Hey there. I'm very new to Flash CS3. I understand the basic concept of the timeline. I'm not a programmer and I just want to create a FLASH movie that has video with audio and some text animation that I can add to my website. I have successfully created some very simple flash movies without video. My problem is that when I embed an AVI file the audio quality degrades so much that it's unusable. The full length of the viedo is about 9 minutes. It was professionally shot in studio and when I play the AVI file it is fine. I tried chunking up the video into 3 minute segments but that still didn't fix the audio quality. I then separated the audio from the video in Pinnacle Studio and then embedded the video into the timeline and added the audio, and now I can't sync up the audio with the video.
I'm interested in embedding a video into my swf file automatically. Therefore, I managed embedding an flv file onto the stage, but the problem is that after I give the embedded video an instance name and refer to the instance in a command (f.e change x,y coordinates or change width/height), on execution of the swf, the video stays frozen while the audio plays. If I don't refer to the embedded video instance, the video plays normally, just not placed correctly on the stage.
I have an empty movie clip in which an external video loads when the user clicks a button.now i need to add a second one, but this video lives online on another site, so all i have for this video is a link and the embed code (like youtube), so how can i have it display in an empty movie clip placeholder?again since I dont have the actual movie clip itself as is the case with the first one, I dont know how to go about this.. all i have is this:
I'm looking for an animation timeline or video/audio timeline ui or maybe like a gantt chart thing that can be adjustable. It's basically draggable icons in tracks and bars that you can adjust the size of.
I am trying to insert a flash video into an html page using dreamweaver 8. The problem is that my .flv file is on a shared network drive (We will call this Drive V). The other files (.html and 2 .swf files created by dreamweaver) are on our intranet server (which in on a different network drive, which we will call Drive I). We don't want to put the .flv file on our intranet server (Drive I) because it would create bandwith problems. When I do it this way I can't see the video. Is there another way of doing this other than using dreamweaver?
On button clicks , I have used movie clip with top registration as base container [ gpageContainer_mc] and i have added and deleted pages to it using similar code for all buttons .
These pages are also movie clips with top left registration[gpage4].
press_review -> is the sub menu button var gp1:gpage1=new gpage1; menu_cont.media_menu.press_review.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,me diaclik3);function mediaclik3(event:MouseEvent ):void { menu_cont.gpageContainer_mc.removeChildAt(1); menu_cont.gpageContainer_mc.addChild(gp1);}
This works perfectly fine for all page navigations .But, the audio persists when I navigate from a page which has video embedded in it .I am able to see the new page but still I hear the audio in the background .I have used file -> import video option to embed video on my page . I didnot add any action scripting for playing the video as these had come when I imported video file and choosing skin for it .
I have created a SWF file using Flash that loads an FLV file on my local development machine.When publishing the SWF file and generating the appropriate HTML, I can successfully load the video by opening the generated HTML page that Flash creates.However, when placing the generated HTML code in my View,the Flash is loading, but the video is not playing.I think it's a reference error to the location of the FLV file, but I've tried every combination I can think of.I placed the SWF and FLV in the corresponding View folder where I want the video to load, but to no avail.
I am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says that the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?
if I set up the facility for people to embed video content on their site via their CMS (using TinyMCE editor), is there any reliable cross platform video format that should be used? From what I can find online, the only reliable way to embed and stream video is using FLV. Other formats seem to have caveats, e.g codecs required or quicktime updates required. Ideally I'd like to avoid this type of situation. If it is the case that FLV is the preferred option, then that involves asking people to encode their video content to FLV before uploading, so there is an extra step required here (unless I can set up the encoding in the back end, but this might take a while to process depending on the size of the video).
I have been trying to embed a video from youtube into an SWF file. I have been looking at the various posts here and I found this actionscript code: System.security.allowDomain("YOUTUBE DOMAIN would go here"); System.security.loadPolicyFile("YOUTUBEDOMAIN would go here/crossdomain.xml"); this.createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc", 10000); this.video_mc.loadMovie ("I had to remove this link so I could post it normally would have the youtube link to the video file");
I created a movie instance on my stage and called it video_mc and pasted the code into a frame. When I press ctrl and enter to test the flash document I get my page as expected and the youtube video appears,however I get the following message: '*** Security Sandbox Violation *** Connection to null halted - not permitted 'I had to remove this link so I could post this on this forum -my post count is less than 50- normally would have the youtube link to the video file -- Remote SWFs may not access local files.'
how to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website www.aye-aye-media.com under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them
No matter whether you embed a flash video using Flash Satay, swfobject, or some other method, there are a number of parameters that can be passed to the embedded video. I'd like this to be a community wiki for the following questions: What parameters can be used to embed a flash video? How can the parameters be accessed via ActionScript?
I'm having problems with embedding a video into my flash file. The visual is fine, but how do I get the audio to play? The video is .mov file right now.
I have Background layer, Bkg_Image layer & Video layer. I have embeded the flv movie on Video layer. Though on stage it shows all the layers, but when I test the movie it shows only Background layer & Video layer. I can't see the Bkg_Image layer.
The Actions layer has external swf loading AS3 which is working fine. Only the problem with Bkg_Image layer which is imprortant for me.
When I test movie, I see as in the following snapshot (Just the Background_Image & Video):
I have successfully embedded the youtube video in my flash code with: //create area to put youtube video on screen this.createEmptyMovieClip("reason1_video", 10000); reason1_video._xscale = 60; reason1_video._yscale = 60; this.reason1_video.loadMovie("[URL]"); However, the video plays with black bars on top and bottom even though it plays without those directly from youtube: [URL]. Even if I take off the scaling, it still has the black bars. How do I get rid of them?
I've just posted a reply in the ActionScript3 Forum as someone else has had the same problem, but I can't find a solution so posting again here as it's taken me about 5 hours of getting nowhere and I'm sure this is really easy... have one frame on my time line called "theatre" and another called "Video" the buttons between the two work but the video continues to play in the background when I go back to the "theatre" frame on the same time line and I can't find a stop function that will work A button on my main page links to Video on the timeline with following AS3
btnVid.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickbtnVid); function clickbtnVid(event:Event) :void { gotoAndStop("Video");
37MB video file embed in flash timeline and since we want to show text and hold movie to show different text, i use timer, setinternval and settimeout function
but it works on 1st option but timeline is not stoping on 2nd funcation and it continues?
how to hold or delay frame in flash when embed movie in it.
I'm doing a project that will require video playback - my idea is to have a timeline with "bookmarks" for lack of a better word. The (short) video will play and will lead into the next video playing. If the user doesn't want to watch the first couple of videos they can click ahead on the timeline to watch the part of the video they want. I as hoping to have a progress bar attached to this timeline, that will play along with the video duration and lead into the next video.
I created 5 swfs (simple, short animations) The swfs are named "movie1," "movie2," and so on. I want to import all 5 movie clips and thread them together so that they play one after the other inside the timeline of a new Flash Document. I am hoping to have "movie 1" play, stop, have "movie 2" play, stop and so on until the 5th "movie plays then stops (no looping necessary). It will be played on a Mac laptop and not online.
I've been fiddling with timeline actions for 2 days and can't figure how to lead one movie to the other. I've been using Action Script 2 so far. What I've done is create 5 layers (1 for each clip)
"movie1" is on layer 1, frame 1 "movie2" is on layer 2, frame 2 "movie3" is on layer 3, frame 3 "movie4" is on layer 4, frame 4 "movie5" is on layer 5, frame 5
I'm working on a project where an flv will be embedded into the flash timeline and graphics will be animated overtop. My video is going to be around 3 minutes long, what's the best way to load this with out the view sitting idle while the entire piece loads?
I have to purchase a video player that has chapter names ON the timeline since I don't have the time to build one, but I can't find a compontent online that already has chapters on the timeline...
This is what I need:

video player with chapters
I looked online but couldn't find any build like this to download. If I can't find one to download, does anyone know how to add these chapter links to the timeline? There will be a lot of chapter inks, not just 2 like the image above...
I have a client who wants me to create a flash presentation (interactive - non-video) and they want the presentation to contain a standard seekbar and volume control at the bottom (as you would see when watching a video) but in my case these controls will not be controlling a video, they will instead allow you to scrub through the playback timeline and control the volume of audio in the timeline.
I've got a Flash file with a video symbol on the stage with the instance name 'videoPlayer'. I'm controlling video playback using the following script to play the video, check when it finishes, then resume playing the rest of the timeline:
stop(); var duration:Number = 0; var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc); videoPlayer.attachVideo(ns); [Code]....
I've then also got 2 buttons on the stage for pause and play. The pause button is working fine, with the following script attached to it:
I've been making the transition from AS2 to AS3 for the last week and am making progress. But I'm having a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm using Flash CS5. I have a fairly simple Flash website I'm working on. I have sections on the timeline like Home, About, Photos, Media ... all set up using labels for each of those sections. Everything is working fine but when I go to my Media section where I have a video placed (using the flv component) I'm having a problem as follows:
The video auto plays fine when I go to the Media section but when I attempt to leave the section and go to another the sound of the video doesn't stop. It continues to play when I go to another section and if I go back to the section it starts again. The video is not there when I go to another section which is the part that's confusing me. In AS2 when I did this the video and the sound both stopped because you went to another section on the timeline. Why is the sound of the video not stopping in AS3?
