Flash :: Accessing .FLV Movies On A Virtual Directory In IIS 7.5 Using FlowPlayer
Aug 30, 2011
I have a website setup in IIS 7.5 with a virtual directory pointing to a local folder outside of the www root of my website e.g:
the website is c:website
the virtual directory is in c:images
I use flowplayer to play my movies, when I put the movie path in my website root directory structure, say c:websitemoviesa.flv it works fine in the player, but if I put them inside the virtual directory and point the player to play it from there using a relative URL, it doesn't work
I suspect that this has to do with either permissions or flash configurations to allow it to access directories outside of the scope of the website, but I have no idea where to edit such settings
I can stream files in the root of a NAS drive (/nas_dir), but not in any of the sub folders (/nas_dir/sub/). FMS has read/write permission to all the files on the NAS but all i get is "stream not found" when I access anything in the sub folders (streams play fine from the root of the NAS) FMS is running on rh5.4
I am running Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5.1 r516 on a CentOS system. I also have WHM/cPanel installed on this system. My scenario is this. We have a large number of MP4 media files that are currently located in a web root directory created by cPanel: /home/mediafa/public_html/fullservices. These all work without a problem when doing progressive downloads. However, we also want to make them streamable with FMS as well. From the documentation, I should be able to create an entry in the /<fms install dir>/applications/vod/Application.xml file to look up files in that folder.
Here is my VirtualDirectory block: <StreamManager><VirtualDirectory> <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.--> <Streams>/;/home/mediafa/public_html/fullservices</Streams> <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams> </VirtualDirectory></StreamManager>
However, when I try to connect to a file that is in that directory, I get a 404 error in the access.00.log file. I've tried to change the owner/group on the fullservices folder as well as the owner/group of the target file to the fms user/group, but I still cannot connect to it. The connection address is rtmp://<ipAddress>/vod/mp4:1005-03m_256k.mp4.
I followed the instructions in this tutorial to set up Zend AMF as a way of passing data from my flash app to my PHP app:So I have the directory structure and everything as described there. This is my gateway controller:
class Gateway extends CI_Controller { function __construct()
I'm looking into using Flex as a level editor for a flash game project I'm doing for my degree.
However I would like to load the actual game.swf (where all the artwork is done) into the Flex editor, populating a tree/list with all the symbols in the library so they can be visibly referenced in the engine while you are building up your maps and levels.
Is this even possible? I've been doing some research for the past few days and I've found bits. Like this:
Code: var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(url); loader.addEventListener(Event.INIT, callbackFunction);
[Code]....
This works if you know the instance names of each symbol in the library, is there a way of getting a list of them all so I can loop through something like the code above or simple getting an array of all the symbols?
I am having problems accessing a button after I have attached it to the stage from the library... My code is as such:
[Code]...
On the rollover - the movie recognises nothing as executable. OK >> Yes - I have linked in the properties, an identifier for AS Export .. for the original map_functions, inside it is an MC called close_mc - This MC is linked for AS Export as close_mc Why is this not working? PS. the function calls are from Lacos Tween engine.
For a site I'm using Flowplayer and the Overlay tool from jQuery Tools, to show video. Within windows everything is fine in the main three browsers: IE7/8/9, Firefox and Chrome. Within OS X (Snow leopard), the problems begin: A click in the video, anywhere, causes a reload. This is the case for the three browsers Safari, Firefox and Chrome (Not in Chrome 12.0.742.53 beta ???) Giving the embeded player the property wmode = 'opaque' or wmode = 'transparent' results in the same situation on the windows platform, but only Firefox en Chrome browsers. Not in IE. So wmode is really bugging me... documentation on wmode ? I can't find anything suitable
I have a simple Flowplayer playlist. First one plays a short clip, which then cuts off, and an image is displayed. Is there a way to make the image clickable? [code]...
I've noticed in testing a problem whereby Flowplayer will not play any content without a internet connection. All the files which make up my project are stored locally, and I've gone through and checked all the paths to make sure nothing points outwards towards the internet.
Curiously if I pull the internet connection out before the web page loads, the video file fails to load, however installing a loopback adapter gets around this. How can I alleviate this problem?
For proofs sake I've loaded the page in chrome looked at the network activity;
The flow player will play the audio of a *.flv, but doesn't play the video and I've no idea why. The initial example page using the default flowplayer flv url works fine. When I change the url to my godaddy site, it doesn't work. I'm using Movavi Video Suite 8 to perform the conversion to flash from mp4. I think the metadata is included in the flash file when it converts, but I'm not certain. I used the meta data injector found here: [URL] to inject meta data into the flash files and it still did not work.
Also of note is that the player's progress bar shows the start, current, & end time values of the video, so I think the metadata is there. I've still no clue why this isn't working, though.
I wonder if it's my *.flv file as the player will load the mp4 file it was generated from. I used a premium application called MOVAVI Video Suite to perform the conversion. I don't think this is the case because I can upload the converted *.flv file to youtube and it plays fine.
Also worth noting is that the Flow Player plays audio and not video both when the flv source is pointed to my godaddy site as well as when its pointed to a local folder on my hard drive that contains the player, it's files, the video files, and the example .html page being used to test this.
Possibly something else worth mentioning is that I have not put the flow player files on my godaddy site yet because the video picture isn't showing locally.I have the same issue with the LongTailVideo player.
Here is the html for my test page:
<!-- include flowplayer JavaScript file that does Flash embedding and provides the Flowplayer API. --> <script type="text/javascript" src="flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js"></script>
I'm trying to write a simple plugin for the flash player flowplayer (documentation for writing a plugin for flowplayer can be found here). I'm new to flash and I think I'm having a problem connecting the .fla file to the .as file when compiling into a .swf. As it is, when I include the plugin, the player doesn't show up.
I've set the .fla's document class to the .as file and added the .as file to the .fla's publishing classpath.
The .as file can be found here and the .fla file can be found here
When I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, and update the package statement and symbol link appropriately, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0."Create flash project and put a rectangle on the stage. Covert it to symbol and assign it to class TestPanel - or whatever you choose. Also configure the fla so that is uses a Document (Main) class.Create Main.as and TestPanel.as in the same folder. In the Main class, instantiate a instance of TestPanel and add it to the stage. Flash will, predictably, add the rectangle symbol and everything is fine.Now modify TestPanel so that its constructor method takes a Number and have Main.as pass some number to TestPanel.[code]You now get the error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 0.When I move the TestPanel.as into a deeper directory, Flash somehow is looking elsewhere for the base class for Symbol, even though I'm mapping that Symbol to com.place.TestPanel.
I'm doing a project like youtube. After some try, I can run FMS, dynamic playlist and flowplayer (I think this is what I need, am I right?) However, when I try to combine them, I discover a lot of problems. I follow this [URL] beginner_dynstre am_fms.html to learn about FMS, this [URL] to learn about dynamic playlist, this [URL] to learn about flowplayer. In the tutorial, the dynamic playlist cant run with FMS (even the tutorial says can, but when I try it, it cant!), and it is using Flash and as(AS3), the flowplayer is using html and js, I really cont know how to combine these 3 things together.
I'm developing a Flash-only application and I want to integrate the flowplayer directly into it, but not on the webpage using some swfobject-like approach.So, at some moment (for example, when arbitrary event fires), I would like to add the flowplayer object to the scene so that it starts streaming the specified video.[URL]
I have a Flex application and I would like to add the FlowPlayer to it. I have downloaded the flowplayer.swc file, but I am not sure what to add to my MXML to include the flowplayer.
the code above should display "a" in a dynamic text box when you press "a" but how about backspace? I thought that the code below would work but it deletes the whole entry rather than a character.
I'm working with a rather large flash file and I've already been to the flash website to download all the updates that deal with large file issues. Things are much better now. However, I was having issues with flash coming back and telling me that my virtual memory was low. I adjusted it and now I'm not getting that error anymore. Now every hour or so flash will just quit. I'll be working and then it will be gone. I don't have a lot of ram on my pc.. 2GB. I'm thinking I'll upgrade it to 4 tomorrow. I'm working WinXP service pack 3 Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00GHz 2 GB of RAM Video Card: ATI Radeon X1050
I want to create a Flash version of a Virtual pet.I need to generate a level of health , hunger , boredom but im not to sure how about in implementing this.
I�m thinking of using the �maths.random� function to generate a random level of each but im not to sure if this is the best way of doing it (and how to use it)
Would it be better if I just set a value for each and then decrement X amount every so often?

I have to decide whether I should choose a Flash or a HTML5 presentation tier third party application for displaying virtual tours. The thing is: The Flash app is better, but doesn't work one iPad. Which do you think I should go for? Flash, high quality or HTML5, a little worst quality?
I've used third party software to create virtual tour for my clients website. It works perfectly fine on its own, you can see it here [URL]
But Once I include virtual_tour.html page on my index page it doesn't work, you can see it here [URL]
I'm confident that I changed all paths to files correctly, but still it doesn't work. However I can see Gray box that should contain virtual tour, but it doesn't display it
I am looking to change the URL of a clip when the stream is not found. I am properly configuring the onError event, as I can debug the specific line or add an alert, but what I am having trouble with is the following:
The problem is this image is never being loaded to the player upon the error -- I get a stream not found error message and then the player continues to look for this 'unfound' stream. I'm able to hit the URL and see the image, but am unable to change over upon stream not found. Per the documentation it is supposed to be able to take an image as the URL, but using a fully qualified or relative URL doesn't seem to be working. This is somewhat simplified as we are looking to use customized images for each error code.
I am using the VideoJS HTML5 video player (http://videojs.com) on a WordPress site I'm developing. The player launches in a modal window, and it works great for the most part, but the Flowplayer flash fallback for IE isn't behaving as I want.
When the user closes the modal box, playback should stop/pause. This works fine in HTML5, but not with Flowplayer. I've had a look at Flowplayer documentation but can't seem to get their suggested code to work. I've tried several variations, with no luck and cannot find a working example on the net.
It may be worth noting that VideoJS is called from WordPress, using VideoJS WP plugin.
The snippet below shows what I think it should work, where $f is the flow player selector, but I've tried other ways.
I'm quite a newb in flash. I am trying to use the free edition of flowplayer as a library on my FLA project. If anybody did or tried this, please tell me how can I use the flowplayer to play embedded FLVs.
I've tried creating instances of the FlowPlayer(), Launcher() and Preloader() objects. On each one i've recieved errors of incorrect casting.
