Flash - FLVPlayback Custom Ui: SeekBar Component Never Creates SeekBarHandle?
Feb 28, 2011
I've setup an FLVPlayback 2.5 component with no skin. Then I've added all the UI components and assigned them to the FLVPlayback instance. I'm using a PlayPauseButton, a SeekBar, a MuteButton, a VolumeBar and a FullScreenButton. All of the components had their graphics customized. Extra care was taken not to rename or delete any movieclips.
If I try the custom components by publishing the movie, everything works fine.The problem arises when I dynamically load this SWF into another one. The parent SWF loads the playback controls and instantiates everything and starts the video playerback.
What doesn't work is the SeekBar's and VolumeBar's Handle. It just doesn't appear. If I put a trace() in those MovieClips, they never appear on the console, as if they are never created.

I'm working with an FLVPlayback component in Flash CS4 and I'm trying to target the seek bar handle, which according to what I've read so far, is created at runtime and it's assigned an instance name of handle_mc.I've tried targeting that, but with no success. After researching for most of my day and trying several different methods, I have no idea what else to do to have access to that handle and change its alpha property

My big question is how to access the instance of the "SeekBarHandle" of the seekbar component which is created at runtime? I have a AS3 project (flashplayer 9) with a FLVPlayback component and custom FLV controls, partially build from standard FLV control components (play/pause component, stop component, seekbar component, volumecontrol component). The FLV control components are added at 'root' level of the project. What I'm trying to do is to switch the visiblity of the custom FLV controls where the seekbar and volumebar are the party poopers because of the on runtime created handle bars.
I read many many threads about people trying to access the instances of the handle bars but for the most of us out there with no luck. I know that the instance of the handle bar is created at the same level as the instance of the seekbar component but I can't trace/access/find the instance of the handle bar. NOTE: I don't want to add the seekbar component to a container mc/sprite because of the changing width of the seekbar. When I do it's disformed because by the scaling of the parent.

I'm rewinding an FLVPlayer w/AS, but the little triangle on the seekbar doesn't move back to the start. The code I'm using is: videoComponent.stop(); videoComponent.seek(0); videoComponent.playheadTime = 0;

my issue is with flash FLVplakback control with a seekBar attached to it. example can be found here. for some unknown reason when i try to rewind using the seekbar, it produces a loud noise at the start. whereas if i let it play out the entire movie (mp4) and then play again using the play button it does not produce such noise. in case i rewind using the seebBar after playback has completed even then it does not produce the noise.

I'm trying to provide a seekbar for a FLVPlayback. I have MovieClips (Graphics) for the base bar, fill bar and thumb. How can I attach these MovieClips to the FLVPlayback using AS3 code? Do I have to create a skin, if so then how? I'm using the Flash CS4 (Not Flex).

I'm using the standard flvplayback component v.2.5.0.26
When I load a flv file in it, all UI buttons and buffering work correctly with the exception of the seekbar - when I drag the seekbar handle forward, the video doesn't go to that position, after I release the handle, it jumps back to the beginning of the video and it keeps playing from there
Does anyone know if it happens because of the specific flv file or I need to add some AS3 code to the seekbar to make it work?

I have an AS2 swf that loads FLV videos into a FLVPlayback component and attaches a seekBar component. When the video stops I unload the seek bar from the screen and set the FLVPlayback.seekBar = null. When another video is to be played I set up the seek bar again by attaching the seekBar component to the stage and assigning FLVPlayback.seekBar = newSeekBarInstance.
[Code]...
What Im noticing is that sometimes the seek bar is removed from the screen and sometimes it isnt? I cant seem to notice any pattern here. Has anyone had similar problems? Do I need to force garbage collection?

I have a FLVPlayback component with an FLV. I have it setup so that when the FLV reaches a cuepoint at the end, a button appears to rewind and play the video, and remove the button. This all works fine. My question is if there is a way to remove the button (removeChild) if the user goes back in the video using the seekbar in the FLVPlayback component?

I have been looking all over for a solution, and I find a lot of posts that ask the question, but sadly no answers.
I am using an flv (videoClip) with embedded event cue points. These cue points bring on bullet points based on where the video is in the playback. Sadly when I use the seekbar the bullets will stay on until the next cue point is reached. I think I am getting close, but am hoping someone can help me finish it out!

Has anyone seen a Flash Component that creates a slide transition similar to this [URL]. Looks like there is a looping background image and the other slides are loaded above it (hopefully via XML?) and the transition effect maybe in a component???

I was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
var mysong = new music();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var myTransform = new SoundTransform();
myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?

I have a quick question regarding cue points. I am creating a file (flash CS3 using AS2) that includes an FLV video with cue points. The video is an FLVPlayback component (vs. a video object), and the cue points have been embedded in the FLV using the Flash Video Encoder. The video is a simple video capture of a person presenting a slide show. The video does not include the slides that this person is presenting. When the video plays and the cue points are reached, I have set slides (not part of the video, just separate elements on the stage) to appear on the stage, and change as each cue point is reached. The slides display at the appropriate point in the presentation, and this seems to work well.
The issue comes in with the scrubber. I am using the SeekBar component to show progress through the video and to allow the end user to scrub through the video, if they wish. However, when they scrub, the slides do not change. Meaning, if the user moves the scrubber forward or backward, the slide does not change to match the new location of the playhead, so the slides are out of synch with the presenter in the video. Is there a way to "read" the current cue point, based on the location of the playhead, so that the appropriate slides display at the proper scrubbed time in the movie?

I'm fiddling around with the YouTube ActionScript 3.0 Player API. It's pretty cool and simple but one thing i can't seem to get to work, nor find any info on the web:
I want to use the SeekBar component with the Youtube API. I tried this, which works with the FLVPlayback component:
var seek:MovieClip = new SeekBar();
player.seekBar = seek;

I have the seek bar component on my stage and need to be able to use it to seek through the timeline just like any other video player. However, I am not using this to control a FLV movie, but just need it to control where I can seek through my animation.

I've created a site in CS4/AS3 (my first site, so I'm still pretty new at Flash and especially AS3). The site contains a number of embedded movieclips. For each movieclip, the user needs to be able to control the playback. I've created a play/pause button that works but I cannot figure out how to use the seekbar component so that the user can move around within the movieclip. Is the seekbar component only for manipulating video files? If so, how might I go about creating a seekbar-type feature for movieclips?

For some reason this answer really eludes me, and my googlefu fails... Is it possible to customize a seekbar component so that the handle is a simplebutton (ie up/over/down states), or would I have to write my own seekbar for this functionality?

I created a custom MXML component, TurboContent, that extends the NavigatorContent class:
<s:NavigatorContent xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
[Code].....
In this case, the 'myButton' component never shows up, but all the elements of the base component do (3 buttons and a datagrid).

ActionScript Code:
private function drawMap(tile1:DisplayObject, tile2:DisplayObject):void
{
var _tile1 = tile1;
[Code].....
The idea behind this is to store custom sprites in an array and then feed the array to the drawMap function, which would use the sprites from the array to draw a map.

I've made a simple package that creates a custom textfield and a circle sprite. pressing the circle sprite is supposed to update the textfield text with some sent string. The string is being sent by using a custom event. The problem is, for some reason the script never reaches the function that handles the custom event....why isn't the updateText event firing??

I have developed a video player using Flash 8 Professional and the FLVPlayback component. Recently I have been testing a few 720p .mov files converted to FLV by FFMPEG running on an encoding server. I am noticing that these files do not play back in my video player. It appears that they do not have any audio attached to them but when I play them in Adobe Media Player the audio is there.
Is this due to the FLVPlayback component in Flash 8 not supporting HD videos? When I test locally the video picture plays with no sound but when I run in a browser the video freezes and does not play. The progress bar appears to move as if the video is playing however.

Everything I've tried so far with a FLVPlayback component to seemlessly loop a progressively-downloaded 15 second video has failed. There's always a split-second pause when it's time to loop. For the scenario, embedding video in a flash project is not an option, and the split-second pause is unacceptable. I've tried setting autorewind to true and handling autorewind event fired by FLVplayback. I've tried watching the playhead of the flvplayer for when It gets upwards of 99.5 percent done and seeking to 0. My latest solution involves having two VideoPlayer instances with the same source behind the FLVPlayback component and toggling between them when it's time to loop, and there is still a seem between the end and beginning. I've tested the video in quicktime to make sure it's not an artifact of the video.

We have a huge project written in AS2 with the old FLVPlayback component which was responsible for progressive download playback of FLVs. I'd like to support MP4 files (which is now supported in Flash 9 and up with the updated FLVPlayback) but would like to not have to rewrite all of the project.I've seen in various posts on SO surmised that one could possibly use CS4 to open the AS2 project, replace the FLVPlayback component with newer one and build.

I'm trying to insert a player on a Facebook Page tab with FBML with fb:swf. I have the following:[code]I can see the video, no problem. It plays inside a FLVPlayback component, which uses a skin (referred by /player/skinName.swf, I tried also the absolute path here). This player works perfectly everywhere else (even on an iframe Facebook application, where it's not inserted using the fb:swf tag, but with object, of course). However, I can't see the skin on the Page tab.

I'm using a FLvPlayBack component and I have the skin setting set to none. I've dragged a PlayPauseButton from my library to my stage in a movieclip. The button pauses and plays the video, but now what i want to do is mimic the "autohide" feature in a normal skin.how i might accomplish this?

I'm using the same FLVPlayback component to play many page transition videos throughout a large flash site I'm building. On each transition, I'm setting the component's source using myFLVPlayback.source and listening for the fl.video.VideoEvent.READY event before proceeding with each page transition. This works fine as long as the transition between every pair of pages uses a different video.
Unfortunately, I'm running into a problem when the same page-to-page transition video needs to get invoked for two consecutive transitions. When playing the same video twice in a row, setting the source property of the component to the value it already has doesn't seem to do anything, meaning that my listeners for fl.video.VideoEvent.READY never fire. I could do something hackish like setting the source to a tiny, never-used-elsewhere FLV before setting it to the FLV that I'm actually using for the transition as a means of "resetting" the component, but I'd like to know what best practices are in a situation like this (insofar as best practices with something like the FLVPlaybackComponent can be discussed with a straight face).
I've perused the livedocs for the component but came up empty-handed, and manually using NetStream, NetConnection, and Video objects at this late stage isn't really an option.
