I have this little NetStream movie (which I'm not allowed to show, sorry) set up like this:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
[code].....
I have a problem with my loaded movie clip, its playing very fast than its suppose to, (using loadMovie) I've tried to adjust the frame rate of the main file and the movie file, but still the problem occurs....
View 1 RepliesI am using NetStream, NetConnection and Video object to play an mp4 file which is hosted over a web server using http.This is an AIR application and the relevant code is pasted below:
var url:String = <some http url>;
connect_nc = new NetConnection();
connect_nc.connect(null);
[code]........
I've been searching for this for a while, and either my google-fu is weak or there is no easy to find answer yet...
I am using a NetStream to stream a video file from anywhere. The NetStream is NOT connected to any server. Here is the code:
// Create new connection and stream
_netCon = new NetConnection();
_netCon.connect(null);
[Code]....
This basically works, of course, but the video always starts playing only when it is fully loaded. It also passes the metadata only then. But the main reason to use a NetStream is so that you can play a video BEFORE it is fully loaded.
I tried playing around with the bufferTime property, but to no avail. Also made sure that there is no caching involved when loading the video. I always load a "new one" by adding some "?bla=date" value behind the url.
Is it possible that the "real" streaming only works when really connected to a server? Or am I missing something else?
Got a 31fps .swf that when I play it in Flash from Test Movie plays at the proper speed. However, when I test it in a browser, the .swf plays about twice as fast. The movie does load a H.264 .m4v video at frame one so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Does anyone know of a way I can force the .swf to play at 31 fps?

View 1 RepliesOn my simple website, everytime i navigate to another page, the movie clip plays extremely fast and is out of sync with the sound.
View 1 RepliesThe flash site I'm working on has an underwater theme, and I think it would be neat to have it make sort of "whoosh" sound when the mouse moves fast, like the sound that comes from moving your hand through water, and I was wondering if there was a way for actionscript to know when the mouse moves quickly. It's not comepletely neccessary, just something that would be cool and add to the underwater feel of the thing.
View 1 RepliesI googled "as3 audio slow motion fast forward rewind" and found only this of relevance: playing slow motion, fast forward , rewind in a video player in flash video player, which briefly talks about how to fast forward and rewind a video as well as two options for doing slow motion on video. I only need audio, though. I think I might be able to do fast forward and rewind by stopping the SoundChannel and then playing the sound at a different position using addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, ~), but I'm completely lost on how to apply the advice regarding slow motion. I use Flash CS5.5 and all the sounds I want to operate on are already in the library.
View 1 RepliesI am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I have a URL that dynamically serves an FLV file or GIF file at different times.
For example, if I put [URL] in my browser, and the server happens to serve an FLV file at that time, the browser will ask me to download the FLV file. If the server happens to serve a GIF file at that time, the browser will display the GIF. Basically [URL] will generate dynamic file content.
In my actionscript I have the following code (assume the video object, netconnection, and other initialization are already done):
netStream.play(http://www.myserver.com/path1/var=somevalue);
When the URL serves an FLV file, the video plays successfully in my flashplayer.
Note that the *actual* FLV file is not specified, only the path that is supposed to contain it. I haven't seen any example of this before, but it works when I try it.
Problem: If the URL happens to serve a GIF, my flashplayer stalls.
Question:
How can I detect that the URL served a GIF? (so that my player can recover) I tried checking if an onStatus event was fired (I'm expecting NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound), but there doesn't seem to be any. It looks like the netstream object did not react to the wrong input.
Is there any way to get a NetStream's meta from FMS other than starting playback?I want duration, framerate, etc. before the movie starts playing.
View 1 RepliesI'm brininging in external .flv's into my swf using the NetStream method, I can't seem to detect when the flv has finished playing so I can reset the buttons in my video playlist.
View 11 RepliesI'm sure this is a simple question, but I just can't crack it. In my video player I want to detect if the current status is playing or paused. But I can't figure out where this info comes from. Is it a property of the ns object?

View 7 RepliesI am reusing a NetStream object to play different live streams.
What annoys me is that even though I start playing another stream name on this same stream object, when it is attached to a new Video object after issuing the "play" call, there is stale data after the previous playback. It's NOT the video object obviously, as I already create a new Video object every time I play another stream name on this NetStream object (Video.clear does not work anyway - known player bug).
I can rectify the situation by "resetting" the NetStream object - creating and setting up a new one for each playback, assigning it to the old reference - essentially transparent to the application. The problem is performance - there is the overhead of creating and setting up a new stream object every time. I wish to avoid such overheads.
I wish there was some form of "clear" call for the NetStream class as well...
I'm making a small video players in AS3, and I've found that after calling NetStream.pause() or NetStream.togglePause(), no status messages are being fired any more.If I click the "pause" button while the video is buffering, I never get the Buffer.Full message.Here is some code:
_connection = new NetConnection();
_connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
_connection.connect(null);[code].....
Is it possible for action script to import audio files into the flash movie while the movie is playing. (Instead of manually importing a file from within the flash application) Or some way to load an audio file located at a remote url, that is not preloaded, and play it.I've searched through the action script reference guide, but have found nothing to do the job.

View 7 RepliesI am currently trying to port a game that I wrote in as2 to use as3. Most of my code is divided into classes but my art and buttons are placed on the time line and divided into different scenes.Now getting access to these objects are no problem. I just wait for a render event and then I get their reference by using getChild from the root object. Now my problem is that when I change scenes the game suddenly speeds up and run really fast for some time and then goes back to normal.My first experience with this problem was when I added a skip button to my game intro.since I didn't stop it but simply chanced scene it went on playing in the "background" as I could still hear the sounds from it. now when I entered the new scene every animation ran twice as fast or even faster and it stopped once my intro finished in the "background" or wherever it was . I solved the problem by simply stopping all animations before changing scene and thought that was the solution, but I soon discovered that, that didn't work at some places.
When I had made the menu scene working and started moving between some other scenes without animations but with lots of movie clips the problem reappeared. I tried to track my problem down to some move clips and I sort of did find some that I could remove to solve my problem but these clips only contained one frame and had text in em so there was no animations to stop. Also the speedup got pretty random, sometimes I got lucky and the speedup didn't happen but most of the times they did.Now my question is why are these speedups happening, and how do I prevent them?I have been thought about copying everything on each scene into a movieclip and then add and remove those clips to stage, and when I change scenes.
im trying to make a movie clip flicker really fast. At first i had two keyframes. the first one set the movie clips visibility to true and the secong to false. Its just not quite as fast as i wanted and i dont want to change the fps. how to do this with actionscript. Im sure its pretty easy.
View 8 RepliesI am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?
View 2 RepliesI am working on an app that will take a snapshot of an rtmp stream of an archived video, save it to a file, and ExternalInterface the file name to the hosting page to javascript it up for display.
I actually have all pieces working great. The only time an error is thrown is when I pause the video, seek to somewhere, and then try to take a snapshot. Then there is a runtime error of:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: mySwf.swf cannot access rtmp://myFlashServer/myApp. No policy files granted access.I've seen post after post of suggestions and have tried them, but without success.
I have the crossdomain.xml and my FlashMediaServer security setup fine (it is actually working, except for this one glitch). It just seems to be the pause-then-seek-then-BitMapData.draw() combination which is creating issues.
Another weird thing: after the error is thrown, if I resume the stream and take a snapshot, it works flawlessly again.
Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

We're currently creating a Flash presentation (just one movie really) which needs to play and loop on DVD players in retail outlets. It's basically going to be a series of JPEGs which animates between frames. What I need to know is: What is the best size (in pixel dimensions) to go for? How will this be affected by different TV sizes / ratios, such as widescreen vs. normal? We're planning on publishing the Flash movie as a .mov file and then burning this to a DVD. Does that sound a good idea?
