Flash :: NetStream Only Playing When Fully Loaded?
Feb 9, 2012
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?

In my project I have five video files that I need to all play simultaneously. I'd like the user to be unable to play them until they are fully loaded, because of course streaming would mean they wouldn't necessarily be playing at synchronized times any more.
So I need to load them all entirely, and have a single button that the user clicks to get them all to play simultaneously.

very annoying bug.. I load a SWF and monitor the loading progress using
Code:
_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded);
_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onSwfProgress);

I have a drawing effect animation (around 200 frames) which is in a movieclip within a movieclip (_level2?). When I run this swf I want the movieclip to start playing even if it is not fully downloaded, like it would if the animation frames were in the main timeline. How can I do this? At the moment it waits for the whole movieclip to download before it plays. I want it to start and play as it downloads.

I'm trying to preload a movie so that it doesn't stutter when it plays. So i thought preload the whole flv and then let it automatically play. I followed Adobe's tutorial [URL] on 'Controlling web video with ActionScript 3 FLVPlayback programming' and added a progress bar all using components. But I just can't get it to work, the progress bar disappears when it loads and the movie starts playing before its preloaded. Here's the online version; [URL] and I've attached the .fla too.

I'm using a preload function with the Movie Clip Loader. Everything works like it should except the external swf's will play before they are fully loaded. At first I only had one frame in each swf, and they wouldn't show up until 100%. Then i added some animations, and now they play out at around 60% loaded.
I know I can fix it with stop() on the first frame and tell it to play after 100%, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or is it something common with MCL and i just wasn't aware of it.

I have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);

I built a pretty simple Flash movie for a client and put a preloader on frame 1. The preloader works fine then the movie plays. What is happening is if you go to another page on the site and then go back to the home page all you see is the preloader bar fully loaded but the movie doesn't play. You have to refresh the page for the swf to play again. It is doing it to me in Firefox but not IE 8 and it is doing it in IE8 on my clients computer...
Here is the code.
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void{ var loaded:Number = e.target.bytesLoaded; var total:Number = e.target.bytesTotal; var pct:Number = loaded/total; loader_mc.scaleX = pct; loaded_txt.text="Loading..." + (Math.round(pct * 100)) + "%";}function onComplete(e:Event):void { gotoAndPlay(2);}
Here is a screen cap of what is happening. After you go back to the homepage all you see is the rpeloader bar fully loaded without the load text.

I have Movie that has a preloader on the 1st Frame and then on the 2nd Frame a swf is loaded using this script.[code]This loads my test_1.swf into the test_1 mc inside the cc mc.This all works fine.... However what I want to know is how to only gotoAndPlay ("3") after the test_1.swf has been fully loaded?The idea I'm working with is that... an initial swf (simply an image with a preloader - test_1) would load into the background when the swf is started and then a menu would appear in frame 3 that would allow the user to replace the background swf with button clicks..... But at the moment the menu on frame 3 is loading before the background swf is loaded.

I'm having a strange problem while preloading external swfs. I have about 6 external swfs that load whenever their respective button is clicked. Each swf will have a short animation that builds the page. Initially, i was testing the swfs with the full page assembled on frame 1.
Everything worked as it should until i started building the animations. Now, instead of the animation starting when the swf is fully loaded, it starts when the preloader is around 60%. This happens everytime at 60%. If I take the animation off and go back to 1 frame, it shows up when it's supposed too, at 100% loaded. I thought i could get around it by putting a stop on the first frame and telling the swf to play with onLodInit(), but it still shows up early with the stop() on frame 1. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this weird problem?

Im trying to draw a bitmap of an dynamically loaded image via xml, and ofcourse i'd like to apply smoothing to my images, as my page resizes with the browser and creates a mess.
The images are loaded with a timer event, which fires every 200ms, and each time this occurs, I'd like to quickly draw the bitmapdata of the image so i can apply the smoothing.
My problem that im having is that the images aren't completely loaded when I run the draw method and so im left with a white box instead.
Currently im using:
Code:
function itemHandler(event:Event):void
{
loadThumbs(event);
thumbLoader.unload();
[Code].....

I have a question that is a bit tricky. Why I want to do this is becouse I need such a dynamic solution as posible with fast downloadtime.
- I have a host file that schould preload child files (this is to display what I can load visual).
- In the child files library i have a clip ready to be exportet (it's exported in first frame)
- when my host noticed that the childs second frame is loaded I want to grab the clip from the childs library and attach it in the host. (after this it will load nextone e.g.)
Is it not posible to get childrens exportet library clips? (have tried to load whole child clip before trying to grab the clip).

One being ... at the moment when a FLVPlayback is imported onto the stage and a user clicks on the exit button before the video it has fully loaded onto the stage, the video keeps loading in the background. I want it to be completely removed and stop loading when the exit button is click... because at the moment it slows the users internet down and the sound also plays in the background when its been fully loaded... The video interface seem to be removed but not the whole thing.
It is also happening to me when I use addChild to load a external JPEG... if the user exits before it is fully loaded to the stage... it keeps loading in the background.[code]...

I am trying to load an external swf into a target. When the swf is completely loaded, I want to execute the next set of actions. I am trying to develop my flash websites so that no coding is done within the child swfs. So I would assume some code like this would work:
_root.holder.loadMovie ("child.swf");
if(_root.holder.getBytesLoaded ==_root.holder.getBytesTotal){
_execute some other command;
}
However it doesn't work! So is there a way to detect when a specific child swf has fully loaded into a target (not _framesLoaded please!) and then set a variable to allow some other actionscript to kick in?

[CS3 AS2]. I'm having trouble preloading a site I'm working on. I think I'm doing it correctly but the preloader page dosen't show up until its done loading. Then jumps straight to the 2nd frame because its loaded. I'm just doing a simple animation on frame 1 (as the preloader anim.) then when its finished loading, goToAndPlay frame 2.
Code:
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I have a pre-loader with dynamic loading text displaying the % of movie loaded. I also have an animated loading bar which goes from left to right.Is there a way of making the loading bar only be fully loaded at 100% an only half full at 50% etc. At the moment the loading bar movie clip plays until loaded and then starts all over again if the movie hasn?t loaded yet.

A website I've recently encoded has HTML5 video that falls back to a Flash video for IE browsers. The MP4 video is played through a SWF file with an FLVPlayBack component, and works perfectly on my company's staging environment. However, once we moved the files to the client's live site, the video's buffering does not work properly. Instead of showing the video controllers and progress bar as the video loads, nothing is shown until the video file is completely downloaded (about 50MB)Here are the settings used for the SWF file and FLVPlayBack Component:
FLVPlayBack:
autoPlay: off
autoRewind: on

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.

I'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?

I 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].....
