Flash - Reset FLVPlayback Component For Playback With Same Source?

Dec 31, 2009

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.

var shuffledFiles:Array = shuffleArray(files);
//quick test[code].....

This script works. In the Output every flv is listed randomly, and then repeated. Next up i want this AS Script to work with an FLV Component.But how to I get that to work?In my library I have the 5 flvs, and flvplayback component.I dragged the FLVPlayback component to the stage, but I can only add one flv in the source.

I am wanting to play a number of movie clips and flash produced video clips. On the main timeline I have a frame for each clip I want to play.

Flash :: Playback Of F4V Using FLVPlayback Won't Use Progressive Download

Dec 17, 2010

I am using FLVPlayback Component in Flash AS3 to play an F4V video hosted on a different server. I want it to start playing as soon as possible, but the video won't start playing until the F4V is completely downloaded (I checked with Firebug). I tried fooling around with the component's bufferTime parameter, but it didn't seem to make a difference. For what it's worth, the SWF is being embedded in a Facebook profile using the FBML tag fb:swf, although I can't see how that would make a difference here.

Actionscript 3 :: Control The FLVPlayback Component's Volume Using The Slider Component In Flash?

Mar 20, 2012

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Reset Source On VideoPlayer

Feb 25, 2009

Imagine for a minute that you live in an imperfect world and you're having to work with people who think that a url to a youtube page (.html) is the same thing as a url to a flv (.flv). Long story shorter, your VideoPlayer.load() keeps getting html files passed in instead of flv files. I'm running a try/catch, but I'm not sure how to reset the source on the VideoPlayer.

VideoPlayer.source is read-only and
VideoPlayer.load(null)
Gives the same error as
VideoPlayer.load([*.html])
If not, I'm just going to do an extension check before I do VideoPlayer.load().

Flash :: Reset List Component So That Nothing Is Selected

Oct 28, 2009

I have a list component on the stage in an AS3 movie. I populate it with values at runtime and the user can select multiple values. When a button is clicked I want the list to reset to a state where nothing is selected, all I can figure out is to set the selected index to 0 and have the first position on the list either blank or reading "choose from the list" and make the code ignore this if it is selected. Is there a way to reset list (and combobox components) to nothing selected.

Professional :: Switching FLV Source File Mid-playback

Nov 22, 2010

I have a number of different videos (all of the same duration and resolution) encoded with almost the same content - however they have different colour schemes, etc., and I require my FLV player to be able to switch seamlessly between them.

That is, if the player is currently playing "test1.flv" and the user presses the 'switch' button, I want to switch over to playing "test2.flv" in the same player, picking up at the same point in time.
 
I used to have a server-side solution that could fake this, but that isn't a long-term solution. Might I ask how you experts would handle something like this?
 
Do I need Flash Media Server, or can it be done with just Flash?

Flash 8 :: FLVPlayback Component In (AS2) And Support For HD H.264 Video

Feb 19, 2010

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.

Flash :: FLVPlayback Component Won't Seamlessly Loop

May 19, 2010

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.

Flash - Use CS4 To Build An AS2 Project That Uses The New FLVPlayback Component?

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.

Flash FLV Playback Component Controls Not Working?

The video loads and plays fine and the controls appear but you cant click on anything like you can when you assign the skin in the parameters. It is a default Flash skin. At first I thought it was due to the video layer being under a mask, so I moved it on top and it didnt change anything.

ActionScript 3.0 :: FLVPlayback Source With Query Strings (parameters) Doesn't Load

Aug 31, 2010

I'm currently trying to use the FLVPlayback component and pass a source FLV that's living on a cloudfront webserver. The problem is that the cloudfront requires authentication in the form of query strings in the source FLV. For example:[code]It adds on "&FLVPlaybackVersion= 2.1" to the end.I saw a different article that said I should add a dummy variable at the end like "&dummy=.flv" because I was told that Flash is basically looking for an .flv extension at the end and you can trick it, but it doesn't work because they add on additional code.

Flash 7 :: Play A FMS Stream (live Or On Demand), Either An FLVPlayback Component

Jul 16, 2009

In order to play a FMS stream (live or on demand), either an FLVPlayback component or the Video class is needed.And they require ActionScript 3 and Flash 8 or above.
 
As far as i know , Youtube, Dailymotion and Google Video stream their on demand videos from a FMS, and their players are compatible with Flash 7.
 
How can they achieve this?  If Youtube, Google and Dailymotion do that, i deduce it's possible..
 
I tried to create a Flash 7 application that plays a video coming from FMS, using a MediaDisplay component, but it doesn't work well. Sometimes it shows the video, sometimes not.So i don't think youtube player uses MediaDisplay..

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.
