Flash :: Stop A Video Before It Starts?
Jun 12, 2011
I'm comfortable with PHP and Javascript but this is the first time I'm using flash. I have Flash CS5.
I've managed to import a movie file, however, as soon as it's downloaded it starts playing. I've tried using the Action stop(); coding, which works file in the export preview in CS5, but on a website it runs straight away.
I know I can't use the command because that stops the timeline but by then the video is already playing. My solution would be to use and have the video in frame 2, then get javascript to jump to frame 2 when I was ready. However, I can't find a way to import a video file to a frame in CS5. Is there a better way?

I've been using the "Reusable Preloader Using MovieClipLoader" from the tutorial section of this site.The only difference is that i don't use'm for preloading jpg. I load external swf files containing video. Everything works fine so far. The only problem is that the preloaded video already starts playing while preloading (at about 30%), but without showing the video.This is the code i have so far:
Code:
bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100");[code].....

I'm tweaking the video code found here [URL] His progress bar starts at the edge of the stage. My progress bar starts at x=40 into the stage. My problem is that even though all my mcs related to the progress bar are positioned properly the scrubber mc hops to the edge of the screen when the video starts. It also acts as if the progress bar you scrub though is at the edge of the screen too. I can't figure out why it's doing this. There's nothing in the code to tell it to do as such.

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 10 second Intro video that I would like to play before each main video plays. The videos are streaming through FMS 3.5. At the moment I have to attach the intro to the start of the main videos and render out in Premiere Pro CS5 Ideally I would like to set it up so that the intro starts for the 10 seconds and then auto switches to the manin video. To show an example of what I need to do here is a link to an Archery site ( I also do archery as a hobby and noticed this)[URL] If you click on any of the 8 parts for either day 1 or Day two, you will notice a couple the 5 second intro screens and it then automatically goes back to 0 to start the main video.

I have created animated presentations (since now, I have just videos) for my seminars at the university with cinema 4D and I added some effects with After Effects (CS5). Now, I want to build an interactive presentation. That means:
- The (video projector) presentation starts with a video in a loop.
- When I click a button on the mouse/keyboard, the video finishes the loop until the end and
- show a transition video and
- start the next loop and so on...

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback. I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large? Some vitals: I'm using Flash Pro CS5 - To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file) - Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

im currently creating a page that contains a number of movie clips where when the mouse goes over the movie clips, the mc (which is a photo) enlarges on the screen.
Currently when I click a second mc the first mc is still visible and if the second photo is on a layer above the first photo then it's enlarged image is in front of the first enlarged image. (does that make sense?)Current script is (without any actions to hide the images as they didn't work):
//mcBarbara
mcBarbara.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, playMovie1);
function playMovie1(evt:MouseEvent):void

I have a flash game that I have videos between some, but not all questions.I would like to have background music that would play during the questions then mute, or turn off when the video is played, then turn back on when video is completed.If possible, but not required, a mute button could be created that would mute the music and would overide it turning back on as well.In other words the person takes the quiz, when the video plays it shuts off the music and starts it back up when video ends. And if possible, if they select to mute the music before the video plays it will not restart after the video completes.I did this in actionscript 2. The questions are on frames 1-50, the videos are on frames 100-110.I have it set up when a question is answered it goes to the video then back to the next frame for questions when it completes.

I have produced an app for iOS but when it loads the music from the iPhone doesn't stop.
I have read on forums that if an app contains sounds that the iPod will fade out but it doesn't for me. I have tried loading the sounds dynamically (these sounds don't play at all if the iPod is playing) and embedding them into the movie. Nothing seems to work sadly. I have ensured that I have all the recent updates for flash and the air packager and I can't find a solution to this anywhere.

I've created a small mp3player which is to be used twice on one page (eg. songA.swf and songB.swf). Both are based off the one .fla file and use exactly the same code. My client has requested that only one player function at a time, so that if a user is listening to song A and then starts playing song B without pausing song A, song A will stop playing and reset, and vice versa.
I've been scouring the web for the past few days looking for an AS3 solution but I haven't found anything I've been able to successfully apply, as I'm really quite new to AS3 and only a basic background in javascript has helped me get this far. Attached is a zip folder containing .fla's and an html page as an example of how it will be used on the client's site. And a link to a live example page included in the zip file: [URL] Other notes ummm... I'm using swfobject to display the swfs, and currently they display across the top browsers.

I have a movie with 3 scenes, the last one has only just one statement on the timeline:_root.stop(), and there are not library objects neither ones created by code. Just and empty stage with the statement I told.I know I am not an expert in Flash yet, the entire design of code in timeline and movieclips are not very clear and tidy.When the movie reaches the scene three, it stays one or two seconds (not the same amount of time in each playing) and replay from scene one and the things become chaotics from there. I revisited one and two times the code and objects from movie explorer tool and can't figure out what demon makes re-start the movie when it must stop in the last scene

I'm trying to debug my as3 game, but no way, the debugger starts (with the different debug panels) but doesn't stop at any of the breakpoints so i created an empty as3 file (.fla) and put some simple code:
[Code]...
I put a breakpoint at line 2when i press Ctrl-Shift-Enter Or Debug>Debug Movie, it traces "Hello" 2 times without stopping when i right click on the new flash player window that opens, it shows DEBUG on the menu (not grayed), and i think that it means it's the flash player debug version that is running I'm running on Vista and I tried reinstalling Flash without success, but i've got another PC with windows XP and it works well on it,
Are there any restrictions on Vista or maybe services that should be started, or anything that should be activated / deactivated?

I am very new to Flash CS4, however I was able to create a preloader with help from a Dan Carr tutorial.Here is my source
import fl.video.*;import fl.controls.ProgressBarMode;
// Set Variablesvar flvControl = display;var flvSource = "op.flv";[code]....
The movie loads and plays but the preloader only loads part of the way. How would I go about having the preloader progress bar load all the way then have the movie start?

I have a flvplayback component on my stage at the end of my presentation that plays a .flv with an external .xml file for captions (using the flvplaybackcaptioning component targeted to my flv player). When the video begins to play, the captions automatically appear over the video. Is there a way to make it so the video begins to play without the captions automatically turned on?

On a page with an embedded Flash video (from YouTube in an <iframe/>), is it possible to be notified through JavaScript when the user starts or stops playing a video?
As far as I know, events raised on Flash level are not propagated to the container page, so it is not possible to do that.

I got my video Netstream playing just the way I want it. When I rollOver a certain area, I start my video and when I rollOut I close it. My problem is that, when i've started it once and done a rollOut and afterwards do a rollOver again, I get a little glitch of sound whenever the video starts. It seems that I need to empty/flush my netstream? Looked at NetStream.Buffer.Flush, but not sure how to use it.

I am using the video component with AS3. I have an external flv which loads nicely...that's fine. Now I am looking for a way to remove a preloader animation once the video starts streaming. The preloader is just an animation without a status (percent) bar. In plain English the code would be: if flv file is streaming, fade preloader animation I am also noticing that the first frame of the video shows while it's loading...is there a way to change it so that nothing is seen until streaming? If worst comes to worst I can always make a mask.
