Flash :: Use FLVPlayback Class To Play An Instance Of Video?
Nov 18, 2010
Is it possible to use the FLVPlayback class to play an instance of the Video class? I'm loading the video (which is just an audio track with cue points) in using GreenSocks LoaderMax (along with the rest of my assets) and so have various instances of Video. The FLVPlayback class only accepts a String as its' source. Is there any way to hack it to bypass whatever loading it does and just feed it the video directly?
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. In that frame is a flash movie that contains the video that I have embedded onto the timeline for the movie. The filesize for this project is massive and I am struggling to work on the file. I want to be able to play the video files with the playback component in each of the frames where the video was.
I have attached a video on a frame of my website in Flash. When I preview the movie the film plays as it should.But when I export the Fla. as a Swf. file it then doesn't have the movie there anymore?It does show this error:
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'FLVPlayback' was already assigned to the symbol 'Video/FLVPlayback', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
i'm trying to embed h264 mp4 video into website using flash cs3 professional. when i select the source file it's looking for .flv files and not the mp4 file so the mp4's are greyed out.i read a great tutorial using a pc which shows the workaround for being able to see the mp4 files.url...I'm however using a mac and this method of putting an * in the file name box doesn't work on mac.
I am working with Playing FLVPlayBack Video. i was wondering about best practice to use buffer time and how exactly buffer behaves while video is in play, pause and stop states. If i set my FLVPlayBack instance buffer time to 30 sec, Is it contiguously keep 30 secs video in buffer. for e.g if video is on 15 sec , then it will be having upto 45 sec stream in buffer, for 25 it will have 55 sec stream , for 1.10 it have 1.40 sec stream and so on.? do it behave same as of in play, in pause and stop states . and if behaves diff. then what is the diff.
My Challenge is this...To feed up to 5 video references (filepaths) into the SWF which contains the FLVPlayBack component, and have these play in sequence automatically.
Once the first video ends, the next begins...Currently our FLV player takes 1 filepath passed by FlashVars and play it.
First things first... I just want to get the function of having one .flv file play after the first has finsihed... do I need some kind of listener?
i am creating a package, MainTimeLine.as, to extend my main timeline. i use the FLVPlayback component under the package. however, i get the compile error:
1172: Definition fl.video:FLVPlayback could not be found. so i added the "import fl.video.FLVPlayback;" line to my MainTimeLine.as file, but flash gives the above error. now i had this problem when i added this code directly under a frame of the main timeline until i added a FLVPlayback instance to my library. now, i am trying to simply embed all of the code under the MainTimeLine.as file and have the as file encapsulate all of it. but, i still get that error.
so, how do i get flash cs4 to recognize and use the import properly
I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
I placed a movie clip instance inside a button, and I want this movie clip to play when the button is released. I'm using this code on the frame containing the button:
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent) { this.theButton.theMC.gotoAndPlay(3);
I have a base class which is being created via remote_object [RemoteClass alias] from the server.I have other specialized classes that are derived from this baseclass, but serialization with the server always happens with the base class.The base class has meta data that defines what the derived class is, for example
[RemoteClass (alias="com.myco...')] public Class Base {
I have to admit I pretty much ran away from Flash when AS2 came along and only used it for animation purposes over the last 5 years.So I'm having a major crash course in AS3 in Flash CS3 and I'm not enjoying it one bit. I'm getting maybe 10mins of finished work per hour as I try to figure out the limits and rules of AS3. Quite often it seems that AS3 simply can't do what I want it to. Anyway: Characterchecks.as is the main class and it loads a bunch of XML into four arrays. The file starts like this:[code]If I trace the value of, say, cc._Categories from the main FLA, it's empty. I'm guessing that the next line of AS in the main FLA doesn't wait for the previously called function to complete? (This may tie in to my next problem)My next step is that I want to display various things based on the data in the array. I have another class, Display.as which will hold all the functions to create the items on display. I thought it would be best for these to be a separate object. I wonder if I'm right?
So I declare an instance of Characterchecks in the main FLA and call it cc, and then run the functions to populate the arrays... Now I create an instance of Display and call it cd. How can I get functions in cd to see the values of the variables in cc? And if the main timeline can't tell that the functions aren't finished filling the arrays, how is cd supposed to know?I might be asking dumb questions, or maybe I'm doing things ***-backwards, I don't know. I'd appreciate any help, I really would. This whole thing has me at the end of my tether... being the most technically advanced person in my circle of co-workers and web design friends means I have no-one to explain why things need to be done a certain way or what the best way is.
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.
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..
Ive start to use the new FileReference class (FP 10) and I create a local image viewer with a loader and bitmap. But now I want to take it one step further and make a local FLV Player. I need a SWF file, so for that reason Im not using AIR.What class should I use to play the video? This is part of the code I use for the image viewer.
Creating a simple video for embedding by importing a video into flash creates a separate swf for the controls. Is there a way to have the controls embedded in the main SWF, so you don't have to worry about paths to the control swf?
I'm creating a little game - The player controls a character that follows the mouse. Pigs run away from the player, and the player has to get them all into a pen. To make the game a little more difficult I'm trying to add an enemy - wolves, that attempt to perform a 'hunt' method every x seconds. This method sends a reference of the wolf instance to Main (my document class) and Main then loops through the pigs on stage to see if there's any nearby. Now as far as I know this works - my problem is I'm unsure how to send the pig instance reference back to the wolf that called the hunt method, so it can then 'target' the pig, and then attempt to pounce on it.
Is there a way to generate an instance of a class that implements an interface based on the name of the class?
I am trying:
var ClassReference:Object = getDefinitionByName("movement.OuterSpaceMovement") as IMovement; var m:IMovement = new ClassReference as IMovement; trace("startup..." + m);
-But I am getting an error message ReferenceError: Error #1065 (OuterSpaceMovement) not defined.
I have several classes that implement the same interface (IMovement) but I need to be able to generate new instances of these classes and then pass these instances as a datatype (IMovement datatype) to other classes...
So then I tried:
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName("OuterSpaceMovement") as Class; var m:IMovement = new ClassReference() as IMovement; and this doesn't seem to work...but the following var m:IMovement = new OuterSpaceMovement();
I want to utilize the FLVPlayback component so I don't have to create my own skins and the documentation says the FLVPlayback class "wraps" the VideoPlayer class and ALL the methods/props available in the VideoPlayer class are available to the FLVPlayback class, BUT I notice the FLVPlayback class doesn't inherit or subclass the VideoPlayer class and some of the methods/props for the VideoPlayer class generate errors when utilized by the FLVPlayback class.
In short, I want to take a NetStream instance that has the stream I want to utilize and force that on the FLVPlayback instance. I can get it to work with the VideoPlayer instance BUT NOT the FLVPlayback instance. I don't want to set the FLVPlayback instance's "source" property with a string as the documentation suggests, I want to do something like:
Code: flvPlaybackComp.attachNetStream(stream); how can I accomplish this? I've seen the "getVideoPlayer" method on the FLVPlayback class and thought that might be a "round about" way of controlling the underlying VideoPlayer instance, but haven't gotten that to work properly.
I have a site on which I need to have multiple videos.
The way I have it set up is that there are two frames, one for each video, each with an instance of FLVPlayback on it. For some reason, only the last one that I designate will work.
I have tried the following:
-Importing both videos separately onto their frames
-Copying an instance of FLVPlayback from the working frame and pasting it on the other, only changing the variable that tells it where to get the FLV from
Yes, the videos are both linking to the right place, in the FLA I can see that each parameter points to the correct video, but whichever one I do last is the only one that will work. The other video won't even come up with a dead player, the screen is simply blank. No visible instance of the FLVPlayback box, no sign of the control (I am using ClearExternalAll).
Quick question. I have been Googling this all morning, but it's either not there, or else written in a way that doesn't register. I am inclined to believe the latter, as this seems like it should be something completely trivial to me. I made a small Flash file using AS 3.0, and this is the first time I've really been able to stick to the OOP way of doing things and not hack together a mix of stuff from the timeline to get around not having everything work in the classes.
So I'd like to keep it that way, but one thing is eluding me: I can't call a method of an instance of another class (than the one I'm calling from) without resorting to "DocumentClass(root).instanceName.method." Intuition tells me there has to be a better way of doing this (like, without having to reference the document class every time I call another class instance's function; and CERTAINLY without having to use the word "root" - that just seems so Flash 5 to me. Does anybody have a better way of doing this that they can share?
i want to know if it is possible to play a video via flash player, when the video is located on different server's mysql. for example: i want to play video on [URL] which(video) is located in [URL] mysql
I'm trying to use FlashVars to pass a FLV path from html a FLVPlayback instance. I get how this is supposed to work, but I can't find any good documentation on the needed ActionScript. The closest thing I could find was a discussion about a script that looked something like this:
I was wondering how I can delay (2 seconds) a video to play in a Flash Video Player? I know one way is for me to add blank frames but I would like to know some other options.
I have created my first flash video and wish to allow the visitors to play the movie themselves instead of having the movie play automatically also have a stop or pause button too.
I want to play smooth streaming video from IIS using the flash video player like e.g. jw flash player instead of silverlight player?Which video format should I use in this case? Can flash then play e.g a video via smooth streming encoded with microsoft encoder?Do you know some alternative video players, that combines flash and silverlight functionality (selected per java script) to use with flash and silverlight?
I'll start by saying that I'm in the process of learning actionscript. That said, I'm wanting to play two videos with actionscript. I went through a tutorial and using a pre-built flash player I used the following script
[Code]....
Which worked fine. That said, that was just a test. We are wanting to use the F4 Player. I opened up the player and looked at the actionscript (which is below). I had some trouble, so I posted on here and this was my response..
