Trying to learn some flash and got a question. How do I play a flv video, below code compiles correctly and load flash player but doesn't play anything
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
var ui:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
this.addChild( ui );
[Code]....
I'm trying to use the FLVPlayback class with Flashdevelop(ie - I am not using Flash CS3 and I don't have the privilege of dragging an FLVPlayback onto the stage). In the as3 language reference it says:
To access the properties, methods, and events of the FLVPlayback class, you must import the class to your application either by dragging the FLVPlayback component to the Stage in your Flash application, or by explicitly importing it in ActionScript using the import statement.
From the above it makes it sound like you can use FLVPlayback without having it in your Flash CS3 library...but I've done some reading and everyone is saying that it must be in your Flash CS3 library to use.
When I try and do this in Flashdevelop(simplified code):
Code:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
var video:FLVPlayback;
I get:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: FLVPlayback
I have 3 questions:
1. Is it possible to use FLVPlayback with pure actionscript? ie - can I just import the class with the import statement and use it without having to connect it in with some IDE like flash or flex?
2. fl.video.FLVPlayback is listed in the AS3 language reference...even if FLVPlayback isn't going to work without it being in my library - why do I get an error when I try to import fl.video.FLVPlayback? Why can't this class be found?
3. If I can only use FLVPlayback by adding it to the library, then are there any video player classes out there that are pure actionscript without this limitation?
I'm having trouble using the following tutorial and flashdevelop template to build a flash project for iOS.

is there a way to format/beautify actionscript (as3) in flashdevelop? if not are there easy ways to do this without using the Flash IDE.

View 2 RepliesFor developing Flash / ActionScript packages on Windows, there is no better free tool than FlashDevelop.Unfortunately, its reliance on the .Net framework make it ill-suited for AS3 development on Ubuntu. (My attempts to get it working with Mono failed - the installer wouldn't even work.)Is there a similar tool for use with Ubuntu?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a game in actionscript using the FlashDevelop tool and the FlashPunk game engine. I have a designer making movie clips for me to put into this game using Flash CS3.
My problem is that when I add these movie clips into my game they are playing much quicker than they should. Is there a specific frame rate clips need to be made in within CS3 or any other export options set to enable them to play at the correct speed or is this something that I need to deal with in my code.
EDIT
Another problem that I'm having is that the command movieClip.stop() doesn't work. Is there anything special that needs doing while exporting or the programming side?
EDIT
Here is how I'm loading in my swfs:
public var movieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
private var myLoader:Loader;
public function MyMovieClip(location:String)
{

Whenever I compile my project using FlashDevelop in 'Debug' the Flash Player window remains after I have clicked the 'Stop' button in Flash Develop. I have to then switch over to the flash player, click through any error messages and then close the player, which wastes a lot of time in the long run.Any way to make it so Flash Player closes when I click 'Stop' in the Flash Develop debug tools? EDIT: My setup is a fresh install of Windows 7, a new copy of Flash Develop 4 and Flash Player 10.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out why, when I create a movieclip in flashdevelop, said movieclip always ends up being null.Here is the code I'm trying to use:

I'm developing a website which will need to communicate with an AIR application, I develop with javascript and don't know much about actionscript. I'm at the early stages of this and I'm using a trial of Adobe Flash to create some swf files which can communicate with javascript, the code from the Action window is as follows (most of it is bastardised from web examples):
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
var myText:String = "Example String";
ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendOutput", sendStaticTextFromAS3);
function sendStaticTextFromAS3():void {
ExternalInterface.call("receiveTextFromAS3", myText);
}
All this is doing is receiving a call from javascript and sending back a string and calling the function which will deal with it (it will become more complex).
My problem is that Flash is going to expire soon, and to future proof the project without having to spend a lot on flash I want to move into FlashDevelop. As I don't need any objects on the stage all I need is to edit actionscript, so FlashDevelop is all I need. I create a new AS3 Project in FlashDevelop and I get given this code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code].....
I'm guessing Adobe Flash adds this automatically when compiling the swf so I have no idea where my code is supposed to go, except to add the import flash.external.ExternalInterface; at the top?

View 3 RepliesSomeone sent me a .fla file containing several art assets, with instances all configured to be displayed properly and in the right positions. However, since I'm using FlashDevelop with the Flex 4 SDK, I have no idea how to access these instances in code. Some of the objects are MovieClips that I need to modify the size of, and others are Dynamic Text objects that I need to change the display strings of at runtime.

I really don't know what that refers too.
I just installed flashdevelop and downloaded a sample project source at the bottom of this link. I open it up in flashdevelop and when I go to run it, I get an error saying I have to set the field: path to Flash IDE. I'm confused, why is the IDE asking me for the path to the IDE?

I have been programming with as3 for the past 4 months and Ive been getting rather good at it. I just recently decided to work with flashdevelop. I notice that there is alot of code that is availible in the flex sdk that isn't available in as3 with flash cs4. Like embedding of assets and such. I've been trying to find some up to date tutorials on how to embed things like xml and so far the tutorials are inaccurate or unclear about how to go about doing so. Ive been trying to find some good books that cover that and havnt been able to.
The books either cover as3 with flash or as and flex builder. Which is more towards working with the mxml. I havnt been able to find any books on how to work with as3 and flex sdk. Which show examples like embedding of xml and so on. I was just curious does anyone know of any good books that cover EVERYTHING there is to know about as3 and the flex sdk. Not so much on flex builder and mxml.
In a sense, I just want to get better with working with as3 projects with flashdevelop. And it would be great if there was books that covered that. Cause lets just face it, We developers sometimes just get sick of searching the web for bits of pieces of things. and its just great to have that one good book that references everything.

I have a little Flash 8 FLVPlayback-based video player, designed to read a list of video URLs (pointing to a demo version of FMS 3.5) from XML. The player works the first couple of times you select a video but then stops displaying anything when you select more videos. The seek bar seems to move but there is not picture or sound. You can see it here:

By the way, this script shows "External Interface is available" when I run it in my browser. Its only when I run it in Flash Player 10, that it is not available.
I've tried a few ways of import an swc I made in flash but i keep getting a transcoding error. The symbol is set to export for actionscript and its baseclass is Movieclip. What is the simplest way to do this

Alright, so I'm playing several different videos at different sizes with the FLVPlayback component and something odd is happening that I don't remember happening before...Now, when I switch from video to video, the FLVPlayback physically resizes to match the height of the video... I don't remember this happening before. Before, the FLVPlayback would just vertical center the video no matter what size the height of the video is.

In the IDE and AS2(which is what I usually work in), it was just simply:
Drag button onto the screen Convert it into a button symbol and then do this:
