I noticed many players display audio track duration before loading the sound file, but I cannot figure out how that is done. So how can I get the duration of an mp3 file in Flex without having to load the file in a Sound object ? Think about loading 1000+ files in an application that has to immediately display the duration for each track.
View 2 Repliesis it possible to make the duration of a movieclip equal the duration of the preloader, i mean is it possible to make something like, the time the preloader needs to reach the 100% = the duration of the movieclip? i'm using AS 3.0 and flash CS4 just in case it helps here is my code for the loader:
Code:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;

Is it possible using command line, or a php file to get the duration of an flv file using the flash media server. I used the flvcheck file to fix the meta data, and was using the duration operator but it didn't come up with anything. I am guessing the duration operator just shows if there is errors with this?
View 1 Replies1. Is there a method of determining the length of a sound file (mp3 primarily); in bytes, elapsed time, before the file is played? (the file could be played against a stop watch and the elapsed time record after the fact, programmatically).
2. Is it possible to set markers and fast forward/rewind to markers corresponding to the file?What I am thinking of is a feature allowing the user to play a file to a point and pause, set a marker, rewind and play to the marker and stop, or fast forward from the beginning and play from the marker, or even play past the marker and rewind to the marker.
Setting a marker would be the easy part: just record the elapsed time when the pause function is called.Getting the sound file to start playing from that point without the previous part played at normal speed;(with volume off) is the essential part of this question.
I am using Flash Media Server 3 hosted by Influxis.I use to upload flash videos (flv) to view from our company website, which uses Flowplayer.I got a new video which is F4V, but this video is little wierd, It plays well but the duration shows as 3:00:00 (3 hours) which is actually 11minutes 30 seconds.

On Linux, YouTube places temporary flash files in /tmp. Nautilus can display the duration (Minutes:Seconds) of them, but I haven't found a way to extract the duration using python.'

LI am making a custom video player with FLVPlay back controlls. I am using custom progress bar. I am using "MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED" to get the duration of the uploaded flv file.

View 1 RepliesI have a mp3 file and I would like to play it from one position and for a certain duration. I have first used the Sound class, the play method where I can specify the start but not the duration. I have looked then at SoundEffect class where you can specify a duration and a startTime. However I do not know how to play it from a AS3 class not from MXML : there is a play method ... but I get no sound!
View 2 RepliesI've developed a neat WindowSWF panel after watching Lee's demonstration video. I got everything I needed to work, but I'm having trouble getting information from my sound files. Basically I have a list of sound objects (.wav format) in my library and I want to find the duration of each file so that I can add them to existing movie clips, then add or remove frames depending on the length of the sound file on the frame. I've been pouring over the jsfl actions libraries and can't find any method to get the duration of a selected sound file.
View 2 RepliesWhen I'm building an composite animation, I'd like to specify the components as fractions of the parent, like so:
<s:Sequence id="example" duration="2000">
<s:Fade alphaFrom="0" alphaTo="1" duration="10%"/> <!-- not legal -->
<s:Scale scaleXTo="2" scaleYTo="2"/>

Is there a more declarative way to accomplish this? In the latter case, for instance, can I at least replace the variable slideTime with a direct reference to the parent's duration?
I need to highlight a button's border, so I have created a glow filter like this:
<s:GlowFilter id="GlowFilter1"

/>
The problem is that I don't know to remove the effect. The effect remains in the opction as it was highlighted. Thus, I'd like to set a duration, or something that removes the effect I create.

View 3 RepliesMy project is about a video player who read an xml list, but I have to play FLV video from an exact point, so I'm using xmoov-php, and it works perfectly. My problem is that I have to calculate this point from the total duration of the xml list (the sum of every FLV duration it cointains)... so I have to get the duration of every FLV in the list.
I know I can use onMetaData for get the duration, but I need it of ALL the video in the list, and it works only if I play the single video, don't it? And I cannot play every video in the list for obtain it... I also tried to put the play() function in a for-cicle, but it doesn't work: it gets me the duration of only the last video in the list cause is the last element the for-cicle passed trought.
Is there another method for get the duration without have the FLV to play?

I have a project that requires a rollover. When the object is rolled over, a quote animates (fades in). On roll out, it fades out. The easy way would be to do it on the timeline, but if the roll over isn't long enough for the animation (fade in) the roll out starts at 100% alpha then down to 0%.
how to expand the animation for 3 more quotes.
