[F8] As 2.0 Video Autostart
Hello,
I have embedded a video in flash, and I do not want it to automatically start playing when the swf file loads. I want the rest of the movie to play though. Is there a way to do this ?
best,
Aaron

Autostart Help
Hello all. I've been trying to learn more about sound and flash lately and have an existing mp3 player that I need help with.
I've built my own simple mp3 player so far, but this one is a bit more complicated and I'm stuck on one thing...
What needs to be added/changed so that this player will not autostart?
I have tried changing this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,true) to this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,false) but it still autostarts.
I'm still a newbie when it comes to Flash and I've tried searching on this topic for something that will answer my questions for this particular player, but no luck.
So, any help is greatly appreciated. Source code is below.
Thanks,
Opusmx

Mac Autostart With Application
hi there,
my problem is to create an autorun for a cd-rom which
starts a html file with a browser.
autorun itself is working fine, unless u use os X. I think
they just skipped it, so it will work only on os 9 or earlier.
well, if i e.g. create a html file with dreamweaver, autrun will
open the html file NOT in a browser BUT in dreamweaver.
the windows autorun for the same thing works fine, if u use stuff
like runfile.exe in addition.
so does any1 have a clue, how to solve this or if there's a similar
utility for mac??
as usual every help appreciated

Loadmovie Must NOT Autostart. How To Do This?
Hello :-)
Maybe one of u knows the answer to this problem.
I have a swf, lets name it swf1. In swf1 a movieclip is playing. During the playing of swf1(the user is watching the movie) I load a second swf (lets name it swf2) with the ‘loadmovie’ action. I only want to do this because on the next page of my website swf2 is needed. So by ‘preloading’ it, it’s already in the browsers cache and the user doesn’t have to wait for swf2 to download when he surfs on. Now the problem. Swf2 is a movie clip with video and sound. When swf1 is playing and swf2 is fully loaded, swf2 begins playing to. I know this is the normal behaviour of AS and the loadmovie command. The result is that swf1 and swf2 are playing over each other. That’s not what I want.
1. Is it possible to give a loadmovie command the option NOT to start playing when it is loaded? When yes, how to do this?
2. If 1 is not possible, can i mute the sound of a loaded movie?
3. If 1 and 2 are not possible, are there other ways to ‘preload’ swf’s in the background (without playing them) for later use on the website?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Disable Autostart
This is probably one of those things that is so simple and staring me in the face that I just don't see it however,
How do you disable the autostart on a flash clip? We are placing a flash clip on a website and want to have the flash clip default autostart setting set to disabled so that users who are not interested in the clip are not forced to listen to it against their will, while users who are interested can simply select the play button.
(Using Macromedia Flash Professional 8)
Thanks.

Can't Turn Off Autostart
I'm using MX 2004 Pro.
I've created an .flv file from a QuickTime movie, audio only.
When I created the .fla and .swf, I UNCHECKED "Automatically Play" in the Media Playback Window of the Component Inspector - but the audio ALWAYS starts playing when the page loads, even though the controller says, "Paused."
I've tried all of these parameters in the code on the HTML page, to no avail:
<param name="play" value="false" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
What's going on here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,

Autostart On Flash Movies?
I have made a flash movie and it works fine when i test it as I'm making it, but when I upload it to the server and view it on the webpage, the movie doesn't start automatically, I have to right click it then hit play. Is there something that I did wrong when I made the movie. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Flash Buttons Don't Autostart
Sorry if the question doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm really really new to Flash.
I'm using IE 6 and 7 (2 different pc's) to test on.
If I view a swf file that has animation it starts as soon as the page loads however, if I load a swf with a button on it (like one with a hover effect) I can not get it to start unless I click on the control first and then hover over it.
When I hover over the button the tooltip says, "Click to activate and use this control"
So I have to click on the control and then it works, but animations do not require this action. They start up as soon as the page loads.
Is there a setting or something in IE or in flash itself that I should have enabled to allow the buttons or menu to autostart as soon as the page loads?
Thanks, and again sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Autostart Issue-flv Player
I got this FLV player(click to download the source) and i ain't no genius in flash that's why I'll post this here if you please.
My problem is that the autostart won't work and i have no idea how to solve this problem.
I remember i tried, months ago, to put the code autostart=1 or true on the html code but that wasn't helpful at all so i guess there is something to do with the AS script to make this work
I know that the xml playlist is correct and there is nothing to change about it
Well,I hope ill get some help.

Script To Make Projector Autostart On Mac?
I was wondering if there was a script that would make a projector auto start from a mac platform. As in, the user inserts the CD into their computer, and the flash movie automatically launches and plays. (not in a browser window, just through the projector)
I've had no trouble finding the script for a PC, just haven't had the same luck for the mac.

[CS3] Media Player Component No Autostart
Okay,
I'm going insane here - I have checked the option on the component (on the stage) to not autostart - yet it autostarts the download anyways (it is set to false in the HTML as well). Driving me crazy here. Anyways, what I want is like an embedded You Tube movie, it places an icon over the start image and once the user clicks it then it starts the stream.
If I need to use Actionscript please inform me of where to place it (on the button, on the frame, etc), also of what form of AS to use. Thanks for the help.

Query - Audio Track Autostart
Hi there,
A quick question, I am using an audio track for a website.
A movie clip sits on the main timeline and is linked a .wav file.
The movie clip contains a button in frame 1 that uses the following code to start the audio playing:
on (release) {
s.start(0,100);
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
Frame 1 actions has the following code:
s = new Sound(this);
s.attachSound("mySound");
s.setVolume(100);
It works perfectly, but takes a user clicking the button to start the track.
I want it to auststart. Using an OnClipEvent to start the audio makes a huge mess! Any ideas?

1. Have the slideshow start automatically
2. Have music play automatically

Can someone help me? As Sargent Shultz said, "I know nothing, nothing!"

Music Loop Autostart Problem
Hi.
I created a player in Flash MX that loops an external MP3. However, this looping only starts playing automatically in Flash Mx test environment. When I put the SWF in the browser the music loop does not start automatically; I have to press my play button to get it started. Here's the actions frame.
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("sample.mp3");
myMusic.start(0, 0);
myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
myMusic.start(.1, 0);
};
Any help is much appreciated.

Scrolling Image Autostart? Code Included...Please Help
I am trying to make an image scroll from top to bottom. As ur mouse goes over it, you can scroll it back up or down. It stops at the top and bottom. But I can't get it to have a default scrolling speed and direction for when there is no mouse on it. Here is the code I have on the movie clip! Thanks!
onClipEvent (load)
{
ycenter=150;
speed=1/30;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 800) _y=800;
if (_y < -535) _y=-535;
}
The if statements stop it at the top and bottom. I still need those to work after we get it to start scrolling. I need it to act as if the mouse is already at the top of the .swf file. Thank you!

XML Image & Video-playing Gallery Issue. Video Doesn't Hide When Online.
Hi guys,
I've created a gallery using kirupa's tutorial that loads in, through xml, both images and streaming video swfs.
here's the link (then click on 'Real Art', then on 'Roster' in the menu):
http://www.studiotonne.com/tira/
All links (xml and content links in the xml) are pointing to an online server, so it should work offline in the same way it does online.
So offline, it all works fine and browsing through the gallery in the Roster for each artist, selecting each number in the gallery closes the current image/video and displays the new one, as it should.
Online however, the issue is different. For instance, clicking on 'Build', then on number 5 in the gallery (which is a streaming video embedded in a swf pulled in via xml), it streams in the required video. However, upon trying to select a different picture in the gallery, or choosing to view the gallery of a different artist, the video doesn't want to disappear and allow other images to be seen, as it does when viewed offline.
I'm sure its quite a simple thing to make the streaming video swf that the xml loads in, to disappear. I just don't understand why it works properly offline, whereas online, the video issue occurs.
Could it be a netConnection or netStream issue?
Here is the code for the build gallery in the roster:
Code:
stop();
function loadXML(loaded) {
trace("XML loading...");
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
displayPages();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("clientupdates/build/xml/build.xml");
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
/*
if(blnPreview) {
previous_btn._visible = false;
next_btn._visible = false;
} else {
previous_btn._visible = true;
next_btn._visible = true;
}
*/
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
}
}
};
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
}
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
function firstImage() {
trace("firstImage");
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
// Only show the artwork data unless we're not in preview mode
//if(!blnPreview) {
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
//}
}
}
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
trace("Pic num:" + current_pos);
}
function displayPages() {
for(var i=1;i <=12; i++) {
if(i <= total) {
this["PageMC" + i].pgNum.text = "a";
this["PageMC" + i]._visible = true;
} else {
this["PageMC" + i]._visible = false;
}
}
}
function setPage(pageNum) {
if(pageNum>=0 && pageNum <total) {

picture.loadMovie(image[pageNum], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[pageNum];
picture_num();
}
}
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
Thanks for reading guys. I hope you can help.

Video Stops And Audio Continues - Individual Scenes Work, Together Video Freezes
This is my first flash project ever, but I think I got a handle on layers, scenes, using streamed audio, etc. The sync works for every scene when tested independently. Those exported .swf run fine. But when I try to publish the entire movie as a .swf or .exe or any other format, it always freezes at a certain point. The video stops but the audio continues.
Can anyone help me or give me an idea of where to start diagnosing the issue?
I've resorted to converting each individual .swf into .avis then combining the segments into the video that I want, but, of course, this doesn't retain the size, scalability, and quality benefits of a .swf file. Please help!

Flash Video Gallery €“ Link To Specific Video Upon Launch
I saw this question asked before when first doing a search on this topic, but have yet to see any replies, let alone any that work.
How can I link from within a web page to a specific video that is contained within a modified version of Adobe's Flash video Gallery tutorial?
When a user clicks on a link that says "View Dr. Jones Lecture", I want the Flash Video Gallery to launch with Dr. Jones' video loading and playing immediately. As it stands now, the video player just wants to wait until someone locates and then clicks on the video of their choice WITHIN the video player itself. That is fine if a generic "Launch our Video Gallery" link is clicked, but not if the user is expecting a specific video to play.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers!

Embedded Video Object In Video Basics - Part 1 Tutorial
I am a total newbie at Flash, so please bear with me. In Lee's Video Basics - Part 1 tutorial, one of the first steps is to create a Embedded Video object in the library. Flash Professional MX 2004 is being used in the tutorial and I am using Flash Professional 8, so maybe that is the reason I'm having a problem. The tutorial shows that by clicking "New Video" in the library panel, the embedded video object is automatically added to the library. When I click "New Video", I get a Video Properties dialogue box that defaults to "Video (ActionScript-controlled)". When I check the Embedded option, the OK button becomes disabled...only Cancel and Import are enabled. Clicking the Import button gives me an open dialogue box for a *.flv file. I'm not sure what to do here. Am I supposed to select the .flv file that I am going to use? I was under the impression that the tutorial was creating a generic object that I would be able to reuse whereas selecting a .flv file would make it specific to what I'm working on now. Can someone that is using Flash Professional 8 clarify what I should do?
Thanks,
Pat
Wanna Run A Video In MX? I Have A COOL Video Component If Anyone Is Interested?
http://www.studioxmedia.com/video_component.swf
http://www.studioxmedia.com/video_component.fla
I got this from a posting by someone else. I'm not sure even how to create a component, but the component works like a charm and looks like the Quicktime (start,volume, play, pause) handler.
Thought I'd share it.

Making A Presentation/commercial/training Video...(using Video)
Hail everyone...
I wanted to know what best to use if I wanted to make the above mentioned (in the topic subject)...
Seeing as tv res is 350x200 (or somesuch) the res won't be a problem (using DV cam), but as soon as I import the movie in flash, it pixalates BADLY (no quality for use in a TV commercial)...
What is the best format & encoding to use for this...
Or is there an app that can import layers from flash...
Because I need intricate shapes over my movie (playing as part of background, or only displayed half way across the screen)
I have to whip out a miracle with limited resources & I need some help please
Thanks before hand...
Unable To Scroll Video Until Video Plays In Entirety
Hi all.
I'm making a simple flash file to play a flv off a server. I'm using a flash skin with seekbar but the scroll triangle on the seek bar doesnt show up until the movie has played in its entirety. I would like to have it show up as soon as the movie starts playing.
Here's the steps I did using Flash Professional 8 on a Mac
import video (set the url path)
custom skin URL (typed in path) to SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf
My component inspector looks like this
autoplay - true
autorewind - true
autosize - true
buffertime - 0.1
contentpath - the url of the file
cuepoints - none
islive - false
maintainaspectr - true
skin - url of the skin
skinautohide - true
totaltime - 0
volume - 100
so what do I have to do to make the ability to scroll the video once the video starts?
I've tried this with numerous skins and all have the same results
TIA

Play Diffrent Video Infront Of Bigger Video
Hey guys, and many thanks to all the gurus for taking the time to help us none gurus out.
I'm using Flash CS3 with AS3, and using .swf to stream .flv
Here is want i would like to do:
I have some video clips that i am playing in a .swf (MAIN.swf)(i am doing this via streaming .flv) and its working fine. What i would like to is have a shorter video (SMALL.swf)(which will also be a .swf via .flv) play before the MAIN.swf, and i want to rotate or change the SMALL.swf every 3 times the SMALL.swf gets played and keep the MAIN.swf constant. With a cycle of about 3 diffrent SMALL.swf's going down a list SMALL1.swf, SMALL2.swf, etc. I would, if it is an all-in-one .swf, to have a preloader. Kinda like this:
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL1.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL1.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL1.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL2.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL2.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL2.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL3.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
etc.....
I'm pretty sure you have to store a varible somewhere, somehow to keep up with the loads.
I'm not sure where to begin with this, Im not the best at AS...so any code you can give me would be awesome. Thanks
