Flash :: Cannot Play Flv File

Add Skin And Buttons (play, Stop, Etc) To Play A Swf File
Hello Forum,

Is there a way to use a skin/buttons just like the FLVPlayer that will give the same control to a movie clip (aka SWF file)?

I have a few swf files that are movie clips - not video. I would like to be able to load the movie clip, and be able to start, stop, pause, mute audio just like the FLVPlayer component does, but for a swf file.

I would like to have a "component" with the buttons, etc and be able to load the movie clip using the loadMovie method, and play the movie clip. I have a clip that starts playing after I load it, but would like to load it, and have it stopped, and then play the clip using buttons, etc.

I do not want to add buttons to each of my swf files, but have one movie clip with buttons, and load a swf into it.

Any tips will help,

thanks,

Fms Ns.play(file, -2) Vs Ns.play(stream, -2)
Hi,

I have a very strange problem.

I have created an application on fms. on the streams/_definst_/instance directory there is a sample flv file with name file.flv

If i have a client doing ns.play(file,-2) everything is fine. The file is delivered (streaming) nicely.

If i have the below:

Client::: ns.play(stream, -2);

Server-side: (Stream.get("stream")).play(file, -2);

The file is delivered, but it doesnt playback/flow properly. It seems like breaking(stacks) on some points and then continue.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you vrey much!

SWF File That Points To FLV File Won't Play
Hello,

I'm thinking there's got to be something on the server side configuration that's preventing this ...

Do you have any idea why is this happening? I have these two identical cfm files that point
to a flash swf file on site # 1 and site # 2. The Flash movie plays within DreamWeaver,
it plays locally on my pc testing server and it plays on Web site #2 but not on site #1.

Recreated everything again, checked the paths even launched the swf files before uploading them and it all worked.
Once they're on the production server, the swf won't load the external Flash *.flv file. I checked the permissions of
the files and directory through a DosBox and everything look fine. Oh and I've got the latest Flash plugin installed.

I'm stumped!

Help My .mov File Won't Play

How To Play A .FLV File
Yes, this is the most basic of all questions. I have a file called get_video.flv Double-clicking does not help - Windows does not know what program is associated with it. I tried to associate it with a player, but there is no Flash player that I can see listed there.

I know I have flash, because it recently (today) asked me if I wanted to update to the latest version. Also, I can view flash on any site that I go to.

Thanx,
AG

Play Includes Txt File?
Hi all.

I'll try to make it short and quick so you can understand my question - so lets go

My problem is: I'm working on a banner for at site, and in that bannere there have to be some text... More or less, is up to them, but they have absolutly No understanding on Flash what so ever, så there the text have to be from a txt file so they only need to edit that to ad some new text.

I have a text area on my banner (About middle) where the text have to be, but it can't be there everything at once, so it have to "slide" out and "slide" in...

I know how to ad a txt file with varibles like this:
LoadVariables("filename.txt", "_root");
But when i do that, it will include Everything in that text file, and as said; that's not what i want...

Some kind of delay, so:
text1 is sliding in
text1 (standing in about 2-3 secs)
> text1 is sliding out
text2 is sliding in
text2 (standing in about 2-3 secs)
> text2 is sliding out
I hope you understand me and my question.

I've tryed to downloade some movies from here, with that feature, but i can't crack that code and put it in my banner...

I really really hope that you can help me with this, because it's a bit importen that I put that feature in :-)

Thanks - Public2.

Getting A Sound File To Play
Hi guys,

I'm trying to get a sound to play in flash, but i seem to have a problem, that whenever i click on e btn to play the sound more than one time, the sound overloops the sound it was playin before, so it is quite "messy" the sound as one plays over the other at the same time.

I heard that my problem is that i didnt declare a var to chk if it playing any sound before that. But i do not know hw to go about doing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Getting An Swf To Play Within Another Flash File
I am trying to get a small swf to play within another larger project I am working on.

Its just a simple 25 frame animation with an object fading in and out but it needs to be in the background for the entire animation so I thought the best way to do it would be to export it as a separate swf and then place it into my larger project.

The problem is although its in my library and on my timeline it just doesn't actually play. Have I got to add some scripting to tell the frame to play the swf or something?

It's listed in the library as a 'movie clip' - I presume thats correct...

File Wont Play Outside Of .FLA
For some reason when I play my flash MX movie while editing in .fla with the controller, it plays perfectly... but when I publish or publish preview in any format, it doesnt play all the frames except the last, and even then, the text is missing. To simplify, here are some details quickly... I have some text moving into position for the first 35 frames all at different times, some simultaneously. On the 36th frame I produced another inserted another keyframe (not sure if thats wrong but still shouldnt prevent the beginning of the movie from playing right?) for all the texted that already moved into position and on the 36th frame for some reason, in the swf (will works perfectly in .fla) all the buttons and background graphics etc work properly, but the text that should have moved into position are as if they never existed from frame 1-36. What could be the problem? I know I got this working one time, and I am hoping its not just a corruption because I'd hate to do this all over again, starpped for time, thanks!

Is It Possible To Play An Flv File Backwards?
Hi all

is there any way to play an flv file backwards? Can be loaded at runtime, imported into library - whatever.

Thanks in advance

If File Exists, Then Play...
Hello all, thanks in advance for your help!

Imagine the following.

1.swf
2.swf
3.swf
4.swf

These are each separate movie files (duh!), random number of frames, each with different content.

I want to load each of these external files in-turn inside a 'master' swf file.

Now then - I won't always need to run ALL the files. I might just want to run 2.swf then 4.swf and leave out the others.

I'm fairly new to actionscript, have had some experience with ASP, but am currently working in PHP. I'm getting all my bloomin code confused, but I know EXACTLY what I want to do:

if file exists (1.swf) then {
count number of frames for 1.swf as frameno1
create mc = '1_mc'
this then needs to be ('frameno1') frames long
loadMovie("1.swf","1_mc");

}else{
move onto next bit of code
}

if file exists (2.swf) then {
count number of frames for 2.swf as frameno2
create mc = '2_mc'
this then needs to be ('frameno2') frames long
loadMovie("2.swf","2_mc");

}else{
move onto next bit of code
}

etc....

So, if the files exist, then play them sequentially. Otherwise skip.
Sounds easy - but it aint! (at least not for me).

Thanks again,

Rachael

MIDI File Won't Play
Hi,

I'm trying to play in Flash a random midi file. Here's the code I placed in the first frame of the movie:

ActionScript Code:
lowNumber = 1;
highNumber = 10;
var thisNumber = highNumber - lowNumber;
var randomUnrounded = Math.random() * thisNumber;
var randomNumber = Math.round(randomUnrounded);
randomNumber += lowNumber;
var song = "musicas/" + randomNumber + ".mid";
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound(song,true);
mySound.start();

It worked once, and no more.
What can be the problem? MX doesn't accept MIDI files? I made a mistake in the code?

Kind regards,

Kepler

How Do You Play A Swf File From The Desktop
I have created a swf file using flash. It can be downloaded onto the desktop. It is zipped. When unzipped it is called yadayada.swf. It does not get associated to the flash player or the shockwave flash player which are both installed. So if i double click on it it won't play.

What do I have to do to make it play from the desktop in its plain swf file format. I want people to be able to download it onto their desktop for both Mac and PC users. I published it as a projector .exe file but mac users cant run it.

What should be my next step?

I have installed Flash on my development box so this isnt an issue but it is for my test computer that doesnt have flash installed.

Sound Won't Play In .fla File
How can I get sound to play in .fla again like it did before actionscripting control buttons?

When I installed control buttons in my .fla file for a maintimeline movie to stop, start, rewind, and jump to end of movie, sound would no longer play when running the playhead in the .fla file. This is a disadvantage when it comes to trying to sync video to audio.

I have installed an additional layer in main timeline with same mp3 file attached, published settings, and even assigned actionscript play(); to sound layer and deleted sound layer with control buttons, but sound still won't play from .fla playhead
