Flash :: FLVPlayback Captioning

FLVPlayback Captioning Button - Someone HAS TO KNOW The Answer To This...
Hey all,

Someone HAS TO KNOW how to connect a customized captionButton. Here's what I did. From the Components panel, under Video, I dragged by PlayPauseButton, MuteButton, SeekBar, and also the CaptionButton. I also have an FLVPlayback and a FLVPlaybackCaptioning components on stage to. I go ahead and render this bad boy out and, all is good. I even got my Captions working the way I want to...

It's come time to move all my video player components into 1 movieclip, "navbar" so I can fade it in and out. I go ahead and reconnect all my buttons like so:

Code:
theVideo.playButton = navBar.playPause_mc.play_mc;
theVideo.pauseButton = navBar.playPause_mc.pause_mc;
theVideo.playPauseButton = navBar.playPause_mc;
theVideo.muteButton = navBar.mute_mc;
theVideo.volumeBar = navBar.volbar;
theVideo.captionButton = navBar.caption_mc;
theVideo.seekBar = navBar.mySeekBar;
theVideo.bufferingBar = navBar.bufbar;

I render it out and get an error of "1119: Access of possibly undefined property captionButton through a reference with static type fl.video:FLVPlayback.

When I comment out the captionButton code like so:

Code:
theVideo.playButton = navBar.playPause_mc.play_mc;
theVideo.pauseButton = navBar.playPause_mc.pause_mc;
theVideo.playPauseButton = navBar.playPause_mc;
theVideo.muteButton = navBar.mute_mc;
theVideo.volumeBar = navBar.volbar;
//theVideo.captionButton = navBar.caption_mc;
theVideo.seekBar = navBar.mySeekBar;
theVideo.bufferingBar = navBar.bufbar;

...all works, minus the captionButton. So, my question is:

What is the correct syntax for connecting the captionButton? I should probably add that this is my 2nd project in AS3 so, if it's something really simple, I truly appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance,

FLVPlayback Captioning Hide Captions
I'm using the flvPlayback and Captioning component/skin for some videos. Works great, but I can't figure out how to have the captions off by default, and use the caption button to turn them on for users who want to see the caption buttons.

flvCaption.showCaptions=false;

--hides the captions, but also disables the captionButton in the skin, so there is no way to toggle showing and hiding the captions.

FLV Captioning
I need to implement closed captioning into my FLVs. I have successfully set up the FLVplayback component, and the FLVplaybackCaptioning component to work. That's not the issue. The issue is, once I have my swf, flv, and xml files (needed to successfully use CC in a FLV), I need to insert that .swf into my captivate project.

It appears to insert/import OK, but once I publish the project, the swf does not appear, and in fact the FLV icon sits on the slide rapidly blinking. Neither the video plays, nor can I even see the playback component/closed caption component (swf) that holds the FLV.

All paths are relative, so the only things I can think of that may be causing the issue are:

a)Captivate doesn't support CS3 FLVPlayback or FLVPlaybackCaptioning components

b)Since Captivate allows importing of FLV files directly, running the FLV through the component's swf is a problem

c)The hierarchy of files needed for the Closed Captioning FLV (xml, flv, swf), interfere with compiling the new Captivate .swf upon publishing

I've also been told that the FLV captioning component only works in Actionscript 3.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 2. Captivate publishes .swf files using Actionscript 2.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 1. Therefore, what I need to do will not work.

Any help is appreciated.

Video Captioning
Does anyone know of a tutorial or movie that I can get my hands on that captions video (captioning= runs the transcription of what is being said in the video in text format)?
I have the transcription in an external TXT right now but can import that into flash if needs be. But what I want it to do is run in a scrolling box under the video. So when the video plays the transcription runs under it like cretits from a movie would.
To put things in perspective the video is about an hour long so it has a long runtime.

Thanks for any wisdom in advance FLash Guru's

Closed Captioning
Guru's,

I am creating interactive pieces in flash with voice overs and closed captioning. However, one thing I have learned with this experience is that when created closed captioning I have to change the variable on each frame according to what the audio says.. So I have a blank frame with a text box called "ccbar". And the whole code on the blank keyframe is

_root.ccbar.cctext = "text of whatever is being said in the audio file";

My question is that I have to go through the entire FLA file and add these blank keyframes for each sentence that is said. Does anyone know how I could possibly create this dynamically and possibly get it to sync up with the audio file? Lets say we had a song, and u wanted the lyrics to be read to you while the song is playing at the same time. I know this seems as if its a hard concept a little. I am just trying to figure an easier/faster way to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Andy

Closed Captioning
How can I get an FLV to use the skinOverAll.swf with closed captioning, but have the captions start turned off? They seem to default on.

If I set the showCaptions parameter to false, they not only don't show, but the CC button on the skin will not toggle them on or off.

Thanks

Code:
import fl.video.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;

// VIDEO CONTROLS
var flvDisplay = new FLVPlayback();
flvDisplay.scaleMode = VideoScaleMode.MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO;
flvDisplay.x = -250;
flvDisplay.y = -270;
flvDisplay.setSize(500, 375);
flvDisplay.skinBackgroundColor = 0x999999;
flvDisplay.skinBackgroundAlpha = 0.75;
flvDisplay.skin = "SkinOverAll.swf"
flvDisplay.source = "content/video/video01.flv";
flvDisplay.autoPlay = true;
flvDisplay.skinAutoHide = true;
addChild(flvDisplay);

// VIDEO CAPTIONING CONTROLS
var captioning = new FLVPlaybackCaptioning();
captioning.flvPlayback = flvDisplay;
captioning.source = "content/video/captions01.xml";
captioning.autoLayout = true;
// captioning.showCaptions = false;
addChild(captioning);

captioning.addEventListener("captionChange",onCaptionChange);
function onCaptionChange(e:*):void {
// trace("caption change");
var tf:* = e.target.captionTarget;
var flvDisplay:FLVPlayback = e.target.flvPlayback;
};

AS 3 Captioning Component Help
Is there a way to implement the FLVCaptioning component into a custom FLV player? I have a player that I have written, but I can't figure out how to get the captioning component to work unless I use a stock player. If I drag the component onto the timeline I get:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable FLVPlaybackCaptioning is not defined.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MainTimeline is not defined.

I set the flvPlayBack name to testClip.flv and the captionTargetName to captionBox (a dynamic text box on the stage)

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks!

Having Trouble With Captioning
I am currently going through a tutorial on creating captioning using cue points located here. I have my layout set up and my xml setup and everything, but there seems to be a problem with a line of code (in bold):

Code:
var captions:Array;

var captionsXML:XML = new XML();
captionsXML.ignoreWhite = true;

captionsXML.onLoad = function():Void {
captions = this.firstChild.childNodes;

for(var i:Number = 0; i < captions.length; i++) {
myVid.addASCuePoint(Number(captions[i].attributes.start, captions[i].firstChild.nodeValue);
};

};

captionsXML.load("cueData_0101.xml");

myVid.addEventListener("cuePoint", onCuePoint);

function onCuePoint(evntObj:Object):Void {
txtCaption.text = evntObj.info.name;
};
There error I get from the de-bugging window is:

Quote:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 13, frame=1:Line 10: Wrong number of parameters; Number requires exactly 1.

myVid.addASCuePoint(Number(captions[i].attributes.start, captions[i].firstChild.nodeValue);

This of course prevents the captioning from working, can anyone help me?

Close Captioning
Hi,

I work in State Government and I'm in the process of putting together a seminar video. I've purchased the Proxus FLV PLayer Component online specifically because of the visual media list offered. However, I've found that this player doesn't have any caption control mechanism build into it.

Could I build ontop of this player (using layers i assume) and if so, does anyone have any suggestion regarding the XML and Action Script code to use?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Closed Captioning
I'm trying to create closed captioning for an FLV playing in my Flash file. I've looked at tutorials on Lynda.com and used that exact code but I get errors - I've checked a bunch of times to make sure I've typed it in correctly and I think I have. Can you see why I'd get errors with this code (errors and code pasted below) and can anyone suggest how I should do this? I plan to create ActionScript cuepoints and when it hits the cuepoints, display text for that section of video.

import fl.VideoEvent
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;

vid.addEventListener(MetaDataEvent.CUE_POINT, cueText);

function cueText(e:MetadataEvent();void{
var cuePointName = e.info.name;
if(cuePointName=="one"){
info.text = "one is the lonliest number";
}else if(cuePointName=="two"){
info.text = "two can be as sad as one";
}
}

ERRORS:
The class or interface 'fl.video.MetadataEvent' could not be loaded.

FLV Xml-based Captioning (Subtitles)
Hi everyone!

I am following a tutorial from actionscript.org about creating xml-based subtitles in flash through actionscript. Although I have followed the instructions and explanations closely, I can't seem to make the thing work. Take note, there are no error notifications when I test the movie - I have all the classes required as well as a sample FLV. Can someone please point out what's wrong with this script?

This is basically the cached link of the tutorial I followed. Actionscript.org appears to be inaccessible at the moment.FLV Xml-based Captioning

Attach Code

var theContent:XModel = new XModel();
var listener = new Object();
theContent.addEventListener("onModelledObject", listener);
theContent.load("xml/cuepoints.xml");

var arr_cue_points:Array = new Array();
listener.onModelledObject = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
var cuepoints:Object = eventObject.modelledObject;
for(kk=0; kk<cuepoints.cuepoint.length; kk++){
var cueObj:Object = new Object();
cueObj.cueTitle = cuepoints.cuepoint[kk].cuename[0].text;
cueObj.cueTime = cuepoints.cuepoint[kk].cuetime[0].text;
cueObj.cueText = cuepoints.cuepoint[kk].subtitle[0].text;

FLV Captioning Problem With ShowCaptions
Greetings,

I am working on a simple FLV player for my website with closed captioning using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3. I am using the FLVPlayback and FLVPlaybackCaptioning which work really great. Now, I wanted to use one player for all my videos, I use javascript functions to pass in the movie parameters (using ExternalInterface). However, I have a problem with setting the FLVPlaybackCaptioning.showCaptions parameter.

Basically, if I set this parameter to "false" then my Closed Captioning button stops working (hovering doesn't change its color and clicking on it doesn't do anything). I use a modified SkinUnderAll skin file for my skin.

Any help on why this is happening and how I can fix that is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Also, my fullscreen button does nothing. Do I need to do anything special to enable it?

Captioning Strangness When Changing Source
I have a tileList component with the following function that loads a new flv into a player when an item is selected. It also loads up a new caption xml file.

I've noticed, if video 1 plays with a caption on screen and I load video 2, it clears the caption text field as in this function but then as soon as video 2 is loaded, the original caption of video 1 displays again until it's duration is over or a new title is played in the video 2 caption xml.

If the caption component gets a new source, why does it persist on playing the old stuff? How can I stop that? Apparently the .text=""; didn't work.

Code:
function changeImage (e:Event):void
{
var myTarget:Object = e.target.selectedItem;
myCaptions.text = "";
flvDisplay.source = myTarget.video;
captioning.source = myTarget.captions;
}

Playing Multiple FLV Files With Captioning
Thanks for reading. So I ran across this Live Doc talking about playing multiple FLV files with captioning, but I'm a bit confused. Here's what I think I understand:

1) I only need to reference one FLVPlayback instance, but multiple FLVPlaybackCaptioning Instances for this method.

2) I'm supposed to set two variables that I don't see listed in any other documentation, "captionURL" and "videoPlayerIndex". Am I supposed to create and initialize these variables myself, or did Adobe do it for me?

Any tips? Anybody?

Captioning And Numbers For Photo Gallery
I would like to add in caption text and photo number indicator to this tutorial:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm

1. caption for each photo:
I made text file named "animation.txt" with "&image1= this is pea****, &image2=this is elephant, &image3..............." and I put a dynamic text field with instance name of "caption".

I put this on top of all the code:
"LoadVariablesNum("animation.txt", 0);"
then I put right under "LoadMovie(this.pathtoPics + this.pArray.........":
"caption.text=eval(this.pArray[0]);"

The text field shows nothing. what is the correct code to make caption.text display the right text for its corespondent photo? I tried "&image1.jpg= this is pea****...." in text file and it did not work, either.

2. photo number indicator:
for each photo displayed, it will show : 1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10......
I have 2 text fields with instance names of "currentNum" and "totalNum". Then at the very end of all the code I put:
"currentNum.text=this.pIndex;
totalNum.text=this.pArray.length;"

Well, I got totalNum display the correct number, but the currentNum always stay at "1", no matter how photo has been changed. I guess I missed something, but I could not figure it out. (note: the tutorial file start with image0, for this purpose I want to start with image1, so I changed "this.pIndex=0" to "this.pIndex=1").

Thanks in advance.

Two questions:
1. I am currently hosting my streaming video on Playstream.com. How do I incorporate this video such that when a user views the content he/she will see a buffer bar loading as the video plays? A good example is on YouTube.com.

2. I've aready created my close caption file and have it in xml format. How do I sync my close captioned file with the flash video?

Setting Up Multiple Closed Captioning Videos In One Player
Hello,

I am trying to create an accessible multi-video player, and am using the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component. I am pulling my video files and my DFXP Timed Text files from an XML file. My code is attached.

Here are the requirements I'm facing, in no particular order. If anyone has any words of wisdom, I'm all ears!:

1) The player needs to have keyboard support. I think this means I can't use the default skins Adobe ships, as they aren't keyboard accessible.

2) I need captions to be turned off by default; In my current file, captions are turned off for my first movie; however once a user selects a new movie (from a list) captions turn on at default. I'm scratching my head about that one.

3) The controls for the video also need alt text for when a user hovers over. For instance, when a user hovers over the "play" arrow button, the word "Play" would appear.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

FLVPlayback Changing Another FLVPlayback
Hi,

I have a movieclip with an FLVPlayback component and a second movieclip on it. In that second movie clip, there's another FLVPlayback component. I was wondering if there was any actionscript I could use in the second movieclip to change the contentPath of the first FLVPlayback component upon the completion of the second FLVPlayback component.

This is the code I tried, but didn't work:

var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
this._parent.flvp1.contentPath = "vid2.flv";
}
flvp2.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);

(flvp1 is the first FLVPlayback component, flvp2 is the second, and vid2.flv is the file to be played in flvp1)

Also, I know that the listenerObject function is working because I tested a trace() command earlier, and it worked.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Brad

Video Captioning Causes Major Video Distortion
So,
This is a good one. I have a number of videos in an interactive program I'm doing. It's standalone, and the videos are vertically oriented. They'll play back on an LCD screen flipped on it's side and displaying 768x1366. I have it running in flash vertically so that when I play it back on the kiosk, I rotate the display 90 degrees in the display driver. I tried to program this so it ran on it's side, but the transitions and other effects I was doing were much choppier for some reason, so I decided to just go with rotating the display. At any rate, it was all going well until we realized that we needed captions on the screen. I did this in AS3, so I loaded up some XML files, set the caption target to my own text box, and when I went to run the program on the vertical screens, now all the video looks like static and is distorted. I removed my customer caption box, and when played in the default box, it also looks crazy. When I have the display driver set to standard, it looks fine. And, if I remove the caption component from the videos, the whole thing plays fine. I can actually see the videos start to play, and as soon as the captioning kicks in, they go nutty, and the program stays that way. I should say that the videos go crazy, but all the graphics in the program are distorted too, so it's not like the video is the only thing.
I don't really know how to start troubleshooting, and I imagine I am going to have to caption this stuff a different way, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into how the captioning component works, and why it might cause this type of issue. I realize this is a fairly specialized thing I am describing, so there aren't a ton of people who would have experience with it exactly, but I am not really even sure why the component would cause this. Thanks folks.

[F8] Help On FLVPlayback
Hi all,

I have FLVPlayback component and contentPath is being taken from flashVar.
The player is set autoPaly false and until user click on play button the player embedded area is empty.
1) So i need how to cover that?
2) Is there a way to get a frame of video and display that?
3) What we have tried was to use anther player on top original player with out skin and assigning same content path to that and using seekPercent() to move it forward.

But the problem is the top player doesn't call seekPercent() until it buffer full video.

Once it buffered the tactic looks fine.

This is what we were trying without clear idea about FLVPlayback on flash,So this might be stupid.

So any practical idea is appriciated.

Thx!

Using FLVPlayback With FMS - How?
Hi,

I'm new to the FLVPlayback and somewhat of a newbie to Flash in general, but luckily I have managed to stream video from FMS using the MediaPlayback component. Unfortunately, I'm not having too much luck with FLVPlayback.

Macromedia says in order to use this component with FMS, contentPath must point to a SMIL file. Is this true? Should FLVPlayback work out-of-the-box without writing any Action Script (like MediaPlayback does)? If so, I would greatly appreciate some help with some very basic code to get this component to work.

Thanks.

FLVPlayback
Hello,

I am creating a flash movie using the FLVPlayback component that uses a skin. After exporting, the skin is visible in the swf playback but once imported into DW CS3 and tested in IE7 the skin is not visible. The swf skin file is included.

I never encountered this issue in Flash 8. The only difference I see in parameters is second from the bottom version_1_0_1.

Does anyone know how to get the skin visible in the browser?

FLVPlayBack
Hi there,
I am trying to control video in fullScreenTakeOver mode and having some issues. Robert, you've replied to several video questions and I hope you know this one too... :)

I have a simple FLVPlayBack component on the stage with its skin that has a fullscreen button, simple enough...
When it goes in fullscreen I want to be able to control the size of the video and a black background... I've tried this with several properties with no success. The closest I get, is with "player.scaleMode = VideoScaleMode.NO_SCALE;". This centers the video in its original size with black background... I want to be able to custom its size ... how would I do this? I am trying to avoid fullScreenTakeOver= false and having to remove all the elements on the stage except for the video, then relocating/resize it...

I hope it makes sense, thank-you

Only the first FLVPlayback video will play. If i go to the second frame, the FLVPlayback video will not play.

If i delete the first FLVPlayback frame, then the second frame will play its video.

FLVPlayback
I am building a site with multiple videos (FLV) for the user to choose from. I really like the ease of using the FLVPLayback component. My issue is using several instances of the component. How can I use one instance of the component and change the "contentPath" with actionscript? The instances are NOT on the same frame, I move from frame to frame to load in new movies. If doing this is not an isue with over loading the player then I am fine with using several instances.

Thanks for the help!!!

I have a FLVPlayback component on my stage with the instancename "my_FLVPlybk"
And then I have my flv files "movie1.flv", "movie2.flv", and "movie3.flv"
How would I with actionscript randomly load one of these into my FLVPlayback when the movie starts?

FMS/FLVPlayback
FMS is installed. I have my .flv file under my directory for the application. Trying to use the FLVPlayback in Flash 8 to call it using rtmp://myserver/myapp/_definst_/myvideo.flv. Publish and it just brings up a blank screen. never plays. I know the .flv file works ok. I can see it connecting to the FMS so I know that is working ok. My application does use UC/LC combination and i read something that says it might be a problem. Any help??? I have the main.asc file from the Flash8 components sample (although that does say it is for the old 1.5 server).

FLVPlayback And MP3
From everything that I have read, FLVPlayback should be able to handle a streamed mp3 file using FMS. Whenever I try to put in my stream source address, rtmp://mydomain/myapp/myfile.mp3, I get an error that says

"Unable to make connection to server or to find the FLV on server"

I know the FMS is setup correctly because I can stream video FLV files without a problem.

Does anyone know how to connect to a streamed mp3 using FLVPlayback?

I'm using FLVPlayback component to play flv files. When user clicks on selected FLV videos it finds path and plays that video. During the time of video being palyed if, user selects another video it doesn't play.

Below is the code that I have when user click on the video list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if(flvPlayBack.state == PLAYING ||
flvPlayBack.state == BUFFERING)
{
flvPlayBack.stop();
flvPlayBack.source = uri;
flvPlayBack.load(flvPlayBack.source);
}

FLVPlayback AS3, Help Please
Is there a way to get the FLVPlayback to work correctly in fullscreen if the stage is set to fullscreen?

some gen. info about the file, and what I would like to happen:
The project I'm working on is 1600 x 1200. On the left side is a navigation menu with dropdowns and so forth. All of the sublinks bring up an 800x600 movie on the right side. So when a sublink is clicked I just want the movie to be shown at 800x600 on the right side. Then, if the user wants, they can click the FLVPlayback fullscreen button to make the video fullscreen. The videos should only be full screen after the button has been clicked.

What seems to be my problem is that I need the stage to be fullscreen, no windows or border or anything. Currently I have
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

If I have the FLVPlayback property fullScreenTakeOver = true; the video loads fullscreen, bad. If I have fullScreenTakeOver = false, when the fullscreen btn is clicked the stage is taken out of fullscreen. The only way i can get close to getting what I'd like is by Not setting the stage to fullscreen and setting the takeOver property to true(Everything works fine, but the swf does not take up the whole screen, it is in window mode).

Thanks to all in advance!! If I need to explain it better, please let me know.

FLVPlayback
Hey!
Im working on a flash clip, that has to be able to contain atleast 5 Flvs. Well easy as h¤ll i thought

The problem:
First i tried to load each flv externally from another swf and the loop code in each of those, unfortunatly this didnt work...Looping each of the flvs. If i have the same flv in all "holders" they loop fine with this code:

on (complete) {
this.seekSeconds(0);
this.play();
}

Also tried using this:

on (complete) {
flvmov1.seekSeconds(0);
flvmov1.play();
flvmov2.seekSeconds(0);
flvmov2.play();
} and so on...

When i then add diffrent flvs to each container none will loop? What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Flvplayback Actionscript, Please Help
Hello guys. I'm an intermediate in Actionscripting and so I want to ask you with a problem I am having.

I used an flvplayback component and used actionscript because the flv that it would be running would be dynamic. It went great. With it, I also used the skin feature in actionscript (I somewhat tweaked the existing skin). This seems to be the problem.

In IE it worked good. In mozilla, at first seemed ok. Everything is there and functioning. But when I refreshed it, the skin didn't seem to load up, so I was left with a playing flv which dont have any control. I thought at first, there must have been something that I tweaked in the skin. But when i tried to load up a fresh unedited skin, the same result ensued.

I have tried another method, using LoadVars: and it seemed to work again at first because when I refreshed it (in Mozilla) the skin was still there. But then it maybe there, but I cant move any of the controllers at all.

It seem in my program, that I must take out the skin variable out of the mySkin.onload = function()....but, when move it out, the result of the variable is undefined.

Please help me with this problem, I really really appreciate it. Here's the code:

import mx.video.*;
myPlayBack.contentPath = "videoViewer.flv";
myPlayBack.autoPlay = true;

mySkin = new LoadVars();
mySkin.load("mySkin.txt");

mySkin.onLoad = function () {
nowSkin = mySkin.nextSkin;
}

trace(nowSkin);
myPlayBack.skin = nowSkin;
myPlayBack.scaleX = 150;
myPlayBack.scaleY = 100;
myPlayBack.autoSize = true;
myPlayBack.autoRewind = true;

Thank you so much.
