Flash :: From Start To Finnish Video Intro

The Movie Start To Play Before It Finnish Loading
I have a flv file on a flash server and I use NetConnection and NetStream to load the movie into my flash.

I have

Code:
ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full") {
mcbuff._visible = false;
clearInterval(videoInterval);
txtloadingtext._visible=false;
mcmovie._visible = true;
}

function videoStatus() {
loading = Math.round(ns.bufferLength/2* 100);
if (loading<100){
txtloadingtext.text = loading + " %";
}
}
videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,10);
so when the buffer is full is going to show that movieclip that have the player inside(mcmovie) but someway it start to play before the loading is 100 and that dont look good when I have a animation and text on the movie (mcbuff and txtloadingtext)

Flash Video: Play Intro Before Video
Hey guys, first post, and already i'm requesting something, sorry about that. I wish to give a big thanks to Lee and all the users helping out here, being a total newb at actionscript, I found alot of useful tips and tuts. Ok now to the point of my request.

I created a custom player following the video basics (which is a great tut by the way), now what I would like to do is that each time someone plays a video on my website, they have this short 2 second intro play first, and then have the actual video start playing, and when it reaches the end, have the player return to the start of this video and stop, so that people don't have to watch the intro a 2nd time (unless they go and play another video, or leave and come back).

So in other words, have 2 flv files, one for the intro and one for the video, just so I don't have to edit each of my videos manually to add the intro, before encoding them. I thought of using a XML playlist, the problem is that i'm loading the videos dynamically through flashvars so it wouldn't be practical.

Hope this makes sense. Any help at all with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

AS 2.0 Problem : Website Intro - Start/stop And Enter Site Button, Help :)
Hi there

I'm a multimedia student from Melbourne, Australia trying to figure out how to tackle a problem in Actionscript 2.0 / 3.0.

Basically, I have website intro.swf which I have an animation created on it...

Here are the things I'm trying to achieve :
At any time the user can RESTART / STOP the intro
At any time the user can (skip intro) and ENTER SITE, thus launching another page called main.swf

I am using Flash CS3, and I don't mind if your solution is in either AS 2.0 or 3.0........

Hope to get some insight from all you Flash gurus out there

Many thanks

Flash Video Intro / Then Jump To Frame
Hey there!

I'm trying to use an flv as an intro to a site. After this 15 second video, I want the user to see the flash site.

Currently I have the timeline set up as follows:
Preloader (Frames 1-4)
FLV Movie (Frame 5)
Flash Site Begins (Frame 6)

If I place a stop on Frame 5, the movie obviously does not move onto frame 6.
If there is no stop, then the FLV is skipped.

What is the process to tell flash that after the flv plays, goto frame 6? It seems so simple, but I can't figure this out! Any help is appreciated, and if there is a more efficient way to make this happen, I would love to hear it!

Adding Intro/outro To Flash Video
Hi there,
Sorry for cross-posting, but I posted this to the plain Flash forum a
few weeks ago and got no response. I'm wondering if this is a better
venue for it, so I'll try again:

We have created a series of short video product reviews that are all
being loaded dynamically into a common SWF container something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new
SWFObject("/swf/movie.swf?video=http://images.ourserver.com/product_reviews/SS13.flv",
"myMovie", "320", "277", "8", "#FFFFFF");
so.addParam("base", "/swf/");
so.write("noFlash");
// ]]>
</script>

We want to add a simple common intro and outro (logo fading to video for
intro and logo fading back in for outro). Is there a cool and clean way
to do this as part of the Flash movie rather than having to insert it
into each QT movie beforehand?
The biggest problem seems to be determining when to begin the outro
since all the videos are slightly different durations. Is there some way
to use script to determine when each video is ending and trigger the
closing animation?

Thanks for any help with this,

Don Hinshaw

I'd like some kind of small intro to be displayed at my website. I'll be recording some small clips with my digital camera and then doing some editing until I've got an OK looking intro.

But what do I do after this? Is it just to import the clip via Flash and save it, then display it on the website via some html code?

Dynamic Video Playlist -- Different Style, But Want An Intro
Hi all,

I have a dynamic video playlist that uses an flvplayback and tilelist components. The tileList holds the video thumbnail and description within the XML the playback plays the appropriate video in the playback. Easy enough.

What I want to do is play an "intro" video in the playback when the HTML page first loads, play it only once then freeeze on the last frame and wait for the user to click from the tileList which vid to play.

My problem is I can't tell the playback to autoplay the intro video directly using the flv location or URL it just overrides it and plays the first video in the xml list. I want it to play the intro video but I don't want that intro video to be listed as an option within the list.

You are the smart ones! What the heck should I do!? I was thinking of playing a seperate videoplayback that loads the intro video and then disappears after it's done to allow the user to click and select one - that' s my bandaid solution. But maybe you all have an idea of a smarter solution. Another monkey wrench is... I did this with a non-gotoandlearn tutorial I know I know but I needed thumbnails for my videos!!

Here is my as code:
Code:

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.controls.listClasses.CellRenderer;
import fl.controls.ScrollBarDirection;

public class VideoPlaylist extends MovieClip {
   private var xmlLoader:URLLoader;

   public function VideoPlaylist():void {
      // Load the playlist file, then initialize the media player.
      xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
      xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, initMediaPlayer);
      xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("playlist.xml"));
      // Format the tileList, specify its cellRenderer class.
      tileList.setSize(250, 240);
      tileList.columnWidth = 180;
      tileList.rowHeight = 60;
      tileList.direction = ScrollBarDirection.VERTICAL;
      tileList.setStyle("cellRenderer", Thumb);
   }

   public function initMediaPlayer(event:Event):void {
      var myXML:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
      var item:XML;
      for each(item in myXML.vid) { // populate playlist.
         // Get thumbnail value and assign to cellrenderer.
         var thumb:String;
         if(item.hasOwnProperty("@thumb")>0) thumb = item.@thumb;
         // Send data to tileList.
         tileList.addItem({label:item.attribute("desc").toXMLString(),
         data:item.attribute("src").toXMLString(),
         source:thumb});;
      }
      // Select the first video.
      tileList.selectedIndex = 0;
      // Listen for item selection.
      tileList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);
      // And automatically load it into myVid.
      myVid.source = tileList.selectedItem.data;
      // Pause video until selected or played.
      myVid.pause();
   }


   // Detect when new video is selected, and play it
   function listListener(event:Event):void {
      myVid.play(event.target.selectedItem.data);
   }


}
}

Any help will be cherished and honored

Video - Where To Start?
Over the course of the next 3-6 months we will be going from having 0 videos on our site to having well over 30 videos. We have absolutely no one on staff who has any decent experience with Flash or Flex. We want to do everything in house as we have the resources just not the knowledge. Half of the videos have been shot by a professional production team, the other videos will be produced in house by a soon to be created video production studio/team.

For our episode type videos it would be nice to have a single template that dynamically pulls the correct video so we don't have to create a new player every time a new episode is released; if that's even possible.

Can someone give me some direction as to how the whole process comes together? Any kind of recommended training? Again we are starting from scratch so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Basically, I've got this xml doc with 4 videos. After the first video plays, I need some code to stop the array from continuing, until the user jumps to a new frame. So, there are 4 videos (a, b, c, d) that correspond to 4 frames (0, 20, 30, 40) and when the user clicks on a button, the playhead jumps to one of the 4 frames.

Any help is very appreciated.

this is the reference point http://www.whensheshot.com/

As the PM where do I start to figure out how to get one of these going.

We have all the video clips but I what am I looking at as far as any database implementation, what about bandwidth? will I need to set up a flash media server? could I leverage akamai? How do one of these things work in a broad sense? once the clips are placed does it send a query string to the database to pull all the correct video files.

Anybody know some one that can build one of these?

Other thing. When I was finaly able to link button to the video, the video doesn't play the full lenght. It stop in the middle. Well It never stop at the same place.

Here are the code so far:
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);

function panelOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
panel.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
panel.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollPanel);

}
var b:Rectangle = stroke.getBounds(this);

function scrollPanel(event:Event):void {
if(mouseX < b.left || mouseX > b.right || mouseY < b.top || mouseY > b.bottom) {
panel.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollPanel);
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
}
if(panel.x > 50) {
panel.x = 50;
}
if(panel.x < -689) {
panel.x = -689;
}
var xdist = mouseX - stage.stageWidth / 2;
panel.x += -(xdist / 7);
}

var video:Video = new Video(428, 240);
addChild(video);

video.x=240;
video.y=211;

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);

function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
{
trace(stat.info.code);
}

var meta:Object = new Object();
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
{
trace(meta.duration);
}

ns.client = meta;

video.attachNetStream(ns);

panel.smpq.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Navigation)
function Navigation(event:MouseEvent):void{
ns.play("video/SMPQ.flv");

How To Stop/start Mouse Rollover In FLASH VIDEO?
Fellow Professionals,

I am using Flash 8 Professional. I have imported a video
using the default flash 8 codec and thus the video and audio
files are separated into two separate files / symbols (nice!)
for easy control of the audio / video.

QUESTION: I want to create a very simple movie clip that
only plays if the mouse is rolled over the movie clip - in which
case both the video and audio will proceed. As soon as the
mouse exits the movieclip area, then the video and audio will
stop. When mouse rolls over again, the video and audio will
again start playing from the point at which they stopped.

The algorhythm is very simple. I am just a bit in need of
direction as to which clip events, properties, listeners, handlers,
etc. (i.e. the syntax to express my algorhythm) that I need to activate and code in order for this to work.

Does anyone have the expertise in AS syntax to provide what
should be a few lines of code solution?

Thank you for your help.

Kindest regards,

B. Leon

FMS3: Delay In Start Of Video Stream; Error
Hi,

We're setting up an FMS3-based video streaming system for a new website, and have built a player using AS2 (for compatibility with Flash Player v8) and the FLVPlayback componenent which uses FMS3's new native bandwidth checking to provide us with a figure with which we can work out which of 3 streams to play and how long to buffer before playback. The initial NetConnection connection happens pretty much instantly and we get the numbers we're looking for, but it then takes about another 30 seconds before the FLVPlayback component connects to the server and begins to stream the video. There doesn't seem to be anything in the logic of the player to cause this, and when we test on a local deployment of FMS3 we don't get the problem. Furthermore, we had this player working nicely with FMS2 on the remote server until recently, when we upgraded during our development stage. We think the key must be in the errors we get in the FMS server log:

quote:Mon 09:30:33 AM: Connect : rtmp://OurDomain/OurAppName
Mon 09:30:35 AM: Core (10567) connection to admin accepted.
Mon 09:30:35 AM: Core (10567) sending register cmd to edge. - Player receives BW check numbers here
Mon 09:30:35 AM: (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (OurAppName) is not a valid signed application; loading access denied.
Mon 09:30:35 AM: (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (OurAppName/A201EB4C-C3F3-4A56-8C42-CA9373F0CA90) is not a valid signed application; loading access denied.
Mon 09:30:35 AM: Connection rejected by server. Reason : [ Server.Reject ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (OurAppName/A201EB4C-C3F3-4A56-8C42-CA9373F0CA90) is not a valid signed application; loading access denied.
Mon 09:31:05 AM: Connect : rtmp://OurDomain:1935/OurAppName - Video begins streaming

The GUIDs are the folder names on our server containing the media, and appear here because FMS takes the first part of the path to be the application instance, which has not proved to be a problem before.

I can't find anything about validating or signing applications, but I suspect these errors have something to do with the inexplicable delay before streaming starts. Does anyone know anything about this?

thanks,
Ben

How Do I Start A Streaming .flv At A Point Other Than The Beginning Of The Video File?
I have a 1.5 hour flv video that is streaming from a Microsoft 2003 box with Wowza Media Server installed. Using Actionscript 3 and the FLVplayback component I would like to start the video at a point about 10 seconds from the beginning.

This code snippet does not work:

myVideoFile.seek(10);
myVideoFile.play();

Though the video seeks to the proper point in the video file, the play() call sends it back to the beginning. Thanks for your help!

HELP: Flash Video Sticking At Start & Stop FLV From Loop
I've used the actionscript exactly how it's shown here in the tutorials for the FLV Videos. It works great except for a few little details I'm curious about.

1. I have the buffer set to 20 "ns.setBufferTime(20);" and it sticks a little at the beginning and if I set higher it's even more noticeable. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there any remedy for this?

2. How do I stop the video at the very end and not have it loop?

Start And Stop Streaming Sounds (start Stopping Currently Playing)
Hi there

I am novice user of flash and have no real AS experience.

What I want to do is..

I have 18 songs from an album and have taken 30 sec from each and down sampled them ready for flash.

I want to be able preview them all from one flash file.
I will be streaming the songs in, so the initial download time is minimal.

With 18 start stop buttons for each one, but because customers are lazy, they are likely just going to click the next play button for the next preview, so I need the play buttons to stop 'this' preview before playing the next with stop control also being a stop control for those who have had enough or are well behaved browsers : )

I hope this makes sense and look forward to hearing from someone.

Cheers

I am using the following code to load an external swf.Now I need to start the playing of the swf movie not from frame 1 but from say 10th frame.
Please help

Code:
var myMcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();

myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
//swfToLoad._visible = false;
loadedPercent = Math.floor((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
_root.bar_mc._xscale = loadedPercent;
//trace(bar_mc._xscale);
c.text = loadedPercent+"%";
//trace(loadAnim.percLoaded.text);
spacer.loadMovie("images/loadingss.jpg");

};

myListener.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC:MovieClip) {

swfToLoad._visible = true;
loadAnim._visible = false;
//swfToLoad._width=367;
//swfToLoad._height=255;
}

myMcl.addListener(myListener);
myMcl.loadClip("Jason_500.swf",swfToLoad);

FLV Start Time? Can I Start It Playing 2 Secs In?
Is there a way with actionscript to tell an FLV to start playing 2 seconds into the video. What I have is an FLV that has 2 seconds of black at the beginning, but I don't want that to play.

Or if anyone knows a way to re-encode an flv so that I can get rid of the 1st 2 seconds. I've tried re-encoding it with Riva Encoder but it just gets all screwed up. And the Flash encoder won't even let me add it to the que. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lady

Sound Start Doesn't Start
I've been experiencing this problem. Sound.start() doesn't always start. A lot of times, it does, sometimes, it doesn't start for me. Sometimes it happens even after sound load has just finished. Has anyone experienced the same? any suggestions?

To Start Again, Or Not To Start Again, That Is The Question
help!

I know I'm a dumbass, no need to rub it in. Guess who just learned what a smart clip is. now here's the issue:

http://www.7inone.info/test4/

everything on this site that SHOULD be a smart clip, ISN'T. Every single button and movie clip and movie clip holder has been scripted individually. And now, this far along, I realize that the smarter thing to do would have been to use smart clips. So do you think I should start over, and do it right? or should I just leave it, and learn from my mistake for future work. I would love to start again and get it perfect, but the reality of the matter is that the boss want's the site ready to go - and SOON.

any additional comments on over all design, etc. would be appricated.

thanks guys

sid.

Immediate Start Instead Of Clic Start
I have a fla-file which almost is just perfect for my needs. The only thing I need to change is :
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
gotoAndPlay ("start");
}

I would like the movie to start immediately instead of after the visitor clicking a key. No need for saying that I am totally new to flash, is there.

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._alpha = 0;
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.
