How Would I Play A .mov File As An Intro To A Flash File?
Hello,
just wondering if anyone knows how to play a .mov file as an introduction to a flash website.

I have already converted the .mov file into a .FLV file, and placed it onto my stage, but I want to be able to goto the next frame of my stage after the movie has played.

Is there a actionscript code for this to be done?

Cue Points And External Swf File
I have a project that involves a 3 minute video (avi) and a Flash quiz. Once the video is done playing, I need it to load/play my flash quiz without the user clicking a link.

I'm not doing a great job making this work. I created a new Flash 8 doc and imported my vid and set a cue point for the end of the movie. My idea is once the cue point hits the end of the movie, load quiz.swf.

The cue Points are:
Name Time Type
end 00:03:34.643 Event

Parameters for "end"
Name Value
quiz pass

The action script is:
var vidList:Object = new Object ();
vidList.cuePoint = function(cues) {
pass.loadmovieNum("quiz.swf", 0);
}
vid.addEventListener("cuepoint", vidList);

Am I way off base on this? I'm willing to credit a paypal account if you can make this work. Thank you.

How Do I Use Cue Points Embedded In External Flv File
Ok first time working with cue points somethings i figured out:

Dont use soresen squeeze, I tried creating markers (keyframes) using squeeze 4.3 and for some reason it only picks up the first marker, not sure if im doing something wrong, if someone knows why please let me know? So i decided to use MM Flash 8 encoder, I added my cue points np, i also added parameters and gave it a name and a value im not sure if i need to do this but i thought i might need to call it in AS at somepoint and perform a if statement? Again if this is wrong please let me know?

2. Ok im using netstream so when i call my flv i just need to envoke ns.onCuePoint = function(infoObject:Object) (read in the forums here) I also learned that you dont use onMetaData because this will envoke all cuepoints at the beginning of the movie!!

3. Ok so i call this function above this is where im getting confused? I have 3 cue points in my video, i want to trigger a movie clip to play when that cue point is hit? How do i call this?

I want to be able to do something like this

Code:
if(flv has reached cuePT1) {
other_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
}
if(flv has reached cuePT2) {
other_mc.gotoAndStop(3);
}

Thanks

Help Directing A Txt File Goto Certain Points In The Text
Is there a way to 'flag' points in the text file? I have this problem where i am importing a text file. This text file contains a long list of links that are all catergorised. within the flash movie i have buttons that tell the txt file, using the scroll command to jump to the catergories. The problem occurs when the window size is different from that of the intended use. When the movie reshapes (i'm using the fit window percentage thing) the buttons still tell the text file to go to the same line, but because the movie has changed dimensions, so has the text box and thus the jump to catergory button jumps to the same line but it contains different area of the text.

I was thinking perhaps there was a way to flag parts of the txt file so flash could look for certain flagged parts of the file and then jump straight to them as opposed to jumping to a certain line?!

I had also concluded the best waqy to do this was by having the catergories as seperate files but i don't really want to have to do this as I want the user to be able to scroll down the whole list of links if they want to.

Is anybody following because if so I would really like some help as the site is scheduled to go live later this afternoon.

Thanks in advance.

How To Use Cue Points To Trigger Events In An Audio File
Hi,

I'm having real trouble tracking down information on using cue points generated in Soundbooth to trigger events in Flash. I eventually managed to find out how to do it with a video file but I can't figure out how to translate this to audio only. I'm basically looking to use this for lip syncing, ie. cue point in audio file at start and end of every block of words.

This is the listener object code I found for a video file (flv) with embedded cue points, the video file on stage being named video:

PHP Code:

var listenerObject:Object = new Object();

listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
    if(eventObject.info.name == "start"){
        _root.interviewer.mouth.play();
    }
    if(eventObject.info.name == "stop"){
        _root.interviewer.mouth.gotoAndStop("start");
    }
}

video.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);

I've tried using this for sound objects, ie. creating a sound object like so:
PHP Code:

sound = new Sound();
sound.attachSound("speech");

and changing the video in the listener code to sound, but have had no luck with that. I also can't figure out how to give a sound an instance name when you drag in straight onto the stage either, ie. have it on the timeline itself, so I can't seem to do that.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give as I think this technique would help with loads of work that I do as well as just lip syncing!

Thanks in advance.

Video Question - Cue Points For Captions In An XML File
Hi there,

I'm creating captions for a video(FLV file) using Flash 8. All captions will be loaded in a dynamic text box through an XML file. Is it true, it can only allow one caption at any cue point time?

The question is that is it possible to loaded captions into 3 separate dynamic boxes at one cue point? For example:
1. A person's name into a dynamic text box;
2. The job title into a separate dynamic text box;
3. The description into another dynamic text box

I have found this tutorial link,
http://www.tomontheweb2.ca/CaptionVideo/index.cfm

but it loads one caption in one dynamic text box only.

Any suggestions? anybody?

Many thanks!

Bullet Points Coming Up As Squares When Using URL Encoding In Text File.
Ok, i've got a flash file that pulls the text from a text file. I'm using URL encoding for things like carriage returns etc. It all works fine, except for bullet points which are appearing as squares, rather than dots.

The file looks like this: http://www.scottwilson.com/test/index.html

My text file looks like this (i've cut it down to show just the relevant bits):

-----------------------------------------

var1=Regeneration of the Trent and Mersey Canal Conservation Area in Middleport/Longport. The major buildings identified were:

%95 Price and Kensington Pottery Middleport Pottery%0D%95 Port Vale Flour Mill Middleport Mill (former Calcining Works)

-----------------------------------------

As you can see, i'm using '%0D' for a new line (this works fine) and i'm using '%95' for a bullet point '•' but it's coming up as a square (As you can see).

Where am I going wrong?

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,

How Do I Play Swf File Within A Swf File?
I'm gonna start off this message very annoyed! I just wrote out this whole msg, submitted it and then it got deleted somehow, so now i have to do it all again!!!

I am in the process of completely redoing my existing flash site, but am having troubles doing exactly what i want to do, and what i want to do is this:

When, in my flash movie, there are four buttons for example, and when one of these are clicked another swf mc loads and is played on top of the existing movie, these new swf's could be text (a link list or a description), an image, or an animation.
If any of you guys can help, would you please be able to explain in the simplest way you can, i'm not that new to flash, just crap.

I would also like to have a simple button on my swf that when pressed changes the background of the swf, it is basically the same as seen at www.crashshop.com. these images would be in jpg format, and would appear (hopefully) in a random formation, or a set order.

Again, would you be able to explain very simply.

Cheers guys in advance for any help that comes my way.

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!

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 :-)

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!
