Video Player Component Using Flash Player 6
I'm streaming video using Flash Player 6. The problem I am having is that the video will only play at a super small size, something like 180 x 60 (that's a guess). Is there a way to play the video at the 320 width that I redered it as?I'm using Flash Player 6 because some code that came with my purchased Flash Template does not work unless it's published to Flash Plaey 6.Thanks in advance!

Tracking Via Google Analytics & Flash Video Player Component
Hi,
I'm trying to track when a user plays a video on our home page. I'm using the standard Flash Video Player component and Dreamweaver to hook it up. In order to get the player to call Google analytics on play I think that I need the FLA for this player but I can't seem to figure out how to access it. Any suggestions?
Thanks

[F8] 2 Flash Objects - Audio Player Passes Pause To Video Player
I have 2 flash objects on my html page.
One is a video player and the other is an audio player.
The video player starts playing by default.
I'd like to somehow set this up so that if someone clicks on the audio player, it automatically pauses the video player.
Please note that these are 2 SEPARATE FLASH OBJECTS on my HTML website. I'm not developing an all Flash driven website.
The audio player was added as an afterthought, originally there was only going to be a video player on the page.
How can I send a pause command from the Audio Player to the Video Player?

Flash Player 10 Killed My Video Player
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum, but love all of the very valuable information that is available here on gotoAndLearn. I am hoping to get a solution for a couple of problems that have arisen in an application that I'm developing.
I am the developer for the web site at http://www.quired.com. I have a few different issues going on with my content. I just updated my flash player to version 10.0.12.36 yesterday. The update completely screwed up my application. The site runs off of a CMS that is built with PHP/MySQL. There are 3 Flash components: the Menu, the MediaSelector, and the MediaPlayer.
I will preface this by saying that in the past I had experienced problems with embedding multiple swfs in the same page with swfObject and AC_RunActiveContent. My solution to this was to embed the MediaSelector and MediaPlayer into individual .html or dynamic PHP pages and then use an iFrame and Javascript to load these into the main page as necessary. The idea is that the when the user clicks the menu, a Javascript is called that reloads the MediaSelector with thumbnails for videos, images, and audio clips that are linked to the page. When a user clicks a thumbnail from MediaSelector the MediaPlayer loads in with the clip that was clicked and the group of clips that the item is in. Now the user can continue to browse the site while still viewing or listening to the media in the group.
Before the update, I had experienced issues on a couple of older computers with older browser version and figured that the issue was more with the Javascripts that get called from within the swfs. The problem was basically that when the user clicked a thumb the player didn't update. Originally, we sent the user to a completely different page to view the media. The only changes that I made to the MediaSelector was the URLRequest in a navigateToURL().
My code changed from:
public function loadMedia(Event:MouseEvent):void{
var url:String;
var window:String;
//make sure it is a media item
if(Event.currentTarget.type_id < 4){
//if it isn't an image load the media player otherwise load the image with Javascript
if(Event.currentTarget.type_id != 3){
url = "../../../MediaPlayer/index.php?id="+Event.currentTarget.id+"&pageID="+requestID;
}else{
url = "Javascript: loadImageViewer('"+Event.currentTarget.id+"');";
}
window = "_parent";
}else{
url = "Javascript: loadBookInfo('"+Event.currentTarget.id+"');";
window = "_parent";
}
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url), window);
}
To:
public function loadMedia(Event:MouseEvent):void{
var url:String;
var window:String;
//make sure it is a media item
if(Event.currentTarget.type_id < 4){
//if it isn't an image load the media player otherwise load the image with Javascript
if(Event.currentTarget.type_id != 3){
url = "Javascript: loadMediaPlayer('"+Event.currentTarget.id+"');";
}else{
url = "Javascript: loadImageViewer('"+Event.currentTarget.id+"');";
}
window = "_parent";
}else{
url = "Javascript: loadBookInfo('"+Event.currentTarget.id+"');";
window = "_parent";
}
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url), window);
}
So basically only one line changed to call a Javascript instead of a URL. This worked fine in most updated browsers so I didn't think that there was an issue in the swf, but in the Javascript. I started to test the functionality in Safari and when I clicked the MediaSelector the swf disappeared and nothing happened. Also, my MediaPlayer wouldn't load in via the IFrame. I was thinking that this was an IFrame issue with Safari, but couldn't really find any information on it. I next tried to embed the swfs directly into the page using swfObject 2.1 and couldn't get them to work. I could right click in the area where they should be and it would tell me the Flash Object was loaded, but the swfs didn't show up. So, I then thought that possibly my Flash player wasn't up to date in Safari and downloaded and installed the update for Safari and Firefox. This didn't fix any of the issues that I was having with the swfs, but it did cause some new problems:
1) Videos in the MediaPlayer play, but are not visible. The audio is audible and the progress bar updates, but I don't get any image. I used the Video class to build this player. The progress bar autohides unless you hover over where it nests. In IE, it never comes into the screen when watching a video now. It does for audio though.
2)When playing an audio clip, I used the Bitmap Class to draw a waveform and add some filters, but now that I've updated the Flash Player the wave only shows up when the audio is paused or loading.
These issues are consistent in IE, Firefox, and Safari so it must be an issue with the new Flash Player. Somebody please help me figure out what to do about this. We are going to make a launch on the website next week and I can't have it breaking when people start updating their Flash Players.
Is there any way to force the player to run in a Flash 9 compliant mode? Sorry to write a book here, but I think that an understanding of how the app works will help in finding a solution.
Dynamic Video Player Component
Does anyone know of a good dynamic video component for flash MX that will work in player 6?
I really don't want to have to build one, as I know it will take me a while as I am still learning how to make components and am at the early stage meaning the crap stage.
Thanks

Video Player For Flash Player 7
Hello all,
I haven't worked much with video in Flash so any tips appreciated. I created a small swf that streams an flv in Flash 8 and used the FLVPlayback Component. Problem is that Player 8 just isn't very wide yet so I'd like to make this Player 7 compatible. Anyone have pointers to a player component or AS that I can trake apart and make work? Thanks!
Flash Video Player
I am creating/working on a Flash MX video player. When a user selects a video, I use the LoadMovie command to load a .swf file which contains my video. I want to preloading a part of the .swf file (video) and then have it play. When this happens, the movie(the video) starts, but without sound until all the video has preloaded and then the sound plays. I don't understand what's happening.
Here is my movie: http://www.whfs.com/hfs_video4.html

Flash Video Player Help
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good flash video player tutorial. Essentiallly what I'm looking for is a tutorial that will show me how to make a custom player for movies in flash that has play, fast forward, rewind, go to end, go to beginning, and...most importantly, a progress bar that has a slider that can be moved around to change the position of the movie.
I actually already have some code that does this, which is recycled from someone at work who is no longer here. I just don't really understand it and want to start from scratch. I'm not having much luck finding relevant tutorials, so if someone could point me in the right direction I would be greatly appreciated.

Flash 8 Video Player Help
i do not use flash much and when i do i use the video player feature even less
i am almost ready to buy sqeeze because i can not get it flash to work correctly,
the video compressed fine and looks good here is my problem.
i upload the video to a server put the correct path in and make a swf if gets the video file size correctly when it reads file from the server so it is the right path but it does not load the video just a white screen
if i do a direct link the the flv file on my computer it plays just fine but i do not get the video buttons that i picked.
1. when i view as html it does not show 100% of the video it cuts it off and does not show the video player ( i have tried internal and external )
2. when i view it is SAflashplayer it defaults to like the above but if i select 100% and pull the window out i get it as the correct size. and it plays how it should look in html.
i have tried every setting that i can think of with scale and such but it always plays the same way no matter what i do.
if i bring the html file flash creates into golive and adjust it it just makes the video bigger but does not show the whole thing.
i am sure it is just me doing something wrong or i am missing a step some place any help would be great.
thanks

Flash Video Player, PHP, And XML
I'm the visual designer for a web site "Global Oneness Project" (http://www.globalonenessproject.org/videos.php ) that's currently "streaming" progressive download quicktime movies. The individual video pages (where you view a video) is currently a php template that calls a MP4 from an XML file. Our goal is to switch the embedded quicktime videos to embedded Flash videos that play progressive download movies.
Ideally I would like to create a single Flash Video player (SWF) thats embedded in a single php template (video.php), but will play different videos depending on what state of the php is being called. Basically, I want the site to work exactly like it does now but with Flash instead of Quicktime.
I'm assuming that this will be created with some combination of an external "AS" file, the XML data and the PHP logic but can't even begin to get my mind around what needs to be done.
I found a few examples of how to play multiple videos in a single player, but all of the examples use a playlist that's embedded in the SWF. The video player will only be used for player control and the user will choose the movie by selecting the correct PHP page within the HTML.
I'll be thankful for any direction you all can give or even a Flash developer who would be able to take this project on.
Thanks,
Shawn

Hello, not too sure if this is possible so thought i would post the question on here!!
I have a database full of the locations of FLV files. These files are sat on my server in certain folders.
I wish to pull out the location of these, and play them within a flash player with a playlist.
Is this possible?
Could anyone point me in the right direction?!?

Hi all,
I have just completed a fully functional flv player built using actionscript as opposed to the FLVPlayback component. For pulling in the flvs I use an xml file which is displayed in a listbox component. I have chosen a vertical display for the controls instead of the usual horizontal and have created tool tips for the volume scrubber and an altered context menu for right click.
Anyway, would be good to hear what people think, people can have the swf and xml file if they want to use on their site, no drama...

Help Me With This Flash Video Player..
Hey all..
Just wanted to say that I've been checking this forum for a while and its such a great resource..
I came across this site Psyop, and I love the way they used flash in presenting theyr movies. There is no need for a quicktime plugin or anything. So my question is how did they do it? How did they make it progressive? is it a flv or a swf file that loaded trough a flash video player? or what? and how did they skin the player?
I need to create this for a project that I'm working on, so please do help me if possible. I tried to search the web for something similar but I didnt find anything..
Thank you..

Flash Video Player
Hi, I am really new to flash video and wondering if someone can help me or give me some good ideas about the following issue (I have searched on the net, but couldn't find anything useful) or links to websites where I can find some informationa about it.
There is a website with 3 different flash video players. One is for displaying images, one for video clips which are uploaded to the website (a chat box is included) and the third one for streaming live video, just like a channel.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a flash video player which can combine the three players, so instead of three different players, that I use one, as far as I know, it is no problem to display video and image on one player, the main problem would be the live streaming channel which is embedded.
As an example http://www.mogulus.com/, is it possible to create such thing for live channel, uploaded video content & images?
Or if you have some nice idea, can you share it with me please?
Thanks & regards,
Eddie

Flash Video Player
I have a client that wants videos of their acts putting on their site. I have developed the database driven site so every act exists in the database.
How I would like the video player to work is to to have one swf flash object which a variable can be passed to it to load the specified flv video.
I have Flash CS3 installed but I am not too experienced with flash videos, I am only a beginner with flash. I have seen the flash video encoder that comes with CS3 and assume this is how I convert them into flv to be played by a player.
I have seen Wimpy Wasp (URL blocked) which looks like it does everything I want. Has anybody had any experience with this or is there anything else that can be used?
Thanks, Matt
