Sorenson Squeeze
Is the version of Sorenson Squeeze (Spark codec) that is included with Flash MX of a lesser quality than that which is sold separately by Sorenson?
I know that it does not contain as many features as the stand-alone version, but does it also produce video that is of lesser quality?
So far, that has been my experience. It seems kind of stupid to include a plug-in that is almost useless because the output quality is so much poorer than that produced by the $119.00 (USD) stand-alone program.

Sorenson Squeeze Help
I have a video that is 30 seconds long containing audio. When I squeeze it in Sorenson the .flv file turns out to be 30.7 seconds long when imported into my .fla. The audio stops before the video ends (no longer in sync with video). I set the Frame Rate in Sorenson at "1:1 Frames/Sec." and my .fla is set at 24/fps. Is there a solution to this problem with the audio???
I've already edited the audio by adding extra sound and have it on a seperate sound layer with the video with no sound and it works, but I would prefer to keep the audio IN the video.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Is there any reason why when I try to convert an avi file to flv, as soon as I press squeeze it, the program shuts down! :?
Sorenson Squeeze And Stiching
Hi,
I've tried using the stiching function of Sorenson Squeeze, it works great except I get a hiccup in the audio when the new file starts. The video loads quick and can handle a very large file, just getting an audio hiccup. Any ideas?
Sorenson Squeeze 4 - Is There Much Difference?
Hi folks, I am a user of sorenson squeeze 3 for flash. I was wondering is there much difference in version 4. Is it worth the upgrade?
My main concern is video quality and size. Is video quality better in the new version?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

SWF Templates For Sorenson Squeeze 3
SWF templates for Sorenson Squeeze
has anyone got a swf template for sorenson squeeze 3
just curious on how you deal with the placement of controls etc...
the supplied templates resize the swf to allow varying size of the flv movies and not sure how to do this - the rest - placement of controls is reativly easy as i just get the height and width of the smMovieClip you have to have (which the movie is put into)

Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 Metadata Problem.
I'm currently trying to find the width and height of some flv's encoded in Squeeze v4.1
They all suffer from this metadata problem. basicly this:
netSt.onMetaData = function(metadata){
trace(metadata.width+", "+metadata.height);
}
prints "480, 480", when the actual height is 320. the result is all my video is stretched into a square.
I noticed that riva flv player plays the files at the correct width and height even with the dodgy metadata, does anybody know how they do it?
Flash MX - Problem Using Sorenson Squeeze
Hi all,
I am using flash to created a cd-rom based application that may be also used via web delivery at a later date. I have 3 movies that I want to show reel. I have compressed these movies using Sorenson Squeeze into SWF's. This works fine!
I would like to load the movies as external swf's using the "loadmovie" function. The movies will load using this method, however they always appear in the top right corner of the root movie. I cannot find a way to alter the position of the loaded swf.
Normally you would use a .swf movie as a container to this, but this cannot be done here you can't access the .swf that is created using sorenson squeeze.
Anyone who has taken the time to read this.
Thankyou in advance
Sorenson Squeeze Player Templates
Hello all,
I don't know much about flash...however I am trying to convert a video to flash format for use on my website and am using Squeeze for flash 4.1 from Sorenson Media.
I'm selling a DVD and want to include a snippet for my potential customers to preview the video before purchasing, but need to make the player better as the included player templates are lacking in personality.
None of them have buffering or a 'loading movie' feature at the beginning, the players all look generic and I want a custom look for the buttons and so on...On the forums there is mention of a guide to creating custom players and mentions that it's easy, but have not managed to find a copy of this guide.
Anyone here use that software? Do you know where I can download some player templates to use? Happen to have a copy of that guide I mention handy to send?
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Sorenson Squeeze Pro + Flash Preloading
Greetings...
i recently installed Sorenson Squeeze pro just to play around and see how well it goes with Flash...
things are very good as far as compression is concerned but whenever i use the final .swf (sorenson squeeze result) and load it as an external file (loadMovie(...)) with a preloader in Flash MX 2004 the video starts playing before the preloader ends as if it is set to stream or download progressively...
i want to use sorenson pro and not the default Spark that comes with Flash whenever you import a Video source file...
any tips....? anyone?
Sorenson Squeeze Templates In Flash ?
Hello,
Looking for some help from a flash expert who is familiar with Sorenson Squeeze 4.3 Templates to design a custom movie controller template. We are encoding WMV's to SWF's with Sorenson Squeeze for this client and they would like to use a custom template other then the one s provided with Sorenson. I am by no means an expert in flash we are only a hosting company doing some batch encoding for this client.
This is what I am trying to do:

Fast Question About Sorenson Squeeze 4.2
Hello, I just got myself Sorenson Squeeze and watched the encode tutorial and I liked it a lot. But I got a little problem, In the "Format and compression settings" I cant add anything.. its this little plus button there and when I click it nothing happens. Also in the tutorial he said there was pre made settings but I dont have any... the window is clean. So what should I do now :?:
Controlling Stitched Files From Sorenson Squeeze
I know how to pause, fast forward and rewind a normal SWF, but when using the Smart Loader file for Sorenson Squeeze 4's stitched SWF files, I no longer have access to the frames of movie (or do I?).
I want to build a custom player that lets me pause, FF and REW stitched SWF's. Is it possible when using the Smart Loader file? If so, how? Thanks.
Right now, I'm loading the "smart loader" like:
_root.smMovieClip.loadMovie("filename.swf")
Sorenson Squeeze, Flash, And Alpha Channels
Does anyone know if it's possible to get alpha channels/transparency to work with Sorenson Squeeze 2.02? I did some green-screen stuff in After Effects and when I export to .swf and load into flash, all is well and the background is transparent, but when I try to do the same thing with the .avi in Sorenson, the background is always there.
Can anyone help me with this?
Sorenson Squeeze 4.0 Naming Output Question
I am compressing a large number of .swf files through Squeeze.
My question is how do you get rid of the extra name that Squeeze puts at the end of the files as it renders through a watch folder.
For example:
-If I have a preset called "Med_Size"
-And use it to compress a file called "Movie_One"
-The outputed file is called "Movie_OneMedSize001"
How do I make Squeeze not put that extra stuff at the end of the file name?
Thank You
Flash 8, Video, Compression, Sorenson Squeeze?
Here's my dilema... I run a large consumer oriented website that delivers video as .mov and wmvs. To provide a better/smoother experience for our visitors, we're considering the use of flash to display our videos.
I'm still using flash 2004mx & was considering purchasing the sorenson squeeze suite to compress the flvs. Can someone please give me the lowdown on video in Flash 8? Is Squeeze really worth $500?!
I'm leaning towards the sorenson route because I can maintain flash 7 compatibility and have great looking video. I'm reulctant to go to flash 8 (assuming it has great video output) because about 20% are still on some form of flash 7.
What's your take on this? The help is much appreciated.
thanks.

Can This Be Cleaner?
this is a movieclip that can move threw a maze of objects. if the user hits an object the movieclip jumps to frame that shows it crashing. Everything works. my question is.. can the code be cleaner or wrapped up in a function?
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(37)&& hitTest(_level0.wall)==false) {
_x=_x-4;
}
if (Key.isDown(38)&& hitTest(_level0.wall)==false) {

[F8] Is There A Cleaner Way To Do This?
This code works just fine for restricting the area I can draw in, but it seems very inefficient. Is there a better way?
Code:
onMouseMove = function () {
if (_xmouse>32 && _ymouse>32 && _xmouse<607 && _ymouse<397) {
drawingArea.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
}
};
My movie actually uses close to 100% CPU after scribbling a lot, and I think it might be this code thats doing it.

Cleaner Code
Hi all, I'm currently working on creating a simulated training flash-based presentation and I'm looking to improve my coding habits.
Part of the simulation was to create a custom cursor that functions just as any data entry cursor would. Here's where I need to improve:
The user is restricted to only entering uppercase glyphs at this point, so the cursor should only respond if a letter character is pressed. All other characters should be ignored. I've figured a method to do this, and it works just fine, but the code is very repetitive and long. I'm guessing that there is a better way to do this by referencing a list of key codes in the conditional statement, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Here's what the code looks like
Thanks

If/Else - Is There A Cleaner Code?
Hello all,
I am currently working on a flash file and I'm an intermediate user. My actionscript abilities are probably close to beginner, but I'm a quick learner (most of what I have learned with actionscript has been self taught).
In my flash file I have an animation of a rotating globe. Each frame of the rotation is a separate raster image - I don't know how you would represent a rotating globe otherwise, not really something that can be tweened (suggestions are welcome).
I have different locations off to the side of the globe. When the user mouses over a location, the globe spins to that location. When they roll out, the globe spins back to a static starting point.
I wanted the animation of the globe to be as smooth as possible, so, I have a }else{ statement for every possible frame. IE - if the globe animation is rotating back from a position and the user mouses over a new location before the animation stops, it doesn't jump back to the starting static position, it seemlessly flows from the position it is currently at to the new position the user has moused over.
Make sense?
It works flawlessly as is. I've spent quite a bit of time testing it. However, the code is bulky in appearance and according to the size report bulky in bytes as well.
Is there a differnent way to set this up to cut down on size - mainly byte size if possible?
I will include a bit of code so you can see what I'm talking about:
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 1) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(140);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 160) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(156);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 161) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(155);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 161) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(154);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 163) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(153);
and so on, and so on . . .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Cleaner Scripting
I think the code says it all. For a current project I need to use a hit area to start an animation when a mouse rolls over a _mc.
If I use the movie clip instead of a button I can simplify the script by using the first section of the attached code. In the simplified code I only have to define one over and one out state and then I can use a this statement to control the action.
For any number of _mc's I just need one set of functions.
Using buttons, each _mc needs it's own over and out definition and it's own unique set of functions.
I've tried using a bunch of if (grnMC_button.onRollOver = true) {this statements apply only to grn_mc} (not really code) but I can't find anything that works. It would be a great time saver if I could because in the final project I've got about 75 movie clips to control with over functions.
One more thing. I can't use the movie based code because the animations move out from under the buttons and the mouse over area gets big and overlaps the other "buttons". I guess I'm really looking for a way to define a hit area and still keep the code simple.
Attach Code
Movie driven _mc sample code:
˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜
// over-out definitions
grn_mc.onRollOver = over;
grn_mc.onRollOut = out;
blu_mc.onRollOver = over;
blu_mc.onRollOut = out;
red_mc.onRollOver = over;
red_mc.onRollOut = out;
// onRollOver functions
function over () {
this.overThis = true;
this.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
// onRollOut functions
function out () {
this.overThis = false;
Button driven _mc sample code:
˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜
// button definitions
grn_btn.onRollOver = over_grn;
grn_btn.onRollOut = out_grn;
blu_btn.onRollOver = over_blu;
blu_btn.onRollOut = out_blu;
red_btn.onRollOver = over_red;
red_btn.onRollOut = out_red;
// onRollOver functions
function over_grn () {
grn_mc.overThis = true;
grn_mc.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
function over_blu () {
blu_mc.overThis = true;
blu_mc.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
function over_red () {
red_mc.overThis = true;
red_mc.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
// onRollOut functions
function out_grn () {
grn_mc.overThis = false;
}
function out_blu () {

}
function out_red () {
red_mc.overThis = false;

[CS3] Help Need A Cleaner Way To Write This Array Of Buttons
Hi there,
not sure how difficult this is going to be, but I have 30 movie clips, which will all be sequentially numbered. (pos1, pos2, pos3......pos30).
They will all have the same functions, with the only change being the number.
I know there is a more efficient way to write this code using arrays, but I will need help with it. I would rather have 10 lines of code than 150.
I also need help with writing the code, that will disable all other movie clips, once the first one is clicked.
Also, not sure how tricky the javascript part will be.
Below is the code i am trying to achieve, but the long version.
PHP Code:
pos1.onRelease=function(){
this.gotoAndStop("selected");
getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',1)");
(all other buttons).enabled = false;
}
pos2.onRelease=function(){
this.gotoAndStop("selected");
getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',2)");
(all other buttons).enabled = false;
}
pos3.onRelease=function(){
this.gotoAndStop("selected");
getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',3)");
(all other buttons).enabled = false;
}
pos4.onRelease=function(){
this.gotoAndStop("selected");
getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',4)");
(all other buttons).enabled = false;
}
... all the way to
pos30.onRelease=function(){
this.gotoAndStop("selected");
getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',30)");
(all other buttons).enabled = false;
}

Flash Media Cleaner Addons
I'm looking for an add-on lilke Sorenson Squeeze for Flash, but this is a little pricey for me.
http://www.sorensonstore.com/product.../sq4mfwin.html
Does anyone know of something comparable for less? I know. You get what you pay for, but I need something to get me by while I'm learning Flash.
I'm not looking for shareware, etc. Just an inexpensive, nifty program to get me started as a newbie.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Can I just say I'm loving Flash. I just starting using it a few days ago, and I'm hooked! This is so much nicer when embedding video to webpages. Whoa!
Edit:
Does anyone know if the addon comes with Studio MX 2004? Because I plan on upgrading very soon. I definately don't want to dish out $119.00 for the addon if it ships with Macro's latest studio.

Here is the code I have:
Code:
f1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);
f2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);
f3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);
f4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);
function hoverOver(event:MouseEvent):void
{
f1.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function hoverOut(event:MouseEvent):void
{
f1.gotoAndStop(11);
}
f1.buttonMode = true;
f2.buttonMode = true;
f3.buttonMode = true;
f4.buttonMode = true;
Scripting Is Supposed Flash Movie Much Cleaner
Scripting is supposed flash movie much cleaner, there should be a straight forward way to do this.
the example we can call "test.swf"
the movie clip we will call "fade" which resides inside the library
"fade" extends over 50 frames the first 30 have a snazzy animation upon a mouse click on a button in the main menu.
I would like to use this movie clip again just starting at frame 30. My question is can you reference a frame label inside the "fade" clip from the "test.swf?"
Note tell target is usefull by adding a ../ script you can exit a movie clip. Can you preform this code to enter in a clip?
Much thanks

Sorenson Question
Is there a limit to the size of file Sorenson can handle? I'm importing a 65mb mpg, it eventually encodes and displays the editing suite, but when ANY of the control buttons are pressed it runs the entire movie over and over. Any ideas?
Sound In Sorenson
i finally got myself a copy of sorenson squeeze 4.1 for flashmx.
boy is it sweet.
i am having a bit of a problem with the sound though. pretty much i am just compressing talking heads, which look and sound fine in their original format (.mov)
i squeeze them and the images look fine but the audio becomes very tinny and the people sound like they are lisping.
this is weird because when squeezing i have "uncompressed sound" applied to the vids.
anyone know what the dealio is?
FLV: Sorenson Metadata Bug
Hi,
Some years ago, we encoded a couple of .flv's with the Sorenson pack. Unfortunately, the Sorenson pack contained one major bug, being that the injected metadata got screwed up: the width and height properties would both be set to the value of width, resulting in a square flv.
As most flv players - including mine - rely on the metadata to scale the video, this is a big one. I heard of a workaround that doesn't use metadata, but I didn't find any satisfying results.
Anyone have any experience with these kind of situations?
Thanks,

PS: Re-encoding the flv's is apparently not an option, sadly enough.
Sorenson Video Format (SV3?)
Hi,
A client wants to offer video downloads on their site. The user is to see a thumbnail still of the video which plays a few seconds of the clip on mouseover. Upon clicking the video, the user needs to then see a preview. The user then has the option to download a full MPEG of the entire video.
I proposed that the client needs to send the video to me in flv and MPEG4 format. I can then embed the flv into a flash movie with some basic scripting to produce the still -> animated rollover effect. I can also use this clip as the larger preview. I can use the MPEG4 only for those who want the full download.
However, the client has come back and said that they will provide the thumbnail in flv, the preview in SV3 (Sorenson Video format) and the full file in MPEG4.
What is Sorenson Video format? Is it actually a file format? Can it be inserted into Flash movies? Can it be controlled by actions within a Flash movie? If so, I can use it instead of flv can't I?
Thanks for any help folks...
Squeeze
Can anyone help, can I use Sorenson squeeze to compress a quick time movie as well as the compression that MX makes when importing the file?
Thanks for any help...
