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

Connect()
what am I doing wrong here? I take it that I cannot do the obvious thing and connect to a webserver in ths way. How can I? No attempt at a connection is made. I can use any nonsense name for host, and there is no error thrown about a lookup failure.

Help Cannot Connect To Server
I have written a client/server program by flash/vb. The flash client program was successfully connected to the server when it was run directly in the local computer. However, when the .swf was put on the web server and tried to access through the browser, it just failed to connect! Therefore, I want to ask if the function sock.connect(ip,sock) cannot work properly when it is put on a web server and browsed through ie. Anyone can help?

Thanks a lot!

Connect The Dots
I want to make a little game : connect the dots.
Using drag and drop I'm able to drag a dot into an empty circle, thereby saying : connect the first dot with the second. But now I want to draw a line independent wether the dots are correct connected. And I don't want to draw all the possibility by myself!
Any ideas how to do this ?

Remoting: Cant Connect Lately.
Hi all,

Im developing a game using flash remoting which connects to my server, but lately the remote client flash has been unable to connect when it is run from within its web page, but WILL connect if the flash .swf is run using the stand alone player.
The stand alone player does need to have the security loosened for it, but I can seem to get the browser based swf to play.

Any ideas??

It seems they have tightened the security measures within flash remoting but at the expense of flash remoting working by default??!?

Connect Scrollbar To ...?
hmm I don't know how to explain this best but I'll will give it a try.
I am currently building a mobile phone site (images of mobile phones to view).

The problem to solve is that not all thumbs of the models fit in the screen,
so I need a vertical scrollbar. The thumbs of the mobile models behave as buttons. How can I connect the scrollbar to the field of the mobile thumbs?

Can I put a movieclip behind the mobile thumbs buttons?
and have the scrollbar connect to that or?
what would you advice me to do? I am a bit lost *lol*

[F8] Best Way To Connect To A C#.NET Backend
I need to make an ad in Flash which asks a C#.NET backend for information such as product name, prices, links to pictures of products (alternatively sending a bytedata stream of the pictures from the server to the client's flash would be nice, is this possible in AS 2.0?)

Can anyone tell me what AS 1.0/2.0 objects/classes would be best suited for this task? WebServices sounds interesting, perhaps there is something else? I need to keep it limited to Flash Player 8 because Flash Player 9 is not very wide spread at the moment (so no AS 3.0!).

Thanks,

Trying To Connect To A Web Service [CS3]
I'm trying to connect a Flash interface with a web service over the company intranet, and so far having no luck at all. While I have a pretty good Flash background, my experience with other web technologies is limited. The web service, which spits back XML, has been put together by a web developer who doesn't have a lot of experience with Flash. I'm using a web service object to connect, and the URL he has given me to connect to looks like this:

"http://usdev.somedomain.com/PrintWebService/printwebservice.asmx?op=FindAllOfficesXML"

"http://usdev.somedomain.com/PrintWebService/printwebservice.asmx" is the web service itself and "FindAllOfficesXML" is the web service method.

But every example I can find of URLs for web services in Flash ends in ".wsdl". Is this significant? What would he need to do generate a web service whose path ends in ".wsdl" instead of ".asmx"?

Connect Two SWFs
Hello...
I have one browser window in which i have an SWF (SWF1) and another window with another SWF (SWF2). What i need to do is that when something is done in SWF2 it should notify in someway SWF1 so it can do some stuff. Basically i need to comunicate the two SWFs that are in different browser windows....

Any idea on how to do it???

THANKS!

SWF Won't Connect To The Internet.
I have two SWF files - one connects to the internet to get a news feed, one gets a local XML. Both accomplish it with XMLConnector.

Local file works just fine. Internet version is another story - works GREAT on my development machine, where Flash resides. The minute I put it on the web server, all other machines show the file and all animations/tweens start working, but there's no data.

Is there a security setting I need to configure that Flash configures during install? or maybe I'm missing a file or two somewhere?!

I have the latest 8.0.24.0 player on all machines and develop with Flash 8.

Did I miss some code? but if so, why does it work on my dev box?

Cannot Connect To FMS2
I just started with FMS and I tried to connect to it to test out the install.

On the serverside, I created a main.asc which contains:

application.onConnect = function(client)
{
trace("hello");
application.acceptConnection(client);
};

On the client side I just have:

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp:/appname");

I run this from the Flash CS3 environment by doing "Test Movie". I can see the trace() message in the FMS log console, but I get an Connect.Failed message on the client.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

XMLSocket.connect
I have been having some really odd issues when it comes to flash connecting to my socket server. It tends to run perfectly fine when I test my movie in flash and even when i open the swf with internet explorer. HOWEVER, when i upload the swf, it just wont connect!!! I can sit there for days and it just wont connect. Anyone have any ideas as to why it will connect when it is on a users computer but not while its on the server??

What To Put In The Connect() When Loading Flv
Hi,

This is the first time I'm trying to load flv file into my flash file.

It works fine on my local computer, but online I get the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound
at test_fla::MainTimeline/test_fla::frame1()

In all the books/tutorials/help that I looked at, I couldn't find out what should I put in the connect() statement instead of null.

Can someone please help me?

The code:

var videoConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
videoConnection.connect(null);
var videoStream:NetStream = new NetStream(videoConnection);
videoStream.play("showReel.flv");
var metaListener:Object = new Object();
metaListener.onMetaData = onMetaData;
videoStream.client = metaListener;
var video:Video = new Video();
video.attachNetStream(videoStream);
addChild(video);

function onMetaData(data:Object):void
{
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMovie);
}

function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
{
videoStream.play("showReel.flv");
}

function stopMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
{
videoStream.pause();
}

Localconnection.connect
I found this page about localconnection.connect.

I have three flash movies,

Two of which are containers.(basically empty flash movies)

I want to be able to load other movies in them with the push of buttons in
one of the navigator movies.

How would this code work? Has anyone used this before that can help me?

Connect The Dots
Is there a way to let the user (the viewer/player) draw a line from one point to another? (dot symbol to dot symbol). Just wondering--if anyone can figure it out, please post actionscript code.

Connect Error
I am using Flash 2004 MX to invoke ColdFusion MX 7 which is interrogating a MySql DataBase.

Basically in a flash movie, a form is constructed dynamically in stages. After the first stage, I interrogate the database to prevent a duplicate entry, then I allow the user to proceed with the rest of the form. Once the user finishes the form, I do another duplicate check (on a different table) and if that passes I do a record insert.

The problem I am having sometimes – not all the time, occurs between the 1st query and the 2nd (both checking for duplicates and returning a record count). When connected to CF7 locally (on my personal network), it will always work.

However, when the client (the flash movie/form) is not directly on the same network, I sometimes (intermittently) get a connection error – ONLY on the 2nd query.

Using the NetConnect Debugger, I have found that inexplicably, on some occasions, the second CF query is invoked with a ‘jsessionid’, which if present, always causes the connection to fail (apparently do to a 404 error).

The first query never has a 'jsessionid' and will always work, but sometimes, under circumstances I can not fathom or duplicate, it will randomly add this to the ConnectString and cause this error. Here is the ConnectString that is causing my error:

ConnectString: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/flashservices/gateway;jsessionid=b8305942b707IX$26$29

Can anyone help me understand why it adds this some times but not all the time? Additionally, how might I prevent the ‘jsessionid’ from causing a connect error (if possible)?

If no one can answer those things, is there someone with a quick fix?

Local Connect CS3
Here is the problem of the day with Flash CS3.

When I create a local connection in CS3 to send a message to a seperate Director application. It is unable to receive the message inside of director. Here is the exact sequence I am trying (this all worked fine in Flash 8)

1) Create Local Connection in CS3 and output as projector (have tried it both as Flash 8 file and Flash 9)
2) Create seperate file for other connection in CS3
3) Save 2nd file as Flash 8 since director doesn't understand 9
---When I now run both these files in Flash 9 Player they communicate beautifully
4) import file from step 3 into director and export projector
5) Flash is now unable to communicate with the same file that it could before it was wrapped in the director file
-- Also tried using zinc as the wrapper with identical results

Conclusions something about how CS3 is creating the Flash 8 files breakes localconnect for other applcations which can deal with flash 8. Any help or even if other people are seeing the same problem would be helpful

Only Can Connect In Localhost
Hi!
I have developed an Asp.Net + Flash 8 with Flash Remoting application. When I open the syte with this url: http://localhost/MySyte/Default.aspx the works ok. But if I open the syte with this: http://192.168.1.101/MySyte/Default.aspx the connection between Flash and asp.net doesn't work.
I use this code to create the connection:
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("/MySite/Default.aspx");
_global.GatewayConnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
DefaultNameSpace = "RominaSavastano.General";
MainService = _global.GatewayConnection.getService(DefaultNameSpace, this);
MainService.GetResources();//Call the function in Asp.Net. With "localhost" I receive answer, with "198.162.1.101" no.

Unable To Connect To FMS From Outside Of The US
I'm having a really strange problem. We set up our FMS a couple of weeks ago, and are able to stream videos. However, the person that is directing this project has been out of the country for a week. He has tested our site from his hotel in both Thailand and China, and then again last night from a computer in a large convention center. When he clicks on the playlist, the video screen just spins. At first I thought it was a bandwidth issue, but after reviewing the log files, I see that he has never established a connection. I have tested the connection from outside of our department (i.e., home computer, and various friends/family in different states) and we have no problems connecting.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening? It doesn't make sense to me that people in the US would be able to connect, but not from other countries.

I need to get this figured out. This is an education site, and we want to stream to people around the world. Can someone PLEASE help me???

but doesn't work for the remote computer, can anyone help me please? Thanks.

Cannot Connect To Server
Hi Everyone,

I have FMS3 installed on a Linux machine running Red Hat 4. I am able to connect to the admin console and it shows me that the server is running and everything looks fine. But when I try to stream video, it just wont establish a connection. I tried using fmscheck to see if I can connect. When I type:

./fmscheck --host localhost --app vod --logfile output.txt

I get this:

The admin console shows that no connection has been made and there's nothing displayed in the server log (viewed in the admin console). Also, when I restart the server and check the logs, it appears that the creation of the process mutex has failed:

Has anyone encountered this before or have any suggestions on what to try? I all out of ideas. The only thing I can think of now is to uninstall and re-install.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Cannot Connect To FMS3
I thought it was because I was placing the files in the wrong folder but that didn't seem to be the problem. How can I test the connection using the sample.flv that installed by default? My systems admin swears the firewall is open etc. etc. etc. but we are running FMS3 on a Windows 2003 server and he's a novell admin so he said he could be missing something there. Any help would be great!

Trouble is, i cannot get that to work...I have a web server setup, and i've put a crossdomain.xml file in the root, which goes like this:
