Help With FLVs
I've used the Flash Video Encoder to convert some alpha-keyed videos from *.mov to *.flv. What is the best way to work with these in my FLAs? Do I have to import them to the stage, or can I directly reference them from ActionScript? From what I read I can just access the *.flv files directly as long as they are in the same directory as my fla/swf.
Anyway, I'm trying to use NetConnection and loop the video like so:
ActionScript Code:
function mLoop(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
ns.play("thevideo.flv");
}
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("thevideo.flv");
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, mLoop);
I've mutilated that mLoop function and what is posted above is not working. Currently I have the flvs in the library and am trying to get them to loop, but can't get it working. What am I doing wrong?

Help With FLVs
So I have imported an FLV to my stage using flashes component. It plays fine but once the FLV is finished I want it to continue to the next frame of my timeline. I'm using CS4 and AS3.0.
I really cant find any help with this aside from AS2.0 and its driving me insane, my clients waiting impatiently for this site and its the only thing that needs to be done.
Now can I use flashes components and just use cue points to tell it when to continue to the next frame? If so, how? Every attempt I've made at this has left me with a 1046: error.
Now if I were to create my own component to play the video would this make it easier to make the video go onto the next frame?

Why Can't I See My FLVs
Even though I have the COMPONENT INSPECTOR set to "automatically play", some of my Media Playback FLVs wont play automatically. It will go to "pause" mode right away. If you click "play", all you have is audio.
Some work, and some don't. They all have the same setting. What Gives?
In need of wisdom...

FLVs, Now You See Them...now You Don't
I'm at the end of my rope!!! I have several Media Playback Components on my site. They are linked to my online web space. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. I don't change a thing. What's fustrating, is that if they worked in the first place, shouldn't they always work? Are there any bugs about media playback, or FLVs that I should know about? Please Help !!!

Have You Tried FLVs Yet?
Have you tried embedding FLV video in an swf project which has moderate to advanced performance requirements due to effects?
I'm noticing a performance drop in the swf (shows as slightly lagging frame rate). I'm trying to research if there is an option to optimize the FLV element.
Was anyone able to work it out somehow? Any tips appreciated.
I'm using AS2.

Flvs And Preloaders
i have a preloader and then about 10 frames into the movie i load an flv. i know the pleloader works fine, but once i include the flv in my fla, the page is blank for a couple of seconds then suddenly the preloader is at 100% and the flv then takes a second or two to load after all that.
Is there any way i can get the preloader to preload the flv and that whole connection process? I even have the component property set for "export in first frame".

Can FLVs Be Edited?
Using Flash 8, I've got an FLV with an alpha channel. I want to chop it up, but when I import it to the Stage, I'm told that "codec in the video file doesn't support editing".
Is there a workaround/plug-in/spell to edit this? Or do am I better off editing the original .mov?

[F8] Flvs And Loadmovie
1) What is the best way to take video shot with a movie camera, or other digital video file, and put it into flash use? Concerns being retaining audio/vido synch, and keeping quality while keeping filesize down. I would guess turning it into a flv (flash video file) and that begets question 2.
2) Is it possible to use LoadMovie directly on a flv as you would with a swf? Can a flv be "loaded" into any swf besides that which it was imported into? If not (or even if so), is it possible to LoadMovie the swf containing the flv into another swf? I have been having difficulty with these.
Thanks.
I use Flash 8 but I have the resources to get to use Flash CS3 if you think I need to.

Firefox And Flvs
Hi,
I am trying to load an flv on user click and through use of the ready listener have the flv seek to a specific time when the flv is ready. This works fine in IE but when the site is viewed in Firefox - the flv does not seek to the appropriate time but instead plays from the beginning of the flv. Any input into why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Editing FLVs
I need an application to edit an FLV without re - encoding it.
I.E. - Cut a 30 second segment out of a 2 minute file, and then saving the FLV without re - encoding.
I've tried Movica, digitaldub, and many others with no luck...
Any ideas? Suggestions? Help? Thanks.

How To Play Flvs?
morning!
I am hoping that someone can tell me what I need to do to get external flv's to play in my swf.
at present it uses just images (the settings are set using xml) - there is a sort of video wall effect that the user can double click on and the larger image appears as full screen.
this works great.
So, i need to add flv to the zoom/larger image presetation. So if i change the xml to ref the flv as opposed to a jpg/png - compile - the wall works fine but then I double click the thumbnail for the flv - the main wall disapears the loader appears - loads the flv (i can see it in the activity window) 100% but then it all freezes and nothing plays...
from the flash output error pane i get this message:
Quote:
## [Tweener] Error: [object Thumbloader] raised an error while executing the 'onComplete'handler.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
which makes sense as flvs' and jpgs are two very different things.
so i need to know how to get it to play the flv.
From my .as file that seems to run things I have this at the start:
PHP Code:
* IMPORT FLASH
* _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*
*/
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.geom.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
no refs to video or netstream etc... but as someone pretty new to as3 i don't know if this is where i make these refs - i 'think' it must be - but not 100% - and even less sure what I need to add
the main class also includes all of the ref's to the 'largeimage' which is where i need the flv to play instead of the jpg in a large format.
PHP Code:
/**
* FUNCTION
* _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*
* show large image.
* @param none
*
*/
private function showLargeImage():void
{
/**
* fade in controlpanel.
*
*/
Tweener.addTween(panel, { _autoAlpha:1, time:0.5, delay:1.5 } );
/**
* get large image instance as bitmap from loader queue.
*
*/
largeImage = largeImageLoader.getBitmap("largeimage") as Bitmap;
/**
* calculate image size for scaling images.
*
*/
var xscaler:Number = (1 / largeImage.width) * stage.stageWidth;
largeImage.scaleX = xscaler;
largeImage.scaleY = xscaler;
now I am wondering if i need to write out the above changing all refs to "largeimage" into "video" but also am not sure if the above refs to bitmap need to be changed to netstream or something - the project originally was mainly static/jpgs but now it going to be pretty much 100% flv's - so should i make the changes to the materials for the "largeimage" and add netstream to initial flash import or does the above need to remain the same and a whole extra 'flv' specific block of code need writing and adding?
largeimage is also ref'd in the vars:
PHP Code:
private var largeImageLoader:BulkLoader;
private var loadedArray:Array;
private var largeImage:Bitmap;
private var largeImageItem:String;
would that be changed to netstream etc.. too or (again) would i need to add an additional block of vars?
Sorry this is so damn long winded i have tried to keep it as concise as possible - so please forgive me if i have now rendered you comatose - but i really am struggling here - anyone able to put me right or point me in the direction of a good starting point to get this working?
hope so any help will be much appreciated amigos

Streaming Flvs'
Hello,
I am using a streaming server to externally stream 5 FLV’s which I would like to play one after another within a SWF. I have worked out how to load and play the first flv but am struggling to find out how to unload the first flv and load and play the others in sequence.
I am looking for a tutorial, action script or advice on the best way to carry this out, any help would be appreciated.

FLVs Loading In Odd Way
I recently built this little site.
When the user first goes to the Videos page, they will see a "loading" movie clip that I created. It's just a clip I created until the video starts playing. The video is supposed to start right away.
Here's the thing--the other videos will play as soon as you click on them. For some reason this first one doesn't. I'm using FLVPlayback.play() for all of them. Oddly, the first video doesn't play until the second video is completely downloaded.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Multiple Flvs
Hi,
I am trying to load multiple flv's ifrom one swf. I found this in a previous thread, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
// Create a NetConnection object:
myNC = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection:
myNC.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object
myStream = new NetStream(myNC);
//define an onStatus() function:
myStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
//if the current video has finished
if (infoObject.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
//check to see if its the last file
if (current == 8) {
//this would load the next movie as specified in the linked post
_level0.loadNew ();
} else {
//if its not the last video
//increment current
current++;
//play the new file
netStream.play(current+".flv");
}
}
};
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object:
my_video.attachVideo(netStream);
// Set the buffer time:
//This method takes a single parameter that indicates the number of seconds of the FLV stream to download before playback begins.
netStream.setBufferTime(2);
//create a variable which will reference the current video
current=1;
//start playing the first flv
netStream.play(current+".flv");

Problems With FLVs In IE 6 & 7
Hello,
I am having some issues with my FLVs still loading after they have been replaced with another.
This site (www.southeastdentalgroup.com) has movies that are all FLVs. In IE 6 or 7, you can only click 2 movies. Then nothing else loads until ONE of those FLV's have finished loading.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

String Many Flvs In A Swf?
Is there an easy way to call on successive flv files (6 different movies) within a swf file? Is there an easy explaination? I'm setting up a touch-screen kiosk that will have a "splash" screen of 6 different videos (30-second commercials). If a person clicks on the screen (entire button), it will jump to the "main section." I have the main section swf, but am having trouble connecting the 6 separate flv files in a single .fla file..... Yes, I've searched the forums... must be missing something!

FLVs And Cue Points
Hello ALL,

Im trying to get a flv video to go to and stop at a cuepoint when the video ends.
Im trying to just have the video end on a frame in the middle of the flv.
Im having trouble finding actionscript to do this. Is there another way to choose what frame it shows when the flv is done?

FLVs Have No Audio
Since questions are rarely answered (or perhaps even read) in the Flash Media Encoder forum, I'll try again here...
None of my FLVs, created with my Flash Media Encoder, produce any audio at all. However, other FLVs given to me play in my SWF just fine with audio. So, I know the problem lies within my encoding process.
Anyone suspect what I'm missing? The app's documentation has no troubleshooting advice regarding audio issues.

Editing FLVs?
I need to be able to edit FLVs. I don't need to do much--split some files in half, and resize them to smaller dimensions--so my needs aren't terribly sophisticated. I have Premiere Pro but have noticed that it can't open FLV files. (I found a plug-in allegedly able to get around this restriction, but it appears that it's Windows-only and I'm on a Mac.)
Anybody know of a good solution for simple FLV editing?

Looped Flvs
Hi
I really hope someone can help me with this one! I've been trying to loop several embedded flv files in one flash document. I've found some really useful script that works when applied to one flv file in the document, however I don't really know how to adjust the actionscript so that it applies to the other three flv files on the page. Here's a copy of the script –
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl = clip1;
var flvSource = "1.flv";
// Loop the video when it completes
function completeHandler(event:VideoEvent):void
{
flvControl.seek(0);
flvControl.play()
}
flvControl.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
I thought it would be something simple like adding "2.flv, 3.flv, 4.flv etc.."
thanks in advance!!!!

Can You Use Multiple FLVs?
Hi,
I want to use multiple FLVs using Flash 8. The problem I've seen is when I import a 2nd FLV the attributes of the first FLV I imported change. For example, I have a skin on the first one but not the 2nd one. When I import the 2nd one the first FLV disappears. I tried importing it again, first renaming FLVPlayback to FLVPlayback2. The skin is now gone and I get the following error message when I test the movie:
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'FLVPlayback' was already assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback2', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
I am progressively downloading the FLVs from my web server.
Thanks for any help,
Scott

Corrupted Flvs
I converted a large number of wmvs into flv with Sorenson Squeeze a while back. We're using FMS to stream them and everything has been working fine until today. Now all of a sudden almost all of the flvs won't advance the video. The first frame comes up and no matter where you go in the timeline/playhead the video never changes. I've opened the flvs in other players (not using the fms streaming) and when I try to move to a point in time on the timeline it jerks back to the beginning. If I can get it to go to another point in time the video doesn't change. Is there a reason this could be happening that I can look for? Thanks.

Querystrings And FLVs
hi everyone,
im trying to link a html querystring into my flash swf to select the appropriate video.
the links on the page are like page.php?v=filename
so when it calls the page i retrieve the querystring with:
<?php
$v=$_REQUEST['v'];
?>
then my swf embed code is as follows:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="400" height="300" id="video" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="video.swf?v=<?php echo $v;?>" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="video.swf?v=<?php echo $v;?>" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="400" height="300" name="video" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
then the code in the first (and only) frame of my flash file is:
if (v = ""){
video.contentPath="drugs.flv";
}else{
video.contentPath=v + ".flv";
}
of course the flv component is called "video"
it simply does not work as you can see if you go to www.monkeyspoon.co.uk/video.php

Linked FLVs
Have you all come across the games on www.wedigtv.com?
I'm making a similar thing using clips from a TV quiz show. I've exported the video clips from Final Cut Pro ready for importing into Flash.
The clips are to be linked together in order with various interactions pausing it. i.e. a question is asked, time is given for you to click the answer and then the next clip is played. Sometimes clips will just run into each other.
What is the best way to make this a smooth transition? I have tried setting a cue point at the very end of a clip and then making actionscript move to another frame on the timeline with another video in place. But there is always a pause between the clips, so it never looks smooth. I would like to do as much of it as possible using actionscript so that I can play certain clips for user's answers i.e. based on if they get the answer right or wrong.
Are there any sites that talk about linked FLVs in a smooth and interactive way? Like wedigtv!
I'd be really grateful for any help anyone can offer.

Cache Flvs?
Hi there,
I'm working on a flash projector that is an interactive video player.. this means it needs to play an flv (from harddrive - not over web) and when the flv completes load the next flv to play continuously. (the next flv could be one of several possibilities - which one is decided dynamically)
The problem is I am getting a glitchy black frame between the two flvs.. which must caused by the time it takes for the second flv to load into memory.
Can anyone suggest ways of preloading or caching the upcoming flvs to avoid this glitch..
the only way I can think of is to have two players, one behind the other, and to swap the visibility of the two players when the videos complete. But it is not a very elegant solution! Is there any better ideas out there?
Many thanks!

RealPlayer And Flvs
I don't use realPlayer so I was hoping some of you might. The newest version allows you do download videos. Is there a way to prevent the downloading and saving of flash flv files?

Playing FLVs On The Net
hi there
i am using the flash cs3 encoder to get my video files into flv format. no probs there. i am able to put the vid controls on the movie and play them as an swf. the swf plays and i can control the movie. no probs there.
the problem arises when i play it on the net. i am able to play the movie but the movie controls do not appear. is there a way i can get them to appear at all?
i am embedding my swf in a page therefore am not plying the html file at all. i am uploading the SteelExternalAll.swf, the flv and the banner.swf that has the flv in it. i control the start of the movie from within the flash file on frame 1. the movie is on frame 2 and the 'watch again' button is on frame 3. i have a wait funtion that is called in frame 2 that is the duration of the movie plus a few seconds just incase of a lil lag.
the scripting is ok. its jus that the flv controls dont show when i view the swf on the net. inside flash all is well. i see the controls etc
how do i get the controls up on the net to show with the flv that plays?

Safari & FLVs
I noticed that my FLV files don't play in Safari. I found that the following under "Installed plug-ins" :
"Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79 — from file “Shockwave Flash NP-PPC"
Is Flash player 7 required to use the new Media components in MX Pro??
If not, why does Safari not play my FLVs??
example site: http//www.brendonblake.com (look under "Television")

Transparent FLVs
is there a way to have Flash import an flv video so that portion of the video has an alpha channel, therefore the contents from the flash movie underneath of the video shows? Can flvs support alpha regions?

2 FLVs In 1 SWF Simultaneously
Hiya,
I was wondering...I have a bunch of FLVs already encoded. I would like to have a logo type FLV that I can OVERLAY on the original FLV during playback...and that can be controlled using the scrubber. Meaning, the SWF loads...and BOTH the flv are playing...one is the background video and the other is the 'logo' overlay video on a transparent BG. Now, the overlay FLV would be set up so that is visible for 2 secs then it goes away. It would become visible again during the final 2 secs of the video...the background FLV. But, if the user scrubs back to the beginning of the video...the overlay would be visible again...for two secs. I dunno if I have to set it up so that everytime the scrubber is moved...then the user sees the overlay, that would be ok I guess. The video are shortish, so there should be no need to scrub very much.
I just want to make sure that the first TWO secs and the last TWO secs of the background FLV are covered by the logo...at all times, no matter if the playhead is scrubbed or the video has finished playing and the user restarts, whatever.
Ooof, I know...lots to ask.
Please help! lol

SlideShows And Streaming FLVs
Hello, ive currently been experimentnig with streaming movies and hooking them up to corispond with slide shows (so as the movie plays, certain pictures in a slide show also go along at pre-cued spots), but i hav a few questions since im just learning this.
1. When i make the slide show, and hook it to the movie, i cant control the movie... i cant stop it, or manipulate it in any way... Once i play the swf, the presentation goes... how do i stop/start it/ limit it in some way? Id like it to be that it starts on a splash page, and then you click play and then it starts. Any idea how to do this?
2. Also on another issue, i dont knw much about javaScript... Anyone know a way to check the version of flash, and if it isnt version 7, go to another http address?
Thanks a ton fo the help =)
Ely
