Calling Quicktime Player From Flash
I've been looking for a way to do this for over a week now and I've found numerous posts in here asking the same question. Finally tonight, just when I was ready to give up and start doing a bit of redesigning... I came across this link...
http://www.david.egbert.name/work/ne...nks/index.html
Has anyone tried this method to call QT Player from Flash as opposed to opening a QT movie in another browser window?
I can't deal with my server till tommorrow about the QTL MIME type thing, but if anyone can give me some pointers on what java to insert in Dreamweaver and what command to use in Flash to call it that sure would save me alot of hit & miss. There's been so many questions about this I'm sure there's alot of people who would like to know this if it works...
Thanx People!

The first approach open .qtl file from a browser and asking me to save. The second approach open quicktime on top of a browser. Instead I just want to open quicktime player only. Could someone please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Targetting Quicktime Player From Flash
My client has specifically requested the use of Quicktime as the delivery system for his videos. After a helpful tip from restlessdesign (a tip in which he was kind enough to not give me any grief for a really, really stupid error), I can display the movie in a lightbox on top of the Flash movie. This is excellent, as this is how he wants the "Normal" files delivered.
For the HD files, however, he wants the movie to automatically open in Quicktime Player, much like they do on Apple's Trailers site. This is all well and good, and is simple to do from an HTML link on a page using "TARGET=QUICKTIMEPLAYER" as a parameter. I can't, however, figure out how to make any kind of external call from Flash to include this parameter.
My googles have all turned up lots of useful information that will come in handy in the future, but nothing that seems to help me now. It is completely possible, however, that I'm a stupid-head and am using bad keywords.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Flash Button Opens QuickTime Player
Hello everyone. This is my first post but i have been using FK for a long time as a resource when learning Flash. Sorry to trouble you on New Years day, but my hangover waits for no project!
The reason for my posing is that i have come up against what should hopefully be a simple issue, i have never had to do anything like it before.
I would like to be able to open the Stand Alone QuickTime player from Flash, without it opening the QT file in the browser as per the getFile URL action. Could you guys tell me if this is this possible? If so, how could i achieve it using Flash 8. I was hoping to click a button and QT opens and plays the sound.
I have tried the many methods but still no luck, all wisdom welcome.
Happy 2007, keep up the great work.
Regards, Ray.

Quicktime & Flash. Possible To Load Into A .swf File?
Hello,
I'm new to video with flash so I'd really appreciate some help.
My client wants to be able to load a quicktime onto the flash stage but still allow the end user to download
the .mov file, basically maintain the quicktime functionality. It must be streaming video as well. We don't want to just open the .mov file in a pop up window. Is this possible?
The way the site is set up so far is I'm loading each category into level 2 of the site with all the main buttons on level 1. Once the video thumbnails load on level 2, I'd like the quicktime to load on level 2 but without converting it to a .flv.
Thanks in advance for your help!

How To Load QuickTime Movies Files In Flash 5?
Hi there,
I need to insert a couple of QuickTime movies in flash 5.
Questions>>
1) Is Flash 5 able to support QT files?
2) How do I unload the movies and play the QT files in Flash 5 WITHOUT creating anothe html file for it?
3)What sort of actionscripting is there involved?
My QT files names are "03.Uprock.mov" and "04.futurism.mov".
Should I still keep to this naming convention or should I change the files name?
I'm pulling my hair out as I can't figure it out.
Could someone please enlighten me?
Cheers,
Felicia

Load Quicktime Movie Dynamically In Flash 8
Hi,
Can we dynamically load a quicktime mov file into Flash 8 at runtime. I know that we can import a mov file to the fla timeline and use it, or convert an mov file to flv and load it dynamically using loadMovie function.
But what if I want to load quicktime mov files dynamically? My application allows users to upload quicktime mov files using Flash 8. But what when they want to view/play their uploaded files?
Is there a way to playback uploaded .mov files in Flash 8 at runtime or convert these into flv programatically??? Thanks in advance.

Opening QuickTime Player?
Does anyone know how to open a movie in QuickTime Player from a Flash website?
I've tried getURL("blah.mov", "quicktimeplayer") but it just opens the movie in a browser window. I'm thinking maybe this can be accomplished by using Javascript and having the getURL go through that or something. My Javascript/Actionscript abilities are both limited though...
The QuickTime tutorial explains:
When set, the QuickTime Plug-in will launch QuickTime Player as a helper application (if it is not already running) and opens the url of the movie file. In order for TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER" to work, there needs to be an href attribute in the embed tag which points to the movie file.
embed src="poster.mov" width="200" height="240" href="sample.mov" target="quicktimeplayer"
Thanks for any help.

Streaming Quicktime Audio Player
My client has an album of streaming .mov files (hosted on http://stream.qtv.apple.com) and wants a 'player' to stream the album within the site. I've built a dozen flash mp3 players, but have never had to deal with quicktime files.
My questions:Is it not possible to stream .mov files even if they are just audio tracks?
If I can't stream the tracks directly, can I create FLV files that stream them?
If I can't do either of the above, what are my other options (maybe this question belongs on a QT board)
Any help is appreciated.

How Do I Make Link In SWF Open Quicktime Player?
I have streaming movie embedded in html which when you click the Quicktime icon the movie opens up and plays using the quicktime media player.
http://www.madminproductions.com/pop.../movietest.htm
Is there action script which would do the same (cause movie to open in QT player when the user clicks from a button or object in my flash movie). It's important the movie streams as opposed to downloads which is what happens if you link directly the the URL of the movie using an 'on press get URL' action script.
Action script needs to emulate what the embed parameter in the HTML page does.
Can action script do this?

Quicktime Vs. Window Media Player Question
Howdy,
I have .avi files on my website that are displayed in a popup window. I used a plug-in for Dreamweaver to place the .avi file. I added an additional 16 pixels or so to the length of the .avi file to make room for the movie's windows media toolbar.
However, when someone on a mac or a pc machine in which .avi is associated with quicktime, the extra space I added for the windows media toolbar is displayed as white space. So esentially there is a white bar on the top and bottom of the movie.
What can I do so I will not have those white bars when it is open in quicktime? Is it possible to somehow change the background of the actuall .avi space?
Thanks,
mperla
p.s.: I guess this question really does not belong in a Flash forum, but it is something we could all possible deal with

Want FlashMXPro To Launch Quicktime/player W/o Browser
I have FlashMX2004Pro and I am doing a CDROM projector project. The page has buttons that launch either the quicktime player on the Mac or the Window Media Player to play video files. This all works when I test it, but before the player windows come up I get a blank, ugly Explorer window. This is the action attached to my button:
on(release){getURL("Final Mother's Day 1-2 size.mov");}
How can I get just the player windows to come up and play and no launching of Explorer?
Thanks in advance!

Embed Video (MOV) = No Need For Quicktime Player/plugins/etc.?
I need to deliver a Quicktime movie to users (it needs to be .MOV format). But I need to avoid there being a need to install Quicktime or any additional plugins.
If I import a video format into Flash and select "embed" during the importing process, does that mean the user only needs the standard Flash player enabled within their browser and do not need any plugins/codecs or the video player itself (in this case Quicktime)?
Thank you for any help!

How Much XML Can The Flash Player Load?
I have a single XML file of around 220MB.
I have devised a Flash interface that loads the XML and allows you to define filter settings, then display a summary of the results - I have tested it on files of 5MB with the same XML tag-structure, and it works.
Can anybody tell me, is there a limit to the amount of XML data the Flash Player is capable of loading?... or is the limit dependent only on the RAM in the user's computer?
Thanks.

Player Move With Command
Currently on my page, I have:
- a circle with the instance name "player"
- a square with the instance name "box"
- an input textbox with the instance name "command"
- two rectangles forming a wall, each with the instance name "wall"
What I want to do is make the player move to the box when the words "go to box" are typed into the command textbox. I also need the player to walk along the shortest route, while also avoiding any obstacles (basically just the wall).
Could someone help me out?

Flash Player 9 / Load Xml Issue
Hi all,
I've got a Flash 8 swf which reads in XML generated by ASP, as the info is pulled from a SQL Server DB. Therefore, my xml.load calls in a .asp instead of a .xml, but this was working perfectly in Flash Player 8 as the asp generated well-formed xml and Flash was happy enough with it.
It's now stopped working in Firefox with the Flash Player 9, but still works in IE with Player 9.
Does anybody have any suggestions for a quick fix or do I have to write scripts to generate an actual XML page every time someone updates the DB and read in a file with a .xml extension?
Thanks a lot!
