Flash :: Need Media Player Component

New Media Player Component
Has anyone noticed that when you add a MediaDisplay component to your movie, it adds a hefty chunk of KBs to your first frame?

I even de-selected the Linkage option from my library and moved the keyframe w/the component to the 20th frame of my timeline and the Bandwidth Profiler STILL shows 53 KBs in the 1st frame!!!

I wound up having to load external swfs w/the component embedded separately just to keep my 1st frame lite.

Whats going on here????

Media Player Component

[CS3] Media Player Component No Autostart
Okay,

I'm going insane here - I have checked the option on the component (on the stage) to not autostart - yet it autostarts the download anyways (it is set to false in the HTML as well). Driving me crazy here. Anyways, what I want is like an embedded You Tube movie, it places an icon over the start image and once the user clicks it then it starts the stream.

If I need to use Actionscript please inform me of where to place it (on the button, on the frame, etc), also of what form of AS to use. Thanks for the help.

Media Player Component For .swf Files?
The media player component in Flash is a good solution for loading and controling the playback of external .flv and .mp3 files. But is there a component or other solution that would have this same exact functionality for external SWF files? I would like to be able to dynamically load various .swf files into ONE MAIN .swf file that contains the playback controls. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Windows Media Player Or Real Player Through Flash
Not sure if this can be answered all that easily, but does anyone know of a way for streaming video to be displayed through a flash movie. My guess is that it has something to do with java script and Active X. If anyone know any possible directions I can go with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - J

Flash Player Vs Windows Media Player
Hi,
I am trying to decide between Flash and Windows Media to stream video content form a web server. I would like to go with Flash but do not want to do so at the expense of reduced video quality. My questions are:

1> Will Flash have an ability to show videos on Full Screen mode? If so, when should we expect that to happen?
2> Does Flash support variable bit rate encoding? If not, when do you think it would? How does Flash encoding compare with Windows Media encoding?
3> Besides the player being available on most browsers, does Flash have any other advantage over Windows Media Player?

HELP With Media Component
Hi all, I really appreciate everyone who will try to help me with this.

I have a video loading in a MediaPlayback component. Now, on the website I have a logo with the size of the mediaplayback player with the video inside. People can click on the picture (frame 1) and it will take them to (frame 2) where the component plays the video. Now here is the problem. *** When the video played in the component is over I would like to go back to frame 1 with the picture. I could not figure out a way to do it since it is not just an inserted video but flash component. If anyone knows how to make the component return the flash clip to frame 1 after the video in the component is over from frame 2 I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Media Player Help...
Hello, I was wondering how to create a media player (like the one that's on www.thedogandeverything.com for example - click the "launch player" link)....

The one I am making is for my own band's site, so I would want it to function pretty much as similar to that example one as possible. Obviously I want to make it as bandwidth-friendly as possible too....

I wouldn't even know where to begin, so all the help I could get would be great. Everything from the best way to load the songs and have them play, to pausing songs, to getting the next/previous track, to getting the player to "pop-up" in it's own window (like in the example site above). Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!....

My Media Player
hey everybody. seems it's been a while since i last posted. but i once return to the best of the best for help. i have a media player on my site (www.alexlaird.net) and currently it...well, it plays music. here's the dealio, i have a loading and a playback bar, what i want is that bar to be able to be dragged from the start to the end of the song and this to effect where the song currently is in playback. you know what i'm sayin'? the songs are currently in "stream" mode, so each second of the song is attached to a new frame. check out the site and click on launch mplayer for a better look at what i'm talking about. i'm also going to attach a file so you can see how i've set up all the songs to play.

along these same lines, i would also like a playback timer. this should be pretty easy, i just can't recall how to do it. starting from the beginning of the song it says "3:45" or whatever and every new frame is a new second, so i just want it to -1 on that timer. help would be AWESOME ! thanks a million fellas.

(the .fla file for the song lifehouse - you and me is about 5mb and too big to upload here. please download it from my site.)

MVC Media Player
Wondering how people would handle an MVC media player capable of playing flvs or mp3s.

Can code all the functionality fine, but can't work out the best way to build it.

Seems to me that atleast 50% of the functionality of the two media types is identical, but what is the best way to implement the differing functionality. I don't want lots switch/if/else statements.

Obviously the View and Controller can be universal(buttons, scrubber etc), but how should I implement the model. Should I create a base model which composes classes which offer the specific functionality for the media types?

Any help or ideas greatly appreciated

Media Player MP3 FLA
first question is:
does anyone know/have a good mp3 player with multiple songs?

second is:

i know it's possible with FLV but can u also make a scrubber for MP3's?

thanks in advance

Help With Mod To JW's Media Player
Hi there

I'm not an AS coder, so please excuse my n00biness

I have someone trying to mod Jeroen Wijering's Media Player

(http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player)

so that it redirects to a URL after a video has played.

He's managed to do it by hardcoding the redirect URL into the "AbstractControllers.as" source file.

The trouble with this is (as I understand it) the AS/FLAs would have to be compiled each time someone wanted to use the player with a different redirect URL.

Is there any way to achieve what I without having to recompile each time, like putting a redirect URL in an XML file?

I want to distribute the modded player with The CamStudio Project:

http://camstudio.org

I've uploaded the entire Media Player files here:

Code:
hxxp://rapidshare.com/files/74711433/jw_mp_w_redirect.zip
Before anyone asks, this player is released under the Creative Commons license, so it's OK for me to do this.

I'd really appreciate any help with this.

Thanks in advance.

I've seen some sites that incorporate a music player, where users can select a song and use the typical pause/play/next/prev controls. The music downloading is pretty seemless.

Questions:
What is the best way to preload/stream/access the music files so that the user doesn't have to wait very long before each song starts? Are there other posts in the forum that explain how best to incorporate music?

THANKS!

Media Player
hay hows it going, im realatively new to flash and need help with a media little movie player i am trying to create.

Basically, i want it so that when you click the next button, a preview image (in a sepearate mc) advances to the next in line, and vice versa for the previous button. I want a simple fade in and out animation for it as well.

Then, when you click the center button, i want the main movie to load corresponding to which preview clip is currently on display.

Could you please help, i've tried using this.nextFrame(); but it only advances 1 frame each time, so the fade doesn't work.

I'll upload the source files soon.

Thanks to ANY suggestions

Good day,

I have designed a menu page using Flash and it seems to work well.

Now my issue is, when the user clicks on a button it is SUPPOSE to open up an AVI I movie in Windows Media Player. Right now I have the movie being streamed threw an HTML page, but that doesn't appear to be working to well, so just curious if anyone knows how to get this to open in Media Player.

I have also got code that alows me to open this link up in the PARENT APPLICATION. Problem with this is, if the user changes the parent application to something like WinAMP, then it messes everything up.

Any thoughts?

Thanx for the help in advance.

Media Component Question
Hi all,

I'm working on a project which uses the LocalConnection object to control multiple flash pieces across a page. Specifically there can be an mp3 player (for the website), a single track player (for an audio page), and there can possibly be a media player component for showing video(depending on which page the user is viewing).

Everything is working so far, so good. One problemo that I am facing, however, is that if I hit play on any of the mp3 players and a video is playing, it will pause the video player. That is what I want. The issue is that I don't know how to make the button in the mediaControl component switch back to the play button. As it stands right now it will stay as a pause button. Meaning that I have to hit it twice to get video playing again. This is not what I want.

Does anyone know the proper method or property I need to use to switch the media components button back to the "play" state? I have tried
Code:
Media.activePlayControl
but that seems to only work as an "on load" type functionality. In fact I use it successfully in this regard. There just doesn't seem to be a method to actionscript that button back into a "play" state.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer me.
