Automatic pause on flash video

im working on a flash player that is almost the way i want
it. the only problem is that the video "stutters" when it gets to
the edge of the download instead of pausing like most players do.
http://www.churchillstudios.com
.... under "what we do"
How do I achieve this?

My only suggestion is to increase the buffer time so that the
player doesn't get to the edge of the download bar.

Pause a Flash video in a SWF

Hey,
What's the Lingo to pause a SWF with Flash video embedded? I
just
imported a video into Flash 8, exported it as a SWF. Now
imported into
Director. Want a button to pause, and resume. No other things
needed at
this stage.
Thanks heaps.

How to *not* automatically download flash video

Hi,
I can't get my Flash video to *not* start downloading when I access my page.
The problem page is - http://www.camerawallihpictures.com/reel.php
There are six videos on this page. When I access it, all the videos start to download - the progress bar on all videos shows the downloading.
They don't start playing, they just download.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks in advance for you help!
Josh

Thanks for your interest.
Yes, the flvplayback compenent.
I created the flv file with adobe media encoder, then went through the standard File > Import > Import Video method.
I've set both the autoPlay parameter to false and set the HTML Publish Setting "Paused at Start" to false.
Note - Even though automatically *playing* is not really the problem, I've set both those to 'false'. Actually, the autoPlay functionality works properly for me whether true or false.
I'm using CS5.
Here's the html
            <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

Firefox returns to regular view when I pause a fullscreen flash video

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with Firefox.
Whenever I view a flash video fullscreen and then I pause it, it switches off to regular view after a few seconds. Safari or *shudder* Chrome doesn't do this at all.
Anyone know why its doing this?
P.S. I tried disabling ALL of my addons but it still has that problem. I even tried reinstalling Firefox while deleting the old one and starting from scratch....that didn't go over so well either. Wish I saved my bookmarks at least. ouch...

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Flash videos (like YouTube) reload automatically when opened

Videos played in Firefox, particularly flash videos like on YouTube, always reload automatically when I focus on them. For example, I open a video in a new tab to let it pre-load or begin to play it, then when I click on the tab to watch the video it will reload, defeating the point of the pre-load buffer. This happens on all flash video websites and is particularly annoying when multiple windows are buffering.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How to add a toggle play/pause button for a flash video

Hi,
Can someone help me with this flash video. I am creating a
custom video controllers and I need to have a toggle play and pause
button. How would do I go about that. I tried to use it on a play
button and the video pauses and play, but I need to get the pause
image and play image in there. So, can anyone give me the code for
that . I really appreciate it.
Thanks

this is not truly an event driven state machine....
too many loops
data flow dependencies
wrong use of boolean controls
not a true state machine

Elements 12 video player automatically pauses & video time line

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to use Premier elements 12 to do a few things & cannot find the answer to a few questions I have & was hoping someone could help me
1) When using the elements video player (one built in) if I start to play a video, it's automatically pauses after about 7 seconds. Is there a way to have it not auto pause?
2) When I bring in a video & look at the "Video1" bar, I notice the video only shows for about 30 seconds & then there is a blue space. How do I get the video clip to show thru out (in the Video1 bar) ?
Thanks

TheMayor
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Could use that information if we get into any computer specific Q&A details.
I think that we need to start with
a. What are the properties of what you are importing into your project, such as...
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
We need that information as it relates to the next question. We could direct you to video audio properties readout program for the information but let us try to get the necessary information from knowledge of the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
b. What is the project preset that you or the program is setting to match the properties of the source video?
(See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and tell us what you see for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, Pixel Aspect Ratio - even if the
fields look grayed out).
c. When you are playing your Timeline content in the Edit area monitor is there an orange line over its content.
d. To the left of the name "Video 1" is a filmstrip icon. That represents the video display style. It has 4 different display types. You toggle to get the display type that you want - assumed the one where video thumbnails populate the whole Timeline clip's duration. That is the display type which is seen in the above screenshot. So, one click at a time on the filmstrip icon until you get the preferred video display style. The audio tracks also have display styles - only two different ones not four like the video display style. (For audio, see the speaker icon to the left of the name "Audio 1")
Please review, consider, and supply the necessary information. Then we will sort through the details to discover the core of your reported issue.
Thank you.

All Flash Videos Pause - Mac OSX 10.7.3 - Flash 11.2.202.228

Hello,
I never imagined myself joining the Adobe Forum to troubleshoot an answer. I've combed the FAQ and forums searching for an answer but I'm coming up short. I've googled several search items and have also come up empy. (I'm an IT Tech with more Windows oriented troublehsooting and learning Macs pretty quickly)
I have a Gen 1 MacBook Air that I've come across - Doing so I've wiped the drive and installed a new copy of Lion 10.7.3, all software up-to-date.
Since I've installed flash I haven't had one smooth experience watching a single flash video. I've also installed Google Chrome and come up with the same annoying glitch:
My videos buffer absolutetly fine (regardless of what internet i'm connected to). I hit play and it runs for about 5 seconds then pauses... then I hit the play button and nothing happens. I have to skip back using the bar for the video to start playing again...same process happens repeatidily. It now plays for 1 or 2 seconds if that and pauses.
On all my home PC's flash runs fine and I can browse youtube without any hesitiation, etc. I aslo have a MacMini (used as a media server) that also had a fresh Lion install and runs flash absolutelty fine with the most up-to-date version.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong with it. I've run all the troubleshooting from Adobe's Help (Clean uninstall/reinstall, adjust the global settings, cleared all cache, wipe history, etc.)
I'm looking for any insight in fixing this issue. The purpose of me acquring this macbook air for entertainment purposes on my daily commute seems to have gone without being able to fully utilize my WiFi hotspot and the macbook air.
I truly don't believe it's a hardware related issue. It's a 1.6ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB of memory. I've seen far worse windows machines running flash without any issue. P4 1.5ghz 512mb ram..etc.
Thanks for any help you can provide. If there is a way to download older versions of Flash off of here to troubleshoot, that is something I'd like to try but haven't come across.
-Michael

Hi Michael,
Let's try going back to older versions of the player to determine if we've got a new bug against 11.2. I'd recommend running through the clean install steps (or at least running the stand alone uninstaller), then installing 11.1.102.63 (unzip and locate the dmg). After testing that, run the uninstaller again and then go back to 10.3.183.18. Finally, I'd also recommend trying out 11.3 beta out to see if it occurs there too.
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Video Not Paused At Start

Hi there
I'm trying to publish a flash video to the web but even
though I've ticked the "paused at start" option in the publish

I've also tried adding various things such as
autoplay='false', autostart='false' etc. but no joy.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please??
Thanks!

Automatic graphics switching & Flash 10.1 breaks fullscreen video?

Hi,
I'm on a new i5 MBP and I'm running the latest version of Flash. When I have Automatic graphics switching on and hardware acceleration on in Flash, fullscreen video looks jerky. If I turn AGS off OR turn hardware acceleration off, fullscreen video looks smooth.
What's going on here?

In a nutshell, the discreet Nvidia chip supports hardware acceleration in flash, the integrated chip does not.
For reasons i'm not quite sure of, either Flash, and Automatic Graphics Switching do not really work well together. My guess is that Flash reads the information from the Nvidia Chip (ie that it supports hardware acceleration) and allows the feature to be enabled, but then the apple software does not switch to the Hardware Accelerated chip, because, i guess, it believes that the Intel chip should be sufficient for the job.
In my experience, forcing the MBP to use the Nvidia chip, and leaving hardware acceleration on provides slightly better battery life when playing supported videos, but, of course unless you remember to re-enable Automatic Graphic Switching again when you're done, it'll kill your battery life later, so I find it safer, unless I am watching a, say, 3 hour long flash video to disable H.A. In flash, and hope that, between them, Apple and Adobe can work this one out... though given their public disagreements over Flash, this could be wishful thinking.
With HA disabled, you are in no worse a position than you were a few months ago before "Gala" came around, so it's not so bad.

My iPod automatically pauses the videos whenever I press play. How can I fix it?

My iPod automatically pauses the videos whenever I press play. How can I fix it?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Flash Player 9 Won't Pause Flash Video Files

We have recently upgraded all our computers to Flash Player
version 9 and have noticed that, while it will allow us to pause an
flv video (such as the podcasts on Photoshopusertv.com), it won't
continue through the rest of the program after hitting the play
button but instead insists on starting the show from the beginning
each time. Very frustrating. Does anyone know of a workaround for
this or a solution? Will we have to wait for the next version?

Flash 8 caused me 2 months of work after it
installed itself on my old computer. I couldn't fix it and bought a
new computer with XP, hoping to get around the problems I had with
ActiveX and Flash crashing IE. The new one worked for a month or
two, and then something went wrong and I started having Flash
objects crash IE. I uninstalled Flash and said the heck with it. I
guess I am one of the few idiots here that can't get Flash to work
properly. I spent days on uninstalling, reinstalling, buying
antivirus software, altering the registry on Adobe advice, all ot
no avail on my old computer. I will resist until necessary making
Flash work on my new machine. I'll have to pay someone to install
it. I won't go through that again. The Flash - Windows - IE
compatibility problem sucks bad. Nobody can reproduce the problems
I have. On two machines in a row. What are the odds? I check back
here every few months to see if something has improved. In 8 months
I see no improvement.

Streaming flash video will not play automatically. Must move the mouse off the link

I have 4 computers, all running Win7. On every one, Internet explorer. 2 have firefox 3. 2 have firefox 4. When clicking a link on a website that has live streaming video (flash) - the stream changes to the next one and the video feed begins right away. Works fine on all 4 computers in IE, and in both Firefox 3. The video starts when the mouse is clicked, or when the screen is refreshed. On both computers with firefox4 - the mouse click loads the new feed, but the video hangs on a white screen until the mouse pointer moves. same problem when the feeds are set to auto-rotate. they load every 30 seconds, but unless I physically move the mouse, no video plays (or click the 'next feed' button again, which gives a split-second peek at the video feed I am navigating away from), I need to monitor many security cameras, and this is excruciating. Safe mode does not help. I have the newest versions of everything. please tell me this is a bug and not someone's bright idea

Re: All Flash Videos Pause - Mac OSX 10.7.3 - Flash 11.2.202.228

I am having a similar problem. I need to watch flash videos for an online class. Whenever I select the video the window opens in QuickTime, readjusts, loads, freezes on the first frame, but the sound continues playing. This happens in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. My laptop is a MacBook Pro and my operating system is OS Lion 10.7 and I have all the updated software. Please beware, I'm not as tech savvy as everyone else here so I may ask ridiculous questions!

I branched this to a new topic as it sounded like something different than the original post.
You mention that your flash videos are opening with QuickTime. Are you sure these are Flash videos and not QuickTime videos? Do you have a URL we can take a look at to see this problem?
Thanks,
Chris

How do I prevent flash videos from automatically playing?

Whenever I open a new link to youtube, collegehumor, various tv websites, etc. firefox always automatically starts playing the video even before i even look at that tab. Sometimes when firefox freezes I have a few video tabs open and when it starts back up, a few videos start playing at once.
Is there a way to turn this off? I'd like to manually control when these videos play.

Using [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 Flashblock] solves that.
