Create navigation cue points in a FLV file using Media Encoder CC
When I export a FLV file with Navigation cue points created in Media Encoder CC (by loading a cue points XML file), upon examining the file I see that the cue points are recorded as Event type cue points in the metadata at the top of the file.
When I load the FLV file in Flash, I can receive cue point notifications using action script while the video is played, but cannot use seekToNavCuePoint to move the play head to one of the cue points, which accords them being Events rather than Navigation points.
I am wondering if there are any other export settings which need to be particular values in order for navigation cue points to be created properly in the exported file?
Lestyn, thanks for the verification. Took me a frantic 4 hours to arrive at the same conclusion. Do these people test their software???
Maddening.

Flash video - navigation cue points from xml?
Is it possible to load navigation cue points from an xml file
like you can
do with captions or do they always have to be embedded in the
encoding?
If it's possible, can you PLEASE point me to a resource that
shows you how?
I've searched and searched for weeks and found nothing!
Thanks,
MickeyThank you Jamesabth and GenaroRG for your responses. Someone
in the
flashcom newsgroup pointed out
http://flowplayer.org/. This
looks like
exactly what I've been looking for. I'll give it a try first.
Thanks,

Flash CS4, Using ActionScript in Buttons to go to cue points in a FLV
Hi.
I'm pretty much a Flash novice, so i don't think this question is particularly hard, it's just something that's vexing me for a few days. I know it's possible based on all the literature I've read, but I can't seem to get it done properly.
Basically, I have a video file that I rendered in FLV with 5 navigation points called 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
What I want to do is use buttons to navigate to the five cue point in the flash movie. I think that this is possible using ActionScipt 2, but I don't know what to code in the script function.
Any help would be very, very appreciated.
Thanks,
JavierHi,
The following AS2 code may help you
stop();
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
<your flv playback instance name>.addEventListener("ready", listenerObject);
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
<your button instance name>.onRelease = function () {
playback.seekToNavCuePoint("<your cue point name>");
<your flv playback instance name>.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
\\replace all the placeholder things including the < >
Also just take a look at the description at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00003003.html for more details
Thanks!

Cue Points Lost When FLV URL Is Relative
hi all
i've got an flv which i have put a cue point in at the end
(to launch a new swf when the flv is finished). everything works
fine but my contentPath displays an absolute url. when i change
this to a relative url the cuePoints field goes blank and loses the
information previously inserted.
i need to upload the swf to a proof, development and live
server so i need the url to be relative, but retain the cue point
info.
any help greatly appreciated.
;-)ok so i managed to get it working by bypassing the cue points
in the flv, putting the following actionscript into the timeline
and changing the flv contentPath to a relative location. while this
works fine for a single action at the end of the film im still
unsure what to do to retain the flv cuepoints when specifying a
relative contentPath... any ideas?!
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
// insert event-handling code here
my_FLV.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject); -
Possible to add cue points to a FLV recorded by webcam?
Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to add/inject a cue point to an FLV server-side that has been recorded/published from a users webcam using FMS3.5.
Thank youSure, you can do that on the server side. Assume you have a stream named foo that is recording, you can do something like:
var s = Stream.get("foo");
s.send("myCuepointFunction", var1, var2, var3);
When played back, the client side function "myCuepointFunction" will be invoked on the stream's client property (or, in AS2, you'd need a function on the netstream object named myCuepointFunction). -
How do I protect my FLV files? or How to encrypt and decrypt FLV files using AIR?
Hi,
I am working on an AIR application, which is developed on eLearning concept. The application mainly deals with flv files. The application contains a video player component, which will stream flv files from an Apache Server and played in my application. Here my concern is I would like to protect my flv files some how against users who may stream them from Apache Server and use them without my application.
I thought of with an idea to do it. But I don't know whether it will work or not. So I am requesting for your suggestions and better ways to do this with a sample.
Here is my thought:
I would like to place the encrypted FLV files at Apache Server side [ Need to know how to encrpt the FLV files using Flex]
As my AIR application send a request for a FLV file, the Apache server should send the decryption key and a stream of FLV file.
AIR application should take the decryption key, stream of flv file and it should capable enough to decrypt the FLV file and play it in my application. [ But I don't know how to encrypt/decrypt FLV files through flex]
I can do encryption of FLV files using Mac Address of Apache Server system and using Java. But I don't know how can I decrypt the same FLV file ( Encrypted using Mac Address and java ) at AIR application side.
So I would be greatfull If any body help me in encrypting and decrypting of FLV file with a sample using Flex 3.0.
Thanks

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32. -

Premiere Pro crashes when sending files to media encoder
Premiere Pro CC keeps crashing when sending files to Media Encoder. This is a new problem. I cleaned the cache, typed purge into terminal, checked the sharing in the preferences library and verified/repaired disk permissions. What else can I try? Help, I have urgent deadlines this week!
I am using the most updated version of PPro CC with OS 10.8.5. It seems to have issues with certain sequences and not others. It also may be the files themselves. They play fine in the program viewer and I have sent them to Media Encoder before, but if I create a new sequence with the same settings and copy the files into it, the same thing happens. I have a lot of 29.97 720x480 (1.21 pixels) and 1440x1080 (PAR 1.333) footage to edit together and create dvds out of (not my idea - it's a job) and I am in the middle of trying various ways of encoding to make it as clear as possible.
Currently I am using 1440x1080i HD anamorphic sequence settings encoding into 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic with frame blending, maximum render quality, Target bit rate of 30 VBR 2 pass. Then combining those files with other sequences into a longer 1440x1080 p HD anamorphic sequence and encoding MPEG 2-DVD NTSC widescreen progressive 100% quality, VBR 2 pass and the output is much better. This has been working, and today suddenly it stopped and started crashing. Any ideas? -

Nonsense.
Apple Compressor has been doing wmf exports for a decade. I have the Quicktime export components from Telestream and they appear as presets in Compressor. They should be available in Media Encoder or they should be importable. Adove apparently refuses to see them. Still trying to figure that out. -
Navigating from Cue Points in a FLV
I am using Flash CS3 and AS2 on a PC. I am making a CD in Flash, for a client. The CD has videos, images and text. What I need is be able to go to the next scene once an FLV has finished playing. Also if a new FLV can be loaded once the curent ends. The FLV is in the FLVPlayback component. I need to add Cue Points which I can use to navigate with. The client would prefer a minimum of buttons, and thus auto navigation once a point is reached. I am not an expert with ActionScript, so please make your answers idiot friendly. I would prefer to avoid the need for me to use third party software or add-ons unless absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance.
open the as2 help files, click on "actionscript 2.0 component language reference", click on flvplayback component and click on flvplayback class. you only need to check the following sections:
flvplayback.complete (to detect when an flv has completed play so you can start your next flv)
flvplayback.addascuepoints (to add cuepoints that you can use to navigate).
there is sample code in the help files. copy the sample code and adjust the instance name(s) to match your project. if you have any trouble, return with your code attempt and the issue. -
Cue points read from asnd files.
hello one and all,
it seems to me that asnd is a good loseless file format for soundbooth, and since that the case, shouldn't flash natively read not only the audio stream from an asnd but also its cue points, since they are also obviously stored in the asnd file also because soundbooth stores and retrieves that information from the asnd. i mean it would be good from embedded audio within flash and a lot easier then exporting to flv or xml.
can't this feature be built into cs5?
thanx, lucasUse File IO>>Advanced File Functions>>Set File Position.vi from the functions palette to set the position of the file as required.
I am curious as to why you would want to read the file multiple times; If the data in the file is not changing, it is more efficient for you to read it once.
Also, there is no device called a DAQ. DAQ drivers (NI-DAQmx is the latest version) are used to run a variety of data acquisition devices. Whether you can output your waveform at your required resolution and speed depends on what kind of data acquisition device you have. Regarding your question about data format, most boards accept data in a variety of forms. Even if your particular form is not supported, conversion is pretty easy. We need more details about the format of your data and the type of device you have to better answer this question.

Creating a Movie Symbol with Various FLV files
I am new to using video inside of Flash CS3. I have a series
of video clips that I want to play in succession. So, I created a
movie clip symbol which, byitself, plays just fine.
What I want to accomplish is a starting frame with some
words, movie clip and then an ending frame with logo.
When I try to play the movie, the words show up fine, but the
movie clip doesn't play...what happens is the first frame shows up
and then loops back to the first frame with the words....and even
though I have looping turned off, it keeps doing it (acting like it
is looping).
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to implement Actionscript?
HELP!
Thanks so much!I don't think your explanation is very clear. Can you either
be more specific or include a sample fla file? I mean, there are
questions as to are you importing flv files or embedding them, how
your time line is set up, etc. -
How do you add cue points to a MOV file that Director 12 can read?
I have just downloaded the Trial of Director 12 - and unless I can add cue points to video that it can interpret - I am not going to be able to achieve what I need to. I've spent the last day and a half looking over the scant documentation provided by Adobe, and anything else I could find online - but the only answers that came anywhere near were for old versions using discontinued xtras.
Please can anyone help? - I am using Windows 7 64 bit - CS6.
Thanks in advance. :-)Probably too late for your project but...
You can do this by using 3 sprites in addition to the SWF. In this example, I've named them "videoPlay", "videoRewind, and "videoStop". The SWF in this case was named "video."
Apply this script to each of the 3 sprites.
property mySprite
on beginSprite me
mySprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
end
on mouseUp me
case mySprite.name of
"videoPlay":
sprite("video").play()
"videoStop":
sprite("video").stop()
"videoRewind":
sprite("video").stop()
sprite("video").rewind()
end case
end -
Can't export an FLV file using FCP

because the export to FLV file is only available for users with
Flash installed on the computer....any ideas/suggestions very much

properties, the format seems to be NTSC?? -
Streaming .FLV files from Media Server 4.5 using PHDS
I would like to stream .FLV files from adobe media server 4.5.
Requirements state that the files should be considered secret, so I decided that PHDS sounds like the
right thing.
I was able to stream an .FLV by placing it in the webroot/vod folder using an url like http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However the developer manual states that a way to enable PHDS at the server level is to uncomment the two lines like this.
<IfModule jithttp_module>
<Location /hds-vod>
HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/vod"
JitFmsDirPath ".."
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption
# for this location.
EncryptionScope server
ProtectionScheme phds
</Location>
</IfModule>
However I am not able to stream my FLV using url like http://myserver/hds-vod/test.flv
Question : Am I supposed to use the hds-vod in the URL or is /vod doing the same ?
Is the approach correct, or should the files go into an applications\myapplication\media folder ?
I will need some server side actionscript to validate access to the stream, is that possible without a dedicated application ?Hi,
When you use the vod location directive you're basically using Progressive download so your URL is as : http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However, when you use the location directive hds-vod, it is HTTP Streaming, where the fragments are created on the fly. For this your URL needs to be as : http://myserver/hds-vod/test.f4v.f4m
Please note .flv files are not supported for HTTP streaming (via hds-vod location directive). You cannot use PHDS with .flv files.
Thanks,
