CuePoints with the MediaDisplay component

Hi,
I'm curious about whether I did something wrong here or if
this is "normal". I had a problem as follows:
Situation:
-using MediaDisplay component, with fully loaded flv.
-cuePoints set at runtime before starting to play
-Everything works - cuePoint events fire during play of the
video.
Issue:
From some other event-based code, I occasionally need to
adjust the playheadTime property of the video. I observed that
whenever I did this the cuePoints between the current timecode and
the target timecode all fire. I can understand that maybe that's
useful for some purposes, but not for what I wanted. So before
changing the playheadTime property, I tried using
removeEventListener to remove the cuePoint listener before the
playheadTime change and reinstating it afterwards, but they still
fired. Has anyone else encountered this?
I was able to code a workaround (and its all working as it
should) but I just wanted to check if this was something others had
encountered. If not then I guess there's something else wrong with
my original code.

Pretty old question, but I'll try to answer.
Yes, I am getting the same error, Flash 9.0.45.0 seems to be
working for me. Is this error in IE? Opera and Firefox seem to work
for me also.

JTappedPane with the Same component

Hi,
I know that itsn't possible to put the same component in different tabs of a JTabbedPane, but i must perform this for my application, let say that i have a componenet similar to a JTable on which i can't perform all controls , only to change it's data, and I must put the same object into JTappbedPane and when selecting a tab the componenent change it's data according to the selected tab.
can any one help me to skip the JTabbedpane problem and implement this.
thanks in advance.
Regards,

From what I can see, you want to have some similar features with the table component in all the tabs. What I think you can do is to create some static fields in the table component which you'll use to store information for the table. Then in each tab create a new instance of the table component, and pass in the required data to be displayed. The static fields will be shared between the table components. That way if you have to call some data retrieval method, you only have to call the it one of the table components to get all the data for the other instances.
This will save you from having to listen to the tabs for which is selected and then change the table display.

What apps will work with the Apple Component Video cables ?????

I plan to order the Apple Component Video cables so I can watch the Netflix apps movies on my TV.
I know this app works with the cables but what else does?
The few apps I know of are:
Netflix
YouTube
included video app
but what else ?

Thanks. I did order it and it arrived yesterday. I have not done a lot but watched a couple things
with the Netflix app and I am very pleased.
The cable is only about 6 feet so I had to extend it but other than that I am pleased. Luckily, I already
had a 10' cable in the basement with connectors so now I can have my iPad where it usually is and
control things more easily.
A few more apps that work with it would be nice though. :>

Making a Jpeg gallery with the Loader component...

I'm trying to make a gallery using many loader component
thumbnail photos that present their larger image in a different
(loader component) box when rolling over with my cursor...Is this
right? Is there an easier way I can do this?
If I can do it this way easily, I'd like to. PLEASE, if
anybody has the answer let me know, thank you.

This sounds right. The nice thing is that you can replicate
the loader component and give it various instance names and just
point each one to its photo in your ActionScript.

Does the iPod Universal Dock work with the Apple Component AV Cable?

I have the iPod Universal Dock (MA045G/A) and the Apple Component AV Cable (MB128LL/B)...the ones in the original black packaging.
I had wanted to connect either my Nano 3G or my iTouch 1G to my TV, but neither would work through the docking station with the AV cable. Both did work when I tried not using the dock and connected both the Nano and the iTouch directly into the AV Cable.
My dock works great on my Computer, and I tried a second dock (same model) that I had into the TV with the AV cable and it still did not see the connection.
Is my particular iPod Universal Dock NOT COMPATIBLE with this Apple Component AV Cable (or for that matter, the Composite AV Cable-MB129LL/B)?
It's not a big deal since both do work with the AV cable by itself...it's just annoying I can't use the dock...

Are you sure it is genuine Apple cable? If you bought it on eBay or non-authorized Apple dealer it probably isn't. If it is a genuine cable, it is defective, and should be returned.
When a working genuine Apple A/V cable is plugged into iPhone, a popup appears asking if you want to enable the TV output. Since you are not getting this popup, your cable is bad.

How can i show single photos,not diaporama on TV with the AV component cable (without Apple TV)

Hi everyone
I've got an Ipad 2 and the Apple AV component cable.
I would like to show on tv only the photo which is on my ipad, but the only way i have is to start a diaporama with all my photos
How should i do to show only the one I am on the ipad
Thanks all

@Chris:
I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

MediaDisplay component and skipping mp3 audio

For several years, I've taught a class where we use the
MediaDisplay component to play back audio with cuepoints to show
students how to advance through slides using the Flash Slide
Presentation metaphor. All of a sudden, this semester, the audio
we're using OFTEN starts skipping, or actually playing the start of
the file over and over and over. Has anyone run into this. Is it a
player 9 bug? That's the only thing I can think that has changed.
Wasn't there at one time an upgrade for Flash 8 to bring in old 6-7
components that might have fixed this? I can't find that either.
Any suggestion totally appreciated. Frustrated at best.

I have the same exact problem. Anybody know what what the
problem is? I've tried choosing un-checking the "Automatically
play" in the media display component inspector and choosing "pause"
in the media controller component inspector. I've tried adding
"stopallsounds" action to the frame.
Anybody know what we're doing wrong, or not doing?

A better way to determine the current state of the FLVPlayback component?

Below is the AS3 code I have used to display images (MCs) over an instance of the FLVPlayback component. These images (one for loading, one for the title) are to appear – or disappear – according to the current state of the FLVPlayback component.
It “works,” but when testing, I have noticed that it can be rather finicky. The most common issue that arises is that many times the loadPoster movieclip will still be visible even though the video has entered the playing state.
Also, I wanted a title placeholder image to appear whenever the user stops the video or if the video completes. However, I had to add the conditional statement to the “stoppedStateEntered” case to make everything appear when expected. When the video is first viewed (and has completed buffering), it seems that the FLVPlayback component enters the stopped state before entering the playing state. Thus, the titlePoster would flash on the screen right before it and the loadPoster “should” disappear when the video begins playing.
Even in my limited testing, these issues were very easily re-created. I am definitely looking for a more reliable solution. Is there a better (or more correct) way to go about all this? If possible, I would like to stick with the FLVPlayback component, just for the simple fact of not having to code my own.
Where am I going wrong?
function updateMoviePoster(event:VideoEvent):void
                switch (event.type)
                                case "playingStateEntered":
                                                loadPoster.visible = false;
                                                titlePoster.visible = false;
                                break;
                                case "stoppedStateEntered":
                                                if (loadPoster.visible == false)
                                                                titlePoster.visible = true;
                                break;
                                case "complete":
                                                titlePoster.visible = true;
                                break;
myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, updateMoviePoster);
myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STOPPED_STATE_ENTERED, updateMoviePoster);
myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, updateMoviePoster);

Any suggestions? I would truly appreciate the help.

Is there a way to use/fix FLVPlayback skins provided with the product?

Some of the "skins" for the FLVPlayback component cannot be used as delivered in the Flash Professional CS5 package.
For instance, if you try simply to run the .swf file: MinimaSilverPlayBackSeekCounterVolMuteFull.swf in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/FLVPlayback skins/ActionScript 3.0, you get the following error message:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class fl.video::UIManager could not be found.
Such a skin cannot be used in a published application (though it will work within the Flash IDE in Test mode).
Not all the skins have this problem. However, at least all of the Minima prefixed ones do. Of course the one I wish to use is broken. Is there a way I can fix this? If I try to publish the corresponding .fla (in FLVPlayback skins/FLA/Action Script 3.0 I get "Warning: unable to load SWC FLVPlaybackAS2.swc".

Well I don't really understand the position you are taking here. Did you try to run the examples I gave?
I will be a sport, though, and back up here and explain more fully.
I had originally built a rather trivial application to experiment with the FLVPlayback component. I did this with AS-3, by the way.
As I tried different skins I found, strangely, that when I used one of the Minima ones (for instance, the one that I listed several times above), that it would run fine in the IDE in test mode, however when I ran the published application it would not run correctly. It generated instead this error message about the fl.video class not being found.
In trying to determine the cause of this, I found that this same error would be generated, just by trying to run the Minima skin (swf) in the Flash player by itself. And sure enough those skins that did NOT have the problem with my trivial app also did not generate any error when the swf was run in the Flash player.
So, as you hopefully can see, I took my application out of the equation here. The question of interest is why do some of the unmodified swf skin files generate the class not found error and can they be fixed (or is there anything I can do to fix them) so that error does not happen. I had even tried to use the original FLA file for the skin (as I described in my earlier post) and recompile it. However that caused a compile error (listed in the original post) that is indicative of some AS2 being mixed in, possibly from some sub-component.
So I guess all I was hoping for was that you would try to run the AS3 Minima...swf skin listed earlier straight from the product installation. Just run it with the Flash player. If it doesn't generate the error for you then perhaps there is something odd about my CS5 installation, or environment, or ...
If you don't want to try this, that is your perogative. Perhaps someone else can/will. Or perhaps I can submit this as a bug? (I do not know the mechanism for that)
I am not trying to be argumentative here. Rather, I have tried to isolate the issue. I don't know how else I can make this clear.

How do you change the Tree Component Icons?

Hi,
I have been trying to get to grips with the tree component. I
want to
customise it so that I can have a different icon for each
different link.
E.g. a QT logo for a video etc. If no valuse is found for the
'icon'
attribute it will just display the default.
Within my XML file I have created a new attribute for each
link called
'icon' and has a value of 'movie.gif' or something similar.
In my flash file, I have created the following code:
theTree.iconFunction = function (node:XMLNode) {
var iconNode:String = item.attributes.icon;
if (iconNode != undefined) {
return iconNode;
However, it does not seem to work. My knowledge of
ActionScript is pretty
poor so I assume I have made a mistake in there somewhere.
Can anyone help
me with this?
Thanks!

Check out the Component Reference... you change the icon for
a single node, as far as I know there's no automated process beyond
that. So assuming your tree component instance is named "theTree"
you might do this to change the icon of the first node:
theTree.dataProvider = yourXML; // make sure you don't try to
change the icon before you load data into the tree
var theNode = theTree.getTreeNodeAt(0); // the first node in
your tree
theTree.setIcon(theNode,'myIcon'); // set the icon
Where "myIcon" is a MovieClip you have in your library that
you have set the "linkage identifier" as "myIcon".
That iconFunction doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me,
because first of all I don't know why it would be attached to
theTree, and second it's referring to "item" which is not defined,
and third its taking the parameter "node" and not doing anything
with it. But perhaps there is some cool way to make a single
function which handles icons for your entire tree automatically,
that would certainly be nice.
However, like I said, as far as I know that function will do
nothing without calling tree.setIcon() in some way. I just made a
function which might do what you want -- it recursively loops
through an entire tree and sets it's icon based on the XML
attribute "icon":
function setAllIcons(branch){
for(var i in branch.childNodes){
var node = branch.getTreeNodeAt(i);
theTree.setIcon(node,node.attributes['icon']);
if(node.hasChildNodes){
setAllIcons(node);
So basically, you run setAllIcons(theTree.dataProvider) after
you have loaded and applied the XML.

Is there a way to export with the same settings as the preview files?

I really like the quality of the preview files and was wondering what settings premiere uses by default for creating these previews on a HD project. I also played the mpeg files in VLC and they look just so much better than the highest possible quality h.264 (what I usually use). I did notice however that quicktime doesn't take these files, even with the mpeg component installed.

Not sure what your question has to do in respect to Apple networking, but if you're asking can you use your Xbox 360 on a wireless network (regardless of the router's manufacturer) to access different Xbox Live! accounts, then the answer is yes.

Stumped with a custom component. Can anyone help?

I'm working on a component that I would like to have 3 dream levels plus limbo.
Oh wait, sorry...I'm mixed up. Though I do feel my issue is equally contrived and at times, frustrating to wrap my head around.
What I REALLY would like, is to make a custom component that does indeed have 3 levels, and I'm having issues with mouseover. My goal, Is to have a menu of several items, each a custom component. When a component is clicked, it "opens" into a similar menu of additional components, which in turn can be hovered over to display an image. That seems to be the easy part.
I have created each second level item (blue), that upon mouseover displays an image (green). I have combined all of those into a single custom component, (red) and made individual states for the overall component that 1) displays ONLY the red button and 2) displays the blue components with the red component disabled.
What I can't figure out is how to make ONLY the (red) item appear for mouseover and click when in the top state. What is happening at the moment is that as far as the browser is concerned, the entire component is the mouseover area. This makes it impossible to put multiple (red) items next to each other.
I've tried making the (blue) and (green) components hidden and/or disabled, but it does not seem to effect the problem. I can't make those items not "accept mouseover" because the (blue) items are in turn supposed to be buttons used to display the end (green) image.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problem? I hope I was able to describe the situation well enough. Like I said....it's kind of stupid and contrived.

WELL. After typing that whole deal out, I seem to have come across the solution myself, and it's ridiculously simple, and makes me feel the same for not figuring it out right away.
Much like everything else in Catalyst, the "accepts mouse events" can be changed for the same object in different states. So what you do is uncheck the "accepts..." box for each item while in the top state, and check it once more in the lower states. Also, the "Transparency accepts mouse" needs to be unchecked.
Simple.

IAd Producer Question about the Gallery Component

Hi,
I would like to know how to make the Gallery component to be able to loop. I understand that I can use the Carousel component, but the required design of my clients looks similar with the Gallery Component. It just have to be looping and I'm done.
Thanks in advance!
Mark

The best way is to place a Carousel object in a View object and resize the Carousel until a given cell is the same size of the View. Make sure to check the "Clips to Bounds" setting in the inspector for the View and the "Snaps to Cells" setting for the carousel.
Views are containers so drop one on the canvas then double-click it to edit its contents then drop in your Carousel.
Here's what the View (and its settings) looks like with the Carousel inside:
Here's what the Carousel (and its settings) looks like when embedded in the View and selected.

Can cuepoints be entered in any order in MediaDisplay component inspector?

I'm going to adding a LOT of cuepoints to the Flash 7
compatible MediaDisplay component using the component inspector
window, since that's the only way I can see to do it (is that
right?). After I finish inputing them, invariably I'll be adding
more that'll reside between the existing cuepoints. Can I just add
them to the end or do the cuepoints have to be listed in order of
time? It doesn't seem like the inspector lets me insert cuepoints
between two existing ones, and I'd hate to have to delete all my
work just to put in a few more. Thanks.

Thanks Rothrock. I really appreciate you help on this. I'll
look into that. Hey, since you're willing to give some advice, any
idea how to do this:
