Flash Cs3 - Looping Video

I am very new to Flash, and only need it to do 1 function so
I am really trying to keep this as simple as possible. Basically
here is a quick rundown of my scenario...I imported a dv video
file, and placed a pct graphic on top, which is acting as my
watermark. This is a demo reel that I want to loop on my homepage,
and need to make sure that the pct stays on top of the video when
it loops.
I tried creating a new layer and using an ActionScript as
described
here
but I can't seem to get it to work.
Anyone have any ideas? Again, the only items in my flash file
are a graphic on top of a 1:00 video clip, and I just want it to
continuously loop. Thanks so much!

Use actionscript 2.0 and this technique:
Give FLVplayback component instance name of vid.
Add this code to the timeline:
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
vid.play();
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();

  • Flash CS3 import Video playback appears half black

    Hello everybody,
    I hope you could help me.
    This problem occurs when a file becomes. wmv to .swf, using Adobe Flash CS3 import video feature. (Windows 7 Professional x64)
    At the end is a video (codec On2's VP6.2) which appears a black band at the top half. I reinstalled the entire CS3 suite, but the problem persists.
    Could you give me some advices for this?
    Thank you in advace.

  • Help! Can't play online videos in Adobe Flash CS3/ CS4.

    Hi everyone,
    I am not able to play online videos in Adobe Flash CS3/ CS4. Reinstalled, changed computer, the same. But I could play just a month ago. Any idea what could have happened to my Adobe Flash CS3/ computer  or any other source please?
    Many thanks

    Thanks for the help guys.
    Clearing the cache didn't work, but removing the Youtube cookie and restarting firefox did. I can now switch to Hi-def again

  • Audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping

    audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping
    help stopping the FLVPlayback instance (which has an instance
    name of theVideo) when another button is clicked!
    How do I stop flv playback when user clicks a navigation
    button ...
    Excuse me in advance for asking about a topic that may be
    very popular!
    I'm using the attached code to go from the main stage to one
    subset of .swf files (loaded movies) and I apparently have no
    problems with overlapping. Hell, the files even seem to unload
    themselves correctly. Then, when I go to my second subset of .swf
    files (with the exact same AS3 structure), which has a Flash Video
    file (made by the FLV Playback component), I get into an
    overlapping problem associated with the audio.
    How can I stop, cancel, or unload the audio when the file is
    clicked away from (the user selects another button on the main
    stage)?
    Code attached. Please let me know if anything else is needed.
    Yours Sincerely,
    Jntspecialty

    I have tried to clean up code and do this right.
    I need help referencing (storing the value in the variable
    "stopsoundoverlapReq") the "flvplayback instance AFTER theVideo is
    instantiated (ie, the frame that contains theVideo has rendered)"
    correctly.
    Also, now I need help with the name of my nav bar button's
    method followed by parentheses, which should include the
    appropriate method parameter.
    On my main timeline, I tried to clean up the code and use:
    var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
    stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
    Then for my nav bar button on this same timeline use:
    any_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopsoundoverlap);
    function stopsoundoverlap(event:MouseEvent):void
    stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
    The 3 errors I get now are :
    1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
    FLVPlayback. var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
    stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
    1061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a
    reference with static type Function.
    stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
    1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
    var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
    stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");

  • Loop then stop Flash CS3 vs Flash CS5

    I recently upgraded from Flash CS3 to CS5. I'm creating a banner in Flash CS5 using ActionScript 2.0. I want it to loop 3 times then stop. I'm using the same code as I did in CS3. When I view it using Flash Player, its fine but my client is saying it loops continuously when they view it. Has the code changed since CS3? Here is the code I'm currently using:
    ON FIRST FRAME I ENTERED:
    var count;
    if(!count){
         count = 0;
     THEN ON THE LAST FRAME I ENTERED:  
    count += 1;
    if(count == 3){
    stop();
    I'm Action Script challenged, so please be specific. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello kglad,
    Thanks for confirming that the script was fine. Seems like there was something wrong with the swf file, not the script. Thanks for ruling out the script as the problem source.

  • Problem in Flash CS3 video Encoder

    Hi,
    I am experiencing a bug in the Flash CS3 Video encoder. I
    have saved an XML file with settings that I will be using for
    numerous video. I have basically set the Data Rate, Frame Rate, Key
    Frame Interval, Audio and Video Size. The frame rate is set to
    14.98.
    When I load the profile that I have saved, the frame rate
    stays at 14.98, but if i hit ok, and then click on the settings
    again to modify them, the frame rate goes to 'same as source' and
    does not stay at 14.98. If I change the frame rate to 14.98 at this
    point, it sticks. My question is, why does it go to 'same as
    source', and it concerns me, that if I do not manually go in and
    change the settings back to 14.98, is it encoding the video at its
    current frame rate.
    Here is the XML file I use for encoding:

    It appears that the <FrameRate></FrameRate> node
    is only saved to the XML file if you choose something other than
    "Same as source". However, it's always a non-standard value.
    Evidently, if you are creating your own <FrameRate> value in
    a custom XML setting file, you need to multiply the frame rate by
    65536. For example, if you want 24 fps in the profile, your XML
    should look like the code snippet below.

  • Flash CS3 Video Encoder: No preview

    [note: I posted this earlier in the Flash Media Encoder forum
    -- which I thought was the same product as the video encoder.
    Apparently it is not! I did not see a forum specific to the video
    encoder, so I'm posting here.]
    Greetings.
    I'm getting no video preview in the Flash CS3 Video Encoder
    when attempting to adjust settings. I can scrub back and forth and
    set cue points, but the entire video preview is black. I've tried
    several source files encoded with several different Quicktime
    codecs and in a few different formats including .mov and .mp4 -- no
    difference. The source files play fine and actually encode just
    fine with the encoder, but the lack of preview to adjust cropping
    and other setting is non-optimal, to say the least.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?
    Here's my setup:
    -- PowerMac Dual-Core 2x2.66 GHz Intel Xeon
    -- 30-inch Cinema Display
    -- NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card
    -- Mac OSX 10.5.2
    -- Quicktime Pro 7.4.1
    -- Most recent version of Flash CS3 Video Encoder

    I to am having the same problem with the flash encoder. Added
    a wmv file and a mov file to the queue and I get the same results.
    I do however see the first frame of the movies. Cannot set in and
    out points because the first frame displays while scrubbing.

    It works perfect with so many formats, the only problem is

    smoothing does not work on an FLVPlayback component, only on

  • Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

    Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
    When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
    1280x720
    frame rate of 23.976
    using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
    "embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
    When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
    I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Mike

    Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

  • Rendering HD Video Correctly for Flash (CS3 version)

    Hi everyone,
    For the LIFE of me I cannot figure out what the "magic selections" are for converting my HD video into a flash mp4 video are. I can get the mp4, but flash doesn't like it.
    Before I continue, here are the specs:
    Programs:
    Premiere Pro CS3
    Flash Professional CS3
    Equipment:
    Canon XHA1s HD camcorder, recording at 1080p @60i
    Problems I am facing:
    I can convert using the H.264 codec to create a HD mp4 file, but flash will not play it.
    My Workflow:
    Okay, I will start from the beginning.
    -I start a new project in Premiere.
    -I select "HD1080i 60i" as my format.
    -I capture video off of the camcorder in premiere.
    -The video looks great, and is definately in HD quality. I pull the captured video into my source pane, then set my in and out points.
    -I insert those points into my program pane.
    -I export my video using adobe media encoder.
    -I select H.264 as my format.
    -I select a custom preset.
    -I make the size of my frame half the size of the original file.
    -I set the framerate to 30.
    -The TV standard is set to NTSC.
    -Then I open Flash CS3.
    -I follow the tutorial exactly given by Tom Green on this webpage: http://www.layersmagazine.com/hd-video-in-flash-professional-cs3.html
    -When I preview my video file, an error message pops up saying that the URL has to be an fla file!
    Ugh...
    ALSO my files are absolutely HUGE!!! this file for instance became about 86 megs!! Is there any way to downsize without loosing a huge amount of quality?
    SO...if you want to try to correct me, be my guest. OR if you just have a way of doing it that works please, do share! I'm getting pretty frustrated with this thing...
    Thanks in advance!

    If you're trying to create a flash video, you need to create an FLV not an MP4.  While H264 is readable by the latest versions of Flash, the normal extension for h264 Flash is F4V.  MP4 in CS3 is primarily used to create blu-ray or perhaps XDCam files.
    Why not output FLV and be done with it?

  • Import Video - Flash CS3

    <This message was posted in the General Discussion forum
    by mistake.>
    I am trying to import video into Flash CS3.
    File>Import Video is how I start.
    In the dialog box I navigate to my file (I have tried both
    avi and mpg files)
    When I hit next I get the following error:
    "A required system library did not initialize properly.
    Please ensure you have DirectShow 9 and QuickTime 7 or higher

    Do I really need DS9 and QT7?
    QT never has played nice with my computer so I would like to
    avoid installing it.
    Ideas?
