Flash video pauses on partial postback

I'm using asp.net ajax, and I notice during a partial postback that video pauses half a second while audio continues. This is consistantly half a second even if the server is busy for longer. so is this a known issue? and can you suggest a forum for resolving/verifying this.
thanks,
Tuviah

Maybe there is some script running that detects a focus change.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

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

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

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

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

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
settings, it still plays when the page is loaded.
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!

Shan I have the same problem but the code is generated by
Flash CS 3 in the html file it produces. Here is part of it. You
will see
" 'play', 'false', "
I am not sure how to add your code and surely the Flash code

Flash videos embedded in Facebook don't appear when played

My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Internet Explorer 11, and Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145. I have Microsoft Security Essentials and an activated copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware protecting me from viruses and malware, and my IT department confirms that there is no malware infection playing a role here.
I am, however, having an odd and very frustrating problem with playing all Adobe Flash videos which are embedded inside of Facebook.com, including those which are shared from YouTube. Opening the same YouTube video in YouTube.com does not produce the same behavior - YouTube videos ALWAYS play fine on YouTube.com (whether embedded or full-screen), but NEVER play fine when they are embedded inside of a Facebook post.
NOTE: The same videos work EXACTLY AS EXPECTED in Firefox and Google Chrome, so this seems to be an IE-specific issue. This started back when I was running IE10 and has continued over into IE11.
Here is what happens in both Internet Explorer 10 and 11:
In my Facebook news feed, I locate a video I would like to watch. Before pressing Play, I see a still shot from the video with the Play icon transposed on top of the picture.
I click the Play icon to play the video in Facebook's embedded mode (where I can see other news feed messages above and below the video).
The picture disappears and turns to white (no borders, just white). Along the bottom edge of the video is a bar containing the play/pause, volume, maximize, etc. buttons. Behind these buttons I can see a faded-yet-moving view of the bottom edge of the video, but the rest of the video area is completely white.
I hear the audio playing, even though I can't see any picture other than that lower edge I just described.
If I click the maximize button at the bottom right edge of the video, the video opens to fill the screen and the video picture suddenly appears and runs as expected.
If I press ESC to get out of maximize view, the embedded Facebook screen (with the video again back to the news feed context) returns, but the picture goes white again just as in step 3, with the audio still playing as in step 4.
Right clicking on the offending video brings up a drop-down menu indicating that the video is using Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145.
Other videos shared in Facebook, like those from vimeo.com, play without any problem in the same Facebook.com news feed view, regardless of whether they are in embedded or in full-screen mode. Only videos using Adobe Flash Player seem affected here.
I have tried the following:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player. Reboot. Open Facebook.com, find the video in the news feed, which indicates that Adobe Flash must be installed. Click the link provided and install Adobe Flash from adobe.com. Return to the video in my news feed on facebook.com and click play. Same behavior as described above - no change.
Added facebook.com and youtube.com to my Trusted Sites list. No change.
Added facebook.com and youtube.com to IE's compatibility view, exited all instances of the browser, reopened. No change.
Checked for unusual browser add-ons - none found.
Cleared web cache, deleted cookies, reset browsers to default settings and default advanced settings - no change
Checked Windows Updates - all updates are current.
Ran full scans of Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes. No malware or issues found. No issues found with roguekiller, adwcleaner, and other malware-related tools either.
Any suggestions for me here? I'd really just like to click Play and see the embedded video like everybody else can. FYI, all other computers (running Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8) on my network play these same videos in IE9, IE10, and IE11 without the problems I'm having with this one. I'd sure appreciate any help you can offer!

Not that the moment. It's not ideal, but you have two working options, which is better than none.
In all likelihood, the content providers are going to have to change code to accommodate IE11 and higher. I spent a bunch of time this week reviewing some technical guidance that we're putting together for developers, but the long and short of it is that IE wants to developers to stop writing code that handles IE differently than other browsers.
IE has a history of not exactly working like other browsers, and for a multitude of reasons (including how JavaScript and Flash communicate to each other), developers as a standard practice wrote a lot of code to specifically handle these quirks in IE.
To get out of this impossible position where they want markup to be the same for all browsers, but having all of this code targeted specifically at IE because of the long legacy of being problematic for web developers, IE masquerades as something else and disables features like conditional comments that allowed code to target IE.
The net result is that a lot of stuff is broken in IE11. We're working closely with Microsoft to be good partners and help them through this transition with a few technical changes on our end, but developers are going to have to change their code and/or update the underlying libraries all over the web. This is not going to happen overnight. Big content providers with more resources will probably move faster than smaller sites with less developers, but it's going to be months or years before all of this shakes out.

Cp4 - Retain more than 1 Flash Video in slide to view independently

I have 3 rollover slidelets that each have a Flash video in each. The slidelet that contains the flash video is 'not visable' - (options properties).
The concept: The user hovers the mouse over one of three buttons. When finding the one to play the button is clicked to displayed the slidelet and flash video. The user then clicks on the video playbar to run the video. I 'loop' the video so that the video stays within the slide. I now want to select another clip, so I pause the open video and then click on another button. What happens is that this action closes the slide and moves onto the next slide.
I want to allow the user to select any video clip and play them at any time without closing the slide and moving to the next slide.
Slide 1 showing the positioning of the buttons and rollover slidelets containing the flash videos
Slide 2 shows the published slide ready for user activity
Kind regards,

Hi there
When you insert a Rollover Slidelet you get two objects on the stage. Just click OK on that dialog you posted and you will see. One object is the area your user mouses over. The other area presents what the user sees. The slidelet area has its own Timeline. You click the Slidelet area and it gains focus. You then insert the objects into this area.

Video pauses in windows 8.1?

Hello,
I just upgraded to windows 8.1 (probably should of known better) Tried diffrent sites, what happens is that the video pauses for a split
senond during the video, this happens several times depending on how long the video is. I have 12 gigs of ram and
plenty of power on the video card. Flash player and graphic's card is up to date.
Is this a care of flash needing to catch up to windows or should I be checking somethign else?
thanks Bruce

Webcam Video pauses when recording sound from microphone

I have a strange problem which i am encountering when recording and playing back webcam video.
I am developing a small application for recording webcam video and audio using FMS and playing it back later from FMS.
I am using AS 3.0, FMS 3.5 and flash CS 5.5
When i record only the video from webcam without sound from microphone the playback is fine. But when i record microphone sound also along with the video, and when i playback the video pauses right where the sound starts for 10 sec or more and then it starts playing. Towards the end the video pauses again and only the sound goes on till the end.
I tried setting the buffertime to 50 before ns.publish and ns.play but that didnt help either.
I tried using the flvplayback component and even their it pauses.
Any help is appreciated.

Haha, that is such a genius use of common sense! Thank you, I didn't think of that. I certainly will!
However, does anyone know if there is a way of adjusting the program of garageband to fix this issue? Using headphones certainly fixes the symptoms of my problem, but it doesn't actually address the root cause: garageband should only be recording the input through the microphone. I shouldn't need to wear headphones. (And doing so inhibits my ability to clearly hear myself play, and stay in tune.)

Links to and from a Flash video?

(Sorry for the long post, trying to explain in detail what
I'm looking for ...)
Maybe you guys can tell me if this is possible using the
current version of Flash (I will not be doing this myself, but I
need to know if Flash is the way to go).
1) Embed several videos/audio files in an HTML page, with the
usual playback controls.
2) Place links or form elements (buttons) in the page *to*
those videos, allowing (via JavaScript/DOM) the user to
a) play, pause and jump to a specific (SMPTE) position in a
video.
b) loop a section of the video (by giving two positions and a
loop command)
c) change audio volume.
(I know this is normally done with controls in the video
player, but I need interaction with the page.)
3) Have links *from* the videos to the page/DOM - i.e., when
the video is running, JavaScript events should be sent to the page
to hide/load/update content - either automatically or user-driven
(by clicking on the embedded video at a certain time - if possible,
with hotspots so multiple options can be triggered; similar to a
DVD menu).
I'd like to do the same with audio. So I am basically looking
for a mechanism to link to and from real-time content.
Beyond the "Yup, possible!" I expect to hear ;) I have
another question regarding workflow.
The scenario for producing this stuff (e-learning)
will/should be something like this:
- Developer A builds a nice little audio/video player we can
embed in our pages. This will be used to show/play our content.
- Person B records video and audio, does a little post
production, delivers media/files (DV, MP3).
- Person C batch-converts the videos to FLV format, but
doesn't (have to) do any creative work.
- Person D with some HTML/JavaScript knowledge and a
stopwatch :) builds the page, embeds the player(s) and sets the
cues that will jump to certain positions. HTML pages, SWF, FLV and
MP3 files are uploaded to a plain-vanilla HTTP server.
Is this a realistic scenario? I.e., can we buy (or have
someone develop) a player so that no tinkering with Flash itself is
required anymore once we have established this workflow?
I would appreciate your comments. Also, if the above is
possible, I'd be grateful for links to showcase sites.
Thank you.

In theory - yup!
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15683
Html pages can communicate to the flash file using
javascript. The fla page can communicate to the FLV file using
actionscript. So in theory you can send javascript commands to
flash from the html page, and then have that set off some
actionscript to control the movie.
Can I be Person C? Sounds like easy money!
Good luck. Check out the forums at www.gotoandlearn.com -
that site has a lot of creative people with a very high knowledge
of using Flash video.

Flash video not loading in IE and Chrome

Hi,
I have published a simple flash video page and uploaded it to my website.
It works fine in Firefox but in IE and Chrome it seems to load the first 10 seconds i.e the loading bar goes grey for a small section, Then the buffering comes up and the video doesn't load.
I've upgraded my flash player to the latest one. Cleared my history and opened my browser again.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

i see the same problem with all three browsers: that video won't play unless the an initial portion has already been cached.
to remedy, play and pause your video. after a 3 seconds * bitrate of your video has cached, play your video

Inserting a Flash video and the Bandwidth Monitor

I am new to Captivate, and I want to be sure I'm following
some practical guidelines for inserting Flash video in my Captivate
slides.
I know there are quite a few variables relating to practical
bandwidth usage--basically, we are creating elearning presenations
that will have "talking head" videos embedded within. These
presentations will be available for download via our LMS site, both
within the US and overseas.
I have utilized Captivate's Bandwidth Monitor to gauge the
bandwidth hit each video slide is responsible for. However, I don't
believe the numbers I'm getting back: because I've set each
embedded video to "Pause slide till end of video", all the slides
are reporting the same length in seconds, KB per sec and Video KB
numbers.
Can someone suggest a practical method for setting up the
videos such that the Bandwidth Monitor can interpret them
correctly? Can you also suggest a rule of thumb for maximum length
for each slide with an embedded video (320 X 240) in it?
Thanks in advance,
Carl

Make Video Pause When Clicked?

Hi, I have a flash video that is set to autoplay when the page loads. We've just implemented thickbox/lightbox system on it now so when you click on the video it enlarges into that new frame. Problem is, when that's done the video/audio is still playing while the video in the thickbox is playing too. This leading to ineffective listening. Does anyone know a code that would trigger the video to pause when clicked anywhere on the video screen?
Right now the videos being tested at this link - http://edlevinjewelry.com/indexTEST.html
I don't currently have the video linked up to lightbox, just a link above the video to expand.
With FLVPlayback,this is my current code (it's currently coded and set up so the video autoplay starts at 52 seconds)...
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
import fl.video.VideoProgressEvent;
import fl.video.*;
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, rewind);
function rewind(eventObject:VideoEvent):void {
    my_FLVPlybk.seek(52);
    my_FLVPlybk.play();
var fp:FLVPlayback = my_FLVPlybk;
fp.addEventListener(VideoProgressEvent.PROGRESS, videoProgressHandler, false, 0, true);
fp.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED, metaDataHandler, false, 0, true);
fp.autoPlay = false;
var startSeekTime:Number = 52;
var videoDuration:Number;
var videoSeeked:Boolean = false;
function metaDataHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void {
     if(event.info.duration != null){
          videoDuration =event.info.duration;
function videoProgressHandler(event:VideoProgressEvent):void {
     var fp:FLVPlayback = event.currentTarget as FLVPlayback;
     var bytesLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded;
     var bytesTotal:Number = event.bytesTotal;
     if( !isNaN(videoDuration)){
          if( (bytesLoaded/bytesTotal) >= ( (startSeekTime+4)/videoDuration) && !videoSeeked ){
               videoSeeked = true;
               fp.seek(startSeekTime);
fp.play();

I put it in the actionscript, was there anywhere specific I was supposed to plug it with the rest of the code?
Thanks for helping with this.
