Flash video replay button

Hi all..
I'm working on a flash video.. I have no problem converting/linking the video, etc - however, need to have a replay button as well as another button (to go to another page and such) after the video is done playing... Can anyone help me out or diret me to a tutorial about this? I'm assuming that I need to check for when the video is done playing and than make the buttons visible?
Thanks a bunch ahead of time!

here's an example, it assumes you have two buttons on stage or instantiated(restartButton and goButton), and your vid file/playback linked up etc
restartButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restartVideo);
goButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goSomewhere);
goButton.visible = false; // hiding it till you need it
myVideoPlayBack.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setGoButtonVisible);
function restartVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
     myVideoPlayBack.stop();
     myVideoPlayBack.seek(0);
     myVideoPlayBack.play();
function setGoButtonVisible(event:Event):void
     goButton.visible = true;
function goSomewhere(event:MouseEvent):void
     //whatever this should do, be it load a page, go to a frame etc

Flash videos and buttons are disappearing...?

I start my home with a site that has an editable reigon, and
a few flash buttons which are layered above a "transparent" flash
video, the video plays perfectly the first time. I proceed to click
on one of the links which leads me to another page with one of
these flash videos nestled behind yet more flash linking buttons
and a table, this also is working perfectly the first time. Then I
click yet another link from that page and am now at a simple page
that consists of only a background and 2 flash link buttons which
each lead back to the two previous pages described. If i click on
the link that leads to the first page the Flash buttons reman in
full working order on the 1st page but the video fails to start
playing again, even if I refresh. The same goes for if I click the
link to the second page described, except the buttons do not appear
as well as the flash video failing to start. I am fairly new to
dreamweaver, but have been using flash for quite some time. I
cannot paste the codes here since they are way too long. please
tell me if you have any ideas on what I should do, your help is
greatly appreciated. Sorry about this post is confusingly worded.
Thanks, Rumsey

Try running Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 in 32-bit mode (close Firefox, control-click the Firefox.app icon, select "Get Info", and then check the box, "Open in 32-bit mode"). This worked for another Mac user in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/765367 this other thread].

Flash video and buttons in linux

Whenever I use flash in firefox and flash on Fedora Core 11, the video goes crazzy.
Any ideas?

Thank you...
I did this, but when I upload to my website -- all I get is a blank screen:
FYI - I imported the video as FLV and then published as a swf -- was this correct?
Here is the code:

Creating a Replay Button for a Flash Video

I want to replay a flash video by clicking on a "replay" button. I know how to creat the buttons. I can't figure out how to create the action script. Thanks in advance for any help.
I know how to create the Action Script to replay flash, but when I have a flash video that I want to replay that's when I run into trouble.

Hi,
This snippet should hint a solution to you (NetStream class):
netStream.seek = 0;
netStream.resume();
Anyway, you would need to know when the movie has finished playing.
On a Flash Media server, there should be an event just for that.
If you are not running on such a kind of server, make yourself a cuepoint to listen to, at the very last frame of the movie, so your app knows when its time to offer the replay functionality. You can insert cuepoints in a movie when you are in the Flash Video Encoder options.

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

Is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site

i am not sure if this will make sense so please tell me if it
doesn't. is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end
of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site. the
video plays showing the name of the site then fades to show the
text "enter" which i want to make the link to the next page.

> the video plays showing the name of the

in FLASH set a gotourl action on the last frame of the move.
If this is a "splash page" and has a dancing company logo and
a throbbing

Remove Video Controls and add Replay button on page

Hello,
I am trying to create a page in Adobe Edge that loads a video without any controls (play, slider bar, volume, full screen) and then displays a replay button after the video finishes which will start it from the beginning.
Currently I am able to load the video file and have it play to the end and stop, but I can't seem to get a replay button working. I also can't find a way to disable controls on the video so they do not show.
Here is the code I am using to load the video:
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
$("#Stage").css("margin","auto")
sym.stop();
// original video play code starts here
// create a text object called vid;
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls='none'>" +
   "<source src='video.mp4' type='video/mp4' />" +
   "<source src='video.webm' type='video/webm' />" +
   "<source src='video.ogv' type='video/ogg' />" +
   "This browser is not compatible with HTML 5" +
"</video>"
sym.$("replay_btn").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "top":"-265", "left":"7", "opacity":"1"}, 0);
// stage symbol lookup, and append the above vid object to it;
// in other words, get the div called 'vcontainer' and attach the video control to it;
sym.$("vContainer").append(vid);
// additional options for the video object
vid.attr('autoplay', 'autoplay');
vid.attr('preload','auto');
vid.attr('controls', 'none');
// End original code
// this is the insert for the action after the video ends
$(vid).bind("ended", function () {
sym.$("vContainer").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "left":"0", "opacity":"0"}, 0);
sym.$("replay_btn").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "top":"394", "left":"19", "opacity":"1"}, 0);
$("#Stage").on('click','#replay_btn',function(){
vid.pause();
vid.currentTime = '0';
vid.play();
sym.$("vContainer").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "top":"133", "left":"0", "opacity":"1"}, 0);
vid.removeAttribute("controls");
As you can see, I tried a few ways of disabling the controls, and I also tried adding the replay function to the button itself, but neither of those worked. Any advice or information on controlling the video control display and replay function in Adobe Edge would be very helpful.
Thanks!

In case anyone is interested in the replay button, I was able to find code that worked:
var myVideo = document.getElementById("activeVideo");
myVideo.currentTime = 0;
myVideo.play();
This is executed when the replay button is clicked. Just be sure to set the video in question's ID to "activeVideo".
I am still unable to turn off the controls on the video. It seems like some of the code I have tried should work, but I haven't had success yet.
I've tried all of the following:
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls='none'>"
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls='0'>"
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls=''>"
vid.attr('controls', 'none');
vid.attr('controls', '0');
vid.attr('controls', '');
But nothing has worked so far. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

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....

[Solved] On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening.

On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening. It's like I should click where they should be, not where they are. The exact same problem happens on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer. It also happens on some games I installed like, "Crysis".

Nevermind, I solved the problem by downloading this:

No buttons in Flash video Player

Hello,
i can't see navigation buttons in my Flash video player.If I
run the swf alone there are all the buttons but in my page is onli
the video picture but not buttons.What should I do? Can somebody
help?

I am having the problem mentioned above and would really
appreciate a solution. Here's my set up...
Running a Flash CD Rom in IE, user clicks a Start.html file
to fire up the presentation in their default web browser.
I have a root file loading a bunch of movies on various
levels. The video player loads on level 4 above a bunch of other
buttons on level 3.
I disable the buttons underneath by including a big Invisible
button on the bottom layer of the video .swf and inserting a script
to disable the hand cursor. (So that users can't click buttons that
reside underneath where my video is playing.)
That all works great, the only thing is that the controls in
the skin I'm using become disabled. I'm using a premade skin in
Flash 8, the kind that pop the controls up automatically when you
roll over the video, and go away when you don't.
Everything works great when I Ctrl+Enter and test the file,
but when I run the whole thing together in IE, the video controls
never pop up.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

How to use embed code to insert my flash video from web host whilst keeping my player buttons?

I have created a flash 8 video. It consists of the video.swf
video.flv and skin.swf
When i try to embed it into a remote webpage, the video
player buttons do not show.
How do i enable my webpage of flash video to show the player
controls on a remote webpage using an embed code?

Reece,
> Basicly i just imported a .mov file into flash 8 and
chose

If you chose FVSS, that means you're using a Flash Video
Streaming
Service and not just uploading video to your own server.
> So my skin.flv file currently has to be in the same
folder

You can put the skin wherever you like. All that matters is
that you
correctly path to it from the point of view of the HTML page
that holds your
SWF (the SWF that holds the FLVPlayback instance that uses
this skin).
> I need it to allow my skin.flv file to be in the same
folder
> as my vido.swf and video.flv files.
You're uploading your video files to a Flash Video Streaming
Service,
which I haven't done personally, so I don't know what
requirements this
service places on you. Regardless, the location of the skin
SWF file makes
no difference. In the FLA that contains your FLVPlayback
instance, select
that instance and look at the Parameters tab of the Propery
inspector. In
the skin parameter, double click the cell to the right of
that and enter the
path to the skin SWF. It can be absolute (full domain name
and filepath) or
relative. If it's relative, pretend it's the HTML file
looking for that
skin, instead of this SWF file.

Mouse back/forward buttons don't respond after exiting from full screen Flash video

Yeah. Has anyone else encountered this? After viewing a full
screen video (YouTube, Hulu) and exiting (via the ESC button), the
back and foward buttons on my mouse stop responding. Really!
Usually I will have to go back into a full-screen video twice for
the buttons to get "stuck," and then it takes them several minutes
to regain their functionality.
I've had this going on for over a year now, and I'm finally
sick of it enough to where I want to get some help. I've narrowed
it down to the Flash player as being the culprit, and it happens on
every browser I've tried it on (Firefox 3: RC2, RC1, Beta5; Firefox
2; IE7; IE6; Safari 3.x). This started happening when I upgraded
the Flash Player and the first offending version would be the one
that introduced the current full screen Flash video technology. I'm
guessing it was 9.0.
I have a Logitech MediaPlay wireless mouse, Win XP SP2. I
have the latest version of Flash and the most up-to-date mouse
drivers.

I have the same exact problem, only a different model
Logitech. Have you found a solution? Thanks, Shawn.

Flash help for replay button

I have a simple movie that consists of 1 scene with some
layers. Each layer
contains a movie clip and there's an actions layer with a
stop action. All
the clips play at once. The clip that contains the ending
sequence contains
a replay button. The actionscript is as follows:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
With simple buttons enabled within flash, it does what is
expected, but when
I save as a .swf, it goes back to the first frame of the
movie clip it's
contained in, not the movie itself. How do I add a replay
button to a movie
set up the way I have it?
Thanks
-mark

Thanks for that. I got it to work by simply having the button
reload the
movie. I got to thinking that since all the clips play
through and then stop
at their respective endings. Going back to the first frame of
the root may
not work as the root only has 1 frame and the clips have
already played
through. Figured I should reload the movie.
But I'll try your solution and see if it also works.
