FLV Playback repeats first second of video

I'm having trouble fixing a problem with an flv playback issue. A main swf loads a child swf which preloads a movie. If the movie is preloading and you close the child swf with
     _global.lightBox = false;
     _global.nc.close();
     unloadMovieNum(2);
The global variable lightBox is set to false so when the video is fully loaded it sees that lightBox is false and does not try to play. The global variable nc is the movie's netConnection. The problem occurs when you click to close the movie and then try to load the movie again. What happens is it stays on the preloader going from 1 to 99 over and over again while playing the first small bit of the movie's sound.
I can give more information if needed, thank you for any help.

Have you tried using the MovieClipLoader class instead of unloadMovieNum?

FLV Playback Component - specifying an image before it plays

I am using the FLV Playback Component to play a video.
Instead of playing automatically, I want to be able to set an image
(or a frame of the movie) to display and only play the movie after
the user clicks the play button. I can't find anything anywhere to
explain how to do this or a workaround for it. Can anyone point me
in the right direction? thanks.

Actually, I'm just trying to access the movie controls in the
FLV Playback component, so I can adjust how the work.
This does not work:
this.movie.forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,someFunction)
Neither does this:
MovieClip(this.movie).forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,someFunction)

Download first 25% of video and then rest if user presses play.

I have a site where they insist to have video play on the home page, but now went over bandwidth this last month. Is there any way I can have the video download part way and then if the user presses play the rest of the video downloads? Right now I am using the FLV Playback componet to display the video.

AS 2.0 FLV playback multi videos

I've set up FLV playback for one video, but need to allow
users to choose the next movie they want to view (non linear), as
well as allow them to click through each movie in a linear fashion.
Not sure what code to attach to buttons to:
1. Allow non-linear video playback
2. Allow the if/then/else option of going through each video
in a linear manner--thinking should attach code to fwd button
Code below, any help would be much appreciated! thx
//------NETCONNECTION SETUP--------------------
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
//------NETSTREAM SETUP--------------------
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Start") {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = videoUpdate;
ns.onMetaData = function(info) {
ns.duration = info.duration;
//------ATTACHING NETSTREAM--------------------
video.attachVideo(ns);
//------PLAYING EXTERNAL FLV--------
ns.play("sample pics.flv");

The person above is correct but assure you enter into component inspector, and change the the parameters of the component.

First 4 seconds of video weird behavior

New problem. Recorded a Keynote movie and exported to QT. The KN plays normally.
The QT audio starts but the video begins 4 seconds later. When I look only at the video it starts 4 sec. late. BUT when I drag the selector over the first 4 seconds the video is definitely there. It just doesn't play when I click PLAY.
Any ideas?

had to save as 30 fps to fix this.

Help Please! I've created a slideshow in iPhoto 09 and the first song just repeats 50 seconds into it. How do I get the song to continue?

With iPhoto open click Help from the iPhoto menu bar top of your screen. From the drop down menu click iPhoto Help.
Type slideshow music in the search field top right corner of that window.
You should see: To add music to a slideshow instructions.

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

Premiere CS6 skips/does not play first second of vob file - while with vlc all fine

Hello everyone!
I am trying to edit vob files (after being ripped on hdd) and Premiere seems to skip the the first second in the media browser, source monitor etc. after import. When opened with vlc-player the vob file is just fine and the first (missing) second (part of a sentence) is there. So I tried to convert the vob file to an avi file with Adobe Media Encoder. Same thing the first second is missing in the avi file. Adobe Bridge - same thing. Same problem with other vob files.
What can I do? Thank you very much for your kind help!
Best, Michael
System: Windows 7 (64) all updated. Master Collection CS6 all updated (Premiere Pro CS6 - 6.0.1 etc.)

Michael,
Is both the Audio and the Video missing from the VOB in PrPro?
Is the Audio DD 5.1 SS in AC3?
Though certainly not YOUR case, if your Audio is DD 5.1, then it is recommended to allow ~ 2.0 sec. of silence at the beginning of the Audio Stream, to allow the equipment to "lock onto" the signal. This most often happens with higher-end DVD/BD players - you are getting similar in PrPro, and not a high-end DVD/BD player.
If you rip the DVD in Audition, or similar, does the entire Audio Stream show up, like it does in VLC player?
One last question, regards your internal HDD, from which you are editing. Is it at least 7,200 RPM, or is it a 5,400 RPM drive?
Good luck, and as should be obvious, I am just thinking out loud here.

How do you make the black area in an FLV playback white or transparent

Trying to make the FLV playback black area white or
transparent, because there is a black flash that shows up when play
the movie. I am trying to alleviate this by changing the black area
to another color or alpha.

In your publish settings, click on the HTML tab and look for
a field entitled 'Window Mode'. One of the choices is 'Transparent
Windowless'. This should work if you have objects that don't have
backgrounds. If you are looking to make video transparent, so far
in my experience, the only video I have been able to make this work
with is a Quicktime Animation with the RGB + Alpha. Also, when you
import your video to the stage, make sure to click on the 'Encode
Alpha Channel' box. That will give you the transparency you're
looking for.

Auto/Hide with Flv playback doesn't work with javascript lightbox, need help?

Hi everyone,
i created some swf loading a flv file in a flv playback and
check on the auto/hide parameter. When i test the movie it works
very well. BUT, in my website, i put those swf files in Lightbox
(javascript computed) and when the mouse goes Over the flash video,
it shows the Skin player and when the mouse goes Out, the Skin
player stays over the video!? Why? Does someone has an idea on how
to force the auto/hide paramater in this case?
Thanks for your help
Orlenka

Found this post when searching for an answer, but didn't find much elsewhere so I'll post my quick and ugly solution here. I'm sure it can be vastly improved, but I didn't have much more than 5 minutes. Note - setting .visible to false just ended up causing the autohide transition to occur over and over, so instead I'm just temporarily moving the whole sprite offscreen.
(AS3, using CS5 component... note that 'player' is the FLVPlayback instance):
//### force 'autohide' when mouse inactive
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1500, 0);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();
var skinSprite:DisplayObject;
var prevMouseX:Number;
var prevMouseY:Number;
function onTimer(e:TimerEvent):void {
//get skinSprite if we haven't already
if(!skinSprite) {
    var child:DisplayObject;
    for(var i:Number = 0; i < player.numChildren; i++) {
      child = player.getChildAt(i);
      if(i == 2) { //this is the skinSprite
        skinSprite = child;
//check to see if mouse hasn't moved since last timer event
if(skinSprite && mouseX == prevMouseX && mouseY == prevMouseY) {
    skinSprite.y = -1000;
prevMouseX = mouseX;
prevMouseY = mouseY;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, stage_onMouseMove);
function stage_onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(skinSprite) {
    skinSprite.y = 0;

Delay of 5 seconds between Video and Audio.

Hi,
I've a site where consumer can take a live meeting with the beauty consultant. The problem I'm facing is during the video chat. Basically there is a delay of 5 seconds between Video and Audio when I access the site from out of my network but when I access it within my network (VPN) then it's work fine.
Please help me out from this problem. I'm using FLEX & FMS 3.5.
Thanks,

Go through the article "http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_live.html" and see paragraph with heading "Obtaining client maximum bandwidth capacity". This says how to use "Live aggregate messages". You can try disabling it also which can be done as below:
Find Application.xml in this conf directory and search for queue tag. Disable the queue.
<Application>
                
                
                
                
                <StreamManager>
                                <Live>
                                                <Queue enabled="false">
                                                                <AggregateMessages enabled="false">
                                                                </AggregateMessages>
                                                </Queue>
                                </Live>
                </StreamManager>

After importing, first second of audio is not there

Please help. Just purchased a new camer (Sony NX5U) and imported the mts files into Premiere. However the first second of each clip has no audio. The video is there but no sound at all. When I play the mts clips using Windows Media Player I hear the audio. Has anyone had similar problems?
THanks in adavnce

My experience so far (individual files/times have not been large) is that the MTS files from my Canon Vixia HFS100 are "individually complete" in that I just use WinExplorer to copy the files to my hard drive and everything is there for editing, so I have not had to even look at any Canon software
Good that you figured out what needed to be done for your computer

Best method for flv playback in flash 8

group,
i am currently trying to get to grips with flv playback with
flash 8. i have come across a number of methods for flv playback
within flash 8 and am curious to know the difference between
methods and ultimately if there is such a difference discover which
is best. I have had a few issues with some methods and was
wondering if it was because that method sucks.
In particular i am looking for the best method for allowing
custom skinning of the player with the ability to have a player
somewhere on stage without it being stapled to the darn flv file.
METHOD1:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("testmovie.flv");
METHOD2:
import mx.video.*;
this.attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "my_FLVPlybk", 10,
{_width:360,_height:240,x:0, y:0});
my_FLVPlybk.skin = "SteelExternalAll.swf"
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "testmovie.flv";
my_FLVPlybk.autoSize=true;
my_FLVPlybk.autoPlay=false;
what are the differences??
any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time and
expertises,
Flash fan.

Adobe has announced that it has ceased development of Flash for mobile phones (in favour of HTML5, and due to the opposition of both Apple and Microsoft to allow support of Flash for their mobile operating systems), so from that direction neither Microsoft nor Nokia is going to get any help.
If the Adobe Flash Video format specification is publicly available to use or to license (I don't know if it is), then at least Microsoft could implement support for it, if they wanted to (Nokia might not have sufficient rights from Microsoft to add new codecs to Windows Phone).
So, you might direct your question primarily to Microsoft, rather than Nokia (of course, a Microsoft representative will probably read this, too, but whether they'll response or not is another matter).

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project. I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there. When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine. But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing. Help!

Gordon
Many thanks for the reply with the details.
But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back

Looking forward to your reply.
