FLV video controls lock up

Hi there. I'm creating a website in Flash CS3. The FLV video
in the center of the page utilizes one of the stock video control
panels in the video encoding process
(SkinUnderPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf) . Upon testing the movie, both
in Flash and uploaded on my server, the controls work fine for
about 10 seconds then seize up and stop being functional. The page
is simple as can be. 1 frame long, a couple pieces of text, a
static background and the FLV in the middle. Any ideas on why the
control panel freezes up?

Have you tested on more than one machine? Perhaps you could
post a url and we can see if it's a machine issue? I've never had
an flv cause a lockup, I'd be interested in seeing this.

Can you put Video Controls on an .flv video?

I have an .flv file in my .fla file. However, when I play the movie, it simply plays the movie along the timeline. Is there a way to put video controls on this file? Or do I need to use the videoPlayback option?
If I do need to use the videoPlayback option, how do I make sure that the video always work, even if I move it to a different computer (because the references to the movie will change)?
Thank you very much in advanced.
-TitanVex

Hi Ned,
Thank you for your reply!
I guess I mean that when I specify the path to my flv file and I export the swf file, the swf won't play the flv video if I move the swf file to another computer. Does that make sense?
Thank you for the answer though, I will use FLVPlayback!

Controlling FLV video programmatically

Hi all,
I am new to Flash, and I'd like to be able to control the
flash video I have imported programmatically, I just need an
starting point, any article written on the subject?
Ideally I'd like to control the movement using mouse
movements, but just need to know how do I access the flv video and
how to change its current position or "playingheadtime" to the
desired value.
Really appreciate your help,
mlin.

Thanks for your reply cosmo.
I believe that i am not the first to face this issue. In my case i have an application with MDB, and i wish to deploy the EAR, but to decide on runtime whether the MDB should consume messages (Decision logic is irrelevent).
By default the MDB is enabled, and even if i decide pre-deployment to disable it , I will need to edit the application.xml inside the EAR, and i would like to avoid this process (unjar, editing, jar).
Are there any other alternatives ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Adding controls to FLV video

Hello
I have a .flv file that I need to drop into a Flash file and
export as a .swf. It needs controls (pause/play etc). I tried the
tutorial in the help section, and it didn;t work. Does anyone out
there know of a good tutorial for:
- Creating a new Flash file
- Adding my .flv
- Adding controls funtionality
- Exporting to a .swf for use on a web page
Please keep in mind that I am a Flash novice.
Thanks,
-----------------S

The help docs clearly explain how to do this using the media
compnents - the fact that it din't work
doesn't mean you won't be able to follow anyone else's
tutorial. The devnet site is filled with very
well written and specific flash video articles - just search
- google is also your friend and search
this forum - this has been asked/discussed several times.
You want to search the help docs for the Media Display
component.

How can I control a FLV video using the main play bar (not the FLV skin)?

I need to have the ability to play/pause an FLV video in a slide with the main play bar. Research has shown me that in previous versions, there was a "synchronize with project" checkbox that enabled this. I cannot find this in version 8. Is there a different way of doing this?

Hello ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums
Try inserting the video as Multi-Slide Synchronized Video instead of Event Video ,
Then down below there will be an option to Distribute the video across the slides and you can select from Slide n to n ,(Where n is your slide number).
Hope this will serve your need.

Video Control Bar in Flash Displays on HD but Not From Webserver

I am using Flash Pro 8 - putting FLV files in SWF files using
Flash Pro 8 and then "publishing" to Html and SWF to a location on
my hard drive.
When I display the webpage from my Hard Drive from where ever
on my hard drive I initially published to from Flash 8 Pro -
everything works fine - videos play and video control bar shows and
works.
When I publish this website to web server the video displays
and plays but NO Video Controller Bar (at bottom of the video)
shows at all.
Symptom: when I make an Html, SWF and FLA file into a folder
on my hard drive and display them in the browser the video control
bar shows. When I copy those three files into the hard drive
website in FrontPage, the video shows but the video control bar
does not.
So, I re-made the Html, SWF, and FLA files and put them
directly into the FrontPage website (on my hard drive) then
everything works fine when I use broswer (IE 6 or Firefox). z
But, when I publish the hard drive website to the remote
website hosting company, the video control bar disappears -
everything else works fine (video shows OK just no video controller
bar.)
My guess is that the SWF file has a non-relative URL
reference concerning the video control bar and when the three files
(Html, SWF and FLA) are moved to new location then that
non-relative address rears its head.
I should NOT publish from Flash 8 Pro directly to remote
webserver as it has FrontPage Extensions and does not like to talk
to FTP changes to website not coming from FrontPage client.
is my guess right? What to do?????

1. When I encoded the video in flash I selected one of the
pre-packaged control bars (so the user can control basic
functions). I then published an HTML and a .swf. The HTML works
perfectly however when I use Dreamweaver to insert the .swf it does
not carry over the control bar. I have tried pulling over the
control bar .swf and placing it under the video file but a HUGE
object is imported with a bunch of controls that do not work (bunch
of controls = play/pause/etc).
make sure the component skin is uploaded in same directory as
swf, movie, html

The second issue is this; the user still has to click once on
the video to use the controls... does anyone know what I am doing
wrong on the video file?

How to detect end of FLV Video - and then call another web page?

I'm using Flash CS3 v9 on a PC to...
- use File > Import an AVI video and convert it to an FLV video.
- use File > publish to publish it.
- Then upload the four files...
.. MyVideo.flv
.. MyPage.html,
.. MyPage swf
.. AC_RunActiveContent.js
to my website.
Works Great!
My Question:
Since Javascript seems to run the .swf file which pays the .flv video... (or some such)
Can I use Javascript (or html) to tell when the FLV Video has finished playing...
And then automatically call another webpage...
If so would someone be kind enough to share a code sample with me to get me quick started.
Thanks for any help.

I'm using the defaults in Flash CS3 ver9.
I'm not creating any action script myself.
I open Flash and select from the Flash menuio options...
"Create New Flash File (Action Script 3.0)"
I then File | Import my AVI video to convert it to an FLV video...
and choose the player options for controls, etc
and then punch through the menu's until Flash finally imports the video.
I then "Publish" the project to the the 4 files mentioned in my initial posting.
So, I think the answer to your question is...
Yes, I'm using the default Flash playback component to play the flv
and yes, I'm letting Flash default to CS3 even though I'm not writing the code... Flash is.
Thanks for the help.

FLV video in a single keyframe.

hello,
I have loaded an external FLV video into my project however, my video starts immediately as soon as I go to the keyframe with the video on it. It can still be heard playing after I leave that keyframe. Should I return to the keyframe it begins playing two versions of the video. i have tried VideoAndy.stop(); on the keyframes before and after and that does not work.
I want the video to stop playing when i leave the keyframe
how would i do this?
Thanks,
Jac
EDIT: for all those who may be having the same problem, in your keyframes before and after the video keyframe add the following code
flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll();
this will stop all sound once you leave the video keyframe

You need to stop the FLVPlayback in the frame where it exists, so whatever portion of code that you have that controls leaving that frame should include the command to stop the player.

Why with Firefox 4 fast download of a flv video gives error whilst with IE it is possible but very long

If I download a flv video I get a message saying fast downloading is not possible and asking to eliminate the file from the list of downloadable files. If I do so: message of error!With IE the announced size of the same size of video (1 hr)the size announced is 2 Gygab..the time taken is 4 or 5 hours and the final size of the file is about 200 Megab. 3 months ago announced and final size 200 Mb and time 20 min.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Need advice/guidance on how to export .FLV videos for my website.

Can anyone help me?
I am trying to embbed a .swf/.flv video into my website,
using dreamweaver and flash cs4. But when i do so, and i load the
video, the .FLV playback componet wont load or the browser dosent
even try to load the data at all, it just plays the video. So users
cant mute, have volum control, pause, stop or anything. Can someone
please help me? i looked all over the net for 2 days and cant find
a single turtorial or anything. I know alot of website use .FLV but
how? and how do you export it?

You need three parts for the flv playback: the swf, the flv,
and the video player skin swf. If you create the flv from your
Flash movie by importing the original video, Flash should make all
of those parts for you. Upload each of these files to your server
and the file should play as expected.
Can you describe in more detail what you are doing that may
be different?

Adjust Y pos of Flash video control strip (skin)

Hi
I am in need to move the video control strip upwards so it clears my caption in the video shown below.
The skin is a swf, and normally if I import a swf to to another fla as an outside source I can adjust xpos and ypos with action script.
I am using AS2 and would think this can be controlled in the flv playback component. But I can not find out how.
Can you help?
Thank you on beforehand!

Hi Again!
Is there anybody out there?
Meanwhile I have looked into creating a dublicate skin and tried to edit that.
There is not much code for the fla. Here it is:
// a lot of the code below is commented out. This is because the
// we are just setting those values to the default values anyways.
// This gives you an idea of how little code you might have to write
// if you did your own skin! But we leave the commented code in
// to give you an idea of what you would need to do if you wanted
// to customize the skin.
// Defaults:
// * layout_mc.foo_mc.mc defaults to foo_mc
// * for seek bar, layout_mc.foo_mc.handle_mc defaults to handle_mc
// * layout_mc.foo_mc.anchorLeft defaults to true, unless anchorRight
//   is explicitly set to true and then it defaults to false
// * layout_mc.foo_mc.anchorRight defaults to false
// * layout_mc.foo_mc.anchorTop defaults to false
// * layout_mc.foo_mc.anchorBottom defaults to true, unless anchorTop
//   is explicitly set to true and then it defaults to false
// minimum width and height of video recommended to use this skin,
// leave as undefined or <= 0 if there is no minimum
layout_mc.minWidth = 155;
layout_mc.minHeight = 60;
// background for controls, some commented out because are defaults
layout_mc.bg1_mc.mc = chrome_mc;
layout_mc.bg1_mc.anchorLeft = true;
layout_mc.bg1_mc.anchorRight = true;
//layout_mc.bg1_mc.anchorBottom = true;
// playpause_mc just using all defaults, so no code needed
//layout_mc.playpause_mc.mc = playpause_mc;
//layout_mc.playpause_mc.anchorLeft = true;
//layout_mc.playpause_mc.anchorBottom = true;
// volumeMute_mc just using all defaults, so no code needed
//layout_mc.volumeMute_mc.mc = volumeMute_mc;
layout_mc.volumeMute_mc.anchorRight = true;
//layout_mc.volumeMute_mc.anchorBottom = true;
// seekBar_mc using mostly defaults, but setting
// anchorRight to true
//layout_mc.seekBar_mc.mc = seekBar_mc;
layout_mc.seekBar_mc.anchorLeft = true;
layout_mc.seekBar_mc.anchorRight = true;
//layout_mc.seekBar_mc.handle_mc = seekBarHandle_mc;
//layout_mc.seekBar_mc.progress_mc = _parent.seekBarProgress_mc;
// bufferingBar_mc using mostly defaults, but setting both anchorLeft
// and anchorRight to true and setting fill_mc
//layout_mc.bufferingBar_mc.mc = bufferingBar_mc;
layout_mc.bufferingBar_mc.anchorLeft = true;
layout_mc.bufferingBar_mc.anchorRight = true;
//layout_mc.bufferingBar_mc.fill_mc = _parent.bufferingBarFill_mc;
I have tried to add:
layout_mc.ypos = -100;   and layout_mc._y = -100;
to my ClearOverPlaySeekMute_GG_1.fla
Did not work.
Also tried inside Fla with the flv playback component to add
_y=-100
That moved the whole component up.
Then I tried to address the swf from there:
layout_mc._y = -100;
Did not work.
Then I tried to address the swf from there:
ClearOverPlaySeekMute_GG_1.swf._y = -100;
Also did not work.
What is it that decides the default position of the componet?
I am out of ideas.
ANYONE?
kglad or Ned Murphy?
Thanks on beforehand

FLV videos advance in some browsers, but won't in others

I have a .NET web app used to display a series of videos. Which video to load next is controlled by Action Script 3 calling an aspx page to retrieve data from the database and return the info via XML which tells the action script which .flv video to load. Everything works perfectly for a few people in IE7, but the next video isn't loaded for most. The call to retrieve the xml seems to be working fine, at least on the intial video. I am a .NET programmer who had to learn Action Script for this project, so needless to say I'm very new to Flash and Action Script.
Has any one had a similar experience that could shed some light on what could possibly be going wrong? The browsers that I am testing with (the one that works and the one that doesn't) are both IE7 and both have Flash Player 10. Any ideas what else I could check? All help is appreciated!

Well, I found the answer to this. It was obvious (after I found it, of course.)
My actionscript was calling a .aspx page to return xml containing which file to load next and other info needed to manage the videos. I had taken care to prevent the page that held the player from caching, but it hadn't occurred to me that the aspx page returning the xml was caching. Well, it was and kept returning the same values and that is why the video would not progress to the next one.
Anyway, to solve this I sent a random number in the querystring to make it unique and voila! it is working like it should.

Please help my flv video file works perfectly localy...but its not visible in remote ftp why??

hi All,
Please help me. my flv video file works perfectly localy in
my computer...but its not visible when i uploaded the flv html and
flash files to ftp?
thanks in advance

This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric
