FLVPlayback Component Volume Issue

Hopefully someone can give me a hand with this one. I'm using the FLVPlayback component to play a movie. In the parameters, I'm setting volume to "8" where the default is "1".
This works great and gives me the right volume setting, but if the user touches the volume slider (which I'd like to keep), the new maximum volume is only one.
Any idea how to set the max volume for the volume slider? I'd have thought the volume parameter setting would be tied to this.
Thanks!

Thanks, Kibbik. That's actually very helpful. I guess I was just wondering if there was a method to reset the max volume of the slider to 200% or something similar, but I suppose not.
I figured redoing the volume on the original movie was one solution, but it would be nice to see the component rewritten so as to reset the max volume of the slider to the volume parameter setting.

Controlling the FLVplayback component Volume

Hi there,
I have a FLVPlayback component which I have modified to the
core.There is one problem with the volume slider. Im using Flash
Professional 8 with XP, and the skin Im using is
"steelExternalAll". Suppose I load some file into the contentPath,
it plays, and I drag the volume slider up (100%) and down(0%) for a
couple of time I get a bug. The bug is that when Im finally in the
down state, with 0% I still hear the sound which was in the
previous status, say 38 or 50%. And it happens in the reverse too.
Why is this happening? Can i resolve it?
I tried doing this using a fresh FLASH file, still the result
is the same. It happens once in a 10 times, but this surely is a
defect i need to handle. I dont think I have enough API's to do
something serious. Can anyone help me out?

Hi kglad,
Greetings. Felt so glad when I saw your reply saying that the
problem was with the skinning, because I did one hell of a
skinning. But I had a crosscheck. I tool a sample
"steelExternalAll" skin, just like it is in the component panel,
and just added a contentPath. Simple. I checked for the volume
slider problem, and there it was.
I can find the problem in the normal unmodified skin. This is
the same problem I face. Can this be solved. There is no other code
piece Im using other than the one given below.
Thanks a lot for your kind patience.

A better way to determine the current state of the FLVPlayback component?

Below is the AS3 code I have used to display images (MCs) over an instance of the FLVPlayback component. These images (one for loading, one for the title) are to appear – or disappear – according to the current state of the FLVPlayback component.
It “works,” but when testing, I have noticed that it can be rather finicky. The most common issue that arises is that many times the loadPoster movieclip will still be visible even though the video has entered the playing state.
Also, I wanted a title placeholder image to appear whenever the user stops the video or if the video completes. However, I had to add the conditional statement to the “stoppedStateEntered” case to make everything appear when expected. When the video is first viewed (and has completed buffering), it seems that the FLVPlayback component enters the stopped state before entering the playing state. Thus, the titlePoster would flash on the screen right before it and the loadPoster “should” disappear when the video begins playing.
Even in my limited testing, these issues were very easily re-created. I am definitely looking for a more reliable solution. Is there a better (or more correct) way to go about all this? If possible, I would like to stick with the FLVPlayback component, just for the simple fact of not having to code my own.
Where am I going wrong?
function updateMoviePoster(event:VideoEvent):void
                switch (event.type)
                                case "playingStateEntered":
                                                loadPoster.visible = false;
                                                titlePoster.visible = false;
                                break;
                                case "stoppedStateEntered":
                                                if (loadPoster.visible == false)
                                                                titlePoster.visible = true;
                                break;
                                case "complete":
                                                titlePoster.visible = true;
                                break;
myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, updateMoviePoster);
myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STOPPED_STATE_ENTERED, updateMoviePoster);
myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, updateMoviePoster);

Any suggestions? I would truly appreciate the help.

FLVplayback component problem

my flash movie contains FLVPlayback component to play videos.
In the begining of the movie( frame 1) I have a simple pre-loader.
When I test my swf on a browser the pre-loader appear only after
few second, not immediately. (my pre-loader start from 40%). I
think the reason is that flash load the FLVPlayback component on
the first frame although my component appears only on the second
frame . Is there any work around this issue?
Thanks

I am having the exact same problem. Thanks for info that this
is caused by movie being the same size as the stage. I am also
working on a solution and will let you know if I find one.

FLVPlayback Component for AIR & IOS

Hello,
I have referenced this and other forums several times in regards to this question, but would like to canvas it myself here once more in hopes of any new or additional insights that were absent before.
I am developing an AIR application that uses a long (45min) video as a centerpiece. It necessarily (I think) needs to be applied with the FLVPlayback component because it is both masked by menu and playback controls, and has a large variety of interactive content layered on top of the full-screen (more or less) video. As of now, the video is encoded in FLV, and works fairly well, but I do have some lingering performance issues, which I am asking help with here today.
I have read that using FLV in iOS apps is not advised, but for the reasons listed above I most likely will have to do so. I don't think I can use the other options (stagevideo, or otherwise) due to the layering of content above the video, and an irregular mask. I have placed the video in the main directory of the app package (which made all the difference), used GPU, and tweaked the encoding ad nauseam. While all-in-all it has resulted in "okay" performance, I still have a slight but noticeable skip/hiccup/jump in the video during the more graphically intense portions of the production. This only occurs on the iPhone 4/s devices, while the iPhone 5 experience is flawless.
So I am asking for ANY help/suggestions anyone could offer towards a possible solution/improvement to this problem. I would be grateful for any other setting, encoding, file structure, or alternate suggestions that I have not thought of or addressed.
Thank you.

Hi Freelance77,
The product team would like to know the steps to reproduce this issue. After that, we can try solving it for you. Do let us know.

Opening .mp4 files using flvplayback component 2.5 in Air 3.2

I've publishing the package using the extended desktop profile and captive runtime.
When I run the published .exe file from a hard disk (either on my local machine or other test machines) it works fine, so I know that I have my code at least partially correct.
I'm accessing the .mp4 files from a subdirectory of the applicationDirectory (eg: app:/video), the file names are read in from a .xml file.
Example structure:
exampleVideoSource = File.applicationDirectory.url+"video/12-16/attacking when in balance/counterattacking 2.mp4"
Is this likely to confuse the FLVplayback component, if so what's the best way to get a working path?
Thanks,
Dan

Discovered the issue.
For mounted drives you need to use the nativePath property.
For cross platform applications you can simply replace() the delimiter with the .separator property.
Also for some reason the skin wouldn't load, despite the fact that I had chosen it in the component selector.
I ended up setting the myFLVplayback.skin property just before I added the component to the stage.
On a related note, does anyone know if there's a difference between publishing an app with included folders, and simply publishing the app and adding the folders to the .app directory after the .app folder has been published?

FLVPlayback component connection

I would like to specify my own NetConnection instance for
FLVPlayback connection to Flash media Server 2. Is this possible,
perhaps by using the FLVPlayback.ncMgr property?
Thanks in advance as this is really stalling development of
my application, which uses multiple instances of FLVPlayback over
multiple pages... therefore I really need just one NetConnection to
FMS2.
Please note that I'm looking into the FLVPlayback component
as a more robust player inplace of my NetStream setup.
I really am stuck on this and need some help.

apologies, but in the code above gives these errors:
Scene 1, Layer 'Scripts', Frame 1, Line 105 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method toString through a reference with static type fl.video:VideoError.          (line 105 is : trace("3 - VideoError: " + e.toString());)
Scene 1, Layer 'Scripts', Frame 1, Line 108 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method toString through a reference with static type fl.video:VideoError.          (line 108 is : trace("3 - VideoError: " + e.toString());)
Scene 1, Layer 'Scripts', Frame 1, Line 96 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type uint to an unrelated type String.                                                                     (line 96 is: V1.addEventListener (VideoError.NO_CONNECTION, sourceFailed);)
The issue seems to be in the VideoError listener, even leaving just something like:
          V1.addEventListener (VideoError.NO_CONNECTION, sourceFailed);
          function sourceFailed (e:VideoError):void     { trace ("VideoError") }
Still gives the eror: Scene 1, Layer 'Scripts', Frame 1, Line 96 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type uint to an unrelated type String.

How to recognize FLVPlayback Component

Publish to Flash 8 and using the FLVPlayback component as part of a larger elearning course.
We have a legacy pause button that works by recursively looking through every item on stage and if the item is a movieclip following its children and so on. Something like this (there is more to the whole thing, but this is where the problem is):
findCurrent = function (obj)
// RECURSIVE SEARCH FOR MOVIECLIPS
for (var i in obj) {
if (typeof (obj[i]) == "movieclip" && obj[i] != obj) {
   if (obj[i]._name == "pauser"{
    continue;
   var m = obj[i];
   m.frameWas = m._currentFrame;
   isCurrent.push(m);
   findCurrent(m);
The issue is that when using the FLVPlayback component the 256 recursions limit is reached. I'm guessing that the video part contains a reference to playback controls skin and the playback controls skin contains a reference to the video part and the recursion just goes round and round till it hits the limit and then all actionscript is disabled for the rest of the file.
I thought of adding a counter, and that is probabaly a good idea, but I was wondering if there is anyway to identify that I've hit a video player and stop following it?
Obviously the topeof(myVideoPlayer) is coming back as "movieclip" or I wouldn't be getting this problem. I don't think there is a getQualifiedName for AS2, right? I looked at the properties and couldn't find one that said, "clearlyVideoPlayer."
So does anybody else have any suggestions?

if you don't have other components/movieclips (that use boundingBox_mc):
findCurrent = function (obj) {
    // RECURSIVE SEARCH FOR MOVIECLIPS
    for (var i in obj) {
        if (typeof (obj[i]) == "movieclip" && obj[i]._parent==obj) {
            if(i=="boundingBox_mc"){
                findPauseF(obj);
                abortSearch=true;
            if(!abortSearch){
                findCurrent(obj[i]);
function findPauseF(flv:MovieClip){
    // do whatever with flv

Unable to drag FLVPlayback Component onto stage

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on why I can't
drag the FLVPlayback Component (AS3 version) onto the stage? I open
Component Inspector, and see the component, yet when I try and drag
it onto the stage, or into the Library, nothing happens. Each of
the individual controls, I don't have an issue with, they appear as
soon as I drag them, however the FLVPlayBack component won't have a
bar of it.

One or more of the files in the iPhoto Library are corrupted.
You can right click on the iPhoto Library and "Show Package Contents" inside is a folder called Originals.
You can mess around and copy files in small batches until you hit the snag.

FLVPlayback Component fails to call FLV source

I have a progressive download FLV set up using the
FLVPlayback Component which has cue points embeded. Everything
plays back correctly locally or over a network. But once the files
are deployed to the web the link to the FLV is broken. The Activity
in Safari reports that the FLV file is not found, when it clearly
is in the directory as it should be.
Is there any reason to use Netconn and NetStream with this
setup, or should this work as is? Any ideas how to cure this. I was
up all night trying to reach a deadline for today (Tuesday) and I
banging my head on my desk at this point.
The link can be tested here...

I am sad to say that is one element I could never figure out.
The FLV is external and it buffers, so I am not sure it actually
needs to be preloaded (or can be). The workaround is to hide the
FLVPLayback component by making it invisible. Make sure it is not
set to autoplay. Set the video content path early and the video
will load into the hidden component. Then when you want the user to
see the video you make it visible and start it playing, as it is
sitting there pre-buffered and ready to go.
Hope that makes sense.
Here are some discussions and nobody seems to have it figured
out:

New FLVPlayBack component and RTMP protocol

hi all
I'm using "FlvPlayBack" component that ships with Flash 8 to
play a bunch of FLV's from an XML file. According to the
documentation (given that my component on the stage is called X), I
can do:
X.contentPath = "rtmp://server/foo/bar.flv";
and i should be set. The problem is that the above doesn't
work
now the same program works if i feed it an XML with paths to
local FLV files (instead of over RTMP protocol) -- also I can
stream the files using Netconnection/Netstream combo
it's only when i do
X.contentPath = "rtmp://server/foo/bar.flv";
that i get into probelm

Did you configure the FMS properly? Did you put the main.asc
file in the application folder (check out this link:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00003495.html).
Try to debug the issue. Start with FMS administration console
and check if you get any incomming connection.
If no, make sure your can access the "server" domain.
If yes, check you have placed the files in the application
folder as needed.
Check the logs from the FMS.
If still not working post some more details. My bet goes with
the main.asc which handle the connection with flvplayback
component.

Volume issues with GE60 Apache Pro-003

I recently picked up the new GE60 Apache Pro notebook, and I've been running it for about a week now. I should of course mention that I also did a clean windows install after adding an SSD to the system (and now can't figure out how to add back that cool MSI panel that was there when I first got the system).
Anyway, I've noticed that there seems to be volume issues with the system no matter WHAT kind of settings I tweak, or drivers I try to use. With all sliders up at maximum, the volume levels still never seem to surpass around 50% (from observing the volume gauges in the Windows Volume mixer panel). My previous notebook's speakers put out significantly higher volume, and was also able to put out far more power to my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50).
Any possible ideas for the cause and solution to this problem? Thanks in advance, and let me know if there is anything else I need to mention.

Quote from: darkhawk on 02-April-14, 20:44:14
What are you using to gauge the '50%'? MP3's? Windows sounds? or what?
Pretty much everything. Music, games, online videos... According to the volume mixer, the audio levels never seem to pass 50%. The grey bar bounces to the peak, but the green bar never seems to pass the 50% level. It's as if there's some sort of limiter in place I'm not aware of. And since I reformatted the notebook as soon as I got it, I was never able to see if the volume control worked correctly before the reformat.

Need to stop playback of an FLVPlayback component when navigate away from page!

I have an movieclip playing as auto start on the first page of my website. The component continues to play when I navigate away from the page. How can I stop the playback of the movie if it has not completed when navigation away from the page is invoked. I have search and am unable to find such an event using an FLVPlayback component. Presently there is no code in actionscript to display here.
thanks

Has Anyone sent the iphone in for repair for the low volume issue ???

I called apple last week and spoke with a level on support agent. After he could not solve the volume issue they sent me to level two. the level two tech took the call and told me right away that they were going to send me a new phone. I give him my credit card as a deposit so they would send a new phone and when I had the new phone I could then send the old one back. Well after a few days I called to check on the phone and found out he never placed the order and now they say they want to send it for repair some place in Texas. They did offer the rent me a phone for 29.00 while I wait for repair. I told them no rental for me. How bad is that, a hardware issue and they say they are going to send a new phone and never do then they offer a repair and to rent me a phone. I was wondering if anyone had sent in the phone for this issue yet. I do not think I am going to send it in and I think I am going to get my refund while I still can. I just thought I would check to see if anyone had sent the phone in for repair yet and how it worked out.
Andrew

How are any of us (Apple users just like you) supposed to have any idea?
We weren't there. We don't know the specifics of what happened to your iPhone.
Ask the store that repaired it.
