Help in creating a flv video start frame

Hi - I have a video player with autoplay=false. I'd like to
enhance it by inserting a start frame or screenshot to replace the
current black screen that comes up before the play button is
clicked. I thought it would be easy, but haven't made any progress.
Thanks.

In my new Flash Video from Adobe Press, I include examples of
creating a poster frame for the FLVPlayback component, where a
separate JPEG is downloaded and layered on top of the FLVPlayback
component. Here's a link to the demo file:
http://www.flashsupport.com/books/fvst/files/ch06/flvplayback_fp9_actionscript_preview.htm l
In the last chapter, I also show how to create a more
elaborate poster frame, which is actually another SWF file that
communicates with the FLVPlayback component:

    Hi!
    I am trying to create a video player that will allow full

    is activated.
    How can get it done?

  • Please help me load an .flv video that has been embeded onto a web page

    Hello there,
    I was hoping someone on this forum could please help me with one specific problem that I am having. I would like to embed the a flash player into an html page, and load the video from a service that has the streaming video provided.
    This is the context of the situation...
    We have created a site that was to be used on a showroom floor (no internet connection) and loaded the .flv videos at the local root level for the site.
    Now however, we would like it to be an online site. I have been able to use the flash "jw player"to load videos to play using the shadowbox javascript, but when I try to embed it onto a page and have it play, it isn't working and I am not sure why.
    Below is the code that is currently working to load the videos on the local root level.
    Might someone have any ideas on what I need to replace to have it load the videos from the streaming service?
    I would greatly appreciate any assistance that could be provided.  I can also provide a URL if it would help.
    I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance provided.
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

    Hello,
    Thanks  a lot for the reply.  However, I am pretty confident that the jw player supports the streaming video option, but as I mentioned that I was able to use it as a popup using the shadowbox javascript before. After doing a bit of investigating on how the videos are hosted, I am using "progressive download" method for these videos.
    I think the problem is that the player.swf is hosted on my website server -  and the videos are then hosted on the media hosting service.  I think that the player needs to be located on the media hosting service, and then embedded onto the page along with where to point to the .flv video.  Does that sound right?
    If so, the paramater I am using to embed the player as I mentioned in my original post is simply:
    <param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
    does the "value" then have to change to the http:// address for the video player.swf that would then be hosted on my video hosting service?
    Little help?
    Please let me know if there is anything I can provide to clarify the issue.
    Thanks

  • Pease Help!!!  Setting A Start Frame?

    Hi There,
    Is there a way to tell the movie clip loader to load a .swf
    file but begin playing on a different frame than frame one.
    Basically I have multiple buttons that I want to load the same .swf
    file but I want each button to begin playing the file on a
    different frame. I've attached the basic MCL code I'm using to load
    the movie. I can add more code if needed. Thanks in advance!
    -k
    Attach Code
    Text

    Hi. There are so many things I want to tell you about what
    you are doing here. (Not that you asked, but free advice is, well,
    free!)
    First. The on(release) handler way of doing things is so
    2001. Since then there has been much better way of handling things
    and it is so odd to see the "modern" MovieClipLoader class put
    together with something so old. So instead use timeline code and
    myInstance.onRelease=function(){}.
    David Stiller who is often on these boards has a good article
    about it here.
    http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/museum-pieces-on-and-onclipevent
    Next. I personally don't like loading into levels in Flash. I
    don't think they fit in well with the basic metaphor of Flash and
    since they aren't a class of their own they don't have many ways to
    control and manipulate them. So personally I would recommend
    loading into a movieclip instead of into _level6. But that is just
    my personal preference and has nothing to do with what you are
    asking. (I do think that _levels are gone in AS3, right?)
    Okay, finally to your actual question. You do have an
    instance of the MovieClipLoader class defined on your main timeline
    (don't even get me started on _root or _level!) right? Do you have
    the onLoadInit event handled? If so then all you have to do is put
    something in there that tells each loaded movie where to go. How do
    you know which button needs to tell which movie needs to go where?
    That I'm not sure. How do you know?

  • Slide videos (FLV's) starting and stopping

    I've published a number of swf's for a training course that I'm producing. Each of these contain a couple of FLV's, inserted as slide videos, one at the front of the slideset and the other about half way through. The problem is that a number of people who are beta testing for me are having issues replaying the FLV's within the swfs, as they keep stopping and starting before they can view them properly.
    I have a preloader on the front of every swf, so shouldn't that give enough time for the FLV to buffer before playing, or doesn't the FLV preload at all?
    I'd really appreciate some help with this.
    Thanks,
    Pippa

    Hi George,
    That's really very helpful of you!  Many thanks. However, my problem is with the FLV video starting and starting. That is being downloaded as an external file within the swf that I'm playing, so the loader widget would only have an effect upon any flash element of the swf and not upon an FLV.
    As far as I can see, the preloader doesn't have any effect upon the FLV, so if you have an FLV as the first slide, the preloader runs until the swf has downloaded, the swf starts to play, but then you get a black loading screen, while the FLV downloads.  I also have another FLV in the middle of the slideset, so when the swf gets to that point, again, I get a black loading screen until the video has downloaded. 
    I'm struggling to find a solution.  It's really very important that the swf including FLV's play smoothly all the way through, as I'm producing a set of talking head training videos with quizzes and they need to look professional. I like the way Captivate produces slidesets together with the ability to produce quizzes, but I'm not sure that the video integration is so good.
    The only option I can think of is to take out the quizzes and produce those as swfs and then publish the remainder of the slidesets as mp4's, rather than swf's.
    Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
    Thanks Pippa
    Good luck with your question, George.  I'll take a look at it, but suspect that I'm more in the dark about it than you!

  • How do I make an introduction using flv video?

    I'm trying to make a platform game and I want it to look as professional as possible however I am unable to get the basics to work. Although I have used Flash before I am still a novice so help would be much appreciated.
    What I want
    I have imported the flv video onto frame 1.
    The main menu should be on frame 2.
    I want to make it so when the user opens the application the video plays (frame 1) and then it goes and stops on the main menu screen (frame 2)
    What's going wrong
    Whenever I insert another keyframe on a different layer or blank keyframe I get this error message.
    "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
              at fl.video::UIManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::hookUpCustomComponents()

    In any layer, is there any code on the same frame where the FLVPlayback component is? If so that code would need to be moved along with the component. You would have to stop() on that frame so the video can play. It seems like the FLVPlayback component is becoming unavailable (playhead leaves that frame) prematurely. Once the video is done you should dispose the component so it has a chance to clean up and avoid errors like this.

  • URGENT help needed in creating external xml video plalist. Please help!

    I was given an assignment to  create and external video playlist using an xml file.  I have never used  flash before, know nothing about encoding and all that was given to the  class in terms of instuctions was a short tutorial that has no  resources for troubleshooting.  We were given everything; the external  playlist file equipped with the video skin, the video list, actionscript  that loads the xml and the xml file.  We were told that all we need to  do is change the names of the videos in the xml file to match the names  of our videos.  I did that.  We were also told we needed to "name  target", but we were not informed on how to do this.  I have tried  everything, visited every tutorial and I cannot figure out how to get  this damn thing to work.  I cannot even get flash to load the xml file.  PLEASE HELP.
    Here is the xml file:
    <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "i-8859-1"?>
    <playlist>
    <ADogWithoutABone
    flvurl="ADogWithoutABone.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall First Video" />
    <Highway
    flvurl="Highway.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall Second Video" />
    <PsychoBabble
    flvurl="PsychoBabble.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall Third Video" />
    <SomethingElse
    flvurl="SomethingElse.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall Fourth Video" />
    </playlist>
    I tried putting in the entire address of the file location, but it did nothing.
    Here is the actionscript in the flash file:
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("playlistXML.xml"));
    function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    var playlistXML:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
    var item:XML;
    for each(item in playlistXML.videoname) {
    trace("item: "+item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString());
    myPlayList.addItem({label:item.attribute("desc").toXMLString(), data:item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString()});
    //Select the first video
    myPlayList.selectedIndex = 0;
    //And automatically play it
    myPlayScreen.play(myPlayList.selectedItem.data);
    //Add a listener to detect when new video is selected and play it
    function listListener(event:Event) {
    myPlayScreen.play(event.target.selectedItem.data);
    myPlayList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);
    I  tried placing the full address of the xml file in, along with the file  address of the videos, but again it did nothing.  Everything is located  in the same file, and the videos in a sub file in that file. I tried  taking out the sub file and putting all the videos in the same file, but  it did nothing.  I am sure it's something very simple, but like I said I  have NO experience with this whatsoever. I am SO lost and DESPERATELY  need help. PLEASE someone SAVE MEEEE!
    Thanks

    It might be a crossdomain.xml problem.
    Please make sure that the server hosting the xml allows the domain where the swf is hosted.
    You can start with:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <cross-domain-policy>
        <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
        <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
    </cross-domain-policy>

  • Inserting FLV videos that allow student to start and stop anywhere

    Hello,
    I am inserting flv videos that students need to be able to start and stop anywhere, and when the video reaches the end, the student clicks on the NEXT button to go to next slide.
    As long as the student lets the video play without any interruptions, the NEXT button appears at the end.
    THe problem I am having is that everything works except the NEXT button is not appearing at the end of the Video unless the NEXT button is visible for the whole time the video is on.
    If the NEXT button is visible during the whole time the video is showing, the student is able to skip the video without watching it.
    I need the students to view the whole video as part of the course.
    Is this possible?

    Your original post didn't mention that the students should be able to repeat a portion of the video again if they choose to do so. This of course complicates matters further as you would then need to show either one of the standard Captivate playbars or use a Playbar widget as you are doing now. However, this also opens up for the user being able to skip the video once again, so it's not the best solution.
    As I see it you have two options:
    1) Present the video without the playbar as I described in my first post. Add the next button at the end of the video. This will make sure that the video has been watched to the end before the user can continue to the next slide. Perhaps you could add a "Replay" button so that the user would be able to watch the entire video again simply by replaying the slide.You can create Start and Stop(Pause) buttons by inserting Smart Shapes or Regular buttons and assign an Advanced Action to Pause or Continue the project.
    2) Modify one of the Playbar widgets so that the scrubber and the next button isn't activated until a certain frame has been reached on that particular slide. Once this frame is reached the widget could activate Play and Scrubber allowing the users to navigate to the next slide or move around in the video. However, this requires extensive knowledge of Flash and Actionscript to achieve and it will also be a very troublesome approach as the frame numbers would change if you insert new slides (or extend / shorten existing slides) prior to the slide(s) containing the video.

  • How to create "transition" while FLV Videos load before and during "chaining" or "looping"

    The Status:
    OK, I now have Action Script 3 that will work for chaining FLV videos... or Looping an FLV video.
    But when one video ends there is a short pause before the next one loads and starts... the progress bar for the Flash Player displays diagional green lines... and it is simply not a smooth transistion.
    This happens when chaining or when looping.
    And, even though I'm doing a progressive download... where the video starts very quickly... and plays while it downloads... there is a short delay at the start. That is not as noticable as the break between videos or when looping back to replay the same video.
    The Question:
    Is there a way to create a visual transistion... say a rotating object... or something to keep the motion/action going during that short interval?
    I've seen something like this before... like two (broken line) circles rotating in opposit directions... or something.
    It show the "busy" status or whatever I guess.
    Thanks for any help.

    That depends on how you're loading your videos. Assuming you're using a loader object, you would add/show and remove/hide this
    animation while you're waiting for the load of the video to complete. If you're loading the file(s) directly into a FLVPlayback object then you'll want to do this:
    import lash.events.VideoEvent;
    FLVPlaybackObject.addEventListener(VideoEvent.bufferingStateEntered, showBufferState);
    FLVPlaybackObject.addEventListener(VideoEvent.playingStateEntered, clearBufferAnimation);
    function showBufferState(e:VideoEvent):void
         //Do your busy animation here
    function clearBufferAnimation(e:VideoEvent):void
         //Hide/stop your busy animation here
    However, I may be all wrong about your methods. Let me know if this works or if you need anymore help. Thanks,
    -Jesse

  • Help me find syntax error in AS3 code to chain FLV videos.

    I posted a how to do this a couple of weeks back & someone was kind enough to offer this advice to an AS newbie...
    "you should create a fla, drag an flvplayback component to the stage, create an array of your flvs, initialize an index at zero, assign the flv to start playing your first flv and increment the index in a function that executes when an flv complete and play that array element until all are played.  you'll publish your html and swf from that fla." 
    And he gave me a code sample which is below... modified to show my "instance" name as FlvChain
    and my flv file names... vid1.flv, vid2.flv, and vid3.flv...
    My code...
    import fl.video.VideoEvent;
    var flvA:Array=["vid1.flv","vid2.flv","vid3.flv"];
    var index:uint=0;
    FlvChain.source=flvA[index];
    FlvChain.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,completeF){
    index++;
    if(index<flvA.length){
    FlvChain.source=flvA[index];
    } else {
    // all flvs played
    When I attempt to Debug I get this message...
    "1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program."
    I'm sure I made a silly error. I've never done AS before I'm running CS3 & AS3 on a PC with XP Pro.
    Thanks for any help.

    use:
    import fl.video.VideoEvent;
    var flvA:Array=["vid1.flv","vid2.flv","vid3.flv"];
    var index:uint=0;
    FlvChain.source=flvA[index];
    FlvChain.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,completeF);
    function completeF(e:VideoEvent)
    index++;
    if(index<flvA.length){
    FlvChain.source=flvA[index];
    } else {
    // all flvs played

  • Flv video created with flash 8 video encoder

    anyone know why flv files that I've created using the flash 8
    video encoder don't seem to have any metadata in them? or maybe
    they do but they never kick off the NetStream.onMetadata event so I
    can't read it...
    Similarly if I use the 'import video' function of Flash Pro 8
    I get the same issue - yet FLV video created using Sorenson Squeeze
    works fine, so I'm fairly confident that my code is OK.
    Even more bizarrely, if I use the FLVPlayback component that
    ships with Flash 8, that seems to read in the metadata OK!
    argh!
    Just to confuse things even more, the flash help for
    NetStream.onMetadata says: "The Flash Video Exporter utility
    (version
    1.1 or greater) embeds a video's duration [...] into the
    video file itself."
    As far as I can tell I've got version 1.0 of the flash video
    encoder/exporter but I'm damned if I can find out where to get an
    update from...! Ever since CS3 came out it's been harder and harder
    to get hold of stuff about flash 8 on the Adobe site...

    well that's the thing - the metadata never traces out if the
    video was encoded with flash video encoder, but that code would
    work fine with video encoded with sorenson squeeze.
    think I have worked it out now though: in order to pause the
    video at start I am calling NetStream.seek(0) when I receive
    "NetStream.play.start".
    For some reason when I do this with flvs encoded using flash
    video encoder, it stops the onMetaData event from firing - but
    works fine with other flvs! weird... shall have to find another way
    of pausing the video at the start I guess.
    thanks for the reply though

    experience but im quite desperate with an issue that i can´t
    solve, please help help, if you know the solution to my issue my
    email is [email protected], thanks so much, i explain now
    * im building an application in which i have to show many flv
    videos dynamically, i have tried with both systems, with the
    FLVPlayback component being created dynamically and with the
    simpler netconnection and netstream etc way, the thing itself works
    no probs , the videos get created no probs at all, now the problem
    is that videos stop playing just after they start, or they play a
    few times and then they freeze or sometimes they dont even load at
    all, this happens both locally and remotelly
    * i read about the MIME video/x-flv issue, i have apache in
    my computer so i set the MIME right there and i still have the
    problem, so it doesnt seem that the MIME issue is the problem, even
    more:
    * first, to provide context, i have a PC with Windows Vista,
    and Flash CS3 Professional, and Flash CS3 Video Converter and Riva
    FLV Encoder, locally i have Apache and PHP installed, remotely a
    fasthosts server
    * i have found that if i encode the videos without audio!
    they almost always work, but here comes the desperating thing, if i
    encode them without audio, they always load, but they still freeze
    sometimes.... so if videos have audio, often they dont even load,
    if they dont have audio, often they work perfect and play, but
    still after playing 2 times maybe they freeze and they dont play
    more
    * i have executed my application in the flash environment, in
    a browser locally, locally in localhost through apache, and online
    in a fasthosts server;
    * i thought i had found something when i realized that if i
    encoded the videos with no audio they seemed to play well no probs,
    but i have found that even then they will freeze and stop moving
    after a while often
    * to encode i have tried many things! the Flash CS3 video
    encoder with different settings, and also the RIVA FLV Encoder
    * i have also , thinking that the kind of video source could
    be important, i have encoded a couple of different sources with
    same results, i encoded uncompressed AVIs and also wmvs
    please anybody can help, as im quite desperate with this,
    thanks very much, my email is [email protected]
    all best and thank you

    hi again, i have noticed also that sometimes videos play well
    in Firefox, and not in explorer, why could this be? ive heard of
    other people with similar problems but didnt find a solution
    anywhere, some tests work perfect in firefox online and not at all
    in Explorer, any idea?
    its all coded in actionscript 3
    thank u very much

  • How to create a mask on individual frames of a video in Photoshop CS5 extended

    I am working on a video piece and I need to mask out a moving figure throughout the entire video, what is the best way to to this?  I know that I can import the video frames to layers in CS3 and then create a mask on each frame, but there are thousands of frames - and when I render the video from the animation it is slow to run in quicktime.  Even if I were able to edit each frame, it seems like there should be a better way... I'm not terribly familiar with using Photoshop to edit video, maybe there is another program that would do what I want in a better way?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This sounds like something Adobe Edge would be perfect for if it would just support video importing.
    I created a mask over a video in Flash, but I had to convert the background video (which is masked) from mov to flv. Then you import it into Flash and stick the transparent PNG on a top layer for a mask. You can also animate the mask in Flash somewhat... more so if it's a vector object.
    Result: Http://www2.avatarix.com/manatee
    I would prefer to do this in HTML5 though... which is what Adobe Edge is for. But I can't figure out how to import video into Edge. I've tried 5 different video formats... webm, ogv, mp4, mov and flv.
    Hoping this will be a feature when it's finally out in the market.
    The struggle continues.
