How do I? (involving links and movie files)

#1. How do I get a movie to close after it has played?
#2. In my menu I have 8 links. I'd like to have 7 links disappear when the user rolls over the 1 link. How would I make the other 7 disappear when the user is rolled over 1?
Thanks.

1.  I am not well-versed in video matters, so the best I can offer is to tell you to look at the FLVPlayBack component in the help documents to see what kinds of events it can provide indications for.  It seems as though when you start a new video, it closes out the existing one, so you may want to look into that code to see how it is closing the player, and then use that code when a movie completion event is detected.  If you are using AS3, then the help docs tabulate all of the properties, methods, and events separately, so they should be easy to find.  YOu'd be looking for an event that signals the movie is done playing.
2. As I mentioned already, to control the visibility of things dynamically you need to assign instance names to each of your links, each of which needs to be either a movieclip or a button.  Then you can use actionscript to set the visibility to true or false as needed.  What I will usually do is have a function that does this for things as a group, make all the buttons invisible/visible at the same time, while keeping the selected one visible.  You still haven't divulged which version of actionscript you are using.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • How do I send a large movie file via email?

    Hi - I've been reading through the manuals about how to stream movies to be accessible to friends.
    Is there a way that I can post a short movie that I've created so that a friend overseas can have it stream onto her computer. I have created a number of versions using Quicktime Pro with the last using quicktime to save as a self-contained movie and an exported file using Movie to Hinter movie settings. I now have a quicktime movie of dimensions 960x540 and 168.6 MB. Is there any way that I can send this somehow to a friend's email address?

    Here's one way to make it available online. This assumes however you have ftp access to a server and web site and your friend has a Mac with Safari.
    1: Create a page with the Quicktime movie linked and upload the page and movie file to your server.
    The web page address might look like this: http://www.websitename.com/moviename.mov
    2: Email your friend with a link to the page.
    3: If the receiver has Safari, they should click on the link to launch the web page, then go to the Menu bar > Window > Activity.
    4: In the Activity window, a link will appear with the movie file.
    5: Select that link, copy it, open the Downloads window, paste the link into the Downloads Window.
    The file will download to your friend's computer. All this however does assume your friend has the luxury of being on a Mac.
    Tip: Export the file using Quicktime Pro's settings for Web first to make the video's file size smaller.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

    How do I pull up , and print files?

    Hi prettyboyfloyd,
    Are you referring to files saved in your Acrobat.com online account? If so, you can log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com, and then select the file that you want to print. Click the Download link at the top of the file list. Once your file has downloaded, you can open and print it.
    Best,

  • How do you combine audio and video files?

    I've brought in a video file and an audio file, but can find no way to specify that they are a single source that should be compressed together.  The documentation was of no use.  How do you identify video and audio files as being one source?
    Thanks!

    Semantics, I suppose.  In any case, you do need to go through Premiere Pro if you want AME to do the job.  There are likely other encoders out there which can perform the muxing, though, if you'd rather not go through PP.

    How can I sav an emailed .mov file to my iPad?

    Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll. 
    Hope this solves your question.

    Nonsense.
    Apple Compressor has been doing wmf exports for a decade. I have the Quicktime export components from Telestream and they appear as presets in Compressor. They should be available in Media Encoder or they should be importable. Adove apparently refuses to see them. Still trying to figure that out.

  • How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook?

    How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook (bought around 2002) ?
    The screen from the old ibook doesn´t work anymore (logicboard problem I guess).
    I saved everything else with starting it in target modus. That worked fine.
    I want to delete the files after that as well, because I wanna give away the old ibook and don´t want anyone to read my emails!
    Little helpers I have:
    A running MacBook
    External Screen (and cables to connect)
    Fire Wire Cable

    Don't know how helpful this will be but I often copy mail from one computer to another, I drag the mail from the mail window to the other computers drop box, then from the other computer double click it and mail asks me what I want to do with it, of course without a screen you'd need to use back to my mac.
    If you don't have back to my mac running, you could set up a second user account on the newer mac, import everything via target mode as suggested by c above, and then drag the mail to the first user account drop box.

  • Repeated problem of broken link and unused files

    Hi ,
    I am using RH8.0.2
    I have updated my RH8 to RH8.0.2 and then fix all broken link and did what was advised.i got result, everything was fine, I was a happy man. Today when i open the same project for updation, i found again plenty of broken links and unused file in the same project.
    Is there any permanent solution of the problem of broken links and unused file or i have to fix it every time when i open my project?
    Plz help!!!
    Br,
    Rahul

    Hi Rahul.
    Two things. Firstly some of the paths you have in your project are very long. In the example you have given we are seeing less than half the path. This may not be the problem but it maybe in the future. Secondly, as Peter has suggested, the problem maybe related to source control. Do you use it? I have heard of instances where (e.g. .FPJ) files cause issues.
