Load external flv as background video and loop

Hi, I want to have a subtle background video playing behind a slideshow. What's the code to attach a video and have it loop endlessly? Actionscript 3/AS3 only.
Thanks,

Updated Help
My friend is using VB.net to code a koisk. We would like if
possible to be able to set the background color using the VB.net
program. to be able to change background to a RGB color using the
external program. I do not know Flash coding, I only know how to do
buttons. I am guessing i will need some sort of global varible to
set this up. Any help would be great
Thanks.

Existing 'load external .flv' code?

Recently, I found a great little Flash project that acts like a jukebox for external mp3 song files, and am using it on my website to play my song demos.
I'm now trying to find if there is an existing solution like that for video. I just need some way to progressively download video files from my webspace when the thumbnail is clicked... and am now looking into some sort of Flash jukebox.
I've tried just embedding the video files into HTML, but they don't progressively download for some reason (even though they are saved as Progressive With Compressed Header). I've even tried using prettyPhoto (...a script that mimics a Lightbox like feature, where the whole page dims, and a floating window appears over your site, displaying any media, and allowing you to move back/forth through your list of media)..... works great, but again, not a progressive download, so you stare at a blank screen for a while.
Seems the only way it works is if I have the file on YouTube or some other site, then embed it or use the prettyPhoto app.
So, can someone either tell me how to make the embedded file download (OT, but I figured I'd ask), or point at some existing Flash file that serves as a video jukebox, showing all media on a common window?

Hi,
You can load external .flv files which is placed on your web server. You have to add a small amount of AS3 code into your flash document. Please click on the below link
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/media/Video.html
Please use the sample code which is provided in the bottom of the page. In the code, you will find a line
private var videoURL:String = "Video.flv";
In the above line, instead of "Video.flv", you have to give your webserver path like http://www.domainname.com/foldername/videofilename.flv
(The above code does the progressive download of an video)
You can play the video through progressive download, by click on an image. To achieve that, you need to place the above code inside the mouse click function of an image.
Thanks

Load external FLV files?

I would like my desktop AIR app (built in Flash CS3) to load
and play external FLV files which are on the same computer/hard
drive but are not packaged as part of the AIR app. Is there a way
to do this with the sandbox restrictions AIR has? If so can you
point me to a sample or documentation?
Excuse me if this is an obvious subject but the information
out there is incomplete and confusing.

I'm still running into the following: As soon as I test the
movie, I get the following in the area where the video should
appear:
status (0 seconds)
Level: status
Code: NetStream.Play.Start
status (0.434 seconds)
Level: status
Code: NetStream.Buffer.Flush
status (4.898 seconds)
Level: status
Code: NetStream.Play.Stop
It doesn't matter if I click the button or not. The video is
on my network.

NaN with loading external flv

Hi all
I'm having some strange diffulties which I can't solve.
I'm starting off with a website.swf which loads different
external swf's depending on the button that has been pressed.
One of those swf's is a file with different buttons to load
different external flv's.
While loading a flv a progressbar shows the percentage of the
loaded part of the flv
Now: If I play the first video file everything works fine
While switching to another button to load another flv during
the loading of the first flv, My percentage says NaN. and stops
loading.
On each button I say:
on (press) {
stream_ns.close();
connection_nc.close();
_parent.videoloader_mc.unloadMovie();
on (release) {
_parent.videoloader_mc.loadMovie("movies/binnenkomers01.swf");
This is the part I use for loading a flv in f.ex
binnenkomers01.swf.
stop();
delete _global.loaded_interval;

External flv help

Hi..in the past I've used layers to load videos. On a button,
one swf with
embedded video would simply replace the previous one on the
same level.
Trying to enter the world of external FLV. I want to do the
same thing. Load
external FLV and when button is pushed, have that FLV be
replaced with a new
external FLV. I can load the first one but can't seem to find
out how to
unload that one and replace it with another when a new button
is pushed?
Here is normal code to load and control the first external
flv off a button.
Works fine. Now how can I have more buttons that simply
unload the current
FLV and replace it with another?
Thanks so much.
var my_nc = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var step2_ns = new NetStream(my_nc);
step2_ns.onStatus = function (infoObject) {
if(infoObject.level.toLowerCase() == "error") {
// your own error handling code here
trace(infoObject.code);
holder_video.attachVideo(step2_ns);
attachVideo_btn.onRelease = function () {
step2_ns.play("ballys.flv");
rewindVideo_btn.onRelease = function () {

step2_ns.pause(true);
playVideo_btn.onRelease = function () {
step2_ns.pause(false);
close_btn.onRelease = function(){
stream_ns.close();

Thanks for the help. I'm not loading the flv into a premade
component I'm
loading it into a "holder" so it can appear on the stage as

How can I fade in menus with background video?

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum (and to DVD SP) and have searched without being able to find out how to get my menus to work in this scenario:
I have a short (6s) background video that does not loop and ends on a still frame.
There are two drop zones, both with semi-transparent areas so that I can see the video play underneath. One drop zone has my title (as text in DVD SP) and the other has my "play" button.
I want my video to play for 5s and then have all the other elements fade in over the last second.
Here's what I've tried (thanks to suggestions from here and dvdstudiopro.digitalmedianet.com--which uses js that really bogs down Firefox, BTW):
A. I created a custom patch using PS that's a 6s .mov file that's simply a black mask that fades to white.-->this causes my drop zones (which are layered psd files with a mask of their own) to fade up, BUT the custom patch overrides the drop zone mask and causes the drop zone to become completely opaque.
B. I tried separating the background video and menus into separate menus in DVD SP. The first menu plays the video, then jump to the second menu which contains the last frame of the video as a still with the drop zones and button on top.-->this works but there is a noticable delay going from menu 1 to menu 2 and it looks horrible.
C. I created a 6s .mov file in FCP that does exactly what I want, but when I bring it into DVD SP, the quality suffers.-->I exported without compression from FCP and with, same bad results (especially in text).
Is there a way for me to get this to work gracefully?
I put a still of my menu with callouts at this url if it helps:
http://infactfilms.com/dvdmenu/
Thanks very much and I appreciate the wealth of info in this forum.
Cheers!

Hi
Read this note about Menu rendering in DVDSP:
If you edit all your elements in FCP, adding the graphic fade in/outs, texts, etc and then export it directly with Compressor to MPEG2, and use that file/s as Menu backgrounds, DVDSP will not re-encode these menus.
If you add in DVDSP text, graphic for buttons, drop zones, etc it will need to render and encode the background again to add those graphics.
Take care of what video format you choose in FCP for your background edit. DV codec works really bad with graphic elements; you better choose DVCPRO50 sequence settings and export directly from FCP through Compressor. That way FCP will use the raw info from each frame and not the render files as if you export as Quicktime Movie.
Hope that helps !

Trouble with loading external mp3 files

I apologize for the length of the post. I hope this is clear
of what I am trying to explain.
My problem deals with getting "undefined" when I press a
button to load an external mp3 files. The following is what my XML
childNode looks like:
<option phonetic="Soundless, or A" name="aleph"
cursive="alephCursive.swf" block="alephBlock.swf"
audio="char1.mp3"/>
Every attribute loads the way I've programmed them, except
for the last one "audio".
The following is what my actionscript looks like loading in
these attributes:
Everything is happening inside the onLoad event for my XML
file.
var xmlContent = this.firstChild.firstChild;
audioContent = new Array();
for (var i = 0;
i<this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
nextEntry = xmlContent.childNodes
audioContent = [nextEntry.attributes.phonetic,
nextEntry.attributes.name, nextEntry.attributes.cursive,
extEntry.attributes.block, nextEntry.attributes.audio];
The code above simply adds each attribute to the audioContent
array. Each element traces out correctly.
The following code is how I am using these attributes:
for (var i = 0; i<audioLength; i++) {
audioContainer.attachMovie("container4", "audioItem"+i, i);
// Create a shortcut reference to the present movie clip
thisClip = audioContainer["audioItem"+i];
thisClip.myTxt1.htmlText = audioContent[0];
thisClip.myTxt2.htmlText = audioContent
[1];
thisClip.cursive_mc =
loadThis(assetPath+audioContent[2], thisClip.cursive_mc);
thisClip.block_mc = loadThis(assetPath+audioContent
[3], thisClip.block_mc);
thisClip.speaker_mc.attachMovie("speaker", "speaker_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.nextFrame();
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this.prevFrame();
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRelease = function() {
mySnd.loadSound(audioPath+audioContent[4],true);
Loading the text works inside the htmlText. Using a function
loadThis to load external swf files works corerctly and even
attaching a linked movieclip from my library called "speaker" works
correctly.
The problem comes from pressing the speaker movieclip that
the output traces "undefined" instead of the external mp3 file.
I appreciate any help. Thanks.

As Ned said the problem might be with the file structure on the server. Other problems may be with spelling. You computer may not be case sensitive to the names of the .swf files that you are loading, but your server might. So, on your computer when you are testing, second.swf is the same as Second.swf, or even second.SWF. But, on the server each of these variations is seen as a different file. Another problem is that when you are loading files from the same computer in testing, those files are close and so they load very quickly from your computer. When the files have to travel from the server, there will likely be a measurable period of time before the file is ready to be shown. This is particularly problematic with video that is embedded into an .swf. The whole file will need to be downloaded and uncompressed before it is available to play. If you stream the video as an external file, you can shorten the wait considerably.

Flash streaming external flv files

I have a web page which contains a flash object embeded in
it, this flash is streaming external flv files. The flash was being
displayed correctly when the website was hosted on a windows 2000
server but when the site was moved to a windows 2003 server the
flash is no longer displayed, instead of it a box with undefined
text inside it. I searched the Adobe support center and found this
Tech Note about adding the MIME Type through IIS since windows 2003
doesn't stream flv files. I followed the steps mentioned but still
am getting the undefined box
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19439&sliceId=2
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

This is the problem.
When Flash Player movie files that stream external FLV files
(Flash videos) are placed on a Microsoft Windows 2003 server and
then viewed in a browser, the SWF file plays correctly, but the FLV
video does not stream. These files work correctly if tested on
other operating systems. The issue affects all FLV files played via
Windows 2003 server
And can be solved by....
1. On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information
Services Manager.
2. Expand the Local Computer Server.
3. Right-click the local computer server and select
Properties.
4. Select the MIME Types tab.
5. Click New and enter the following information:
* Associated Extension box: .FLV
* MIME Type box:flv-application/octet-stream
6. Click OK.
7. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.

Background removed when loop point changed

I set up a menu with a number of animated video thumbnail buttons. All worked fine.
Then I changed the loop timing value and the background layer was filled with the background colour (black) instead of the still image that was there initially. Very repeatable 'feature'. And rather boring.
Has anyone else found this? Is this finger trouble on my part or something else?
Encore CS3.0.1.008
Win XP SP2, Core 2 Duo 2.8, 2Gb RAM, NVidia 8800GTX - all drivers up to date.

I hadn't noticed this before (due to my workflow with titles, multicam and timecode settings, I probably never would have either). But I can reproduce it on my system (PrPro CS5).
Interesting thing is, with my sequence, the start time is 18:00:00:00 so it just shows black video behind the title. However, if I scrub the timecode INSIDE the title designer window, then it updates to the proper frame and remains that way until I close the titler window. So that at least provides a temporary workaround, but it IS a bug (since the feature is not working as it was intended to work).
It would be feature request if it was for some operation or procedure that wasn't already in the intended code for the application. So again, in this case there is a workaround, but it is technically a bug since the "Show Background Video" and "Background Video Timecode" should match up. It's just that there's a piece of logic missing when the sequence zero point is NOT "0"

Load external images and video in edge

Hi.
I am looking into edge instead of flash.
My question is how do you load external images and videos from an external server?
To clarify, I need to insert a link from where the images can load into the stage, so they don´t take up any of the final weight.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Stig.

The above solution I provided works if you already have the images in your composition and than if you want form load images from another server rather than the relative location to your html file.
Now if you want to load images dynamically into a rectagle containter you will have to code it.
below is a sample for that
Create a 'rectangle' with name 'Rectagle'.
Add the snippet in the compositon ready or on other user actiosn based on your requirement
var myImagetag = '<img src="http://wwwimages.adobe.com/include/style/default/SiteHeader/logo-2x.png">'
sym.$("Rectangle").append(myImagetag);

Flash Player 9 pausing on intial load of external FLV

After upgrading my Flash player to version 9, I get a very
noticeable pause when loading an External FLV into a custom FLV
player that doesn't happen on versions 7 and 8. There is a
buffering/loading animation movie clip that also locks upafter the
initial call to the NetStream.play method. The longer the video,
the longer the pause. The video eventually plays but this initial
behavior is definitely undesired.
I also noticed that the browser (IE 6.0.2900) itself locks up
(reports as Not Responding) if you try to resize,move or click on
the address bar while the unexpected pause is taking place.

Hi Stylianos!
Navigate to
HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins: In here do you see a file named Flash Player.plugin?
If so, click on it once to highlight it.

This is the only thing that crashing my site. The load external video methods nice but if I can’t make practical use of it, its useless. Any actionscript gurus out there know a solution to fix this problem? Your help would be much appreciated. Btw, the fla and the flv are in the same folder.

To reposition video you just need to change its x and y:
video.x = [Number];
video.y = [Number];
Also, you should take advantage of onMetaData and resize the video to it doesn't have black box around it.

Flash video loaded into FLV Player choppy

I just upgraded to Flash 8 tonight, so I'm a little bit of a
newbie as to the new FLV Player that's included (so cool though!!!)
I was supposed to add a Preloader to a client's file tonight
and got nowhere :(
The Flash video that's being loaded into the FLV Player is
choppy and I can't figure out how to add a preloader. I tried the
AS from the help file, but it didn't work out. I'm assuming this AS
is not for use with the FLV Player?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I'm at my wits end with this
and confused as to why I can't preload the movie. The preloader
just blinks for a second, then the movie plays but it's large so it
gets choppy every now and then.
thanks!

Actually I did try setting the buffer to 10 and it didn't
correct the problem. Tried adding the suggested FLV Preloader but
it doesn't work with this instance (component loading external
movie file) so I ended up having to use a different FLV Player
altogether and it worked fine. Seems like there is something wrong
with the built-in component -i f another FLV Player works perfectly
without any additional programming or tweaking and was developed by
an outside source (other than Adobe.)
Thanks for your reply though.
