Loading FLV in Flash using PHP

Hello,
I am using flash CS3 and am trying to load a flv using PHP.
I have a PHP webpage with a SWF in it. In that SWF is a
FLVPlayback component. I would like to be able to set the source
for the FLV using a php URL e.g.
http://www.example.com/index.php?v=12345
I have searched for hours but still have not come up with a
way of how to do this.
Does anyone know. Any help would really, really be
appreciated.
Thankyou

Is the problem in the actionscript or in the PHP?
IE - did you trace out the "video" variable to know that it
is getting there?
If the variable is getting into the Flash, then trace out the
contentPath of myFLVPlayer after it is set to make sure that things
are working correctly. (To trace out on the server, I usually place
a dynamic text box in the swf and set its .txt = what I want to
see)
If contentPath doesn't work, you can always use the
myFLVPlayback.load() function - IE myFLVPlayer.load(video);
If things are getting set correctly, then you are having a
pathing issue, and need to make sure that the path for the load is
set correctly.... IE contentPath = "path/to/flv/"+video;

Can't convert MP4 to .fLV for flash using encoder CC 2014

Hi
Seriously adobe, I wish I never upgraded to CC, it's been a nightmare.
I need to convert an MP4 to an .flv for flash pro CC. Encoder CC no longer supports this, which is UNBELIEVABLE....
I use a third party vendor for video in flash banner advertising and it only supports .flv files.
Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?

How to find out FLV duration using PHP?

Is there any way I can use PHP to find out the duration of a
FLV file on its web server?
Thanks.

> Is there any way I can use PHP to find out the duration
of a FLV file
> on its web server?
AFAIK, no. But since some people have found a way to extract
similar
information from SWF files, maybe there is a chance to pull
something
like that off with FLVs.
Alternatively you could create a flash movie that has the
single purpose
of loading an FLV and sending the duration to a PHP script
using the
LoadVars class and its sendAndLoad() method.

LoadVars-using send to pass a variable from flash to php

For the life of me, I've tried everything:
I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers'
books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried
sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST.
$HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error. any advice
please?
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked
to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)
My goal with this simple app is to prototype being able to
pass a variable from flash to a variable in php.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
flash_to_SQL.php on line 5
Actionscript 2.0 code:
var c :LoadVars = new LoadVars();
c.testing = "123FOUR";
c.send ("
http://127.0.0.1/flash_to_SQL.php","_self","POST");
php code: (I also tried $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST.
$HTTP_POSTVARS)
<?php
//mysql 4.1.2, php 4 , NO mysqli
ecbo $_REQUEST ['testing'];
/?>

var formData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
formData.fname = "Name";
formData.send("

formData, "POST");
<?php
$name = $_POST['fname'];
echo $name;

Flash files using php

I'm working on a site using php. When I place flash files in
the page, I can view it with no problems. It's another story when I
load everything up on a server. All I see is a white box where the
flash movie is. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 on a MacBook Pro. Any
advice I can get would be much appreciated.

You have a number of problems on that page.
1. The Flash in the banner appears but the Flash in the body
does not. I'm
not sure why, but will examine further.
2. The menu will fall behind the Flash element in the body
when it expands.
This will render your site non-navigable.
3. Because you have used all-javascript menus, your site will
not be
spiderable by search engines, since they cannot find the
links in the
submenus when it is embedded in the javascript.
4. Also, because of those menus, you render your page
non-accessable, since
screen assistive devices do not render javascript. In
addition, anyone
coming to your site with javascript disabled will not be able
to navigate
it.
You can maybe deal with #1 by reading this -
All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).
Adobe articles:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15523
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14201
As for the rest, you should always have redundant, plain text
navigation
available on your site (or a plain text link to a sitemap
page). But there
are ways to do those menus where none of this is a problem -
I'd rather see
you use those methods than this one (which is also a ton of
code).

How can I load and save text using FileReference class

Let me start by saying I have no intention of using php and I can't wait until flash cs5 comes out with its new read/write capabilities
I want to load and save XML files (stored on my local hard-drive) in AS3.
I am using the FileReference class.
Firstly I have noticed that when using FileReference.save if you replace an existing file instead of writing over the file data is appended to the end of the file. Can I make it so the file is overwritten (as it should be) or make it impossible for the user to save in such a situation.
Secondly I want to load in text from an external file using FileReference.load I know that somehow you use FileReference.browse first to get it to work but I want to know exactly how to do it.
I have looked for a tutorial about loading text in this manner and have not found one.
Any help would be much appreciated especially if you could point me in the direction of a relevant tutorial
Thanks

the filereference class is for downloading and uploading files.
if you want to load xml, use the xml class.
and, if you want to write to an xml file and don't want to use server-side code, wait.

This error means that you are trying to set the text field but there is no data in the variable. As a first step, try to identify where this is happening, eg Is it the first call, or once you have submitted your data or only if you try to submit data second time?
Trace out the data that is returned for both completeHandlers to see if there is a missing var. Try this for "load_numbers" and "store_choice". Do it twice for "store_choice". Do you get back what you expected?
You could also try altering the php to return some fixed dummy variables, eg choice1Count=11&choice2Count=22&choice3Count=33, etc. If this works then you know that the error is in the PHP.
It looks to me like the issue is when you submit the data a second time and just get back the return_msg - the handler then tries to assign the choice1Count etc but doesn't have any count data back from the poll.php.
Test that there is data before assigning it, eg
    if(event.target.data.choice1Count){
        count1_txt.text = event.target.data.choice1Count;
        count2_txt.text = event.target.data.choice2Count;
        count3_txt.text = event.target.data.choice3Count;

How to edit bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited bitmap back to xml in flash.

hi all
It would be appreciated if any one let me know how to edit
bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited
bitmap back to xml in flash.
Is it posible to save the bitmap data in flash?
thanks in advance

Yes you can... but like I said before you need to upload the
data from the changes you make to a server.
In terms of the solution... its unlikely that you'll find one
specifically for your needs. You will have to learn whatever you
don't know how already and maybe adapt some existing examples to
your needs.
To change the visual state of a movie clip... you just do all
the regular things that you want to do to it using flash... scale,
rotation, drawing API , textfields etc in actionscript. If you
don't know how to how to do that stuff, then you need to learn that
first. That's basic actionscript.
You can capture the visual state of a movieclip using the
BitmapData class. That includes a loaded jpeg. You can also
manipulate bimatp data using the same class. You should read up on
that if you don't know how to use it or check out the examples
below for uploading info.
For uploading to the server:
Here's an as2 solution that took 15 secs to find using
google:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000645.php
If you're using as3, google search for "jpeg encoder as3" and
look through that info. There are also historical answers in the
forums here related to this type of thing that might help as
well.

Externally loaded FLV

In my SWF fie, I have an externally loaded FLV file.
I now want to add another FLV that will load and play
automatically when the first one is finished.
I actually want the SWF to jump to a new scene when the first
movie is done.
How can I do that/ what the actionscript?
Steven

Hey Steven,
I am not very sure but just giving a shot answering it...
You can use FLVPlayback.complete event to detect the
comepletion of first flv and set the path of other flv on complete.
Something like this:
import mx.video.*;
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/clouds.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
// listen for complete event; play new FLV
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
if (my_FLVPlybk.contentPath == "
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/clouds.flv")
my_FLVPlybk.play("
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv");
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);
Hope that works...

Video flv in flash 6

Hi,
this is my first post.
I have probelms including an flv video into my fla.
I work with flash mx 6.0 on mac (but i have the same problem
on win), and I'm not able to include mu flv video into my scene.
Can anyone help me or send me a link to the documentation?
Thanks in advance, great job everyone!
mao

I don't think you can preload an flv other then using a
buffer. If you figure it out let us know.

FLVplayback Not Loading FLVs

I'm using a remote hosting service for my FLV storage (
http://www.blip.tv). When I load
FLVs remotely into my player, they just seem to load infinitely
without play control. All except for 1. There is 1 video that
actually loads and plays just fine, which indicates to me it might
not be a problem with the host.
Below are testing-purpose links. (This is a php script which
passes the flv link to my player). The first one will work and load
correctly, the second link loads forever.
http://behindlacrosse.com/videos.php?video=http://blip.tv/file/get/Treschonde-BehindLacros seEp3249.flv
http://behindlacrosse.com/videos.php?video=http://blip.tv/file/get/Treschonde-BLSummer2006 2549.flv
I've tried this with several different flv's, and only that
first one above ever loads. I'm not doing anything complex with my
code, I use the following actionscript:
_root.playback.play(vidurl);
I've traced the vidurl variable to ensure that the urls are
correct. So I'm really stumped on this one.
One more interesting note.. in Firefox, on that website
linked above, if you click on any of the other videos in the list,
they won't load. It's like the player locked up. But in Internet
Explorer, you can still click other videos to bypass the currently
loading one.
Any help or suggestions at all? I appreciate anything.

This is the way I work with videos.
Each video is in a differente frame.
Name you FLV playback like movie1, movie2, etc.
You may have a frontpage that links to each video or place a
button on the keyframe where you want specific video to play. For
example, on movie1, place a button. On movie2, place another
button.
The code below is used assuming you customized your video
controller.
// in a MovieClip named Video Controller insert a play, pause
and stop buttons and a slider//
stop();
import mx.video.*;
movi1.contentPath = "EditedFlash/Text_Edited.flv";
movi1.playButton = VideoControl.my_playButton;
movi1.pauseButton = VideoControl.my_pauseButton;
movi1.stopButton = VideoControl.my_stopButton;
movi1.seekBar=VideoControl.my_seekButton;
var cuePt:Object = new Object ();
cuePt.time =0.5;// title - no voice//
cuePt.name = "Pt1";
cuePt.type = "actionscript";
movi1.addASCuePoint(cuePt);
movi1.addASCuePoint(3.2, "Pt2");
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object): Void{
if(eventObject.info.name=="Pt1"){
_root.Texto.gotoAndStop("uno");
if(eventObject.info.name=="Pt2"){
_root.Texto.gotoAndStop("dos");
movi1.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
//second cue point//
movi1.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
_root.Texto.gotoAndStop("uno");
movi1.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);
Hope this helps.
