Movie Playback Buttons

Hi. I am very unexperienced with this, so please bear with
me...I'm trying to create a button that can skip my flash intro
anytime I press it? I chose my button. It is in a "button" layer
and it is called "btn_forward". Can someone please give me a
command I can type in in order to work please? And where should I
put it? That would be really helpful!
Thank you

Hi there
Sorry, but we need more than that to go on. For example, the slide appearing to be "stuck" may have an object on it that is pausing playback. Perhaps a Click Box or a Button. In this case, the Captivate project would be behaving perfectly normally.
Any chance of your sharing the file with us? Perhaps if you did that, we could look at it first hand and tell you what is happening.
Cheers... Rick

Playback buttons for flash movie

Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();
For Stop
on (release) {
" Movie".gotoAndStop (1) ;
I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!

First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
}

Adobe Photoshop cs6 problem - it closes after ''move tool'' button

After I push Move Tool button I cannot use any of the buttons bellow in that tool bar, when I try any button after it on closes the program with windows error ''adobe photoshop cs6 has stopped working''
os: win 7 64bits.
other adobe installed : adobe dreamweaver cs6

OK, it seems to have been narrowed down to the video driver, or to its settings.
What make and model video card do you have?
What is the number and date of the installed driver?
For OpenGL, what are your performance settings?
Good luck,

Hi, i am a bit of a newbie at AS & need some help applying it to a movie clip button

I have created a movie clip button but am stuck with the actionscript. I have created the rollover and rollout for this movie clip button but i want it to do 2 things after this i want it to go and stop on the first frame of a movieclip which has my content on it called portfoliogallery_mc (which is also the same instance name for it) when you then click the button i want it to go and play frame 11 of that movie clip portfolio gallery_mc.
Here is my current actionscript i HAVE Flash 8 on my comp that i am currently using.
Please note my actions are on a layer called actions and not on the movieclip button itself.
nxtimagetwo_mc (is the movie clip button/instance of mc)
THE CODE I HAVE USED
this.nxtimagetwo_mc.onRollOver = function() {
nxtimagetwo_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");
this.nxtimagetwo_mc.onRollOut = function() {
nxtimagetwo_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
portfoliogallery_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
portfoliogallery_mc.gotoAndPlay(11);
currently it is playing to frame 11 not stopping at frame 1 and stops on frame 20 where i have a stop action. I also have a stop action on frame 1 of that movie clip.
What I want it to do is first stop at frame 1 of that movie clip and when the button is clicked again to go and play frame 11 of that same movie clip.
Basically what i want the mc button to do is 2 things automatically stop the mc for the first content and when button is clicked let the content fad out and play to where the next stop action is set to in the Movie Clip.
Nothing to with the above www.rsquareme.co.uk is my current portfolio website if you would like to check it out it is not fully complete yet.

it doens't make sense to execute:
portfoliogallery_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
portfoliogallery_mc.gotoAndPlay(11);
only the 2nd line of code will be effected.
i know you want to control 2 movieclips. what are the instance names of the two movieclips and what do you want to occur in each of those movieclips.
or, do you want to control 1 movieclip and have it play a certain sequence of frames followed by another sequence of frames?

ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync. I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/. I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help. Please let me know of any solution.

I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.
2011 Mac Mini, 8GB RAM, Duo core, iTunes library on NAS on wired network. Mountain Lion 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7 64 bit.

Auto Spell Check Requested! Or just move the button, please.

Rearrange Playback buttons

I am looking to find a way to change the order of the
playback button so I can customize the look of the playback. Do
anyone know of a way to do that. i am able to change to the look of
the buttons but not the order.

Hi Michael,
What you want - specifically - cannot be done within
Captivate. obviously, you have found the
Project > Skin dialog at which you can select which
buttons you wish to display on the playback control. And you know
that in the same dialog, you can change the playback control style
and colors.
The one thing you cannot do is what you are asking to do. The
order of the buttons on the playbar cannot be changed without
altering the SWF for the playback control itself in Flash. That
does not mean it cannot be done, only that you will have to do it
as a Flash project, and to my knowledge, there is no playbar FLA*
(*Flash source file) included in Captivate.
EDIT:
I stand corrected about the lack of a FLA. See the posts above
for the location on your Windows system install. Sorry I missed
that earlier.
If you
are comfortable in the Flash environment, give it a shot,
and place your resulting SWF file in the \\Adobe Captivate 3\
Gallery\ PlaybackControls\ SWFbars\ folder to access it from within
Captivate. If you are
not comfortable in creating Flash objects, you will have to
pay someone who is, to create the playbar for you.
To get you started, I recommend you check out the work of
Paul Dewhurst, a Captivate Community Expert who does do some custom
work for others, and also generously makes some of his work
available free on his Captivate widgets web-site ... located
this link right here
and named "Raising Aimee" after his daughter. You might also
want to check out the stuff available on the Captivate Exchange

Good luck!

Movie playback issues

My movies are having playback issues again. Default settings are 44.1kHz 16bps 720p HD.
Operating System: Windows 8
Itunes Version 12.1.0
The issue is the sound goes in the beginning of each film. I have a computer which is two years old and yet there seems to be a recurring problem with movie playback.

I think it depends on which version of iTunes you are using. I had the same problem with digital copy movies when I loaded the 64bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunes64setup.exe, on a Vista machine. Once I deleted that version and loaded the 32bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunessetup.exe, I was able to view the movie in iTunes AND download it to my iTouch.

Apple TV 2 - Not synching correctly during movie playback

Hi all,
Recently bought the new Apple TV and have set it up fine. During some movies playback I notice the picture starts to jerk and then the sound is about 1-2 seconds ahead of the picture. To rectify this I have to pause the video, then play. When I pause, I can see the video playing catchup to whichever point in the sound I paused it at.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone know what the cause of this issue is?
The movie plays fine on my iMac with no synching issues. Im assuming its because my iMac is running and using its processors at that given moment. Some of my movies are MKV files encoded to MP4 via Handbrake.
Some help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

It could well be because your Mac is heavy on resource usage running handbrake which will use as much CPU power as is available to do the job.
Having said that I've seen this occasionally with ATV1 and ATV2, and recently I've wondered if it's iTunes doing something else eg automatically downloading a subscription podcast, and effectively freezing to other processes like AppleTV streaming as it saves a podcast to disc.
The other obvious candidate is the network not quite keeping up with streaming demands and running slightly behind.
Try playback without Handbrake or other intensive processes running - does it behave better?

Movie playback madness....?

Hi gang...
I want to create a .swf that is 1080p.
There are 6 .f4v movies (each 320 * 1080) playing at the same time...
Can flash player handle this? I understand that flash player runs on the CPU and not the graphics card? So do i just need to get a monster pc....
or is this movie playback madness...!

Hi david...
thanks foy your response...
What hardware or GPU spec would you recommend...?
Its seems that NVIDIA ION is a good choice...maybe one of these? http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_88869.html

My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

Cursor stops movie clip buttons

I have animated movie clips as buttons. When the animation
reaches the point where the cursor sits on the button it vanishes.
Here is the script I have on the main time line:
//news_mc is the instance name of my movie clip button
news_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newsPage);
news_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, newsRollOn);
news_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, newsRollOff);
news_mc.buttonMode = true;
function newsRollOn(event:MouseEvent):void {
news_mc.gotoAndPlay("in");
function newsRollOff(event:MouseEvent):void {
news_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");
function newsPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("news");
I know there is something about
news_mc.mask = ??? I'm not sure if I sure what part of the
mask I use. I have a layer that has the button background (instance
name - background) and then the 2 layers that form the animated
mask - the mask layer contains a copy of the button background
(instance name - background2) and then the animated later of the
mask contains a gradient that slides over the button (instance name
- masker).
What is happening?

ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT rather than mouse_over and _out did
the trick!

Movie clip button navigation

hey, i'm pretty new to flash and i'm attempting to create a
site with different scenes representing different pages.
i have four movie clip buttons. One of these buttons should
link to the "about me" page, which so far only has another movie
clip with pictures. from the main page i'd like a user to be able
to click on the about me button/movieclip and the pictures should
appear.
i've been using the code:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("about_pictures")
however whenever i run the preview, nothing happens when i
click the button.
main timeline includes :
about me > pictures with a motion tween(pictures_about_mc)
> the movie clip of pictures(pictures_mc).
background
buttons
actions
any help would be appreciated. thank you in advance.

If you are genuinely using scenes, then your gotoAndPlay()
call needs to include the scene name and the frame...
gotoAndPlay("about_pictures", 1)
and "about_pictures" needs to be the name you assigned to
that scene in the scenes panel.
Using scenes and the way you coded the button are both not
clean ways to code--things end up being hidden from plain site.
Instead of scenes, just use the one maintimeline. Instead of
on(release, etc) use myBtn.onRelease = function (){...} in the
actions layer.
Makes life so much easier in the long run, especially a year
from now when you're trying to change some code and can't find
where you hid it.

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.

Toshiba L4353 39" - USB Movie Playback Problem

Hi,
I recently bought a Toshiba L4353 39" smart tv, the usb playback does work but i keep having this really annoying problem,
basically i'm watching a movie file and everything is fine and then for no reason the playback of the file stops and i'm back at the my content screen, this has happened on multiple films and have tried a few different HDD so i can only assume it's the TV, help?
Thanks, Martin

Did you test the movie playback using an USB flash memory stick or just USB HDD?
Does this issue appear playing movies supporting different file format?
In the [user manual page 89|http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/L4353-323950-English.pdf] you can find information about the file compatibility
Please check if the movie files are encoded properly and use the supported video and audio codec
