Playing a movie using actionscript

I'm pretty sure this is possible but i'm not sure how to do
it. I want a movie clip to play another movie clip on mouseover. I
know how to get the movie being mousedover to play... on (rollover)
{ play(); }. But i want it to play a different video, not itself.
Any ideas?

Playing iPhoto movie using QT Pro

Hi. Just a quick question: Is it possible, or is there a setting, to play a movie in my iPhoto library using QuickTime Pro? I have QT Pro, but when I play any of the movies in my iPhoto library, the standard QT Player opens instead of QT Pro. I want to be able to capture a frame as a jpeg from the movie without the QT controls (play, reverse, time remaining, etc) that overlay the bottom of the frame.
Thanks, Jay.

Hi Old Toad,
You seem almost like an "old friend" - as I've read your helpful thoughts so much! I've done the EXACT thing you say below. (But I did it 6 months ago - without reading it from you. We must think the same . . . at least a tiny bit!
I have the latest and greatest of everything . . .it seems all of a sudden, I cannot play QT movies thru iPhoto - as I see the movie in iPhoto, double click it - it should open QT7 and play. It has for years.
All of a sudden it doesn't open. I must drag the movie to my desktop - then play it, then delete it!
Well, THAT'S a little 'bulky'!!! What do you think happened? Oh, I just upgraded to 10.6.5 - hmmmm - did it start a few days ago when I did that?
Oh, something else interesting . . . I have about 120 QT plist files taking up zero k in my Preferences folder. I DID delete all the "zero" ones - - hmmm . . . now that I think about it, could that have effected it?
I wouldn't hinks so . . .

It's referenced above. Could you kindly put your skill and experience in this mishmash - what's going on here? Typically, I'm half advanced with Mac - we edit programing for PBS - and I'm usually pretty good here . . . but stumped now.
Thanks,
Larry

How to put a .mov file on a dvd using lion and have a commercial DVD player play my movie? iDVD is gone. I never had it.

I have found a lot of frustration around this topic but no answers.
I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.7.4.
I have a video I made with iMovie. I want to burn it to a DVD for commercial DVD playback. It's as simple as that.
Things I've tried.
1. Using iMovie, I saved an HD version of the project to my desktop as a .MOV file. I know I can just burn that to a DVD. It won't play. I need a utility/program to put the necessary files on the DVD so a commercial namebrand DVD player will have what it needs.
2. I heard iDVD used to do this but it's not on my MacBook Pro (Lion OS). I've researched things like "What replaced iDVD" but found nothing but a but of complaining. (and I can see why).
3. I have looked for freeware. It all looks fishy.
Other options I'm looking into.
Use my Mac and connect a cable to the big TV screen. Play the movie using this screen as a secondary monitor. Problem - I have a dozen cables but none for this combo.
Move the .MOV file to a PC and play it using QuickTime. The cables I have will work for a PC to TV. Sad option.

Have you tried...     Burn 2.5.1 (FREE)

Give it a try, it may just serve as the temporary fix you are looking for. Make sure to download the 64-bit version.

How can I turn off auto play of an swf/flv using actionscript?

Does anyone know how to turn off autoplay, using actionscript, of swf/flv?
I'm trying to showcase four videos on the same page of a website. each video is a generic media player created in flash. when i test the movie, all the videos start playing at once.
Also, if possible is there a way to have all four videos in the same media player?

the media player has an autoPlay property.
and yes, it also has a contentPath property.

Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

Is it possible to set up Time Capsule on one network and then access its stored data (movies) using Back to My Mac from another network that also has Apple TV to play them?

I recently purchased a Time Capsule to store data at my office. I have an Apple TV at my home that I would like to start using to play my movies. With the storage of the new Time Capsule, I am curious if I can somehow store my iTunes movies on the Time Capsule at my office and then use Back to My Mac to access the TC from my home and then play them via Apple TV. Does this sound possible? We have an iMac at the office that remains on 24/7 connected to the TC.

ATV cannot play movies from the TC, even if it is on your home network.. ATV is a streamer.. it is not a media player.. and the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.. so it has nothing in it either.
You cannot play movies from ATV without itunes, which streams to the ATV.
If the iMac is running 24/7 then you should be able to connect to the iMac remotely and run from iTunes on that, which could then play movies stored on the TC.. with the following issues.. if you use wireless on the iMac forget it. The iMac has to be ethernet connected as it has to pick up the movie on the library and play it back to the TC to network to your home.
The next issues is speed of slowest connection.
Your download to your home maybe great.. what is the upload speed from your office like??
If you pay for uploads and downloads you will pay for the movie 3x.. first to download it.. second to upload it.. office to net.. and third to download it again.. net to home.. Sorry but it is better to play the movie directly from online itunes store.
If you plan to try and play non-itunes movies over the connection, it won't work.. ATV as stated is linked to itunes and cannot play movie files.
Overall this sounds like you need to think it out a bit more.

A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

Can apple tv be used to play purchased movies without broadband via airplay

can apple tv be used to play purchased movies from a ipad without broadband via airplay

The only times I've tried - on holiday/vacation with no broadband - this has failed because Airplay of protected content requires a brief authorisation connection to Apple's servers.
Conversely an ipad hooked up to a TV using the HDMI adapter works without internet for media stored on it as does a Mac computer running iTunes eg MacMini with HDMI out.

Playing movies using VLC on external display

My Macbook Pro is connected to my TV through the DVI port. There is a side-by-side arrangement, not mirror displays. Everything is working perfectly, sound and video.
Sometimes I try to use VLC to play a movie on the TV screen, while I do work on my Macbook screen. Many times it will easily work, no problem. But sometimes, when the movie opens up I cannot get it to move into the external screen. But ONLY the VLC movie will have this problem (sometimes iTunes too). All other applications will move into the external screen fine, but the VLC movie will not go past the boundary of my Macbook screen.
I am using VLC as opposed to other applications because some of the movie files can only be recognized by VLC.
Please help! I'm sure there is a Preferences option that can correct this seeing that sometimes it works fine.

I assume you specified the screen in vlc's video preferences and that screen is enabled when you play the video. I'm guessing it's probably a bug (yet another bug) in vlc 2.x which I also assume you are using. I long since gave up on vlc 2.x and stuck with vlc 1.1.12 which never has problems selecting my desired screen for full screen display (my TV).
I suggest you look at and possibly post this problem to the vlc mac forum.

Playing sound using ActionScript 3.0 (newbie)

I have a Flash animation I've created, and at the last minute we have decided to add one audio track to the background. The problem is, I have a looping animation in the timeline, so simply inserting the audio into a layer in the timeline will not work (because it will loop as well).
Can anyone help me with how to insert just one sound file "on top" of all the animations playing using ActionScript 3.0? I've never worked with the Sound class, and have never put audio into a Flash file besides simply importing it into a frame.
THANKS!
Jen

Worked perfectly. Thank you thank you!

I have used still photos to make a Quick Time movie using FCE. The DVD made using i-DVD looks somewhat grainy and the motion isn’t smooth when played on my TV. Other DVD’s I have made play much better and I am wondering if the problem is my Quick Time movie settings. The Dimensions and size of the problem movie are 1920X1080 and 584 MB respectively, while the movies that play better have Dimensions of 853X480 and are about 1.3 GB in size. Is this the source of my problem and how do I change things for the better.

Are you exporting to QuickTime Movie, or to QuickTime Conversion? For iDVD, you need to export to QuickTime Movie. Exporting to QT Conversion will kill the quality if you are moving the video from FCE to iDVD.
The file size per se makes no difference.
What size (pixel dimensions) are the photos that you put into your 1920x1080 sequence? Also, exactly what are the sequence properties ... is it 1920x1080i60 ... or i50? In North America it should be i60.
853X480 is an odd frame size. Where are you seeing this number? It would appear to be DV-NTSC, which has a frame size of 720x480. Your 1920x1080 frame size would not be DV-NTSC, it would be Apple Intermediate Codec. DV and AIC will look different, for sure.
Also, your quality setting in iDVD can affect the final video. You may want to check that also (in iDVD Preferences > Projects). Set it to Professional Quality if at all possible.

Playing movies using airport

Hi there
I have just bought an airport and want to play a movie (a .avi file) on my MacBook and have the sound coming out of my stereo (using the AirPort). Is this possible? I have tried to play the movie in iTunes but that doesn't seem to work. I have also tried to use Quicktime player, but without any luck as well.
I hope you can help me.
Happy new year=)

After looking around for a solution, I found a piece of software called AirFoil which you can get at http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/. The problem here is, that when you play a movie there is a time delay of 2-5 seconds.
So the question is: Does Apple Apple offer a solution, how you can play movies on Quicktime or DVD player (using AirPort Express), without the time delay??

I'm gettin an error message when I try to play a movie a rented using Apple TV 2nd generation. How do I solve this?

i'm gettin an error message when I try to play a movie a rented using Apple TV 2nd generation. How do I solve this?

I don't believe I've seen a solution to that error code. There's a new version of iTunes out, have you installed it yet, it might be worth trying. You might also try restarting your Apple TV and router.
