Playing movie with text button
I'm trying to get a movie to start once I click on a text button (play movie). So far I have this code in place and it is working. I just need to know the function necessary to start the movie to put in place of the comment I have below.
play_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,playClick);
function playClick(e:MouseEvent)
//code to start movie
THANKS!
If the movie that is supposed to play is the one containing the button, then you can just put play(); inside the function. But if it is some other movie, you'll need to target that movie by its instance name... mcName.play();

What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive?
What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive? I recently purchased an external disc drive and when testing it discovered that it only played the audio of the DVD, not the video. Very frustrated.
Are you referrring to a commercial DVD movie, or a disk with digital movies, such as mpeg files?

How to make tables move with text
In Pages '09 and Pages 5.0, tables that I set to move with text do not move with text. They overlap text. That is, the table and non-table text occupy the same space, which does not seem to be the intention behind "move with text". In Pages 5.0, I try to fix the problem by selecting a text wrap option such as "Above and below", since I do want text above my table and below my table and I want the table to move with the text when the text changes. But choosing "Above and below" automatically changes the object placement option from "Move with Text" to "Stay on Page", so the table does not move with the text. Re-choosing "Move with Text" once again makes the table and the text overlap, which renders the document unusable.
I have been frustrated with this behavior for years. I got around it in Pages '09 by using linked text boxes and putting tables outside the text boxes or by putting multi-page tables in their own text boxes without any other text. Since Pages 5.0 does not have linked text boxes, my old work-arounds are no longer possible.
I must be missing something simple here. What is it?
Thanks for any help.
RickIf the Table is an inline object then it follows the rules of the text it is sitting in.
ie Line Spacing, Space Before and Space After.
The Line Spacing is the crucial specification. The Table should be in its own paragraph and have Line Spacing Multiple set, usually to 1, with before and after spacing to set it off from surrounding text.
Inline Objects are one case where you should use Multiple Line Spacing because they vary in size and it is best to let Pages work out what space to give them.

How to play movies with different ext like wmv and...
need to know how to play movies with various ext like wmv..mpeg..vlc on e7
If the phone's built-in video player does not handle those formats, your option are:
- find some other video player app that does, or
- convert the videos to a supported format
The E7 supported video formats are listed on, e.g., this page:
https://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/E7-00/
Hit "Expand all" and scroll down to "Video Playback Formats". -

Playing movies with locked screen (OS X, iOS)?
Is there a way to make OS X or iOS devices to play movies with the screen locked?
Like this (I first submitted the question in Vision because I also need to be able to have the movies play without video, AND with headphones as the standard "viewing screen" - currently this is not working neither for iPhone or iPad... of course there are a bit more audio narration options when using a full Mac instead)

Play movie with subtitle..
i am using JMF player to play movies
i have downloaded some codecs (jffmpeg)
but one thing is missing
displaying subtitles
i been searching google but find nothing
There is something written all ready
or
should i start thinking how to do it my self.
i am thinking about using a glass pane to draw the subtitles
but i need and a subtitle parser (SRT,SUB files)
there is something written in java ?
or i need to do it by my self.
if all made by me?
i have question about subtitle timing
can i use JMF to throw some event when a
certain time in the movie is arrived
i don't want to check every second?
allot of questions
any help will be appreciated
thanks allot
shayIt's so xxxx complicated to play a movie with subtitels
since JMF was last updated at 2004.
i am giving a try to MPlayer.
may be when there is a new version of JMF
with no need of hacking things like:
searching for codecs all over the web
find one site that hack JMF to display text over JMF Player .(and i searched google)
find a responsible why to handle player timing (subtitle timing)
and more simple why to play a movie without catching alot of exceptions
till you lost your mind.
sorry .i rely give it a try.
thanks allot every one. -
Error Playing Movie with htaccess
If I use .htaccess file to authenticate connections to my stock apache/10.4.11 web server, the iPhone will error out with "Error Playing Movie" when it tries to access the file. It does authenticate and show the contents of the directory. It will also view other document types, such as html files, without error. If I remove the .htaccess, it will play the movie.
I dont recall my previous iPod Touch exhibiting this behavior, however I no longer have it available for testing.
Packet capture on the shows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>401 Authorization Required</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you
are authorized to access the document

browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.
<HR>

</BODY></HTML>
Is this an iPhone/Safari problem, or apache problem? The site works fine using the Camino browser within OS X. Any ideas?

Message was edited by: BainI can play that movie when I am connected via wi-fi -- it does not play for me via Edge (at least right where I am sitting :>).
This does happen a lot -- often a movie needs the bandwidth of wi-fi to play properly and if you are in a sketchy Edge territory you may have problems. Are you connected via wi-fi? Make sure it says that on your iPhone (you can see the wi-fi symbol right next to the AT&T on the top left of the iPhone display -- looks like little waves). If the video still doesn't play when you are connected via wi-fi let me know and we'll see what else we can try. -

Apple TV Cannot Play Movies with iTunes Extras
For some reason, when I click on a movie in iTunes (downloaded from the iTunes Store), it plays the iTunes Extras by default, not the movie. I noticed the problem when I could not get my ATV2 to show these movies via Home Sharing. The affected movies do not even show up on my ATV2 via home sharing. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the iTunes Extra file to be the default playback file for a movie? Movies in my iTunes library that don't have iTunes Extras play just fine in iTunes and on my ATV2.
Go to your itunes library on computer and highlight the Movies category, try to find the movie - then right click and 'Show in Finder' (or Windows equivalent to view the actual movie files).
For each movie with extras you should have:
MovieName.m4v (main feature)
and
MovieName - iTunes Extras.ite (extras files)
You should actually see an entry for each in itunes grouped together.

Control 2 flv movies with one button
Hello,
I am not even sure this can be done, but I am trying to
control 2 flv's with one set of controls. The reason; We have
footage of a talking head as one flv and footage of a microscope.
Basically, the guy talks and moves the microscope around. These 2
flv's have to be synched b/c the guy is talking and showing how
things look under a microscope (the original footage was shot at
the same time using 2 different methods - I imported both in
Flash). So, my quandry is that I need one set of controls for both
these flv's b/c if you pause the talking head, you also have to
pause the scope. I tried to make both flv's a movie clip and
control them that way, but got no where with that. I also tried to
build my own skin with a Play and Pause Button for now, but only
got as far as the code below. Basically, I can control one flv
component, but not both at the same time. Any ideas would help - I
am not sure if this is an AS issue, or a complete design issue, or
if it can even be done at all - thanks much in advance...
JasonI have discovered that what I wanted to do above is not possible in Livecycle. The only thing that works in the Livecycle script editor is the xfa.host.print from what I found.
I was able to add a print button to a form that I scanned in that enabled me to print at 2 different printers at the same time. What I did was to first set up a mouse up action to execute a menu item (file>print) and then I added a second mouse up action to run the JavaScript below
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
pp.printerName = "\\\\DPDSVR\\Xerox WorkCentre 7435 PCL6";
this.print(pp);
This resulted in me being able to print to my default printer (HP) and the Xerox with just one click of the button. -
Controlling multiple movies with one button
Hi flash gurus,
I have 4 movies of the same length running on my stage in the
FLV playback component, with different instance names. I also have
a single play/pause component. I want all of the movies to play
together and unpause/pause when I press the play/pause button.
However, I have only been able to get the play/pause button to
control one of the movies (the last one listed in the
actionscript). I'm using the following code to attach the
play/pause component to the FLV playback movie:
FLV_instance_name1.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
FLV_instance_name2.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
FLV_instance_name3.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
FLV_instance_name4.playPauseButton = PlayPause_instance_name
When I use this, the play/pause button only controls the
FLV_instance_name4 movie. How do I get it to control all 4 moives?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!PS, I'd also prefer for the controls to be detatched from any of the viewers, if possible. Thanks!
