Preload FLV movie clip
My company has a bunch of 20 minute video DVDs that I am
moving to the web. The full movie is 75 megs, so I broke it up into
four chapters. I want flash to load in the second "chapter" while
the first one is playing, and so on up to the end. My goal is to
have these four clips play (mostly) seamless from the first clip to
the end of the 4th cip.
Here is the main code that makes the movie go from one
chapter to the next.
_root.chapter is determined by a URL string variable, so that
the user can jump right in at any chapter between 1-4 depending on
which part of the video they want to see first.
======================================================
vid.contentPath = "VTS_05_1_Chapter_"+_root.chapter+".flv";
vid.setBufferTime(3);
_global.moveNum = _root.chapter;
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
_global.moveNum++
if (_global.moveNum < 5) {
vid.contentPath = "VTS_05_1_Chapter_" + _global.moveNum +
".flv";
vid.setBufferTime(3);
_root.chapter++;
} else {
gotoAndStop("fin");
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();
======================================================
The movie plays great, but there are load pauses between each
video. I added the 3 second buffer intentionally, but if I can get
the preloading to work I will remove it. Without the 3 second
buffer the video is choppy at first.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I built a flash photo gallery using flash and actionscript 3.
But the galleries are loading very slow.
I need help to make the pictures load faster
or to get the first picture to show before the entire
movieclip is loaded
or a script that preload the movie clips before they are
played.
I'm a beginner in actionscript, so I have no idea which
fonctions I should use and how I would use it.
I've been looking for tutorials, components all over the
week-end without success.
So please, is there anybody who can help me with this?
Here are 2 links.
The first one is where the website is visible online and the
second one is where all the files are available:
http://www.sebthiroux.com/last_online_test/
http://mmaraudeur.free.fr/liquit/
This is a very urgent matter for me as I need to make this
work for tomorrow
Thanks in advance
Sebastienthis should do it:
var snd:Sound = new Sound()
snd.onLoad = function(){
var pct:Number =
Math.round(snd.getBytesLoaded()/snd.getBytesTotal()*100);
wait = setInterval(loadingSnd, 100)
function loadingSnd(){
if(pct >= 100){
snd.start();
clearInterval(wait);
btn1.onRelease = function(){
snd.loadSound("audio/loop1.mp3", false); -
I am experiencing a delay or pause in the site when my first
movie of content is played ... A frew frames before the initial
animation is finished I add in :
_root.conten.gotoAndPlay("start1");
to start the home page (or the first page of my content
movie, whatever you want to call it)....
Is this a preloader problem? I just can't seem to iron it
out.

The Code is also here:

THANKSno no there's always a way, i was just pointing you in the
direction of the easiest way.
the first thing you need to do is check getBytesLoaded at
regular intervals rather than in a loop on a frame. this can be
achieved several ways - i've used setInterval in the example i
prepared for you.
the second thing you need to do is check that getBytesTotal
has been received from the jpg okay - this can be checked by
ensuring that getBytesTotal>4, which is the size of an empty
movie clip.
the code i have attached is independent of your xml code,
which was really confusing things, as it is unrelated to your
loader code (one problem at a time!). once you're happy with your
loader code, then you can integrate it with your working xml code.
good luck

Hi
I'm working with a few .flv movie clips in my timeline based flash file. I've imported and embedded the files into movieclip symbols. My file is now sluggish and close to 10mgb. What's the best way to optimize the videos so my .fla and final .swf are as small as possible?
Thanks!yes, you'll upload all the videos to your server.
the flvs will not slow play time.
the size of the video files is irrelevant except to determine the duration of the videos.
what is more import is the video's bitrate. the greater the bitrate the higher the video's quality and the greater the user's download capacity required to prevent video stuttering while downloading. -
Putting a preloader for a loaded .swf in a Movie Clip
I am trying to use a preloader for a larger .swf file that loads inside of a movie clip. I was wondering what code might work and where to put it. (preloader is a .swf). I am using CS4, ActionScript 1.0. Thanks.
it does nothing in that context. so use:
container._x =-258;
container._y =-235;
container.loadMovie("gallery.swf");
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
// if you have a textfield with instance name preloaderTF
preloaderTF.text=Math.round(100*container.getBytesLoaded()/container.getBytesTotal())+"% Loaded";
if(container.getBytesLoaded()>100&&container.getBytesLoaded()>=container.getBytesTotal()){
delete this.onEnterFrame; -
Hi, I am trying to copy a movie clip with an flv in it from
one project to another. Everything works fine except the flv just
keeps trying to load and never plays. I am not sure what to do. Any
suggestions?It sounds like you are using the FLVPlayback component to
display the FLV, in which case, the FLV is a separate file and
likely needs to be in the folder next to the new project. Go back
to the old project and copy the FLV from its location there to the
new projects folder. -
How do I start preloader later in movie clip?
Hi,
I want a preloader to start about 20 frames in, rather than at the very beginning of a movie clip, is this possible?
The reason I dont want it to start at the beginning is because it's on an external swf which loads when a button is clicked. Becuase the swf has a transparent background at the very beginning, the preloader is showing above the main movie and it cant really be seen. The main slideshow actually starts 20 frames in so this is when I really need the preloader.
any ideas?The way I have my preloader set is on another scene so i'm not sure
how to delay it by 20 frames in the main time line? When I move the
preloader frames along by 20 it doesn't work?
This is the code I have on my preloader:
loaded_bytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
total_bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
loadpercent = (loaded_bytes/total_bytes)*100;
if (loadpercent != 100) {
// OPTIONAL: Place the percentage on some textfield
preloaderText.text = int(loadpercent) + '%';
// Goto respected load percentage since not done
bar.gotoAndStop(int(loadpercent));
} else {
gotoAndPlay("Main", 1);
code on next frame:
gotoAndPlay(57); -
Preloader based on a single movie clip
Is there a way to have a pre-loader based on a single movie clip, instead of on the entire SWF size? This movie clip may have a single graphic, but the entire movie has a slideshow with more images to display...but rather than making my visitor wait for the entire site to download before they see anything, I'd like to have it so when that graphic is loaded, it displays while the rest of the movie finishes loading. And there would be a preloader that shows the progression of the single movie clip.
How can I accomplish that? Thanks for your help!Thanks for the speedy reply, but I think I didn't explain myself well. I'm not sure your answer will help me. I have an FLA file that contains everything within it. The background image for the resulting SWF is a single JPG, contained within a movie clip with an instance name of "bg_mc". However, there are a lot of other images that also need to be loaded. So, I want the loader to show progress ONLY on the background JPG image, and when it's downloaded, the image is shown, the rest of the SWF continues to download, and when the SWF is completely loaded, the images appear. So the user is only waiting on the background image to load before they see something instead of having to wait for all images to load. Does that make sense?

FLV in a linked Movie Clip slow to show at runtime
Hi All,
I have a linked FLV in a FLVPlayback, inside a movie clip that is a child of my main timeline. Let's call it 'redBoxMovie'. I have bitmaps on the stage and the redBoxMovie. I would like the first frame of the redBoxMovie to be visible on the stage along with the bitmaps as soon as the flash movie shows in the web browser. However, when I open the swf in the browser I see the bitmaps for about a 1/2 second before the first frame of the redBoxMovie.
Is that because it's a linked flv? Is there any way to assure everything shows on the stage at the same time (bitmaps and flv)?
ThanksOk so it looks like you're referring to the method of placing a screenshot of the flv on the stage in front of the flv so that users don't notice that the flv loads more slowly than the other bitmaps on the stage, right?
yes
Looks like I'll have to do this (since embedding the flv in the main swf, which avoids the slow-to-show problem, is not recommended).
that's also correct (and it will make your entire swf load slower).
Thanks Kglad.
you're welcome. -
How do I target a nested Movie Clip in an FLV component?
Hello all!
I have a video player that's control bar's x & y are over
the top of the video. It is set to alpha 0, and when the user rolls
over the video the control bar's alpha goes to 1 and becomes
visible. I have a few even listeners and a function that makes this
happen.
My issue is that the buffer handle and the volume handle do
not go to alpha 0, despite the fact that their parents do. The
instance of "volumeHandle" is the child of "volumeSlider".
"volumeSlider" does go to alpha 0, then to alpha 1 on rollover, but
it's child "volumeHandle, is always visible. The same applies to
the respective instances of the buffer bar.
I have tried volumeHandle.volumeSlider.alpha = 0; ,but that
doesn't work.
My guess is that the conflict lies in the linkage of the
controls for the buffer and volume handles.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
ShawnAlso, the AS I have for the volume bar movie clip, instance
name "volumeSlider" is:
stop();
this.handleLinkageID = "VolumeBarHandle";
this.handleLeftMargin = 3;
this.handleRightMargin = 3;
this.handleY = 11;
this.fullness_mc.fill_mc.slideReveal = true;
The VolumeBarHandle linkageID applies to the same MC as the
"volumeHandle" instance.
This is one of the two movie clips that will not go to alpha
0.
Thanks again. -
I have a movie clip that I uploaded as an .flv (so I could have the sound) as something on the timeline. I set up a button below the video to skip to the website (or welcomePage)
However, I cannot get the button to work for some reason. Below is my script, am I missing something? Also, for whatever reason, now my movie clip does not autoload when it did before...
I also do realize that I could probably condense the timeline, but I am just working teaching myself, so bare with me.
stop();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, welcomePage);
resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumePage);
reel_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reelPage);

gotoAndStop(3910);
function contactPage(e:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(3920);
function homePage(e:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(3881);
Any help is appreciated, thanks!1. you're aware that home_btn and homepg_btn do the same thing, correct?
2. you're using preloader code to ensure those frames are loaded before enabling/clicking those buttons, correct?
if yes to both, copy and paste the output panel results of the two trace functions:
stop();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, welcomePage);
resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumePage);
reel_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reelPage);

Problem with non loading movie clips in CS3
Hi.
I am making an animation ( Trailer for an upcoming handheld
game i am working on ).
And i have encountered a problem when i play back the
animation with Flash player.
There is two movie clips in the animation ( Normal vector
drawing but with effects applied on it ( color adjustment , and
blur ) ) and when i play the published swf back with flash player
the two movie clips are in their normal Vector mode ( without the
filters ) until the middle of the animation when they finally
"load" , the filters finally have an effect on the two vector
drawings.
i use a very high end computer so that couldn't be it.
And when i am going to upload the flash film there's going to
be a loading screen ... i have no clue if it's going to fix this.
But for now this is really odd and looks really awkward.
If this problem persist i will not make the deadline. please
help fast.
Thanks everybody.
-Jimmy Gonzo
EDIT: oh and i also noticed that when the stuff isn't loaded
yet... the animation goes too fast.It seems to me that you need to put a preloader in the first
frame of your whole .fla. It seems that all your assets are not
being loaded before the .swf playhead moves forward.
A simple preloader could be something like:
frame 1 label this as "preloader"
frame 2 (insert the following commands)
if (this._framesloaded >= this._totalframes) {
this.gotoAndPlay("init");
}else{
this.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
} -
I'm making an animation with movie clips inside the stage but if i put action in the end of these for go to another frame in the stage, dosnt let me because AS3.0 does'nt alow script inside buttons and MC's.
Wath can i do for this issue.
The new code from AS3.0 is so diferent to AS2
Thanks for your time.
can you put some video to do things like this.????
By the way, this forum is the best, congratulations for all.Thank you for the answer, i hope to understand AS3 more in the pass of days.
For other hand, can you tell me how can i make the background of my exported video transparent??
When export i mark the check box make alfa chanel on backgroud, but when i conver to FLV with Adobe Media Encoder, the background turns to black.
what other way can i use to import video.
Thank you any way -
Hi. I've basically been copying code from a series of tutorials, and now I've hit a wall because the series doesn't cover this part, and I'm certainly no expert at ActionScript.
Basically, I'm trying to handle all the navigation with movieclips instead of moving around on the timeline. What Im trying to achieve is to have a main 'page' with a couple navigation buttons. One of them (cartoonButton) would open a movieclip called cartoonBG, which is a 15 frame alpha fade-up that would end with a frame with buttons for opening cartoons (right now, there's only one cartoon, but eventually there will be more).
The problem is, as soon as the file opens, it goes into a loop, playing the cartoonBG movie clip over and over. So, I guess I need to know how to make it so that the frame is still when the clip opens, and then I can do an onRelease for cartoonButton and have that open and play cartoonBG. That's sample 1.
Sample 2 is what I have for frame 15 of cartoonBG. That would be where the alpha fade-up stops, and I want it to be set so you click episode1Button and that loads BnR1.flv into the NetStream (and, later on, when I have a second cartoon, episode2Button would load BnR2.flv and so on). That's sample 2.
Thanks so much in advance if someone could help me out!
SAMPLE 1:
stop;
cartoonButton.onRelease = cartoonBG.play;
SAMPLE 2:
stop;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("BnR1.flv");
playButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
var videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;
ns["onMetadata"] = function(obj) {
duration = obj.duration;
function videoStatus() {
amountLoaded = ns.bytesLoaded / ns.bytesTotal;
loader.loadbar._width = amountLoaded * 475;
loader.scrub._x = ns.time / duration * 475;
var scrubInterval;
loader.scrub.onPress = function () {
clearInterval(videoInterval);
scrubInterval = setInterval(scrubit,10);
this.startDrag(false,0,this._y,461,this._y);
loader.scrub.onRelease = loader.scrub.onReleaseOutside = function() {
clearInteral(scrubInterval);
videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
this.stopDrag();
function scrubit() {
ns.seek(Math.floor((loader.scrub._x/461)*duration));That works, but I actually want it to be set up so I (or the user) could go back to cartoonBG again, as opposed to getting rid of it completely.
The way I'm setting this up is that homeButton, cartoonButton, and a couple others (extrasButton, downloadsButton) are all navigation on a footer that will always be there, but they'll bring up these different movie clips (cartoonBG, extrasBG, etc.) instead of going to other frames on the main timeline. The tutorial I was working off of seemed to think that was the way to go, and for whatever reason, I took him at his word.
Anyway, is there a different way I could code homeButton that wouldn't get rid of cartoonBG?
I should also take this opportunity to say thanks for all this help! I really do appreciate it!

Is there a way to set up final cut express to default to the proper settings so that 1920 x 1080 h.246 mov files don't have to be rendered when dropped onto the timeline? It is really not efficient to work on something when it takes hours to render.
