Preloading and synchronize flv play

I have 3 flv files that I would like to start playing at the
same time. It doesn't matter if they are completely preloaded, just
as long as they start at the same time. Does anyone have any ideas
of how this could be done? How to synchronize the playback of
multiple flv's in a flash file?
I have attempted a preloader but the flv file which is loaded
starts and I'm unable to get the flv to pause before the other file
is finished loading. So the files start playing at different times,
which isn't what I want. The Netstream stop/pause doesn't seem to
work, does anyone have any advice or maybe other solutions?
thanks!

So, I got this to work but I'm not sure what mad ethe
difference. I started with a blank clip with nothing other than the
FLV component and a "pause" button.
When this worked, I went back to my file; stripped everyhting
out, and rebuilt.
Instead of the variable that I was using, I checked the the
FLV was playing by checking the clip state. I then paused the FLV
using: my_FLVplybk.pause(); and then added the code to stop the
parent timeline(s). Finally, I set my variable (even though it
isn't referenced in this mc).
Again, I'm not sure why it worked.

  • Continuing in timeline after FLV plays

    I want to play an .flv in the timeline, then continue to play
    the timeline after the video has finished. How is this done? I've
    tried to understand cue points (I get the basic idea), but how do I
    utilize them in ActionScript?

    Getting closer. I have an .fla file with an alpha FLV video
    with an instance name of "bobFLV". It has one cuepoint embedded
    called "midpoint". I also have a movie clip behind it with an
    instance name of "pics_mc". In it is a label called "pic2" that I
    want it to go to and play when the cuepoint is reached.
    I play the swf and the FLV plays, but the pics_mc does not
    advance.
    Here is the code I currently have in place:
    bobFLV.addEventListener ( "cuePoint", this );
    function cuePoint ( eventObj:Object ) {
    if (eventObj.name == "midpoint")
    pics_mc.gotoAndPlay("pic2");

  • Synchronize flv and interactive captivate training modules

    Does anyone know how to synchronize flv, captivate, and
    setting up the accordian component so that people can jump from
    various cue points in the video? The only way that I was able to
    get it to work was converting static images from powerpoint
    presentation in flash paper. But what I'm needing is the animated
    screenshots synchronized with flv video. The type of animation
    created by RoboDemo and captivate. Any suggestions or ideas? I've
    been looking all over the place all week for a possible solution.

    Please help a brotha out...

    Hi Michael,
    I haven't tried AVI or SWF videos, but I've used several FLV
    videos (though I had someone else convert them for me, so I can't
    help you there). The main problem I've had have to do with where
    the files are stored so that Captivate can correctly access the
    files and play them back. Also, if you use a skin in the Flash
    video, when you publish the file, make sure that the skin .SWF file
    is published. If you are using Captivate 2 and happen to use the
    corona skin, you need to change the "C" in CoronaSkin3.swf (for
    example) to a lowercase "c", or else the published video won't play
    at all (just gray - like I think you're describing). I've got some
    2+ minute FLV files that play fine though once we got everything
    squared away. Let me know if you have any questions about what I
    described above (which doesn't have a whole lot of video cause I'm
    a little short of time at the moment).
    Good luck,
    David

  • Preloader and Sound Object

    My Flash site has a media player which uses the attachSound
    method to play and skip through 3 mp3s. As a result the preloader
    shows up after the movie has loaded 60%. To rectify this, i changed
    the Publish Settings under the Flash Tab so that the classes for AS
    2.0 load in the 2nd frame of the Preloader Scene(I have separated
    the preloader and the main movie to diffrerent scenes..)
    I read it somewhere that to correct a similar problem with
    MCs, you need to place them somewhere in the timeline (say,Off
    Stage), But how can same be done for Sound Objects.???

    if i do that then the preloader works fine,however the player
    doesnt work...since the audio files dont get loaded..

  • Preloader and moviecliploader class

    Hello
    Firstly thanks to kglad for some advice yesterday. More needed
    I am using FlashMX 2004 Professional.
    I have been having problems with my preloader which i have placed as a movieclip at the start of the pertinent scenes where it is needed. The problem has been one of file size in frame one -  a common problem I beieve. This causes the preloader script to malfunction and come in late and show just 100% loaded of the preloader animation - again a common problem I am reading. SO it seems clear having designed the whole website using LoadMovie Number that the movieClipLoaderClass would be the solution to getting my Preloader to work. Hmm..
    So can people tell me that if I now create a seperate scene for the preloader and have it listen for any downloading swf to activate using the moviecliploader class will this work ok in tandem with how I have connected all the other scenes using the loadmovienumber? Just need to now before I start trying that out. My hope is that the Preloader will then overcome the file size issue of the first frame because and it will not have to load itself every time afresh.
    Hope this makes sense, I am fairly inexperienced here...
    Cheers
    Pete

    I know everything about the file, I know that the sound starts on the first frame and also I know it ends on the last frame. If the sound data are on the main timeline, the sound could be streamed and you don't have to load it fully to start playback. The question is the same, how much I need to load to start the sound.
    I think it's not very clear why I need this. Imagine:
    - you need to play the external SWF file
    - you start to load it via the MovieClipLoader class
    - onLoadInit you stop the movie and wait for the load
    - check, if you can run the movie - based on bytes and/or frames you can determine, you preloaded enough, so the movie won't be stopped and you don't have to load more to continue
    - but, when you run the movie, the animation starts, just the sound doesn't, because more of it needs to be loaded.
    - then after short time the sound start to play and since it's streamed and on the timeline, it's sync with the animation
    So, in this scenario a few seconds of the sound are skipped / missing in playback. Of course, it could happen that the sound runs fine, because the SWF content could be different. I can't say 20% of the file size is audio and the rest is the animation.
    I wanted fully flash solution, but it seems I'll have to find it in combination with Java, because it seems there is no way to distinguish between audio and other data in the Flash movie in AS.
    Anyway, thank you for your help.

  • Flash Player update 10.3 unable to download and save flv files

    Hello,
    Since the Flash Player update to 10.3.183.10 it is no longer possible for me to download and save *.flv files. A file of only 2320 kb is saved along with a meta file of 1 kb. The 2320 kb file has a flv extension but the file will not play in any of my media players. Files of mp4 type still download and play fine. The problem only occurred following the last upgrade and even though I uninstalled then reinstalled Adobe Flash Player I cannot overcome the problem. My PC runs MS Windows Vista Home Premium Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. Browser Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421.
    Your assistance would be much appreciated.
    Dibloc

    Thank you.
    The problem only occurs when downloading flv files from YouTube. For all video downloads I have been using RealPlayer and experience no problems when downloading flv files from sites other than YouTube.
    Have been able to download these files now using the site http://www.savevid.com/
    Perhaps YouTube are blocking the use of RealPlayer from downloading flv files?

  • How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie? And why is it not synched?

    My iMovie the video is not synched to the audio.  It could be about two seconds off.  And sometimes the sound just stops. I tested it on Quick Time Player and burnt it to a dvd and it does the same thing.  The sound then stops halfway through besides my ilife sound effects.  How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie and dvd?  I taped the movie from my digital camera and it hasn't done this on imovie before. Any Help?

  • Embedded FLV plays slow

    I've got a couple of FLVs that I've embedded in my Flash
    movie. I've embedded them rather than having them stream because
    I'm essentially using them as RollOver effects so I need them to
    play INSTANTLY when you rollover something. Anyway... The issue is
    that they play fine when I preview my SWF in Flash, but once the
    SWF is embedded in a webpage and I view that page in IE or Firefox
    (I'm on WinXP) the FLVs play a little bit slower than they should.
    It's a slight slo-mo effect that I don't want! Is this a known
    issue? Should I just try to stream them off of the server rather
    than embed them? I assume there would be a lag and the FLVs
    wouldn't start playing instantly when I tell them to.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks a lot,
    Erik

    Solution...
    For whatever reason, SWFs don't play as fast in browsers.
    Period. This is probably old news to most of you. And I, too, have
    read this for years. This is just the first time that it's really
    caused any sort of issue. I created a FPS testing module that gives
    an on-screen display of the actual FPS of the SWF and then after
    250 frames gives you the average FPS for those 250 frames. The SWF
    is set to play at 50fps. When I test in Flash, I get just under
    48fps for the actual frame rate. When I preview in an HTML doc in
    Firefox, I get around 40-42fps. In IE7, 32-33fps. This is on a
    WinXP machine with an Athlon XP 2500+ cpu. The thing is, it's not
    even stressing the CPU when I do this test. The browsers just won't
    "let 'er fly"!
    Check out the SWF at:
    http://www.erikphansen.com/fps_test.htm
    Please let me know what you score and what system you are
    running it on!
    (Now that I have a few tabs open in Firefox, it's running a
    couple FPS slower, but my CPU still isn't showing much activity).
    Thanks a lot,
    Erik

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

    I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.
