Prevent VideoDisplay from loading the entire video

Hello!
I want to use VideoDisplay components just to show the first frame of the videos, as a preview. So, what I do is
video.autoPlay = false;
video.autoDisplayFirstFrame = true;
But the problem is that they start downloading the entire videos. I've read some topics and docs and I feel that there is a way to avoid it
For example, I've tried this line:
video.mx_internal::videoPlayer.bufferTime = 1;
But nothing changes. Any suggestions, please?

for that, you should make a poster image so you don't start your video at all.  depending on your cs version, the flash ide can do that for you.
you can stop the video stream using the flvplayback class using the getVideoPlay() method but i'm not sure how to do that with the video class.  check to see if you can access the video player and execute a close() method to stop the stream.

  • I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE.  Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished.  Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

    Hello -
    I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE.  It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished.   Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
    Thanks.

    >I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
    My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
    Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

  • How do prevent firefox from loading(going to) a website(following a link, etc...) that i never want to see again(example: choose now & click on some link in the future)?

    I go to a website(link, etc...) & I never want to go there again, but sometime(anytime) later I come across some page that seems to be useful. I click on a link, and the other required links until I find that it is a waste of time & I then kind of remember having been there in the past & have wasted all this time again. This happening for many different sites over time.

  • How prevent movie from loading completely before playing?

    Hi,
    how do I prevent an swf from loading completely before
    starting to play in the browser? When simulating a download in the
    Flash application, several preload stages work perfectly, but not
    in the browser. Preload stages don't appear, instead it takes ages
    for the 3.5 mb file to completely load before displaying the first
    frame of the movie.
    I have tried inversing the load order in export settings and
    different flash versions, but just can't get it to work.
    Can someone help? Thank you!

    hi kglad
    I thought it should be that way; the point is that I don't
    want to add code that loads the entire movie before starting to
    play the first frame, but only a certain number of frames (i.e. 11
    out of 35, for example). I'm trying to do this with this code in
    the first frame:
    ifFrameLoaded (11) {
    gotoAndPlay("start");
    in the simulation, it works perfectly, but when uploading the
    movie and viewing it in html, the entire thing loads, and the
    preloader doesn't appear.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • I have downloaded a movie with subtitle to iMovie. When playing the video, the subtitle does not show up through the entire video. It happens to my Mac Air and Mac Pro.

    I have downloaded a video with subtitle. When playing the edited video, the subtitle does not show up in the entire video. The subtitle comes and goes in the video.I have tried with my Mac Pro and Mac Air, with the same result. I have downloaded movie with subtitle before and never had this problem. Please advise.

    I'm not very knowledgable on this but subtitles are sometimes on a separate track from the main movie.  Try opening the downloaded video in Quicktime Player and saving it - you may be asked if you want to "flatten movie".  Choose to do this.  The resulting movie will probably now work OK.  Others may be able to supply more comprehensive instructions.

  • How to prevent images from loading?

    I am working on creating a web gallery in Dreamweaver CS3.  The thumbnails are in a horizontal strip within a layer above the full sized image layer, in other words the strip is  hiding part of the image, but only when the image is in a vertical orientation. (the strip has no background, so all that is visible are the actual thumbnails) Upon clicking show/hide text , in a toggle configuration, the strip fades, or shows.   On my computer it works perfectly. However, once uploaded, it takes forever to load the images.
    The problem: Although I have the thumbnail images are set to preload,  all of the full size images are loading as well, which takes alot of time. Is there a way to prevent the full sized images from loading, i.e. only when the thumbnail is clicked?
    Frames, in which one frame is thumbnails, and another the is images, is what I normally would use, and have a page for each image. However, for what I have in mind, it will not work (transparency on parts of one frame above another is as far as I can tell not possible).
    So how do I prevent images from loading until called for?  regards~bill-o

    t would help if you posted a link to the page, but I can guess that you have properly diagnosed the cause - the page is encumbered with the weight of all of the full-sized images.
    The only way to not have this happen would be to dynamically write the link to the full sized-images on demand, as it were.  In other words, the link ISN'T EVEN ON THE PAGE until you have clicked on the corresponding thumbnail, and only at that point is the weight of that image experienced.  One easy way to do this is to use the SetText of Container behavior that is part of DW's native arsenal of behaviors.  When the thumb is clicked, the SetText behavior is called to write the image link into the enlarged image's container. Need to see a demo?  Look here -
    http://dreamweaverresources.com/tutorials/settextoflayer.htm
    The behavior is called "Set Text of Container", and using it will meet all of your requirements.
    To use it, you will have to have the following:
    1.  A page with a 'container' which is to receive the enlarged image - this could be a table cell, a paragraph tag, a div, or even a span tag.
    2.  That container will have to be identified with an ID attribute and a valid value, e.g., <div id="enlargedImage">.
    3.  A dummy page containing each enlarged image, placed sequentially on the page.
    To implement the effect, do the following:
    1.  Open the dummy page in Code view, and select the first image's tag, e.g., <img src="images/foo.jpg" width="123" height="256" alt="whatever" /> (XHTML syntax shown here).
    2.  Switch to the actual page, select a thumb that will 'open' this enlarged image, and enter "javascript:;" (that's colon semicolon) in the 'Link' field of the Property inspector to make this thumbnail image a null link.
    3.  Apply the Set Text of Container behavior.
    4.  Paste the clipboard into the dialog for the behavior, and click OK to close the dialog.
    5.  Examine the Behavior panel to see which mouse event has been defaulted - probably 'onclick'.  If you would rather have this be 'onmouseover' use the Behavior panel Event selector (the dark triangle to the right of the event name) to select 'onmouseover'.
    5.  Repeat from #1 above until all thumbs have been treated.
    Let us know if this does not make sense

  • There is not enough free memory to load the entire file

    I saw an older reference to this error in a previous post which apparently got resolved, but didn't explain precisely how it got resolved:
    Michael Kitzmiller, "There is not enough free memory to load the entire file" #, 27 Jul 2007 5:23 am
    I presume that one answer is to rebuild the document from scratch, changing imported images to referenced images. But I want to recover the file as I put hours of work into it and expected that anything I can save that I also should be able to read back in. I will certainly change to referenced images, but I have to be able to open it first.
    thank you

    Here is a smattering of ideas.
    Do you have ample unused HDD space? If not, defrag it, although in myu experience, this hardly makes a difference. Check your TEMP/TMP folders and clean them out. Consider downloading cCleaner and running it. Do everything you can to make ample room on your HDD and in places like your TEMP folders. If your HDD is congested, temporarily remove big but relatively unimportant applications and move data elsewhere for a while.
    Even with 4GB of RAM, Frame can only use somewhere between 2.7 - 3.2 GB of it under the very best of conditions, and that includes the application as well as the files. Unpacking image files can consume considerably more space than it takes to store them. For example, a 1024 x 768 color image requires more than 3.1MB to describe it as a 32-bit color image, yet when stored in JPEG format, it can be as small as 50kB, a compression of 65:1. Of course, it's not reasonable to assume that your document is comprised entirely of such highly-compressed images, but in the unachievable extreme, it would take 980MB to simultaneously open 15MB worth of those kind of files. The point here is to not fall into the trap of thinking a 15MB file comprising a lot of images needs little more than 15MB of RAM.
    Make sure ALL other applications are closed when trying to open your file...Outlook, IE or FireFox, Anti-Virus and Spyware apps, Word, etc.
    Consider sending a copy of the file to someone else to see if they can open it for you and delete some of the images before resaving it. If you have a backup copy, rename your current file and restore the backup. Maybe your working copy is corrupt. Who knows? Anything is probably worth trying as long as you have a save copy stored somewhere.

  • Prevent Windows from mounting the external drive?

    From some reason whenever I launch the add and remove control panel Windows starts accessing my external Firewire drive and it seems to keep it from loading the programs list, forcing me to unmount the drive and relaunch the control panel. The drive is just for Time Machine and I don't need access to it in Windows, is there a way to prevent Windows from mounting the drive. I'm using Macdrive so changing the format won't help.

    Hi Brian,
    usually I would propose to either pull the power plug of the external harddisk or the USB-/Firewire- connection before booting up into Window.
    If this is a Firewire-connected harddisk you might have success with disableing the 'IEEE 1394 Host controller' in the Device Manager (Control Panel - System - Hardware).
    Hope it helps

  • Why am I receiving a notice to update my version and then not able to click on it? It also prevents me from entering the internet if I put my computer to sleep with this update box there!

    The box appears after I'm on the internet. It's on my desktop when I go to shut down my computer and after I've shut down the internet. When I click on the x it doesn't disappear. When I click on the box indicating Yes, I'd like to update my version of Firefox it does nothing. If I leave this box there and put my computer to sleep it stays on and actually prevents me from entering the internet! I need to restart my computer or shut down! My computer is a MacBook Pro and is only one year old .

    They have to know who the person is who has their account set up wrong?   Do you know who they are or how to identify them?
    if not, how do you expect Verizon to find which user that is?
    Best thing for you to do is set up a mail filter and just throw those into the trash or delete them the second they come into your email box.

    I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    Go up to the top of your screen on iTunes and click on 'Store'.  Then go down to 'Authorize This Computer'.  That should cover part of it unless you've already authorized a bunch of other computers to use your account.  If that's the case, you'll have to go to one of those computers and click the button just below it to 'deauthorize your account' from that computer.  If you're not able to access the store, check your internet connection to make sure you are connected.  Hope this helps.. good luck!     

  • Captivate 5: is there a way to prevent someone from taking the quiz, without going through the conte

    Hi.
    Is there a way in Captivate 5 to prevent someone from clicking on the quiz to take it, without having gone through the content?
    CB.

    Hi.
    Regarding preventing someone from taking the quiz without going through the content...
    I decided to separate the quiz out of the project as a separate item.
    We are going to use a Learning Management System which will house the module to control the access.
    The LMS can be set to not allow people to click on the Quiz link, until they have gone through the content.  (So they cannot by-pass the content and just do the quiz).
    I was trying to find a way to control this from within Captivate 5 and keep people from being able to click on the quiz without going through the content. (And keep the quiz inside the original project).
    However, this LMS solution will work for this module.
    Thanks everyone!

  • Is there a way to prevent AnyConnect from caching the username of the last person who connected to the VPN?

    Is there a way to prevent AnyConnect from caching the username of the last  person who connected to the VPN?

    This can be done via specifying the "RestrictPreferenceCaching" parameter as described in the Anyconnect Admin Guide here:
    By design, AnyConnect does not cache sensitive information to disk. Enabling this parameter extends this policy to any type of user information stored in the AnyConnect preferences.
    •Credentials—The user name and second user name are not cached.
    •Thumbprints—The client and server certificate thumbprints are not cached.
    •CredentialsAndThumbprints—Certificate thumbprints and user names are not cached.
    •All—No automatic preferences are cached.
    •false—All preferences are written to disk (default—behavior consistent with AnyConnect 2.3 and earlier).

  • Possible to prevent Firefox from loading two versions of Flash, without disabling PLID scan?

    Our IT department—what a great way to start a question—does not roll out regular updates for Flash. To bridge this security gap for Firefox on my work computer, I copy the following files:
    * flashplayer.xpt
    * FlashPlayerPlugin_<version>.exe
    * FlashUtil32_<version>_Plugin.exe
    * NPSWF32_<version>.dll
    from C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash on another machine and paste them to
    C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Plugins on my work machine. When Firefox starts, it scans the various locations (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning) and finds both this version and of course the outdated version originally installed, which IT does not update (currently 11.1.102.55). This effectively updates Flash, and until IT finds a solution to distribute updates I'll have to continue to update Flash manually (Java is unfortunately not so easy to fix), but still leaves me with a problem.
    My perceived problem is that Firefox still scans the default installation directory of Flash and thus finds the outdated version. Under Add-ons > Plug-ins, I can select from "Ask to Activate," "Always Activate" and "Never Activate." If I select "Ask to Activate" for the current version (12.0.0.43) and "Never Activate" for the old version (11.1.102.55), upon restarting Firefox it sets both to "Ask to Activate." I conclude that Firefox does not treat separate Flash versions independently. Since constantly being prompted to activate Flash is bothersome, I could just set both to "Always Activate," but that leaves an old, even-more-compromised-than-the-current version of Flash activated.
    The best solution, I suppose, would be to uninstall the outdated version of Flash, but I don't have the administrative rights to do so, and don't want to pester our IT administrators. I could prevent Firefox from scanning the directories specified in the Windows registry for PLIDs (see above link), but this would prevent it from finding my also-outdated-but-only-installed Java Plug-In, which I keep thinking I need. The behavior I'm after is to prevent Firefox from scanning or finding the old Flash version, while still finding my Java Plug-in. How could I go about this?
    Thanks

    Maybe you can check the pluginreg.dat file to see if you can disable/remove the other Flash plugin and make the file read-only to prevent changes.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
