Start Flash Video in stopped mode ...

Hi, I’m using a standard video player from flash8 and
the videos start right away when going on the web-page. How can I
define that the movie is stopped and you would need to hit the play
button before it starts. In the way that the first image of the
movie is shown in the player already at start.
You can download the .fla here :

Rich media (Flash, video, 3D, etc.) is stored in the PDF file in compressed form, and is uncompressed at the point of playback (i.e. when the video activates). This introduces a small delay if you're scrolling past a video, and there's not a lot you can do about it.

Start flash video

How can I have an event on my page start a flash video start?
I have a .FLV file that starts and looks correct. I see the
controls on the video. I want a rollover on a separate object
restart the video from the beginning.
I have tried looking it up, but have not found the correct
term.
Thank you very much for your clues.
Robert

It might be easiest, if you have autoRewind set to true, to
call:
my_btn.onRollOver = function() {
FLVComponent.stop(); //will rewind
FLVComponent.play();
}

I have Hughesnet with limited bandwidth and even with adblock plus websites start flash videos now - how can I stop the videos from loading when the web page loads

Hughesnet only allows us to use an allotted amount of download. If I use tabs on Firefox, some pages start their bandwidth eating flash yada yada and waste my allotment. I'd like to have Firefox default to NOT loading flash unless I do something to say OK. Adblock plus helps eliminate flash ads, but not page content that is in flash.

Flash player starts playing video but stops, audio still plays

When I watch videos on youtube the video and audio play fine for the first few seconds. Then all of a sudden the video stops playing, but the audio continues to play. I am using Firefox 3.0.10, Windows XP SP3, Intel Celeron Processor 434MHz, 256MB of Ram. This also happend with other browsers like Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. What can I do to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

First, disable Java. It's a security risk and has nothing to do with the problem.
If you're using Safari, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no change, from the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java
WebKit built-in PDF

Can't get flash video to stop looping even when i use stop(); in last frame

I have only just started using Flash so im sure im doing this wrong but in tutorials i have watched to stop the video looping you put stop(); in the last frame. I have done that but the video still loops... Anyone know where i am going wrong?

If the question is related to Adobe Presenter, I would recommend associating the SWF with the presentation play bar. This will allow the player to control the playback of the SWF and can move on to the next slide when the amount of silence (ideally equal to the duration of the SWF) has passed.
If this is a question related to Flash, I'll move it to the correct forum.

Camera flash/video light stops working after 4.5 upgrade?

OK, I apologize if this has been asked or covered here before, but I'm overwhelmed by irrelevant search results on all the search terms I can think of for "flash". Today when I did a routine sync the desktop manager wanted to upgrade me to 4.5, so I did. Apparently, my camera flash and video light LED now no longer works, although it was fine before the upgrade. I've tried changing settings from Automatic to On and even Off then On in both the camera and video cam apps, but no luck. I have also done a battery pull. Short of falling back to the previous OS release, which I am loathe to do since it's taken me most of the day to get everything else back to normal after the upgrade, what else can I try? -Sean

Any feedback on this one???
So much money spent on such a buggy device does not look like a good deal to me. Looks like Apple will loose me forever as a customer.

Flash Video Encoder Quit Unexpectedly

I have an Intel iMac and when I first loaded my Adobe Suite
everything worked fine, but then the Flash Video Encoder stopped
working with "Flash Video Encoder Stopped Unexpectedly" and I
cannot get it to work again. I deleted the files and reloaded the
program from the original DVD and that did not work.
When I was setting up a new user on my iMac, I tried running
the Flash Video Encoder in the other user and it ran fine, but when
I returned to the main user, it would not start and gave the same
error. I'm relatively new to Macs - a bit more than a year - so I
suspect it is some setting or preference or something that I have
wrong.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
-Brian-

I am getting the exact same error on my windows vista x64.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling quite a number of
times with no luck. I don't believe it is anything done wrong but
has to be some kind of bug in the installation somewhere.
Also any help would be appreciated.
Mike

10.7.4 update causes YouTube and Flash video Errors?

Since updating to 10.7.4 yesterday, I've noticed that YouTube and other online Flash videos stutter, stop and continue playing, or pause frequently. Has anyone else noticed this bug? I'm using the newest version of Chrome but tried Safari as well and noticed the same kind of bug. If anyone has a fix it would be greatly appreciated.

File a bug report with Apple.

Flash videos only play in a quarter of the screen

This problem has been going on with my MacBook Pro for months... on some sites, Flash videos in fullscreen mode only take up a quarter of the screen, with the rest black. This happens on every browser, and persists regardless of the number of times I've cleared the browser cache, history, etc. Anyone have a fix?

Usually at the bottom toolbar of the video window, there is a Full Screen button. Is it missing?
1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button.
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
    Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.
3. Turn off Extensions, if any.
     Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Relaunch Safari.

Flash video is just awful - starts and stops

10.6.8 iMac 4Gb ram. Main browser Firefox.
Flash video has gotten progressively worse with Adobe updates over last 3 months. Used to run youtube smooth as glass.
Now yt video runs for a 30 sec then stops, restarts after 5seconds, runs for 15, stops for 5. If you rerun the same video (see wrchd.com for Argentine Rally preview video), it stops and starts at the same spots.
I have Little snitch running a you can see a nice buffer load of data come in to start the video, then there is a period when there's no activity until it stops. It sort of like Flash gets carried away watching its own display and forgets to get more info.
Same results watching dailyshow.
I've tried turning hardware acceleration in Flash off and on with no change in performance.
So why does Flash fail now?
Thanks for any advice.

Is the video starting and stopping or just the audio? What OS, browser, and Flash Player Version are you using? Can you also provide us with a URL to try out?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash videos stop after about a second of playback ?

ANY flash videos that are played inside Internet explorer OR
firfox stop after about a second of playback, I can drag the slider
to the middle of the video and it will play for another second then
stop. Can anybody HELP. PS I also have NO sound in any FLASH stuff
since installing flash player 9. ALL other video's (WMP,MOV,RM)
play OK WITH sound

Hi ATR
Thanks for the advice and ideas.
I think that the vertical white line basically just shows where the mouse pointer last was relative to the time line, and if you move it from the editing window to the viewing window, it retains its last known position on the time line.
None the less - I implemented your suggestion.
Even if I move the clip further down the timeline, the playback stops about 1-4 secons after I hit play. Even if I move the clip 60 seconds back from the starting line, playback stops while the the playback position is running through the empy space prior to reaching the new starting time of the clip.
If I move the blue cursor that shows the current playing point to anywhere else in the clip, it plays for about 1-4 second and then freezes as before.
Clearly the playback freezes regardless of where it is in the content stream.
I have also discovered a new unexpected feature... The problem seems to be intermittent - if I open a few other clips, and play them, and return to the previous clip, it may run for some time and then freeze. After it has then frozen once, it freezes consistently after 1-4 seconds.
It is also worth noting that it freezes in quick mode too, regardless of timelines.
So there you have it - an intermittent issue.
I have bad to use iMovie in the meantime, which works without issues.
It is beginning to look like a bug in the application...
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Adding volume switch to Flash 8 video and stopping it play before it plays

Can anyone help me on how to add a volume bar that works on
Flash 8 video?
I have this script on the video:
myVideo.seekBar=mySeek;
myVideo.playPauseButton=myPlay;
myVideo.volumeBar = myVolum;
myVideo.stopButton = myStop;
I want to add a volume switch to my video.
Does anyone know what I need to get a volume switch working?
I´ve added a volume bar and tried to get it working but it
does'nt.
I also want my Flash video not to start but you have to click
the button 1st to get it to play. Anyone know?

Try this, worked for me:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/custom_flvcomp_03.html
Also, if you want to initiate the video to start with a play
button, have a fake player(graphic) and a stop action. On the next
frame have your video component set to play automatically in the
parameters, and have the play button you have made to goto the
frame with that component..

Adobeflash player ver. 11.8.800.94.0 keeps stopping and starting during video. How do I correct this

Flash video - behaviour when buffering stops

I've started using progressive Flash video on one of my sites. The objective is to provide subtitling for foreign learners of English. It works well, subtitles jump around on full screen, but that's just cosmetic.
However, one of my testers reports that periodically the playback stops, and you have to press the start button to continue. The desired behaviour would be à la YouTube, where it pauses, the buffer fills, it continues. I've only seen this problem once on my system.
There are references to this in the discussions, eg http://forums.adobe.com/message/3794903#3794903 but few answers.
So, can I ask
1. With progressive flash video, what is the expected default behaviour when the playback hits the end of the buffer because too little data is being downloaded - is it supposed to recover and continue automatically ?
or
2. If not, is there a known fix ?
My goodness, it's a black art Flash Video ! Here's a link where maybe you'll see the problem.

I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:
