Yes, that is what I meant. It's just not clear to me what
exactly you are trying to do, you describe boxes and bigger boxes
on the same page. If you are trying to communicate between two SWFs
on the same page, try LocalConnection.

Streaming MP3 with flash

I want to stream a single MP3 file (could convert in to WMV
if needed) with a flash player which contains a pause/stop/pay
button with flash/dreamweaver.
Anyone know how I could do that?

When streaming Vid with flash player, audio and video are not in sync

With Flash 11.6, audio and video are not in sync. Video is slower. Using Firefox 20.0.1

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

How can I stream video with Flash?

Hi guys!
I have a placeHolder MC in my main movie.
Within the placeHolder is an external swf containing an mpg
video.
How can I code the preloader of the external swf to stream
the mpg?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
All the best,
Mark

if you mean stream as in streaming video, you need the
communication server.
if you mean preload the file, you can do so with various
components in flash.
loadMovie
Loader
MovieClipLoader
and more that escape my mind atm.

Problem streaming MP3 with flash and IE7

Ok, I have a big problem here. Only occurs with Internet
Explorer 7 and possibly 6 too. Happens only on some systems, one of
mine do that, I have 3 systems.
I have a website that opens a window that streams a webradio
from another website. The websites are not on the same server. When
I first open IE, and click on the radio link that contains de flash
file that loads the MP3 file to stream, it works. I close down the
window, re-open the link, and it keeps loading (the little circle
keeps rotating for ages). I have latest version (9.0.47.0) of flash
player installed, like my other systems. If I close all instances
of explorer and open the radio link again, it works ! But at the
moment I close down the new window (there's another explorer opened
at that moment), and open it again, it won't work.
Seems to be either explorer OR flash to be faulty, I tried 4
different flash player, they all do the same thing, so it's not the
flash player (SWF file) that loads the MP3. Is there a solution? Is
it a known problem??

Problem with Arabic text with flash player 10 32bit under linux platforms

Arabic encoding characters do not show correct in the right form at all linux distributions .
note: with windows platforms, it shows arabic characters correctly.
this video contains captions and subtitles, in the attachement two snapshots,
First, show the arabic sentences in the right form with "swfdec mozilla" plugins.
The other, show the arabic words with "adobe flash player 32bit" plugins,
for example: Arabic font enconding cp-1256
the character ب
in the beginning of the word " بـ ".
in the middle " ـبـ "
at the end "ـب"
isolated character "not in word "ب"
the word
كتب in the right form
begin from right with " كـ "
with adobe flash player
ب ت ك
it shows from left to right and use only isolated characters.
I report to adobe and they response
Hi Ghost,
Since you do not have a 64 bit machine please proceed to reinstall the
32 bit edition.
For the current release version of Flash player 10, it does support
Right to left, But you can’t use a text field on stage and have it
work. When authoring the content in Flash cs4, you would have to use
the Flash text engine. more information on that can be found here:

I too am having this problem. On all of my linux distributions, including Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, knoppix 5,1, fedora 8,9,10 flashplayer 10 is broken in the same way. It reports that it cannot find webcam, and the settings dialog refuses to recognize mouse clicks. I've poked around the web quite a bit and have not yet found a solution. I saw the problem mentioned on an adobe bug reporting site and their response was to close the issue saying it wasn't repeatable on their system. I tried to re-open it and my post was deleted without comment (I may have posted incorrectly or something)
Looking here and elsewhere I see that the problem is very common and I don't see any posted bug-fixes, or even acknowledgement that a bug exists. Has adobe lost interest in being cross-platform compatible?

Online Streaming error with Flash Player....

Hi there, I dont download files but I watch alot of foreign stuff online with English subtitles...there's a particular site that I go to and it asked me to download the latest Adobe Flash Player which I did, once I play the video, it tried to "load subtitles" and then I get an error message "fail to decompress Subtitles JSON. Cannot display subtitles" video plays fine though
I've logged a problem directly with them and yet they have not replied...I use Firefox, is there something else I need to do?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you in advace

Hi Mugetsu
I've just tried the sites you listed above and they worked perfectly fine for me.
I'm on Firefox and downloaded the latest version to Flash Player, I'm not an expert or anything but have you check your plugins to see if you have another player operating also? I read somewhere online that if after you download the Flash Player and it's videos still don't work then you have to disable the other type player? I had a Real Player which I have now disabled...but as I say I'm not sure if that's even close to solving your problem, probably best to wait for the experts

Who can tell me flash media Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 (p2p) with flash access

flash access support flash media Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 (p2p) ?

Hi,
Flash Access will work delivered via FMS over RTMP.
Flash Access should work over an RTMFP client-server connection -- by default it's exactly the same as RTMP as far as functionality, unless you're in "live unbuffered" mode, which you probably wouldn't be for a client-server streaming scenario with Flash Access protection.
However, if you mean "P2P multicast", then that is not a supported scenario.
cheers,

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.

Problem with displaying text in flash player

I have flash player 10.2.152.26 and opera 11.01 installed.
The problem is that text in flash is diplayed in an awful way like this:
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6918/alljo.png
And when i choose "settings" the window appears, but it doesn't react when I click on it.
Can anyone help, please?

Thanks for answering
So you have IE8 and the hardware acceleration was able to be UNchecked and FP(Flash Player) is working properly with IE.
In IE flash works fine with any settings.
When I unchecked "Hardware acceleration" checbox in IE it also became unchecked in opera, but nothing changed in opera's behavior.
When you don't use the Aero it's displayed correctly but the settings do not work. What settings are you referring to?
It's about flash settings in Opera
With aero: http://img443.imageshack.us/i/settingsh.png/
Without aero: http://img816.imageshack.us/i/settingswoaero.png/
In both cases the settings dialog is displayed like in the screenshots above, but when I click on checkbox/tabs/'close' button in it nothing happens. I can't change any settings or close it (dialog disappers only after reloading page)
Just to sum up everything mentioned above:
- In IE flash works fine regardless of any settings
- In Opera text is displayed wrong when using windows aero, and without aero theme it's displayed correct
- I didn't manage to make settings dialog work in Opera
- When I change some flash settings in IE, they are also changed in Opera
Now Flash Player works thru the browser, do you have perhaps have an addon that is conflicting? What Anti-Virus do you have Installed? Any addons of that?
I have 7 extensions installed in Opera, I've disabled all of them, but nothing changed.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, disabling it also gives nothing.

How to use an dynamic text from Flash in FlashBuilder with swf ?

Hello,
i'm trying to develop a game in flex builder and i got a problem with the dymanic text i've imported from flash. I want to insert a scoreboard in my application and for doing that i should use dynamic text in flash. I create a dynamic text in flash and then a import it to Flash Builder in a movie clip, and i called the dynamic text "Score". Now i've tried to use the "Score" variable to change the value of the dynamic text box un my flash builder application, but it doesn't change anything.
I read somewhere that i've got to use the score.text value to change the number of my score but that doesn't works because Flash Builder tells me that this sort of variable don't contain the .text value.
Thank you for trying to help me.
bye.

Thanks Ned,
I always welcome learning something new.
I did not know creating a new keyframe,
creates a new instance.
Yes, I had used the same dynamic text field instance name in
numerous, new layers (great observation).
With the objective to display the User's name throughout
the timeline (on and off)...
I'll attempt to paraphrase your solution;
Use a single layer to display the dynamic text field.
Extend this layer's timeline throughout the movie, or end use of the dynamic text field.
Help with this one ??
Set the visible properties to true or false as need through out the timeline.
( Does require an AS3 ? )
I'll give that a try.....
~~
Side of effect of using the above solution;
The SWF in it's attempted state, uses the dynamic text field instance, in
different places, different text sizes, on the stage, throughout the Movie.
(i.e. the User's first name appears in different sentences...)
Per the solution above,
I believe I will be limited to One location, one format setting.
Is this assumption correct?
I can make this work from a display / Movie point of view.
However, your first VAR concept, noted above, might be
worth exploring should more flexibility be required.
Thanks for making the time to coach...

Loading text file with flash lite 3.0 problem

Hello,
I recently ran into a problem with loading a plain text file with Flash Lite 3.0.
I know there is a way to load name/value pairs using LoadVars class or XML file using XML class. Both methods work great, but these classes parse the data loaded and I need to load just a plain text - no pairs or xml structure. (its because Im loading specific file format, so I can't make any changes to it)
There is a simple way how to achieve this in Flash using Actionscript 2 by extending the LoadVars class and overriding the onData() method. I used it plenty of times and it works fine.
There is an example of implementation:
// the PlainData.as file
class PlainData extends LoadVars {
    function onData(str) {
        trace(str)
        this.onLoad(true);
// now in the main file
var my_data:PlainData = new PlainData();
my_data.load("my3dmodel.obj");
This code traces unchanged content of my3dmodel.obj file.
The problem comes when I try to run this code using Flash Lite 3.0. The code stops working just by changing player version in publish settings to Flash Lite 3.0. It doesnt display any error, but also doesnt trace any content.
Is there a reason why you cant override onData method in LoadVars class in lite version of flash or am I doing something wrong?
(also overriding onLoad() method works fine in Flash Lite)

Flash Streaming Video with Close Captioning

Hello,
I am trying to create streaming video using flash. I've
already created the video and encoded as a FLV file.
Two questions:
1. I am currently hosting my streaming video on
Playstream.com. How do I incorporate this video such that when a
user views the content he/she will see a buffer bar loading as the
video plays? A good example is on YouTube.com.
2. I've aready created my close caption file and have it in
xml format. How do I sync my close captioned file with the flash
video?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know too much about how to capture both video and
aplication monitoring moves at the same time.
I do however want to warn you about a possible pitfall of
making the presenter's video by recording with a digital cammera in
front of a PC or TV monitor screen.
The video from a monitor screen, taken with a digital camera
comes out full of glitches and flashes. This is present the video
in the monitor, and those used by the recording digital camera to
capture the scenes. It's a synchronization problem and makes the
video very unconfortable to watch.
A wrokaround for this requires expensive and hard to come by
equipment. To work around this, I would suggest to record a video
of the presenter first. Have him or her read the script while
standing or sitting in front of a fixed colored background. This
helps to avoid distractions to the viewer.
Review, edit and decide how you like the presentation video
first. Create the video file, and then you can play it in a 2x2
window on your PC monitor.
Here is where my expertise stops.
I don't know how or if you can then record the screen while
manipulating and recording your application's CAPTIVATE file. Maybe
it's possible to capture both windows at the same time side by
side, but my point is that you need to avoid recording with a
digital camera from a video monitor, it just doesn't look good.
Hope this helps a little.

How to test streaming bandwidth on localhost with Flash Media Server ?

Hello,
I'm trying to debbug my code on Client side (Action Script 3) that works with Flash Media Server 4 on localhost. Everything seems fine up to that point.
However, when I'm trying to test my player with other remote streaming servers, I notice bugs because of lower bandwith transmission between the server and the player.
Is there a simple way to simulate lower bandwith with FMS4 on localhost (by config, application.xml, programmation...) ?
Thanks
Seb Ethier

Thank you zarihs Rawna
Indeed, i have been with Server-Side ActionScript (SSAS) way. it's more simple, i think.
Well, here the step what i did :
Step 1 :
Make a file "main.asc" et copy & paste the code below.
- more info : http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=31217
      *main.asc*
    var bandwidth;
    application.allowDebug = true;
    // Application callback functions
    application.onConnect = function(client, user) {
        //12800 = 100 Kbps
        //64000 = 500 Kbps
        //131072 = 1Mbps
        //327680 = 2.5 Mbps
        //983040 = 7.5 Mbps
        //1966080 = 15 Mbps
        //3932160 = 30 Mbps
        //6553600 = 50 Mbps
        //15728640 = 120 Mbps
        bandwidth = 64000;
        client.setBandwidthLimit(bandwidth, bandwidth);
        trace("clientToServer = " + client.getBandwidthLimit(0) + " serverToClient="+ client.getBandwidthLimit(1));
        application.acceptConnection(client);
        trace("TEST");
Step 2 : Save the file under the folder underneath FMS's applications directory
Example : FMS\application\dyn
More info : http://www.flashcomguru.com/articles/fms2_basics.cfm
Step 3: Start the FMS server. If there is a problem, check the log file
Example : FMS\logs\_defaultVHost_\dyn\_definst_\application.00.log
Step 4 : (optional) Change the value of the variable bandwidth for your test. I put in comment some common internet connection speed converted in bytes.
That's all,
regards,
sethier
