Tweening a looping FLV

Hi All,
It's me again. Stumped again:
Kglad helped me make a FLV loop seamlessly and tween an FLV (converted to a movie clip) so that it zooms. Now I'm trying unsuccesfully to make both (loop and zoom) happen at the same time. It looks like the looping method below only works on a FLVPlayback component ...and the tweening method only works on a movie clip. Any recommendations?
Here's the code in frame 1 of my timeline:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.video.*;
//Looks like the looping code below can't make a movie clip loop. It only works with a FLV
//in a FLVPlayback component.
//Loop the FLV animation
var index:int = 0;
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
my_FLVPlybk.source = "FroggyTop.flv";
my_FLVPlybk.play();
readyNextPlayerF();
function completeHandler(e: fl.video.VideoEvent): void {
my_FLVPlybk.play();
    my_FLVPlybk.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = index;
    readyNextPlayerF();
function readyNextPlayerF():void{
index++;
    my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = index;
    my_FLVPlybk.source = "FroggyTop.flv"; //assign the source
//Zoom (enlarge) the FLV animation.
//Needed to make the FLVPlayback component a movie clip 1st).
var scaleXTween:Tween=new Tween(LoopingMC,"scaleX",
None.easeNone, 1,3,5,true);
var scaleYTween:Tween=new Tween(LoopingMC,"scaleY",
None.easeNone, 1,3,5,true);
//How can I do both on same object at the same time (ie; make the animation loop as it's tweening)?
Here's the posted swf: http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/mortals/froggy/linkedFLV__loopAndZoom.swf
Here's the fla source file: http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/mortals/froggy/linkedFLV__loopAndZoom.fla
Thanks much.

I thought I tried that but maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean. Here's what I'm doing:
-From my main timeline I select: Insert > new symbol
-Name it "childMC"
-drag the FLVPlayback component from the library to the stage
-Set the Properties of the flvPlayback component so that its source is the FLV in the same folder
-On the FLVPlayback's layer in the timeline: extend the frame to span 20 frames (click on frame 20 and hit F5)
-select that span and rt click and choose 'create motion tween'
-click on the flvPlayback object on the stage so the Properties window reflects the flvplayback's properties
-select the last frame and change the x and y scale so it's bigger
-hit the return key to preview: I see the flv grow as the playhead moves from the first frame to the last frame (looks fine)
-now go back to the main timeline
-create a new layer in the timeline
-find the just-created "childMC" in the library and drop it onto the stage (and into that new layer)
-Control > test movie
The childMC on the main timeline stage does not change in size as it does when I preview from the tweened movie clip's timeline. The movie clip on the main timeline plays ..but just stays the same size on the stage.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

  • Looping FLV stutters.

    Hi All,
    I'm experiencing a frustrating issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated:
    I am looping a FLV (with Alpha) in a SWF. The FLV is an animation created in After Effects. In After Effects the animation was created to loop seemlessly (no jerk or stutter...a smooth repetitive cycle), however, when I loop it with the SWF, it stops for a split second at the end of its 8 second run before it starts over again. How can I make it loop smoothly without that stutter when it begins again?
    I'm using Flash CS5.5. I export the flv from After effects and link that from the swf. Here's the Actionscript3 code I'm using to play and loop the flv:
    import fl.video.*;
    //Video component instance name
    var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display;
    var flvSource:String = "loopingFlv.flv";
    //Loop the video when it completes
    function completeHandler(e:fl.video.VideoEvent):void
    flvControl.seek(0);
    flvControl.play()
    flvControl.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    //Set video
    flvControl.source = flvSource;
    Here is the short animation for you to see:
    http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/mortals/froggy/loopingFlv.swf
    -you can see the stutter every 8 seconds. (I'd also like it to start moving upon load...without that initial pause...but maybe that's too much to ask.)
    Thanks for the help!

    Kglad,
    I've encountered a glitch that I believe is due to my looping code based upon your code above. Below is a stripped-down version of my movie that demonstrates the problem: The child MC with the looping code in it will vanish. This happens only intermittently (maybe every other browser reload or so after somewhere between 4 and 40 secs).
    I didn’t notice the problem before because it only happens in .swf mode (when viewed thru a browser). I never see the problem in authoring mode. I’m hoping you might have some insight about how to prevent the 'vanishing MC' problem so I can use your code which does a great job of seamlessly looping my FLV animated movie clips.
    Here’s the bare-bones test swf:
    http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/mortals/froggy/index2.html
    -I linked the source files from the top of that page, if you have time to test it.
    What I’m doing:
    I put the following code on an layer in frame 1 of a child movie clip. This movie clip has a FLVPlayback component in it called, ‘childMovieClip.’
    import fl.video.*;
    var index:int = 0;
    childMovieClip.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    childMovieClip.source = "central_2.flv";
    childMovieClip.play();
    readyNextPlayerF();
    function completeHandler(e: fl.video.VideoEvent): void
        childMovieClip.play();
        childMovieClip.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = index;
        readyNextPlayerF();
    function readyNextPlayerF():void
        index++;
        output1.text = "loop index: " + index; // For troubleshooting output to stage
       childMovieClip.activeVideoPlayerIndex = index;
        childMovieClip.source = "central_2.flv"; //assign the source
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How to loop FLV video?

    Status:
    - I imported an AVI video clip to Flash converting it to FLV
    - I published the project
    - I put the files on my web server
    - It automatically starts playing when you go to the web page
    Question:
    How do I make the clip loop?
    I've not done much Flash and no Action Script - so the simpler the better
    Thanks for any help.
    Details:
    (that may not be necessary to help me )
    - I wrote no Action Script to do this...
    - just imported/converted the video then published from Flash and them put on web server
    - Running Flash CS3 on PC with XP
    - I did Google this and found this how-to http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=984BA
    But I can't find their download sample
    And, they say click on Frame-1 and press F9 then put code snippit in after line 7
    But, I see no Action Script when I click on Frame 1 and press F9... a window opens but no code appears...just a long menu on the left.
    Thanks again for any help.

    Given your Code:
    import fl.video.VideoEvent;
    flv.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,videoCompleteF);
    function videoCompleteF(e:Event){
    flv.seekSeconds(0);
    flv.play();
    When you say use "my name instead of flv in the code" do you mean use the name of my project or the name of my flv video file?
    My "project" is named zzz so I have these files...
    zzz.fla
    zzz.html
    zzz.swf
    SkinUnderAll.swf
    MyVid.flv
    AC_RunActiveContent.js
    So If I used the project name instead of flv in your code I would get...
    import zzz.video.VideoEvent;
    zzz.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,videoCompleteF);
    function videoCompleteF(e:Event){
    zzz.seekSeconds(0);
    zzz.play();
    Is this correct?
    Thanks again kglad !!

  • How do I prevent Motion Tween from Looping

    I am using Flash CS4. I applied a Motion preset to one of the symbols on my stage. However, the Motion tween is applied to the symbol infinitely & it loops over to the beginning of the tween after completing it.
    However, I only want the tween to complete once & not loop over after it. How can I achieve this in CS4??

    Why I need to insert the keyframe on a new layer?? Why not insert the keyframe on the last frame of the current layer, or the next frame of the current layer??
    I tried doing this but the Actions Panel showed "Current selection cannot have Actions applied to it".

  • Repeat/Loop FLV movie that is embeded in swf

  • Loop a short flv before the live stream begins

    Hi,
    Using FMS 3.02 and FME 2.5 is it possible to run a looping
    flv that the clients can see, before the live stream begins, and
    when the live stream finishes, an exit flv video plays?
    cheers

    Besides, can I draw data from DataBase (say, MS SQL Server) on server side? Can server-side ActionScript do this?

  • Motion Tween Problem

    I'm new with AS3 and am designing a tween that will have 6 or more tweens that  loop continuously in a series.
    How do I create the stop and go between each tween series, but still in a continous loop?  Please view this similar example
    Thanks and I'll apprecaite all replies!

    Based on what I saw in the example you only have to worry about managing one tween and then create 6 or more of those managed tweens.  The general scheme could be you have a tween with a finish listener that sets a timer with a somewhat random delay (between x and y seconds) that upon timing out sets a tween with a listener and so on and so on.

  • Multiple motion tweens

    Hi!
    I have a problem, which I couldn't solve. I made three motion tweens. One is the background, which slides in from left. Another one, is a car, which goes in the scene from right. The two visible wheels of this car are spinning too using a motion tween. The problem is that all these motion tweens keep looping. I would like to let the background and the wheels of the car loop forever, but I want the car to come in from right and stop on the left. When I tried to stop it, it stopped the car, but unfotunately it stopped the background too. How could I manage to let the background and the wheels of the car loop, but stop the car in a position?
    I hope I was clear enough. Here is the .fla file in case you didnt understand it :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9FRPFVHT

    The car and the background are in seperate tweens. How can I stop only one of them?
    I used stop(); for the car, but it stops the background too.
    PS: I forgot to tell you that I'm a beginner in flash

  • Add an Intro FLV before live stream starts

    Hi,
    I have a console that has a main VideoDisplay that will
    broadcast a live stream.
    I'm using FME 2.5 with FMS 3.02.
    What I would like to have the ability to run a looping FLV in
    the VideoDisplay until the Live stream begins which will then cut
    in.
    I know this may be a FMS 3.02 config, but any advise would be
    appreciated...
    If it is also possible to play an Exit FLV when the live
    stream stops..that would be a bonus....
    Cheers

    Hi Macnimation,
    The tutorial is helpful only if you are using some Flash Authoring tools to write your playback client (which is playing back the video from the FMS at your side). In that case, inside your client code, there must be a NetStream object ns, and a statement like ns.play(filename, 0, -1), where filename is the name of your final video which you have created by combining the various videos you want to play.
    So to create a playlist (as described in the tutorial), you need to modify the ns.play() statement. If your video files are named A.flv, B.flv, and so on, while the short intro video is named X.flv, you can write the following sequence of statements to create  a playlist:
    ns.play("X", 0, -1, true);
    ns.play("A", 0, -1, false);
    ns.play("X", 0, -1, false);
    ns.play("B", 0, -1, false);
    The last parameter (true/false) is the reset parameter. For the first time, it is true, to indicate that reset the play and start playing stream X immediately. For the following statements, it is false, indicating that play the stream A after the previous stream (i.e. x) is completed.
    Thanks.

  • Javascript with in a tabbed panel

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run a javascript for a carousel within a tabbed panel but I can't get the script to run when I choose that tab
    eg:
    Tab 1 content = static
    Tab 2 content =  Javascript
    Tab 3 content = static
    I have to have them in that order, so I can't cheat and have it as the first tab.
    So I need to know how can I fire the carousel script when the tab 2 content is displayed

  • How to set a loop on an .flv so that an exported .swf loops?

    hi there. i am using Flash CS4 and I would like to know how to set a loop in an flv file so that when it is exported to swf, the movie will loop. Basically i have taken an existing interactive flash movie and have decompiled it into its individual flv counterparts. what i intend to do is take out all the nonsense from each flv file and then reconstruct the flash movie, export each file to swf and then convert each swf to avi or some other video format. to do this i will be using sothink swf to avi converter which allows you to convert swf files to avi files. this program allows you to convert swf files that loop by looping the swf file for as long as you want until you stop it, in which a video file is created from "the recording"
    after i decompiled the original file, many of the existing flv files were already set to loop. i know this because when exported to swf the swf file would loop. now when i went ahead and went into each flv file to edit a couple things, when i went to export them to swf, the swf files wouldn't loop. mind you, some of them did loop, and some of them did not loop. the ones i have edited are all supposed to loop and i cannot figure out what it is thats preventing some of the flv or exported swf files to loop. all i did was take out a few unnecessary frames from the beginning of each flv and nothing more. i am pretty new to Flash and do not know anything about coding and know very little about flash settings.
    i figured that selecting the "loop playback" option in the control drop down menu might help seeing as the flv file does loop when played in the editor, but again when exported to swf the swf file does not loop. what confuses me the most is that some of the exported swf files do loop. ALL of the exported swf files need to loop and my guess is that in order to make that happen, something in the flv file needs to be set correctly.
    can someone please assist me with this issue? if there is a way to simply loop an existing swf file that does not loop, can someone tell me how to do that? any help with this problem is greatly appreciated and i appologize if something like this has been asked before.... i just couldnt stand looking through 22 pages of search results to find the exact solution to my problem
    thank you!!!

    Hi,
    You can use shortDesc property. Something like
    <af:commandToolbarButton text="Some Button"
          id="ctb1" shortDesc="This button does something.."/>-Arun

  • Importing flv with external playback.. loop?!

    Hi!
    I'm trying to create google ads under the 50kb limit which is causing some headaches...anyway! I've noticed something. If I import my flv (which I've created in after effects) into adobe flash CS5.5 with "load external video with playback component" and then export the whole thing out as a SWF the file size is really small. 50 kb's compared to 795.6 kb's if the "embed flv in SWF" option is used.
    So my problem is this, I want to use the option of "load external video with playback component" but I want the video to loop when it's exported out as an SWF. Is this actually possible?
    I've tried some scripts which I've found, but I cant get it to work.
    Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
    Many thanks!
    M

    Well yes, you can loop the video using the FLVPlayback, but I think you are missing the point of the 50kb google ad limit.
    When you use FLVPlayback, you must also use an external .flv file. So besides the <50kb .swf file, you will also have the >700kb .flv file. You cannot just use the .swf. So together, those two files put you way over the 50kb limit.

  • How to loop to a certain frame with an embedded video flv

    Hi everyone,
    I've searched the internet high and low but can't seem to find an answer to my problem. I have an flv video file that I've imported into Flash CS5 project as an embedded movie, because graphic and movie clip both produced still images. I want to embed the final product onto my website, and have the video autostart in the beginning, play all the way through, and then go back to frame 40 or so and loop continuosly from there. I've tried selecting the final frame and applying the instancename.gotoandplay (40); code but it isn't working. I read that this only works on keyframes, so I tried making the final frame a keyframe but because it is an flv file for some reason it isn't allowing me to do that. I'm a newbie, any help is appreciated.

    A second option is to use a NetStream video play. This is a much more powerful and versatile way to control video.
    Looping back to any point in the video is very easy.
    All it takes to get started with NetSteam is to go to the Library panel top bar, in the far right is a tiny menu icon....click and open it, choose new video, actionscript controlled. A video (icon) will appear in the Library.
    Drag the video unto the stage, position and set dimensions as needed. Give it an instance name of "video_screen".
    All you need now is a little actionscript:
    stop();
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
    video_screen.attachVideo(ns);
    /* Name of your video, with correct path, goes here */
    ns.play("video1.flv");
    the example path assumes that the video file is named "video1.flv" and is in the same folder as the Web page... edit both as needed.
    Test at this point to insure it's working.
    Now to loop add this to the actionscript:
    ns.onStatus = function(info) {
      if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
      trace("Video complete")
        ns.seek(60);
      ns.play(); 
    This example will trace "Video complete" at the end of the video and then "seek" back to 60 seconds into the video and "play" again from that point.
    While it doesn't seek to a frame, you can figure out what time corresponds and use that.
    If you are interested in trying this method, I'd suggest you set up a new, blank Flash doc and test on there. then exact size and placement is no issue. Just get the video playing and looping. Then implement in the real project.
