Unable to drag FLVPlayback Component onto stage

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on why I can't
drag the FLVPlayback Component (AS3 version) onto the stage? I open
Component Inspector, and see the component, yet when I try and drag
it onto the stage, or into the Library, nothing happens. Each of
the individual controls, I don't have an issue with, they appear as
soon as I drag them, however the FLVPlayBack component won't have a
bar of it.

One or more of the files in the iPhoto Library are corrupted.
You can right click on the iPhoto Library and "Show Package Contents" inside is a folder called Originals.
You can mess around and copy files in small batches until you hit the snag.

Hello,
A few items to consider:
Do the components appear if you reload the page?
If not, do any errors appear in the error.log when you drag the component onto the page?
If there are no errors, are the components built to display something in the default / unconfigured state?

Flash CS5: unable to drag component to stage or library

We are the developers of a complex Flash component (http://www.openspace-engine.com) which worked without issues on Flash CS3 and CS4. Now, in Flash CS5 (both Mac and Windows versions) we have found a couple of problems at author-time, so any help would be appreciated.
-1-
After installing the mxp file containing the component, when trying to drag the component from the Components panel to the stage, or to the Library panel, it doesn't work. There's no way to import the component!
-2-
If we open an existing FLA (created with Flash CS4), the component doesn't show correctly at author-time: you only get a black frame, instead of the expected result (it should show a white background with a logo in the middle). When compiling, everything works fine.
Any ideas? Thank you.

The described issues have been reported to Adobe, which was able to replicate and to fix them. Simply install the latest Flash update.
Thank you to the Flash development team.

Can't drag image onto stage in new layer, from the library?

For a text book assignment we have to make a new layer and then drag a image from the library panel onto the stage but it won't let me? The new layer doesn't look the same as the rest in the timeline panel too.

Hi,
Thank you for your advice, but sadly it isn't locked. I can drag an image onto a layer already there just not a new layer for some reason. I'm behind in class because of this issue but I'm at a loss. I know how to take a screen shot but how do I add it to here, I pasted it in microsoft word but it wouldn't allow me to upload it as a image...

I am unable to drag and drop music onto my nano 6th gen!

I am unable to drag and drop music onto my nano 6th gen that I downloaded into iTunes from 2 CDs that I purchased. Older songs will still copy! Oddly, I CAN drag and drop them onto my old video iPod!

Yes! It is set up for manual management because I have way more music than will fit on my nano so I am only putting my favorites on it! It's just odd that the music on the 2 new CDs I downloaded into iTunes will not copy over! When I drag my songs to the playlist I made on my nano it acts like it is copying because I get the number of songs icon and the + sign indicating that it is copying but then the playlist is empty. The nano will say for a couple seconds that it is synchronizing but in the end nothing has transferred! If I take an older song and drag it into the playlist it does copy! Seem like it has to do with the new CDs being compatible with nano? I would really appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Drag the component from one cell to another cell within JTable

Hi All,
I have one requirement to drag the component from JList to JTable cell. I am able to do it but once if i drag the component from list to table cell, table accepting the drop after this i am unable to move the same component from one cell to another cell within the table.
Any advice.
I have used the following logic for JTable and JList is drag enabled.
DefaultTableModel tableModel=new DefaultTableModel(
            new Object [][] {
                {null, null, null, null,null,null,null},
                {null, null, null, null,null,null,null},

        table.setDragEnabled(true);
        table.setDropMode(DropMode.INSERT);
        table.setTransferHandler(new TransferHandler(){
            public boolean canImport(TransferHandler.TransferSupport info){
                if (!info.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.stringFlavor)){
                    return false;

                    return false;
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    return false;
                calendarTableModel.setValueAt(data, row, col);
                return true;
        });Thanks & Regards,

Hi All,
I fixed this issue with some additional logic which allow me to drag and drop the string component from one cell to another cell within in the JTable.
I am attaching the new logic here, if any one needs use it.

Need to stop playback of an FLVPlayback component when navigate away from page!

I have an movieclip playing as auto start on the first page of my website. The component continues to play when I navigate away from the page. How can I stop the playback of the movie if it has not completed when navigation away from the page is invoked. I have search and am unable to find such an event using an FLVPlayback component. Presently there is no code in actionscript to display here.
thanks

Hi, this is the entire code that is placed on the timeline in frame 1 of the AS line. There is now an error and the FLVPlayer component, which is also begin in frame 1. At this point there is one method that I thought should work when the vTinesDayBtn is clicked. However, is not.
The error is:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at ewddSite_fla::MainTimeline/vTines()
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on ewddSite_fla::MainTimeline/stoppedVid(). Expected 0, got 1.
The code is:
stop();

import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
function stoppedVid() {
vidPlay.stop();

FLVPlayback component skinAutoHide problem

Hi guys!
I have a problem with FLVPlayback component's skinAutohide
property which works poorly when FLVPlayback component is the same
size as your stage. The skin only hides when I move my mouse very
slowly outside the FLVPlayback component.
Also making the FLVPlayback component smaller isn't an option
so what more options are there left?
Is there anyway to hide the skin by yourself?
I allready tried the following code, but I think this is very
unreliable (I get some errors when I move my mouse very quickly
over and outside the FLVPlayback component):
video.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, mouseLeaveHandler);
video.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,
mouseMoveHandler);
function mouseLeaveHandler(event:Event):void {
video.skin = "";
function mouseMoveHandler(event:Event):void {
video.skin = "SkinOverPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf";

I am having the exact same problem. Thanks for info that this
is caused by movie being the same size as the stage. I am also
working on a solution and will let you know if I find one.

FLVplayback component problem

my flash movie contains FLVPlayback component to play videos.
In the begining of the movie( frame 1) I have a simple pre-loader.
When I test my swf on a browser the pre-loader appear only after
few second, not immediately. (my pre-loader start from 40%). I
think the reason is that flash load the FLVPlayback component on
the first frame although my component appears only on the second
frame . Is there any work around this issue?
Thanks

I am having the exact same problem. Thanks for info that this
is caused by movie being the same size as the stage. I am also
working on a solution and will let you know if I find one.

Is Action Script for netStreaming and FLVPlayback component radically different, not interchangeabl?

Hi.
I am using NetConnection and NetStream to play back flv in Flash Pro CS5.5, and trying to add cue point to trigger events using Action Script, and to automatically rewind to the start at the end. There is no problem to trigger events via AS when the cue points are embedded, but i am unable to add cue points using AS.
When i use an FLVPlayback component, there is no problem to add cue points (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_UsingComponentsAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d1 18a9c65586-7feb.html) and to loop the playback using autoRewind (and fl.video.VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND which i got from Nafem at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/857036).
However, i am failing to use this same code w/a netConnection and netStream, and would appreciate any help.
thanks.

Hello,
Well, I've got some help from another helpful fellow at macscripter.net and I have a working script - albeit a bit more specific (ie, hardcoded extensions to look for) and a different approach.
Here's the script:
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving addedItems
repeat with movieFile in addedItems
set {Nm, Ex} to getName_andExtension(movieFile)
set movieFilePath to (thisFolder as text) & Nm & ".avi"
set subtitleFile to (thisFolder as text) & Nm & ".srt"
if Ex is ".srt" then
try
tell application "iFlicks"
import (movieFilePath as alias) with gui
end tell
end try
else if Ex is ".avi" then
if my FinderItemExists(subtitleFile) then
try
tell application "iFlicks"
import (movieFilePath as alias) with gui
end tell
end try
end if
end if
end repeat
end adding folder items to
on getName_andExtension(F)
set F to F as Unicode text
set {name:Nm, name extension:Ex} to info for file F without size
if Ex is missing value then set Ex to ""
if Ex is not "" then
set Nm to text 1 thru ((count Nm) - (count Ex) - 1) of Nm
set Ex to "." & Ex
end if
return {Nm, Ex}
end getName_andExtension
on FinderItemExists(thePath)
try
set thePath to thePath as alias
on error
return false
end try
return true
end FinderItemExists

Illustrator and InDesign Unable to drag objects

I have suddenly become unable to drag items in InDesign and Illustrator. I may mention at the same time my Photoshop is not working either. I solved these problems two weeks ago by uninstalling Adobe Creative Suite CS5, running adobe cloud cleanup tool, restarting the computer and then reinstalling the programs. However within the week the problem came back again and this solution is no longer working!
Any suggestions of what could be going wrong??! (im pretty desparate!)

I cannot drag an image, text, simple shapes etc. By drag, I mean select the object in order to move it. I am able to move it using the arrow keys or the "transform" window, but I cannot move it by selecting it with my mouse and dragging it.

Opening .mp4 files using flvplayback component 2.5 in Air 3.2

I've publishing the package using the extended desktop profile and captive runtime.
When I run the published .exe file from a hard disk (either on my local machine or other test machines) it works fine, so I know that I have my code at least partially correct.
I'm accessing the .mp4 files from a subdirectory of the applicationDirectory (eg: app:/video), the file names are read in from a .xml file.
Example structure:
exampleVideoSource = File.applicationDirectory.url+"video/12-16/attacking when in balance/counterattacking 2.mp4"
Is this likely to confuse the FLVplayback component, if so what's the best way to get a working path?
Thanks,
Dan

Discovered the issue.
For mounted drives you need to use the nativePath property.
For cross platform applications you can simply replace() the delimiter with the .separator property.
Also for some reason the skin wouldn't load, despite the fact that I had chosen it in the component selector.
I ended up setting the myFLVplayback.skin property just before I added the component to the stage.
On a related note, does anyone know if there's a difference between publishing an app with included folders, and simply publishing the app and adding the folders to the .app directory after the .app folder has been published?
Dan

FLVPlayback Component + HTML5

For a HTML5 Canvas project I'm in need to use imported FLV videos (green screen w/ alpha channel), with the goal to publish it highly compatible on the web. As the FLVPlayback Component is not supported in HTML5 projects, is there some possible workaround to achieve what I want with Adobe's software? If not, could I get briefed how this could be done with other programs/techniques?

While there have been 'workarounds' in the past, the answer is ultimately that codecs that support this are limited and unreliable. You'll need to use a <canvas> trick to really pull this off which involves separating your alpha channel into its own video, then using an invisible canvas to process the video based on the alpha channels (reading pixel by pixel to determine what opacity percentage to draw of every single pixel). Some people use a specific color in the video as the channel (for instance if you just needed red text, then use a different background color as the alpha). You then draw that to a visible canvas after calculated. It's very unideal but there's no "best way" to do this currently, outside Flash.
A quick search will show you the techniques I'm talking about but none of them are drag and drop approaches to the problem. They require JavaScript, proper types of video and a bunch of processing.

F4V video will autoplay in FLVPlayback component but won't appear w/autoplay "false"

I'm designing a Flash Form Application (using screens) for an interactive portfolio. One screen, labeled multimedia (video), has an FLVPlayback component that appears on "stage" once visitors click the "multimedia" text button. The screen appears fine and the video actually begins to play with the parameter to autoplay toggled to "true." However, as this is just one of many screens, I only want it to play when the screen loads or when the visitor clicks the play button. And please don't assume anything. I'm an amature with components.
I'm sure it's something small that I've missed. Has anyone else run into this or know why this happens or what I may've missed? Am grateful for any helpful assistance anyone offers.
Thanks.

Controlling the FLVplayback component Volume

Hi there,
I have a FLVPlayback component which I have modified to the
core.There is one problem with the volume slider. Im using Flash
Professional 8 with XP, and the skin Im using is
"steelExternalAll". Suppose I load some file into the contentPath,
it plays, and I drag the volume slider up (100%) and down(0%) for a
couple of time I get a bug. The bug is that when Im finally in the
down state, with 0% I still hear the sound which was in the
previous status, say 38 or 50%. And it happens in the reverse too.
Why is this happening? Can i resolve it?
I tried doing this using a fresh FLASH file, still the result
is the same. It happens once in a 10 times, but this surely is a
defect i need to handle. I dont think I have enough API's to do
something serious. Can anyone help me out?

Hi kglad,
Greetings. Felt so glad when I saw your reply saying that the
problem was with the skinning, because I did one hell of a
skinning. But I had a crosscheck. I tool a sample
"steelExternalAll" skin, just like it is in the component panel,
and just added a contentPath. Simple. I checked for the volume
slider problem, and there it was.
I can find the problem in the normal unmodified skin. This is
the same problem I face. Can this be solved. There is no other code
piece Im using other than the one given below.
Thanks a lot for your kind patience.
