Use space bar to play an FLV file

I have an external FLV file on frame 25 of my flash movie. I
would like to make it so the user has to press the space bar for
that FLV to play. Right now it plays automatically when we get to
frame 25. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Rich

How do I change to Actionscript 2.0? It won't let me enter
the code. If something is done in Actionscript 3 already, I am
guessing that I can't used 2.0. Then what should I do?
Thanks,

Anyone have Simple Code to Play an .Flv file on a Website?

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to make a web page play a .flv file.
Simple, basic code would do.
I have an .flv file uploaded on my website.
How do I get the Flash Player to play the file when someone visits the page?
Again, all I'm looking for is simple code.
Thanks,
Joe

add an flvplayback component to your swf. give it an instance name (say flv). then use:
flv.contentPath="yourflv.flv"; // for as2
flv.source="yourflv.flv"; // for as3

HT2490 Mac OS X 10.6.8 - Finder Preview of Quicktimes using Space Bar

I work with a lot of preview Quicktimes and for some reason all the files with a 320X240 aspect ratio are previewing (using space bar) with the wrong frame size (long skinny picture). Any other files with a different frame size are displaying normal.

Please refer to this:

My space bar starting "playing" again !!

I know some of you had the same issue as me-- The space bar would not play the project anymore. It would just un-check layers in the Project pane.
For some odd reason it started working again about two days ago.
Does anybody have any ideas why?
-marco

Hey, I know that it seems to be linked to a tab through fields feature. Same thing here. After making a parameter change I have to Click on the playhead then use the space bar to play otherwise it will toggle on/off layers.
Also around the same time for me the scrub through playhead feature also is GONE. I cannot use the arrow keys to scrub a frame at a time. what a pain. And as outlined in a recent post for me I cannot simply click from app to app when motion is open. I must use "command+ tab" to switch app which is also a huge pain.
Now Ill that said Im convinced its not just a motion thing as much as it is a leopard deal. Im staring to thinks its the driver for the slimline keyboards which came out a few leopard updates ago.

Standalone app (AIR?) for playing local FLV files

Can someone point me to a desktop app (Windows and Mac) that can play local FLV files?
Thanks!

I don't know about an AIR application but you could make any Flash video player you want to create into a stand-alone simply by publishing it as a "Projector" file. So create your own custom player and include your own branding in the design.
Or does this need to have a "browse to file" capability? Have never added that to a vid player so I'm not sure how that would work out.
But here is a simple little .flv video editor that I sometimes use to check out video files:
http://download.cnet.com/Moyea-FLV-Editor-Lite/3000-2168_4-10912717.html
It's a video editor, not just a player... but it's free, and allows you to open and play .flv files.... maybe a temp solution ??
Best wishes,

How to play a FLV file located in a second FMS?

How to play a FLV file located in a second FMS not directly accessible by the flash client?
- I am publishing an audio stream from the flash client to a FMS;
- This FMS then publishes the stream to a second FMS, which records the stream to a FLV;
How can I play in the client the FLV audio file that I recorded in the second FMS?
- The first FMS is accessible by the flash client, but the second FMS is only accessible by the first FMS.
thanks in advance

Play another flv file in between a flv file

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to play another flv file in between
a flv file. Say, I play flv A for 10 seconds then play flv B and
then resume back to flv A where it just stopped.
Is it possible to do this and roughly how to do it?
Thanks!

No it can't, you need SWF to load the file within.

Play local FLV files in AIR

Hello,
Here is another question regarding FLV files: I'm developing my AIR application using Dreamweaver. My app will need to play some local FLV files wich will be delivered together with the application (they are not online).
I'm using the built in feature of Dreamwever, wich creates a small SWF called "FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" when you insert an FLV in the page. If I preview the page in Firefox, everything works fine and the video is played, but if I preview it in AIR, there is just a blank box where the video should be.
All the files are in the site's root folder and are included in the "AIR application settings" (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf, Clear_Skin_2.swf, video.flv, index.html and application.xml).
I tryed importing the video in Flash (through progressive download) and then creating a small SWF wich would work only as a player but it didn't work either. The only way it worked was if I actually embedded the video in the SWF (so there is no external file), but then I have some audio synchronization problems and I loose quality...
So the problem seems to be that AIR doesn't allow the SWF file to access external files, even if they are in the same folder. Is this a bug or is there a workaroud?
Regards,
Manuel

Well, I just spent a few hour trying to make this work, and still nothing... but I think I know now what the problem is.
As you said, after putting an absolute path in (I used "C:\video.flv" for testing) it worked fine! So what I did was create a code that would get the absolute path to the video located in the app-storage folder. I came up with the following:
var flvFile = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("data/flv/video.flv");
var flvFilePath = flvFile.nativePath;
This code returns flvFilePath as "C:\Documents and Settings\Manuel\Application Data\Test.08196269638DC859464A7A09369FF97BAC18DD7A.1\Local Store\data\flv\video.flv".
I tried suplying this path to the player but it didn't work. So I inserted a new player in Dreamweaver using the path above and I got a message saying that the path can't have any spaces. This seems to be the cause of all my problems! I tried substituting the spaces with "%20" but it didn't work either.
Do you have any ideas?

Using AMP to download and save FLV files from web sites?

I thought I had heard months ago that this new media player was going to allow you to download and save the FLV files from web sites like YouTube and others, where a direct download while possible, isn't the easiest thing to currently do. But I don't really see any way in this new media player to download and save files from web sites....it's plenty willing to play them if they're already saved on your hard drive, but I thought one of the reasons for Adobe building this was to make it easier to get them in the first place?

I'd have to agree. This is one of the most useless products I have seen from a company of this standard. Why they continue to provide this product as an example of what can be done with AIR, is bewildering. Myself and others have posted over and over again that the player deletes the saved movies at some random time, an hour or two hours after they appear to be saved.
What is the point of having a 'saved' icon the CD ICON if that movie will be deleted FOR NO BLOODY reason. I just wasted 400 mb of my quota dowloading moves 3 times...!! just to realise that the application deletes them from the VERY CACHE that it copies them to.
Adobe, if this is what I can expect while trying to view the tutorials for FLEX what will the development experience be like. Myself and others are fed up with posting this bug to Adobe, just to be ignored. How much stress to do you want on your servers before you WAKE UP.
I have been in 4 meetings over the last 2 weeks and everyone has remarked about the 'experience' trying to view these tutorials.
Wake up to yourself. If you want to charge $500 for FLEX then atleast fix this crappy player.
PS. I note that this player is supposedly built with Flex and that the list control truncates rather than wraps, in addition, no 'tool tips', dates are not localised, the video keeps unpausing itself each time I return from the downloads page, no settings for where files should be cached. Occasionally the underlining (grey) window bar appears over the top of the flash window edge. I've used the application for an hour or so...
Where is the alternative... I'll be glad when Adobe get some real competition.. so that they pay attention to input. A big wastefull site if all support does is read and ignore posts.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playing a FLV file on the browser

Hello,
I've made and extensive research on the forum about this one but couldnt resolve it here, so i've came up with my own case.
I can only make a swf video to work on a DW page using the insert/media procedure. The flv file shows as a blank window not even the player is showing.
Here is a testing version of the page: http://www.bedeco.ma/TCL.php
The script folder (swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf) as well as the flv file itself, the skin file and the flvplayer progressive file are all there in the root directory at exactely the same level as the testing page.
I've also checked that there is no space whatsoever in the files names...also the flv file is tested successfly using Adobe media player.
the swf file is working but loops endelessely so i want to add controls for the user ..and obviousely the flv format is the way to go.
Help please.

I apologize if u can not load the page, its a hosting company issue, their server goes up and down randomnly so please to retry 15mn later, it will be available. Thanks.

I want to always be able to page down using space bar, but some web pages seem to disable this.

I often use the space bar to page down in web pages rather than scrolling with the mouse or arrow keys, but in the last few months I've encountered a number of pages that don't seem to allow this browser feature to work. For instance, space bar doesn't page down on https://medium.com/about-work/65d4740f7a2f, although it works fine on mozilla.org and nearly all other sites. The problem is specific to particular pages, so I think it's unlikely to be an add-on problem, and it's certainly not that I've turned on caret browsing. As far as I've tested, the arrow keys still work to scroll such pages, and the mouse always works, so it seems as if space bar has been specifically disabled. (Generally the pages on which space doesn't work seem to be specialized for phones, judging by layout and font size.) Is it possible to reject whatever code is disabling my browser so that my space bar always works?

Another possibility would be a userscript. A userscript is generally written to work on a particular site, although it also can be made to work globally on all pages.
To run a userscript, you require either the Greasemonkey extension or the Scriptish extension.
And somebody to write the script! You can propose a new userscript to the community and see whether anyone is willing to create it for you.
Ideas and Script Requests forum: http://userscripts.org/forums/2
(I searched briefly on userscripts.org but didn't see a script for this purpose posted there. Please be careful in testing scripts from the site as many recently posted scripts mess with your Facebook account when you visit FB.)

Playing a FLV-File in a projector.exe from a network shared folder failes

We want to load and play FLV-Files while our project files
(Projector.exe) and FLV-files are sitting on a network shared
folder with UNC-Path access (\\FILESERVER\sharename\). The problem
is, that the flv-files do not play. If the same application runs on
a local system it works fine. The System.security.sandboxType is
"localTrusted" because it runs in a projector.
We do not want to map the shared folder to a drive letter!
Thank you

How do I play an .flv file ?

I got an email with a .flv attachment. I understand this is a flash file. What do I need to do to play this file?
Windows XP 32 bit
Your site check says I have flash version 10.1.53.64
I never explicitly installed flash, I understand it came bundled with my Chrome browser.
The little twirling thing played ok on your site so I think the software is ok, I just don't know how to invoke it to play the file in my email
Ed

You have to install Flash Professional to get the"stand alone" Flash Player. It's a testing component for projects without having to open them in a browser/webpage.
As far as "invoking" an flv. You'd do it like any other media file. "Double click". If Windows then asks you to choose a program to open it with (assuming you downloaded VLC Player), choose VLC as the default for flv files and it will open, your flv will play.
I have about 1500 flv files downloaded from YouTube and hundreds of other news and tube sites. They play just like AVI or MPEG files in VLC.

Using Captivate to import .mp4 or .flv files

I am looking for someone with Captivate experience to let me
know if Captivate can turn my mp4 and flv files into scorm
compliant objects. Seems like I could import it and export it and
be ready to go. Is this the case?

Hi again
Indeed Captivate is often used to capture screen activity.
But within Captivate 3 one may click Insert > Flash Video... and
point at a .FLV file to link to and present.
The FLV will normally require metadata. You might find the
link below to be of value.

Pause video using space bar

I think it is captiv8er that created this tool - the swf that can pause playback via the space bar. (Sorry to the creator if it is not you captiv8er).
My question is - Any chance of changing this - to say a
Ctrl + M
I guess what would be perfect is, if you could put your own keyboard shortcut - but I do not know how this feature was built. Therefore I am going to be a little cheaky and ask, could you (the creator) create this swf but change the shortcut to Ctrl + M.

Hi there
Nope, not me! I believe my fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst created the gizmo you are referring to. (I have to call them gizmos now because I used to call them widgets. Then Adobe decided to create Widgets for Captivate.)
Cheers and happy Thursday! Rick
