Using default CS5 skin, play/pause & stop buttons disabled until going fullscreen

We are using default CS5 skins with an flvplayback component built through action script 3. When playing certain videos (and only certain videos, however there isn't yet a pattern), the play/pause, stop & seek buttons are completely unresponsive. They don't change stats on hover & they are unclickable.
However, the fullscreen button does always work, and upon going fullscreen and coming back out, the buttons now work again.
I really have no idea what is going on here, it seems rather random. So far, the problem was seemingly at its worst displaying a video that was encoded with Sorenson spark (an older codec) and we wondered if it had to do with the file itself, the headers, anything of that sort. But the fact that the skin and buttons work fine once entering and exiting fullscreen - that is perplexing.

Just an update, but the following line:
my_FLVPlybk.scaleMode = "noScale";
Has something to do with the issue. When we include this line (which tells the player to resize to the size of the given FLV), we get the problem with the buttons not working. If we take the line out, we do not see that problem.

Is it possible to change the link to the WMP of the Play/Pause/Stop buttons

Is it possible to change the link to the WMP of the Play/Pause and Stop Button?
Because by software only the Network and Media Buttons are changable.
And I don't prefer WMP to be my favorite media player.

I used to have this problem too. When pressing +play/pause+ button on my +Satellite+ always wmp start. I used RM-X media to configure media keys, or Global Hotkeys in Winamp to solve this problem, but in case of +play/pause+ it was still the same. I found simple solution how to use this key in Winamp - assaying Winamp as default media player in Control panel/Add remove programs. And then in specific application edit file associations.

Playing, Pausing, Stopping Audio in a Timeline

I don't use Flash that much so the question may sound simple, but how do I pause audio in a timeline? I have added the audio, play and stop button. When I test it works fine, but I can't figure out how to add the pause button, or the play/pause button.
Thanks.

Set the audio options on "stream" for the timeline. Then - a blank keyframe would do just fine. When you need the audio on, put it again and adjust the start point in the properties panel.

Play/Pause/Power button toast. Warranty expires soon.

Over the past couple months the play/pause/power button has been getting more and more hard to use. my warranty is up in about a week and im sure the warranty would not cover this. i don't press the button hard at all. it just started a couple months ago if that.
what do i do?

How best to handle a start button and a play-pause toggle button?

Hello,
Still new to AS3, on a project for a client. I'd appreciate advice on how best to handle the navigation for 5 movieclips set inside 5 separate frames on the main timeline. I have a play button on frame 1 to start the animation, but I'd like to include a play/pause toggle button on the other frames to finish the navigation. Everything works except the toggle button, when clicked, does toggle but does not stop the animation. I've copied the code, including the toggle button code on frame 4 below. How best to handle both a start button and a play-pause toggle button?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Frame 1:
PlayBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
stop();
PlayBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startMovie);
function startMovie(event:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
Frame 2:
stop();
Frame 3:
stop();
Frame 4:
RewindBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
RewindBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rewind);
function rewind(e:MouseEvent) {
prevFrame();
FFBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
FFBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,forward);
function forward(e:MouseEvent) {
nextFrame();
ToggleBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
ToggleBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
function doToggle(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
ToggleBtn_mc.play();
Frame 5:
(Loops back to Frame 1)

I can't tell you how appreciative I am of all your assistance.
Could you double-check on this, I may have stumbled upon somthing- I tweaked your last code, which toggled, but didn't seem to call the scene_test_mc into action.
But I copied below what both toggles the play/pause button and calls the mc into action. Could you verify this as reliable code and not a fluke that will break? Thank you so much! :
ToggleBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
ToggleBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
scene_test_mc.buttonMode=true;
scene_test_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
function doToggle(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
var mc:MovieClip=MovieClip(myevent.currentTarget);
if(mc.currentFrame==1){
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
scene_test_mc.play();
} else {
mc.gotoAndStop(1);
scene_test_mc.stop();

Play pause toggle button

Hi,
I'm new to Flash. Kindly help anyone.
Need assistance to create toggle button. Here attaced two screenshots.
1. inner-animation.jpg - it contains all movie clips and play pasue controls.
2.main-animation.jpg - this is the main timeline ( inside all movie clips & control buttons)
3.playbuton-inside.jpg - its a button symbol ( as well as pause )
4. There also bg music and sounds for some particular animation.
Here all working fine. But i need play & pause animation as a toggle button.
Here is the code i added for pause:
play();
pause_btn.onRelease=function(){
stop();
Here is the code i added for pause:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease=function (){
play();

You are using AS2 code, so you should be posting in the AS2 forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript?view=discussions). If the intention is to use AS3 code, then you need to change things.
If the intention is to use the same single button for both pause and play, then what you normally would do is establish a boolean variable that you se to determine whether the clicking of the button should play or stop the movie...
var playMovie:Boolean = true; // assumes the movie is stopped at the start
pause_play_btn.onRelease = function (){
   if(playMovie){
       play();
       // manage play/pause btn
   } else {
       stop();
       // manage play/pause btn
   playMovie = !playMovie; // reverse the value of the playMovie variable
In that code where I show "// manage play/pause btn" is where you need to do whatever you need to make the pause/play button appear as intended... either hiding one or the other, or changing its frames to show the appropriate image.

Hi Ned!

stop();
btns.visible = true;

dfr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onEls);
dfr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onEld);
btns.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onEls);

    if(_vrSts)    {
        //trace('status:'+_vrSts);
        _vrSts = 0;
        //btns.label = "Play";
        btns.gotoAndPlay(1);
        btns.visible = false;
        //if(currentFrame == 445)

New Aluminium Keyboard Vol/play/pause etc buttons wont work

Hello everyone, thank you for your time.
I'm screaming at my new keyboard, I bought another Apple Aluminium Wireless keyboard to replace my previous one from 2007 that essentially went nuts after the last update.....I couldnt use the up and down arrows, the shift key would "hold itself down" etc.
This new one wont let me use its play/pause, volume mute, down, and up etc buttons....I've remapped several Expose functions and Dashboard to work right, but you cant do anything for the audio control buttons....?
This is too much for me, I'm very angry at this odd problem. It seems SO simple, it should just work like my previous keyboard did....
I cant handle not having control of my iTunes music.... I could keep BOTH my Apple keyboards on and use one for play pause etc, and the other for everything else.....
I have a hint for what the problem might be, it seems this keyboard shows up as the "old" "fat white and clear plastic wireless keyboard", perhaps that keyboard didnt have the same functions as the Aluminium? When it disconnects from my Mac for example, I dont get correct "aluminium keyboard connection lost" side on icon, I get one of the larger older plastic keyboard....
I think this is the problem, that this keyboard identifies as the very old plastic model.....
Im going nuts over this very simple function of a keyboard....my last keyboard blew up after the update....ok, so I have to shell out another $120 NZD for a new keyboard...ok....I'm an Apple fan, I'll choke on my pride, and when it finally arrives, from Australia....it wont control iTunes like I do several times a day....
Can anyone help me? I tried using the firmware updates but it seems like it didnt even identify the keyboard...it showed nothing in the detection box....the keyboard was paired, probably showing up as another model of keyboard.....
Very annoying!
Thank you very much for your help. I hope you have a great day.

alright its not doing it anymore after a restart. I think it was from plugging in a Logitech wireless mouse keyboard combo but i didn't use the keyboard so i didnt calibrate it. Sorry for the useless post.

Play/pause mouse button no longer works since update?

I have a mouse with several buttons, one of which I customized to be "Play/Pause". This was great for iTunes -- if I was in Firefox or something, I could click it and immediately play/pause the song.
However, with the new version of iTunes, this button no longer works, neither outside of iTunes nor inside. The button still works with other programs that it used to (eg, VLC), so it's specific to iTunes.
My hopes aren't high, but is there any chance of solving this?

Using REW/Play/Pause/FF buttons in VLC Possible?

Hello, just wondering if there's a way to make the new control buttons on the Air work in VLC like they do in QT/iTunes et al.?
Thanks in advance!

According to VLC Devs, this is currently not possible, but MAY be added into 0.9 if the keycodes for the Air's multimedia buttons can be decoded.

Perhaps there is something in this article that might help:
[Some of the keys on my keyboard don't work|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300547]
If there is no soulution in the article, try the genius bar if it's under warranty or an authorized repair location can probably give you a quote if it's not. You could even try an external keyboard.
Good luck.

Button disabled until file upload is valid...

elo. I have this application which uses a File Upload component. I can successfully upload the needed file.
My application (part of it concerned) has a File Upload component and another button ("Submit"). The file upload works fine. The problem is, if i want to upload that file (meaning, copied to the hard disk) i have to press the "Submit" button, which is initially disabled. It can only be enabled if the File Upload's file is valid. If the file upload is cancelled, the "Submit" button should still be disabled. If the user selects a file, the "Submit" button should be enabled, so that the user can successfully upload the file.
Help me with this please... Thanx.

My suggestion is to use JavaScript for dynamically disabling and enabling the button based on "onClick" and "onBlur" javascript attributes of the FileUpload component.
To get info about what kind of javascript used for FileUpload component
- Go to the Projects tab
- Explore the Libraries node and open Default Theme - defaulttheme.jar
- Drill down to com.sun.rave.web.ui.defaultheme.javascript and dowuble click on formElements.js
- Search for upload functions
You should see the functions related to File Upload near
