Using Flash Vars to customize a video player

I am trying to code a video player that detects if a video
has sound - and if so, attach the volume controls... if not - hide
them. I am able to set what volume I want the video to start at :
so.addVariable("videoVolume", "50");
but I don't know how to tell if the video has sound or not.
Any help would be great.

You can use swf inside of another swf.
If you are using Actionscript2 then learn about LoadMovie
And for AS3 it is Loader.

  • When using Flash plugin in Fullscreen the video starts pausing occasionally for a second. OK when not in Fullscreen and works fine in Fullscreen with other Browsers.

    I have recently upgraded to 10.0 and whenn using Flash Player in Fullscreen it behaves badly. Starts pausing frequently for aroun a second. It's annoying. When I escape fullscreen and run it within the Browser panel it's fine.. Other Browsers work fine in Full Screen Mode. Tried it with IE and Google Chrome. Firefox is my default Browser so my preferred option.

    I have never heard of such a thing, but the first thing I would try is to disabled Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings).

  • Using Flash in UI customization

    Has anybody use flash with during UI development, such as for navigation and header or footers. Thanks you in advance.

    Thanks, Mike.  With just flash, they say you can pass numbers, arrays, strings, etc.  I did try using "this" in the code, but I got an error stating argument mismatch and an implicit coercion error.  My this referred to the main timeline, while Adobe's sample referred to a scene.  Might have to look into this more, but their code looked pretty simple, so not really sure why it didn't work like Adobe's sample script.

  • Using 160Gb iPod classic as portable video player to play 1080i movies

    Hi, I have a 160gb iPod Classic. I use it to store and transport my DVD movies so that I can play them back on the car or on trips when we are away by connecting the ipod to a TV. I noticed that when using Handbrake, it converts the video to 496x208 (or thereabouts based on the source).
    My question is, can the ipod store and replay (via a TV component connection) 1080i movies?
    Thanks,
    Fernando

    No. see the movie spec on http://support.apple.com/kb/SP572.

  • Video Player Component using Flash Player 6

    I'm streaming video using Flash Player 6. The problem I am
    having is that the video will only play at a super small size,
    something like 180 x 60 (that's a guess). Is there a way to play
    the video at the 320 width that I redered it as?
    I'm using Flash Player 6 because some code that came with my
    purchased Flash Template does not work unless it's published to
    Flash Plaey 6.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Melissa,
    I might not be understanding the question right, but if you
    are using Flash
    Player 6, and the Flash Player 6 video player component, you
    can resize the
    video by resizing the component on the stage (just drag and
    make it larger).
    Let me know if that works for you.

  • Video Pixelation occurs while recording the video using flash player

    Hello,
    I am recording the video using flash player 9 ( using the
    flash media server 2.0 on the back end). Everything used to work
    fine in the past. The quality of the flv video was good. Now
    suddently, I have started seeing the pixelation in the recorded
    video (very poor video quality). Nothing has been changed in the
    code. However on the server side, I am not very sure if there is
    any windows update has taken place and have caused the problem with
    the codec on server.
    However my understanding is that when we record the video
    then flash player use its own codec not the flash media server.
    Can any one help me on how I can get rid of pixelation
    issues?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best Regards
    Pradeep

  • Black Screen when trying to view videos that use Flash Player

    Hi all,
    Sometimes when I'm trying to view videos on Youtube or BBC iPlayer, which use Flash Player, I'll click play and after around 2-3seconds of the video playing, my screen will go black/dark blue and the audio will stop. I'm then forced to hard reset my computer as no keyboard shortcuts work. This is starting to annoy me. Any help would be appreciated.
    I have the latest Catalyst, 12.1, the latest Chipset and BIOS. I have even tried re-installing Windows to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling Adobe Flash Player using your official uninstaller and then re-installing and yet I still get this problem.
    System Specs;
    AMD-FX 4100 Quad Core Processor @ 3.6GHz
    8GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM

    Your video card should be fine for GPU acceleration, but to rule this out can you try disabling hardware acceleration to see if that helps?
    How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
    If this works, please open up a new bug report so we can take a further look.  Here's a page that describes what we'll need.

    There's a good chance that this is a known issue.  We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

  • Videos won't play until fully loaded when using Flash Player

    Hello,
    When I try to play videos using flash player, it usually takes a very long time for them to start playing, because they do not start until the entire video is loaded. However, disabling flash player and using something like Quicktime allows me to start watching a video once enough of it has buffered.
    I'm currently using Windows 7 x64, and it happens across browses (Firefox, Chrome, IE). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the latest version of Flash player several times, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    How video is played is determined from the content/server, not flash player itself.  Are you seeing this happen with YouTube?

  • Adobe flash player uses 250% of my cpu playing videos...how is that possible?

    Adobe flash player uses 250% of my cpu playing videos...how is that possible?

    That is totally possible if you do not have Flash set to
    enable hardware accelerations.  Right click on a playing
    Flash video and select settings from the pop up.
    Click the little monitor icon at the bottom left corner.
    Check the check box "Enable hardware acceleration."
    With out this set, the CPU does all the work of decoding the
    video instead of the video card.
    update:
    As a quick check, went to Hulu and started an episode of
    Warehouse 13.  With hardware acceleration enabled, CPU
    was at 37% for Flash.  With hardware acceleration disabled,
    this jumped up to 138%.
    The test was done on a 2011 Mac Mini Server 2.0 GHz, quad core i7.

  • What kind of Flash Player can i download for Firefox.? What kind of video player can I use to stream videos.

    Flash player for streaming? Best video player.

    Hello,
    Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
    As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
    Hope that helps
