Using skin from mediaplayback component on flvplayback component ?

Hi.
Is it possible to use the skin from the mediaplayback
component on the flvplayback component ?
(I've been checking online for this but can't find answer
anywhere.)
I want to use the flvplayback so as I can keep the movie
controls within the area of my flv movie.
The flvplayback is too large with the boarders and the fact
that the progress/control bar is placed outside of the movie area.
Any advice would be great. Thanks. Joey

Using skin from adf library

Hi all,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.
Is there a way to use different skins in imported application as adf lib from main application?
For example, when I go to views from main application it will use its own skin, but when I go to views from imported adf library I want it to use skin imported with adf lib.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
at runtime you can switch easily. At design time you need to have the skin in the project to show it in JDeveloper. Here skins in ADF library don't work

RH9 - Can't import used skin

Hello,
I created my own WebHelp-skin. From one day to another, there are no skins listed in my "skins" folder (not even "default"). when i try to import the (correctly) used skin from the !SkinSubFolder! RH sais: "This Skin-Name already exists in this project." That would be no problem, because the skin is used correctly. but i have to make some changes at my used skin and can't open the skin-editor, because the skin is not listed
What can I do? I'm using the German Version of RH9 (V9.0.1.232).

Hi,
There's three thinks I can come up with:
Rename the CPD and reopen the project. Are the skins back?
What happens if you cut the skins from the skin subfolder to another directory and import the skins from there?
In RH8 I'd modify the rhskins.apj file in notepad. (It should work the same in RH9). The APJ is just an XML file holding links to the available skins in the project. The structure has to be as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rhpml majorversion="3" minorversion="0">
    <skins>
        <skin>
            <filename>!SkinSubFolder!\XP_Blue\XP_Blue.skn</filename>
        </skin>
        <skin>
            <filename>!SkinSubFolder!\Default\Default.skn</filename>
        </skin>
    </skins>
</rhpml>
Just add the links to the skins you need in the project. (You may need to delete the CPD before you see the changes reflected in your project.

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?

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

FLVPlayback Component video and skin as one swf

Is it possible when publishing a Flash CS4 file to have the Video swf and the Skin swf be in one swf file?
I have a Flash CS4 (AS2) file that has a FLVPlayback Component. When I publish or test movie 2 swfs are output. I need only 1 swf as I am then going to insert this 1 swf into a Captivate 4 project.
When I insert the video swf by itself into Captivate 4, I do not have a play bar/skin.
If it is not possible to publish as one swf, can someone please tell me how I can insert the 2 swfs into a Captivate file and get them to work?
Thanks in advance.

My project is called JumpVideo.
The only 2 items in my library are the FLVPlaybackComponent and a Combo box.
I have imported a video using the FLVPlaybackComponent and have selected the SteelExternalPlaySeekMute skin to go with the playback.
The video has defined cue points. The combo box has two values. When the first is selected it jumps to the start of the video. When the second is selected it jumps to the cue point.
When I publish there are two swfs that are produced; the project swf itself (JumpVideo.swf) and the skin (SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf).
I would like there to be only one swf published (i.e. the skin is within the JumpVideo.swf).
Is this possible?
The swfs will then need to be inserted into Captivate 4 as animation.
If 1 swf cannot be published, then can you perhaps help with how I can insert the JumpVideo.swf and the skin swf into Captivate and have it work as it does in Flash CS4?

Styling / Skinning the MediaPlayback Component

I've been trying to change the colors on the darn
MediaPlayback Component for months!!! I've read so many tutorials
on skinning, styling, etc... but I can't get these stupid colors to
change. I've managed to style other components using code, using
themes, etc... but this component won't budge!
Can someone point me to a method that 100% works? I'm not
looking to change button shapes, only the colors.. specifically the
green. If code works for this, I am comfortable with code.
Anything!
I'm using Flash 8 Professional.

How to play recorded videos using FLVPlayback component?

Hey Guys,
     I recorded videos using fms and i want to play them using FLVPlayback component. I've done some research but i cant find something
useful, I tried this code :
     flvplayback.source = "rtmp://localhost/appname/instancename/video";
     this code is not working. Am i doing it wrong or something? Can anyone please point me on the right direction!
    Thanks in advance!
Randy

You may like to use this tutorial for your purpose:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Beginner's_Guide_to_Adobe_Flash/Video/Using_The_FLVPlayback_C omponent
Here, in the content path you need to put your URL, also make sure that the instance name exist and provide the FLV extension in the url.
Hope that will help you.

Embedded flvPlayBack component missing controls

I have a flvPlayback component in this url as you can see the controls are at the bottom so you can pause/play, adjust volune, etc.
I've embedded the first url in a post at this site everything works fine there except the control bar is missing. Any ideas?

That's odd I don't get an error message and I have the debug version of Flash player. Anyway I removed the skin from the wordpress site because the video would just go black when it was present. I think I'll just uploas everything to the WP site. OR maybe if I recode the the embedded swf so it uses an absolute address for the skin that would work.

Remove sound in FLVplayback component?

How do you remove the sound from "specifically" from FLVplayback component? Since the sound wont stop playing when I'm on different page(assume that if the person didnt click the pause button and navigate to other pages)....Normally I would add SoundMixer.stopAll(); for every button in my main and loaded swf but this will stop my background music as well....
The flvplayback component is located in another swf file and the code was added on the second frame of the movieclip call "scrollGroup"
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import flash.events.Event;
var flvPlayback:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
flvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
flvPlayback.autoPlay = false;
flvPlayback.source = "video/Listening_to_Community_Voices.f4v";
flvPlayback.skin = "MinimaFlatCustomColorPlayBackSeekCounterVolMuteFull.swf";
flvPlayback.x = 31;
flvPlayback.y = 123.8;
addChild(flvPlayback);

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

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.

Switching between FLVPlayback component at their playheadTime

Hi There,
I hope someone can save me with this.
I am currently on a project (AS3), where I have 2 frames, with videos (using the FLVPlayback component).
and I want to switch from one video to the next video, however the catch is when i switch to the next video I want the new video to play at the previous video time.
example:
Video 1 plays, 10 sec later, you click a button to go and see the next video (in another frame) and that new Video starts 10 sec into it.
This is the codes I been using so far:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
video1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE, timer);
function timer(e:VideoEvent):void {
    var newTime = video1.playheadTime;
nextFrame_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, nextFrame);
function nextFrame (MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndStop(2);
      video2.playheadTime = newTime;
This doesn't work and I do not know what I am doing wrong.
many thanks if you can help.

yes there is another layer with codes but that is for the buttons.. that can work throughout the flash (in all frames). Sorry I forgot about that. Those buttons are just basic home, end buttons. In the other layer is the switch code for the button I am trying to make.
This button/code for some reason does not like being in the main code layer. So I added it in another layer, which seem to make it work. (The part where I want it to gotoAndStop in another frame.)
var newTime:int;
switch_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, switch1);
function switch1 (MouseEvent):void // Function to turn on 3D mode
                    newTime = video1.playheadTime;
                    this.addEventListener(Event.RENDER,renderF);
trace("stage:",stage);
                    stage.invalidate();     <= that use to be line 15 before the trace was added.
        gotoAndStop(2);
                    trace (newTime);
function renderF(e:Event):void{
video1.seek(newTime);
the other layer has this code:
cha1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, cha1);
chan2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, chan2);
function cha1 (MouseEvent):void
          gotoAndStop(10);
function chan2 (MouseEvent):void
          gotoAndStop(11);
They are on seperate layers because the switch function is used in all the frames, but to gotoAndStop in different frames.
aka this one: is in frame 10, which goes to frame 2
and there will be another one in frame 2 to go to frame 10.
then there is another in frame 11, which goes to frame 3
and then the same for frame 3 to goto frame 11.
so thats why there were in seperate layers, to be able to change that. (sorry if this is getting confusing)

How to recognize FLVPlayback Component

Publish to Flash 8 and using the FLVPlayback component as part of a larger elearning course.
We have a legacy pause button that works by recursively looking through every item on stage and if the item is a movieclip following its children and so on. Something like this (there is more to the whole thing, but this is where the problem is):
findCurrent = function (obj)
// RECURSIVE SEARCH FOR MOVIECLIPS
for (var i in obj) {
if (typeof (obj[i]) == "movieclip" && obj[i] != obj) {
   if (obj[i]._name == "pauser"{
    continue;
   var m = obj[i];
   m.frameWas = m._currentFrame;
   isCurrent.push(m);
   findCurrent(m);
The issue is that when using the FLVPlayback component the 256 recursions limit is reached. I'm guessing that the video part contains a reference to playback controls skin and the playback controls skin contains a reference to the video part and the recursion just goes round and round till it hits the limit and then all actionscript is disabled for the rest of the file.
I thought of adding a counter, and that is probabaly a good idea, but I was wondering if there is anyway to identify that I've hit a video player and stop following it?
Obviously the topeof(myVideoPlayer) is coming back as "movieclip" or I wouldn't be getting this problem. I don't think there is a getQualifiedName for AS2, right? I looked at the properties and couldn't find one that said, "clearlyVideoPlayer."
So does anybody else have any suggestions?

if you don't have other components/movieclips (that use boundingBox_mc):
findCurrent = function (obj) {
    // RECURSIVE SEARCH FOR MOVIECLIPS
    for (var i in obj) {
        if (typeof (obj[i]) == "movieclip" && obj[i]._parent==obj) {
            if(i=="boundingBox_mc"){
                findPauseF(obj);
                abortSearch=true;
            if(!abortSearch){
                findCurrent(obj[i]);
function findPauseF(flv:MovieClip){
    // do whatever with flv
