Video object and _level (AS2)

Using "VideoJukebox.fla" and "VideoJukebox.as" I want to add
other graphic element on top of the video. In AS2 I'd assign
_level. How is that done in AS3?

// got it. changed

SMIL File / Flash Video Object / Netstream

Hi all!
I have build a streaming video player bassed on the flash Video Object and netstream. The company that provides the streaming have now gone over to Dynamic Streaming and uses SMIL files. Usually this is not a problem if i had used a FLVPlayback component, But now that my player is a Video Object i just can't get it to work.
I don't want to rebuild the entire player based on FLVPlayback component since the current play have many functions.
Have anyone built a Dynamic player based on Video object? Anyone that can help me with this?
Oh yeay. I use AS2 I know i'm going over to AS3 but this player in built in as2
Looking forward to see how this can be solved

Hi,
I don't think there is a direct way of using SMIL files with Video Object like it can be used with FLVPlayback component.
Also its much easier to accomplish dynamic streaming using AS3 than AS2.
With the current AS2 implementation you might have to parse the contents of smil file store the details of different bitrate media available in the FMS app.
Some amount of coding would be needed to leverage the QoS metrics which can be accessed from NetStream object when Flash Player 10 is used. And then based on what the metrics indicate pick an appropriate bitrate file to switch to.
This article mentions how to use AS2 for dynamic streaming : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_actionscript.html
Hoping to see if anyone else have tried to do it already so that it may prove helpful to you.
In case you are looking to port your video player to AS3 , here are some useful links:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_advanced_pt1.html
Now there is also an Open Source Media Framework which you can leverage to build media players easily.

HTML/Javascript positioning air.Video object

Hi all,
Simple question which has been doing my head in all weekend!
I have got a simple application that programmatically creates an Air Video object and attaches it to a camera as per
this.video = new air.Video( 320, 240 );
this.video.attachCamera( air.Camera.getCamera() );
I then want to embed that Video object into a specific location on the page (in the DOM). If I use the stage and addChild it just plonks it over the top of anything that's there already. Doing getElementById('container').innerHTML = this.video or similar does not work.
I very much think I am missing something fundamental here but no amount of googling seems to be able to find similar examples to what I am trying to do. All the examples I can find use statically defined HTML<object> tags with fixed urls.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Phil

Check the Security.sandboxType value in the embedded SWF. It should be "localTrusted", in which case you should be able to access both local and remote resources.
There is a bug in AIR in resolving relative file paths in this scenario, that you might be running into. What happens is that Flash Player asks its container to resolve a relative file path. Normally, the container is a browser and returns the resolved path using a common URL scheme that Flash Player understands. However, AIR regards the SWF as being in the application sandbox and returns the resolved path with the app: URL scheme. Flash Player (which is acting just like the plug-in even in an AIR app), doesn't understand the app: scheme, so it doesn't know how to find the file. A workaround is to use absolute paths, which would probably require your JavaScript code to pass the absolute base path to the video player.
As to positioning the Video player, this would require creating a div (or other page element) of the same size as the video and tracking the position of this element on the page. Whenever the position changes, you move the video on the stage (by resetting the video x and y properties). I don't know how much lag in positioning you would run into when the user scrolls the page, especially if the video was playing...
A third option, of course, is to rethink the UI so that you have separate display areas for the HTML and the video.

Cp6 TOC - video size and image border

Hi,
There seems to be a number of changes to the TOC in cp6 32 bit. Can anyone confirm whether they are having the same issues ?
a/ The video space size is now 4 pixels narrower. It was 196 by 144
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/830658
and it now appears to be 192 * 144 according to the help. . We want to know whether this is right as it means we have re-encode videos.
b/ images now have a border when placed in the TOC. We have a logo with a white background on a white stage so it stand out. There doesn't seem to be an option to turn borders off

Hi,
The video space size and the border has definitely in 5.5 was also 196.
Can you confirm the height as well
Could you advise the border on the images in TOC information as this makes adobae captivate causes look poor as Borderless images are the norm in graphic design.
1. video size
The published size is 192 in 5.5 and 6
It used to squash it in 5.5, but it now gives an error message and then squashes it
In 5.5 in section non interactive objects and media - > using slide video -> best practices to use slide video effectively it is listed as
"Video dimensions:
Ensure that the video object dimension is the same as that of the original video for optimal quality.
Do not change the aspect ratio of the video even if you cannot maintain equal dimensions for the video object and original video. Otherwise, the video loses quality.
Keep the dimensions of a video that you want to include in the TOC as: Height 144 and Width 196."
In 6 you get an error message saying it should be 192 * 144
This blog also gives the same number

AS2 CS3: Video Player Class w/ NetStream Video Object

is it possible to use the properties of the videoPlayer class
with a video object that is not wrapped in a flvplayBack component.
I am having trouble using the maintainAspectRatio property with my
current video object. Additional question, If you use a flvPlayBack
component are you forced to use a skin for the controller or can
you use a controller that was built in the swf of the video
object?

Video Demo- Changing layers of objects and PiP???

Hey, I've recorded a video demo and I want to put an image at the end of it and ontop of that have 3 PiP videos playing ontop of the image. The problem is that the image is in front of the PiP and I can't drag the bars in the timeline around to put the PiP in front of the image. Effectively they seem locked on their layers. Is this a design flaw with Video Demo? If so this is a God Awful design when you can do the same thing with Premier Pro but it is far less accurate and a pain. I need to put these PiP in exactly the right spot for hundreds of videos.
Hopefully one of you brain boxs will know what I'm doing wrong and it isn't a design flaw!
Thank you for reading!
David.

I see that I can put the picture into the background and work it that way but oh no wait, no I can't because then I still can't use more than 1 picture in picture at a time. What a dumb design. Shame that the program won't even record at the right resolution anyway and gives me a tiny white border on two sides because the white background is slightly bigger than the video despite being recorded in the correct aspect ratio in "full screen". Crap program.

How do I use the skin for a video object in one of my slides?

I put an video object place holder in one of my question masters, and when I insert a video into the actual project slide, it will not play with a skin. I can set it up to play automatically, but when I add a skin to it, the functions of the skin won't work. Any suggestions?
Ryan

Hi DonTimo,
I've tried doing that, but in the said folder there are only default pictures. I can't find the images of any contacts in the app "Contacts" anywhere. The thread you refered me to and many others that are smilar to it, date back to about 2009-2010.
Really need this photo. Any other pointers?

How to create dynamic View Object and Dynamic Table

Dear ll
I want to create a dynamic view object and display the output in a dynamic table on the page.
I am using Jdeveloper 12c "Studio Edition Version 12.1.2.0.0"
This what I did:
1- I created a read only view object with this query "Select sysdate from dual"
2- I added this View object to the application module
3- I created a new method that change the query of this View object at runtime
    public void changeVoQuery(String dbViewName) {
        String sqlstm = "Select * From " + dbViewName;
        ViewObject dynamicVo = this.findViewObject("DynamicVo");
        if (dynamicVo != null) {
            dynamicVo.remove();
        dynamicVo = this.createViewObjectFromQueryStmt("DynamicVo", sqlstm);
        dynamicVo.executeQuery();
4- I run the application module for testing the method and I passed "Scott.Emp" as a parameter and the result was Success
5- Now I want to show the result of the view on the page, so I draged and dropped the method from the data control as a parameter form
6- I dragged and dropped the view Object "DynamicVo" as a table and I choose "generate Column Dynamically at runtime". This is the page source

Can you add a skin to the video object?

In as3, I've created my own video object to play an flv file. The code starts out something like this:
var myVideo:Video = new Video(320,240);
I would like to attach a .swf skin for it but cannot find any examples on how to do it. All examples are instructions for adding code to a instance of the FLVPlayback object.
My question is can you only attach skins to the FLVPlayback object?
Thanks

To save time, I wanted to use the pre-built skins that are used for the FLV components. I guess to use those skins you need to use the FLV class and if you wanted create your own buttons you would use the generic Video object.

Aspect ratio for a video object

How can you maintain a video objects aspect ratio? The
property maintainAspectRatio seems to work only with the
flvplayback component.

Regardless of the display resolution, if your projector is displaying pixels in a slightly oblong fashion then its outside of the Mac's ability to compensate. The most the mac can do aspect ratio-wise, is to set a different number of pixels on the x and y axes, which would create a different screen aspect ratio, but wouldnt touch the pixel aspect ration. Perhaps the oblong pixels are the projector's way of stretching a too-narrow screen resolution to fit the area the projector is trying to cover. You should be able to change the output screen resolution to the projector in the displays system preference. Try several and see which one works best with the projector.

Can't Stream File using Video object

I'm trying to get my video files to stream from my local version of flash media server to my instance of a flex application. I'm able to connect to the server and I'm receiving the NetConnection.Connect.Success code from the server. When I debug the application, I'm finding that I'm getting NetStatusEvent objects with the codes: NetStream.Play.Reset and NetStream.Play.Start. And the info object's details property is "sample.flv" which is the video file that I have sitting in my "FMSTesting" applicaiton folder. So my video is in my application folder at: "rtmp://localhost/FMSTesting/sample.flv", and my Flex application outputs to the webroot of the flash media server "http://localhost/FMSTesting/bin-debug/FMSTesting.html"
So I'm not sure if my setup is wrong or not, but I think it's ok because I can connect to the server just fine. I just can't get my stream to play on the Video object. Here's my code, please help if you can. I also attached the code

Hi,
Your code is perfectly fine except for one statement.
ns.play(
"sample.flv");
Since you want to play vod, give the stream name without extension like - ns.play("sample");
But why you got NetStream.Play.Reset and NetStream.Play.Start events? It is because you have not mentioned the 'start' and 'length' values in your ns.play() method. Which takes the default for 'start' as -2, which means that Flash Player first tries to play the live stream specified in stream_name. If a live stream of that name is not found, Flash Player plays the recorded stream specified in stream_name. If neither a live nor a recorded stream is found, Flash Player opens a live stream named stream_name, even though no one is publishing on it. When someone does begin publishing on that stream, Flash Player begins playing it. Since you have mentioned the stream name with extension, FMS considers it as a stream which is not found in the server and started waiting for a live stream with the name 'sample.flv'.
Best practice is always give the 'start' and 'length' of the stream when calling NetStream.play() method.

Set the video size and initial play settings

Hi,
When I go to page which has swf file, the video displays
within few secs based on the net connection. But the problem is the
page is blank for 2-3 secs then controls display and then video
after 15 secs. I'm not sure why it happens like this but is there
any way while the video is loading can I have loading image. The
progressive bar shows but like I said till the vidoe displays its
blank. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. For example if
you go to this site you can see loading image.

out of movie. What is that and can we have movie as well as outer

Please anyone know the solution help me out, if need be I can
send you the screenshot of the page so you understand much
better.

Just place a loading movieclip on top of the
flvplayback/video object turn it's visibility off when the flv has
completely buffered and is about to play.

Remove Video Controls and add Replay button on page

Hello,
I am trying to create a page in Adobe Edge that loads a video without any controls (play, slider bar, volume, full screen) and then displays a replay button after the video finishes which will start it from the beginning.
Currently I am able to load the video file and have it play to the end and stop, but I can't seem to get a replay button working. I also can't find a way to disable controls on the video so they do not show.
Here is the code I am using to load the video:
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
$("#Stage").css("margin","auto")
sym.stop();
// original video play code starts here
// create a text object called vid;
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls='none'>" +
   "<source src='video.mp4' type='video/mp4' />" +
   "<source src='video.webm' type='video/webm' />" +
   "<source src='video.ogv' type='video/ogg' />" +
   "This browser is not compatible with HTML 5" +
"</video>"
sym.$("replay_btn").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "top":"-265", "left":"7", "opacity":"1"}, 0);
// stage symbol lookup, and append the above vid object to it;
// in other words, get the div called 'vcontainer' and attach the video control to it;
sym.$("vContainer").append(vid);
// additional options for the video object
vid.attr('autoplay', 'autoplay');
vid.attr('preload','auto');
vid.attr('controls', 'none');
// End original code
// this is the insert for the action after the video ends
$(vid).bind("ended", function () {
sym.$("vContainer").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "left":"0", "opacity":"0"}, 0);
sym.$("replay_btn").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "top":"394", "left":"19", "opacity":"1"}, 0);
$("#Stage").on('click','#replay_btn',function(){
vid.pause();
vid.currentTime = '0';
vid.play();
sym.$("vContainer").stop().animate({"size":"absolute", "top":"133", "left":"0", "opacity":"1"}, 0);
vid.removeAttribute("controls");
As you can see, I tried a few ways of disabling the controls, and I also tried adding the replay function to the button itself, but neither of those worked. Any advice or information on controlling the video control display and replay function in Adobe Edge would be very helpful.
Thanks!

In case anyone is interested in the replay button, I was able to find code that worked:
var myVideo = document.getElementById("activeVideo");
myVideo.currentTime = 0;
myVideo.play();
This is executed when the replay button is clicked. Just be sure to set the video in question's ID to "activeVideo".
I am still unable to turn off the controls on the video. It seems like some of the code I have tried should work, but I haven't had success yet.
I've tried all of the following:
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls='none'>"
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls='0'>"
var vid = $("<video width='980' height='300' controls=''>"
vid.attr('controls', 'none');
vid.attr('controls', '0');
vid.attr('controls', '');
But nothing has worked so far. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Air for Android video object displays on orientation change

I have an Android app that plays a video using the normal video object, ie:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
stream = new NetStream(nc);
stream.client = this ;
stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandlerx);
softwareVideo = new Video(640, 480);
softwareVideo.x = 0;
softwareVideo.y = 0;
addChild(softwareVideo);
When the video is playing if there is an orientation change, before the screen adjusts, you can see a full screen version of the video behind the 640x480 in the area of the screen that adjusted yet. So if the video is in portrait and the orientation is switched to landscape, in the right befow the stage adjusts to landcape you can see the right part of a fullscreen version of the video.
Also when I remove the video object you can still see the last frame of the video in that area.
HELP. Is this a bug?

Hi,
Please log a bug at bugbase.adobe.com with a sample app(sources,swf,app-xml and assets) with which bug can be reproduced at our end. Also please mention the devices with OS version and the AIR build version on which bug is reproducible. A video demonstarting the bug would be really helpful for us.
Also please mention the bug number here on forum so that we can look into this issue.

How to play video repeatedly and with no audio

Hello all,
I use the following code to play video in Flex:
public function startPlayback(event:CairngormEvent) : void
     if (model.nsDemoRemotePlay != null )
                               * Stop and close previous NetStream.
                              var demoStopStreamEvent :VCDemoStopStreamEvent = new VCDemoStopStreamEvent();
                              CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(demoStopStreamEvent);
                    nc.connect(null);
                     * Setup NetStream for playback.
                    model.nsDemoRemotePlay = new NetStream(nc);
                    model. nsDemoRemotePlay.receiveAudio( false );
                    model.nsDemoRemotePlay.client = this._responder;
                         model.videoRemote = new Video(model.videoRemoteWidth, model.videoRemoteHeight);
                         model.videoRemote.attachNetStream( model.nsDemoRemotePlay );
     model.nsDemoRemotePlay.play("assets/videos/Demo.flv");
I have two questions:Could anybody please help me in answering these.
1. Is it possible to play a video without audio? I used receiveAudio( false ) with NetStream object. But audio is still there.
2. How can I play a video play repeatedly? I want to play video repeatedly and stop it only when a Stop event is fired.
Thanks.
