Working with a FLV inside Flash?

Is there ever a time you would want/need to import a FLV into
Flash? I
tried it and am able to open a FLV in Flash, just curious if
anyone's
workflow ever includes opening a FLV or not.
Thanks.

by flvplayback component or a video object, do you mean you
would use
one of these to play a flv through a swf without ever needing
to import
the actual flv back into flash?

Looking for a preloader that would work with my fullscreen (liquid) flash

Hi!
I'm building my own Flash website using a fullscreen (liquid
layout) Flash tutorial that I found somewhere (can't remember
where)...
I was having problems with a preloader that I've been using
(modifying) for my Flash jobs... I decided to keep working on my
website anyway and get back to that later... But now it's just
annoying me and I'd really love to figure out how to get a
preloader to work with my site.
My site is not complete yet, and it's probably not built the
best way it should (my first full-flash website!.. plus I'm a
designer, I really suck with code) but here's a link to download my
zipped .fla file (Flash CS3) + fonts (don't know if you need that
but anyway):
http://www.studioorangedesign.com/SOD_site.zip
Hopefully, you guys can tell me how I could get a preloader
to work with my site.
All I really need is to have a really simple clean font that
shows a percentage going up or a bar filling up... nothing fancy
needed here...
Thanks!

Hi there,
The following code is what I use for preloading. You have to
put it on the first frame. I think you will be able to attach it to
your own code.
//Actionscript 3
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,testInterval);
function testInterval(e:Event):void{
var nLoadedBytes:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
var nTotalBytes:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
//trace (nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)
percent.text = Math.round(nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)+
“% complete”;
//trace (nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)
if (nLoadedBytes >= nTotalBytes) {
trace(”load complete”);
this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,testInterval);
play();
//End

Why cant i work with CS3 programs exept flash?

hi all here - i am new
I tried captivate, because I thougt it would be a tool to
make screen recordings for e-learning. Like to explain people how
to use a software or a backoffice.
But I am getting frustrated now.
I cannot export anything except flash. But I dont wann use
flash. What for?
I am not doing Powerpoint crab.
I bought the "master collection CS3" and didn´t find a
program to make screen recordings.
So I was searching for a software compatible to my CS3 suite.
But I cannot work with those files in Soundbooth, Premiere
Pro of after effects.
I would like to clean the sound and convert the file in
different file formats with the media encoder.
So for what do I really need Captivate if it doesn´t
work together with the other programs?
Is there annother software from Adobe to help me?

Hi Pedro Hofmann and welcome to our community
As you have seen, Captivate is not part of the CS3 suite. It
IS however, part of a different suite. One that is known as
the "Technical Communication Suite" or TCS. That particular suite
contains Framemaker, Acrobat Pro 3D, Captivate and RoboHelp.
Captivate does indeed create e-learning. However, it is a
slide based system similar to PowerPoint. But the end result is
something that is often referred to as a "movie". If you record in
Demonstration mode, it is played back without pausing and with
mouse movements and whatnot. The illusion is that you end up with a
full motion video.
Yes, the output is Flash based. In other words, it relies on
the Flash Player (in the web Browser typically) to present your
output to the user. This is largely because the Flash Player is so
pervasive and has deep penetration. Something like 98-99% of the
browsers in use are "Flash Capable". This is a good thing, as it
means that you don't have too many concerns with ensuring a
specific player or viewer is installed.
Captivate
can be exported to Flash for further or more detailed
tweaking. But it's not yet perfect. One may wonder why it's not
"quite there yet". And for those folks, it's good to keep in mind
that Adobe didn't create Captivate and hasn't had it all that long.
Adobe got Captivate when they acquired Macromedia. And Macromedia
only had it a very short time. They acquired it from eHelp
corporation. And eHelp corporation acquired it from the original
owners and creators. That company was Nexus Concepts.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

RTMP Netstream NOT working with latest version of flash Player

Let me preface this by saying: This is definitely a bug either with latest Adobe Flash Player or the streaming Media Server (in this case Real Helix):
In the latest version of the Flash player (10.1.82.76) Code that worked previously in version 10.1.53.64 does not work now. This is basic code to connect to an RTMP server (Real Helix) using Netstream class. NOW the video does not even display and there is no error message . THIS ONLY OCCURS in a BROWSER . Also I am using swfobject to display the flash and I tried with latest version and the old 1.4.1 version.
Adobe please look into this, Is this possibly a problem with Real Helix OR Flash Player itself......I can't imagine nobody has come across this before?!
private function init():void
            video = new Video();
            NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
            nc = new NetConnection();
            nc.client = this;
            nc.addEventListener (NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,checkConnect);
            nc.connect(rtmppath);
        //---BEGIN: Video Handling methods ----------------------------------------------
        private function onBWDone():void
        private function checkConnect (e:NetStatusEvent):void
            trace(flag_Running);
            if(flag_Running)
              return;
            var msg:Boolean=false;
            msg = (e.info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success");
            flag_Running=true;
                if (msg)
                    ns = new NetStream(nc);
                    ns.client = {onMetaData:ns_onMetaData, onCuePoint:ns_onCuePoint,onPlayStatus:ns_onPlayStatus,netStatus:onNetStatus};
                    ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
                    ns.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
                    ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,onNetstreamStatus); //only handles errors right now
                    //vidDisplay is a Video object in the library (Video - actionscript controlled)
                    vidDisplay.attachNetStream(ns);
                    // set the smoothing value from the constant
                    vidDisplay.smoothing = SMOOTHING;
                    setVolume(DEFAULT_VOLUME);
                    bolLoaded = true;
                    trace("NetConnection.Connect.Success");
                    cur_state = STATE_CONNECTED;
                    callback(MESSAGE_TYPE_VID_INIT_DONE,null);
                else
                    trace("Load Video Failed: NetStatusEvent " + e.info.code);
                    callback(MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR,null,"Load Video Failed: NetStatusEvent " + e.info.code);

This is confirmed as a REAL HELIX Bug. Here is what I recevied from them:
This has already been fixed (not yet released). For existing servers to work with the
latest Flash player (10.1.82.76) you need to add the following to the top level of
your server config file
<List Name="RTMP">
   <List Name="Scheme2">
       <List Name="Versions">
           <Var v1="0x80000702"/>
       </List>
   </List>
</List>
I put this in the config file and restarted the server, and it worked!

Working with 3d models in Flash

Hi
I am trying to find a solution for a student I'm working with - she wants to have a 3d model to rotate very slowly (360 degrees every 24 hours) for a very specific project she is working on, my initial thoughts were that flash would be the best option for this, can this be done out of the box with flash or is there a open source plugin for flash that would help. The model is very basic with a simple texture applied to it, other that the rotation there is no other animation to the geometry ie. it is a static mesh

The best perhaps easiest way is to use a flash vector program called "Swift3D" you can import the model from many different formats and I believe you can build a model within it (Swift) and export out as a flash animation. Bring it in into Flash and go from there.
Hope it helps

Working with objects \ beans inside a Swing.JTextPane

javax.swing.text.html
specifically
javax.swing.text.html.ObjectVeiw Class
Is it possible to set the size of on object, which is an instance of type Component
Example
Although these beans work fine, I can not set the width and height properties while they are embedded in the JTextPane. Attempts to give initial values of height & width within the object tag also fail.
<HTML><BODY bgcolor="#00A0A0">
Test This <P>page
<p>This next object is a Simple Bean that extends Canvas
<object classid="SimpleBean" width="150" height="150">
<param name="width" value="10"> <! Does not work in JTextPane>
<param name="height" value="200">
<param name="underText" value="Text for the Canvas">
</object>
<p>This next object is a JTextPane
<object classid="javax.swing.JTextPane">
<param name="text" value="Embeded JTextPane">
<param name="size" value"150,150">
</object>
</BODY></HTML>
Also could you show me more HTML examples of use

if there is
a LayoutManager in use, it will overwrite the size you
attempt to set. Only if the layout manager is null
will doing a setSize() work properly.true

Iphone won't work with sim card inside

I bought a iphone 3Gs and the last owner updated the IOS to 5.1.1.
It works perfect without the sim card, but as soon as i put a sim card in the iphone it does the following things:
(Even when the battery is 100%)
- the apple symbol appears and the iphone shuts down again.
- the apple symbol appears, i can enter the code and the iphone shuts down again.
- the apple symbol appears, i can enter the code, i get a screen and the iphone shuts down again.
- the apple symbol appears, i can enter the code, i get a screen and when i want to make a picture or a phone call the iphone shuts down again.
- the apple symbol appears, i can enter the code, i get a screen and some time later the iphone shuts down again.
What can be the problem?

I did tried a different sim. The problem was the same.
But i think i found the solution. I did recovery (reinstall) of the IOS and after that i was asked to put in the sim. Untill now it seems to work.

FireFox 3.6.16 still not working with Flash!

Since updating to the latest version of FireFox 3.6 I have not been able to watch flash video's on YouTube and other sites, also any flash based content is blank or black.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8 on a G5 PPC so Flash 10.1.102.64, the latest for PPC Mac's.
I've gone through all the usual steps of disabling plug-in's and extensions with no luck.
I'm also using the latest Safari 5 and it is still working with YouTube and other Flash sites.
ETA - Just found something weird, if I launch the QuickTime Player (not the plug-in) after launching FireFox then Flash appears to act normally, even after quiting QT.

@cor-el
Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding. As i understood now it is in fact only a "DOM storage data" topic.
Quote from betterprivacy:
''"Disabling DOM storage (instead of deleting the file on shutdown) causes a website script to throw an exception. This means that the execution of the script is aborted immediately, not just the DOM storage instruction is ignored. None of the following script instructions would be executed, even if those instructions have nothing to do with DOM storage. That is the reason why -with DOM storage disabled- sites like CNN.com will cease to play videos."''

ISight not working with Apple apps but only with Skype and flash....

Hi guys, don't know why but suddenly my isight stopped working with every apple application, like ichat, imovie and photoboot, but it still works with skype and safari (flash).
The camera simply doesn't work, the green led stays off.... I tried resetting PRAM, SMC, deleted .plist files, tried new account and everything...
Maybe the problem is facetime, I uninstalled it by simply dragging it to the trashcan, so I followed a thread here and manually deleted its last files but no luck....
Please guys help me, I really hope I don't have to FORMAT my mac... sounds so windows to me XD...

Thanks for the "helpful" star, V4N0!
(1) Your initial post shows you using Mac OS X (10.6.6),
but your latest post shows Mac OS X (10.6.5).
Have you "downdated" to 10.6.5?
(2) iSight works with iMovie, Photo Booth, QuickTime, and other apps like Address Book,
etc. You need not try every possible app, but please tell us which you have tested,
and which, if any, work with your iSight.
(3) Have you tested iSight operation in more than one user account?
Are the symptoms EXACTLY the same in any user account you test?
(4) If your only problem is with ALL apps in ALL user accounts, try applying the
Combo Update using the method suggested in this recent post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12859723&#12859723
If you want the latest Mac OS instead of 10.6.5, download the 10.6.6 Combo Update:

instead of the 10.6.5 Combo (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324) link in the post.

Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

sebastiankf,
That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

Automated JSFL with Save As older Flash Version

Is there a command for jsfl to automatically save the fla-file as CS5.0 or CS5.5 (with CS5.5 or CS6)? With this script one could avoid the annoying "save as" command, when you are working with multiple versions of Flash.

Hi,
While saving the copy of created pdf in reader 10 or above, if i enable Save As optimizes for Fast web view links stop working else they are working fine. Can you help me with how to uncheck this option automatically. Please provide a solution as i have been looking for the resolution for last couple of weeks and need to resolve asap.
Thanks,
Kamal

FLV not working with Flash 9 player

Ok, strange issue here. I've converted a file to FLV using
Flash 8, imported the video into Flash 8 and published it to my
site. When I try to view the video in IE (I'm on winXP by the way)
using the Flash 8 player it loads correctly and starts playing. If
I'm using Flash 9 player the video never loads. I can right click
in the area where the swf is and I get the Flash options so I know
the swf is loading, but the video from the FLV never loads. Any
ideas?

I have the same issue. Everything works great in Flash 7 and
8. I am playing .flv files from a different spot in the server and
I am calling them from a swf file.
In Flash 9 the file won't play. Here is my sample file:
http://ce.byu.edu/cw/yase/.
The quick fix security.allowDomain("*"); has no impact on this
call. I am using my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns); to load the
video.
I have changed the mime type in another server, restarted and
I have the same problem. Any help would be great!

BitmapData only works inside flash 8 IDE

I need to take a snapshot of the currently playing .flv
video:
var snap = new BitmapData(70, 52);
var mat:Matrix = new Matrix();
mat.scale(70/640, 52/480); // scale to thumbnail size
snap.draw(mc, mat);
mc contains the video that is currently playing.
The strange thing is that if I run it inside flash 8 IDE it
works fine. But if I click on the .swf file and open it outside the
IDE I get a blank picture.
