Youtube spacebar play/stop function

Ive noticed that you can use the spacebar and the left/right arrows to control the playback on youtube.com
But this only works when i have taken my mouse to click the actual youtube video box or play button... Otherwise the spacebar will scroll down the screen.. Is there any way to toggle selection so that you can select the youtube video to be your main focus!? I am hoping something like tab key or option+tab.

Hmmm...
When the movie window has focus (two clicks on the window, or, by clicking on the movie's play/pause button), the spacebar then works in the same way as a QT Player window --- play, pause. But it's not like the spacebar gives you exclusive control over the transport of the movie as it does in a QT Player window, because if cycle is on, Logic will jump back to the left locator when Logic hits the right locator point. This mixing of behaviors (1/2 QT, 1/2 Logic) is terrible. I'm not sure that there's any benefit to it.
So, OK, (sigh) when the movie float window has focus, the operation of the spacebar changes. However, other key commands retain their pre-programmed behavior and relate to objects previously selected in non-focused windows! For example, if I have an audio file highlighted in the arrange window while the movie window has focus, I can use key commands to split at playhead, mute, open the sample editor, etc. Somehow that region object retains focus even though its containing window doesn't. Meanwhile, the most basic transport function --- play/stop --- retains focus with the movie window, and changes its behavior with respect to the rest of the program.
Makes no sense.

BUG: Basic Play/Stop Function is Broken

SETUP:
spacebar keycommand = play/stop
cycle = on
By now, anyone who's been on Logic for 5 minutes should be able to tell you the expected behavior when you hit the spacebar --- it toggles between these two functions:
• jump to left locator and play
• stop
PROBLEM
I changed the icon on a track. Then I hit the spacebar, expecting my track to jump to the left locator and play. Nope... Instead, the spacebar acted like a "pause/stop" control:
hit = play from current position
hit = stop
hit = play from current position
This is incorrect behavior when cycle is on. Right? Tell me I'm not going mad...
Can anyone confirm this behavior?

Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

How do I get the Play, Stop, Volume controls to appear in my embedded Flash object?

Hello,
I want to show .swf or .flv videos on my website--like
youtube.com. I want to use the standard Flash Player object
embedded in a web page, however, I cannot seem to find the exact
params that make the standard controls appear (ie, Play, Stop,
Pause, Volume, etc). I just want to show a video and have the Play,
Stop, Pause, Volume controls visible at the bottom. What do I need
to do to get these controls to appear?
Here's my current code:
<object

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Sorry! It's AS3. A typo on my part but, thanks for answering the post. This is the correct answer that worked for me. Also, the answer came from Kglad in the AS3 forum
Assign your component an instance name (if it doesn't already have one), eg flv and in the frame that contains that component add:
flv.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,removedF);
function removedF(e:Event):void{
flv.stop();

Flash CS3 Play/Stop audio button problem

I made a play/stop audio button with this youtube tutorial (youtube.com/watch?v=XU6oMEFUFF8) but after the sound is finished I want the play button to show up agian.
Here is the actionscript:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickha ndler);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickha ndler);
function clickhandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
swapChildren(play_btn,stop_btn);
what code should I add to my current code?
I also can send you the Fla.

You should consider using the Sound class. Here's a quick overview of it:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7d21.html
You'll be able to add event listeners to the sound to know when it completes so you can execute more code, such as swapping the play and stop button. There is an example in that overview of listening for the SOUND_COMPLETE event (e.g. channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);). It should contain everything you need.
A basic example of what you'll end up with (there's many ways to do it) might look something like this:
// just set up and wait for click
var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
var mySound:Sound = new MySoundInLibrary();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
myChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
// buttons
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickhandler);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickhandler);
function clickhandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          swapChildren(play_btn, stop_btn);
          if (isPlaying)
                    isPlaying = false;
                    myChannel.stop();
          else
                    isPlaying = true;
                    myChannel = mySound.play();
function onPlaybackComplete(e:Event):void
          isPlaying = false;
          swapChildren(play_btn, stop_btn);
The basic idea is keeping a flag if the audio is currently playing. If it isn't then assign the sound to a channel and play it while setting the flag (isPlaying) to true. If it's already playing, set the flag to false and stop playing the audio.
The swapChildren is run in the onPlaybackComplete() method so when the audio completes the play button is swapped back in front.
Rather than swapping the children I'd urge you to toggle the .visible property instead. It's easy to run commands in the wrong order and get desynched on depth.

YouTube videos keep stopping on IPad. How to fix?

YouTube videos keep stopping on IPad. How to fix?

UPDATE: fixing iPad Sound after iOS 7
http://youtu.be/SDf1LDcE95Q
(1min 36sec)
It covers the basics:
checking side-switch / mute / "Control Center"
volume all up
...and also the worst cases:
closing all apps (for rare cases when a single app might render the sound system instable)
rebooting the iPad
So, don't get desparete: try the things in the video.
There are people who reported having forgotten an audio-bluetooth connection activated with a turned-off sound-system or speakers... or forgot Air-Play turned on... so be sure you disengage bluetooth and/or airplay.
On the 'hardware side', dirty dock connector (30 pin) can make the iPad 'think' it is connected to external audio - if so, cleaning it with a dry toothbrush can fix. Also, moisture in the headphones connector can make the iPad switch to 'headphones' even without headphones connected, making it silent: check if you can hear things with headphones plugged in - if so, try gently inserting and removing headphones a few times and check if you get sound back to iPad's speakers alone.
Good luck to everybody! Audio problems are quite common - fontunately they are easy to fix.

CS4 "play-stop" button not working

OK hope someone might be able to help - I am trying to get CS4 working on my partners machine which is a Sony Vaio VGN-AR49G – specs here - http://vaio-online.sony.com/prod_info/vgn-ar49g/vgn-ar49g.pdf
A bit of history...
Recently installed Premier Pro CS4 on vista (Running CS3 previously on vista with no issues).
Running CS4 within days started to have conflicts between AVCHD and DV when editing in the same timeline – were recommended to upgrade to Windows 7. Upgraded to Win 7 32 bit. This is the course of action:
- After upgrading from Vista to Win 7 32 bit, got the Win 7 updates;
- Upgraded some drivers (used Driver Robot to detect driver updates required);
- Uninstalled CS4 suite and reinstalled;
- Downloaded CS4 upgrades…
Things seem to be running properly now except the "play-stop" button (or space bar) in both the "Source" & "Program Sequence" Screens doesn't work. Can scroll by moving the bar along the timeline, select in and out points etc… OK, but movie won’t play in source screen or program screen.
Have checked WAV, AVI, AVCHD … none will play.
Closed Premier Pro and open Premier Elements on the same machine and it is functioning fine – can play the same footage…
I’ve updated all drivers which Driver Robot seemed to think needed upgrading EXCEPT Intel ICH8 Family .. the upgrade failed and I haven’t been able to locate more up to date drivers on the web .. and found a note on my travels that these don’t need upgrading anyway.
http://communities.intel.com/message/72149;jsessionid=6169690E70B02BD075E4C1131A7ACC85.nod e5COMS
Help please!

Thanks!
Really, so we're better to start from scratch rather than upgrade?? We'd have to re-load any other apps / drivers back on too after the install? Don't run too much else on the machine as it is purely for editing.
We have purchased the upgrade rather than straight install -- but if there's a pretty good chance that we'll solve the problem then we'll go buy that too. Interested in any comments you have to help me understand Win 7 install vs upgrade ... thanks!

Ipod only plays, or functions when plugged in

I have a 30gb ipod first i thought my battery was dead, now it turns out that it will only charge with a wall charger(direct)not the one that you can use the usb cable with, and it will only play, or function for that matter when its plugged in. As soon as you unplug the charger or ipod it stops, and soon as you put it back on the charger you can use the menus and the music will play.Help!!

Well, I now believe that the battery is shot.
I'm suspecting that your charger uses the 12V Firewire pins instead of the 5V USB pins. That would be enough to overpower a dead battery and allow the unit to operate but, of course, because the battery is shot, the iPod quits when you disconnect the charger. The USB chargers use 5V and that isn't enough to overpower a completely destroyed battery.
I could be wrong but that's the only logical explanation that I can think of.

IOS 5: Phone button stopped functioning

After updating IOS 5, the phone button at my IP4 has stopped functioning. I can not make phone calls except using contacts button or listen my messages. I see that I have 4 messages but the application switches off after two seconds or does not start after pressing the phone button. There are other problems such battery draining. I realized that notification system is not functioning as well, despite me turning off all notifications I am still getting notifications from NYT and Facebook as well.

It took me a couple of days because most of the time I have the sound turned off. It was only after my son was playing Slice Fractions and asked me to turn on the sound that I noticed it at all and only then because the app was loud as...well, it was really loud.
On the other end of the service report spectrum, for whatever reason, my gut told me to get Apple Care when I got the phone. May have been the persuasive smile of the salesgirl or just good instincts... Still, they were really professional on my text-chat session. We tried a few of the things that were outlined above and then they just set me up with an appointment at the Genius Bar for Wednesday afternoon. I am told there is a good chance that they will give me a new device if they can't fix it on the spot. Since I will be restoring from a backup, the problem, if it is a glitch, should appear on the new phone as well and then we'll have our answer...
Apple Care vs. Taking Care is like the difference between Good Whiskey vs. Cheap Whiskey:
Pay now or Pay later...
I'll keep you posted...

Macbook is slow to load webpages and youtube videos are stopping

I just recently purchased a Macbook pro, however, its been slow to load webpages, youtube videos, etc. The youtube videos frequently stop playing and I have to reload the page. Its not the connection and I havent had the computer long enough to have to clear safari chache. WHY

Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the same issue, though it's not a poor router problem (upgraded that hoping it would fix it).
I tried the OpenDNS and it helped once, then stopped loading Netflix (Netflix, Youtube, and Facebook seem to be common problems, as well as "new" webpages that I don't go to often). If I connect directly to my Ethernet the internet works great. My iPhone connected to WiFi works great. It's just my Macbook pro and it just recently happened when I moved to my new house (I had the same ISP at an apartment and had 0 issues). Any thoughts?

Embedded media player controls (play, stop, pause, etc.) on multiple sites will not respond in FireFox 12.0 or will only respond after multiple clicks

I go to multiple websites that contain embedded media, such as billburr.com, tunein.com, and forums where members embed media from sites like YouTube. When attempting to access or use that media, using the available play, stop, pause, and volume control buttons, FireFox doesn't respond. For example, If I'm on billburr.com and attempt to play the podcast, I can click the play button over and over again and nothing will happen. The play button lights up like the site realizes I'm clicking it, but the media will not play, at least not the first time. I might get it to work after several fast clicks. However, if I need to pause it, I have the same trouble. These sites work perfectly in IE 9. I've already started FireFox in safe mode, but encountered the same problem. Has anyone seen this?

That is a Flash player on the billburr<i></i>.com site.
You can try to install the 32 bit Flash player for Firefox from this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

Won't pause, play, stop, or skip when minimized.

Whenever I minimized iTunes, I can't pause, play, stop, or skip.
Is this because of the new iTunes update?

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

"YouTube-style" Play button on video

I've successfully published a video but whenever I try to
embed it in an HTML page, the video plays immediately when I open
the page. I would like to have the video stopped by default with a
big, "YouTube-style" Play button in the middle of the screen that
users could click to get things started. Did I miss a setting
somewhere that allows me to do this?
Thanks,
Sterling

Welcome to our community, Sterling
To pause a Captivate slide, you insert a Click Box or a
Button object. Either of those should normally stop the slide from
advancing until your user clicks to allow play to resume.
For the image, you may wish to fashion one that you
superimpose on the slide and possibly allow some transparency.
Hopefully this helps... Rick
