I am trying to stop the audio of the video swf and I can't get it to stop. Here is my code for loading the file:
var myLoader:Loader= new Loader();
myLoader.x=420;
myLoader.y=200;
// boolean variable set for use below in our function
var screenCheck:Boolean = false;
//These three linces keep stafe elements the same size, so they don't distort
var swfStage:Stage = this.stage;
video_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,contentvideo);
function contentvideo (event:MouseEvent):void{
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("prevideo.swf"));
addChild(myLoader);
movie_btn.stop();
movie_btn.visible=false;
}
Now I have other functions that load different URLRequest and when they are loading, the audio keeps playing. Do I have to add a line of code to them? I also have an MP3 player and tried SoundMixer.stopAll(). I still need the mp3 player to keep playing.
I'm not familiar with what you're doing but just looking at the code and given the problem you're experiencing I wonder if that
addChild(myLoader);
has anything to do with it. It seems like the kind of thing that could easily create multiple child objects which is why you continue to experience the sound play back. Is there a removeChild[0] option or something?
A shot in the dark I know but I thought I'd offer the possibility anyway.

I have loaded an external SWF to my timeline using a common loader method. The SWF is Jwplayer and it is polling a live rtmp stream. Here is the snippet I used to load it successfully.
var c4:Loader = new Loader();
var c4req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("player.swf");
var c4flashvars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
c4flashvars.streamer = "rtmp://myserver";
c4flashvars.file = "live"
c4req.data = c4flashvars;
c4.load(c4req);
addChild(c4)
Now, the player loads fine. It begins to poll a live stream, too. However, no matter what I try I cannot remove this child from the stage. I have tried the following:
removeChild(c4);
c4.unloadAndStop();
For testing, I am calling these from a timer/event listener/function combo. I traced it to make sure it was being fired, and it is. However the player just sits there on the stage and refuses to leave. Output isn't throwing any errors. I half suspect that because it's polling a live stream that the loader never sees the external SWF as fully loaded. But that's just a hunch.
The overall scope of this little project is to load the player, check for an event, and re-load the player (unload, and reload). If anyone could help me understand this, get past this, or is feeling generous enough to show me the light; I'd appreciate it greatly. I've put a solid day into messing around with this and searching. I'm just not grasping something. Thanks!
I know that we can not record/Access anything out of flash player, because of it's security sandbox.
Instead We can record the video while streaming it to server.
like
netStream.publish("YourFileName.flv","record");
But in recorde file, I will get only a video file Published by webcam to server and i want to record entire session.
Is there any way to record it locally, or Can i record the window ??
p.s. : I am not trying to access anything outside of flash player.
Thanks in advance...
ok, so you can record the entire contents of the swf like this:
first, create a container object (anything that extends DisplayObject which implements IBitmapDrawable) then place everything that you want to capture (video view and everything else in your "session") then using an ENTER_FRAME event or Timer (preferable to control capture fps), draw the container to a BitmapData using BitmapData.draw(container). Pass that BitmapData to the FLV encode library found here using it's addFrame() method (docs and examples come with that library... super easy) and that's it! When you are done, you will have an flv video containing a frame by frame "screen capture" of what was going on in your swf! Just make sure EVERYTHING is in the container! That lib also accepts captured audio too if you want.
private function startCapturing():void{
flvEncoder.start(); // see the libs docs and examples
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000/15); //capture at 15 fps
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.Timer, onTimer);
timer.start();
}
private function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void{
var screenCap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(container.width, container.height);
screenCap.draw(container);
flvEncoder.addFrame(screenCap); // see the libs docs and examples
}
I'm trying to achieve seamless looping of an MP4 (or M4A to be more specific) sound. The usual method of loading, playing to the end, and then seeking to position zero causes a small delay (less than a second) before the second playback begins.
So now I'm trying to preload the sound data and then use NetStream.appendBytes() to append the whole sound data at the end of the original sound, expecting the sound to repeat once. But first, I want to be able to play the sound just once using the appendBytes() method. Here is the code I wrote that doesn't give any errors but doesn't play a sound either:
var data:ByteArray = new SoundData; // SoundData class contains the embedded M4A file data
var connection: NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect(null);
var stream: NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
stream.client = {};
function onNetStatus(event:NetStatusEvent): void {
trace(event.info.code, stream.time, stream.bytesLoaded, stream.bytesTotal);
}
stream.play(null);
stream.appendBytesAction(NetStreamAppendBytesAction.RESET_BEGIN);
stream.appendBytes(data);
Am I using appendBytes() correctly?
I ended up using a hack for achieving apparent seamless looping: loading two sound files through NetStream, playing one, and 100ms before its end, starting to play the other.
hai i want play two swf files in my action script project.In this two files one swf file works on the detection face in front of the system.Other swf plays the flv file.when face is detected player must be stooped if not player must be plays the flv file.
I know how to load the swf file but i cant handle the functionality regarding starting and stoping player.
the snippet of code shows how can i load external swf file .and i will explain each line of code in comments
public function videos(view:Sprite)
{
this.box = view;//IT GETS Sprite object from other class because of need to display the player also.
request = new URLRequest("Untitled-1.swf");
currentSWF=new MovieClip();
loader= new Loader();
loader.load(request);
box.addChild(loader);
currentSWF = MovieClip(loader.content);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadComplete);
//addChild(loader);
currentSWF.gotoAndPlay(1);//when i put this line of code in comments it plays the external swf also.
}
I hope u understand my doubt .can any one explain how to handle my things .i am new to this action script.please help me
Loaded files automatically play, unless you tell them explicitely not to. You’ll have to listen to the Event.INIT event, and stop the movie there:
loader.AddEventListener(Event.INIT, initLoader);
function initLoader (event:Event)
{
MovieClip(event.currentTarget.content).stop();
}
This will stop the movie before it is attached to the stage, and before it starts playing—so it won’t do that unless you start it again.
Note that you shouldn’t access loader.content in any way before the INIT or COMPLETE events, as it’s very likely that the content isn’t loaded then. As such you should put all your manipulating actions into the COMPLETE event:
box.addChild(loader);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete (event:Event)
{
// Now it’s safe to access the `content` member:
currentSWF = MovieClip(loader.content);
// Of course this one would play the movie again, so you probably want
// to call that later on a button click or something.
currentSWF.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
I am doing a presentation on which I need to use a lot of video clips. I load all these videos dynamically using Loader. I use a code snippet like this:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("video.swf");
var a:Loader = new Loader();
a.load(req);
stage.addChild(a);
a
Now the issue is: When I get to say the 7th one, it starts lagging. I do not know why, but I think it is because everything is loaded to memory. Is there a way I can erase a video from memory after displaying it? Or is there another solution to this?
If you just load a new video each time and add it to the stage, you will have a rather big hierarchy of movies sitting on top of each other; all kept on stage and in memory.
If you keep a reference to the previously loaded movie, you can just remove it from the stage when the 'next' movie is loaded. Haven't tested this properly, but just to give you an idea of what the code might look like:
var oldLoader:Loader = null;
var a:Loader = new Loader();
a.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loader_complete);
a.load(<your url>);
function loader_complete(e:Event):void {
var newLoader:Loader = e.currentTarget.loader as Loader;
stage.addChild(newLoader);
if(oldLoader != null) {
stage.removeChild(oldLoader);
oldLoader = null;
}
oldLoader = newLoader;
}
I think I found the solution. If you use removeChild, it only stops displaying, but the whole thing is still in memory (cache). So the more you load the videos, the more you fill up the cache. What we need is something that completely clears the cache before loading another video.
I used unloadAndStop() and it seem to have completely done the trick, unless someone has something against it.
Thanks again
