Talk:Flash-Ajax Video Component

Any ideas on how to make this work ?

Thanks, SK -=-

<form id="form1" runat="server">

       <script type="text/javascript">

playerOne = new FAVideo("divOne", "http://musc.edgeboss.net/download/musc/videos/2007/3dtechnologymed_prog001.flv",0,0,{ autoLoad:true, autoPlay:true }); </script> </form>

this component is busted

I have my global security settings setup correctly. I've attempted to demo this component on my local machines (mac & pc) and on an apache server and no matter what I do no video whatsoever loads or plays.

This component works nicely, I am only having trouble with two issues:

• When I add Cue Points to the FLV it doesn't return the data in the event returned from Flash. I am trying to facilitate Captioning Support Embedded within the movie. (Added the following code to FAVideo.as to duplicate the cuepoint object)

static var refCount;

private function duplicate(cuePoint:Object):Object { var obj:Object = new Object(); obj["blah"] = "test"; if ( refCount == undefined) { refCount = 0; } refCount++; if ( refCount > 4 ) { refCount--; return;

} if ( typeof(cuePoint) == "object" ) { for ( var prop in cuePoint) { if ( typeof(cuePoint[prop]) != "object" ) { obj[prop] = cuePoint[prop]; } else { obj[prop] = duplicate(cuePoint[prop]); } } }

refCount--; return obj; }

and changed private function onNetStreamCuePoint(cuePoint:Object):Void { sendEvent('cuePoint', duplicate(cuePoint)); }

• When I try to open the ".fla" file to try to modify the cuepoints returned event it tells me unsupported version. I have tried using Flash MX Pro, Flash MX 2004 Pro, Flash 8 Pro. All of these have the same results. (downloaded demo of CS3 and it opens and works)

• I would also like to know if there is an easy way to embed this component as an embed tag by itself. I want users to be able to view the videos on my page with captioning and then be able to have a simple embed tag they can place into there pages to contain the video and apply any settings i may want to apply.

Problem with FireFox

In IE, when I hide the DIV container and then unhide it, the video continues from where it left off. In FireFox it starts the video from the beginning and it reloads the file from the server so I cannot use seek to get back to where I was. I tried using display:none and visibility:false and they both do the same thing.

This is a real problem since I need to cover the video at different times. I have discovered that if I just put something over the video without hiding the div then the video shows through whatever is on top of it.

Any ideas on how to get around this problem?

Firefox

mchahn, What version of Firefox you used? I use mp3/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 - no problems

Streaming?

No RTMP streaming support? Is there any documentation?

No Video, Just Audio... sometimes

So I'm having this problem where the video will play... without the video portion. It just plays the audio. This has nothing to do with security issues as all the local settings have been set. It's just playing without the video part. Any ideas? Thanks.

Drive Favideo with javascript

Hi all,

I'm seeking howtos to use javascripts commands to drive Favideo but all i found are the commands we can read in the html source code of the zip file.

I would like to start/stop the player when users lunch another player instance in a fullscreen window (Thx to the amazing Shadowbox script because the favideo don't use the fullscreen mode  :uglllll: or i don't found yet how to too !!) but i must understand the javascript code in the examples given but it is not always so simple.

My problem is i don't know which variables are available and which one i can use with javascript and i don't know javascript enought. Where can we found all the parameters we can modify on fly ?

Like the very good Jeroen Wijering FLV player, i thought it was possible and easy to make it working...

So, if i have to reopen the flash sources to seek all variables i prefer to use another one :( and any way, i can no longuer use again a new demo trial.
