This solution will make up for the source being removed (for legal reasons I believe).
For all those having the issue of “not seeing the video” here is the solution:

1) Go to your Library.
2) Right-click in the empty area and choose New Video.
3) For your Options, I guess you can call the symbol anything, but you want to set the type to Video (ActionScript-controlled) then click OK.
4) Move that Library Object to your stage and give it the appropriate Instance name.

This will solve the issue of not being able to “see” the video.

Thank you kindly.

Hi,

I’ve been researching flash video and have stumbled across your website but don’t seem to be able to open the demo or download the source files.

I have Flash Player 10 and have tried using Safari and Firefox without much joy.

Is the source file still available?

Cheers

I am unable to watch the demo nor download the source file.

Please help, I am trying to learn how to load 3 different FLV files which is located in the same directory with an interval of 3 minutes each.

Okay, i know this will seem like a stupid question, but i really can’t figure it out -

My videos preload (or at least they seem to preload) with the buffer (before the first frame of the swf). So that part is great! But i want to play the preloaded videos in other frames (i.e. frames 3, 6, 9 and 12) that also have flvPlaybacks on them already. How do i put the “address” of the preloaded video in the contentPath?

What i do right now is that on the contentPath of the flvPlayback, i put again the http address of the video – but this instead seems to make the video load AGAIN instead of relying the preloaded vid already. Help please?

Thank you very much!

Great tutorial. How did you know two years ago that I’d be looking for this very solution Also props for taking the time to explain your code. Even for an Actionscript numpty like myself it makes more sense than some of the other ‘solutions’ I’d found en route to this.

Hi,
Thanks for that code Dominic, it is what I was searching for one week. Does anybody know how to redirect the page after video stops playing ones – using getUrl command instead of looping? I need exact code in case when *flv video is located externaly, not embeded in *fla file like in the original source code. I am new to flash, so I can’t modify it on my own
cheers
