[Flashcoders] Re: Flashcoders Digest, Vol 22, Issue 32
i-ve just done that , it worked out well thanks!
The last time I came across this problem, I used an MOUSE_MOVE loop to
check everytime if the x and y mouse positions were inside the stage
area, and if not I called the same function that should be called on the
MOUSE_LEAVE event...

Hello,
Is there any workaround to the issue with Adobe Flash where a Flash Movie
does not receive a MOUSE_LEAVE event if the mouse is dragged outside of
the
movie? Neither when i MOUSE_UP outside the stage.
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, dropIt);
function dropIt(e1:MouseEvent = null, e2:Event = null):void {
textField.text = OK ; // extreme debug method
full_mc.stopDrag();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, dropIt);
}
That actually works when I run the SWF file, and even on IE.
But on Firefox and Chrome nothing happens, it continues dragging the
MovieClip when the cursor returns to stage. The dropIt function doesn´t
run
( the textField.text doesn´t update)
Thanks a lot!

[Flashcoders] Compiling API Docs with Flex 3 SDK

Well in that case, how would you create the navigation without increasing the size of the flv? If he only has two frames, can he set cue points for a time based navigation instead of frame based?

Re: [Flashcoders] Seek bar not working with FLVPlayback Component?
You can't. Setting cue points for time based navigation inserts a key frame. You can only seek to key frames. It's all covered in that article, specifically: Specify the type of cue point you want to embed. You can embed either a navigation or event cue point. * Event cue points are used to trigger ActionScript methods when the cue point is reached, and let you synchronize the video playback to other events within the Flash presentation. * Navigation cue points are used for navigation and seeking, and to trigger ActionScript methods when the cue point is reached. Embedding a navigation cue point inserts a keyframe at that point in the video clip to enable viewers to seek to that point in the video. Note: Adding additional keyframes can lower the overall quality of a video clip. For this reason, navigation cue points should only be used when users will need to seek to a particular point within the video. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Seek bar not working with FLVPlayback Component?
Fwiw, you can set Actionscript cue points that trigger when your flv reaches a frame. That wouldn't increase flv file size. This works irrespective of keyframes in the video file. However it has less accuracy (+/- 500ms apparently) than a metadata cue point and associated keyframe. var cue1:Object = new Object(); cue.time = 8.5; // seconds cue.name = THIS_IS_MY_CUE_POINT; cue.type = CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT; myFlvPlaybackInstance.addASCuePoint(cue); myFlvPlaybackInstance.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, handleCuePoint); BH. -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Peter B Sent: Friday, 31 July 2009 1:29 p.m. To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Seek bar not working with FLVPlayback Component?

Re: [Flashcoders] Seek bar not working with FLVPlayback Component?
great threat, thanks for all the input -
event cue points == good times..great for triggering transitions and
such..(e.g. rendered video from AE)
myVideo_mc.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, onCuePoint);
function onCuePoint(event:MetadataEvent):void
{
trace(Elapsed time in seconds: + flvPlayback.playheadTime);
trace(Cue point name is: + event.info.name);
trace(Cue point type is: + event.info.type);
}
if using from Flash IDE, don't forget: import fl.video.VideoEvent;
import
fl.video.MetadataEvent;
