[Flashcoders] Flash Video Gallery Problem
Hi All I am developing a video Gallery in AS 3.0. - I am providing thumbnails and XML is loading external FLvs in those thumbnails . - The user can either double click or click and drag thumbnail to play the main video above the particular line. - I am calling external SWFs in the UIloader component for playing the main video. That UIloader will be called when the user either double clicks on thumbnail or click and drag the thumbnail. - Also user can drag the main video wherever he wants, and he can drop the main back to the thumbnails too( which will unload the video player). My problem is that everything is working fine when i run the FLA file, but when i closed my application and try to run the individual SWF file, the file does not work ( its just crashing). There are no frames I am using so that's for sure that i did not forget to put stop frame. All of my code is in the main time line and I haven't used any custom classes yet, which means everything is in the actions window. Am i using the right tool for such a big application? Should I switch to FLEX for compiling this file. i am not that familiar with FLEX working environment too. Please help me out what i am doing wrong and i apologize that I could not mail you the code because the file is very very big. Also if any better tool is available for this please let me know. Any kind of help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot Anuj ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Video Gallery Problem
Hi, Your standalone Flash Player may be different from the one used by the IDE... If you are on Windows, you can install Kewbee's Plugin Switcher to see which versions of each are running. Download from here: http://www.pluginswitcher.de/ If you install it, start the program, wait for it to disappear, then double click the icon that appears in your taskbar, you can see what players are installed. If you want, you can also use this to switch versions of Flash Player for testing in browsers, etc. This is a bit tricky to set up - you have to install a version of the Flash player for your browser, then start each browser that uses it, then close the browser, then uninstall the player for the browser and repeat for each version of the player you want to use. You can download old flash players from the adobe site - when you get upto version 8 9, there are different sub-versions for different browsers - this confused me for a while... http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ The Archived versions link is on the RHS, it was temporarily unavailable when I just looked, but try later - direct link here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14266 Uninstall information here (broken again) http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 Glen anuj sharma wrote: Hi All I am developing a video Gallery in AS 3.0. - I am providing thumbnails and XML is loading external FLvs in those thumbnails . - The user can either double click or click and drag thumbnail to play the main video above the particular line. - I am calling external SWFs in the UIloader component for playing the main video.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Video Gallery Problem
If you are on Windows, you can install Kewbee's Plugin Switcher to see which versions of each are running. Download from here: Man, use that thing with caution though, it was pretty buggy when I used it last (about a year ago) and it didn't account for all versions, and it messed up my install somehow. Cool tool though, if they fixed the problems with it, worth checking into.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Video Gallery Problem
Hi Glenn I am currently focussed on running SWF but not Browser version beacuse in the end i have to publish an exe of FLA file and give it to the management for analysis. Also I checked the Kewbee's Plugin Switcher and it shows i have 3 player versions installed 8.0 r22, 9.0 r115 amd 6.0r21. What i did I right click on the SWF and try to run with all the players but none of them work. I am not expert in flash but isn't that true that if Fla file is working by hitting ctrl+enter, the independent SWF file should also work. And I used Action Script 3.0, shouldn't my file just work with player 9.0.r115 which is the most updated player. Please help me out in figuring out where I am wrong. I will highly appreciate your help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Video Gallery Problem
Hi, You should have a flash player plugin for each browser, maybe one standalone one IDE version. You can't change the IDE version, but if this is different from the standalone one you may have problems. Ctrl + Enter will be the IDE one (Test Movie). If you double click a SWF outside of Flash, you are probably using the standalone. As an aside / for Jason - Kewbee Plugin Switcher is still a bit funny / a pain installing stuff, but it seems to be okay with everything but IE7 occasionally when it can't seem to install the latest version of the player properly... This may also be a problem with security - depending on your file locations and how you are viewing them. Have a look at the information here about security as you may have different settings for local, online and testing: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html You can use the Manager to configure your player.
