Video publish settings on Flash timeline for iPhone?

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm trying to embed video on the timeline to do a short intro to a game app. The video is an FLV in the library and I have it embeded in the timeline. Published at 500kbs I get so much studder on the iPhone 4.. even when I publish it at half size frame.

Any chance with running full frame hd video through flash? any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dani

You could look for a deactivate event, and if it happens you could assume that the user doesn't want to watch the rest of the intro video.

Perhaps the default background color of a stagewebview is white. It may be worth trying the video embedded in html, that has a background color set.

Ok, I figured it all out.

There is a hackish workaround you have to do, and also it won't work in Test Movie. With this timeline code:

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

import flash.media.StageWebView;

import flash.filesystem.File;

var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();

webView.stage = this.stage;

webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);

var fPath:String = new File(new File("app:/MyMovie.mp4").nativePath).url;

webView.loadURL( fPath );

it will build and play fine on the iPad or iPhone. Assuming you added the video file to the package too.

I also tried it at a smaller size:

webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth/2,stage.stageHeight/2);

which gives quarter sized video, and the Full Screen button in the controller works correctly, and pressing Done shrinks the video back down again.

Hi, the stageWebView video is working for me but... When the video is playing and I go to another frame in flash timeline, the audio still playing, inclusive calling "webView.stage = null".

Any idea to solve this?

Try webView=null;

[ClaudioMontes]

With the two lines...

webView.stage = null;

webView = null;

Works fine, thanks.

Do you get the white screen before the vioed starts to play? I've tried both ways (with direct paht and HTML) and I get the white screen in both. Any sugestions?
