Looping an externally loaded video - H.264

Report · Oct 25, 2016

I would like to know if it is possible using AS3 to loop [ seamlessly or even slightly un-seamlessly! ] an externally loaded video - encoded as h.264

I have searched many leads trying to find out if this is currently viable. It doesn't seem as easy as I imagined it would be.

I have member of my team that knows some AS2 - and has very little knowledge of AS3. He wrote scripts for looping functionality in AS2 - however as we need to upgrade to Adobe Animate CC to use 4k video for a large touchscreen application - so we are trying to find out if looping video, loaded externally, can be scripted for in AS3.

It actually seems pretty crazy to me that such a feature is so hard to achieve. I would have thought that in today's media saturated world, this would be a basic and simple requirement.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. I need to determine whether to upgrade to Animate or to stay with CS5.5, and HD 1080p video.

Instead a FLV, generate a jpeg or png sequence from Media Encoder and then import directly to Animate timeline, no stop at the end.
