This is a known issue, and there is a work around.

The implementation assumes that only one instance of FLVPlayback will have the fullScreenTakeOver set to true (it is true by default). No matter how full screen mode is entered, every FLVPlayback instance with fullScreenTakeOver set to true will try to take over the screen. If you have multiple instances on stage at once and do not want them to all take over the screen, then you need to have fullScreenTakeOver = false set on the rest of them.

Given that you have multiple instances of FLVPlayback all over the place this may seem inconvenient, but it can be done. For example, you could add a mouseOver and mouseOut event listener on each component, and set fullScreenTakeOver = true/false on those events.

Hi All

I am facing a weird issue while using FLVPlayback control. [Not sure whether its a bug]

I have created a class which internally creates an instance of the FLVPlayback control and sets the skin to SkinOverPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf.

In the main program I have created n instances for this class to load different flv files [just like any multi windowed application, with each window playing its own flv file].

Once I click FullScreen button the video loaded last always get in to full screen mode; irrespective of the FLVPlayback instance where I am clicking.

I have checked with the "activeVideoPlayerIndex" but it didn't worked out as while creating VideoControl instance i create new objects of FLVPlayback

package com
{
/* IMPORTS */
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

/*
* Class Name: VideoControl
* Author: Swapnil Joshi
* Date: 21-Jan-2008
* Significance: Used to play the video files.
* Version: 1.0.0

/* Class definition begins */
public class VideoControl extends MovieClip
{
/* VARIABLES - references to respective objects. */

public var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();

public function VideoControl(filePath:String, videoTitle:String)
{
//Video layer settings
this.flvPlayer.width = 320.0;
this.flvPlayer.height = 240.0;
this.flvPlayer.source = filePath;
this.flvPlayer.autoPlay = false;
this.flvPlayer.opaqueBackground = true;
this.flvPlayer.skin = "SkinOverPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf"
this.flvPlayer.skinAutoHide = true;
this.flvPlayer.skinBackgroundColor = 0x666666;
this.flvPlayer.skinBackgroundAlpha = 1.0;
this.flvPlayer.fullScreenTakeOver = true;
this.flvPlayer.skinScaleMaximum = 1;
this.addChild(this.flvPlayer);

}

}/* Class definition ends */
}/* Package ends */

There seems to be two solutions to this problem:
1. mute the volume before switching the active video player and then set it it back to the desired volume after the switch:
function next(evt:VideoEvent):void
{
foo.volume = 0;
foo.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
foo.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
foo.volume = 1;
foo.play();
}

2. Use getVideoPlayer() to get the video player instance:

function next(evt:VideoEvent):void
{
foo.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
foo.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
foo.getVideoPlayer(foo.activeVideoPlayerIndex).volume = 1;
foo.play();
}

In both cases, you should save the old volume and reset it to the same value instead of just forcing it to "1".

Would somebody please tell me why everytime i set the

visibleVideoPlayerIndex property I get no sound.
It's killing me and making me look bad at work!!!!!!!!!!

[code]
flvPlayer.load(introSource);
flvPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
flvPlayer.load(introSource2);
flvPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 0;

flvPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, next);
flvPlayer.play();

function next(evt:VideoEvent):void
{
flvPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
flvPlayer.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = 1;
flvPlayer.play();
}
[/code]

result:
no sound on introSource2
flvPlayer.volume = 1
and
flvPlayer.soundTransform.volume = 0;

and you can't set flvPlayer.soundTransform.volume;

is this a bug or am I doing somthing wrong?

An example using rtmp would be nice especially since it seems there are none out there using AS3 and FMS 3.

This is the only class I've ever seen that (script-)loads externals realtive to the SWF, not the container.
If your movie doesn't load, but you're looking right at it, and your SWF is in a subdir of the container - don't jump out the window, just prepend the src string with a "../" for each dir it needs to go up from the SWF to get to the container.
Voila - it's all container-relative again, and your movie es bueno

Got weird problem. When the stage is resized, the hitArea of FLVPlayback instance skin floats away. So i can't make the skin controls visible (with skinAutoHide = true).

skinScaleMaximum fails with Flex Builder 3 Beta 2.

In Actionscript 2.0 skins, you could define extra graphics to position along
side the controls (like a logo, for instance) by naming the movie clips
fg1_mc (forground) or bg1_mc (background). This doesn't seem to be
working in Actionscript 3.0, is there a way to add other images to a skin
besides the actual controls?
