hey gayboy, you is homosex ual

[monoko258]

how do you do if you want to make one button that does both play and stop? 

[lonhosford]

Simple way is two buttons in the same place on two layers. Then you use the .visible property to hide the one you click and unhide the one you want to show. play_button.visible = true; stop_button.visible = false; for the stop_button and the opposite for the play_button.

@waheed101 gotoAndPlay(2) should go on the last frame of the animation.

If i only have a start button on the first frame and then the movie plays..how can i get the movie to loop so it goes to the second frame, i tried gotoAndPlay(2); but didnt seem to work...thanks

@lonhosford

thank you very much for taking time for me, I will check the programs you have suggested for now, wish you a nice day/night

[lonhosford]

@tooeasygerman Either as swf or flv it is a progressive download. Convert the avi to flv using the Adobe media encoder. It is a separate program or you can launch from within Flash Import->Import Video. Then Select On your computer and Load external video with playback component.

Steaming requires a streaming web app running which your hosting company does not provide. For that I would recomment Influxis service and they have great widgets for creating playback streaming.

@lonhosford

I have some digittal videos (avi.) I convert them to swf and then try to find a program to add a progressive player to them!

your first suggestion is of course reasonable (with digital video) but what if I put the videos on my website, does this way (flash video) mean: streaming? or a swf file?

the difference is that a swf file must be completely downloaded before streaming, but a flv player streams the video and use a player that is not allowed in my case.
