This is not possible with this currently.

You could put the still image in your video for however long you want it to show and then the movie follows after that. Then you only need one video. Just an idea.

Hope that helps

Hi I know this is a stupid question and I should have prob asked before I brought it, but is it possible to have the video play as an actual background BEHIND a HTML website? as if it was a JPG background if you get me.

Thanks in advance.

i am not much of an HTML developer, but I know that this is possible. I work with a team who have done it with this product on a few sites. If you google it there should be plenty of descriptions on how to achieve it.

Hope that helps.

Sorry about the delay in reply, my area has been inaccessible for a couple of weeks for some reason and has only just come back up.

hey, i’m interested in buying this! I want my website to have a resize limit though, for example if the user is resizing the window, i want scrollbars to appear if the window is less than 600px. Is it possible/easy to achieve with this file?

  • Bought between 1 and 9 items

hey there, i decided to buy the file anyway.

but there seems to be a bug in the code or something concerning the mute button. Let me explain, i set the the sound to ‘true’ and the mute button appears next to the play button. Before you hit the mute button (when the sound is playing) both the play/stop button and the mute button follow the liquid layout and stay at the top right of the screen no matter how you resize the window. But if you press the mute button once (to stop playing the sound), the mute icon no longer stays at the top right corner when you resize the window, but it stays exactly at the spot where you pressed it.

For example, if you mute the sound while the window’s size is half of the screen and you resize the window to fullscreen the mute button stays in the midle of the screen and if you mute the sound while the window’s size is the whole of the screen and then make the window smaller, the mute icon is no longer visible.

Please, help me fix that because i need the mute button. :)

Hi oxmedia,

This version only plays one video and cannot play YouTube as far as I know. To play a YouTube video I think you would need to use the YouTube API .

Hope that helps.

I would like to control the backgrounds from a button inside my .swf (I want to use my swf as my main file in my site).

what do you mean by “control”?

I might be able to help you, but time is very short for me at the moment as I will be going away for four months at the end of the week!

What do I need to do with the code to stop the video zooming in so that if the stage is not the aspect ratio of the video you get blackbars down the sides or the top and bottom?

Many Thanks

Aspect ratio is maintained but any ‘extra’ height or width overspills the browser window. To have black bars rather than overspill you would need to alter the code controlling stage resizing.

Hope that helps.

Ops I bought this thinking it supports MOV files. But it doesn’t :(

Maybe I can convert files to FLV ?

Also how do I make it so after the video is finished playing it gets redirected to a specific URL .

How do I do this please ?

Thanks.. Urgent

DHD
DHD Author

To redirect the browser to a specific URL ; on line 112 of BackgroundVideo.as file it says:

ns.seek(0);

This should be replaced by a navigateToURL() command.

Don’t forget to use a URLRequest for your URL parameter and to specify the same browser window use “_self”. Include the following at the top of the file with the rest of the imports:

import flash.net.navigateToURL; import flash.net.URLRequest;

Then recompile the SWF . Video files have to be in the FLV format, but you can convert MOV to FLV very easily and there are plenty of tools available to do this.

Hope that helps.

I was just checking your file but i was wondering how good works with other html elements on top of it. Especially on IE or Chrome ? Please enlighten me How would I set the Logo, Header Bar, Sticky Footer, etc. on top of the video ?

Thank You

Hi ogunkaptan,

I am not much of an HTML developer but it is possible to have HTML elements over the top of the video as a client I built one for has done this. Perhaps it is using ‘z-index’ and ‘positioning’.

Hope that helps.

Hi DHD ,

Followed everything but its not working..

navigateToURL(“http://www.google.co.uk”,”_self”);

Imported

import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

In BackgroundVideo.as

Recompiled the file but now the whole screen is blank.

Quite disappointing. Any help please?

Hi,

Just found out when I compile its throwing an error

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.net:URLRequest.

What am I doing wrong here?

Using Adobe Flash CS5 , Published on AS3 , Flashplayer 9.0

Ok I tried few things,

After searching Google I tried the following variations,

1.

navigateToURL(new URLRequest(“http://www.google.co.uk/”), “_self”);

This works but the video is not fullscreen. It plays in Original size.

2. var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“http://www.google.co.uk/”); flash.net.navigateToURL(url, “_self”);

Same results.

Can you please help me fix this please? Sorry for multiple posts.

Solution 1 should work, I have it working and resizing OK. Have you adjusted the code in any other way?

Hi DHD ,

I managed to find a solution:

Import the following,

import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mysite.co.uk/main.html");
flash.net.navigateToURL(url, "_self");

Compile and works like a charm.

Thanks.

OK, not sure why that would make any difference but at least it is sorted!

Hi DHD , Sorry to keep bothering you,

One last question.

I use Sothink video converter to convert my MOV files (Which I produced with Final cut pro) to FLV

When I convert it gives me lot of options. I have a video which is about 40 seconds. I want to compress and convert this to a standard quality (As it goes on the website) but same time keep the size small so it loads faster.

What settings I should use?

Flashvideo H.264 AVC HD 360p Flashvideo H.264 AVC HD 460p Flashvideo H.264 AVC HD 720p Flashvideo H.264 AVC HD 1080p

I also have video size from 160 * 120 up to 1028 * 720

So confused.

Any help is greatly appreciated mate.

Thanks.

The larger the dimensions the better the quality when it is enlarged but also the faster your server connection and the end user’s connection needs to be. If the file size is too big then it will take a long time to load and be a bad experience. Try out a few different settings and see what looks decent but works on a bad connection.

Hope that helps.

Hi DHD , I’m using a flv, I’d like video will not crop if window is not 16/9 proportion…(I need 100% but “exact fit”) Could you tell how do I do this please? Thanks!

This would require a little adjustment of the code and then recompiling the SWF . Personal message me and I will take a look.

Sorry about the delay in responding! Yes that should be fine, but you will need to edit the code.
