Adding Video(.M4V) and calling it using buttons

[graphias]

Hi Animatites,

Scenario:

I have three buttons on the stage and on click of each button a video will load and play. Can anyone suggest how can this can be achieved?

I have to eventually put all the files and ensure it can be played via a DVD. So the format I assume will remain as .swf. Is my assumption correct or can some other format recognize the button interaction as well?

The current video format is M4V. Do I have to change the video to some other format for animate to recognize it?

not m4v, Add or incorporate video in Adobe Animate CC

I created the stuff and it works perfectly fine from a Flash Player. However, the videos don't load, if I open it in IE or the Chrome Browser.

Code:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import fl.controls.Button;

stop();

txtTitle.text = "";

btnPres1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

btnPres2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

btnPres3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

function buttonClick(e:MouseEvent)

{

  var buttonIndex = e.target.name.substr(7);

  movieHolder.source = "Presentation1_part" + buttonIndex + ".mp4";

  switch (buttonIndex)

  {

  case "1": txtTitle.text = "XYZ1";

  break;

  case "2": txtTitle.text = "XYZ2";

  break;

  case "3": txtTitle.text = "XYZ3";

  break;

  }

}

attach a screenshot showing the directory that contains your fla and mp4s.

also, you can debug using the developer console in chrome or ie.

Ok. I have attached the Image.

Hi,

I was able to resolve the issue in IE by adding C:\ to the trusted locations. But it still doesn't work for Chrome Browser. I even tried it in Incognito Mode. It gives me the Flash Player logo and asks me to allow the file to Run Flash. When I say ok, nothing happens after that.

I am really not sure what's going on with Chrome.

chrome has its own embedded flash player so it's not unusual for it to behave differently than browsers that use adobe's plugin.

you should post on one of the chrome forums. they discuss lots of issues related to their flash player.

Sure. Let me try that.
