Importing Flash Video

Image 1 - Importing .mov video & converting to FLV format

For converting a single video file to the Flash File (FLV) format, I use the Flash Video Import wizard.

In this project I used "Navigation" cue points for navigation and seeking, but can function secondarily like an "Event" cue. I used navigation because I need the functionality of both types.

The ActionScript shown at Image 1 (above) is for the x button in the top-right corner. It is to close the video screen and stop video playback. Note that if the video had audio and we didn't stop the playback, the video would continue to play and viewers still hear the audio.


//attach action that executes when
//the button is pressed and released.
on (release) {
//make the videoScreen symbol invisible
setProperty("_root.videoScreen", _visible, false);
//stop playing the video
_root.videoScreen.theVideo.stop();
}
