| Introduction |
|
This
brief tutorial contains an .FLA
file that you can download and use for
your own projects. The file below is accompanied
only by a fairly brief exUplanation of its purpose.
It will be up to you to examine them and determine
how they will be most useful to you.
In most cases, you can use the FLA as provided and you should only have to modify
the graphics and perhaps adjust the function slightly to suit your needs. You
will also likely need to change the size of the background graphic that the video
plays in, but the very existence of this graphic is optional. I like to use a
background graphic because it gives you a visual placeholder, allowing you to
position your other elements around it so that they will not obscure the video
while it is playing. The size of this placeholder (gleaned from the Info Panel
in Flash) can also be transferred to the Custom SWF dimensions in the Flix
Video tab so that all your parts fit together as expected. The clip that
the video gets loaded into is just an empty movie clip and won't need to be resized,
only repositioned to represent the upper left corner of the loaded movie.
We can't foresee all possible movie configurations though, so it could be that
you only use certain elements from this file. I personally use parts from this
file all the time. It is quite common for me to copy and paste either the Information
Clips that return information about the status of loading movies or play controls
that give viewers the ability to control the operation of the video. They provide
quick functionality and you can pick and choose which elements you want to include. |

| Flix Video Info Clips & Play Controls |
|
These
are modular play controls that can be copied
and pasted into your own projects in order to
control the playback of your Flix-encoded videos.
Also included are information clips that return
information about the status of your loading
movie, and in the case of the "Current Frame
Clip", it will tell you the frame that is
currently active during playback of your video.
They will give you values for the total number
of frames in your video, the total number of
frames loaded, the file size, and the percentage
amount loaded.
All of these clips use relative paths and target an empty clip that your video
gets loaded into with an instance name of "video". In order to use
them in your own movies you would want to place them on the same timeline as
the empty clip for your video. |
