[RESOLVED] VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server

[laurabeth]

I keep getting this error in my output panel when I switch from one flv to another. I am loading up multiple flvs from an xml file.

VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/pause()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/pause()
at WEBTVtest2_fla::MainTimeline/listListener()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at fl.controls::SelectableList/handleCellRendererClick()

HERE is the code I use to load the xml file:

import fl.video.VideoEvent;




stop();
myList.visible=false;

menu_click.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openit);
myList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, drawer_open);
myList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, drawer_close);
selections.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, selectionsroll);

function selectionsroll(event:MouseEvent):void {
selections.rewind=true;
}


function drawer_close(event:MouseEvent):void {
selections.rewind=true;
}


function drawer_open(event:MouseEvent):void {
selections.play();
selections.rewind=false;
}

function openit(event:MouseEvent):void {
myFLVPlybk.pause();
menu_mc.play();
menu_mc.rewind=false;
menu_click.rewind=false;
menu_click.play();
closemenu_mc.play();
closemenu_mc.rewind=false;
selections.visible=true;

}
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("playlistXML.xml"));


function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
var playlistXML:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
var item:XML;
for each (item in playlistXML.videoname) {
trace("item: "+item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString());
trace("item:"+item.attribute("longdesc").toXMLStri ng());
this.selections.selection_desc.text = (item.attribute("longdesc").toXMLString());
titletext.text = (item.attribute("titletext").toXMLString());


myList.addItem({label:item.attribute("desc").toXML String(),
data: item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString(),
text:item.attribute("titletext").toXMLString(),
text:item.attribute("longdesc").toXMLString()});

}
//select the first video
myList.selectedIndex = 0;
//And automatically play it
myFLVPlybk.play(myList.selectedItem.data);
this.selections.selection_desc.text = (myList.selectedItem.text);
titletext.text = (myList.selectedItem.text);


}

//Add a listener to detect when new video is selected and play it
function listListener(event:Event) {
myFLVPlybk.play(event.target.selectedItem.data);
this.selections.selection_desc.text = (event.target.selectedItem.text);
titletext.text = (event.target.selectedItem.text);

menu_mc.rewind = true;
closemenu_mc.rewind=true;
menu_click.rewind = true;
selections.visible=false;
titletext.visible=true;
menu_mc.flv.my_player.pause();

}
myList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);


closemenu_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeit);
function closeit(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu_mc.rewind=true;
closemenu_mc.rewind=true;
menu_click.rewind=true;
selections.visible=false;

}


myFLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidComplete);


// listen for complete event; play next video
function vidComplete(eventObject:VideoEvent):void {
if (myList.selectedIndex < myList.length-1) {
myList.selectedIndex = myList.selectedIndex+1;
myList.scrollToIndex(myList.selectedIndex);
myFLVPlybk.play(myList.selectedItem.data);
this.selections.selection_desc.text = (myList.selectedItem.text);
titletext.text = (myList.selectedItem.text);
}



}

My flv componenets name is obviously myFLVPlybk and the list is myList ...

[laurabeth]

I think this is resolved - I'm not sure yet. does it make sense that I would only get that error when testing the movie - or when playing it on the staging server? WHen I threw it up online it worked with no errors ...?

I am getting this error:


VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/stop()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/stop()
at test14_fla::MainTimeline/clearBigImage()


For me its working fine offline but doesn't work online

Please help

this is my code what it does is on clicking innovations tab it plays video from xml list

[laurabeth]

In your xml file try using the full path instead of just the file name...

try using instead of just example.flv try using http://something/something/example.flv

does this make sense?

[hanszorg2]

Thank you Laurabeth

Will update you if that works. Wish me luck
