Question

I have been trying to play a video that was converted using http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/ to mp4 file , it is woking fine on the simulator but on the ipad i don't see the video.
How can I fix??
attaching Video code :
package com.view.generic
{
import com.constants.Dimentions;
import com.view.AbstractScreen;
import com.view.IScreen;
import com.view.gui.Btn;
import flash.errors.IOError;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import org.osflash.signals.natives.NativeSignal;
public class VideoMode extends AbstractScreen implements IScreen
{
private var _player:Video;
private var _stream:NetStream;
public function VideoMode()
{
}
override public function start():void{
super.start();
var conn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
conn.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler)
conn.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.NETWORK_ERROR, netStatusError)
conn.connect(null);
layoutPlayer();
layoutMenu();
}
override public function stop():void{
_stream.pause();
}
private function layoutMenu():void{
var playBtn:Btn = new Btn("video_play_button.png");
addChild(playBtn);
playBtn.x = (Dimentions.HEIGHT -playBtn.width)/2;
playBtn.y = _player.y+_player.height+20;
var clickSignal:NativeSignal = new NativeSignal(playBtn,MouseEvent.CLICK);
clickSignal.add(play);
var fullScrBtn:Btn = new Btn("full_screen.png");
addChild(fullScrBtn);
fullScrBtn.x = _player.width -fullScrBtn.width+_player.x;;
fullScrBtn.y = _player.y+_player.height+20;
var fullScrSignal:NativeSignal = new NativeSignal(fullScrBtn,MouseEvent.CLICK);
fullScrSignal.add(goFullScreen);
}
private function layoutPlayer():void{
_player.width = 400;
_player.height = 300;
_player.x = (Dimentions.HEIGHT -_player.width)/2;
_player.y = 200;
_stream.play("../../../assets/drum_ny.flv");
_stream.pause();
}
private function goFullScreen(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(_player.x == 0){
layoutPlayer()
}else{
_player.x = 0;
_player.y = 0;
_player.width = stage.fullScreenWidth;
_player.height = stage.fullScreenHeight;
}
}
private function play(e:MouseEvent):void{
_stream.resume()
}
private function netStatusHandler(e:NetStatusEvent):void{
if(e.info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success"){
_stream = new NetStream(NetConnection(e.target));
_stream.client = this;
_player = new Video();
addChild(_player);
_player.attachNetStream(_stream)
}
}
private function netStatusError(e:IOError):void{
trace(e)
}
override public function destroy():void{
}
public function onMetaData(info:Object):void {
}
}
}
Thank you!

Answer 1

This is likely your problem :
_stream.play("../../../assets/drum_ny.flv");
That file doesn't exist once you compile your app into a .ipa file. Try changing that to a web address of somewhere you can upload it to and if it works, then that's your prob.

Answer 2

The issue was resolved by replacing the FLV file, however I am still not sure why one flv file works and the other does not.
If you encounter such a problem (video works on simulator but not on device) your first bet should be replacing the video source.
