how to do online streaming using SWF files?

[zainy]

The code i am currently using for playing FLV files is as follows...

Code: Select all

ContentProviderFromURL ContentProvider =
                                            new ContentProviderFromURL(f_in_box__control1.AxCode, File_Name_Path_URL);
                                    f_in_box__control1.FlashProperty_FlashVars = "autoplay=1&way=http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv";
                                    f_in_box__control1.FlashMethod_SetVariable("FLVPlay", "any_value_here");
                                    f_in_box__control1.PutMovieFromStream(this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("wclFlashPlayerControl.res.uflvplayer_500x375.swf"));


Can we play swf file using same method? Please provide with the details..

Thank you for your question.

Can we play swf file using same method? Please provide with the details..

Do you mean, how to load swf from a stream?

For example:

Code: Select all

Stream stream = f_in_box__control1.PutMovieUsingStream();


After that you can either write the whole movie's content at once:

Code: Select all

stream.Write( ... );
stream.Close();


or create a separate thread and write the data buffer-by-buffer:

Code: Select all

while ( ... )
{
   stream.Write( ... );
}

stream.Close();

Thanks for the response,
Can u please send a sample code for this bcause i've tried to do it as per your instructions but its not working.
I want to play the swf file same way as flv file plays in f-in-box control by streaming like i pass the URL to contentproviderfromurl class:
ContentProviderFromURL ContentProvider =
new ContentProviderFromURL(f_in_box__control1.AxCode, FormURL.URL);

Please download it here:

See this part:

Code: Select all

Stream FromStream = this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Sample02_SWF_FLV_Embedding.Embedded_Movies.movie.swf");
Stream ToStream = f_in_box__control1.PutMovieUsingStream();

new FromStreamToStreamWriter(FromStream, ToStream);


Click to "play embedded swf" to see how it works.

BTW if you just need to load a movie from URL, use:

Code: Select all

f_in_box__control1.FlashProperty_Movie = "http://movie.com/...../movie.swf";

I want to play buffer by buffer. Because of security reasons we cannot download the movie. This method will download movie in temporary files.

OK, this example plays a movie buffer by buffer:

Man i guess i am not been able to deliver what i want, let me try it again.

I want to play "swf" movie from URL, It should not store on hard drive any way. Also want to play it as it is downloading.

Currently i am downloading swf into stream and on completion, i am playing it.

Thanks for response.

So what's the problem?... Create new System.Net.WebRequest, get a stream and start a writer thread, the things are almost the same as in the example:

Code: Select all

using System.Net;

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://blablabla");

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse ();

Stream FromStream = response.GetResponseStream();

Stream ToStream = f_in_box__control1.PutMovieUsingStream();

new FromStreamToStreamWriter(FromStream, ToStream);
