Comment on Playing Embedded Video In Reverse (Flash Player Bug) by Sandal

I am having the same problem. Although I have not given instance name for my embedded video, it still kindof freezes when rewinding. I thought maybe it is the matter of video size (1200×700 in my case). Could you share the code?
I have an embedded FLV with some timeline tweens (like subtitles) over the FLV layer. The movie itself is about 3 minutes long.

I have all of the AS entered, it does not contain any errors, but am not getting anything when I try to start the movie.

Perhaps I don’t understand the folder structure? I created a folder named ca with a folder inside named flashdev with a folder named DrawShapes…
Maybe this is not what I am supposed to do??
Any help would be very useful.

I had some trouble getting this to work at first because I forgot to set the instance name. If you are trying this and nothing happens see if you are having the same problem. Thanks for the article!

Need something recursive for complex objects.

FYI …AS2.0′s ObjectDumper was horribly flawed in that it didn’t enumerate nameValue pairs at the root level, which of course is the very definition of an associative array, and which are a part of hybrid arrays. ie – trace(ObjectDumper.toString({a:”aVal”,b:123,c:[1,2,"abc"],d:{a1:”bleah”},e:”ack”})) would output nothing – at one point causing me incredible grief thinking my code was faulty when it was actually OjbectDumper.

Ok so we need to build a Menu in Flash, lets hire someone for a ridiculous hourly wage, pffftt please.

Basic Menu, complicated code. AS3 is not for designers, that is all.
