    <p>I want to use the following <code>load()</code> method that accepts five parameters so that I can load a small "excerpt" from a larger video:</p> <p><a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/fl/video/VideoPlayer.html#load()" rel="nofollow">http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/fl/video/VideoPlayer.html#load()</a></p> <p>In particular, the <code>startTime</code> and <code>duration</code> parameters seem to be what I need, but I am getting errors that seem to indicate that I don't have the right object/version of something, even though the Adobe docs say that it should work. Here are my steps:</p> <ul> <li>Start a new, blank FLA document (AS3).</li> <li>Drag an FLVPlayback component to the stage and name it vPlayer.</li> <li><p>Create a new layer and add Actionscript in frame 1:</p> <pre><code>import fl.video.*; var innerPlayer = vPlayer.getVideoPlayer(vPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex); trace(innerPlayer); // "[object VideoPlayer]" appears in Output window innerPlayer.load( "RTMP://..." , 0 // totalTime , false // isLive , 60 // startTime , 10 // duration ); </code></pre></li> </ul> <p>This should give me a ten-second clip starting from the one-minute mark, but I keep getting errors like <code>ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on fl.video::VideoPlayer/load(). Expected 1, got 5.</code></p> <p>I've also tried casting innerPlayer to fl.video.VideoPlayer, but that doesn't work.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDITS</strong>: Even though I'm on CS4/AS3 and the documentation claims to apply to CS4/AS3, the class files in my "Component Source" folder don't seem to match the documentation. I also tried this in CS6, and I got <em>"1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 3."</em> </p> <p>@SunilD. - For CS4: <code>FLVPlayback.VERSION</code>=2.1.0.19, and I am targeting Flash Player 10 (the most recent available)+AS3. For CS6, <code>FLVPlayback.VERSION</code>=2.5.0.26, and I am targeting Flash Player 11.4.</p> <p>In CS4 and CS6, the errors say that VideoPlayer <code>load()</code> only requires one argument (with two optional), and <code>play()</code> has three optional arguments. The output of <code>describeType(innerPlayer)</code> confirms:</p> <pre><code>&lt;type name="fl.video::VideoPlayer" base="flash.media::Video" isDynamic="false" isFinal="false" isStatic="false"&gt; ... &lt;method name="play" declaredBy="fl.video::VideoPlayer" returnType="void"&gt; &lt;parameter index="1" type="String" optional="true"/&gt; &lt;parameter index="2" type="Number" optional="true"/&gt; &lt;parameter index="3" type="Boolean" optional="true"/&gt; &lt;/method&gt; ... &lt;method name="load" declaredBy="fl.video::VideoPlayer" returnType="void"&gt; &lt;parameter index="1" type="String" optional="false"/&gt; &lt;parameter index="2" type="Number" optional="true"/&gt; &lt;parameter index="3" type="Boolean" optional="true"/&gt; &lt;/method&gt; ... &lt;/type&gt; </code></pre> <p>Other notes: Flash CS6 is up to date. Manually installing the FLVPlayback 2.5 component didn't work. </p>

    1. COwell, it seems clear that vPlayer.getVideoPlayer() is not returning an instance of a VideoPlayer. You can trying casting innerPlayer as such, but that won't work unless vPlayer.getVideoPlayer() actually returns one. Without seeing more code - it's impossible to comment further.

    2. CO@hunter - I added a trace() statement that seems to indicate that it is an instance of VideoPlayer, and when I force a cast, it does not return null. The code I posted was pretty much everything! I added an import statement at the top.

    3. COYikes - what a pain in the a$$. To be honest, I always work with 100% AS3 (no components), so maybe I'm not the best person to answer. However, I fired up Flash CS6, and tried your code, and got the same error(s). I tried to declare and instantiate a VideoPlayer object directly, and the load() function requested 3 params. Obtaining a VideoPlayer object through FLVPlayback.getVideoPlayer() resulted in load() accepting only 1 param. I know this doesn't help you much, but at least you know it's not some glitch with your component files.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
