AC4 - Random Question - the flv files are played automatically! What is the problem?

I have a problem under AC4 - random questions created from a question pool with questions containing "flv" files - are played automatically (as if the "Autostart" option was ticked") If I move all the questions with video (flv) into a filmstrip, I can decide when to play the video. How can I deal with this problem? I need those type of questions to be chosen randomly but the user has to decide when to play the video. Any ideas?

i recently downloaded an album from itunes and from what it appeared, everything completely downloaded, but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i want to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what. what actions should i take to either repair the files or get my money back from itunes?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Inserted FLV files not playing in a published project.

The issue: Inserted FLV files display (play) when previewing a project but not in a published project.
My setup: Windows XP and Captivate 5
Questions:
   1) When in Filmstrip view only the movie playback bars show, not an image of the actual movie, is this correct?
   2) When I preview a project for the first time, the FLV files display (play) in Preview mode, HOWEVER, any time I preview the project after that, the movies do not play.
   3) When I publish a project, the inserted FLV files do not display (play), they only show the movie playback bars.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, all the files are in the same directory.

Want FLV file to play on a web page without a player. See my example

I need to play a FLV file on a web page, but I don't want it playing in a visible player. That is I don't want there to be the usual Play button and no frame. I want it to work and look much like this link:
http://www.personal-injury-attorney-los-angeles.com/
It is similar to those infamous "Mac vs PC" videos which occasionally play on the home page of NYtimes.com.
My flash ability in this area is limited. (I'm a Joomla pro but not a flash pro.)
Looking at the source code, I see various swf controller file links, and some javascript, I think. I have no idea what is in the swf files that may or may not be making it all work.
First of all I don't even know if it is possible for a FLV file to play above html and then disappear revealing the html when it is finished playing. I assume with the swf and javascript and divs this is possible, but am not sure.
Ideally I would love the complete code if possible. Or links to where I can find out how to do it.
Need clarification? Just let me know!
Thanks
Rowby

it's possible. but you have quite a lot to learn or you should hire someone. it's unlikely you'll find someone to do all that gratis.
if you want to learn, check the video class. it will let you play the flv file without a skin.
you can also use the flvplayback component with no skin. that will add to your swf's file size with no benefit except it's easier to use than the video class.
the floating and disappearing can all be done with divs.

Video files are playing audio without video (just a black screen)

Video files are playing audio without video. It just shows a blank screen. These same videos work just fine in Chrome, thogh.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

HT3775 how I get an .flv file to play on my Mac?

How can I get an .flv file to play on my Mac?

If all you wan't to do is view the .flv video file and do nothing else to it, video players like VLC and Niceplayer will do the trick. Installing the PERIAN extension to Quicktime will also do the trick.

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

If you erased or replaced your hard drive since iWeb was cancelled, then they are gone. Otherwise, if you have maintained backups then check those.
Usually such files are in the /Home/Library/ folder or a sub-folder.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

I just downloaded the new itunes update, now I can't copying TV shows purchased from the library to my backup computer, it says the files are invisible. Never had any problem doing it until the update.

Itunes seems to be unable to locate original file to play songs. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from file. Preferences/advance file location is correct. Some files are playing and others aren't with no obvious pattern.

Itunes is unable to locate original file when attempting to play music. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from there. Preferences/Advanced file location pointer is correct. Some songs play but most don't. I did move files around a bit in an attempt to share music with another account on same computor, however this did not work so have returned file to original location. Please help, I am way outside my feild in this one. Ta.

I have solved the problem. i think when I moved the media file back out of public to my account, I put it back into the wrong place and ended up with a media file inside a media file, inside another media file!! So I moved it again and fixed!! Now I just need to work out why i can't share with another account user of same computor.

Can it be possible that all flv files are slightly different depening on the software program used to create them

Hi All,
Can flv files be different and kinda awkward, if their produced in older or newer version of flash video encoder? Or anyoher software programs that can convert to the flv format?
If so, have any of you folks come across an easy way to fix?
Kind Regards,
Boxing Boom

Yes, I'm not sure if it's still common, but for a while different programs didn't add certain meta data to the encoded file, so you wouldn't know how long it was etc... The way to fix has mostly always been FLVMDI: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/

Getting .flv files to play in browsers

I have a website I just put up which is designed to show videos that I've produced. I want the videos to play in a new window in the local browser (using Target=_blank in HTML), and I thought the Flash plugin would recognize the files and play them. The files have all been converted into .flv, and the thumbnails each link to a video file, but the browsers won't play them. How do I get this to work?
The site is at: evanpetty.com.

Video is a weak spot for me, so I have to be careful about not leading you astray. You should be able to set up controls somehow for a player, but I don't know what that would consist of. Chances are you could use Google to find a tutorial... search terms that might yield good results would be "Flash FLVPlayback tutorial".
I know it is possible to build a player that has selections of different videos to play, and I made an AS2-based one without making use of the FLVPLayback component, but I could only have done it thru the help of a tutorial. Instead of choosing the component, in that version I end up going to the little list icon that's in the top right of the library and choosing New Video... that adds some kind of Video device to the library that I can place on stage and size. The rest of the dealings with it involve code. For that one, maybe you could find something using ""Flash New Video tutorial"

Some of my .MOV and .FLV files are missing audio

I have not touched these files, and yet some of them no longer play audio. Some .MOV files do work and same with .FLV. Why would just a few files be affected and not all of them?
What can I do to restore the audio?
Thanks.

The weird thing is that the audio once worked, so something in my settings have changed.
Over the years, QT support for MP3 audio seems to have ebbed and flowed with the times. I believe the latest upgrade(s) no longer contain internal QT support and may even ignore on of my older QT MP3 installed components. On the other hand, I believe Perian component package contains support for both the FLV file container and the MP3 VRB audio. Haven't really run any recent tests to see which components are doing what for specific files. I.e., I usually wait and do that if/when a conflict develops. (The old "If it's not broke, don't fix it!" philosophy.) In any event, mine are still working so this has not been an issue for me.

Mp4 files are playing back green

All of the mp4 files on my computer are suddenly playing back mostly green and pink video. I can hear the audio but the thumbnail and the video are green. If I hover over the thumbnail and press play they begin to play fine. I can then press the space bar while the thumbnail is playing and the file will open up and play normally using quick view. I am running 10.9.5 and also have the most rent version of VLC installed.

>I reset the TV but even it didn't work. It still didn't play the mp4 files
Did you do this correctly?
I mean you have to rest to default settings. In such case every option which has been changed, would be set to the default.
To do that you have to go to:
System Setup -> Reset TV
When the set powers back on, the Quick Setup screen will appear. Press OK to advance the setup and perform an auto tune.
Furthermore the user manual provides a list of Media Player Supported formats (page 93)
There is a list of supported formats for movie files and music:
_Music_ mp4 files are supported.
The files extension should be .m4a
The audio codec should be MPEG-2/4 LC-AAC
The max number of files in the folder: 1000
The _movie_ mp4 files:
The supported file extension: .mp4 or .m4v
The supported video codec: H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC), MPEG-4 part12,14
Supported audio codec: MPEG-1/2 Layer3, MPEG-2/4 LC-AAC and MPEG-4 HE-AAC

FLV Files Not Playing

Most likely you need to set up MIME type for the FLV file.
