AS 2.0 help with transitions

i'm wondering what the best method is to apply the same
transtion to multiple images in a photo based site.
i've created a fade in as my transition (see attached code)
and would like to apply the same effect to all images in the site.
thanks in advance for the help.

thanks for the help. things are working more or less....
just wondering how to apply it across several frames. i've
placed the code on the first frame of each image section, but it
seems to only work for that one frame. perhaps i'm not placing the
code in the proper section.
any advice?

Help with Transitions... targets="*" ?

I search through the helps and docs but couldn't find what i
was looking for.
I was wondering if ther is another or an easyer way to tell
multiple targets what to do...
Imagine that I have a 'Main' state and when you click an
'About' button, the 'About' state comes in... So i wanted all the
elements from the 'Main' state to become suffer a blur effect. The
fact is that writing all the components ID in targes (as the
example above) is a pain in the ***.
Example
<mx:Transition fromState="*" toState="*">

<mx:Parallel targets="{[loginPanel, registerLink,
loginButton, confirm]}">
Since I searched and found nothing, can anyone tell if there
is a way to pass all the elements to the targets attribute without
writing all them down?
<mx:Parallel targets="***">
And also, is there any command to disable all those elements
functions? Like making DataGrids stop working/selecting lines?
Thanks in advance

oh and to disable a datagrid or anything else i like to make
them look washed out or gray by simply creating a state with a 50%
transparent, white canvas over it, you wont be able to click or
interact with it as the canvas is blocking it and it will look
disabled as its colors and features will be "washed out", you can
mess with different colors and opacities

Help with transitions and fade in / out

I need help. I need some kind and infinitely patient personto explain, step by step, in simple words of less that one syllable how I can fade in my movie and how I can apply transitions between the clips.
I’ve tried, oh have I tried. I’ve read the manual, I’ve watched three video’s on youtube (they were bad!), found a lot of quality online help but I still don’t get it.
What I do get is random results. Like my movie fades in once then it won’t do it again. Like I get the grey transition box but can’t extend the transition beyond0.1 of a second. Like I trim my movie and the transition removes the trim. And so on.
So if some kind soul could help, or even point me in the direction of transitions made simple I’d appreciate it.
Many thanks.

Help with transitions.

I have used imovie for dozens of projects and decided to step up to FCE 3.5. After several hours, reading through several threads on this topic, and the instruction book, I still cant figure out how to put a cross disolve between to separate clips. I got it to work with clips I split with the razor tool, and get get transitions such as fade in/out to work, but I cant seem to do a simple cross disolve between 2 separate clips.
I prefer the drag-n-drop method for transitions like iMovie. I have two clips side by side and when I try to apply the effect it will only show up on one of the clips. It wont place the effect on both clips. I guess specifically I am having trouble placing a transition centered on an edit point. Is there a simple method to adding transitions like iMovie?
Please be patient with me I may need step by step instruction

First off thanks for being patient with me. My current project I am working with is editing wakeboarding video. the reason that half second may be important is because the clips are only 2-3 second long to begin with. But maybe I am not fully clear on how this works.
It is my understanding that in iMovie when drag a 1 second cross dissolve between 2 adjacent clips, it automatically pulls 15 frames from each clip and puts them into the transition.
When I click on a clip in the tl to bring it up in to the viewer and mark the out point on one and then the in point on the next, looking at the TL it appears the the content between the two has been removed. Are those frames now gone from the project? If I then put the two remaining clips side by side the cross dissolve works.

Newbie-help with transitions--ripple dissolve not acting right

I'm a FCP newbie and having a problem with ripple dissolve.
This is what I did: in the TL put clip 1 followed by clip 2. Took the video of clip two and dragged it above clip 1 at the point I want the transition to start. Click on the in point (where the transition is supposed to start.) Select "Ripple Dissolve." Render. And voila, the ripple dissolve looks like a cross dissolve. I experimented with selecting the transition and trading it for a number of other transitions and all of the other transitions work but every time I try Ripple, I get a cross vs the look of a ripple dissolve.
What am I doing wrong?

1) in one instance while the transition works fine, I'd like it to start earlier in the clip and the video to ripple while listening to the audio under. How do I do this?
When you hold the option Key you can select the audio seperate from the video and then put it on two other audio tracks. Then you can OPTION drag the beginning or ending of the audio to the position you want.
2) in another instance, the ripple dissolve works fine, but near the beginning of clip 2, the video fades almost to black, then comes back up again to full color (this is underneath the ripple dissolve)--almost as if there's a crossfade mixed into the ripple dissolve. When I take the transition off altogether, there is no crossfade whatsoever. Any suggestions on how to eliminate this crossfade?
I guess what's happening is that you still don't get the idea of handles completely. Clip 1 needs extra length after the cut (handle). Clip 2 needs extra length BEFORE the cut. (handle)
Do some googling on this topic...

I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Need help with CS4 transitions

Hi,
I am trying to use a cross dissolve transition. To make it simple, I have two clips. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. I've watched the Adobe TV tutorial and all the guy does is to select cross dissolve from the effects box, and drags it over to the clip on the timeline. I think I am doing the exact same thing, but when I play my clip back, I can see no transition effect played back.
Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place I thought, so I tried putting it in front of the split between the two clips. Then again at the beginning of the second clip. Neither of them worked, so I shut CS4 down, and booted it up again. I started a new project, and put two new clips in it. I put the dissolve transition at the beginning of the second clip, and it worked like a charm. Then to see if that was a fluke, went to a point about 3 minutes earlier in the timeline. So now I am on clip one. I go and make a cut in the timeline, and try to place another Cross dissolve at this spot. It appears to place the transition there because it creates the rectangular box, and it has the name cross dissolve in that rectangular box,but when I try to play it to see the transition, it isn't working. Go back to the beginning of the second clip, and that one still works perfectly.
I noticed that there is a difference in the appearance of the two cross dissolve rectangular boxes. The one that works has a single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right in the cross dissolve box, and then there are a whole series of diagonal lines that go from upper left to lower right all across the cross dissolve box . It looks like a whole bunch of dark gray and white backslashes. In the one that doesn't work, there is just that single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right. No backslashes on this one. What am I doing right in the first one, but not in the second?
I find that it will work perfectly if I put in a new clip. If I put in the Cross Dissolve at the beginning of a new clip that I add to the timelime, it will work perfectly. It is only when I try to split a clip that is already on the timeline, and then put the cross dissolve in at that point.
Perhaps it is not possible to do what I am attempting to do. Maybe you can't split a clip and place the transition at that point?

When I am shooting video, it is not unusual for me to be taping a scene of a mountain, for example, and then put the camera on pause, while I briefly position myself to take video of the river that is flowing at my feet. That is what is happened on this clip that I am attempting to put the transition in between. Rather than having the scene just instantly change at this point, from the mountain to the river, it would be nice to have a smoother transition then that.
My mind was working on the problem while sleeping last night, and I think I might understand how to handle it. It might have been too simple for me to think about yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, but would it not work, to insert the mountain scene from my source monitor into the timeline, and then go back and insert the river scene into the time line instead of inserting both of them at the same time. Would these not now be two separate clips on the timeline, and the transition could now be applied?
Your analogy with the DJ is very good, but it isn't quite the same. You are correct in that he would be only fading from one song to the same spot on the same song. In my case I am going from an image of a mountain to an image of a river. Same clip, but different images. I appreciate the help, and your thoughts.

Subject: Need help with CS4 transitions
From a creative standpoiint, I don't understand the desire to transition from one clip to the exact same spot on that same clip. That's like a DJ at a night club fading from one song to the exact same spot on that same song being played on a second CD player. What's the point?

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
Is this enough information?

Need help with lost iMovie project.

I was creating an iMovie project for school and needed to save it on a USB, so I clicked on 'Export Movie' from the 'Share' options menu in iMovie. I chose the type I wanted it saved in (viewing for computers) and then a smaller screen in iMovie popped up saying it was exporting the movie, or something like that. It took about a good 30 minutes and my project was a 7 minute movie with film clips, music, transitions, ect. I exported this project to my USB but when it finished it wasn't on there and when I finally found it on the Mac somewhere, I went to drag it into my USB but it said it was full. I then dragged the project onto my desktop and tried to open it to see if it worked. When I did the iMovie icon jumped once and stopped. I clicked on iMovie and it was still there in the projects screen. I then decided to close iMovie and open the project again from my desktop to see if it would play like a normal movie but once I clicked it the iMovie icon jumped again, opened but my project that I was trying to open was not there anymore and wouldn't open from my desktop file. I cannot open it at all and view it, it has been lost from my iMovie. Is there a way that I can get it back? Really need some help with this.

What version of iMovie are you using?

I need Help with a website I've created

I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768. Looks great on my screen resolution but if it is viewed on other resolutions the menu moves and some of the text above and below. How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

Need help with overlapping divs!

Hey everyone,
I'm working on another website and I have come up against a common problem for newbie designers from what I hear, the dreaded overlapping div problem! I have a 2 column fixed layout with a floating left div. My left div has my nav bar and various images. When my main content div has more content than the left floating div, the left div border does not reach the footer! Until now, I have gotten by with just hitting return in my left column div until it reaches the footer. I am sure it is not the right way to do it but it has worked so far. The problem is, now one of the pages has the left column div overlapping onto the footer! I did some reading and I am guessing it involves either the box properties or clear float which I am not too familiar with.
Any advice would be stellar! I know this is just another stumbling block to get over but I would feel so much better if I was doing it the right way.
Here are screens of my issue,
And here is my code for the page in question.

    <h2>Radon Gas Inspection</h2>
    <div id="paragraphFloat">
      <h5>What Is Radon?</h5>
      <p> Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas. You cannot see, smell or taste radon, but it may be a problem in your home. The Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. </p>
      <div id="apDiv1">
    <div align="center"><a href="http://www.epa.gov/radon/video/epa-epu.wmv"><img src="_images/psa_revised.jpg" alt="What Is Radon?" width="200" height="172" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>
    <p>If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, you're at high risk for developing lung cancer. Some scientific studies of radon exposure indicate that children may be more sensitive to radon. This may be due to their higher respiration rate and their rapidly dividing cells, which may be more vulnerable to radiation damage. </p>
<p> </p>
    <h5>Why Is It Dangerous?</h5>
<p> The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Surgeon General's Office have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon-induced lung cancer costs the United States over $2 billion dollars per year in both direct and indirect health care costs.</p>
<p>According to the US EPA, nearly 1 in 3 homes checked in seven states and on three Indian lands had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA's recommended action level for radon exposure.</p>
<p>The alpha radiation emitted by radon is the same alpha radiation emitted by other alpha generating radiation sources such as plutonium.</p>
<p>A family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/l is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site. (25 mrem limit, 800 mrem exposure)</p>
<p> At the 4 pCi/l EPA action guideline level, radon carries approximately 1000 times the risk of death as any other EPA carcinogen. It is important to note that the action level is not a safe level, as there are no "safe" levels of radon gas.</p>
<p> </p>
<h5>How Does It Get Into My Home?</h5>
<p> Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.</p>
<p> Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Sometimes radon enters the home through well water. In a small number of homes, the building materials can give off radon, too. However, building materials rarely cause radon problems by themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Radon gets in through:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Cracks in solid floors
    <div id="apDiv3">
      <div align="center"><a href="http://www.fullcirclehomeinspections.com/_assets/CitizensGuideRadon.pdf"><img src="_images/citguidecoverradon.jpg" alt="Guide To Radon" width="154" height="200" border="0" /></a></div>
    </div>
</li>
<li>Construction joints</li>
<li>Cracks in walls</li>
<li>Gaps in suspended floors</li>
<li>Gaps around service pipes</li>
<li>Cavities inside walls</li>
<li>Surrounding water supply</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h5>What Can I Do?</h5>
<p> Radon is a national environmental health problem. Elevated radon levels have been discovered in every state. The US EPA estimates that as many as 8 million homes throughout the country have elevated levels of radon. Current state surveys show that 1 home in 5 has elevated radon levels.</p>
<p> Testing is the only way to know your home's radon levels. There are no immediate symptoms that will alert you to the presence of radon. It typically takes years of exposure before any problems surface. </p>
<p>Let <strong>Full Circle Home Inspections</strong> ensure your family and your home are protected and safe from radon exposure!</p>
<p> </p>
<h5>Radon Myths</h5>
<p><strong><em>MYTH:</em> Scientists are not sure that radon really is a problem.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>FACT:</em></strong> Although some scientists dispute the precise number of deaths due to radon, all the major health organizations (like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Lung Association and the American Medical Association) agree with estimates that radon causes thousands of preventable lung cancer deaths every year. This is especially true among smokers, since the risk to smokers is much greater than to non-smokers.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong><em>MYTH:</em> Radon testing is difficult, time-consuming and expensive.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>FACT:</em></strong> Radon testing is easy. You can test your home yourself or hire a qualified radon test company. Either approach takes only a small amount of time and effort.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong><em>MYTH:</em> Homes with radon problems can't be fixed.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>FACT:</em></strong> There are simple solutions to radon problems in homes. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners have already fixed radon problems in their homes. Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs; check with one or more qualified mitigators. Call your <a href="http://www.epa.gov/radon/whereyoulive.html">state radon office</a> for help in identifying qualified mitigation contractors.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong><em>MYTH:</em> Radon affects only certain kinds of homes.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>FACT: </em></strong>House construction can affect radon levels. However, radon can be a problem in homes of all types: old homes, new homes, drafty homes, insulated homes, homes with basements, and homes without basements. Local geology, construction materials, and how the home was built are among the factors that can affect radon levels in homes.</p>

<p><strong><em>MYTH:</em> Radon is only a problem in certain parts of the country.</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>MYTH:</em> A neighbor's test result is a good indication of whether your home has a problem.</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>FACT:</em></strong> It's not. Radon levels can vary greatly from home to home. The only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test it.</p>

<p><strong><em>MYTH:</em> Everyone should test their water for radon.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>FACT:</em></strong> Although radon gets into some homes through water, it is important to first test the air in the home for radon. If your water comes from a public water supply that uses ground water, call your water supplier. If high radon levels are found and the home has a private well, call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 for information on testing your water.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>FACT:</em> </strong>A short-term test, followed by a second short-term test* can be used to decide whether to fix your home. However, the closer the average of your two short-term tests is to 4 pCi/L, the less certain you can be about whether your year-round average is above or below that level. Keep in mind that radon levels below 4 pCi/L still pose some risk. Radon levels can be reduced in most homes to 2 pCi/L or below.</p>

Please if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please please let me know! Since I am learning, I really want to get main concepts like this down so I am not constantly doing things the hard way! Thank you!

1) Regarding validation, what does it do?
It validates by telling you where your code isn't er... valid. Sometimes the results are a bit jumbled but if you work through them one at a time and revalidate, it's a good way to learn. If you fix all of the errors shown up through the validator you should end up with standards compliant code. Not necessarily the best, most efficient code you can write but at least it will be valid and it helps you spot errors that hours of code-staring never seems to find.
I don't use the DW validation tool because I find the W3c one easier.
The W3c validator has a check box of HTML Tidy which can tidy up your code but it's not always as easy to see what changes.
2) I know the <p> tag for spacing is wrong, I could just feel it in my bones. I just didn't know what else to do. If I <br> all the way down won't the code be just as cluttered?
You're obviously a born web coder!
<br> will bloat your page if you use them to position elements.
Here you need to get used to a) the Block Model and b) CSS positioning. Once you crack these, CSS opens up for you and becomes a little more intuitive.
if you have two elements on top of each other rather than push them apart with other elements you do it with padding and/or margin. There are things to watch out for here namely, collapsing margins but if you start to read up on the above, you'll get it.
I just thought of something. If I add a div in main content, align it to the bottom center with CSS, use a line break between it and the text above, and add the image in question in the new div, will the spacing between the text and image work itself out? I just really want to get out of the <p> bad habit.
Keep thinking! Web design is not like desktop publishing or print. Elements on a HTML page don't behave like paragraphs on a page. Once you begin to figure out why not it all gets a little easier.
If you want an image at the bottom an element you put that at the end of the content in that element. Then you need to ensure there is no margin, padding or border between the img element and the next element (your footer). HTML elements come with some styling that is applied by default in the browser. Many web developers include a rule like this:
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
This sets the margin and padding to zero of course and it's purpose is to override the defaults. Some people advocate applying similar rules to all elements and if your interested try googling Eric Meyer who has written about it online.
One of the key purposes of CSS is to take styling out of the page. It's leaner, more efficient for the viewer and the coder and helps with site management.
3) AP divs are weird, and I did only use as a last resort.
See? You're a natural!
The reason is I am confused by the float and clear float classes. My left column is floated left and that element is what I was having problems understanding. I tried to make new divs and float right but I screwed it all up. I am sure I am just not applying the clear float in the right places.
Getting the hang of floating is key to CSS positioning. You use a float if you want two elements to sit side by side on the page. It disrupts the "document flow." Ordinarily HTML elements are rendered one after the other, on top of each other. Floating an element takes it out of the document flow and allows other elements to occupy its space. When you float an element it should always have a width. If the element below it also has a width, that width has to be sufficiently narrow to allow it to occupy the space. In short, floated elements can't be wider than their containing element.
The clear property is used after a float to stop an element occupying the space left by a floated element. It works but confuses the heck out of me!
So that leads me to my final point. I am a novice too! I might have fluffed a few of the technical points above but it's pretty much there.

Help With Binding to 10.6.8 Server

I am new to server and was hoping someone could help me with the following issue:
My Company has about 50 Macs (mostly 10.7) right now. We have a 10.6.8 server that is running Open Directory as a OD Master. Right now, they only authenticate to the server for AFP share access. Every user here has a Workgroup account which is used for AFP only. The machines are not bound to the server. What I would like to do is bind the machines to the server and have the users authenticate to there already created user accounts. I want to keep their home directories local and just have them authenticate to the server (using their already setup accounts used for AFP) This would be for password management and manging preferences as well. I was able to bind a test machine succesfully to the server but was unable to have it login/authenticate to the server using an already created server account from Workgroup Manager. Any advice that would help me transition this would be greatly apprecaited. What are my next steps for making this happen?   Thanks!

This you will need to move or reset permissions for the user. Here is the issue.
You have a local account, mboker on a machine. This account is stored in dslocal and likely has a UID value of 502, as it was the second account created. (This all assumes that your local admin account was the first one created and is UID 501).
mboker has a home folder located at /Users/mboker. And this folder is owned by mboker, but the mboker from the local domain with a UID of 502. This means that the first are owned by UID 502.
Ah, so now the wrinkle. You have created a user named mboker on the server. This user has a UID of 1027 (as an example), has a shortname of mboker and is defined as a mobile account who should have a local home folder called /Users/mboker
So now the problem. When mboker (1027) logs into the machine, he paths into /Users/mboker owned by 502. And thus you have no permissions to do anything.
Aha! This is an easy fix. So first, you need to make the machine forget about UID 502. Now, the obvious way to do this is to use System Preferences > Accounts and remove the local user. But, you get a sheet that asked you how to handle the home folder data (DO NOT DELETE IT). Now if you choose to keep the data, it renames the folder from /Users/mboker to /Users/mboker (Deleted User) - or something similar. If you go this route you then need to change the name and reset permissions. So I tend to do a shortcut.
By the way, if you are a novice at command line, make sure you have a backup of the user data. While this is quick and efficient, if you make a mistake, there is no undo...
1: Log in as the local admin
2: Open Terminal
3: Become root with
     sudo -s
4: Navigate to the local attributes store by using:
     cd /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/
5: Look at what is in this folder with:
     ls -l
6: Near the bottom of the list you should see a file titled mboker.plist. This is your account attributes file. Likely this file is for the local account (user UID 502). Remove this file from the directory system
     mv mboker.plist /Users/Shared/
moved it in there just in case... You can delete it later once you understand the process
7: Restart directory services or just restart the computer.
8: At login window, login as the local admin
9: Reset ownership on the home folder by using this command
     sudo chown -R mboker /Users/mboker
Now, if you investigate before this step and looked at the mboker home folder, you will notice that it is owned by 502, not a user name. That is because we made the machine forget about the local 502 user so it has no name to associate with the account.
10: Log out of the admin account and log into the mobile account using Other initially.

Urgent help with simple BPEL process for reading data from database

Hello there,
I need help with BPEL project.
i have created a table Employee in Database.
I did create application, BPEL project and connection to the database properly using Database Adapter.
I need to read the records from the database and convert into xml fomat and it should to go approval for BPM worklist.
Can someone please describe me step by step what i need to do.
Thx,
Dps

I have created a table in Database with data like Empno,name,salary,comments.

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.

AS 2.0 help with transitions
