Flash video component problem

I used Flash CS3 to create an .swf that links to a .flv and
plays in a video component. When I upload it to my website created
in Dreamweaver MX, the video plays, put the component does not
appear.
My question is this: Is the Flash CS3 video component
compatible with Dreamweaver MX?
thanks,
JMH

Have you tried adding a "trace" message to let you know when cue point is reached?
Have you tested the functions separately to varify that they work?
Also I wonder about using
if(evt.info.name == "01CreditIn")
The .info part...
Here's a working example that on a certain "event" type cue point, fires a trace message and then loads a second movie
ns.onCuePoint = function(evt:Object){
    trace(evt.name);
    trace(evt.time);
    if(evt.name == "play_vid1") {
        trace("YO!Loading wide_holder!");
        wide_holder.loadMovie("rm/images/black_bear.swf");
    if(evt.name == "play_vid2") {
trace("YO!Loading standard_holder!");
        standard_holder.loadMovie("rm/images/sqis.swf");
Perhaps you can glean something from this.

Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver

I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
My setup:
-nvidia 260.19.36-2
-flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
-chromium 9.0.597.94-1
-xmonad 0.9.2-1
-xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

if you asking about a bug reported on arch linux bugtracker, then you are doing it the wrong way.
flash and nvidia are closed source, we can't do anything. A better place is to submit bugs to nvidia and adobe.
Now i see that nvidia 270.26 was released. Maybe you want to check that out:

I'm sooo close I can feel it: Flash Video upload problem

Hello all,
I searched this topic and found plenty of articles but most were unanswered.
Issue: I can play a flash video locally in dreamweaver MX by pressing F12 but not when I upload it to the server.
          The site below shows that only the player controls show but nothing else.
Here's the Site:
http://www.servicetoself.com/landing_pages/itsnotweightloss/itsnotweightloss.htm
Note: I uploaded all files that were created with Adobe flash into the site folder of the specific page (not the root directory of my site) including
        1. The swf (which works fine when i double click on it)
        2. The AC run active file
        3. the fla file
        4. the htm (created by adobe flash)
        5. the flv file
        6. the skin control file
These files are all in the path servicetoself/landing_pages/itsnotweightloss both locally and on the server
My Idea: It seems as the the swf file may not be pointing correctly to the flv. I found in other posts that I have to put the URL into the swf but have no idea how to do that. I don't see a "content path" parameter in the component inspector and have no idea how to get to it. but maybe this isn't what I need to do to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Select the FLVPlayer component on the stage. Open the Component Inspector window. In the Parameters tab the Content Path will be the fifth item down the list. Alternately, in versions before CS4, you can use the Parameters tab in the Properties window and find the same Content Path.

Snapz Pro to Final Cut to Flash Video - Resolution Problems

For my student job I'm supposed to make web video and I have a guidebook that explains how to do it. However, I have found some problems that have screwed up some things.
So I have captured video from Snapz Pro and I did this by setting the display resolution at 800x600 so that text can be readable. Now I set my selection capture at the same setting so that my final .mov file is 800x600 with good readable text.
The issue is when I get into FCP HD 4.5!
My final output is 480x320 MPEG-4 for flash video.
My guidebook tells me to set the sequence setting to 480x320, square pixels and MPEG-4 Video.
The problem is that when I bring in the 800x600 .mov file, I have pixelation problems and the video quality is markedly decreased.
I haven't been able to figure out the best approach but I need to change something for sure.
Any tips or ideas?

You in the same class with Timothy Mosbach by any chance?
Anyway, Timothy and I went through this exact issue in this thread:

Flash Video Playback problem in CS4/CS5

I need to put a Flash Video on my website, embedded in one of the existing html pages.
When my developer puts together a Flash Video in Flash CS4 or CS5 using ActionScript 3, the video does not play - t just keeps buffering (showing a striped appearance on the seek bar) and will not play unless I refresh the browser.
I've tried copying the code from the html page that came with the set of swf and flv files and that doesn't work either.
Just inserting the swf file into the web page like we used to do in CS3 and earlier does not wor.
I noticed that now with ActionScript 3 there is no ACRunActiveContent.js file.
Videos created using CS3 and ActionScript 2 seem to work just fine on web pages.
Wonder what i can do to use CS4 and CS5 videos and have them play on html pages?
Any ideas anyone?

Just to clarify:
Creating a Flash Video swf in CS5 (or even CS4) with ActionScript 3 requires the video to be embedded in the web page a bit differently than we were used to with CS3 and AS2.
While the newer versions of Flash do use a different method (using swfobject) when "Publishing" a Flash .swf, it is NOT required to do so. In fact neither swfobject nor ACRun... are required to display Flash of any version (AS1, 2, or 3) on a Web page. The simple single object method will work just fine:
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
<param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
<param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>
Both ACRun and swfobject are "Flash Detection" methods used to display some alternative content if Flash is not detected... they are NOT needed to simply display the Flash .swf.
However, you can't use half ACRun code and half swfobject code....it must be either one or the other... and either would display AS3 players just fine.... as would the single object method.

Flash Video Gallery Problem

Hi All
I am developing a video Gallery in AS 3.0.
* I am providing thumbnails and XML is loading external FLvs
in those thumbnails .
* The user can either double click or click and drag
thumbnail to play the main video above the particular line.
* I am calling external SWFs in the UIloader component for
playing the main video. That UIloader will be called when the user
either double clicks on thumbnail or click and drag the thumbnail.
* Also user can drag the main video wherever he wants, and
he can drop the main back to the thumbnails too( which will unload
the video player).
My problem is that everything is working fine when i run the FLA
file, but when i closed my application and try to run the
individual SWF file, the file does not work ( its just
crashing).
There are no frames I am using so that's for sure that i did
not forget to put stop frame.
All of my code is in the main time line and I haven't used
any custom classes yet, which means everything is in the actions
window.
Am i using the right tool for such a big application? Should I
switch to FLEX for compiling this file. i am not that familiar with
FLEX working environment too.
Please help me out what i am doing wrong and i apologize that
I could not mail you the code because the file is very very big.
Also if any better tool is available for this please let me
know.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Anuj

Interesting problem.
I thought initially that this could be easily solved with Action Sequences on the imported SWF file. Action Sequences will control the visibility, play(), stop() and go to frame, it doesn't stop the audio that has already started playing in the imported SWF.
I worked around this by
placing an empty frame "0" in my Flash .fla with SoundMixer.stopAll(); in the ActionScript - then reoutput the SWF
Imported the SWF and then set an ActionSequence to go to Frame 0 and Stop when I exited the state where I wanted my SWF playing
Also set an ActionSequence to go to Frame 0 and Play when I wanted my SWF to start playing again
See the source .fla and .fxp here: TestingSwfSoundStopStart.zip

Flash Video Framerate Problem in CS5

I just upgraded from DW CS3 to CS5.
After inserting an .flv on a page, on previewing the page with IE, it looks like the framerate is about 15 fps instead of 30 fps.
If I open the page in CS3 and insert the video, it previews at the normal frame rate and looks great.
I am, unfortunately, an HTML illiterate, and have scraped by for years using only design mode.
I would definitely appreciate any thoughts on this problem.
This particular site has a lot of video content, so I need to solve this or it's back to CS3 for me

How do you know that the fps is 15?
As for a 40 min video being 600MB, that means that "roughly" the video bitrate is 2000kbps (2Mb/sec).
Unless you are just targeting very high-speed Internet connected viewers, that's WAY out of the ballpark for many viewers.
I'd suggest testing first at a much lower video bitrate (500-1000kbps).
Typically Web video problems are related first to too high a video bitrate and only under certain situation, the length of the video. Non the less, it's still a good practice to keep the videos at a reasonable length. It's also important that your media player be able to stop the video file download if you "stop" the video, to prevent the viewer from having to (unwittingly) downloading the entire video file, even if the viewer does not view the entire video. Test some of the players suggested.. but use THEIR suggested code for placing on the page.. not DW.
There should be nothing in DW that changes the fps of a video....period. If there is, then it's because something is broken.
So skip the DW supposedly automagic insert code and code it in by hand, which is probably a better idea anyway (and this comes from a dedicated DW user!)
I'd suggest using swfobject to place your Flash on the page instead of any code that DW suggests. swfobject not only provides for Flash detection, but allows you to provide alternate content for viewers that may not have the Flash pluggin... like the iPhone.:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
so you can play Flash on the iPhone....well sort of...

Creating flash video pages

Everything I read says how easy it is to insert flash video
with cs4.. just a few clicks and presto! So why cant I get it to
work? I have read tutorials until my eyes are bleeding and the best
I can get is a transparent flash
player with no content.. looks like a blank page until you
drag your mouse across it. I created a new HTML inserted the flash
video, uploaded all the files but nothing.. what am I doing wrong??
Please help.

The program you used to compress the .flv did not include the
required
Meta Data that the Flash video component requires.
If you're on Windows, you can insert the Meta Data by using
the free
program found on the following Web site. If you're not
comfortable with
the command line, download flvmdigui105.zip as well (it's a
GUI
interface to the main program).

There may be a Mac equivalent, or you might want to try a
different
encoder program.

Flash video path not working on Mac

Using the Flash Video component in Flash 8 I place my .flv in
a directory called Video and then enter the path into the component
as
Video\myvideo.flv
When it runs off my web site on Windows XP all is well but on
a Mac OS X it fails to play. If I place the video in the route on
the web server and alter the file path to just myvideo.flv it
works!
So is there a special symbol I need to use for the file
seperator to make it work correctly on both platforms?

Hi, Make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is Enabled for one thing. I'm not familiar with Webcams so can't help you with that.
If you have Installed Flash Player then test at this site to see if you can see the animation of the Flash logo and what version is listed.

Insert Flash Video using Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
If I were to import an FLV into Flash CS3, I would have the
ability to add text or images to the movie as needed. However, I am
testing Dreamweaver's ability to insert a Flash video directly onto
a web page, without the use of Flash CS3. I'm using Progressive
Download with the "Halo Skin 3" component. My question is: can the
Flash Video component inserted by Dreamweaver CS3 be edited somehow
using Flash CS3? I would be attempting to add text to the first
frame of the movie.
Thanks.

Buffering Problem with Flash Videos

We are having problems with the buffering of newly published FLASH videos (rendered using Premiere/Flash CS6 and using Windows 8 and explorer/firefox/chorme). Non-Flash Videos appear to buffer fine.
An example of this problem can be seen at http://healthwatchusa.org/HWUSA-Presentations-Testimony/20130215-KY-House/20130214-kavanag h.htm

1.Default of bufferTime is 0.1 seconds. Try to set the value higher and see if that solves your problem.
2.If you set your component to autoplay, you could get rid of it and start the player if the VideoEvent.READY is fired
3.If you have any code inside your swf that tries to communicate with other domains you should set the "allowScriptAccess" value inside your html container from "sameDomain" to "always"

Flash video problems in http

Hello,
I am having problems publishing flash video in a http server.
I am streamming video from a server using a MediaPlayBack
component. All works well till this point. When insert the swf in a
html file and play it using the "http path" (
http://..../dilo.htm), the swf
doesn´t play the video. Altought .swf and .flv files are in
the same directory. But if open de html file using the IP path
(10.12.134.../dilo.htm), it works.
Can anybody tell me why is this happening? Any solution?
Thanks

Problems with Flash video playback

I'm having a problem with Flash video playback, hoping
someone here can help.
I have several movies which I have converted to .flv using
the Flash authoring tool. I have then created an .swf for each
movie, embedding the .flv along with the playback component,
playback controls, etc.
I can open these .swfs using Flash Player and everything
displays and plays as expected. However, when I embed the .swf into
a web page and open it using a browser, the playback controls don't
show up, and the movie will only play if it has been encoded to
autoplay. I am on an Intel Mac, using the latest Flash Player
plug-in, and am having this problem in both Firefox 2.0.0.11 and in
Safari 2.0.4.
I'm guessing that the problem lies in how I have encoded the
.swfs into the web page? Hoping someone has a solution, or at least
a good suggestion!
thanks,
- sounddevisor

Yes, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Just to clarify for anyone else who stumbles across this -
the extra .swf files (which contain the skin for the player) need
to be in the same directory as the .html doc which is displaying
the video .swf. Hope that helps someone else!
