How to create audio, video, and photo in a list view format

I'm creating a webstire entirely out of Flash using CS5 for a paranormal investigation group. In the past, using a Website Tonight template from GoDaddy had placed either an audio, video, or photograph with text above each item discusssing the content. Now, they would like this type of feature in the Flash website. I'm new to Flash, but seasoned in many other Adobe products ... not that this helps ... much!
Anyways, the website is looking great aside from this one set back, so I'm hoping someone out there can give me a helping hand. I'm willing to purchase a third-party template, but to incorporate that into our Flash file, seems daunting.
AUDIO
We need to load an audio that can play, pause, rewind, loop, and stop at the very least.
Then have text describing the situation around the audio.
repeat ... and so forth ...
New audio will be added to this section every week or so, and all the components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new audio, we would add the new audio and text to the top of the list, pushing the remaining audio files down.
VIDEO
We need to load video footage with all the button features needed to play, stop, etc. I have found adding video quite easy, but to get the player to move with the text as the frame it is contained in scrolls down is another story. How do you do that?
Text describing the video contents will be above or next to the video player.
repeat ... and so forth ...
New video will be added to this section every week or so, and all the  components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new video,  we would add the new video and text to the top of the list, pushing the  remaining video files down.
PHOTOS
ditto as others
Thanks!!

As mentioned, building a custom application can be tricky, especially if you are not very familiar with Flash.
So you want a Web page with an audio player and selection list at the top (or where ever) and then a video player section, along with its playlist, and then at the bottom of the page you want a photo display area... Is that correct? and the scrolling you mentioned is because the page needs to be long enough to hold all 3 components? is that right?
Have you instead considered just using 3 different frames, one frame for each component and simple buttons to jump from audio to video to photos?
Or, skip the scrolling in Flash and let the html/css take care of the scrolling, just like any normal Web page. Just make the .swf as long as needed to display all your content.
Since you are new at this type of a project, I'd suggest you start small, take the project in steps... just build the audio player... then the video player... then your photo slide show..
Only after you have 3 working moduals would you but them together into one .fla
And yes, learn to use xml for ALL the data, audio, video, and photos.... very easy to update without having to re-publish any of the Flash.
Here is a good source for tutorials:

Flash and xml
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=13
learn to use NetStream to play your videos, much more versatile and powerful than using the FLVPlayback component
But learning how to incorporate xml into your Flash project is very important in a project like this. And then broken down into 3 components, it's really not that tough to build a project like this.
Best wishes,

  • How do I send videos and photo's from my mobile to the iPad via Bluetooth?

    I am trying to send videos and photo's to my iPad from my mobile via Bluetooth but it won't work. The phone pairs with the iPad but won't connect to send files. Do I need an app for this? I am not very technical minded so please try and keep the answer as simple as possible.
    Thanks

    The simplest thing I can think of is, a app called iFiles. It costs £1.79.
    There is a free similar type program called Dropbox, but this one requires a wifi connection to access the files etc you have uploaded. Whereas the iFiles app doesn't need any type of connection after the files etc have been uploaded.
    Once you have installed the iFiles app on the iPad. Connect the iPad to your computer via the usb cable.
    The iPad will now appear on the left handside. Left click on it. Along the top of the screen you will see, summary, apps, music and so on.
    Click on the word APPS. You will now see at the bottom of the screen a section called FILE SHARING, along with two little windows. On the left side box should be iFiles. Click on the iFiles entry in this box.
    Next you should see on the right handside window, iFile documents, at the bottom of this box is a button with ADD on it. Click on this and locate the files etc on your computer that you are wanting added onto your iPad, click on the SYNC button, they are then uploaded onto your iPad and they are now available for you to access wherever you are. You don't need any connection, i.e. wifi, cellular connection.
    Here's a couple of screen shot showing what I have explained above:
    Here's a link to the iFiles site:

  • HT4910 how to move my videos and photos from ipad storage to icloud storage?

    I would like to purchase more videos and music from apple store, however i dont have enough storage space left, i purchased more storage for icloud back up, now i am having hard time to move files of movies, photos and music to icloud back up storage and i still can not buy more movies or music. How to move things to icloud storage please?

    iCloud doesn't store movies or music.  It only allows you to redownload purchases from the iTunes store if you ever lose them (assuming they are still available to redownload, and in the case of movies, that the studio permits it.)  Also iCloud only stores your camera roll photos in your backup, which can only be accessed by restoring your iPad to the entire backup.
    iCloud isn't designed to do what you are trying to do.  iCloud is for syncing data across all your devices and for backing up your devices, not storing your data.  You use iTunes on your computer for that.  iTunes will add your purchased videos and music to your iTunes library so you can remove it from your iPad and add it back later if you want.  To save your photos you import them to your computer (and then delete them from your iPad if you want) as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

    Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
    I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
    I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
    I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
    Thanks for any suggestions

    OK, according to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
    your camera is supported by iMovie 9.  Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum.  Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

  • How to create a video of photos in HD

    Good day,
    I have a Canon 40D as a digital camera and I wanted to created video footage in high definition(1920 X 1080). But everytime I import my images in Final cut, I see to be having black stripes on the sides of the canvas. I've tried many presets, but no success.
    Is there a way to create a HD 1920 X 1080 from photos in final cut.
    regards

    You'll still need to do some basic scaling of the photos to fit your canvas window.

  • How to create audio video chat in shockwave

    I need to create a multi user chat appliation in shockwave

    xtras that will help me in getting this done.
    Thanks & Regards

    The absolute best way to do this is to build a simple web
    service control in Flash and embed it into your director movie as a
    cast member. At least this is how I do it. You can probably find
    the Flash code online for next to nothing.
    Maybe this tutorial will help

  • How to store videos and photos in external storage

    Hi,
    May I know how do I store videos and photos into an external hard disk so that I can free up my Macbook storage?
    Hope to receive advice on this.
    Thanks
    Stephen Lim

    Hi Stephen
    Yes there are problems with this
    A. external Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to be used for VIDEO as KLAUS1 writes.
    B. a FireWire or Thunderbolt one is better than USB/USB2 as they performs badly to me especially when filling up.
    C. DO NEVER - move or alter any folders named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Project's
    on DeskTop/Finder as this will break the connection to iMovie
    ONLY move Event's and Project's from within iMovie Application !
    D. Then the BIG problem - as I have no answer to - Video and Photos in iPhoto or Aperture.
    Moving them to an external hard disk - and at least MY iMovie can not see them any more - resulting in broken Project's - most probably beyond repair.
    and here I run into the wall of ignorance

    Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.  
    Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

    Hi there,
    Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum.

Here's a link to the Adobe Encore forum, where you're more likely to get help for this specific issue:

  • How do i create a platform to allow uploads of videos and photos for custom slideshows?

    How do I create a platform that will allow for uploads of videos and photos to allow the creation of custom slideshows?

    I built a System Message HTA for my previous employer that was used in a computer lab setting. It was a nice way to inform the users about things happening in the lab, as well as a nice way to ensure people knew who to contact if there were problems.
    The HTA lived on a network UNC and each computer had a shortcut to the HTA in their All Users Startup folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup). While you could push the shortcut with GPP, likes the others recommended, that's
    about all you should do with Group Policy. This was neat - I had the HTA run custom .cmd files (in a hidden window) when it loaded (the Windows_onLoad subroutine) and then when it was closed by the user (button press that called an ExitProgram subroutine).
    This allow me to capture who was logged on, how long the HTA was open, and what computer they were using. In a computer lab such as that one, it was nice to have additional way to track who was using what computer and when. Good luck and let us know if there
    are any more questions - I really enjoyed that project.
    Edit: Added additional info.

    Hi Brian
    You can batch process a set of prepared slides from Full Edit (see image) using:
    File >> Process Multiple Files
    In the PMF dialog you can choose filename, date, or description (caption)
    Make sure you choose a separate destination folder to your source folder so as tot to permanently overwrite your originals.

    Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do  I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

    This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
    Glossary For This FAQ
    This bit is designed for clarity.
    Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
    Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
    One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
    What is needed
    At the Mac end
    A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
    A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
    An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
    (hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
    At the PC end
    1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
    The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
    Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
    Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
    Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
    An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
    Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
    Between both of you.
    At least one camera (Mac end)
    A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
    Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
    Other tweaks
    For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
    This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
    To Start
    You should now be able to chat to each other.
    If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
    To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
    To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
    If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
    To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
    To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
    It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
    No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
    Summary
    For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
    NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
    Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
    Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable.
