Insert Media Flash Video

I'm having trouble viewing a flash video that I've inserted
using: Insert, Media, Flash Video. I can view the video ok in IE7
and Firefox when I preview the page from Dreamweaver, but not
online.
http://www.swail.com/Untitled-1.html
(sample page with problem)
I have the video file uploaded to here:
main/KenBowden_Swail_BN1.flv
I have the Scripts folder uploaded in the root dir on the
same level as the page.
I've done this successfully in the past with other web
sites....what am I missing here?
Any help is appreciated!
Marita

  • Insert Media Flash Video... pre-loader question

    Hello everybody
    I'm desperately looking for a solution regarding the
    following problem: I've inserted a rather long flv video (insert -
    media - flash video) into my site. Visitors with smaller bandwith
    have to wait up to 30" until the video starts playing. I either
    want to show them a screen saying: "video is going to be buffered -
    please wait" or to include an adaptive preloader that shows the %
    until the video will start playing. How can this be achieved?
    Thanks for all of your input, because this issue is very important
    to me and time is running for the project...

    Can you divide your long video into several small clips or
    chapters? Then
    just put all the clips into a common player like this one
    from Coffee Cup -
    and loop them together.

  • Help inserting a flash video into my web page

    Hello!
    I'd love some help inserting a flash video into my web page. My web page is hosted by Viviti, templated, and edited online. I can add html to it, and I have the html source for my flash video. I also have uploaded the flash file to the server. Since I am very html illiterate, though, I need some help rewriting the html script so it can be published. There are two problems- firstly, no 'headers' or 'body' allowed in the script- these are already a part of the template. Secondly, I don't know how to rewrite it to refer to the uploaded files. It's also imperative that the full screen mode functions. I've pasted the source code for the flash video here. Please help!!!
    Thanks!

    What you basically need to do is copy the sections of content from the code you show into the template (assuming the template already provides the <head> and <body> sections of the page.  So in the head section of what you show, take everything starting with...
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    all the way down thru...
    </script>
    , inclusive (in the head section only), and paste that into the head section of your template.
    Similarly, take everything that lies between the <body> ... </body> tags (exclusive of the body tags) and paste it into the body section of your template wherever you plan to display the Flash file.

  • Dreamweaver - insert/media/Flash

    I have lost the same content on the same Webpage several
    times.... :( Here's how it goes...
    I have a templated html page that includes Flash and an xml
    file.
    In DW, created html content then insert/media/flash
    Preview - looks great
    Close DW
    Edit SWF/FLA in Flash and publish - same name/path/etc.
    Save and close Flash
    Reopen DW to preview and/or /edit html page
    The html content is gone and in its place I have the
    following message (in Design view)
    // Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support
    scripting // or for those that have scripting disabled. Alternate
    HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the
    Macromedia Flash Player. Get Flash [this, of course, is a link to
    Macromedia]
    So, today, in DW, I removed the Flash content first - deleted
    it, edited the page, saved & closed.
    Edited Flash, saved and closed.
    Reopened html in DW - same problem - html content is gone.
    Only the Flash content is displayed on page preview.
    I have had to recreate this page about 4 or 5 times and I do
    not know how to prevent this problem.
    Help! :((

    I just gotta ask... What are your Publish settings in Flash?
    It "sounds" to me like you are publishing both the Flash .swf file
    and the HTML, which is then writing over your html file. Call me
    crazy... LOL

  • Insert/media/flash - not hearing

    Hi all...thanks for reading this...
    have html file, insert/media/flash   puts in a swf file that has sound.
    when, in prop pal. click 'play' in the html file, and sound is fine
    am using root relative links and temp. file preview.
    dont hear sound when previewing locally.
    2 items on page: a pic and next to it the small .swf sound embedded flash file
    dont hear sound when uploaded.
    what do you think?

    Thanks ever so much.
    Warmly,
    Hope
    Hope you're having a nice day.....

    Dear Ned,
    You are a darling...thanks for answering...
    Ok, will do better here.
    Am using root relative site organization, and therefore have selected the option in preferences: preview in browser: 'use temporary file' (one has to do this when using root relative).
    Am relatively new to doing site development this way.
    With that in mind, am just putting a .swf file that plays sound, into a dw page, using the insert/media/flash
    this is how it looks: see above....u can see the flash file next to the picture in the top right corner.
    When previewing in this view, by clicking the 'play' button in the properties palette, the sound is fine and working.
    When previewing it locally, in the browser there is no sound, when uploading there is no sound.
    What do we think is the problem?
    here is actual uploaded page that no sound is heard from...lol
    http://test.mvvision.com/song.html
    Page that u click to get that page: Click: 'Song' icon

    CS3.
    Lots and lots of thanks dear one,
    Warmly,
    Hope
    p.s. how was that, any better explanation.....(-:
    it is working on this page which was made in a document relative site, previewing locally the regular way:

  • Inserting a Flash video and the Bandwidth Monitor

    I am new to Captivate, and I want to be sure I'm following
    some practical guidelines for inserting Flash video in my Captivate
    slides.
    I know there are quite a few variables relating to practical
    bandwidth usage--basically, we are creating elearning presenations
    that will have "talking head" videos embedded within. These
    presentations will be available for download via our LMS site, both
    within the US and overseas.
    I have utilized Captivate's Bandwidth Monitor to gauge the
    bandwidth hit each video slide is responsible for. However, I don't
    believe the numbers I'm getting back: because I've set each
    embedded video to "Pause slide till end of video", all the slides
    are reporting the same length in seconds, KB per sec and Video KB
    numbers.
    Can someone suggest a practical method for setting up the
    videos such that the Bandwidth Monitor can interpret them
    correctly? Can you also suggest a rule of thumb for maximum length
    for each slide with an embedded video (320 X 240) in it?
    Thanks in advance,

    If you chose FVSS, that means you're using a Flash Video
    Streaming
    Service and not just uploading video to your own server.

    You can put the skin wherever you like. All that matters is
    that you
    correctly path to it from the point of view of the HTML page
    that holds your
    SWF (the SWF that holds the FLVPlayback instance that uses
    this skin).
    > I need it to allow my skin.flv file to be in the same
    folder
    > as my vido.swf and video.flv files.
    You're uploading your video files to a Flash Video Streaming
    Service,
    which I haven't done personally, so I don't know what
    requirements this
    service places on you. Regardless, the location of the skin
    SWF file makes
    no difference. In the FLA that contains your FLVPlayback
    instance, select
    that instance and look at the Parameters tab of the Propery
    inspector. In
    the skin parameter, double click the cell to the right of
    that and enter the
    path to the skin SWF. It can be absolute (full domain name
    and filepath) or
    relative. If it's relative, pretend it's the HTML file
    looking for that
    skin, instead of this SWF file.

  • Insert Flash Video

    Using Dreamweaver 8 I have created a site with PHP/MySQL that
    is similar to YouTube. I am using the database to store the
    filename for each uploaded FLV. I have a search page which will
    return results listing page, and then go to a details page when one
    of the results is clicked. So, on my details page, I want to insert
    an FLV player using the Insert>Media>Flash Video function in
    Dreamweaver. This brings up the window where you browse for your
    FLV file and select a skin, etc. When I click on Browse, another
    window pops up which allows you to navigate to the file, but also
    gives you the option to Select file name from Data Sources. When I
    choose data sources and select the appropriate field in my
    recordset which contains the file to be played and click Choose,
    and then then OK on the previous window, I get an error that my URL
    cannot contain any special characters.
    I thought this could work the same way as an image place
    holder.
    What am I doing wrong? Can I have an empty FLV player on a
    page which gets the correct file to play from a MySQL databse with
    PHP?

  • Flash Video Insert Error

    When I try to insert a flash video via Insert > Media >
    Flash Video, I get
    this error message: "URL cannot contain spaces or special
    characters........"
    The link shows "../flash/test1.swf " - a relative path in

    Any ideas to the cause, or a workaround?

    If you use Insert > Media > Flash Video it is expecting
    a .flv file
    (although the error message is ambiguous to say the least).
    I'm fairly sure
    you need Insert > Media > Flash for a .swf

  • Insert Flash Video MUTED

    Hi,
    I have an embedded FLV in a Dreamweaver page, inserted using
    the
    Insert > Media > Flash Video menu item and using the
    Clear Skin 1 skin. Everything's been working well, but now
    the client would like the movie to start MUTED with the option for
    the user to turn the mute button off (or turn volume on).
    I've tried using FlashVars (value="volume=0") and that
    doesn't seem to work.
    Is there some easy way of doing this or do I have to go back
    to Flash and do it there?

  • Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

    Hi -
    I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage.  I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
    I'm going to: Insert -  Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
    In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle.  But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
    I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software).  This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.  This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert. 
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
    thanks!
    Stacey Stanley

    This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
    That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
    1)  Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters?  If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
    2)  Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file.  Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
    3)  When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server?  Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

  • Problems inserting Flash video

    I'm updating a colleague's site. In one of his pages he has a
    Flash video embedded. The code he uses is
    <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="342"
    height="291" align="left"
    flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Halo_Skin_3&streamName=swf/AirMilesTVad_NEW&au toPlay=false&autoRewind=true"
    quality="high" scale="noscale" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
    This works on his page in IE but not in Firefox.
    I tried putting the code into my page, with the relevant
    Flash file in a subfolder and it didn't work in any browser. It
    just put up a blank space the size of the video. I abandoned that
    and tried using the DW menu Insert > Media > Flash video. The
    dialog box asked me to browse for the URL of the swf file. But
    whenever I OK that, it comes up with 'the URL cannot contain spaces
    or special characters. Please enter it again.' I've tried putting
    it in the same folder as the page, and renaming it so there are no
    underscores or uppercase letters, but it still comes up with the
    same message.
    Both pages, the new and the old, link to
    AC_runActiveContent.js; both pages are ASP files. I'm using DW
    8.0.2.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Give us a link to the page, please.

  • Problem with Flash video in webpage

    I've encoded a number of videos in the FLV format(using both
    Flash Video encoder and Quicktime), using standard preset settings,
    inserted in webpage using dreamweaver standard - Insert Media -
    Flash Video. When I try to play the videos, online or testing in
    browser, the video does not play the whole way through. It'll play
    15 sec into the video and then stop, although it seems to have some
    of the rest of the video if you play around with the controller.
    I've looked on the Flash encoding forum (other people have the same
    problem) and looked on the site for more info but cannot find
    any.

    Have you checked to see if the FLV is the same size on the
    server as your
    local copy?

  • Flash Video Doesn't Work

    I’m having serious problems inserting Flash Video into
    my site (and I have uploaded the script folder and file).
    Background:
    I’m fairly experienced with most software, but I am
    totally new to web creation/web software. Code is above my head.
    I created a family site using DW8 version 8.0.2. I took an
    original WMV file and converted it to a FLV file using Adobe
    Premiere Elements 3.0. I’ve done this step using both the
    Sorenson Spark and the On2 VP6 codecs.
    With my newly created FLV file (grandparents.flv), I inserted
    it into my DW8 page using >Insert>Media>Flash Video. It
    drops in and previews fine locally using the Preview function. This
    process also creates the following files in my local directory: a
    skin file (Clear_Skin_3.swf), a player file
    (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf), and a Scripts folder containing one
    file (AC_RunActiveContent.js).
    I upload all these files to the server and, while the flash
    video works fine locally, it just shows up as a white box on the
    web.
    I’ve spent the better part of three days researching
    this problem and see that it is common. That said, uploading the
    Scripts folder/file as I have done does not solve the problem for
    me as it appears to have done so for others.
    As an aside, I can drop in the original WMV file into an
    embedded Windows Media Player on my web site and that works fine.
    That said, I don’t want to do it that way, I want to go with
    Flash.
    Anyone have any ideas.
    The page in question is at:
    http://www.strauss.com/Lauren.html.
    Any help would be appreciated….I’m at my wits
    end. Thanks.

    You have multiple instances of CSS and js links in the head
    of the page.
    Please remove the redundant ones.
    Your flash is not working because this file -
    http://www.strauss.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
    is not properly calling the FLV file from the server. By
    browsing directly
    to it, you will see that you only get a blank page.
