Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you.  You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock.  I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline.  When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0.  Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock.  To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar.  I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range.  50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it.  So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!
Fred

  • Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ?

    i am trying to develop a video player so i just thought Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ? , coz when i tried media element it is supporting only mp4 & avi formats.

    Here is a list of Media Foundation codecs
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757927(v=vs.85).aspx
    For the rest of the formats you have you write your own MFT-based codec and ship the codec with your app. See also
    implementing a Codec MFT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757274(v=vs.85).aspx)
    Media extensions sample (https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Media-extensions-sample-7b466096)
    MKV and FLV are just container formats, though, you need to survey some video files to see what video codecs are actually in streams and support them one by one. Supporting some proprietary video formats may involve licensing costs from patent holders.

  • Is there a way to play a MIDI file?

    I would love to use Mainstage2 but is there any way to play a midi file now? I have an external DMX controller that gets it commands from MIDI and is programed to match the playback tracks. So far my only solutions have been to use Ableton LIVE or DP.
    Thanks
    Chris

    If you're still looking for a solution to this problem, you should try out the newest version of SysEx Librarian (http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/). There is an option in the preferences to enable a column where you can set a program change number per sysex (midi) file. Then you can set MainStage to route midi program changes to SysEx Librarian, and whenever a program change gets sent out (either by a mapping or because you switched patches) it will play out the midi. Works great for me!

  • Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

    I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name.  This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

    Jason,
    I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
    The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
    Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
    The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
    The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
    Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
    Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
    The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
    I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
    If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.

  • Is There a way to play Windows Media files on the IMac?

    Windows Media Player 9 does not work for intel model, neither do the Quicktime components. Any other alternatives?

    I have had good luck converting the WMA files to mp3s, which my iTunes see and play with no problem.
    Here is how.
    1. Open WMP9 and select copy from CD
    2. from the TOOLS menu at the top select OPTIONS
    3. From OPTIONS select the COPY MUSIC tab.
    4. In the COPY MUSIC page half way down under "copy settings" you will
    see a radio window with a drop down menu. The window is labeled
    FORMAT.
    5. Change the window (typically it is in "Windows Media Audio" to
    "MPEG Layer-3." There is a good instructional tip link right next to
    the drop-down window labeled "Learn more about MP3 formats."
    6. Remember to hit APPLY on the tab at the bottom of the page,
    then close out.
    Now when you copy music into your PC it will be in a medium that both the mac and the PC can use.
    Some notes: If you plan to copy music from your computer to use in your car stereo do so on a CD-R, otherwise there is a good chance the car stereo wont see it.
    You can copy all of your iTunes on a DVD+R, but only your Mac will be able to play them. It is a good way to archive them, but nothing else will play them. WMP9 won't even see them.
    If you don't have the original CDs and are trying to transfer music that is in WMA format you will have to copy it to a CD first, typically a CD that is a Playlist. Then reinstall it as an MP3. When you pull up your menu in WMP9 you will then see the same song repeated twice, but one will have a much smaller file space (the MP3). and will be labled as an MP3. I would suggest keeping both versions if you have the hard drive space, since many ultraportable devices anymore require on or the other.
    As for the WMP9 not working on the iMac, are you sure you activated it? Mine works fine now that I have 2 gigs of RAM. My iMac came with 512, and would routinely freeze up and crash on just about anything. Once I put 2 gigs in it, it became a whole new machine. It works about as well as any PC I have ever seen, and even better than some.
    I would strongly suggest that if the WMP on your iMac is not accepting WMA files from your PC that you call their tech help. Those folks are great!
    Hope this helps,
    Doug

  • Is there a way to split a Muse file so that 2 or 3 developers can work on the project?

    I would like to know if using both Muse and Business Catalyst we can split the work so that 2 or 3 developers can work on the project?  I know that we can use folders for each developer however by doing so it creates an index.html in each of the folders.
    Has anyone been able to create an environment for multiple developers on the same project?

    Hi Gaurav,
    I appreciate the reply.  The thread you provided is not quite what I was looking for.  I have a site that I would like 2-3 Muse developers to work on.  They would each get a piece of the site and we would somehow pull it together into one cohesive program.  For example we have an association made up of 20 villages.  One developer would work on the individual village pages, another on the overall structure of the association and a third work on the Amenities.  Everyone would need to be working at the same time using MUSE.  I don't think we want to be doing any development in BC.
    Anyone else out there who is doing something similar?

  • Is there a way to play a song for several slides within a larger keynote presentation?

    is there a way to play a song for several slides within a larger keynote presentation?

    Place the sound file on the slide and use Builds to change the images during the sound files duration.
    Inspector > Builds > choose an effect
    Delivery: by paragraph
    more options > start build manually or,
    use automatically;    and select a delay (the amount of time the slides  show). For example; if you have a 30 second sound file and 10 images, enter a 3 second delay.

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

    Purchased 'app' erroneously - didn't realize it was an app until I couldn't find the purchase in iTunes. Is there a way to play this truefire app thru iTunes, or burn it to a disc or somehow get access to the info?

    Not really - your best approach from this point is to change your password, make sure there are no other administrator users on the computer (System Preferences - Accounts/Users and Groups), and add a firmware password so that the computer cannot be restarted from another source (don't forget this password, or you will not be able to reinstall the OS or boot from an external drive).
