Adding volume switch to Flash 8 video and stopping it play before it plays

Can anyone help me on how to add a volume bar that works on
Flash 8 video?
I have this script on the video:
myVideo.seekBar=mySeek;
myVideo.playPauseButton=myPlay;
myVideo.volumeBar = myVolum;
myVideo.stopButton = myStop;
I want to add a volume switch to my video.
Does anyone know what I need to get a volume switch working?
I´ve added a volume bar and tried to get it working but it
does'nt.
I also want my Flash video not to start but you have to click
the button 1st to get it to play. Anyone know?

Try this, worked for me:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/custom_flvcomp_03.html
Also, if you want to initiate the video to start with a play
button, have a fake player(graphic) and a stop action. On the next
frame have your video component set to play automatically in the
parameters, and have the play button you have made to goto the
frame with that component..

Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment

Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment.
The files generated work on development machine. I posted the same
files in hosted environment and flash will not show. I first
thought it was Vista 64 IE 7 so I switched to XP IE7 and same
results. Still it is strange the falsh works locally. I am sure it
is something simple that I am missing. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you.

Nickels55, I appreciate the response. Here are the
interesting facts. I had my hosting provider apply the mime type
and restart IIS. No flash video. I have Vista x64 Ultimate with I
think IIS 7 (the default IIS that comes with the OS.) The flash
video would not show in that environment until I applied the MIME
and then it WORKED. Yeah! But I still don’t have it working
on my web hosting provider with server Win2003. I thought it was
the hosting provider but I posted on my work server Win 2003 and
changed the MIME with a reset and could not get the video to work
there either.
I would like to try another angle here. Again I am using the
wizard to encode and publish the flash video. Maybe I don’t
have a settings correct. I can approach this a few ways.
1.) I can send my video to someone to post on their Win2003
server and see if they can get it going.
2.) Someone send me a short 3 second video that they produced
that they know it works on Win2003.
3.) Any other ideas? Surely someone in this universe has used
the flash wizard to encode a video and published to a Win2003
server. :)
I guess the other thing to note is when creating the flash
video I chose no controls (play, stop, pause). I want the video to
start when someone accesses the page for the first time.
Thank you for the help everyone.

How do you play a Flash video and then close the player?

I have a splash page that plays a .swf. At the end of the
video the home.html page is opened. As/after the home page launches
I want to play a Flash video and then have the player close.
I am willing to trade wife, children or beagles for the info.

Are these two separate browser windows? One for the Flash
.swf and a different window for the home.html document? Is this
correct:
1. show .swf in one window,
2. open new, second, window with home.html
3. show second .swf in first window
4. close first window when second .swf finishes
If this is the scenario, then no, you can't reliably close
the first window. You can use Javascript to close a browser window,
but, if that window wasn't opened using Javascript, then it may not
close gracefully, or in the case of IE, may display a prominent
error message.

Flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down, what would cause this?

After installing Firefox 4, all flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down. I have removed and reinstalled the flash plug in to no avail. This does not affect the playback, just the border of the video or menu box. Other browsers do not do this. Just wondering why this happens?

OK, solved the problem...
I '''''DELETED''''' the file LOCALSTORE.RDF with FF closed. Restarted and everything was back to normal.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple.

These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

Flash Video and Browsers

I have a Flash video FLV file embedded in my site and
published.
Curiously when I look at it in Fire Fox browser everything
works fine but when I look at it in Internet Explorer, after a few
times go back to look at the video again many of the links stop
working.
What is the difference between FireFox and Internet Explorer?
Both have Flash player 9 installed of course.
And in the Internet Explorer I am able to see the video as
well. Just links stop work after for a while.
I have changed the amount of disk space to use for temporary
files from 50 Mb to 200 Mb in Internet explorer.
It does not make any difference.
Can anybody give me some idea please.
I have sent out question before but my site is
http://1000arts.co.uk/theartoftaichi
The video page is under the top menu call Classes.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your message.
Is your computer Window Vista and do you have the latest
version of Internet Explorer of which mine is.
The links stop working only after more than 2 or 3 times
visited the video page.
If it is still working with you, I may have to a go to
library to use several computer to look at my site.
Thank you very much anyway.
I am very much appreciated.

Start Flash Video in stopped mode ...

Hi, I’m using a standard video player from flash8 and
the videos start right away when going on the web-page. How can I
define that the movie is stopped and you would need to hit the play
button before it starts. In the way that the first image of the
movie is shown in the player already at start.
You can download the .fla here :

Rich media (Flash, video, 3D, etc.) is stored in the PDF file in compressed form, and is uncompressed at the point of playback (i.e. when the video activates). This introduces a small delay if you're scrolling past a video, and there's not a lot you can do about it.

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,
Carl

Flash Video and 8.0.2 problems

Hi. I recently installed 8.0.2 but now when I hit OK in the
completed prompt box - Insert>Media>Flash Video - dreamweaver
either crashes or it does insert the flash player but it doesn't
work when previewing in IE 6.
Has anybody else experienced this? In 8.0.1 everything worked
fine - I am doing nothing different. I've checked the active
content scripts are in the right location but still 8.0.2 is
displaying nothing (the flash content) when viewed in a browser.
Any help much appreciated,
Mike

That's incorrect. Do you see the video here in either of
those browsers?

Flash Video and sub-titling

Hi Guys,
Just like to know, if anyone has done any project with flash
video with subtitling.
I have around 20 videos of 5 mins each, I have to put the
subtitling on the videos, the text for the sub titling is available
in Excel sheets, I also have the time point for the subtitling.
Is that possible to load the text dynamically from the excel
sheet or any other format at the given time point in the flash
video.
Any tutorial available for the above topic? please provide me
the link.
Thanks in advance
regards

b_pandey,
> Just like to know, if anyone has done any project with

I haven't, but I've done projects in which video had to be
synchronized
with other events.

Excellent; you're all set!

Not from an Excel sheet, no. But Flash can load text files
and Flash
can interact with databases via PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, and
the like. Given
the time-sensitive nature of your project, however, I would
put the
subtitles right into the SWF itself.
> Any tutorial available for the above topic? please
> provide me the link.
You'll want to read about "cue points" in the documentation
and online.
Here are two tutorials I found by Googling the terms "Flash
video cue
points" ...
http://www.mediacollege.com/flash/video/cuepoints.html
http://www.actionscript4designers.com/wmg3/cuepoints_briefly.html
The second one involves screens, which you probably don't
need, but the
*concept* is, of course, the more important part. The first
tutorial is
more likely to help you.
I would put all the subtitles into an array and use the
cuePoint event,
as described in tutorial #1, to populate the same dynamic
text field over
and over again based on strings in the array.
What this means is that you'll want to familiarize yourself
with the
Array class. Start small, at first. Start a new FLA
altogether and create
nothing in it but an array.
var subtitles:Array = new Array();
Then push items into the array.
subtitles.push("Hello, Ginger.");
subtitles.push("Why, hello, Fred.");
subtitles.push("Care to dance, Ginger?");
subtitles.push("Oh, yes! Let's do!");
Then use trace() to test your understanding of how to pull
information
again from the array.
trace(subtitles[0]); // zero is the first element
trace(subtitles[1]);
trace(subtitles[2]);
// etc.
A for() loop can retrieve them all. Just substitute the
numbers for a
variable that represents numbers.
for (n=0; n<subtitles.length; n++) {
trace(subtitles[n]);
And so on. Looking up the "Array class" entry of the
ActionScript
Language Reference will teach you about the Array.length
property used in
the above sample. All class entries show the properties,
methods, and
events available to a given class. Properties are
characteristics of the
object, methods are things the object can do, and events are
things the
object can react to.
Once you understand arrays, look up the FLVPlayback in the
documentation
and/or follow along in the above tutorials. Just realize that
you'll use
the concepts described to meet your own needs. If you prefer
not to use the
FLVPlayback Component -- and you may not -- look up the Video
class, and
also the NetStream and NetConnection classes to learn how to
load FLVs
without a Component (the NetStream class features an
onCuePoint event). See
also ...

Flash Videos and accessibility

I am working with a company who has a number of flash videos
on their site.
At present they are considering converting them to Real
Player to use the SMIL standard to add sub-titles for people with
hearing difficulties, and Audio Descriptions for visually impaired
people.
With Flash becoming a generalised means of diffusing video, I
was wondering if there was an equivalent technique to synchronise
sub-titles and audio descriptions.
Can anyone help with this ?

Yes, why not? There are some tools like this one:

This is ready to use solutions, so you don't need to know how
Flash
works inside itself.

Flash Videos and pictures in the same slideshow?

Is it possible to create a slideshow with videos and photos? I have a wedding decoration website which presents in the first page decoration venues, in http://www.drhousse.com i want to alternate flash photos with videos in the same slideshow, is it possible?

In Settings somewhere there's a Playlist option to show All Playlists - if it's only set for music playlists it may be ignoring any other media.
Will test later.

How to embed Flash video and control skin using HTML?

I am trying to use HTML to embed a flash video, however I encounter the following errors:
Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="
Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinOverPlaySeekStop.swf"]
Here is my HTML code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
     width="640" height="480" >
     <param name="movie" value="Content/example.swf">
     <param name="quality" value="high">
     <param name="play" value="true">
     <param name="loop" value="false">
     <embed src="Content/example.swf" width="640" height="480" play="false" loop="false" quality="high"></embed>
</OBJECT>
Whenever I open the page I'll get a popup window with the above errors and once I click "continue" it will go ahead and play the video, but without the control skin. Can anyone tell me how to get the skin to show up?

I found a solution at this thread. Basically, you just have to move your skin file (ie. SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf) to the same directory as your index.html file.
doghouseJim, thanks for the link. Although I didn't have to use swfobject in this case it is still good to know. Also, I didn't know that Flash can generate the HTML. This is a quick and easy way to see the video in a web browser and if you're using Firefox you can go to View > Page Source to see the code. If you just want to see the HTML, then all you have to do is go to File > Publish Preview > HTML and it will open a web browser where you can view the page source.

Flash Video and SWFObject

Hi Guys
I'm trying to insert a flash video file (FLV) that has the
controls as a separate swf using SWFObject. The flash was created
in Flash 8.
I'm not sure of the actual code I need to get this to work
though.
The html file that should contain the flash is
/Careers/index.html.
These files are in the /Careers/flash/ folder:
ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
complete_david_w_headshot_small_controls_over.swf
complete_david_w_headshot.flv
I have also tried inserting the Flash Video using Dreamweaver
8 (Insert -> Media), however, there were two problems in IE.
1. You still needed to activate the flash and
2. When playing the video, it wouldn't play the last 2
seconds. However, pausing and the playing again from that position
does play the remainder.
I also preferred the DW 8 Clear Controls Skin over the Flash
8 one, so is it possible that I could attach this somehow to the
FLV?
I'd really appreciate some help.
Thanks
Matt
