Allow embedded flash video to be maximised to fill the screen

I want the user to be able to click a Full Screen button like YouTube so that the video fills the whole screen.
I think this is done by using the code allowFullScreen but I can't get this to work.
Here is my code:
<div align="center">
  <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_3&streamName=video1&autoPlay=true&a utoRewind=true&allowFullScreen=true" quality="high"   scale="scale" width="948" height="596" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</div>
Any ideas how to fix this?

Flash is dead.  Nobody uses Flash video anymore; not even YouTube because mobile and tablet devices can't support it.  The trend now is to use HTML5 video which is supported by all modern web devices.  In addition, HTML5 video has default player and control bar which supports full screen mode (icon with 4 arrows).  So no 3rd party player is required.
To give you an example, copy & paste this code into a new, blank document.  SaveAs video_test.html and preview in browsers.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 with Video</title>

  • Why can't I view embedded flash videos on my MacBook Pro?

    I can view videos on Youtube and embedded videos on some  sites, but when I try to view embedded Flash videos on sites like CNN.com and NBA.com, I just get a black rectangle and nothing loads. I've tried this on all browsers. BTW, I also cannot open up tinted ads that come up in Google searches. I have the latest version of Flash, and I've deleted browsing data and settings and have checked "Allow sites to save info." I've disabled pop-up window blocker. I have no ad blocking software. I've installed the latest Flip4Mac plugin. I have even set up a new user account and tried these sites with that account to see if the problem goes away (it didn't).
    I have a 12 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.3 installed (though the problem started when I still had Snow Leopard). I have all the latest browsers and , as I've said above, the latest Flash. I've tried both Java 7 and Java 6. I should also point out that I can access these sites without problem with my office Macbook Pro, which is a 15 inch Core 5, loaded with the same software I have on my problem 12 inch notebook.
    Any suggestions?

    You have JavaScript enabled in all the browsers, yes? Have you tried launch the browsers in Safe Mode?

    Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
    Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
    Some other things to try are in this thread.

  • Embedded Flash videos don't work

    Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

    If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
    * see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
    '''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
    * disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

  • Jittery playback in embedded flash videos

    Embedded flash videos sometimes, though not always, play with a very jittery or juddery,( it's difficult to explain!), appearance. For example live streams in the ~BBC new website and sometimes in YouTube. in Youtube reducing the picture size seems to help eg from 480p to 360p. This option is not available on the BBC website but unticking the 'enable hardware acceleration' Tickbox in the Flash preferences works. This is the preference panel you get when you right click on a video when it's playing. I am running OS X 10.7.1 and flash player 10.3.183.5. The same thing happens in Safari 5.1, Firefox 6.0 and Chrome 13.0.782.215.
    Any explanation or common experience?

    HI,
    Adobe advises repairing permissions when having problems with embedded video. Give it a try.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • My embedded Flash video disappears when I relaunch MS Word

    I embedded a Flash video with a youtube URL into MS Word 2010 using the "more controls" button on the "developer" tab.  It worked perfect, exactly how I wanted it to, UNTIL . . . I saved and closed the document.  When I reopened the document, the embedded video was still there, but only as an invisible object.  I couldn't see it, let alone play it.
    I have replicated this in various editions of MS Word, on several computers, each time varying things like the location of the video (my hard disk instead of a URL), etc.  I also tried saving the document as "macro-enabled."  In every single case, the video works great when initially embedded, but once the file has been closed and then reopened, the video is still there but no longer visible, and therefore useless.
    Any ideas how I can make my embedded Flash video remain visible in my Word document, even after closing and reopening the document?
    Thank you!

    I suspect the best place for the question is over on the Microsoft Word forums, as you'll most like find a wider audience there that uses Word as HTML generation tool.

  • Captivate 6 Video Issue: "The flash video can not be loaded. The input may not be proper"

    I've already published this particular project with multiple videos embedded with no problems in Captivate 6. I had to change one video and went to re-publish the project. Upon completing the publish, I receive an error message on EACH slide that has embedded video:
    "The Flash Video Can Not Be Loaded. The Input May Not Be Proper"
    There wasn't any issues with the project until changing the one video that needed to swapped out. I also tried publishing this in Captivate 8 to the same results.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
    I am a little confused here. Are you getting this error while inserting a FLV video through Insert option or inserting a video through Video > Insert Slide Video or inserting a new slide?
    Re-linking means reinserting the video file. If you have already tried reinserting the video file, then have you tried inserting a different video?
    Also what operating system you have on your system?
    Thanks!

  • How can I make iPhone 4S Video's fill the screen when using them in iMovie 11 on My MacBook Pro

    Hey Guys.
    I am a singer songwriter from he UK.... I recently bought an Iphone4s, Ipad and Mac book pro (haha, apple hero, I know). I have always wanted to make the big jump to apple, just was waiting a little while.
    I am thrilled so far, it's all great. But, I use Imovie (i am still getting to grips with it, but the features are amazing) to make videos of me singing coversand original videos for youtube.
    The Camera on the iphone4s is great.
    But, when I import videos into Imovie11, the videos do not fill the screen in their original form.
    In some videos, I use the Ken Burns effect. Now, on the parts of my video when I use this effect, it fills the screen as it should do.
    Why do the videos in their untampered form not do this?  I have tried importing widescreen, original size, and Large, but it alwys sits in the middle of the screen, fairly thin lookin. It fills the screen when it's on my Iphone, I am very lost.
    plesse help.
    thanks.

    if i can offer any more info please just ask

  • Video image after compressor does not fill the screen

    I am trying to convert some videos from DVD to Apple TV. Frame size is 720 x 480. In FCP 5.1.4 when I view the clip in the viewer it looks fine, widescreen with black bars at the top and the bottom, image touching both the right and left edges of the viewer. In the Canvas, however, with Fit to Window selected it shows as a very small box with a lot of black on all sides.
    After conversion to mp4, it is even worse. In Quicktime player you can see the video window with grey space at the top and the bottom of the image. However, this is just a very small window in a sea of black. I would guestimate that this window is only using 1/9 of the total screen space.
    How can I get the video to fill the screen?

    The issue is the AppleTV setting. I've been working this issue for 4 months and can't figure it out.
    SO...
    I just encode it myself... I use File - Export - QT Conversion - BROADBAND HIGH and set my size in the OPTIONS button to what I want.
    Works great for me. And the AppleTV sees it fine.

  • Exported video never fills the screen

    I am creating a video from still photos, youtube and iPhone videos all mixed together.
    When I export the video, the output never fills the screen.
    I have specidfied H.264, and HD1080i for the output.
    Did I mention that I am a newbee, and just started using Premeire Pro CC two weeks ago?
    Thanks for any help you may provide.
    Larry...

    Hi Larry,
    Since you're mixing 3 different sizes of video, the desired output DOES play an important role from the start and will help determine what Sequence Setting you want to start with.
    You have 720p HD videos, SD videos, and "less than SD" video. I would recommend against exporting as 1080 HD unless absolutely necessary for some reason, since you would be "blowing up" ALL of the formats, and that loses quality. The 720p would look ok, but not the other ones!
    So at most, I would edit in a 720p30 sequence for 720p delivery. In the Premiere Preferences, there is a checkbox for "Scale to Frame Size" - check that and then any clips that you import will automatically fill the frame you're working in. For clips imported prior to that change, right-click the clip in the sequence and check "Scale to Frame" manually per clip.
    Another example, if you wanted to export to DVD which is 720x480, then you would edit as 720x480 so that the SD clip would be edited natively and the smaller clip would upsized a minimum amount. The HD clips will downscale fine. That would yield best results for SD delivery, rather than taking all clips UP to 720p or 1080p, then back down to SD again. Following the workflow?
    Thank you

  • Embedded Flash videos play on 32 bit Win7, not on 64 bit Win7, IE9 32 bit

    Hello,
    I have two PCs.  One is running 32 bit Win7 SP1, the other 64 bit Win 7 SP1.  Both have IE9 32 bit and the latest version of Flash 32 bit, 10.3.183.7.  This page http://www.iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,999739 and others at iorr.org have embedded YouTube Flash videos.  On the 32 bit machine, they play fine on both Admin and Standard accounts.  On the 64 bit machine, the embedded videos are only visible on the Admin account.  Standard accounts show an empty box with a broken icon symbol where the video should be.  (Note:  not trying to use IE9 64 bit.)
    I've spent a couple hours uninstalling and reinstalling Flash trying to see the videos on a Standard account on the 64 bit PC.  Nothing works.  Any suggestions?  Note that normal Flash videos work fine on the 64 bit PC Standard accounts.  Only embedded videos fail.
    During this exercise, I noticed that the 32 bit PC has the Flash Player Control Panel under Control Panel->System and Security.  The 64 bit PC does not have it there, but I can manually bring it up from a CPL file in the SysWOW64 folder.  Not sure if that's part of the problem or a different problem.
    Thanks for your time.

    I spent hours and hours on the same problem. My computer has a slightly different configuration. I am using Win7 32 bit, but experienced the same problems. Embedded Flash is working under Admin account, but not under other accounts. Many de-installs and re-installs, but nothing seemed to help. Until I found this internet post:
    http://superuser.com/questions/244316/embedded-video-is-not-shown-in-internet-explorer-9-r c-or-beta
    The solution offered in that post solved all my problems. Hurray!!!
    Solution:
    * Open REGEDIT
    * Find the following key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash
    * Delete the key
    * Re-install flash
    * Problem solved (in my case)
    In the replies of the above mentioned link another solution was given (in stead of deleting the key)
    * Right click the above mentioned key
    * Change the access rights and allow all users read access to the key (did not check this myself)
    In order to keep the solution safe in this thread, please find a copy of the info in the link above here:
    In IE 9 RC or in beta, the embedded video is not shown in the web page. I verified the security settings in "internet options". Did not find any issue. Please find the screen shot below. I am able to view the flash videos in Youtube. But, for some reason, in some sites the embedded video is not shown.
    I don't have this issue with Firefox.
    UPDATE:
    I am able to see view the embedded video in Admin account. But not able to view it in Standard account.
    UPDATE:
    As it works as administrator, use Process Monitor and filter the Status on ACCESS DENIED.
    This allows you to troubleshoot what key the iexplore.exe process can't access.
    @TomWij, Thanks for the suggestions. The Process Monitor hint helped to nail down the issue. When run with standard privileges, it is getting "ACCESS DENIED" for reading the key
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash. 
    When I elevated the privilege to Admin account, it did not have any issue. Then I uninstalled flash, deleted the registry key and then installed flash again. Now, I am able to view the embedded video in standard account.

  • Embeding Flash Video on other websites

    I would like to be able to share some of our website videos
    with other

    The idea is the same as Google Videos which allows a user to

    a Flash video

    Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
    Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
    or
    Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
    Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

  • Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

    Hi-
    I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
    turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
    straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
    Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
    the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
    around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
    might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
    from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
    style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
    with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
    How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
    appreciated.

    can we see this border? URL?

  • Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 is not displaying embedded flash video contents on Facebook and some other sites

    When I want to watch Flash videos embedded into Facebook pages videos are not displayed as they should be. Where the video should be seen there is only blank white space. Audio is running normally though. If I click FULL SCREEN video mode Flash video
    is displayed normally. Only in small screen modes Flash videos are not displayed properly.
    I have tried playing same videos using Google Chrome which is also using Flash ActiveX and everything is working fine there. Firefox which is using Flash Plugin also works fine. Only IE11 is not working as it should.
    I have already reinstalled Flash Player and disabled all IE11 addons but problem is still there. I would say this is not Adobe Flash Player problem as in Chrome everything works fine.
    Both the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player and updated IE11 are installed on my computer.
    Can you, please, tell me what should I do to fix this problem.
    A screenshot of embedded video:

    If I click FULL SCREEN video mode Flash video is displayed normally. Only in small screen modes Flash videos are not displayed properly.
    I would say this is not Adobe Flash Player problem as in Chrome everything works fine.
    Comparing with Chrome may not be relevant but it sounds like something about the screen size is making the Flash program act differently in the two environments.  Supposedly there is a debug version of Flash but I don't know if there is a debug version
    for the Flash that is embedded in W8.
    Is there a publicly accessible repro page someone could use to compare their symptoms with yours?

  • Very basic question: Flash Media Server vs. embedding flash video

    I'm hoping this is a quick easy question to answer:
    What is the difference between Flash Media Server and simply
    using a freeware Flash media player (like Flowplayer
    http://flowplayer.org/) that
    uses XML playlists to embed your Flash videos on a website?
    What are the advantages to Flash Media Server and how does
    something like Flowplayer not address issues that FMS can?
    Thanks in advance!
    Erik

    In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
    browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
    download on any web server
    Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
    it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
    things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
    the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
    copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
    repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
    if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
    ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
    download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
    will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
    though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
    request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
    gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
    Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
    an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
    essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
    get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
    satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
    info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
    drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
    movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
    Hope that helps.
