Alternative to Flash video in DPS (and video doesn't work)

Hi,
As the titel says I want to put a flash file into my Digital Publication.
I know .swf's aren't suported. I've tried to get it to work in Edge Animate or as a videofile but my Publication won't show any video if i import a .mov, .mp4 or .flv. eventhough the movie file is in the same fodler as the .indd file.
Im all out of luck here. So how would I get this thing to work? and why isn't my video working?
Greetings
Marc

I doesn't show me a poster preview and when im preview the folio on my desktop or tablet it won't show up and the .flv will show but it is frozen and won't play.

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:

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.

Flash Video doesn't work when burned to CD?

I'm using Flash 8.0 pro. I've exported a video as swf and
html and it plays fine from my desktop but the video doesn't load
when burned to a cd-r. If I click on the swf file I get nothing.
I've included the source of the html page.
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>video</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">



<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="550" height="400" id="cat_video" align="middle"><param
name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="video.swf" /><param
name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor"
value="#ffffff" /><embed src="video.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="cat_video"
align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
</body>
</html>

And you are sure that BOTH the HTML and SWF file are on the
CD?
I took your source and a dummy SWF (which I named
"video.swf"), put them on a CD and it works fine for me.
When you double-click on the HTML file on the CD, what does
the URL bar say specifically?
If you "hover" your mouse over where you think Flash should
be, do you see anything, like a tooltip saying "Click to activate
and use this control"?

Downloaded Flash Player several times and still doesn't work

A week or so ago I got a virus on my computer. I used Malware Bytes to remove it, and I also have
AVG. I run both of these daily, along with the updates, so maybe they're affecting my ability to use Flash. Ever since the virus, my computer keeps telling me I don't have Flash and that I need to download it. I've downloaded it many times now, but it still appears that I don't have it. I check in Internet Explorer Tools and Addons, and it doesn't even seem to show up in there. I'm using Windows 7. I even tried un-installing and re-installing. If I use Firefox, Flash works, but I prefer to use IE. Any help?
Thanks!

Hi, Sorry for the delay. Downloading that zipfile to your Desktop is only needed if you found that the Kill-bit was set. Following is part of the first message at the Kill-bit site that Pat put up.
open the registry editor: Start | Run | type regedit.exe
navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
if that key does not exist, then the "kill-bit" for Flash Player is not set
if it contains a DWORD entry with the name Compatibility Flags that has any value other than 0x00000000, then the "kill-bit" for Flash Player may be set
Following these instructions you are only "looking", you're not to do anything or change anything yet. You are just looking to see if that Registry Key is there. Like the Step 3 shows, if that Key is not there, then the Kill-bit is not set and you can just close that and you are done.
Do you think you can do that?All you are really doing by clicking on Start, then Run and entering "regedit.exe" in that space that opens up after you click on Run is regedit.exe (don't enter any quotation marks though) All this does is opens the Registry so you can look for that Key.
If that key is there, then let me know. The problem is that if that Kill-bit is set, then no matter what you do, you can't Install that Shockwave Flash Object, ActiveX Control for Flash Player.
Hope this helps explain it.
Thanks,

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:

Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

Hello everyone,
Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
Summary:
Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
Thanks,
Talha

Not all flash videos on websites work

Hi guys,
First off all, I'm really excited because I made the switch to Apple and Leopard. Yay! But I have one issue I can't figure out.
Not all flash videos on websites work, for example: www.x17online.com
Sometimes it's a blank square and sometimes I see an image but I can't play the video. I have flash installed so what's wrong?
Any help is appreciated!

Got a mbpro 2.4 multi touch, 2gb 250gb safari 3.1.x

Flash Video doesn't show progress or load bar

I need to show a progress download bar and loading stripes
when stalling/loading (eg like youtube and millions of other online
video) otherwise the user thinks the video isn't loading or
playing.
I've tried two things:
1. Creating the flv using Flash Video Encoder results in a
40MB flv. I then insert the flv into my page in dreamweaver. The dw
tools pop up and I choose progressive download and my skin etc. The
resulting page plays the video fine but there's no progress bar or
loading stripes when the video is loading/stalling.
2. Inserting the video into a flash file and creating a swf
which is then inserted into the html page - as per the instructions
by media247 on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=189&threadid =1332318
- no luck doing that either, it shows the player controls with a
blank video screen until the video is buffered, then plays the
video and it stalls/loads with no stripes or load progress
indicator bar. (Same as above, really, but with a different skin
selection)
I've tried heaps of different skins and settings in the
encoder and flash importer thing but it just doesn't work - I've
had this same problem before and searched the net without joy. Can
someone tell me what might be wrong? Is there a simple setting in
the importer somewhere??
Thanks for your help

Flash video has not worked with Firefox browser for years. When will you fix this?

Anyone who uses Firefox browser (for Windows or for Mac) knows that flash video playback ceased working sometime around Firefox ver 13 and has not worked since.
The Mozilla people say it is Adobe's fault - instead of fixing Firefox.
They say roll back to Adobe Flash version 10.
This solves the video problem, but then, any other services that depend on the latest Flash build, quit working properly.
This situation leaves millions of Firefox users in perpetual frustration. We can't use our browser of choice to view any web video built with Flash.
This is so unacceptable. I am unable to understand why Adobe and Firefox don't get together and iron out whatever code incompatibility is causing this.
I would really like to hear Adobe's explanation for this.

Uh... I don't know what planet you posted this from, but Flash video has worked flawlessly with Firefox for hundreds of millions of users here on earth, without any gaps since Firefox was still called Mozilla.
For the record, I have Firefox 28 with Flash Player 13 installed on:
WIndows XP (SP3-64bit)
Windows Vista Ultimate (SP2-64bit)
Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1-64bit)
Windows 8 Enterprise (64bit-2 machines)
Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64 bit)
OS 0.6.8 Server
OS10.7.5
OS10.8.5
OS10.9.2
And I've had Firefox with Flash Player since 2003 on both OS formats. I've never had a compatibility problem.
I also use Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and a few other browsers you probably never heard of (like SeaMonkey, Maxthon, Waterfox, iCab, OmniWeb)... Flash works in all of them.
I'd have to say the problem is with your system specifically, because if it was a Firefox/Flash compatibility problem, there would have been hundreds of millions of complaints about it, for over a decade. That... just isn't the case.

Pick and download the latest Flash Player for your OS.

Realplayer "Download this Video" doesn't work on Firefox

Realplayer "Download this Video" doesn't work on the latest vesrion of Firefox

I upgraded Firefox from the latest to the latest. I have all the current flash plugins and reverted to RealPlayer 15 because I'd lost all my thumbnails in Windows explorer with RealPlayer 16.
Funny how RealPlayer 15 works fine with Internet Explorer and not Firefox. Everything worked very well up until this current cycle of continuous upgrades with FF and the addons. Two upgrades ago (on everything) everything worked perfectly. Now, everything is questionable.
Believe me, I have tried everything, every combination to fix this without something else going haywire and it can't be done at this point.
If I want to download vidoes in RealPlayer I use Internet Explorer 8, for everything esle I try to use Firefox, but quite frankly it's slower than Internet Explorer.

Video doesn't work when calling from Jabber to DX650

Hi,
I just added a DX650 to our CUCM 9.1.2. When I call from either Jabber to the DX650 or Lync to DX650, the video doesn't work and the call is audio only. The message i'm seeing on Jabber is something like "the other endpoint is not accepting video." Sorry i don't remember the exact message. Has anyone seen this issue before? Thanks!

Lync is not standards based and has proprietary codecs for video. You will need a Expressway with the MS Interop key to get video both ways.
