Autism,,,video player needed

Hi All.
My son has Autism, is 23 and I am trying to teach him to control a video player on ipad 2, I just need a video player with controls ( THAT STAY ON SCREEN CONSTANTLY).
He is able to press the next > icon but when it disappears from the screen he gets confused.
Thank You All In Advance

I  am not sure if this is what you mean, (can a video be controlled as if it's an app???) but can this help?

While I have read and seen news stories/documenataries on the subject of autism, and how the ipad has been helping children and adults with special needs, I do not know any specifially related technical details that will solve your problem, but hope the above can help or lead you to somtething that might. If no solution, why not contact Apple in Cupertino. They have Support employees specifically trained in some areas of accessibility.
Please also take a look at this, though, by someone who has recently posted a similar concern.

Hope this helps.

  • Flash Video Player Need Help

    Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me.  I am going to school and I have an action scripting class.  For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.   
      We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works.  Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this  as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck. 
    Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    import fl.controls.List;
    var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
    vid.source= "fashion.flv";
    addChild(vid);
    vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
    vid.x=100;
    vid.y=300;
    vid.skinAutoHide="true";
    vid.width=500;
    vid.height=280;
    var vidList:List = new List();
    vidList.x= vid.x+10;
    vidList.y= 200;
    vidList.width=200;
    vidList.height=100;
    vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
    vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
    vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
    addChild(vidList);
    vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
    function playVid(e:Event):void{     
    vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
    Here is a screenshot of the errors I am receiving.
    Please help me 
    thanks

    I don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name.  Like this:
    package {
         import flash.display.Sprite;
         import flash.events.Event;
         import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
         import fl.controls.List;
         public class Main extends Sprite {
              public function Main() {
                   var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
                   vid.source= "fashion.flv";
                   addChild(vid);
                   vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
                   vid.x=100;
                   vid.y=300;
                   vid.skinAutoHide="true";
                   vid.width=500;
                   vid.height=280;
                   var vidList:List = new List();
                   vidList.x= vid.x+10;
                   vidList.y= 200;
                   vidList.width=200;
                   vidList.height=100;
                   vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
                   vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
                   vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
                   addChild(vidList);
                   vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
              function playVid(e:Event):void{     
                   vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
    Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with:   Main
    Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv.

  • Unsolicited by me, a new tab will open saying I need a new video player or PC cleaner. Why? And how do I stop that?

    Sometimes, when Firefox has been open on my laptop for a few minutes but I've not been active on it, a new tab will automatically open up with a message saying, for example, that I should download a new video player or some PC cleaner software. I know it must be some kind of spam or malware, and I normally just close the tab, but I'm curious as to why this happens and how I can stop it from happening again.

    That says a plugin needs updating. Open '''''Firefox > Add-ons > Plugins'''''.
    Above the first plugin is a link that will check your plugins. Please use it.

    Skyfire is Not the answer! Bad reviews and you have to pay to try.
    I used Puffin Free Browser. Worked perfectly with a 14 day free trial for Flash. It worked well for Flash videos so I would buy the full version.

  • I need help to re set QuickTime player as my default internet Video Player

    Does anyone know about QuickTime Player 7 10.0?
    I have a Real Player software Program that is set as my internet default video player, I want to change and re set my internet video player as my default QuickTime Player, I don't know how to change and re set my Internet Video player. I noticed that in my QuickTime Player it doesn't have a preferences under the quickTime Player Menu. Does anyone know how I can re set My QuickTime Player as my internet Video default Player?
    Thank You,
    Mrs. Trisha Foster

    Sorry, look under the Help menu -> installed plugins (I'm using Firefox and had to keep showing/hiding Safari). As for the other location, don't change anything there (not good to change anything in the Library folders) - I just wanted you to look to see if Quicktime is there or not. If it is, you need to take a look while Real Player is open to see if it can be disabled - I don't have it, so I can't give you instructions. If you can't find Quicktime in either location, there is something strange going on because it should be.
    If you can't find it under plugins, also check in Applications to see if Quicktime Player is installed and post back. Also, do a search for Quicktime and Quicktime plugins.
    I am not sure if you can just download and install it from the Apple download site or if you'd need to use your install disk to reinstall it from there; if you do not have it installed anywhere, it should be fine to download it - hopefully someone else will be able to confirm this.

    I need a video player, that can play .3gp video, .avi video (mp4: Dvix, Xvid). I have fond one (Corecodec Coreplayer V1.1.1 S60v3 Os 6), but it works with problemms (pictures do not open). Can you name me one...

    Core supports much more codecs, it's a more universal player.
    It's been very reliable to me
    And so far I've been able to play a lot of files without transcoding. Just plug and play!
    I really don't like to do the transcoding, so this player has been good in that sense.
    Anyway, each is entitled to his/her own opinion. So I respect that.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • I keep getting a message about video player update. What's going on? Why do I need this? Prove that I do - too many viruses out there to just download something

    A page keeps popping up saying FIREFOX wants me to download this video player. I'm leery of downloading anything these days with the Heartbleed virus out there

    If you get a pop-up message asking to update or install other software then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
    You should only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.

    I often like watching videos and movies, current affairs, clips on you tube nine msn, yahoo and other sites and my video player or movie freezes for short and long periods and sometimes doesn't start at all. I don't have much experience with add on's or plugins but have been told this may be the problem, I have tried disabling add on's leaving shock wave flash player 11.7.700.224, adobe acrobat PDF plug in, silver light plug in 5.1.20125.0, java deployment toolkit 7.0.210.11 10.21.2.11 and java (TM) platform SE 7 U21 10.21.2.11. as well as leaving all add on's and plug ins run but it still doesn't fix the freezing problem please help or advise what are best options for peak performance of videos, clips and movies. Thanks

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
    *http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-113-crash-mozilla.html
    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • How can i make RealPlayer the default video player?

    I use safari 3.0.4

    How do I get safari to use realplayer instead? (Even my Firefox 2.0 uses flash) (I have RP 10)
    I am teaching a course in media literacy and show some of the uploaded old tv commercials to my students. i want to show next year's class some of the same commercials, so i want to save the ones I find this year while they're available.
    At school, I work on a pc, and it plays video back in RealPlayer which gives me a 'download' option, so i can save these commercials.
    But when i find good clips at home, on my mac, all I can do is note the urls, then do it all again at school to get to them to download. it would be much easier if i could download them as I find them, then take them to school on my portable drive.
    any solution?
    Thank you

    RealPlayer v. 11.0.0 (may still be in beta) now includes that Downloader - a very useful item!
    It is a free download but they will ask for money in July. Must be why they call it RealPlayer Plus!
    You can get it here:
    http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
    I have had it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems.
    As for making RealPlayer the default video player, IMO that is not a good idea. There is a lot of stuff out there that RealPlayer would not be able to handle.
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on Tiger. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
    http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
    If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
    Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
    and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

  • The video player is in the connection error state.

    Flash cS 5.5 / Win 7. Inserting video into movieclip both with 'import video' wizard and via component. FLV that plays fine on a number of different servers. On opening (after gathering metadata) the message 'The video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found.' Firstly I am treating this as a progressive download, not streaming. Second this plays fine locally, it's only when I upload to a server it fails. The FLV is in a folder directly below the SWF. Result is same with FLV in same location as SWF. MIME type set to vide/x-flv although I've also set it to applicaiton/octet-stream.
    This is a very basic requirement to call the video directly from Flash, the default parameters of the component are adequate and work locally. However the video does not play. Is it fair to assume this functionality simply does not work correctly within Flash CS5.5? I'm unclear as to what >less< I could be doing with this file.

    You can place the Flash and any Flash assets in any folder location that you want.... provided that you understand how Flash assets (like .flv files) are "Pathed" or located by the .swf that is calling them. The underlying principle is that the Flash assets need to be pathed relative to the Web page that the .swf is located on, NOT the actual, physical location of the .swf.
    For review:
    Pathing issues
    Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
    You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
    Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location.  So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
    In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
    So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
    Best wishes,
    Eye for Video
    www.cidigitalmedia.com
    So you can place the .flv wherever you want, but you can't just go and move the .flv without also correcting the path to the .flv inside the .swf.
    So be sure that you have the .flv in the correct subfolder before you do any insert of the Flash player.
    Also I'm not a great fan of requiring my viewers use the latest and greatest (and most bug filled version) of any pluggin or software for that matter.
    <param name="swfversion" value="11.0.0.0" />
    I refer NOT to upgrade to ver 11 so will not be seeing your Flash anytime soon. If you want to appeal to a large audience, change that to version 10.
    Best wishes,

  • How do I stop iTunes from being my default video player

    I have a slightly older Macbook Pro, on OSX 10.5.8.   I have a bunch of video files on a wireless networked hard drive and the directory mapped to my desktop for easy access.  I also have VLC installed for video playback.  All the files are *.m4v.
    Here is the problem.  When I click to open one of these files it starts copying the whole file over the network to my iTunes, and insisting on opening from iTunes.  If I click on File -> Open With -> it shows iTunes as the default.  I can click on File -> Open With -> VLC and this works just fine.
    But how do I change the default video player?  All I want to do is stream it over my internal home network, I don't want copy the darn file every time I want to play something.
