Can't view flv (progressive download) in Captivate 3

I've been trying to link to an .flv file in my Captivate 3 project, and I believe I'm doing everything right. However, when I preview or watch the published swf the .flv does not appear at all. It does appear on my slide along with the playback controls I've selected.
I've searched the forum and I saw the tip about making sure you've injected your .flv with metadata, which I did using this little program: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/ and it still didn't work for me.
I've tried using the absolute path (which is a folder on my local drive and the project is also in my local drive) and the relative path and still no luck. Any other ideas about what I could be doing wrong?
¡Gracias!
Danny

How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto. Version 8.1.2
- What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.9.4
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
When I open iPhoto, only the most recent photos are shown (last 12 months)
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? This has been going on for several weeks now. There are no error messages, but yes, I had an update in the system (QuarkXPress 10.1), and the problem has occurred from that day.
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I tried to find out where the problem came from, but found no solution.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto? No
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Thank you so much for offering help. I am not a proficient user of the system.

FLV progressive download. Keeps dropping out around 50%. Why?

I have simply imported an FLV video of around 26 MBs.
In the import options, I selected download from server for progressive download. I publish to html, upload everything where it should be (in one folder). I begin watching the video and it plays fine, then, about 50% of the way through, the candy strip on the player skin starts flashing, even though it's still buffering way infront of where we are through the video. Once it gets to the point where the candy strip started flashing, the video returns to the beginning and I can't play the rest of it?! It does this in the same position each time. I have tried downloading the flv and checking it's complete and it is so i'm confused!
When viewing it locally on my machine, using the html file it works fine!? I have come up against this before and can't find the reason why. Some help on this would be greatly appreciated as it's really frustrating me and preventing me from deploying videos which need to be sorted.

Have you tried with other browsers or other computers? It may be a problem with limited cache size or space.

FLV Progressive Download SeekNavCue

Hello! I have been working on this issue for a couple days
now and cannot seem to find the resolution. I have a flash movie
that includes three FLV files that are progressively downloaded. I
have no problems playing them, but when I get to a certain point in
one, I want to switch to the other, but start the second FLV at a
certain cue point. The test works when I play from my hard drive,
but Since the files are progressive download, they don't jump to
the correct cue point when viewed online. Any suggestions on what I
should try next? My code for the FLV switch is below:
This is on the first frame (checks to see if the root var is
set to 1, if not then it should jump to a specific point in the
FLV):
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
var pam_vid:FLVPlayback;
if (_root.link == 1) {
pam_vid.play();
if (_root.link == 2) {
pam_vid.seekToNavCuePoint(repeatStory);
pam_vid.play();
This script is put on the last frame (detects when the video
file is done playing, then jumps to frame 1 and checks the root
var):
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
stop();
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
pam_back.addEventListener("cuePoint",listenerObject);
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(infoObject:Object):Void {
if(infoObject.info.name == "cue2"){
trace("cue2");
_root.link = 2;
gotoAndPlay(1);
thanks,
Christy

It's a snap with Flash 8 Pro. You just attach a skin to the
FLV with all the components (such as volume, mute, play, and pause)
and your good to go. Not sure how it works with earlier versions of
Flash.

FLV progressive download and MediaPlayback component???

Hi
I have to use FLV and progressive download. I did that with
the Video Object. That works great. The problem is that Video
Object does not allow us to control movie volume. It does not give
many function to control my movie. So the solution should be to use
the MediaPlayback component that gives me many fonctions, listner,
... But how to make it works with a FLV that reside on the server
but not in Streaming. I need to load it in progressive.
Any idea.

Can't view Applet, JVM download require

I have a problem,
My computer has no internet connection, so when i write one applet file and try to view it using IE (My os is windows XP pro), one dialog come out asking me to download JVM to view this applet. because i got no internet connection so i was recommended to download the JRE file from one website and install it so i can view any applet file using IE.
I did went to that web site suggested and download the JRE and after installation i got no more problem with my IE running any applet.
But after i install visual studio 6, during the isntallation it ask me to update the JVM and i got no option but to follow the instruction.
And after that i open my IE to try to run an applet file, one same dialog comes up again ask me to download JVM.
I did try to uninstall vb studio and JRE and then reinstall only JRE back, but the problem still exists.
So what should i do ?
Thanks,

What version of Java did you install when you first installed the JRE...
Are you able to see the HTML tags which are used to support and load the applet.. What do they look like.. Is the Applet or Object tag used..
When the installation of Visual Studio required a new JVM, do you recall which JVM was necessary... Did it reqire MSJVM vs Sun JVM..
When you updated the JVM at that time, from where did you obtain it.. In other words, what JVM was installed with the installation of Visual Studio..

How can I view (and cancel) downloads that are waiting to begin? Why don't pending downloads appear on the downloads list (marked as "Pending" or "Waiting for other downloads to complete" or ...) ? In general, Firefox is a great browser. Thanks!

I'm using Firefox 7.0.1 and Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2).

Can you try the following for me.
Run the microsoft fix it and have it uninstall AIR
Delete the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR (this might also be in Program Files(x86))
Delete the folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
Delete the folder: C:\Users\chris\AppData\Local\Adobe\AIR
Install AIR 3.2 by itself, from: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/3.2/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe
Install Adobe Community Help from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/air/350/AdobeHelp.air
Does the AdobeHelp.air file install if you double click it?

Flv progressive downloading issue

I have been hitting my head against the wall with this one.
When I use the flvplayback component on a test swf with one frame,
my video plays fine. But when I insert the component in an
exsisting swf which has many layers and frames, it will not play.
Anyone know a reason this might be happening. For now, the flv is
being played locally.
Thank you in advance...
Ed

Thanks charles.crepin and Nickels55. I found out the issue I
was having. My Publish preferences were set for ActionScript 1.0. I
changed to include 2.0 and all worked.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.

Can't view full episodes of CBS shows

I have Quicktime 7.1.6. Attempts to view full tv episodes result in an error message: Don't have MIME plugin for audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin so I can't view.
I downloaded flip4mac and still the same message.
How to fix?
IMac 17-in,Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for the link. Ok, I watched the full episode (the one I missed) of CSI-NY.
You probably need to make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software and/or go to:
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.
This tells the browser not to to display Flash Media and lets the newly installed Adobe software work its magic.
Did you repair permissions & restart after installing RealPlayer? If not, make sure you do so after installing the Flash Player (if you do not already have same).

Progressive download flv never plays

Using CS3
Hello people,
Like the title states my Progressive download never plays. Before I waste your time and mine showing the methods used I rather start off simple.
Are there any reasons an flv might not be allowed to stream? I have followed the methods in every Progressive video tutorial I can find (about 7 so far) and they explain the exact same steps yet my flv never plays. I have also done it entirely with just action scripte and nothing. I get the player and my video list but never get the video.
Yes, I have the Source set to the web directory of my flv in the parameters in the property inspector.
I have also tried to use this method with other types of video and it also never plays. The only thing that works is embedd it which is of course a terrible only choice.
Not sure this is the correct place to post this but the other choices I saw look like a worst choice than this one.

It plays fine locally but just doesn't on the server.
I read another post when someone mentioned something about their host being the problem which I don't understand. I stream audio no problem and have 11 websites. I have never done anything with video though until now other than Premeire and After Effects with actually editing video but no idea what the host would be blocking in a progressive streaming situation. I know my host doesn't have Flash Media Server but that's why I've been trying progressive.

FLV and Progressive download bug

Hi
that is weird. I try to load a FLV as a progressive download.
When I test it on my computer. The video works great and I can
display the Stream totalbytes. When I test it on the web, the video
does not display, the streaming diusplay -1 and the page does not
stop loading and loading.
I use Flash 7 and yes all the doc are on the web in the same
folder as it is on my computer.
You can see the code I use
Any idea.

Tanx!
That was the bug. Now it's fixed.
Have another question. I use it with the Video not the
MediaPlayback. Is there a way to link the NetStream to the
MediaPlayback instead of my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
Tanx in advanced!

My daughter's itunes library is on a computer that now has a broken usb. can she view her library and download from my computer? is so, how?

my daughter's itunes library is on a computer that now has a broken usb port. can she view her library and download from my computer? is so, how?

If you set up Home Sharing and are on the same network you can share your library. However you must be using the same itunes account. Another option (if you are trying to download to a device) would be to sync over Wi-Fi. I hhope this helps a bit. If you let me know what you are trying to accomplish I may be able to give a better answer
