Controller for .swf and .flv files is disappearing

When I place an .swf or .flv file in Dreamweaver, the controller, which I created in Flash, disappears when previewed in Safari. Do I forget about creating a controller in Flash before exporting to the site directory in Dreamweaver and create it in Dreamweaver instead? Can someone either tell me in simple terms how to do this, or direct me to a tutorial? Many thanks.

If you put the page, the .flv file, the .swf files, and the Scripts folder online, we should be able to help. Otherwise, all we can do is make wild guesses as to what you've done.
BTW, the most common mistake is forgetting to upload the Scripts folder if this is what I think it is.

Firefox should display .swf and .flv files without Adobe. You can do it can't you?

If the program, 'Media Player Classic' can play .swf and .flv files, the surely Firefox programmers can do for those what was done for .pdf files. PLEASE!

hello, mozilla is indeed working on it, but this is not an easy task...

Uploaded swf and flv files - right ?

Hi all -
Just getting to grips with flash movies, however not 100%
i've got it right as yet ! Could someone with experience in flash
movies confirm the files to upload are the swf and flv files to our
server ? Everything appears OK when viewing the movies - take a
quick look here www.sofabedgallery.co.uk/cosmosofa.php however I'm
just a little concerned of the size of the flv file at a couple of
mb. Is this the correct file to upload or should I try to upload
the fla smaller file?
Many thanks,
Chris.

Hi ,
You can publish your project as MP4 with Cp6. For that --
Do -- File-- Publish-- Media--- (Choose Dropdown) MP4 and (adjust settings, if you like) Hit publish.
You can use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert the Video into FLV format.
Also, you can use the SWF option on Publish Screen to publish the project as a Flash File.
Thanks!

SWF and FLV file sizes

Hello,
I have an flv file and the same flv file in an swf file. Both
files are the same size. So, it seems that it doesn't matter,
whether you import an flv file or an swf file, to keep your file
size small. Is this correct ?
Thanks,
Paul

> I have an flv file and the same flv file in an swf file.
Both files are
> the
> same size.
That's just a coincidence.
There is different baggage / overheads with FLV vs SWF. So
you will usually
get some differences .. sometimes SWF smaller, other times
FLV. However,
the actual video payload is the same in both, and the audio
is similar too,
and they are the bulk of the file size. So there shouldn't be
a huge
difference in file size between SWF an FLV.

Website calling *.swf and *flv files from C:\

I am after information from someone who has achieved this. I
have a website that has a swf embedded in it that is calling a
swf/flv on my hardrive. Firstly is this possible or am I waisting
my time even trying this. I do realise the security issues involved
and I have read posts and tutorials about achieving this but I
still have had no luck. CAN ANYONE HELP ME BEFORE I START PULLING
MY HAIR OUT!!

The reason why I want to access information from the hardrive
is because the information is about 600mb in all but cut up into
60mb parts or chapters. It is for an online learning system but
Australian BroadBand speeds are still way to slow for this sort of
system. I've tried to give these files permissions but I still get
issues. I am considering using Adobe AIR Technology and making a
desktop application that accesses small amounts of informaion from
the server, so basically turning this project on it's head.
If you do have some more information for me that would be
great but I think I'll go the AIR track.

Flash CC does not publish swf and html files

I'm having issues with Flash CC. When I go to publish my movie the status bar appeaers then quickly disappears and the html and swf files are not created. I'm also not able to export the movie as a quicktime or AVI file. Is there specific settings I must have to publish and export? Note: I am working with AS3 and tried to do a simpple test with a box moving left to right and I have the same problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure the HTML and SWF are not currently in use? For example if you publish and preview it in a browser, it can lock those files because they're "in use". Then Flash cannot overwrite them. You'd need to close the browser or any Flash Players displaying them. If that still won't overwrite, delete the files and see if they're re-created.
If no files are being created at all, gointo publish settings and set a path to export the SWF and HTML file to, don't leaving it at the default (same folder as FLA). Try various places in fact to test permissions.
If you're on Windows you could try running Flash CC as Administrator to also get around any file writing permission issues. Right-click on the Flash icon and select Run as Administrator.
I've only really encountered this when my SWF/HTML was in use or stuck in a process.

Thumbnails of swf and qt files

Anyone know of a way to make swf and qt files display in Bridge (CS3, CS4?) with a thumbnail of the first frame, instead of the generic icon for those file types?
Thanks.
JdF

Hello Jesse,
Thank you for using Bridge.
It is a known limitation of Bridge that Bridge cannot thumbnail SWF and some of QT files. However, nost MOV files should be thumbnailed.
Thank you for your understanding,

Swf or flv files on Quicktime.

I would like to know how to convert swf or flv files to Quicktime. It's been quite frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

Quicktime can't play SWF flies. Quicktime stop being able to play SWF files about 5 years ago because of security issues with the files. Quicktime could only play SWF file from Flash version 5 and below. Anyway, if you could convert the SWF file to Quicktime you will loose most of the SWF animation.

Some of my .MOV and .FLV files are missing audio

I have not touched these files, and yet some of them no longer play audio. Some .MOV files do work and same with .FLV. Why would just a few files be affected and not all of them?
What can I do to restore the audio?
Thanks.

The weird thing is that the audio once worked, so something in my settings have changed.
Over the years, QT support for MP3 audio seems to have ebbed and flowed with the times. I believe the latest upgrade(s) no longer contain internal QT support and may even ignore on of my older QT MP3 installed components. On the other hand, I believe Perian component package contains support for both the FLV file container and the MP3 VRB audio. Haven't really run any recent tests to see which components are doing what for specific files. I.e., I usually wait and do that if/when a conflict develops. (The old "If it's not broke, don't fix it!" philosophy.) In any event, mine are still working so this has not been an issue for me.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

Bridge does not show dimensions for .PDF and .AI files

Is there any way to see the dimensions in cm (or inch) for PDF and AI files in Bridge? I'm using Bridge CS5 4.1.0.54 as part of CS5.5 Design Premium, have set the preferences in Bridge to show them, but there are no values in the metadata fields for dimensions in inch/cm. I don't know if this behaviour is normal or if there's something wrong with my installation...
TIA,
Matthias

May be 'dimension' is not the right word/translation. In my german version it says 'Abmessungen (in Zoll)' or 'Abmessungen (in cm)', which should mean something like 'dimension' or 'size'. DIN A4, A5, US Letter, Legal etc. pp. in cm or inch.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files I want to listen to online. These are Hymn files. And I get a message telling me I have a missing plugin. Any ideas?

My husband used to be able to convert ABC files to MIDI files . This allows sheet music to be played on the computer so as to learn a tune. We get the Missing Plug in message.
I downloaded the Quicktime 7. I open Quick time, Still get the message. What is the solution?

"Tag Editor" for M4A and M4V Files?

I got major corruption in my music files, resulting in either 2 extra letters being inserted in the file names just ahead of the period between the file name and the extension, or the entire filename being replaced by 4 random letters. Found some tag editors that will let me repair MP3 files, by pulling tag data out of the file and using it to fix the file names. Does something like that exist for m4a and m4v files?

No, I'm not suggesting that at all, I was replying to another poster who said they couldn't add artwork to an mp4 at all.
Your equipment likely has nothing to do with this, I have a dual 4 core 3 Ghz Xeon CPU and I too have a considerable wait sometimes adding artwork to some files.
mp4 containers can hold either mpeg4/2 or mpeg4/10, (simple mpeg4 and AVC) and each compression type has a whole array of complexity types associated with it, much the same can be said for audio in the mp4 container.
What I'm saying is that some mp4's will take time to add artwork, some will do it straight away and there are situations where some mp4's won't take artwork. It isn't your system, your hardware or anything you are doing wrong, it's the way it is.

Help newbie understand .swf and .flv

I don't know if I'm the idiot or if I'm dealing with some.
I'm from a video background and trying to learn the web end
of things, had never looked at Flash before this situation. I
produced some videos for a client, each is 4-5 minutes in length.
They want to post them on their web site and asked for .swf files.
After reading up it seemed what I should do was produce an .flv
file of the movie from Final Cut then create a .swf from that in
Flash, send both off; the web company would post them in the same
folder and it would run perfectly. I fumbled my way through doing
that for the first clip, and it played great on my computer (much
to my surprise, nothing ever works the first time). I sent both
files off to the client and got a snippy letter back that they
wanted only an .swf, not 2 files to deal with. I tried embedding
the .flv in the .swf and of course it played like crap, audio out
of sync, etc. They are an ad agency and don't seem to want to let
me talk to the folks actually posting the stuff. So:
Am I just missing something huge in the workflow, is there a
way to embed a long video and make it play cleanly?
Doesn't the web hosting company usually produce the .swf file
so they can control the look of the interface?

Thanks for your reply.
I eventually got everything working with swfobject.
I think i'm finally getting the hang of flash, well the basic stuff anyway, lol.
