Controller skin for SWF video in dreamweaver CS3?

Hi there,
I have inserted a SWF video into my website, however right
now it's playing automatically and i have no way of stopping and
pausing my video... how can I add a skin controller to my SWF file?
I know I can do it with FLVs, but I dunno how to do it in SWFs....
THanks!

Controller skins for multimedia (swf) video -how to add?

My version of Acrobat Pro 9 does not have controller skins for swf files added with the Tools > Multimedia > Flash menu. But in watching AdobeTV - Kelly McCathran "A PDF Can Do That" video, she is using Acrobat Pro v9 on a Macintosh and at 13:38 time there are controller options available in her setup. Is this because the video is FLV and it includes the controller skins? http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15383v1011
Is it possible to add skins as a swf file is embedded in PDF to control playback?
Is there a place to download basic controller skins?
Can Javascript be used for playback controls of embedded swf files?
My goal is to be able to pause a video and add a comment like in the "Commenting on Video in Acrobat" movie at AdobeTV - http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15361v1015. I want to do more testing of this feature on my Mac because the first time I could make comments but the time code/reference was not captured and therefore the comment could not jump back to the video frame. I hope this was just me and not an oversight for all Macintosh users.

I doubt you'll get an answer here. We're all users, not Adobe employees. Acrobat 9 Pro is pretty new, and not many people are using the multimedia tools.
You might have more luck on this website:

They also have forums where Adobe employees sometimes answer questions.

SWF problem in Dreamweaver CS3 and strange Script file

Hi folks, I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and tried to upload a
SWF file today. The SWF includes three buttons, one for video,
another for audio and one for text. Before loading up to DW all
three parts played fine. But when I uploaded to DW and my site, the
video fails to play. A Script file, and another file downloaded I
am not sure what I am supposed to do with this script file. The
script file is called The audio and text part works fine, but the
video will not play. I am not sure why this is, but when I uploaded
the file to Dreamweaver there was a Script file called
AC_RunActiveContent.js that automatically downloaded along with a
file called .htaccess
The other file is called called .htaccess
I uploaded both files to my server, but that did not help the
video play. I tried pasting the AC_RunActiveContent.js code into my
page and uploading, but that did not help the video play either; I
just got code at the bottom of my page.
I have viewed the page in Mozilla, IE7 and Flock, but still I
cannot play the video.
Does anyone have any idea how to make the video play in
Dreamweaver; what I am supposed to do with these two code files?
For those interested in the AC_RunActiveContent.js code, I
will post below. Please try to explain simply because I am not so
tech savvy.
I thank you all.

Adding .swf file to Dreamweaver CS3 page?

In Dreamweaver MX, I used to import .swf files, view them,
and they worked, both in Dreamweaver and on the web. But trying out
Dreamweaver CS3, ,swf files I import don't seem to work for me.
They're visibly there when I view the Dreamweaver page, but they do
not play in any browser. Obviously, something has changed. What?
What do I need to do to get a .swf file to play?
Thanks for your help.

> That did not make a .swf file visible. Here's a sample
of the problem:

Your code is sticking some stuff in there that my code
doesn't
for example the version is different (that should be okay if
you have
Flash 10 installed, but also notice the path on your script:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=10,1,1,0
which is going to director instead of flash.
I suggest you try my code, of course changed to reference
your flash file.
Here's my code for a flash file:

Insert Flash Video using Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
If I were to import an FLV into Flash CS3, I would have the
ability to add text or images to the movie as needed. However, I am
testing Dreamweaver's ability to insert a Flash video directly onto
a web page, without the use of Flash CS3. I'm using Progressive
Download with the "Halo Skin 3" component. My question is: can the
Flash Video component inserted by Dreamweaver CS3 be edited somehow
using Flash CS3? I would be attempting to add text to the first
frame of the movie.
Thanks.

Broken Flash Video link - Dreamweaver CS3

I'm using a Mac G-5, PPC, Dreamweaver CS3
I cannot get FLV videos to show up on webpages. I've never had this prob before. (I currently have pages online which play their vids fine and were produced the same way I'm working it now.) I insert the video onto the page as usual, make the setting for "progressive download", "detect size", etc in the dialog box and hit OK. The video shows on my page in Dreamwvr as a Flash Vid but after saving and testing in a browser nothing shows up in 3 different browsers. I tested the page in Firefox, Netscape and Flock and nothing shows. In Opera the video player shows but will not play. In Safari it plays fine! In Dreamweaver, in the "assets" window, when I select any of the 4 FLV's there, I get the broken link icon (jigsaw puzzle piece) showing in the window yet the vids reside in the same place they've always resided.
The "AC_RunActiveContent.js" file is contained in the "Scripts" folder inside the "Files" window.
I have a page containing videos which is currently published and they play fine in all tested browsers......however in Dreamwvr's "assets" window I am getting the same symbol that looks like the broken link (puzzle piece) there as well and NO changes have been made to those files and assets.
Here's the link to that online page:
https://mnbbank.com/financial_video.html
I'd like to include a screenshot but I can't because the CSS, Tag & Files/Assets windows close when the screen capture software opens.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

In Need of Serious Help. Looking for Trial Versions of Dreamweaver CS3

Hello there,
What I thought was going to be super easy is turning into a
HUGE problem. I'm currently taking a Web Design course and we are
using Dreamweaver CS3. I have two assignments due on Wednesday. To
make a long story short, I'm desepartely looking for a 30 day trial
os Dreamweaver CS3 but I can't find one. Apparently Dreamweaver CS4
is coming out soon. Any ideas? I'm in a pickle.
Thank you!
Aly

And then spend a week using malware removers to remove
everything that you
unwittingly installed when you installed the 'dodgy copy'? No
thanks. And
what about the zombies that malware removers don't find? NO
THANKS.
Go to the bookstore, and find a DW CS3 book that contains a
demo on the CD
included. At least then you won't be loading your computer
with bad actors.

Using a custom video player (skin) for Event Videos?

Hi
I'd like use something other than the 9 standard video skins that come with Captivate 6 (Halo, Clear and Corona). Is it possible to use a custom video player or at least a different skin for an Event video? And, if so, does anyone know where I could find a collection of custom skins (free or otherwise)?
Thanks
Paul

Well sure enough, that WPF MediaKit indeed uses D3DImage for the WPF interop. In fact he does things very similar to me except mostly he seems to use DirectShow whereas I'm 100% Media Foundation. Maybe should rethink that... If only DirectShow had H264
support in Windows 8. Stupid licensing issues. Anyway thanks again for that link.

Problem Using Flash FLV Video Via Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unable to get my FLV video to play on my website.
I seem to have two problems:
1) I want the FLV file to be hosted in a different domain to
the website itself (for bandwidth reasons) and it doesn't want to
do that!
2) I would prefer to use Flash skins rather than Dreamweaver
skins as I want to offer a full-screen option but I cannot get them
to work!
If I host the FLV file on the website domain, the video plays
ok. If I change the file location in the Properties of the movie to
become the FLV located on the other domain (using full path
http://<etc>flv) then nothing
displays on that part of the page. Firebug tells me it has loaded
the AC_RunActiveContent.js and FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf but it
makes no mention of the skin file or the flv file itself ... it is
as if it just simply has not bothered with it! I suspect I am
missing something obvious but cannot find it. All help would be
appreciated. By the way, I have loaded up a crossdomain.xml file to
the root of the domain that hosts the flv file but that didn't seem
to make any difference!
The second challenge is that ideally I would like to use a
Flash skin so that I can have a full-screen option and so that I
can have the menu bar under the video itself. However, I can't even
get that option to work when I host the whole lot on the normal
webserver! I am suspecting that it might be something that might
suddenly start working when I fix problem 1. However, if anybody
has any links to a page that provides simple instructions about how
to do this task I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks for your help!

1) Why not post your video to YouTube or Google Video and
then embed the
code they provide into your website. This way their servers
carry the
bandwidth for you and the scripted embed code will work on
your site.
2) If Video sharing isn't an option, and you need more
bandwidth, you can
get domain hosting for as little as $4.95 - 6.95/month at
Bluehost,
Lunarpages or Web Hosting Pad.

Other skins for flv videos?

I use Flash CS3 importing flv videos and using the skins that
comes with the app. Nice, but as the site's designs will hold
several boxes where the corners actually are square shaped, it's a
bit "off" when the skins available have rounded corners...
Does anyone know where I can get other skins? If possible at
all?
Cheers, and thanks for help

White square for .swf file in dreamweaver site

Hi
Apologies if this is a very basic question.
I have built a dreamweaver site and embedded a .swf file (a
slideshow of photos created in flash) into the page.
When I view the page online, the .swf file takes a few
seconds to load, and while it is loading I get a white square where
the slideshow should be (the dreamweaver and flash documents have a
black background).
Question - how do I either
a) get the white square to be black
b) get a loading bar to show that the flash video is loading
Many thanks

Thanks so much Tom - I now have a black background!
The only problem is that my .swf is taking ages (8-10sec) to
load and now its all the same it looks like nothing is happening!
I have looked at the preloader threads and customised a
preloader, but I can work out from the search results/threads what
to do with it.
How do i link the preloader into my .swf file. Do I need to
know actionscript (I dont!) to do this? (I have Studio 8)
The other gist I picked up from the threads is its better to
avoid the preloader all together. I'm creating a photography
website - hence big .swf - but do you have any hints for optimising
the .swf - the flash publish compression is all I've used so far
Many thanks

Loading video in Dreamweaver CS3

I'm using Dw CS3 and I'm trying to load a flash video encoded
with Flash CS3. When I put the video on the page it doesn't display
when I preview in a browser. Also if I try to put the files on the
server it fails when it gets to the video. Also I'm going from Mp4
to Flv. I really need to get this to work so any and all help will
be greatly appreciated.

... which sez the .swf is here:

That's where the Flash file is, to be sure... but it doesn't
work for me...
I wonder if it's working for you because your computer has
cached it
locally? Perhaps someone else can indicate if they can see it
via that
direct link.

Or better still how do i get the button to advance to the next .swf file? Many thanks:)

Prettyphoto uses the jquery framework for lightboxes, galleries etc., It also allows you play flash movies with a forward and back arrows... take a look at this samples here - it could be what you're after:

Edit .swf file in dreamweaver cs3

hi frends i am new to adobe flash. I am using dreamweaver to edit a .swf flash file.I selected the flsh in design window then selected the "edit" button.The adobe flash cs3 opened it but i want to edit this flash. Please tell me how to edit it as i am only displayed with the flash in a window. how t edit its components like adding new pics to it or making other changes to it.

A .swf file can´t be edited with e.g. Flash CS3, because this type of file is the "end product" which is generated when exporting your work from Flash (File -> Export -> Export Movie...)
What you´ll need instead is the corresponding Flash "source file", which has the file extension .fla -- and this type of file is usually editable from Dreamweaver,
Cheers,
