Disappearing page and flash video in iweb????????

Hello Everyone! I have a question --- Is it at all possible to have a blank black page appear when i go to my website and have a flash video play on it, then when it is done playing have it disappear and have the main page showing with the links on it to go to the different pages of my website? If so, how do i go about it?

Hello MacAVUser08,
You can have your page load up with the Flash video, for sure. You just have to have your Flash video living on a server that supports .swf files.
This explanation should help -
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Movies.html
Now, in terms of your Flash movie going away, and having the other page with the links appear on it...??
Yyyeeeaaahhhh...... I am not exactly sure how. More than likely, there is some either Java script code, or HTML code out there that can handle this. The issue you may run in to is that you are dealing with a Flash file - to begin with. You may run into compatibility issues. Just a head's up.
When your Flash file finishes, you could have a link pop up (either within the Flash file itself, or right below it, as an HTML hyperlink), that will direct you to the page that you wish. This, I know, for sure will work. The other has not only a greater learning curve to it, but is more shaky.
All the best!
Sincerely,
Daniel Louis Rappaport

Squashed Flash Video in iWeb

This is a stumper and I could really use a freah perspective on it.
I have been trying to get a Flash movie on my iWeb site bu using the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site here...
http://iwebunlimited.com/iweb-tips/iweb-tip-9-flash-video-in-iweb-jw-player/
The problem I have is that when I publish my changes in iWeb and point my browser to the page the movie is on, the movie plays as a litttle squashed box in the middle of the player. Let me explain...
I followed the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site to the letter. I have downloaded the .swf and .js files, placed them in a folder called "flash" on my iDisk as well as my .flv movie file and a screengrab of the same size.
I have changed all the parameters in the HTML code to point to my iDisk and the relavent files.
I have changed the video dimensions to that of my newly encoded .flv video (640 x 352 - in ffmpegx)
When I go to my movie page in my browser, I see the still shot I took as a place marker in the right dimensions. Yet when I play the movie, although the player is the size I requested - 640 x 352 - the actual movie plays inside it as a squashed box. Take a look at the screenshot below to see what I mean.
The video should fill the black areas, but whatever I do this is the result...
Here is the info on the flash video I uploaded to my iDisk and how is should look...
And here is the HTML code with the same dimensions input in iWeb before I published. I have changed my username back to "username" for this screenshot FYI...
The weird thing is - I uploaded a flash movie a couple of years ago to the same page and it plays ok - looks fine. Shame I can't remember how the **** I did it! I wondered if having 2 flash movies on the same page were causing the problem, so I deleted the old one.
Same result.
I created a new fresh movie page and tried that - same result again.
I thought that maybe each movie needed it's own set of .swf and .js files as the 2 movies are of different dimensions, each player would need to be different dimensions also....?
So I even added another set of .swf and .js files. I tried copying the 2 sets of movie files to individual folders, but iWeb didn't see them at all - it only seems to see them is they are in a folder called "flash" in my "Web >Sites" folders on my iDisk.
I was wondering even if it was down to the encoding of the video, which I did in ffmpegx. I did have to do it in a roundabout way...
In Final Cut Pro I exported a full quality QT movie - ProRes422 1280 x 720 that turned out at 5.32 GB and 12 mins 5 secs in duration.
This is not recognised by ffmgegx, looks like the ProRes codec has it confused.
So I put it into Compressor and re-encoded it as a H.264 movie 1280 x 720 that turned out at 1.72 GB.
When I put this into ffmgegx it encoded just fine, but stopped after 7 mins and 7 secs.
I tried a hundred different ways but it always stopped at 7m7s...
So I eventually dropped it onto a droplet I downloaded somewhere to convert videos for Vimeo HD - 1280 x 720. I dropped this into ffmpegx and Hey Presto - it worked!
So I now have my full length .flv movie at my 640 x 352 on my iDisk with iWeb pointing at it and the correct dimensions input in the HTML code, and it STILL comes out squashed....
if anyone has a clus what is causing this or what I am doing wrong, I will be forever in your debt!
I know this is an epic mail, but I wanted to give all the info I can......

If you are using a SWF or FLV you don't need to use the JW player assets. Just reference the file in an iFrame code....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flash-SWF-FLV.html
Adjust the dimensions of the frame to fit the movie and control bar if necessary.
This page shows the JW using the embed code and the javascript version...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you want to us the JW player using the javascript shown on the iWeb unlimited site, you need to adjust the player frame dimensions to suit the control bar position that you specified. I notice that this website doesn't mention the fact that the control bar position can be changed - normally "bottom" or "over". If you set the control bar to "bottom", the frame height needs to be increased. Also the javascript shown is not the latest one where you can specify all the custom options.
If you use the javascript that I employed for the second example on the iWeb for Musicians site, you can do a lot of customizing and specify flash with fallback to HTML5 or vice versa.

Websites not loading correctly and flash videos not playing

When I visit sites like '''ign.com''' and '''joystiq.com''', they do not display correctly and Flash videos never load. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled twice to version 9.0.1 with no change. The second time I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to help make sure I got rid of all registry entries and residual files. Does anyone know if this is a recent bug? This started for me about noon yesterday...

Not loading correctly in what way?
Can you attach a screenshot?

When new firefox kicked in I lost some of my apps on my tool bar how do i get them back? I lost ani weather, ant video downloader, and flash video downloader.

when the new fire fox change kicked in I lost some of my add on apps such as ani weather, ant video down loader, and flash & video down loader, how do I get them back? I tried reinstalling them but they don't show up in the tool bar.

Hi,
I'm assuming all of your extensions were on the Add-on Bar. The Add-on Bar has been removed in Firefox 29<sub>[1]</sub> but you can get it back easily using an extension<sub>[2]</sub>

Dynamic slideshow with pictures and Flash Video

I want to make a dynamic slideshow that shall include both
pictures and Flash Video. The user shall only have to put the files
(images/video) into a folder (for example with FTP or an
admin-utility) and then the Flash slideshow should present theese
pictures and video-files randomly. Is this possbile?
I know it is possible with pictures, but can you also include
Flash Video into this scenario?

yes you can, you can load '.SWF' files in or you can use the
vidplayer to play '.FLVs'

Delete and replace video in iweb

I have iWeb 3.0.4 (iWeb '11 I think). I want to delete a YouTube video on my video page and replace with another YouTube video, or simply call up the YT widget and change the URL address to the video I want. I can't seem to delete the old video and when I drag over the widget to the video and type in the new URL it simply overlays my new video on top of the old one so I have 2 videos in that spot. Is there a relatively simple solution to make this replacement of one video with another?

First click on the existing video and use the Delete key. Then add the new HTML snippet with the YouTube embed code.

Editable regions and flash videos

Okay so im creating a new website and I have already got
stuck with something. The problem is rather annoying, I could first
easily insert flash videos to my website before I turned it into a
template, but I have now turned my pages into a template as im
creating a site with lots of videos on different pages. Thing is, I
have an 'editable region' in the middle section, and because of
that I cannot add videos to either my template file (.DWT) or my
other html files. It says I need to change code in the original
template to continue. Please help and thanks for reading!

> It
> says I need to change code in the original template to
continue.
url to the page please??
tip: if inserting into a locked area of the template, if it's
dw 8.03 or
CS3, you need to insert the flash with a site root relative
path, so that
the paths come out right in the child pages.

Everytime I start firefox I get its web page plus Flash Video Downloader advertisement in 2nd tab, how do I get rid of this

I get the standard Firefox web page but also get a second web page advertisement for Flash Video Downloader. I use Flash Video Downloader already and my data use is limited monthly so I don't want this page coming up every time I get on the web browser. I've asked the Flash Video folks but they have no suggested solutions. It is not shown in options for home page and I can't find where it is being loaded from.

Hello,
Try restore your startup page(Home Page), go to '''Tools''' >> '''Option''' >> '''General''', and restore to default or a page that you want.
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page]
Or go to ''''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
'''about:home''' default
'''about:blank''' blank page
'''url''' a page that you want

Qmaster and Flash Video Encoder 8

Can I use Qmaster to set up a render farm to encode Quicktime movies to FLVs using Flash Video Encoder? If so, does anyone know where i can find the command lines samples to se up the Macs?

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AppleQmaster3_UserManual.pdf
Pages 18 and 29 should be helpful.
However, it might just be easier to encode to H.264.

Copy from code view and paste into code view. Make sure that
you move *all*
of the required code. That means, create a clean page. Look
at the code.
Add the Flash to it. Look at the code again. Move the bits
that were added
from the dummy page to the child page.

Two questions, hierarchical pages and vimeo videos

just upgraded to 09 from 06 (i think, the iMovie version was 06). one of the limitations i had with the old iWeb was that a site was essentially flat with all the webpages showing at the top of the page and navigation was accomplished by clicking on the desired page.
i would like to have another level. for instance, i click on a page and that page has a different list of pages (including the one it came from). currently, i use a mixture of iWeb pages and galleries from Aperture to display my photographs. i would like to be able to do it all in one place since iWeb 09 "sees" Aperture.
suggestions?
there is a widget for inserting youtube videos, but i use vimeo. what is the best way to do that? use the html snippet widget and use the imbed code from vimeo?

There are two methods in iWeb 09 to insert YouTube videos: The YouTube widget or the HTML snippet: Adding YouTube Videos
As far a hierarchal pages, you can create you second tier pages and leave them out of the navbar but add text based hyperlinks to them in their host page. The host page could have a text based second navbar pointing to the sub pages: Text Based Navbar.
If you have a lot of pages you could add the sub pages to a second site and link to them from a page in your first site. You can add hyperlinks to get back and forth between the sites.
If you would want to include a page in each site taking the visitor to the other site create a blank page in each site, name it for the other site and add the following code to an HTML snippet on each page;
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRET TO"; </script>
Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code
You would need to publish each site so you could determine what the URL needed would be for the code. That makes updating your site a little quicker since you don't have to deal with all pages, just those within the main site or sub site. Lots of ways to skin that cat.

Question--Dreamweaver and FLASH Video

I have looked at tons of forums now and still see no solution for the problem many of us are having. I've loaded a flash video using dreamweaver cs4 and it won't show up. I've gotten the white box syndrome too. I sure wish someone could figure it out...I've consulted three "experts" including someone on the phone at adobe. My flash file is very big...193 MB, but can't it be done?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

10.7.4 update causes YouTube and Flash video Errors?

Since updating to 10.7.4 yesterday, I've noticed that YouTube and other online Flash videos stutter, stop and continue playing, or pause frequently. Has anyone else noticed this bug? I'm using the newest version of Chrome but tried Safari as well and noticed the same kind of bug. If anyone has a fix it would be greatly appreciated.

File a bug report with Apple.

Q about Flex and Flash video

Hi -
Looking for advice from more experienced Flex users here.
I am completely new to Flex, and am curious if its the right
tool for something I'd like to accomplish. Any feedback is welcome.
The goal is to create a video template page and we want the
ability to pass sources to this template. Basically, we do a lot of
online training, and want to have one page where any video can
play, regardless of how many videos could be linked to it. We were
wondering if Flex might provide a sleek way of accomplishing that.
I have downloaded the source for a Flex video player (
http://www.fxcomponents.com/flex-video-player/)
and was hoping to use this or something similar to implement. Is
Flex a good tool for what we are trying to achieve?

Sure. You could have any number of links to videos that when
clicked open the video in the video viewer.

Creating a table in the application pages and pasting it into iWeb 08

I have learned today that if you create a table in pages and then copy and paste it into iWeb 08 it uses the the ORIGINAL entry in the upper left cell as the name of the png file that is created as the image for the iWeb folder.
If that ORIGINAL name had a space in the name the resulting server can probably not link successfully the data in that png file.
Solution: When you FIRST create the table in the application pages that you plan to copy into iWeb use a single word in that upper left cell -- you can change the content later but the "pasted" file will be that word.png.
Enjoy!

I use the class cl_xml_document to create XML documents.
It has all the methods required to create XML documents...perfectly. It is fairly straightforward when you get into it...and you can produce very good xml files.
also, try this little report...
whilst this is not full blown XML example it may give some ideas or possibly the format generated maybe be enough for your needs. This is a simple test example of converting an ITAB into an xml type file and then it was sent to a server
report zsjc2.
data :
itab   type table of sflight,
l_xml type ref to cl_xml_document.
start-of-selection.
select * from sflight into table itab up to 1 rows.
end-of-selection.
create object l_xml.
call method l_xml->create_with_data( dataobject = itab[] name = 'ROOT' ).
call method l_xml->display.
data: v_uri type string,
        v_response type ref to cl_xml_document.
v_uri = 'http://broker.dev.eproc1.uk.compass:7080/saphttptest'.
call function 'SWF_XML_SEND_VIA_HTTP_SERVER'
    exporting
      uri                            = v_uri
      request_document               = l_xml
*   USER                           = ' '
*   PASSWORD                       = ' '
   importing
     response_document              = l_xml. "v_response.
You can use other methods, additional to what this example shows, to create a true XML file. You need more coding - but the above example is just a 'quick and dirty' half waay house to get you moving along in one possible direction. I actually preferred using the class than transformations.
