Dreamweaver Flash Media Skins

Is there a way to select external skins for Flash media in
Dreamweaver? In Dreamweaver 8, I only have the selection of 3
different kind of skins...all internal to the video. Does anyone
know a solution to this?
Thank you.

I just gotta ask... What are your Publish settings in Flash?
It "sounds" to me like you are publishing both the Flash .swf file
and the HTML, which is then writing over your html file. Call me
crazy... LOL

Flash Media Encoder with multiple cameras?

Hi,
Is it possible to stream 2 or more cameras on one computer
with Flash Media Encoder, or are you restricted to one camera per
machine?
Cheers

Hi,
As JayCharles explained to me, you run two instances of Flash
Media Encoder on the Computer. I was running 1 camera on just one
computer and so used 3 computers instead of using just the one
computer.
In my new case, I had 2 Cameras on the one machine.
When you launch Flash Media Encoder it will detect any
cameras you have on that computer, you will get a dropdown box so
you can choose which camera you want to use in this instance.
Choose the camera you want.
In the FMS URL box type the rtmp path to your Flash Media
server directory you want to stream this video to using either the
ip address or web address of the FMS server followed by the correct
path to where the file will be streamed to for example:
rtmp://192.168.1.10/vob/live
In the Stream Box type the name of the video file without the
.FLV tag, ie:
livevideo
Click the Connect button to connect the Video to the FMS
server.
When ready click the Start Button to start the stream.
So far you are streaming the video, but no one can see it.
Open a Dreamwaver page for example and go to:
Insert/Media/Flash Video (CS3)
or
Insert/Media/FLV (CS4)
Change the Video Type to Streaming Video
In the Server URI box type or paste in the rtmp address you
set:
rtmp://192.168.1.10/vob/live
In the Stream Name Box type in the Stream name you set in
Flash Media Encoder:
livevideo
The Skin type must be HALO, (Dont understand why you get no
choice)
Set the width and height of the Video on the page
Tick the Autoplay to play a pre recorded file, or tick Live
video feed if it is live.
Click ok.
If everything is correct then when you lauch the page the
video feed should be playing.
Lets assume it is, to add a second camera you just repeat the
same steps.
Open another instance of Flash Media Encoder on the Computer
you already have a feed running.
It might complain that the camera is already in use, as it
might try to connect to the same camera on the running application.
Open the Camera source dropdown and now choose the other
camera that should be available.
Put in the same info for the Server URI as you will also
stream to the same folder.
Chnage the Stream name now to:
livevideo2
Click Connect and also Start.
Open the Dreamweaver page you created for the first video.
Follow the same steps as before to create the Video on the
page
changing the name this time to livestream2.
You should now have 2 live video feeds on the same page using
two different cameras.
hope this helps.

Fireworks, dreamweaver, flash integration

I'm taking beginning photoshop and flash classes online and at a local college and have adobe master collection CS4. I'm still not sure whether to build my pro musician website (lots of music) in Flash or Dreamweaver with Flash or use Fireworks as the foundation... Confused... Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Use graphics apps to create graphics only.
Use DW to build your web pages - HTML and CSS code.
Insert Flash media into HTML pages when needed. Provide alternate content for devices that don't support Flash.
Flash only sites are not user- and search engine friendly, also not supported by many devices.
Have a look at this 2-part tutorial:

Dreamweaver/ Flash & Server issue

The issue I am having is:
* When a new .HTM page is created, no flash will play.
Anything newly uploaded on the server or anything that has been
uploaded in the past.
* When I save from another .HTM file, only the newly uploaded
flash will not play, yet the old will.
Everything works fine locally, just not on the site server.
My partner noticed that there is some Javascript at the bottom of
the page (that we did not add), even when a new page is created or
if the code is deleted it comes back. I called where we host and
they explained that Dreamweaver adds the code to make the Flash
play locally, and it's something with the way Plesk handles it that
it won't work from the server. All I have to do is go into Plesk
and delete the code, and everything will work fine. I've tried
deleting all of it, parts of it, and I can't seem to make the flash
movie play.
Has anyone experienced anything like this and have some sort
of a solution? If someone can aid me in what exactly I need to
delete, or some other way to fix it... The problem started today
for us seemingly out of nowhere.
Myself and my partner are both working from CS3, I am working
from Windows XP Pro and he is working from a Mac.
Below are links to the troublesome pages. The Java shows at
the bottom of the repurposed page and an added line before
"</head>" at the top.
New
.HTM Page
Repurposed
.HTM Page
You can see how our videos are laid out by going to
Miss
GEICO Racing and clicking 'action' then 'videos;' the top one
is the one that is not working.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Most likely you have failed to upload the javascript required
by the Flash
insertion. Let's see the page and we'll tell you.

You'd have to ask on the Flash forum.

Dreamweaver/Flash/Getting pages to load faster

I am working on a site in CS3 Dreamweaver that uses Flash
Videos (.flv). Unfortunately, these videos are taking forever to
load (sometimes they do not load at all) when you visit the site
(each video is less then 30 MB). I am currently using the Godaddy
Premium account as my hosting server (it's not a dedicated or
virtual server). Is there anything that I can do to get these
videos to load faster?
Here is the page that I am working on:

30Mb is a lot. You need to find a host who provides Flash
Media Server -
that will help with the streaming of the videos.

Integrating Flash Media Server with other formats

I would like to create a standard screen/player that can play
any of the following formats:
windows media files, all flash files, quick time files, real
player files.
So, for example, lets say I want to manipulate the screen to
be an exact aspect ratio and have the same skin, and exact same
controls as my flash files, but I don't want to work with Real
Server or a Windows Media Server to serve these files what is the
best approach to take ? i.e. a "Standardized" look and feel for all
the formats listed.
Where would I be able to get information that will help me
achieve this ?

There are two parts to this,
Flash Media Server application - both client and server side. Check out the video conference app here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/sample_apps.html.
The client side app will be a .swf file which you can develop in Flash/Flex.
Second, you will have to embed this swf file in your asp.net page that will be delivered to browsers. I am not an expert in asp.net but googled a bit and get a feeling it's possible using
tag.
Also don't forget to check this link http://renaun.com/blog/2006/10/28/139/ for video conferencing app using flex and FMS.

Flash Media Player- missing controls

I am using the flash media player. When I publish the file, the controls seem to be missing from the player. I have the skin.swf file uploaded with the player....but it appears missing?
Could something else be causing this?

Reguardless of what is "encoded" into Shockwave Flash streaming player the fact that the settings default back to accept update notifications, allow peer to peer sharing, and storage settings still exist since the last several program updates.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
All programs have been updated, re-installed to all current versions. Checked everyday the player will reset anywhere from one to five days from being set. I also check before and after any utilities run on my systems to verify the change is not caused by any resident commands or software. Yes this happens on different computers and OS.
I run all maintenance and security manually, including updates of any kind.

Can only select English font when insert flash media

I am using Windows XP SP2 Chinese version and installed
Macromedia Studio 8, but I found a big problem when I using
Dreamweaver 8. When I insert flash media by (Insert -> Media
-> Flash Text or Flash Button), I cannot select Chinese font.
But if I insert general text, I can select chinese font.
Please help me to fix the problem. Thank a lot.

Flash media works only with TrueType fonts. This restriction
applies to
all languages, including English.

Not Sure Where To Start (Dreamweaver/Flash)

I need to update my website and was planning on making the majority of it Flash. But I see that Dreamweaver is supposed to be what I build the foundation of the site with.
I am new to the CS4 Suite (Design Premium) and know enough to maintain the site I inherited but haven't ever started from scratch. In the past I've normally coded the sites by hand but have gotten my self up to speed on Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash enough to do what I need to do with the current site but I need to know more. Like creating CSSs.
So I guess where I'm going with this post is that I have a few questions that might need to be broken out into different posts:
1) a) If my main page is going to be Flash intensive do I start in Dreamweaver or Flash and how do I incorporate that into Dreamweaver?
b) In Dreamweaver is there a way to code the new site to autosize based on screen resolution? Is there a technical term for this?
2) What are some good non-beginner resources where a beginner can jump in head first and not drown?
For example, when I first had to teach myself Flash to update my website I bought a few books, Adobe Flash CS4 Professional - "Classroom In A Book", Adobe Press; Flash CS4 - The Missing Manual, O'Reilly; and Learning Action Script 3.0, O'Reilly, but none of them seemed to have what I needed to just jump in and do what I needed to do. There was some good info but I mainly had to just start playing with Flash to accomplish what I needed to do.
Is that what would be recommended with Dreamweaver? I actually have a book from Adobe Press, "HOW-TOs - 100 Essential Techniques".
Any other recommendations?
Thanks for any assistance and thanks for putting up with this post that jumps all over the place.

The problems with Flash intensive web sites are three-fold.
1) Search engines don't rank them highly because spiders can't index Flash content.
2) Flash sites are not usable by people and devices (eg. mobile phones) that don't support Flash Player.
3) Flash content cannot be "seen" by translators, screen readers and other web assisting technologies.
Use DW to build your X/HTML and CSS code. Insert Flash media if required into your DW pages pages but also provide text alternatives for people/devices that can't use Flash.
b) In Dreamweaver is there a way to code the new site to autosize based
on screen resolution? Is there a technical term for this?
Yes. See this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2574646#2574646
2) What are some good non-beginner resources where a beginner can jump
in head first and not drown?
Work through this 6-part tutorial. Lots of good information.

Slow connection to flash media server 2 (with HTTP Tunneling)

Hello,
I use a FMS2 for a big project which include Instant
Messenger and
streaming video.
On my development platform. I have no problem. But in the
final
configuration, the connection to Flash Media Server takes a
lot of
time (about 2 or 3 minutes) and i can't find why.
FMS2 was installed on Windows 2003 Server behind a proxy and
a
firewall which only let the hostport 80 oppened.
The server does not run a web server (or anyother
application) which
use this hostport.
The connection are established by HTTP Tunneling.
Does someone already have the same problem?
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my poor english level.
Guillaume

I forgot to mention:
Flash Media server is running fine. I can log into the Admin
application no probs.
I created a folder called "test". Inside that folder I
created another one called streams and inside that folder I created
a folder called _definst_.
I placed an flv file called: test.flv in to the _definst_
folder.
In Dreamweaver CS3 I inserted a Flash Video File:
Chose Streaming as the option and for the RTMP path I put:
rtmp://ipaddressofserver/test/_definst_/test.flv
Called the stream....test.
When i run the page it loads, but the page is blank.
In the Flash Media Server, in the "View Applicationd" tab
I get the record of test and underneath it in the same link
it says test.flv with 1 client
The Streams tab shows a random name and Netstream.
This tells me its recognising the connection and link, but
the movie is not on the page
any help would be appreciated
cheers

Adobe Bridge Buttons in Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks?

Hello,
Adobe says that the button to connect to Adobe bridge is in
every CS3 application. I can find it in Photoshop, Illustrator, and
even Contribute, a former Macromedia project, but none of the other
Macromedia projects (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks) have one. Am I
missing it, or is this a glitch?
Thanks,
Dylan

Go to Edit > Prefs > Enable Version Cue. Once you do
that look in the lower left corner of the flash
application - you should see "Open" with an arrow. Clicking
on it will popup "Reveal in Bridge" button.

Help me step by step for using Flash Media Server!

Dear all!
With reference to advertisement/introduction of in website (http://www.adobe.com/ ), I am writing to you to request some things bellows:
My company would like build video streaming application on Website (and mobile in future), maybe something likes http://youtube.com . It is streaming: films, video clips with the different sizes which are stored in folder of server with high quality, powerful, secure, extendable, high-performance, highly scalable, and custom video solutions. After I went through the Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 of Adobe I see that it seem usefully with the streaming video application of my company. So that, before my company purchases the Flash Media Interactive 3.5 software we would like use trial the Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 software with full features, unlimited the end users, and full functions in few months. And we hope you provide full Flash Media Interactive 3.5 software and guide clearly, more details and more focus for “how to use the Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 for matching with our application” during use trial. If we see this software which displays well the streaming video application and it matches with our application so that we will purchase this software immediately.
Addition, did we have the encoder (video, film) software when we purchase full Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5? Because, I know that adobe media encoder CS4 supports for encoding video/film to FLV/F4V, but it is different software and do not package with Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 software. And do you have software to encode automatically video/film like flash media live encoder? Because I think that there are some troubles to use adobe media encoder CS4 for encoding video/film such as: sequential, so slow, non-auto encoding and occupies 100% CPU performance.
Finally, adobe flash player 10 in Flash Media Interactive 3.5 has HD (+,-) feature. But I do not know to use it? Could you tell us more?
Please give me your hotmail for chatting and reply us early!
Thank for your prompt help!
Sincerely,
Thao Nguyen Thi,

Hi Thao Nguyen Thi,
You could download the Flash Media Development Server for free which provides the complete feature set. The only limitation is on the number of connects (allows only 10). But you could use that to try out a scaled down deployment which might give you an idea on what factors to consider while scaling up while allowing you to try out the streaming aspects.
There is also this helpful document http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/fmis_largescale_deploy.html which gives a lot of useful information while going about the deployment.
From what you say you seem to be interested to know the deployment of Video on Demand (VOD) streams.
Thanks

Any help would be appreciated .

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.
at KZFlash_fla::Sound_2/KZFlash_fla::frame1()
Hope that helps.

Please help, need to import .swf/flash media

Hi all, have a little issue here. I have some SWF flash media and I want to bring it into imovie so I can edit it more effectivley then with qt. However, I have been haveing alot of trouble, most time I only get the audio part of it and no image. Most of the media is widescreen, I was able to export the media in qt to dv stream and then import it, however, it lost its widescreen look and was kinda squished from the sides if that makes sense, if anybody has expeirence with this type of media, please help.
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
I've never "dared" to convert .swf, but I read a lot about problems doing so... probably the Quicktime section of this forum is better to ask...
maybe a much easier workaround is using tools as SnapzPro from Ambrosia; this tool claims to "record" any screen content (and audio) and convert it directly into any wanted format (as dv)...
just a thought.......
