DW Flash Video Insert - Play Once?

Is there any way to modify the SWF controls created when DW
inserts FLV so that the video is only played once per session?
Thanks

No, the video will play each time the page is reloaded. You
need to
control the playing programmatically, but don't ask me how.
You might
get more practical help in the Flash forum.

Flash Video not playing in IE6

I have a flash video embedded in my page that plays fine in
FF and IE7, however when loading the page in IE6 the video is
absent (the "red x" is in its place) and I receive the message
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result the page may not display correctly."
Now, this happens in IE6 only on the default security
settings. I have other sites that embed flash video and play fine
in IE6 without warning...they weren't created with Dreamweaver CS3
though.
What is triggering this in IE 6 and can I remove some code
from my page to prevent this?
Thanks for any help to what is probably a noobish
question.

Cant Make Flash Video Stop Playing

I am using an HTMLLoader to display a web page in a
NativeWindow. The web page I am displaying has an embedded flash
video that plays in it. That all works fine. The problem I have is
that when they close the window, the flash video keeps playing. The
only way to stop it is to close the entire app.
Is there a way to somehow make the HTMLLoader stop playing
the content?

I figured it out. I found a reply that fixed this problem for
someone with a SWFLoader and it works for the HTMLLoader.
Here is the answer if you need it, where html is the name of
the HTMLLoader.
html.load(null);
html.reload();

Keep hearing white noise when a flash video is playing

Whenever a flash video is playing (ie. Youtube) then I will hear white noise in the foreground and barely hear the original audio in the background. This also happens with facebook notifications and other flash sounds. I have checked my sound card and drivers and also switched the sound card over to see if this solves the problem but it seems to just be linked with Firefox at the moment

hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

Cannot get 92MB flash video to play on server

I've done this numerous times locally, but this is the first
time I've done such a large video for play on a web server.
I have a 92MB FLV (640x480 700k.) Using Flash 9.0 I created
an AS3 FLA and imported the FLV. I gave it one of the stock
players, positioned it in the scene (it's the only thing in the
scene) and changed autoplay to false. Then I published it and the
HTML. Viewing the HTML locally, it plays fine. Once on the web
server, I can view the browser activity and it loads the 92MB FLV
but the progress indicator displays perpetual loading stripes.
I have the SWF set to reference the FLV in the same
directory. Meaning, the source is simply the name of the FLV.
Here's where it gets really odd. I did the same thing with a
48MB FLV and it works fine. Both are encoded the same other than
the 48MB FLV is 400x300 @ 350k. I uploaded it (with the player swf,
and AC file of course) to the web server and it plays perfectly. It
downloads as it plays.
So I took that FLA, saved as, changed the source of the FLV
to the 700k file, resized the scene, positioned the FLV and hit
publish. I made no other changes from the 350k file. I uploaded the
swf and HTML and it still wont play. I've tried three browsers on
two different machines... same issue on all.
Any ideas why it wont play? It plays locally and when linked
to a smaller file.
Thanks

Did you embed the FLV or do you reference to the files? What
is the filename (any non-ASCII characters, starting with
digit)?

Flash video wont play until fully buffered

Some flash videos, like ones from blip.com wont play until fully buffered but Youtube and other flash based sites work just fine. The ads will play, but when they are done it will just be a buffering wheel until it is 100%, then it works like normal.I have tried; reinstalling flash, different browsers (chrome, Firefox, IE), reinstalling browsers, disabling all extensions/plugin, disabling anti virus, but nothing seems to work. When the same video is played in windows safe mode, they work just fine, so its something else running

Post a link to the page, please.

Can't get Quicktime videos to play once uploaded - using iWeb 08

Please help. I just updated my work website and uploaded a few quicktime videos of my TV spots. These same spots were uploaded and played fine on my last website update last year. But this time around, they're not working so well. Once uploaded, if you click on the controls under the screen, they don't respond. If you double-click the actual screen, the video starts and stops playing.
How can I get my quicktime videos to play like they're supposed to on my site? I'm using iWeb 08 and my version of Safari is 5.0.2.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked. However, it's three different videos on three different pages, and each video is pretty much the only thing on each page.
That would be great if you would take the time to access my site and see if you can find what the problem is. My URL is www.haleyturner.com. Click on the first square, the second square, and the last square to access the quicktime video pages.

Cap 4: Flash Videos not playing correctly

I have flv files on 3 different slides of my project. When I publish the project, the 2nd and 3rd videos will play the audio but the video only displays the first frame from the first video.
I published the flv files from Camtasia 7. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you think it could be a Firefox setting, try:
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, choose a useful name (like May2014), and skip the option to use a non-default folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Does Flash work any differently in the new profile?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Flash videos not playing correctly

I posted some flash videos to some sites that get a
tremendous amount of website traffic. We are getting feedback that
the flash videos do not play consitently. Some people can see them
just fine, others cannot see the videos at all, for others -
particulary in Firefox, the video asks to download rather than
play. We created the videos using Flash 9 - importing the FLV file
and saving as an swf. We do not really see any type of pattern
across browsers.
Any advice?

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

No matter how many uninstalls and reinstalls Firefox 4 will not play flash videos w the latest flash plugin installed. What do I do to get flash videos to play like everyone esle can?

Trying to solve my non-playing flash videos wherever I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1, such as CNN or anywhere really while surfing. Even at the Adobe web site I cannot play demo videos and I own CS4 Suite. I can play any YouTube video I select.
I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1. Don't tell me to UNINSTALL then REINSTALL the flash player as I have done that too many times.
I logged out and logged into my clean account where I install nothing. No joy.
What the heck is the problem? No one else seems to have this problem as I am told many play CNN videos fine.

Hi arpriltime,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Flash videos only play for about 2-5 seconds

Ever since I've had to restore my whole computer, (due to sound and airport card problems which are still unresolved) any flash video such as youtube videos or any others will only play for 5 seconds (yes I still care about videos playing even though my sound is gone) and i've re-downloaded the flash player from adobe and now downloaded again the safari 3 beta, and it still won't work. Same thing on Firefox. Any ideas?

It's probably the new 'taste filter' trying to keep you from emberrasing yourself in public. Try playing them when you're alone. If it detects no one else is in the room, it may allow you to view them.
Seriously... Do they play in iTunes on your computer? If they're in your iTunes library, un-sync them from the phone, then sync them back.

Flash Video Insert Error

When I try to insert a flash video via Insert > Media >
Flash Video, I get
this error message: "URL cannot contain spaces or special
characters........"
The link shows "../flash/test1.swf " - a relative path in
Dreamweaver
8.
Any ideas to the cause, or a workaround?

If you use Insert > Media > Flash Video it is expecting
a .flv file
(although the error message is ambiguous to say the least).
I'm fairly sure
you need Insert > Media > Flash for a .swf

Solution: Flash Videos Not Playing - Win7 w/Comodo Firewall

On a brand new machine, I added my desired desired programs. These included Comodo Firewall and Firefox with assorted plugins and addons (including Adobe Flash Player, NoScript, FlashBlock, AdBlock Plus).
I soon discovered that videos would not play (Initially I could see some videos if they were using HTML5, but after some tweaks they were gone too). I tried MANY suggestions and tweaks found on various boards, nothing worked.
I should have learned long ago that I need to document ALL CHANGES I make to my system - but old habits die hard. I tried many things, with no notes written. I didn't know what issue was preventing Firefox from playing videos. Nothing I tried worked. After no success, I reset Firefox (sad to see my custom settings go). When I restarted Firefox with only the Flash Player plugin active, I still couldn't play videos.
More searches followed. I finally stumbled upon the solution on the Comodo site:
http://forums.comodo.com/defense-sandbox-help-cis/defense-in-clean-pc-mode-is-blocking-flash-uploader-in-firefox-3612-t64628.0.html;msg459022#msg459022
There I learned that Comodo Defense+ had blocked the Firefox Plugin Container (and Crash Reporter) from running.
I used the following steps to fix the problem on my system (w/Comodo Firewall 7.0.317799.4142):
1) Open Comodo Firewall (right-click the Comodo tray icon and select Open)
2) Select Tasks -> Sandbox Tasks -> Open Advanced Settings
3) In the "Advanced Settings" Window, select Defense+ -> HIPS -> Hips Rules
4) Find the entry for Firefox.exe. Right-Click it and Select Edit.
5) In the Comodo HIPS Rule for Firefox.exe window, select the "Access Rights" tab. Locate the "Run an executable" option. Click the modify link under the "Exclusions" column.
6) In the "Run an Executable" window, select the "Blocked Files/Folder" tab. Select the plugincontainer.exe entry and right-click -> remove to delete it. Do the same for the crashreporter.exe entry.
7) Click "OK" on each of the Comodo Firewall widows to save the changes and close the window.
After I did this, videos would play. My next task will be to reinstall my favorite extensions and see if I can get Firefox to work as I liked it on my old PC.
I hope this helps anyone with a similar setup.

That was very good research. Happy Computing !

Flash Video wont play in Dreamweaver/html

so strange, i have spent hours on this.
I can get a wmv file to play in dreamweaver (embed-plug in).
But I cannot get a flash .swf to play.
I have gone through quite a few tutorials, and still no luck.
Ive done the import into flash, convert to swf, publish,
and then insert Flash Movie in dreamweaver. I get the
green/white scrollbar, but it wont play.
Any ideas would be so helpful, this is my last thing to try
and figure out on my wedding website.
