Embed movie controls

I have a Flash site that imports HTML copy from external text
files. On one of the pages, I would like to list some clickable
links to show some video clips. How do I get the swf to know that a
certain link should start playing a movie clip, and display said
clip onto a spot on the stage?
I can send the fla file if nessessary. Site posted below.
Thanks.

if you need links within html text to call an AS function,
use

How do I move control of my ATV from one Mac to another in the same house?

I have two iMacs in the office. I have ATV2 on my flat screen TV. I want to move control of ATV from one iMac running Snow Leopard to to the other running Lion, because of more and better content. Not sure how to accomplish this. Thanks for any help you can lend.

Ok I understand that but my ATV only appears in the left control column of one iMac and not the other. Not the one I want to control it with.

Interactive movie controls

Hi,
Sorry if this a silly question or not appropriate for Premiere. I am creating a presentation for my company, a corporate looking one. I built one in Flash, which was fine, but a bit fidly, as the presentation was very long (about ten minutes) and with a huge amount of layers. I found the image quality to be poor on Flash, and as PowerPoint is out of the question I want to build it on Premiere. I have used Premiere before, not very experienced but I get by.
I dont really want to have a movie that just plays through itself with no interaction. Is there a way to add movie controls, as in the first section of the presentation will play, then stop until a button is clicked (like an interactive PDF) and if so can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to use them?
Sorry if this is obvious.
Thank you

Movie controls stopped working

my movie controls have stopped working
such as
the trans port controls appear when I move the mouse
using the escape key to cancel out of the movie
the ONLY way I can close a full screen movie is to click it and look for an 'x' in the upper left corner.
I am on a mbp retina runing the latest os/itunes.

I am having a similar problem with my two MacBook Pros, but only with You Tube. When I play a You Tube video on my even older Mac Pro, the volume is fine. I've researched this extensively, but will admit I'm not too good at understanding all the options in the Mac Preferences. Nevertheless, I've tried multiple suggestions to no avail. Were it not for the fact that YouTube works fine on my MacPro, I'd believe it was a You Tube problem. But I don't.
All three computers are running the same Mac OS.

In QuickTime 10 is there a way to hide the movie controls when paused?

Is there anyway to hide the movie controls in quicktime when pausing movies? It's quite irritating when trying to analyse video, especially when resolution is low, and can't move the controls out of the video window to see whole picture. There should be a way to move them outside the movie window?

Click the mouse while it is over the player window. The onscreen controls and title bar will disappear.

K3 : turning movie controls off

Seems the keynote team forgot to put a chackbox in the quicktime inspector so we can turn a particular movie's control to OFF (so this movie doesn't show controls when the mouse is mooved, while still showing them for other movies on the slide)
lots of us are using motion/livetype and so on to bring more life in our presentations, but for now, we have to stick with K2, since in K3, those elements get a controller when we don't want it.
is there a way?

A workaround is to put the motion graphics on the master - when a movie is on the master, it will play immediately when the slide comes up, but will not show the movie controls. This isn't ideal, of course, since it means creating a separate master for each slide with a background motion graphic, but it does work.

Play pause movie controls

I would like to create play/pause movie controls that for different flv files.
I do not want to use skins but have the controls as part of the movie/video.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial source that will help me design these?

Movie control bar in iwev

I have done a spreadsheet with numerous movie clips. They all worked fine until just recently. The movie control bar will not accept inputs. It works fine in iweb. I ultimately just went to autoplay to keep the site running. There is a small down pointing triangle when the bar appears on the web.

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

QT movie controler doesn't work ...

After draging and placed a QT movie (h.264) and published my site, the movie controler doen't work ... I keep clicking on it and nothing happens .... The movie only starts if click twice over the movie and stops if I click once ....

QTKirk ..... You are the Man ! You will not believe but I had just found the solution when my mac emmited a sound "saying" that I had a new message and it was yours ! After 1 and 1/2 day trying to solve that damm issue, I though that it could be the problem. I turned on the layout view, increased the page height ... placed the movie a little bit above the footer line and VOILÁ !!! All movies played smoothly well .... lol .
Despite I had already found the solution, I said that "you are the man" because not even the Apple Guys at their "Chat Dept." could help me .... I'm an Editor, not a Web Designer and because of that I was already thinking that iWeb does not deal very well with videos edited in Final Cut Pro and encoded/compressed via Compressor..... Thanks for have spent your time answering me and keep giving good advices as you did, as someone who knows what is talking.

Embed movie clip in flex

Hey,
I have converted a avi file to an swf file with "MediaCoder".
My plan was to simply embed this movie clip into my flex application, which did not work for me. :-(
How can I embed the swf movie into flex AND play/stop the movie with buttons?
I tested the following code, but when I click on the stop button I get the error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Der Zugriff auf eine Eigenschaft oder eine Methode eines null-Objektverweises ist nicht möglich."
Obviously there is a problem with that swf file because another swf file is working...

Actully I have two frame in movie clip(cs3). On mouse hover
it goes to second frame and on mouse out it comes to first frame.
Now when I am using this movie clip in flex and want to get the
click event on that movie clip it does not work at once. If I
remove the mouse hover and mouse out from movie clip the click
event works. But to get those mouse hover and mouse and in over
movie clip I had to write to many code.
However that mouse hover and mouse out by flex over movie
clip it takes time to get work.

How to embed movie scenes...

How do I go about, using Mac OS X (10.6.5) and Keynote'09 to embed short scenes from a movie (either downloaded or DVD) for use in Keynote presentation?
Thank you.

You have asked a very complex question in a few short words. Since I am at a point of marking time, I'll try to cover your question as simply as possible.
1) you must get the video clip into a format that will permit you to place it in the Keynote. These natively are .mov, .avi, .dv. If your video is downloaded using piracy software from YouTube, it will be either H264 (HTML5) or .flv (Flash Media player) or .wmv (Windows Media). To play .flv or .wmv on a Mac, you need to install Perian as a helper app. It will assist QuickTime to play many formats it doesn't natively. So, with Perian, you can install .wmv or .flv into Keynote or other Mac Apps. The other option is to buy the .mgeg plug in for QuickTime. You have other options for .mpeg, so do a Google search.
2) using YouTube videos or clips from DVD, places you in liability for copyright infringement unless you pay a royalty on the clip or you are using the "fair use defense." Sometimes you hear people call it the fair use provision, or doctrine, or something else, but the fact is that there is no such thing as a written fair use clause, provision, or anything else. Fair use is a set of criteria that are suggested guidelines. They can be the basis of potential defense if you are sued for use of the copyright material. It is up to a judge to determine if you meet the criteria and, therefore, do not have to pay royalties. There are four main criteria. You can look them up.
3) if you meet the fair use criteria and you want to take the chance, then you can acquire software to help you capture the clips from various sources. TVTube can be used to capture YouTube videos into .mov files. Snap-Z-Pro 2 can be used to screen capture video from a number of sources that play on the computer screen and they can be saved in .mov files. And of course, you can download those that are set up for such download.
4) once you have the clip captured and on your computer you can insert it into your Keynote presentation by using Insert>choose and selecting the video, If you have Perian installed, you can use almost any format for the video and it will play. If you want to make things nicer, buy QuickTime Pro and it gives you the option of opening any file format (if you have Perian installed) it reads and exporting it to .mov.
So this just scratches the surface of an answer to your question. Basically, remember..
1) Is your intended use one for which you can meet copyright expectations by paying a royalty or that it seems to meet the provisions of fair use? If it doen't, don't do it. It's not worth breaking the law or exposing yourself to civil liability. ("I am just doing it for my company and our employees will be the only ones to see it!!!" Right!!! Do you REALLY want to take the chance?)
2) Capture the video in a format compatible with QuickTime. Add plug ins and helper software (even if it costs) to expand the capabilities of QuickTime.
3) Insert into Keynote using the Insert>Choose menu option. Use the Build Inspector to control entrance and exit of video, if used, and the QuickTime Inspector (far right of the Inspector box) to control the characteristics of the video.
So, this is a start to understanding a complex issue.

Simple swf movie control

I am still getting used to scripting from within Flex. I have
a very simple flash movie that indicates a value from 0 to 100% -
one frame for each percent. I want to embed that movie into a Flex
application and control the swf's position in the timeline from
within the Flex application.
I know that I cannot just use:
"SWF.gotoAndStop(currentFrame)" or
"MovieClip(SWF.content).gotoAndStop(currentFrame)" ...
but I would like to find a simple solution - if one exists. I
do not want to create 101 separate swf files and change the source
every time I need to change the frame.

You can communicate with a loaded SWF through the
SWFLoader.content property. This gives you access to any public
members of the swf.
If you implement a public method, like setPos(iPercent:int),
you should be able to call that method thropugh the content
property.
Note that there are timing issues wotking with content in a
loaded SWF. SWFLoader has to be complete, and you need to listen
for the Application.complete event before interacting with the swf.
If you have difficulty with this, I have an example on
www.cflex.net. Search for swfloader.

Quicktime Pro - missing movie controls in browser plugins

When viewing QT movies in my browsers, I have full functionality except that the control strip is replaced with a black bar. Buttons do behave (the volume slider even appears if I click where it should be) but they are not displayed.
This occurs in both Firefox 2.0.1 and IE 7. It happens with QT 7.1.3 and also happened with the previous version (7.0.2 I believe).
My OS is WinXP x64
Mac Pro 2.66 Other OS Windows XP 64bit

Well... since the generic feedback form is the only other way to post any kind of information to Apple about QuickTime (incredibly short-sided for a paid "pro" product) we'll continue to post here regardless of whether it is "supported".
Quicktime Pro is an important part of my company's pipeline... which is also dependent on Windows 64bit (32bit just doesn't cut it for highly complex, high-resolution 3D rendering). There is no alternative.

Captivate is confusing my movie controls

Hi,
I have a shell project that includes some animations
(published captivate movies with controls on). When I import that
movies as animations into my project, I can see in the library that
the controls I chose from the skin properties are correct.
When I preview or publish, I get totally different controls
I've never seen before located in a different location on the
screen. I tried add the move to an empty project and it looked
fine. I decided to recreate my shell with a new empty project, add
some movies but I still get the same results.
Do anybody have similar issues or a workaround.
Thank lisa

Hi Rick,
Oh, I hope you can help since my whole course is based on
this structure. Let's see if I can explain better. I don't know if
screen shots will help. let me know.
1)I have a project which I call my shell. It basically
contains branding, back and next navigation. This project will
becomes the a module in my course.
2) I have multiple projects that are demonstrations. They are
small enough to fit in the main shell movie.
3) The smaller projects have a few controls like rewind,
pause and back.
4) once ready i insert the small projects as animations
(published swfs with controls) into the main shell.
5) If I look at the shell library, I see my animatons with
the proper controls.
6) However, if I preview or publish I get different controls
in different locaton.
I've tested this as a simple case. I have even add blank
slides between, played with timing of animations, etc, but still
get the same results. If there are no controls in the smaller
movies, there is no problem.
1) create a new blank project
2) add 3 blank slides
3) on each slide insert an animation (captivate published
movie with controls)
4) once i preview or publish I get inconsistent results where
one has the proper controls but the others don't

Need to remove flash movie controls ( skin )

using Dreamweaver 8 - have imported an flv file into a
standard html page and it all works great when I publish - my
problem is DW 8 is making me choose a skin and the skins controls (
play RW, FF, ect..) semi transparent as they are, are directly over
some text of the movie. How do I tell DW I do not want a skin or
that I do not want any controls?

> DW 8 does not provide me a _no skin_ option
That's the thing. You've identified the problem. Dw doesn't
offer a no skin
option for this. It is not an option.
There is no option when importing an flv into dw to have no
controls show.
There isn't a choice to not have controls show if you use dw
to import an
flv.
do you need any other re-wording of the basic fact?
The message thread is kind of at the point of explaining that
it's a an
ex-parrot.
If you want to ask for this to be included in dreamweaver in
the future,
search on the adobe.com for dreamweaver wishlist.
If you do these operations IN FLASH instead of using the
Import flv menu
choice in dreamweaver, you WILL have a way to have no
controls on the skin.
