Embedded FLV never displays

I've embedded an FLV file (created in Premiere Pro CS4) using Dreamweaver CS4 and I cannot get the actual video to show/play in any browser. If you right click where the video is located on the page, or highlight everything on the screen, you can see the defined outline of it, but nothing ever actually loads/shows. I uploaded all of the files that Dreamweaver created with its little FLV embed wizard, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

your netconnection is failing. what's the path/name of the video you're trying to play? are you using a relative path to the video?

Help with video in Flex - Alternative to embedding .flv?

I'm building a Flex application that needs to play a video, which I have in .flv format. I tried the mx:VideoDisplay component, and it was great, but, unfortunately, I need to be able to package the entire application into a single file, and Flex doesn't support embedding .flv files. Next I tried converting the .flv to a .swf, embedding that, then using mx:SWFLoader to display it. This worked, except that I can no longer control the video playback; the video just keeps endlessly looping. I need to be able to stop the video, and ideally I would like access to something like the complete event from mx:VideoDisplay, so that I can hide the video when it has reached the end.
I have tried a couple of solutions based around the idea that the content of the .swf can be treated as a MovieClip, but none of these worked for me. Any ideas?

E4200v2 - DHCP client list NEVER displays

As the most expensive and hyped "consumer router" at the local big-box stores, and after already returning a Netgear N600 that appeared to be defective, I had high hopes that this router would work properly and I could stop fooling with router settings and move on to real work. And I'll acknowledge that for a lot of folks this router will probably be fine. I didn't do any speed measurements or methodical testing, but it seems pretty fast and using it for more than three weeks it seemed reliable. However, it had several issues that were maddening and ultimately for me, unacceptable. Summarized as follows:
> The DHCP client list NEVER displays all the clients connected on my network, no matter how many times I look. These clients are actively transferring data, and I can download free programs from the web that report all clients reliably. Why is this so difficult??
> The logging feature is ridiculous - it often didn't log events that I knew had occurred, and even when they were shown, you would only see an entry if you checked the log very quickly after the event (some sort of "auto-flush" function that makes the whole feature pretty useless).
> The previous issues are annoying - but this was the deal-breaker. I could not connect to an OpenVPN device on my network through this router. I could connect to the device locally, I could connect to other devices remotely through other forwarded ports, and I could see in the log (if I looked quickly enough) that the router was seeing the connection attempt to the OpenVPN device, but it was getting blocked. Many hours searching forums and experimenting with router settings / firmware updates did not help.
> In the pursuit of resolving the third issue, and with very low expectations, I contacted Linksys tech support. This proved to be a complete waste of time. After working through the front-line guy who only knew how to look through the User's Guide, I was connected to another person who was even more clueless and was almost robotic in his hard-coded sequence of attempts to guide me through silly procedures that had absolutely nothing to do with my problem. After again asking if I could speak to someone that might actually understand the issue I was put on hold for more than 20 minutes, at which point the call was disconnected (I think this means they hung up on me).
So once again I'm returning an expensive router that doesn't work properly and will be trying something else. It shouldn't be this difficult.

With reference to your post I would like to know that does all the client devices on your network runs on DHCP or some of them have static IP address as well? The devices which are running on static IP address will not be displayed in the DHCP client table.
Regarding the logs that are not being created on the router for any event that takes place could be because of the reason that you might be using another router or a gateway before your linksys router.
As far as your VPN issue is concerned please try to disable the firewall of the router and then try to connect to the open VPN device because this router acts like a VPN passthrough.

How can I trigger an onchange event for hidden or never displayed item

hi -- I have an item that I don't want displayed on my page -- more info than the user wants or needs; call it B. It needs to be
set by an onchange event from a visible item (A); then, the change of B triggers on onchange to set another item (visible) -- C.
When B is visible on the page, it all works. If I make it hidden or conditionally never displayed, it doesn't work. From the looks of
it, B never gets changed.
How can I trigger this onchange event (from B to set C) with B not visible?
Thanks,
Carol

hi Varad -- Probably more info than you want... but here's the whole chain of events.
Hope it answers your question.
C
**** 1
In A's html form element attributes (simplified; I took out the irrelevant call to jsLookupValue that sets another item).
onchange='jsLookupValue($v("P142_SITE_ID"),"site_id","P142_OBJECTTYPE_ID","objecttype_id","hdb_site_syn");'
**** 2
jsLookupValue is the following.
The statement that actually sets the value of B is: $s(dest_item_name, jsonobj.row[0].RETURN_VAL);
function jsLookupValue(source_item_value, source_column_name, dest_item_name, dest_column_name, lookup_table_name){
// Continue only if there are valid values
if (valueOf(source_column_name)&&valueOf(dest_item_name)&&valueOf(dest_column_name)&&valueOf(lookup_table_name)){
//Check to see if the source_item_value is null (either all spaces or empty
//If it is, set the dest item to null, but only if it's not already --
//otherwise we get into a loop.
source_item_value = trim(source_item_value);
dest_item_value = trim($v(dest_item_name));
if (source_item_value.length==0) {
if (dest_item_value.length != 0) {
$s(dest_item_name, null);
}else{
//This is the AJAX call to the Application Process from step 1
ajaxRequest = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=LOOKUP_VALUE',0);
//Here we are adding that x01 parameter we use in the app process with the value of the objecttype_name field
ajaxRequest.addParam('x01', source_item_value);
ajaxRequest.addParam('x02', source_column_name);
ajaxRequest.addParam('x03', dest_item_name);
ajaxRequest.addParam('x04', dest_column_name);
ajaxRequest.addParam('x05', lookup_table_name);
//Now do the actual AJAX call and put the result in ajaxResponse
ajaxResponse = ajaxRequest.get();
//Check if there is a response
if (ajaxResponse) {
//We need to format the JSON return string and put it in a JSON object
// the formatting is done by a function in the external JSON library
// the jsonobj can be used to retrieve the data returned by the App process
var jsonobj= ajaxResponse.parseJSON();
// And finally, we set the DNAME item with the value of the jsonobj.DNAME
// an array was created in the object with the name row, so that is why you have to include row[0] to retrieve the data
if (jsonobj.row[0].RETURN_VAL != $v(dest_item_name)) {
$s(dest_item_name, jsonobj.row[0].RETURN_VAL);
}else{
} //not setting
}else{
alert('No response from app process');
} //no response
} //no source item value
} //no bad nulls
} //function
**** 3
I won't bore you with app process LOOKUP_VALUE. It just builds an sql query that gets the value for B, aliased to RETURN_VAL.

How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
(Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
In this case responsivness should work.

Photoshop element 9 Organizer never displays commands the File, Edit,etc.

I bought “Adobe Photoshop element 9 Classroom in a Book” after I had already imported my photos into the program. When I tried to follow the instructions, “Creating a new catalog” in page 9 of the book, I was not able to choose File>Catalog to open its dialog box and create a new one – the commands at top of the Organizer did not display the commands File – Edit – Find – View – Window or Help. As a matter of fact, the Organizer never displays these commands at all. Please help!

Embedding FLV Video Into PDF Files

I have been testing out embedding FLV files into PDF's to simplify presentations (no need for Powerpoint, DVD player, DVD player software, etc..). It is a bit slow when a big video file will load, but I think it is worth it for the simplified presentation method.
My problem is this, whenever I embed an FLV file into a PDF, it seems to degrade the quality down a notch or two. I am not concerned about file size since these will always be played locally from a hard drive or CD so I created the embedded FLV file to be high quality and very crisp (720 x 486, ~2200kbs bit rate). However, no matter how good a file I embed, after it becomes embedded it always looks worse. At this point, it has mainly been trial and error, but the original quality does not seem to matter as to how it will look in the PDF.
Does Acrobat Pro re-encode the video no matter if it is FLV or not? And is there anyway to change the settings so it does not alter the existing quality?
Thank you.

Are you inserting a screen capture FLV of the whole screen. I use camtasia Studio to capture my desktop in video... and if the playback is NOT at the same size as the original...then it can look blurry.

Trouble with Firefox - Embedded .flv screws up layout

The following site was created as a photoshop .html. I created a blank box in the middle of the page that I later used Dreamweaver CS4 to remove the dummy 380x286 .jpeg and insert my 380x286 .flv in the empty table. Renders great in Safari and IE, but when viewed in Firefox, extra spaces are inserted around the page, throwing off the whole layout. Does anyone have any suggestions???
This is a problem page: http://debraoppenheim.com/test/reel.html (notice the black spaces under "debra oppenheim" in the upper left)
This is a page that's fine (no embedded .flv): http://debraoppenheim.com/test/home.html
HELP!
Thanks in advance,
David

Progressive download flv never plays

Using CS3
Hello people,
Like the title states my Progressive download never plays. Before I waste your time and mine showing the methods used I rather start off simple.
Are there any reasons an flv might not be allowed to stream? I have followed the methods in every Progressive video tutorial I can find (about 7 so far) and they explain the exact same steps yet my flv never plays. I have also done it entirely with just action scripte and nothing. I get the player and my video list but never get the video.
Yes, I have the Source set to the web directory of my flv in the parameters in the property inspector.
I have also tried to use this method with other types of video and it also never plays. The only thing that works is embedd it which is of course a terrible only choice.
Not sure this is the correct place to post this but the other choices I saw look like a worst choice than this one.

It plays fine locally but just doesn't on the server.
I read another post when someone mentioned something about their host being the problem which I don't understand. I stream audio no problem and have 11 websites. I have never done anything with video though until now other than Premeire and After Effects with actually editing video but no idea what the host would be blocking in a progressive streaming situation. I know my host doesn't have Flash Media Server but that's why I've been trying progressive.

On export, embedded flv video restart issue

After exporting my project (either as SWF or MOV), when I play the exported file, the flv video I have embedded in the timeline starts over whenever a motion tween begins in a separate layer. Why might this be happening? I'm using CS6.

Ah, figured it out. Totally my fault- in playback within flash, the video freezes on its final frame, which was the effect I intended, but on export embedded flvs apparently repeat, so I just took a screen shot of the final frame and put that in for the duration I wanted the frame to stay frozen. Your suggestion actually led me to this realization, thank you.

When I publish as an .mp4, the embedded .flv videos clip at the end

I am using Captivate 6.0.1.240. I have .flv videos that were encoded using Adobe Media Encoder from a .mov file. The videos are embedded on the slide, as multi-slide synchronized video, but only distributed across one slide (as strange as this might seem, it is what was recommended to me because using Event Video resulted in choppy video).
Now, the videos clip off a second or so before the end of the video. There are no transitions on the video slide or on the slide following it. I have tried extending the length of the slide beyond the length of the video, to no avail.
What am I missing? How do I get the embedded .flv videos to play fully?

Hi there,
As you told you have checked that there is no transition on the Slide on which you have the video.
Have you checked the transition effect on that video, whether Fade out only or fade in and fade out is selected. Select that multi slide video and click on the properties panel and check the transition on it.
Also, if this video is on the last slide, check the fade in and fade out on the project. (edit > Preferences > Project > start and end)
Thanks.

Problems with embedding .flv files in DW CS4....

I inserted an .flv file into my DW CS4 html page. I previewed it in my browser, and it worked for a little bit, but now it's not working in any browser, I'm not sure what happened. I included a screen shot in the attachments of what was happening in all the browsers.
Thanks for any help,
Thank you,
Aza

Re: Problems with embedding .flv files in DW CS4....
A link to the page would help us diagnose your problem.
Safari tells me that this file -
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
is not where you have told the page to expect it. Did you upload it?

When I load a page, the title on the tab never appears, it always says "New Tab" or "Connecting..." and ultimately never displays the actual title. [SOLVED]

When I load a page, the title on the tab never appears, it always says "New Tab" or "Connecting..." and ultimately never displays the actual title. It's really no more complicated than that, but it's pretty annoying, it happened when I updated to Firefox 4, and it happens both at work and at home.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

How to tween embedded flv file

Hello. I am actually working in Flash cs5.5, but I didn't know where else to post this as this is not really based on Actionscript.
I've imported 4 flv video files into my main file. What'd I'd like is for there to be a video in each corner and have each one enlarge to fill the screen for a moment and then shrink back up and go back into its original corner. I can't put a keyframe into an embedded flv file, though. Anyone know how to do this? Let me know if I need to explain this more.

Awesome!! Thank you! The flv playback component didn't work b/c when I put a keyframe in there to make the size larger, it just started the movie back from the beginning.
So then I did the flv inside a movieclip action that you suggested, and it works perfectly! Thank you very much.

Embedded flv smoothing

any way to enable a more smooth look for embedded flv in a swf? when i scale these flv's down they look a little bit pixelated. thanks!

Sorry to repeat me, but Flash is simply not up to the task you have in mind.
1.Long (>30 secs) Timelines combined with videos/Animations will most definitively get out of synch.
2.Precompressed videos will look even worse than the original (which you already learned)
3.You are in a constant danger of Flash crashing the longer your timeline gets and the more videos you embed, at this point simply scrubbing the timeline poses a high risk of getting flash to crash and destroying your complete work.
Believe me when I say you would be better advised to import all these videos and Audiotracks into after effects/premiere/Premiere Elements and then export it for youtube purposes.
If you absolutely must use Flash:
Set a ll the video instances bitmapSmoothing property to true and see if that improves the quality.
so if video1 starts on frame 1 and video2 starts on frame 155
insert the following Lines of Code at keyframes 1/155
video1.bitmapSmoothing = true;
video2.bitmapSmoothing = true;
//and so on for all videoinstances
