Embedding FLV in cfm

Im working on a video databse project thatuses flash and xml
with a coldfusion backend system and one of the components I need
is a cintents page that ouputs all the videos stored in the
database. The problem is this needs to be done dynamically using
<cfoutput> and the code used to embed flvs in
html contains plenty of single #, which means cfoutput wont work.
Does anyone know of a way round this, such as an alternative
way of embedding the flv files?
Thanks
*Edit* Just found the answer, I just need to double the
hashes and it works fine with the standard code

Thanks for the tips so far.
From what I can tell, FLVPlayback with FlashVars looks like the way to go for my present purposes. I am brand-new to both FLVPlayback and FlashVars.
I am now trying to find documentation on the needed ActionScript. Haven't found it yet. One discussion makes it look as if all you need is
myFLV.contentPath = path/myFLV.flv;
which seems clearly wrong, while another suggests something likethis:
//Import flvplayback library
import fl.video.*;
//Init vars
var myFlashVar:String;
var my_FLVPlybk = new FLVPlayback();
//Add new element
addChild(my_FLVPlybk);
//New element properties
my_FLVPlybk.x = 0;
my_FLVPlybk.y = 0;
my_FLVPlybk.height = 500;
my_FLVPlybk.width = 750;
//Skin import
my_FLVPlybk.skin = "skin.swf"
//Flashvars code
var varName:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (varName in paramObj) {     myFlashVar = String(paramObj[varName]);
//Placed in html
params my_FLVPlybk.source = myFlashVar;
which looks like it might be close but not quite right.
Any help?

  • 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.

  • 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???

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Need help embedding FLV files  on a page

    I am working in apex 4.2 and am having trouble embedding a VLC player in an apex page. So far, I have been able to embed and play wmv or mpeg videos in apex. I am primarily testing in IE. Will worry about other browsers later (Sofari, Mozilla, etc).
    I have downloaded and installed a vlc player. The source code is as follows:
    <embed src="f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=media:::GP_MEDIA_ID:&P37_MEDIA_ID."
    autostart = "true" hidden="false" width="800" height="500" style="border-style:solid;" type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
    pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLan.VLCPlugin.2" </embed>
    However, when I go to the page, it still shows a broken link. I am not sure what is missing or where the problem lies. My only other "hunch" is that I haven't added or mapped out a mime-type for video/x-flv to one of the config files on my server. Could this be the problem??? Either way, I'm still stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Update:
    I removed the "iTunes Library" file from Home>>Music>>iTunes, which allowed me to get back into iTunes, but I don't know how to connect to the files without it locking up again in the event that the mount to her share on my iMac becomes unmounted again.

  • Embeded flv music in swf? 

    A client wants a music player that has embedded music, rather
    than streaming from a separate mp3 file. I explained the file would
    be much faster loading if we could stream it, but he said something
    about how that wouldn't work with his .net framework. He said that
    the last flash guy that he worked with was able to do this for him.
    I've already converted the audio into an flv. and I've gotten
    the song down to about 1.9 mb. which will have to do.
    Does anybody know how I would go about accomplishing this? I
    only know how to stream.

    jonnyfogel,
    >A client wants a music player that has embedded music,

    Heh, the customer is always right. ;)
    > I explained the file would be much faster loading if we

    > wouldn't work with his .net framework.
    That just doesn't make sense, honestly. As long as his web
    server knows
    what an MP3 is, and is allowed to serve it up when requested,
    an external
    audio file is definitely the better way to go.
    > I've already converted the audio into an flv. and I've
    gotten
    > the song down to about 1.9 mb. which will have to do.
    Not sure why the audio needs to be converted to an FLV
    first. As a
    rule, FLV is a video format (though strictly speaking, you
    could have a
    videoless video file). I would export the audio as an MP3
    file, or some
    other strictly audio format (e.g., WAV or AIFF), then import
    that into the
    Library. Right-click your audio Library asset and choose
    Properties to see
    what your various compression settings are.
    For example, even if the original file is greater than
    1.9MB, you can
    adjust the compression settings inside Flash to experiment
    until you hit the
    "sweet spot" balance between fidelity and file size. You can
    never get
    better fidelity than what the original file has, so if your
    Library asset is
    already compressed, you can only bump it down in quality.
    Food for thought.
    With your settings configured (you'll see a Test button in
    the Audio
    Properties dialog), insert a keyframe in the main timeline
    where the audio
    should start. Click inside that keyframe and use the Property
    inspector to
    select your audio asset from the Library. Using this
    approach, you have
    effectively two choices: Event sound or Stream sound. Event
    sounds load
    into memory fully before they start to play. This means the
    playhead can be
    paused (stop() action) and the audio will keep playing until
    you stop it.
    Stream means the only that *frame*'s worth of audio loads, so
    you could
    potentially need *tons* of additional frames in that timeline
    in order for
    the full audio to be heard. There are pros and cons to
    everything, and the
    pro to Stream means you can potentially start hearing the
    audio before the
    SWF fully loads. The con, as I mentioned, is that you have to
    add enough
    frames to hear the audio play out.

  • EMBEDDING FLV PLAYER ?

    I'm trying to place a flv player into my flash page which
    then is going to be exported as an swf and used as a page in a
    'flip - page' style magazine. I bought the flip page component but
    when the swf page with the flv player is used as a page, the player
    does not exist and the video automatically begins to play
    regardless of what page the magazine is turned to...
    I noticed that when I published the page it creates a
    seperate swf file for the player.
    Is there any way of making it into 1 swf file with the player
    in it?????????
    Cheers everyone

    The separate swf is the skin for the player, not the player
    itself. The player is embedded, and it loads its skin (how it
    looks) from that file. And, no, I have not yet seen a way to embed
    the skin into the swf.
    As for the video automatically playing, set the players
    autoPlay property to false and you will solve that.

  • Embedding FLV or MPEG video!!???

    I have the new Flash CC version. I noticed I don't have a 2014 behind it, nor do I have an option to get a 2014 version. That's all fine and dandy. Great.
    I'm having problems embedding flash. When I convert an MPG to a FLV, as the Adobe Encoder CC software suggests (CC 2014 says it won't do this any longer because the development team feels it must spend it's time more wisely on MPEG to waste time on this any more), and try to embed into Flash, I get a message that it didn't work and I need to actually use a product called AMD. Does anyone know if this sounds right? And if Encoder CC doesn't work and I do need the third-party product AMD, why is it that Adobe no longer provides a workable solution?

    ame is adobe media encoder which your already using.   among other things, amd is a graphic card maker.
    if you're seeing a prompt to update your amd drivers, do so.  otherwise, can you attach a screenshot showing that amd recommendation?

  • Adobe Air Bug: embedded .flv in .swf does not start - Connection Error

    Hi,
    I have embedded an .flv video into an .swf (using Captivate CS5)
    Then I use Dreamweaver and insert the swf into html.
    So far everything works ok, the video is displayed.
    Now I create an Air File in Dreamweaver.
    Result; The video is not displayed. Message: "Connection Error"
    I am not a programmer. Do I have to change the .xml file or is there any other fix for this?
    Thank you very much!
    Claus

    This would be somewhat usefull if we where calling the FLV from javascript.  However, both Clause and I are calling the flash object from the object tag. This is the default from Dreamweaver and also the prefered method for embeding a swf (my case) into a HTML Air app.  The codebase I am using to create my Air app is modified html5 from the client's current website.  (they would like this app to "look and work like the site")
    For me, all is good exept the video.  This app has to work offline or I'd just call the video from the website.
    Is there a working example somewhere out there we can look at?
    Life would be so much simpler if AIR supported the <video> tag in the webkit html engine.  I'll use h.264. I promise!
