Flash Player 9 Won't Pause Flash Video Files

We have recently upgraded all our computers to Flash Player
version 9 and have noticed that, while it will allow us to pause an
flv video (such as the podcasts on Photoshopusertv.com), it won't
continue through the rest of the program after hitting the play
button but instead insists on starting the show from the beginning
each time. Very frustrating. Does anyone know of a workaround for
this or a solution? Will we have to wait for the next version?

Flash 8 caused me 2 months of work after it
installed itself on my old computer. I couldn't fix it and bought a
new computer with XP, hoping to get around the problems I had with
ActiveX and Flash crashing IE. The new one worked for a month or
two, and then something went wrong and I started having Flash
objects crash IE. I uninstalled Flash and said the heck with it. I
guess I am one of the few idiots here that can't get Flash to work
properly. I spent days on uninstalling, reinstalling, buying
antivirus software, altering the registry on Adobe advice, all ot
no avail on my old computer. I will resist until necessary making
Flash work on my new machine. I'll have to pay someone to install
it. I won't go through that again. The Flash - Windows - IE
compatibility problem sucks bad. Nobody can reproduce the problems
I have. On two machines in a row. What are the odds? I check back
here every few months to see if something has improved. In 8 months
I see no improvement.

  • Importing existing flash video files??

    howdy
    quick question. if you import existing flash video files into an encore project, will this help reduce the final render time? or will encore rerender the existing flash video files?
    cheers
    angus

    Encore CS3 won't import FLV files. You must render the project to Flash.
    You may want to file a feature request at Adobe's support page asking for support for Flash-ready assets, to eliminate the need to transcode in Encore.

  • Flash video file not loading

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem getting some flash video files to load.
    So far it's affecting 2 files located on these pages:
    Martin
    O'Brien movie and
    John
    Gormley movie
    The .flv files are being hosted on amazon s3. I have done
    several things so far to try to figure out why they aren't loading:
    * Having the .swf file in the same folder as the web page
    (doesn't work)
    * Inserting a different .flv file from a different folder in
    amazon s3 (doesn't work)
    * Changing file permissions (doesn't work)
    * Linking to the .flv file in same manner from a different
    site on same ISP (video does work)
    * Embedding .swf file in a html file instead of a php file
    (doesn't work)
    I can only guess that it's something specific to the
    www.bmfconferences.com site. As I said i've tried the same .flv
    file on a different site with the same ISP (it says Bruce Robinson
    but it's the John Gormley video file (
    John
    Gormley movie on different site) and this works, but I don't
    know what else to look for to get the files to work on the bmf
    site.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Louise.

    Hi All
    I found the solution!... I had to add the MIME type .flv =
    video/x-flv to my web server (Windows 2003).
    Thank anyway

  • Converting a flash video file to work with in FCE

    Does anyone know how to grab a flash video file off the web and convert it to a format that can be edited in FCE 2.0.3? Thanks

    Generally Flash video is streamed off a server and is not downloadable as some QuickTime files are.

  • Premiere pro cs6 won't load AVCHD video files

    why won't premiere pro cs6 load video files?
    Premiere pro application loads but won't load HD video files.

    What codec packs do you have loaded?  With a straight installation I have had any problems loading my Sony AVCHD 1920 x 1080 files in any version of Premiere.  What is your source of your media?

  • Need advice on making a simple Flash video file. Trying to accomplish two things.

    I have some video files (.avi) that I am trying to convert to a Flash video format. I am trying to export it to a Flash player to go into a Powerpoint file. With this, I am trying to accomplish two goals:
    1. To have the short clip (15sec, 30fps) endlessly loop, like an animated .gif.
    2. To allow the user to click on the video player and drag left/right to ff/rew.
    The video itself is a turntable animation. One of our products is making a complete 360degree turn. By allowing the user to grab and drag, it will simulate them rotating the model.
    So far, I have already accomplished Goal 1. I made a new Actionscript 3 file, imported video (embed flv in swf and play in timeline), and then made the video loop on the timeline. This seems to export properly, and the video loops as needed. The only thing I can't figure out is how to make the video "interactive" and let the user drag left/right.
    For context, I have never used Flash before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This will come down to essentially moving the playhead of Flash based on the movement of the mouse. It's certainly not going to be smooth however, you'd need a timer to be responsible for moving your playhead and reversing spatial compression is very CPU intensive (moving backwards on the timeline). I'd recommend having a forward and backward version of the video so you could flip between them but if you're new to flash you're already in way above your head.
    Add a new layer and try adding this example script (or Download Source example here, saved to CS5):
    import flash.utils.Timer;
    import flash.events.TimerEvent;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    // make sure we don't trip this frame twice
    if (!stage.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN))
              // stop playhead
              stop();
              // set state (forwards? backwards?)
              var movingForward:Boolean = true;
              var curFrame:int = 1;
              var mouseStartX:int; // used later to determine drag
              // detect mouse click and drag left or right
              stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseF);
              stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseF);
              // create new timer to control playhead, start it
              var phTimer:Timer = new Timer(33,0);
              phTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, movePlayheadF);
              phTimer.start();
              // function to control playhead
              function movePlayheadF(e:TimerEvent):void
                        curFrame += movingForward ? 1 : -1;
                        // validate frame (60 total frames)
                        if (curFrame > this.totalFrames) curFrame = 2;
                        else if (curFrame < 1) curFrame = this.totalFrames;
                        // goto the next frame
                        this.gotoAndStop(curFrame);
              // function that controls the direction variable
              function onMouseF(e:MouseEvent):void
                        if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)
                                  // user started touching, record start spot
                                  mouseStartX = int(stage.mouseX);
                        else if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP)
                                  // user let mouse go, determine direction change (swipe stype)
                                  if (stage.mouseX > mouseStartX)
                                            // swiped right, move forwards
                                            movingForward = true;
                                            trace('Moving forward now');
                                  else if (stage.mouseX < mouseStartX)
                                            // swiped left, move backwards
                                            movingForward = false;
                                            trace('Moving backwards now');
    This is pretty simple. In the example source link above an object on the timeline (nice ugly red circle) moves right over 60 frames and then left over 60 frames (120 total). Consider that your movie.
    A timer ticks at a speed of 33ms (30fps). This is where it isn't necessarily going to be too smooth with video. If you increase it to 60FPS then decrease the timer by half (16.5ms), season to taste. Each time the timer goes off the playhead is moved, either forwards or backwards.
    To know if it should go forward or backwards a simple variable (movingForward) keeps track of the last 'swipe'. The swipe is simply captured when a user touches the screen (mouse/finger), moves in a direction and then lets up. If they moved to the left the direction will be reverse. If they moved to the right it will move forward. This doesn't take into consideration any more than that logic, but illustrates how you can watch the mouse for movement and "do something" based on it.
    A very simple validatior in the timer event function checks to see if the next frame (in either direction) is valid and if it's not, it corrects it so it stays within your videos timeline length.
    Note there is a MOUSE_MOVE event you can try to hook to which can be used to literally let the user drag the video forwards and backwards the amount they drag their finger/cursor. Also if this is some kind of circular surface like a record spinning, the direction the user moves the mouse based on where they touch the record would change which direction they expect it to move. Etc etc..
    That should get your feet wet in how much you need to consider for your project.

  • Flash Video File STUMP!

    Okay, I'm totally stumped by this issue:
    I just created a simple Flash file that is programmed to play a little animation and then play a video when the user clicks (video uses FLVPlayBack and and RTMP connection). Everything works fine when I export it from the Flash IDE, and in fact the video streams from a remote CDN server right to my desk top.
    So, then I go to test the SWF on our remote web site server with a simple embed into HTML using SWFObject.  I use a standard block of code to do this that I'm currently using for a different video player I also made that works just fine--I just swap the SWF file name and adjust a few details.
    Yet, when I go to test the file, the SWF does nothing!  The simple animation does not play, and the video does not load.  What could be causing this?  My first thought was that it was something in the SWFObject method, and I've played around with it trying all kind of things I think should work.  I'm not sure what it is.
    Here is the simple code in the flash file:
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    var videoPath:String = "rtmp://fstream.imediasee.com/basic/user/preview_video";
    init();
    // init
    function init() {
         player.autoPlay = true;
         bPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beginPlay);
         anim.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beginPlay);
    // begin play
    function beginPlay(e:Event) {
         player.source = videoPath;
         bPlay.visible = false;
         anim.visible  = false;
    Again, this works fine when run on my desktop.  "player" is an FLVPlayBack component, and "anim" an "bPlay" are MCs on the stage.
    Here is the HTML file:

    Any insights?

    I have not had trouble with uploading flash video (.html and .swf) files to my remote server until about 3 weeks ago. I have a .mov made up of stills, graphics, and short video clips with a sound track cued to the video. It plays perfectly on my computers (iMac and G5 with CS4). It will not play on the website. What is playing there now is a video with sound that I made in SlideShowPro for Flash that sort of works, but is not syncing well, which is why I had the .mov made by my sound engineer friend.
    Others seem to be having this same problem. What's up? Anyone?

  • I want my flash video file NOT to load until I hit play...how can I do that?

    I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying.  Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play?  This is the AS3 script I used...
    import fl.video.VideoEvent;
    myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
    function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void {
    myPoster.visible = true;
    function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void {
    myPoster.visible = false;
    function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    myVideo.play();
    myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hidePosterFrame);
    myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, showPosterFrame);
    I am using Dreamweaver to put the pages together via the Insert - Media - Flash...then putting the .swf file in the page.
    Thanks,
    Arguilo

    you can start the video and then stop it.  it will continue to download (which you can monitor).  when the time is right, you can enable the video's play button.  before the video's ready to start, you can entertain your users.

  • Creating a Flash Video File

    Hello,
    I'm in desperate need of some guidance on how to actually
    convert an avi file over to a Flash Video (FLV) that I can
    eventually insert into a Captivate movie. I do have Flash but have
    no clue where to start (new to Flash personally). Can anyone
    possibly provide some step by step instructions on how to do this?
    I do have the AVI file on my hard drive and would really appreciate
    some step by step instructions.
    Since I'm new to Flash and haven't yet received any training,
    I'm really in the dark.
    Thanks for any assistance!
    Helen

    I'm also new to flash and have never done it before, but I
    think all you need to do is use the Flash 8 Video Encoder that
    comes with flash. That should convert the avi and a few other kinds
    of video files into FLV's.

  • ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

    Hi Everyone
    I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
    I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
    The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
    I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
    Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
    Many Thanks
    Dave

    This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
    Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
    How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
    Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
    Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.

  • E72 won't play long video file

    Although I have 138MB free in phone memory and 6+GB on my 16GB MicroSD card the phone locks up solid after playing 2 minutes of a 22 minute movie filmed through its own lens  the same day, and which plays without even a flicker on my PC in Windows Media Player.
    A 45 second movie also chops up sometimes, though not on every playing. Again no problem on the PC - at all.
    Ideas, anybody ?
    PS. My E72 records pretty good video and sound to match, in a small studio with a soul band minus the horns and without any unreasonable distortion or undue audio fluctuation.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then try a video.

  • DVD Studio Pro 1.5 Won't Recognize Any Video Files

    Hello, everyone! I guess this might be a little prehistoric, but I really need help. I have the dinosaur, DVD Studio Pro 1.5, and for some reason it won't recognize any .m2v's, .mpeg's, or anything else. As I understand it, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 will only take MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files, but whenever I use them, it says, "Error: Unknown File Type," in the Log.
    Can someone help me? Perhaps there is a way to make it accept more than just MPEG-1 & 2?
    Thanks so much!

    Well, I used the requirements for Widescreen NTSC in BitVice. The requirements are given in the DVD Studio Pro 1.5 manual. However, when I went to drag the file into DVD Studio Pro 1.5, the log came up and said: ERROR: 480 is not the proper height for a PAL file.
    So, I knew that it must only want PAL files.
    Another problem:
    To apply videos for a Motion Menu, I am supposed to click on the menu in the Graphical View, and go to "Asset" under "Picture," and select the video I want. The problem is, it won't show ANY .m2v's in the Asset drop box. It will show my Photoshop files, though. And, I'm sorry to say that those files you offered me didn't work either. (They didn't show up under the Asset drop box.)
    [Thanks so much, by the way! They had NO trouble importing to DVD Studio Pro!]
    Here's a picture of my computer and the missing files in the "Assets" drop box.

  • After Effects CC won't import short video files

    I have a project with hundreds of h.264 videos, some of which are only 1 or 2 frames in length. When I try to import these short files, AE freezes and I have to force quit the application.
    I have a project file created with an older version of After Effects with these files already imported, and AE CC can't open these files, and hangs whenever I access any comps with the files in them. This was not a problem with the previous version of AE, and I've temporarilly gotten around the issue by running a trial of AE CS 5.5, but I don't have a serial for it and the trial is going to expire soon. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is there a way to correct this problem?
    I'm using macbook pro, with OS 10.9.2, and all Adobe CC software is up to date.

    The same issue appears to happen when I try importing a small sampling of these files into Media Encoder. After dragging the files over, the program just beachballs, doesn't appear to be importing the files, and the program is not responding.
