Flash player skins in Dreamweaver: progress/buffer indication

Hi, I posted this in the DreamWeaver section but they said to check with the experts here in the Flash forum.
I have some flash .FLV videos that I've posted to a clients website using the built-in Flash skins (Halo is what I'm using). My client would like to be able to see a moving buffer of how much video has downloaded so the viewers will know when the video is about to clip. Standard stuff but not sure if the built-in flash player for DW has that option. Can anyone tell me if it does or not? What would be the best way to get a buffer indicator (not pre-loader) into a flash player if not?
I'm using CS4 everything for OSX 10.6.2
Thanks.

Do you know where I can find a list of parameters for the Flash skins used in Dreamweaver? Maybe it's just a matter of changing the color of the play bar to distinguish the progress.
I've attached a screen shot to show what I'm seeing.

Merge Flash Player Skin with Flash Video for Single Flash File

My company uses a content management system for it's website and I am the administrator. The CMS does not require or use html code. I am a new to Flash, but I am able to produce some simple files. I have compiled a simple 2 minute video clip that I need to upload to my companies website. The Flash file requires a player skin which I was able to produce. I understand that when you output to Flash, two files are created. As I understand it, one file is for the skin and the other is for the movie along with the html code that links the two. Unfortunately, our content management system does not recognize the link between these two sets of files and I am unable to import them. I can import the flash movie clip without the player, but that does not suit my needs. I can import the player skin without the movie, but there would be no point. Is there a way to output both files into a single Flash file with the player skin embedded into the Flash movie? I have the full Adobe Master Suite CS4, is it possible another program could be used for that purpose or is this an impossibility? Any information you could provide would be appreciated...thanks...

Flash Player question involving Dreamweaver

After successfully installing the Adobe Flash Player, version 10,3,181,26 on my 32-bit Windows Vista with Internet Explorer 9 (also a 32-bit version), I am still getting this message when I open up any HTML document in my trial version of Dreamweaver CS5.5; "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View, install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com" Why? Did I need to select (or deselect something in Internet Options before I installed the Flash Player? Or am I getting this message simply because I have the "trial" version of Dreamweaver CS5.5? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My apologies, I assumed from your first email mentioning you needed to install the "Firefox Plugin" that you already had Firefox installed on your system.
Depending on which browser you use when you visit the Flash Player download page, it will present you with the appropriate installer. If you want to install a different version, you can simply use that other browser when you go to the download page, or you can manually specify a different version to download.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
This page will let you select the OS and Player version. You should select "Flash Player 10.3 for Windows - Other Browsers" to install the Plugin version.
Sorry for the confusion.

Need Assistance with Flash Player Skin

I want to use the better looking skins under the Project
heading rather than the three skins that are the default skins in
the initial player selection. When I select one called glass, it
and the one of the mandatory skins both show up in the player
window when viewed from the htm file.
How can this be avoided?

Hi jkb242
While I am certainly no speaking for anyone else here, I'm a
bit confused by what you are referring to. Particularly where you
say:
it and the one of the mandatory skins both show up in the player
window when viewed from the htm file. .
I'm assuming here you are saying you clicked the Project menu
followed by Skin... and you have selected the "Glass" skin from the
Skin Editor dialog. But I'm totally lost by what you mean when you
say
When I select one called glass, it and the one of the mandatory
skins both show up in the player window when viewed from the htm
file..
By chance can you either post a link to the output file so we
can see first hand? Or at least a screen capture image of what it
is you are seeing?
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way to increase the video buffer for Flash Player 9?

Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the buffer
capacity for Flash Player 9? I'm living out in the boondocks for a
while and am jonesing for Comedy Central videos. I just subscribed
to a DSL provider in a rural setting but it's a little too far from
the hub and the data transfer rate is slow. The Flash Player
application appears to only buffer a minute of video. Currently I
click the pause button while a selected video is playing and then
wait for the data to buffer. Unfortunately, the data transfer is
stopped after a minutes worth of video is loaded. Any
suggestions?

There's no way to do it on the client side. That can only be
controlled by the developer of the content..

How to add new skins for Adobe Flash Player in DW CS4?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to insert a FLV file into my webpage using Insert | Media | FLV... from the top menu bar in dreamweaver cs4.
When the "Insert FLV" window opens up, I see a drop down list of different skins (clear skin, corona skin and halo skin) for the flash player, but none of these skins has the Full Screen button on it. How can i add a new skin to this drop down list that contains the full screen toggle?
Also, I'm using the Design view to build my website as I'm not very familiar with any kind of code.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

How can i add a new skin to this drop down list that contains the full screen toggle?
You can't. You need a height and width for your player to appear correctly on the html page.
Also, I'm using the Design view to build my website as I'm not very familiar with any kind of code.
That's a real shame. You're severely limited working only in Design View. Kind of like working with a pencil between your teeth and both hands tied behind your back. Web design is all about code. While you're learning, you should at least keep split screen open so you can see the code DW writes.

How to use Flash Skin in Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
I'd like to use a Flash Video Skin
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute) that came with Flash 8, in Dreamweave.
I copied the skin file (SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf) into
Dreamweaver's Configuration>Templates>Video_Control folder,
but although I see the skin in Dreamweave's popup skin menu, I
doesnt function correctly.
I assume I need to be doing somethign with the .fla file
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.fla), but I cant figure out where to put
that in Dreamweaver.
Any suggestions on how to get my video to work with this skin
would be appreciated.
thank you....

bump...
would really appreciate it if someone could help me out
here....
thank you.

Dreamweaver CS4 Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

I'm working with the CS4 Design Premium Suite. I've done all the updates. I've followed all the steps in the training.
I've used the adobe media encoder to create FLV file from a windows media clip.
Then on a simple new html page. saved to a brand new local folder I try to insert my conent:
I use menu command "Insert _ Media _ FLV" I browse to the file, I insert & save the page
I can see a place holder in design view but if I go to live view I see the message"Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player."
If I preview to a browser I get the same thing,
If I go to the local folder and access the page directly I get the same thing.
I alse created simple SWF file in Flash CS4. Saved in the root folder.
I use the menu command "Insert _ Media _ SWF" I see a place holder.
Save it, save all the files.
Same thing. Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
I read online where others are having this issue, someone one said "Why are you using "swfobject_modified?" "Try swfobject.modified"
tried with no visble change.
I thought that flash & dreamweaver are supposed to be fully intergrated?
Why are these seemingly simple operations causing me so much grief?
I'm days behind in my training & on my project due to this problem.   Any help anyone could offer would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Newest version Flash Player doesn't work online, but does work when using Dreamweaver files locally?

Newest version Flash Player v 11.2.202.235 doesn't work when trying to view Flash video online, but does work when using the same Dreamweaver files locally?
Win7/64, Firefox 12, 16 gb ram, core i3 @3.07GHz

Define "doesn't work" - what do you see instead of the expected Flash content?
Does that happen for any Flash object on the Internet, or only your Dreamweaver files?

Flash Audio Player inserted via Dreamweaver

I am looking for a flash solution to insert easily into a dreamweaver html page. I need a small audio player with a start and stop button. It should have a white background (no text). To work like the example in www.spolin.com/about.html
I would like to have a flash plug in that allows me to insert into another webpage and use an FLV file or other audio format.
Dreamweaver's player does not look good inserted into any webpage.

This information and tutorial assumes I have knowledge of programming and flash pro. I have no knowledge of programming.
Is there a tool or an existing simple player I can modify easily without knowing much about Flash Pro or programming?
I bought Flash Pro because a tech support person from Dreamweaver told me I needed it in order to convert my flv to something that would work in Dreamweaver. I am only an intermediate user of Dreamweaver and Flash Pro is overwhelming in its capacity. I have no idea how to use it.
The player included in Dreamweaver is terrible. It assumes the sound file must be played as a video and inserts a black default video screen with the player controls.
There is no way to simply insert a play, stop button player using Dreamweaver's insert flv player.

Flash Player & Flash progress bars problem

Hi.
I'm rather desesperate here. I have the latest version of Flash Player with the latest version of Mozilla Firefox (3.5.3). Wherever I try to upload a file on a website that uses a Flash component to show the progress, it simply goes up to 100% under a second for a 15MB file. This is my latest Speedtest.net :
http://www.speedtest.net/result/574890835.png
It's IMPOSSIBLE to upload anything over 2MB instantly with that kind of connection. Even if it's a really good one.
I've tried anything and everything; even a reformat (two weeks or so ago) and it did NOT solve the problem. So, I'm pretty sure that the problems lies in either one of those software/code :
- HTML 5
- Flash Player
I don't know if you guys can solve the problem but I just hope you can. It's really annoying because a majority of file-hosting websites use Flash-based uploaders. I've been in multiple forums in search for help but nobody seems to be able to solve my problem and in which seem to be unique. The problem also occurs and Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome on my end. So, my problem isn't browser specific. The problem also occurs on Windows 7 RC.
My (modest) machine :
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
2 GB of DDR2 667MHz Ram
nVidia GeForce 8500GT 512MB
~1.3TB of Hard drive (across 4 hard drives)
Windows Vista Home Premium FR (Genuine) & Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) [dual-boot]
Thank you for your help in advance.

Please help!
If you want more details, please, ask them to me!

Problem of buffer with adobe flash player

Hi,
I have a problem of buffer playing a song.
I'm playing a sound using streaming. (loadSound("my flow",
true))
The buffer size is the default one: 5s.
When I play using Macromedia Flash Professional 8, everything
is OK, the buffer size stays around 5s.
But
when I play using a browser, the buffer size reduces, and the
song is stopped to download 5s of buffer.
I'd like to know if there is something in the configuration
of Adobe Flash Player for IE and Firefox that is different from the
player of Macromedia Flash Professional 8.
Please could you explain me why it happens!!
Thank you for your help

So, you didn't need help with anything, you just wanted to rant?
