Flash video embed question

I'm using "insert flash video" in DW8. I noticed that it puts
the skin and progressive swf files in the same folder as the page.
I'd like to move these files to a different folder. I was hoping I
could just do the "drag and drop" and it would update all the files
to know what has been moved. But that didn't seem to work. Any idea
if you can have the other files in a different folder? Does any one
know what code would need to be changed so it knows the new path?
Thanks for any help you can provide me.

Here is what the page looks like...
http://www.margostern.com/extras_sucker.html
You will notice the flash .swf movie plays but it doesn't
include the skin
anywhere in the movie to control it... Why is this? Maybe
someone could
look at the HTML code and figure out what I'm doing wrong for
me?

  • Flash Video Newbie Question

    Hello
    I 've recently put a flash video on my site and used this code:
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,16,0"

    value="high" /><param name="play" value="false" />
                <param name="LOOP" value="false" />
                <embed src="satdirect.swf" play="false"

    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="240"
    width="360"></object>
    The video works but there's no play button (works only with right click and play). Does adobe flash have play/control buttons?
    Please advice me..

    are your trying to display a swf only or a video (flv)?
    if an flv, you can get flash to display controls by using an flvplayback component.  if a swf, you'll need to add your own buttons to play and stop your swf.
    in either case, that's not complete embedding code.  use the html file published by flash.

  • Flash Video Encoder Question(s)

    Hello,
    This is the first time we've used Flash Video Encoder. We
    have a video that is about 12 minutes long that is in QuickTime
    format. We have added it to the FVE queue and have two questions.
    1. I think we may have messed up the settings. The first time
    we tried to do this conversion we tooled around in there, but then
    when we tried to go back in later we receive a message that says
    "Flash Video Encoder cannot find the selected file. The file may
    have been moved or deleted" when we click the Settings button.
    2. It takes FOREVER to convert this video. Before we stopped
    it, it had run for 25 minutes and the estimated time left was over
    10 hours.
    Is this normal? What on earth are we doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help.
    GN

    That is odd since I also have quicktime pro and it IS an
    option:
    http://www.johnkalnin.com/images/quicktime.jpg
    Maybe that is something that got installed when I installed
    Sorenson Squeeze. I am very sorry if that is the case. Try
    downloading and installing the sorenson squeeze trial and see if
    that helps.

  • Flash video sizing question

    I am looking into converting our advertisements from windows
    media / quicktime into flash. I've been looking around and it seems
    like 400 x 300 would probably be the best bet, but I'm not sure if
    this will be too large for those without a broadband connection.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for different video sizes and
    using pre-loading features? I am not very experienced with flash
    and am just looking for some basic information.
    Thanks,
    -Jeff

  • Flash video / autohide question

    Hi,
    I'm building a website in Flash 8 which plays a number of
    videos. I have the choice of playing the videos using FLVPlayback
    components built into each video's .swf, or just creating a custom
    controller skin (the client wants a skin which resembles a
    QuickTime controller).
    My problem is this: the client wants the video controller to
    "autohide", which is easy to do with skins by turning on the
    "autohide" feature. However, we want the controller to stay in
    place while the FLV buffers so users can see that it is loading.
    Surely there is a short bit of ActionScript that will keep the
    controller visible while buffering, only to revert back to
    conventional "autohide on" once it's playing?
    Cheers

    Here is a sort of solution. Click on the component and open
    the component inspector, make skinAutoHide = false. This way the
    skin shows no matter what. Now give the flvplayback component
    instance name like vid. The put this code on the frame;
    var vidList:Object = new Object();
    vidList.playing = function(){
    vid.skinAutoHide = true;
    vid.addEventListener ("playing",vidList);
    stop;
    What this does is listen for the movie to play. Once the
    movie is playing the skin changes to autohide being true. It is not
    exactly what you want, but it is better then nothing.
    I know the above code works.
    Now here is another method doing what you want but I am not
    sure if it works:
    var vidList:Object = new Object();
    vidList.buffering= function(){
    vid.skinAutoHide = false;
    vid.addEventListener ("buffering",vidList);
    stop;
    The problem here is that when buffering is done I am not sure
    how to change the skin hiding to true. That will disable hiding
    during buffering though.

  • Firefox for windows won't display absolute positioned divs over flash video

    I have a website that has a brightcove video player. About a month or so ago, I was able to float divs over the video player so that they would display on top of the video player, using absolute positioning.
    You can see the player here:
    lifeminute.tv/evv/8+9+10+11+12+34/widget300s
    In Firefox (mac), Chrome (windows), Internet explorer (windows) and Safari (mac) it all still displays properly. In Firefox (windows) the video player ignores the Z-index I assign it, and always places the divs underneath it, UNLESS I give the floating div a solid background color.
    When I assign the following styles to the div containing the overlay, I can see the text properly, but of course the video is obscured.
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    height: 158px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 4px;
    width: 275px;
    If I remove the background-color element the whole overlay pops to the back of the stack behind the video again.
    Is this a FF windows bug or am I just missing something obvious?

    At times you have to add wmode="transparent" attribute to the flash video embed code.

  • Basic question about Flash video. Please Help

    Hello,
    Sorry for the noob question but I'm struggling with the basic
    understanding about the Flash video.
    I just need to reduce a large video file to a small size with
    a nice quality and the Flash Video Encoder does very god job with
    that. But when I double click the compressed .flv file it opens as
    a blank screen in the stand alone player without playing any video.
    I can use Dreamweaver to produce a web page playing the file, but I
    don't need this file for posting it on a web page, I just want the
    file smaller and to simply play it on my computer or send it to
    others.
    What is the way to do this?
    I appreciate your help.

    It sounds like you're not having problems with the actual
    compression of the videos, just the playback, correct? All you need
    is a standalone player that plays FLVs. Like Quicktime Player plays
    MOVs, and Windows Media Player plays WMVs, you need something to
    play the FLV files. There are many free options available. On a
    mac, I use something called, strangely enough, SWF & FLV
    Player. You can find it here:
    http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html
    Just do a search for FLV players and you should find
    something appropriate. The only downside is you'll need to make
    sure anyone you're distributing the videos to also has an FLV
    player. If you're sending your files to just a few people, no big
    deal. If this is for the public in general, you would want to embed
    a Flash video player in an HTML page and send it like that.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to embed a flash video into a logo?

    Your code is kind of messy.  Use the validation tools below and fix reported errors.
    HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org 
    CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/  
    HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
    Where did you get the CSS style sheet you're using?  It looks like an experiment, and not a real world CSS.  You might be better off using one of the the pre-built CSS layouts that ships with DW CS4.
    Anyway, to answer you question.  In your HTML, move your  flash code between this:
    <div id="Header">
    and this
    </div>
    In your CSS, change all this:
    /*#Header {
        margin:50px 0px 10px 0px;
        padding:17px 0px 0px 20px;
        height:33px;
        border-style:solid;
        border-color:black;
        border-width:1px 0px;
        line-height:11px;
        background-color:#eee;
        voice-family: "\"}\"";
        voice-family:inherit;
        height:14px;
    body>#Header {height:14px;}
    to this:
    #Header {
        width: 100%;
        background-color:#eee;

  • Very basic question: Flash Media Server vs. embedding flash video

    I'm hoping this is a quick easy question to answer:
    What is the difference between Flash Media Server and simply
    using a freeware Flash media player (like Flowplayer
    http://flowplayer.org/) that
    uses XML playlists to embed your Flash videos on a website?
    What are the advantages to Flash Media Server and how does
    something like Flowplayer not address issues that FMS can?
    Thanks in advance!
    Erik

    In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
    browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
    download on any web server
    Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
    it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
    things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
    the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
    copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
    repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
    if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
    ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
    download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
    will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
    though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
    request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
    gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
    Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
    an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
    essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
    get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
    satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
    info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
    drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
    movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
    Hope that helps.

    Gary, thank you for responding:
    1) I know my "profile" indicates I'm on Mountain Lion.  I have not figured out how to update that.  I am using Yosemite and Keynote Version 6.5.2 on a 15" Macbook-Pro  (tell me how to update my profile, please - nothing I click on opens any kind of "edit" options)
    2) My 20 sec video does play in Quicktime.  I find nothing in the Quicktime Inspector about deselecting "start movie on click."
    3) in my slide presentation I can insert the video on a slide okay and if I click on it can get it to play, But I cannot seem to get it to play after a transition automatically.  Maybe it cannot be done.  Obviously I would like the entire presentation to play automatically without clicking on or between slides.
    Again, thank you for you kind help!

  • Embed flash video on website...

    About a month ago, I asked for a code to embed a flash video
    on my website, but now I am stuck. I was told to convert the videos
    to .FLV, which is fine. I can do that, BUT in the coding, I am
    confused because the 'file name' in the code ends with .swf. I am
    SO lost because if the video is converted to .flv how would it work
    if the name in the code ended with .swf? I am VERY new at flash,
    and beyond converting the videos to .flv, I'm lost.
    Also, if I can figure this out, would I need to add any other
    details to make sure the code works in both IE and firefox?

  • How to embed Flash video and control skin using HTML?

    I am trying to use HTML to embed a flash video, however I encounter the following errors:
    Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="
    Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinOverPlaySeekStop.swf"]

    Whenever I open the page I'll get a popup window with the above errors and once I click "continue" it will go ahead and play the video, but without the control skin.  Can anyone tell me how to get the skin to show up?

    I found a solution at this thread.  Basically, you just have to move your skin file (ie. SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf) to the same directory as your index.html file.
    doghouseJim, thanks for the link.  Although I didn't have to use swfobject in this case it is still good to know.  Also, I didn't know that Flash can generate the HTML.  This is a quick and easy way to see the video in a web browser and if you're using Firefox you can go to View > Page Source to see the code.  If you just want to see the HTML, then all you have to do is go to File > Publish Preview > HTML and it will open a web browser where you can view the page source.

    Reece,

    If you chose FVSS, that means you're using a Flash Video
    Streaming
    Service and not just uploading video to your own server.
    > So my skin.flv file currently has to be in the same

    You can put the skin wherever you like. All that matters is
    that you
    correctly path to it from the point of view of the HTML page
    that holds your
    SWF (the SWF that holds the FLVPlayback instance that uses
    this skin).
    > I need it to allow my skin.flv file to be in the same
    folder
    > as my vido.swf and video.flv files.
    You're uploading your video files to a Flash Video Streaming
    Service,
    which I haven't done personally, so I don't know what
    requirements this
    service places on you. Regardless, the location of the skin
    SWF file makes
    no difference. In the FLA that contains your FLVPlayback
    instance, select
    that instance and look at the Parameters tab of the Propery
    inspector. In
    the skin parameter, double click the cell to the right of
    that and enter the
    path to the skin SWF. It can be absolute (full domain name
    and filepath) or
    relative. If it's relative, pretend it's the HTML file
    looking for that
    skin, instead of this SWF file.
