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?

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"
height="240" width="360"><param name="movie"
value="satdirect.swf" /> <param name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="play" value="false" />
<param name="LOOP" value="false" />
<embed src="satdirect.swf" play="false"
loop="false" quality="high"
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.
GNThat 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. -
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,
-Jeffare 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 / 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?
CheersHere 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?
Hello,
I'm new to flash and dreamweaver and I'm slowly trying to learn it. I have created a a flash logo for my website (http://www.emorgenstern.com) and I'm trying to extend the background color to cover the rest of top.
In dreamweaver I have put the embedded flash video in a div class and modified the class to extend the entire length with the proper background color. In dreamweaver everything looks right but when I upload the actual .html and .css file it does not appear right. The actual testing link is http://emorgenstern.com/emorgen/emorgen/index.html
Below is the code for those sections.
Here is the .html file
<div class= "banner">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="468" height="60" title="banner">

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
-EricYour 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!
ErikIn 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. -
Can anyone tell me how to embed a flash video stream in html5
Can anyone tell me how to embed a flash video stream in html5. I have a video stream but would love to be bale to get it to run on ipads so would like to know how to embed the flash video stream in html5 http://www.ravedance.net
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"]
Here is my HTML code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
width="640" height="480" >
<param name="movie" value="Content/example.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<embed src="Content/example.swf" width="640" height="480" play="false" loop="false" quality="high"></embed>
</OBJECT>
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. -

How to use embed code to insert my flash video from web host whilst keeping my player buttons?
I have created a flash 8 video. It consists of the video.swf

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
folder

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.
