Flash video in on flowing move

Hello,
I work with Linux FC14 and installed:
firefox.i686 3.6.15-1.fc14
flash-plugin.i386 10.2.152.27-release @adobe-linux-i386
When I with a right mouse click try to open the Configurations Adobe Flash Player, then I see that it is disabled.
So I cannot open the Configurations Adobe Flash Player window.
Because in Screen Tab it should be able to turn on the Hardware Acceleration.
Please my question: how can I get the Flash video in on flowing move?
Many thanks in advance,
Gaston Verhulst

Hi, Sorry you are having problems. I use Windows and help with Flash Player on that mostly. Mac, a little. Linux, I don't know at all. Sometimes other users that use Linux would help and that's better.
However, I can give you some direction to perhaps help you.

Flash Video Encoder - Sizing Video

Hello
I have an uncompressed video at 720x486. I need to encode it
to Flash video at 640x480. When I import it into Flash Video
Encoder, I use the custom settings to output a 640x480 movie at
30fps and 550kbps using the VP6 codec.
Flash video outputs a 720x486 movie.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

I've never had a problem with videos not being resized... and
many times
I've made video thumbnails. How are you determining the
output is incorrect
anyway? I'd guess it is your method that is wrong - if the
encoder did not
resize properly this question would come up daily...and it
doesn't.

Flash video performance poor in Firefox 3 and other newer Gecko-based browsers; fails to detect mouse movement in full-s

Regardless of configuration, I have found Flash video
performance on Firefox 3 to be severely sub-par. Numerous visual
lags occur throughout a typical Youtube video as it cannot seem to
manage to maintain a steady frame rate. When in full-screen, mouse
movement is not detected, forcing me to click in a full-screen
Vimeo video in order to display its controls when I should have
only needed to move the mouse. I was informed that the technical
explanation for this is that Flash isn't triggering MouseEvents
other than MouseEVENT.CLICK.
In my tests, this behavior also occurred in Flashplayers 9
and 10 as well as with recent versions of other browsers that also
use the Gecko rendering engine, namely Camino, Flock and Songbird,
but not in Firefox 2. I was told by a Mozilla employee that this
issue can only be solved by Adobe.
This has forced me to use the Safari browser as my only
available work-around. I implore that these issues get resolved as
quickly as possible.

guys, im exactly experience the same issue here.. any
solution guys? tks in advantage..

Streaming flash video will not play automatically. Must move the mouse off the link

I have 4 computers, all running Win7. On every one, Internet explorer. 2 have firefox 3. 2 have firefox 4. When clicking a link on a website that has live streaming video (flash) - the stream changes to the next one and the video feed begins right away. Works fine on all 4 computers in IE, and in both Firefox 3. The video starts when the mouse is clicked, or when the screen is refreshed. On both computers with firefox4 - the mouse click loads the new feed, but the video hangs on a white screen until the mouse pointer moves. same problem when the feeds are set to auto-rotate. they load every 30 seconds, but unless I physically move the mouse, no video plays (or click the 'next feed' button again, which gives a split-second peek at the video feed I am navigating away from), I need to monitor many security cameras, and this is excruciating. Safe mode does not help. I have the newest versions of everything. please tell me this is a bug and not someone's bright idea

IMovie '08: Movie to Flash Video (FLV)?

Hello,
Long story short, I sent some the below directions to a co-worker on how he could export an FLV from iMovie '08... but he told me that he did not have the "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)" option. Do the below directions not apply to all copies of iMovie '08?
1. Go to menu: "Share" and choose "Export Using Quicktime"
2. From the "Export:" drop-down, choose "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)"
3. Click the "Options" button, and use these settings:
-- "Profiles" tab: Choose "Flash 8 - Medium Quality (400kbps)"
-- "Video" tab: Leave as default settings, but change "Max data rate"
to "464", and "Key frame intraval" to "6".
-- "Audio" tab: If your video has audio, choose "Encode audio" and set
the "Data rate:" to "48 kbps (mono)"
-- "Cue Points" tab: Leave at default settings.
-- "Crop and Resize" tab: Choose "Resize video". All videos should be
set at 480px width... So, if your video is 720x480, you would scale it
to 480x320 (4:3 ratio). 1920x1080 would scale down to 480x270 (HD 16:9 ratio.)
- Hide quoted text -
4. Click "Ok"
5. Choose a Save location under the "Where" drop-down.
6. Click "Save".
Your thoughts?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Micky

Exporting QuickTime to Flash Video (.flv) requires a complete install of Adobe Flash software ($$$).
QuickTime 7.4 has ended support for Flash Video inside QuickTime containers and you may run into other issues with the Adobe component because of this.
The free Perian component did allow import of .flv into QuickTime Pro and export to QuickTime formats. That too has ended in version 7.4.
Cheap way would be to upload to YouTube and let them convert and create your .flv file. Then just "borrow" the Flash Video file by opening the direct link and saving using a browser.

Share A Movie As High Definition Flash Video

Hello:
I am using Premiere Elements 4.0 and I would like to create a 720p Flash Video from a 720p input file.
Using the presets, I can create a 720p MPG no problem, but there doesn't seem to be a Flash Video setting higher than 640X480. Is there a way to create a FLV format for HD so that it will show up as HD on You Tube?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

The best solution we've found is to output the video as a high-def MP4 and let YouTube re-encode it as a FLV file, per the FAQs to the right of this forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/623549?tstart=0
You're not going to get any higher quality going from FLV to FLV, since the program will still convert it to its workflow format anyway (AVI or HDV-MPEG) while it's working with it. Besides, the biggest quality issues will appear when YouTube starts screwing with it, which there's no way around.
Give it an H.264 file, and you'll get the best possible results.

FLASH VIDEO LOSES QUALITY WHEN "WMODE" SET TO TRANSPARENT

I have a flash video beside a roll out menu. When I set the
"wmode" to transparent the video loses quality. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

actually, i can see in that code that you do still have wmode
transparent stuff in there. if you look just a little before
the ending
script tag, you'll see some. and then it's also in one of the
parameter
tags. in fact, you have the wmode=transparent parameter tag,
but not the
one that the instruction i gave you said to put in! actually,
it doesn't
look like you followed the instructions i gave you at all! at
least not
completely.
i think your best bet might be to just delete the video from
the page
(your code is too messed up for me to figure it out, sorry)
and
re-insert it, then follow the instructions on the link i gave

you need to do EVERYTHING it says to do, all the way until it

Quicktime conversion to Flash video

When I drag my Quicktime movies into Adobe Flash CS3 video encoder, I then click to resize the video and enter the specs. Then I uncheck 'Maintain Aspect Ratio'. Then I press start queue. I have been doing this for years but my memory seems to be having a little slippage. Does this process only send to my desktop the .flv file or should it also send the .swf file? The reason I'm asking it I'm only getting the .flv file and when I upload this to my server with the intention of putting the Flash video onto a website it asks for the source file which I'm assuming is the .swf file which Flash Encoder is not generating.
If I have forgotten and I'm only meant to have the .flv file, how do we then get that to appear and play as a Flash video? I have recently changed technical help and this was always done by former staff member. We need help. Thank you for your time.
Sheryl

would changing it to a Quicktime movie be more universal for people to view without having to download a plug-in?
Not sure about the "universality" of QT but believe it is generally found as a "freebie" on most PCs and, of course, on all Macs sold today. Don't use Windows Media since a good player with codec runs about $50 for my Mac but admit to keeping the "Flash" plug-ins installed for all of my browsers. Would have to abide by what David said as my one and only venture into flash conversions produced "less than adequate" quality as far as I was concerned.
As filmtex indicated above, Handbrake would be a suitable solution if you plan to convert the entire DVD (or chapters thereof) without edits directly to either MPEG-4 or H.264 files. Of the two, the MPEG-4 output would likely be more universal for QT since it would not require QT 7 be installed. On the other hand, the H.264 would provide files roughly one third the size of an MPEG-4 file at the same level of quality.
However, if you are planning to edit the material to any degree (i.e., extract highlights, break it into smaller files, enhance audio/video content, etc.), then you might prefer an alternate work flow. For instance, MPEG StreamClip (free) would allow you to load unencrypted or decrypted individual VOBs (or the the entire title) into the application and peform minor edits before ouputting material to any available QT format. Or, if you plan to make major edits in iMovie, FCX, FCP, or other such editor, you can convert the VOBs directly to the appropriate DV format for your particular editor.

Problem with tutorial:Creating a dynamic playlist for streaming flash video

hi, anyone tried the tutorial: creating a dynamic playlist
for streaming flash video?
i follow the instruction exactly as stated in the tutorial
and test the fla file, it worked perfectly well when i open the swf
using the macromedia flash 8. Everything look fine. Nothing is
changed except the url is changed to "rtmp://localhost/videosource"
in the xml file.
after i publish the file using the setting: access network
only, i try to open the swf and html file from the folder, the
thumbnail did not appear and there is no way i can click on any
videos. What i see is only the list, and there is no response from
the flash media server 2. All the files is in the same folder.
Anyone please help with this problem???? thanks

....i debug the movie step by step
and realised that the xml file is being read by the code...
Your original problem stated it worked but not when playing
outside the
Flash authoring environment by simply loading the swf from
the hard drive.
The Flash authoring environment is a trusted environment and
so you really
need to test in the actual deployment mode which loading an
swf from the
hard drive is not a valid deployment unless an installed
Flash player is
available outside the web browser which you would have as you
have the
authoring tool and your users will not.
Use a browser with
http://yourdomain.com/yourmovie.html
to do final
debugging.
In this regard you may need to debug the movie while running
in real time
mode in a web browser with
http:// A technique to trace I suggested is to
create a temporary TextField perhaps named out_txt and send
trace message to
it such as out_txt.text += "My Trace Expression".

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''

Then '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Problem with Flash video/dropdowns in Mozilla

Am trying to add a flash video to a webpage using a
Dreamweaver extension called Active Slideshow Pro by DMXZone.
The page can be viewed: www.faith.org.uk/Testindex.html
In IE7 it works fine. The video shows and the dropdowns of
the menu work correctly.
In Mozilla Firefox the video works but the dropdowns do not
show.
If I remove the block of coding which is generated by the
DMXZone extension:

A discussion with Adobe support lends the idea that MPEG
layer 4 might be an issue. That since these videos come from DVD
perhaps encoded with MPEG layer 4 that that could be the reason tha
all of them have this problem. (Some were done using AVI - I have
to check and see if that makes a difference)
BUT
According to the PDF from Adobe Design - Flash Video Encoder
Wizard - By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
Flash should be able to convert an MPEG4 file. (Well it does
but they all stop after 30 sec.) Now how do I solve this problem?
All the videos still stop after 30 sec.s
quote snip snip>>
Flash Video Encoder Wizard
By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
The first thing you have to understand about the use of video
in Flash® is the original
video must be converted to a format Flash can read. This
format is FLV (Flash Video)
and you can either use Flash, the Flash Video Encoder, or
third-party software to
create the FLV file. If you use video-editing software such
as Adobe® After Effects®,
you can also export the file as a FLV file. If you are a
Dreamweaver® user, the current
version of Dreamweaver—Dreamweaver 8—contains a
feature that allows you to add
an FLV at the click of a button.
The purpose of the Encoder, therefore, is to convert the
video file to the FLV format.
When you installed Flash Professional 8, the Flash Video
Encoder application was
also installed on your machine. If you also have QuickTime,
Adobe After Effects,
Avid Studio, or Final Cut Pro installed on your machine,
they, too, were given the
capability to use the Encoder when it was installed.
If you will be converting a video to the FLV format, the
video must be in one of
these formats:
• AVI—Audio Video Interleave
• MOV—QuickTime 4 or later
• MPEG—Motion Picture Experts Group

Flash videos embedded in Facebook don't appear when played

My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Internet Explorer 11, and Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145. I have Microsoft Security Essentials and an activated copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware protecting me from viruses and malware, and my IT department confirms that there is no malware infection playing a role here.
I am, however, having an odd and very frustrating problem with playing all Adobe Flash videos which are embedded inside of Facebook.com, including those which are shared from YouTube. Opening the same YouTube video in YouTube.com does not produce the same behavior - YouTube videos ALWAYS play fine on YouTube.com (whether embedded or full-screen), but NEVER play fine when they are embedded inside of a Facebook post.
NOTE: The same videos work EXACTLY AS EXPECTED in Firefox and Google Chrome, so this seems to be an IE-specific issue. This started back when I was running IE10 and has continued over into IE11.
Here is what happens in both Internet Explorer 10 and 11:
In my Facebook news feed, I locate a video I would like to watch. Before pressing Play, I see a still shot from the video with the Play icon transposed on top of the picture.
I click the Play icon to play the video in Facebook's embedded mode (where I can see other news feed messages above and below the video).
The picture disappears and turns to white (no borders, just white). Along the bottom edge of the video is a bar containing the play/pause, volume, maximize, etc. buttons. Behind these buttons I can see a faded-yet-moving view of the bottom edge of the video, but the rest of the video area is completely white.
I hear the audio playing, even though I can't see any picture other than that lower edge I just described.
If I click the maximize button at the bottom right edge of the video, the video opens to fill the screen and the video picture suddenly appears and runs as expected.
If I press ESC to get out of maximize view, the embedded Facebook screen (with the video again back to the news feed context) returns, but the picture goes white again just as in step 3, with the audio still playing as in step 4.
Right clicking on the offending video brings up a drop-down menu indicating that the video is using Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145.
Other videos shared in Facebook, like those from vimeo.com, play without any problem in the same Facebook.com news feed view, regardless of whether they are in embedded or in full-screen mode. Only videos using Adobe Flash Player seem affected here.
I have tried the following:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player. Reboot. Open Facebook.com, find the video in the news feed, which indicates that Adobe Flash must be installed. Click the link provided and install Adobe Flash from adobe.com. Return to the video in my news feed on facebook.com and click play. Same behavior as described above - no change.
Added facebook.com and youtube.com to my Trusted Sites list. No change.
Added facebook.com and youtube.com to IE's compatibility view, exited all instances of the browser, reopened. No change.
Checked for unusual browser add-ons - none found.
Cleared web cache, deleted cookies, reset browsers to default settings and default advanced settings - no change
Checked Windows Updates - all updates are current.
Ran full scans of Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes. No malware or issues found. No issues found with roguekiller, adwcleaner, and other malware-related tools either.
Any suggestions for me here? I'd really just like to click Play and see the embedded video like everybody else can. FYI, all other computers (running Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8) on my network play these same videos in IE9, IE10, and IE11 without the problems I'm having with this one. I'd sure appreciate any help you can offer!

Not that the moment. It's not ideal, but you have two working options, which is better than none.
In all likelihood, the content providers are going to have to change code to accommodate IE11 and higher. I spent a bunch of time this week reviewing some technical guidance that we're putting together for developers, but the long and short of it is that IE wants to developers to stop writing code that handles IE differently than other browsers.
IE has a history of not exactly working like other browsers, and for a multitude of reasons (including how JavaScript and Flash communicate to each other), developers as a standard practice wrote a lot of code to specifically handle these quirks in IE.
To get out of this impossible position where they want markup to be the same for all browsers, but having all of this code targeted specifically at IE because of the long legacy of being problematic for web developers, IE masquerades as something else and disables features like conditional comments that allowed code to target IE.
The net result is that a lot of stuff is broken in IE11. We're working closely with Microsoft to be good partners and help them through this transition with a few technical changes on our end, but developers are going to have to change their code and/or update the underlying libraries all over the web. This is not going to happen overnight. Big content providers with more resources will probably move faster than smaller sites with less developers, but it's going to be months or years before all of this shakes out.

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.

Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.

To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

How to create a relative path for Flash video on a CDROM

Hello - I need to distribute a web site to a client on a
cross-platform Hybrid CDROM so that they can edit and make
adjustments. This website also includes 2 flash videos that need to
be included on the CDROM.
My problem is this: I encoded the video in the Flash Encoder
app and brought them into the main Flash app for conversion into
swf files. I also used the media controller parameter to add a
control skin to the movies. I now have 2 swf files associated with
the flv video file, and I understand that all 3 of these must stay
together for the video to work properly. The video plays correctly
along with the controller skin on my Mac however only the
controller shows up but no video on the CDROM. I believe that this
has something to do with absolute vs. relative file paths for the
video flv file to the swf controller file.
I do not know how to change this path - I know "where" to
change it within the controller parameter options box but do not
know what syntax exactly to place here. How do you specify a
relative path here? When I try to do it I get an error saying that
the flv file cannot be found.
I am trying to use the following syntax: /video/welding.flv
where video is the name of the folder and welding is the name of
the file. I have done numerous Google searches on this subject and
stil cannot find an answer, so any help is appreciated.

OK - I assigned the FLVPlayback component the instance name
of videoPlayer to keep it simple. And I copied the above code into
an Actions - Frame on Frame 1. FYI - The name of the video has been
changed from welding to Timet Sponge.
Now I get the following error messages:
**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 1: 1119:

reference with static type fl.video:FLVPlayback.

Is there a way to create either a flash video or wmv from Keynote?

I have a file that I am sending out to a group who are Windows users, and have included effects and audio. There is a good chance that none of them have quicktime and I do not want them to need to download it. Can I somehow create a flash video or other format that will play the presentation and not reformat out the effects, transitions and audio?
Thanks!

You might check these guys out...
www.sorensonmedia.com They have a product called Squeeze for Flash, that converts any Video format into .swf or flv... And they have Demo's so you can try out their software before you buy... so try that...
Also, you can try importing the .MOV into your FLV directly (either to library or to stage) and export as a .swf and see if it works (in theory it should work without any "coding", simply import the mov into a new Flash Document and export MOVIE (.swf)... Then open the swf and see what happens...
