Flash Video Issue

I keep getting the following error message when I try to
insert flash video with a skin: "The URL cannot contain spaces or
special characters. Change the path of file name and try again."
I've changed to all lower case and eliminated spaces but to
no avail. Here is an example of the url I've entered:
media_video/SistaShirl_June06.swf and
media_video/goswaipunagroovy.swf
Any help for this would be appreciated.

P.S: Try an option from the dropdown menu on the page and except "a dimond bullet" which I know is faulty, and witness my issue.
Also when I replay the MP4 movie clip after full download and viewing it displays without skipping...!
Thanks again.

Fullscreen Flash Video Issues

On all browsers it seems that flash videos from certain sites (not youtube) will fullscreen initially and then only populate the top left quadrant with video. My flash is up to date and so are my browsers.

Check the Adobe forum area. There could be other Mac users with the same issues. Solution would be found there if any.

Creating Flash video issues

I am trying to convert a .mpg to a Flash video and can get
most of the way but it's not playing on my web page. I can view
locally when I do a open with IE and it plays before I upload all
the files but once I upload all the files it will not play.
These are the steps I am taking to do this:
1. Open Macromedia Flash Professional 8
2. Select File/New/Flash Document
3. In Document Properties change Dimensions to: 354px w x
240px h
4. File/Import/ImportVideo...
5. Where is your video file? On your computer: (Browse to
file 'ff.mpg' and select Ok) then click 'Next'
6. Deployment: I select 'Progressive download from a web
server' (click Next)
7. Encoding: In dropdown I select Flash 7 - Medium Quality
(400 bps) and on right side change my slider to start where I want
it to and then click 'Next'
8. Skinning: Skin = ClearOverPlayMute.swf and click 'Next'
9. Finish Video Import: Click 'Finish'
10. Then a Save As pops up and I save to demo.fla (Flash
Video Encoding Progress shows it encode the video)
11. I can see the video in Flash 8 and view the video by
going to Control/Test Movie and works great.
In my /flash folder I have the following files: ff.mpg,
demo.fla, ff.flv, ClearOverPlayMute.swf, demo.swf
12. Open Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and create new web page
(File/New)
13. Click on the flash icon and select demo.swf and it
creates code and upload demo.html along with all the other files
excep ff.mpg
Link is:
Page with my
code.
Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working? Do I have
to set something on the server? A friend with MX didn't do any
encoding.
Thanks for anyone that have any thoughts.

I am also facing the same problem and I am told that you have
to configure the MIME settings on your server
& ensure that the path to the flv. is correct.
Hope this helps

Online Flash Video Issues

Greetings, folks. I am having a terrible time watching Flash videos online (from Google vids, YouTube, Hulu, etc) on Firefox 3. I have to click on the "Play/Pause" button numerous times in rapid succession for it to register. When I click to adjust the volume, the volume bar pops up, only to disappear when I move to change it. Once the video starts, I can watch without interruption, but I have the aforementioned problem if I need to pause or restart. This problem started yesterday, after more than a year of enjoying the online streaming videos with this setup.
Any ideas? I have the newest version of Flash Player 10.
Thanks!

Okay. That suggests a problem with Firefox. Do you have the latest version of Firefox?
If you have bookmarks you want to keep, you'll want to save them before proceeding. I'm not sure if my next steps will delete those.
Delete the application from the Applications folder. Also delete the Mozilla folder in home>library as well as the Firefox and Mozilla folders in the home>Library>Application Support folder.

Flash Video Issues In Safari 5 w/ 10.1 Flash Plugin

Hey Folks-
I've tried everything I can think of and read everything I could find, but I am still finding that there are a variety of flash-based video sites with content that is not loading. Some flash video loads, some does not. The pattern is not at all clear, but for example, the flash video on PBS.com and ESPN.com always fails to load. This development seems to be new to Flash 10.1, but does not replicate in any other browser.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash, repaired permissions, cleaned out the plugins folder, reapplied the OS combo update, etc, etc. No change.
Below are the errors that show up in the activity log associated with a few failed flash video loads- I'm not really clear on how the plugin works on the backend, so I am not sure I can make heads or tails of these, but I knew some of you would be able to. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks very much!

http://www-tc.pbs.org/video/media/images/assets/videos/1397474775/1397474775_Par tnerPlayer.jpg (NOT FOUND)
UPDATE:
When trying to load flash video content on ESPN just now, the video starts to load, then the flash controls disappear and the video just remains black. The browser reports no errors and nothing shows up in the activity log.

This may be applicable to your problem:
Update 10.6.4 included an out-of-date version of FlashPlayer*. Try deleting it and installing the latest one from Adobe even if it has the same version number as the one you have:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
* To avoid this situation in the future, Apple recently announced that Macs would in future not have Flash Player pre-installed, precisely to avoid this situation, saying:
We're happy to continue to support Flash on the Mac, and the best way for users to always have the most up to date and secure version is to download it directly from Adobe.
They also noted that this will be happening across all Macs in the future, though there may be some models still in the channel with Flash pre-installed.

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Video Issue

I have Dreamweaver CS3 running in OS X 10.4.11 all updated.
all of a sudden when I go to insert a Flash Video into a page I get the wheel of death and DW is frozen. I formatted the video in Flashconverter and it plays fine in mpeg streamclip.
The Insert dialog opens and I can chose the flash video and then hit detect size and the controls I want. and then I hit ok and the wheel comes up and never goes away.
If I create a new sit it will let me add the video.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks

What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
sites, just some,
or just one?

Captivate 6 Video Issue: "The flash video can not be loaded. The input may not be proper"

I've already published this particular project with multiple videos embedded with no problems in Captivate 6. I had to change one video and went to re-publish the project. Upon completing the publish, I receive an error message on EACH slide that has embedded video:
"The Flash Video Can Not Be Loaded. The Input May Not Be Proper"
There wasn't any issues with the project until changing the one video that needed to swapped out. I also tried publishing this in Captivate 8 to the same results.
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro
Captivate Version 6.1.1.240
Intel Core i5 25-20 CPU @ 2.5 Ghz
4 GB RAM
32-Bit Operating System
If anyone knows why this issue has presented itself and how we can get around it, much would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
I am a little confused here. Are you getting this error while inserting a FLV video through Insert option or inserting a video through Video > Insert Slide Video or inserting a new slide?
Re-linking means reinserting the video file. If you have already tried reinserting the video file, then have you tried inserting a different video?
Also what operating system you have on your system?
Thanks!

Insert Flash Video Skin Issue

When I Insert a Flash Video the second drop down box is
titled Skin. I have 9 options, 3 Clear, 3 Corona, 3 Halo. The first
two types add the Play Bar on to the video which shows when
scrolled over. The third adds it to the bottom.
The Halo option is what I want, a play bar at the bottom,
however this option seems to also a black line sized border just
outside the whole of the video. I can not seem to find a way to
stop this. What folder are these play bars located in? Could I add
more to it, or use flash to modify the existing skin to change
colour or remove that border or just plain make my own?
Thanks

Yes. All in my flash folder. Skin is call SkinUnderAll.swf. I did notice in Dremweaver that this file does not show up in the code with the rest of the video code. When I add the video swf do I still need to add the skin file also. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to.

R7950 TwinFrozr OC - stability issue playing flash video

After a day or so uptime, with some gaming, max gpu temp 55°C, idle 40°.
Had a driver crash - main monitor had a mess of gray noise, extended desktop not affected. Caused by playing flash video on youtube. Also occurred in online newspaper, but in that case killing flash plugin solved the problem. The second occurrence required hard reboot.
Had OC'd to 1050MHz gpu, 1575 dram, +10% power limit in Afterburner. Ran stable in multiple games (far cry 3, battlefield 3) as well as unigine heaven benchmark and 3dmark11 benchmark, as well as msi Kombustor burn-in test.
After reboot I found several events in eventvwr saying: "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
These messages appreared in the earlier event where reboot was not required.
The details of the warning follows:

While the screen was garbled, I unplugged the main monitor to isolate the source; problem moved to secondary monitor. Concluded that output from card was the problem, not the monitor.
I have since reverted the card to stock OC, 880MHz, and tested flash video playback seems fine.
Is this an instability problem due to my OC or grounds to RMA the card?
I also shot a video of the event in case anyone is interested, but can't upload until I find my memory card reader.
Second thought edit: I'm using the reference driver, should I be using MSI's driver instead?
Edit 2: I reverted to the OC I had made, and flash video playback is working as it should. A confusing problem indeed, is there a bug in the driver?

Quote
Could you please answer my question about whether it would make a difference to run MSI's branded driver versus reference?
MSI drivers are tested to works OK with the card, but you can try other drivers if you want.
If you have troubles with other drivers, its recommended to use MSI VGA drivers.

Flash video export to use in premiere, issues

I am working on a project who's intended finished location will be youtube- 4:3 aspect, 320x240. It involves taking an animation produced in flash, editing it in premiere, then saving as a final file
since my aspect ratio is 4:3, I made my .fla file 500x375 pixels. 30 fps. I then exported the video in quicktime in 'Animation' mode, 30 fps. I can only assume that this exports as a square pixel ratio?
I created a new project in premiere. Desktop Mode, 30fps, 500x375, square pixels. However, when I import the flash video (.mov exported from flash, not .flv) it over-extends the edges of my premiere stage. I also tried making a premiere project in .9 NTSC pixel ratio, same other settings, but the problem was even more pronounced.
Any help on the correct settings to use? for either side?

good call, turns out it's not exporting at 500x375 like I tell it to. Instead, it exports to 640x480. The .fla document size is 500x375... yet when I go to quicktime export settings, it says 550x400. And when it finishes export, it's 640x480. huh??
well, I guess I can make my premiere project 640x480, not going to matter much when the final product is 320x240. I just can't figure out why it insists on exporting to 640x480

Flash video skin issue

I created my flash video with a video skin I selected in CS4 and the skin file shows up in the same folder as the video but when I add the swf file to dreamweaver CS4 the controls that should show up underneath the video are not there. Does anyone have an answer because I'm going crazy.

Yes. All in my flash folder. Skin is call SkinUnderAll.swf. I did notice in Dremweaver that this file does not show up in the code with the rest of the video code. When I add the video swf do I still need to add the skin file also. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to.

What is the proper way to fix the Flash Plug-in issue that causes Firefox to hang when playing Flash videos

This is annoying and causing me to set my default to Chrome. Firefox hangs when playing Flash. I have tirelessly tried everything I could. Uninstalling Flash via the Adobe download. Uninstalling FF and every single one of it's folders. I've done it all, multiple times....and continue to have the exact same problem, any Flash video hangs. Please help, I have read countless articles about others having this same problem, yet nobody offers a real solution.

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.

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:

</object>
The page works in both browsers and the menu dropdowns appear
correctly.
I would be most grateful for anyone's advice on this.

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

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
