Flash Video Lost when Published

I included a flash video in my captivate project. It looks fine in the preview. When I published my project the flash video does not play it just displays a blank slide. I appreciate any advice.

Hi there
Where are you playing the file from? Did you copy it to a server or are you testing on your own PC and seeing the issue?
If you copied to a server, did you remember to copy the FLV file?
Cheers... Rick

Can you make a emeded flash video disspear when finished

IS the a paramater or other setting to make a flash video
finish when it is finised. Its just a simple screencast video that
i want to totaly dissapera when completed

The only way I know to get html into flash is in a in a
dynamic textfield and what is allowed is very limited. I suppose
you were thinking of something in flash that looks like a table
that would be easy enough. Just do it after the end of the video
and it always helps to use multiple layers if there's any degree of
complexity.

Video flickering when published live from camera

I am getting flickered image when published from live camera.
Settings done for view of flash player in html page and settings done before publishing in actionscript is as follows:
setting in HTML:
size of flash player object in html page is 240*180
setting in actionscript:
stage size is 216*162
size of video component is 216*162
camera.setMode varies as:- camera.setMode(160,120,6) //////////////in this case there is a flickering
camera.setMode(320,240,8) //////////////in this case there is a flickering
camera.setMode(640,480,2) //////////////in this case there is no flickering.
Now what I have tried to resolve the issue:
1) changed the size in html to 320*240
2) set the stage size to 320*240
3) size of video component to 320*240
I have tried all permutations for the above three scenario but still not got the solution.
I have also tried to make the size of video component as per the camera height and width respectively, with/ without altering the size of stage, still no success.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Nitesh

first thing to try is to upgrade your video driver. if the issue still persists, please enter a bug here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm
please attach your dxdiag info in the bug - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/839/cpsid_83952.html#main_For_Windows_users

Flash not displaying when published

When publishing my flash site, the only thing that displays on screen is the link for a flash update. I am not sure why this is. I have everything up to date on my computer. I believe it has to do with the code in the html that was generated by flash. Please take a look and let me know. Thanks

Nevermind I found the answer...
For anyone else who is having the same problem...
<param name="swfversion" value="11.4.402.287" />
this defaults to 15.0.0.0 and needs to be set at the current version of flash.
Something adobe should look at.
Hope this helps anyone who has had the same problem.

Flash video artifacts when using discrete graphics

So I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with Intel and ATI graphics. When watching flash video (YouTube), I have weird artifacting going on when using just discrete graphics. While using Intel graphics, the video usually plays fine, just a little choppy. I am using gfxCardStatus to switch between them. Is this a flash bug or something else? I've added an image to show what I'm talking about.

I don't see any evidence that you used Dreamweaver to insert
the
player. Normally, when you insert Flash with Dreamweaver, it
inserts
code I can readily identify. Did you use GoLive?
The pages you show are consipicuously missing the
<object> code and
the JavaScript that DW uses.
And I don't see any differences in the players. The pages
both link to
files named flvplayer.swf (in different folders) with the
same look and
the same file size. I am late in this thread, so maybe I
missed the
boat.
Anyway, I don't know if this would make a difference with
that player,
but one page uses a relative link to the .flv, while the
other page
uses an absolute link, including
http://. See if changing that one to a
relative link helps.
I only watched about a minute from both pages and, although
872 Kpbs
for the video track is VERY high, I did not see any glitches.
(Did you mean to use two slashes in the second link?)

Flash 8 crashes when publishing (Mac 10.3.9)

I've searched the forums and haven't found an instance that
is relevant enough to my situation.
Pretty basic, really. I have a registered version of Flash
and I go to publish. Not doing anything crazy with the publish
settings. The document I'm working on isn't immense or overly
complex, either.
It gets about 1/3 or 1/2 through publishing it, then crashes
(i.e., "The application Flash has unexpectedly quit.").
This is part of the message that my OS sends to Apple...
"Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x0e8e8d9e"
What's all that about?
From what I've read, Flash is a bit buggy (hit & miss)
with this whole crashing thing.
Anybody have any links or idears on how to get this fixed (or
at least working better/more reliably)?
I've repaired permissions, run Onyx (i.e., deleted system
cache, etc. etc.), restarted, updated, repaired permissions,
restarted. . .
In a pickle...
Can some kind soul help me out? I hate pickles...
Thanks,
-j

Well, I talked to Adobe support last night for about an hour
and this is the scoop. Evidently, I was only having problems with
one of my documents. I was able to successfully publish a different
document. I was also able to save it, too. This document, however,
was much simpler than the one I was having problems with.
In my troublesome document, I had imported some .swf
animations that I had exported from ImageReady. I didn't realize
that Flash creates a .swf library symbol,
and two library instances of
each frame (a bitmap and a movieclip symbol).
I realized that I had many, many duplicates and duplicates of
duplicates. My document had become ridiculously huge (~227MB). I
deleted all those instances, re-imported the .swf file and got my
file size down to about 77MB. I was now able to save my document,
but I still couldn't publish it.
So, the support guy told me to go into "Publish Settings",
click on the "Formats" tab and deselect "HTML". Click the publish
button at the bottom of the dialogue window and presto! It
published (albeit without the HTML file).
That's about where it ended. The support guy couldn't figure
out why this document was crashing Flash when trying to publish
both the .swf
and .html files. He recommended a work-around of creating
the HTML file in Dreamweaver. I had already been hand-coding the
html file as a work-around, so that's where we left it.
So, this is what I learned:
1. Repair permissions, run Onyx & clear your system cache
(don't have Onyx for 10.3.x? You can download the
zip
file. You need admin access. Be careful with it, you can screw
up your computer. Be conservative with the settings. Use at your
own risk).
if this doesn't solve it, then:
2. Make sure you're up-to-date on your system software, Flash
software, and Flash player. Repair permissions again after updating
any software.
if this doesn't solve it, then:
3. Go to Users > username > Library > Application
Support > Macromedia and rename the Flash 8 folder as "Flash 8
old". Flash will create a new folder when you load it (it's an app
preference folder). You may delete "Flash 8 old" if this solution
doesn't end up really screwing things up (or you can delete it if
it fixes your problem). If this solution does end up creating
problems (or if you had certain settings you just can't lose),
delete the new "Flash 8" folder and rename "Flash 8 old" to "Flash
8".
If it still doesn't work, re-evaluate your .fla:
4. Limit the size and complexity of your .fla (delete
superfuous library instances)
5. Library instances can become corrupt, leading to a crash
(delete suspect ones, re-create them)
6. Fonts can become corrupt, leading to a crash (validate
your fonts)
7. Importing .swf files into your .fla file is iffy, due to
different compression(?) settings. This could be the culprit in my
circumstance. I may try doing a loadmovie deal on it at some
point... when I figure out where/when it could be loaded in the
background.
7. Publish your .fla without the .html document.
If all else fails and your Flash app just ain't workin', here
are instructions for uninstalling the studio (and it appears,
individual applications):

Flash CS6 crashes when publishing fla`s with big libraries

Hi guys,
I am currently working with Flash CS6 and i noted that the bigger the libraries in my fla`s get the more likely flash will crash when i try to publish these fla`s. It already has gotten to a point where all the crashes, and then trying again to publish, has taken up a considerable amount of my time. But the thing is the publishing does not alway result in a crash, its more like 80% of the time it crashes. Also what i do once a file has crashed, i open it again and then just open and close some folders in the library, then safe and then try to publish again. After doing this 4 - 5 times publishing suddenly works again, but also just 4 - 5 times until it crashes again and i have to do it all over again.
So again, this only seems to happen with fla`s with big libraries. Is ther something i can do about this?

It's been my experience that Flash doesn't much like a few things in particular. One is large vector files with a lot of points; in other words stuff brought in from Illustrator or trace bitmapped from within the program so you might try reducing the amount of points in your art if you'r working with imported art. Flash seems to work best when all art has been created within the program. If you've converted it to vector via the Trace Bitmap or Illustrator's Live Trace it doesn't like that either. It also tends to bog down with high resolution bitmaps, especially with many layers (which greatly add to the file size) so you might try to flatten some of the art to make it more managable. In general, maybe see if you can reduce whatever file sizes you can in your project before you import them. I typically have some pretty big libraries and Flash doesn't crash so much for me so changing your workflow a bit might be useful. IF it's code that's crashing the render, that I can't help you with, but there's some pretty knowledgable people on this board who might be able to help in that regard.

Embedded Vimeo videos play when published on desktop but won't show up online

I have a site that I updated recently … when I finished revising in iWeb and published it to my URL none of the embedded Vimeo videos show up. According to Vimeo customer support, and my web host, there is "no code or file" in the space where the video/html snippet should be. Tried rebuilding pages from scratch, still no video. Same process worked before and my site was functioning fine until I made this most recent update. Any reason why embed code would work prior to update, and not now? Why it finds the video when published to a folder on my desktop, but not when it's published to URL? Working with iWeb 3.0 and OS 10.9.4.

From your statements I guess that you put the files on the server yourself.
Make sure that you put ALL the files and folders on the server.
And why not provide a link to the page?

Flash video - behaviour when buffering stops

I've started using progressive Flash video on one of my sites. The objective is to provide subtitling for foreign learners of English. It works well, subtitles jump around on full screen, but that's just cosmetic.
However, one of my testers reports that periodically the playback stops, and you have to press the start button to continue. The desired behaviour would be à la YouTube, where it pauses, the buffer fills, it continues. I've only seen this problem once on my system.
There are references to this in the discussions, eg http://forums.adobe.com/message/3794903#3794903 but few answers.
So, can I ask
1. With progressive flash video, what is the expected default behaviour when the playback hits the end of the buffer because too little data is being downloaded - is it supposed to recover and continue automatically ?
or
2. If not, is there a known fix ?
My goodness, it's a black art Flash Video ! Here's a link where maybe you'll see the problem.

Flash video lags when uploaded to Youtube.

Hi.
I have tried to upload one of my flash videos on youtube, the only problem is that it lags!
The sound is perfect, but the film only shows about 1 frame per second, when it's supposed to be 12 frames per second. This is obviously nothing worth watching when the picture lags as much as it does.
I have uploaded the same video on my facebook profile, and it worked pretty good, but as I already said, it lags when it is on youtube.
I don't have any movieclips in the movie I uploaded to Youtube.
Does it have anything to do with the settings on the movie? I eksported it in to a quiktime film before I uploaded it to youtube. I saw a tutorial where the person exported his flash into quiktime and uploaded it to youtube, and the animations were smooth, but when I do this, it lags.
Can anybody help me?

I don't see that. To me, it looks the same quality as any YouTube video.
How do most YouTube videos look to you?

Crystal 2011 - Formats lost when published to CMC

Hi team,
Here's my issue...
Have exported a Crystal 2009 report and saved it into 2011.
I noted that some of the formats had changed slightly. i.e. font size, paragraph line spacing
Fixed these, ran the report from crystal 2011 and exported the report to PDF, looks great!
Published the report to CMC and ran a test hoping to get the same results, however this time the formats are gone?
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong, please.
Thanks,
Simon

Thanks for your reply, the formats are being lost when I export to PDF.
We wonder if the problem is something to do with the way the text was formatted in the older version of crystal and that exporting and importing into Crystal 2011 has lost some of this.

My embedded Flash video disappears when I relaunch MS Word

I embedded a Flash video with a youtube URL into MS Word 2010 using the "more controls" button on the "developer" tab. It worked perfect, exactly how I wanted it to, UNTIL . . . I saved and closed the document. When I reopened the document, the embedded video was still there, but only as an invisible object. I couldn't see it, let alone play it.
I have replicated this in various editions of MS Word, on several computers, each time varying things like the location of the video (my hard disk instead of a URL), etc. I also tried saving the document as "macro-enabled." In every single case, the video works great when initially embedded, but once the file has been closed and then reopened, the video is still there but no longer visible, and therefore useless.
Any ideas how I can make my embedded Flash video remain visible in my Word document, even after closing and reopening the document?
Thank you!

I suspect the best place for the question is over on the Microsoft Word forums, as you'll most like find a wider audience there that uses Word as HTML generation tool.

Video is lost when published - black screen

Our computer running VC2 for the past year or so just crashed. We've reinstalled VC2 on a new computer, and it appears to work fine. However, when we publish to WMV or AVI, the image is just black - there's no video visible despite the fact that we can see the video on the "REview" section of VC2 so we know it's getting captured. We can also publish to .flv and see the video. I've tried updating Windows Media Player, but we already had version 11 and I don't think it did anything. Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks!!!

I've got the same issue. Video is fine when practicing and recording but it doesn't actually record the video. How about it Adobe? The first question posted here five years ago was unanswered so is it possible that you have no interest in supporting a product you still sell?

Captivate 4 video stops when publishing into pdf

I have created a video with Captivate 4 and have published it into a pdf file.
The video/audio then freezes and stops half way through, almost as if when it was moving onto a new slide.
I have tried publishing to html instead, and it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to get the pdf up and running?
Thanks!

Hi there
Not that it will actually help anything, but if you can supply me with one of the Camtasia AVI files, I'll be happy to test for you on my end. I do have Captivate 1, 2, 3 and 4 all on the same machine.
Also, I wasn't suggesting that Camtasia could automatically accomplish this. What I was suggesting was that you could open the video in Camtasia and use it as you would Captivate. You could split the video yourself. Pare away some, publish it as a smaller segment that you would drop into Captivate. Rinse and repeat as needed. Assuming, of course, that your goal is to get this into Captivate.

Flash CS4 crashes when publishing big SWF that previously were working fine

Hi all,
This is driving me crazy, I tried looking into Adobe FAQs and other places inside this site but cant find a good solution to this, in fact I found people asking the same issue. The fact is Im making a game that after being published is 7Mb SWF, this was working great and in fact I havent made any critical change there, only updated a text field with a typo (no code), then when I tried to publish it crashed (other big games I made are making Flash crash too), and crashes the same when hitting CTRL+ENTER or just selecting File>>Publish or File>>Publish settings>>Publish, I reinstalled the whole CS4 6 or 7 times and even got a tool from here to uninstall the player (I thought it uninstalled the player used from IDE but its apparently the browser plugin) asuming the issue could be there but still keeps crashing after I re-install it, oddly small FLA files can be published, I looked into CS5 faqs and I have seen they can set the cache size there but I cant find in CS4, and Im unsure if is due to that but just my guess after all I read about this, could someone help me please? Thanks a lot beforehand, I have been fighting this for 4 days almost sleepless
Im only using as2 code in these projects I meantioned, and I have Windows Vista on this machine, just if this helps to solve it, again, thanks for any clue
Edit: Im unsure if this is the right section or not, please receive my apologies if its wrong place as maybe this is intended for only code doubts but I couldnt find the right section to ask it so please move it to the appropiate place when you can and Im sorry for the trouble

Well my friend, you saved me here =), that final advice you gave was the solution, I followed the steps, deleted the registry keys and deleted the folders with the preferences, then I reinstalled over the damaged Flash Pro version and it worked again!!, I even managed to recover my workspace with the folder I saved before, dont know why I never got a dialog to reset preferences in the middle of this process as you mentioned and as is said in the article, but the important is that it worked, and finally the Flash Pro is able to publish the mentioned as2 projects, takes a bit of time to publish but it was never too fast with bigger projects.
I owe you one, I would like to include a link to your site in the game as a way to thank you for this, but if you feel its wrong or you prefer any other way to show how much I thank you for this please let me know
The link I would like to add can be seen here in the game tittle screen and "About" section
