Flash video Movie ad banner tutorial

Does anyone have a link for a Flash tutorial that shows how they make the banners for coming soon movies with the video inside? Sometimes they expand. Or what the genral specs are?
thanks,
Frank

What I need is to be able to take flash 9, AS3 swfs, import
them into a Director 11 project, and interact with the flash
funcitons, call them, set properties, etc. Despite the
documentation on the Adobe Director page saying this is possible, I
have not been able to get it to work, and other posters on this
board have stated that it is currently not possible. Any clarity or
examples would help. I notice Director 11 has no entries concerning
Director/flash programming yet on the Adobe Developer page, just
tutorials for MX2004.

Dividing large Flash Videos Movies into smaller ones that play in sequence

I need to know how I can take a large flash movie and divide
it into two or more smaller ones that play in sequence in order to
speed up initial download time. I have the swfsequencer plugin but
I do not know how to use it.
Can anyone please help me with this?

Flash video Progressive Download Performance

I've rendered a series of Flash Video movies selecting the
HIGH Quality, Progressive Download settings.
Even with a cable modem connection speed of 8 Mbps, these
movies choke badly on playback.
http://www.reikoproductions.com/
I don't imagine the SWF publish settings have anything to do
with this, but I have them set to JPEG Quality 100, and the
Compress Movie checkbox is UNCHECKED.
I am presently rendering a set of movies at MEDIUM Quality
settings, but I'd like to know why these movies choke like this,
with this fast of a connection. I don't know much about the web
hosting server these are posted on, but could it be a slow server?
Something in the HTML code I've missed?
Thanks!

This is an incorrect question. Length itself (duration) does
not
matter. Only bitrate does. Check your video bitrate and
evaluate your
channel bandwidth.
Progressive download has two big disadvantages against
streaming:
- it takes all available channel bandwidth regardless to the
video
bitrate. It may cause problems at the client side;
- it does not allow quick navidation across the video unless
it will
be completely downloaded to the user's computer.
If you'd like to avoid such problems and you have a
webhosting with
PHP (or like that), then you could try to use so called HTTP
Streaming, which resolves both of these issues without
special server
usage. You can find some information here:

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

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".

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..

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,

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.

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,

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 Player Need Help

Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me. I am going to school and I have an action scripting class. For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.
We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck.
Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.controls.List;
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source= "fashion.flv";
addChild(vid);
vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
vid.x=100;
vid.y=300;
vid.skinAutoHide="true";
vid.width=500;
vid.height=280;
var vidList:List = new List();
vidList.x= vid.x+10;
vidList.y= 200;
vidList.width=200;
vidList.height=100;
vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
addChild(vidList);
vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
function playVid(e:Event):void{
vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Here is a screenshot of the errors I am receiving.
Please help me

I don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name. Like this:
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
     import fl.controls.List;
     public class Main extends Sprite {
          public function Main() {
               var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
               vid.source= "fashion.flv";
               addChild(vid);
               vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
               vid.x=100;
               vid.y=300;
               vid.skinAutoHide="true";
               vid.width=500;
               vid.height=280;
               var vidList:List = new List();
               vidList.x= vid.x+10;
               vidList.y= 200;
               vidList.width=200;
               vidList.height=100;
               vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
               addChild(vidList);
               vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
          function playVid(e:Event):void{
               vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with:   Main
Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv.

Multiple Flash Videos on 1 Page

Hi All
If i were to put 4 flash videos into a page, by using the
'import flash video' function in DW CS3 - will they all load at the
same time, or only load when the user clicks play?
Many Thanks
JP

Im not sure I understand, however I have a page up with 2
flash movies, but
I timed them by extending the first frame on the one to not
start any motion
until the first one is coming to an end.
So they both in essence start at once, but the one on top
plays out, as it
is coming to an end, the one in the body begins to move...

Dont know if that helps you or not.

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">

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;

Flash Video Director Template

Hi all,
I created a page of info on the process of creating Flash
Video and
integrating them with Director. The tutorial is at:
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/FlashVideo/
The top part may seem basic for some. It's there to support
my students
who are using clips from YouTube in their work.
If you scroll right to the bottom, I have a FLA and DIR
template for
linking FLVs in Director. With the SWF created from the FLA
movie, and
with behaviors in the Director movie, you can dynamically
link to FLVs
and have controls to pause, play, rewind, and wait for the
end of the
FLV.
Hope it's useful to all. Let me know if anything is unclear.
And thanks to Chuck Neal who helped with the FLV behaviors.

Director/flash programming yet on the Adobe Developer page, just
tutorials for MX2004.
