Flash Video on Page
I'm new to DW CS3 and am having a hard time getting a web
page to play an FLV file. I set everything up in DW and it plays
just fine when I preview it but when I upload the new Page and the
FLV file and try to view it on the web, nothing, nada.
I also uploaded clear_skin_1.swf and
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf also. Am I doing something blatantly
obvious or is there a little something I'm missing.
Have looked int he help file but am unable to find anything
that looks relevant.
Help?

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 fileThanks 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.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
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. -
Flash Video in a page made from a template
And discards the change. I am trying to insert into the
editable region but it will not allow.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Making this change would require changing code that is locked
by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded.
Any ideas,This is incorrect. You have been told this before, you know?
Please adjust
your response! 8)
The problem is that when you insert the Flash video, if you
don't pay
attention, you might leave the checkbox for "checking the
version of the
Flash player" enabled. When you do that, DW wants to insert a
call into the
body tag, onload. Of course, in a template, the body tag is
locked, and
that's what causes the error message.
To get around it, uncheck that version checking checkbox.

Help inserting a flash video into my web page
Hello!
I'd love some help inserting a flash video into my web page. My web page is hosted by Viviti, templated, and edited online. I can add html to it, and I have the html source for my flash video. I also have uploaded the flash file to the server. Since I am very html illiterate, though, I need some help rewriting the html script so it can be published. There are two problems- firstly, no 'headers' or 'body' allowed in the script- these are already a part of the template. Secondly, I don't know how to rewrite it to refer to the uploaded files. It's also imperative that the full screen mode functions. I've pasted the source code for the flash video here. Please help!!!
Thanks!

Disappearing page and flash video in iweb????????
Hello Everyone! I have a question --- Is it at all possible to have a blank black page appear when i go to my website and have a flash video play on it, then when it is done playing have it disappear and have the main page showing with the links on it to go to the different pages of my website? If so, how do i go about it?
Hello MacAVUser08,
You can have your page load up with the Flash video, for sure. You just have to have your Flash video living on a server that supports .swf files.
This explanation should help -
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Movies.html
Now, in terms of your Flash movie going away, and having the other page with the links appear on it...??
Yyyeeeaaahhhh...... I am not exactly sure how. More than likely, there is some either Java script code, or HTML code out there that can handle this. The issue you may run in to is that you are dealing with a Flash file - to begin with. You may run into compatibility issues. Just a head's up.
When your Flash file finishes, you could have a link pop up (either within the Flash file itself, or right below it, as an HTML hyperlink), that will direct you to the page that you wish. This, I know, for sure will work. The other has not only a greater learning curve to it, but is more shaky.
All the best!
Sincerely,
Daniel Louis Rappaport

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
JPIm 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.

Flash Video in template child pages
I have created templates with editable regions for my
websites. When I try to insert a Flash video file (.flv) it wants
to put code in the header region and body region. I have tried
erasing the editable areas, making the entire header an editable
area, making the entire site an editable area. I've tried looking
on Google and the Dreamweaver Developers section (there is a link
to an answer but the link is broken). I unfortunately only have
Dreamweaver 8. If this problem is fixed in CS3 I'd be happy to go
to Kinkos and rent a machine. Any suggestions?
Thanks!Here's how you will have to manage this.
When you insert a Flash video on the page, several things
happen -
1. DW inserts a link to a javascript file in the head of the
page.
2. If you elect to check for Flash versions, DW inserts a
call to that
javascript in the <body> tag of the page.
3. DW then inserts a javascript call to the file (in #1) on
the page at the
location where the Flash is to appear.
In a Template child page -
1. The head region must have an editable region in it, so
that the link can
be inserted.
2. The Flash check call will fail to be written to the body
tag, since that
is LOCKED by the template.
3. The javascript will be written to the body of the page
where you
inserted the Flash.
Thus, 2 of the 3 elements should work fine.
My suggestion? Do it again, and do not select the check for
Flash version -
that should work for you.

I get the standard Firefox web page but also get a second web page advertisement for Flash Video Downloader. I use Flash Video Downloader already and my data use is limited monthly so I don't want this page coming up every time I get on the web browser. I've asked the Flash Video folks but they have no suggested solutions. It is not shown in options for home page and I can't find where it is being loaded from.
Hello,
Try restore your startup page(Home Page), go to '''Tools''' >> '''Option''' >> '''General''', and restore to default or a page that you want.
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page]

Placing Flash Video in Specific Location on Web Page
Hi-
Basic (I think) question here regarding Flash video on a web
page created with DW8. I am trying to figure out how to have
several thumbnail images on the right hand side of the page link in
such a way that when they are clicked they will play the
corresponding Flash video file in a player window on the left hand
side of the page (something like a YouTube page layout). It seems
like it should be simple enough to link the thumbnail images to the
videos and then have the videos play in the player at a preset
location on the page, however, I'll be darned if I can find
anything on the Adobe site, tutorials, or the Web in general that
addresses just how to do this. Maybe I'm just putting in the wrong
search terms. Anyway, if you have any suggestions, tips or
tutorials you can recommend I would surely appreciate it.
-=SBhi,
You can video on image click using the simple javascript.
the script can be like this:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function playVideo(val){
document.getElementById('
divLayer').innerHTML=
'<OBJECT
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"\n'+
' codebase="
http://macromedia.com/cabs/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"\n'+
' ID=flaMovie WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240>\n'+
' <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="te.swf">\n'+
' <PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="url=' + val+'">\n'+
' <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>\n'+
' <EMBED src="te.swf" FlashVars="url=' + val+'"\n'+
' WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240 \n'+
' TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash">\n'+
' </EMBED>\n'+
'</OBJECT>\n';
</script>
where
divLayer is div layer insdie the body.
And, for image click the function can be assigned like this
<a href="javascript:playVideo(
flvName.flv' )"> <img
src="some.jpg"></a><br/>
In the flash video player(te.swf in this case) you need to
declare a variable called
url
and assign the video contentPath to url.
I hope this works for you.. -
Flash Video Controls Not Showing in Page
Have DWCS3 on XP
I have a flash video file that was created with controls.
There seems to be a checkbox for controls in
Dreamweaver...BUT...when I play the video locally or on the
server...the controls are absent.
Did a search...What am I missing
Thanks!Did you upload the video control images to server? Did you
upload the SWF
file? Can you post a link to the page so we can see the code
and supporting
files?

I only have to see them for a few seconds (while the page is loading and before I can close it) and it me. Is there a Mozilla/Firefox add on that I can use to disable these 6-10sec flashers and not affect other video watching? Please help! ThanksThere can be various way to animate images.
In this case it is an animated image and you can set the <b>image.animation_mode</b> pref to "once" on the <b>about:config</b> page to animate such an image only once or use "none" to block the animation completely.

You can look at the SuperStop extension that allows to stop animated GIF images via Shift+Esc:

Other pages may use other means like displaying a sequence on images via JavaScript or Flash objects.

Juggling Acrobat "slide time" that has Flash video on a page
I am trying to build a corporate slideshow from InDesign Mac over to Acrobat Pro 9.
Once I get inside Acrobat Pro 9 "fullscreen" mode, I want each slide to play 5 seconds. (So far no problem.)
But I have one page that has a properly placed Flash video in it -- a 30-second video.
How can I get Acrobat to hold on that page/slide until the Flash video completes.
So far, I can only get 5 seconds of the video, and then Acrobat rolls on to the next slide.
I have not been able to find any solution online. Anyone have an idea?

Everything I read says how easy it is to insert flash video
with cs4.. just a few clicks and presto! So why cant I get it to
work? I have read tutorials until my eyes are bleeding and the best
I can get is a transparent flash
player with no content.. looks like a blank page until you
drag your mouse across it. I created a new HTML inserted the flash
video, uploaded all the files but nothing.. what am I doing wrong??

The program you used to compress the .flv did not include the
required
Meta Data that the Flash video component requires.
If you're on Windows, you can insert the Meta Data by using
the free
program found on the following Web site. If you're not
comfortable with
the command line, download flvmdigui105.zip as well (it's a
GUI
interface to the main program).

There may be a Mac equivalent, or you might want to try a
different
encoder program.

i am not sure if this will make sense so please tell me if it
doesn't. is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end
of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site. the
video plays showing the name of the site then fades to show the
text "enter" which i want to make the link to the next page.> the video plays showing the name of the
> site then fades to show the text "enter"
in FLASH set a gotourl action on the last frame of the move.
If this is a "splash page" and has a dancing company logo and
a throbbing
drumbeat- reconsider. Just make the homepage of the website
the homepage.
Don't make people wait to see some content.

Hello,
Would be grateful if anyone can help me.
website: www.Paris-Pet.com
Currently, a flash video plays on the index page. The following action is placed in the last frame of the video in Flash:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.paris-pet.com/home.html"));
This is working as intended with one exception: Instead of directing to the home page from the index page when the video is completed, it opens up the home page in a second browser window, leaving the empty browser window of the flash movie. This is not the seamless design I was hoping for, and I've also been told on some computers, blocking pop up windows is preventing them from smoothly transitioning to the rest of the web site.
I would like the redirect to open the home page in the same browser window as the movie in the index page played.
Please help. Print designer in over her head.
JMBrilliant, Jon. Thank you so much. For those of you who stumble on this, I did have a tiny bit of trouble when I edited the actionscript; the video didn't play as expected. After trial and error, this is the code that worked both in playing the video and opening up in the same browser window:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.paris-pet.com/home.html"),"_self");
The difference seems to be this: ") before the comma prior to "_self");
Again, Jon -- thanks!
