Flash Video Presentation Help!

Hi all, how's it going? I've been wanting to create a flash presentation similar to the one on the page of this website. This is NOT my website by the way. Does this require actionscript?
http://cmonato.myprimosite.com/tour/the-product/
Is there anyone that can direct me to a good, professional tutorial that I can use to learn to create these types of presentations using flash?
I know it will take some time to learn and develop and I'm willing to put in the time to learn. I just would like to learn from a professional tutorial and not some random, generic looking tutorial that doesn't really teach a thing.
If someone here can show me I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance and take care,
Les

The flash in the web site mentioned below has a few concepts that needs to be understood.
Considering that you are a newbie to flash, I think the best and most professional help for learning flash comes from adobe itself.
If you need to know what flash is capable of doing and how to get comfortable using flash professional, I suggest you visit this link
http://tv.adobe.com/product/flash/
If you want to directly jump into creating small animations and understanding the terminologies, I suggest you look into the following link
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-in-a-flash/episode-1/
If you want help using action script 2 or 3 I suggest you use search for adobe flash live docs in google. Its similar to MSDN, but its for Flash and action script.

Video presentation help

I have created a spokesperson video presentation using this
template:
Template
link (Adobe)
I have set cue points that work just fine for transitioning
from one slide to the next as triggered by the video at certain
points. I also want the animated text and graphics for each slide
to be triggered by cue points in the video, rather than being
timeline based as I've done them currently. I found some code that
I was told should work, but I've had no luck with it.
Also, as it is now, the video plays just fine when I test the
movie, and when it is exported (swf and html) on my local system,
but I understand I need to change the video link to point to a
streaming site where the vid is hosted or progressively downloaded.
I'm confused about how this should work, and how to host the video.
It is an .flv file (about 15Mb.)
I'm a relative newbie, so please don't assume I know
anything.
Thanks for any advice or assistance!

Redirecting URL after flash video ends , help?

Hi,
I created this flash video SWF here:
www.funduefoods.com (click
"Watch Our Chocolate Fountain Video!"). When the video ends my
client wants the page to be redirected to the Fountain page. Is
there a simple action script code for this? I know one way is to
embed the video into the timeline, then add a getURL code in the
last keyframe, but I would rather have the video be a progressive
download. Help???
Thanks

You could also add an event cuepoint to the end of the flv
and use a listener for that cuepoint and trigger the getURL that
way.
It's easy to do and examples are in the Flash Help. Search
'cuepoints'.
Note: Cuepoints inserted with something like After Effects
(the way I usually do it) have a greater accuracy than those added
with Actionscript alone. Info about that is also in the help
docs.

Flash video presentations

I've put together a number of multi-screen flash
presentations using stills and flash transitions and effect but I
have a 3-screen display to do which features full screen video on
each screen. I suppose the question is: Is Flash a viable way to
deliver at 800 x 600 30 fps high motion video or should I stick
with either DVD or some way to present 3 separate quicktime movies
simultaneously?
Flash works great on the 4-plasma screen display I have done
before, but that doesn't use video. Any thoughts? Much
appreciated.

I wonder... if some of the systems have Autoplay disabled? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-autoplay-settings#1TC=windows-7

Flash video dislocates - help!

Hi. I have a problem using the flash player. When i watch youtube videos, streams or games using flash the image often dislocates.
My standard web browser is Opera, but the problem occurs in other browsers too.
I have tried to uninstall and install the flash player and update my browser but it won't fix the problem.
Here are some pictures that illustrates my problem

What is your operating system?
Does it also occur if you disable Hardware Acceleration?
P.S. please post images directly here at the forum, using the camera icon.

How do you handle global security settings so everyone on the network can view a desktop app with flash video?

I have written a desktop application that allows a user to view a flash video presentation. I would like to put this application on a network drive so that everyone can view the presentation at their leisure. Is there any way to do this without having each each user enable the location in their global settings? Basically, if the location is not listed, then the video player I am using fails to play.
Thank you for you help in advance.

I figured it out.
It's under the pop-up window. Select edit locations to select confirm.

Interactive video presentation no flash

Hello everybody,
I am a Visualization Artist and I used to work long time ago doing website(I am a graphic designer too) I been aproached by an old client asking me to develop a "Interactive video presentation" of a product for Engineering purposes.
The final output should be Web and CD to be used a promotional media.
My first option was Flash but he questioned that because he want people that uses Ipad and other tables be able to see in a web interfase.
The main idea is play a short video demostrating the produc and funcionality, then the user should be able to stop and play repeat a chapter or jump to other charpter of the presentation.
I own Creative cloud and some 3D softwares so I think I should be fine software wise, but my question is if there is something New in Adobe that I can use instead of Flash to produce something like this?
Can I do everything at once or I need to prepare a video for Web in Flash an other for a CD and some App for tablets everything separated?
any gidance will be much apreciated.

This may not be the most efficient way to do this, but you could have the mouse click incriment a counter, and on the last frame of the loop have a statement basically saying if the counter is greater than 0, then play the second loop, and set up another mouse event to incriment a second counter if loop2 is playing, so on and so forth. Not exactly sure how you're planning to organize this, and what version of actionscript you plan on using so I can't really give you too much help in terms of the specific coding.

Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

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!

What you basically need to do is copy the sections of content from the code you show into the template (assuming the template already provides the <head> and <body> sections of the page. So in the head section of what you show, take everything starting with...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
all the way down thru...
</script>
, inclusive (in the head section only), and paste that into the head section of your template.
Similarly, take everything that lies between the <body> ... </body> tags (exclusive of the body tags) and paste it into the body section of your template wherever you plan to display the Flash file.

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
thanks

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.

Basic question about Flash video. Please Help

Hello,
Sorry for the noob question but I'm struggling with the basic
understanding about the Flash video.
I just need to reduce a large video file to a small size with
a nice quality and the Flash Video Encoder does very god job with
that. But when I double click the compressed .flv file it opens as
a blank screen in the stand alone player without playing any video.
I can use Dreamweaver to produce a web page playing the file, but I
don't need this file for posting it on a web page, I just want the
file smaller and to simply play it on my computer or send it to
others.
What is the way to do this?
I appreciate your help.

It sounds like you're not having problems with the actual
compression of the videos, just the playback, correct? All you need
is a standalone player that plays FLVs. Like Quicktime Player plays
MOVs, and Windows Media Player plays WMVs, you need something to
play the FLV files. There are many free options available. On a
mac, I use something called, strangely enough, SWF & FLV
Player. You can find it here:
http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html
Just do a search for FLV players and you should find
something appropriate. The only downside is you'll need to make
sure anyone you're distributing the videos to also has an FLV
player. If you're sending your files to just a few people, no big
deal. If this is for the public in general, you would want to embed
a Flash video player in an HTML page and send it like that.
Hope that helps.

Need Help with Flash Video

Hi, I have a template set up for a site with editable regions
for text. I have been trying to insert Flash Video Content, and
once I complete entering it in the popup window with settings, etc.
I get the following message "Making this change would required
changing code that is locked by a template or translator. The
change will be discarded." When I hit ok it disappears and the
video and code associated are nowhere on my page. What am I doing
wrong? Is there a setting to change in CSS templates to allow one
to insert Flash video?
Thanks for any help!

Also, you need to DISABLE the Flash detection when you insert
the video.
This is to prevent the insertion process from trying to write
that detection
call into the body tag of the child page, which is locked.

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Embedding Flash Video - Help needed!

I'm fairly new to Flash and trying to embed a video to my
website. When I import my video and test the movie, it works
perfectly, showing the controls at the bottom and everything. When
I add it to Dreamweaver and test the page, it only shows the video
(sans media controls) and automatically plays when the page is
loaded. What am I doing wrong??
I'd like to upload the flash video w/media controls beneath
it, to dreamweaver and it remain paused until the viewer hits the
play button.
Can anyone help?

Dreamweaver does not reflect full functionality, you need to
upload your stuff to
server or test in browser. Best way to make sure things
works.
If your HTML refer to the SWF in some directory, make sure
you have correct paths
to the player skin (the video controls).
