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.

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

Adding extra functions to flash video skin

Is it possible to add an email button or link to a custom
flash video skin, and script it so it only appears at the
conclusion of the video?

Answer: You can add your movieClip or button to FLVPlayBack

uFlvPlayer.addChild(PlayTime_txt);
It works in FullScreen mode now.

Flash Video Skin Not Loading in Firefox

Hello everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with a Flash
Video file. I'm helping a friend out by doing some work on his
webpage. He had a video that he wanted to put up on his news page,
so I converted the video to an flv and used the flv player
component to make a video player linked it. I uploaded the skin's
swf file, the player's swf file, and the flv to the same directory.
I made an iframe pointing to the player.swf file in the news
section of the site. I tested it in IE; it works like a charm.
Video loads, skin loads, and it plays etc... but in any version of
firefox, only the video loads and just sits there (autoplay is
off). What can the problem be? Link : (should work in IE, not
FIREFOX

Once you can recover from the reporter's amusing slack-jawed mug,
please help me out!

Actually, this occurred to me later this afternoon, but I use Gentoo, which normally builds from source (cuz I am hardcore like that). I uninstalled the normal build and reinstalled the prebuilt binary and everything works. I am happy again and just need to play around with the source build options, which I can do later.
Thanks!

Flash video skins

Are there any plug ins I can use to add more options to the skins that are currently available in CS3? I need a skin that displays UNDER the video, not on top of it and with timing and video length. I am not a programmer, I'm just inserting flash videos into webpages and am stuck with the choices that dreamweaver cs3 provides, non of which is what I need. Please help me!

DW's skin choices are limited because it's not a Flash application. If you're good with Action Script, you could build your own custom player in Flash or you could use any of the pre-built Flash players on the web.

Flash video skin controls not appearing on web page

Hi
I have a puzzle. I have some test movie clips that are
operated (played) by pressing a thumbnail. All works ok in the
resultinmg html and flash file that is produced, but when I import
the flash movi into DW, the controls disappear, but the movie
plays...

controls in operation OK
http://www.chrisleslie.co.uk/new/flash/8movietest.html
but when the flash doc is inserted into the actual page the
controls disappear......
http://www.chrisleslie.co.uk/new/Film.htm
(press thumbnail 2 to play the test movie)
any ideas would be greatly received...im at a loss here and
heading for the vodka.......

I have a similar problem. I have an FLV which sits inside my flash movie. It works fine when previewing it within the flash viewer.
But when embedding the flash movie into a html page - the controls magically disappear!
Now i have tried copying the skin to EVERY SINGLE LOCATION WITHIN MY FOLDER STRUCTURE...but it still does not display.
Any more suggestions??

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.

How do I specify where a skin is located when publishing a Flash Video?

I'm creating Flash video's using the Import/Video wizard.
When I go to publish the video, I want the HTML file located in a
different (parent) directory from all the other video files, so
that all my HTML files for the site are in the root directory. The
problem is when I change the publish settings to create the HTML in
a different location, the video works properly but it doesn't find
where the skin is located and the skin doesn't show up. I thought
it would be simple to just change the HTML code to point to where
the skin is but I can't locate any references to the skin (name or
location) in any of the HTML code. How do I change the code to
accurately reflect where the skin is located???
thanks for any responses.

Select the FLV Playback component instance, change skin
parameter at components inspector or parameters tab on property
inspector, select "Custom Skin URL" for the skin option, and set
the path of your player skin relative to your html.
e.g.
your html file located at web root directory, all swf files
located in a subfolder named 'swf', so if you are using the skin
ArcticOverAll.swf, type in the URL field:
swf/ArcticOverAll.swf
Alternatively, you can also type the full path of your skin
file on your web server.
e.g.
http://www.yourwebsite.com/somefolder/swf/ArcticOverAll.swf

Flash 8 Video Switch Issue

I have a user with a dual monitor setup, and whenever he
plays a flash media file, both screens go blank for a moment, then
the left screen switches to 640x480, and the right monitor stays in
its configured rez (1280x1024). Prior to running the flash file,
the left screen also was in 1280x1024, and once the flash file is
terminated, both screens go blank for a moment, and the left screen
reverts to 1280x1024. If I drag the flash file window into the
right screen, it looks normal on that display and vice versa when
back on the left screen except its at 640x480. I've tried
uninstalling/reinstalling the complete Flash 8 package, no change.
This is driving my user mad.. What can I do to remedy this?

Can you resize Video Skins in Flash CS3

I am inserting a Flash Video into a file and trying to
include the automatic skin from the import dialogue box. If I have
a small video (say around 180 pixels wide), the skin juts out
obtrusively off to the sides. Is there a way to manage the size of
the skin?

I don't know about about as3 versions but the as2 versions
can have a minimum width which I think from memory is defined in
the skin file itself.
You could make your own skin by copying one of the existing
skin flas and changing it to suit , including the line of code that
specifies the minimum width.

More Flash Video controller skins

I use DW CS3. I'm a very basic-level user doing business
sites/pages and need to get things moving fast. I'm not much into
HTML coding.
I love the fact that when I have a page in DW it's simple to
choose "Insert - Media - Flash Video..." and I get the list of
choices for the file to insert and the dropdown of built-in
players/skins to use. I typically create 640x480 videos and I
typically choose the last one in the list: Halo 3. I always just
choose "Detect Size" and that's it.
However, I really need to add "current time" and "total time"
indicators ("Min:Sec" format) so viewers will know the time they're
in for and so I can have advisors comment on particular sections in
the content of given videos.
I really, really, REALLY want to end up with the same
luxuriously simple functionality that I have now with the current
built-in choice: Just choose it from the drop-down, choose "Detect
Size" and be done with it and move on.
I'd also really like to stay with the generally minimalistic,
clean, sleek, professional look that the Halo skin provides (well,
it's very similar to the typical YouTube skin for that matter).
And I'd really like for it to be truly debugged and 100%
reliable, functional, and compatible with the DW CS3 program.
I'm happy to pay to buy what I'm after.
(Note: If it just can't be done and doesn't exist, then
please guide me to the simplest path for achieving the closest
thing to this by placing HTML code and files in folders as needed
-- or anything else you can suggest.)
Thanks!

>>I'm not much into HTML coding.
Then DW isn't going to be of much use to you.

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

How to embed Flash video and control skin using HTML?

I am trying to use HTML to embed a flash video, however I encounter the following errors:
Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="
Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinOverPlaySeekStop.swf"]
Here is my HTML code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
     width="640" height="480" >
     <param name="movie" value="Content/example.swf">
     <param name="quality" value="high">
     <param name="play" value="true">
     <param name="loop" value="false">
     <embed src="Content/example.swf" width="640" height="480" play="false" loop="false" quality="high"></embed>
</OBJECT>
Whenever I open the page I'll get a popup window with the above errors and once I click "continue" it will go ahead and play the video, but without the control skin. Can anyone tell me how to get the skin to show up?

I found a solution at this thread. Basically, you just have to move your skin file (ie. SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf) to the same directory as your index.html file.
doghouseJim, thanks for the link. Although I didn't have to use swfobject in this case it is still good to know. Also, I didn't know that Flash can generate the HTML. This is a quick and easy way to see the video in a web browser and if you're using Firefox you can go to View > Page Source to see the code. If you just want to see the HTML, then all you have to do is go to File > Publish Preview > HTML and it will open a web browser where you can view the page source.
