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.

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
component, like i did.
uFlvPlayer.addChild(PlayTime_txt);
It works in FullScreen mode now. -
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?
ThanksYes. 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.

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
Here .
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! -
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.

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...
if you look at the link below you can see the flash movie
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.......hi,
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?? -
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 -
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.

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. -
I'm wanting to upload a Flash video that I've made with a
skin and need to know if I can upload the files to a web server
without putting the video into Dreamweaver.
The files that I currently have are in one folder:
SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf
Melting Discoveries.flv
melt test.swf
melt test.html
AC_RunActiveContent.js
I was thinking I could upload these and open the .html url to
play the video, but that is failing.
If anyone has tips or a link to send me to I'd appreciate it.
LukeSelect the FLVPlayer component on the stage. Open the Component Inspector window. In the Parameters tab the Content Path will be the fifth item down the list. Alternately, in versions before CS4, you can use the Parameters tab in the Properties window and find the same Content Path.

Flash Video - Bug in HALO Skin ???
Hallo,
i think i found a Bug in the Dreamweaver MX 2004 PLugin
(Flash Video) and i think in Dreamweaver 8 (TRAIL) it looks like
the same. When i put some fine Video Content (FLV) in a HTML Doc.
by using the Flash Video Button. I saw that by using the HALO Skin
my Video was cropped in wrong ways, but in the other Skins (Clear
and Corona) everything was OK.
Did anyone have the same trouble ?
Kind Regards - Rouven KastenI don't understand the difference either. The HALO page
layout would not
affect the appearance of inserted media.

Hello. I'm trying my first Flash Video insertion..all is well
except I'd really like to be able to tell anyone viewing the page
to please hang on and wait during the buffer period on the
progressive download. it takes anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds for
the player skin to appear and start playing the video.. I have
previously been using embedded WMP which seems to have an advantage
in this department since the player skin would immediately appear
and display a buffering video % which would let anyone viewing the
page know that the video is downloading and is about to play. With
the flash they have no idea and the page appears not to be working
for a "long" time (5 to 20 seconds) since not even the skin
appears. Is there a way to improve these faults? My video is about
3 minutes long and can be found here.

thanks ahead of time for any advice! -KeithIt took about 8 seconds for me. Not too bad at all.
