Hi!
I am trying really hard to do what you are trying to get rid of!
I am new to iWeb and know very little about what coding is, but am trying to get this to happen...
1) have "welcome" page automatically play a very short 2 or 3 second full screen video (heavily compressed I guess?)
2) As soon as the video ends, the actual, static, welcome screen opens / shows itself.
That's it!
But I have no idea as to how to make it happen. Can I copy and paste the code you have in your message? I would really, really appreciate any and all help you can offer.
Thanks!

  • How to make Flash Video player look good?

    I put the FLVPlayback component on my stage to stream some video.  It's looks rather bland with a white background and no border and I'd like to make the component look better.  Does anyone have any recommendations or examples for improving the look of the video player?

    you can use google to search for tutorials on skinning the component.

  • Flash Video Looks great when i play localy but is very grainy when played from a server

    What could be going on that would cause my flash video to look terriable when played off a server, but look great when played localy?
    the clip is encoded in f4v and is about 3 min long, when i test it i use the same html file and browser,  the only thing that changes is, local vs server

    here is a link to the clip   the issue really stands out at about 19 sec into the clip where there are some animated lines that flow around http://www.autical.net/saver/
    below i added screen shots the top one is the local and the bottom one is the server
    i guess i used the term grainy incorrectly,  i should have said blocky

  • Squashed Flash Video in iWeb

    This is a stumper and I could really use a freah perspective on it. 
    I have been trying to get a Flash movie on my iWeb site bu using the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site here...
    http://iwebunlimited.com/iweb-tips/iweb-tip-9-flash-video-in-iweb-jw-player/
    The problem I have is that when I publish my changes in iWeb and point my browser to the page the movie is on, the movie plays as a litttle squashed box in the middle of the player.  Let me explain...
    I followed the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site to the letter.  I have downloaded the .swf and .js files, placed them in a folder called "flash" on my iDisk as well as my .flv movie file and a screengrab of the same size.
    I have changed all the parameters in the HTML code to point to my iDisk and the relavent files.
    I have changed the video dimensions to that of my newly encoded .flv video  (640 x 352 - in ffmpegx)
    When I go to my movie page in my browser, I see the still shot I took as a place marker in the right dimensions.  Yet when I play the movie, although the player is the size I requested - 640 x 352 - the actual movie plays inside it as a squashed box.  Take a look at the screenshot below to see what I mean.
    The video should fill the black areas, but whatever I do this is the result...
    Here is the info on the flash video I uploaded to my iDisk and how is should look...
    And here is the HTML code with the same dimensions input in iWeb before I published.  I have changed my username back to "username" for this screenshot FYI...
    The weird thing is - I uploaded a flash movie a couple of years ago to the same page and it plays ok - looks fine.  Shame I can't remember how the **** I did it!  I wondered if having 2 flash movies on the same page were causing the problem, so I deleted the old one.
    Same result.
    I created a new fresh movie page and tried that - same result again.
    I thought that maybe each movie needed it's own set of .swf and .js files as the 2 movies are of different dimensions, each player would need to be different dimensions also....?
    So I even added another set of .swf and .js files.  I tried copying the 2 sets of movie files to individual folders, but iWeb didn't see them at all - it only seems to see them is they are in a folder called "flash" in my "Web >Sites" folders on my iDisk.
    I was wondering even if it was down to the encoding of the video, which I did in ffmpegx.  I did have to do it in a roundabout way...
    In Final Cut Pro I exported a full quality QT movie - ProRes422 1280 x 720 that turned out at 5.32 GB and 12 mins 5 secs in duration.
    This is not recognised by ffmgegx, looks like the ProRes codec has it confused.
    So I put it into Compressor and re-encoded it as a H.264 movie 1280 x 720 that turned out at 1.72 GB.
    When I put this into ffmgegx it encoded just fine, but stopped after 7 mins and 7 secs.
    I tried a hundred different ways but it always stopped at 7m7s...
    So I eventually dropped it onto a droplet I downloaded somewhere to convert videos for Vimeo HD  - 1280 x 720.  I dropped this into ffmpegx and Hey Presto - it worked!
    So I now have my full length .flv movie at my 640 x 352 on my iDisk with iWeb pointing at it and the correct dimensions input in the HTML code, and it STILL comes out squashed....
    if anyone has a clus what is causing this or what I am doing wrong, I will be forever in your debt! 
    I know this is an epic mail, but I wanted to give all the info I can......

    If you are using a SWF or FLV you don't need to use the JW player assets. Just reference the file in an iFrame code....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flash-SWF-FLV.html
    Adjust the dimensions of the frame to fit the movie and control bar if necessary.
    This page shows the JW using the embed code and the javascript version...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
    If you want to us the JW player using the javascript shown on the iWeb unlimited site, you need to adjust the player frame dimensions to suit the control bar position that you specified. I notice that this website doesn't mention the fact that the control bar position can be changed - normally "bottom" or "over". If you set the control bar to "bottom", the frame height needs to be increased. Also the javascript shown is not the latest one where you can specify all the custom options.
    If you use the javascript that I employed for the second example on the iWeb for Musicians site, you can do a lot of customizing and specify flash with fallback to HTML5 or vice versa.

  • Flash videos playing weirdly in firefox - malformed

    I have had this problem for a long time, running through all versions of Firefox 3 (including the latest 3.5 preview releases).
    I am updated to the latest version of Flash, and am running Windows XP (also fully up to date).
    All flash videos play fine in IE8.
    On some sites, while videos are playing, the picture flicks quickly between a normal picture and the effect shown in the screenshot - the usual image tiny, with weird blurred lines around it. This continues through the whole video, flicking very rapidly, and making the video effectively unwatchable. The effect remains even when the video is paused. I've attached screenshots below which should make the nature of the distortion clear.
    I have experienced the problem most on Youtube (as I use this more than other video sites). The only other site I have noted the problem on is facebook video. Metacafe, Google Videos, Dailymotion, Vimeo and BBC iPlayer did not exhibit any distortion.
    On Youtube, it is sometimes possible to play videos properly by switching to high quality, but usually it does the same thing, but flicking to a much larger picture, so it only seems to be blurry around the very edges.
    I should also mention that embedded YouTube videos play fine on other pages.
    My computer is pretty old - with an AMD Athlon Processor 996 MHz and 752 MB of RAM - but definitely has the capacity to play these videos, as it manages on Internet Explorer.
    I created a thread on the firefox support forums before I came here - not much progress was made, but I should mention a few details of the only other reported case of this problem.
    "Matt" seems to be experiencing the same problem on Firefox, also with a pretty old computer, but on Windows 2000, not XP. He reports the same problem on Opera also on his computer; I haven't tested this on my system.
    Personally, I am at a complete loss with this problem - I have no idea how it can be caused, or fixed, and it's a major obstacle to casual web browsing. (I have to load Internet Explorer just to watch a youtube video!)
    I really hope someone is able to shed some light on this issue; please ask if you would like any more details on my system.
    Thanks.
    (Ben)

    Hello all,
    Yes to follow up Ben, I'm experiencing the exact same problems as him. I changed browser to Firefox 3.0.11 a couple of months ago and hence downloaded the Flash plugin for Firefox. I noticed the issue straight away in Youtube, but not on other sites. As I attributed the problem to Firefox, I then downloaded Opera 9.64 - but experienced the same problem. This led me to believe the issue was the Flash plugin, as both browsers are served by the same Adobe plugin for 'alternative browsers' to IE.
    I then tried IE6 again in youtube and it didn't have the problem on standard view, however the problem was (and still is) occurring in full screen view. I'm nearly 100% sure this problem didn't occur before I downloaded the Flash plugin for Firefox / Opera. Regardless of whether that is the issue, the problem was definitely not happening on my system in IE6 earlier this year.
    As Ben said, my computer is fairly old but well managed and up to date. OS is Windows 2000 SP4, system is AMD Athlon 900 (slot A), 512 Mb RAM, 16Mb Voodoo 3 graphics, m/board MSI MS-6191.
    I've also tried removing the Flash plugin for Firefox/Opera and for IE6 and reinstalling it but had no joy there either. I would try an updated version of IE too but IE6 is the last version compatible with Win 2k.
    Any help appreciated, 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

  • Flash video looks poor quality in swf

    I have a flash video .flv the quality is fine then I embed
    this in a swf file a export it to a movie. When I watch the swf the
    video quality is greatly reduced. I have tried allsorts to fix it.
    Seems to be the swf that causes the problem no matter how good the
    quality of the flv that goes into it the swf reduces the quality.
    The files size of the swf is the same as the flv going into it.
    Please can anyone help

    I have the same problem on my laptop since few months, it's really annoying.
    Did you find a solution after all? Or anyone else has a solution?
    PS: I use a Asus n55sf, with a geforce gt55m.

  • How to use HTML Video for iPad in iWeb

    I agree with all the advantages of HTML Video. How do you use html video on your iweb site?
    I want my iWeb site video to be viewable on iPads.
    I have learned the technique to use the HTML Snippet tool in iWeb to successfully post Flash video. I created all of my animations using Kenote's keyframe ability and have exported them to Quicktime and then have converted them into flash with Vertical Moon's Video to SWF. Then simply upload the SWF file to a folder on your idisk, then use the Flash Video insert HTML Snippet and insert the idisk url of the SWF file and you are done. What is the technique for HTML Video?
    I have found some HTML video encoders, here are the links:
    http://www.projekktor.com/ the technique is not clear to me and appears complicated.
    http://www.brightcove.com/en/ this one is way too expensive at $99 a month.
    http://jilion.com/sublime/video this one looks great but is not yet available and I am guessing it is a converter that will make your iMovie Quicktime into HTML Video.
    I have all of the i-Apps and Final Cut Express (2 revs out of date). Can I get the proper HTML video file from these programs, unless I am missing something I don't think so.
    Most people do not believe I made my site completely with Keynote and iWeb but here it is. http//www.falcon-pacific.com
    Thank You Very Much for considering my question. I will put the results on my iWeb site and the exact procedure and acknowledge all the sources of the solution.

    I want my iWeb site video to be viewable on iPads.
    Your videos ARE viewable on a iPad. No need for explicit HTML video coding.
    If you export your movies to iPhone that's all there is to do. You can do it in QT Pro/iMovie
    And HTML Video is a HTML code, not the movie itself :
    <video width="480" height="270" src="movie.m4v" controls></video>
    I use the iPad simulator in the SDK :

  • Flash video artifacts when using discrete graphics

    So I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with Intel and ATI graphics. When watching flash video (YouTube), I have weird artifacting going on when using just discrete graphics. While using Intel graphics, the video usually plays fine, just a little choppy. I am using gfxCardStatus to switch between them. Is this a flash bug or something else? I've added an image to show what I'm talking about.

    I don't see any evidence that you used Dreamweaver to insert
    the
    player. Normally, when you insert Flash with Dreamweaver, it
    inserts
    code I can readily identify. Did you use GoLive?
    The pages you show are consipicuously missing the
    <object> code and
    the JavaScript that DW uses.
    And I don't see any differences in the players. The pages
    both link to
    files named flvplayer.swf (in different folders) with the
    same look and
    the same file size. I am late in this thread, so maybe I
    missed the
    boat.
    Anyway, I don't know if this would make a difference with
    that player,
    but one page uses a relative link to the .flv, while the
    other page
    uses an absolute link, including
    http://. See if changing that one to a
    relative link helps.
    I only watched about a minute from both pages and, although
    872 Kpbs
    for the video track is VERY high, I did not see any glitches.
    (Did you mean to use two slashes in the second link?)

  • Need flash video jukebox

    I would really like some help finding a flash video jukebox. Would like a player with either a list on the side or images and descriptions on the side so that viewers can pick which video they want to watch. I have about 5-10 movies on my site, in Flash, that I want viewers to be able to see in whatever order they choose, they may decide to only view one or two then move on. I originally loaded all of the flash videos and their respective players on to one page, but the downlaod time was horrible. And I would like something slicker that a page full of players.
    Any help would be appreciated. If I get what I want I would be happy to post it somewhere for others to download.
    Steve

    No. This page has some that might work. http://3d2f.com/tags/jukebox/flash/. Jalbum supposedly has a template like a flash slide grid that will handle videos.
    The only other suggestion I can think of is to create an iPhoto album with your videos and use that to create a MobileMe gallery containing your videos. That would very easy to do and could be embedded into an iWeb page like in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries. The example is set to go directly to the mosaic mode. If you click on the Grid button at the bottom you'll see what it would look like. Just think of each photo as a video.
    If you have other MMe galleries that you don't want connected to the video one just use the Advanced Settings pane to isolate the gallery from the others.

  • Firefox is having trouble with flash video.

    When I watch flash video (usually Youtube), the video would play normally for a while. But then the picture would look weird and it would be impossible to watch. The only way to fix this is to restart the computer. This doesn't happen when I switch the browser to internet explorer.
    Here is a picture of a video under the influence

  • Video glitch in Exported QT and Flash video pieces

    Hello, I am having a strange problem with my playback of exported videos. Currently I am exporting out video for website use both Highband and Lowband. For my highband I export out video using quicktime conversion. In QT conversion I use Flix Flash FLV Export which I bought extra to be able to make flash videos. For my lowband videos I use QT conversion and H.264 format. The videos that I export have a weird glitch in both High and Low bandwidth attempts and at the same spots in the video. What happens is the video jumps backward a frame or two and the audio is all off from there on. Well any help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   FCP HD

    The videos that I export have a weird glitch in both High and Low bandwidth attempts and at the same spots in the video. What happens is the video jumps backward a frame or two and the audio is all off from there on
    Have you looked at those spots in the original project timeline to verify that there is nothing strange going on at the trouble spots? Is there anything "different" about either your audio or video files in those spots?
    eg. are all the audio files in your project 48Khz?
    If you export a simple QT movie with no compression or conversions do you get the same problem? If not, then try using that export as your "master" and convert/compress it to what you need.

  • Help..Flash Videos work for Chrome/IE but NOT Firefox

    So I cannot see some flash videos on Firefox (like sites CNet & Disney do not work) which use flash. It does work on Chrome & IE.
    1. ALL Programs are the newest/latest versions.
    2. I removed and downloaded all programs- restarted the computer after each download.
    3. I have the latest Flash (according to the website) when I view the Adobe Flash Website on Firefox.
    I don't know why some flash videos work...and some do not.
    I am running Vista. All my programs are legit...and I do have McAfee running..I don't download porn, no viruses etc..  Anyone have advice?!!  

    ok ok
    I disabled firewall which - for some weird reason- allow it to play in Firefox. Videos played in IE & Chrome- but not in Firefox, until I disabled Firewall..weird.
