Flash Video - white box flashes, hide controls

Hi, I am working on a website for an artist
www.helmutnewtonladiesnight.com
when home.htm loads, a white box flashes (maybe
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf?) before the video starts playing. is
there a way to make this box black or invisible?
also, the artist doesn't want the controls to show at all. is
there a way to autoplay the video and hide the controls?
Thanks.

Of course, I meant to use #000000 in both of those sections.
The colors

How do you embed a Flash video into a Flash form

I am trying to embed a Flash video into a Flash form but the
form displays just fine however the video does not. I have tested
the Flash video with out the Flash form and works fine.

Take a look at CF_PIM
loading
swf files in flash cfforms

Flash text white box.

I am following Garrick Chow's Dreamweaver CS3 HOT. I am
unable to insert flash text into the training files as instructed.
When I follow the same instructions on a blank page that I have
made, it works fine.
What to do? My guess is there is some setting in the pages
that he has given us that prevents viewing this flash. I get the
same white box that YuriyKr describes. I have made the chapter that
we are working on a new site in the site set up box, and all of the
folders are green in my files list on the right. So, the flash I
create is in the correct place.
Now What?

Skip that section. Flash text is both an accessability and a
search engine
problem.
However, show us the page and someone will likely be able to
help you.

Flash Video Play Does NOT Display Controls

I am using Flash Pro 8 - putting FLV files in SWF files using
Flash Pro 8 and then "publishing" to Html and SWF to a location on
my hard drive.
When I display the webpage from my Hard Drive from where ever
on my hard drive I initially published to from Flash 8 Pro -
everything works fine - videos play and video control bar shows and
works.
When I publish this website to web server the video displays
and plays but NO Video Controller Bar (at bottom of the video)
shows at all.
Symptom: when I make an Html, SWF and FLA file into a folder
on my hard drive and display them in the browser the video control
bar shows. When I copy those three files into the hard drive
website in FrontPage, the video shows but the video control bar
does not.
So, I re-made the Html, SWF, and FLA files and put them
directly into the FrontPage website (on my hard drive) then
everything works fine when I use broswer (IE 6 or Firefox). z
But, when I publish the hard drive website to the remote
website hosting company, the video control bar disappears -
everything else works fine (video shows OK just no video controller
bar.)
My guess is that the SWF file has a non-relative URL
reference concerning the video control bar and when the three files
(Html, SWF and FLA) are moved to new location then that
non-relative address rears its head.
I should NOT publish from Flash 8 Pro directly to remote
webserver as it has FrontPage Extensions and does not like to talk
to FTP changes to website not coming from FrontPage client.
is my guess right? What to do?????

Did you upload the skin swf file to your server also? That is
a common missed step.

Playing a flash video in my flash website

Hi there.
I'm using this media player called JW which loads in html
http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
I've made my website in Flash AS2 and at the moment the only
way I can get videos to play in JW is by having a new page open
when the button is clicked. The html code for the video in that new
page. This makes you navigate away from my site. I'd like it so
that the player loads inside my site when the button is clicked.
So I'm guessing a popup that loads the player and takes the
all the attention until its clsoed But im not sure how to do this
in Flash.
any help is appreciated
thanks
Jamie

Check to be sure that you have the correct Flash plugin
installed. You obvioiusly have the correct activeX control
installed.

A Flash Video Server and Flash Security

We are using Flix and Squeeze to create new Flash 8 SWF
movies from our AVI files. Short 1 - 2 minute tutorials.
We would like to be able to save them on our server and allow
different websites to add a custom Flash Player to their site and
watch these videos from their pages. The player gets an XML
playlist of up to 50 videos and we would like to be able to play
one or more of the movies on the webpage of our partner.
However, this seems to cause (2) security violations in the
Flash 8 environment. We need to add a crossdomain.xml file on our
server to allow other sites to access our swf files, and
apparantly, we also need to use actionscript
System.security.allowDomain() to allow the parent SWF player to
control the video in the player (stop, start, pause, etc.).
Does anyone know more about this situation? How can we add
the allowDomain() to an SWF created by Flix or Squeeze, or is there
another way to communicate the allowDomain(). Can we pass anything
in the XML itself, does it have to be in the SWF.
In Flash 8, every SWF must communicate the allowDomain(). In
earlier versions of Flash, only one SWF needed to open the sandbox
for any other SWFs from that domain.
Did we misunderstand the requirement? Our Flash developer
can't figure out a way to make this happen, but I am sure others
have been able to make it work. Otherwise, how can any of the Flash
hosting companies allow these movies to be downloaded off of their
sites.
Any advice would be appreciated...

Hello Thanks for reply,
Its many to many chat and every one can speak and listen. There may be 10-12 users in a room at a time and also the number room can be several.
So what type of server I should take. Some delay is acceptable.

Merge Flash Player Skin with Flash Video for Single Flash File

My company uses a content management system for it's website and I am the administrator. The CMS does not require or use html code. I am a new to Flash, but I am able to produce some simple files. I have compiled a simple 2 minute video clip that I need to upload to my companies website. The Flash file requires a player skin which I was able to produce. I understand that when you output to Flash, two files are created. As I understand it, one file is for the skin and the other is for the movie along with the html code that links the two. Unfortunately, our content management system does not recognize the link between these two sets of files and I am unable to import them. I can import the flash movie clip without the player, but that does not suit my needs. I can import the player skin without the movie, but there would be no point. Is there a way to output both files into a single Flash file with the player skin embedded into the Flash movie? I have the full Adobe Master Suite CS4, is it possible another program could be used for that purpose or is this an impossibility? Any information you could provide would be appreciated...thanks...

How to use embed code to insert my flash video from web host whilst keeping my player buttons?

I have created a flash 8 video. It consists of the video.swf
video.flv and skin.swf
When i try to embed it into a remote webpage, the video
player buttons do not show.
How do i enable my webpage of flash video to show the player
controls on a remote webpage using an embed code?

Reece,

If you chose FVSS, that means you're using a Flash Video
Streaming
Service and not just uploading video to your own server.
> So my skin.flv file currently has to be in the same
folder

You can put the skin wherever you like. All that matters is
that you
correctly path to it from the point of view of the HTML page
that holds your
SWF (the SWF that holds the FLVPlayback instance that uses
this skin).
> I need it to allow my skin.flv file to be in the same
folder
> as my vido.swf and video.flv files.
You're uploading your video files to a Flash Video Streaming
Service,
which I haven't done personally, so I don't know what
requirements this
service places on you. Regardless, the location of the skin
SWF file makes
no difference. In the FLA that contains your FLVPlayback
instance, select
that instance and look at the Parameters tab of the Propery
inspector. In
the skin parameter, double click the cell to the right of
that and enter the
path to the skin SWF. It can be absolute (full domain name
and filepath) or
relative. If it's relative, pretend it's the HTML file
looking for that
skin, instead of this SWF file.

Problems with box flashing behind menu

I have a problem with the horizontal menu in IE. When you
mouse over a button that has a sub menu a white box flashes behind
the menu. I can not figure out why.
Here is the web site: www.hopelcms.com

I see that your still using Spry 1.4. Perhaps update to the
most current version : 1.6.1

Flash video not reporting when finsihed

Using a flash video object in Flash 9 via netStream off my
local hard drive I am finding when my long video reaches the end I
don't get the expected NetSream.Play.Stop. I just get this from the
netStream.onStatus at the end of the video
status : NetStream.Buffer.Full
status : NetStream.Buffer.Empty
status : NetStream.Buffer.Full
If I make a 10 second version of the video I do get the
expected NetSream.Play.Stop. I am using On2 VP6 and have tried it
as CBR and VBR bit rates.
Oddly enough as I switched to this web site to type this and
the flash movie was overwritten by the browser I suddenly got the
NetSream.Play.Stop! WTF is going on with this video object, it used
to do this in Flash 8, you'd think the boys at Adobe would have
made this system work better by now?
Any thoughts on how to deal with a unreliable video system?

Flash Video Without Flash

Is there a way to create Flash video without buying Flash? Is
there video
editing software that will export to this format or a utility
that will
convert to this format?
We want to do flash video and only flash video and would
prefer not to spend
the money for the Flash software when we don't want or need
to use it for
anything else. It would make more sense to buy video editing
software that
we could use for making videos and then export to swf format.

Hello Brandon.....
I think a number of video editing software packages can
produce FLVs..
The main one I know of is Sorenson Squeeze alternatively try
looking for FLV compression, FLV Creation or FLV editing in Google.
Sothink Flash Video Encoder can also covert to FLV from avi,
wmv filel types
www.videodl.org will allow you to take YouTube and google
video and covert them to FLV.
Hope some of this helps.

Flash video path not working on Mac

Using the Flash Video component in Flash 8 I place my .flv in
a directory called Video and then enter the path into the component
as
Video\myvideo.flv
When it runs off my web site on Windows XP all is well but on
a Mac OS X it fails to play. If I place the video in the route on
the web server and alter the file path to just myvideo.flv it
works!
So is there a special symbol I need to use for the file
seperator to make it work correctly on both platforms?

Hi, Make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is Enabled for one thing. I'm not familiar with Webcams so can't help you with that.
If you have Installed Flash Player then test at this site to see if you can see the animation of the Flash logo and what version is listed.

Flash Video Buffer Detect

I'm making standalone flash cd presentation In Flash 8 which
includes Flash
video. Flash video is displayed with Media - Player 6 - 7
component
"Display" called "myDisplay". I've made buttons on stage
which when pressed
make Flash video to go to a specific time (frame) using the:
_root.myDisplay.play(X); where X is number.
This method activated from cd (or form hard drive) is
painfully SLOW if the
jump time is closer to the end of the Flash video because the
flash is
buffering all the frames prior to the frame which is jumped
to: so if i go
to the end of the movie, flash buffers all previous fames!
How can i display (or retrieve) information from the
myDisplay if the Flash
Video is in buffer mode? Has it something to do with
"scrubbing" or
"playheadChange" actions?
Thanks
Luka

f I take the "detect" off of the publish parameters
everything works fine in the .FLV
Add the detect, the sound stays but no video.
Using Mac, Flash Pro 8.
Check for Flash version 6 or 7, video is history.
What's going on, I never had this problem before?

Run Flash Video Conference in HTML

Hi! I am newbie in Flash Communication Server... How do I run
the Video Conference in HTML? I tested it at the website but it is
not connected...

Flash MX is really out of date.
I think it would be advisable to learn AS3 and perhaps have a good reference book available... can't really advise that one is better than another. But Flash AS3 is a very broad topic... if your goal is very focused..Flash Video Conferencing, then you may want to rely more on on-line resources, Forums, and reference material.

Converting to flash video produces a single fine line

Hi
I export a video as a self-contained quicktime movie (1 min long) from FCP 5 and then use Sorensen Squeeze to convert it to a .flv (flash video) - the resulting flash video looks great except there is always (not the entire way through - usually in a couple of scenes) the occurrence of either a vertical or horizontal line (just a single one usually) on the video. It's subtle, but NOT good! It doesnt look like an interlacing issue as it is just the one line!
The video was de-interlaced in FCP ( upper field ) and I am choosing OnVP6 Flash video - and have tried numerous settings.
Anyone know how i stop these annoying lines?
Thx

Have you examined the area affected to see if it has excessive chroma or is too brite/dark?
