FLV and SWF

I have 5 SWF files (each is apprx. 5 minutes long). I have
the ablilty to convert them to flv files.
The problem I am having is that it takes too long to load.
you can see here:
LINK
"Part 1" is the only one working right now.
My question is twofold: How do I make it load faster? Should
I used a flv (which i really know nothing about) instead?[

I'm confused. If the video is from a nightly news cast, how
are they in swf format (as you said in your first post)? They
should already be in an avi, flv, mov, etc format - not swf. How
did you get them - where? You don't need to convert them from video
to Flash. They should be in flv format by converting them using
Adobe's Flash to Video converter (that's if they are truly in swf
format).
You don't need to "install" an flv file - actually you
wouldn't install it, but import it into a flash document, but you
don't even need to do that. You should use the netStream Class.
Refer to another post of mine
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=194&threadid =1384971&highlight_key=y&keyword1=netStream
to get a better understanding. If you search in Flash's help, they
even give you an example on how to utilize a preloader for
this.

The video would have whatever size it is encoded as, and then the player could display that at whatever size it desired.

FLV and SWF Joining and Resizing - Help?!?!

Greets,
My wife is a copy writer, and as part of her portfolio, she has to go and capture the end result once it has been shot. In the current perplexing case, a web site has a small speaking host who will occasionally point to the right at an animation. The host is on the site as a FLV and the animation is a SWF. I guess it makes sense for them, but it certainly seems like they could have gone the extra mile to make it one file.
Anyway, I have captured the FLV and the SWF, but am having a VERY hard time combining them, even after reencoding both into AVI. For the most part, they are very different dimensions, and when all is said and done, the result is blocky probably because the exported dimensions are too big.
My main problem is that the video size is set at the time you set up a project, and no amount of trial and error on my part has allowed me to figure out what to set that to.
Any help on any of this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there any option to get source materials from the host? Do you have a link to this site so we can take a look?

Controlling FLV and SWF scrubbing at the same time

I have a flash project with an imported swf animation and an
imported flv video. So far I have made a play and pause button that
can play and pause both objects at the same time. Is there way to
make a scrub bar that can control scrubbing through both objects at
the same time.
The FLV and the SWF are the same length and all the
animations in the SWF file are timed to a separate audio file from
the flv I am using so when the flash file is play without any
controls, the swf and the flv play n sync. I have been able to make
separate scrub bars that control the video and the swf separately
but when ever I try to combine the code it does not seem to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this starting from
scratch?
for reference:
my video instance name is : myVideo
my swf instance name is: mySwf

Ngarraud,
Try this:
*Multicast Rate / Transmit Power*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Airport" from the toolbar at the top.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
Click the "Wireless Options..." button.
Check the setting for "Multicast Rate".
This setting controls the range at which you allow devices to access your network. Lower is better if you want access throughout the house. But this setting won't improve speed. Tesserax has a nice explanation of this setting in the following quote:
+"The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.+ [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6736587]
Next, verify that your "Transmit Power: is set to 100%.
*Interference Robustness / Use Wide Channels*
Finally, ensure that "Interference Robustness" is checked (For certain network configurations this setting will say "Use Wide Channels. Verify that it is checked nonetheless.)
Help Doc states: +"You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station or Time Capsule. To help minimize interference, turn on interference robustness."+
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

After Effects CC 2014 - removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters - WHY !?

While reading the features of AfterEffects CC2014, I noticed the following:
"removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters from After Effects"
THAT IS IS REDICULOUS!!
NO FLV !?!?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT USERS TO IMPORT INTO FLASH ??
IF no FLV export is available under After Effects CC 2014, there is NO WAY to EMBED an flv into flash !! (Linking is NOT always what is wanted!!)
NO H264 !?!?!
HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ?!!?!?
YOU BREAK WORKFLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS REDICULOUS!!!
Any chance of restoring such features so that it makes updating to it worthwhile ?

To date I've primarily been a Photoshop user and have dealt with years of mystifying UX and workflow changes, features that are useless to me added, and critical ones taken away (I'm looking at you Bridge, you worthless piece of garbage). Then, to add insult to injury, Adobe forum mods telling me I'm doing it wrong and should be jumping through more hoops to achieve the same results. Now, with AE becoming a bigger part of my work, I am sad to find, that the same culture of disconnected arrogance and myopia prevails on the AE dev team.
"Oh um user, you really want to be going through AME, because um technically speaking there have been many problems with the H.264 and MPEG-2 exporters in After Effects"
Oh really? Tell me more about my job. Tell me about my experiences exporting these formats directly from AE. Tell me how my client views my content, is it on a Mac, or a PC? Maybe it's on his phone, or her iPad. What kind of phone is it though? Tell me at what point in my process it's ideal to render. Tell me about other tasks I'm performing. Tell me about the resolution and the bit-rate my files should play at. Tell me the final application I will be using the footage. Probably broadcast right? Or is it web? Or is it PowerPoint? Wait, what if there is no final output? What if it's just pre-vis for some other application?
Tell me how to win over my clients; what's the correct method of presentation to engage them most impactfully? Tell me about how much time I have to render massive video files. Is it more time efficient due to the nature of my composite to render once because my file is super shallow and will render quickly or is it more efficient to render twice because my file is extremely complex with hundreds of layers?
That the deprecated formats were hidden away in the preferences menu is dumb and annoying. That this same preference would then be removed is despicable and petty and is further confirmation that Adobe has contempt for me as a user.

AS3: Could we convert .swf into .flv and .flv into .swf

I'm searching for a program that can take an .flv and convert it to an AS3 .swf file. Is it possible in as3, Does anybody have any ideas?
I am not talking about any third party converter software.
Thanks,

Hi swati61,
I'm not sure why do you want to play an swf file in flv player. Will you post it on your website?
If yes, here is a solution:
http://www.swfkits.com/swf-to-flv-converter/
If you want to convert flv to swf, you can check this
www.flash-video-mx.com/video_to_flash_web/

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

How do I convert from AVI or FLV to SWF file?

First, I'm a complete Flash novice...this is the first time
I've dealt with any FLV or SWF files. So, please forgive my
ignorance on these topics. I have several small AVI files and have
successfully converted them to FLV format via Premiere Pro CS3 and
Adobe Media Encoder. But the client is also asking for SWF files of
the same videos. I've looked and looked for a way to save SWF
files. I tried pulling the video into Flash CS3, and saving as SWF,
but since I know nothing about using Flash, I don't seem to be
doing it correctly...seems like I'm getting just a single blank
frame. I've looked at the dozens of third party programs that claim
to be able to convert FLV to SWF, but the one I downloaded "Free
Video to Flash Converter" generated an SWF file that doesn't seem
to be playable anywhere. If there is a click-by-click method for
using Flash to perform the conversion, I'd be ever so grateful.
Again, please forgive my Flash-ignorance. Thanks for your help.

Why doesn't Flash have a built-in capability to convert FLV
to SWF? It's an obvious need and there are 3rd party programs of
varying quality that do it. Why should people who have already
purchased Flash need to look for something that handles this OK and
then install it on their machines?

Undesired Load order of FLV and MP3s

Hello
I have added a scrolling Flash page with a FLV and several
MP3 files in each their own player to site below.
I have set the video to autostart.
The MP3s are set to not autostart.
When I export the FLA the swf nicely plays the video first,
and the mp3s are loading in the background simultaniously.
When viewing the page in Firefox and Netscape the same
happens, just as intended.
Problem:
But in IE and Safari all the sound files are loading first
(and not playing) and not until they are fully loaded will the
video start loading and playing. This results in viewing an empty
video window for a long time.
1) Is there are way to make all browsers load the video first
and play it first?
2) And in general manage load order of video and audio files
in a Flash file?
Thank you on beforehand.
ggaarde
http://www.corpstory.com/video.htm

no, the sounds wouldn't be playing until you used the start()
method of those sound instances or you assigned the source property
of your mediaplayer and you wouldn't want to do either until your
flv completed play.
in fact, it would be optimal to first load one sound: the mp3
that follows the flv. then when that sound completed loading, load
the 2nd sound.

FLV to SWF to embed in a PDF?

Hi All,
I have been given a pdf (possibly built with InDesign?) and
two flv files. I have to embed the video into the PDF. How do I do
this, or more accurately, what is the best way to do this.
I have Acrobat Professional 8 and the Professional Studio
suite, including Flash Pro 8, at my disposal. I think I need to
convert the flv to swf (how is this best achieved) and then embed
the swf into the PDF using Acrobat Pro 8 (how is that best
achieved)?
The video's are no longer than 1.30 minutes, fairly static
(man speaking at a desk and woman cooking).
Thanks for any pointers.
Nick Barling

With the link tool of Adobe Acrobat you can overlay a link which does nothing.

Adding .flv or .swf in dreamweaver on top of background image

Hi,
I added an image background 1900 x 1200 in dreamweaver, which will serve as my background image for my web site. I would like to incorporate my .flv or .swf on top of my background image. Although, when doing so, the .flv or .swf gets placed under the background image and not on top. How do I place the .flv or .swf file on top of my background image in Dreamweaver CS5.
Thanks

Hi
This sounds as though you are not actually using a background-image but just placing an image on the page. To get any help people will have to see your page and the code, can you provide a link to a live page?
BTW: Your background-image size is way to big for most users monitors, just thought you should know.

›Cut‹ imported FLV for SWF's output length

Hello!
I'd preferred to post my question on a better place, but I did not see one (as stupid as I am) .
My question is a simple one. I got a video (als FLV) and emebed it into an AIR project. Now let my video has have an opening and maybe a closing sequence which I do not plan to export into my SWF wich is result of my work. The video (here) ›is‹ the maximum of timeline.
How can I control that only from begin frame/time-stamp to end frame/time-stamp my SWF is exported, everthing before or after is cut (or igenored)?
I do not paln to cut the project itself, save it as a cut version, no need to. It is just good enough to me to mark begin and end of the sequnce written out to SWF. Do I finally need to deal with ActionScript?
Markus Erich

Was my request so misunderstandable..?
Can I set a ›left‹ and a ›right‹ margin for the SWF «snipplet» that is exported from the total project; dicertly within FlashCS4?
Or do I neet ActionScript to control this?
Or ist this impossible?

Exporting to flv or swf

Is it possible to export an anmation made in Dircector MX
2004 to an flv ot swf file? In 'Publish Settings', it allows me to
create a shockwave file, but this creates a DCR file not a swf.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Neal,
As Sean suggested, you can export to a video format and then
convert that to a FLV.
You cannot export to a SWF from Director.
I've converted Director animation to video and the process I
use is to export the
frames as an image sequence, then import these into a video
editing program and I
add the sound there. That way, I can ensure i have the best
quality of the images
and I have total control over frame rate and other video
formatting properties.

FLV and AS3

Hi,
Any way to load an FLV into a ByteArray, modify it (for
instance, add a watermark) and pass it to the Video Object for
display ?
I know I can add a layer to add a watermark, but it's not
what I'm looking for)
Thanks in advance

Timer over flv or swf

Is it possible to put a flv or swf on a frame and in a frame above or below or for that matter on the frame itself have a timer that I could time to be the same as the flv or swf. I would like to do the in actionscript 2. The idea behind this would be if I had a 30 second video I could set the timer for 30 seconds so upon completion, or in other words after the 30 seconds it would gotoAndPlay the frame requested. If so, would you have the command to do so?
Thanks,
mark

I have initially loaded it as an flv using the file/import/import video. I don't know how else to load it, but if there is a better way, I am certainly willing to learn. I am making a quiz with video answers so I would like to keep this is AS2 since I know how to do this. My initial thought was to create a timer that would keep the frame with the video open long enough for it to play then specify a frame to go to. I have looked online and found alot of code to do this, but I haven't found anything that works. I realize that I am new and probably don't have the knowledge, so I am looking for a simple solution if possible.
Mark.
