FLV not playing in HTML on internet

I have many FLV that play fine on my website so this is not a
Server MIME issue. The SWF file plays FLV fine with called for
directly but when the HTML calls the exact same SWF it does not
call the FLV Player (swf) or FLV or FLV skin.
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/index_master.html
See any of the "videography" links under "wedding/event
packages" - click on Diamond, Sapphire, Onyx, or Crystal. A sample
FLV should play.
Now try the exact same file but call the direct SWF (pulled
into a holder on the above HTML)
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/flash_links/videography.swf
Click any of the Diamond, etc links and the SWF that pulls
the FLV comes up.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?

I have a suggestion...
Your skin path may be the issue. In your fla file you only
specify the name of the skin for the path:
ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
So the location of the skin is based on the html calling it,
not the swf. This is why the swf works when you put in the direct
to swf url, but not the html url.
Try putting the skin here:
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
instead of here:
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/flash_links/ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
and see if that makes the video work.

FLV embedded in a SWF file, does not play in HTML file.

Hi,
I embedded a FLV file into flash movie clip, which on publish plays well on SWF file, but when the same is embedded in HTML, it does not play.
What is it i'm missing ..
Kindly help.
Regards
Shashi

First, clarify this... are you embedding the .flv into the time line, as in:
The .FLV file is imported on the timeline of a movie clip.
I embedded the .flv file,
If you are in fact embedding the video, then there is no external video file... it's embedded into the timeline.
If you are using the FLVPlayback component and an external vid file to display the video and the .swf when testing plays the video just fine but not on the HTML Web page:
SWF plays external video file, as soon as I embed SWF in HTML, it no longer playes the external video file.
then it's most likely a pathing problem.
If you are placing the .swf on a Web page and the .swf and/or the .flv file are not both in the same folder as the Web page.... then the .swf should NOT work when you test it directly! That's because it should be pathed to play from the Web page and not the location of the .swf.
For your review:
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

.flv not playing in browser

Hi Everyone-
I'm facing an enormous conundrum and I was hoping somebody here may be able to shed some light on it.
I have a flash presentation that presents .flv files to the user. I have the main menu in a .swf file, and when the user selects one of the segments to watch, it calls up another .swf to display inside with an .flv embedded in it. This is so we only have to program one little popup menu and it frames all the videos. The presentation is going to be burned to a disc so a user will be able to watch it locally without having to be connected to the internet. Initially, I would just publish a Flash projector file and be done with it, but the disc kicks up the AutoPlay program on a PC, and the client has indicated that this simply will not do; it has to run right out of the box without the user doing anything. I offered what I figured would be a benign solution; embed the .swf into an html file and have it launch in the browser upon insertion.
Here is where it gets sticky: The whole presentation works just fine ... until I try watching it in a browser on a PC. The .flv file simply will not play. At all. The file works fine if I open the containing .swf, and the menu .swf, locally or deployed to a server. I've tried re-embedding and re-publishing on a Mac and a PC, I've tried fixing the Javascript call in the HTML file, I've checked my video codecs (on2 VP6) I've put all the files on the root of the disc, I've put all the files in a sub-folder of the disc, I've checked, double-checked and double-dog-checked all of my pathnames, tested it in every browser on every computer I can get my hands on... but still no dice.
The bizarre part is that all of the similar projects we've done are not working as well, so I can't check how the previous ones were set up for any kind of comparison. I'm sorry if this a long-winded post, but after hours of research and publishing and moving, I'm not any closer to a solution. I'm really hoping someone can help me out here.
Thanks in advance!
-Park

The video does not have a skin on it. It just loads, plays and ends. I have an ActionScript listener attached so that when the video ends, it goes back to the main menu.
I hope it will be helpful to add in some info that I left out of the first post. I don't know how handy it will be, but here we go:
The presentation is coded in AS2. It was built before AS3 came out, and since all the projects we've done have been very similar, it's easier (and cheaper) to just swap out some files and graphics than fixing what ain't broken.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Mac running 10.6.6, but I've also tried publishing it on a PC with Windows XP in CS3 as well.
The only place the .flv files don't work is in a web browser on a PC, regardless of whether it's embedded in an .html file or if opened by the browser. If I view the .swf files in Flash Viewer, the .flvs load right up, and they work when I view them directly in an .flv player as well.

Ipad not playing videos on the internet

when i try to play an mp3 file or mp4 video from safari browser
it said download or play in media player
when i click media player it plays only the sound but i don't see the video or controls
how do i fix this?

How about the content on the right side of this USA Today web page, titled watch Videos on cars, trucks:
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2010/09/one-in-five-motoris ts-now-would-fail-dmv-driving-test-/1

Inserted FLV not playing in published files

I am trying to insert an FLV file but keep getting the following error when trying to publish:
"The Flash video can not be loaded. The output may not be proper." When I try to run the output files the video player is blank.
I am using Captivate 5.5.
The FLV file plays correctly in preview mode and also plays correctly when I play it independantly using a media player.
The file is located in the same folder as the CPTX file and the output SWF and HTM outputs.
I prefer to use the insert FLV option as it provides the playback controls which aren't available from the Insert Video option. It does play correctly using the Insert Video option.
Please help!

I have discovered something really unexpected. I tried publishing to the EXE format which worked. If I then published in the Flash format it works! If I try to publish again it reverts to the old problem.
Is this a bug?

Flv videos not playing on html files - UNC/Mapped Drives

Hi,
We've discovered an issue with Dreamweaver CS3 recently (running on Windows 7 Pro, 32bit) in our school, where embedded flv video files wont run when the file's UNC path appears in the address bar, but will if this is changed to the local drive letter, in our case N. This obviously makes it a little difficult for teachers to mark students' work.
I found a similar issue in another thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/688483
which had not been answered. Are there any known solutions for this please? I have spent a while browsing, but have so far not come back with much. I've tried enabling and disabling 'Remove run from start menu' which was suggested, but this didn't make any difference.
Thank you
Regards
Savos Aren

Nathan,
Your welcome, if that is the case, then can you try and insert the MultiSlide Video, you can insert the streaming video URL.
You can add the server to you computer as network Drive and then browser to that location, once you do that, the options to add the Video as Streaming can be chose and your Vidoe would remain insync with main playbar, users can play and pause content that way.
See if this can be implemented at your end.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You're not using the full URL to the file.
You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
"http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

Can't get FLV to play in HTML page...

Hi,
I dragged the FLVPlayback to the stage and set the source to my FLV file name and set the skin to one of the options.
My HTML page calls upon the published SWF file. Do I need to name the additional SWF file to the same name as my skin?
How do you publish the skin file also?
I'm thinking this issue lies with the dimensions of the movie. The FLV says it is 640 x 480. So I went in and modified the Flash document to the same.
Do I need to use the Transform tool and make the actual player to these proportions so it fills the stage? - here is where the confusion lies...or is it 'smart' enough to conform. My settings are the default of 'maintain aspect ratio'.
Please help!
Thank you.

As mentioned earlier, most likely a pathing problem... but just a slight correction. If you just cannot figure out the pathing issue, put all your files in the same folder as the WEB PAGE, not the .fla, since you don't need to upload that file anyway.
But, to dispell the myth that all the files need to be in the same directory... just not true. You can put your Flash related stuff in whatever folders you want as long as you realize that once you place your Flash .swf on a Web page, you are in effect, removing that .swf from it's physical location and moving it to the same folder as the Web page. So all files called by that .swf (skins, videos, xml) must be called relative to the Web page location, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
From an old post:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do not have to be in the root. But if sticking them in there worked, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths become relative to the Web page on which those Flash files are used. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, etc), the path used inside the .swf to the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.

Video Lightbox Not Playing in iFrame in Internet Explorer

I have built a site to include training videos with a composition widget (lightbox) in Muse CC.
My site plays well on Firefox and Chrome, but in Internet Explorer the video pops out and plays on my Windows Media Player. I had my team test in IE and they had the same issue.
Is there anything that I can do so that the videos only play in the compostion and in iframe and will not pop up?
EX: Full-Time School Programs | FuelEd Training Team
If you open the site in FF / Chrome, it works well. If you open in IE, a separate pop-up window plays the video.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

The link provided does not work anymore , please provide correct link as well more details in case you are facing same issue.
This can be related to browser plugin installed.
Thanks,

FLV not playing from in directory

We placed all our FLVs in a "video" directory so users can find them on CD/DVD if needed. (Our immediate goal is a CD, will be online later this year.)
When publishing a SWF/htm, Captivate makes copies of all the FLVs and places them at the root.
Just for fun I deleted all those copies, published as an EXE, burned to CD. No video play.
How can videos be linked from directories?
thanks! on a deadline early tomorrow so appreciate your assistance.
christine

Thnak you so much Hari.
Unfortunately Video Management only works with Slide video. Specifications request FLV so the user can inititiate play controls instead of auto-playing the video.
I'll offer it as a trade-off.
Thanks,
Christine

Flash not playing on html page after template is altered

Hi,
Can anyone help. If i alter anything on a template none of the .swf files on pages based on that template will work when previewed in the browser.
I am using DW CS3.
Anyone any ideas

Good day,
This issue can be considered as a limitation at some point because Dreamweaver lacked the ability to "auto-update", although it was not really the best practice to include Flash contents in a DW template.
There is a workaround though. You may need to edit the template (.dwt) itself and work in Code View.
While in Code View, use the Find and Replace (Edit > Find and Replace) feature so it will be easier for you to find what you are looking for.
In the Find and Replace window, choose Current Document as value for Find in, and Source Code as Search.
In the Find input field, type --> 'src' (including the single quotes) and click on Find Next.
Once you found 'src', pay attention to the text next to it enclosed in single quotes. The value in the single quotes is the path of where the Flash file is saved. try to remove ../ if you happen to see it. (do this if the Flash file is located in the same folder where the HTML page which uses it is saved)
Using Find and Replace again, this time, try to search for 'movie' (including single quotes). You'll see again the text next to it which is the same value as what you have searched before. Do the same thing, try removing ../. (do this if the Flash file is located in the same folder where the HTML page which uses it is saved)
Save the DW template file and try to preview the pages again in the browser.
I hope this helps.

Christine R.
