FLV video in a single keyframe.

hello,
I have loaded an external FLV video into my project however, my video starts immediately as soon as I go to the keyframe with the video on it. It can still be heard playing after I leave that keyframe. Should I return to the keyframe it begins playing two versions of the video. i have tried VideoAndy.stop(); on the keyframes before and after and that does not work.
I want the video to stop playing when i leave the keyframe
how would i do this?
Thanks,
Jac
EDIT: for all those who may be having the same problem, in your keyframes before and after the video keyframe add the following code
flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll();
this will stop all sound once you leave the video keyframe

You need to stop the FLVPlayback in the frame where it exists, so whatever portion of code that you have that controls leaving that frame should include the command to stop the player.

Need advice/guidance on how to export .FLV videos for my website.

Can anyone help me?
I am trying to embbed a .swf/.flv video into my website,
using dreamweaver and flash cs4. But when i do so, and i load the
video, the .FLV playback componet wont load or the browser dosent
even try to load the data at all, it just plays the video. So users
cant mute, have volum control, pause, stop or anything. Can someone
please help me? i looked all over the net for 2 days and cant find
a single turtorial or anything. I know alot of website use .FLV but
how? and how do you export it?

You need three parts for the flv playback: the swf, the flv,
and the video player skin swf. If you create the flv from your
Flash movie by importing the original video, Flash should make all
of those parts for you. Upload each of these files to your server
and the file should play as expected.
Can you describe in more detail what you are doing that may
be different?

Why is my FLV video pausing?

I have posted a FLV video on my website, using Dreamweaver. The video appears there just fine, but when I play it back it pauses several times during playback. Here is the page containing the problematic video: http://www.criticalpathfinders.com/activity_volunteambuilding.html
My web host says that all the settings are correct, in his words:
"all of the settings we have in IIS6 are correct, we have a MIME extension as .flv and the MIME type is flv-application/octet-stream. In the code where the movie is, there is a line that begins object type="application/x-shockwave-flash. I have added that as a MIME type with the extension of .swf"
The movie is about 5 minutes long and about 35Mb.
What is causing this problem and what is the fix?

hi
Even though you can adjust the flash players cache, asking your users to do so is not really an option. The speed of your connection is obviously just one of the problems that cannot be changed, so unfortunately your only options are -
Change your single flv from one large file too a number of smaller files.
Lower the quality of the flv, (if possible) to decrease download time.
Inform your users of the size of the file, and offer info on the 'increase cache' option.
To change player settings, click on the player options icon, (normally on the right hand side of the 'skin') and select the change settings option, (this requires you to be on-line to change the options).

How do I make an introduction using flv video?

I'm trying to make a platform game and I want it to look as professional as possible however I am unable to get the basics to work. Although I have used Flash before I am still a novice so help would be much appreciated.
What I want
I have imported the flv video onto frame 1.
The main menu should be on frame 2.
I want to make it so when the user opens the application the video plays (frame 1) and then it goes and stops on the main menu screen (frame 2)
What's going wrong
Whenever I insert another keyframe on a different layer or blank keyframe I get this error message.
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

          at flash.utils::Timer/tick()"

In any layer, is there any code on the same frame where the FLVPlayback component is? If so that code would need to be moved along with the component. You would have to stop() on that frame so the video can play. It seems like the FLVPlayback component is becoming unavailable (playhead leaves that frame) prematurely. Once the video is done you should dispose the component so it has a chance to clean up and avoid errors like this.

An image changing to FLV Video Player in AJAX Update Panel

Hi,
I'm trying to design part of a website can seen as video gallery. I have videos related to subcategories; and subcategories that related to categories.
I was using popups but now want to change it. Simply, firstly there are images and descriptions(in an update panel) of videos on page. After clicking thumbnail, the region includes thumbnail and description wil be changed to FLV video player.
Outside of updatepanel player is working good. but when i move it into updatepanel; doesn't working in IE. Because JS code (AC_FL_RunContent(.....)) is not working in updatepanel. Tried another script (like alert('hello!');), it's working. I think i have problem with the function named AC_FL_RunContent(...). It's working as i want, if open page with Firefox.

Please help me load an .flv video that has been embeded onto a web page

Hello there,
I was hoping someone on this forum could please help me with one specific problem that I am having. I would like to embed the a flash player into an html page, and load the video from a service that has the streaming video provided.
This is the context of the situation...
We have created a site that was to be used on a showroom floor (no internet connection) and loaded the .flv videos at the local root level for the site.
Now however, we would like it to be an online site. I have been able to use the flash "jw player"to load videos to play using the shadowbox javascript, but when I try to embed it onto a page and have it play, it isn't working and I am not sure why.
Below is the code that is currently working to load the videos on the local root level.
Might someone have any ideas on what I need to replace to have it load the videos from the streaming service?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance that could be provided. I can also provide a URL if it would help.
I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance provided.

<p><a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer">Get Flash</a> to see this player.</p>
</object>
</object>

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the reply. However, I am pretty confident that the jw player supports the streaming video option, but as I mentioned that I was able to use it as a popup using the shadowbox javascript before. After doing a bit of investigating on how the videos are hosted, I am using "progressive download" method for these videos.
I think the problem is that the player.swf is hosted on my website server - and the videos are then hosted on the media hosting service. I think that the player needs to be located on the media hosting service, and then embedded onto the page along with where to point to the .flv video. Does that sound right?
If so, the paramater I am using to embed the player as I mentioned in my original post is simply:
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
does the "value" then have to change to the http:// address for the video player.swf that would then be hosted on my video hosting service?
Little help?
Please let me know if there is anything I can provide to clarify the issue.
Thanks

FLV videos not playing correctly in Captivate 6

I am running into an issue where my FLV video is not playing correctly when my Captivate project is exported out and saved to the web. The FLV video is about 20 mins long (~100 MB) and it is being streamed from Kaltura. The FLV video is inputted into the Captivate project as a multi-slide synchronized video across 27 slides. The slides themselves are imported from Powerpoint. The problem that we are running into is that the Captivate project and the FLV video play correctly when viewed with decent bandwidth, but they do not appear to play correctly for users with slower bandwidth. However, if a user views the videos independently of Captivate, they can view the videos correctly, even at slower bandwidth. I have tried hosting the Captivate files on several different webservers, including an LMS. But the issue continues and I'm searching for any type of answers that might help.
Thanks for reading and any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Nathan

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

No FLV video in a linked SWF?

I’ve got an FLV video linked to an external SWF (a substage) that is itself linked to another SWF (the main stage) The FLV plays fine if I publish and run the substage independently but when the substage is loaded into the main stage at runtime I lose the video, all the other screen elements from the substage work fine. I thought it might be a path issue so I hardcoded a fully qualified URL as the video source with the same results; works independently, fails when loaded into the main stage at run time. Anyone know what’s going on? Thanks.
Flash CS5/AS3 using the video player component.

The FLV is linked to tutorial.swf via the standard video playback component. The video and tutorial swf are in the same directory, optimally the video should be linked with a relative path but a fully qualified URL is an option.
Tutorial.swf is loaded at runtime into the main swf using a standard loader class script. The main swf is in the parent directory of the tutorial & video directory (ie: it’s up one level).
Tutorial.swf loads properly into the main swf and plays audio & animations, the only thing it doesn’t show is the video, no error is thrown.
I’ve just discovered that I haven’t really tested the fully qualified URL option, my server didn’t have flv set as a valid mime type. If that works I’ll take it and move on, but I’d much rather a simple relative link.
flv -(video playback component)-> tutorial.swf -(loader class script)-> main.swf

How to detect end of FLV Video - and then call another web page?

I'm using Flash CS3 v9 on a PC to...
- use File > Import an AVI video and convert it to an FLV video.
- use File > publish to publish it.
- Then upload the four files...
.. MyVideo.flv
.. MyPage.html,
.. MyPage swf
.. AC_RunActiveContent.js
to my website.
Works Great!
My Question:
Since Javascript seems to run the .swf file which pays the .flv video... (or some such)
Can I use Javascript (or html) to tell when the FLV Video has finished playing...
And then automatically call another webpage...
If so would someone be kind enough to share a code sample with me to get me quick started.
Thanks for any help.

I'm using the defaults in Flash CS3 ver9.
I'm not creating any action script myself.
I open Flash and select from the Flash menuio options...
"Create New Flash File (Action Script 3.0)"
I then File | Import my AVI video to convert it to an FLV video...
and choose the player options for controls, etc
and then punch through the menu's until Flash finally imports the video.
I then "Publish" the project to the the 4 files mentioned in my initial posting.
So, I think the answer to your question is...
Yes, I'm using the default Flash playback component to play the flv
and yes, I'm letting Flash default to CS3 even though I'm not writing the code... Flash is.
Thanks for the help.

Can you put Video Controls on an .flv video?

I have an .flv file in my .fla file. However, when I play the movie, it simply plays the movie along the timeline. Is there a way to put video controls on this file? Or do I need to use the videoPlayback option?
If I do need to use the videoPlayback option, how do I make sure that the video always work, even if I move it to a different computer (because the references to the movie will change)?
Thank you very much in advanced.
-TitanVex

Hi Ned,
Thank you for your reply!
I guess I mean that when I specify the path to my flv file and I export the swf file, the swf won't play the flv video if I move the swf file to another computer. Does that make sense?
Thank you for the answer though, I will use FLVPlayback!

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:

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

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,

.flv VIDEOS not playing smoothly

A heavy video-generated Captivate project has been created in Cap 4:
* 18 slides all up, with the total size of .flv videos coming to 90.7MB
* Using Captivate, as looking for interactivity -- there is also a menu, so users can jump to whichever section they'd like to watch/use
When accessing the completed project online:
1) The loader quickly goes up to 100%
2) Shows the preloader image I have inserted
3) User clicks play, and the first slide with video plays...
The first video either freezes / move quickly along the timeline. You are also unable to jump to other sections shown in the menu. While I am not too worried about this, my priority is for comfortable viewing for the first video. I am assuming that the first video freezes, etc because the whole project has yet to load completely. How can one work towards this solution? I have tested the loading time, changing it from 10%, 20%, towards 100% but the video is still freezing at times / moving quickly along the timeline.

Thanks for your PM - I just checked your project and it runs 100% fine and smooth for me.
I checked it on two different PC's
1. Vista 64-bit, IE 7.0, Flash player 10, 10mbit/10mbit internet connection.
2. Win XP Pro, IE 7.0, Flash player 10, corporate LAN
This leads me to the conclusion that the issue is the speed of your internet connection. The first video is around 80 seconds and is 13.5 Mb. That is very big when you consider the length and especially the dimension of the video you are using.
If you dont already have FP10 then try and upgrade to see if that helps. It's much better at handling videos etc. than the older versions of Flash players.
Secondly you need to recode your videos. You will be able to get the first video down from 13.5 to perhaps 4-6 mb, with a noticable quality loss. If you have Flash you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to do the recoding.
