.flv videos not appearing in published .swf

Hi, I have imported some .flv files into my Captivate project, but when I publish it as .swf the files do not show I up at all... I have no idea why... Can anyone help with this.

Hello ,
Can you tell me the version of Adobe Captivate you are using (Go to Help > About Adobe Captivate) ?
Do you get any error message when you play the .swf output ?
Thanks

FLV Video not appearing

I have been trying to convert some VOB video files to flv
files.
I have used a converter to convert the VOB files to MPG.
These mpg files display fine when I launch them within Windows.
When I create a new flash file and import the video, the video
appears as a 32 by 32 black square. I have included play controls
but pressing play, nothing appears. However the progress bar moves
along as if it is playing. There is no sound either.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Paul

Many Flash Video encoders can't process muxed MPEG-2 program
streams (your run of the mill MPEG-2 file, including VOB files). I
wrote an article on MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 usage in Flash Video encoders
on Community MX. It's a free article, and it might help you get
your MPEG-2 encoded without any transcoding to MPEG-4. If you have
any questions after reading the article, let me know:

.flv not appearing in published .air (Flash CS6)

Hello,
I've made an interactive story with Flash CS6 and ActionScript 3.0, the characters are all .flvs as they're animated and need transparent backgrounds so they can be put onto a separate background. However when I publish the piece as an .air, install it and run the application the .flvs don't appear at all. The only advice I've been able to find is to make sure that in the .xml that can be found in the same folder as the .air that transparency is not set to "transparent", this has the value of "false", I've tried changing it to "true" just to check and this didn't work. Any help what so ever would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

This can have multiple reasons
1.Make sure that you add all the needed assets manually in the air-export options
2.Videos have certain restrictions like their dimensions have to be dividable by 16, also flash could have problems with audio if its not standard 44,1 kHz but 48 kHz
etc.
Make sure that you check "allow debuggin" in the Export options to get hints what went wrong.
Also just an advise : I can`t see how it is a good design to make characters in an interactive story videofiles,you should convert them to swf and make movieclips out of them.
This will keep your filesize manageable and give you overall more control.

FLV video to appear in front of SWF movie

Hi, I have a FLV video with a transparent background that plays in front on a HTML based website perfectly fine. But when place in front of a website that's a SWF movie in a HTML shell it comes up fine in Mac based browsers, but appears underneath the SWF file in PC based browsers. Does anyone know how I can get the FLV to appear in front of the SWF in alll browsers?

Have you tried setting the wmode="transparent" in the html embedding code for the swf file. That normally causes an swf to drop down to page level z-wise. Normally Flash will otherwise sit above other content.

Flv video not playing in AIR application

Hi everybody,
i'm building a tutorial with flash catalyst and since the 20 states limit i've split it up in different swf files that I import and show in different states.
One of these swf (which i built with Catalyst as well) is supposed to play a flv video, and it actually plays it if i run it alone.
The problem comes when i build the overall tutorial: it works perfectly with the "run project" command in Catalyst and with the run-local version but the video won't play if i try the AIR application.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
NB: the "asset" directory created with the AIR application installer does contain the flv file (i didn't have to put it there manually)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,
what I do is:
1. create a file using Captivate
2. i place a .flv video in this file
3. save the file as .swf
4. then i go to dreamweaver and put the swf on a html page.
Now:
when viewed in a browser, everything runs fine.
when i pack this page into an air application (in dreamweaver) the video does not appear,
instead I get this "Connection Error"
I do not know a console or log file.
However, I learned that there is a .xml file located in the same AIR folder that you publish in.
In this .xml file there is a setting :transparency. in order to playt a .flv file this must not be be "transparent"!
(i read this somewhere in the net)
hope that helps
I will talk to a professional programmer, if I have any news, i will let you know

Web-object interaction/widget does not appear in published slideshow

I added the web-object interaction/widget using my notes from the instructions in the relevant Lynda.com video (as the Captivate 7 User Guide makes no mention of the web page widget, web-object widget, web object widget, web-object interaction, web-page interaction, web page interaction, or webpage interaction).
The web-object interaction, or web-object widget (or whatever you choose to call the thingie that should provide the user of the published project slideshow with direct interaction with a web page from within one of the slides), it sometimes works in preview; may have worked once when published; but otherwise does not appear on the slide.
On its not appearing in either the published HTML document or the SWF file:
--I had a Continue button on the slide, and tried removing that.
This did not help.
--Because the web-object interaction/widget automatically sets the slide's action on entrance to "Pause," I tried setting it to "No action" (thinking that the slide, being pause on entrance, might never get to the web-object widget/interaction).
This did not help.
--I thought that perhaps navigating in the slide show with various "Jump to slide" settings, I would watch it without navigation.
This did not help.
Any help will be appreciated.
Jeff

In the published folder, I noticed a SWF called stagewebview. I guess this file has got something to do with Web Object interaction. When we link to published HTML file, this SWF is getting called automatically. But in your case since you are linking to published SWF file, the web object interaction SWF is not getting called. So, is it not possible for you to link it to HTM file?

FLV video not showing up

I imported a flv video on a Dreamweaver page. It looks fine
when I view in a browser locally, but when I publish it just shows
as a white area.
When I publish with SWFs; no problem.
I've publish the scripts so that's not the issue. Any ideas I
should try?
Thanks very much.
Any ideas?

Check your hosting, one of mine is now blocking flv files as
"streaming".
When I have time sites on that hosting company will be moved.

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,

Video not viewable when published

I have tried posting a video to the web. I have used the podcast pages and the movie page. Neither one works. I called apple, and the guy that I talked to said that it might be a size issue. So, I tried posting a very small version of the video, and it still was not viewable once published.
What appears when I click on the page is a transparent quicktime "Q" with a question mark over it. When I tried publishing the video as a podcast the rss that iweb assigned was the address. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

What format is the video? I have uploaded a 50MB (just to test I could do it) video to iweb pages exported from imovie '06 and also used Quicktime to compress for web. Visual Hub is also good for compressing videos for the web.

Widgets Not Appearing on Published Site

I updated my work website by adding photo albums (Simple Viewer through LR4) with the HTML widget and YouTube videos with the YouTube widget. After saving and publishing the site changes, I viewed the website through iWeb (when prompted) and everything looked good. I then uploaded the website changes using Fetch, but all changes involving one of the widgets (HTML or YouTube) do not appear on the updated website (but the text and new pages are present). I repeated the saving, viewing, and uploading with the same results. This is an example of one of my new pages which is meant to have both YouTube videos and Simple Viewer photo albums: www.animalcancersurgeon.com/Limb_Amputation.
What can I do to get the widgets to appear on my uploaded website?
Thanks

Thanks, Wyodor. Interesting - I cannot see these widgets on my site in either Safari or Firefox. When you go to the bottom of the page that you took a screen shot of above, do you see the Simple Viewer photo album?
When you say I should have moved the missing files on the server - should I have moved them to the Scripts folder or, in the above case, to the Limb Amputation folder?
This is currently the contents of the Limb Amputation folder:
And this is the content of the HTML and YouTube folders, which are both in the Widget folder insider the Scripts folder:
I'm not very savvy at this kind of thing, but I don't see the YouTube widget files in the Limb Amputation folder and nor do I see them in the YouTube folder inside the Scripts folder.
In the Limb Amputation folder, is widget6_markup.html the HTML widget for the Simple Viewer photo album?
Thanks for your help - I really appreciate it.

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

Site does not appear after Publishing

Since the switch over to the dreadful MobileMe, every time I update and re-publish my site, the content does not appear when visiting the site. Is it me, or is it yet more issues with these appalling MobileMe servers?
If anyone else is encountering the same problem let me know and if you have found a way round this.

I have the same problem. My about me page and picture page is gone when i try visiting my site. I think I screwed it up.
this is the main address: http://web.me.com/liaqb/Lias_Page/Welcome.html
and this is the other site that it showed up on.
file:///iweb%20site/Lias_Page/Welcome.html
Here's the problem... on the first address, the only ones showing up are the welcome page, blog page, and videos page.
on the second site, everything shows up. how do I get it all back on the first site address?

Image does not appear when publishing...does it matter where you import audio?

I have an image on my slide and when I preview the slide it appears correctly, when I hit F10 to preview next 5 sldies or publish file it does not appear. I have imported audio to the slide not to an object. I am wondering if this matters? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you...

Rod -
Cant really explain this one, but the visible check box was checked... I then unchecked it and checked it again, now it seems to be working.....
Weird, but at least it is working.
