FLVPlayback Runtime Poster/Preview Image

I cannot find an ActionScript 3 code example anywhere on how to load a PNG file as a flvplayback preview image and add it in at runtime." Assigning the preview property with the string of the PNG file refrence like 'video.preview = "previewimg.png"' does nothing. Does anyone know who to assign in ActionScript 3 a PNG file as preview file.

My preview image assigned in the IDE will not be exported to the swf file during the publishing of the fla file. The initial video screen is black rather than showing the preview/poster image for the movie. But on some Adobe websites it says that a preview image can be assigned using ActionScript which would make the preview image visible at runtime. But I have not seen any code on how to actually do that. Just assigning a value to the preview property of the FLVPlackback component does not do the job. It seems there is a black hole of information on this.

Flash Video Preview Image or Poster Frame

is there a param name expression i can use to set my preview
image of my flash video in Dreamweaver? I have used other people
players and i was able to do this by going:
<param name="image" value="preview.jpg" />
Not much you cant tweak with this flash video feature.
Anyone know of a list of all the param name's ? or settings i
can tweak?
thanks
I want my video to function like this.

FLVplayback and preview image how to do?

LIke youtube, they have a preview image of the flash video.
How do i get flash using actionscript to dynamically generate a
image realtime?
Oh, one more question, how do i convert any file to an flv
through the internet? dont worry, i'm not trying to beat youtube,
i'm doing this for a music studio website.
I heard of this ffmpeg.exe....how to use this? Do I put this
on my webserver? I use the paid yahoo webhosting.

sorry kglad, that won't work. The image file has to be
dynamically generated on the spot online as i am creating a website
for new piano music company. He doesn't know how to use flash and I
have no time to manually do this for every video the web owner
uploads.
Speaking of which, ffmpeg is not compatible with yahoo
webhosting plan. yahoo is only limited to php 4.3.1.1. Switching
webhosts provider is not an option. is there any other way that
when the web owner uploads a video(any format), it can be converted
on the spot into any format(preferbly flv like youtube, but i wanna
add custom birates and such)? is there a way. I contacted yahoo
through email but they never answer(maybe they are too scared that
the answer may make me rethink of my webhosting).

CS4 - Render preview image not scaled and position properly

Hi,
I'm trying to edit video captured with a GoPro in R4 mode.
It produces videos int he following format:
1280x960
1.0 square pixel
29.97 fps
I created a sequence corresponding to these settings. When no effects are added to the clip in the sequence, playback is fine in the sequence preview panel.
Things starts to get messy when I edit the clip. I get the red bar over the clip telling me I need to render a preview. And it's true, the playback skips and lag.
Here's some image of the result of the rendered preview:
when playing:
Image above shows both clips are at the same frame. No effects applied beside a title.
When not playing and clicking on the preview image:
Image is centered, but the ratio changed.
Investigating this problem showed em that the rendered videos changed resolution (which is logic), but they also changed the ratio of the original video!!
Original video is 1280 * 960 for a 4:3 ratio, while the preview videos are 720*480 (not 4:3).
Now, I tried changing the rendered preview settings here:
I had no success. The only codecs I have found to not change the resolution of the preview are "Uncompressed UYVY 422 8 bits" and "V210 10-bit YUV". These codec produce high quality videos (same resolution, high bit rates) as preview that my computer still have problem to play.
I'm not more advanced.
In my choices of settings, the only preview file format I have is microsoft AVI.
So,
1. Anyone ever had this problem? (and knows how to fix it )
2 How can I have more choice than AVI for a preview file format.
3. How can I install more preview codecs to test the different options?
4. Suggestions, comments?
Please, keep in mind that I'm still discovering adobe premiere. I started to play with it only 2 days ago. This is pretty much the last problem I have before starting to edit my footage.
Thank you all.
PS
Sorry if my english is not perfect, it's not my main langugage.

@John T Smith:
already searched for the answers, but withiout success.
@Ann Benns:
Thanks for the advice. I will try that tonight.
In the meantime, I found a post about a guy who had the same issue as me:
http://goprouser.freeforums.org/changed-question-about-adobe-premiere-resolution-t1492-20. htm
The post ends in 2010 with: "WOOHOO!! I finally got it (mysteriously) to work again!"
I will try to send him an email.
Thanks for your help. If anyone has more suggestions or ideaas, they are more than welcome!

thx alot indeed

Before I share the app I use I have something to say.
You have lousy forum etiquette. You constantly post asking things you could easily do research for yourself, both here in the Apple Discussion forums and on the web. You rarely show any appreciation for the help people give to you by marking their posts as Helpful or Solved. In fact you rarely even return and mark your original posts as Answered, you just ignore them and move on to post another question. You obviously don't read the links people provide because you ask another question that has usually been answered in the link.
You received a printed User Guide with your Mac and there is a Help utility in the Finder, as well as many OS X and 3rd party apps, in the Help Menu, that answers many of the questions you post. There is a Google search box in the upper right corner of every Safari window that has a toolbar, I, and I'm sure others here who assist you, often find the answers in barely a minute by typing the topic in that search box and pressing enter.
Most of the apps you ask about are available at Version Tracker. It also has a search box. Plus the apps are arranged in topics, as well as the newest postings.
Please go back and mark all your previous posts that are answered, as well as, show some appreciation to the folks who helped you with answers and suggestions.
I use ThumbsUp. It is free, a Universal binary and available on Version Tracker. Go to the Preferences/Create and choose the Icons for Originals. Then you can highlight groups of photos and just drag & drop them on the ThumbsUp Icon in your Apps folder and it will open and start creating a Photo Icon for each photo. Small groups are almost instant. I have done as many as 150 in one drag & drop.

No Safari Bookmarks Preview Images

Hi,
some of my Safari Bookmarks in Cover Flow Modus don't show a preview image.
They just seem to get lost from time to time. And I always had this problem. With every OS and Safari, no matter which version.
How can I assure to always have preview images of my bookmarks or trigger that they'll come back?
Thanks,
Melros

Ok, interesting to hear. Thank you.
But it never felt like Safari would do it automatically. And beside, why should the cache be "full" by sometime? There's enough space on the drive.
But here's a solution I just found out for now:
After deleting the cache (and I guess it would also work for single sites without an recent preview image) I just opened the page again and let it fully load. Then the preview image is back again.
So I did it with all my folders now and it seems to work again. But sadly again not for all. There are still some with no preview images in between where even reoping the page doesn't help.
Quick tip for user who are trying this method: You can simply right click on a bookmark folder and open all bookmarks in tabs. So you won't have to open every single one.
Future solution idea for Apple:
I wish Apple would take care about it automatically. (if they already do we see that it doesn'r properly work yet). So that the images just won't get lost in the first place or at least offer a kind of "refresh all bookmark previews".
From now I'll keep an eye on when they get lost again and will get back on this post if I find out something new about it.
So thank you Carolyn for you help here! : )

No Preview images on iMac

When I try to import images to LR3 on my new iMac I do not see any Preview images. Also in the import panel all I can see are the Folders or in case of a Card .. the name of the Card
No Preview images appear .. when I press the import button ALL of the images in a folder on an external hard drive are imported .. They appear as they Import
before I upgrade to LR4 I really want to resolve this issue. I have seen on other posting how a similar issue has been resolved on PC/Windows
Can anyone advise
thanks

It's highly unusual for thsi probelm to occur on Mac. Are you sure that the import window is set for full screen rather than the simplified view. See screen shot below. The button with red border is used to toggle between full screen and simple view.

Safari 5 doesn't saves webpage preview images

Safari doesn't saves webpage preview images. It only save images for my Top Sites pages.
When I look in my history cover flow I only see blank Safari symbols (except history from my Top Sites webpages)
Well I really want to see full cover flow.
How can I fix this?
By the way, the Reader feature really cool and very useful.

By the way, I finally gets history to be saved. It fixed by Safari 5.
Yes, I saw your post on that one ... at least some incremental progress is being made ...
There's an area of Discussions (available only to the level 4 or 5 users) where we can post information about trouble we see out in the "public" forums ("Notable New Technical Issues"). I've been updating a thread on this issue with your progress so far with this. (I'm not sure if the Safari developers watch that though ... but just in case, I've been stashing info about this there.)
In the meantime, it's probably worth submitting a bug report via the "Help > Report Bugs to Apple" or the Apple Bug Reporter thing (if you've registered as an Apple Developer).

Preview image for videos on flash website. Help!

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm at that right place so sorry if I'm wasting your time by asking this question but I'm having problems with my flash website.
I want the video on my website to show a preview image before the video is played instead of it displaying a blank black frame. I went on component inspector - preview - and selected the frame of the animation that I wanted to be shown. But when I came to uploading my swf and html file the preview image for the video is still black. On component inspector - preview - it says 'To generate a runtime preview image, use the export button and load the image back by writing your own actionscript'. So I exported the image but I haven't got a clue how to write my own actionscript. I've spent hours trying to find help on this but I haven't been successful.
Do you know how I can sort this out? Thank you

Have a look at this tutorial: http://web.archive.org/web/20081012122149/http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/poster_frame_fo r_flash_video/
If you still have questions, ask again.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
"Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed.
The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers. Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Previewing images in forms 11g from the server

Hi All,
i need your help in this issue please
i've just migrated my application from forms 6i to forms 11g
there is a function in my application that i used that previewed images that exists on a network drive that are used in an image gallary
now i don't have this setup as the application is hosted on the weblogic server
i want an alternative method that i can use to preview the images from the server
the old way was:
read_image_file('.\default_image.jpg','any','preview.image_preview'); --this shows a default image if no image was selected
if :search_results.file_path is not null then
     read_image_file(:preview.image_path||'\'||:search_results.file_path,'any','preview.image_preview');     -- this shows the image that we retreived it's name from the database but it exists on the file system
end if;
i've configured the webutil but i don't know what method to use
also another functionality that i lost in the migration is opening a browser window to preview the final article that the editor entered using my application
the old way was:
declare
     url varchar2(1000);
begin
     url:='http://10.100.100.197:55/allcontent/allcontentimages/'||:SEARCH_RESULTS.FILE_PATH||'';
WIN_API_SHELL.WinExec('"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" '||url||'',
WIN_API.SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED,TRUE);
Exception when NO_DATA_FOUND then
MESSAGE('CAN NOT FIND THE FILE');
end;
now ithe WIN_API_SHELL is not working as i'm on the server side and i don't know the alternative
please advice

Hello Nivin
If you want to read an file from local drive or from netwrok drive then before reading images please make sure that do you have full rights and have you mapped that network drive .
after that you use read_image_file built in(). secondly you configure WEBUTIL package.
please visit the following link for configuring webutil.
I configured my webutil package from this link and its worked fine.

I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
Thanks, Marie

Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

Printing Questions - "Poster" - One image on multiple sheet of paper (to create an enlargement)

Hello,
Tried to find this in the archives - apologies if this has already been answered. Kindly reply with that link and I won't ask you to chew your cabbage twice...
On my older PC, I used to be able to print an image in "poster" mode, which essentially let me print and enlarge an image by printing it across multiple pages (e.g. 4, 6, 9 pages.) Since I'm a painter, this was an easy way for me to print out an image - and enlarge it - from which I could tape the pages together to create the enlargement. I then could use that rough poster-enlargement-on-multiple-sheets-of-paper to trace on to my canvas. (And my photographer friends have already pointed out the ease of which to actually print poster size images, but I don't need that expense or hassle for my purposes. I basically want an enlargement to trace onto a larger size canvas to paint on.)
Since I just got a new Mac, I've downloaded PSE9 Mac trial, but can't for the life of me figure out how to replicate what I used to do on my PC, granted with an older version of PSE.
Hoping this makes sense - and hoping against hope that someone can nudge me in the right direction...
Thanks!
Greg
BTW - IF this does make sense, AND I can do on the Mac or the newer version of PSE - anybody got an idea for a workaround? (Short of buying PS CS5...?)

Juergen,
Thanks so much! Of course you're right - and this does the job perfectly! Thank you so much for the prompt replay, explained clearly, and very helpful! You've really helped me move onto items which I've really wanted to do!
Very gratefully,
Greg

How to post multiple images in one blog post using iweb

Hi
I would like to post multiple images in a single blog post. When ever I add a second or third image in the "entry" section of iweb, it does not show up in the blog post on the homepage of the blog. does anyone know if it is even possible to have multiple, separate images in one post, and if so, how.
Here is a link to my blog: http://www.hoopography.com. You can see how there is only one image. I I want to talk about multiple items, I need to create an image in Pages and put them all together. I would really like to break out of the one box (placeholder) mold. I feel so constrained in iweb right now. I think I have done a lot with my blog, but I am always looking to learn more about iweb and improve my blog. Thanks for any help!!!

what's the url of your blog? I'd like to check it out. I'm always interested in learning more about iWeb to improve my blogs. Mine are: http://www.hoopography.com and http://www.wnysportscards.com
