Future Flash Video --wish.

I am quite a big fan of the Flash application. Excuse me if
you find too many wishes irritating. This will be my 2nd and last
post to your board I figure.
I know a college professor, who is a big believer in the
future of Flash video.. I personally, am looking -forward- to a
possible Flash Video codex (codec?) maybe something similar to the
technolgies used for uTube.. I would look forward to a 'futuristic'
Flash Video codec where video could easily fill a typical computer
screen. When would such a technology develop- where such as that,
would be possible.

Cp4 - Retain more than 1 Flash Video in slide to view independently

I have 3 rollover slidelets that each have a Flash video in each. The slidelet that contains the flash video is 'not visable' - (options properties).
The concept: The user hovers the mouse over one of three buttons. When finding the one to play the button is clicked to displayed the slidelet and flash video. The user then clicks on the video playbar to run the video. I 'loop' the video so that the video stays within the slide. I now want to select another clip, so I pause the open video and then click on another button. What happens is that this action closes the slide and moves onto the next slide.
I want to allow the user to select any video clip and play them at any time without closing the slide and moving to the next slide.
Slide 1 showing the positioning of the buttons and rollover slidelets containing the flash videos
Slide 2 shows the published slide ready for user activity
Kind regards,

Hi there
When you insert a Rollover Slidelet you get two objects on the stage. Just click OK on that dialog you posted and you will see. One object is the area your user mouses over. The other area presents what the user sees. The slidelet area has its own Timeline. You click the Slidelet area and it gains focus. You then insert the objects into this area.

Flash Video Crash Frequency Becoming Alarming

I know that there is a final push to get FP 9 out the door by
the end of the month. However, I have to say that the frequency
with which my browsers are crashing, predominantly when the content
is Flash Video, is giving me some serious cause for alarm. In a
browser like Firefox, where there is one process for every window
you have open, losing multiple windows worth of work is immensely
frustrating. I have submitted this same issue via the Wish Form
several times as well, so this isn't the first I'm noting this.
Here's my (seemingly standard) setup:
Windows XP Professional with SP2, fully patched
Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Firefox 1.5.0.4
Flash Player 9, beta 3 (IE: Version 9,0,0,296, FF: Version
9.0 b296)
Major commercial sites where the browser tends to crash:
CNN.com
ESPN.com
In both cases, it is almost invariably any time one of the
Flash Video ads for Apple's new Mac campaign appears. Further, I've
noted that it gets to the point where the video looks to be done
loading and is about to play back. I went to a second machine that
had FP 8 installed, and the video played fine.
I'm a huge fan of the improvements that FP 9 is offering for
developers, but if I can't achieve stability accessing very common
web sites, I can't ask my customers to upgrade so that they can use
my Flex 2 apps....that just won't fly.
I certainly don't mean to sound alarmist, but I know the
release date is near and so far I'm not

The Apple Ad Played in Quick Time for me and the CNN video
did not crash. Do you have a specific path to a specific video you
can send as an example?
Thanx,
-Ken

Disappearing page and flash video in iweb????????

Hello Everyone! I have a question --- Is it at all possible to have a blank black page appear when i go to my website and have a flash video play on it, then when it is done playing have it disappear and have the main page showing with the links on it to go to the different pages of my website? If so, how do i go about it?

Hello MacAVUser08,
You can have your page load up with the Flash video, for sure. You just have to have your Flash video living on a server that supports .swf files.
This explanation should help -
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Movies.html
Now, in terms of your Flash movie going away, and having the other page with the links appear on it...??
Yyyeeeaaahhhh...... I am not exactly sure how. More than likely, there is some either Java script code, or HTML code out there that can handle this. The issue you may run in to is that you are dealing with a Flash file - to begin with. You may run into compatibility issues. Just a head's up.
When your Flash file finishes, you could have a link pop up (either within the Flash file itself, or right below it, as an HTML hyperlink), that will direct you to the page that you wish. This, I know, for sure will work. The other has not only a greater learning curve to it, but is more shaky.
All the best!
Sincerely,
Daniel Louis Rappaport

Flash Video Lost when Published

I included a flash video in my captivate project. It looks fine in the preview. When I published my project the flash video does not play it just displays a blank slide. I appreciate any advice.

Hi there
Where are you playing the file from? Did you copy it to a server or are you testing on your own PC and seeing the issue?
If you copied to a server, did you remember to copy the FLV file?

Flash Video (FLV)

I inserted a Flash video into a slide, but the video will not
loop or auto rewind even after I have selected the "auto rewind"
button. Any advice about how to get the video to loop or auto
rewind?
Thanks for your help again!
Dean

Hi Dean
I'm wondering if it's because your .FLV file needs metadata
added to it. You may wish to review fellow Community Expert and
Instructor John Daigle's site
ShowMeTheDemo and see if you
can glean any information there.
Cheers... Rick

Flash Video Support?

Hi all,
The help file says you can insert Flash video into Keynote '09, but it doesn't acknowledge .swf, .flv or .f4v. So, does 09 really support flash?
Thanks.

Well, I'm not sure why it works, but it does. I have Flip4Mac installed, but it does not say anything about .flv files. I have Apple's MPEG player installed, but it doesn't say anything about ,flv files. Of course, the Keynote help file does not show .flv as a file format as one that works. So I wish I could better identify what is different about my software that makes this work.

Update for Insert Flash Video command

I looked at DW for the very first time, having recently
upgraded all my hardware and software. I now have the full Master
Collection - very exciting. Opened DW with great trepidation after
a lifetime with my beloved GoLive and was confronted with the
strong recommendation to do an update to protect against
insecurities arising with the Insert Flash Video Command.
Eventually I printed out the instructions provided in the technote
and followed them to the letter. All went well until the
verification stage. The technote tells me that the updated files
should have a creation date of 15th January 2008. Mine was 9th
January. I just want to know if this matters? Do I need to repeat
the whole procedure as the instructions tell me I should if the
files are not updated. In fact they have updated but just not to
the correct date. And why should it turn out any differently if I
do it again? I am puzzled.
I have obviously never used the Insert Flash video command
since I've never even used DW itself so maybe I didn't even need to
do the update at all in the first place anyway. But I thought I'd
better, in case I used the command at some time in the future,
although the possibility of me using something so technical seems
remote at this stage. (I am yet to learn Flash.)
I updated both DW and Contribute as suggested in spite of not
even knowing what Contribute is for yet.

The "Security Update Available" still shows on my welcome
screen, even after updating it.

Flash Video Playback problem in CS4/CS5

I need to put a Flash Video on my website, embedded in one of the existing html pages.
When my developer puts together a Flash Video in Flash CS4 or CS5 using ActionScript 3, the video does not play - t just keeps buffering (showing a striped appearance on the seek bar) and will not play unless I refresh the browser.
I've tried copying the code from the html page that came with the set of swf and flv files and that doesn't work either.
Just inserting the swf file into the web page like we used to do in CS3 and earlier does not wor.
I noticed that now with ActionScript 3 there is no ACRunActiveContent.js file.
Videos created using CS3 and ActionScript 2 seem to work just fine on web pages.
Wonder what i can do to use CS4 and CS5 videos and have them play on html pages?
Any ideas anyone?

Just to clarify:
Creating a Flash Video swf in CS5 (or even CS4) with ActionScript 3 requires the video to be embedded in the web page a bit differently than we were used to with CS3 and AS2.
While the newer versions of Flash do use a different method (using swfobject) when "Publishing" a Flash .swf, it is NOT required to do so. In fact neither swfobject nor ACRun... are required to display Flash of any version (AS1, 2, or 3) on a Web page. The simple single object method will work just fine:
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
<param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
<param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>
Both ACRun and swfobject are "Flash Detection" methods used to display some alternative content if Flash is not detected... they are NOT needed to simply display the Flash .swf.
However, you can't use half ACRun code and half swfobject code....it must be either one or the other... and either would display AS3 players just fine.... as would the single object method.

Firefox returns to regular view when I pause a fullscreen flash video

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with Firefox.
Whenever I view a flash video fullscreen and then I pause it, it switches off to regular view after a few seconds. Safari or *shudder* Chrome doesn't do this at all.
Anyone know why its doing this?
P.S. I tried disabling ALL of my addons but it still has that problem. I even tried reinstalling Firefox while deleting the old one and starting from scratch....that didn't go over so well either. Wish I saved my bookmarks at least. ouch...

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Flash Video not showing on Server

Hi, wonder if anyone can help on this one. Going round in circles. Not sure why, should be simple enough.
I have created a Flash Video in Flash 8 and published and picked up in Dreamweaver 8. Published files were sample.swf, sample.html and SteelExternalAll.swf (skin). Publish settings were: Format - Flash SWF and HTML; default Flash settings with local playback security set to access local files only; default HTML settings.
In Dreamweaver, sample.html is accessed via an iframe in test.php. In Preview mode, everything is as it should be with the Video showing. The problem is, when I upload all the files to the Server, the video is not displayed including the skin. Instead, all I get is the border of the iframe with a red rectangle showing where the video should be.
Hope someone can help. Pulling my hair out on this one and get the feeling there is a simple explanation.
Thank you in advance.

First get the video to play in the web page that you accessing in iframe;
http://79.170.40.41/booksat.com/videos/elaine.html
For testing purposes get rid of all that old, outdated Flash detection code and instead just use:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Elaine</title>
</head>
<body>
<object data="elaine.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="345"><
param name="movie" value="elaine.swf">
</object>
</body>
</html>
No skin but you should at least see the video... worry about the skin later....
But you also need to make sure that you have all the files uploaded, the .swf, the skin .swf and the .flv video file and that they are pathed correctly. Keep in mind that pathing to the Flash assets need to be relative to the Web page that the .swf video player is on, NOT the physical location of the .swf or the .flv file.
But get the video playing correctly on the elaine.html before you consider putting it in an iframe.
For a quick review on pathing Flash:
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, 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.

Flash video can not be loaded

Using Captivate 6, when I make any changes to an already published project that contains flash video, upon republishing I get a pop up stating "The flash video can not be loaded. The output may not be proper." It only happens when I make a change to a previously published project. Every time I encounter this problem, my only fix is to delete each flv and re-insert the video, and republish. Any ideas?

Hi there
You say it's intermittent. The bane of any troubleshooting.
Have you asked your server peeps to get involved?

Flash Video Issues In Safari 5 w/ 10.1 Flash Plugin

Hey Folks-
I've tried everything I can think of and read everything I could find, but I am still finding that there are a variety of flash-based video sites with content that is not loading. Some flash video loads, some does not. The pattern is not at all clear, but for example, the flash video on PBS.com and ESPN.com always fails to load. This development seems to be new to Flash 10.1, but does not replicate in any other browser.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash, repaired permissions, cleaned out the plugins folder, reapplied the OS combo update, etc, etc. No change.
Below are the errors that show up in the activity log associated with a few failed flash video loads- I'm not really clear on how the plugin works on the backend, so I am not sure I can make heads or tails of these, but I knew some of you would be able to. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks very much!
http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/update/current/install/version .xml10.1.82.76~cpuArchitecture=x86_64&lang=en&os=Mac&osVer=10.6.4&playerType=pl& cpuWordLength=64 (NOT FOUND)
http://www-tc.pbs.org/video/media/images/assets/videos/1397474775/1397474775_Par tnerPlayer.jpg (NOT FOUND)
UPDATE:
When trying to load flash video content on ESPN just now, the video starts to load, then the flash controls disappear and the video just remains black. The browser reports no errors and nothing shows up in the activity log.

This may be applicable to your problem:
Update 10.6.4 included an out-of-date version of FlashPlayer*. Try deleting it and installing the latest one from Adobe even if it has the same version number as the one you have:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
* To avoid this situation in the future, Apple recently announced that Macs would in future not have Flash Player pre-installed, precisely to avoid this situation, saying:
We're happy to continue to support Flash on the Mac, and the best way for users to always have the most up to date and secure version is to download it directly from Adobe.
They also noted that this will be happening across all Macs in the future, though there may be some models still in the channel with Flash pre-installed.

Solution to: CPU slows after playing Flash video in Firefox

This is a follow-up to the discussion in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956602
entitled: "Since upgrade, FIrefox 20 and Adobe flash player 11 eat up all my CPU wieh playing streaming video." I would post it there, but since that thread is "archived" I cannot. I wish there was a way that I could get readers of that thread to see this solution.
On September 3, 2013, I posted that this problem had been affecting my Windows 7 64 bit system as well: After playing a Flash video with the latest Firefox and Flash player, my CPU usage was 100% consumed by an unknown process. The only fix was to reboot, and its effects were only temporary, until playing the next flash video.
Yesterday, a routine scan by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) discovered, and recommended removal of, an application called Link Swift, which according to my Control Panel / Programs and Features, had been installed on 9/1/2013. I have no memory of deliberately installing it, and so I let MBAM uninstall it. Since then my system seems to behave normally again.
For more information see http://malwarefixes.com/remove-pup-optional-linkswift/
I hope this is helpful.
- Rich

Sigh. No, it's not fixed. Despite my optimistic report of yesterday, after a few more web sites, a few more videos, the CPU utilization climbed to 100% of each of my four processors, my system became unusable and had to be re-booted. It is as if Firefox gradually consumes some resource which is eventually depleted, and not restored even when Firefox quits.
