How to embed a flash video player in iWeb?

I'm using this open source video player:
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/extras/readme.html#installing
I've customized it here:
http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/flvplayer.html
I'm trying to imbed it in an iWeb page using the "HTML Snippet" feature.
This is the code that is recommended:
<embed src="http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/flvplayer.swf" width="600" height="600
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage=
"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
.... but I'm left with only a "white box" with the rotating circle...
any ideas?

Here is an updated version of the question which will hopefully make it useful for further users of iWeb... once an answer is found....
I'm trying to embed this player into myspace and also into iWeb 2.0 as a "web widget":
http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/flvplayer.html
This HTML will make it work in Myspace and iWeb 2.0:
<object enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/flvplayer.swf" height="300" width="312">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/flvplayer.swf" />
<param name="allownetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="enableJSURL" value="false" />
<param name="enableHREF" value="false" />
<param name="saveEmbedTags" value="true" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="..FFFFFF" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="scale" value="showall" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/playlist.xml&autostart=true&lightcolor=0xffcc00" />
...BUT ..... no menu shows up to select the video...
I think the problem is that it's running the SWF file OK, but in order for it to work properly, it has to read data from this HTML file http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/flvplayer.html
and this XML file: http://www.perlstrax.com/alexanderperls_musicvideos/playlist.xml
Here is a recent discussion on placing these players in myspace:

Can anyone tell me how to embed a flash video stream in html5

Can anyone tell me how to embed a flash video stream in html5. I have a video stream but would love to be bale to get it to run on ipads so would like to know how to embed the flash video stream in html5 http://www.ravedance.net

Gary, thank you for responding:
1) I know my "profile" indicates I'm on Mountain Lion. I have not figured out how to update that. I am using Yosemite and Keynote Version 6.5.2 on a 15" Macbook-Pro (tell me how to update my profile, please - nothing I click on opens any kind of "edit" options)
2) My 20 sec video does play in Quicktime. I find nothing in the Quicktime Inspector about deselecting "start movie on click."
3) in my slide presentation I can insert the video on a slide okay and if I click on it can get it to play, But I cannot seem to get it to play after a transition automatically. Maybe it cannot be done. Obviously I would like the entire presentation to play automatically without clicking on or between slides.
Again, thank you for you kind help!

How to embed a flash video into a logo?

Hello,
I'm new to flash and dreamweaver and I'm slowly trying to learn it. I have created a a flash logo for my website (http://www.emorgenstern.com) and I'm trying to extend the background color to cover the rest of top.
In dreamweaver I have put the embedded flash video in a div class and modified the class to extend the entire length with the proper background color. In dreamweaver everything looks right but when I upload the actual .html and .css file it does not appear right. The actual testing link is http://emorgenstern.com/emorgen/emorgen/index.html
Below is the code for those sections.
Here is the .html file
<div class= "banner">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="468" height="60"   title="banner">
<param name="movie" value="../banner.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="LOOP" value="false" />
<embed src="../banner.swf" width="468" height="60" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>
</div>
Here is the .css file
div.banner {
     margin:50px 0px 10px 0px;
     padding:17px 0px 0px 20px;
     border-style:solid;
     border-color:black;
     border-width:1px 0px;
     line-height:11px;
     background-color:#eee;
     width:100%;
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Your code is kind of messy. Use the validation tools below and fix reported errors.
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
Where did you get the CSS style sheet you're using? It looks like an experiment, and not a real world CSS. You might be better off using one of the the pre-built CSS layouts that ships with DW CS4.
Anyway, to answer you question. In your HTML, move your flash code between this:
<div id="Header">
and this
</div>
In your CSS, change all this:
/*#Header {
    margin:50px 0px 10px 0px;
    padding:17px 0px 0px 20px;
    height:33px;
    border-style:solid;
    border-color:black;
    border-width:1px 0px;
    line-height:11px;
    background-color:#eee;
    voice-family: "\"}\"";
    voice-family:inherit;
    height:14px;
body>#Header {height:14px;}
to this:
#Header {
    width: 100%;
    background-color:#eee;

How to create a multi video player with iMovie

Hey folks, I have a great wee QT player for my daughter's website which was generated for me by iMovie export. Lovely.
But- folk are wanting to see more videos of her singing.
Question- how to generate a multi-video player using the same principles (and same simple design)? One like those generated by YouTube's facility to create a list of videos to appear in a single player, or where it is possible to just click a "next" tab? Here is the page I am referring to: http://www.brigidmhairi.com/music.html
Just to clarify- I am not wanting to use the YouTube player because it is a bit fussy and doesn't look right on the site in mind. The QT one has no borders etc and therefore suits me better. Besides- the 320 format is perfect.
Hope someone can help me, thank you SO much.

Hi HighlanderIn ..
who else than me.. ?
this is no iMovie related question.. that is
a) html/CSS-coding or
b) some flash-app
read out the code on your linked website ... :
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/33/videogallerywidget.swf
pageobject_id=artistxxx bla bla bla /><br/>
<a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/main/artist_feature/widgets">
bla bla bla ..
</noscript>
.. going to that website reverbnation.com, it looks like they offer, as YT, a video-hosting service plus that 'special' player as a flash-code you can embed in your website (as the YTplayer) ..
so, here are your options:
• use this service.. costs? no idea, research on your own ..
• use flash, encode yourself.. perhaps, you can find some 'ready made' coding?
• *what website-maker do you use?* iWeb offers a template for videos.. many on one preview-page, 'click' creates a bigger version for playback ..
.. as mentioned: less iMovie, more 'website creation' ..

Flash Video Player Need Help

Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me. I am going to school and I have an action scripting class. For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.
We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck.
Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.controls.List;
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source= "fashion.flv";
addChild(vid);
vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
vid.x=100;
vid.y=300;
vid.skinAutoHide="true";
vid.width=500;
vid.height=280;
var vidList:List = new List();
vidList.x= vid.x+10;
vidList.y= 200;
vidList.width=200;
vidList.height=100;
vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
addChild(vidList);
vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
function playVid(e:Event):void{
vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Here is a screenshot of the errors I am receiving.
Please help me
thanks

I don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name. Like this:
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
     import fl.controls.List;
     public class Main extends Sprite {
          public function Main() {
               var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
               vid.source= "fashion.flv";
               addChild(vid);
               vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
               vid.x=100;
               vid.y=300;
               vid.skinAutoHide="true";
               vid.width=500;
               vid.height=280;
               var vidList:List = new List();
               vidList.x= vid.x+10;
               vidList.y= 200;
               vidList.width=200;
               vidList.height=100;
               vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
               addChild(vidList);
               vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
          function playVid(e:Event):void{
               vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with:   Main
Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv.

Hyperlink to Flash Video Player

video player playlist? I'm using the following Flash video
player/pplaylist application. Any help would be great!!!
Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Progressive Flash Video

Without seeing this is a guess, but if you are linking to the
swf directly
then that is what happens. Create a new page with the movie
on it and link
to it, then it should size correctly.

Controlling the Dreamweaver Flash Video Player

Hi all,
I'm using the Flash video player that comes with Dreamweaver
CS3 (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf) to play a video on one of my web
pages, and it works fine. However, I'd also like to be able to
control playback using some HTML buttons below the video. I've been
Googling for ages now looking for documentation on how to use
JavaScript to control the player, but I can't find anything. Does
anyone know where I could find it?
Thanks,
Russ

Html doesn't control flash players. The skins, controls,
buttons, etc are
referenced by the SWF file. You would have better control
over your video
player if you compiled the FLV/SWF in a Flash program instead
of DW.

Tracking via google analytics & Flash Video Player Component

Hi,
I'm trying to track when a user plays a video on our home
page. I'm using the standard Flash Video Player component and
Dreamweaver to hook it up. In order to get the player to call
Google analytics on play I think that I need the FLA for this
player but I can't seem to figure out how to access it. Any
suggestions?
Thanks

Flash video player is crashing my computer.

Since the end of March my computer has been crashing / hard shutdown whenever I play a flash video on sites like Hulu, CBS, Youtube and so on, -if the video has HD options.
I did a fresh Win 64 install on this PC in January.
This has not happened on this PC before
I tried
- on new IE and FF
- uninstalling a reinstalling flash, and installing an older version (v10)
- uninstalling and reinstalling video card drivers to older versions
- running it with no firewall and/or no antivirus enabled (MSSE)
- a mem test
to no avail, everything ( games, adobe reative suite, MS offive) works perfectly except for flash video player.
I have
Win 64
AMD 62X2 Core 6000+ 3GHz
8 GB ram
Nvidia 460 GTX
WDC 2TB Cache 64MB

Flash Video Player, PHP, and XML

I'm the visual designer for a web site "Global Oneness
Project" (
http://www.globalonenessproject.org/videos.php
) that's currently "streaming" progressive download quicktime
movies. The individual video pages (where you view a video) is
currently a php template that calls a MP4 from an XML file. Our
goal is to switch the embedded quicktime videos to embedded Flash
videos that play progressive download movies.
Ideally I would like to create a single Flash Video player
(SWF) thats embedded in a single php template (video.php), but will
play different videos depending on what state of the php is being
called. Basically, I want the site to work exactly like it does now
but with Flash instead of Quicktime.
I'm assuming that this will be created with some combination
of an external "AS" file, the XML data and the PHP logic but can't
even begin to get my mind around what needs to be done.
I found a few examples of how to play multiple videos in a
single player, but all of the examples use a playlist that's
embedded in the SWF. The video player will only be used for player
control and the user will choose the movie by selecting the correct
PHP page within the HTML.
I'll be thankful for any direction you all can give or even a
Flash developer who would be able to take this project on.
Thanks,
Shawn

yes, it's possible. and there are some similarities with an xml image gallery. the main difference would be using something like an flvplayback component to display the videos as opposed to using a target movieclip to display the large image in an image gallery.

Best export from FCP4.5 for conversion to Flash video player?

Hi,
I'm prepping a 5 min edit production for the best web presentation w/o excessive file size / loading time. The production has a lot of subtle detail & layered images so there a lot of opportunities for this to turn to mud (shot on low grade digital consumer video camera & also in lower light settings).
I exported in H264 at med quality & got a good looking 75 meg file. Tried uploading to YouTube, fearing the worst, and it actually created something decent from that file. I could just link that embedded file to the intended website, but I dont want that YouTube logo in the corner. I'd rather recreate what they do in Flash w/o the logo.
Does anyone have info on what YouTube does to the videos it processes into those flash video player files? Compression or resolution settings? It looks like going that route will give better results that can be universally viewed than the standard mpeg route. (file size & universal viewing on all platforms are my only reason not to post in H264).
Are these issues best solved going from a big FCP export and handled with settings in Flash? Or is there some export choice in FCP that will give best (size & res) quailty with minimal influence needed from Flash?
I've tried Compressor but havent been able to get any results from it. I just get errors that I dont understand. If thats the solution, I'll dig into that further, but would appreciate any tips / guidance.
thanks

Insert Yume ads in flash video player

Hi,
I am working on a flash video player where i want to insert
yume ads. The sdk and integration guide provided by the yume people
is not that good. Can anyone help me out on this?

I'm having same inconvenience while integrating YuMe Ads Module in my project.
YuMe's documentation is really bad & pretty confusing.
I would like any helping blog post or forums thread elaborating the solution in this regard.
Here Now I have done some manipulations with code in AS2 based player.
please have a look at it. I was trying to run it locally while connected to internet so it may load ads from the online source defined. But it does not load anything. I have also made the controls btns hidden, as i dont need them.
I dont know if I just need to upload these files on web server and test it online to get it working. Not Sure.
Any help will be appreciated.
