HTML path to video skins

I have a simple page in HTML with an embedded
movie.swf file and the support files (
AC_RunActiveContent.js, skin.swf, movie.flv).
Everything works fine if I publish it with the html file and
movie.swf are in the same directory. But I'd like to keep
all the movies in a separate directory (at the same level as the
html file). When I publish it, the video works fine but the
navigation bar (skin) is missing.

Thanks Tom, That was the "easy" answer I was looking for.
For those who don't use Dreamweaver, I published everything
in a directory named "video", then moved the html document out of
that directory and changed the following (the use and non-use of /
or .swf extensions can be confusing) :
- in SC_FL_RunContent:
'src', 'video/filename'
'base', 'video'
'movie', 'video/filename'
- in object tag:
<param name="base" value="video" />
<param name="movie" value="video/filename.swf" />
<embed src="video/filename.swf" ...
The "allowFullScreen" problem was unrelated. Apparently,
transparent windows can't go full screen.

Problem with video skin doesn't display on html although the video played normally.

I used "Adobe media encoder" to convert a video file to "FLV" format, so that I can import to "Adobe Flash CS5" . I have chosen all the component buttons and tried to "publish preview" on to html but the video skin doesn't display although the video does. Two swf file skin file + fla + swf movie + html are all in the same folder.
Please help....I have tried to fix this problem for 10 hours already and still have no luck, tried to search online for solution but counldn't find anything.

I already gave you the answer to your problem and now here is
the proof:
http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin/dancin.swf
Notice the skin?
http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin.html
Notice the lack of a skin?
This is because the skin is in the wrong directroy. If I put
the skin in the same folder as the HTML file, not the swf, it
works. So if you would do what I said a few posts ago and make this
work:
http://www.mikelrouse.com/SteelExternalAll.swf
Then your problem would be solved. The problem is that the
skin path must be defined by the html file calling the swf file,
not the location of the swf file.

Video Skin not working in embedded SWF

Are there issues with using a video skin on an swf that sits on a web page? Specifically, I have an swf that has a FLVPlayback component. The skin and its path are specified in the Parameters tab; autohide set to true.
When the FLV in the swf plays, the skin appears on a mouse_over, as it should be. However, if the swf has the same dimensions as the flv, and the mouse rolls away, then it appears to me that the swf never "gets the message" that the mouse is no longer over it... and therefore the skin does not hide. Is this normal?
If so, what's the work around? Designing the swf to be larger than the flv? I'd rather not, as that makes for some un-elegant (is that a word?) designing.
Thanks,
David

Fixed it.
var vSound1 = new Sound(this);
var vSound2 = new Sound(this);
var vSound3 = new Sound(this);
playSound1 = function () {
this.vSound1.start();
on (press) {
this.playSound1();
}

Does JMF Support multilingual absolute paths for video playback?

Hi everyone,
I hope I can find some answer here.
Does JMF supports multilingual paths for videos? E.g. I have a video located by the following URL:
G:\video\Stürmische\video.mp4
When I try to open this video by JMF, I get the following Exception: Problem playing video+
javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for :file:/G:/video/Stürmische/video.mp4_
When I use the same video.mp4 file with path containing only simple latin letters, it's played normally.
Is there any problem with JMF regarding to multilingual paths?
Many thanks,
Armine

I assume that it's a JMF cons. and IMHO, multilingual support for video paths/names should be added in it.Several things...
1) JMF is designed to play both local files and RTP/RTSP file sources. As such, it uses URLs as resource locators. It makes perfect sense to make that design decision.
2) URL encoding only allows alphanumeric characters and a handful of special characters. Considering the internet was invented by the United States army and our keyboards don't have those symbols, it makes perfect sense to make that design decision.
3) Most importantly, JMF hasn't been updated since 2002 and development has been completely discontinued... so "multilingual support" won't ever be added to it.
And it isn't multilingual support you're asking for, it's support for non-ASCII characters.
It is my understanding that you can take a path like:
G:\video\Stürmische\video.mp4
Run it through some encoding procedure, and come out with a usable URL like:
G:%5Cvideo%5CSt%FCrmische%5Cvideo.mp4
Which I got by using the encoder on the following website:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm
Coincidentally, had you done the research that I suggested you do, you might have learned that Java already has something built in to handle encoding non-compliant URLs for you.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html
So, I'd expect you could use the URLEncoder class to implement suggestion #3 from my previous post.

Video Skins

Is Adobe doing any work to extend the Flex 2 VideoDisplay
class with more sophisticated controls, similar to what can be done
in DreamWeaver or Flash skins with seek sliders etc ? I realise
could do extend VideoDisplay or VideoPlayer myself, but it would be
nice if there was a simple way to emulate the extensive library of
video skins that come with DreamWeaver & Flash.
Thanks

I have moved this question to the Flex 2 General Discussion
Forum...

Flash video skin issue

I created my flash video with a video skin I selected in CS4 and the skin file shows up in the same folder as the video but when I add the swf file to dreamweaver CS4 the controls that should show up underneath the video are not there. Does anyone have an answer because I'm going crazy.

Yes. All in my flash folder. Skin is call SkinUnderAll.swf. I did notice in Dremweaver that this file does not show up in the code with the rest of the video code. When I add the video swf do I still need to add the skin file also. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to.

Adding extra functions to flash video skin

Is it possible to add an email button or link to a custom
flash video skin, and script it so it only appears at the
conclusion of the video?

Answer: You can add your movieClip or button to FLVPlayBack
component, like i did.
uFlvPlayer.addChild(PlayTime_txt);
It works in FullScreen mode now.

Getting the path right for video skins

I have a progressive video and have added a Flash player skin
to it. So far, I've been able to get it all to show up, when the
playerskin.swf is on the root directory of my host. That is
working. Now I want to put that video in a page on another person's
site, so I furnish them with the Object/Embed code that points to
my video clip. Fine -
But where does the playerskin.swf go then - on their server
or on mine? And where?
Am I missing something - shouldn't I be able to set the
entire path to this player in the .fla file, so that it is
published with the video's .swf file? so that all the correct paths
are in the video clip .swf?
I'm using Flash 8, BTW. Help would be appreciated.

Where will all the file be ? on your server or the person
server ?
if on your server than you must specify in skin path the full
url
http://www.person.com/folder/skin.swf
, else you can upload all to that guy server.

Relative Path for swf skin, is it set by DW or Flash

Hello,
I have a simple video swf file with skin (swf) in my site inside a folder (video folder).
In the video folder there is video.swf, flv file, and skin.swf.
When I test the html file it looks for
siteroot/videofolder/video.swf
siteroot/videofolder/video.flv
But when it looks for skin.swf it looks in the siteroot directory
Does anyone know who sets where the skin.swf path get set?
I publish the files (flash) to right directory.
Thank you in advance
Carlos

Basically not many files, just a temp.html file that calls the
subfolder where the video at.
Here is an example of the temp.html file nothing complicated
inside the videofolder is the swfobject.js & untitled.swf & sking.swf & etc.
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("videofolder/untitled.swf", "myAlternativeContent", "800", "600", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

Is there a way to change the path of the Skin and FLVPlayer .swfs in Dreamweaver?

Hi! I have a simple question that I can't seem to figure out. I know how to insert an flv via dreamweaver and it is very simple
see the code --
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="205" height="250" id="FLVPlayer">
    <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
    <param name="salign" value="lt" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=flash/flashvid eofile&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
    
    <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
    
    
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="205" height="250">
      
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
      <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
      <param name="salign" value="lt" />
      <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=flash/flashvid eofile&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      
      <div>
        <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
        <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
      </div>
      
    </object>
    
</object>
The question I have is... How do you change the path settings for the 2 required swfs (the skin swf and the player)? I would ideally like to have all my flash components including the skin swf and the player swf in the same folder as the flv (rather than have the swfs in the root of the same folder as my html doc), but everytime I try to adjust the path settings of the swfs in the above code I get a white screen.
hope this makes sense and is not confusing...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
-Brian

Hi Cashmoneydonuts,
You can create an animation for this using Edge Animate, and add it to Muse.

Embedded video skins

Embedding video in swf and placing in InDesign for export to
PDF. Don't see a way to include embedded skins with embedded video
to get a single swf to place in InDesign to ultimately get PDF
playback with the skin. Procedure or examples to do this?

Hi Steve
I believe you would do this as follows.
1. Click Project > Skin...
2. In the Skin: drop down, scroll to the bottom of the list
and choose "BMP Playbars".
This should result in a single file that contains the former
version of controls. However, you will also find that Captivate 2
will still output two .SWF files along with the HTML file. If you
upload both the HTML file and the .SWF file to your LMS, you will
need to amend the HTML file so it correctly references only the
base .SWF file. It seems that Captivate 2 will seemingly always
point at the playback control file in the HTML file. The playback
control file then loads up the main .SWF file. Also note that the
HTML file will also contain a differing height statement for the
movie. Presumably this is to account for the added playback
control.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Flash video skins

Are there any plug ins I can use to add more options to the skins that are currently available in CS3? I need a skin that displays UNDER the video, not on top of it and with timing and video length. I am not a programmer, I'm just inserting flash videos into webpages and am stuck with the choices that dreamweaver cs3 provides, non of which is what I need. Please help me!

DW's skin choices are limited because it's not a Flash application. If you're good with Action Script, you could build your own custom player in Flash or you could use any of the pre-built Flash players on the web.

How can I create an HTML gallery for video? (in Lightroom..?)

Hi,
I use Lightroom for photography and am able to create HTML and Flash web galleries using the Web module. I find this very useful. However, my day job requires I shoot video and needs a way to create HTML galleries that will play video (.mov) files when the thumbnail image is clicked. I can import the videos to LR and it creates the gallery happily but only goes as far as showing the thumbnail image. It doesn't handle the video at all it seems.
Is there a way to do this? If not in LR, in Bridge or something else?
Many thanks

You may need JavaScript/HTML5.
The landscape is changing for video including 14k as an advance on 1080p.
LR6 may have some advances, when launched although unlikely to usurp Premiere Pro/After Effects/Speed Grade.

Problems with html code for video

Hello
I followed this instructions to add my video:
- Upload the files in Muse < Add Files for upload ( These would add the files to your assets )
- Object > Insert HTML :
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="assets/video.mp4"/>
</video>"
My actual code is:
<video width="720" height="576" controls>
<source src="assets/Gelo.mp4"/>
</video>
And here's the problem when I preview:
Can someone help? What's wrong?
Thank you

Hi
Please check if the files are correctly added to your site, also the format should be supported by browser so you can check with different video formats.
Thanks,
Sanjit
