I am trying to loop a swf or flv in DM... 2 days of reading and no luck

I purchased a flash file of an animated flag. The artist did a nice job of making the loop pretty seamless. Here's the file:
http://videohive.net/item/us-american-flag-loop/18643
I only recieved a mov file. I converted it to swf and flv. I have the complete Adobe CS3 Edition including Premier and Flash. I also downloaded some other free converters.
I have spent two days reading web forums on how to make that flag loop in DW. I can't get it going and I'm pretty frustrated. I am a beginner by the way.
I tried the autoloop & autoplay buttons. I tried entering the parameter of "Loop" = true, I've looked at the code a little to make sure everything related to loop, autoplay, auto-rewind was set to true and a whole bunch of other troubleshooting I've read about. It sounds like it has been a problem for others too.
At this point I'm willing to pay in bacon double cheesburgers. If you halp me fix this I'll send some Burger King coupons your way.
Thank you!

Thank you PZ. I did go through the whole tutorial to see if I was missing something. No luck yet.
The file I recieved was a mov file (I'm not dealing with a fla file at all). I'm opening the mov file in Flash CS3 and convert and export as flv or swf. Iv'e tried both.
The only thing I have not done yet was try uploading my file to my remote hosting service to see if a browser will loop it there. I've been doing my previewing in DW CS3 and hit the "view in browser" button.
If I upload the file to my remote server, would anybody be willing to look at the code and give me a hand in figuring out why it won't loop?
Thank you and I have read all the past questions about this issue on the Adobe forum's and have tried everything I can possible find.

Stop Looping in SWF Loader

Hi i'm new to AS, I am trying to use the AS3 Loader class to
pull in a SWF file that should only play once.
How do I get this thing to stop looping?!
Code is below.

you must explicitly stop the video stream. if you're using
the flvplayback class to start the video's play, you'll need to
apply the stop() method to that class instance.
you can access the main timeline of your external swf by
referencing the content property of your loader (and casting that
as a movieclip). from there, use the path to your flvplayback
instance and apply a stop() when the playheadPercentage of your
flvplayback instance reaches 100.

Trying to loop/repeat a video for a continuous presentation on ipod touch

If anyone could help me out here, I'm trying to display a video from the ipod touch on a projector, it's just a 1 minute loop and so far I have no luck trying to get it to loop. I have tried to set it to repeat in photo libraries and play but it still never starts over. I have tried an app called CWG's Video Loop Presenter which seems to work but only on the ipod, and doesn't project the video into the projector. If you guys could help me out then that would be great. Thank you.

Thank you for the help, I resolved it a few minutes ago by making the video into a music video through the Get Info option and it is now in my Music app and I'm able to loop it just like I would loop a regular song.
Thanks!

I'm trying to put a swf file on a dvd that will autostart using OS X

I'm trying to put a swf file on a dvd that will autostart using OS X and Director MX. I imported one swf file that has nested movie clips.
Some of them play and some don't.
Any suggestions?

The swf file runs fine on a computer. But now they want me to export it as a .mov and put it on a dvd that customers without computers can put in a tv/dvd player. They want it to auto start. When I export it as .mov, QuickTime only plays the first 20 seconds and not all of the nested movie clips play. They don't want it to play in a QuickTime player. Do I need to upgrade to QuickTime Pro? Any suggestions?Thanks

There is no autostart or autorun in OS X. Can you give more detail on the problem with the flash swf files?

Trying to loop through records

Hi
I trying to loop through my records and write to a database each time, but my code only seems to write the first time through...
          //check for the stock levels...
          Iterator stockLevels = getItems().iterator();
          pstmt = dbConn.prepareStatement(sql_bundle.getString("findStock"));
          while (stockLevels.hasNext()) {
               CartItem stockL = (CartItem) stockLevels.next();
               pstmt.setString(1, stockL.getProduct().getISBN());
               ResultSet rscp = pstmt.executeQuery();
               if(rscp.next()){
                    if (rscp.getInt("STOCK_LEVEL") > stockL.getQuantity()) {
                         int newAmount = rscp.getInt("STOCK_LEVEL") - stockL.getQuantity();

My ipad is on an infinite loop. I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started. I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!

my ipad is on an infinite loop. I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started. I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!
I even tried some hints posted for ios6 (turn off Ipad, holding home button and plugging in power cord at the same time and then releasing the home button)
I did manage to get a different screen that shows the itunes icon and a power cord, but nothing happens.

You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Looping a streaming flv movie, but loop to halfway through flv

Hello,
I've managed to loop my progressively streaming flv with both the following approaches (both gained from these forums - so thank you very much!)
Giving my FLV an instance name of "vid" and then adding this to an Action layer:
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
vid.play();
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();
Or simply attaching the following to the FLV itself:
on (complete){
this.autoRewind=true;
this.play();
However, what I really want to do is have it loop back to a point, say, 5 seconds into the flv. I've tried gotoAndPlay instead of just play, but of course the swf only has the one frame so I don't think frame numbers are the way forward? I've been seeing "cuepoints" and "NetStream" coming up in various searches I've done - is that the way forward? They both seem quite complicated for something that I've almost solved using either of the above.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

If it's scripted to be initially paused, you can simply
position it in
the score to be off stage, insert a key frame at the frame
were position
moves to display location.

Convert .swf to .flv

I would like to figure out how to convert a .swf file created
with Captivate to .flv. .flv seems to intergrate better with
Dreamweaver. You can simply insert .flv with Dreamweaver, but this
does not seem to be the case with .swf.
I have tried to import the .swf file into Flash 8 and to use
the flash video encoder, but have not had success.
Any help will be appreciated.
John

Your best bet is to continue your efforts to import to Flash
8, unless the Captivate project contains some critical objects that
are not supported in Flash (some are, some aren't).
If you arre having trouble getting Flash 8 to read Captivate
files, you might
try
this link. Captivate was released to be compatible with Flash
2004MX, and the workaround for Flash 8 users is at the link.
BTW, an alternative to FLV is to use the SWF files right from
Captivate, but in order for them to "stream" well, you will have to
keep them compact - an art that most Captivate users haven't
learned - or even heard about - in the days of hte 1200x900 movie .
. . sigh . . .
Hope this helps.

Converting swf to flv to take advantage of streaming

The problem
My captivate 6 SWF is set to start playing after 1% download is achieved. You can see the movie at www.gmatfix.com/swf/app_videointro.swf. My site uses the standard ActionScript3 Loader class to load the SWF, but in so doing, the entire file gets loaded before it starts playing, regardless of the preloader percentage I set. If you clear your cache and go to http://www.gmatfix.com/#/app/videointro, you will notice that there is a significantly longer delay before the file is available for playing. I would like to avoid this delay.
Failed Solution
I would like to convert the SWF to an FLV file since these (I believe) can be played in embedded flash content even while they are still being downloaded. I removed the only interaction from the SWF (a couple of buttons on the last slide), and the advanced interactions panel (F9) in Captivate shows no interaction on any slide. I then tried to follow the instructions from Adobe on how to get Captivate output to FLV by publishing the project as F4V and using Adobe Media Encoder to convert F4V to FLV. However, in Media publishing options I don't see the F4V media type; only EXE, APP, and MP4. I tried dropping the SWF directly into Adobe Media Encoder, but the SWF is not compatible with that application.
What is the best way to convert an SWF (contains no interactions besides the playbar) to FLV?
Thanks

Hi emmision and welcome to our community
Do you have Flash handy and are you comfortable using it? If
so, you might try bringing the Captivate into Flash and pumping out
the .FLV from there.
Just a thought... Rick

Hello to Kappy, I'm glad I saw your answer. I've been going crazy trying to get some *wmv files to my iPod Touch. Had even purchased 4Media Converter. It said it converted all 3, but only one actually played on my iPod. I downloaded the HandBrake program and got all 3 of my *wmv files converted and onto my iPod Touch in no time flat. And they all played. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Diane

Hey there Logic Pro21,
It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
Open the Mac App Store
Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flashplayer. With the Reader, I was able to find a different install

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flash player. With the Reader, I was able to find a different installation link using the troubleshooting guide. I cannot find the same with flash player. Please tell me how to install Flash player because there is a website that I cannot even view without it. BTW That is annoying that I cannot even see the website without flash player
my system is XP

Use these installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X
For Adobe Reader go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
