Importing existing flash video files??

howdy
quick question. if you import existing flash video files into an encore project, will this help reduce the final render time? or will encore rerender the existing flash video files?
cheers
angus

Encore CS3 won't import FLV files. You must render the project to Flash.
You may want to file a feature request at Adobe's support page asking for support for Flash-ready assets, to eliminate the need to transcode in Encore.

Importing existing only WAR file in NWDS for deployment on WAS

Hi,
I have WAR file created on the eclispe platform by someone. I am required to import that into NWDS and embed into EAR and then deploy on WAS.
However, i found no direct way to import existing only WAR file into NWDS. Simply importing a file in the web module project will only copy the contents, without that getting extracted.
Kindly let me know in detail, how to acheive the same.
Regards,
Apeksha

Hi,
don't worry. It will work. If done this with a Web Application I received from a vendor. Normally it is deployed on Tomcat but we had to integrate the functionality into SAP Portal / SAP Web AS.
So I just created an empty Web Module Project and the Enterprise Project, linked them and built the EAR.
I just replaced the empty WAR in the generated EAR with the WAR I received from my Vendor and deployed it on SAP J2EE using Visual Admin.
In general you should be able to deploy every WAR on every APP Server with a servlet engine that conforms the SUN J2EE Specifications (SAP J2EE does)!
Does this mean that Web module project is never executed, since that WAR added in the EAR is only getting executed?
I don't really understand this question? The result of your Web Module Built is the WAR file. By linking it to your EAR you just achieve that the WAR File is put into EAR when you build the EAR. Since your Web Module Project has the same name as your WAR File (I hope it does) you just pretend that the WAR File you are putting in the EAR replacing the empty one was the one that was built within NWDS.
The Web Module is the one that is being executed after deployment. It contains all the Code. The Enterprise App is just a wrapper around it. I don't know why it is not possible to directly deploy a WAR File to J2EE.
It could be that you get some problems with Libraries in your Web App that also exist on J2EE (e.g. Java Mail)
I had the problem with Java Mail. The Version in WebApp was newer than the one used in J2EE so some functionality did not work at the beginning. Since there seems to be no way to tell the J2EE Classloader to load the Child Libraries first instead of parent I had to replace the mail.jar in SAP J2EE with my own one.
You will probably not even face such a problem so just ignore it for now!!
Unpack the WAR to some folder in your local filesystem using a ZIP Program. Then open your File Browser (e.g. Windows Explorer if you are on Windows) and put your NWDS besides it. Then just drag and drop the files from your File Explorer to NWDS using the Resource Perspective (as described above)
It is some manual work but there is no other way around this if you want to build your Web App in NWDS in order to avoid exchanging the WAR in your EAR everytime you deploy it!
If you have further questions let me know
Cheers

HT3775 How can I open a flv (flash video) file on my iMAC OS Snow Leopard??

Flash video file not loading

Hi,
I'm having a problem getting some flash video files to load.
So far it's affecting 2 files located on these pages:
Martin
O'Brien movie and
John
Gormley movie
The .flv files are being hosted on amazon s3. I have done
several things so far to try to figure out why they aren't loading:
* Having the .swf file in the same folder as the web page
(doesn't work)
* Inserting a different .flv file from a different folder in
amazon s3 (doesn't work)
* Changing file permissions (doesn't work)
* Linking to the .flv file in same manner from a different
site on same ISP (video does work)
* Embedding .swf file in a html file instead of a php file
(doesn't work)
I can only guess that it's something specific to the
www.bmfconferences.com site. As I said i've tried the same .flv
file on a different site with the same ISP (it says Bruce Robinson
but it's the John Gormley video file (
John
Gormley movie on different site) and this works, but I don't
know what else to look for to get the files to work on the bmf
site.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Louise.

Hi All
I found the solution!... I had to add the MIME type .flv =
video/x-flv to my web server (Windows 2003).
Thank anyway

Converting a flash video file to work with in FCE

Does anyone know how to grab a flash video file off the web and convert it to a format that can be edited in FCE 2.0.3? Thanks

Generally Flash video is streamed off a server and is not downloadable as some QuickTime files are.

Importing a Flash Video created from a DVD file into a presentation

We have a DVD recording that we converted to various formats, including SWF, AVI and FLA/FLV. We want to use our LMS to track who has watched the video so we hoped to use a Capitvate Presentation and the SCORM feature. I created a new presentation and used the Insert Flash Video feature. The Flash object appears on the screen but it won't play neither after publishing nor will it preview in Browser. I can play it in a plain HTML file, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem wth the FLV file itself. I also tried using the Insert Animation with the SWF version and it just hangs up Captivate and still nothing happens. Clearly I am missing some critical step for importing video and while I've scoured the forum, I just can't seem to find a solution. Any assistance would be appreciated.

What version of Captivate are you using ?

I want my flash video file NOT to load until I hit play...how can I do that?

I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying. Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play? This is the AS3 script I used...
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = true;
function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = false;
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
myVideo.play();
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hidePosterFrame);
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, showPosterFrame);
I am using Dreamweaver to put the pages together via the Insert - Media - Flash...then putting the .swf file in the page.
Thanks,
Arguilo

you can start the video and then stop it. it will continue to download (which you can monitor). when the time is right, you can enable the video's play button. before the video's ready to start, you can entertain your users.

How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

Status:
- Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
- I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
Problem:
- I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
Question:
- Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
- I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
Thanks for any help.

Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.

Need advice on making a simple Flash video file. Trying to accomplish two things.

I have some video files (.avi) that I am trying to convert to a Flash video format. I am trying to export it to a Flash player to go into a Powerpoint file. With this, I am trying to accomplish two goals:
1. To have the short clip (15sec, 30fps) endlessly loop, like an animated .gif.
2. To allow the user to click on the video player and drag left/right to ff/rew.
The video itself is a turntable animation. One of our products is making a complete 360degree turn. By allowing the user to grab and drag, it will simulate them rotating the model.
So far, I have already accomplished Goal 1. I made a new Actionscript 3 file, imported video (embed flv in swf and play in timeline), and then made the video loop on the timeline. This seems to export properly, and the video loops as needed. The only thing I can't figure out is how to make the video "interactive" and let the user drag left/right.
For context, I have never used Flash before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This will come down to essentially moving the playhead of Flash based on the movement of the mouse. It's certainly not going to be smooth however, you'd need a timer to be responsible for moving your playhead and reversing spatial compression is very CPU intensive (moving backwards on the timeline). I'd recommend having a forward and backward version of the video so you could flip between them but if you're new to flash you're already in way above your head.
Add a new layer and try adding this example script (or Download Source example here, saved to CS5):
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
// make sure we don't trip this frame twice
if (!stage.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN))
          // stop playhead
          stop();
          // set state (forwards? backwards?)
          var movingForward:Boolean = true;
          var curFrame:int = 1;
          var mouseStartX:int; // used later to determine drag
          // detect mouse click and drag left or right
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseF);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseF);
          // create new timer to control playhead, start it
          var phTimer:Timer = new Timer(33,0);
          phTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, movePlayheadF);
          phTimer.start();
          // function to control playhead
          function movePlayheadF(e:TimerEvent):void
                    curFrame += movingForward ? 1 : -1;
                    // validate frame (60 total frames)
                    if (curFrame > this.totalFrames) curFrame = 2;
                    else if (curFrame < 1) curFrame = this.totalFrames;
                    // goto the next frame
                    this.gotoAndStop(curFrame);
          // function that controls the direction variable
          function onMouseF(e:MouseEvent):void
                    if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)
                              // user started touching, record start spot
                              mouseStartX = int(stage.mouseX);
                    else if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP)
                              // user let mouse go, determine direction change (swipe stype)
                              if (stage.mouseX > mouseStartX)
                                        // swiped right, move forwards
                                        movingForward = true;
                                        trace('Moving forward now');
                              else if (stage.mouseX < mouseStartX)
                                        // swiped left, move backwards
                                        movingForward = false;
                                        trace('Moving backwards now');
This is pretty simple. In the example source link above an object on the timeline (nice ugly red circle) moves right over 60 frames and then left over 60 frames (120 total). Consider that your movie.
A timer ticks at a speed of 33ms (30fps). This is where it isn't necessarily going to be too smooth with video. If you increase it to 60FPS then decrease the timer by half (16.5ms), season to taste. Each time the timer goes off the playhead is moved, either forwards or backwards.
To know if it should go forward or backwards a simple variable (movingForward) keeps track of the last 'swipe'. The swipe is simply captured when a user touches the screen (mouse/finger), moves in a direction and then lets up. If they moved to the left the direction will be reverse. If they moved to the right it will move forward. This doesn't take into consideration any more than that logic, but illustrates how you can watch the mouse for movement and "do something" based on it.
A very simple validatior in the timer event function checks to see if the next frame (in either direction) is valid and if it's not, it corrects it so it stays within your videos timeline length.
Note there is a MOUSE_MOVE event you can try to hook to which can be used to literally let the user drag the video forwards and backwards the amount they drag their finger/cursor. Also if this is some kind of circular surface like a record spinning, the direction the user moves the mouse based on where they touch the record would change which direction they expect it to move. Etc etc..
That should get your feet wet in how much you need to consider for your project.

Flash Video File STUMP!

Okay, I'm totally stumped by this issue:
I just created a simple Flash file that is programmed to play a little animation and then play a video when the user clicks (video uses FLVPlayBack and and RTMP connection). Everything works fine when I export it from the Flash IDE, and in fact the video streams from a remote CDN server right to my desk top.
So, then I go to test the SWF on our remote web site server with a simple embed into HTML using SWFObject. I use a standard block of code to do this that I'm currently using for a different video player I also made that works just fine--I just swap the SWF file name and adjust a few details.
Yet, when I go to test the file, the SWF does nothing! The simple animation does not play, and the video does not load. What could be causing this? My first thought was that it was something in the SWFObject method, and I've played around with it trying all kind of things I think should work. I'm not sure what it is.
Here is the simple code in the flash file:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var videoPath:String = "rtmp://fstream.imediasee.com/basic/user/preview_video";
init();
// init
function init() {
     player.autoPlay = true;
     bPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beginPlay);
     anim.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beginPlay);
// begin play
function beginPlay(e:Event) {
     player.source = videoPath;
     bPlay.visible = false;
     anim.visible = false;
Again, this works fine when run on my desktop. "player" is an FLVPlayBack component, and "anim" an "bPlay" are MCs on the stage.
Here is the HTML file:

Any insights?

I have not had trouble with uploading flash video (.html and .swf) files to my remote server until about 3 weeks ago. I have a .mov made up of stills, graphics, and short video clips with a sound track cued to the video. It plays perfectly on my computers (iMac and G5 with CS4). It will not play on the website. What is playing there now is a video with sound that I made in SlideShowPro for Flash that sort of works, but is not syncing well, which is why I had the .mov made by my sound engineer friend.
Others seem to be having this same problem. What's up? Anyone?

NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

Search it up on google.com. There's a lot of apps that will help you do this. Check out this one:
http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-computer-transfer.html
You can also check out this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWvYo6Gcq44
I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software. You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
Good luck!

Unable to import/preview any video file using Lightroom 5/5.2

Hi,
I am a fairly new user to Lightroom (around 4 months), and have been fascinated by the capabilities of this software when it comes to photos. From the start, I used to notice (but chose to ignore) that lightroom would not be able to import any of my video files successfully (all in supported formats such as avi, mov, mp4, usually mov from my Nikon DSLR). Recently, I have started digging around to find a solution for this and fix this issue of not being able to preview or import any video file. I have gone through most of the related posts around the interwebs about this (including installing QuickTime, checking my AntiVirus, checking specific processes whether they are running or not). As a last attempt to resolve this, I am hoping to get some expert help on this form. As a sample of the error message which I get to see everytime is attached below. Also given below is my system info. I can provide further debugging information if required, but I really, desperately want this to work and be able to import videos. Thanks a bunch!

Import Canon HF20 video-files into Mac

Hello!
I just bought a new camcorder, Canon Vixia HF20. I installed the following cd called; Digital video, solution disk, which I was supposed to use to import the video-files into my mac.
When I installed it, I plugged in the camcorder with the USB, but the program says "no camera was found".
It tried to set the USB connection type to computer/printer, but it didn't work...
Is there somebody who could help me with this please? I think it is ridiculous if a well-known producer as Canon cannot make their programs for macs! It has to be a solution to this?
Thanks.

Found out myself.

Creating a Flash Video File

Hello,
I'm in desperate need of some guidance on how to actually
convert an avi file over to a Flash Video (FLV) that I can
eventually insert into a Captivate movie. I do have Flash but have
no clue where to start (new to Flash personally). Can anyone
possibly provide some step by step instructions on how to do this?
I do have the AVI file on my hard drive and would really appreciate
some step by step instructions.
Since I'm new to Flash and haven't yet received any training,
I'm really in the dark.
Thanks for any assistance!
Helen

I'm also new to flash and have never done it before, but I
think all you need to do is use the Flash 8 Video Encoder that
comes with flash. That should convert the avi and a few other kinds
of video files into FLV's.

Why do I not have sound when I import a M2TS video file into LR4? ?

I have M2TS video files stored on my computer. When I import a file into LR4, I have no sound. I also tried importing files directly from my Sony camcorder, but still have no sound.

How many sound channels does your video have?
Lightroom does not support 5.1.
