Importing flash video shifts cells

When I import flash video to my pages that were cut in
photoshop, the cells shift around.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

To expand a little on what Walt says, this symptom is the
"Poster Child" (so
to speak) for why one should not use graphics programs to
write HTML.
Applications like Photoshop and Fireworks are marketed
partially on the
basis that they can build your page for you, and this is
true, but what they
do not tell you is that the resulting pages are suitable ONLY
for
prototyping, and NOT for production-grade web pages. The
layouts that are
built are monolithic and 'brittle' meaning that as soon as
the "shape" of
the contents on the page change away from what was on the
canvas in the
graphics application when you exported the HTML, the layout
shifts and
'breaks'. They do their job well, these graphics apps, but
only if you
understand where and when to use them....

Importing Flash Video

I need some help. I have a video. The video is in an *.avi
format and in an *.swf format. When choosing to import a flash
video in Captivate 3, I can only select *.flv file. Can anyone
recommend software that will allow me to convert the avi or swf to
the format that Captivate can import?

You'll probably need to get Flash. The FLV (Flash video)
encoder comes with
Flash 8 or higher.
It's a separate program and takes in avi's or other video
formats and
outputs FLV. It will not convert a SWF to FLV -- FLV is a
video format not a
Flash format, if that makes sense.
Contact me offline if you need further explanation.

Importing flash video (.flv & .swf)

Hi there,
I'm trying to import a Flash movie into Captivate. I have a
.flv file and a .swf file. If I double click the .swf file the
movie runs fine using the Flash player. If I open captivate and
insert and animation slide (or on a normal slide, insert an
animation), I get the message "Macromedia Flash 7 files are
currently not supported". As Flash 8 is pretty new it seems odd
that Captivate and Flash 7 aren 't compatible?? Any
ideas/suggestions?
Cheers

Try saving your Flash movie as Flash 6 before importing it
into Captivate, if possible.

Multiple Flash Videos on 1 Page

Hi All
If i were to put 4 flash videos into a page, by using the
'import flash video' function in DW CS3 - will they all load at the
same time, or only load when the user clicks play?
Many Thanks
JP

Im not sure I understand, however I have a page up with 2
flash movies, but
I timed them by extending the first frame on the one to not
start any motion
until the first one is coming to an end.
So they both in essence start at once, but the one on top
plays out, as it
is coming to an end, the one in the body begins to move...

Flash Video in flex Applications

I'm working on making a web cast template for my clients in
flex and I'd like to do the entire template in flex, however, I'm
not sure about the best way to go about importing flash video into
a flex application. Is it the same as flash 8? Does it include all
the automatic play controls that flash 8 offered?
The flv will be delivered via progressive download.

Hi
Flash and J2me both can be use differently, not together till now. We can either use Flash or J2ME as a development tool.

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 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 ?

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

How to use embed code to insert my flash video from web host whilst keeping my player buttons?

I have created a flash 8 video. It consists of the video.swf
video.flv and skin.swf
When i try to embed it into a remote webpage, the video
player buttons do not show.
How do i enable my webpage of flash video to show the player
controls on a remote webpage using an embed code?

Reece,

If you chose FVSS, that means you're using a Flash Video
Streaming
Service and not just uploading video to your own server.
> So my skin.flv file currently has to be in the same
folder

You can put the skin wherever you like. All that matters is
that you
correctly path to it from the point of view of the HTML page
that holds your
SWF (the SWF that holds the FLVPlayback instance that uses
this skin).
> I need it to allow my skin.flv file to be in the same
folder
> as my vido.swf and video.flv files.
You're uploading your video files to a Flash Video Streaming
Service,
which I haven't done personally, so I don't know what
requirements this
service places on you. Regardless, the location of the skin
SWF file makes
no difference. In the FLA that contains your FLVPlayback
instance, select
that instance and look at the Parameters tab of the Propery
inspector. In
the skin parameter, double click the cell to the right of
that and enter the
path to the skin SWF. It can be absolute (full domain name
and filepath) or
relative. If it's relative, pretend it's the HTML file
looking for that
skin, instead of this SWF file.

Flash Video Arrives in Adobe Acrobat 9

Adobe has released Acrobat 9. The newly released version now allows Flash Video contents, which makes it more powerful for business presentation.
Actually, the concept of using multimedia files in PDF documents is nothing new. In the previous versions of Acrobat, you are able to embed QuickTime video and other formats into a PDF file. But you need an external media player installed on your computer for playing the video. Now in Adobe Acrobat 9, video can be played within a PDF document with no need to have any media player installed. Thus makes it more convenience to share.
This is a challenging feature which will affect its surroundings. As we know, the similar program for business presentation, PowerPoint, now only supports video and SWF import. If you want to import an FLV file, you must convert the file to WMV, AVI, or MPEG, etc. which can be perfectly done with our product, Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2.
The following passages are some notable features related to video import:
The powerful business version Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended provides more favorable features.
Deliver a compelling branded experience using PDF Portfolios
Create interactive, on-demand presentations with Adobe Presenter
Easily share video in PDF files
Share 3D designs and PDF maps
With Acrobat 9 Pro, you can insert FLV or H.264 video for direct playback in Adobe Acrobat® and Adobe Reader. New Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro even enhances Creative Suite 3.3 which is the indispensable toolkit for professional design and print production.
The Extended version provides even more powerful functions:
Easily adding audio, video, and quizzes to your PowerPoint slides and create rich, interactive presentations with Adobe Presenter (included)
Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for playback in PDF
Embed video in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint and convert to FLV in PDF
Convert 3D content to PDF for cross-platform sharing and collaboration
Combine multiple CAD formats in one assembly and save as PDF with Adobe 3D Reviewer (included)
Convert 2D and 3D designs from major CAD applications to PDF for use by extended teams without expensive CAD or viewer software
Create PDF maps by importing geospatial files that retain metadata and coordinates
In a word, Adobe 9 will totally change the communication and association of electronic files.

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.

ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

Hi Everyone
I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
Many Thanks
Dave

This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.

Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

Is there a way to create either a flash video or wmv from Keynote?

I have a file that I am sending out to a group who are Windows users, and have included effects and audio. There is a good chance that none of them have quicktime and I do not want them to need to download it. Can I somehow create a flash video or other format that will play the presentation and not reformat out the effects, transitions and audio?
Thanks!

You might check these guys out...
www.sorensonmedia.com They have a product called Squeeze for Flash, that converts any Video format into .swf or flv... And they have Demo's so you can try out their software before you buy... so try that...
Also, you can try importing the .MOV into your FLV directly (either to library or to stage) and export as a .swf and see if it works (in theory it should work without any "coding", simply import the mov into a new Flash Document and export MOVIE (.swf)... Then open the swf and see what happens...
