Insert FLV, let it build player, can't move skins, SWF haults

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on a mac... I am inserting an FLV file through the file menu prompts... I let it build out the Skins it needs, which default to the root directory.. my FLV file is in a "Videos" folder... It is also creating a "Scripts" folder... It all plays fine...
In the dreamweaver File Viewer, I move Clear_Skin_1.swf andFLVPlayer_Progress.swf.. dreamweaver notifies me that i may need to update my paths... i do so with the following code... and now the file doesn't work...
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="350" height="234" id="FLVPlayer">

            <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Videos/Clear_Skin_1&streamName=Videos/CDWS_videomanual&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false" />
            <param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0">

            <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Videos/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="350" height="234">
              
              <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=Videos/Clear_Skin_1&streamName=Videos/CDWS_videomanual&autoPlay=true&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>
Now when I move the files BACK to the root, let dreamweaver re-write the code... it works... why can't I organize these SWF skins/players?

The reason (I am told), is because of the streaming video option (you require a streaming enabled server to use this), which establishes a permanent connection to the page, so the flash insert places the progressive option there as well, ease of coding and possibly making the file placement standardized I imagine.

Flash player can't play a .swf file alone

I've have a weird issue regarding flash.
I used Flash CS5 to create an interactive presentation. Everything works perfectly.
My problem is, for some unknown reason, everytime I try to open a stand alone .swf using flash player, the player always opens my interactive presentation instead and tries to load the .swf INTO it. Using the finder's info window, when I do select a .swf, I get the information all my .swf have been changed to "interactive presentation files", and the default application assigned to open these files is my own presentation.
I can manually change these settings to select Flash player or Flash CS5 back as the default application for all .swf's, but as soon as I close the info window, the files immediately becomes "interactive presentation" files again, so Flash player insists in openning the fiels inside my presentation.
There's a permanent way to fix this?
I'm using a Mac Intel core duo 2.
EDIT: I temporarily solved the problem deleting all copies of my presentation's projector. The flash player atemmpted to use another presentation instead to open .swf files, so I deleted that one too. After that, now plays the .swf files as normal. The only problem is, if for any reason I do re-install any of my interactive presentations proyectors, Flash player immediately tries to use them to play the .swf's... so the problem really remains unsolved.

The web flash player does not play stand alone .swf files on your computer.

New quicktime player: can I move the play buttons off the video?

Can I organize the Quicktime player like the old version? With the play buttons / time line on the bottom, outside and away from the video?
E.g., I do not want the play buttons / time line to "float" over the video window. It's distracting for times when I need to pause and scroll over video to find certain spots. It is really in the way.
Quicktime 10.1
Mac OS 10.7.3

Wow, that is unfortunate. It's really annoying to have that in the screen.
Do you know if Quicktime Pro has the same thing? If so I won't spend the money for it.
thanks

On 'insert FLV' player sits on top of video, not below

Hi, there.
I'm not a website designer, just a vdeo editor, who would like to post an FLV on a simple page with flash player controls below the video. In the past when I've used the 'insert flv' function, I've been able to have the player sit below the image. Now, when I insert an FLV, the player sits on top of the video. Is there any way to fix this without adjusting the code? (which I don't know how to do) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This behavior depends on the player template you choose. If you think the result you see is incorrect, adjust the height and width attributes, which can be done in the property inspector, if you're not into code.

I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and pasting the header separately from the text. I know there is a way besides a screen shot but I've spend hours trying to find it.

For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well. It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot). Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.

Can't Open .flv Files in Flash Player

I have Flash and Flash Player 9 on my Mac OS v.10.4.11. I
cannot open any .flv files with the player. Many are files that I
encoded with the Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder. When I double-click
on an .flv file, it opens the player, but no file. Same if I try to
open the file from within the player.
Anybody know what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

That is because you can't open FLV files.
You can import them into an FLA for playback. Or you can
publish a swf that dynamically loads the FLV and plays it back, but
you will need to either use a Playback component or use
Actionscript to do that.

Inserted FLV not playing in published files

I am trying to insert an FLV file but keep getting the following error when trying to publish:
"The Flash video can not be loaded. The output may not be proper." When I try to run the output files the video player is blank.
I am using Captivate 5.5.
The FLV file plays correctly in preview mode and also plays correctly when I play it independantly using a media player.
The file is located in the same folder as the CPTX file and the output SWF and HTM outputs.
I prefer to use the insert FLV option as it provides the playback controls which aren't available from the Insert Video option. It does play correctly using the Insert Video option.
Please help!
Alex

I have discovered something really unexpected. I tried publishing to the EXE format which worked. If I then published in the Flash format it works! If I try to publish again it reverts to the old problem.
Is this a bug?

Inserting FLV videos that allow student to start and stop anywhere

Hello,
I am inserting flv videos that students need to be able to start and stop anywhere, and when the video reaches the end, the student clicks on the NEXT button to go to next slide.
As long as the student lets the video play without any interruptions, the NEXT button appears at the end.
THe problem I am having is that everything works except the NEXT button is not appearing at the end of the Video unless the NEXT button is visible for the whole time the video is on.
If the NEXT button is visible during the whole time the video is showing, the student is able to skip the video without watching it.
I need the students to view the whole video as part of the course.
Is this possible?

Your original post didn't mention that the students should be able to repeat a portion of the video again if they choose to do so. This of course complicates matters further as you would then need to show either one of the standard Captivate playbars or use a Playbar widget as you are doing now. However, this also opens up for the user being able to skip the video once again, so it's not the best solution.
As I see it you have two options:
1) Present the video without the playbar as I described in my first post. Add the next button at the end of the video. This will make sure that the video has been watched to the end before the user can continue to the next slide. Perhaps you could add a "Replay" button so that the user would be able to watch the entire video again simply by replaying the slide.You can create Start and Stop(Pause) buttons by inserting Smart Shapes or Regular buttons and assign an Advanced Action to Pause or Continue the project.
2) Modify one of the Playbar widgets so that the scrubber and the next button isn't activated until a certain frame has been reached on that particular slide. Once this frame is reached the widget could activate Play and Scrubber allowing the users to navigate to the next slide or move around in the video. However, this requires extensive knowledge of Flash and Actionscript to achieve and it will also be a very troublesome approach as the frame numbers would change if you insert new slides (or extend / shorten existing slides) prior to the slide(s) containing the video.

Inserting flv's in a pdf

I posted this question a while ago, but did not get an answer. I am hoping I will be more successful this time.
How do I insert flv/swf's in my pdf so that they come in at 100%? They are always too small, which negatively affects the quality.
I have tried exporting a files as swf from inDesign, setting the dimensions (A4 or 596 x 842 pixel) when exporting, and then opening that in Acrobat and it still doesn't open at 100% size.
It would be highly appreciated if I were to get some sort of feedback here.
Thanks in advance,
G Helyar

It's been asked a number of times both here and on the AcrobatUsers forums, and I've always tried to respond - sorry if I missed yours.
The simple answer is that in a PDF there is no concept of "100%" when you talk about pixels. PDF pages have physical measurements for everything, including embedded SWF and video content, so if it's playing on a page in the normal widget, it will never be pixel-perfect. Setting the page zoom to 100% in Acrobat or Reader means "make a Letter-format page to be 8.5 inches wide on the monitor, or as close as you can get". It does not mean "show one content pixel per screen pixel" as the 100% scale in Photoshop does, and the accuracy of that "8.5 inches wide" zoom factor depends on the way your operating system is configured and the size of your display, so it's also never perfect.
If you set the rich media annotation to play in a floating window, it will display at 100% as that window uses pixel dimensions rather than page dimensions.
If you want the content to play in the page, you need to either re-write your SWF to handle the stage scaling internally, or if you're embedding video use a new version of the playback widget that respects absolute scaling by default.

From my little knwledge, it is not possible to insert FLV
file in the HTML page directly.For this you have to made a player
with flash which plays the FLV.And this swf can emdded in the HTML
page.
You can also download free flash videoplayers like JW Player.

Unable to insert .flv Template Child Pages

Unable to insert .flv Flash video in template pages
When you attempt to insert a Flash Video file (.flv) into a
child page created from a Dreamweaver template, you see the
following error message: "Making this change would require changing
code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will
be discarded."
The Adobe recommended solution: “ 1. Make a parent
template page that already contains the Flash Player detection
code. 2. Insert the Flash Video into the child page created from
the template, without the Flash Player detection code. To do this,
uncheck the "Prompt users to download Flash Player if necessary"
checkbox in the Insert Flash Video dialog box.”
This solution does not work. It doesn’t work because
the checkbox is grayed out - it is impossible to “…
uncheck the "Prompt users to download Flash Player … checkbox
What Can I do?
I want to uncheck that grayed out “Prompt” box.
How can I do that?

I am unable to duplicate what you are describing.
When you go to insert the flv, you Insert/Media/Flash
Video... and the box
is grayed out?
The unchecking of the box solves the problem, why yours is
doing that I dont
understand. I assume you are in an editable region in the
child?

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to: "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

Can you convert an SWF to an FLV setup?

I have created an entire piece in Flash and thought I could
create an FLV player from it in the end. I don't think I can, so
can I import the SWF I created into a new project somehow with the
intent of creating an FLV set-up?

You will need to export that SWF to video than import it back
to convert it
to FLV. No direct way with flash itself.
