Inserting a FLV file without inserting a skin

I created a short FLV file in Flash, intentionally leaving out a skin. Importing it into Dreamweaver, I seem to have no way that I understand to simply run it without a skin. I am forced to choose one. How do I override this Dreamweaver process? Is there some part of the code I can change?  The code for this little FLV file is the following:

Autoplaying Flash with no controls, ewwww yuck. 
You could try exporting your FLA project as SWF.
DW Insert Menu > Media > Shockwave.  No skins or player controls.
NOTE: don't do this if your media contains loud audio or continuosly looping animations as this will irritate some site visitors and drive traffic away from your site.

  • FLV fil without Play bar

    Hi
    Is i possibel to insert an FLV file without the "Start" panel in the buttom of the movie ?

    umm... right: flash applications, as mentioned. Not videos though; like the original post stated. There's really no need for you to attempt to justify your incorrect recommendation though.
    @shocker,
    It's not an incorrect recommendation.  In some situations, SWF is the better choice.  In other situations it isn't.   Without a link to the page, neither of us can know for sure what the OP has going on. :-)
    @steen,
    Intrusive media on web sites is very annoying.    If your media has audio, you really need to give people an on/off button and volume controls.

  • Inserting a FLV file into CS5.5 project

    Hello,
    If anybody is able to help me with my question I would be forever grateful.
    1. I use CS5.5 and I have published a captivate demonstration as a MP4 - then converted it to a FLV file using Adobe Media Encoder. 
    2. I have then inserted the FLV file into another captivate CS5.5 project and published the file as a flash file.
    Problem - The FLV file plays when previewing in web browser, and also plays on a public file location.  Problem occurs when I load the published file onto a web server I get a connection error when I get to the slide with the FLV file.
    I am really stumped with this one.  Has anybody any ideas?
    Thanks
    ali

    Hi Rod,
    Attached is a screen dump.  I can understand why when I publish the final flash version to a web server that it does not recognise the path of the FLV file as it is on my local drive.  However when I attempt to place the file name of the file sitting on the web server I get another error message (Refer to screen dump 2).  Obviously I am missing something
    I am missing here.  Thanks ali

  • Audio volume drops in FLV file after inserting into Captivate 4

    The audio volume drops almost 50% in FLV files inserted into Captivate 4.  Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thank you.

    Hi Sony,
    That was the first thing I ever tried when I discovered the default setting for FLV and slide video (variables and advanced actions are my favorites, as you know perhaps). Perhaps I missed something, and did not try in CP 5.5 or after the latest patch on CP5.0, but this system variable seemed only to have effect on the normal audio clips, not on audio for video?

  • Firefox should display .swf and .flv files without Adobe. You can do it can't you?

    If the program, 'Media Player Classic' can play .swf and .flv files, the surely Firefox programmers can do for those what was done for .pdf files. PLEASE!

    hello, mozilla is indeed working on it, but this is not an easy task...

  • FLV files without sound

    Hi,
    When I try to play some flash video files from youtube, google video or the ones I make, the video plays ok, but the sound not.
    This happens with all the browsers I have installed (Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera).
    Any guess what could be?
    Thanks,

  • Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

    Hi -
    I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage.  I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
    I'm going to: Insert -  Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
    In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle.  But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
    I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software).  This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.  This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert. 
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
    thanks!
    Stacey Stanley

    This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
    That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
    1)  Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters?  If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
    2)  Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file.  Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
    3)  When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server?  Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

  • Inserting flv file in Dreamweaver CS4

    When I insert a flv file using Dreamweavr CS4 using asp (Windows XP, SP3 and IE8), I only get two additional files generated (FLV-PlayerProgressive.swf and a skins file.  I get no other files generated, either in my root folder of a Scripts folder.  FLV file works fine in Live Mode, but all I get is a white box when I upload the files to my server.  I've read numerous similar questions.  Has anyone ever got a good answer?  How can I resolve this issue?  I appreciate any help from anyone.

    I have checked numerous reference materials concerning this problem, and cannot really find any answer as to why DW CS4 is not inserting the files (for some users). I have even tried using different programs to encode an flv file, and creating an html page direct from within flash CS4, just to see if different files are created (definitely more options etc), but to no avail.
    The files DW should create are -
    FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf,
    Halo_Skin_3.swf (this is a skins file and can be any one of 9 available)
    2 files in a Scripts folder named –
    swfobject_modified.js
    expressInstall.swf
    In the head content it should insert the following -
    <script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    The only option I can recommend, is to insert the flv into a new (otherwise blank) html file, and then copy the code from there (providing it works of course).
    I know this is a problem for many people, and I have even considered asking the forum administrators if I could write an FAQ on how-to and possible solutions.
    If DW is not inserting the files mentioned above it may be worth while trying an uninstall / reinstall, but my recommendation is to first create a fictitious site, and then insert an flv into a blank html file (as mentioned above), just to test if that works.

  • Want FLV file to play on a web page without a player.  See my example

    I need to play a FLV file on a web page, but I don't want it playing in a visible player.  That is I don't want there to be the usual Play button and no frame.  I want it to work and look much like this link:
    http://www.personal-injury-attorney-los-angeles.com/
    It is similar to those infamous "Mac vs PC" videos which occasionally play on the home page of NYtimes.com.
    My flash ability in this area is limited. (I'm a Joomla pro but not a flash pro.)
    Looking at the source code, I see various swf controller file links, and some javascript, I think.  I have no idea what is in the swf files that may or may not be making it all work.
    First of all I don't even know if it is possible for a FLV file to play above html and then disappear revealing the html when it is finished playing.  I assume with the swf and javascript and divs this is possible, but am not sure.
    Ideally I would love the complete code if possible.  Or links to where I can find out how to do it.
    Need clarification?  Just let me know!
    Thanks
    Rowby

    it's possible.  but you have quite a lot to learn or you should hire someone.  it's unlikely you'll find someone to do all that gratis.
    if you want to learn, check the video class.  it will let you play the flv file without a skin.
    you can also use the flvplayback component with no skin.  that will add to your swf's file size with no benefit except it's easier to use than the video class.
    the floating and disappearing can all be done with divs.

  • How to get a poster or preview image for my flv file

    I am trying to find out how I can get a static image to show in my flvplayer before someone presses the play button to view the video.
    Details:
    I am brand new to flash, videos, .flv files, flash players, etc. I am very experienced with Dreamweaver, however.
    I had a DVD video. I converted it from DVD to a .flv file. In Dreamweaver, I inserted the .flv file into my web page using Insert - FLV. It added the nifty little flv player with the skins. Everything is working perfectly, except prior to the user clicking play, the video shows just a black screen. I'd like to replace that with a placeholder image (poster image??).
    Here is the page: http://ilovestraightteeth.webscapersites.com/treatments/incognito-braces.shtml
    Is there simply a parameter I add to the object/ embed code? Or do I need to edit the video? Or otherwise? Any help would be appreciated, I'm being bounced from one forum to the next all over the place.
    I've got the adobe cs4 suite, if that information is helpful/relevant. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, Nancy - that definitely helped! But -- again, I'm totally new to this, so another probably silly question....
    I followed the tutorial and totally got all of that, was able to add my poster frame, tested it, it all worked great. But now my video is in a .fla file; the option to export to FLV is not there. I need to get the video onto my web page now. So I tried exporting it as a .swf file, and then returned to Dreamweaver to insert the .swf file onto the page. I did an insert - SWF, the placeholder showed up, but when I tried to preview, I only got a blank white screen. I went to the Dreamweaver help files to see if I inserted it wrong, but I followed step by step and did it just as it said. (incidentally, a few days ago I tried insterting a different SWF file and the same thing happened).
    (a) do you know why my SWF file is not showing up/previewing?
    (b) is there a different file format I should have exported after I finished the tutorial for adding the poster image, when I had the functional .fla file?
    Thanks again. I really appreciate the response.

  • FLV file not showing up on page

    I am a novice with Dreamweaver. I created a site several
    years ago using just Contribute 2. Yesterday I used Adobe Media
    Encoder to encode some QTs to FLV (.f4v) files using a preset for
    Flash 8 compatible FLV files. I created a completely new html page
    in Dreamweaver and inserted the FLV file onto the page. When I use
    "live view" the page works and plays the FLV file perfectly. Then I
    save the file and save to the server. The page updates perfectly
    EXCEPT for the flv file. In Firefox it says I need the latest Flash
    version, (which I don't) in Safari, it just shows up as a blank
    spot on the page, but there is a warning at the bottom of the page
    and it allows you to see what the error is.
    The browsers "activity" window says:
    http://www.veralith.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
    not found
    Did part of the code - the FLVplayer - not get uploaded to
    the server maybe? What could have gone wrong and how do I fix it. I
    did not write special code to get the FLV file to play on the web,
    I just used the insert function and thought that Dreamweaver was
    going to do the rest for me "behind the scenes."
    Any help would be much appreciated. I read as many "help"
    files as I could, but I just don't know what I'm searching for. The
    website is www.veralith.com. I'm trying to update the "demo" page
    by adding about two dozen FLV files, eventually. Right now, there's
    only supposed to be one on that page, but it's not showing
    up.

    > I thought that when you use the Insert>Media:FLV
    function in

    Hmm. I just did a test with CS3 and it did exactly that.
    1. Created a new HTML page and saved it in the defined site
    folder
    2. Insert->Media->Flash Video
    3. Browse to the .flv file (also in the local site)
    4. Chose a skin
    5. [OK]
    6. Save
    A dialog box appeared informing me that it created a Scripts
    folder and
    that I should upload that folder to my server.
    There are now two .swf files in the same folder as the new
    .html file.
    They were not there before.
    1. FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
    2. Clear_Skin_1.swf

  • Problems with embedding .flv files in DW CS4....

  • Viewing FLV files offline

    I am currently using Bridge CS3 to view all of my FLV files
    on my Mac.
    Is there a dedicated player, or a plugin for Quicktime that
    will allow
    me to view FLV files without having to open Bridge?
    Thanks.

    I would NOT recommend you waste your time downloading Adobe Media Player, there are already numerous complaints about this player. It appears to let you 'download' the videos. There is a download screen in which you can see the progress of files being downloaded for 'offline' viewing and the files are stored in your application cache folder. They then show up as 'downloaded' ready for offline viewing.
    However, the player MYSTERIOUSLY deletes these files later at some magical time, an hour or two hours or six.... later for some STRANGE UNEXPLAINED reason. In addition, you will not know which ones will be deleted. I had 20 episodes in m Flex course already downloaded. Of these all but two were deleted.You can prevent this, by going in the cache and copying the folder and then opeing the flv files directly.  This begs the question, why delete the files in the first place.
    Despite many complaints made to adobe about this 'bug', nothing has been said, no replies received from Adobe. As a newby to Adobe development I take this a sign of the indifference this company is to a straighforward problem. What a waste of bandwidth, download quota, server time. Just LET US DOWNLOAD ONCE.
    If you like, you can try using the media player but to prevent having to redownload the files a few hours later you can try to just copy the respective folder and do the annoying thing of opeining up the files.
    Thanks Adobe for ....

    From my little knwledge, it is not possible to insert FLV
