Interactive movies within interactive movies

I have been creating a gallery for a client that changes preview images in response to thumbnail images being clicked, I have the basics working but now my client wants further interaction in some of the previews that include using buttons on the preview images that either open a web page in a new window or switch between more preview images. The problem is the new buttons that appear are embedded on the initial preview images (which are set as movies), and for some reason the interaction that has been added to these movies is stopped when run in another movie. Sorry if that sounds complicated!
You can see how far I have got by visiting the test site here: http://www.nusphere.co.uk/glendalecentre/glendalecentre.html
If you look at the gallery here and click on the item titled VIACOM, a window will open On the bottom left hand side of the window you will see 4 thumbnail boxes that switch between the preview images on the right. The second preview image has the numbers 1 to 4 on the bottom of it. These numbers are buttons and are set to switch to more preview images, but sadly it's not working.
If you are interested in seeing what’s going on more clearly I have uploaded an FLA of that section:

Interactive pdf with movies/swf files doesn't work in up-to-date Acrobat Reader

Hi, I've a CS6 InDesign doc with movies (MP4's from a URL) and a few swf files. When exporting as an interactive pdf, all the links, movies, swf's work fine in my Acrobat Pro. They work fine on other peoples PC's with Acrobat Pro. But on all my clients PC's with up to date Reader, the movies are playing slow, and the pdf just doesn't work as expected. With links to next page etc not working either. They have up dated their Flash Player too. Still not working well.
Is there a magic fix? Can I re-save this pdf differently so they can experience all the interactive features properly?
I created a similar pdf last year from CS5, but adding in the movies & links on the pdf. Do I have to do this again?
Yours, mostly quite fed uply, Gina !

Is it possible that your client's PC is just a very slow machine? You might consider cutting out some of the interactivity if your PDF is to complex to be handled by less powerful machines.

Interactive Quicktime Movie Events (Keynote)

I'm developing an AIR app that lets the user play a quicktime .mov from their computer. This movie will most likely come from an exported Keynote presentation.
In case you're not familiar, Keynote lets you export a quicktime movie that is interactive... it will automatically pause after each transition and you can click anywhere on the movie to make it continue to the next slide.
In the flash VideoDisplay component it plays right through these "pause points" instead of stopping automatically.
Is there any way to have quicktime movies automatically pause at those points? Or is there a way to at least get a callback when they're supposed to happen so that I can pause it manually with actionscript?
I know it sounds far fetched, but this would basically let you play a keynote presentation inside flash.

Welcome to the discussions, Christopher.
Over in the Keynote discussions we've been going over this for quite awhile. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution to your problem. I've even gone as far as attempting to preload the chapter track thinking that might solve the problem, but it doesn't work.
One thing I don't think I've tried is setting up the first slide to advance "on-click" so that there's no animation before the first transition. The problem, of course, is that there's no "loading" animation to let it know when it's ready to go.
Another thing I haven't tried but that might work is to create the movie so that it doesn't autoplay, and then, using the embed commands, set autoplay to be the full length of the movie (so that it will automatically play, but only after it's completely downloaded). Look here for the autoplay embed commands.

Interactive quicktime movie from keynote doesn't stream correctly on web

hello,
Any help with this would be extremely appreciated as I've been trying to solve the problem for 3 days straight. I've created an interactive slide show in keynote and now want to stream it on my website. The problem is that the finished product, a QuickTime movie keeps re-starting when it reaches the first interactive link until the movie is completely loaded. At that point it then correctly stops at the first link but by this time it has looped the beginning of my movie three times. I've tried figuring out a way to partially load the movie before it starts playing through JavaScript to no avail. I'd like to avoid loading the whole movie before starting it due to its length. If I have to pre-load the entire movie, I'd like a status bar for loading but controls hidden while it plays.
Help please!

How to make quicktime movie export interactive.

I've keynote 09 presentation that has images and videos inserted into it. I need to share this people across on internet. I've created quicktime .mov file for this. My file size comes roughly around 500MB. Everything is fine, only problem I see is when I play quicktime file on my mac mini it is interactive, so I click on mouse and it moves to next text or next slide. Whereas same file when I run on my Windows 7 machine it just keeps flying thru it without any interaction from user. Same thing happesn when I try to play quicktime file uploaded on vimeo or smugmug.com, file just flies thru all slides without any user interaction.
Is there a way where I can make my slideshow to be interactive ?
thanks
-mj

The problem probably is because you are opening the QT movie with Windows Media Player
Solution
Download Quicktime player to your windows 7 PC
Then right click the QT movie you made from keynote and select 'open with'
Then select quicktime (the QT player downloaded)
Hope that helps

No sound on my .mov files in interactive PDF

I'm experiencing a problem with a .mov file I've placed in indesign and then exsported as an interactive PDF, the movie shows, but it has no sound! what am I doing wrong?
When I play it normal, it works very fine!
Hope you can help me.
Toni

Could be an odd audio codec. Probably worth trying to convert mov to flv (Adobe Media Encoder), which will give you more controller options too.

Interactive movie controls

Hi,
Sorry if this a silly question or not appropriate for Premiere. I am creating a presentation for my company, a corporate looking one. I built one in Flash, which was fine, but a bit fidly, as the presentation was very long (about ten minutes) and with a huge amount of layers. I found the image quality to be poor on Flash, and as PowerPoint is out of the question I want to build it on Premiere. I have used Premiere before, not very experienced but I get by.
I dont really want to have a movie that just plays through itself with no interaction. Is there a way to add movie controls, as in the first section of the presentation will play, then stop until a button is clicked (like an interactive PDF) and if so can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to use them?
Sorry if this is obvious.
Thank you

Exporting an interactive quicktime movie to be be used on PC

I have created a Keynote 06 presentation that is to be interactive. I exported to Quicktime using Sorenson 3 compress, best setting. When I go to watch the presentation it is not interactive. My goal was to create a Keynote presentation that stays on until I click on the PC laptop and this would tell Keynote to advance 1 slide and hold until I click the the keyboard again. What I currently have is a Quicktime movie which is 5m33s total running time it plays all the way through, it is not interactive at all. I need to know what am I doing wrong. I have to deliver this presentation for tomorrow A.M. so any and all help is appreciated.
Sebastian

No, no special keys.
At this point, I'd suggest creating a two frame presentation with a hyperlink on the first slide that takes you to the second slide and a hyperlink on the second slide that takes you to the first slide. No transitions, just text on the slides labeled slide one and slide two.
See if you can get this simple presentation to work correctly. If it doesn't determining what the problem is will be a lot easier than working with a large presentation.

Flash movie interactive

Hello,
I imported a Flash movie (created in 8, saved in 6 to work
with Captivate). It's a graphic of an engine with a list of engine
parts on the left. The student needs to drag the engine part name
to the engine part in the graphic. My question is: Does Captivate
allow for an imported Flash to be interactive?
The inverse of that question would be this question: If I
exported the entire Captivate project to Flash (it's about 5
slides), what is the latest edition of Flash that will work with
Captivate? I tried exporting the project to Flash 8 and got a
warning that the latest Macromedia version that works is 2004, but
I have since upgraded to Macromedia Studio.
I'm just looking for whatever scenario will allow my cool
Flash drag n' drop to be a part of this Captivate-created practice
test.
Thanks!

Hi naimahav
Take a look at the following link and you be the judge as to
whether drag-n-drop can be used in a Captivate movie...

see the page
Captivate can be coaxed to work with Flash 8. Take a look at

Best way to embed an Mov file into interactive flash game?

Hey,
just a quick query. I'm creating an interactive flash game for a university project. It's along the lines of Guitar Hero, Tap Tap Revolution, Boom Boom Rocket etc..
At the moment the game comprises of streaks of notes generated by Actionscript which the user much hit the corresponding key when notes are in the receptor. The background at the moment is an audio spectrum analyser created using AS based on the music playing.
I want to add loop movie file as the very background of the stage and was just wondering what was the best way to place it there with the least ammount of overheads. At the moment I have it in a child movie clip placed on the stage, in which I use File -> Import and embeded the FLV file into the time line. This works, however lags out quite badly.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
John Minns

Have you tried this method?
1. Save as new file.
2. With your usual color management preferences selected, run Xtras>Color>'Name all colors'.
3. In color swatches list, select all colors. From swatches pop-up menu 'Make RGB'.
4. In Preferences>Color, set color management settings to 'None'. The RGB colors should look about the same as they did with color management on.
Now you should be able to export to Flash with RGB colors that look quite close to your CMYK version of the file.
This should work the same in FH9 or FHMX. I hope it does the trick for you.

PDF Interactive and Movies

I created a movie in indesign and exported as a pdf interactive file when I play it on the iPAD it does not show the movie. Does anyone know a pdf app that will play interactive pdfs with movies?
PS: It plays on a pc just fine.
Thanks, Joe

What do you mean you created a movie in InDesign?
As already mentioned, there's no way to play SWF or anything created with Flash on the iPad. You'll need to use MP4 with h264 encoding.

Quicktime Interactive Movie Mouse Control

I have a quicktime interactive movie saved from keynote with chapters added in.
The file pays full screen but at 800x600 screen resolution, the mouse left click button is not advancing the presentation. If I change the resolution to 1024x768 the mouse works again. What is the relationship between resolution and mouse control and how do I get it to work at 800x600?

Tristan,
As Rick indicated in his post, the answer lies in "manually"
pausing the slides by inserting click boxes or buttons. I just
wanted to add that if you have already recorded your movies and did
not use Simulation mode, you can still easily insert a click box on
each slide to pause them.
1. On the first slide, insert a click box and set the options
as you desire (turning off success/failure captions for
instance...just don't uncheck the Pause movie until user clicks
option, otherwise you will change the "nature" of the object that
Rick was referring to.)
2. Size the click box to as small as possible and place it in
an out of the way location on the slide. (We often hide it under
another object if it does not need to be clicked such as when used
in conjunction with the auto playback controls.)
3. Copy the click box
4. On the filmstrip view, highlight all slides that you want
the movie to pause
5. Right Click on any one of the highlighted slides in the
filmstrip view and select Paste Object
This will paste a copy of your click box in the same location
on all slides with the same settings as your original.

Interactive Movie

Hello
I am looking for some guidance; I have 4 clips shot simultaneous of a subject; from 4 different angles. I would like to make a clip that is “interactive”. The clip start from the shot head on and the viewer can click and have the clip continue to play but from a different angle or possible view it from two angles. I would like the view to be able to switch as they see fit to a different angle or multiple angles.
Is FCP X the way to go? Or is there better software out there?
Thank you for your help and guidance
