More Flash Video controller skins

I use DW CS3. I'm a very basic-level user doing business
sites/pages and need to get things moving fast. I'm not much into
HTML coding.
I love the fact that when I have a page in DW it's simple to
choose "Insert - Media - Flash Video..." and I get the list of
choices for the file to insert and the dropdown of built-in
players/skins to use. I typically create 640x480 videos and I
typically choose the last one in the list: Halo 3. I always just
choose "Detect Size" and that's it.
However, I really need to add "current time" and "total time"
indicators ("Min:Sec" format) so viewers will know the time they're
in for and so I can have advisors comment on particular sections in
the content of given videos.
I really, really, REALLY want to end up with the same
luxuriously simple functionality that I have now with the current
built-in choice: Just choose it from the drop-down, choose "Detect
Size" and be done with it and move on.
I'd also really like to stay with the generally minimalistic,
clean, sleek, professional look that the Halo skin provides (well,
it's very similar to the typical YouTube skin for that matter).
And I'd really like for it to be truly debugged and 100%
reliable, functional, and compatible with the DW CS3 program.
I'm happy to pay to buy what I'm after.
(Note: If it just can't be done and doesn't exist, then
please guide me to the simplest path for achieving the closest
thing to this by placing HTML code and files in folders as needed
-- or anything else you can suggest.)
Thanks!

>>I'm not much into HTML coding.
Then DW isn't going to be of much use to you.

All Flash Videos are skin elements

I was importing a flash video to one of my pages, dreamweaver
would not respond. Afterwards all the flash movies in the image
folder shows the same thing (icons for sound, stop, forward, etc),
even when I try to import different flash videos. Anyone know what
I did? I tried reinstalling Dreamweaver, reinstalled Flash Player,
threw away the preference files... I then tried to download my site
from the test server and I could do so as long as I didn't download
dependent files. As soon as I tried to download the file with
dependent files, the application quit. Suggestions?

To fix this I simply set up a new site with a blank html
page, imported a flash video; then copied the
AC_RunActiveContent.js from the Scripts folder as well as the
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and Clear_Skin_1.swf files to the old
site. All the problems disappeared....

Can you scale a predefined video controller skin in flash

Hello,
I have a question? Is it possible to modify the size of the
predefined skin for flv. What I mean is that I want to scale the
predefined play/pause controller in the flv. Is it possible to do
that.
Thanks

FCE uses fixed sizes ONLY.
Anything brought into FCE that is not the same dimensions as the pre-set Easy Setup (governs the Sequence settings) selected, will be conformed to that Sequence size, that means rendering.
You could try Streamclip to convert your existing video to an FCE Easy Setup size.

Flash Video Import Skins

I've noticed that many of the flash skin players won't work
with the File-Video-Import option. I can get the skins that are
titled "Over " to work fine. But the "External" skins that wrap
around the actual flv. won't show up on export. All files located
in proper place. I've used several skins to double check. For
example ArcticOverNoVol works, while MojaveExternalAll wont show.
Size setting is 400 x 276. I'm wondering if there is a bug in this
section, I've noticed a lot of people dealing with this. Anyone
know the answer to this?

Click on whatever your using to display the video, whether it
be actual video footage embedded or your using an Adobe video
player component to display it while the footage is hosted
remotely.
Then go to the top toolbar dropdown Window > Component
Inspector.
If your video object is embedded on the stage, look in the
Component Inspector window, on the Parameters tab, there will be
options, one of them is autoPlay, set that to False.
If you are using one of Adobe's pre-built components to
display your video, click your player, and in the Component
Inspector there will be a checkbox labelled "Automatically Play",
uncheck that.

Flash video losing skins in DW

I am embedding Flash SWF files in my Dreamweaver pages. I
haven't uploaded them yet, but when I preview in browser the skins
are missing from the video. I've tried recreating the flash files.
The skin SWF and the video SWF are in the same folder (along with
the FLA).
Any suggestions?

Please make a test copy of your page (name it something the
public won't
know)
upload all your files (don't forget the Scripts folder)
post a link to your test page.
We'll be glad to take a look for you..

Video Controller anyone?

Hi,
Let me first state I'm an
extreme novice with Flash. Basically, I use it to import
Quicktime movies and set up flv swf files for the web. All just
using the click through import options. I'm not doing any authoring
or construction so I'm really unfamiliar with 99.9% of Flash.
I've been using the prepackaged video controllers (like
Mohave, Clear, etc.) and I'd really like to find a more elegant
video controller. I've searched Flashkit and FlashFoundry, but I'm
unable to find anything let alone something that is well designed.
I've found several online tutorials for building one, but to be
honest, my skill set isn't up to it. And I'm aware that the
pre-formatted shipping controllers are customizable, but, like I
posted, my skill set just isn't up to that.
What I'd like is something similar to the controller at this
site:
http://www.wgbmembers.com/main.swf
after starting the swf, there's a video with a really nice
controller. (turn off your speakers before clicking the start
button)
Anyone have any resources for this? Or if anyone has one of
their own and would be willing to talk, please let me know.
I'm not looking for free stuff, if there's a cost, no
problem.

That is a video that is playing with the old media display
and media controller components. They are in Flash 8, I'll post a
sample tomorrow. Bump this thread in the morning to remind
me.

Controller skins for multimedia (swf) video -how to add?

My version of Acrobat Pro 9 does not have controller skins for swf files added with the Tools > Multimedia > Flash menu. But in watching AdobeTV - Kelly McCathran "A PDF Can Do That" video, she is using Acrobat Pro v9 on a Macintosh and at 13:38 time there are controller options available in her setup. Is this because the video is FLV and it includes the controller skins? http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15383v1011
Is it possible to add skins as a swf file is embedded in PDF to control playback?
Is there a place to download basic controller skins?
Can Javascript be used for playback controls of embedded swf files?
My goal is to be able to pause a video and add a comment like in the "Commenting on Video in Acrobat" movie at AdobeTV - http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15361v1015. I want to do more testing of this feature on my Mac because the first time I could make comments but the time code/reference was not captured and therefore the comment could not jump back to the video frame. I hope this was just me and not an oversight for all Macintosh users.

I doubt you'll get an answer here. We're all users, not Adobe employees. Acrobat 9 Pro is pretty new, and not many people are using the multimedia tools.
You might have more luck on this website:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/topics/rich-media
They also have forums where Adobe employees sometimes answer questions.

Insert Flash Video Skin Issue

When I Insert a Flash Video the second drop down box is
titled Skin. I have 9 options, 3 Clear, 3 Corona, 3 Halo. The first
two types add the Play Bar on to the video which shows when
scrolled over. The third adds it to the bottom.
The Halo option is what I want, a play bar at the bottom,
however this option seems to also a black line sized border just
outside the whole of the video. I can not seem to find a way to
stop this. What folder are these play bars located in? Could I add
more to it, or use flash to modify the existing skin to change
colour or remove that border or just plain make my own?
Thanks

Yes. All in my flash folder. Skin is call SkinUnderAll.swf. I did notice in Dremweaver that this file does not show up in the code with the rest of the video code. When I add the video swf do I still need to add the skin file also. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to.

Flash video skins

Are there any plug ins I can use to add more options to the skins that are currently available in CS3? I need a skin that displays UNDER the video, not on top of it and with timing and video length. I am not a programmer, I'm just inserting flash videos into webpages and am stuck with the choices that dreamweaver cs3 provides, non of which is what I need. Please help me!

DW's skin choices are limited because it's not a Flash application. If you're good with Action Script, you could build your own custom player in Flash or you could use any of the pre-built Flash players on the web.

How do I specify where a skin is located when publishing a Flash Video?

I'm creating Flash video's using the Import/Video wizard.
When I go to publish the video, I want the HTML file located in a
different (parent) directory from all the other video files, so
that all my HTML files for the site are in the root directory. The
problem is when I change the publish settings to create the HTML in
a different location, the video works properly but it doesn't find
where the skin is located and the skin doesn't show up. I thought
it would be simple to just change the HTML code to point to where
the skin is but I can't locate any references to the skin (name or
location) in any of the HTML code. How do I change the code to
accurately reflect where the skin is located???
thanks for any responses.

Select the FLV Playback component instance, change skin
parameter at components inspector or parameters tab on property
inspector, select "Custom Skin URL" for the skin option, and set
the path of your player skin relative to your html.
e.g.
your html file located at web root directory, all swf files
located in a subfolder named 'swf', so if you are using the skin
ArcticOverAll.swf, type in the URL field:
swf/ArcticOverAll.swf
Alternatively, you can also type the full path of your skin
file on your web server.
e.g.
http://www.yourwebsite.com/somefolder/swf/ArcticOverAll.swf

How to embed Flash video and control skin using HTML?

I am trying to use HTML to embed a flash video, however I encounter the following errors:
Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="
Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinOverPlaySeekStop.swf"]
Here is my HTML code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
     width="640" height="480" >
     <param name="movie" value="Content/example.swf">
     <param name="quality" value="high">
     <param name="play" value="true">
     <param name="loop" value="false">
     <embed src="Content/example.swf" width="640" height="480" play="false" loop="false" quality="high"></embed>
</OBJECT>
Whenever I open the page I'll get a popup window with the above errors and once I click "continue" it will go ahead and play the video, but without the control skin. Can anyone tell me how to get the skin to show up?

I found a solution at this thread. Basically, you just have to move your skin file (ie. SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf) to the same directory as your index.html file.
doghouseJim, thanks for the link. Although I didn't have to use swfobject in this case it is still good to know. Also, I didn't know that Flash can generate the HTML. This is a quick and easy way to see the video in a web browser and if you're using Firefox you can go to View > Page Source to see the code. If you just want to see the HTML, then all you have to do is go to File > Publish Preview > HTML and it will open a web browser where you can view the page source.

Skinned Flash Video upload

I'm wanting to upload a Flash video that I've made with a
skin and need to know if I can upload the files to a web server
without putting the video into Dreamweaver.
The files that I currently have are in one folder:
SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf
Melting Discoveries.flv
melt test.swf
melt test.html
AC_RunActiveContent.js
I was thinking I could upload these and open the .html url to
play the video, but that is failing.
If anyone has tips or a link to send me to I'd appreciate it.
Luke

Select the FLVPlayer component on the stage. Open the Component Inspector window. In the Parameters tab the Content Path will be the fifth item down the list. Alternately, in versions before CS4, you can use the Parameters tab in the Properties window and find the same Content Path.

Flash Video Skin Not Loading in Firefox

Hello everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with a Flash
Video file. I'm helping a friend out by doing some work on his
webpage. He had a video that he wanted to put up on his news page,
so I converted the video to an flv and used the flv player
component to make a video player linked it. I uploaded the skin's
swf file, the player's swf file, and the flv to the same directory.
I made an iframe pointing to the player.swf file in the news
section of the site. I tested it in IE; it works like a charm.
Video loads, skin loads, and it plays etc... but in any version of
firefox, only the video loads and just sits there (autoplay is
off). What can the problem be? Link : (should work in IE, not
FIREFOX
Here .
Once you can recover from the reporter's amusing slack-jawed mug,
please help me out!

Actually, this occurred to me later this afternoon, but I use Gentoo, which normally builds from source (cuz I am hardcore like that). I uninstalled the normal build and reinstalled the prebuilt binary and everything works. I am happy again and just need to play around with the source build options, which I can do later.
Thanks!

Flash Video - Bug in HALO Skin ???

Hallo,
i think i found a Bug in the Dreamweaver MX 2004 PLugin
(Flash Video) and i think in Dreamweaver 8 (TRAIL) it looks like
the same. When i put some fine Video Content (FLV) in a HTML Doc.
by using the Flash Video Button. I saw that by using the HALO Skin
my Video was cropped in wrong ways, but in the other Skins (Clear
and Corona) everything was OK.
Did anyone have the same trouble ?
Kind Regards - Rouven Kasten

I don't understand the difference either. The HALO page
layout would not
affect the appearance of inserted media.
