Need code to embed Flash Movie in Web Page

1 - We want to embed a Flash Movie into a regular web page
and need the HTML code snippit sample on how to do it...
2 - What is the difference in HTML coding for a Flash Movie
and a regular SWF Flash File?
3 - Is the Flash Movie file format designed just for video
while swf is designed more for animation?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. Yes I uploaded all of the exported versions:
MVI_1235-Desktop.m4v
MVI_1235-iPhone-cell.3gp
MVI_1235-iPhone.m4v
MVI_1235-poster.jpg
MVI_1235.mov
All are residing in the folder with the reference movie and were not renamed. I noticed in the instructions there is a comment of including the <style> and <script> tags in the <head> of the page so that it validates as XHTML. I copied and pasted the <script> code, but I am not using any <style> tags. I wondered if that is contributing to the issue. Thanks again for the help.

Code for Embedding Quicktime Movies in Web Pages-Question

I have been embedding QT movies in web pages for years. I used to use the embed and object tags, but due to the problems with the default settings of IE7, in regards to ActiveX, I recently changed to the javascript method.
I will paste sample code below, of how I use it, with the movie title change to sample: (of course I change the dimensions, depending on the movie size.)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
and I put at the top of the page, right before </head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
I forgot where I got this code. Perhaps from someone on this forum, or elsewhere. It seems to work with the default settings on most browsers.
I have a couple questions, however, regarding fine-tuning it a little more.
1) If it takes a while for the movie to load, users who open my pages see a static Q QT icon. How would one make the icon flash, with flashing text that says "Loading", so that the user knows that the video is loading? (I have seen that on other sites, and don't know how to do that.)
2)As said the javascript works with most browser default settings, as most have javascript enabled by default. But what if a user does not have javascript enabled? Could the code sense that, and if non-existent, tell the user to enable javascript? Or, if javascript is disabled, could the embed and/or object tags be activated?
3) The code above, that I got from someone, says "cache=false". That means that each time someone sees the movie, it has to be reloaded from the net, and not from the browser cache, correct? If so, why would one want it to be set that way? If it's a large movie, a user with a slower computer and/or internet connection would certainly prefer if it could play from the cache the next time, loading much faster. Is there any reason to prefer "cache=false"?
4)Is there any code that could be put in, to allow the user, if they prefer, to download the file,(perhaps with a right-click or CTRL-Click), instead of playing it in the browser?
Thank you very much in advance, to whomever can help with these code questions.

Thank you for your reply, Kirk,
1)Yes, I do have "fast start" enabled in my files, and they were made with QT Pro, newest version. So no, there is no "trouble with my files".
However, I would still like to have that flashing "Loading" icon when the file is loading, as I see on other sites. (And yes, even with "Fast Start" enabled, depending on the size of the file, the speed of the computer and internet connection, it can take a little time beforeit starts.) Anyone know how to create that flashing "Loading" icon, rather than just the static Q?
2)I just wondered if there was a way for the javascript to recognize if the user does not have javascript, and bring up a message if that is the case, telling the user they need to enable it to see the content. (As would happen if the user does not have the QT plugin installed.) Yes, I realize it would not work to include in the normal way the embed and object tags as well, I wondered if there was a way to invoke them only if the user doesn't have javascript. Perhaps impossible, but I thought I'd ask, in case someone knows of a way to do that.
4)Yes, I guess I could just put a separate direct text link to the movie file for downloading. I just wondered if there was a way to put that in the javascript, so that if someone right-clicks on the QT icon, they can download rather than view it, rather than use a separate link. That may also be impossible, but I thought I'd ask, and see if there is a way to do that.
Your question to me regarding dimensions--I forget which was the QT movie, that I took that sample from. Yes, I have some in unusual sizes. They are not normal movies. I don't have time to explain more now though, and that has no bearing on the questions I asked.
Once again, thanks for replying, and if you or someone else could help further with my questions, I would appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day!

Embed Reference Movie in Web Page

Hi, I exported several versions of my movie out of QuickTime Pro using the "Export for Web" feature. I used the default options. I read the instructional file for embedding the result in a web page. I made a very simple web page and loaded all to the same folder on my web site. When I try to play the movie the poster frame image shows and when I click 'play' the QuickTime logo appears, but then a question mark is displayed over the QuickTime log. Clearly something is not right. Here is the web page:
http://konastreamingvideo.com/ksv/house.htm
I would appreciate any help that could be offered. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Yes I uploaded all of the exported versions:

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.
adninjastrator wrote:
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.

Flash Player in web page hosted on Windows Azure

First, I admit I am a Flash noob. That said, I have an ASP.NET web page (ASPX) hosting a flash movie, and the page works perfectly on my development box but does NOT work when hosted on a Windows Azure web role. The initial image (PNG) displays, and the triangular "play" button is there, but when you click it the player rectangle goes all black.
I have verified that the files are in place. All the naming is correct. As mentioned, it DOES work locally.
This is an SWF file that loads an MP4 file and there's some xxx_config.xml file that provides subtitles to the narration in the video. I did not make the movie, but it was made in Camtasia Studio 7. It generated the core html object tags that I copied, and all the supporting files. As far as I can determine, the SWF file is failing to load the MP4 file.
In theory, this should NOT be a cross-domain issue as all the files are in the same folder of the same web site. I have tried adding a crossdomain.xml for good measure, but that had no effect. I also made sure to try using one single web server instance in Azure in case the load balancing between instances was causing the problem, but that had no effect.
I have a support call in to Microsoft, but of course they say they do not support Flash and I imagine Adobe will say they don't support Azure.
Anyone aware of any Azure-specific gotchas?
PS I am testing in the same IE9 browser from my local machine so browser settings are identical from the case that works.

I fixed it myself. It turned out to be an Azure issue, not a Flash issue. By default when an Azure web role instance is created (think VM), the IIS server is not configured with a MIME type for MP4 files. You have to add it to your project's web.config file if you're going to use that type of file.
IIS doesn't like to serve up file types that it doesn't know about.

How to embed 3D models in web page using JAVA?

Hello
I'm doing a project at University to create a virtual tour of a village. I am creating the buildings in MAYA using polygon planes and cubes and then exporting to VRML.
I plan to embed each individual model into a separate web page. Then when the user clicks on a location in a 2D map they will be taken to the web page containing that building.
However, I can't work out how to embed these 3D models into web pages using JAVA. Can anyone help me with this, please?
Also, I've been told to use JAVA 3D to interact with the project but am unclear as to how JAVA 3D would be used in this project - aqny ideas/suggestions welcome!
M.

If you use Java-plugin, you can embed Java3D in a web page.
Here is the URL(http://www.geovista.psu.edu/products/demos/LorenzAttractor3D/index.html) which used Java3D.
I hope this helps.

Embed Flash Movie Code not Working...[MySpace]

OK...
Attempting to stream a Flash movie on my myspace page.
I've inserted myspace's (Neko's) code:
[code]<embed src="

& my own...as created in Dreamweaver for another of my
sites:

...which is very similar to what myspace creates for the user
when Neko's code is inserted & submitted...
...but so far...not only do they
not work...ALL of my regular tables disappear...they're
gone.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks,
mark4man

Figured this out...
halfway, at least..
It's the size; & buffer time (for some reason.) In the
time it takes for my PC, at my connection speed (Verizon DSL,
downloading @ 2850 kbps) to BUFFER the movie...it blanks everything
out...everything...no tables, no default music player, no SnoCap
store, no nothin'...for 8 minutes. Then, all is there...looking the
way it was designed, including the movie.
I need to figure out why this is happening (which shouldn't
be happening.) Everything else should be there, up & in
place...& the movie should just drop into the slot when the
buffering is complete, correct?
Thanks,

How do I embed flash movie in MUSE?

I am trying to embed a Flash movie in a new page on my site. I want the Flash movie to open in a new page, full screen without header or footer. I have puploaded a page with the correct code (I think) . The page opens but remains blank. The swf movie file does not launch. The files work fine on my hard drive.

Jgrummel, I tried pasting in your code with the name of an audio file, but it did not work even when I published. My guess is that the file needs to ALREADY be on the server, but then I thought if that was the case, does the embed code have to have a folder reference? I am not a coder, so I am trying to figure out at random. Can you provide any step-by-step process for getting audio files to play in the background WITHOUT the player being seen or being loaded in another page? Is the only option to use a thrid party server, like youtube, BUT with that issue is that I get suck with player controls that I do not wnat and it does not loop.

Delivering Flash movie to web designer

I just sent our web designer a flash video to place on a website. I included in one folder the .swf, the .flv and the player skin. Plus I also added the .fla file, just in case they needed it.
They tell me yes, they can play the movie, but they can't place it on a web page.
Have I missed some element they need? I've attached the .swf file which is the only one allowed to upload.
thx...jw

IF they (or you) publish an html file using the fla (via the Publish Settings options), they can utilize the code from that file to plant the swf in the web page. There may also be a need to include a js file, which Flash will also generate when you publish the html.

How do you embed ePub3 in a web page using 'embed code'?

I have an epub3 that i desperately need to embed onto my web page.
I am using Weebly who allow for embed code on the web page, and also have a code editor where you can upload files.
Is it easy enough to somehow upload the mp3's that are in my epub, and then explode the epub and simply copy and paste this html code into the embed code function from weebly?
This is what I have found so far, but I am no code expert!
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7419205/how-do-you-embed-an-epub-in-a-web-page

That is an interesting question. Since epub3 is based on everything that a web page is made of and is often called a web page in a box, I doubt that current browsers can show the document. Browsers are only now catching up with showing an SVG image. I suppose that, if an epub3 reader is available on the client, it should theoretically be possible. Think of a Word or a PDF document.
IMHO, the best way out is to convert the book into a PDF format.

How do I embed flash movie with detection

Hi - I want to embed a movie below a banner image in a web
page. I want to use flash detection so that the right player is
used. I've got Flash professional 8 so it spits out an HTML page
with the flash detection script written to it. In the body section
of the HTML is a <script> tag with the document.write called
if the detection is succesful. What I've tried to do is put my
banner image in a div above the script tag. This seems to work in
Firefox but gives me a tiny little stretched banner image and a
tiny little stretched flash movie when I try the page in IE7.
I've attached my HTML below. Why is this happening?

I found the answer - I was using dynamic positioning of
elements in a javacript file and was using
document.documentElement.clientHeight to get the clientheight. IE7
no longer recognises this and has started using the standards
compliant document.body.clientHeight.

Embed Lightroom gallery in web page

Hello all,
Here for help with embedding a Lightroom created gallery into
a web page in Dreamweaver. My test page is at
http://www.grayareaphotography.com/Copy%20of%20Home%20Page.htm
(dont mind the mess this is just a testing page) scroll to the
bottom and you'll see the LR gallery embedded. At the top are links
to all my other LR galleries, they open in separate pages (perhaps
the way LR would perfer it to be done).
On to the question. I found discussion on how to do this at
http://www.bluefire.tv/blog/flashgalleries/using_flashvars.html
using flashvars, and I have been able to get the shell of the LR
gallery to load, but I can find the code, or mistake or oversight,
that will load the actual pictures. I've emailed BlueFire, no reply
yet. So thought I would ask here too.
All my LR galleries, their folders and files reside under my
root, grayareaphotography/galleryName.xxx.
Here is my code for embedding LR galleries thus far. Anyone
done this? anyone know or see something I am missing?

Unable to play Quick Time movies in web pages

We have Quick Time 7.0.4 player installed on Mac OS X v10.4, But we are unable to open Quick time movies in web browser from external web sites.
It gives us error ‘To view this movie, you will need QuickTime 5 (or later)’
If we open Quick time movies from local disk in web browser then it works perfectly alright.
Could you please let us know the reason behind this?
Note: I have encounter this problem on safari and IE 5.2 browser.

For instance if you go to this page again in Safari,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/
and then select "View Source" from the View menu, then press command-f to "find" within the page and search for ".mov"
You will find this, which shows the url of the movie itself.
<param name="href" value="http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov">
If you copy just this part:
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov
And open QuickTime Player, go to the File menu, select "Open URL" the movie will play.
If you try the same technique on the page at the link provided by your client, it will allow you to bypass the html code that may be doing an outdated compatibility check and the movie may play. Or it may tell you that you are missing components (codecs, compressors etc.) in which case, post here again.

2 Desired Improvements for the Flash Player 'about' web page

Hi all ...   I'm finally writing to request two improvements to this web page:
     http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
As a geek, I have long been annoyed that this web page does not keep its Flash object and does not show the Flash Player plugin version number in the same format as used in the detailed list of latest Flash Player versions for various web browers and operating systems.
This web page is mainly a tool for techs. It can be improved greatly with these two changes (which I'm requesting on May 29, 2013):
1) Near the top of the page, KEEP the flash animation object --
do NOT replace it with an advertisement in a few seconds.
     Keeping the Flash object there allows a knowledgeable user
to right-click on the object to see the Flash plugin version, which
is a way to confirm that the web page's displayed Flash Player
version is correct.
    Currently, the Flash object is replaced within a few seconds
with an advertisement for some other Adobe product. This is
MOST ANNOYING. As a tech, I'm specifically going to this web
page to (a) see that the Flash Player plugin I just installed is
working and/or (b) see what exact version it is.
    Again:   Keep the Flash object in place -- drop the code that
replaces that object with an advertisement.
2) The displayed Flash Player version is formatted with commas,
as in
                You have version
                11,7,700,202 installed
while ALL of the versions in the table below are formatted
(properly) with dots, as in
                Player version
                11.7.700.202
    Make it easier for us mere humans to compare these version
numbers ... rework the HTML code to replace the commas with
dots. (It's not rocket science.)
Thank you.
    -- A geek and former software build & release
        engineer in Tacoma WA

Thanks, Chris.    That other web page does serve my needs better. I've created a web link to it on my flash drive where I keep the latest Flash plugins for IE and non-IE web browsers.
I still feel that the "About" web page needs the two changes I suggested.
Thanks also for pointing out that the box displaying the version of the installed Flash plugin is actually a Flash .SWF object .... since it is currently static (meaning, it has no animation whatsoever), I had no clue it was a Flash object.
So, I add a 3rd request:   have that version-display SWF object redone, to have a simple animation added and to have its code to display version revised to use periods (dots) in the version numbers. If that object currently is intended and used in some other Adobe (European?) we page, create a new object for the English "About" page.   Or to re-use code, use the version-display object from the page at
      http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
on the "About" page as well.
Again, as a techie pressed for time, I want a web page where I see the current version of the installed plugins and the versions of the latest releases, in the same formatting,
along with an animated flash object to prove that the Flash plugin in that web browser is working.
I do not accept that the mostly-technical Flash "About" page needs to have marketing materials (an ad).   People go to the About page specifically to see the Flash version info and to prove that Flash is working.
Thanks again .... - Ray
