Need to remove flash movie controls ( skin )

using Dreamweaver 8 - have imported an flv file into a
standard html page and it all works great when I publish - my
problem is DW 8 is making me choose a skin and the skins controls (
play RW, FF, ect..) semi transparent as they are, are directly over
some text of the movie. How do I tell DW I do not want a skin or
that I do not want any controls?

> DW 8 does not provide me a _no skin_ option
That's the thing. You've identified the problem. Dw doesn't
offer a no skin
option for this. It is not an option.
There is no option when importing an flv into dw to have no
controls show.
There isn't a choice to not have controls show if you use dw
to import an
flv.
do you need any other re-wording of the basic fact?
The message thread is kind of at the point of explaining that
it's a an
ex-parrot.
If you want to ask for this to be included in dreamweaver in
the future,
search on the adobe.com for dreamweaver wishlist.
If you do these operations IN FLASH instead of using the
Import flv menu
choice in dreamweaver, you WILL have a way to have no
controls on the skin.

  • Need help inserting flash movie into article...

    I inserted video into flash movie. I loaded the .swf & .fla files onto a server and went into the properties in the flash movie and pointed to the server to pull the .fla file & the movie controls .swf file.  I can preview the movie in flash with no problem.
    I am wanting to use the object code that was created as part of the .html file that was generated by flash and insert this into an article to display the video.  I path the .swf file in the object code to point to where it resides on the server but the video will not play using just the object code. Is there a way to do this using just a object or embed code without the need for scripts?
    (I am using CS4 version)

    If the swf file does not reside in the same folder as the html page that loads it, then if the video is dynamically loaded into the Flash file, chances are the targeting in the swf needs to be adjusted.  If the swf files just targets the video by its filename alone, try putting the video file in the same folder as the html file and see if it gets loaded.

  • Flash movie controlling Captivate navigation in an Aggregator project

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Flash movie which shows a Continue button after an interaction is completed by the user. This functionality prevents the user from clicking through the interaction slides so there is no captivate playbar or nav available. This Continue button works fine in advancing the Captivate movie that contains the Flash movie while published as an individual captivate file. However, when I take that published captivate movie and load it into an aggregator project, the communication of the cpCmndGotoSlide variable does not function properly. I'm using the following code in the Flash movie:
    // captivate access...
        var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
        var cptxMovie:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
        var slide:String = cptxMovie.cpInfoCurrentSlide;   // get current slide for workaround below
    // Continue button handler...
    // cptxMovie.cpCmndNext = 1;  // wouldn't work at all
    var theNextSlide:Number = Number(slide) + 1;       // workaround for cpCmndNext not working
    cptxMovie.cpCmndGotoSlide = theNextSlide;
    Is this because I'm calling the root, and the root is the outermost parent (the aggregator movie) and I need to communicate with the immediate parent of the flash movie (the submodule captivate)?
    How can I access the intermediate captivate while it is in aggregator?
    This is an AS3 flash and captivate and I'm using Captivate 5.
    Thanks in advance!
    Brian

    Hi Tristan,
    Thanks for the reply and the great code!
    I tried it out and got the dynamic text field to display that it had found the main timeline, however, it still would not advance properly. Maybe I'm not doing something right with it. Here's how I had it:
    // captivate access...
    var cptxMovie:MovieClip = getParentWithProperty("cpCmndGotoSlide", this);
    var slide:String = cptxMovie.cpInfoCurrentSlide;
    function getParentWithProperty(propertyName:String, startFrom:DisplayObjectContainer):MovieClip {
              if (startFrom.hasOwnProperty(propertyName)) {
                        trace("Found the Captivate Main Timeline");
                        checkCode.text = "Found the Captivate Main Timeline";
                        return startFrom as MovieClip;
              else if (startFrom == stage) {
                        trace("Could not find the Captivate Main Timeline");
                        checkCode.text = "Could not find the Captivate Main Timeline";
                        return null;
              else {
                        return getParentWithProperty(propertyName, startFrom.parent);
    // advance button handler...
    function advance(e:Event):void {
              for (var i:uint=0; i < orangeCircleArray.length; i++) {
                        orangeCircleArray[j].removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollover);
                        orangeCircleArray[j].removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollout);
              var slideNum:Number = Number(slide);
              var theNextSlide:Number = slideNum + 1;
              cptxMovie.cpCmndGotoSlide = theNextSlide;
              btnContinue.removeEventListner(MouseEvent.CLICK, advance);
    Thanks! Brian

  • Flash Movie - Controlling the Movie

    I'm currently working with a flash file that has 24,000
    frames. I have been able to successfully use the Call Sprite
    commands to start and play the movie and stop the movie, but only
    from frames 1-16,000. But for some reason the movie will not play
    beyond frame 16,001. It will go to any frame using the Call Sprite
    commands after 16,000 and display that frame but the movie will not
    play. The movie is a flash 6 swf. published from Flash 8
    professional. It was originally a video converted to flash format.
    This works or any frame number between 1 and 16,000:
    CallSprite(@"chair",#gotoframe,9325)
    CallSprite(@"chair", #play)
    But the movie image stops at frame 16,001 and the sound
    continues. If I tell it to go to frame 16,100 (or any frame higher)
    It will go to that frame, display that frame (image) but will not
    play the movie/sound.
    The flash assest properties are set as Linked,preload, image,
    sound, and I've tryed every possible option.

    I would not be surprised if this was a limitation of the
    Flash sprite,
    since it only officially supports Flash 6 or earlier. I
    recall some sort
    of frame limit in older versions of Flash.
    Did you try 'not linked', so it's actually imported? Not that
    that would
    help necessarily, but maybe.
    Also maybe try the Flash ActiveX control and see if that
    works better
    for you? Though it has it's own issues and requires different
    scripting...

  • Have to remove Flash Player Control Panel but don't know how to find it

    I am attempting to install Flash Player 10.3.n. I have downloaded both versions (IE & Firefox). When I try to install them it comes up with an error message. FLASH PLAY CONTROL PANEL must be turned off. I don't know where this is or how to find it. How can I install these two versions?

    Unfortunately, Firefox for android doesn't support Flash Player. Yet. That feature will be coming soon in a very near future release ;)

  • Need help removing Creative Audio Control Panel

    So I've been trying to get the Creative Consol Launcher to work with my soundcard again and found that in my "Programs and Features" list in windows 7 there is one item of Creative labs software that I can not remove. It is called "Creative Audio Control Panel" and when I attempt to uninstall it it tells me "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallSheild Installation Information\{7E96A7F-AFE3-47-87B-583E37639E8}\SUPPORT.Cab not found."
    Whenever I try to use the Creative Console Launcher it tells me "There are no supported audio device[sic] available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now."? I assume it's trying to launch Creative Audio Control Panel which for some reason or other is no longer present on my system but was never properly uninstalled. Also, great work on that error message - seems like Creative needs more proof readers.
    In other words it seems the file I need in order to uninstall this broken program is missing - any idea what I should do? I've tried seeing if I can reinstall the program but I can't find any setup file for it online - all I can find is "Creative Console Launcher" which seems to intigrate a launcher feature into volpannel, but since it doesn't have the Creative Audio Control Panel to actualy launch it just gives me error messages if I want to get into my EAX settings or mixer or anything like that. If anyone knows how I can uninstall/reinstlal this program (in windows 7) I'ld be very greatful.

    Well I believe I have found a solution to my problem and it is manyfold so here goes.
    First off, Creative Customer Support Americas corresponded with me via e-mail and notified me that there are known issues with all PCI cards and Creative Audio Consol in Windows 7 (which is to say they don't work together at all).
    After getting this info I removed my SB 0790 card and plugged in another one I had handy - it's still a SB X-FI Xtreme Audio but this one is has a PCIe interface and a digital audio in/out jack on the back to boot - this card is manufactured not by Creative but by MSI (licenced I assume) and came with my motherboard (good thing I had it laying around).
    Initialy I had the same issue - even uninstalling everything related to creative and re-installing the hotest newest drivers from the site simply wouldn't resolve the issue. Finaly I downloaded a 3rd party program called CCleaner - a freeware utility that can clean up registry errors and delete items off the program list by force if need be (and it was in this case). I used that to completely eradicate Creative Audio Console and Creative Console Launcher, re-installed the latest drivers and audio pack for the PCIe card, and then even had windows update the driver again after that (the result of which was not a new driver version but it did seem to download and install something - no clue what). After all of that I once again had a functioning version of Creative Audio Consol back on my computer - and now it recognizes that I have a valid card installed and I've got access to all the features I was missing. The interface for Creative Audio Console looks a bit different than it used to (no longer a fake looking stero but instead a fairly plane interface) but whatever it's working and that's what I care about.
    Oddly enough with all those installs it never put Volume Panel or Creative Consol Launcher back on my computer, I wound up having to install those off of the MSI card's driver disk to get easy access to the Creative Audio Panel again (otherwise I'd have to either make a shortcut or go straight into the install directory any time I want to launch it - now though I can launch it right through the Volum Panel).
    One persistant issue still remains: In my recording audio device list I am still missing: "What U Hear" but it has been this way since I installed Windows 7 for the first time in October when it releaed, and I have given up hope on ever seeing What U hear again - If I want to record from my soundcard I have a 3rd party freeware utility called "Virtual Audio Cables" that are a bit clunky but get the job done.
    Conclusion:
    Though it may claim on Creative's support page for the SB0790 (Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio) soundcard that the latest drivers support Windows 7 it is abundantly clear that this is NOT the case. You will manage to get audio out of it, but almost no other creative aplication is going to work with your card or even detect that a valid working SB card is installed. It seems the only aplication I could get working relyably was the auto updator (which was able to see I had the card installed) and Volume Panel. By the admission of Creative Customer Support America, however Creative Audio Panel will not work, and I have observed that Creative Consol Launcher does not function properly either. Indeed even plowing through the file system you'll find support only for XP and Vista versions of the drivers - there is no Win7 specific driver for either this card or it's PCIe counterpart.
    Also don't expect to have access to the "What U Hear" utility - this goes for the PCIe version of the card as well. As ever, it seems the marketing guys are making claims about the card that can't actualy be backed up, sure it's techincaly illegal, but only if your customers are willing to start a class action lawsuit over a 50 dollar soundcard that sort-of works anyway.
    Issue resolved for now - and I am no longer pulling my hair out in frustration.

  • Do i need to remove my case or skin when changing?

    After reading that temperature is important when charging, I was wondering whether I should remove my case when charging to prevent excessive built up of heat but won't this make the nano vulnerable to scratches?

    It depends on how much heat is generated. Removing the case will help dissipate the heat.

  • Skins dissappear when Flash movie placed

    I am using the example procedures as shown in the Adobe Book,
    Flash CS3 Professional Video Studio Techniques. (Chap 5
    specifically). I want to place a Flash movie inside of an HTML
    page. I created my Flash Video (Action Script 2.0) both ways (FLV
    Player with an authortime assigned FLV & FLV player with an
    HTML-assigned FLV) as recommended in the book both to learn and see
    how they function. When I load them stand alone in my browser,
    (Firefox) they work fine. When I place the code inside my full HTML
    page I can get the video to place and play with either but the
    Skins fail to show up. I see a blank bar with the background and no
    control skin. I did have to do a little work to get the paths
    correct for the video but once that was working I expected the
    skins to be there but they are gone.
    **Update** I actually got it to work when using FLV player
    with an HTML-assigned FLV (bad path) but FLV Player with an
    authortime assigned FLV still does not work nor make sense since
    the Skin should be embedded inside swf file correct?
    Answered my own question. In using FLV Player with an
    authortime assigned FLV the skin.swf needs to be at the same
    directory level as the calling HTML.

  • Need help with FLV type SWF playback in flash movie

    Hi,
    I have three external SWF files from a client without FLA
    sources. The SWFs were done 3 years ago by someone else so there is
    no way to modify the existing SWF files. These contain no
    interactivity but may involve nested clips on the main timeline.
    They are AS1 or AS2 files so they need to be done with AS2
    scripting to keep it simple.
    I need to call these SWF files inside another flash movie and
    play them in a player window as if they were video files with
    play/pause, seekbar and volume controls. The needed functionality
    is similar to FLV players. My controls will use custom graphic
    buttons and sliders mimicking the look of CNN video player window.
    Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to script these
    controls for SWF?
    Most likely I think I will load it in a clip and I am
    thinking that I will need to get the duration of the loaded swf in
    order to set up the seekbar.
    Thanks in advance,
    Attila

    I think your professor, or somebody, gave you directions with ActionScript 2 programming. In AS2, what oyu have here would have worked just fine. But, in AS3, you need to use a fairly different approach. Your buttons, and their instance name, can remain the same. But now, in AS3, you have to add event listeners in the following manner:
    yourButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yourListenerFunction);
    In your case, you can do one of two things - A) assign a unique listener function to each button, or B) assign the same listsner to both functions:
    A)
    start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startPolygon);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopPolygon);
    function startPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
        polygon.play();
    function stopPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
        polygon.stop();
    B)
    start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
    function controlPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
       if (e.target.name == "start_btn") {//Test for the name of the object that dispatched the CLICK event
          polygon.play();
       } else if (e.target.name == "stop_btn") {
          polygon.stop();
    When I'm using several buttons that do the same/nearly similar things, I favor approach B over A, as it keeps me to jsut one single function to deal with.

  • Controlling flash movie from another

    hello
    i hope someone can help me.
    i have 2 flash movies in a page with a CMS and an iframe.
    so quite a complicated structure...
    QUESTION1:
    is it possible to control one of them from the other one?
    e.g. telling movie B to go to a label from a button in movie
    A?
    QUESTION 2
    is it possible to controll either a target movie is already
    loaded in the page or not?
    suppose i need to check from movie A is movie B is already
    loaded in the page
    , load it in case it is not loaded, then tell ti to go to a
    certain label?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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"]

         <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.
