Opening .mp4 files using flvplayback component 2.5 in Air 3.2

I've publishing the package using the extended desktop profile and captive runtime.
When I run the published .exe file from a hard disk (either on my local machine or other test machines) it works fine, so I know that I have my code at least partially correct.
I'm accessing the .mp4 files from a subdirectory of the applicationDirectory (eg: app:/video), the file names are read in from a .xml file.
Example structure:
exampleVideoSource = File.applicationDirectory.url+"video/12-16/attacking when in balance/counterattacking 2.mp4"
Is this likely to confuse the FLVplayback component, if so what's the best way to get a working path?
Thanks,
Dan

Discovered the issue.
For mounted drives you need to use the nativePath property.
For cross platform applications you can simply replace() the delimiter with the .separator property.
Also for some reason the skin wouldn't load, despite the fact that I had chosen it in the component selector.
I ended up setting the myFLVplayback.skin property just before I added the component to the stage.
On  a related note, does anyone know if there's a difference between publishing an app with included folders, and simply publishing the app and adding the folders to the .app directory after the .app folder has been published?

  • Opening mp4 files without video

    I try to open mp4 files with video but some files opens video, some not. I can not fix the rule, becouse all files are mp4. I noticed "Auto open video panel when loading video files" in preferences is "on", so video panel is all the time open but video does not appear.  I have Soundbooth CS4 and working with Windows7. I do not remember if I had problems when working with XP few months ago. Right now evidently I have problem. Can someone suggest what I should adjust in my Soundbooth or what I should pay attention to, when loading audio-video file ???

  • Unable to open mp4 files from legato video converter

    I converted my hi8 tapes to mp4 files using legato video converter.  I am unable to open the mp4 files in adobe premiere 11.  Please help

    Thanks for the additional information.
    This is what I would like you to try.
    Make copies of your present AVCHD.mp4 file. And, then go through the process of renaming the file extension ONLY from:
    mp4
    to
    .mts, m2t, m2ts, .mov, .avi.
    Then set up a Premiere Elements 11 new project by
    a. Setting your own project preset NTSC DV Standard
    To do that, in the Premiere Elements 11 workspace, File Menu/New/Project. Then in the New Project Dialog, set for NTSC DV Standard, making sure that you put a check mark next to "Force this Project setting on this project" before you click OK.
    b. Then import your AVCHD.mp4, AVCHD.mts, AVCHD.m2t, AVCHD.m2ts, AVCHD.mov, AVCHD.avi into Premiere Elements 11 with its Add Media feature.
    Do any of the files with the different file extensions import?
    We will be watching for the outcome.
    Thanks.

    How do I open MP4 files? I have VLC open on my desktop but cannot manage.

    I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
    Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
    The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

    Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
    You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.
    See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
    From 1.40 onwards.

  • Quicktime is not opening .mp4 files anymore

    Hi, my quicktime stopped opening .mp4 files I record with my cellphone, that's pretty strange because I thought it was a problem with the phone but I can open them everywhere but in my Mac. This happen after I updated quicktime.
    Does anybody knows what could it be?
    Thanls

    I am having a similar problem. .mp4s are not playing. Used Handbrake to create an .mp4 file. It plays fine on every system but the one I need it to play on. Quicktime 7 won't play any video, just a white screen like it is missing a codec. I haven't had this problem before, and nothing has been recently installed that would effect Quicktime. Is there an easy way to reinstall the codecs? I've reinstalled Quicktime several times with no effect, recreated the .mp4 file several times, everything else plays fine. Any ideas?

  • Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

    I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6.  If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to.  I don't know if I changed something by accident or not. 
    Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..."  The save as window opens showing the file name and format.  The default format seems to be .PSD.  I use the drop down to select .jpg.  The file saves normally as a .jpg.  When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
    I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite  but it always used to do that.  This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
    In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
    I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    You are in the wrong forum;  You actually need Photoshop forum at this link:

    Hi Octopus,
    Based on the error message, it seems that the Visio Graphics Service is not started or the Enterprise feature is not enabled.
    I recommend to check the things below:
    Go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage service on server > check if the Visio Graphics Service is started > then click Application Management > Manage service applications > check if the Visio Graphics Service application
    is created.
    Go to the root site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Site collection features to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection Features is enabled.
    Go to the site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Manage site feature to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features is enabled.

  • Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
    All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
    Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

  • Open pdf file using ms access visual basic 2000 (9.0.2720)

    I'm using Acrobat reader to open pdf file using a vb proceedure , how ever I can't get it to open a specific file thats in another file folder.
    The code I'm using looks like the following: This is windows 7, using the (x86) virtual in 32 bit mode.
    Private Sub Form_Click()
    'checks for valid msds document
    Dim fs As FileSearch
    Dim stAppName As String
    Dim i As Integer
    On Error GoTo Err_form_Click
    Set fs = Application.FileSearch
    With fs
                 .NewSearch
                .LookIn = "c:\program files (x86)\cvmm\msds\"
                .FileName = Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
                .MatchTextExactly = True
    If .Execute() <> 0 Then
                        stAppName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\program files(x86)\cvmm\msds\" & Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
                          Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
               End If
                     End With
    exit sub
    Err_form_Click:
        MsgBox Err.Description
             Resume Exit_form_Click
    Exit_form_Click:
            MsgBox " no file found."
    End Sub
    This used to work when I was using acrobat 5.0,

    You should have quotes around a filename that has spaces in it. Older versions were more forgiving for some reason.
    Much better anyway is to use ShellExecute, which means you don't have to know or care what PDF reading software is installed and how to run it.

  • Opening External Files using SWF

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to open external files using swf? I have gone
    through a number of forums and all seem to tell me to open with a
    window projector. my problem is, I need to embed the swf into a
    html to be viewed online... So I need to do it in swf format.
    Any ideas?

    When you say 'external files' I presume you mean local files
    on the users hard drive.
    If that's true:
    When you say 'open' what do you mean? It could mean to open
    and load a text file/xml file or another swf in flash or it could
    mean to launch a document in its native application e.g. .doc
    launches word etc. Flash projectors can do the first thing, but not
    the second thing. And you need to know the path of the file because
    I don't believe you can retreive it from the filereference browsing
    support. 3rd party tools are necessary to really add a lot of file
    system support to projector applications, and then you can do both
    things mentioned here, without the limitations of flash player
    security which is only slightly reduced with regular projector
    files.
    The filereference class in flash is primarily for
    upload/download support. You can't 'open' local files with it.
    There is, to my current knowledge, no way you can do that with
    flash in a html page directly.
    The only way I can think that it might be possible (untested)
    would be to have a separate local MS Office (or any other host for
    a flash activex that gives filesystem access) with some embedded
    flash in a document that (perhaps) could talk via local connection
    with your html page content and which would in turn talk to its VBA
    host to request local file system activity. I don't know if this
    would work because I've not used localconnection, but perhaps it
    might.
