Play Flash Movie ONE TIME on Webpage...

I've been searching for a way to add a 'Cookie' to my Flash
Video file so that it will only Play One Time... on my landing
page. After the visitor goes to another page and returns to my
homepage I do NOT want the Video to Play again.
My Video is a Flash Video Object so it only occupies the
First frame.
I do NOT mean LOOP. My video does not Loop.
I am searching for a simple way for the Flash Video to know
that it has already been played during a Site visit so it does NOT
play again when the page is revisited.
I was told to dump this in my first frame:
replay = SharedObject.getLocal("save");
if (replay.data.name == undefined){
gotoAndPlay(2);
replay.data.name = "played";
} else {
gotoAndStop(200);
I could not get the above Action Script to work.
Anyone know a simple way to do this?

Am I asking for something that is 'Out of the Norm'?
How do you guys deal with making a Video, Banner, etc. Play
Only Once per Website visit?

When i start Firefox ( 5.0.1 ) it loads the home page fine but along with it, it starts playing a video i watched earlier on youtube and it is invisible ( no where in tabs ) and i can just hear the sound. After playing the video one time it stops.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
<u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
<u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

Can one play flash movies faster?

I have to go through a couple of self-learning exercises. Alas, the presenter speaks so slow that I have a hard time not to fall asleep between words. :-(
Is there a way (or an alternative player) that allows to playback flash movies (i.e. swf files) at higher than original speeds? I am pretty sure I could easily cope with at least 1.5x if not 2x of the original recording speed and still perfectly understand what is being said and shown.
Such a function would save me tremendous amounts of time and the learning effect would definitely be higher than with the current setup!
Any hint and/or pointer welcome!
Michael

Try http://www.enounce.com for flash files. You can speed up and slow down the playing speed. They have a free 7 day trial and the price is under $30.
You can also adjust the play speed in windows media player for avi files. Select a) "Now Playing", from the top toolbar, b) " Enhancements", c) "Play Speed Settings".
Hope this helps

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers
Ed
(Im in Patagonia - documentary photographer...sorting a good site helps me secure sponsorship and future exhibition venues. Your help is appreciated!

Alancito
Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Cant play flash movies (swf)

For some reason Flash movies wont play on my G5 using the
Flash Player application... they just come up blank... I can play
flash in a web browser froma remote site but not from my nachine...
I think I have all the necessary software thats needed...
any ideas??
thanks
DF

damir: are you talking about the standalone player? if so, in
order to view online content from the player, you need to include
the very specific URL that leads to the swf file. so
http://www.mydomain.com will not
work but
http://www.mydomain.com/flashcontent.swf
will work (of course you need an active internet connection as
well).
also, make sure you have the latest version of the player,
because some older versions may not play the latest content
correctly. not sure where you can download the latest standalone
player, but do a search on the adobe site for "standalone flash
player for mac" or something...

Automatically playing multiple movies one after another

I want to put in my DVD and see a menu of 6 separate movie files (ie, I do NOT want to auto play the first movie).
But when I do click play on the first movie, I want it to automatically go to the 2nd movie and play that, then the 3rd, etc.
Is this possible?

Hi cornfellow
Welcome to apple discussions. If you happen to be working with chapter markers in either FCP or iMovie (version 6 for example) then iDvd has the ability to generate a play all button. But short of this, there is no way I'm aware of within iDVD alone to link different videos together like there is in DVDSP or Roxio Toast. I believe this has been covered a number of times on apple discussions / forums. For example:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1381250
iDvd does not have a play all check box like Toast does unfortunately (ie, see bottom left corner of image below). As already mentioned above, Toast is likely your best and most affordable option here. But if you have the time and extra money, then I highly recommend learning to use DVDSP also.

ripplie

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Playing flash movie within an email?

Hi
I am creating a flash card and i didnt know if it is possible
or not to have the swf playing in an email or if you have to have a
typed url link to view the card. Does anyone know if it is possible
to actually have the swf file playing in the email message? or the
best way for sending out a flash ecard. This ecard would be sent
direct from the persons email to their contacts.
really appreciate any feedback
many thanks
J

hi Rafiq
thanks for your reply, I am new to this forum business, so
was really happy to get a reply : )
i have tried to send the page as an email, by going to page
in explorer and going file - send - page as email, and it does work
sometimes, but on some of the test emails i sent to different
people it brought up a box saying something about active x security
controls and the page didnt display, so i think what you have
suggested is best by just sending the typed url link and if the
client wants some type of graphic in there i suppose i could put a
picture graphic into the email of the ecard.
many thanks

Purchased a movie. Trying to watch it through Apple TV. Receiving error "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." I have tried to play the movie several times but still get the same message.

I purchased a movie using Apple TV. I keep receiving the same error message "An error occurred loading this content"

There may be network issues or issues with Apple's servers.
Personally I would unplug and restart AppleTV. If there are still problems and you can access the iTunes store sections to browse I would contact itunes store support.

Lustwatch - Flash 3d Watch Time / Luca Strazzullo

Hi,
i have created a watch time in actionscript.
it name is lustWatch.
this is the link:
lustWatch
Can you return feedback ??
Thanks.

Although marked as answered, I think this question is not answered yet because Flash Player causes overheating even after cleaning fan and heat sink.
@dtforhan: >> "I still find it kind of puzzling that Flash Player is the only piece of software on my computer that causes this kind of temperature increase"
All the people with and older cpu and knowledge enough to open Task Manager while playing flash movies will agree.
Why doesn't Adobe implement a global configuration override so that the user can choose the default quality for Flash Player videos? Or perhaps let us customize a global fps setting? Too hard to develop? This can reduce the 100% cpu saturation to something a bit lower.

Make Flash CS5.5 Movie play through one time

I have created a movie in Flash Professional CS5.5 which has two scenes in it, and I want iot to only play through a single time and then stop....
I opened it originally as a Flash Project, completed the first scene which was an opening screne with a company logo on it, and then a second scene which is product placement images for the department. I have tried creating a new layer, and adding an action to the last keyframe by opening the action tab, and typing in stop();
Unfortunately, this does not seem to do anything really, and I am confused here. If someone could PLEASE explain to me how to insert a break at the end of scene two, I will be eternally indebted!!
Oh yeah, and thanks in advance....

None that I know of. I would recommend against using scenes, but if you have no other code then that recommendation is less meaningful. Scenes are better off when used for strict animation, designs that have no code involved.
The stop() will work, you have to figure out what is keeping it from working. Compiler errors are only one way of getting the stop to not work. As I said, if you have some other code in the file it might be defeating the purpose of that stop()
(ps - your description of what you did is not exactly what I said to do)

HT3775 I have a webpage where I embeded more than 2 quicktime players. I want that at a time , only one player is played. When second player is played the first one should stop. I am using simple EMBED / OBJECT tags to embed the player.
