Playing flv files in Adobe Reader 7

I created some pdf documents using Acrobat 9 Pro into which I added links to streamed flv files. This worked fine with the video playing in the pop up box but when I put it on the web people opening it with Reader 7 could not play the flv and were prompted to upgrade to Reader 9.2 (which worked). Unfortunately I can't rely on people being able to upgrade and want to find a way fro flv files to be playable via Reader 7. I've tried creating them in Acrobat 7 Pro but couldn't get that to work.  Does anyone have any ideas about why this doesn't work and what to do? Thanks

Your experience is better, than mine. I look after a website for a Electronics Servicing organization. I've created many PDF using Acrobat 3 - 7.0.7 (the older versions on OS9. I use OSX.3.9 on a G4-500 using 1.5 Gb of System RAM. And I uses OSX.4.5 on a PowerBook 17" using 2 GB of system RAM. Since switch to Acrobat 6 and then 7 I've never been able to have anyone view a PDF created in 6 or 7 Format. The File appears to be there and the file fize indicates it has content. Whether viewing on a PC or a Mac. If viewed on a PC all that is seen is a Blank page with no text, and if it had a graphic no graphic is shown. If however; the person on the other end happens to have Acrobat or Reader 6 they can view the Acrobat 6 Files. And If they have 7 they can see the 6 and 7 files as well as anything below. However; most of the PC viewers I deal with still use Acrobat or Reader 5. Its these viewers I find that can't view the files. I've noticed also that when you do getinfo on a Acro/Reader, or 7 File created on my computer that in the thumbnail preview, all you see is the Acrobat A symbol, or a Blank thumbnail. Opening in 7 they can be viewed. Opening in 5 (I still have a OS9 Drive and e.5.0.5 installed) all I get is a Blank page no text and no Graphics if any in the content. SO every since 6 and 7 have come out I've had to save, then optimize for Acrobat 5 in order for my readers to see the pdf's.

  • Play flv file in Adobe Flash Player

    I am new to flash. Can the Adobe Flash player play an
    external flv file directly? I tried and it can't play. It looks
    like the flash player can only play swf file. How does the flv file
    get played by the Adobe Flash Player?
    Thanks.

    No it can't, you need SWF to load the file within.

  • Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

    I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me  on her macbook pro.  It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play  flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media  Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro,  we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media  Player.
    She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe  Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on  her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that  didn't help.  She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system.  When  she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she  gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the  video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming  should be required.
    The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection  error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load  but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no  connection to the server or the stream was not found."
    Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file  into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we  know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something  is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix  it?

    I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
    Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
    As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
    So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
    - TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
    - I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
    - I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
    CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

  • How to create a .f4m manifest files to play .FLV files

    I typically use .f4v files for my on demand playback media files, however I converted a .mov to a .flv file...  How do I create a .f4m and .m3u8 manifest file that plays .flv files?  Below is the code I normally use for the .f4m and .m3u8 files.  This works great with .f4v files.  I also included my player code.  What am I doing wrong?  The only difference is I'm using a .flv that I didn't use the f4vpp cleaner on..  That shouldn't give me the parse error I'm getting.
    022714.f4m is the name of my .f4m Flash manifest file.  Below are the contents.

    to create a file in appl server you have to use open dataset and close data set..
    see the sample code
    REPORT zanid_test MESSAGE-ID zz .
    parameters:  FULLPATH(128) obligatory lower case
                          default 'E:\usr\sap\put\file.txt'.
    *you change the appl sever path as per your config.
    DATA : BEGIN OF list_asc OCCURS 0,
            msg(300) TYPE c,
           END OF list_asc.
    start-of-selection.
    *---populating data
    list_asc-msg = 'abcdefghijkl'. "your sample data
    append list_asc.
    list_asc-msg = 'faagoaagiagig'. "your sample data
    append list_asc.
    OPEN DATASET fullpath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    LOOP AT LIST_ASC.
          TRANSFER  LIST_ASC-MSG TO fullpath.
          CLEAR LIST_ASC-MSG.
    ENDLOOP.
    CLOSE DATASET fullpath.
    now if you go to appl server , you will find that file in that specified path..
    to create a directory yu can go to transaction AL11 and click the 'konfigurieren'button, you then you can specify the directory attibutes to create a directory
    and to load a file from your loacl pc to appl server you can use transaction CG3Y also, instead of the abap code.
    plz rewrad points if it helps you.

  • Nokia 5800 won't play flv files

    I've had my 5800 for about half a year. My Software version is V31.2.101 (this is the most up-to-date version I can have according to my Nokia Software Updater)
    For some reason when I try to play flv files (approx. 30-100mb), a completely white screen shows up with a "broken" flashplayer symbol in the upper left corner.
    What's wrong? How do I play flv files on my Nokia?
    I've read in lots of places before that the 5800 can play flv files straight out of the box. =/ mine can't
    btw, I can play mp4 files, but it's a pain because I have to convert the flv files first
    and I have Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 installed. (atleast that's what it says when I select a video and go to "Options" - "About application")

    As far as I was aware, the 5800 didn't play FLC - it certainly isn't listed here:
    http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5800_XpressMusic/
    However, even if it was possible, it may depend on the way the FLVs were encoded - things like the frame rate could cause playback incompatibilities.

  • I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

    I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments.  When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open.  I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen.  It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled.  It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted.  In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server".  On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off.  Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either.  I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before.  I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem.  I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist.  I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem.  I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

  • C7: How to play .FLV files on Nokia C7

    Can I ask how do you play .FLV files on Nokia C7? I searched for FLV player in the Ovi Store and nothing is returned, whereas on Android Market loads of FLV players are available.

    I couldn't find an FLV player either. But you can download freemake video converter from internet. Its really a very good converter and I transfer my vids to C7 only after converting to C7 resolution because it makes the processor to do less work. If you transfer an HD vid directly to phone it will play fine but will cost u battery life. (more processor usage)
