Playing SWF and corresponding FLV on standalone computer

I have nice results encoding AVI's with Flash CS3 Video
Encoder, and making SWF with embedded chapters, in Action Script 3
with Flash CS3 Professional.
I put these SWF's and FLV's on DVD; they are nicely played on
my computer, in the Adobe Flash Player 9.0 r115 of the Flash CS3
Professional.
I want to play this DVD on other computers, not provided with
Flash CS3 Professional: which Flash Player could I download for
that purpose; Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 doesn't work.
Could you help me finding an adequate player, and where to
download it?
Thank you very much in advance; greetings from Belgium,
Marc Kunnen

For SWF files you can download the Flash player installers from
this page. These can be installed in the appropriate computers if they don't already have it installed.
For FLV files you can download the standalone
FLV Player. Works great.
Of course, Adobe's own
Media Player is up and coming, but at this point is still a pre-release. You can use it, but it can't be guaranteed to be trouble free at this point.

Playing SWF files in FLV Player

Hi,
               I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. If so, please tell me the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
Regards,
          Sreelash.

Thank for your reply friend. I understood what u said. Actually the requirement for the client is to stream swf file as streaming flv file. So I think, in the server side we have to use converter. I meant, if the client put the swf files in the server, the server side program calls the converter before streaming to the client side.
The functionality what I meant is following:
1) The client request for an swf file.
2) In the server side, it is placed as swf files.
3) Then, programmatically the server side code invokes the converter and convert the swf file to flv file before          streaming.
4) This is what I meant the use of converter.
I hope you understood what I meant. Can I have your mail id please. Because in forum not everyone reply for the doubts. Also I am the only action script programmer in my company and I have only 5 months experience. My mail id is [email protected]
Thanks and Regards,
              Sreelash.S.

Firefox should display .swf and .flv files without Adobe. You can do it can't you?

If the program, 'Media Player Classic' can play .swf and .flv files, the surely Firefox programmers can do for those what was done for .pdf files. PLEASE!

hello, mozilla is indeed working on it, but this is not an easy task...

Difference between a Flash *.swf and a Flash *.flv video?

What is the difference between a *.swf and a *.flv video?
AFAIK both are Flash videos.
Are they compatible?
Is there a player (not from MS) which plays both videos?
Peter

Im guessing you're a complete newbie to all this, so in
simplistic terms:
- The FLA is the source flash file (the bit that contains all
the design stuff and code). When you publish a FLA, it creates a
SWF file.
- The FLV file is a video which has been converted to flash
video format.
- A SWF displays anything thats been created within the FLA
to provide things like a wizzy website, advertising banner or can
be used to show a FLV (flash video) with added functions. Although
it sort of points to the video rather than storing it inside (so
the file is smaller and manageable)
The benefits of using a SWF to play FLV's is that it displays
at lot quicker. F4V's (another variance) I've now discovered,
although are larger files, also display very quickly even with
larger files.
In terms of playback - do you want to view online or offline?
to view online, you just need to make sure you have flash
installed on whatever machine you're using - pc/mac.
to view offline (from your hard disc), download the Adobe
Media Player

Playing SWF While Loading

Hi!
I am developing a SWF player. The application plays SWF instead of FLV. The SWF, that has to be played is a simple static movie.
The application requires SWF to be played while it's being loaded just like FLV's get played.
Now, Is there any way to play SWF file while it's being loaded??
Thanks in advance.

Whether the loading-movie has to load completely depends on how it is setup. If it is setup properly, it can start earlier.
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1134737/showing-a-flash-file-immediately-while-loading
So you're going to load an external swf library. I think it should be possible to get the number of frames used in that swf, but I can't tell you how.

Loading a swf with FLVPlayback component, and the flv restarts playing by itself......

Hi.
i have an fla file with 5 keyframes. Each keyframe navigates forward to the following keyframe. On the fifth keyframe, a Loader loads an external swf. The external swf has an flv playback component with sound.
The fifth keyframe, other than having a button to click to load the swf, has a movie clip that navigates you back to the first keyframe.
The loaded swf, once loaded, may be removed using removeThis function which has removeChild code as well as a _flv.stop(); which makes the flv stop when the swf is removed. So u're back on keyframe 5, no sound - good!.
ASo, all is well and the user can navigate back to the first keyframe (from keyframe 5), and from there continue on to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th keyframes again, problems start though, when you get to that 5th keyframe again: that keyframe has an FLVPlayback component playing an flv, which at that point becomes very sluggish as all the mc animations on that 5th frame. And worse, i realize, the flv in the external swf that was previously loaded, starts playing by itself, which i know, because i hear its sound track.
I tried putting a conditional statement to tell the _flv to stop on keyframes 1 and 5, but that causes errors, considering that the flv is an undefined property from the perspective of those keyframes.
Any help would be very appreciated:)
thanks.

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("_.swf"));
house.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadswf1);
function loadswf1(event:MouseEvent):void
addChild(loader);
this is how i'm loading the swf. I tried using Loader.unloadAndStop() inside that loadswf function but get an error -
Scene 1, Layer 'a', Frame 75, Line 83
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method unloadAndStop through a reference with static type Class.

Help newbie understand .swf and .flv

I don't know if I'm the idiot or if I'm dealing with some.
I'm from a video background and trying to learn the web end
of things, had never looked at Flash before this situation. I
produced some videos for a client, each is 4-5 minutes in length.
They want to post them on their web site and asked for .swf files.
After reading up it seemed what I should do was produce an .flv
file of the movie from Final Cut then create a .swf from that in
Flash, send both off; the web company would post them in the same
folder and it would run perfectly. I fumbled my way through doing
that for the first clip, and it played great on my computer (much
to my surprise, nothing ever works the first time). I sent both
files off to the client and got a snippy letter back that they
wanted only an .swf, not 2 files to deal with. I tried embedding
the .flv in the .swf and of course it played like crap, audio out
of sync, etc. They are an ad agency and don't seem to want to let
me talk to the folks actually posting the stuff. So:
Am I just missing something huge in the workflow, is there a
way to embed a long video and make it play cleanly?
Doesn't the web hosting company usually produce the .swf file
so they can control the look of the interface?

Thanks for your reply.
I eventually got everything working with swfobject.
I think i'm finally getting the hang of flash, well the basic stuff anyway, lol.

I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs. Why?

I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs (just a blank area where the SWF should be). When I detach the template it will play the flash file. This site will eventually be updated via Adobe Contribute. And I just discovered that when applying a template to a page that uses HTML datasets (Master/Detail),it no longer reads the Master/detail regions and displays a blank. Any thoughts?
[Moved to Dreamweaver forum by moderator]

Firstly, you shouldn't really 'apply' a template to a page, you should create a child page by going to FILE>NEW>Page from Template. Too many things can happen when applying a template the way you are doing it. eg:; editable and non-editable regions not matching up and being asked where to place these regions and in all likelihood, you end up with 2 or more of the same region.
When a swf file is inserted into a page, a corresponding Scripts folder is written automatically is stored in the root of the site - it is also linked to in the head of the document. What I believe is happening is that when you apply a template to the page, the Template has no idea that there is a swf file on the page and is not aware of the correct link to the Scripts folder. If you do a test and add the swf file to the template page itself, I bet that the links to the swf and the scripts folder are correct - because DW knows the correct path to the script file. Hence the reason the page probably works when you detach it from a template.

Flash .swf and .flv player

I need to put a link, "view movie," on a website page. The movie is an .swf, and I'd like a Flash media viewer to open in a window (about 400x400px) when the link is clicked. I don't need the viewer to be a permanent part of the page -- I just want it to open in a pop-up window that can be closed when the person viewing is finished. I know I can just insert the .swf and it will open on link click in a separate window and autoplay (Dreamweaver CS4), but there are no start, stop or volume buttons on that window, and it doesn't look like I can insert them from the behaviors panel. I don't have Flash on my computer. I just need to be able to allow a movie to be played on my webite.
Any suggestions for low-priced, but good extensions? If not needing an extension, any other good fixes?
Tom

What happens when you change it - does it work?
If not, you may be better off to ask in the Flash or Dreamweaver forum, as this is not really a Flash Player question.

SWF and HTML won't play stand alone

My .swf and.html files won't play on their own even with
latest Flash player installed (flash player 9). The html will play
if right clicked and internet explorer is selected manually, but
not on its own. Both files will play on their on when on a computer
with Flash installed. I finished the project and published them
using Flash 8, what's going on? I didn't see anything in the
release notes. Anyone have an idea or had this problem?
Thanks!

Looks to me like the issue is indeed your CMS. The flash content is loaded in a lightbox, which is most likely controlled by some JavaScript or ASP. My guess would be that the problem lies with the paths to the files. The swf file that the lightbox loads is referenced in your CMS so it knows where to get it - the thing is that most likely it is not played from the location where it's located but instead played from the location where the lightbox script is loaded. Since the 4 SWF's you have are not located there it won't be able to find it.
Also this lightbox approach isn't very good for this type of content. The demo is extremely small and the alignment of the Flash file looks weird. Instead just use the HTML file generated by Captivate and upload that to a directory in your CMS. Then change the link you have so it opens the HTML file in a new window and everything should work out just fine.

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. What is happening?

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. The error message said that my computer didn't have the capabilities, but I have several other HD movies that I have always and can still watch without issue. Just this one doesn't work. Why, and do you know how to fix this?

Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.
