Problems inserting flash movie into webpage

I am trying to insert 2 different flash movies on one webpage
One is a banner made in flash cs4 that works fine.
The other is a movie that I encoded with flash cs4 from a m4v file. When i test this file using the flash player on my computer everything works fine.
When i try to play on the webpage it shows there is flash object in dreamweaver but is blank in webbrowser.(right clicking shows there is flash there but nothing loads)
I have managed to get the movie working on a completly blank html file except that there are no controls (controls work fine in the flash player on computer)
As far as I can deduce it's not the html file because one swf file works ok
It's not how i'm inserting it onto the page because dreamweaver is doing it for me(and including the nessecary javascript etc)
It's not the movie because that works in the flash player on it's own.
So i'm stumped
any ideas guys?
(if it's any help the webpage it's on is www.csdrummer.co.uk , click on top right image on sidebar, has play button, under navigation)
Thanks
Jamie

I'm sorry I missunderstood the post from earlier. If I add the flv file in dreamweaver and upload the corresponding swf all works well but the flv file is 45mb which is a bit large for a 3 min video.
What i would like to do is turn this into a swf file. But this is where the problem is happening. THe swf when i export from flash wont work, comes up in the browser as doesn't load

Problem inserting Flash movie into a Dreamweaver page

Hi, I've inserted a .swf movie on this page. It used to work, but doesn't now. In Dreamweaver (CC), when I highlight the movie and click 'Play' in the Property Inspector it works (but doesn't in 'Live' view within DW).
Please be gentle about my code. I'm a hobbyist and started this site about 7 years ago so don't have time to keep up with latest coding trends! Answers re. non-appearance of movie only, please.

Flash really isn't the way to do this anymore, very few people viewing your site with a mobile device are going to be able to see your .swf. Adobe stopped mobile Flash development a few years back and most devices that used to be able to see Flash, no longer ship with a Flash plug-in. Certain devices, like all Apple iOS devices, never had the ability and there is no way to add it to those.
Since it appears when uploaded, I would guess the reason it doesn't work locally likely has something to do with your machine's security settings, especially if Microsoft is involved in the equation somewhere. If it works when uploaded, you're good to go.
HTML5 <video>, CSS3 and jQuery (javascript) are now the default for video and animation for websites since they're compatible with virtually all devices used to browse the internet.

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.

Problem inserting Flash video into DW CS3 template

I would like to insert some flash video into an editable
region inside a DW CS3 template. The template I am using seems to
work for literally hundreds of other pages I have made (none of
which, incidentally, have any media of any kind in them).
I have created the template and then an editable region and
now want to insert the flash video in that editable region. All
goes well until I hit the OK button. then I get this error--Making
this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator The change will be discarded.
Can anyone suggest how I might over come this error??
Thx.
Jane

The problem is the detection option in the video insertion
dialog. If you
disable that option, you will not get the error.
This is a problem because the detection routine requires a
modification to
the <body> tag (insertion of an onload event) which you
cannot easily do in
a template child page.
If you really must have the detection, then you can copy and
past the load
call from a dummy (non-templated) page on which you have also
done the same
insertion. Post back with that page's body tag code, and I'll
show you
how....

Problems inserting flash movies with DW CS 3

I just started playing with DW CS3 and I got a feeling I'm
doing something wrong here but when I go place a Flash SWF in a
Dreamweaver HTML page the Flash portion of the page is not showing
up when the site is placed on a sever and looked at over the net,
I've tested it on a couple of PC's now so I'm pretty sure its not
the brower messing up.
Now’s here’s the crazy thing. When I preview the
page from DW CS3 the flash elements are coming up just fine!
They look like there is some kind of auto swfObject attached
to them cause of the removal of the "click here to activate this
control" message.
I've been using Dreamweaver 8 as a work around but this
seems really strange to me any one got any ideas on what’s
going on here?
Thx for the help

Inserting flash movie ...

Hi,
Maybe I am just stupid right now ... I have a large mpeg
movie from a client
that needs to go on their website, and here is what I do:
I open the Adobe Flash CS3 Video encoder, add the mpeg, set
my preferences,
and let the encoder convert it to a .flv and copy the file
into the web
site. In DW I then chose "insert flash movie", chose the skin
etc. and it
creates the necessary files and the script. Then I upload the
whole thing
with all its dependent files (including the scripts folder, I
also took the
script out of the folder and put it in the root, nothing) ...
and nothing.
The page loads, but the movie is invisible! If I mouse over
it behaves as if
there is indeed something on the page. But nothing visible.
I've done it now a dozen times in a row, then I switched to
another web on
another server, same result ... nothing visible, no movie.
I am so frustrated I could ....
HELP
Barbara

When you moved the script, did you correct the path to it in
your page?

Inserting Flash movies

I often insert .swf files in my html pages however, lately I
have been trying to insert flash movies in the middle of a bunch of
text. I do something similar with and then, using the property
inspector's align dialog box, I either set the image to be on the
right, the left, or one of the other options. By doing that, the
image looks the way I want it to with the text wrapping around it.
I see that the same type of options appear in the property
inspector when I insert a .swf file but I don't get the desired
result as I do with images. The only way I can fake the look I want
is by putting the flash movie in it's own cell in a table and
breaking up the text above,below or next to the movie the best way
that I can but this is not reliable and I sometimes end up with too
much white space. Is there a parameter I need to set or a style to
add to the swf object? I'd appreciate any suggestions.Thank
you.

Integrate an interactive flash movie into a Java component?

Is it possible to integrate a flash movie into a Java component? - say by shoving a certain web page into a JEditorPane (content type = html)? - even if java doesn't know anything about it?

Theoretically... yes.
You would have to write a java flash player... so... no - for real.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

Hi -
I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
I'm going to: Insert - Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle. But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software). This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others. This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
thanks!
Stacey Stanley

This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
1) Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters? If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
2) Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file. Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
3) When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server? Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

CS3 Flash Movies in Webpages Problem

I know how to make a generic flash movie player and all that
in flash cs3 with their tutorials/quick import, but i cant quite
seem how to find this:
When you say embed a youtube video to myspace, or online they
don't auto load, instead they seem to have a swf button with the
big play icon sitting there till you hit it, then it loads the
animation and autoplays.
What coding does this? Is there a tutorial?
Someone told me to just do this but didn't know the coding on
how to do it or any tutorials online to do it:
-If you do not want the Flash file to load until a user
clicks on a play button, take a screen capture of the first frame
of your movie.
-Put it on your html page and then make a button that looks
like your play button in the movie.
-Put this button in a DIV and then place the DIV where you
want it on your screen capture image.
-Have this button replace the image with the Movie SWF file.
Basically what you are trying to do is trick the user into
thinking it's the SWF file, but only loading the SWF file when the
user clicks on the fake play button.
Any Ideas?

you should be able to stop the playback of either the swf
file timeline itself or a video - depending on which you are using.
if it on the timeline (a regular swf file) place a - stop(); -
method on the first frame - then place a graphic 'over the top' of
everything that is a button instance - then you would code a
handler for the button, that a) removes the button, and b) calls
the timeline to start using the play(); method.
if you are streaming in a FLV video, you will need to turn
off the autoplay property, and then create a similar button, and
use the play() method of the FLVPlayback component class.
either way it's going to be easier than constructing all that
other stuff and the JS to go along with it.

Problem inserting flash from flash 8

I am using flash 8 and dreamweaver 8. When I place a flash
header into my web page there is a space created between the header
and the lower content on the page. My publish setting in flash are
set at default. Thanks for any help.

This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
1) Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters? If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
2) Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file. Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
3) When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server? Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

How to insert a movie into a slideshow?

I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. I'm creating a slide show, and I want to insert a video into the slideshow, so that I manually advance through the slides (I know how to set that up), and then manually start the movie, after which I manually step through the remaining slides.
The problem is that I can't find a way to get the movie into the slideshow. I created the movie in iMovie HD 6.0.3, and I have exported it as a self-contained QuickTime movie using QuickTime Pro. I just can't find a way to get the movie into the slideshow. Is it even possible with iPhoto 6.0.6?
Thanks!

Movie files can't be added to slideshows in iPhoto 6. That wasn't a feature until iPhoto 8 (09).
You can use a 3rd party slideshow creator app like PhotoPresenter which as over 20 animated themes, some of which can be viewed in this demo page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes

Problem inserting a gif into a blob field in a table with sqldev / forms6i

Problem solved - For those that might be interested, the errors don't make much sense - the problem was with the gif. Seems that these 28 gifs plus the new scans were saved from the scanner with
GIF - LZW, Transparent color: 255
Converting them to Black and white allowed them to be loaded.
If anyone understands why, I'd like to know
glenn
I was previously having a problem deleting a row with a blob and it was suggested that I create the table using rowdependencies - which I did as follows.
CREATE TABLE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE2"
(     "FG_FIGURENAME" VARCHAR2(18 BYTE),
     "FG_FIGURE" BLOB,
     CONSTRAINT "FG_FIGURENAME_NN" CHECK ("FG_FIGURENAME" IS NOT NULL) ENABLE
) ROWDEPENDENCIES;
Then I copied my data from my previous table with the following - and everything came across
INSERT INTO MDD_FIGURE2 (fg_figurename, fg_figure)
SELECT FIG_FIGNAME, FIG_FIGURE FROM MDD_FIGURE;
mdd_figure2 was then renamed to mdd_figure
The table, Mdd_Figure, already contains some 2000+ .gifs that were successfully loaded with Forms 6i (yes, I know it is old, but I am stuck with having to use it). All the .gifs I am loading are from scans and all are less than 64k. However, 28 .gifs would not load. When I insert the .gif into the field and committed the form, the status message tells me a record was written but when I check it, the blob is empty.
So, when I try to insert one of these problem .gifs in SqlDeveloper, I open the new mdd_figure table, select the blob field, open the edit dialog, set it to figure, select the .gif that I want to load and then save it. The blob field changes from NULL to BLOB, but it is empty. When I try to commit, I get the following error from SqlDev.
UPDATE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE" SET WHERE ROWID = 'AAAOeWAAEAAABAlAAz' AND ORA_ROWSCN = '358136842'
One error saving changes to table "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE":
Row 14: ORA-01410: invalid ROWID
I use rollback to restore the record to it's previous state.
If I load one of the successfully loaded .gifs into the same field, it loads perfectly as follows.
UPDATE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE" SET WHERE ROWID = 'AAAOeWAAEAAABAoAAp' AND ORA_ROWSCN = '358136522'
Commit Successful
It appears the 28 gifs have a problem. I've re-scanned them, with the same results. They are just small scanned line map images from our earlier publications. They view properly in several different graphics programs and I can't find anything wrong with them.
I notice that the ROWID's are different while the ORA_ROWSCN's are the same - but what is the significance of that?
Any suggestions as to what is happening and what I can do about it?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Problem - insert JSON string into table in CLR function

Hi
I create a CLR function to insert JSON string into table.
With this line

Embed one Flash movie into another

I have two flash movies (fm1 and fm2). fm2 is imported into
fm1 and contains a function
function test()
return(123);
fm1 also contains a function
function test2()
return(456)
I'd like to call the function test from fm1 and also call
test2 from fm2.
Is this possible?

Yes but you will have to locate the function. For example:
_parent.test1(); can be called from fm2
If you load fm2 into a movieclip which has the Instance Name
"fm2" then you can get to the function in fm2 by using
_root.fm2.test2();
I hope it helps.
