Putting keyframe in flash video

I need to put a key frame in an .flv file
More specifically, I'm just converting a video into FLV using the Adobe Media Encoder. I'm primarily a web designer, not a video guy, I've always just used the built in Insert FLV function in Dreamweaver to put Flash Video in. However, when autoplay is off I need to know how to control what frame shows up on the front of the video before it starts playing. Thanks!

I think what you want is called a "poster frame" and as far as I know there isn't any way to do that when creating an FLV. If there is I'd love to hear about it.
You could either edit the original so that it has one frame at the beginning or take a screen shot from your moving, bring it into flash and write some code to have it show over the flv player and then go away when the movie starts.
If anybody else knows something more...

  • How to embed a flash video into a logo?

    Hello,
    I'm new to flash and dreamweaver and I'm slowly trying to learn it.  I have created a a flash logo for my website (http://www.emorgenstern.com) and I'm trying to extend the background color to cover the rest of top.
    In dreamweaver I have put the embedded flash video in a div class and modified the class to extend the entire length with the proper background color.  In dreamweaver everything looks right but when I upload the actual .html and .css file it does not appear right.  The actual testing link is http://emorgenstern.com/emorgen/emorgen/index.html
    Below is the code for those sections.
    Here is the .html file
    <div class= "banner">
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="468" height="60"   title="banner">

    Your code is kind of messy.  Use the validation tools below and fix reported errors.
    HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org 
    CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/  
    HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
    Where did you get the CSS style sheet you're using?  It looks like an experiment, and not a real world CSS.  You might be better off using one of the the pre-built CSS layouts that ships with DW CS4.
    Anyway, to answer you question.  In your HTML, move your  flash code between this:
    <div id="Header">
    and this
    </div>
    In your CSS, change all this:
    /*#Header {
        margin:50px 0px 10px 0px;
        padding:17px 0px 0px 20px;
        height:33px;
        border-style:solid;
        border-color:black;
        border-width:1px 0px;
        line-height:11px;
        background-color:#eee;
        voice-family: "\"}\"";
        voice-family:inherit;
        height:14px;
    body>#Header {height:14px;}
    to this:
    #Header {
        width: 100%;
        background-color:#eee;

  • Flash Video Playback problem in CS4/CS5

    I need to put a Flash Video on my website, embedded in one of the existing html pages.
    When my developer puts together a Flash Video in Flash CS4 or CS5 using ActionScript 3, the video does not play - t just keeps buffering (showing a striped appearance on the seek bar) and will not play unless I refresh the browser.
    I've tried copying the code from the html page that came with the set of swf and flv files and that doesn't work either.
    Just inserting the swf file into the web page like we used to do in CS3 and earlier does not wor.
    I noticed that now with ActionScript 3 there is no ACRunActiveContent.js file.
    Videos created using CS3 and ActionScript 2 seem to work just fine on web pages.
    Wonder what i can do to use CS4 and CS5 videos and have them play on html pages?
    Any ideas anyone?

    Just to clarify:
    Creating a Flash Video swf in CS5 (or even CS4) with ActionScript 3 requires the video to be embedded in the web page a bit differently than we were used to with CS3 and AS2.
    While the newer versions of Flash do use a different method (using swfobject) when "Publishing" a Flash .swf, it is NOT required to do so. In fact neither swfobject nor ACRun... are required to display Flash of any version (AS1, 2, or 3) on a Web page. The simple single object method will work just fine:
    <object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
      <param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
      <param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
    </object>
    Both ACRun and swfobject are "Flash Detection" methods used to display some alternative content if Flash is not detected... they are NOT needed to simply display the Flash .swf.
    However, you can't use half ACRun code and half swfobject code....it must be either one or the other... and either would display AS3 players just fine.... as would the single object method.
    Best wishes,

  • Put Flash Video on an iPod?

    Has anyone tried to sabve Flash Video files (flv) so that they can be imported to an iPod?
    Thx,

    The iPod cannot play flash video. It can only play video that meets the following requirements:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    You'd have to find a way to convert the flash movie into some compatible format that meets the specifications above.

  • Putting Flash Video Online

    Have a limited time to get up a site...really having trouble
    with Flash Video...I think I know where I am stuck...I seem to have
    no trouble encoding and publishing videos, I think where I am going
    wrong is when I use the component inspecter to add a 'content
    path'...I am stumped because Im not sure where exactly this path is
    supposed to go! I have my own server online where I am uploading
    all my HTML files...If anybody could explain in really simple terms
    where this path is supposed to go, (Ex: where the file will be
    uploaded to, the address of the file when it has been uploaded
    etc...) I dont seem to be having any luck with this...was also
    hoping for some more help if anybody knew how to link to a flash
    video, so it would pop up in its own window without going to
    another page...I have a list of video descriptions on my html
    webpage...and along the list are thumbnail images, i am hoping that
    when they are clicked on, the flash video will pop up, and voila!
    My mission will be complete...
    Thanks to any kind souls who help me, you have much gratitude
    coming your way!!!

  • Flash videos embedded in Facebook don't appear when played

    My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Internet Explorer 11, and Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145. I have Microsoft Security Essentials and an activated copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware protecting me from viruses and malware, and my IT department confirms that there is no malware infection playing a role here.
    I am, however, having an odd and very frustrating problem with playing all Adobe Flash videos which are embedded inside of Facebook.com, including those which are shared from YouTube. Opening the same YouTube video in YouTube.com does not produce the same behavior - YouTube videos ALWAYS play fine on YouTube.com (whether embedded or full-screen), but NEVER play fine when they are embedded inside of a Facebook post.
    NOTE: The same videos work EXACTLY AS EXPECTED in Firefox and Google Chrome, so this seems to be an IE-specific issue. This started back when I was running IE10 and has continued over into IE11.
    Here is what happens in both Internet Explorer 10 and 11:
    In my Facebook news feed, I locate a video I would like to watch. Before pressing Play, I see a still shot from the video with the Play icon transposed on top of the picture.
    I click the Play icon to play the video in Facebook's embedded mode (where I can see other news feed messages above and below the video).
    The picture disappears and turns to white (no borders, just white). Along the bottom edge of the video is a bar containing the play/pause, volume, maximize, etc. buttons. Behind these buttons I can see a faded-yet-moving view of the bottom edge of the video, but the rest of the video area is completely white.
    I hear the audio playing, even though I can't see any picture other than that lower edge I just described.
    If I click the maximize button at the bottom right edge of the video, the video opens to fill the screen and the video picture suddenly appears and runs as expected.
    If I press ESC to get out of maximize view, the embedded Facebook screen (with the video again back to the news feed context) returns, but the picture goes white again just as in step 3, with the audio still playing as in step 4.
    Right clicking on the offending video brings up a drop-down menu indicating that the video is using Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145.
    Other videos shared in Facebook, like those from vimeo.com, play without any problem in the same Facebook.com news feed view, regardless of whether they are in embedded or in full-screen mode. Only videos using Adobe Flash Player seem affected here.
    I have tried the following:
    Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player. Reboot. Open Facebook.com, find the video in the news feed, which indicates that Adobe Flash must be installed. Click the link provided and install Adobe Flash from adobe.com. Return to the video in my news feed on facebook.com and click play. Same behavior as described above - no change.
    Added facebook.com and youtube.com to my Trusted Sites list. No change.
    Added facebook.com and youtube.com to IE's compatibility view, exited all instances of the browser, reopened. No change.
    Checked for unusual browser add-ons - none found.
    Cleared web cache, deleted cookies, reset browsers to default settings and default advanced settings - no change
    Checked Windows Updates - all updates are current.
    Ran full scans of Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes. No malware or issues found. No issues found with roguekiller, adwcleaner, and other malware-related tools either.
    Any suggestions for me here? I'd really just like to click Play and see the embedded video like everybody else can. FYI, all other computers (running Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8) on my network play these same videos in IE9, IE10, and IE11 without the problems I'm having with this one. I'd sure appreciate any help you can offer!

    Not that the moment.  It's not ideal, but you have two working options, which is better than none. 
    In all likelihood, the content providers are going to have to change code to accommodate IE11 and higher.  I spent a bunch of time this week reviewing some technical guidance that we're putting together for developers, but the long and short of it is that IE wants to developers to stop writing code that handles IE differently than other browsers. 
    IE has a history of not exactly working like other browsers, and for a multitude of reasons (including how JavaScript and Flash communicate to each other), developers as a standard practice wrote a lot of code to specifically handle these quirks in IE.
    To get out of this impossible position where they want markup to be the same for all browsers, but having all of this code targeted specifically at IE because of the long legacy of being problematic for web developers, IE masquerades as something else and disables features like conditional comments that allowed code to target IE.
    The net result is that a lot of stuff is broken in IE11.  We're working closely with Microsoft to be good partners and help them through this transition with a few technical changes on our end, but developers are going to have to change their code and/or update the underlying libraries all over the web.  This is not going to happen overnight.  Big content providers with more resources will probably move faster than smaller sites with less developers, but it's going to be months or years before all of this shakes out.

  • Flash video not working in IE

    I’ve been making a couple of websites that need to
    stream a little bit of Flash video. So I put together a little
    Flash video selector swf using the simplest code (it has nothing
    more than go to and play commands on the buttons and stop commands
    on the timeline).
    I’m also using the standard Flash wizard to stream the
    video files using the low quality pre-sets on the transcoding.
    I’ve used this method before and it seemed to work, but now
    when I’m testing these sites in IE the Flash element seems to
    crash all the time and freeze up the whole browser or the video
    just doesn’t display. The weird thing is it usually plays the
    first video but when you click the button to move to another it
    crashes.
    Here’s a couple of sites that it’s happening on
    http://www.virtual360.org/v360/1.html
    http://www.virtual360.org/video.asp
    – they work fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Has anyone
    seen this problem before? Any help would be much appreciated…
    Kieran

    Thanks. I'm not clear where you're referring to. There are currently two object tags. One has <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...> like you describe. The other has a different format.
    I'm not clear on what/where I'm supposed to change.
    Thanks...

  • Flash Video Newbie Question

    Hello
    I 've recently put a flash video on my site and used this code:
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,16,0"

    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="240"
    width="360"></object>
    The video works but there's no play button (works only with right click and play). Does adobe flash have play/control buttons?
    Please advice me..

    are your trying to display a swf only or a video (flv)?
    if an flv, you can get flash to display controls by using an flvplayback component.  if a swf, you'll need to add your own buttons to play and stop your swf.
    in either case, that's not complete embedding code.  use the html file published by flash.

  • Flash video players on separate webpages

    I tried desperately to upload multiple videos with quicktime player,  then I decided to return to the tried and true flv. format and purchased a flv. an xml video player component.  Everything works fine and I uploaded it to my webpage index.3  It works great.
    Then I decided to put other videos on the second page of my webpage index.4 BUT the videos from index.3 are playing on index.4.  I tried to change the swf files to swf and swf1 so that they would not overlap each other BUT I think the problem is the content folder for the video player it has a data.xml folder for each video player.  I put all of the images for both video players in the same image folder and I put all of the video for each of the video players in the same video folder because I didn't think I could have TWO image folders and TWO video folders uploaded to the same webpage with the same names.
    Then with two video players (its actually the same video player I'm using on two different html pages)  I have an:
    ro  file
    a videoPlayer.as
    swfobject file
    gs file
    Can I use these same files for both video players when I upload them to the internet?  If not do I rename the files
    ro1
    videoplayer1.as
    swfobject1
    gs file
    Both video players work when they are on the internet, the problem is that the flv video from index.3 is playing on index.4.  All of the flv videos have different names.
    I would appreciate any help I can get.  Thank you.

    What is an ro file and a gs file? I'm guessing that you are using a third party flv player and not the player that comes with Flash. In any case an flv player, original issue or not, will play any .flv file that you throw at it, usually. The file to be played can be hard coded into the player or, the player may use an external text or .xml file to tell it what .flv file to use. This information may also be in a variable that the swfobject.js file reads. The videoPlayer.as file is an external actionscript file that will be used by the flash player file. The name of the .flv file may also be hidden in there.
    So it's difficult to know which or how many of these files need to be unique to each of the html pages.

  • Squashed Flash Video in iWeb

    This is a stumper and I could really use a freah perspective on it. 
    I have been trying to get a Flash movie on my iWeb site bu using the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site here...
    http://iwebunlimited.com/iweb-tips/iweb-tip-9-flash-video-in-iweb-jw-player/
    The problem I have is that when I publish my changes in iWeb and point my browser to the page the movie is on, the movie plays as a litttle squashed box in the middle of the player.  Let me explain...
    I followed the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site to the letter.  I have downloaded the .swf and .js files, placed them in a folder called "flash" on my iDisk as well as my .flv movie file and a screengrab of the same size.
    I have changed all the parameters in the HTML code to point to my iDisk and the relavent files.
    I have changed the video dimensions to that of my newly encoded .flv video  (640 x 352 - in ffmpegx)
    When I go to my movie page in my browser, I see the still shot I took as a place marker in the right dimensions.  Yet when I play the movie, although the player is the size I requested - 640 x 352 - the actual movie plays inside it as a squashed box.  Take a look at the screenshot below to see what I mean.
    The video should fill the black areas, but whatever I do this is the result...
    Here is the info on the flash video I uploaded to my iDisk and how is should look...
    And here is the HTML code with the same dimensions input in iWeb before I published.  I have changed my username back to "username" for this screenshot FYI...
    The weird thing is - I uploaded a flash movie a couple of years ago to the same page and it plays ok - looks fine.  Shame I can't remember how the **** I did it!  I wondered if having 2 flash movies on the same page were causing the problem, so I deleted the old one.
    Same result.
    I created a new fresh movie page and tried that - same result again.
    I thought that maybe each movie needed it's own set of .swf and .js files as the 2 movies are of different dimensions, each player would need to be different dimensions also....?
    So I even added another set of .swf and .js files.  I tried copying the 2 sets of movie files to individual folders, but iWeb didn't see them at all - it only seems to see them is they are in a folder called "flash" in my "Web >Sites" folders on my iDisk.
    I was wondering even if it was down to the encoding of the video, which I did in ffmpegx.  I did have to do it in a roundabout way...
    In Final Cut Pro I exported a full quality QT movie - ProRes422 1280 x 720 that turned out at 5.32 GB and 12 mins 5 secs in duration.
    This is not recognised by ffmgegx, looks like the ProRes codec has it confused.
    So I put it into Compressor and re-encoded it as a H.264 movie 1280 x 720 that turned out at 1.72 GB.
    When I put this into ffmgegx it encoded just fine, but stopped after 7 mins and 7 secs.
    I tried a hundred different ways but it always stopped at 7m7s...
    So I eventually dropped it onto a droplet I downloaded somewhere to convert videos for Vimeo HD  - 1280 x 720.  I dropped this into ffmpegx and Hey Presto - it worked!
    So I now have my full length .flv movie at my 640 x 352 on my iDisk with iWeb pointing at it and the correct dimensions input in the HTML code, and it STILL comes out squashed....
    if anyone has a clus what is causing this or what I am doing wrong, I will be forever in your debt! 
    I know this is an epic mail, but I wanted to give all the info I can......

    If you are using a SWF or FLV you don't need to use the JW player assets. Just reference the file in an iFrame code....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flash-SWF-FLV.html
    Adjust the dimensions of the frame to fit the movie and control bar if necessary.
    This page shows the JW using the embed code and the javascript version...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
    If you want to us the JW player using the javascript shown on the iWeb unlimited site, you need to adjust the player frame dimensions to suit the control bar position that you specified. I notice that this website doesn't mention the fact that the control bar position can be changed - normally "bottom" or "over". If you set the control bar to "bottom", the frame height needs to be increased. Also the javascript shown is not the latest one where you can specify all the custom options.
    If you use the javascript that I employed for the second example on the iWeb for Musicians site, you can do a lot of customizing and specify flash with fallback to HTML5 or vice versa.

  • Flash Video Player Need Help

    Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me.  I am going to school and I have an action scripting class.  For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.   
      We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works.  Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this  as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck. 
    Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    import fl.controls.List;
    var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();

    I don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name.  Like this:
    package {
         import flash.display.Sprite;
         import flash.events.Event;
         import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
         import fl.controls.List;
         public class Main extends Sprite {
              public function Main() {
                   var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
                   vid.source= "fashion.flv";
                   addChild(vid);
                   vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
                   vid.x=100;
                   vid.y=300;
                   vid.skinAutoHide="true";
                   vid.width=500;
                   vid.height=280;
                   var vidList:List = new List();
                   vidList.x= vid.x+10;
                   vidList.y= 200;
                   vidList.width=200;
                   vidList.height=100;
                   vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
                   vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
                   vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
                   addChild(vidList);
                   vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
              function playVid(e:Event):void{     
                   vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
    Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with:   Main
    Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv.

  • Multiple Flash Videos on 1 Page

    Hi All
    If i were to put 4 flash videos into a page, by using the
    'import flash video' function in DW CS3 - will they all load at the
    same time, or only load when the user clicks play?
    Many Thanks
    JP

    Im not sure I understand, however I have a page up with 2
    flash movies, but
    I timed them by extending the first frame on the one to not
    start any motion
    until the first one is coming to an end.
    So they both in essence start at once, but the one on top
    plays out, as it
    is coming to an end, the one in the body begins to move...

  • Flash Video in template child pages

    I have created templates with editable regions for my
    websites. When I try to insert a Flash video file (.flv) it wants
    to put code in the header region and body region. I have tried
    erasing the editable areas, making the entire header an editable
    area, making the entire site an editable area. I've tried looking
    on Google and the Dreamweaver Developers section (there is a link
    to an answer but the link is broken). I unfortunately only have
    Dreamweaver 8. If this problem is fixed in CS3 I'd be happy to go
    to Kinkos and rent a machine. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Here's how you will have to manage this.
    When you insert a Flash video on the page, several things
    happen -
    1. DW inserts a link to a javascript file in the head of the
    page.
    2. If you elect to check for Flash versions, DW inserts a
    call to that
    javascript in the <body> tag of the page.
    3. DW then inserts a javascript call to the file (in #1) on
    the page at the
    location where the Flash is to appear.
    In a Template child page -
    1. The head region must have an editable region in it, so
    that the link can
    be inserted.
    2. The Flash check call will fail to be written to the body
    tag, since that
    is LOCKED by the template.
    3. The javascript will be written to the body of the page
    where you
    inserted the Flash.
    Thus, 2 of the 3 elements should work fine.
    My suggestion? Do it again, and do not select the check for
    Flash version -
    that should work for you.

  • Flash video screenshot before play

    I have some flash videos (.flv) that just display a black
    screen until the person presses play, how can I have it show a
    still image of the actual video or define an image to be displayed
    before the person presses play?
    Thanks in advance.

    Or to put it another way:
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    It is suggested that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)

  • Attaching a link to a Flash video

    I made a flash video and I would like it to be a link to
    another site. Is this possible if so how would l go about doing
    this? I search these forums all morning and found nothing related
    to the topic. I tried the following and had no success:
    1. Right click on image Edit tag, events, then OnbllClick
    insert web address.
    2. Under insert tab I tried HTML, head tag, , link.
    3. Under modify make link.
    All 3 of those had no luck I also tried a few other things.
    Got know where
    I am wondering if I was suppose to add then link maybe in
    Flash or After Effects?
    Does anyone happen to know how to go about attaching a link
    to a flash video?
    All of a sudden I also been having trouble with opening up
    the page in Explorer and its asking me to save the file as
    dwt.template which its already save as. When I open it does the
    same thing again. I didn't have this problem until today. Other
    then this it was able to preview it in explorer. Firefox works fine
    Thanks for you replys,
    Robert

    Yes, and you would lose. First of all, you didn't read my
    post because I
    did not say you couldn't put a link IN Flash. I said that you
    cannot use
    HTML to put a link on a Flash object. And secondly you are
    missing the crux
    of the help files, as explained by Alan.
