Putting player controls on a swf (not flv)

I've created a .swf "movie" in flash - you hit enter, an mp3
lecture starts playing, and slides of text appear at the
appropriate times.
Now I want to put it on the web, but I'd like to be able to
skip through the presentation/lecture with a seek bar, and
pause/rewird/fast forward with buttons. I'm creating a lot of these
.swf movies/presentations, and I don't know much about flash or
action script, so I'd like to keep it simple. Is there an
embeddable player or something that can load my .swf movie and play
it and seek through it, or can I drop some player controls right
into the movie itself?
I've seen a few players that can show these kinds of controls
for flv movies, but none for .swf movies. Is there an easy solution
built into flash that I'm missing?
Thanks

This is also the problem I want to solve. I generated a Flash
movie with frame by frame animation. Each frame is interactive with
many dynamic movie clips, and some actions are defined on them. I
want to use FLVplayback component to control the play of the Flash
movie.
After I output the Flash movie to avi format, I found all the
dymanic movie clips disappear (only a few static texts exist).
After the conversion from avi to flv format, I got the same thing:
all the dymanic stuff is gone.
How can I keep the interactive dymanic movie clips, and use
FLVPlayback to play the Flash movie? Any good suggestions to
achieve this?
Thanks,

  • How to put play controls on a swf

    Hi,
      I want to put some SWF files on a web page.  I don't want them to autoplay, I want them to have controls, or at least click the image to play.
    I read something about "skins" in some posts about CS3.  It seems like CS5 doesn't insert a skin when you are adding SWF?  How can I easily do this?
    Thanks very much
    Bob

    Hi,
    I always prefer the specialists for each task. I use to convert from an mp3 file, for example (more see Google), this here:
    http://www.hootech.com/mp3_to_swf_converter/
    especially as it is in my opinion not too expensive. Here an only player example, so as the program generates the selectable skins.

    And as you said righly, the visitor should be able to turn the player on or off.

  • Controlling separate, freestanding swfs (not loaded parent/child swfs)

    I have a flash file with buttons and actions and 2 flash files with animations. I want to control both animation files with the one 'controler' file, at the same time. 
    Note: these are separate swf/exe/app files and will run individually from the desktop, not be loaded into an swf and run online. 
    How can I access the timeline of these separate files to control them?
    Thanks

  • 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...

  • Captivate 2 - Embedding Player Controls

    Hi Everyone,
    In Captivate 1 I could embed the player controls into the SWF
    file. Now it appears that the controls are output to a seperate
    skins.swf file. I need my video and controls embedded into a single
    SWF file because my LMS system can only accept a single file. Can
    anyone tell me how to embed the player controls in Captivate 2?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    I believe you would do this as follows.
    1. Click Project > Skin...
    2. In the Skin: drop down, scroll to the bottom of the list
    and choose "BMP Playbars".
    This should result in a single file that contains the former
    version of controls. However, you will also find that Captivate 2
    will still output two .SWF files along with the HTML file. If you
    upload both the HTML file and the .SWF file to your LMS, you will
    need to amend the HTML file so it correctly references only the
    base .SWF file. It seems that Captivate 2 will seemingly always
    point at the playback control file in the HTML file. The playback
    control file then loads up the main .SWF file. Also note that the
    HTML file will also contain a differing height statement for the
    movie. Presumably this is to account for the added playback
    control.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Imbedded SWF does not have Player Controls?

    Hello,
    I am using Go Live CS2 and have a Flash video to put on a page.
    I have Flash CS4 so I made an SWF and put on the Go Live page.
    When I preview in a browser, the video plays but the player controls are not there.
    When I preview in Flash (html preview) the controls are there.
    Also, the video is auto-playing even after I unchecked auto play in Go Live.
    Do I need to install some sort of Flash player code for Go Live?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Problem seeing the flv player control

    Hope someone can help me on this.
    1. encoded a video with Flash 8
    2. selected SteelExternalPlaySeekMute as skin for player
    3. resized the canvas to be about 10% larger than the actual
    video+player
    4. centered the video+player
    5. generated the swf, plays fine in Flash 9 Player standalone
    6. embeded into a webpage, but neither swfobject.js nor
    <object> nor <embed> displays the flv controler. the
    video plays, just no controller.
    I've make sure that the skin file is in the directory as the
    flv, so now I'm baffled as to why the controller is not showing at
    all. so if any one can help me on this, please.

    I had some minor success by adding this into frame 1 of the
    .fla containing the FLVPlayback control (with id set to
    FLVPlayback):
    if(_root.flvSkin != null) {
    this.FLVPlayback.skin = _root.flvSkin;
    Then for SWFObject I added (using a relative path to our skin
    asset):
    so.addVariable("flvSkin",
    "/assets/flash/SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf");
    This seemed to help for most browsers. Opera didn't seem to
    cooperate with this solution, but putting
    SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf also at the very root of our site
    seemed to fix it for now. In a bit of a rush to deploy, so we
    haven't been able to investigate further.
    The site this is embedded in does make use of the <base
    href="
    http://www.oursite.com"> html
    tag in the header section, which has given us a bit of grief
    elsewhere but is necessary for some other add ins... haven't tried
    removing it yet, but it may be possible this is contributing to the
    issue?

  • ChromeApplication player controls not displaying.

    Okay – I think I'm making progress :-)
    In my FLA file, I have a FLVPlayback component in my library.
    When I export the video to an SWF it provides me with 2 SWF files:
    the flash movie and the skin. With those 2 files, I also upload my
    FLV file to my server.
    On my media server, the video displays correctly (here's the
    link to it:
    http://jonah.eastern.edu/ben/ben_jump.html)
    However, when I try embedding the video onto a different
    sight and server, just the video displays. I completely understand
    that there's 2 different SWF's, but how do I import the video
    correctly, so the video playback is displaying correctly when
    embedded on other/external sites.
    Is there a way to attach/import the SWF for the skin? I'm
    just trying to embed video's like YouTube and I'm failing horribly!
    Thank you so much!

  • Can you put Video Controls on an .flv video?

    I have an .flv file in my .fla file.  However, when I play the movie, it simply plays the movie along the timeline.  Is there a way to put video controls on this file?  Or do I need to use the videoPlayback option?
    If I do need to use the videoPlayback option, how do I make sure that the video always work, even if I move it to a different computer (because the references to the movie will change)?
    Thank you very much in advanced.
    -TitanVex

    Hi Ned,
    Thank you for your reply!
    I guess I mean that when I specify the path to my flv file and I export the swf file, the swf won't play the flv video if I move the swf file to another computer.  Does that make sense?
    Thank you for the answer though, I will use FLVPlayback!

  • Player control for flash animation containing streamed FLVs

    I need to learn how to build a player that will control my animation when it contains 3 or more streamed FLVs. I also need it to be functional during development of the animation so that I can provide partial animations to my sound guy to sync voices, music, and sfx. Are there any good tutorials out there? I can find FLV player controls, but I need to control a Flash movie that contains FLVs.
    Thanks!

    Hi Charlotte,
    You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
    Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
    HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
    IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
    To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
    The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

  • Clip notes - no player controls

    I am trying to use clip notes - only problem is that everything is fine except the player controls don't show up below the clip. The controls are there if you click on the area, but you just can't see them (Just a black bar)
    I'm using Reader 9

    Let me guess:
    You chose Quicktime for the video format, and you are using Vista 64. 
    Correct?
    If so, then you are probably still OK.  Apple doesn't support Quicktime
    player on 64-bit Windows, and a symptom is the lack of visible
    controls.  But the file will play back just fine on 32-bit Windows, and,
    I assume, on a Mac.

    Use the iSwifter browser from the app store. Works for most flash content.

  • Inserting flv or swf not html5 complient

    Something I just noticed. When placing a SWF or FLV in a html5 document DW adds code that will not validate as html5. It will give you 3 errors. Two of them can be fixed easy enough but fixing the second error you lose the Flash F and it turns into an AX. I can live with this.
    The third error is the div as a child element, this is the warning you need the latest flash and a link to download it. This one I can't fix. If I remove the div as a child then the text shows all the time instead of just when its needed.
    any engineers that can shine some light on this?

    Hi Buko,
    I have forwarded your query to the concerned engineers.
    Thanks,

    Hi, Sometimes users with understanding of what Adobe programs you are using will post. It doesn't happen very often.
    If you had a personal computer and had problems with Flash Player then of course this Forum would be where it would be addressed.
    Flash Player is used with all of the Adobe programs and when those programs are involved, then those Forums relate to Flash Player from those perspectives. Flash Player is not a standalone, that would be the Projector. Neither is Flash Player unrelated to the Adobe programs you use.
    These terms: fast switching the slides, the player crashes in cases, when a progressive videostream is canceled, Tweener, the gui for the volume control before the gui is initialized, so the player try to access a null reference. It is for me impossible to develope content
    told me clearly that your issue involves much more than Flash Player, debug or not.
    If you can see the animation at this site and the correct version of Flash Player is displayed, then Flash Player is Installed correctly and should be working. If not, then since I'm not versed in the programs you are using and possible conflicts, I would not be the one to assist you. So your choice is to wait here on this Forum for someone that can, or take my advice and start a thread on one of the other applicable Forums.
    Also you have a Mac. We have more threads that the Mac users put up than Mac helpers:-)
