QT movie or flash publishing frustration

Boy this is making me rage.
I was trying to export a simple one slide keynote into my iweb page.
So first I try send to iweb it gives me a posdcast and it does not work; then I see this site a previous poster did (really cool and supposed to be with flash export) I try that and I get a white square nothing works; then I try export to QT it works great but I need two same short 10 seconds films with a few scrolling lines.
one works the other does not. both movies work well out of iweb both are the same size. I am not getting it.
Please someone help if you can or I might murder some pixels tonight.
Thanks,
I feel better anyway

After reading your post I decided to try exporting a Keynote file as flash and drop it into iWeb as I hadn't used this feature before.
The only problem I had the first time out was that I couldn't get it to play in the browser without clicking it but that was because I didn't set it to autoplay in Keynote.
When you exported the file did you try playing it by double clicking the HTML or the SWF file?
How did you load it into iWeb?
I did learn to add the page content before loading the flash file. Once you drop it in everything takes forever to do and this file is only 2.5 Mb!
Like the person who built the website you are referring to, the file comes up as a blank for me in Firefox. I have tried following their troubleshooting steps to no avail. I'm getting a bit fed up with the latest version of Firefox but I only use it as a second browser anyway.
If you are interested, I put the file on .Mac and will leave it there for a day or two. Now that she can walk, I am teaching my grand daughter to fly....

It does take a few seconds to load.

Actionscript 2 and Flash Publish Settings

Hi Everyone,
I have posted a couple questions as of late and received fantastic support from other members (Thanks K-Glad).
I do have what I'm assuming to be a basic question however I cannot find an answer for it.
I added some login script to a page as listed below.
stop();
eval("$version");
appname="mikesapp"
loadVariablesNum("http://bars.bevinco.com/mike/newlogin.php", 0, "POST");
//This verifys the users status and forwards them to the portion of the website they are authorized to access. Frame 100 = Regional Access, Frame 200 = Franchise Access, Frame 300 = Employee Access and Frame 400 = Denied Access and Back Button
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
    if(_root.checklog == 100){
        _root.gotoAndStop(5);
    if(_root.checklog == 200){
        _root.gotoAndStop(10);
    if(_root.checklog == 300){
        _root.gotoAndStop(15);
    if(_root.checklog == 999){
        _root.gotoAndStop(20);
My Question
When testing this movie, I found that it was not moving to the section of the flash file that is relative to their "authorization level". I.E. I manually had my PHP echo back to flash, advising that REGIONAL ACCESS was used therefore it should be move this user to FRAME 5 of the file.
I found that it was staying stuck on the first frame and not moving beyond the 1st frame which I thought had something to do with the stop(); that is listed at the top of the actionscript.
However, when I changed the FLASH PUBLISH settings from Flash Player 8 to Flash Player 6, it works flawlessly.
I attempted to publish using Flash 7 however it appears FLASH 6 is as high as I can go without loosing it's functionality.
I'm curious WHY and will this limit our users from using the site if they have a lower version of Flash installed on their CPU?
I have attached the project FLA file and the PHP file, being used on the server to manually tell this file that a REGIONAL has signed in or someone with "100" level status.
As always, thanks in advance to anyone that has taken the time to read this post.
Cheers,
Mike

checklog is a string (even though it looks like a number to you). flash 6 allowed quite a bit more code sloppiness than later versions. so, it's very common for users to find publishing for fp6 works, while publishing for fp's higher breaks their code.
you should use:
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
    if(_root.checklog == "100"){
delete this.onEnterFrame
        _root.gotoAndStop(5);
    if(_root.checklog == "200"){
delete this.onEnterFrame
        _root.gotoAndStop(10);
    if(_root.checklog == "300"){
delete this.onEnterFrame
        _root.gotoAndStop(15);
    if(_root.checklog == "999"){
delete this.onEnterFrame
        _root.gotoAndStop(20);

Can we import a Director movie into Flash ?

I'm exploring a possibility of importing a Director movie into Flash or if it is possible to import a published Director movie into Flash.
Anticipating your reply....
Thanks,

As I may have mentioned in the other thread where you asked this, No. You can not. You can import a flash swf into Director but you can not import anything from Director into Flash.

Importing Director movies into Flash

My short Q, which I suspect is a FAQ though it doesn't appear
on the Director or Flash FAQs on the Macromedia (sorry, Adobe ;-))
site, is: how can you import Director movies (source .dir, or
published .dcr) into a Flash movie?
I had thought this would be simple, that Flash would have an
import filter for Shockwave movies, as after all both products come
from the same stable and you can import .swf movies into Director,
but not so, at least in my copy of Flash 8. Neither can Director
export as a .swf - the only export format that might just work is
.avi but I'm damned if I want to create a big video file just to
reuse a snippet from a Director movie. I did a quick Google search
for DCR->SWF converters but couldn't see anything obvious to
use.
The reason I'm bothered about this is that we've produced a
lot of e-learning material in Director (a good third of our
learning objects at
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/rlolist.html
use Shockwave movies) and although we've now moved on to Flash,
occasionally we want to be able to reuse snippets from Director
movies in Flash movies. It would be disappointing, to put it
mildly, were we not able to move content between software
applications produced by the same company...
TIA for any answers/suggestions.
Cheers

I feel your pain an don't know what's going to happen with
Director now that Adobe is involved.
You mentioned that you could export as avi, could you copy
the scenes in which you want to use into a new director file,
export that as an avi and conver t that to an flv?
Just a thought.

HT1498 It took 2 hours to download my rental, then when i go to play the movie it flashes loading and then authorizing. It stays stuck on authorizing. Anyone experience this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

How do I insert a movie in Flash format?

How do I import or insert a movie in Flash format to

You can't. You need to do that in Dreamweaver.

IWeb movie pages, when published -- no movies

my iWeb movie pages, when published, came up lame, no movies, only areas where the movies should have been, all with faint Q's with question marks inside them
LONG STORY SHORT, MAKE SURE YOUR MOVIES (as well as being located in your MAC HD and its proper MOVIE sidebar, that you CUT AND PASTE all your MEDIA YOU'RE USING IN YOUR iWeb SITE,
CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS, MOVIES in dupe form right into your desktop where you've published your iWEB site folder.......that way, any browser, a .mac or outside web host, can locate your media better so that you don't get GHOST MEDIA PUBLISHING LIKE I DID...hopefully this will help both of us
ALSO, in any iWeb website (named SITE in your desktop, or iDisc, or whatever or wherever you publish it, or even if you can find where on earth on your HD it is published, remember, if you have any MEDIA at all, NOTE IN MY CASE MEDIA MEANS MOVIES (not photos, so I'm not speaking to the photo blogs people, only iWeb MOVIE folks) anyway, all the compressed poetry video clips are right there, in a separate folder called MEDIA, that is every iWeb site, when published to .mac or a folder, which contains movies in .mp4 format or .mov format, all these will appear right in your site's MEDIA FOLDER....
this is important as a concept....
also, if you're using an outside web host like me (so that all my movies will LOAD QUICKLY), don't forget when FTP'ing (file transfer protocol'ing) your iWeb changes to your web host from your original MAC HD folder....remember to also send to the FTP/outside web host your MEDIA folder inside your SITE
(which i only realized a couple hours ago, and which totally was a revelation, so i'm passing it along to you guys)....
if you'd like to know exactly what i do here in nyc, i video the poetry scene, now for 20 years, and create educational poetry DVDs.... and my website is today's equivalant of operating a virtual business.....
....oh-oh, since I video poetry in NYC and go direct into a standalone DVD recorder to make single tracks of each poem...and then through Popcorn's mp4 program, I can make a movie file
then..through QuickTime Pro's streaming compression system, reduce that file size to under 5 MBs,
well, after lots of headaches, i am able to have 200 streaming video clips on an iWeb site, which apple itself said was impossible, that iWeb was only geared for less ambitious projects
okay, so that is cool..until yesterday, when i began the whole process again with completely new poetry video clips....
first, the iWeb pages were designed correctly...that took time....then i published the new pages to .mac, and only some of the movies showed up on the published pages, some had a big bright Q (which means the browser identifies the movie and will within 20 seconds load that movie), but what wracked my brain all day and night yesterday, why were there areas where the browser only showed the faint Q/Question mark inside (meaning the browser cannot find the movie)
so what the.....!
also i'm going from an iWed Folder to an FTP so I can use an outside web host and bypass THE MUCH SLOWER .mac browser (too slow when using movie clips for visitor to your site having to wait valuable seconds for **** movie to appear...with outside web host process almost immediate)
.....any similar experiences?

I am having the same problem.
Now I am using iWeb 2.03. So when I uploaded the site to my server I see the Media folder you were talking about, and the videos are there. But when I go to the website I still get the faint Q with the question mark.
Here is my site. http://mnorland.dadeschools.net
The videos are supposed to be in the Athletics page, then go to football highlights.
Any help would be appreciated.

Exporting a Captivate Movie into Flash 8

I am trying to export my Captivate movie using Flash Pro 8,
but I keep getting the "message" I can only export if I had Flash
MX 2004 installed. Is there a way around this????

Hi mindtube and welcome to our community
I am inferring from your question that you may think Adobe
employees are monitoring this forum. While we might see one or two
pop in here and there, by and large this is a total "user-to-user"
community. I'm a Captivate user same as you. So you might want to

Importing movie into Flash

Does anyone have any knowledge of importing movies into
flash?
I have a movie streaming in my flash file but when some
people open the exe they only see black when the movie should be
showing. And some others can see the movie. Any thoughts?

you can import them as an image sequence, then create a movie
clip out of it. File-->import-->import to stage.. Then select
all the images, and it something should pop up asking if you are
trying to create an image sequence, select yes.

Can't run/test movies in Flash

I'm running Flash CS5 on a Mac (yes I've got Adobe running). However, when I press Cmd and Rtn I get the followng error message: "Error opening URL 'file:////Volumes/myname/Documents/myname%27s%20docs/Adobe/Mastersuite/Dreamweaver/jbsite 005/posts/links002.swf'"
Any suggestions about how I can run movies in Flash?
Thanks

We can try deleting your user configuration folder and preferences file.
Do this:
1. Quit Flash if you have it running.
2. Browse to Volume/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ delete Flash CS5 folder.
3. Go to this link and follow instructions to delete your preferences files: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/520/cpsid_52048.html
4. Relaunch Flash.
Let me know if this resolved your issue.

Converting LiveType movie to Flash?

Is there anybody that knows of a way to convert a LiveType movie (i.e. Quicktime movie) to Flash format for webpages? I have already tried to put a web banner I created in LiveType into my company's webpage, but it loaded very slowly on a high-speed internet connection (T1, to be specific).
I was noticing that parts of the Apple website have Flash animations (ex: in the Final Cut Studio area), and was wondering if any of those animations were created with Apple's own software (like Motion) or by a third party....
If anyone can help answer this question, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Sounds like your FLV's are not being encoded with the proper bite rate. I have no quality problems with FLV's (I've been doing them for clients for a few years). As far as comparing FLV's to a swf stream, if you're talking vector animation, then you're basing the wrong comparison.
Frankly, I wouldn't rely on something like LiveType to create an animated GIF, that's what Photoshop/Imageready and Fireworks are for, and they will work very well with LiveType and are darn good at what they do.

Importing movie to Flash 8 and error message appears

I have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred". It will not pu the movie on to the stage. Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step? This is what I do:
1) open a new flash file
2) file - import video
3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".
Any ideas what I am doing wrong??
Thanks,
Rachel

Now that I have restored my pc to the time before installing Autodesk, the
import facility now works again.
If you have installed programs that you do not really need, the best thing
to do is either uninstal them, or restore your computer through the control
panel. If you do need them you could try using another flash encoding
program, encode it through that and then open the file in your flash
program.
There is also a program called "Super" that enables flash encoding. It
sounds good, and I am going to check it out as it is a freeware.
If it works well I may use it to encode the video into flash:-
If interested, here is the link
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
I too have very little knowledge in computers, but I like the creative side
of using flash.
Hope this helps a little.
Let me know how you get on.

Can I import Director movies into Flash?

Hi,
Can Flash handle Director movies? I am making a presentation
of my artworks in Flash environment; I have both Flash and Director
movies. I know that I can import all my swf movies into Director
MX2004 to create a standalone projector and play both swf an ddir
movies. Does it work for the reverse?
Thanks
Uti

No, you can't import or display Director movies in Flash in
any way. Best
you can do is launch the Director executable from the Flash
movie, though
how you do this depends on which version of Flash you are
using.

Testing Flash 6 target movie with Flash 8

I only have a Mac and am wondering if there's any reliable
way to test a movie targeted to flash 6 or 7 when I have flash 8
installed. Is "test movie" reliable? Thanks.

You can try to test the movie using flash player 8, but more
than likely code from flash 6 will not be parsed correctly using
the flash player's engine. You can always uninstall flash player 8,
install a lower flash player and then test it, but that seems like
more trouble than what it might be worth.

Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.

Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens

I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?
