SWF and FLV - help needed

Hi,
I'm finding flash very difficult, i've read tutorials and i still find it confussing. What i'm trying to do is embed my FLV video into my website that keeps my XHTML 1.0 Transitional page vaild.
I download swfobject 2.2 and i have a FLV file that i exported from premiere pro CS3, from what i understand i need SWF file to go with the FLV.
When i import my FLV into Flash CS3, choose the skin i want then export everything. I then have three files; FLV, skin and the player. What i don't understand is, i've seen certain skins that are two in one, both the skin and the player.
Could someone please tell me what are the main files that i require in order to get my flash on my html page.
I've spent hours trying different embed codes and nothing seems to work.
I've created a lot of websites, but when it comes to flash i'm puzzled.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

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.

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...

Uploaded swf and flv files - right ?

Hi all -
Just getting to grips with flash movies, however not 100%
i've got it right as yet ! Could someone with experience in flash
movies confirm the files to upload are the swf and flv files to our
server ? Everything appears OK when viewing the movies - take a
quick look here www.sofabedgallery.co.uk/cosmosofa.php however I'm
just a little concerned of the size of the flv file at a couple of
mb. Is this the correct file to upload or should I try to upload
the fla smaller file?
Many thanks,
Chris.

Hi ,
You can publish your project as MP4 with Cp6. For that --
Do -- File-- Publish-- Media--- (Choose Dropdown) MP4 and (adjust settings, if you like) Hit publish.
You can use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert the Video into FLV format.
Also, you can use the SWF option on Publish Screen to publish the project as a Flash File.
Thanks!

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.

Controller for .swf and .flv files is disappearing

When I place an .swf or .flv file in Dreamweaver, the controller, which I created in Flash, disappears when previewed in Safari. Do I forget about creating a controller in Flash before exporting to the site directory in Dreamweaver and create it in Dreamweaver instead? Can someone either tell me in simple terms how to do this, or direct me to a tutorial? Many thanks.

If you put the page, the .flv file, the .swf files, and the Scripts folder online, we should be able to help. Otherwise, all we can do is make wild guesses as to what you've done.
BTW, the most common mistake is forgetting to upload the Scripts folder if this is what I think it is.

[Mostly Sorted] Extracting tags - regexp_substr and count help needed!

My original query got sorted, but additional regexp_substr and count help is required further on down!
Hi,
I have a table on a 10.2.0.3 database which contains a clob field (sql_stmt), with contents that look something like:
SELECT <COB_DATE>, col2, .... coln
FROM   tab1, tab2, ...., tabn
WHERE tab1.run_id = <RUNID>
AND    tab2.other_col = '<OTHER TAG>'(That's a highly simplified sql_stmt example, of course - if they were all that small we'd not be needing a clob field!).
I wanted to extract all the tags from the sql_stmt field for a given row, so I can get my (well not "mine" - I'd never have designed something like this, but hey, it works, sorta, and I'm improving it as and where I can!) pl/sql to replace the tags with the correct values. A tag is anything that's in triangular brackets (eg. <RUNID> from the above example)
So, I did this:
SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                   INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                   INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                   ) tag
FROM       export_jobs
WHERE      exp_id = p_exp_id
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))Which I thought would be fine (having tested it on a text column). However, it runs very poorly against a clob column, for some reason (probably doesn't like the substr, instr, etc on the clob, at a guess) - the waits show "direct path read".
When I cast the sql_stmt as a varchar2 like so:
with my_tab as (select cast(substr(sql_stmt, instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1), instr(sql_stmt, '>', -1) - instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1) + 1) as varchar2(4000)) sql_stmt
                from export_jobs
                WHERE      exp_id = p_exp_id)
SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                   INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                   INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                   ) tag
FROM       my_tab
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))it runs blisteringly fast in comparison, except when the substr'd sql_stmt is over 4000 chars, of course! Using dbms_lob instr and substr etc doesn't help either.
So, I thought maybe I could find an xml related method, and from this link:get xml node name in loop , I tried:
select t.column_value.getrootelement() node
from (select sql_stmt xml from export_jobs where exp_id = 28) xml,
table (xmlsequence(xml.xml.extract('//*'))) tBut I get this error: ORA-22806: not an object or REF. (It might not be the way to go after all, as it's not proper xml, being as there are no corresponding close tags, but I was trying to think outside the box. I've not needed to use xml stuff before, so I'm a bit clueless about it, really!)
I tried casting sql_stmt into an xmltype, but I got: ORA-22907: invalid CAST to a type that is not a nested table or VARRAY
Is anyone able to suggest a better method of trying to extract my tags from the clob column, please?

I don't know if it may work for you, but I had a similar activity where I defined sql statements with bind variables (:var_name) and then I simply looked for witch variables to bind in that statement through this query.

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 FLV file sizes

Hello,
I have an flv file and the same flv file in an swf file. Both
files are the same size. So, it seems that it doesn't matter,
whether you import an flv file or an swf file, to keep your file
size small. Is this correct ?
Thanks,
Paul

> I have an flv file and the same flv file in an swf file.
Both files are
> the
> same size.
That's just a coincidence.
There is different baggage / overheads with FLV vs SWF. So
you will usually
get some differences .. sometimes SWF smaller, other times
FLV. However,
the actual video payload is the same in both, and the audio
is similar too,
and they are the bulk of the file size. So there shouldn't be
a huge
difference in file size between SWF an FLV.

Various Direct Debit and Billing Help Needed

FAILURE TO DELIVER BILL IN PAPER FORMAT: Firstly when I discovered that my account number was encrypted in the email and that I could not pay the bill online, without having the whole account number in full - I contacted BT who told me that they would post my bill and it would arrive in paper form. A week later, no sign of it so phoned again and again I was told that another paper copy would be sent out - waited another week - still no sign! Got a reminder email that my bill had not been paid - doh! I knew that but I was trying to get that sorted out! So phoned again today and the guy in India or wherever the heck he is, told me that he would setup a profile on BT.com for me and this would allow me to pay online.
TEMPORARY ACCESS TO BT.COM?: The email address which this member of staff had set up on BT.com for me was identical to my old btinternet.com account minus a number! The new email address with this new account is somewhat different and when I try to edit simple information on the profile page, it does not allow me to do so. Can anyone explain why?
UNABLE TO SET UP DIRECT DEBIT: I log-in to My BT (whether it's temp. access or not) and then click on Bills and Payments but instead of more options I get a graphic which has got "Ugrade to an online account" on one side and "Help with Billing and Payments" on the other side. When I click on "see all billing and payments help" nothing happens and in fact NONE of the links work.
Would it be the better idea to re-register with BT.com and this time put the correct BT email address in, the one that i was given with this account - see if it works that way?
PLEASE HELP!!!

This is essentially a customer to customer help forum; I could make one or two suggestions which might explain things but would be equally likely to complicate the matter. It all looks a bit messy and you need to get BT's help in sorting it out. The moderators who oversee this forum are jolly good at that and you can contact them here: Contact BT Care Team.
They are busy and may take a few days to respond but will contact you by email or phone, and will have access to your account in order to put things straight.

Website calling *.swf and *flv files from C:\

I am after information from someone who has achieved this. I
have a website that has a swf embedded in it that is calling a
swf/flv on my hardrive. Firstly is this possible or am I waisting
my time even trying this. I do realise the security issues involved
and I have read posts and tutorials about achieving this but I
still have had no luck. CAN ANYONE HELP ME BEFORE I START PULLING
MY HAIR OUT!!

The reason why I want to access information from the hardrive
is because the information is about 600mb in all but cut up into
60mb parts or chapters. It is for an online learning system but
Australian BroadBand speeds are still way to slow for this sort of
system. I've tried to give these files permissions but I still get
issues. I am considering using Adobe AIR Technology and making a
desktop application that accesses small amounts of informaion from
the server, so basically turning this project on it's head.
If you do have some more information for me that would be
great but I think I'll go the AIR track.

Cross platform apps that support .swf and .flv

I want to build (HTML5, Javascript, CSS) apps that run on Win, iOS, iphone and Android phones that also include (.swf, .flv) content. Which Adobe tool(s) should I use? It would be nice to have a WYSIWYG UI design front end like Maqetta in building these apps. Does DreamWeaver in combination with Air have all this functionality?

You can't run Flash in a browser in iOS, not even a browser inside an app (it's still Safari).
If you want Flash content inside your app, you need Adobe AIR. Then use StageWebView (plus StageWebViewBridge) to show the parts in HTML.
You can use Adobe Flash Builder or FDT to code in AS3.

Flash fading movies and sound-HELP NEEDED

hey guys i need some help
firstly if u want to help me could u please visit this site
http://www.thetimemovie.com/
this site is what i want to do
notice the fading pictures that can be controlled and the
sound bar at the bottom on the left
Any help would b aprreciated GREATLY
thanks in advance
BUTCH101
PS: email [email protected] if u have any info
thanks

What I see in the sample site is that the "sound bars" aren't
sync'd at all. They are just a looping clip that stops in diagonal
shape when clicked. And, the sound is not actually being stopped
when you click the bars. Rather, the actionscript is actually
turning the volume down, gradually. The sound is still continually
playing, you just can't hear it. This is evident in the fact that
when you restart the sound, it picks up not where you left off, but
at the point where it would have been anyway, had you not clicked
the button.
I believe that the sound is set to streaming and as such can
be dealt with frame by frame. So, your real quest is to have
someone (more knowledgable than me) provide sample code that would
begin reducing the volume of the sound object in increments as the
movie moves through frames. Something like:
onFrame (95){
mySound.setVolume(80);
onFrame (110){
mySound.setVolume(60);
onFrame (120){
mySound.setVolume(40);
onFrame (130){
mySound.setVolume(20);
onFrame (140){
mySound.setVolume(10);
onFrame (150){
mySound.setVolume(0);
Obviously, you wouldn't use frame numbers, but a variable
representing the current frame relative to the frame the movie was
in when you clicked the button.

OS X Yosemite and CS6 help needed.

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro (2013) which I want to update to OS X Yosemite but I have one question about CS6.
When I update my Mac system to OS X Yosemite do I have to remove and reinstall CS6? Or can I leave the program on my Mac and update it when OS X Yosemite is ready?
I'm quite worried about this because I'm a student who needs CS6 every day to make my homework. Any help would really be appricated!

@runtimer
@JasonBrimer
Thank you for your reply both. I will wait for a weeks before I update to Yosemite.
This has helped me a lot and ease my worries.
@runtimer

I would appicate if you guys would take the other question to another discussion, because I keep getting alerts on my phone which is really annoying. My answer got answered so there is no reason to keep continue this,
