Using Flash to load a .mov

I have a 126MB quicktime file for using on the web. In order for it to display correctly, it needs to be fully loaded first.
Can I use Flash to display a "Loading" message and status bar for this purpose?
Here it is:

The movie will play erratically unless it is fully loaded.
Thanks!!

If you want to keep the quicktime version, you will have to enable "Fast Start" when encoding to mov.
This will enable progressive streaming, so the user can watch it while it downloads instead of having to download the full movie first.
Flash uses progressive streaming by default.
If you want to play the video in Flash, you'll have to get rid of the multiple audio streams (there seem to be 3 audio streams now).
Encode the video with Adobe Media Encoder (comes with Flash CS4) or MediaCoder (http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/) to H264/AAC and reduce the bitrate to about 1600kbps to minimize filesize.

  • Flash 8: Change "Test Movie" Working Directory

    I just posted this with Google Groups but it doesn't appear
    to be showing up on the adobe forums, I apologize for those that
    see this twice.
    How do I change the working directory that flash uses when I
    do Test Movie (ctrl-enter)?
    Directory Layout:
    project/
    ..index.html
    ..source/
    ....some.fla
    ..images/
    ....some.png
    ..flash/
    ....some.swf
    project/index.html embeds project/flash/some.swf.
    project/flash/ some.swf loads project/images/some.png. I want to be
    able to use Flash 8's Test Movie feature but when I do it looks for
    the image at project/flash/images/some.png which doesn't exist. How
    can I tell Flash to pretend it's running in project/ instead of
    project/flash/?

    The project is too large and has too many people working on
    it to move files around between author-time and run-time. We are
    just starting the project now so there are only a few SWFs and
    images but the final project will likely have hundreds of SWF files
    and even more images. Because of this, it is unrealistic for us to
    just drop all the SWF files in the top level of the project (where
    index.html will reside) as that directory would be too disorganized
    to work with.
    Note: In this project SWFs dynamicly load other SWFs at
    runtime based on a relative path to the project root directory
    (where index.html is).

  • Problem using Flash ads

    I frequently see ads using Flash, that load and play fine but
    when i click on links like "get your free sample" my browser does
    not respond or go anywhere. I have the newest version installed and
    have checked my settings, but clearly I am missing something. ANY
    help would be appreciated beyond human conception.

    The next official release, due out in the next week or so, should address this problem.

  • Flash not loading using https

    When I try loading the application using https it loads fine
    in firefox but the .swf doesn't load up if I'm using IE.
    I've found some documentation on this

    I'm unable to change these settings so is there any other

    You need to actually specify param name="movie" follow by
    value="moviename.swf"
    Suggest you use flash PUBLISH option to generate proper html
    file with full object
    embed tag, than copy paste the complete set into you existing
    document.

  • How can Image sliding work in flash cs4 on mac using mx.controls.loader

    Hi Mate - I'm using CS4 Extended Ps v11.0.2, according to the Adobe site photoshop instals a 32 bit version only. How can I find out exactly by checking out preferences etc? I'll have to go hunt out the box.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Graphics using graphic API are drawn below the loaded content created using Flash authoring tool

    Here is my problem.
    I am developing a Analog Dial component. Here , I am
    extending UIComponent and loading a swf file generated using Flash
    CS3 authoring tool ( the swf basically has the circle and needle)
    and adding the loaded content as child of Dial class.
    Next I use Graphics API to draw the major and minor ticks on
    the dial.
    As mentioned in the curveTo method of flash.display.Graphics
    class documentation (
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/index.html),
    if you are using graphics api and also loading content created
    using the flash authoring environment the vector graphics will be
    drawn underneath the loaded content.
    Well , Is there any way to make the graphics appear on top of
    the loaded contents?

    It appears that this may be accomplished more easily if I do something similar to the StrobeMediaPlayback implementation. Looking at the StrobeMediaPlayback source code it looks like Adobe has done something a little different than their ControlBarPlugin, placing the controlbar and root media element inside separate MediaContainers and then adding those containers to the display list. Is this recommended over using the frameworks ParallelElements? If so, is communication between the control bar and root media element still a matter of just updating the target reference via metadata?

  • Loading a movie clip to Flash

    I have a huge movie clip to be imported, its pretty huge so I
    divided them to smaller pieces and tried to import, everything my
    PC gets hung and does not respond after import. What is the best
    method to import a single huge movie clip? Your help is
    appreciated.

    Problem Solved.
    To everyone that has experienced some version of this issue,
    whether it be in previewing a load progress bar, or having
    animation freeze on you while loading external movie files...
    In test mode in flash, whether you are doing a simple test
    movie or debugging, loading progress appears to not be threaded and
    will freeze you movie until the load is complete. if you preview
    this movie clip in a browser after publishing it, everything should
    look ok.
    I've read a lot of posts about this same topic. Macromedia
    (or shall i say Adobe), fix this issue in your next release. what a
    pain...seriously. debugging is useless if the movie doesn't even
    run the same.
    very much relieved,
    Al.

  • I edit movies onMac OS X using Final Cut Express and down load to desk top in .mov format. How do I load finished movie to i pad 2? i tunes will not transfer it.

    I edit movies onMac OS X using Final Cut Express and down load to desk top in .mov format. How do I load finished movie to i pad 2? i tunes will not transfer it. Thanks, stevefromnorthfreo

    Try outputting it as a MP4 or M4V
    If Final Cut won't output it, Mpegstreamclip will convert it. So will Quicktime if you have the pro version.

  • Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ?

    Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ? I tried with NewMovieFromFile() , everything went well but the movie video track somehow had been corrupted.
    The thing is I could nicely convert the original Movie data structure using an export component. But the one I recreated after saving disk did not converted well ( It produced only sound ). Plz help I seached all over the documents to unerstand 'How to use flattened files' but could not.

  • Flash Profiler Kills Flash, Always Loading After Use, Becomes Unusable

    Hello,
    I have been using the Flash Profiler to fix memory leaks. It seems every time I do two snap shots and looking for lingering objects, as soon as I go back to coding my cursor wont stop loading and Flash Builder is basicly unusable. I have to restart Flash Builder and it works fine. It's a pain because I want to use Flash Profiler to jump to spots of the code and it just will not stop loading whatever it is loading even though I am done with the memory analyis.
    Any suggestions?

    Is wolfenstein a wine game? If so There are a bunch of optional dependencies for wine. You can see them if you do "pacman -Qi wine" (same for any installed program in Arch unless installed without pacman/PKGBUILD).  Some that I have installed are:
    lib32-alsa-lib
    lib32-libpulse
    If the game is a 32 bit windows game running through wine you may need some of these. If that doesn't work you can run it through the pulseaudio wrapper like this: "padsp wine /path/to/game.exe" Where /path/to/game.exe is the path to your wolfenstein executable. You can also check your sound settings with a program called "winecfg" (the defaults work fine for me though). To verify that your game is using pulseaudio there is a program called "pavucontrol" that will tell you all of the programs currently using sound through pulseaudio. Hope that helps.

  • Flash CC: Load MovieClip using button

    Im here because im really stuck, and i need to finish my job quiclky.
    I never used FLash CC, I always used Flash 8... So much easy to load clips etc.
    Well, Here is the .FLA in Flash CC format so u guys can give me a little hand (please).http://www.sendspace.com/file/u6mh4p
    The thing that i want to do is: When i make click on button History (first button on the left side) "Not the logo" i Want to load MovieClip called History (stopped one).
    I really appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance RushWHQ

    assign your button an instance name (done same way in cc as flash 8 - eg, history_btn) and assign your library movieclip a class (right click the library symbol >click properties>tick export for actionscript>enter a class name in the class field - eg, HistoryClass).  then in the actions panel, use:
    var history_instance:HistoryClass;
    history_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
    function f(e:MouseEvent):void{
    history_instance=new HistoryClass();
    addChild(history_instance);

  • Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc

    Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc. help!

    I would like to offer you some additional hair, but I've pulled mine out as well.  I have created a slideshow of my daughter's new house (a very nice place indeed) as a house-warming gift, took all the pix myself with a throw-away camera made into CD's, imported all of the photos, cropped and enhanced with Iaza online free photo editor, re-saved the new ones to a folder, imported the selected ones into iPhoto, had the best thematic photo printed in 8x10 format, bought the black DVD's, made the MPEG-4 movie as well as the suggested exportable to iPhone, created a folder with the slides, crafted a nice playlist in iTunes, merged it all in iPhoto, but cannot successfuly export it into iDVD. The technical documentation and writing for some of this stuff is sloppy and sometimes unintelligible. The instructional videos are incomplete. The One-on-One fellow was most helpful the other day and said Apple doesn't really have or support an functional DVD creation tool and suggested I choose one or another "app" at the "app store", but the reviews for the two major ones are shallow in depth and I haven't yet sprunf for the $20-$40 download so I can re-experience the difficult learning curve. The Macintoshs I once used were incredibly intuitive; the iMac requires some study. The slideshow I have is imperfect becauae it keeps reverting to custom slide-specific choices I have decided (several times) that I do not want, but it keeps slipping back into "Ken Burns" mode and some of the photos don't work in that mode because of their format. But I will settle for less-than-perfect if I can figure out the best way to export the MPEG-4 I have created into a Maxell DVD-R some time before my daughter's toddlers aged 4 and 2 get into kindergarten.
