Using FLV files in iWeb

Looking for help!
I'm creating sites and using iWeb enhancer to embed swf. files into my site. I've had no trouble getting basic animations and a xml based player working. Check swampfoot.co.uk then go to media to see.
What I'm struggling with is to get a flah video player to play a flv. file from a ulr. I can get the player to embed but it won't play the movie. Has anyone got any code I could adapt to get this to work?
Any help would be greatly recieved.

My solution may not be the most technical but it works. We use a combination of iWeb, dreamweaver and straight code on our site. We lay a graphic in where the flash is going to go then we replace the code with the flash player. You have to make sure the flash is in a div and is identified as a object.

Using FLV files with media playback components

I can import an mpeg video to flash and export the movie as a
.swf for use on the web. However, I'd like to learn how to use the
components, and I must say the documentation is extremely
confusing. Anyway, it appears I need a .flv file to use them. I
have the flash video exporter, but I don't know how to use it. I
tried opening the mpeg in quicktime, but it won't play (I don't
have quicktime pro, if that's the problem). Can I use the flash
video exporter in Windows Media Player? Why is this so difficult?
Is there an easy way for me to put a nice little movie controller
on my .swf movie? That's all I really want.
thanks!

How can I mask on flv file in flash cs4?

Hi,
I am new to Flash CS4. I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.
Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline
It seems the mask is not working with this option.
How to solve this problem? Please help.
Actually it should be like the above.
But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.

How do i get flv files in premiere elements

how can i get the premiere elements to use flv. files?

verdanexi
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running?
In the absence of that information, the following is a generalized no can do answer.
Although files with flv file extensions can be exported from Premiere Elements, you cannot import flv files into Premiere Elements.
There used to be a time when earlier versions could use a Moyea plug-in to force Premiere Elements to accept flv files.
how to edit .flv files
Your flv are going to have to be converted into another format before import into Premiere Elements if you want to use Premiere Elements as your video editor.

Premiere Pro CC wont open or import .flv files

I just upgraded from windows 7 to 8.1. Clean install. Downloaded Premiere Pro CC, AE CC and a few others. I cannot import or use .flv files in premiere pro. It says file type is not supported. Even if I export from AE as a flv premiere pro wont open it. All my past projects with flv files show that media as off line. Please help. FLV always worked before.

Support for importing Flash content was removed in the latest patch. Please see this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/premiere-pro-cannot-import-flv.html
If you search for "FLV 7.1," you'll find several threads on this topic. For example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5818286#5818286

Most likely you need to set up MIME type for the FLV file.

How to publish to an FTB server in iWeb 2 using the File ➙ Publish to Folder option??

I was just given the following advice regarding publishing to an FTP other than MobileMe.
Web 08 does not have that feature (drop down menu to publish from "site" icon). You will need to upgrade to iWeb 3 in iLife 11 in order to get that feature. You can get iLife 11 at the online Apple Store while supplies last since iWeb (and iDVD) have been discontinued by Apple
To pubish to an FTB server in iWeb 2 use the File ➙ Publish to Folder menu option and then use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck to upload the site files.
Follon-on question, can anyone provide more details on how to do exactly what was suggested? I toyed with it and can only get it to publish to a folder on my desktop, but not to an external FTP. (I have already purchased a web-host package, just need to publish to it!)

Okay. When you publish your site from iWeb to a local folder what you will get is one site folder - this site folder will have the same name as you gave your site in iWeb and one separate index.html file.
Your site folder contains an index.html file as well as the separate index.html file. You NEED both.
What you need to do is firstly using Cyberduck or whatever, upload your site folder to your host into whatever folder you need to upload to on the server - could be 'public_html', 'htdocs' or whatever - this is your root folder.
You then need to upload your separate index.html file to your server too, but this index file needs to sit outside your site folder because it needs to point in towards the index.html file that is in your site folder - this is the first page of your site.
You don't delete or duplicate any index files - iWeb produces the two index files that you need when you publish to a local folder - one index file in the site folder itself and one separate index file that sits outside the site folder and points into the first page of your site.
Also, remember to call the first page of your site something like Home or Welcome, but DO NOT name it index.
By the looks of things here you have not uploaded your index files correctly.
What I would suggest that you do is start over - so open Cyberduck and connect to your server and go and delete your site folder and your other index file if it is still there.
Go back to iWeb and publish to a local folder again and notice that you have both your site folder and separate index.html file.
Now go and open Cyberduck again and connect to your server and note where you need to upload your files to.
Now go and upload your Site Folder to your server and once this has finished go back and upload your separate index.html file, but this needs to sit outside your site folder. If you do this, then your site should display okay - as long as your other index file is pointing into to the first page of your site it should display correctly.

Using a FLV file in Flash for Web Graphic

Hello thank you for looking in.
I made a FLV file in After effects. 5 seconds long. I would like to convert it (So I think) in Flash so I can park it on my website for some 'eye candy' I was able to import the FLV an After Effects creation exported as an Alpha FLV.
I import it to the stage, have a few options about players when doing so. I used the stand alone Player option when opening my sequence. I prewview it and it works fine using both Browser and Player mode when previewing movie. However, I am unsure how to make that file play or loop forever? I am unsure of exporting it so I can just upload it to my Wordpress site and stuff it in my header so it plays when a browser opens that page. I know that is a tall order to ask. If you could either direct me to a link to the proper steps I would need to learn I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any direction on this one. I have created a flash poject or two and exported them as swf and have had them work, but I have never used an imported FLV is there any diff? And how come it does not automatically loop without the ACTION ()Stop ?

I was able to get my FLV FLASH to Loop, must have been a glich on my end. Closed it and reopened it and it reverted back to a loop. I am still wondering, or I forgot the steps to exporting my work with JS ? I cannot remember where I found that info, nor how I did it. As of now I turn on JS toolbox and my Html export is a white box....I would love to export as no background, or Alpha and have the JScode export so all I need to do is cut and paste into my HTML page and change the upload address or A href " " Steps...Anyone? Thanks
BTW I was able to export my AE file as a SWF however all the cool stuff that made the eye candy was not supported like fill over stroke or 3d when exporting out of AE direct as a SWF with LOOP. FWIW

Create navigation cue points in a FLV file using Media Encoder CC

When I export a FLV file with Navigation cue points created in Media Encoder CC (by loading a cue points XML file), upon examining the file I see that the cue points are recorded as Event type cue points in the metadata at the top of the file.
When I load the FLV file in Flash, I can receive cue point notifications using action script while the video is played, but cannot use seekToNavCuePoint to move the play head to one of the cue points, which accords them being Events rather than Navigation points.
I am wondering if there are any other export settings which need to be particular values in order for navigation cue points to be created properly in the exported file?

Lestyn, thanks for the verification. Took me a frantic 4 hours to arrive at the same conclusion. Do these people test their software???
Maddening.

Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

Hi
Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
That's correct.
Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
You can create folders as you like.
Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.

Use space bar to play an FLV file

I have an external FLV file on frame 25 of my flash movie. I
would like to make it so the user has to press the space bar for
that FLV to play. Right now it plays automatically when we get to
frame 25. How can I do this?
Thanks,

Difficulty using hardcoded swf file to display flv files

Hi,
I have created a swf player using the flvplayback component to display flv files. The document in flash is 275 pixels wide by 130px pixels long. I also have my video component (flyPlayBack) set at 275px by 100px to display the playback controls. My flash code is my simple like the following
import fl.video.*;
var myflashvars:Object = new Object();
myflashvars = this.loaderInfo.parameters;
var fullVideoPath:String = "";
for (var item:String in myflashvars)
if(item == "filename")
fullVideoPath = myflashvars[item];
videoPlayer.source = fullVideoPath;
So using the above it should play the video and does.
(1) First question is I tried playing 2 different videos in my html code.
<object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0' width='275' height='130'>
<param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' />
<param name='movie' value='moviePlayer.swf' />
<param name='wmode' value='window' />
<param name='scale' value='showall' />
<param name='flashvars' value='filename=sample_sorenson2.flv' />
<embed width='275' height='130' allowFullScreen='true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='moviePlayer.swf' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' wmode='window' scale='showall' flashvars='filename=sample_sorenson2.flv' />
</object>
Just like above works fine. But I tried playing 2 different videos, the first video image is below
The second video image is below
I notice the video sizes are different but not the video player size, is this to do a thing called aspect ratio? Is it possible to change this using my simple actionscript code above?
(2) I also tried the full screen button but the video only takes up part of the screen, as shown below. sorry about image size.
Is this a common occurance, is there a way to access the buttons on the flyplayback instance using actionscript and overridding the behaviour? Any advice upon my current situation would be much appreciated. Thanks.

To me the first two screen shots look like you set the wrong aspect ratio/screen size. I don't see any scaling of the player at all... only black bars on sides because the video didn't fill the entire video player display.
And yes, there is a much more powerful and versatile means of displaying Flash video, called NetStream. You can design your own player and have better control over the display. I always use NetStream rather than the FLVPlayback.
But if you are having sizing issues introduced during the creation of the video... then the player itself is not necessarily going to fix that. You need to know the correct display size and aspect ratio for each video you plan to display.
However, you can somewhat adjust the display size for each video using some actionscript... as you see here:
http://www.cataractvideo.com/cv/physicians/cataract_surgery.html
an example of a larger (high brandwidth) version and a smaller (lower bandwidth) version... depending on which button you click.
More on NetStream:

Here is a great tutorial on building your own NetStream video player:

How do I protect my FLV files? or How to encrypt and decrypt FLV files using AIR?

Hi,
I am working on an AIR application, which is developed on eLearning concept. The application mainly deals with flv files. The application contains a video player component, which will stream flv files from an Apache Server and played in my application. Here my concern is I would like to protect my flv files some how against users who may stream them from Apache Server and use them without my application.
I thought of with an idea to do it. But I don't know whether it will work or not. So I am requesting for your suggestions and better ways to do this with a sample.
Here is my thought:
I would like to place the encrypted FLV files at Apache Server side [ Need to know how to encrpt the FLV files using Flex]
As my AIR application send a request for a FLV file, the Apache server should send the decryption key and a stream of FLV file.
AIR application should take the decryption key, stream of flv file and it should capable enough to decrypt the FLV file and play it in my application. [ But I don't know how to encrypt/decrypt FLV files through flex]
I can do encryption of FLV files using Mac Address of Apache Server system and using Java. But I don't know how can I decrypt the same FLV file ( Encrypted using Mac Address and java ) at AIR application side.
So I would be greatfull If any body help me in encrypting and decrypting of FLV file with a sample using Flex 3.0.
Thanks

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32.
