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!

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.

Flash Player for FLV files with alpha channel encoded

My goal is to play the the transparent background flash video on the bottom right hand corner similar to the video on this website : http://www.dropshipblueprint.com/
I already have the FLV file with alpha channel encoded. I was made to understand I will need a special flash player that can read alpha channel in the flv file to make the background transparent? Is this correct? If yes, then how to accomplish this or where do I get that player, maybe opensourece player? If the player is not a solution then how do I accomplish my end objective taking into consideration I have the FLV file with the alpha channel encoded. Thanks for your help. Sam

Sam,
Welcome to the forum.
Where do you need to play this "sprite" (the name for such a Flash video)?
If you need to add that to a Video, then there could be a few challenges in PrE.
If you need to add it to a Web site, then Flash Player (free from Adobe) should be able to display that.
Can you please give us just a bit more info, on how you wish to use the sprite?
Good luck,
Hunt

Swapping .FLV files with Spry

I'm trying to make an HTML page using Spry to play videos
with the Spry element of the page pulling in a Title, Description
and filename {clip} from an XML file. So when you click on the
Title/Description it replaces the current .flv file with the next
file {clip}.
This is all working well in any browser except IE so I
thought it must need the AC_FL_RunContent script added.
Unfortunately when I add this script the first movie in the
playlist plays but now all the other elements from the page are
lost.
It's obviously something to do with the RunContent script,
but does anyone know what exactly?
Also any other suggestions on how I could make this page (I'm
desparate to start using the new features in Dreamweaver though -
hence the XML element).
Thanks

I just found the problem. Even though my Perian SAID it was up to date, it was only at 1.1.1. My old system that worked correctly still had Perian 1.1.3. I copied that component over and it works fine with the problematic FLV files.
Find it at:
(user folder):Library:QuickTime:Perian.component

Using ditaval files with XML Author

I've been evaluating XML Author and am trying to determine how to use ditaval files with it. If I want to save a ditamap as a book for PDF creation, the Prompt for DitaVal File check box is greyed out. Does anyone know why this might be the case? Is the use of ditavals limited to a full implementation of FrameMaker?
I tried adding PromptForDitaval=1 to the [General] section of the ditafm.ini file to no avail.

Make sure you are using the latest hotfix for Director (11.5.8) - it is the first to support AS# in Flash. Your SWF members will probably need to be linked to their external files instead of fully imported.
Or perhaps you're saying that you've met both these conditions and are still seeing problems?

Using *.so files with eclipse

Hey there
I'm having a little problem compiling an application which uses *.so files with eclipse:
If I run eclipse from the directory in which the *.so files are present, the application will run.
However, if I run eclipse from any other directory , the applicationwon't run, stating that the *.so were not found.
I've placed the path to the directory on my $PATH , and tried to add the following line to the VM variables in the RUN menu:
-Djava.class.path=<directory _name>
but to no avail..
Any ideas?
Thank You!

I added it to the LD path, but nothing changed.
How can I check if eclispe picked up the change?First check that you can now run your program from any directory and then worry about Eclipse.
Where did you setup the LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Using Word files with audio on a PC

I was wondering if it were possible for one to use Word files with recorded audio from a Mac on a PC? I'm not sure if it is possible at all, but if somebody knows how to extract the audio, it would be a great help. I used Word 2008 for the Word files.
Thanks

How to use .keystore file with BEAweb 6?? Help

Hi,
Is there a way to use .keystore file with BEA Weblogic 6 or 6.1 ?
I used keytool to create private key and public key..
I do not know how to tell weblogic 6 to use it....
Can this be done through the GUI or do I have to add something to the .xml
config file for the site?
Thanks,
Rob

How to use XDCAM files with Premier 4 Trial

According to everything I have read, using XDCAM files with Premier 4 is easy. It just works. However, it doesn't with me.
For starters, when I create a new project, there are no XDCAM presets, despite it stating there are in the various documents I have read.
If I either try to import a file directly or copy it to the hard drive and then import it, I get:
Error Message
The importer reported a generic error
Not very helpful.
This is a trial version of Premier to try to establish if this product is any good. I did try to contact Adobe but they say they don't support trial users. Not very helpful. Since Adobe are obviously not very interested in selling their products, is there anyone else out there whop can answer this or should I just use Final Cut Pro instead (well if Adobe are not interested in helping a potential customer, what chance is there of being helpful once they have your money???)

As far as I am concerned, editing XDCAM EX files with CS4 - I have yet to edit XDCAM (HD) files - is as easy as editing DV(CAM) material on my i7 Extreme machine with Vista Ultimate and 12 Gig of RAM.
I am also pleased to report that the audio bug that beset CS3 when editing XDCAM EX files namely, audio cutting out randomly, is a thing of the past.
The whole CS4 Suite (including Premiere) has been running very smoothly on my (beefy) machine.

"Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...
15" PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.

How to use "choose file with prompt" command?

I need to use "choose file with prompt" command and I want give user possibility choose ONLY images (jpeg, png, gif). So, I write like this:
choose file with prompt "Please, choose images for processing..." of type {"JPEG Image"}
But this doesn't work! - All files (including jpegs) are dimmed, and user can't choose any....
So, how can I filter JPEGs, PNGs and GIFs?

I have found, that most of images on my computer has missing file_type, I don't know why..... so "type identifier of (info for (choose file))" also doesn't work properly.
The only one way that 100% works is use Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) -- details here: http://www.huw.id.au/code/fileTypeIDs.html
thanks.

Is anybody use Hyper File with LabView?

Is anybody use Hyper File with LabView?
I Have a project that need to conect to a hyper file data base Made by PCsoft.
Thanks

I have never used HyperFile, but a quick check of the company's website indicated that there are ODBC drivers available for it so it should be a simple matter connecting through ADO.

Streaming .FLV files from Media Server 4.5 using PHDS

I would like to stream .FLV files from adobe media server 4.5.
Requirements state that the files should be considered secret, so I decided that PHDS sounds like the
right thing.
I was able to stream an .FLV by placing it in the webroot/vod folder using an url like http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However the developer manual states that a way to enable PHDS at the server level is to uncomment the two lines like this.
<IfModule jithttp_module>
<Location /hds-vod>
    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
    HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/vod"
    JitFmsDirPath ".."
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption
# for this location.
   EncryptionScope server
   ProtectionScheme phds
</Location>
</IfModule>
However I am not able to stream my FLV using url like http://myserver/hds-vod/test.flv
Question : Am I supposed to use the hds-vod in the URL or is /vod doing the same ?
                  Is the approach correct, or should the files go into an applications\myapplication\media folder ?
                  I will need some server side actionscript to validate access to the stream, is that possible without a dedicated application ?

Hi,
When you use the vod location directive you're basically using Progressive download so your URL is as : http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However, when you use the location directive hds-vod, it is HTTP Streaming, where the fragments are created on the fly. For this your URL needs to be as : http://myserver/hds-vod/test.f4v.f4m
Please note .flv files are not supported for HTTP streaming (via hds-vod location directive). You cannot use PHDS with .flv files.
Thanks,

How to replace Adobe Flash media player for flv files with GOM player?

By default, Firefox opens Adobe Flash for flv files. Flv files aren't listed in my application page. How can I swap Flash for GOM or another player?

I'm using Firefox 3.16, and want to download/open a .flv file with Flashplyer plugin 10.2.153.1 which is also installed. How can I ad Flashplayer to the dropdown list of applications so I can select it for .flv file?

Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Firefox 3.16, Adobe Flashplayer 10.2.153.1

Thanks. I was clicking on a .flv file thinkin that I needed to download it from Khan Academy, however, that was not necessary. All I had to do was click on the forward arrow appearing above the download location to actually play the video. I now understand how to play the videos.
Thanks again.
