Hi,
this is my first post.

I work with flash mx 6.0 on mac (but i have the same problem
on win), and I'm not able to include mu flv video into my scene.
Can anyone help me or send me a link to the documentation?
Thanks in advance, great job everyone!

I don't think you can preload an flv other then using a
buffer. If you figure it out let us know.
There is another message board...

FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 freezes when exporting to Flash Video (FLV). The resulting FLV file contains only a few seconds of the exported video. A 2009 Apple Support notice offers this re. FCP 6 and CS3 Flash Video Encoder...

Final Cut Pro: May quit unexpectedly when exporting to Flash
Last Modified: February 13, 2009
Article: TS2593
Symptoms
Final Cut Pro may quit unexpectedly when you export using QuickTime Conversion if you choose Flash Video (FLV) from the Format menu.
Products Affected
Final Cut Pro 6.x, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder
Resolution
This can happen if you use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder and Final Cut Pro together. This issue does not occur with the Flash Video Encoder in Adobe Creative Suite 4. To work around the issue:
Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
Be sure to enable Make Movie Self-Contained.
Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player.
Export the movie to Flash from QuickTime Player.

I just installed CS5, so I would think I shouldn't be bothered with an older, problematic Flash Video Encoder. I don't think I should have to convert an MOV file to an FLV file using QuickTime Reader or anything else. Why doesn't it export correctly out of FCPro 7.0.2?

oh well.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

Hi -
I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
I'm going to: Insert - Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle. But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software). This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others. This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
thanks!
Stacey Stanley

This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
1) Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters? If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
2) Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file. Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
3) When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server? Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

Hide controls flash video (flv)

Is there a way to hide the controls on a flash video (flv) until the user scrolls over the video? So the page opens, the video starts playing (still no controls visable) and then when a user scrolls over the video, you then see the controls for the first time. I have searched high and low.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks for your assistance Jim....
I can't view the code in the library or action script. I am using a default skins (Corona Skin 3) that you apply through dreamweaver "Insert Media > Flash Video". I open up the skin in Flash, but it is a swf and I can't seem to find any code to alter.
Here is a link to what the video where the client wants the hidden controls :
http://www.harithproductions.com/index09.html
I did find a more transparent skin, so If I can't figure it out, maybe he can live with it.
I am not experienced in editing the skins, so I apologize for being a little naive.

Flash video FLV getting stuck in same spot

hi there,
i'm not sure if anyone has posted about this exact same
question, but if so, i can't find the answer. but i used to have no
problems at all importing quicktime or other format video files
into flash and exporting them as flv files. but it seems like
lately it's playing as normal and then getting stuck about half way
through. it's happening to me now with a quicktime file but it's
happened before with mp4 files as well. but...not every time.
by the process of elimination i'm trying to figure out if
it's a flaw with the originating quicktime file, if it's a quirk
with CS3, how the program is handling other files of the same
format. at times i am able to import a quicktime file and it
exports as it is supposed to. but it seems more often than not, i'm
not able to. is it the codec i'm using? the publishing setting?
i know it's not the file size because it gets stuck even when
i play it on my harddrive. i'm going crazy, has anyone else worked
through this problem or is it something wrong with my system?
helpp!!!!!!!

You'll need to create a crossdomain.xml file as evidenced by the following header:
http://web.zone.ee/crossdomain.xml
HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
A cross-domain policy file is an XML document that grants a web client—such as Adobe Flash Player (though not necessarily limited to it)—permission to handle data across multiple domains.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (.flv) File in Page Using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert Media Command

I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
"While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
with an OK button.
If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

IMovie '08: Movie to Flash Video (FLV)?

Hello,
Long story short, I sent some the below directions to a co-worker on how he could export an FLV from iMovie '08... but he told me that he did not have the "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)" option. Do the below directions not apply to all copies of iMovie '08?
1. Go to menu: "Share" and choose "Export Using Quicktime"
2. From the "Export:" drop-down, choose "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)"
3. Click the "Options" button, and use these settings:
-- "Profiles" tab: Choose "Flash 8 - Medium Quality (400kbps)"
-- "Video" tab: Leave as default settings, but change "Max data rate"
to "464", and "Key frame intraval" to "6".
-- "Audio" tab: If your video has audio, choose "Encode audio" and set
the "Data rate:" to "48 kbps (mono)"
-- "Cue Points" tab: Leave at default settings.
-- "Crop and Resize" tab: Choose "Resize video". All videos should be
set at 480px width... So, if your video is 720x480, you would scale it
to 480x320 (4:3 ratio). 1920x1080 would scale down to 480x270 (HD 16:9 ratio.)
- Hide quoted text -
4. Click "Ok"
5. Choose a Save location under the "Where" drop-down.
6. Click "Save".
Your thoughts?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Micky

Exporting QuickTime to Flash Video (.flv) requires a complete install of Adobe Flash software ($$$).
QuickTime 7.4 has ended support for Flash Video inside QuickTime containers and you may run into other issues with the Adobe component because of this.
The free Perian component did allow import of .flv into QuickTime Pro and export to QuickTime formats. That too has ended in version 7.4.
Cheap way would be to upload to YouTube and let them convert and create your .flv file. Then just "borrow" the Flash Video file by opening the direct link and saving using a browser.

Flv video created with flash 8 video encoder

anyone know why flv files that I've created using the flash 8
video encoder don't seem to have any metadata in them? or maybe
they do but they never kick off the NetStream.onMetadata event so I
can't read it...
Similarly if I use the 'import video' function of Flash Pro 8
I get the same issue - yet FLV video created using Sorenson Squeeze
works fine, so I'm fairly confident that my code is OK.
Even more bizarrely, if I use the FLVPlayback component that
ships with Flash 8, that seems to read in the metadata OK!
argh!
Just to confuse things even more, the flash help for
NetStream.onMetadata says: "The Flash Video Exporter utility
(version
1.1 or greater) embeds a video's duration [...] into the
video file itself."
As far as I can tell I've got version 1.0 of the flash video
encoder/exporter but I'm damned if I can find out where to get an
update from...! Ever since CS3 came out it's been harder and harder
to get hold of stuff about flash 8 on the Adobe site...

well that's the thing - the metadata never traces out if the
video was encoded with flash video encoder, but that code would
work fine with video encoded with sorenson squeeze.
think I have worked it out now though: in order to pause the
video at start I am calling NetStream.seek(0) when I receive
"NetStream.play.start".
For some reason when I do this with flvs encoded using flash
video encoder, it stops the onMetaData event from firing - but
works fine with other flvs! weird... shall have to find another way
of pausing the video at the start I guess.
thanks for the reply though

Flv videos on adobe flash lite?

How i can play flv videos on adobe flash lite? i have windows mobile 5 on a tmobile mda phone

Go to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flashlite2_1_winmobile_download create an account and download then install it. Then it is integrated into Internet Explorer and lets you watch videos in FLV format; youtube, metacafe, ect. So once you install it all you need to do is go to youtube.

Playing video from a flash streaming server

Hi I've been trying to insert a video in a flash project that is hosted on a flash media server. I put the address wich by the way is rtmp://p8bezucu.rtmphost.com/testevideo/portfolio.flv and it doesn't work, I'm pretty sure that the address is right, am I misssing something? Thanks a lot

Have you tried dropping the .flv from the source url string? I think if the FLVPlayback component sees .flv it thinks it is a progressive download instead of a stream.

Working with a FLV inside Flash?

Is there ever a time you would want/need to import a FLV into
Flash? I
tried it and am able to open a FLV in Flash, just curious if
anyone's
workflow ever includes opening a FLV or not.
Thanks.

by flvplayback component or a video object, do you mean you
would use
one of these to play a flv through a swf without ever needing
to import
the actual flv back into flash?

always use a flvplayback component or a video object to display the

Unloading External Video FLV

I've got an image on the stage that I wish to replace with an
external video (.flv) clip. At the end of the clip I want the image
to be visible again and the video to clear.
Here is how I've set it up so far:
1) I've placed an instance of dan_mc on the stage which is an
image.
2) I've created a Video symbol in the Library that I've named
videoHolder_video that is actionscript controled.
3) Using the Flv Encoder, I've encoded a short video clip,
I've embeded an Event cuePoint at the end of the video and named it
"end".
4) I've placed two buttons on the stage: play_btn &
remove_btn
5) on the actions frame I've placed the attached code:
Problem I'm having:
Everything works except for the videoHolder_video does not
get cleared at the end. Original image is visible again, and trace
action is executed telling me that the if statement is detecting
the "end" cuePoint. Additionaly I added a function to the
remove_btn to test the videoHolder_video.clear() command and it
works if I use the remove_btn. So I'm at a loss why the
videoHolder_video does not clear when the play_btn is used. Any
input would be helpful. Thank you,
Max

import the .mov into flash and flash will convert it into a
.flv.

Using a video stream (NOT streaming a video clip) in Flash?

Hello,
I need to get a RTSP video stream into Flash but I can't
figure out if it is possible to do. Also, the stream is encoded
using H.264 for video and AAC for audio. Any suggestions on how to
make this fly is more than welcome.
Best regards from a sunny Stockholm - spring is finally here!

Just check it with the .flv files. If it works fine for them
then your code is fine and you have to search for your format or convert it in flv my any means.

Import YouTube Videos (.flv) - 1 works/1 does not

I was wondering if anyone might be able help me with a curious problem in Premiere Pro CS4 (running on Vista Home Basic).
A client came to me to re-edit and update some old marketing videos they had previously uploaded to youtube. They did not have the source files anymore so I had to work off the youtube flash versions. So I played them in youtube and then copied the .flv files out of my internet cache into my project source folder. When I then tried to import both .flv files into Premiere Pro CS4, one of them imported fine, but the other came up with "The file appears to have no media data" error message, and would not import. Both .flv files play fine in the Adobe Media Player. The same problem occured in After Effects CS4 as only one of the two files would import.
The client's files were quite long but I did find some shorter files that also re-created the problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6oIwFGy9JI (4:06)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8ZfZ5eyeIA (3:45)
Both are versions of the same retro music clip. Curiously it is the one that was more recently uploaded to youtube that imports fine. If you allow both videos to fully buffer you will then will be able to copy them out of your internet cache. If you sort by file size the youtube videos should be near the top with a filename something like; "videoplayback?id=4b0...". When you then copy the files somewhere else they will be renamed something like "video[1].flv". Then if you try importing them into Premiere one will work and one will not and come up with the "The file appears to have no media data" error.
I assume that flash videos can use different video codecs but the generic error message puts a stop to my troubleshooting so I was wondering if anyone with more expertise might be able to shed some light on some possible causes of the problem. The fact that I can't get past is that "Adobe Media Player" can play all .flv files fine so why isn't Premiere Pro capable of just using the same codec?
Thankyou for your consideration,
Chris

Thanks Charles (& Charles).
All of your suggested workarounds worked great. I think what worked best for me was adding the "&fmt=18" to the end of the YouTube URL, which plays a .mp4 version of the video instead, and then after copying out of the interent cache and renaming, Premiere imports the video fine no problems.
That site: http://keepvid.com works great if you don't want to clear your internet cache (as finding specific videos can be a little difficult) although you would be effectively downloading the same file twice, once to view it, another to download.
If as you say the file was originally uploaded as a .flv file then those free converters do a great job at converting them to mpeg2's or other formats.
As it turned out, in testing the "Any Video Converter (Free Version)" I think I found the source of the original problem. When I added both of those aforementioned test .flv youtube videos, the "format" column identified the video that did import onto Premiere as "FLV1" format, and the other which did not as "H264". I then tested this with a few other youtube videos and sure enough all of the FLV1s format videos did import into Premiere but all of the H264 .flv videos would not. They all came up with the "The file appears to have no media data" error message.
So for future forum reference the simple definition of the problem appears to be that Premiere Pro CS4 (and After Effects CS4) will not import a flash video (.flv) that uses the H264 format.
Thanks again Charles(s) for all of your suggestions,
Chris
p.s. During my testing I also tried copying a YouTube HD video (1280x720 .mp4 - Premiere identified it as a XDCAM-EX Movie) out of my cache after playing, and Premiere accepted it no problems

Can't convert MP4 to .fLV for flash using encoder CC 2014

Hi
Seriously adobe, I wish I never upgraded to CC, it's been a nightmare.
I need to convert an MP4 to an .flv for flash pro CC. Encoder CC no longer supports this, which is UNBELIEVABLE....
I use a third party vendor for video in flash banner advertising and it only supports .flv files.
Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?

> Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?
The previous version of Adobe Media Encoder or After Effects, which you can have installed alongside the current version:
removal of FLV and F4V export features from Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere Pro
