Video in flash presentation isn't playing ball...:(

Hi guys and gals,
I am creating a flash presentation for something that I'm doing at university on Friday, and the video is the only thing in the presentation that isn't working. Could I get some help with this please?
Right, here's what is happening:
The presentation I have some words, music and video and the words and music are playing fine (but the music and video are on the FLVPlayback thing so I think that's causing a problem, but I can't see how I can separate them) and the video comes into play. When I put the actionscript - stop() - at one bit of the presentation, nothing plays afterwards, and I'm wanting the whole thing to stop at the end of the music, and when a line of the presentation to come up (which is the last line) and then the video is just the one thing that is playing, along with this line which is stationary under the video.
I've used Flash before, but not with sound or video as I had no call for it, but now I do its not working. I've used the video tutorials to see if I am doing it right, and according to them, I am.
This flash presentation is not for a website, just for showing at a event.
If you'd like a bit more explanation, then just say and I'll do my best to make it clearer.

Hi, its me again
Sorry to bother you. But, I'm still having problems. I've separated the file, and put it in its own folder and then tried to see if it works then. And it plays the sound but no picture. The video extension is .f4v, so as you've said, it should work...but I don't understand why it doesn't

Video in Flash player does not play in C6

I have purchased Nokia C6-00, but in this phone videos do not play in Flash player. It gives me warning message that flash player required to play this video. On flash player site, it is mentioned that android 2.2 is required to install Flash player on your mobile.
How is it possible to play video in flash player on Nokia C6-00?

Symbian anna (new software version) update is available for C6-01 and C7 but there is no software update for C6-00 (with QWERTY keypad).
I am eagrly waiting for software update for C6-00. At least to provide support of FLASH LITE 4.0 so that flash video can be played on C6-00 handset.
I am facing one more problem with Skype utility on C6-00. I have installed latest Skype version on my mobile but even with 3.5G network speed, Skype login does not work.
When ever I sign-in on Skype, it will become idle in between signing process and nothing is happened and after frustration I have to close Skype application.

My videos on my iPod isn't playing, it's keeps saying connected to tv

Need to know how to take the tv mood of so I can watch my videos on my iPod again

Okay it seems like our iPod might be frozen so try holding the center and play buttons together for about 10 seconds. That would basically restart it. If you are able to turn it on again and you still don't have your stuff then it should be on the computer so just restore and sync it.

HD Video into a Flash Presentation...

Hello Everyone
Sorry, I know this is off topic but I find myself bobbing at the deep end and I could use some help.
I've created a video which will be presented on a 50" plasma as part of a Flash presentation.
Can anyone share experience as to how to get the best looking output from flash? And the best route for getting the video in there in the first place. I believe I can go via .flv or H264 - any ideas as to preference / data rates etc?
My video is currently Uncompressed 720p25 and the presentation is built at 1280x720x25fps.
Thanks in advance.
Tall Jim

do you have CS4's Media Encoder?
"the presentation is built at 1280x720x25fps"
this is the presentation size, but what size should your video be? 25fps in Flash will be irrelevant to your video frame rate. (e.g. - flash's timeline could be set to 1fps, but your video will play at whatever it was encoded at.)
You can look into the JW FLV player:

How do i play my videos in flash file after moving SWF file to website?

Hello all,
I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
Does anyone know how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
Sorry if I've waffled but I'm trying to clear up my situation .
Any help would be super, many thanks,
Flasher87

i am using the website wix, so in order to put the swf file up you just click the "Upload SWF" button, so i don't know how i could put the videos along with the swf, the swf is just sat on the page once i upload it.
second, when using this type of website do you know how i'd go about giving the website the permissions to play flv files?
Thank you.

Video from PP (via Presenter) doesn't play in Connect Meeting

Running Connect Pro SP2 and Presenter 7.0.2.
When I make a PowerPoint and import a video via the Presenter plug-in, I can publish it as content to the server, and the video plays. But when I share the presentation to a meeting, the video does not work.
Same results when I use Share Document from My Computer.
Is this not possible, or is there a problem? As a work-around, we're sharing the PowerPoint, and uploading the video separately. This works, but is not ideal.
Thanks in advance.

Can't play .flv video in Flash 8

I have recently converted three videos (each about 4 minutes
long) from .mov to .flv. in order to play them in Flash. However, I
can’t get them to play in Flash 8 Professional. I followed
the instructions in Flash help and imported the video into Flash
using the Video Import Wizard. I tried using each of the four
deployment options starting with “Progressive download from a
web server.” In my video folder I end up with three files for
a video, a Flash Video File (with FLV in the upper left corner), a
Flash Movie File, a Flash Document file, and a ClearOverPlayMute
Flash Movie file. However, when I open any of the files (including
the movie files) and click on Test Movie, the video doesn’t
play. To make things more interesting, I had previously converted
the same three videos from .mov to .flv before editing them and was
able to play all of them in Flash. But I can’t seem to repeat
the process with my new edited versions. I would appreciate it if
anybody could let me know what I am doing wrong.

In our experience with doing what you have described is this.
It takes 3 different pages of 3 different codes, to make
something play. Music, Videos-whatever.
html
php
javascript
Why, because someone didn't think forward enough to
incorporate it all into 1 easy to use thing at the time. There are
things available now that will do them all for you (Like my space
does for you), but we don't know where to send you to get them.
Good luck, and please do let us know if you find the proper
converter that will do it all for you and all you have to do is
give it a name, as we have well OVER 10 terabytes of video that we
would LOVE to share with the World, and writing 3 pages of code for
each video will take approximately 437 lifetimes, and we're all on
our last one already........

Macbook Air Mavericks cannot play video in ANY presentation application

Long ago, last year to be exact, I had a Macbook Pro 2009, with Open Office and MS Office older versions installed. They played embedded videos in both Impress and Powerpoint PERFECTLY.
This year I bought a Macbook Air and installed Open Office 4.1.0 and MS Office 2011. Now I cannot play any of the videos in these presentations.
I attempted to make new presentations and re-embed the videos. They play in Powerpoint fine ONCE, then not again. They do not embed at all in Open Office. The videos are all MP4 files.
This does not appear to be either a Microsoft or Open Office issue. To me this is clearly because of my upgrades. This is extremely frustrating, as I am a college professor and need to be able to use these programs without a problem. I also use presentations in my creative work.
Each time I find one more thing that I can no longer do with my new machine, I love Apple a little less. I hope someone can help.

I don't understand what your point is. If I have 15 minutes to edit the post, then I should have been able to edit the post 1 minute after posting it.
It is now 24 hours later - long past 15 minutes.

Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

Hello, I bought a song on iTunes that has a music video to it, but I don't want the song to play the music video. How can I make it so the music video isn't played?

Hello, iBillyxD.
Thank you for the question. The best way to avoid this behavior would be to delete the music video from your library. You can always download it again free by accessing your previous purchases. To delete and item in your iTunes library, select the item and hit delete on your keyboard.

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

Youtube videos/Flash games won't play/freeze browser in Firefox

Ever since I updated to the latest Firefox version I cannot get YouTube videos or Flash games to play. It will load the page and where the video should be it just displays a white space, like the player itself doesn't exist. Youtube when it first loads the page will show the black "video" screen for a split second before disappearing as if it never existed, and then the screen freezes and I have to start the task manager to end the program and restart Firefox. I have refreshed Firefox multiple times, downloaded the latest version of flashplayer and made sure that the plugin is activated to no avail. The funny thing is, is that the videos and games play just fine in Internet Explorer, so it's not a problem with the graphics or hardware on the computer itself.

Tried that solution many times. It had no effect. Here is the event log:

Flash with mp4 fallback plays both videos

hello everyone,
I have a flash with a mp4 fall back that is not functioning how it should.
if flash is disabled it works great(besides some css issues, ha)
but if flash is enabled it loads both videos, now i found some ppl online with this issue but wasnt able to apply the solutions to my situation. I almost think the flash is displayed twice, plus the other, but not sure, just need a second look.
<div id="flashcontent" style="width:560px;height:425px;position:absolute;left:200;top:100;z-index:2;">

</div>
also im having issues with the controls showing up on the stock html5 player, they show up if i change the zindex, so i know that the issue. Maybe someone would see a simple fix for that with firebug as well.
here is a link to the offending page:
http://www.deafboyzaudio.com/videos/play/Funny/Baby_Bass
thanks a lot guys

Ok i did some research on players over the weekend.
I decided to go with flowplayer because my cms uses that as an option for players. I was thinking it would take long time to switch it over but it wasnt bad, i just had to update the version.
In the end it has some cool aspect ratio features and thats what im really concerned about for mobile. So thanks for the push in the right direction guys.
But i will miss flash as it DOES have some features and functionality that html5 cant provide as well.
Streaming is something that I will miss that flash could provide.
Rich interactions with the video player, i no longer have related video tabs in the player and cool "guide" options. I still would like flash first, html5 second, at least for another year or so while the "extras" catch up with html5
but all and all flowplayer seems like it can do button navigation after the video, ill devise a layout that gives recommended videos at the end and that shold suffice.
Thanks again for the tips guys. I had to sacrifice some things but i think all in all it was a good move.
