Video Skins

Is Adobe doing any work to extend the Flex 2 VideoDisplay
class with more sophisticated controls, similar to what can be done
in DreamWeaver or Flash skins with seek sliders etc ? I realise
could do extend VideoDisplay or VideoPlayer myself, but it would be
nice if there was a simple way to emulate the extensive library of
video skins that come with DreamWeaver & Flash.
Thanks

I have moved this question to the Flex 2 General Discussion
Forum...

  • Video Skin not working in embedded SWF

    Are there issues with using a video skin on an swf that sits on a web page? Specifically, I have an swf that has a FLVPlayback component. The skin and its path are specified in the Parameters tab; autohide set to true.
    When the FLV in the swf plays, the skin appears on a mouse_over, as it should be. However, if the swf has the same dimensions as the flv, and the mouse rolls away, then it appears to me that the swf never "gets the message" that the mouse is no longer over it... and therefore the skin does not hide. Is this normal?
    If so, what's the work around? Designing the swf to be larger than the flv? I'd rather not, as that makes for some un-elegant (is that a word?) designing.
    Thanks,
    David

    Fixed it.
    var vSound1 = new Sound(this);
    var vSound2 = new Sound(this);
    var vSound3 = new Sound(this);
    playSound1 = function () {
    this.vSound1.start();
    on (press) {
    this.playSound1();
    }

  • Flash video skin issue

    I created my flash video with a video skin I selected in CS4 and the skin file shows up in the same folder as the video but when I add the swf file to dreamweaver CS4 the controls that should show up underneath the video are not there. Does anyone have an answer because I'm going crazy.

    Yes. All in my flash folder. Skin is call SkinUnderAll.swf. I did notice in Dremweaver that this file does not show up in the code with the rest of the video code. When I add the video swf do I still need to add the skin file also. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to.

  • Adding extra functions to flash video skin

    Is it possible to add an email button or link to a custom
    flash video skin, and script it so it only appears at the
    conclusion of the video?

    Answer: You can add your movieClip or button to FLVPlayBack
    component, like i did.
    uFlvPlayer.addChild(PlayTime_txt);
    It works in FullScreen mode now.

  • Problem with video skin doesn't display on html although the video played normally.

    I used "Adobe media encoder" to convert a video file to "FLV" format, so that I can import to "Adobe Flash CS5" . I have chosen all the component buttons and tried to "publish preview" on to html but the video skin doesn't display although the video does. Two swf file skin file + fla + swf movie + html are all in the same folder.
    Please help....I have tried to fix this problem for 10 hours already and still have no luck, tried to search online for solution but counldn't find anything.

    I already gave you the answer to your problem and now here is
    the proof:
    http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin/dancin.swf
    Notice the skin?
    http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin.html
    Notice the lack of a skin?
    This is because the skin is in the wrong directroy. If I put
    the skin in the same folder as the HTML file, not the swf, it
    works. So if you would do what I said a few posts ago and make this
    work:
    http://www.mikelrouse.com/SteelExternalAll.swf
    Then your problem would be solved. The problem is that the
    skin path must be defined by the html file calling the swf file,
    not the location of the swf file.

  • Embedded video skins

    Embedding video in swf and placing in InDesign for export to
    PDF. Don't see a way to include embedded skins with embedded video
    to get a single swf to place in InDesign to ultimately get PDF
    playback with the skin. Procedure or examples to do this?

    Hi Steve
    I believe you would do this as follows.
    1. Click Project > Skin...
    2. In the Skin: drop down, scroll to the bottom of the list
    and choose "BMP Playbars".
    This should result in a single file that contains the former
    version of controls. However, you will also find that Captivate 2
    will still output two .SWF files along with the HTML file. If you
    upload both the HTML file and the .SWF file to your LMS, you will
    need to amend the HTML file so it correctly references only the
    base .SWF file. It seems that Captivate 2 will seemingly always
    point at the playback control file in the HTML file. The playback
    control file then loads up the main .SWF file. Also note that the
    HTML file will also contain a differing height statement for the
    movie. Presumably this is to account for the added playback
    control.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Can you resize Video Skins in Flash CS3

    I am inserting a Flash Video into a file and trying to
    include the automatic skin from the import dialogue box. If I have
    a small video (say around 180 pixels wide), the skin juts out
    obtrusively off to the sides. Is there a way to manage the size of
    the skin?

    I don't know about about as3 versions but the as2 versions
    can have a minimum width which I think from memory is defined in
    the skin file itself.
    You could make your own skin by copying one of the existing
    skin flas and changing it to suit , including the line of code that
    specifies the minimum width.

  • Want to modify FC 5.5 video skin. (need controller bar to disappear)

    There seems to be a limited degree of control over the video controller skins in Flash catalyst. I want the nice appearance of 'no controller' plus the capability of of play, stop . fullscreen. ie. Have the bar appear on mouseover. I'm not a great coder, but can usually muddle my way through once I have some direction.
    Thanks!

    Hi Trisha,
    The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
    Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

  • Insert Flash Video Skin Issue

    When I Insert a Flash Video the second drop down box is
    titled Skin. I have 9 options, 3 Clear, 3 Corona, 3 Halo. The first
    two types add the Play Bar on to the video which shows when
    scrolled over. The third adds it to the bottom.
    The Halo option is what I want, a play bar at the bottom,
    however this option seems to also a black line sized border just
    outside the whole of the video. I can not seem to find a way to
    stop this. What folder are these play bars located in? Could I add
    more to it, or use flash to modify the existing skin to change
    colour or remove that border or just plain make my own?
    Thanks

    Yes. All in my flash folder. Skin is call SkinUnderAll.swf. I did notice in Dremweaver that this file does not show up in the code with the rest of the video code. When I add the video swf do I still need to add the skin file also. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to.

    Hi,
    on the assumption we think the same way I refer to the answer of PZ (= Paula) here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3382184#338218
    Hi
    The answer is you cannot, the skins are a requirement for the use of the flash player, and the right-click menu is there for the users security settings which you cannot override.
    Your only other alternative is to use the html5 video, but then your videos would not play in IE<9.

  • Flash Video Skin Not Loading in Firefox

    Hello everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with a Flash
    Video file. I'm helping a friend out by doing some work on his
    webpage. He had a video that he wanted to put up on his news page,
    so I converted the video to an flv and used the flv player
    component to make a video player linked it. I uploaded the skin's
    swf file, the player's swf file, and the flv to the same directory.
    I made an iframe pointing to the player.swf file in the news
    section of the site. I tested it in IE; it works like a charm.
    Video loads, skin loads, and it plays etc... but in any version of
    firefox, only the video loads and just sits there (autoplay is
    off). What can the problem be? Link : (should work in IE, not
    FIREFOX
    Here .
    Once you can recover from the reporter's amusing slack-jawed mug,
    please help me out!

    Actually, this occurred to me later this afternoon, but I use Gentoo, which normally builds from source (cuz I am hardcore like that). I uninstalled the normal build and reinstalled the prebuilt binary and everything works. I am happy again and just need to play around with the source build options, which I can do later.
    Thanks!

  • Flash video skins

    Are there any plug ins I can use to add more options to the skins that are currently available in CS3?  I need a skin that displays UNDER the video, not on top of it and with timing and video length.  I am not a programmer, I'm just inserting flash videos into webpages and am stuck with the choices that dreamweaver cs3 provides, non of which is what I need.  Please help me!

    DW's skin choices are limited because it's not a Flash application.   If you're good with Action Script, you could build your own custom player in Flash or you could use any of the pre-built Flash players on the web.

  • Getting the path right for video skins

    I have a progressive video and have added a Flash player skin
    to it. So far, I've been able to get it all to show up, when the
    playerskin.swf is on the root directory of my host. That is
    working. Now I want to put that video in a page on another person's
    site, so I furnish them with the Object/Embed code that points to
    my video clip. Fine -
    But where does the playerskin.swf go then - on their server
    or on mine? And where?
    Am I missing something - shouldn't I be able to set the
    entire path to this player in the .fla file, so that it is
    published with the video's .swf file? so that all the correct paths
    are in the video clip .swf?
    I'm using Flash 8, BTW. Help would be appreciated.

    Where will all the file be ? on your server or the person
    server ?
    if on your server than you must specify in skin path the full
    url
    http://www.person.com/folder/skin.swf
    , else you can upload all to that guy server.

  • HTML path to video skins

    I have a simple page in HTML with an embedded
    movie.swf file and the support files (
    AC_RunActiveContent.js, skin.swf, movie.flv).
    Everything works fine if I publish it with the html file and
    movie.swf are in the same directory. But I'd like to keep
    all the movies in a separate directory (at the same level as the
    html file). When I publish it, the video works fine but the
    navigation bar (skin) is missing.

    Thanks Tom, That was the "easy" answer I was looking for.
    For those who don't use Dreamweaver, I published everything
    in a directory named "video", then moved the html document out of
    that directory and changed the following (the use and non-use of /
    or .swf extensions can be confusing) :
    - in SC_FL_RunContent:
    'src', 'video/filename'
    'base', 'video'
    'movie', 'video/filename'
    - in object tag:
    <param name="base" value="video" />
    <param name="movie" value="video/filename.swf" />
    <embed src="video/filename.swf" ...
    The "allowFullScreen" problem was unrelated. Apparently,
    transparent windows can't go full screen.
