Want FLV file to play on a web page without a player. See my example

I need to play a FLV file on a web page, but I don't want it playing in a visible player. That is I don't want there to be the usual Play button and no frame. I want it to work and look much like this link:
http://www.personal-injury-attorney-los-angeles.com/
It is similar to those infamous "Mac vs PC" videos which occasionally play on the home page of NYtimes.com.
My flash ability in this area is limited. (I'm a Joomla pro but not a flash pro.)
Looking at the source code, I see various swf controller file links, and some javascript, I think. I have no idea what is in the swf files that may or may not be making it all work.
First of all I don't even know if it is possible for a FLV file to play above html and then disappear revealing the html when it is finished playing. I assume with the swf and javascript and divs this is possible, but am not sure.
Ideally I would love the complete code if possible. Or links to where I can find out how to do it.
Need clarification? Just let me know!
Thanks

it's possible. but you have quite a lot to learn or you should hire someone. it's unlikely you'll find someone to do all that gratis.
if you want to learn, check the video class. it will let you play the flv file without a skin.
you can also use the flvplayback component with no skin. that will add to your swf's file size with no benefit except it's easier to use than the video class.
the floating and disappearing can all be done with divs.

Inserted FLV files not playing in a published project.

The issue: Inserted FLV files display (play) when previewing a project but not in a published project.
My setup: Windows XP and Captivate 5
Questions:
   1) When in Filmstrip view only the movie playback bars show, not an image of the actual movie, is this correct?
   2) When I preview a project for the first time, the FLV files display (play) in Preview mode, HOWEVER, any time I preview the project after that, the movies do not play.
   3) When I publish a project, the inserted FLV files do not display (play), they only show the movie playback bars.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, all the files are in the same directory.

How can I get an .flv file to play on my Mac?

If all you wan't to do is view the .flv video file and do nothing else to it, video players like VLC and Niceplayer will do the trick. Installing the PERIAN extension to Quicktime will also do the trick.

AC4 - Random Question - the flv files are played automatically! What is the problem?

I have a problem under AC4 - random questions created from a question pool with questions containing "flv" files - are played automatically (as if the "Autostart" option was ticked") If I move all the questions with video (flv) into a filmstrip, I can decide when to play the video. How can I deal with this problem? I need those type of questions to be chosen randomly but the user has to decide when to play the video. Any ideas?

Cant play swf in web page

I imported one flv file(large-80MB) in Flash 8 and used
Mediaplayback component to play it in Flash.It works ok.I generated
a html page with .swf file .When I copy the html page (with code)
in my web page(asp.net) I can not see the video.Is the file size
(flv) has to do do something?
I thought that since swf is a small(68.8Kb) file it should
play in my web page.
Does big flv files once converted to swf gives
trouble???

yes i did..
i was able to resolve the problem.my content path was not
correct.

Including an email address on a web page without it being harvested for spam

As per the title really - anyone know of a method of including an email address on a web page without it being picked up by spam bots?
Usually if i want to avoid that, I just do a little form with a honey trap, but I'm working on a page that needs contact details for around 100 places, so doing 100 odd forms for a single page might be a little impractical.... Thanks.

Impossible.

Run it inside a script that parses an XML file based on the link's ID - one script, many links, no directly visible mail addresses (though, of course bots can still parse the XML file itself, if not in a hidden directory or something liek that).

Sometimes when I roll the cursor across a bookmark, my browser jumps to that web page without me clicking on it. Is there any way to turn this function off?

On occasion I will roll my cursor across a bookmark and my browser will take me to that web page without me clicking on it. I've been unable to detect a pattern; it seems to happen randomly. Can someone explain why this is happening? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I can change to prevent this from happening? And if so, can I be given instructions how to do that?

this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...

You cannot. You could do so in an applet though, but then you're not doing it "on the webpage".

FLV Files Not Playing

our web host. The actual page that has the video inserted is

Getting .flv files to play in browsers

I have a website I just put up which is designed to show videos that I've produced. I want the videos to play in a new window in the local browser (using Target=_blank in HTML), and I thought the Flash plugin would recognize the files and play them. The files have all been converted into .flv, and the thumbnails each link to a video file, but the browsers won't play them. How do I get this to work?
The site is at: evanpetty.com.

Video is a weak spot for me, so I have to be careful about not leading you astray. You should be able to set up controls somehow for a player, but I don't know what that would consist of. Chances are you could use Google to find a tutorial... search terms that might yield good results would be "Flash FLVPlayback tutorial".
I know it is possible to build a player that has selections of different videos to play, and I made an AS2-based one without making use of the FLVPLayback component, but I could only have done it thru the help of a tutorial. Instead of choosing the component, in that version I end up going to the little list icon that's in the top right of the library and choosing New Video... that adds some kind of Video device to the library that I can place on stage and size. The rest of the dealings with it involve code. For that one, maybe you could find something using ""Flash New Video tutorial"

Playing swf file by onclick in html web page

First time poster so please forgive any protocol lapses. I'm trying to play an AS3 swf embedded in my web page by an onclick javascript function in my page.

swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");
swfobject.registerObject("FlashID2");

No need to be sorry... one other thing... the url to the swf uses the "public_html" directory as a lead-in.
<param name="movie" value="public_html/our nations.swf" />
The public_html directory of a web site is typically where a web site's content is placed as the base for a web site on a host server. Unless you have a directory named public_html within what is probably already the public_html folder, then you do not want to specify that. It is more probably supposed to be...
<param name="movie" value="our nations.swf" />
If you look at the various images that are specified in the html code, they do not specify that directory. So if the swf is in the same folder as them, you do not want to be specifying the public_html part of that address.

New Client wants FLV File

I have a potential client that wants a flash video -flv. I
have not made flash video before. I gave them a flv file that was
close to what they wanted. But, I really don't know what I am
doing. I have an idea but not sure if I am doing it right or
what... 1. I edit on final cut pro and i thought that I could just
creat a qt file and import it to the sorenson squeez and make the
flash video, But it will only except AVI,DVor Mov files which means
I have to compress it before I put it in squeez for the flv file. 2
I am using Soesen Squeez on a mac platform I am not sure if the
client is using PC or mac. There is a buffer between me and the
tech person this is because of the person I am dealing with. Is
there a internet site or a how to to see that or some who can help
me?

It doesn't matter if the client is on PC or Mac - the FLV
file is an FLV file regardless.
You probably didn't get the correct version of Sorenson
Squeeze. There is a version that supports quicktime:
http://www.sorensonmedia.com/pages/?pageID=99
quote:
All Squeeze products support a wide variety of input formats,
including Windows Media, QuickTime, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4/H.264,
3GPP, AVI, DV, MP3, ASF, AAC, WAV, WMA, and WMV.

How can I save a web page without creating a dozen or more tiny files, which is worse than Internet Explorer?

When I try to save a Firefox web page, I get about a dozen tiny files with funny names cluttering up my documents folder, and making it hard to find anything. This reminds me of problems I used to have with Internet Explorer more than ten years ago. But at least, IE was kind enough to gather all of these files in a single folder, named "files". Firefox dumps them all into my documents folder. Messy.
Years ago, I discovered Opera, which offered a file format that combined the original html code with the other files into one file: an internet archive, with the extension mht instead of htm. I used Opera for years, but recently became aware of the advantages of Firefox.
A few days ago, I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and installed it. I have been evaluating it ever since. It looks good; I have figured out (more or less) how bookmarks work, and I'm getting used to the taskbars.
But when I try to save a page, I still get a deluge of tiny files cluttering up the target folder. Firefox doesn't save pages in archive form, but only in the old scattered form. Of course, I could simply save only the html. Maybe that's the best thing, but it loses a lot.
The chaos of junky files cluttering up my target folder is enough to send me back to Opera, despite its limitations.

This extension allows for web pages to saved on MHT format. <br />

Playing video in web page instead of full screen

There is no "web authoring for iPad" forum. So I apologize for posting in the inappropriate section.
I have a web page with multiple video feeds, each with its own playlist, all playing at the same time. This works well with computer browsers. But the iPad/iPod/iPhones keep opening one video full screen. Is there a way to get the videos to play in their place on the web page instead?

Only the iPad is capable of playing videos in place. iPhone and iPod Touch will always open videos in a separate Quicktime window. I don't believe you have to do anything special for the video to play in place on iPad. Just embed the video as normal.

Acrobat File Not Found After Printing Web Page

Here is my problem:
I am trying to print a web page from our intranet but once the process is complete, a log file opens saying:
"The system cannot find the file" and then it lists the file I just tried to create.
The page is basic HTML with a small amount of Javascript. Disabling the Javascript had the same problem.
The page is about 30 pages long. Only printing the first page had the same problem.
Printing to PDF on an external site had the same problem.
I tried the same process in Office and ran into the same problem.
Here is what I am doing:
I am opening the web page in the browser. I go to File > Print. I select "Adobe PDF" as my printer. I do not make any edits to the settings.
Here is my environment:
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Windows XP SP3.
Tried it both in Firefox 3.6 & IE 7.
"Acrotray.exe" is running in the background.
Acrobat is completely updated.
Is it a setting issue? Possibly a software conflict issue?
Thanks,
-B

Thanks for the reply!
Here are answers to your questions:
No, I cannot print to PDF from other applications.
I do have have the checkboxes to request filename and open in Acrobat selected.
I do not get an error from Distiller during the process of creating a PDF. It isn't until it is completely done that the log file pops up that simply says, "The system cannot find the file" and lists the file location (i.e. c:\users and settings\desktop...).
Beyond that log file, it looks like everything is running fine.
Let me know if any other information that will help.
