Where flash video stores flv file path

Hi
i select from menu insert->media->flash video and then
select the flv file and click ok and i try to search for my file to
change it to dynamic criteria like <?php echo
$row_rsfnames['fname']; ?> to get flv files from a database
How to do that?
if this player doesn't support this feature i need DW
extension that can do this to get flv files from a database.
thanks in advance.

any help

Can Adobe After Effects 5.5 Educational Version produce Flash video in FLV file format.

Everything I see here says yes, but I don’t see that option in the software.

The only thing I want to do with this software is create a FLV video file with a transparent background using RGB+Alpha.
I’ve seen After Effects v3 do what I want, and this video says the version I have will do just that (http://www.peachpit.com/podcasts/episode.aspx?e=5a0c0558-708a-4511-af87-41797811841d), but I don’t have a FLV option in export. Could it be I have some options set incorrectly?

FLEX debugger not hitting breakpoints, because Flash sometimes embeds source file paths with wrong letter case?

I was trying to figure out why breakpoints were working fine for source files in some locations but not others. FlashDevelop's debugger (which I believe is actually the FLEXSDK debugger) was successfully connecting, tracing output, and hitting breakpoints in SOME files, but not others.
I downloaded SWFInvestigator from Adobe Labs and checked the embedded debug paths for various source files to see what was going on.
I discovered that files in which no breakpoints could be hit had their paths embedded in all lowercase (e.g. "c:\users\username\desktop\source\myproject" instead of "C:\Users\username\Desktop\source\MyProject").
So I have two questions:
First, is this a Flex debugger issue, or a FlashDevelop plugin issue? Letter case shouldn't matter or interfere with matching file paths in Windows.
Second, what could possibly influence the letter case of embedded paths in a SWF output by Flash Professional (CS6), such that they are sometimes all lowercase and other times maintain the same case from the file system? And why would that affect a debuggers ability to hit breakpoints in Windows 7? I am compiling in multiple ways. Sometimes clicking Publish within Flash. Sometimes the file being published is not even open in Flash, and my JSFL script file is passed to Flash.exe containing embedded file paths to open the document. Usually, everything seems to work fine, no matter where I publish from, regardless of whether the FLA file is open or not. I'm honestly starting to believe that it depends on how the FLA was last opened in Flash Professional, as though it saves some sort of last access path internally and uses that to embed debug information.

I don't think it's the source path in my case, because it's simply the dot ".", although I did check that because it would most likely influence the embedded paths.
In the library path, I use relative paths exclusively, since all my individual project folders exist in the same "source" folder.
Here's how I arrived at the conclusion that something more complex or "stateful" must be occuring:
I publish my files with a one-click application, which does the following
updates version timestamps (static constants) in specific files via regex match
fills in a JSFL template with the FLA filename and writes the JSFL file to disk, then passes the JSFL file path to flash.exe for publication
the JSFL then runs a command, which signals the main application via cross-process communication that the script has finished publishing
That all makes it easy for me to update and publish multiple projects and deploy them, with a single click. Here is the JSFL template I created, which has been drastically simplified since the days where it used to search to see if the file was open in Flash, select the document, and call publish. Now it just uses the publishDocument method to silently publish files without opening them.
var filepath = "FLAFILEPATH"; //template parameter: the URI (beginning with "file:///") of the FLA file to publish
fl.publishDocument( filepath, "PUBLISHPROFILENAME" );
FLfile.runCommandLine("COMPLETECOMMAND");
The C# app replaces the strings in all caps with the actual values. The COMPLETECOMMAND is actually populated with the application's own executable path, along with a "complete" switch, which lauches a 2nd instance, which handles the complete switch by broadcasting a signal over an interprocess channel and then terminates. The main instance captures the signal, triggers a wait handle, and continues with publishing the next file. Here is the core code for it:
private string fillTemplate( string fla_directory, string fla_filename, string publish_profile_name )
    string fileuri = "file:///" + Path.Combine( fla_directory, fla_filename ).Replace( '\\','/' );
    return EmbeddedResources.OpenAndPublish //JSFL template file embedded as string resource
        .Replace( "FLAFILEPATH", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( fileuri ) )
        .Replace("COMPLETECOMMAND", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( "\"" + Application.ExecutablePath + "\"" + " -publishcomplete" )) //call self with -publishcomplete switch to signal main instance's publishCompleteSignal
        .Replace("PUBLISHPROFILENAME", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( publish_profile_name ) );
private static readonly string FLASH_PATH = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\Flash.exe";
public void publish( string fla_directory, string fla_filename, string publish_profile_name )
    Program.publishCompleteSignal.Reset();
    string template = fillTemplate( fla_directory, fla_filename, publish_profile_name );
    string curdir = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
    string tempJSFLfilepath = Path.Combine( curdir, "temp_script.jsfl" );
    File.WriteAllText( tempJSFLfilepath, template );
    Process p = Process.Start( FLASH_PATH, tempJSFLfilepath );
    Program.publishCompleteSignal.WaitOne( 30000 ); //timeout after 30 seconds
Here's where it gets interesting. The FLAFILEPATH has ALWAYS been passed in as all lower case, yet this publication method has worked 99% of the time for hundreds of publish operations every day. This applies to both the publication of the first SWC, which is referenced by the second published SWF (both were being published with lowercase paths), yet the paths for the main SWF were remaining in lowercase, while those in the referenced SWC were maintaining the correct case from the file system.
So there may be any number of things going on here. SWCs may be published differently than SWFs, such that SWCs always have the correct letter case for debug source files, regardless of how the source FLA project was opened. Ensuring the path passed to publishDocument uses the right case definitely fixes the problem, but it doesn't explain why it usually worked, despite having always been passing a lowercase string. The only variable I can think of in all of this is Windows itself or Flash, such as whether the document was open in Flash at the time the silent JSLF publishDocument command ran, and how that FLA was last opened (via shortcut, via "recent documents" in Flash, via recent documents in Windows. It has to be something, even if it's something as obscure as how the folder path was last accessed in windows, although I strongly suspect it's just how (in terms of path case) the FLA was last opened in Flash.
In any case, I'm happy that passing the right case to JSLF's publishDocument command fixes the problem, so I'm not going to spend any more time trying to figure out how opening the FLA in various ways could affect the embedded debug paths. The only thing that should be done is to address how paths with the wrong case are handled when they do get embedded that way for whatever reason. Perhaps the flex debugger should be updated to use case-insensitive matches in case-insensitive file systems, unless, perhaps, this is a FlashDevelop debugger issue after all.

Does quicktime support flash video or flv format

Where does mavericks store photo files

where does mavericks store photo files.

where does mavericks store photo files.
This will depend on how the photos are imported to your Mac.
For photos, that you import to your iPhoto library see Terence Devlin's excellent user tips:
iPhoto and File Management
How to Access Files in iPhoto
For downloaded files see Niel's answer, and for many other applications you are free to pick a folder in the finder to store the photos. The default folder, where most applications will look for photos is your Pictores fold run your Home folder.

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

Where should I store my files?

I just bought my first Mac, a Mac mini. I also have two pc's that I use less and less. I have been storing all of my videos, mp3's, etc. on a 1 tb NAS (dns-321). I was hoping to maintain that system, but it seems from my reading that some Mac programs, (iTunes, iPhoto) almost require the files to be on the Mac mini to work well. It seems I can't point iPhoto to look to my NAS for all of my photos. Is that generally true? I am having difficulties figuring out what where to store my files and then back them up properly. Plug the nas into the mini and then buy a time capsule to back up both? Put a 1tb extra drive in the mini, move all of my files to that and somehow use the nas as a backup device? Ugh! Thanks!

I'm not familiar with iPhoto so I can't help there.
But iTunes libraries don't have to reside on an internal
drive. I personally have all my iTunes library along
with my other multimedia material residing on a 2 TB USB
drive attached to an Airport Extreme Base Station (Apples
wireless router). I also have a second 2 TB drive attached
to it as well for backup.
Now I do know that some NAS drives can be problematic.
You can post in the iTunes forum for more direct help on that.
You may also post in the iPhoto forum as well.

Where to put my .flv files

I have the developer version of flash media server set up. I
also have a flash video file with the name p1f1.flv. What do I have
to do to view this video (streamed) in a browser? Can't find a
cookbook or tutorial explaining this.

You can't connect to FMS directly from the browser. You need
a flash movie (.swf) to make the connection and play the video.
It's in the docs.
FLV files go in the streams directory of your application
(also in the docs).

Savinf flash video as flv not fla?

im trying to save my flash video as a flv but when saving the
document i only get offered to save the file as a fla? can somone
please tell me why. dreamweaver wont let me insert a video if it is
not saved as aflv

No... if you want to maintain your vectors and your
actionscript, you need to export to .swf. FLV is a video format,
and nothing more. You can embed metadata in an flv that an .swf can
use in it's actionscript, but the flv alone can't do it.
Now, if you just want to turn a flash animation into an flv,
export the .fla to avi, and then transcode the avi to flv.

Flash Video Help FLV

I have a project for work where I have to create an online

The videos are uploaded to the server. What I want to do is
transform the videos from various formats into flv (flash video
format) similar to the way youtube does it.
Does anyone have any idea of how to do this and if there are
any free tools to transform the video to flv format before, during
or after upload. (during or after upload would be best)?

anyone have any idea how to do this?

How to write live video to .flv file

We have an application that sends a live stream to offices in
different locations. We'd like to capture that stream at the
receiving end and write it to an .flv file so those who couldn't
make the live broadcast can see the video on demand.
Can anyone point me to a link that describes how to capture a
live audio/video stream with AIR and write it to a local file store
on the receiving end? We want to store the files remotely rather
than using a central file store. I've seen how to write text files
but not .flv's.
Thanks for any direction you can provide.
Steve

There are two solutions here that I see, but one is probably more reasonable than the other. Without the use of a streaming media server, you can't really record video/audio. However, the FLV spec is open source and you can accomplish a "recording" by writing bitmap data bytes to a flv file (using the open source spec). This won't capture the audio though, and you can't do that without a streaming server. Also, if you're recording long videos, chances are the writing will either make your application unresponsive/crash it, or the saving time if you broke it down to manageble chuncks would take forever.
The second option, probably what you want, is a streaming server. Whether it be Red5, Wowza, FMS, etc, you'll be able to accomplish what you want, and it should be fairly easy. All be it much more expensive. For what you're describing though, recording live streams, it is probably the most likely approach.

Flash streaming external flv files

I have a web page which contains a flash object embeded in
it, this flash is streaming external flv files. The flash was being
displayed correctly when the website was hosted on a windows 2000
server but when the site was moved to a windows 2003 server the
flash is no longer displayed, instead of it a box with undefined
text inside it. I searched the Adobe support center and found this
Tech Note about adding the MIME Type through IIS since windows 2003
doesn't stream flv files. I followed the steps mentioned but still
am getting the undefined box
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19439&sliceId=2
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

This is the problem.
When Flash Player movie files that stream external FLV files
(Flash videos) are placed on a Microsoft Windows 2003 server and
then viewed in a browser, the SWF file plays correctly, but the FLV
video does not stream. These files work correctly if tested on
other operating systems. The issue affects all FLV files played via
Windows 2003 server
And can be solved by....
1. On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information
Services Manager.
2. Expand the Local Computer Server.
3. Right-click the local computer server and select
Properties.
4. Select the MIME Types tab.
5. Click New and enter the following information:
* Associated Extension box: .FLV
* MIME Type box:flv-application/octet-stream
6. Click OK.
7. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.

How to store a file path in a TDMS Property

I need to store some Windows paths to other files as TDMS properties, but (according to another forum post I now can't find), the following characters are all illegal in TDMS properties: . : , ; ' \ @ < > # [ ] % ( ) { } | * ? = ! "
Many of those are used in paths. I thought of converting each of them to its ASCII character code like an HTTP URL, but the '%' character is in the list, too. Can anyone recommend an approach to handling this situation?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I actually did something I almost never do. I searched DIAdems online help. I found a page on name conventions for properties on TDMS files which states the following:
"If you use one of the following characters in a custom property name, DIAdem replaces this character with an underscore: .,:, ,, ;, ', \, @, <, >, #, [, ], %, (, ), {, }, |, *, ?, =, !, ", ^, $, &, +, -, /, and a space. DIAdem also replaces a leading number in the property name with an underscore."
It however does not state anywhere that I've found that you can't use these symbols in a text as part of the property data.

Flash player/swf flv files behind members area not showing up

Hi-
I am having problems with my swf and flv files. I have tried both going through adobe and JW players. My specific problem is this: I am posting to a non-mobile me server and these flash files are going behind a ccbill members area that you can only get to by signing in as a member through a paying website using ccbill. I saw Bob's post on the 11th and tried deleting the extra / I saw in my html files as well.. but that did not work. The pages come up without the flv or swv files. Have tried both. Shows up fine in iweb but when published it's not there. No error messages. Not even a blank box. It's just not there.
Any advice? Been to Old Toad, Roddy McKay, iwebunlimited (Jason) and iwebfaq (Cédric), apple forums iweb sites. Cannot find anything specific to members area so any advice would be very helpful!

Just so you know the Terms of Use for MobileMe accounts states the following:
"*Limitations on Use*
You agree to use the Service only for purposes as permitted by these TOS and any applicable law, regulation, or generally accepted practice in the applicable jurisdiction. The Service is designed for personal individual use and is not intended to be used for commercial business purposes, including, but not limited to, transacting online sales or software distribution via an e-commerce site. "
The above is there to protect Apple in case of the server goes down or otherwise interrupts access to the sites and you lose income because of it.
MobileMe is not the best server to use for a commercial site. It's very slow and erratic in its performance. A commercial server, full service login type of password protection, i.e. each user has their own password and user name instead of one for everyone, etc., would be much more efficient and faster loading. Just some food for thought.
Besides, what type of card deck has 5 aces?

Where does ARD store temporary files / incomplete file transfer

I have ARD 3.2 I was wondering where ARD stores file transfers that are incomplete or aborted. If ARD shows a file transfer as 50% complete, but then the transfer is aborted, where does ARD store the incomplete transferred file. Thanks
