SWF - video viewing problems - help!

Question

I have used an swf (flash) file to do video on our website before. I'm trying again and it works fine in dreamweaver and when I check it in internet explorer. Once I upload it no video. I've been trying different combinations of things for 3 days. I'm desperate for some help.

Can you post your code or direct me to the site so I can take a look?

Here's a question...can you click on your SWF file in Windows Explorer and view the video correctly?

With those nesting errors, I'm suprised the page showed properly at all.

Here is the corrected code:

I have video in dreamweaver

Not sure if this is pertinent -
Dreamweaver asked to update code for IE 6. It added all the code for flash viewing a second time. In the above code, I deleted it and the video seems to work. Still with no controls, but it works.

Someone here had the idea to add a Low Res option. I did the same thing (Code Below) and no video, including deleting the extra IE 6 code. I'm losing my mind. How can you follow the same steps and get different results?

yes I can view it in Explorer when I bring it in through dreamweaver on the html page, when I click on it in DW it also plays fine as a SWF by itself.

The deleted "updated Explorer" code seems to have solved the video problem in one window but not another...

working (without the controller? how'd I lose that between Flash and DW?). http://www.imm.edu/trailers_fldr/collegevideo.html

not working: http://www.imm.edu/trailers_fldr/collegevideoLOW.html

denise@imm 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 4 · 2006-09-11T21:17:46+00:00

I need to learn about these nesting errors...

I used your code directly and I'm getting a weird page still. It works in dreamweaver and on my machine again - but when I upload it.
Take a look: http://www.imm.edu/trailers_fldr/collegevideoLOW.html

Any ideas?

I havent reloaded my other browsers yet...but it looked just fine in IE6

denise@imm 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 6 · 2006-09-12T15:45:05+00:00

The video plays for you?

(The page looks fine, the video still won't play is what I'm seeing.)

FC Jamison 31 Posting Pro in Training Team Colleague · Answer 7 · 2006-09-13T01:17:22+00:00

No...I don't see the video.

I looked at your code and downloaded the swf file, but still couldn't get it to play...so you might want to upload the video again.

It was only 102kb...so my guess is that there is nothing to play.

denise@imm 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 8 · 2006-09-20T20:01:09+00:00

I ended up encoding the video again but in Flash Encoder not just flash.

Also had to save the flv and swf in the same file with my html file(didn't work with it in resources or assets) with the control component on the website for my controls to be viewable.

Updated the path content to the final URL destination in the content path window inside the flash file before PUBLISHING the file, not exporting it. (Both create an swf file).

Upload all this with the ftp, insert swf in dreamweaver, take out the first no script tag in dreamweaver. Then it worked.

SWF - video viewing problems - help!
