looping issue with flash file

snooper · #1 Nov 9th, 2006, 12:01

hey folks

a client gave me a wmv file which i have converted to swf using Sorenson (it also produced a flv from the conversion).
I am inserting it into Dreamweaver, and the file doesnt seem to be looking.

Can someone pls take a look at the code, and see if i have missed something?

Thanks!
Sn

PS: the red text i entered manually after the checkbox 'loop' on the properties didnt seem to work.

Code: Select all

 
  <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','306','height','360','loop','true','title','ggg','src','nerCD_001','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','nerCD_001' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=7,0,19,0" width="306" height="360" title="ggg">
    <param name="movie" value="nerCD_001.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="loop" value="true" />
    <embed src="nerCD_001.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="306" height="360" loop="true"></embed>
  </object></noscript>

Upload the swf file somewhere, I will see what is wrong with it.

Thanks Jacob

How are you going to embed this within your page? If you are going to be using an flv player of some sort, you could enable a loop within the player, I am not really sure why this video fails to loop, except for, when you converted it they put a stop action in the last frame because that was the end of the movie. I would try embedding it within a player, and telling the player to loop it. I will check and see wither this works when I get home today, if it works I will post up a working sample.

Thanks for checking this out, for some reason i didnt get notification about your reply, so i am only seeing this now.

I am not really playing this in a player at all, it will just be a design feature with the candle burning in a loop.

Is there anything you can suggest?

Thanks again!

Its ok, I forgot about posting up the sample I promised. I would try a player like this...video player

Hope this helps!!

Thanks Jacob.
I would rather not use the player - as its supposed to be a simple design element.
is that anyway you know of to replace this stop command at the end with a loop one?

thanks again!

Well, how are you planning to play it? Are you planning to play the file embedded into you web browser as a swf?

snooper · #9 Nov 19th, 2006, 21:27

yes, just embed the active content.

what i have done (this is a real long work around - opened the swf in Flash decompiler, saved as FLA, edited the action scripts, and exported again to swf... a lot of work, but seems to work.

in the meantime, i have also found the seeing in Sorenson for looping

thanks again for all the help

Yeah, that is the only way I know of as well, if you don't mind me asking, what swf decompiler are you using?
