looping issue with flash file

[snooper]

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>

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

Thanks Jacob
the file is at 64.187.100.103/nerCD_001.swf with the flv at 64.187.100.103/nerCD_001.flv

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!

[JacobHaug]

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

Hope this helps!!

[snooper]

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!

[JacobHaug]

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

[snooper]

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

[JacobHaug]

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