The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

FLV file created in Flash 8 will not display or play when inserted in Dreamweaver 8 web page

Asked by yic01 in Adobe Dreamweaver

Tags: flv, dreamweaver

I created an FLV file (option+3.flv) in Flash 8 from the file option+3.wmv. In so doing Flash 8 inserted an instance of FLVPlayer on the stage of the file press.fla.  The content path of the FLVPlayer instance is simply option+3.flv.

I published the file so I have in the same folder / directory the following files:
option+3.wmv
option+3.flv
press.swf
press.fla

I copied all files except press.fla to the appropriate web site's root directory in Dremweaver 8.

In Dreamweaver I used the Insert > Media > Flash Video... command to insert the FLV file in the web page.  I chose Progressive Download, the URL is simply the name of the FLV file (option+3.flv) and I selected autoplay and the download Flash Player prompt.

This is the object code that was created by Dreamweaver:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="320" height="240" id="FLVPlayer">
  <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
  <param name="salign" value="lt" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
  <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=option+3&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false" />
  <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=option+3&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="320" height="240" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

My Browser is Internet Explorer.

Problem:  I am unable to see the video even though all the files, including FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf all reside in the same directory.

If I change the code so that movie "value" = press.swf instead of the FLVPlayer I can see it.

The problem is the same if I upload to the web server.  

What have I done wrong?  I have done this over and over and I am unable to get it to work.  The hosting server is Unix BTW not Windows.

Thanks.
