Movie Embed Plays Intermittently - 7/23/2007 17:41:22
OK...
I used Dreamweaver MX 2004 to imbed a flash movie in a page I designed. It's in a layer; & the code is as follows:
<div id="Layer3" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:100px; width:320px; height:240px; z-index:3"> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="320" height="240"> <param name="movie" value="Moon.Wav_MusicMedia.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <embed src="Moon.Wav_MusicMedia.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="240"></embed> </object></div>
When I go to the page (which is still under construction)...the movie starts after a pause & then plays intermittently (plays for a bit; & then stops...then plays...then stops, & so on.)
Check it out (& see if it does the same for the members here):

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

File is not compressed enough. It stops to allow data to download to your computer and then it plays. and so on.
Maybe the experts here will explain how to compress your file more.

How are you making the flash movie file? I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder to convert a bunch of .WMV files over to .FLV. I've encoded them all at 400kbs as a test. I think I'll drop it down a bit but at least with 400kbs I've never had any problems with my videos playing properly through progressive download.
With Dreamweaver CS3, the code it generates to embed a Flash file is:
<noscript>
<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="342" height="291" 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=Halo_Skin_3&streamName=../Videos/Tape0_Overview&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
<embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Halo_Skin_3&streamName=../Videos/Tape0_Overview&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="342" height="291" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" />
</object>
</noscript>
Of course in DW CS3, you have to upload the skin file, the progressive download file, and a scripts folder that it creates automatically. Try re-encoding your video at a lower rate. If the quality of the original file is good, you can get away with 250-400kbs without too much loss.

I suspect the issue is an encoding issue and compression as stated above. Editors tend not to want to compress. To have better frame by frame playback over the web you need to compress a lot which actually effects what and how you shoot for the web.
Some editors convert directly to FLV. that is one less compression step.
The .wav or .avi should not be on the site at all or linked to at all.
