I am unable to get embedded video working in the HTML wrapper, whereas it works fine in the SWF file itself. The video plays instantly when opening the SWF, but when I open the HTML only the video player skin shows and no actual video, almost as if it can't find the video file.
Here is the exact process I went through to get to this point:
Starting from a blank ActionScript 3 document, I import a video and select the "Load external video with playback component" option. The video file is in the same directory as the project file, and the video file is referred to in FLVPlayback source as 'movie.flv'. From here I publish the project to SWF and also with a HTML wrapper. Upon opening the .SWF the video plays, however when I open the .HTML no video plays, although the video player skin shows up.
I have tried several different methods of getting this video to work, I have tried embedding the video solely with ActionScript, but the results are the same.
Is it possible to have the video load both in the .SWF and in the .HTML? The .SWF itself loads, but the video embedded in the .SWF does not. I have also tried using .mp4 files but have the same results. This is for a school project, so I am limited to using ActionScript, and the final project must be published to HTML/SWF/EXE.

I am trying to add an audio player to my Wix website. I want the audio player to play different files that can change dynamically by changing the url of the audio file.
There are a number of audio players that I could potentially use: https://freefrontend.com/css-music-players/
I am just not sure how to include them.
Which code needs to be included in the HTML iframe in Wix?
Which code needs to be added in the developer console or as a function?
Which files needs to be stored and can I store them on github?
An example of how to do it will really be appreciated.
I have a code containing real media player video and audio files. (.rm and .ram). They are not working in browsers. Can you please suggest a solution. The code contains an embed tag which has a .rpm file in src. The .rpm file contains path to a .smi file which contains the .rm video and audio files to be played on clicking a button in browser. But this is not working as it should.
Thanks.
Convert the RealMedia files to a modern format, such as MP3 for audio files, or MPEG4 for video files.
RealMedia has been effectively obsolete for the last five to ten years (depending on how you define "obsolete"), and is no longer playable in any modern web browser.
I'm creating a flash game that includes two characters. One that is dynamically loaded from a url and the other that's already present on stage. Both characters load up just fine when testing within flash professional but when testing on a browser or opening the swf file itself, neither character loads.
I've already set my playback security settings to "network access only" as suggested in this question: Flash not working in browser but works fine on computer and it still isn't working.
Both images are strips that show the complete character's animation in one picture itself and through the use of masks and code, I'm able to depict each frame of animation.
Here's the file itself if you need to check it out for yourself.

I have an .swf file which loads several external MP3s, I want to make a preloader with an animated progress bar to ensure all of the Mp3s are loaded before the user can interact with the timeline. I have seen some people embed the MP3s in the flash file and then preload that .swf into another loader .swf.
I dont want to embed the MP3s, but would consider using a lader movie to load the main movie, will this method still work with external mp3s?
I have used AS3
A loaded SWF will maintain it's AS3 code no matter if it's from the document class, on timeline or both.
If you have a Main SWF that loads an External SWF and External SWF is loading an MP3 file there is no problem with it what so ever.
Be careful with the loading security standards and the External SWFs loading sequence. Since it's a loaded SWF it will not have access to stage instantly (even in document class), in stead it will get it after it is added to stage (use ADDED_TO_STAGE event listener). It shouldn't be a problem if you're frame-scripting.
You might want to make a method in the External SWF that starts loading the MP3.
I have been trying to make my own customized video player for a website, but i don't really get how you are supposed to do. I've watched video's on youtube how you make your own flash player, but they embed the video in it in flash and there must be another way, like creating the player design, then having a html tag telling the video path and stuff. I've seen other video sites like movpod (i use it to watch stuff like the simpsons :p). They have an object tag in their site with the .swf player (design), but if i go to that file, it only shows up the design of the player, not the actual video. They are then using param tags to define the path to the video in the page. My question is, how do you make the player design, without importing a video in like flash cs5 or something, using said said object tag to the design, and params to define what actual video you want to watch.
The params passed are usually FlashVars. It's basically a Parameter in the object or embed tag defining some variables you can access in Flash, i.e. the adress of the video to play. See http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/flashVars/index.html example 1
In Flash then you read the address to the video and load it, i.e. using a FLVPlayback object.
