I'm trying to import a rather large .flv into my otherwise empty Flash file in Adobe Animate CC.
The .flv in question
Importing it (1)
Importing it (2)
After clicking Next and Finish, the video imports in about a second, very quickly for a huge video. The video appears on the stage much smaller than its actual size (160x120 pixels). The video itself looks nothing like what it's supposed to - in fact it looks like noise from a TV with bad reception.

I have Some sample fla Content which I am not able to convert into HTML5 with interactions
What I tried is
Google Swiffy --> Gives interactions [not full] but no sound. Issue is it works for content less than 1 MB
Toolkit for CreateJs --> Initially I got jsx errors but I cleared them by removing Special Characters in element names. But non of the case I got interactivity [Means I was not able to use my Mouse events or clicks
HTML5 Canvas in Flash Pro CC --> even here I got same above result.
Did I am missing something ??
You didn't really miss anything. Flash's HTML conversions do not convert AS3 to JS (that would be nice if it did). In this case you have to write the interaction using JS.
Sounds like you're using Google's online SWF-to-Swiffy converter, which has a 1MB limit. There's a better way, if you have Flash Pro CS5 or CS6 and the original FLA files. Try this:
download Google's swiffy generator and instal it in your Flash Pro (read instructions carefully)
open your FLAs and find the sounds that don't play in the swiffy file - most likely they are set as streaming sound (streaming audio is not supported by Swiffy), so change them to event sound
BUT, looped event sounds exported to Swiffy only play once (they don't loop), so if you need them, export the sound from the FLA (as .wav), and copy and paste it as many times as necessary in a new .wav file and re-import
All done? Now export from Flash Pro using Command -> Export as HTML5 (swiffy)
NB: Google's Swiffy extension for Flash Pro won't work with Creative Cloud, and on mobiles there'll be NO AUDIO whatever you do - sound only seems to work on desktop PCs, owing to mobile restrictions on unsolicited big-file preloads.
I'm working on a webiste for a client that, when finished, will have about 20 videos in the gallery section. I've already converted the videos tp mp4, ogg, and webm video types but I was wondering what is a reasonable file size for these different formats. I checked out this question "What is a reasonable file size for a 4 minute video on the web?" but I'm still not satisfied.
To convert I had .mov files. I opened them up in Windows Movie Maker, cut, mute, and took a snapshot of them. I then saved them all as .mp4s. Then I used Miro Video Converter to convert them all again to .mp4 which brought down the size a bit. I then converted the new mp4s to .ogg and webm.
Now, I ended up with final cuts like this:
mp4 files range from about 3MB to 30MB
ogg files are a little more sporadic. most of them range 10MB-30MB but then i have several that are around 70MB for some reason
webm files give me some concern. they came out to be about 2MB-10MB with some great quality. I almost feel like it's too good to be true...
Should I be worried about these file sizes? I did some calclations based on my internet speed which is 40Mbps. at that rate it should take about 11.6s to load a 70MB videos which is my largest video. Is this too long? I kinda feel like it is. Will the user be able to start playing the video before it loads. I'm going to be using HTML5 video tag with flash fallback by the way.
Oh, I forgot to mention. None of these videos are longer than 45 seconds. That's another thing. are the file sizes too big for how long the videos are?
To me the sizes you have mentioned seem ok, but you do have a lot of videos on the one page. You could inform the browser that you don't want the videos to be downloaded unless the user actually chooses to play them by using setting the preload attribute to "none" on the video tag.
If the videos are in a certain order, e.g. the most popular are at the beginning, then you could set preload="meta" on those ones, which tells that browser that you would like them to download the metadata only, so they might start to play quicker.
I recently took up a job creating a video ad banner to advertise on a major website, but they require that the swf uploaded is under 40kb in it's 'initial flash load'. This would be fine, except the video player itself is around 50kb, even though the actual video is loaded externally.
I've already optimised the ad as much as possible and got it to 86kb, so is there any way to reduce the file size further?
any images make sure they are compressed as much as possible while looking acceptable
textfields, dont embed all the font glyphs, embed only the characters you need
any embedded audios, make sure they are compressed
remove any libraries that are not used
remove the UIComponent flv player which adds a lot of space and create it with code, this will save a ton of code for you

I have to play video loop (2 second HD quality), and there is problem with playing video from the begining because method seek(0) always freeze Flash Player for a moment. There is now way to avoid this problem.
I have an idea, to play 2 netstreams in 2 separeted workers, but dont know how to share stage to do this ;[.
i have same problem.
i have embed the flv video in swf and play it in time line .
with embed vido you can loop it smoothly, this is a good solution in some cases.
(unconditionally embedding the video in swf have performance issue increased when ever your project become more complicated.
another issue is the swf file size become larger and larger
)
I created a video stream recording application that works fine except the recorded FLVs are corrupt a little bit. :) If I open an FLV in VLC player everything is green but getting "clean" when changes occur. And especially at the beginning of the video is breaking up. (I use Red5 1.0)
For pre-recorded streams, the keyframes are already encoded into the file and they cannot be changed. If you're serving a live stream, the keyframes need to be set in the application that is encoding the live stream (for example, Flash Media Live Encoder).
