I need to make myself walk in front of my Flash website. All I have is a movie with a white background. Does anyone know the process? Using Flash 8.
Working on the assumption that both movies are flash, Amarghosh is correct the best way would be to load the movie of yourself over the top of the existing movie.
So you would do this inside your flash environment as opposed to using css.
Are you talking about alpha encoding the video? You can use the Flash Media Encoder to turn that white background into a transparent background and then load that video (I'm assuming you have a video of yourself walking onto a white background?) over your swf to get the effect you're looking for.
The encoder should come with your install of Flash 8.

I'm working on a website and i use a wordpress plug-in that embeds youtube videos.
Now it has this great option to show only an image of the video and load the video only if you press the video so the page won't take a lot of time to load.
The problem is that in that mode it takes that video photo from youtube and it also takes a big, red, play button image that is ugly as hell :)
Now that button's css is coming from some external link (http://s.ytimg.com/yts/cssbin/www-embed-vflSBO3VV.css) and i don't know how to over ride it.
Any suggestions?
That is the site i'm working on btw - http://www.lab.gezerweb.com/ClipPress/
Thanks.
I believe you're talking about an embed that uses controls=2, correct? (See https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#controls)
If so, then no, there's no way to override the default play button in the cued state.
I have a track on my website which utilizes the soundcloud HTML5 player. I was wondering if there is any way I can make it a little quieter that way it doesn't shock the viewer upon opening my page. If anyone could lead me in the right direction as to how to alter the players volume on soundcloud it would be much appreciated :D
I know it has something to do with javascript: setVolume(volume) but I'm not familiar with JavaScript so if someone could help me out that'd be great. I want the volume to be at 50%.
If need be, i could also use the flash player.
I'm fine with using either HTML5 or flash player, I just want the volume to be set at 50% when someone plays it.
You can do this by using the Widget API
Basically, the widget is embedded into your page with an iframe. Give the iframe an id, include the API library (linked above) and then it's really simple.
SC.Widget('myIframeId').setVolume(50);
I'm making a website for a piano player, and I'm using the yahoo media player to play a short playlist of his music in the background while navigating the site. I've been looking for a way to reposition the player on the page, but I wasn't able to come up with any easy way of doing this. Does anyone know of a practical means of doing so?
I am Trying to Apply some information Like text and An Image as an overlay to create a overlay effect as lice a security camera with time and date on the video along with a png based Logo.
I can record VIDEO Using Flex and FMS or any other Media Server. But I want to save a modified version of the stream being uploaded.
Use camTwist (mac) or webcammax (pc) as your video input...you can use that program to use the webcam and then add whatever over it (text, date). Use Flash Media Live Encoder and select camTwist as your video source. Stream and save your recordings using that FMLE.
Sorenson Squeeze is pretty awesome for this and is cross platform. Camtwist is cool but it's not really a 'pro' app, that makes me sound way snobbish. It's actually pretty fun and a good suggestion for a simple result but I haven't found anything better than Sorenson Squeeze for the features and control it gives you.
I need to display a small (15x15 pixel) animation in a Flex app. I have it FLV format, but it could be converted to somthing else. I'd prefer to have the file embedded in the app (it's only 8k in size). I've seen posts about displaying animated GIFs using third-party code which would be OK, but is there a way to do this with the native Flex libs. I also realize that FLVs can be displayed in Video objects but only if they are external files.
It is a lot easier converting it into a SWF and displaying it in an Image control. SWFTools can convert animated GIF into SWF file, small enough to be embedded in your app.
Or alternatively you could convert it into a good old animated GIF file and use this package to embed and play it back:

I guess you have a blank frame in SWF either in the beginning or the end.
