flash video in new pop-up window

[reactorphil]

I've just upgraded to presenter 9. I've inserted a large video (~40 min) as an flv and want to enable the player controls. The video was a demonstration of a web application captured from a smart board. For clarity I have the video opening in a new pop-up window.

I used Flash Video MX, by Moyea, to encode the flv file and set it to show the player controls. However when I insert the flv file and publish the presentation the player controls don't appear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!

Wonder if this recent thread applies here also: Open SWF in new window?

I tried inserting the file as an embedded flv / web object, with the flv, swf and html file all in the presentation root folder and still receive the "i can't find it.." message. Inserting the flv file using "insert flash movie" and setting it to open a new window works great EXCEPT the player controls don't display.

The player controls display correctly when I insert the movie as a web object with the files hosted on my server. However, this is a secure server and requires a log in when the flv is accessed. This will work for most of my users but is not an ideal solution.

Hi reactorphil,

I don't have your file so don't know for sure if it will work but try importing the SWF file into Presenter using Articulate -> Flash Movie, and then manually placing the FLV file in the player folder after you have published..

Alternatively use Engage or Quizmaker embedded in Presenter to show controls for your video. This post shows how you could do that with Quizmaker '09.
