Can't Open .flv Files in Flash Player

I have Flash and Flash Player 9 on my Mac OS v.10.4.11. I
cannot open any .flv files with the player. Many are files that I
encoded with the Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder. When I double-click
on an .flv file, it opens the player, but no file. Same if I try to
open the file from within the player.
Anybody know what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

That is because you can't open FLV files.
You can import them into an FLA for playback. Or you can
publish a swf that dynamically loads the FLV and plays it back, but
you will need to either use a Playback component or use
Actionscript to do that.

  • How to open flv files in flash

    I want to open flv file in flash and edit. I couldnot import flv file in flash. please guide me.

    FLV is FLash Video.  You will want to use a program such as After Effects or Premiere Pro to edit video, not Flash Professional.

    I'm a real life novice to Flash and I need to convert short

    plays fine on another computer via its media player. I tried
    opening the FLV through my browser and through the Flash player but
    no luck there. Where do i go from here?

  • Can't open swf files with flash cc installed.

    There is no file association on windows 8 to open up swf files.

    You can download the standalone flash player for viewing it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.

  • I can't open anything that uses flash player in Firefox, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and no luck! but flash works fine on my seamonkey browser, can anyone please HELP me?

    None of the flash games will work on FF, I have even uninstalled FF and reinstalled it, I have disabled QuickTime, I have uninstalled Adobe flash and reinstalled it and still NOTHING! Flash works fine on Seamonkey though

    Check that plugin scanning is turned on (it should be by default). If it is turned off Firefox will not search the Windows registry for details of plugins that it can use.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''plugin.scan.plid.all''', if the value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change it to '''true'''
    If it was set to false, re-start Firefox to see if the Flash plugin is now available.
    Also make sure that you have installed the version of Flash used by Firefox. You should have it because SeaMonkey is using it, but if the Flash plugin is in SeaMonkey's own plugins folder Firefox may not be able to see it.
    Download the latest plugin from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_10.2_for_Windows_-_Other_Browsers and run it to install the version of Flash used by Firefox, this will install it in the default location so that Firefox should be able to find it.

  • I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

    I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

    Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
    Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
    To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
    Windows:
    Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
    Mac:
    Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

    You should be able to use very similar code - buy instead of
    pointing to the
    swf directly, it's likely you need to point, instead, to the
    html file that
    is usually published with the swf.
    Without seeing the exact code you are talking about with
    DemoShield, I'm
    reluctant to offer you any alternative. Simply put, a
    standard link pointing
    to the correct html file should work. You can get clever and
    use JavaScript
    if you have specific needs, but the standard HTML link should
    be fine for
    your needs.
    Oh - maybe you should look at Captivate's Manu builder, as
    perhaps this will
    offer what you are looking for.

  • I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens this one file.Ideas?

    I can't open one Quick Time movie file.  It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens on this one file.  All the others of a two hour shoot are fine. 
    Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it? 

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

  • I can't open video file in the page , i download and install flash many time but don't work , i use firefox 5 and windows 7

    i can't open video file in the page , i download and install flash many time but don't work , i use Firefox 5 and windows 7

    My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
    Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

  • How can I mask on flv file in flash cs4?

    Hi,
    I am new to Flash CS4. I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
    Load external video with playback component
    But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.
    Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline
    It seems the mask is not working with this option.
    How to solve this problem? Please help.
    Actually it should be like the above.
    But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.
