Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player...What??

Hi,
I have a really enoying problem here, please help me out!
I have built my personal webpage in Flash CS3/AS3. I did some updates today, changed some pictures and stuff. Now when I upload and replace the previous *.swf on the server, and try to load my webpage my browser displays the folowing message:
Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
I tried exporting with Flas Player 8, and checked it using different bowsers too (curenntly I use the latest version of Firefox), but I get the same error when trying to relode my site. I have no more ideas what to do.
Please help....
Regards

I have been used to this issue for a while now so I take it for granted with the solution.
It seems Dreamweaver has issues with absolute paths when it comes to displaying SWF files correctly.
It would seem that the logical workflow would be to open the  File tab and drag the SWF file into place.
Doing this works if you test the SWF file directly in Dreamweaver by clicking on the Play button when the SWF file is active.
But if you view it in a browser using the Web URL you will get: Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
This plagued me for ages as I ended up installing and reinstalling Flash Player until I realised this was happening on all Computers that I tested the page on.
If you drag the SWF file onto the page, in Code View you will see in two locations in the generated code: data="file:///C|/path/swffile.swf"
Noe the strange | character after C ?
This needs to be changed to the relative path data="path/swffile.swf"
It will then work in the Browser without the error message
If you go: Insert / Media / SWF and choose the SWF file, it will add it correctly.
It only seems to happen when you drag the SWF into the page.
Hope this helps.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

    I'm working with the CS4 Design Premium Suite.  I've done all the updates. I've followed all the steps in the training.
    I've used the adobe media encoder to create FLV file from a windows media clip.
    Then on a simple new html page. saved to a brand new local folder I try to insert my conent:
    I  use  menu command "Insert _ Media _ FLV"  I browse to the file,  I insert & save the page
    I can see a place holder in design view but if I go to live view I see the message"Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player."
    If I preview to a browser I get the same thing,
    If I go to the local folder and access the page directly I get the same thing.
    I alse created simple SWF file in Flash CS4.  Saved in the root folder.
    I use the menu command "Insert _ Media _ SWF"  I see a place holder.
    Save it, save all the files.
    Same thing. Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
    I read online where others are having this issue, someone one said "Why are you using "swfobject_modified?"  "Try swfobject.modified"
    tried with no visble change.
    I thought that flash & dreamweaver are supposed to be fully intergrated?
    Why are these seemingly simple operations causing me so much grief?
    I'm days behind in my training & on my project due to this problem.   Any help anyone could offer would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • FLV works in preview but "content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player"

    I used Media Encoder CS5 to create a FLV file from an AVI file. The video plays correctly in preview (both IE and FF). After I uploaded the page, video, and the script folder (includes expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js), the web page shows "the content of this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player" (in FF. IE just show a partially completed download status bar). I am already at version  10 but I download and installed the player without any success. I am new to web site maintenance so any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    you have faulty swf embed code.  i don't know anything about the modified swfobject embedding except it causes problems and has no benefit known to me.

  • Android: This app requires a newer version of Adobe AIR - update now?

    Trying to run an app on the Emulator for Android:
    and I get this message.
    This app requires a newer version of Adobe AIR - update Adobe AIR now?
    of course when I do click on the Update button - nothing happens, it just goes back to the main screen of the Emulator.
    How do I update it. I now know how to install Adobe AIR runtime into the Emulator, but I can't find how one updates it?
    I only installed "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219" a few days ago...

    Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
    You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
    Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash.

  • The new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 does not display images in the flash movie.

    In the new version  of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 the images are not displayed. In previous versions they are displayed. Tested on several computers. This is not a local problem. This is a problem of Adobe. The bad news is that the early versions are very hard to find and reinstall it.
    Many different systems tested. And all browsers.
    Now there is no big image.

    hi i have noticed the same problem. also with Chrome and FP ver 11.5.31.2and Firefox and Safari with FP 11.5.502.110
    it seems that MovieClipLoader class not returning onLoadInit event. I use to add a fadein function on loadInit to fade in the loaded images. with the latest Flash PLayer versions this is not activated so you cannot see the loaded images.
    I have tested this on 3 different systems and the problem is the same. I have not updated my FP for IE. There, the older FP still works well.

    Mac OS LionSafari and FP 11.5.502.110 --- DOES NOT WORK WELL

    I recently installed Mac OS X and got a problem. I cannot update the new version of adobe flash player. It stopped at “initializing step” (as see in the image). Can anyone please help me fix it? Thank you very much!

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

    I finally figured it out. Flash Player had not installed. I had to de-activate Active-X thru the safety tab on the menu bar and then download the Adobe Flash Player and now it's working. I re-activated Active X after I finished installing Flash,. Hope fully everything will keep working fine!
