Flash Insertion Problem

Alright, so my problem is this:
I am trying to add a simple slide-show ---built in Flash--- to one of the pages on my site.  However, I am unable to see the content when I preview my site in DW, and furthermore, whenever I attempt to play the animation, while it is design view, DW completely crashes.  Although the slide-show does not play, whenever I preview the page, the Flash animation box flickers for a moment and disappears, and sometimes the site-default message will appear that I need Flash Player to view this content.  Ultimately,  am I mistaken, or is inserting a Flash object supposed to be a relatively easy task to perform.
To answer in advance, I am using the SWF file-type, and I also have the appropriate Flash scripts within DW.  Additionally, the animation works fine when I use the Flash HTML preview.  So, what am I doing wrong? Is this a software, site design, or simple code error?
Thanks
P.S. I recently downloaded CS5.5 and some of the other programs have been acting very unstable (e.g. Bridge and Extension Manager), which is what has me thinking it could be an error within Dreamweaver. 

It will be easier to help if you place the files on a server and provide a link.  One thing you should do is use the code that the Flash html page uses in the DW file rather than relying on DW to create the code, being sure to include any code relative to any supporting js file.
If the slideshow is loading images dynamically, meaning they are not stored in the swf file, then that could be another factor for which you might have to adjust the swf code.

  • Problems with flash insert

    Hi! I ran into a problem inserting flash site. When uploading files, leave a message, you need to install flash player, although Mozilla Firefox have the latest version of flash player.
    http://s57.radikal.ru/i157/1210/71/ff5035b653ee.jpg
    So now for inserting flash I use the old version of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. In this flash inserted without problems.
    http://monamour-dating.com
    Best Regards, Alexander

    I tried to insert Flash into the newest version of Dreamweaver CS6 (downloaded and installed yesterday). Now mozilla FireFox installed Flash Player 11 (in the screenshot). I do not see how to attach files here on the forum.

  • Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

    new user to mac.
    i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
    what's bugging me the most right now is
    i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
    rather than showing the content,
    a white box appears.
    when i right click on the white box,
    it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
    i can't click on the gray line.
    when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
    i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
    any insights on how to resolve this issue?
    cheers.

  • Update/Insert Problem with Oracle Warehouse Builder

    Hello,
    i have update/insert problem with owb.
    Situation: I have a source-table called s_account and a target table called w_account_d. In the target table are already data which was filled trough the source table inserts. Now anyone make changes on data on the target table. This changes should now give further on the source table with an update operation. But exactly here is the problem i can´t map back the data to source because that will create a loop.
    My idea was to set a trigger but i can´t find this component in owb or is anywhere hidden?
    Also i have already seen properties as CDC or conditonal loading in the property inspector of the table, but i have no idea how it works.
    Give it other possibilities to modeling this case? or can anyone me explain how i can implement this eventually with CDC?
    I look forward for your replies :)

    Hi
    thanks for your answer. I follow your suggestion and have set the constraints of both tables into the database directly.Nevertheless it doesn´t work to begin. In the next step i found by right click on a table the listpoint "configure" - I goes to "unique key" --> creation method and set here follow options: Constraint State = ENABLE, Constraint Validation = Validate. That error message that appears before by the deployment disappears yet. Now i start the job to test if the insert/update process works right. Finally it seems to work - but not really.
    My Testscenario
    1. Load the data from source table about the staging area to data warehouse table: Check - it works!
    2. Change one data record in source table
    3. Load the source table with changed data record once again to staging area: Check - it works!
    4. Load new staging area table with the changed data record to data warehouse table: Check it works! BUT, BUT i can not recognize if it is insert or update operation, then under the design window by jobs execution windows is reported "rows selected 98", Rows inserted" is empty and "rows updated" is empty. So i think works not correct, then my opinion if it works correct it should show be "rows updated" 1.
    What can yet now still be wrong or forgotten? Any ideas?
    *By the way think not 98 rows there is not important if you make an update or insert which performance. It is an example table the right tables have million of records.*
    I look forward for your answers :)

  • CRUD insert problems.

    Hello all,
    I was wondering about DB operations in JSF pages, so I took a look over the Single Page CRUD example. What hitted me was there is a need for a two step insertion, first by issuing a select in search for the biggest ID of the primary key, and after that the insertion of the element with that obtained biggest ID + 1. I see at least 2 problems with this approach:
    1. Concurrency issues.What happends if 2 users are issuing at the same time an insert operation over the same table? There is the possiblity of getting the same ID to insert, and the first one could insert, but the second one would fail even if it's request is logically corect (validated & converted). I see three solutions over the insert problem:
    a. lock on the database (if it's possible).
    b. using a synchronized block in the application bean to get the ID and insert.
    c. using DB specific constructs (e.g. MySQL's AUTO_INCREMENT)
    2. Overhead issues. Why doing in two steps an operation that should be just an insert? Previous a. an b. approaches do not solve our overhead problem, because we still have two steps in insertion; we only synchronize them.
    I was wondering which is the best practice for production quality web applications. Personally because I've picked MySQL as DB I've used AUTO_INCREMENT, but the immediate huge and obvious drawback is dumping DataProvider's capability of changing the storage medium at a glance.

    I'm not sure if I entirely understood your questions here.
    - Concurrency problem.
    database bound Data provider underneath uses CachedRowset, which uses SyncProvider to take care of concurrency problem. If the default RIOptimisticProvider is not enough, it possible to register other more sophisticated SyncProvider.
    You can read about it here.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/sql/rowset/CachedRowSet.html
    - Overhead issue
    I believe, it is possible to let the DB auto increment the primary key field, and left it out in the insertion from data provider.

  • Strange flashing cursor problem

    Hi,
    I've just finished installing Vista 32bit on my Macbook Air (1.6) and its working fine apart from one small problem - when starting up it freezes on a black screen with a flashing cursor for 2-4 mins and then will start loading Vista fine. Once in there is no problem and its stable and what not. I have had a look at some on the articles on here and other forums and the flashing cursor problem usually refers to when people try to first install a MS OS and not once one has been installed successfully.
    I only have to boot into Vista every now and then and only for a few minutes at a time so I usually spend as much time in Vista as it does loading.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

    pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

    Problem is:
    Flash Player for IE11 (which is the worst browser ever developed - BAR NONE) is a Microsoft product, when it comes right down to it.
    Adobe writes the base code and yes, they do collaborate on updates for it, but the gang in Redmond alter the plug-in and add "proprietary" code before embedding it, and at that point it's "their baby".
    There are two (2) registry keys - 1 for 32 bit IE and the other for 64 bit IE, as well as a KB patch that prevent all but the most experienced Windows users from ever touching the Flash Player plug-in for IE. So there's NO WAY you could have done a clean install of the ActiveX plug-in in Windows 8. Unless you're an uber-geek, you can only update it through Windows Update.
    WIn 8 is an abomination and IE11 made it worse. IE has always been the "problem child" of browsers, failing to handle CSS, Javascript, some PHP and most design "tweaks" that good webmasters can use with other browsers, trouble free.
    I have IE8 on XP, 9 on VIsta, 11 on 7, 10 on 8 and 11 on 8.1... but they're all for testing only. I'd have to be out of my mind to ever think of using IE as my primary browser. ActiveX controls have to be disabled formost stuff and that opens millions of security holes in IE.
    You've got a good video card and a decent sound card. It's a shame to waste them on a pile of garbage like IE, just because it came with Windows.

  • When did these flash player problems begin?

    So, I had a computer running Win98 and IE6, which worked
    great until Flash Player 8 autodownloaded about 4 months ago,
    causing the beginning of an extreme headache. Several
    communications with Adobe support (they eventually stopped
    responding) over several weeks went nowhere None of the fixes
    suggested by them, nor the ones here worked. Countless manhours led
    me to think it was time to bite the bullet, buy a new computer. So,
    as of two months ago I have a new computer running XP and IE6 with
    SP2. I didn't know it until today, when I started having crashes,
    but I have Flash Player 7.0.19.0. When i go to Adobe's Test page,
    both Shockwave and Player windows show the animations (and no
    crash).
    On certain pages, which I believe have flash content, I get
    the "IE has experienced a problem and must close" message. It
    specifically mentions the flash.ocx file as the offender. It is
    repeatable when visiting certain pages.
    So, before I jump into the abyss of attempting to fix this, I
    am wondering when these types of problems began. I have been using
    Windows and IE since 1998 with no trouble until this year. I hoped
    moving to a new computer would solve my Flash compatibility
    problems. Could the root problem be new types of spyware, etc that
    change something in the registry? Some of the fixes suggested by
    Adobe were regarding keys changed in the registry. Unfortunately
    those fixes didn't work (in Win98).
    Finally, does anyone know if attempting to fix flash player
    under XP is any easier than 98? Also, I will admit I may have
    visited some sites recently that downloaded some adware, etc. Any
    suggestions on cleaning that may solve the flash player problem? I
    know this post is all over the map - I don't know where to begin...
    Thanks in advance, Don

    Hi
    Which browser is giving you the error? Is it IE11?
    Are you saying when you go to Adobe's website and download flash player it gives you an error?

  • [help] Flash cache problem?

    Operating Environment: IIS6+ASP.Net 2.0+Flash
    Framework / Procedure:
    When running, Flash will run ASP.NET program. ASP.NET then
    extracts data from the database and generates a XML file for Flash.
    Flash reads the XML file and parse it into a readable format
    for the users.
    Problem:
    When Flash displays the XML content and user leaves/exits the
    webpage, this process creates a change in the database.
    Then if this Flash function is executed again, ASP.NET
    generates a new XML file, but Flash still displays the old XML
    content.
    We discovered that when IE's "Temorary Internet Files"
    setting is set to AUTO, the above problem would occure, we suspect
    this is related to IE cache.
    Is there any way to resolve this Flash cache problem?

    Did you try returning the XML via an ASP script?
    In other words have the ASP generate an ASP wrapper that
    returns XML.
    Then if necessary, you can then add a random URL var to the
    Flash XML load url variable. "theXMLWrapper.asx?x=" +

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Flash insert is garbage

    Dreamweaver CS4 is a disaster! It makes my 10x work more difficult. And it doesn't even get the job done.
    Examples:
    Can't preview my work in internet explorer. Instead, there some bogus, non-functioning, jump through 10 hoops extension called BrowserLabs - that flat out doesn't work.
    It's even worse for Flash video. Can't just click and preview it anymore, in ANY browser. Instead you have to upload it to your server or create a "test server" - and Mensa member, UC Berkley grad that I am - I can not figure out how to do that based on the lame instructinos from Adobe.
    Beyond that, the Flash insert in CS4 has totally lost the ability to re-size the actual video content - instead you get a black box around the video.
    And you are no longer able to pull video in from anoher site by referenceing the full URL.
    I bought Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things thaqt don't work.
    I've been working with computers for a long time. And CS4 is THE WORST upgrade I've ever experienced.
    Attention Adobe - what are you going to do about all this? I want to go back to CS3!

    "I bought  Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And  I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things that don't  work."
    How typical.
    Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I can't wait to do all sorts of great things with it!"
    Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I can't wait to do all sorts of  great things with it!"
    PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it's going to  do all sorts of things for me!"
    or the opposite:
    PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it won't do anything for me!"
    Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
    Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
    Dreamweaver is WYSIWYG software. What You See Is What You Get... It's not a cure-all, do-all, write-all, upload-and-test-all fix for people who want to be webmasters without any knowledge or effort on their part. There's a solution for that... hire someone to build your site(s) for you.
    If you're adamant about not learning code, you're in the wrong  business (or even hobby).
    It's like saying, "I want to commute across town, but I'll be damned if I'm going to learn to drive!"
    I've been doing this since 2004 and I'm still in school learning new technologies and practices.
    I'll climb down off my soapbox now.
    Edit: For the record, I built and inserted two flash animations last night. First one here, second one here.Neither of them took more than three clicks to add, and I fully tested each of them in no less than eleven browsers (Firefox, IE8, Opera, Safari, Netscape, AOL, iCab, OmniWeb, Camino, SeaMonkey, Chrome), offline, before uploading the index pages.

  • NEWBIE: Inserting FLASH. Problem:(

    Greetings. I was wondering if anyone could steer me in the
    right direction. I inserted a flash file (swf) into a dreamweaver
    page. I then previewed the page and the Flash piece played fine.
    I then put the html page on my server, and put the flash file
    in my images folder (also tried putting it in it's own folder &
    with the html pages) but when I try and view the page containing
    the Flash piece it never loads, I just get a big white box where
    the piece should be.
    I'm just trying to find out what I'm doing wrong. I've done
    the same thing with Flash banners I've created and had no problems
    (granted they were smaller than the file in question)
    Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
    ACE:)

    If you inserted the file using DW8.02 then you also need to
    load the scripts
    folder to the server

  • Insert flash video problem

    Hi all,
    I know this question has been asked before, but I've tried
    all the solutions offered and none worked.
    I am using the command "Insert -->Flash Video" to insert a
    video on a web page (using DW8). Plays locally, but not after
    upload. Scripts folder and both the skin and
    FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf file are uploaded to the appropriate
    places. I've tried on multiple computers and in multiple browsers
    and can't figure why it won't work.
    Here it is on a
    test page. Should play in box and flv file is only a little
    over 1MB.
    Any suggestions would be very appreciated. I'm ready to pull
    my hair out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Guessing here but, is there supposed to be a blabla .flv file
    on the server
    or in your code?
