Flash movie not showing up in IE8

Hi,
I have a flash movie on a login page that shows up fine in every browser apart from IE8 (surprise surprise!), where I just see a red cross in a square. You can see what I mean if you look at the page in IE:
http://monthlymixup.com/index.php
Here is the relevant code:
The movie was created in Flash 10 with ActionScript 3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why it is isn't working in IE?
Thanks,
Nick

OK, here's the problem. From the time the .swf file starts to download until it is completely downloaded is the flicker time.
So the browser draws the container, puts the little x inside until the entire .swf is downloaded.
I verified that by deleting my Temp Internet files cache and while opening the page, monitored the download via ZoneAlarm firewall indicator lights. The empty container is displayed when the download starts, and the .swf is not displayed until the download is complete.
So to resolve... incorporate a preloader into the .swf or use swfobject.js and provide an alternate image that gets downloaded/displayed first while the .swf is downloaded.

swfobject is also an excellant way to enhance SEO of Flash content.
Best wishes,

Fullscreen Flash movie not showing up on Mac

My flash movie is set to 100% width and height and it is
working fine on my PC on IE 6,7, FF 2, Safari 3, and Opera, but on
my Mac, the movie will not show up unless I change the 100% values
to actual height and width values. Does anyone have any thoughts
here?

Thanks!

try adding this in your <head> tags.. change the width
and height properties to match your documents width and height.
<style type="text/css">
#home-content{
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1000px;
height: 800px;

Flash movie not showing in IE

On the home page of one of my sites, I have included a small
Flash movie which displays (almost0 perfectly in Firefox, but just
appears as a small white box in IE (it's over on the right side of
the page). Any ideas?
Also, the motion of the movie is a bit "jerky" and not as
smooth as expected. Is this a known problem?

For your IE problem see
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_4150&sliceId=2
The smoothness of a flash movie is dependent on the number of
frames per minute you have set. Generally, more frames per minute =
smoother movement.

FLASH MOVIE NOT SHOWING

I have a Flash movie on a Dreamweaver page. I'm assuming it's
the only way to publish a FLASH site. I'm not a coder by any means
and am having diffuculty with this. The page loads without the
movie.
I have uploaded the html page as index.html. I have also
uploaded the AC_RunActiveContent.js page.
My code is the following:
<script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','

Is there something I'm doing wrong and a fairly simple way to
fix it? I have 3 sites I have to upload, all FLASH. Will I be
running into this problem each time?
I'd appreciate any and all help, THANK YOU!

Please post a link to your page as it may be that what you
think are the correct locations amy not be. One quick note, it
appears that there is a title tag and a style tag in the middle of
the code. Did you perhaps add your flash to into the head tag of
your document rather than within the body tag?

Flash movie not showing thumbnail string

Hi
I have redesigned my site from a flashmo template and all is fine except for my thumbnail string not loading/showing in any browsers or even in my dreamweaver & flash previews.
my site is www.decorvine.com - if you press on the 'decor' button you'll see the place where the thumbnails should be coming up and loading - but all it shows is a permanent loading sign on the first thumbnail and nothing else. It isn't even loading.
If someone could possibly help me I would really appreciate it.
Sincerely
Gail

Thank everyone who helped - I figured it out by accident - it was the size of the thumbnail exceeding the limit, i changed the photos i wanted to the size of the original ones which were in the template and now it works. I'll upload later and you guys can see - if you r interested.
Hope this thread helps someone else too.
OMG this flash can be very very frustrating.
Thanks for the patience all.

Images from Flash Movie Not Showing Up

I have a Flash 'slideshow' that cycles through 4 images. It
has been on one of my sites for over a year now. Today I changed
from a Windows host to a Linux host (same company) and now the
images don't show up. The text that goes over the images cycles
normally, but the pictures aren't there. I did upload the pictures
the swf calls.
If I launch the swf locally, it works great. Online, no joy.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Brady

Sorry I didn't see this earlier... because that was my first

That is just one more sucky thing about Windows (servers or
not)... case

SWF animation is not showing up in IE8

I have test page : http://drupal-windwater/windWaterWidget
With two flash banners which are clickable . On click they open bigger window with additional swf animation inside. In any case, neither small or expanded animation is showing up in IE8.
It works perfect in all other browsers and even IE9.
Using suggestions from these places didn't seam helping.

The link you provided for the test page fails.
Browser issues normally result from embedding code issues. Did you let Flash publish the html for the swf's... if not, give it a try.

Flash movie looks different in some IE8 browsers

Hi All,
I have a website http://www.pestcontrolonline.com which looks fine in firefox, safari etc, but in some versions of IE 8 or 9 the flash movie looks wrong or doesn't display. For example the insect guide vertical scroller on the right hand side of the page goes out of alignment with the actual scroller scrolling out the top of the back ground image.
Also on the main page beneath the flash movie that shows the special offers is another flash movie that segments and rotates the image, on some browsers this doesn't show at all.
If the flash movies didn't show in any version of IE then i would assume that there was a problem cross browser wise, but in our office it shows on virtually all of our computers fine, except for two and all computers run the same browser version and connect to the internet via our company server. I have tried several things including re inserting the flash movies, but nothing really changes.
Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Lee

Altruistic, what happens when you click No? Does the error appear?
I ran the IE8 debugger to see if i could investigate further and I actually did not see the same thing you did.
I ran into problems with 3 things:
jquery.min.js
SpryData.js
It's reporting that certain variables are null or not objects
tabsandaccordions.js
says "object does not support this property or method", referring to this:
if($.cookie('/careercenter/menustate')) { $('#menu').accordion('activate', $('#' + $.cookie('/careercenter/menustate')).parent('h3')); };
Again, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction. I'm really not sure what is going on. Is this something other than a compatibility issue?

ITunes movies not showing up on Apple TV

I'm having some trouble with my movies not showing up on Apple TV.
The movies I am missing are not purchased from iTunes but I have converted them using Handbrake. I've double checked the format and they seem to be what's required from what I've read in other threads.
I've also made sure they are in the "movies" category and not "home movies."
I'm not the most computer savy person... most of what I know is just from reading threads. Can someone help?
Here is the format of a movie that's not showing up:
H.264, 720 x 304, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.00 kHz
Movie FPS: 23.98
Playing FPS: 23.98
Data Size: 1.24 GB
Data Rate: 938.58 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 720 x 304 pixels
Current Size: 720 x 304 pixles

RogerOut makes some good points and this feels to me like a ham fisted attempt by Apple to take control of my media in a way that I don't want. The stuff it is choosing to call "home movie" is 100% legit movies, but not ones I bought through the itunes store. So I load a movie and then it mysteriously does not show up in my Apple TV because it has defaulted to "home movie".
What I still fail to understand is what the heck is the purpose of this apart from annoying users who's stuff now does not appear on ATV without explanation or warning. So glad to have this forum to help me, but why should I have to do this to figure out how to overcome a stupid thing that Itunes is doing to my movie (it is a movie!)?
As I say though, what possible benefit is it for a users media to be labelled in this way and anyway, why does calling it a home movie make it unreadable in ATV?

Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can. The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
Thanks

Adobe Flash up to date; firefox 9.0.1 installed. Flash does not show as plug in & Firefox states Flash not up to date. What to do

Under plugins, I get the following message:
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
However, I updated to the version Firefox suggested. Flash does not show as a plugin. Plus, after updating, I continue to receive the message:
Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
Running Windows 7
Firefox v 9.0.1
What is wrong?

The plugin check page only recognizes some common plugins that play media on web pages and not plugins added by security software like McAfee. So no need to worry about that. Just make sure that you keep all your software up to date, especially software that deals with internet access and security software (anti-virus software, firewall).

Flash movie not displayed correctly in IE 8 on some Windows OS

Has anyone seen this problem?
I'm using CS4 to export a basic flash movie with embed tags pre scripted...
And the issue is that on some OS systems using Vista or Windows 7 and IE 8 as a primary browser, it appears that IE 8 is not displaying the flash banner completely.... its CROPPING it off... This is very strange because the banner works fine in FireFox, IE7,Opera,Chrome but not I.E.8 on some OS systems...
If you google "Flash not displaying correctly in IE 8" you'll get alot of people with the same issues but no real definate fix...
Are there any suggestions as to what i could try?
Do i need different flash embed tags? Or is this a user issue?
Please Advise as soon as possible...
Thanks

I'm sorry, i forgot to explain that I didn't upload the flash published html because it did and produced the exact same results.
The flash published still got cropped off on 1 vista os(I.E 8) running from a laptop and 1 windows 7(I.E. 8) latop os...
Its good to hear that you're able to see it clearly... however in my QA efforts, i've been asked to fix the issue or drop the flash banner all together.
I've tried every which way, i've even converted the embed tags (not uploaded by the way) to a js script and it STILL gets cropped of on 2 ie8 run OS systems...
And now i'm not sure what else to try on my end.
I'm currious if because this is an XML driven flash banner, this may be an issue? But it still doesn't explain why some people can see this in IE 8 as you can and others get a cropped banner like in my screen shot sample.
Again i invite everyone in the forum to take a look at the sample links, as i'd be curious to see who else is seeing this.
By the way "kglad" Thank you so much... please keep the suggestions coming... but everything you've suggested, i've tried.
This is very perplexing. Is this a setting issue? or is there some setting on the user side i'm not aware of? Either way, as usual... the flash developer is blamed so i must find a solution.

Flash CS6 not showing in FCP 7.03

I recently upgraded (well, for me it was an upgrade) to an older Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
I have installed FCP 7.03 (and in a seperate folder the hated FCP X)
I also have Adobe Creative Suite CS6 installed.
On my previous MacBook Pro I could export from a video sequence as a Flash Movie (.FLV). I could do this using one of the options in "Export Using QuickTime Conversion" On that machine I was running Flash CS4.
For some reason the Flash export option is not showing now. Flash is properly installed and opens just fine.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
A.S.

"Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?"
Probably nothing. FCP 7 was last updated in 2010; Flash CS6 was released in 2012. Incompatibility is to be expected.
There may be a conversion program, but it's most likely you'll find it on Adobe's Flash forum.
Good luck

Flash player not showing up in start menue?

installed version 11 7 700 202 on new computer running windows 7 and internet explorer. Installations said complete, but the program does not show up in the start menue and does not activate when trying to view videos, sometimes getting the message that I do not have flashplayer plugin downloaded? On the adobe help site the find version help tool displays that "flash player is running on your system" by showing the movie of that text and a red ball. So what the heck is going on. I have restarted the computer a couple time too?

Flash Player is only a browser add-on, not an executable program, so it won't appear in the Start menu.
Regarding Internet Explorer, a couple of possibilities
