Flash video not up loading correctly

I created a swf file with an attached skin sitting below the
video. When I upload it through dreamweaver the video shows up and
plays but with just a white space where the skin should be. Is
there anyone who can help me understand what is wrong. The video is
at www.whitepineproductions.ca/MaxBates2.html.
Thanks for any help

Don't know why you're starting multiple threads, but as I
said
elsewhere...
You need to upload the skin file to the same location as the
.html
file.

Why do Yahoo Flash videos not always run correctly in Chrome and Firefox/Windows 8?

I upgraded early last month to Windows 8 Pro.
Running Yahoo! News and other videos (Yahoo! Screen, etc.; virtually all Yahoo branded products) I get a black screen, no error message on Chrome and Firefox. The videos run correctly on Internet Explorer.
I have not found a way to run these videos at all in Firefox or the 64-bit Waterfox.
In Chrome, I can DISABLE the internal Pepper-based Flash player and the videos will run (but nothing ELSE will: no YouTube, etc.)
I can keep a plug-ins page open in Chrome and repeatedly enable and disable the internal Flash player; I can copy and paste the URL for what I'm watching back into IE...or perhaps some kind and knowing person here will have a better idea. For me, I sense a bug somewhere. BTW...this machine dual-boots Win8 and WIn7. The problem does not exist in Win7. Please don't suggest going back to Win7; that's a VERY mature (translate SLOW and quirky; survived repeated change of motherboard and other major components) install that I'm continually weaning myself away from and rarely boot into it anymore (Win8 boots from SSD and is blazingly fast, Win7 not so much).
I have not found any site other than the ENTIRE Yahoo site that has this problem!
Jay from the Bronx

I'm back! Actually, this issue has been happening to me every now & then but I'd just given up on dealing with it. But now I'm motivated again.
I clicked on a video link in Facebook that sent me to NASCAR | Facebook which turns from the https URL to those two words on this site for some odd reason, and it just popped a box telling me saying Flash Player Upgrade Required - Get Flash Player and the video's image never displayed under that and it couldn't be played.
Then once again I went thru all of the steps to insure that both I do actually have Flash Player and that it is Enabled. I do and it is. I also read somewhere to click the gear icon in IE then click Safety > ActiveX Filtering. I do that and I see a checkmark next to ActiveX Filtering. I've tried it both with a checkmark and without one and there's no difference.
I have Windows 8.1 fully updated, IE-11 and Flash Player
I see the swinging tire swing image in #5. Verify if Flash Player is installed at Flash Player Help.

Flash video won't load

When I try to play a slide containing a flash video the following error message appears: "The flash video cannot be loaded. The output may not be proper." The file is a flash file that was converted in AME. What might be preventing this video from loading?

I had this happen once and even though the
property panel looked correct, I deleted
the video from the slide and added it back in.
I was able to then play the video.

Websites not loading correctly and flash videos not playing

When I visit sites like '''ign.com''' and '''joystiq.com''', they do not display correctly and Flash videos never load. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled twice to version 9.0.1 with no change. The second time I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to help make sure I got rid of all registry entries and residual files. Does anyone know if this is a recent bug? This started for me about noon yesterday...

Flash videos not playing correctly

I posted some flash videos to some sites that get a
tremendous amount of website traffic. We are getting feedback that
the flash videos do not play consitently. Some people can see them
just fine, others cannot see the videos at all, for others -
particulary in Firefox, the video asks to download rather than
play. We created the videos using Flash 9 - importing the FLV file
and saving as an swf. We do not really see any type of pattern
across browsers.
Any advice?

Flash video not loading in IE and Chrome

Hi,
I have published a simple flash video page and uploaded it to my website.
It works fine in Firefox but in IE and Chrome it seems to load the first 10 seconds i.e the loading bar goes grey for a small section, Then the buffering comes up and the video doesn't load.
I've upgraded my flash player to the latest one. Cleared my history and opened my browser again.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

i see the same problem with all three browsers: that video won't play unless the an initial portion has already been cached.
to remedy, play and pause your video. after a 3 seconds * bitrate of your video has cached, play your video

Flash Video not playing in IE6

I have a flash video embedded in my page that plays fine in
FF and IE7, however when loading the page in IE6 the video is
absent (the "red x" is in its place) and I receive the message
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result the page may not display correctly."
Now, this happens in IE6 only on the default security
settings. I have other sites that embed flash video and play fine
in IE6 without warning...they weren't created with Dreamweaver CS3
though.
What is triggering this in IE 6 and can I remove some code
from my page to prevent this?
Thanks for any help to what is probably a noobish
question.

Flash Video not showing on Server

Hi, wonder if anyone can help on this one. Going round in circles. Not sure why, should be simple enough.
I have created a Flash Video in Flash 8 and published and picked up in Dreamweaver 8. Published files were sample.swf, sample.html and SteelExternalAll.swf (skin). Publish settings were: Format - Flash SWF and HTML; default Flash settings with local playback security set to access local files only; default HTML settings.
In Dreamweaver, sample.html is accessed via an iframe in test.php. In Preview mode, everything is as it should be with the Video showing. The problem is, when I upload all the files to the Server, the video is not displayed including the skin. Instead, all I get is the border of the iframe with a red rectangle showing where the video should be.
Hope someone can help. Pulling my hair out on this one and get the feeling there is a simple explanation.
Thank you in advance.

First get the video to play in the web page that you accessing in iframe;
http://79.170.40.41/booksat.com/videos/elaine.html
For testing purposes get rid of all that old, outdated Flash detection code and instead just use:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Elaine</title>
</head>
<body>
<object data="elaine.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="345"><
param name="movie" value="elaine.swf">
</object>
</body>
</html>
No skin but you should at least see the video... worry about the skin later....
But you also need to make sure that you have all the files uploaded, the .swf, the skin .swf and the .flv video file and that they are pathed correctly. Keep in mind that pathing to the Flash assets need to be relative to the Web page that the .swf video player is on, NOT the physical location of the .swf or the .flv file.
But get the video playing correctly on the elaine.html before you consider putting it in an iframe.
For a quick review on pathing Flash:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Firefox crashes as soon as Flash video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure"

I am unable to use Youtube or view Flash video on any sites.
Firefox crashes/quits as soon as a video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure".
I have uninstalled Flash, downloaded a fresh version and installed, but no joy.
I am using OS X 10.6.6.
This is what I have tried so far;
1. Repaired Permissions.
2. Restarted with external drive and run Disk repair.
3. Restarted with external drive and run DiskWarrior.
4. Completely uninstalled Flash plugin. Robooted. Reinstalled Flash plugin. Rebooted.
5. I even installed an earlier version of the plugin to see if there was some incompatibility with the latest version.
6. Created a new user login and tried from there. Same problem.
Any ideas?

You have what is necessary for Flash Player to be working. Firefox had some issues last year but it was after loading a video or the website. I had not heard of it lately and even last year don't recall it happening on the Macs.
What is happening with yours sounds like a direct conflict with some addon/extension.
Here is the link from Firefox describing what happened last year. You might want to see if there is anything more current.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The%20Adobe%20Flash%20plugin%20has%20crashed?s=Firefo x+crashing+browser&as=s
I'll get the Mac troubleshooting guide in a minute and post it also.
Any adblock or popup blocker software would cause this also.
Thanks,

Flash Video Not Paused At Start

Hi there
I'm trying to publish a flash video to the web but even
though I've ticked the "paused at start" option in the publish
settings, it still plays when the page is loaded.
I've also tried adding various things such as
autoplay='false', autostart='false' etc. but no joy.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please??
Thanks!

Shan I have the same problem but the code is generated by
Flash CS 3 in the html file it produces. Here is part of it. You
will see
" 'play', 'false', "
I am not sure how to add your code and surely the Flash code
should work?

Flash video not working? Embed wrong?

I was told the following Flash videos are not workin on IE on
pc. I am
wondering what I did wrong with embedding them?
http://www.agilitygraphics.com/clients/cs/pages/destination.html
http://www.agilitygraphics.com/clients/cs/pages/history.html
http://www.agilitygraphics.com/clients/cs/pages/location.html
Thank you for any help!

Works for me...
Are you doing player detection? Which player are you
targeting?
Maybe those people did not have the correct player...
This is what I do:
1. I downloaded the player 7,8 and 9 player installers, the
player
uninstaller and always have them handy
2. Uninstall the player and visit the site to see it my no
player
installer detection is working and what happens
3. Install like the player 7 and see what happens
and so on...
this way you cna debug your player detection and give the
users the
option to either install flash or upgrade but never get a
blank video box

Flash video not uploaded to my website

Hello
I am very new at this and i am actually learning via videos tutorials. I developed a website in flash cs3. The website was uploaded but the flash video and an external swf file is not visible on the site. These flash videos are however visible when i test the movie in flash. I uploaded into server the an html index page, the swf files to the server. My website is www.foxwildlife.com. Please help.

The most common problem with Flash working when testing but not from the server is that the pathing to some of the Flash assets (videos, xml files, etc.) is that the path to those assets is wrong, being set relative to the .swf and not the Web page, as it should be.
The second most common problem is that some of the files just were not uploaded. For example, you need to upload all the .flv video files, not just the .swf that plays them.
For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.

Flash Video Not Playing

On this page:
http://www.steigerfamily.net/2005/10/09/shark-attach-in-aruba/
The flash video which is playing through a swf file is not
playing. It used to play and all of sudden it stopped working for
no reason. I doubled checked the mime settings and those are all
set correctly.
What could be the issue and how do I resolve it?
thank you
-b

Here is the problem as I see it. Acording to the code this
should be the location of the swf file:
http://www.steigerfamily.net/2005/10/09/shark-attach-in-aruba/theshark.swf
but on your server the file is actually here:
http://www.steigerfamily.net/theshark.swf
So I think you need to adjust the location of the swf file in
your code for it to work. It seems like the page was moved and that
caused it to stop working:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="326" height="282" id="theshark" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="../../../..theshark.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="../../../../theshark.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="326" height="282" name="theshark"
align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/> 
</object>
Ps - not sure if ti should be:
../../../../theshark.swf
or
http://www.steigerfamily.net/theshark.swf

Flash Video not visible

Hello
Apologies for posting yet another request for help with
putting Flash Video on a web page! I've spent hours trying to
figure out where I've gone wrong, read through many messages and
tried to follow all suggestions, updated to DMW 8.0.2, ensured the
scripts folder, flv and swf files are uploaded but still get a
blank page online. I'm totally mystified and frustrated. Trying to
see the page online the activity monitor in Safari says the
following files are loaded:
http://www.eyeeyeltd.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
http://www.eyeeyeltd.com/Halo_Skin_2.swf
http://www.eyeeyeltd.com/Pinochet.html
http://www.eyeeyeltd.com/pinochet_S.flv
http://www.eyeeyeltd.com/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
Background: I exported the clip from Final Cut Pro as a Flash
Video using the on2 VP6 codec and in Dreamweaver used
Insert>Media>Flash Video.
Previously I have managed to successfully post video this way
on the internet but I was using an earlier version of Dreamweaver
(MX 2004), Sorenson Spark and slightly smaller files. I just don't
know what I am doing wrong this time and would be VERY grateful of
any help.
The web page is
http://www.eyeeyeltd.com/Pinochet.html

Your file -
http://www.eyeeyeltd.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
is flawed, somehow. It's not calling for the FLV file, and is
therefore a
blank. Try remaking it.
