Flash videos and things that use flash freeze firefox completely.

Well, whenever I open a flash player, or something like that, most things that use flash player as a plugin, it freezes my firefox, and then, after awhile it may or may not say a script is causing problems yadda yadda.

If you are running Flash 11.3, try disabling the new protected mode, since that feature is currently being debugged. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • How to embed Flash video and control skin using HTML?

    I am trying to use HTML to embed a flash video, however I encounter the following errors:
    Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="
    Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinOverPlaySeekStop.swf"]
    Here is my HTML code:
    <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
         width="640" height="480" >
         <param name="movie" value="Content/example.swf">
         <param name="quality" value="high">
         <param name="play" value="true">
         <param name="loop" value="false">
         <embed src="Content/example.swf" width="640" height="480" play="false" loop="false" quality="high"></embed>
    </OBJECT>
    Whenever I open the page I'll get a popup window with the above errors and once I click "continue" it will go ahead and play the video, but without the control skin.  Can anyone tell me how to get the skin to show up?

    I found a solution at this thread.  Basically, you just have to move your skin file (ie. SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf) to the same directory as your index.html file.
    doghouseJim, thanks for the link.  Although I didn't have to use swfobject in this case it is still good to know.  Also, I didn't know that Flash can generate the HTML.  This is a quick and easy way to see the video in a web browser and if you're using Firefox you can go to View > Page Source to see the code.  If you just want to see the HTML, then all you have to do is go to File > Publish Preview > HTML and it will open a web browser where you can view the page source.

    i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • How can I view videos from a website that uses flash player?

    Hi All...having an issue finding an application to use  to view videos on another website that uses flash player. I have Flip for Mac, but this doesn't solve the problem.

  • Can't watch videos or see apps that use flash, or silverlight

    I just got this iPod Touch today, why can't i watch or see anything that uses flash, or silverlight
    Is there anyway to watch or see flash, and silverlight using iPod Touch?
    Thanks!

    Because no iDevices support Flash or Silverlight,  There is the SkyFire browser that displays/converts Flash on a special site.  For more info on Flash look at the previous posts on the right under the hading "More Like This"  Also see:

  • Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment

    Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment.
    The files generated work on development machine. I posted the same
    files in hosted environment and flash will not show. I first
    thought it was Vista 64 IE 7 so I switched to XP IE7 and same
    results. Still it is strange the falsh works locally. I am sure it
    is something simple that I am missing. Any help would be
    appreciated. Thank you.
    Stan

    Nickels55, I appreciate the response. Here are the
    interesting facts. I had my hosting provider apply the mime type
    and restart IIS. No flash video. I have Vista x64 Ultimate with I
    think IIS 7 (the default IIS that comes with the OS.) The flash
    video would not show in that environment until I applied the MIME
    and then it WORKED. Yeah! But I still don’t have it working
    on my web hosting provider with server Win2003. I thought it was
    the hosting provider but I posted on my work server Win 2003 and
    changed the MIME with a reset and could not get the video to work
    there either.
    I would like to try another angle here. Again I am using the
    wizard to encode and publish the flash video. Maybe I don’t
    have a settings correct. I can approach this a few ways.
    1.) I can send my video to someone to post on their Win2003
    server and see if they can get it going.
    2.) Someone send me a short 3 second video that they produced
    that they know it works on Win2003.
    3.) Any other ideas? Surely someone in this universe has used
    the flash wizard to encode a video and published to a Win2003
    server. :)
    I guess the other thing to note is when creating the flash
    video I chose no controls (play, stop, pause). I want the video to
    start when someone accesses the page for the first time.
    Thank you for the help everyone.

  • How do you play a Flash video and then close the player?

    I have a splash page that plays a .swf. At the end of the
    video the home.html page is opened. As/after the home page launches
    I want to play a Flash video and then have the player close.
    I am willing to trade wife, children or beagles for the info.

    Are these two separate browser windows? One for the Flash
    .swf and a different window for the home.html document? Is this
    correct:
    1. show .swf in one window,
    2. open new, second, window with home.html
    3. show second .swf in first window
    4. close first window when second .swf finishes
    If this is the scenario, then no, you can't reliably close
    the first window. You can use Javascript to close a browser window,
    but, if that window wasn't opened using Javascript, then it may not
    close gracefully, or in the case of IE, may display a prominent
    error message.

  • Flash Video and SWFObject

    Hi Guys
    I'm trying to insert a flash video file (FLV) that has the
    controls as a separate swf using SWFObject. The flash was created
    in Flash 8.
    I'm not sure of the actual code I need to get this to work
    though.
    The html file that should contain the flash is
    /Careers/index.html.
    These files are in the /Careers/flash/ folder:
    ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
    complete_david_w_headshot_small_controls_over.swf
    complete_david_w_headshot.flv
    I have also tried inserting the Flash Video using Dreamweaver
    8 (Insert -> Media), however, there were two problems in IE.
    1. You still needed to activate the flash and
    2. When playing the video, it wouldn't play the last 2
    seconds. However, pausing and the playing again from that position
    does play the remainder.
    I also preferred the DW 8 Clear Controls Skin over the Flash
    8 one, so is it possible that I could attach this somehow to the
    FLV?
    I'd really appreciate some help.
    Thanks
    Matt

  • Flash videos and buttons are disappearing...?

    I start my home with a site that has an editable reigon, and
    a few flash buttons which are layered above a "transparent" flash
    video, the video plays perfectly the first time. I proceed to click
    on one of the links which leads me to another page with one of
    these flash videos nestled behind yet more flash linking buttons
    and a table, this also is working perfectly the first time. Then I
    click yet another link from that page and am now at a simple page
    that consists of only a background and 2 flash link buttons which
    each lead back to the two previous pages described. If i click on
    the link that leads to the first page the Flash buttons reman in
    full working order on the 1st page but the video fails to start
    playing again, even if I refresh. The same goes for if I click the
    link to the second page described, except the buttons do not appear
    as well as the flash video failing to start. I am fairly new to
    dreamweaver, but have been using flash for quite some time. I
    cannot paste the codes here since they are way too long. please
    tell me if you have any ideas on what I should do, your help is
    greatly appreciated. Sorry about this post is confusingly worded.
    Thanks, Rumsey

  • Browser that uses Flash

    hiya i am in the process of selling my Android phone and buying a new iPhone 4. i am looking for a browser app wherein it circumvents the inability of the iPhone and be able to render/display Flash on a website.
    is there such an app?
    any sugestions guys?

    It's funny that you mention this. I just bought the Skyfire app today and attempted to watch a TV show that uses flash and a video on you tube that uses flash, and Skyfire wouldn't let me watch either. Now I'm wondering if I just paid for an app that doesn't work at all, or if there is some other problem. Can anyone who has this app give me their opinion of it? Does it work for you? Sometimes? Not at all? Just trying to get some feedback on this app from others who have it.
    Thanks!

  • Flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down, what would cause this?

    After installing Firefox 4, all flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down. I have removed and reinstalled the flash plug in to no avail. This does not affect the playback, just the border of the video or menu box. Other browsers do not do this. Just wondering why this happens?

    OK, solved the problem...
    I '''''DELETED''''' the file LOCALSTORE.RDF with FF closed. Restarted and everything was back to normal.
