MP3 file loaded dynamically in swf embedded in html does not play in Firefox

Hi,
I have made a presentation with voice over, in which the images and audio files are loaded externelly from the folder where the swf was placed. the voice over files are in MP3 format, loaded with the script follows
mysound = new Sound();
mysound.loadSound("voice1.mp3");
mysound.start(0,0);
It works well in IE but not in Firefox.
Can anyone extend a helping hand?

Hello RaghuMadhav1968,
I moved your post out of the InContext Editing forum into the Flash forum.
Best regards,

  • Embedded swf in pdf does autoplay in IE(9), does not play in Firefox and Chrome.

    I created a pdf with swf embedded. Set it to autoplay.
    Does play fine in IE9.
    In Firefox and Chrome video shows up (initial picture) with a play button.
    Will not play, not auto nor when I click the play button.
    Firefox and Chrome I just downloaded, so the newest versions.
    Windows 7 professional.

    Found the solution for Firefox.
    In firefox, goto tools/options.
    Look for Portable Document Format (PDF).
    Select it and in drop down choose Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) instead of Use Firefox (Default)
    Thanks but no thanks, Acrobat team.

  • RoboHelp HTML does not generate .chm file

    We have a large help system for F1 help with about 2,000 help
    topics in about 50 different Word .doc files. We had used RoboHelp
    for Word previously, but with the goal of generating a single .chm
    help file, we tried using RoboHelp HTML to change the Word .doc
    files to .htm files. RoboHelp HTML does this conversion and creates
    2,000 .htm files.
    When we try to generate the .chm file for the help system,
    RoboHelp for HTML does not respond and does not create the .chm
    file. Is RoboHelp HTML not capable of handling such a big help
    system? Are there any workarounds to generate the .chm file
    successfully?

    Peter, thanks for your input. Here's where we are. We opened
    RoboHelp HTML and converted the Word docs into .html files. Then we
    were able to generate the .chm file (it worked this time) using
    RoboHelp HTML. We have about 50 .gif images, and no external links.
    The actual number of HTML files with help topics is close to
    4,000 for this F1 field help in our application. Ideally, we would
    love to have a master project with sub-projects, but it doesn't
    appear as a practical alternative. The .hh file (for F1 field help)
    is generated from the application by the developer and given to us.
    In order to have a master project and slave projects, we
    would have to manually split that automatically-generated.hh file
    into individual .hh files, true? That means we would have to
    correlate which .html help topic file corresponds with which map id
    number, then chalk out how we want to divide the .html help topics
    into individual projects that correspond to their .hh files?
    This help system I inherited is 10 years old, and the
    resource time we would spend (if we chose to modularize this help
    system) would be gigantic in scope. If there is a simpler and
    efficient way to modularize our F1 help system, I would love to
    hear about it!

  • FLV embedded in a SWF file, does not play in HTML file.

    Hi,
    I embedded a FLV file into flash movie clip, which on publish plays well on SWF file, but when the same is embedded in HTML, it does not play.
    What is it i'm missing ..
    Kindly help.
    Regards
    Shashi

    First, clarify this... are you embedding the .flv into the time line, as in:
    The .FLV file is imported on the  timeline of a movie clip.
    I embedded the .flv file,
    If you are in fact embedding the video, then there is no external video file... it's embedded into the timeline.
    If you are using the FLVPlayback component and an external vid file to display the video and the .swf when testing plays the video just fine but not on the HTML Web page:
    SWF plays external video file, as soon as I embed SWF in HTML, it no longer playes the external video file.
    then it's most likely a pathing problem.
    If you are placing the .swf on a Web page and the .swf and/or the .flv file are not both in the same folder as the Web page.... then the .swf should NOT work when you test it directly! That's because it should be pathed to play from the Web page and not the location of the .swf.
    For your review:
    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.

  • Mp4 file does not play when exported to swf?

    I am putting together an interactive flash file that I have created in inDesign (CS4).
    I have had no problems creating and exporting links, buttons etc, but when it comes to embedding video I am experiencing trouble..I have a video which I have converted to mp4 H.264 format, and there appears to be no problems when uploading but when I export, the video does not play, and there is just a black box in its place with no controls. I have tried converting the file into various other formats, all with no luck. I hope you can tell me where the problem lies!
    Thank you

    Support for placed videos in exported SWF was introduced in InDesign CS5 so it does not suppose to work with CS4...

  • ITunes shows mp3 Files in library but does not play them?

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with my library. I have a number of tracks in my iTunes folder which show up in my library, however when I click on them, nothing at all happens. The Diamond does not move and the track does not play.
    This is odd, as other tracks on the album, and which are included in the album folder do play, but iTunes has decided it won't play some of the tracks.
    Interestingly, the tracks it does play all show up with the album artwork if I view the folder, however the ones it does not play only show up with the MP3 file icon. And just to throw another twist in, I can play the files which iTunes wont play, in cover flow...
    So how do I gt iTunes to play all the songs again? Will rebuilding my library work?
    And finally, iTunes has categorised a load of album files in an "unknown" folder, despite these files having full artist, album, genre etc information in their tag. Can I get iTunes to put these into the correct albums somehow?
    Many thanks!

    As for the files not playing, you might want to check their permissions. Select the mp3 files in your finder, go to File>Get Info, look under Sharing & Permissions, and make sure you have Read & Write
    privileges.

    Did you perform a Firefox Reset either by clicking the button on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page or via the Safe mode start window?
    You may have gotten the Safe Mode start window as the result of not being able to start Firefox more than once after crashes.

  • Video does not play: "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format......"

    Error message
    "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format or the content doesn't match the extension"
    I have both a Yoga and a Thinkpad 2. The Yoga is running Win 8 and the Thinkpad 2 has 8.1 Preview.
    I have copied multiple video files which are in either .avi or .mp4 containers.
    Some will play and some will not. I have installed all sorts of codec packages and players and the problem is the same. I though it might be a container problem so I tried to convert the file and the converter I used did not work.
    Searched the Internet and nothing really useful was found.
    Then I discovered a common thread. In the files that played, the codec information displayed when checking in properties and the ones that did not play, did not have the information.
    I have a video file on a USB flash drive and checked the properties and the information was there and I could play it from the flash drive. I copied it to my desktop and the file would not play. In checking, the codec information was not present.
    There seems to be an error in copying files where the requisite codec information is not being transferred.
    I have tried this multiple times and multiple permutations of transferring. Sometimes it will play from the desktop and will not play after transfer to the microSD card.
    Each time when it plays, the information is there and each time it does not play, the information is not there.

  • I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs. Why?

    I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs (just a blank area where the SWF should be). When I detach the template it will play the flash file. This site will eventually be updated via Adobe Contribute. And I just discovered that when applying a template to a page that uses HTML datasets (Master/Detail),it no longer reads the Master/detail regions and displays a blank. Any thoughts?
    [Moved to Dreamweaver forum by moderator]

    Firstly, you shouldn't really 'apply' a template to a page, you should create a child page by going to FILE>NEW>Page from Template.  Too many things can happen when applying a template the way you are doing it. eg:; editable and non-editable regions not matching up and being asked where to place these regions and in all likelihood, you end up with 2 or more of the same region.
    When a swf file is inserted into a page, a corresponding Scripts folder is written automatically is stored in the root of the site - it is also linked to in the head of the document. What I believe is happening is that when you apply a template to the page, the Template has no idea that there is a swf file on the page and is not aware of the correct link to the Scripts folder.  If you do a test and add the swf file to the template page itself, I bet that the links to the swf and the scripts folder are correct - because DW knows the correct path to the script file.   Hence the reason the page probably works when you detach it from a template.

  • Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

    I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
    Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

    Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
    Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

  • IPod shuffle does not play files 100 MB

    Could anyone help me out with the following issue please:
    After uploading a large mp3 file (>100MB) onto my iPod shuffle (2nd generation, 1GB) - uploading does not give any error messages - the song just does not play when I disconnect my iPod and hit the play button. It automatically continues to the next file in my playlist which is smaller than 100 MB. I reconnected the iPod to my computer and iTunes, and the file is still in the iPod playlist and can be played in iTunes without any problems.
    If I upload a file with a size just smaller than 100 MB (I tried 95 MB) I do not experience the problem mentioned above, it will just play the file normally.
    Is this a limitation of the iPod shuffle or is something wrong with my iPod shuffle?
    Thanks for your help!
    Erwin

    It's probably no consolation, but I routinely play audiobooks >100MB on my 2nd Gen shuffle.

  • SWF slide show does not play

    I need some help with a Fireworks swf slide show.

    And here is a hard link to the slide show:
    http://www.shortlifeweb.com/DrTedScott/images/slideshow.swf

    are properly located.
    However, in the index1.html, the slideshow does not play.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Ken.

    To make things simple, I created a blank page - no template,
    no formatting. And it still does not play.
    According to some of the tutorials I have seen, the slide
    show should play within Dreamweaver, but it doesn't play there
    either.

  • Swf does not play in IE

    I have a client who wants his logo in flash.  I'm using swfobject to include the swf, but it does not play in IE8 unless I specify compatibility mode.
    The site is here...
         thefinancialtap.com
    What am I missing?

    I'd suggest you get rid of all the IE conditional statement stuff and only use the single <object>, IE will handle that just fine... with or without swfobject.
    <object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
                <param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
                <param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
    </object>
    According to your DOCTYPE this validation service agrees. Validate your page here:

    Notice what is says about the first (IE targeted) <object>.

  • Missing file -- can't find -- see it but does not play -- what went wrong?

    I was working on a 2 hour long podcast using 1 track - female voice. When I opened the file, the 1st hour does not play. Get a message saying "missing file." I searched for the file on all disks in all folders -- not there. But you can see the recorded track -- it just says it's missing. The 2nd hour is fine. I have no idea what could have gone wrong. That's a lot of lost work. Any ideas? Thanks.

    trying to figure out a recipe for a problem is really good, so congrats on taking the extra step (i wish more people would list their steps, it would make diagnosing problems a lot easier)! unfortunately, no, that should not have caused a problem, it SHOULD have worked as you expected. changing settings, or moving regions between tracks should not cause a problem.
    stopped and changed to plain Female voice to be consistent with my other podcasts.
