My flash animation won't work when I preview my webiste in the browser.

I am using Dreamweaver CS6. I have inserted a flash animation file into my website that I created in Flash. And it plays just fine in the design part of Dreamweaver. But when I Preview In Browser, it does not appear, OR it tells me i need to download the newest flash player and once ive done that, still does not work. HELP!

+1 on that. I completely agree with you Nancy. But whats funny is most schools today have this as part of their syllabi which is a shame. I saw this high-end web technologies school whose motto is 'We shape the developers of tomorrow.' that does not have HTML5 or CSS3 as part of their Semester 1 or 2 but has Flash in 3 semesters. Whats more ironic is they're not even teaching game development (one domain where Flash may still survive) but their syllabi consists of Flash Website development! Lol!
Like they say, What kids learn in college in their 1st year is already outdated by the time they enter their 4th year, thanks to ever-evolving technology!

  • Flash animation doesn't work when I publish Captivate file

    Hi,
    I have an e-learning developed by a third party using Captivate 6, they've inserted animations (swf files) created using Flash CS6. When I try publishing the Captivate file on my computer all the animations work well except for a particular one (a wheel that spins and asks questions).
    When I publish the Captivate file and go to that particular slide and click anywhere other than this animation the whole thing freezes (this doesn't happen on other slides with the other animation/quizzes developed using Flash CS6 on the same project). However, when the developer publishes the same file on their machine it works well.
    I don't have Flash CS6 installed on my machine (I only have Flash CS4 and can't open the animation/swf files), I asked someone else (that had Flash CS6) to try publishing the Captivate file and had the same issue I had.
    Has anyone had this issue before? how can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    Since you are loading another SWF file into your main root timeline and want to transfer control to the loaded SWF you need to call _lockroot on the container that holds the loaded content since you are using _root. Like this:
    myMCLMain.loadClip("flashSite.swf", "container2");
    container2._lockroot = true; //Add this line after loadClip
    Or you can remove the _root in the loaded SWF.

  • Flash player won't work or download. It says it no longer supports power pcs. I am running 10.5.8 on my ibook G4. Seem to have tried everything. i.e. chrome, firebird, archived flash players, etc. All not supported. Any insight???

    Flash player won't work or download. It says it no longer supports power pcs. I am running 10.5.8 on my ibook G4. Seem to have tried everything. i.e. chrome, firebird, archived flash players, etc. All not supported. Any insight??? It started when I tried to upgrade current flash player and it said I needed to uninstall current version, which I did, and then it wouldn't download the current one giving me the not supported story! Please help!!!!!!

    Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
    Download this if you haven't...
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
    Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
    Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!

  • Animations Won't work

    I made a digital portfolio and it has external flash
    animations in it. When i view it on my computer (as either a .swf
    or a mac app) it works just fine. But when I put them on a CD (to
    give out my portfolio?) the animations will not work. Why is this
    doing this? Is it something to do with how i'm publishing
    it?

    SWF will only work on computer which has the Flash authoring
    tool because the stand
    alone player comes exclusively with the application. For
    anyone else, this file has to be
    run within browser, in html document (preferably).
    If you want to distribute your work on CD then export the
    file to Windows EXE and Mac APP
    projector file format. Flash will wrap the player around your
    SWF making possible to view
    for these who do not have the standalone players.

  • Powerpoint animation won't work automatically in captivate

    Hello.  I imported a PowerPoint presentation into Adobe Captivate 7 and the animation won't work unless I hit the play button every time to make each individual piece of animation work.  How can I get the animation to play automatically and then have the user click to the next slide.  I'm working in Windows 8.1.  Thanks.
    David

    Hi There,
    Greetings from Adobe.
    In PowerPoint , when you select an object on which you applied an animation then at top menu bar you have to change from On Click to With Previous or After Previous and save the presentation.
    Then imported into Captivate and while importing please make sure you select automatically under Advanced and check High Fidelity option. Then preview the project and it will play the animation automatically.
    Regards,
    Ajit

  • Flash player won't work after a successful download

    About my Mac:
    OS X version 10.8.4
    1.3 GHz
    Safari: version 6.0.5
    I have installed and unistalled flash player several times, and even restarted my computer. I followed all the steps to do so correctly, but the Flash Player won't work at all. Youtube and other websites give me error messages when I try to watch a video. They say "missing plug-in".
    I really can't seem to find the problem.

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

    What exactly means "not working"?
    What exactly means "cannot"?

    Presumably you are connecting it from the *Dock Connector.* In this case, the controls on the car stereo should be controlling the iPod and the iPod's controls are disabled.
    If you are using the car's connection interface, consult the car manual to find out how to control the iPod. If you are using an adaptor between the iPod and car, ask the adaptors installer or manufacturer.

  • My nano works when connected to a computer but won't work when unconnected.  The battery is full.

    My nano won't work when it is not connected to a computer.  It won't even reset.  If I pull it into my computer it will work and it shows that the battery is full.  What might be the problem?

    Then that sounds to be the Apple ID that owns this Mac, the OS and any preinstalled apps. Did that Apple ID set the Mac up when new?

  • Installed Windows 7 on bootcamp but now my wireless mouse won't work when in windows. What can I do?

    Installed Windows 7 on bootcamp but now my wireless mouse won't work when in windows. What can I do?

    assuming it is an optical mouse (no ball etc.) then there aren't any moving parts involve in the motion detection
    so there's a faulty component or connection
    from what you describe it could be just a loose/broken connection, so if you know someone familiar with electronics see if they can open it up and have a look
