Problems loading Adobe Flash SWF file

Our users are experienceing problems loading Adobe Flash SWF
files.
One example of a problem file is:
http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/popup_acr8_accessibility.html
User traffic is flowing through a Cisco ASA firewall - these
problems do not seem to occur from home networks or a Netscreen
firewall. The Cisco ASA does NOT have http deep packet inspection
turned on, and any traffic initiated by clients inside the firewall
should be allowed. The symptom is that Internet Explorer will begin
to download the video, but will hang at some point along the way
(for this particular URL it hangs at about 7%). No error messages
are displayed, but the video never displays on the screen either. I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have run into this
before, or if someone can explain what is different about this type
of file from regular Adobe Flash, that might help figure out what
the ASA is objecting to. The ASA does not appear to generate any
log messages about denying this type of traffic either.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

Thanks, but I use publish/export settings with GPU hardware acceleration and flash version 11.2 (and 11.8) but nothing happening.
And why gif file is not all transparenty then I insert on lightblue background? It can't export good quality? Also I use Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Edge Animate. And nothing happening. Egde animate file .oam is not good for old website navigation. It can't be inserted in freeshop site from navigation... I use logo file .oam just for example here - http://e-shoptagras.graphicsrim.eu
In reality I want swf file, but we don't find why logo flickering? here http://tagraseshop.graphicsrim.eu
All file's are transparenty - https://mega.co.nz/#!f8B2CD5R!J8uCJt9Sdq4Suz4HLhTHz8bzJcSWXMBIKcKZgkD3z8c

Remove / unload external swf file(s) from the main flash file and load a new swf file and garbage collection from memory.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
This is the error message(s) I am receiving: "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

Andrei1,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
     loader.unload();
     loader2.unload();
     loader3.unload();
I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
     function killLoad():void{
     try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
     loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly? Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
---- Here is my updated code ----
// variable for external loaders
var loader:Loader;
var loader1:Loader;
var loader2:Loader;
var loader3:Loader;
// makes borders resize with browser size
function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
// resizes portfolio page to center
     loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
     loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
// resizes about page to center
     loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
     loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;

Loading multiple consecutive .swf files in Flash 8

I have a question and hope that someone may be able to help;
this might be a piece of cake for you...
I have a container .fla movie and would like to load
consecutive external .swf files. Right now I have a play button
triggering the loading of the next movie, but what I would REALLY
like is a smooth transition from .swf to .swf using a listener so
that the next .swf will load once the previous one has finished. I
have a counter which determines the next .swf in order.
So far, my code is this:
Counter:
stop();
//SETUP OUR COUNTER
var mcCounter:Number = 0;
//THIS BLOCK IS ONLY TO HANDLE THE LOADER AND THE FIRST
MOVIE, movie0.swf
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener
bject = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(loadListener);
myMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf", 6);
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function():Void {
_level0.play();
//-------------------------<CLIP
LOADERS>------------------------------\\
function loadNextClip():Void {
if(mcCounter < 6) {
mcCounter++;
var nextMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
nextMCL.addListener(this);
nextMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf",6);
//LOADS PREVIOUS CLIP , WON"T GO PAST ZERO
function loadPrevClip():Void {
if(mcCounter > 0) {
mcCounter--;
var prevMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
prevMCL.addListener(this);
prevMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf",6);
//-------------------------</CLIP
LOADERS>------------------------------\\
Any suggestions? I appreciate ANY help you can offer. I have
been unsuccessfully looking for hours online, and can't find any
examples, although it doesn't seem as if it should be the hardest
thing in the world.
Thanks!

You need a monitor to know when one movie clip has completed
play. A simple
monitor could be adding onEnterFrame handler to the
container_mc when
MovieClipLoader onComplete or onInit is fired. In that
handler a test to see
when the loaded clip's _currentframe == the loaded clip"s
_totaframes.
Ex:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._x = 0;
container_mc._y = 0;
var swfNumber:Number = 0;
var swfNumberMax:Number = 25;
var swfNamePrefix = "MovieClipLoaderDetectEndOfPlay_Movie";
var mclListener
bject = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
target_mc.startTimer = getTimer();
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
target_mc.completeTimer = getTimer();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
var timerMS:Number = target_mc.completeTimer -
target_mc.startTimer;
target_mc.play();
target_mc.onEnterFrame = function()
trace(this._currentframe)
if (this._currentframe == this._totalframes)
trace("Load Next Swf")
loadNextSwf()
var container_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
container_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
function loadNextSwf()
swfNumber++;
if (swfNumber <= swfNumberMax)
var swfSuffix = ((swfNumber<10)?"0" :"") + swfNumber;
container_mcl.loadClip(swfNamePrefix + swfSuffix + ".swf",
container_mc);
loadNextSwf()

I've down loaded adobe flash player but when I try to veiw video on firefox I'm still told that I need adobe flash player. How do I get firefox to see the flash player download?

I was trying to view a video I uploaded to facebook using firefox. The system told me to down load adobe flash player. I did but still get the message that I need to down load flash player. How do I get firefox to see the down loaded adobe flash player?

by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).
Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash

If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
* http://get.adobe.com/reader/
After the download,
#bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
#close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
#If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
#* Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
#* or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
#*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
#proceed with the install.
'''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install.

Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck

Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
How do I load more than one SWF?
How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
How do I resize the loaded SWF?
How do I set its X and Y location?
Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the

Trouble loading an external swf file implemented with AS3

I am using Adobe Flash CS3
At first, I tried
swf_mc.loadMovie("//swf file
location");
It gave me
quote:
Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method loadMovie is no
longer supported.
USE: var l = new Loader(); addChild(l); l.load(new
URLRequest("your url"));.
Well, the given code isn't working at all.
But since it is a migration error, I thought maybe I can just
save it into Flash5 format with AS1. Then it worked with most
external swf files. However, the one I am trying to load is a swf
file with AS3, so my older version swf can't load it at all.
Anyone has any ideas about how to load an external AS3 swf
file?

AS3 is a completely different beast than AS1 or 2. loadMovie
was removed from the language.
The answer to your question is two fold. First, Adobe was
kind enough to give us the code when it finds a migration issue.
var _ldr:Loader = new Loader();
addChild( _ldr );
_ldr.load( new URLRequest( "your url") );
Handling progress has also changed. I have a ContentLoader
package on my site that you're free to use that should familiarize
you with the new way that things are done in AS3.

Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
By the way:
Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
Enjoy!

Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.
Cheers... Rick

Windows 7 incorrect registry permissions to load Adobe Flash

I have discovered Windows 7 has incorrectly assigned invalid registry permissions to the entries pertaining to Adobe Flash (possibly among other keys). For example, the system Administrator is able to load Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 but when logging in on the same computer as a regular user it fails. Briefly inspecting the registry permissions on certain keys, I discovered the system has created permissions for an 'Unknown' account (has an invalid SID) which possibly is creating the error for regular users not to be able to load Adobe Flash. Obviously, Windows 7 (64bit in my case) has a bug which is causing for problems with loading Adobe Flash. What is the recommended solution to correct my problem? (If I continue with Windows).
Thank you,
~Sreyes27

I am trying to avoid a clean install of my operating system (as this has been done several times, due to this bug within Windows 7). I am trying to get to the root of the problem so it is corrected and this bug is removed. If you meant to perform a clean install of Adobe Flash, I have done that already. Interestingly enough, when a regular user does proceed with the Adobe Flash installation, it does succeed. The user is able to load Adobe Flash but only during his logon session. As soon as he/she logs off, Adobe Flash fails to load again. The user is back to square one. Any idea?
Thank you,

Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player on my Computer

Last week I installed Webroot Antivirus and Spy Sweeper on my computer and since then I cannot load my pictures on Facebook or send them to CVS or Walgreens to develop them. I have tried many times to load Adobe Flash Player, followed all instructions and nothing. I am totally frustrated. I waited over an hour on the phone for an Adobe technician and all he could do was direct me to this forum. I have a Dell computer, 32 system. I normally use Windows Explorer as my browser. Can somebody out there help me please?

This reply is to both of you trying to help me through my ordeal with Adobe Flash Player. I followed both of your advices to no avail. I even enlisted the help of my husband to see if I was doing something wrong or missing a step. He assured me I was doing everything by the book.
Well, bottom line is number
1: I never found "Extensions Adds ons and Plug Ins" in Firefox. I looked everywhere and it's simply not on my screen. I opened everything, looked at every line, every box, every space (with my husband next to me looking also).
Number 2: I got a message that reads: Firefox prevented this site (get Adobe.com) from asking you to install software on your computer.
By the way, I uninstalled Webroot at the beginning and never reinstalled it. Restarted my computer. Tried all the steps you guys suggested, restarted my computer I don't know how many times.
One time I got Adobe Flash Player installed "successfully" and then I got excited and tried YouTube, videos on Facebook, CNN and guess what? Nothing. No Adobe Flash Player.
By the way, my husband has the same problem at his work computer. He got an Information Systems technician to work on this and voila! he could not fix the problem either. Any other suggestions out there? If anybody from Adobe reading this?
To say I am fed up is putting it mildly. I am so mad at Adobe for putting this piece of garbage out there. I can only compare it to Vista.
Oh by the way, I keep getting this notice that my" windows drivers are out of date" and guess what? I have no idea which ones because they don't say. I checked my updates and supposedly I am up to date. I went to Microsoft and they have a million, so how am I supposed to know which ones?
I am also upset at Microsoft, ha, ha.
I am going to bed, tomorrow will be another day.

Problem loading Compact Flash to PSE6

Never had a problem until today.
Loaded a SDHC (NEF files) no problem. Tried loading Compact Flash (NEF files) and got the following message:
"Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog".
The files are not already in the catalog and I was able to view the Compact Flash images in the camera so I know that they are on the card.
HELP!!!!

Do you have updated camera raw version installed? Which Nikon camera is it. You may try downloading the latest camera raw(ACR) version and replave the file in your plugin folder at your installed locatio. Let me know if that works.

Problems installing Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125.

Can not get my MacBook Pro 17" to install Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125. Our iMac installed it.
The system hangs forever looking for resources

Hopefully, you'll be installing the 14.0.0.145 Flash update very soon - however the same problem you experienced persists with that.
Fortunately there is a simple solution.
There appears to be a problem with Adobe Flash Player Install Manager - the simple answer is to let the system install the flash update instead:
When you use the Flash updater, it downloads a disk image to a temp folder (inside /private/var/folders but you don't need to know that). This is automatically mounted (briefly) while the app 'Adobe Flash Player Install Manager' launches. Adobe Flash Player Install Manager is supposed to manage the whole instillation but in some case it gets stuck. If this process fails for you (such as hanging on 95% completion), there is a very simple route forward which doesn't require you to open your browser or manually download anything.
It only requires 3 steps and you can be 100% sure you are getting the correct update - the one Adobe tried to install but failed. I've broken these down into detailed but very simple substeps (further down this post) for anybody who is unsure, but experienced users can probably just follow these three steps:
Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
Those steps in detail (as carried out in OSX 10.6.8).
1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player.pkg)
This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X - I use 10.6.8
