SWF does not play after publish.... OS compatibility bug?

I have embedded SWFs that will not play once the Presenter file is published. They appear to be "frozen" on the first frame.
Here's the setup:
The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
They are not Captivate files.
PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64bit
BUT, I can open the same file on another computer with this setup, and it publishes just fine.
The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
They are not Captivate files.
PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
Microsoft Windows Vista Business
The only difference appears to be my OS. Does anyone know of any bugs with Presenter in Windows 7?
UPDATE:
As I type this, literally, I got a notice that there's a Presenter 7.0.6 Update. So I went ahead and installed it on the Windows 7 box. Republished the Presenter course, and wouldn't you know it... the SWFs are now playing!
The patch says this: The Adobe® Presenter 7.0.6 update resolves Adobe Presenter's compatibility issues with PowerPoint 2010 and some important issues identified in Adobe Presenter 7.0.5 (Although the patch site doesn't bother providing us with a list of what those important issues are! Thanks Adobe, you rock.)
--- Well, it fixes MY issue for Windows 7/Presenter 7/PowerPoint 2007 too.

See the updated within the post. Installing the 7.0.6 patch was the fix.

Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

Hello b noir.
Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
Apple representative did not know why this happened.
Thanks.

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:
http://validator.w3.org/
Notice what is says about the first (IE targeted) <object>.
Best wishes,

Placed .swf does not play correctly

I have placed a .swf on a page. When exported to pdf the movie does not play correctly. It plays correctly before being placed. I used flash cs4 actionscript 3 to create the .swf.
I have selected the highest level for pdf when exporting.

ok! I figured it out. This is what is happening. Apparently when you place a .swf in indesign and make a button on the page to show the movie when clicked and then export to pdf -- there is a time delay from the time you click on the button and the movie starts to play in a floating window. Its just a few frames of 24 fps movie but that is enought for whatever gaget that reads the movie to miss the first few frames.
So in effect any info in the first few frames is not read. So i had a stop on the first frame that was not being read. I put the stop on frame 7 and now it plays just like I had hoped.
I hope this helps anybody else out that has had a similar problem.

11.0.5.5 64-bit on Win 8: music does not play after update

Recently prompted to update itunes software to 11.0.5.5 64-bit (Win 8). Did so and now music does not play. Music library is correct but when I select a song and then push the "play" triangle itunes says it is playing but tracker does not move off of "0:00". Any ideas?

The issue is probably not the machine you purchased the music on. The issue is very likely the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
It sounds like the music being skipped on your iPhone 5 was purchased with some Apple ID that is not currently authorized in the iTunes (on your computer) that you sync to. So you should go to that computer, open iTunes, do Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu, enter that Apple ID and password, then sync your iPhone 5 to that iTunes.

FLV File does not play when published to my web server

Hi. I have created a short video in VC3 and selected the FLV option to create a web page. When I uploaded the entire file content to my web server (windows 2003 server hosted at Network Solutions) the FLV file will not play. Now... if I do the same with a WMV tile, the video plays.
You can view the file at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/va_education/VATutorials/index.htm
We have another video published in WMV format, although the video vs audio sync is out of wack at the moment, at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/Energy%20Pricing%20101/index.htm
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again
You should probably double-check to ensure the standard.js file was also copied in when the HTML page was imported. It should be there but it never hurts to double check.
You might also perform a double-check to ensure things ended up in the correct folder (if you are organizing your project into folders). It could be that you moved the HTML page into a different folder and orphaned the JavaScript file.
Cheers... Rick

Attachments "paper clip" does not appear after publishing

I am using Adobe Presenter 7.07 with PowerPoint 2007 and 2010, and have attached several links and documents to the Presenter presentation. The attachments are viewable in Presenter Settings.
However, once the presentation is published in PDF, the paper clip does not appear for access to the attachments. The result is the same when expanding the player view.
Please help!!

The attachement function is not available when publishing to PDF.

Site does not appear after Publishing

Since the switch over to the dreadful MobileMe, every time I update and re-publish my site, the content does not appear when visiting the site. Is it me, or is it yet more issues with these appalling MobileMe servers?
If anyone else is encountering the same problem let me know and if you have found a way round this.

I have the same problem. My about me page and picture page is gone when i try visiting my site. I think I screwed it up.
this is the main address: http://web.me.com/liaqb/Lias_Page/Welcome.html
and this is the other site that it showed up on.
file:///iweb%20site/Lias_Page/Welcome.html
Here's the problem... on the first address, the only ones showing up are the welcome page, blog page, and videos page.
on the second site, everything shows up. how do I get it all back on the first site address?

SWF Does not Play

I am having a problem getting an inserted SWF to play.
The movie plays fine in Flash 8.
If I publish it from Flash 8 the HTML verion plays fine.
If I export to SWF the generated SWF work fine.
When I insert the SWF "Insert - Medi - Shockwave" in DW8 I
can't get it to run in Dreamweaver (i.e. the play button turns the
swf blank) and it won't play when published using FTP.
Can anyone help.
Thanks.

Thanks for your response - I tried this but didn't work
either, however, it prompted me to try something else that did
work.
I had the SWF file in another (assets) directory which was
referenced in DW8 - I changed this so that the SWF file was in the
same directory as the html file and this worked. Why it didn't see
the reference to the other directory I don't know?
HI

Captivate 3/4 SWF does not play

When I create a Captivate demo, whether it is in Cap3 or 4 and publish it (SWF, zip file, full screen, Flash 7) and send it to others on my team, many of them cannot open the file. I have no idea why I can run it but they cannot. After I loaded IE 7 I was unable to get a SWF file to run either, but (don't know if this had anything to do with it) after I loaded the Sun Java applet I could run it again.
I am certain these folks have Flash player loaded.
This problem also goes to our customers who cannot play the file from an LMS or a RightNow database containing swf demos created in Captivate...our only solution is to publish to .exe but some customers are reticent to open this type of file.
What else could be the problem?
I looked in this Forum but could not find the answer.
Thank you for your help.

Hi there
It depends on how you are trying to do things. If you are sending only a raw SWF, it may not be properly associated in Windows so that Windows knows what to do with it when the user runs it.
The looming question here is to ask if that's what you are doing. This is one of the few different reasons Captivate normally creates an HTML page when you publish output.

Videos Not Playing After Publishing

I am using Captivate 7 for Mac and uploading to the Litmos LMS platform. In preview, my videos are playing just fine. When I publish to zip and uploading to Litmos, they don't play. I get a little grey/white striped box making it look like it's loading, but nothing ever loads. This is super frustrating and I don't know the fix. I'd love to hear ideas on how to make this work - or at least ways I can troubleshoot.

Make sure your video files are placed in the same publish directory as the main SWF and that the link to these videos consists of nothing but the video filename. The video filename should contain no spaces or punctuation characters and should ideally be all lower case. Then after uploading to your LMS, make sure that the LMS administrator can confirm videos of this mime-type have been explicitly allowed on the LMS web server.

SWF does not play in Dreamweaver

For the record, I'm new to Dreamweaver and Flash, but not graphic design. I'm helping out a nonprofit group with their already existing website that requires changes for a conference they are hosting. The plan is to have the title of the conference slowly appear on the screen in a golden color. My idea to accomplish was the following:
1. I imported a video into Flash of gold dust falling lightly and then more heavily (found at iStockPhoto, #13491985 if you want to take a look).
2. On a new layer, the title of the conference was set up.
3. Then I masked the text layer over the video.
4. Tested the movie and it looks awesome! The text slowly fills up with the gold dust and the rest of the movie that is playing is hidden.
5. Exported to SWF for import into Dreamweaver.
PROBLEM:
After placing the SWF file onto the home page in Dreamweaver, the SWF plays as a white box (which, incidentally is the color of the Flash stage). That's it, no gold dust and no text appears.
I'm sure more details are necessary to help me out, so please ask. We are under a time crunch. I'm going to post this on the Flash Forum as well.
Thanks!
Sherri

I would like to share the Flash and/or SWF file. Given that I'm new to the coding of these two software packages, I would imagine the solution is an easy one. Is there a way to post files to the forum? Maybe I can find a way to place it on the web somewhere for the file to be downloaded in hopes that someone from the forum could take a look. Any suggestions on how best to approach this? Thanks!

Skin plays fine but swf does not play at all...

I have tried everything and now have simply exhausted my
resources...
Video plays fine in flash cs3 pro, but when I attempt to get
it to play online (using the swfobject.js script), the skin plays
(motion in the seek bar - incessant), but not the video.
[Incidentally, the exact same thing happens when I use the
video1.html file, for what it's worth].
When I replace the video file with so_tester.swf, it plays
properly. This tells me that the html (included below) is right,
but that there is something wrong with the video itself. I tried
Import To Stage, Import Video, and Import To Library, to no avail.
I tried Publish, and Export Movie, to no avail. The flv was made by
exporting from QuickTime. Could that be the problem?
Uploaded to the server are: index.html (see below),
video1.html (not sure if this is needed), video.swf, swfobject.js,
expressinstall.swf, SkinOverAll.swf, and AC_RunActiveContent.js.
I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out. If
someone could please help, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Here is the entire html of the index page:
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="generator" content="Adobe GoLive">
<title> title</title>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js"
language="javascript"></script>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #ffcc99;
background-image: url('
http://www.yoursite/pathToImage.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="position: absolute; top: 50%;display:
table-cell; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; width:
100%; padding: 0;">
<div id="flashcontent">
<strong>You need the latest Flash Player, and
Javascript enabled to view this content.</strong>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("video1.swf", "myMovie", "NewWidth",
"NewHeight", "8", "#ffcc99");
so.useExpressInstall('expressinstall.swf');
so.addParam('wmode','transparent');
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Never mind. I figured it out. Used component inspector to
solidify the source of the video, and that worked.

Quicktime not playing after publishing page

I have a 13MB .mov quicktime which plays fine not only in iWeb and on its own, but plays when I put it loose in the Site folder and direct the browser to it, however when I add it to my site via iWeb and then publish, it shows up with a question mark over the quicktime. All my other movies with the same format play just fine, except for this one:
http://web.mac.com/jamin.duncan/iWeb/Site/BestBuy_Holiday4.html
if you remove the /BestBuy_Holiday4.html which is the iWeb html file and add /BBY_Pickup.mov it will play fine.
It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I think my problem may be related.
I have all the latest versions of everything.
I used iWeb to create and publish my site, took a week of trying with repetitive errors, finally successful.
However, some of the videos on my website only show a big blue "Q" with a question mark inside, and cannot play the video. The other videos show a "TV screen" with the beginning of the video displayed, I can click play and they play. But the problem of some videos just showing the "Q" confuses me. Thoughts?
I read the suggestion to look inside the Media folder to see if the movie file is there, but I don't know what this si or where to find it!

Swf does not play in web page

In Dreamweaver I tested this flash movie by Previewing in
Browser and it worked fine. But on the internet, nothing!
Why?
http://www.dittydaddys.com/test-flash.html
Here's the embedded swf file
http://www.dittydaddys.com/title01.swf

Here's the code from the page:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
And not only doesn't it play the swf, there's no reference to
it at all on the web page.
