.SWF doesn't play in website

Hi, I am using Flash 5. I need to save my flash .swf to play on a website. I went into Publish settings and selected Flash player 9 and Actionscript 3. I then exported the .swf and .html.
Animation Doesn’t Play
I then placed the .swf in Dreamweaver using Dreamweavers .swf plugin. When I previewed the page in my browser the sound played but the animation didn’t. What a I missing?
Animation Play Button
Also, can someone please tell me the best way to have my .swf not play until the user clicks’ play. Is there a setting to get a start arrow like a Quicktime mov.? or do I need to set it up myself?
Thanks

Does the html page that Flash publushed work okay? USe the codee from that file if it does, DW is not a reliable source for embedding Flash content.
You will need to build in your own controls to have something clickable that plays the file.

SWF doesn't play with alpha channel

I have a 500Kb FLV file that plays as a progressive download through a 12Kb SWF. This FLV was encoded using On2 VP6 codec to maintain alpha data. This is a logo animation for a website so it is essential that the video plays with alpha channel intact. Just to make sure my animation had an alpha channel, I brought it into After Effects to test with a colored background behind it and sure enough, the alpha channel was there, perfect!
Now in Dreamweaver, when I tested, the FLV plays through the SWF, as it should. However, there is a white square around my video now and the alpha channel is lost.
I even made sure to select Wmode "transparent" and double-checked my code and saw that I had the correct tag <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
View my site at http://www.customchromefx.com
I have played many embedded SWF's with alpha's before. I think the FLV still has the alpha, and the problem is in the SWF that plays the FLV that is giving me the white box? Is there a way around this, perhaps a transparent SWF player or something? Thank you for viewing...

Okay, so I figured out a way to make my compressed FLV video play with alpha.
I imported into Flash. Checked the box to "Embed FLV in SWF" and clicked next, and Finish. I made sure the stage area and FPS was set to the same settings as the FLV video.
In publish settings I used Flash 9,then un-checked compress movie and Published. This new SWF maintained the same file size as the FLV, while also playing with the alpha channel.
I then imported the SWF into Dreamweaver, and set Wmode to "transparent."
I now have a 45 second video (originally a 115Mb quicktime) squeezed down to a measly 500Kb SWF that also has an alpha channel. Sweet!

The embeded swf doesn't play...

Hi
I'm trying to embed a swf that was created with a flash gallery making program into a pdf file but it just never works properly. I've also tried converting it into pdf but that doesn't work either. Once I convert it/embed it all I see is a white/black square. However if I embed other smaller swfs most of them just work fine. Could the problem be that the swf is too large? Can anybody please figure out the problem? I've been trying everything for the past 3 days and I'm awfully desperate Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

Acrobat and OS make no difference, but the version of Flash Player that the gallery targets will make a difference - Acrobat and Adobe Reader currently won't play content designed for Flash Player 11.
The other problem can arise when the gallery is using external assets (image files, XML configuration files, etc.) as these must be available after embedding. You should attach them using the Resources tab on the Rich Media Annotation dialog box (right-click your embedded SWF in Acrobat and choose Properties), but if the gallery is written to expect certain folder structures it may not like being sandboxed inside a PDF file.

Swf file wont play from httpserver, windows opens up but doesn't play, but works fine from SunOne

We currently migrating over to http server from SunOne web server. When you run the launch.html file an additional browser window opens but the swf doesn't not start playing.
The new http server is using exactly the same doc root as SunOne.

Firefox doesn't play embedded swf

I've looked on many forums, including Firefox, with no real answer. Running Firefox 4. It just doesn't play embedded SWF. My Adobe Flashplayer is up to date, so is the plugin. The page displays properly. But the area that should be displaying a movie is just represented by a tiny square. No error message appears. The same page doesn't show the movie in IE9 either.
Now from looking at the page information, it just requires Flashplayer 6 and above for the SWF area. I do have Flashplayer 10. The plugin says Shockwave Flash player 10 is up to date. Many other pages with different types of embedded movies play properly.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Flash Player Doesn't Play on Some Websites. I have the NSZ-GS7 Sony Internet with Google Tv/play

Flash Player Doesn't Play on Some Websites. I can see the play button and volume etc but selecting play doesnt do anything on some websites. I have the NSZ-GS7 Sony Internet Player with Google Tv/Google Play. I installed the latest firmware and I believe it carries Flashplayer 10.2.164.113
I can only watch some programs on au.tv.yahoo.com/plus7 . This website supports Flashplayer 10+ and also supports Google Play. So I do not understand why I cant watch. Do I just need to change some settings?
Also, cant watch on www.jump-in.com.au/ and I can see a still image of the video, i can see the big play button in the middle but selecting it will not do anything.
Please help

Hi Mike, Thanks for your response. Alteast you were able to give me a more educated answer. Unlike Sony Tech Support.
I typed chrome://plugins" in the address bar but that didnt do anything and just gave me blank white screen.
I did manage to get into the settings for Google Chrome another way and found the Plugins window but there was no option to "Always Allow". The only option I had was to either Enable or Disable.
I read something somewhere about changing a setting for the Unsandboxed plugin to "Always Allow". But I havent been able to get to this plugin in the setting options in Chrome.
Looks like I will be returning the product and getting myself an Apple TV device instead and use my Iphone to Airplay.
Thanks

My ipad2 doesn't play the games in the ceebeebies website any ideas, My ipad2 doesn't play the games in the ceebeebies website any ideas

My ipad2 doesn't play the games in ceebeebies website

The games are most likely flash-based, and flash is not supported on the iPad. Have you checked to see if any of the games have their own apps in the iTunes app store ?
Also the Photon Browser says :
Photon Browser allows you to play Flash games such as free Facebook games, use Flash apps, listen to music streamed via Flash player and watch Flash video.
As its reviews are mixed it probably doesn't work on all sites

Aggregator project doesn't play content well

Good morning,
I created eight separate projects which I combined into an aggregator project called "Video Tutorials". I published the aggregator project into a zip file so that I can send it to our IT department. They downloaded the zip file and uploaded the main link ("Video Tutorials.swf") onto our website. All eight videos play but all visual elements such as buttons, captions, don't appear. I only see the video I captured and hear the audio.
What could be the issue?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Vincent

The IT department uploaded all files and linked the HTML and not SWF and it still doesn't play right.
I also noticed that there is a "loading" symbol in the middle of each page (see screenshot below).
We also tried to link a PDF. It does load, but because the file is "large" (only 60 MB), it doesn't show the entire screen (see second screenshots).
What should we try?

Swf file not playing in browser

I have a problem with a swf file which will not play in web browser.
It played fine until I updated my site. I therefore suspected a pathing issue within dreamweaver and looked thorugh that forum for an answer.
I tried typing the absolute path to the swf file in the browser address bar and found it straight away. When I clicked on it the screen stayed blank.
I checked the path to the file and the flv file was relative to the document and not the site.
swf plays fine in flash player, flash, and locally on dreamweaver.
I moved the swf up the file tree and changed the links accordingly but still would not play.
I also tried saving it as a new swf from flash, but that doesn't play either.
I added another swf to the containing folder and that played fine in the browser.
When I open the fla file in flash it only shows a flv playback movie, not the elements, I think this is because it was created in after effects.
Here is the link to the containing folder, the swf file is Home_page_movie_V2.swf
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01 Home
I have other swf files playing fine and this swf played ok originally so I still think it's a pathing problem but I am not that savvy on flash and cannot figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, just bear in mind my low level of ability.
Thanks
Stuart

The .swf is loading just fine... but it is expecting to load a .flv video file.
The path inside the .swf to the .flv file is not correct. The path inside the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the .swf as it's located on the Web page, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
Here is the absolute address of the .flv:
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01%20Home/Home%20V1.flv
Here is a test player using that address:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/flash/cidm_simple_vid_player.html
So unless your .swf is broken, it just a pathing issue.
From an old post:
Pathing issues
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.

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.

Video in swc doesn't play audio

Hi, I have a flv on the timeline. When I export a swf the audio plays. When I export a swc and instantiate the movie clip that houses the flv on the timeline, the audio doesn't play. Is there something I should look for to fix this? Any tips?
cheers.

I too, found that A3 Slideshow to be very cumbersome... I gave up and went back to iMovie. Much better and quicker, especially adding music and "knowing" exactly where the music will start and end. My daughter's wedding was last week and I wanted to show quick shots of the 'happenings', using A3 slideshow (bad mistake). I was totally embarrassed; songs overplayed to the wrong location and played songs that were previously deleated (and they didn't show up as songs to be played, go figure). Anyway, iMovie was and is so much better. A3 slideshow process needs to be worked on.

Youtube has stop working properly, just goes to the end and doesn't play. Firefox ver. 30.0

I've been using Youtube fine for years in Firefox but all of a sudden yesterday videos doesn't play right from Youtube in Firefox. The video tries to load for a bit then just goes to the end and if I click the play button it's stuck in endless loading.
It seems to be only a Youtube plus Firefox related problem. Dailymotion and other flash videos from other websites loads right and I can load Youtube videos in Internet Explorer just fine.
I've tried many methods in the search related threads here in the support section and they were of no help. I've uninstalled and reinstall Flash multiple times. I'm truly lost now on what to do here. I would like to continue using Firefox as my main browser.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
