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

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 file not playing in flash player

Hello All
I am working on this project for a client, suddenly no-one can get the SWF file to play.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByWDl-PaRWIFY0c1SnEwbUNraUE&usp=sharing
The file is there.
If anyone can help please do.
I know this file works. It must be an update or something?
Please Please Help

If you've lost the source to your SWF files, there are a number of SWF decompilers available. You may be able to decompile the SWF and then recompile the project using a current compiler. It's worth a shot anyway.
A cursory Google search turned up a few candidates (free and paid), but I don't have much experience with any of them.

Why does the audio in my .SWF file not play in a Browser?

I created an .swf file using ffmpeg, containing H.264 video and MP3 audio. The file plays perfectly in VLC but not in a Browser (Chrome/IE). I tried analyzing the file using a trial version of Flash decompiler. Again, only the video plays. The strange thing is that if I extract the MP3 from the file, it plays perfectly using any of th eplayers. It seems to be a muxing issue which VLC apparently handles, but not the player in the browser! Why? Thanks for any pointers.

Yeah. Sorry to say this but many people buy the various brands of format converters, which are everywhere on the Web and which also spam these boards – and often find they are not only out the purchase price but that the app created as many problems as it solved.

Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You're not using the full URL to the file.
You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
"http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

Flash .swf file not appearing in browser when publishing from iWeb 3.02

I have been working on a site for the last couple of months that i created in iWeb 2.0 and had successfully had small flash movies that I embedded via html snippets from code provided by numerous sources and youtube videos demonstrating how to get flash movies into one's site.
The url is
www.almafoods.com
Today i upgraded to 3.02 and had to make a change to the home page. The domain opened up fine with all the HTML code and .swf on the page exactly as I had it in version 2.0
When I now publish to a folder, first of all it doesn't copy over the .swf file unless I create a link to the file, but even when I upload all the directories to my ISP's remote server, the movie isn't not showing up in the browser. The html code file and .swf file are in their correct directories on my ISP's remote server
I'm baffled as to what is going on here as its the exact same domain that worked perfectly in 2.0 and this has peed me off no end
Does anyone have any suggestions or encountered the same problem in 3.02?
Any advice would be very much appreciated

Your .swf files are in the same folder as the widget-markup files.
Keep your custom files OUTSIDE the folder with the sitename iWeb creates.
iWeb will overwrite everything when it needs to do that, wiping out your custom files.
Put the files in a separate folder and determine the link to these files.
Read this : Using the iWeb HTML Snippet
Besides that, to display these tiny pictures I wouldn't use Flash.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

SWF file not playing in dreamweaver

I have an SWF file on my homepage that used to work just fine, now all the sudden it does not work in preview or when I upload it (I have not changed the file in anyway.)

Incidentally, spaces in folder & filenames should be avoided on the web. You can safely use hyphens - or underscores _ but no spaces or special characters ($#%^&*).

External .swf files not playing, or showing up

Hello All,
I'm a bit confused. I have created a video interface (vidPlayer.swf) file, and am calling on external .swf's (movieName.swf), which contain paths to the original .flv files (movieName.flv) that are to play. The navigation lives on the the main interface file (vidPlayer.swf). This works fine when I'm publishing locally from my system, or if I upload it to a remote server, and play it on my computer. When another individual attempts to either (a.) play it from the server on their system, or (b.) publish it to the web for it's intended use, the interface appears and the loader performs when video track is selected, but the video never plays. Only on my system does it work. Even from a remote server, it plays on my system.
I have not wrapped my head completely around AS3 yet, so I'm using deprecated script. On the main interface swf (vidPlayer.swf) I have the following script controlling the loader ( I also use this same loading script for the external video swf's):
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);
function preloader(){
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()){
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);}
loadBar_mc._xscale = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal())*100;
loader_txt.text=Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100)+"%";
On the navigation buttons (tracks), I have the following script (there are 14 tracks total, so the content varies between load and unload content):
on (release){
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("02-systemAdministration.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("03-gatewaySetUp.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("04-homePage.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("05-addUser.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("06-changePasswordOrPermission.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("07-inventorySetUp.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("08-storageContainer.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("09-addDeicingOperator.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("10-orderCryotechProducts.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("11-recordDelivery.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("12-adjustInventory.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("13-deicingLog.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("14-PTOCClog.swf");
_root.gotoAndStop(11);
mc_videoPlayer.loadMovie("01-firstLogin.swf");
I have all the .swf's (movieName.swf), .flv's (movieName.flv) and main interface .swf (vidPlayer.swf) in the same folder, so there shouldn't be any missing directory paths.
I don't know what's going on! I have this set up exactly as a previouse project, using the same interface, scripting and file directory, and it words perfectly from any system, being hosted from anywhere.
Can anyone help????

*swf file not playing whilst it had in the past, what is wrong?

I used several *swf files on my site that always worked well. All the sudden they don't. Updated FireFox to version 4, they still don't work. Flash PlugIn is fine, flash plays in everything BUT FireFox.
You may have a look at www.DiveLux.lu then choose Gallery and in the frame one of the swf files. It doesn't work for me or my friends. None of us changed anything (site didn't change either) but it doesn't work anymore.
Anything I can do?
Best regards,

Podcast Audio Files Not Playing In Browser

I have a music podcast on my site, built by iWeb8. On my last podcast addition I published to folder and opened the site from the folder on my machine. Everything was fine except the browser would not play the MP3 files (VBR) of the podcast. I can open and play these files with quicktime but it does not work when viewing via the browser.
These files also play in iWeb.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I think that everybody but Apple agrees that QuickTime is not the best way to play audio files on the internet.
The statistics show that over 90% of surfers have flash.
If you're having problems with Firefox, what chance have you got with IE?
iWeb '08 coverts your MP3 files to .MOV.
'09 seems to have addressed this issue.
I stopped using QT about a year ago. This simple flash player is easy to implement and has the advantage of buffering....

SWF file not showing in browser

Hi all,
I have inserted a swf file into a webpage in dreamweaver CS5 that needs to have a transparent background.
I have done all the necessary things in flash and set the "wmode" to "transparent" in the parameters section in DW.
This is where the problem arises. It displays with an opaque backbround but when I change it to transparent it disappears completely.
here is the offending page:
http://www.makeupbydoll.com/
I had the same thing working on a previous version of the site but can't seem to resolve this issue.
Any assistance much appreciated!
~Alister~

Looks like your swfobject embed method is not working correctly. Turn off swfobject and test again without it.
In the <head> just rename the swfobject file so that it won't load.... easy to change.. test... change back again:
Change this:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
to this:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified_off.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you'll see I just appended "_off" to the file name, then save and test the page... quick and easy way to turn off that file... then test again.
Best wishes,

Thanks for the information about Flash no longer being the best or contemporary way to design web sites. This shows me how long I've been away from designing them.
I will redesign my web site in Dreamweaver very soon, as I would like it to play on iOS devices.
But at the moment I would just like to see my Flash page working in a browser.
I have inserted my Flash page in to Dreamweaver, and new code has been automatically added. But still the navigation button doesn't work.

Quicktime files not playing in browser

Please help...
I have now started publishing my website to my domain name instead of mobile me and the quicktime movies embedded on the pages no longer play. Instead there is just a quicktime symbol with a question mark. Why and how can I fix it?
Get the same message whether I download my site through safari or IE.
My website is www.danavideoproductions.co.uk if looking helps.
Sample page has links to 4 other pages, each with a clip that I dragged and dropped onto my iweb pages before publishing with Classic FTP.
Many thanks for the help.

I couldn't view any videos on the sample page using the latest versions of Safari and Firefox. One of the photos, I think it was the I'll be there for you picture, I did get a Youtube screen with the message "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" on both browsers.
I do have the latest Flash Player. Could be a coding problem you are having. I do not know anything about setting up a web page. Just thought I'd let you know what I saw when viewing your site.

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

SWF File not working after upload to server, but works on local system

HELP PLEASE.....I have created a Fla and exported a swf file
from Flash 8 and Export (Flash 6). I can preview the page in
Dreamweaver just fine, but when i upload it and the html file, it
isn't showing up. It leaves a blank spot on the page. It is just a
simple banner with graphic clips and motion tween text, with image
bgd. All images are jpg.
I have tried:
1. Using a full link to the swf file.
2. Removed drop-shodows in swf file
3. convert to Flash mx 2004 file
4. Exported to higher Flash version to see if the flash
player was an issue.
5. Exported with no dashes in name
6. Added Scr file into Dreamweaver
7. Made a new test file to see if it was something in the
current html doc, same result.
8. Tried viewing on a pc, same result. Created on mac.
Here is the test page if anyone wants to take a look.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
Test
Page Link

The link you provided is to the SWF file, not to an HTML
file, so no one can test your HTML file.
Have you checked the code for the embedding of the SWF file
in your HTML file? I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I do know that
if you start assembling a Dreamweaver file without first saving the
HTML, embedded graphics and other items are inserted as direct
links to the files on your computer, rather than as relative paths.
There is one other possible issue: I note that your swf is
called CWABanner.swf. Depending on your FTP settings, it is
possible that your server is forcing all file names to lower case
(a common practice). Which means the file on your server will be
cwabanner.swf. Again, depending on how the web server is set up, if
it is case sensitive, it will treat CWABanner and cwabanner as
separate files. So if the HTML calls CWABanner.swf, but the FTP
upload has forced a rename to lower case to cwabanner.swf, the HTML
file will not find it. Check this out, or to be absolutely certain,
rename everything to lower case: the file name itself and the
reference in the HTML file.
