SWF file not working properly in Explorer

I have made a kind of slide show showing jpg images loaded
from the web in an swf file, and it will not work properly. It is
my first .swf application, and I am using the free downloadable
FlashObject.js to load the swf into the browser. The problem is
that it sometimes loads perfectly, while other times it will not
work at all! It is not the paths, because I have tried setting the
images in the same directory as the swf, and not importing the
image names thru flashVars. What drives me mad is that it works
consistently in Explorer, the first time I load it, and the first
time after I have cleared the temporary internet files. Otherwise
it will not load at all. In Firefox however, if randomly fails to
load about one time out of ten or something like that. The code is
compiled using the free downloadable compiler. Anyone have any idea
what may be wrong?

I may be late but better late then...

You can nest hundreds of layers as long as all symbols are graphics.
People try to use a Movie symbol and this is script executed.
I am animator on cartoon all done in flash and we have dozens or more NESTS!!!!

Trick to not crashing is in FLASH
Set publish settings to FLASH 8.
Never use FLASH 9 with Actionsscript 3... This adds a lot of instability.
1 of these swfs in a project could kill it.
I render SWF at 30fps at 1920x1080 then into AE, then scale down to SD wide screen resolution 720x480 16x9.. set scale to 45.5 x 44.5 percent.
I output final animation at Quicktime ANIMATION 100 millions of colors... 1.21 (16x9)audio added at 48k
I have hundreds of hours trying to make this work reliably and finally I got the mix.
Then I take QT to Premiere for final edit, audio and titles.
Good luck

Swf is not working properly when upload to server

I develop 1.swf which is having 3 buttons each one having
anather .swf to call 2.swf, 3.swf respectively.
This application is running perfectly on my PC, but
While uploading the swf to server the 2.swf and 3.swf is
not running. Can any one tell how to recover from this kind
of problem.

why is that we insist on seeing the source file ?
There is no one way of doing things in flash and no one can
help
you based on "does not work description".
This is way to broad of a subject to even try to guess.
Same as asking "my car does not work, what's up with
that"....
Please upload the problematic file and provide url for us to
check.
Otherwise you need to try to troubleshoot it yourself as we
can't
guess from here what possibly is wrong with that file.

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.

Flash Catalyst SWF file not working in Captivate 4

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version of Flash Catalyst to use in conjuction with Captivate (I don't know how to write code) so that I have scrolling text boxes in my project. Well, Flash Catalyst works as designed, but when I go to import the swf file into captivate, they don't play nice together. My project is in AS3, which is congruent with Flash Catalyst. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, or work arounds to get it to run would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I got your file, thanks! I have not tried it inside Captivate because I was not on the same machine were Captivate is installed. However, if you tried to use, in Captivate, the main.swf file located in the deploy-to-web folder than you will have some issues. The file in that folder is very lightweight because it will download at run-time the flex framework. Therefore, if the framework is not in the same location as the main.swf when captivate runs, the animation will not show up properly. So, if you copy the other swf and swz in the same folder were Captivate publishes, then it should work.
However, there is an easier way to do this. You have another folder called run-local. This folder contains a bigger main.swf file. This file already contains all the framework part in it. So, if you try to use this file instead, it should work inside Captivate.
Give this a try and let me know if it works out.

.swf file will work in Internet explorer but no other browser

my issue is that i have an .swf file that i loaded to the remote side of the server on the net, and when i try the link, the link appears to work, yet the flash movie will only play in Internet Explorer and no other browser. Why will this not play?
All my other flash bideos are loaded as .swf files as well and work perfectly. The only thing i can think of personally is we purchased a flash animation ( the ribbons you see falling ) and that may hvae some conflict issues in the coding, but all in all i dont see that being a problem when being published as an .swf file. I have made sure that my publish settings are the same as all my other movies, but still can not figure out why this one and only movie will not work, please help.
http://www.unicefusaecards.org/proofing/new_year_confetti3/ is the link to the flash animation the i am needing help with.

I just opened the webpages through Firefox and while on the page Firefox did not change I hit control F5 and it changed the page. Thank you so much. It is now up to date on my computer also.

SWF animations not working properly when exported as PDF from InDesign

I'm using InDesign CS5 and have created a document that I want to add interactivity and animations to. I've created buttons and page destionations, etc, which all work perfectly when exported to a PDF but the simple animation that I wanted to include don't work. The animations have been created in InDesign then selection exported as a SWF file and then imported and placed in InDesign and then exported as an interactive PDF where the animations either don't work, haven't been picked up or don not work as they should. What am I doing wrong, how do I get the animations to work correctly?

Problem: text fade in/out in swf-file not working correctly

Hello to all,
this is my first post.
I work in a printing company and we want to administrate now our website by our own and
we have bought now Dreamweaver CS4 and Flash CS4 for Mac. My Flash skill-level is "Beginner",
but I am OK with simple tweenings, using symbols and that.
I have done an advertisment banner for the home, 550x290 px, background-pictures
and headlines fading in and out, later until the end there are three subheadlines for pricing details.
The published swf-file works absolutely fine on my Mac, and also
embedded in the site in Safari and Opera.
Before uploading I wanted to check in IE and Opera on a Windows-PC
and now there is the problem:
the first headline does not fade in, it suddenly just appears.
The second headline fades in the place of the first, when the first one is
fading out. So now, for a second the text is appearing above each other and
both neither fade in nor fade out.
The three subheadlines later start one by one, and they work fine and fade in
and out correctly. All pictures fade in and out correctly, too.
What could that be?
I`ve just installed the newest flash-player on the Windows-PC and
the problem is still there when I open the swf-file or when I embed it in the website.
I would be deeply grateful for any hint.
Thanks!

Hi!
The difference was, the headline property was accidentally "dynamic text", the subheadlines were static.
I missed that.
Before changing that now in the fla-file I checked the old one on differrent company macs,
the problem is only one a few macs, say one of ten had the problem I watched.
I think now, that must be just bad luck or it is a player problem.
Allow me the question please:
should I use dynamic text or static (then I cannot embed the font, the option dispappears then
in the Properties-panel).
Thanks again!

Swf file not displaying properly on webpage

Flash Player version 9.0.115.0
Website designed with Dreamweaver 4, Flash 5
IExplorer version 7.0.5730.11
Windows XP Pro
When I preview (using IExplorer 7) in Dreamweaver 4 and
Dreamweaver 8, the swf file looks fine, however, when I go to my
website page, the swf has a white background instead of the green
background it should have.
I do not know if this is an IExplorer 7 problem, MSN Explorer
problem, or flash player problem. My husband has IExplorer 7 and
the Flash player 9.0.115.0 on his computer and it does the same
thing. The computers at our computer centre are using IExplorer 7
and MSN explorer, but I think the flash player is 8 (not absolutely
sure on that - will have to check when I can get there). When I go
to my website there, the swf files look as they should. The site I
am talking about is
http://dodgecoveartsguild.com
The coding I have for one of the swf's file is:
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="225" height="75">
<param name=movie value="star.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="star.swf" quality=high pluginspage="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="225" height="75">
</embed>
</object></div>
The fla/swf files are at the root directory of the site
How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

How do you know if your table and column attributes are correct?
If I put a static graphic in the Flash file area, it looks fine.

Swf files not loading properly

Hello, I'm new to Flash and recently downloaded the trial to make a few things to add to my website. Nothing too complex, I made a slideshow of images and turned some images into buttons. Either way, after I publish the files and import the swf files into Dreamweaver, I always get a flash player error when I try to look at the content on my website. It will tell me that I need to update my flash player to 11.2. I've downloaded 11.2 multiple times, reinstalled flash player, and made sure that I do indeed have the correct version of flash player on this computer. Just to ensure that it wasn't a problem with my laptop, I checked with a different computer as well and it had the same problem.
Is this a problem because I'm trying to create content with the trial version? Or am I just doing something wrong? After I create whatever I'm making in Flash, I save it, publish it, and import the .swf file into Dreamweaver.

As far as the trial version being the source of the problem goes, it is not likely because the trialversion is a fully functional version without restrictions on use.
What might be part of the problem could be allowing Dreamweaver to embed the Flash content into the web page rather than using the code that Flash will generate for embedding.
What you should do is publish an html page via Flash (set it up in the Publish Settings) and test that html page to see if you have the same issue. If not, copy the code from that page and use it in place of whatever Dreamweaver created for it.

.swf files not viewing properly

I am trying to place a .swf file that was made on a PC into my keynote document. All I am getting is a tall black column with type in it. This file works fine in power point but I would like to use Keynote for this presentation. Can anyone help?

Try opening the .swf file with the QuickTime Player. If it won't play in QuickTime, it won't play in Keynote.

New movies files not working properly

Hello,
I have a new all in one HP pc with Windows 8. I have completed all pc updates and including latest Java. I have downloaded Itunes 12 and imported my old Itunes library from my network drive. My itunes library was created on an XP system and I still have it mapped to my Network Drive as it is 2TB in size.
The library contents are all fine and everything works. My problem is now any new movies m4v, mp4 which I import does not work. Itunes will upload the files, which then appear in the Home Video section. When I try to add artwork, or move file into 'movies' or even play the film Itunes goes into 'Not Responding' and I have to shut it down from from task menu. This issues only occurs with new movies. New music is fine.
I have tried to use alternative compatibility option none of these work.
Does anybody know how I can get my new movie content to work? btw the files are good as I have tried them on another system and they work just fine.
Thanks

anybody have any ideas?

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.

Links in pdf file not working properly (in Acrobat Reader)

Hello everybody
I'm converting a book I wrote from mobi to pdf with Calibre. While formatting the document, I used some html, including a few links between different parts of the same document.
However, when I test the pdf document in Acrobat and I click on links, they always send me about a page before of what I marked with the a name attribute... This doesn't happen when I try the book on the calibre pdf reader...
I've been looking around but can't find why. I've checked my book on mobi, and everything is OK there. This only seems to happen on the document itself on with the way Acrobat reads it.
Any ideas or explanations?
Thanks!

You might want to check with Calibre about the issue. If you had Acrobat you could reset the bookmarks. Since Adobe created the initial PDF document standard, I have seen this in PS files where bookmarks were placed on a page before any content was placed on the page. The bookmark was in the limbo area were a page might not exist if no content were added to the page.

Loading an External SWF Files not working

Hello,
So I have a project I am working on in which I would like to teach how to cash a scratch off card. I have made the scratch and made it so it will "scratch"
Before:                                                                                                                                               After:
Now I have saved this out and am trying to load this into my "holder" however I am getting an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

nextPG_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nClick);
lastPG_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, lClick);
function nClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    nextFrame();

    gotoAndStop(3);
var mcExt:MovieClip;

    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
    mcExt.x = 50;
    mcExt.y = 50;
    addChild(mcExt);
What am I doing wrong?
Is it because of my coding in the External SWF?

import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, uhOhError);
function uhOhError(e:Event):void
     trace(e);
     // probably put some visual text field here to display the error
Aside that, on the first block of code mentioned, is that a frame script or running from somewhere in a class? If in a class and it doesn't extend a display object then you can't addChild(mcExt) without erroring.
