Bottom bar in flash player is all black - no controls!

I'm put up a file at:
http://shmuelkatz.com/expt3.htm
And it does play my video, but the bottom bar of the flash player is all black.  Normally I would expect at least what youtube shows - which is a start button, a pause button, a 'maximize' button, and so forth.  But its all black.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gid

I should add that I have been told that I'm doing everything correctly, and that I should switch away from using Flash to using the competing products instead.  I don't want to do that, because Flash is the standard, and my users might not want to download competing products that they never heard of. There seems to be no way to contact Adobe on this, since its not a paid-for product, but rather is a universally distributed free product.

  • Is there a way to have one flash player play all moives on a web page ?

    Hi,
      Is there a way to have one flash player play all movies on a web page ?   For example, you have a list of FLV movies on a page and you click on any them and it will play on the same player on the web page. Or does each movie needs it's own ?
    Thanks in advance..
    Peter

    Yes, for the design I made, the movies are loaded from the server.  Here is the code for the design.  It is done using AS2, and the stage includes two buttons (s1, s2) for playing the individual videos, one button to play them both (playall), one after the other, and the video object (video1_video) that was added via small menu you find at the top of the library panel's frame.
    I cannot say this would work directly for your implementation, but it gives you some things you can look into so that you can figure out how.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    // ignore whatever code is above this... the forum added it, not me  
    stop();
    ncount = -1;
    var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    connection_nc.connect(null);
    var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
    stream_ns.setBufferTime(3);
    stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
            for (var prop in infoObject) {
                   if(infoObject[prop] == "NetStream.Play.Stop" && ncount == 0){
                       video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
                       stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
                       ncount += 1;
    playall.onRelease = function(){
          ncount = 0;
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
    s1.onRelease = function(){
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
    s2.onRelease = function(){
          ncount = -1;
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
    I don't deal with video very often, so I have not created an AS3 version of this.

  • Pluggin container makes flash player crash. all is up to date. How to avoid this?

    Question
    pluggin container makes flash player crash. all is up to date. How to avoid this?

    First, download and run the Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html] . You probably want the 64-bit version. After that has run, restart your computer, and then let's download a fresh version of Flash. Try downloading and installing it from [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe here].
    Once you have flash installed again, start Firefox up, and see if you are getting any errors. If it works, awesome, if not, let's move on.
    Start Firefox up in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode ]] (don't select any of the checkboxes that appear). If Flash works here, then it is one of your addons which is causing a problem.
    If we are still having a problem, try [[Updating your graphics driver|Updating your graphics driver]] .
    If none of these work, read [[Troubleshooting plugins|Troubleshooting plugins]] and let me know!

  • HTC One Stock Browser - address bar and Flash player issues

    Couple of issues here -- please let me know if I'm missing something obvious.  First of all, since the HTC One only has the Home and Back buttons, I count on the application to know when to open a Settings screen or even an address bar.  Point that browser at YoutTube or Google+ and tell me how you get back to the address bar.  I've found that hitting Back may bring up the address bar, but you'd better be quick about it. 
    Second, the Flash player doesn't seem to work with some sites.  I can play a YouTube video with the stock browser, but it won't play an NPR sound clip.  Thoughts?  Ideas?  What obvious thing am I missing?

    First, Flash Player isn't supported anymore. If you have it installed through sideloading, it isn't guaranteed to work all the time.
    As for the stock browser, have you tried scrolling to the top of the website to get the address bar to show. I don't have any other ideas since I purposely disabled the stock browser and use Chrome instead. Perhaps you should consider the same.

  • Mac OS X - Flash Player crashes all browsers

    I installed Flash Player on a MacBook Pro under Mac OS X
    10.4.10. If I visit any page with Flash content, the browser
    crashes immediately. This happens with any browser - tried it with
    Safari, Firefox, and Opera.
    If I uninstall Flash Player, I can visit those pages fine -
    but of course I can't see the Flash content.
    Any ideas?

    Lee, what is your Flash Player version? You can see it in
    firefox if you type "about:plugins" in address bar.
    Recently (July, 21st) I have posted a bug report about Flash
    player crashing on Mac OS X 10.4.7 on Intel processor:
    I have noted that Flash Player 9.0.47.0 (9.0 r47) crashes on
    any Flex application, for example:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/flex_store_v2/
    But if you uninstall r47 and install an earlier version -
    r28, it works well.
    The uninstaller is here:

  • I can't install flash player at all, not matter what browser is in !

    Hi
    I have this annoying problem with my Flash Player, I can't install it no matter what i browser it is in. When eg. I have to play a video from youtube, I can't use IE (Internet Explorer) to play it in, but in Googles Chrome and in Mozillas Firefox, there it works without any problem.
    Another problem is also when I am going into www.adobe.com in IE, then it says - For the complete experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser. Thank you! , the script is active in the internet settings, I have check, but it is still not working.
    If I uninstall Flash Player totally, and I would like to  installed it again, I can't do it,, not matter what browser, it just stops, when iI try to install it . There is no problem installing or updating, Air, Shockwave. In this matter Flash Player will not cooperate at all, it will not let we installed it at all.
    New I have tryed is that I installed the new flash player 16 demo, there were no problem in the installation, but it will still work in IE. It still says - For the complete experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser. Thank you! on www.adobe.com and it still not works on youtube.com. The script is active in the internet settings, I have check, but it is still not working.

  • Problems installing flash player for all users on a computer (domain)

    Hi all,
    I've had a quick search but have unfortunately not found any answers.
    I've just setup a new image using WDS to install 55 new Dell computers. Flash player was installed as part of this image, the problem i'm getting is that if I log in as a domain administrator I can run flash fine with no problems, however if I log in as a domain user, and try to visit any site that requires flash, i can't seem to view any flash content.
    When logged in as the domain user and navigate to control panel I can see the "Flash player settings" option and when I view installed software I an see that flash player 11 is installed.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? - Do you require admin rights to view flash files?
    Any help would be extremely grateful!
    Thanks.
    Matt

    It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder.  Try a clean install on the original machine.
    If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
    Also check the permissions of all files in
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash

  • Hilarious!! After CS5 install Flash Player crashes all the time

    Hi,
    maybe Steve Jobs is right. Mac Pro 10.6.3, 12 GB RAM, 3 GHz 8-cores, everything is running peachy.
    I install CS5 Premium Design Trial, while installing asks me to quit Safari and Firefox. It install Flash Player 10.1.
    Now Safari crashes ALL the time. Multiple sites, NYTimes, HuffPost, etc.etc.
    I wonder why Adobe is doing everything possible to make SJ right.
    De-install, back to old Flash, seems to work.

    They probably packaged it before the latest release candidate was ready.
    Anyway - it would be better to discuss that problem in a CS5 forum - is there one?

  • Adobe Flash Player only shows black box on most websites.

    Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.287 is only showing a black box but not loading or showing any buttons on some/most websites. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the problem exists on websites such as espn.com but works on others such as hulu and youtube. It exists on Google Chrome and Firefox.  I had some adblock and flash add-ons in Firefox, but I have the add-ons disabled. And the problem exists in both browsers.  It has been a problem for less than a month but I am not sure entirely how much longer.  I was outside of the US until recently, the problem may have corresponded with return but I am not sure. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated.

    I am facing the same issues as well. In particular, I can't play flash videos on www.blizzard.com as the video controls doesn't show up.
    YouTube and Facebook flash videos work fine.
    After deleting ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player and ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player, the controls appeared.
    Perhaps you may want to try that?

    I am helping a user who states his Flash Player vanished, when trying to download the latest version we are getting:  
    error message: "Installation failed. www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166"
    The system is running Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer 6. I have tried all of the troubleshooting and tips/tricks found here and via searching with Blackle. This user has to use all sorts of types of flash players to do his job and needs to get Adobe's running again. I have tried everything and he is NOT willing to reimage the pc yet. Can anyone help???

  • Flash player crashes all the time

    Hey there
    I was interested in chatroulette.com so i visited the site, but when i am connecting to the site my browser crashes all the time. Firefox says something about doing illegal operations with shockwave flash and chrome says that the flash player is causing the browser to crash. I've uninstalld and installd the flash player like a dozen times but it still keeps crashing.
    Please, help me.
    What do i need to do?

    I am running Windows XP and as far as I know no service packs. My firewall is McAfee Firewall Plus. Etrust EZ antivirus is my antivirus program.
    In my C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder there are 8 files:
    Flash10e.ocx
    flashplayer.xpt
    Flashutil10e
    install
    NPSWF32.dll
    NPSWF32_FlashUtil
    uninstall_activeX
    uninstall_plugin
    I cannot find the addons pages but since Firefox tells me Flash operates illegal actions i think it is enabled. I prefer Firefox.

  • Installing Flash Player When All Else Fails

    Hello! I have tried every tip I could find on the boards an still can't get Flash Player to work with Internet Explorer.  Flash Player is installed but not working.  I have Windows 7, Service Pack 1.  64-bit operating system.  Internet Explorer 10.0.0200.16686, 32 bit.  Flash Player ActiveX Version 11.8.800.174 (32-bit).  I have double checked that Flash Player is enabled in Internet Explorer, that the internet and trusted site settings are set to medium, that Active Filtering is enabled and that ActiveX Filtering is disabled in Internet Explorer.  I also upgraded the Toshiba display driver to 8.15.10.2189. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi Pat,
    Thank your for your reply.  I am refering to 2 different things.  When clicking, in internet explorer (1) tools, internet options, security, under both internet and trusted sites, custom level, under scripting, active scripting, the dot "enabled" is checked.  (2) under tools, safety, activeX filtering is disabled.  When I click on a video that requires Flash Player I get the following:
    on www.cnn.com front page - a blank video
    on other CNN videos - "This CNN feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 10.1 or higher"
    on www.cbsnews.com - i just get a blank/white square with a small square in the upper left hand corner that has a black box with a white "x" in it.
    on www.youtube.com - I get a message "! You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.  Download from Adobe" but then after a second, the video works.
    When I go to control panel, click on flash player, advanced, it says that the "Plug In Version" is not installed.  Not sure if that makes a difference.
    I also checked my control panel, programs and features, and Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X is the only version of Flash Player I have installed.
    Thank you so much!
