Broken buttons on youtube flash video

Hi. I've been dealing with this issue since a loong loong time ago on many linux workstations, so I was wondering if there is a workaround. I could just use HTML5, but not all websites like showing embedded youtube videos using HTML5. And the playlist view in youtube doesn't support HTML5 too.
Sometimes it's broken, somtimes not. I'm using the latest flashplayer from arch repos. And by the way flash doesn't work on the native Linux Steam, but that's another and not important problem. Here is how it looks like.
Thanks!

Could the difference be in the flashplugin being used? If you are using Google Chrome wouldn't it be different than the stock flash in the repo. Not that this solves the matter since I use the repo flash w/ firefox and don't have any problems. Perhaps the op should try Google Chrome and see if a different flashplugin fixes his problem?

How to add a toggle play/pause button for a flash video

Hi,
Can someone help me with this flash video. I am creating a
custom video controllers and I need to have a toggle play and pause
button. How would do I go about that. I tried to use it on a play
button and the video pauses and play, but I need to get the pause
image and play image in there. So, can anyone give me the code for
that . I really appreciate it.
Thanks

this is not truly an event driven state machine....
too many loops
data flow dependencies
wrong use of boolean controls
not a true state machine
here is a template...

Creating a Replay Button for a Flash Video

I want to replay a flash video by clicking on a "replay" button. I know how to creat the buttons. I can't figure out how to create the action script. Thanks in advance for any help.
I know how to create the Action Script to replay flash, but when I have a flash video that I want to replay that's when I run into trouble.

Hi,
This snippet should hint a solution to you (NetStream class):
netStream.seek = 0;
netStream.resume();
Anyway, you would need to know when the movie has finished playing.
On a Flash Media server, there should be an event just for that.
If you are not running on such a kind of server, make yourself a cuepoint to listen to, at the very last frame of the movie, so your app knows when its time to offer the replay functionality. You can insert cuepoints in a movie when you are in the Flash Video Encoder options.

Youtube/Flash videos play but with no sound

I have gone through other posts both here and elsewhere trying to fix this issue.
It happened, so far as I can tell, after the most recent set of updates that I installed (less than a week ago; my computer is set to update every month). Youtube and any other Flash videos online will play the video, but the sound option has a red x on it and does not allow me to have any sound with the videos. This occurs both in Safari and Firefox.
Videos played through Quicktime (even .flv files downloaded from Youtube) play just fine, without any problems at all.
I have changed the Audio Midi settings, uninstalled/reinstalled Flash player (and repaired disk permissions), reset PRAM, opened up Garageband/Quicktime/All other audio programs, and to no avail.
I am running 10.6.6 on an iMac G5. My other iMac G5, which had the same set of updates installed, does not have this issue, which makes it even more baffling.
I am almost to the point of backing up the computer's contents and doing a clean install of the system, but that seems like an overkill solution.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

No full screen button for many flash videos (with the exception of youtube).

I am using windows 8.1. I have updated flash and firefox. I can watch full screen videos on youtube but on sites like thedailyshow.com or southparkstudios.com there is no full screen button (only a cc button). I can find the button in chrome but not in ie or ff.

If I understand correctly, your instructions enable a web page to be viewed in full screen. I'm having trouble viewing videos in full screen. No button exists to expand a video. I can expand any video on any browser on YouTube but the button isn't there when watching videos on sites like dailyshow.com or southparkstudios.com (it's there in Chrome but not in ff or ie, which leads me to believe it's not an Adblock plus, et al issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Adding full screen button to DW Flash video?

When I finish a project, I take the video out of Apple Compressor as a .flv file. I then take this and drag it into an HTML file in DreamWeaver. This brings up the "Insert FLV" window, where I can choose some controls, set auto play, etc. None of the preset controls has a "full screen" button. I'm looking for a way to add this functionality to our web site. Are there either 1) other controls templates that I can download that have this built in or 2) an easy way to add full screen fuctionality to that already existing template? Bear in mind I know little about using the Flash program itself, but I have and I will if I need to manually edit something. Ideally, there would be just some other template that I can download to do this kind of thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Carl

Thanks for the reply.
I've already thought of YouTube, but our organization's filter occasionally blocks YouTube content, therefore it's unreliable for us to use for our internal viewers (we are a school district)
Your Option 2 doesn't work for us because we don't want to open and use Flash each time we embed something. Our workflow is quick now because it comes right from compressor and goes right to DreamWeaver. The ONLY drawback is that we can't make it full screen, which is what I"m trying to rectify. I don't want to add another program/step into the mix here.
Ideally, the solution to this would be a place I can download a "plugin" template for Dreamweaver to add more options to the drop down list when I add the flv to the web page, that would of course include a full screen button. The other option would be a resource I can use to figure out how to modify the existing Flash settings to use Flash to make a full screen button on that.
Ideas?
Thanks

Youtube Flash videos won't play (Windows 7 64 bit)

I cannot get YouTube and other web videos to play on my new Windows 7 64 bit computer. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, and downloaded the 'square' 64 bit version of Flash Player, but it still doesn't work.

Please enable the Flash plugin under Tools: Add-ons: Plugins.

No buttons in Flash video Player

Hello,
i can't see navigation buttons in my Flash video player.If I
run the swf alone there are all the buttons but in my page is onli
the video picture but not buttons.What should I do? Can somebody
help?

I am having the problem mentioned above and would really
appreciate a solution. Here's my set up...
Running a Flash CD Rom in IE, user clicks a Start.html file
to fire up the presentation in their default web browser.
I have a root file loading a bunch of movies on various
levels. The video player loads on level 4 above a bunch of other
buttons on level 3.
I disable the buttons underneath by including a big Invisible
button on the bottom layer of the video .swf and inserting a script
to disable the hand cursor. (So that users can't click buttons that
reside underneath where my video is playing.)
That all works great, the only thing is that the controls in
the skin I'm using become disabled. I'm using a premade skin in
Flash 8, the kind that pop the controls up automatically when you
roll over the video, and go away when you don't.
Everything works great when I Ctrl+Enter and test the file,
but when I run the whole thing together in IE, the video controls
never pop up.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Embedded Flash videos play on 32 bit Win7, not on 64 bit Win7, IE9 32 bit

Hello,
I have two PCs. One is running 32 bit Win7 SP1, the other 64 bit Win 7 SP1. Both have IE9 32 bit and the latest version of Flash 32 bit, 10.3.183.7. This page http://www.iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,999739 and others at iorr.org have embedded YouTube Flash videos. On the 32 bit machine, they play fine on both Admin and Standard accounts. On the 64 bit machine, the embedded videos are only visible on the Admin account. Standard accounts show an empty box with a broken icon symbol where the video should be. (Note: not trying to use IE9 64 bit.)
I've spent a couple hours uninstalling and reinstalling Flash trying to see the videos on a Standard account on the 64 bit PC. Nothing works. Any suggestions? Note that normal Flash videos work fine on the 64 bit PC Standard accounts. Only embedded videos fail.
During this exercise, I noticed that the 32 bit PC has the Flash Player Control Panel under Control Panel->System and Security. The 64 bit PC does not have it there, but I can manually bring it up from a CPL file in the SysWOW64 folder. Not sure if that's part of the problem or a different problem.
Thanks for your time.

I spent hours and hours on the same problem. My computer has a slightly different configuration. I am using Win7 32 bit, but experienced the same problems. Embedded Flash is working under Admin account, but not under other accounts. Many de-installs and re-installs, but nothing seemed to help. Until I found this internet post:
http://superuser.com/questions/244316/embedded-video-is-not-shown-in-internet-explorer-9-r c-or-beta
The solution offered in that post solved all my problems. Hurray!!!
Solution:
* Open REGEDIT
* Find the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash
* Delete the key
* Re-install flash
* Problem solved (in my case)
In the replies of the above mentioned link another solution was given (in stead of deleting the key)
* Right click the above mentioned key
* Change the access rights and allow all users read access to the key (did not check this myself)
In order to keep the solution safe in this thread, please find a copy of the info in the link above here:
In IE 9 RC or in beta, the embedded video is not shown in the web page. I verified the security settings in "internet options". Did not find any issue. Please find the screen shot below. I am able to view the flash videos in Youtube. But, for some reason, in some sites the embedded video is not shown.
I don't have this issue with Firefox.
UPDATE:
I am able to see view the embedded video in Admin account. But not able to view it in Standard account.
UPDATE:
As it works as administrator, use Process Monitor and filter the Status on ACCESS DENIED.
This allows you to troubleshoot what key the iexplore.exe process can't access.
@TomWij, Thanks for the suggestions. The Process Monitor hint helped to nail down the issue. When run with standard privileges, it is getting "ACCESS DENIED" for reading the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash.
When I elevated the privilege to Admin account, it did not have any issue. Then I uninstalled flash, deleted the registry key and then installed flash again. Now, I am able to view the embedded video in standard account.

Firefox kills aero in Win 7 when playinf full screen flash videos.

I have recently installed nvidia 3d vision on my compoter. now when I click on a fullscreen button when watching flash videos like YT, the aero effect in Win 7 is disabled and does no return untill I turn FF off. FF4 and 3.6 has the same problem. Everything is OK in other browsers. I tried to disable the 3d vision plugins but it does not help.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Future Flash Video --wish.

I am quite a big fan of the Flash application. Excuse me if
you find too many wishes irritating. This will be my 2nd and last
post to your board I figure.
I know a college professor, who is a big believer in the
future of Flash video.. I personally, am looking -forward- to a
possible Flash Video codex (codec?) maybe something similar to the
technolgies used for uTube.. I would look forward to a 'futuristic'
Flash Video codec where video could easily fill a typical computer
screen. When would such a technology develop- where such as that,
would be possible.

I dunno

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

[Solved] On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening.

On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening. It's like I should click where they should be, not where they are. The exact same problem happens on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer. It also happens on some games I installed like, "Crysis".

Nevermind, I solved the problem by downloading this:

Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.

Hi all,
I hope you can help! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I'm struggling to find the best place to put this.
1. a summary of your issue
Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.
2. the type of computer you use—Mac or PC?
Desktop PC.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, all updates installed.
3. steps you've already taken to troubleshoot
The problem occurs after installing Adobe Flash Player 15 Plugin to any browser (I mainly use FireFox). It's listed as Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX when I installed it for Internet Explorer.
Before installing it, I can hear the videos fine but I am limited to a maximum of 720p quality on YouTube.
I removed my sound and graphics drivers, after restart Windows 7 decides it will install them again but as the generic/universal ones. No change.
I've heard that because I have the Windows Aero theme activated, I need to disable hardware acceleration - tried this in various ways:
a) Generic PnP monitor Troubleshoot tab - Change Settings button is greyed out (whether or not I have the real/generic/universal graphics drivers installed). Can't find a way through nVidia control panel to do this either.
b) Disabled hardware acceleration in FireFox - no change.
c) Found on your forum here that I can go to a page which will check my Flash version, in theory I could right-click it, hit Settings and disable hardware acceleration there - no "Settings" option in right-click menu. Seems the page has changed.
I can't seem to find a way to interface with Flash directly to disable hardware accelerattion - if this is indeed the solution.
Regardless of Windows Aero theme, I've got it on basic theme now and still the same problem.
I recently reformatted and re-installed my PC, it was working fine before I did this (maybe I had an old Flash release installed?).
I'm at my wit's end... please help!

Sorry, it's all sorted now. After re-installing the sound drivers, decided to tinker with the settings one by one. I had my Creative sound card in Game Mode, thus it was assuming 2.1 speakers aka headphones. Put it in Entertainment Mode and it recognised all the 5.1 speakers for flash videos. Doh!

Mouse back/forward buttons don't respond after exiting from full screen Flash video

Yeah. Has anyone else encountered this? After viewing a full
screen video (YouTube, Hulu) and exiting (via the ESC button), the
back and foward buttons on my mouse stop responding. Really!
Usually I will have to go back into a full-screen video twice for
the buttons to get "stuck," and then it takes them several minutes
to regain their functionality.
I've had this going on for over a year now, and I'm finally
sick of it enough to where I want to get some help. I've narrowed
it down to the Flash player as being the culprit, and it happens on
every browser I've tried it on (Firefox 3: RC2, RC1, Beta5; Firefox
2; IE7; IE6; Safari 3.x). This started happening when I upgraded
the Flash Player and the first offending version would be the one
that introduced the current full screen Flash video technology. I'm
guessing it was 9.0.
I have a Logitech MediaPlay wireless mouse, Win XP SP2. I
have the latest version of Flash and the most up-to-date mouse
drivers.

I have the same exact problem, only a different model
Logitech. Have you found a solution? Thanks, Shawn.
