Can I retrieve a Flash movie corrupted by the program crashing?

I was saving something on Flash when it crashed on me. Now I can't open it anymore, even though it still exists on my computer. I click on it to open it and Flash tells me that it has 'failed to open' it. I really don't want to start over again because it means another week of missed sleep and meals. Is there any way I can retrieve the document? I was using Flash CS5. Thank you for your time.

if you have an uncorrupted swf, you may be able to reconstitute your fla with a decompiler (like sothink).

How can HTML call a Flash movie?

Greetings Everyone!
I'm sincerely hoping that someone has the answer for me. I'm
a newbie, but trying so very hard to understand... :) I've read
books, pages & pages of this forum, 'net searches - I haven't
found a complete answer to my challenge so far - thanks in advance
for any help you can give...
Here's where things are:
1) I've created a series of swf Flash movies that loop (at a
particular size so they can play inside of an html table cell)
2) I've created html buttons in another cell
What I'm trying to do:
1) Like a swap file in HTML (where you click a button and an
image changes elsewhere on the page, click another button, and that
image swaps to a different image file)
I want to have a flash movie play on a click of a button, click
another button, and a different flash movie plays in the same
spot.
The challenge is the interaction between Dreamweaver and
Flash and getting HTML to talk to Flash.
Here's the code direction I've been heading ...
...IN MY HTML code...
I have a onMouseClick event for each button link. In this
code I set some variable names inside it.
onMouseClick="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie1')"
---- this would be for button 1.
onMouseClick=
"setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie2')" ---- this
would be for button 2
onMouseClick
="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie3')" ---- this
would be for button 3
Basically, I'm setting a 'myMovie' variable to 'activeMovie1'
or 'activeMovie2' or 'activeMovie3' when one of the buttons is
clicked.
If 'myMovie' variable is equal to 'activeMovie1' by clicking
a link, this will tell a flash movie: (" Hey flash! Variable
'myMovie' is equal to 'activeMovie1'. Act accordingly."). When the
2nd button is clicked, 'myMovie' will be equal to 'activeMovie2'
and so on.
I need to declare the 'myMovie' variable in my flash movie -
how do I do that?
...IN FLASH...
1. I need to create one variable which will act as a variable
receiver from HTML. (What I called "myMovie")
2. I gather I need to create an IF statement so that
"myMovie" is set to which "activeMovie" ( it could be
activeMovie1/activeMovie2/activeMovie3 etc ) ,
----->Question:
Where should the IF statement be and
How should it be written?
Admittedly I don't know Action Script 3 very well.
if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie1"
then load a movie. (This movie will be a movie related to my
1 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie2"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 2 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie3"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 3 Button.)
Here's where I'm stuck....
1) If I've already made my movies into swf files where does
an IF statement go?
2) I'm missing the mechanics of how to connect the dots here
- how do I get button 1 to load movie 1 and start playing
automatically? When I click button 2, movie 1 is replaced by movie
2 and starts playing automatically.
It's a detailed explanation (I know) - I'm hoping someone has
an answer for me that's equally explicit. Thanks so much much for
taking the time to read it!!

"Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" or program crash when rendering

I just built a new PC because my Macbook Pro couldn't render fast enough. Now that I have built this brand new computer, I can't render at all! I render once and get the "Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" and if I try to render again, the program crashes.
My files are not corrupt as I can render them without problems on my laptop (just slowly) and on a friend's PC. I can export fine but the project I am working in is currently very small. I have 450gb of space and when using After Effects, rendering is a breeze. I have restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing seems to be doing the trick.
I feel like this must be a bug in Premiere Pro CC. Has anyone had this problem and/or come up with any solutions?

You may have more luck getting help with this kind of problem on the AME forum. Or at least have a look at this page from the AME forum prompting you for the information that can help in isolating the cause of this problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1011883.

Spoken to IT support who inform me its because files are on network, however they are on my desktop and program is installed on my PC not a network.

Other sizes print. Bizarre.

Can´t see my flash movie

I´m working with authorware 7.02 and try to import a
flash movie. This is published as flash 6 (actionscript 1) and
contains a video (mpeg4) and control buttons for it (play, pause,
change of speed,...). I tryed to import it with the flash asset
xtra but I dind´t see anything then. Then I tryed the activex

I hope somebody can help me!!!

What version of Flash did you publish it to, and are you
using ActiveX or
the Flash Xtra to display it?

How Can I Get A Flash Movie to Access Local Files

I have a customer that has created a Flash movie to run off a CD. The movie is basically a set of menus with links to access local files in the same directory as the movie. i.e. Main folder (to be root of CD) has the movie, a Documents folder with PDFs, a Movie folder with wmv and mov files, etc.
The problem arrises when you click on a link to a file, a web browser is launched, and the browser tries to display the target file. The movie was designed on a Windows system, and, mostly it works in a Windows environment, however, the links totally crap out on a Mac because the URLs are pc centric.
He is a rookie flash programmer so I am trying to help him set up proper links to the files, so that the files will (hopefully) launch the proper local app and not a web browers. i.e. if the link points to a PDF, the Adobe Reader is launched; if the link is to a mov file, then QuickTime is launched....
Is there a way to do this? All the tutorials I have found all seem to expect the flash movie to be running on a web server, and as such do not work when running the movie off a CD.
Any help or suggestions would be grealy appreciated.
A response ASAP would also be greatly appreciated as the customer needs to deliver 200 CDs of the project for a presentation tomorrow morning - I have to create the CDs...
TIA

Hi there,
Maybe you would want to use swfObject, i've been using it for
a long time now.

Can't See Particular Flash Movie on Specific Site

OP: Windows 7
Web browser: IE9 , chrome
Flash version : 10.3.183.7
Hey,
I recently bought a new acer TravelMate 5742Z computer. Now i'm having an issue in playing a particular movie on my student's web site(www.high-q.co.il) that is only working with Internet Explorer. All the other flash movies on the same site and other sites seems to work fine except this one. The thing is that on other computers with the same OP, web browser and flash player it works good. I tried to install Win XP and changing IE version to ie7, and ie8, tried to uninstall flash player and installing its offline version, I also deleted all my browsing data and lowered the security level on IE properties, installed the newest graphic drivers, tried to add this site on the trusted locations settings, enabling it on the addons section, but it still shows only BLACK screen and when I right click on it, it says "Movie not loaded". It sometimes blinks the movie for a second and then it goes black again.
Here's how it looks:
Thanks!

Could you try disabling hardware acceleration and see if that makes a difference?

How can I get my Flash movie to load correctly in Internet Explorer?

I loaded an swf into an html. It loads fine in Safari, Firefox and Opera. However, in Internet Explorer the swf covers up part of the copy. I tried everything with the css to get it to work, but it nothing has helped. Among other things, I tried changing the z-index in the css, but that doesn't do anything. Is there a specific code I need to add to my html regarding the importing of the flash movie that would be specific to IE?

This thread should be in either the Flash Pro forum or the Dreamweaver forum.
This is for Flash Player and Flash Player related issues, not Flash or browser or HTML issues.

How many transactions can we retrieve from flash back query in oracle9iR2?

For Example....
user1 deletes some records in the table1 at 10:30am
user2 adds some records in the table1 at 10:40am
user3 updates some records in the table1 at 11:00am
i have set the undo-retention parameter for 5 days.....
so can i retrieve all the transactions made from 10:30 to 11:00am?
or i will get only the last transaction at 11:00am?
also, how can i know the user1 deletes some records at a particular time?
how can i know the sql executed time?
I am using oracle9iR2
Thanks
sathyguy

> For Example....
I am going to set it for 3 or 4 hours.....not for 5 days...thats why i mentioned it as "for example" now im going to test this scenario in my r&d server.....with less undo_retention.
so....to find the transaction details (deleted or updated or etc....) i have to set up auditing or logminer...ok.....again the same doubt......
for example this is the case....
1. i set up the undo_retention=2 hours
2. i have the undo tablespace size as 3gb
3. i have set up the logminer to know the transaction details
will the undo tablespace will store all the deleted,updated records and tables for 2 hours?

Viewing Flash movies w/ v.9 player crashes

Has anyone had any problem viewing flash movies on a Mac with
the newest v.9 player? All our Mac's with the v.9 flash player take
an extra 11-12 seconds to show up and have a tendency to crash our
browsers. But viewing the exact same movie on the exact same
computer with the v.8 player they work just fine. I've tried it on
all our Mac's running different OS... both Power PC and Intell...
different browsers and I am getting the same result. Flash 9 takes
longer to load in and crashes the browser but 8 works just fine.
However on a PC it works just fine with the v.9 player. I use
Influxis and talked to them today...they can't seem to figure it
out and are having their mac guy look into it for me. Thought I'd
see if anyone else has had this problem. On a side note I like to
listen to BBC Radio 1 and that site crashes on me all the time. But
never happened before I installed the v.9 player. Did a little
digging and found other people having the same problem. They say it
has something to do with the banner ad's/video's being export to
Flash 9.
If anyone has any ideas...please help me out. Below are a
couple of links. The second one is a test Influxis set up as a test
while I was on the phone with them. It uses a simple NetConnection
with no player component. Both work great on all out Mac's with the
v.8 player but not with the v.9.

Here's an experiment I want you to try.
Go to: [User]/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (hold the "Option" key when clicking "Go" from the Finder menu to access your [User] Library)
Copy the "default" profile folder from there to ANYWHERE other than the Firefox folder (a Flash Drive preferably, so you can remove it)
Trash the "default" profile folder and empty the trash.
Relaunch Firefox.
Go to YouTube and play ANY video there.
If prompted to install Flash Player again do so.
Let us know if that changes anything.

I owe itunes apple store now my payment method of my account is now declined. Can I retrieve my payment method declination with the same visa card information when I settle the debts. I want everything to normal, I can't purchase anything at all.

My itunes store payment method is decline, pls how can I retrieve it . I own itunes store, i don't if i pay back the debt i would be able to purchase using the same visa card information. Pls. someone helps me. At the momment this situation is irritating.

You need to immediately pull credit reports to see what else he has done. Then "freeze" the credit report at all three agencies. That way even you need to lift the freeze to add credit cards or other credit items to your SSN.

How can I retrieve an Apple ID password when the Apple ID (email address) no longer exists?

How can I retrieve an ex employees Apple ID password when she can't even remember it? Plus Apple ID used to her company email address, which no longer exists for her. Apple support says it will send an email to her so I can change the password, but I'll never get it, since her email no longer works, she is not with us no more. Help please! I need to pass this iPhone to another, new employee.

You cannot retrieve her password. Note the Apple ID, in Apple's eyes, belongs to _her_. It is not the property of the company. If she wishes to reset the password, she can go to the Apple ID site: https://appleid.apple.com/ and try and change it. If she doesn't know the password and has no access to the email address it may prove challenging if she provided no backup email address.
But I'm not sure this is the root of the problem. If the iPhone is locked using "activation lock" and it's running iOS 7 then yes, it will need to be unlocked. If your company has proof of purchase of the iPhone, you may wish to try contacting AppleCare. Otherwise, she can release it by going to her iCloud page and disabling it.

MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8): can't update adobe flash - now Word, Chrome, etc. all crashing on startup

I am not computer savvy, so if you answer, please be slow and deliberate. thanks!
Was having Adobe shockwave/flash problems while running Chrome, which is not completely unheard of. Restarted my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8), which included a software update (though I'm not sure exactly what programs were updated).
Now Chrome will not run at all. Every time I start, it crashes immediately. Have tried SEVERAL times to trash/download it, but the same version seems to keep appearing in my Applications folder. Have also tried trashing the Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome folder to no avail. Appears back in its place after dragging it to the trash.
In addition, Adobe flash videos for Safari and Firefox (which I just downloaded as a tester) also will not work. Each attempt to update Adobe Flash also ends in a crash. And now I've discovered the same for everything Microsoft (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). The program shuts down and the Microsoft error message appears breifly, followed by the same crash "Mircrosoft Word Error Reporting Quit Unexpectedly" box.
Again, have tried several times to download Chrome & Adobe Flash to no avail. All system updates have been made to date. What to do next?

Has your computer started running slowly as well? Everything taking forever to work?
if so, this is the same type of issues I'm having.

HT202879 recently saved a Pages document to Dropbox. Now I cannot open it in the new Pages app, and I cannot use the previous Pages version to open it. Attempting to open the document gives me a flash of a page and then the program crashes. Anybody have a

I can go to Time Machine and find the document, even read it in Time Machine, but when I try to restore this version I get the same crash. I cannot open with Text or RTF. Preview opens a fuzzy version and can save out as a .PDF, but when I try to convert the .PDF to Word I get a bunch of unusual characters. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated

OK, I've tried all these tips. Here's what I finally have to do: I open Time Machine. I click on the Pages file and open the Pages file in the Time Machine window. (Restore does not work; nothing works).
When the Pages file opens, I begin taking screenshots using shift-command-3. I take shots of all 200+ pages of this document. The screenshots are saved to my desktop.
I then move all 200+ screenshots into one folder, because, face it, that's too many icons to work with on one desktop screen.
Then I select all the screenshots in the folder at once and open them all in Preview. Then I crop every screenshot using command-K, and save using command-S, and then close that image using command-W.
When I have cropped all 200+ screenshots, I go back through the folder one by one and adjust the color on each one, moving the mid-range color up to about 75% and the sharpness filter up to about 75%, in order to compensate for the fuzzy image of the screenshot. You can't create a searchable PDF with an image that fuzzy. I do this one by one.
I make sure everything is saved.
Then I open all 200+ edited screenshots in Preview and print them out.
Then I take the 200+ pages of this ****** Pages file and run them through my scanner, making searchable 600 dpi PDFs.
Then I go to each of the 200+ PDFs and highlight the text, copy, and paste into a NEW word processing document.
If I'd had 300 pages like the last manuscript, or 700 pages like the one before that, I would have created an Automator program to do all that, but hey, this is not the kind of **** you expect from Apple. Really. It's taken all week.
So thanks for your help guys, but no other suggestions worked. I tried to force a download of the file from Dropbox, but got the same result. Besides, my Dropbox folder is saved locally on my harddrive, so it's not their fault. In fact, there is no data in the Dropbox folder under this file name, only preview files. Somehow the Time Machine will open the complete Pages file while in Time Macine, but will not import the saved Time Machine version to the working desktop because it is a preview (i.e., not Preview) image. This is a Pages problem, not a Dropbox problem. Pages did not save the full file.
If anybody knows a better way to do this, I'd like to know about it. If anybody knows whether I will ever be able to trust Pages again, I'd like to know that too.
