Can't get swf. file to play in dreamweaver

Hello,
Trying to put video into dreamweaver. I created swf file in flash. Can't seem to get it play when i import the file to html page.
What files need to be in the Dreamweaver folder? HTML, Skin, swf? thanks for any help. Owen

When you create the file in Flash, it is usually best to also have it publish an html page. Copy the embedding code that Flash creates in the html file and paste it into your intended html file. The Flash code may also be reliant on including a .js file, which it will also create, so that needs to be placed in the site folder. The header of the Flash html may include a script link to this js file, so you need to copy/paste that in the intended html page as well.

How to get SWF files to play in Dreamweaver CS5

I designed an interactive memorial page for my company in flash catalyst 5.5. According to the tutorial, it should be simple to insert into a webpage in Dreamweaver. Insert, media, SWF.
When I try to preview it in internet explorer, there is a blank square where the object is supposed to be. I do get an Adobe Shockwave symbol in the center but that is all. My flash player and shockwave are both updated. I can't imagine what could be going on with this. I am fairly new to web development and have no formal training but my boss is growing impatient.
Please HELP!

Wow...more learning here I see. My goal at the moment is to start a root directory. As it stands now, I have only 1 set of files in the DW "sites and servers" (Remote ftp site) I am reading that I need to also have what I think is called a "root" directory where I keep all my images in my PC. I have never done this. I go to DW and add 1 picture at a time, whether in this new slide show or any images I want to insert. I usually go to my off site server, copy the http and insert.
I am reading that I need to create a local file (folder) on my PC that somehow "links" everything. So when I go to insert this image, it then transfers it to the remote server.
I am not even sure what a SWF file is. I think it is a code as you say that somehow has all the image names in it that eventually get inserted. Again, I am still learning.
In another thread in this forum I have been asking questions regarding the public_html issues. I have seemed to have solved that by adding this text into the "Host" file box in the server configuration. Never was there. Now I know why I had to always delete this tag.
I have a folder in my PC that contains the slide show pictures. I have an identical folder in my remote server. So it plays now in both DW preview and the live site. Now my issue is I am unable to add pictures. It is like I have "done" this particulat SWF file and that code wont allow me to "add" to it. Hard to say what the deal is. I can preview these 2 new images in DW and they are in my PC folder and he remote folder, but the live version is short these 2 images now. So my only thought is to make a brand new SWF file and start over adding one picture at a time.
I read your comments about how you do it, but it is still not sinking in. I do not understand this whole file upload thing, or this complete "package" transfer. In DW you start by making a flash media with a name. The you go and add 1 image to it at a time. I cannot see an option in the square box with the "F" logo where you can dump a whole slide show there.
I do not want to seem too dumb, as I try to grasp as best as possible, but if you can explain in specific steps, even if it is a "test" 2+ images slide show, it would help.
I am going to read the help files tonight because my first challange is to get a root folder added to DW. I think this is the utmost importance as I do not have one now. My files are scattered eveywhere in my PC. It is I "pick" images from everywhere to add to the website. Although my remote has all the images I am using (and plenty more i am not)
Hopefully, after 10 years of having this site given to me in DW format, I will start to understand it as time goes on. A gift from a Digipen student who had a task of building a website, which he made for me.

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.) I made this site using the design mode because I do not know code. If anyone could look at the code for the flash file below and let me know what is wrong, that would be wonderful!

I don't see anything in this file:

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

Where you see the white blank box, that´s where the .swf animation should be playing. Weird is that the buttons are .swf too but they do work.
Any ideas why the animation is not playing?

Thanks.

Murray *ACP* is right, _swf/Untitled-11.swf displays nothing... so that's the problem.
The good part is... trying to direct download does NOT return "File not found". So the file is there on the server.. it's just not working.
My educated guess is that the animation is calling in some external assets, .xml, images, another .swf, some type of skin... something external to the .swf needed for the display... and the path to that asset is not correct... hence.. nothing displays.
Pathing issues are one of the most common problems when using Flash. You just need to remember that once you place a .swf on a Web page, the path to all assets called by that .swf must be pathed relative to the WEB PAGE holding the .swf, NOT the physical location of the .swf. 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. But if sticking them in there worked, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths become relative to the Web page on which those Flash files are used. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root, 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, etc), the path used inside the .swf to the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and 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.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final locations and you can put the files wherever you want.
Best wishes,

Double check to see if pathing inside the .swf may be at the root of your problem.

Can't get .wav file to play on my iPhone

Would anyone know how to fix my iPhone, so when i get a voice email message (voice-message.wav)It says "This movie could not be played" it is not a movie it is a .wav file in Quicktime??
thanks

As far as I am aware, iPhone will support MPEG -4 video, MP3 and AAC audio formats.
I have had voicemail messages, though not through email, all played fine on my iPhone.
There is another thread here:

Can't get QT files to play in iWeb webpages any more...??

drag a QT file onto a blank webpage, upload it, that's all I've had to do now for years. All of a sudden, that doesn't work anymore. Now the webpage plays back only the QT logo....

Phew - thank you Sonicray! That worked.
Quicktimekirk, thanks for the idea, although I'd checked the preferences. I do have 'Play movies automatically' checked under the Browser tab , but that probably applies only to downloaded movies. There's no 'General' tab. The tabs are Register, Browser, Update, Streaming and Advanced. Anyway, it doesn't matter now that I know how to start them by double-clicking.
Thanks heaps guys!

Can't get an swf file to play

I am working on my first flash site. I have a main site that
uses several swf files that were created seperately. One of them is
a menu bar that I designed outside the main site, and I imported it
using "Import to stage". It works just as it should. I also have a
button that I defined outside my main site, and I imported it in
the same way.
But now I am trying to import a slideshow that I created
outside the main site, and it will not work. The import happens
without error, and I can see the slideshow, but I can't get the
move to play. This is the kind of slideshow that has thumbnails
continuously scrolling at the bottom, so the user can pick one to
be displayed in a larger slide above the thumbnail.
Do I have to use a preloader instead of using "Import to
stage"? I have seen several tutorials describing how to create a
preloader, and I think I can do that without too much trouble. I
would just like to know if that is NECESARRY, and that "Import to
Stage" is limited in its capabilities in some way.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I am using "this" in the slideshow files. That does not
present the same scoping problem as "root" does, does it?
Also, I have noticed that, with the other swf files that I
have imported to the stage (a menu I created, for instance), the
structure of the file remains in tact when I import it. The layers
retain their names, the actionscript is there, etc. But, when I
import the slideshow swf file, the layer structure is very
different from the original swf file. And, most importantly, I
can't find any of the actionscript that is in the original file.
So, I must be exporting slideshow to .swf incorrectly. I have
checked all the settings, and they appear to be the same as when I
export the menu to .swf but, the results are very different.
Very frustrating...

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

Apple dropped playback support for .swf formats in QuickTime almost ten years ago.
Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

How can I associat ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1

How can I associate ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1? When I
install flash lite 2.0,it can do ---- click .swf files system can
autoly use flashlite to play.But now I install flashlite 2.1,it
lost this ability return as "unknow files formate".
Now,how can I reassociate ".swf" with flashlite 2.1?
first: I must use flashlite 2.1.
second:I must click .swf file directly.
I know another way to open :open the player and then find the
.swf,and open it. But ,unfortunately,I can not use this way to
open.Now I will be looking for another way.

unfortunately, the 2.1 developer edition you have installed
has not overwritten the original version integrated into the
symbian OS by the manufacturer. This means that the only way to
open the 2.1 files is to open the 2.1 player from your apps menuu,
and click on the swf file. You will only get direct access if the
updated player is in a firmware update for you handset.

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.

How can I get a song to play automatically on a web page ? iWeb 1.1.2

Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.
