CS4 Flash Test Movie won't work!

I have been working on my final project for class all week. Suddenly tonight once I have finally worked through so many bugs in transfering things into the thing, I can't get the "Test Movie" option to work to view anything. I even tried to view just the scene. It keeps making these flashes and then basically stays where it's at. Anyone have any ideas? I'm frustrated and lost!
Thanks.

No error messages are coming up anywhere! That is why I don't understand why nothing is working.

  • Test movie won't work anymore!!

    When I test movie on all my .fla files, the script "seems"
    not to work (many things missing, problems with my arrays...) BUT
    if I run the SWF produced...it works like a charm??!!
    What should it be please?
    I've re-install everything on a new system without any
    success
    If I use the debugger it stalls immediately...
    ...but remeber the SWF is perfect, it's only while previewing
    (testing movie ) inside of flash
    Thnaks very much!

    The internal player and browser player are two totally
    separate applications.
    The one in browser get updated frequently while your
    authoring player won't.
    Often the case when macromedia/adobe left unfixed bugs in the
    user IDE
    fixing them later with the browser players. This would do the
    very thing you
    describe. SOme stuff works or won't work while authoring but
    will or will not
    in browser.
    Perhaps that's the case in here.

  • Suddenly all movies won't work in Safari

    Suddenly all quicktime or flash movies won't work in Safari. Just has the Quicktime logo with a question mark in the middle. I have the latest browser for Panther. What's the deal? It's a bit annoying seeing as I make films myself and can't test my uploads to You tube and so on. Help! Please.

    Same problem here. My extended problem is every time I re-install Flash Player, the movies work fine - UNTIL I need to exit Safari or shut down. When I bring it up again, the Question Mark is back. Also when I repair permissions the page just fills up with Flash Player Repairs. Looking for a pattern, I am now repairing permissions each time I re-install and my G4 iBook AND Intel duo does the same extensive repairs with each install. Help?

  • Movies won't work when a DVD is inserted ?

    Movies won't work when a DVD is inserted.  What do I do to watch a movie ?

    Just one DVD or all of them?
    Some DVD's just need a gentile cloth and rubbing alcohol wipe on the bottom to rid of fingerprints etc.
    If your using out of region code DVD's (each area of the world has regions codes assigned to the computer and disks) then that needs to be changed.
    This can happen if you buy a Mac used from another part of the world or use DVD's from another region.

  • I have downloaded adobe flash and it won't work. What have I done wrong?

    I have downloaded adobe flash and it won't work. What have I done wrong? I have even downloaded it twice (different versions). Is this a mistake?

    What is your operating system, version & edition?
    What is your web browser?

  • Bah! Publishing or "test movie" do not work on new machine

    Bah! Publishing or "test movie" do not work on new machine. I
    repaired all permissions, saved as different file names, and I
    still get a "Be sure destination file is not locked..." This even
    happens on Adobe's sample files! Fresh install (CS 4), fresh
    operating system, new iMac. Thank you for your help, guys and
    gals.

    Nevermind, I got it. I had to change the publishing directory
    to a different one.

  • Flash 'test movie' animation won't play until refresh screen.

    Suddenly, the flash animation won't play until I refresh the screen, in test movie. What's gone wrong? Has worked as it should until last night. Now, when I create a new flash file, the animation doesn't play until I refresh the screen. Then it works fine. It also plays the other swfs fine.

    Thanks for the fast response. I appreciate it, Meishak.
    I remember saving everything. I have the file. I go to File
    >> Open >> I select the file I want>> Target file
    DOES OPEN... but only in preview. I popup opens up and plays the
    movie. But I cannot, to the best of my understanding (student
    newbie advert. major) open it to where I can edit timeline and
    stage and whatnot. I used to be able to. It is saved. It does open.
    But just not to be altered... is the best way I could describe it.
    I am assuming that maybe there is some type of "open as..." setting
    somewhere and it just have it on "always open as preview."
    I don't know... I have googled every troubleshot wordphase
    under the sun and nothing. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

  • Flash help, still won't work

    I am trying to put a flash video on my website. I tried to
    follow all the directions from start to finish, but somewhere along
    the way I went wrong. I have a video I made in Final Cut Pro,
    exported in QT format. I used the Adobe Flash Encoder to convert
    the .mov to a .flv file. Then I imported the .flv file into Flash
    CS3 Pro and put a skin to it and saved the .fla and exported as
    .swf. Then I went into Dreamweaver CS3 and used the "insert media"
    function to insert the .swf file. I got it positioned correctly and
    go to view it in the broswer - looks great, autoplay works, skin
    appears, etc. So then I upload / "put" to the server and click
    "yes" to include dependent elements. But then when I navigate to
    the site from the brower, the video doesn't work. In fact, it
    doesnt show up at all. All you see is a blank spot where the video
    should be. Its probably obvious by now that Im not too terribly
    knowledgeable about DW or web design or HTML, but I feel like I got
    pretty close and Im frustrated that it won't work. Since it works
    perfectly in the "preview in browser" function in DW, I feel that I
    am getting close. But my guess is that the error is somewhere in
    the upload to server process since it works locally but not
    remotely. Any help would be much appreciated as Im getting
    frustrated. Below is the URL. The problem could be anywhere in the
    process. I tried creating the .fla file with both a local reference
    to the .flv file (and then uploading all to server) as well as
    creating with a reference to the .flv file after already uploading
    to server. Still no cigar. I can look at the remote view and see
    that the .html file, the .swf file, the .fla file, the .flv file,
    and the script file are all uploaded. Maybe the referencing is
    incorrect...just not sure. Thanks !

  • Flash Player 12 won't work for me

    I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 12 from Adobe site.  I have IE and Windows 7 Premium.  Computer tells me Flash Object is installed and it is enabled. It won't work for me.  Adobe help page says it is either not installed or enabled, but my computer says otherwise.  Can you help me get this thing running?

  • Flash video recording won't work

    I'm having a a 2013 model 27" Mac, OSX 10.8.4, with Flash Player version 11.8.800.94. It won't let me record, and sometimes not play either, video and audio through an integrated Flash Player in a certain website. I've tried both Safari and Firefox, no joy. Safari version is 6.0.5.  When I get to the page where the recorder is implemented, it is displayed as normal, but only says "loading". The Flash player plugin works perfectly in any other web page I have tried, including the test pages on Adobes pages. If I try the same webpage with the Windows laptop I've got (yuck...) it works without any issues.
    Now, to make this even more complicated, the issue is valid only for two out of the five accounts we have. Both these accounts use the Parental Control feature in OSX, but I have made it as liberal as possible, and specifically allowed everything for the webpage in question. However, I have a third account with parental control where this is not an issue... I have also tried to remove the parental control with no luck. I have checked all the settings and Global Settings for Flash Player, and made sure everything is allowed.
    I guess making a new account could maybe solve the problem, but there's got to be another way?

    That says it's an account specific issue and has nothing to do with Flash Player. If it was solely the plugin it would happen on ALL ACCOUNTS, regardless of type.
    What software are you using to record?

  • Flash Media Encoder won't work with Stickam solution

    Recently, after reloading my computer FME seemed to work fine but did not work with Stickam. I decided to test it on BLOG TV and had to download their XML config file. This corrected the problem.
    Stickam offers this same XML config file download in Settings/Broadcast quality.
    So, if you are having trouble streaming with FME try downloading your provider's XML Config file. Go to FME File tab and open the profile. This should correct any issues related to FME.
    If your provider does not have an XML Config to d/l try someone else's and then change format settings as appropriate and this should correct any issues with FME.

    Gary,
    Thanks for quick response
    "First, through IE6, verify your installed version:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about"
    Doing this doesn't show installed version, as it does when I
    go there from my laptop.
    "Can you get to other sites? If yes, does FP work there? If
    you couldn't get to the doc's website at all, it's an IE6 related
    issue, not FP."
    Doesn't work at Adobe either. I can get to the doc's website
    but his intro page is a flash video. Get black screen and if you
    right click it will say "about Flash Player 9" so I know I'm there
    and FP is installed and running
    "Many things can be the cause, probs w/IE6 (settings),
    AV/IS/Spyware/Adware/Popup blockers, etc.. These can also affect
    FP."
    I tried checking the IE6 settings per stuff on the forums,
    disabled AVG AV and WINXP firewall and none of that helped. Pop-up
    blocker says it isn't on.
    "I'm surprised that your desktop XP didn't have any FP.
    Usually it does have it, but the older versions don't show up in
    the Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs list. They're way down in
    C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash folder."
    Didn't look at Control Panel , just that going to web site
    said we needed FP.
    "If you can get to the site and ya just can't view flash, try
    these things:
    Then, go down to the Flash folder and see what's there. You
    should have a FlashUtil9x, a Flash9x.ocx, an uninstall file and
    maybe a txt file. While online as an Admn User, dbl click on the
    Util9x and a "wizard" panel should appear. Follow the instructions.
    Close/restart IE, test (go to the site). If no-go, reboot, go IE6
    and test again.
    Yes, this may get you to FP10, but your IE6 and flash will be
    working."
    Already did this also, the only "wizard" that comes up either
    automatically updates to FP10 or does nothing. In one of your
    previous threads you said it would "set" FP. What does that mean
    and what screen/button/icon should I be seeing?
    Anyway, one of the several times I did it, I let it install
    FP10 but it didn't solve the problem.

  • Adobe flash audio scrubbing won't work, can't lip sync

    The  feature where you drag the red line across your timeline and it will plays that segement isn't working.It won't play when i drag my "red line" across the timeline instead it only plays the audio when i hit play and won't stop until the frame ends.
    I just finished a project a day ago and didn't have this problem so im confused.

    Assuming the frame audio is set to Stream and not Event in properties? Flash is updated as well also?

  • CS4 Flash Form Application Doesn't Work in CS5

    Hi
    I was surprised to see the following message when opening a flash CS3 fla in CS5
    <<
    Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in a previous version.
    >>
    Is there any known work around to be able to maintain a Forms flash project in CS5?
    How long will CS3 or CS4 be supported?
    Thanks in advance

    Just to be clear, that final question was asked 7/11/2011, it's now 5/5/2015, and still no one has bothered to respond?  These forums are a lot of things; annoying, unspecific, hard to follow, but one thing they are NOT is helpful.  Perhaps they should be hosted somewhere other than in the Help section?
