Dreamweaver Flash problems

Made a quick little button that when hit will play music. It
has worked a couple of times for me and then I change something on
the page and away it goes. Now I can't get it to show up at all.
When I upload the swf and files nothing appears on my page. I have
looked at the lovely toots from Adobe and did exactly what they say
to do. I have changed the page from xhtml 1 trans, to html 4 trans.
I am using spry menus if that is an issue. (At one point they
didn't work and I had to rebuild the page.)
Any help would be great. I know others have had similar
issues.
If I got paid for troubleshooting software, I would be rich.
Isn't the tech age suppose to make our lives easier and work
faster?

I'm not sure this is what you need, but if you want a simple
Flash audio
player that works great, here's a tutorial I wrote:
http://webdevbiz.com/flash-audio-player.cfm
. Here's a sample of it in
action on a page:

Other than that, you'll need to provide more information and
a URL to the
page to get help troubleshooting the problem you've begun to
describe above.

Leopard/Dreamweaver/Flash Problems

Although Dreamweaver and Flash will both start, i cant get them to display any of my files or any new files- is this another Leopard/CS3 compatibility problem? Anybody have a solution? I can run Photoshop CS3 no problem.

Hi Murphy101;
I have Dreamweaver and Flash on my Macs and have no problems with opening my files in Leopard. Have you repaired permissions?

Adobe Bridge Buttons in Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks?

Hello,
Adobe says that the button to connect to Adobe bridge is in
every CS3 application. I can find it in Photoshop, Illustrator, and
even Contribute, a former Macromedia project, but none of the other
Macromedia projects (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks) have one. Am I
missing it, or is this a glitch?
Thanks,
Dylan

Go to Edit > Prefs > Enable Version Cue. Once you do
that look in the lower left corner of the flash
application - you should see "Open" with an arrow. Clicking
on it will popup "Reveal in Bridge" button.

Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's my previous post:
Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Flash problem after software update (on 10.6.8)

I'm having flash problems on *some* macs after one of the recent software updates (june 2012).
On my school's 10 iMac's (2010), I can't play flash games anymore *in safari*. Chrome is ok.
An example site, is http://www.barryfunenglish.com/games.php (select any game)
But on my school's 6 MacBook Pro's, I can - both safari and chrome.
It was working 2 weeks ago on all computers.
I'm using Software Update server from our server to update all the macs, so it's possible there was an update problem.
Why is flash missing on the 10 imacs safari? But not on the macbook pros?

AppleJason wrote:
so did Apple uninstall flash on safari with it's latest update? do you know the reason?
Yes, it was blacklisted by Adobe for security vulnerabilities. OS X now checks to make certain you are running a safe version and disables it if you aren't.
With the latest update, you now have the option of having Adobe doing a "Silent Update" in the background without your having to do anything. I would recommend you implement it.

Dreamweaver & Flash 8

How do I get Dreamweaver & Flash 8 working with the new Mac OS 10.8.4 on a iMac 2009?

Studio 8 pre-dates your operating system by 8 years. It is no longer compatible. You should highly consider updating to the latest version of the creative cloud. The only alternative, which is not tested and may not work is to use virtualization software. There have been kb articles made that you can install 10.6 if you still own a 10.6 disc which may enable you to run the older DW in a virtualized environment. This is not recommended nor supported. I personally think 8 years warrants an upgrade.

Intensive course Adobe CS5 DreamWeaver & Flash

hi there
I'm a selfmade semipro in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign commanding these tools really well (I mean, I can always do what I want to, and if some piece of knowledge is missing, the help manual is enough). I've worked with DreamWeaver and Flash for fun but never really got it. I have no experience in scripting, though...
i'm looking for a intensive course in Adobe DreamWeaver & Flash.it should give me the skills to really start working, i.e. creating Flash animations, interactivity, and build websites.
Language: English or German
Place: Europe, USA, I'd prefer EU for travelling reasons
Duration: up to one week at a stretch
Any ideas?

Firefox not helping with Flash problem

Ok, so, I'm getting really irritated with Flash. I talked to
a friend who was having flash problems and they said they
downloaded Firefox and it fixed the problem. Well, after doing
EVERYTHING else first, I thought, what the heck, maybe it might
actually work. So I downloaded and installed Firefox. Ok, that
installed perfectly fine. So I used Firefox to download Flash 9. I
thought all was going to work out, because Firefox didn't just
refresh the page like Internet Explorer did whenever I clicked the
"Agree and download now" button on the download page. It actually
downloaded and "said" it installed correctly. But I still can't
play ANYTHING no Youtube STILL!! I go to youtube on Firefox and
aperently it doesn't regonize any Flash on my computer. I go to
youtube on Internet Ex. and it says I need the latest version of
Flash. I tried rebooting the computer. I tried uninstalling and
installing it AGAIN. What the F is the problem? I've made sure all
my AxtiveX controlls are set to whatever thry need to be, my
Shockwave is updated, my security is not interfearing. I'm getting
really pissed. I've been trying to fix this problem for months
now!! What else could be going wrong?? Is there something I haven't
tried yet? Do I just need to get a new F-ing computer? Someone
help!!

Well the first thing you need to understand is this...
Flash Player for Windows Internet Explorer is an ActiveX
control.
Flash Player for Windows for ALL other browsers is a plugin.
They do the same thing ultimately, but they're separate
downloads and on your machine they're actually seperate bits of
software.
So the reason that so many people have success with Firefox
is that the Flash Player plugin seldom has install failures. But
for IE Windows users the Flash Player activex control often has
permission-related install failures that cause these kind of
issues. It's unfortunate, but very, very complex and we've been
fighting it for a long time.
So the thing to remember is that when you're talking about
Firefox, you're not dealing with ActiveX controls in ANY way.
So here's the question.. When you launch JUST Firefox, and go
to this page, what do you see?

Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
play.
Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
specified buffer time).
In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this
may be a related issue?
Help??? I don't even know where to begin.

http://64.38.28.254
thank you in advance.

Try changing the line:
td { }
in your CSS file 'basic.css' to:
td { vertical-align: top; }
This will align all table cells on your web site to the top.

Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file

So, after having trouble with my Photoshop scratch disk, I had to do an archive and install of my Mac OS 10.6.1 then reinstall the Adobe suite. I then had to run the Licensing Repair Tool (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html).
Now everything works but Dreamweaver, which is throwing the following error:
"Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file.
Please delete the current menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml"
I tried that. menus.bak is a directory, not a file. Even renaming the directory didn't work.
I saw this http://forums.adobe.com/message/2188511#2188511
but I don't have a /FlashPlayerTrust/ directory, nor do I see what that has to do with Dreamweaver.
I couldn't find a corresponding solution for this http://forums.adobe.com/message/862339#862339 for the Mac OS.
This http://forums.adobe.com/message/3396334#3396334 didn't help, either.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!

This is the error I got after deleting (moving) the configuration directory.
"No document types have been found in the Configuration/DocumentTypes/ folder. The MMDocumentTypes.xml file may be missing or corrupted. The application will exit now."
I've reinstalled the entire Adobe CS4 (which fixed my Photoshop problem but created this Dreamweaver problem) and then reinstalled Dreamweaver alone.
I've also attached a screenshot of the Dreamweaver directory tree with the menus.xml files.

Dreamweaver Installation Problem

Hi
I have started to download Dreamweaver and shortly after the serial no is accepted the message comes up to close Adobe Bridge CS5 ( Bridge.exe ) - I do not have Bridge open but can remember getting a similar message when I installed PS5 a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I did not note down the solution which was given to me at the time - I think this is also hindering me downloading Bridge updates.
Can any one help ?
Regards
Martin

Thankyou - that worked. Just as a matter of interest why does the process show even if the application has been closed down ?

Hi Mush25-
I had to step back from this and take a different approach.
While tossin' down some aspirins, I worked on my other niece's
laptop to upgrade to FP10 and troubleshoot. Identical to T2, but
with more Yahoo stuff: homepage, toolbar, chat, etc.. Turns out she
had already done it via Adobe yes/no prompt. No issues, everything
works OK. She said it only took a few minutes. I checked it out and
checked the settings, it's OK. Go figure.....
So, I will approach this as a problem with Manual
Downloading, which you and I did (not sure about Morac).
The HP desktop? We don't normally use IE7 on it, as it is AOL
Dial-up only, so few/no cookie issues on IE7. I kicked in IE7 and
FP10 worked OK. Well, as OK as dial-up video can be....
OK- a question for ya, this will tell me if I'm on the right
track: On your first FP10 upgrade, did you FIRST uninstall FP9, or
download/install OVER FP9? Please answer honestly....no judgements
here...
I didn't uninstall first- I admit it! I never do for Adobe
and Java, as I want to make sure the new version/upgrade works OK
before losing the old. I was on the old dial-up for too long, I
guess. There are exceptions, of course, like AVG.
Let me know.

Do I need to drop Mozilla since they can't seem to solve the Adobe Flash problem?

I have followed every step suggested to fix Adobe Flash crashing problem. Is the real solution to just drop Mozilla and switch to Chrome? Seem Adobe Flash works just fine there...

By the way, it would be useful if you could mention which settings you have changed. The headline suggestions for working around Flash problems usually include the following:
(1) Disable protected mode (Win Vista and Win 7 only)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Check for and resolve conflicts with Firefox add-ons (e.g., using Safe Mode or a clean profile)
(4) For display issues with scrolling, disable Smooth Scrolling and Autoscrolling here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General

SAFARI 4 HANGS/FREEZES/CRASHES ... FLASH PROBLEM

Okay, this is my first Post to an Apple Discussion Forum of any sort.
I've been using Mac OS X (Tiger) for a few years now, and had switched to Safari from Mozilla Firefox. No probs w/ Safari as of 3.2.3 I think it was, but now that I've upgraded to Safari 4, I've got a problem where it seems to lock up. A page will seem to have a status of "Loading ..." indefinitely, and hitting the "X" next to the word "Loading" to stop the loading, or clicking on a Bookmark Menu button, or anything of that sort doesn't work. The page just doesn't load, or will eventually start to load some stuff super slowly. You can go in to Safari's menu options though.
I've seemed to isolate it to a Flash problem.
I've uninstalled Flash (the latest version from Adobe), re-installed, repaired Permissions, and many other things that I've read in similar Posts, to no resolution.
Sites will actually load fast, and Safari seems to work if Flash plug-ins are moved from the Library>Internet Plug-ins folder (to the Disabled Plug-ins folder for example)... until you are on a site that uses Flash, where you'll get an error about not having plug-in for that application/MIME type (ie www.hulu.com).
At this point I'd be happy to uninstall Safari 4, and re-install Safari 3. I've downloaded both .DMG's, because another Post suggested the Safari 4 .DMG would also include the Uninstaller. I only have the Install package though.
I guess I'm asking for either an answer to ...
A) Where can I find the Safari 4 Uninstaller (yet maybe not lose bookmarks) so I can re-install Safari 3? ... or
B) Does anybody know of an effective way to resolve the Flash issue?
Thanks in advance for replies/suggestions!

Your experience sounds much like mine. There is a thread under my post named "Safari and Flash Player." Unfortunately, I have gotten no other suggestions in my thread, likewise doing everything you did to no avail. Unlike radbrad, I am having no apparent issues with JavaScript. Like IdidLikeSafari, I have been able to isolate the conflict to Flash: disabling that plugin alone prevents the hang-up. The curious thing for me is how site specific it is: I can run Flash content on lots of sites, and everything shows successful on Adobe's player test without any loading issues. I have reported to Apple. Adobe's bug report appears to work differently from Apple's, requiring an Adobe account I have not created. Perhaps this issue should be reported to Adobe as well, but for me there were absolutely no issues until Safari 4. Just like IdidLikeSafari, I had no issues at all under 3.2.3. So it appears the fault must be caused by Safari 4 somehow.
I don't know if you saw the thread about the hard-disk renaming workaround. I tried it, and it did not work for me. But since it is so simple and harmless, you might as well see if it works if you haven't tried it yet. I'm sorry that I can't remember the name of that thread, though.
