Emailing Invite created in Flash doesn't work

I created a flash invite for a client and cannot get it to deliver correctly through email. I've tried everything that I have found here and it won't show up in some of the emails that I have tested. (mine is the only one that works). I then tried exporting the flash to a gif but the quality is really poor. Any way to correct that?? I can't believe that this so complicated. Is there a piece of code that I am missing? Can this even be done successfully? The last animated invite I did was in photoshop and was nearly as complicated as this one and didn't want to mess with it.
Help. Client is getting anxious, and if I have to rebuild in Photoshop I need to get started.

What I Learned...
It seems there is no simple way to do this. So this is what I did, I exported the swf as an animated gif. It wasn't great but it worked in "most" emails but not all. Because of the that we went with a traditional, "click here" to view your invitation email. We considered using constant contact or a similar program that would embed the gif, but the client didn't want to have to enter all the email addresses. I decided I didn't want to spent the time to rebuild or use the png files in Photoshop.
This isn't something I will be recommending to future projects. It's just to dicey making sure that it works in every email format.

Flash doesn't work suddenly [SOLVED]

Today flash doesn't work anymore, I do not remember any modifications. In Firefox the browser segfaults after a few seconds of flash content. In Opera the flash area is replaced with weird graphics http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/5845 … 0x800s.png like this. I reinstalled flash10, no help. I installed flash9, no help, same problems.
Also, gnash plugin works for most flash content, but not for youtube though (on youtube I'll just get a blueish empty screen). Viewing flash videos is a must for my PC use..
EDIT:
I discovered that my sound didn't work, and I remember removing dbus from my modules since somebody says HAL starts it.
I solved it by adding dbus after hal in modules. I know that people say you shouldn't do that, and it creates this error text at bootup, but that did fix my sound, and my flash issues. Weird.

that didnt do the trick either.
I decided to reinstall flashplugin, and then i noticed a warning that said "warning: directory permissions differ on usr/lib/mozilla. filesystem: 700 package: 755."
should i just try to chmod /usr/lib/mozilla, and then reinstall Flash?
EDIT: Yep, i just ran sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla, and reinstalled flash. Works well

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger on an incoming email. The finger method doesn't work and I cannot find any toolbar with which to do it. I could find nothing in settings also. Plese help and thank you.

Hi there,
Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
Good wishes,

I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped

I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped I went into the camera app and tried to see if it would flash when I took a picture but I saw it light very faintly and hasn't done lot up since. Should I get the led replaced?

First, try bringing up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen. Turn on the flashlight by tapping the icon in the lower left. Does the flashlight work? If not, perhaps you have a hardware issue.
If it works, check the top of the screen when you open the Camera app to make sure you have the flash on.

IPhone 4s glitches, is cracked, and camera flash doesn't work. What is the cost to exchange for a new one?

Front screen of my iPhone 4s is cracked, it freezes/lags, camera flash doesn't work, and every time you press a bit harder on the front screen red and grey vertical lines appear. I have had it for more than a year now, so how much will it cost for me to replace it?

These prices are for the U.S.

I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!

Why do I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!I have flash for mac.Your help will be appreciated.

If you're talking about using Flash on your iPod, you can't. There is no version of Flash that will work on any iOS device. If you're talking about using Flash on your computer, you may want to repost in the correct forum.

Flash doesn't work and work with another browser!!

''locking as a duplicate of - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/900202''
Flash doesn't work and work with another browser!!.
The message is " An error occurred, please try again later" just with youtube. Other sites work. Another browser works with youtube!!

Whay do you mean "difficult with the camer?"
Two things that might help. Reset all your settings and reset the phone. Use the Settings app to reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that helps.

My Flash doesn't work on IE 8

I am a webmaster with an existing flash on
http://www.patriciawells.com
No changes to the flash in about a year. Works great on IE 7,
Firefox, Netscape, Opera, etc....
Downloaded IE 8 Beta 2 this morning and the flash doesn't
work.... Displays an x in the box (like a missing pix on an html
page).
Called Microsoft and they basically told me take a long walk
off a short pier.... So much for them caring about how their beta
works....
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Well, all your object embed tags are correct so it's
obviously the Beta problem.
Nothing can do about it.

IPhone 5 torch and flash doesn't work

iPhone 5 torch and flash doesn't work? How can I activate?

The flash is activated as follows:
When you are in camera mode, and the camera is open about to take a photo, you will see an elliptical button in the upper left with a flash-like sign. Press that button and you will find it has three settings: Auto, On, and Off.
Choose one.
I don't know what you mean by "torch".

Flash doesn't work in Firefox 13

Installed Firefox 13 yesterday. Now flash doesn't work. Have done all the supposed fixes to no avail. Have uninstalled and reinstalled flash. I'm at my wits end with this issue. I'm a web designer who uses flash in a number of my sites. VERY IRRITATING when my sites don't display properly. Anyone have a solution other than the pat Mozilla "fixes"?

I received a PM from '''CheckMate''' about this thread. Since this is something that I think should be discussed openly I'll reply here.
The ActiveX plugin (npmozax.dll) issue is now fixed via the Mozilla blocklist, which automatically disables it. For some background on the ActiveX plugin issue, see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708425 Blocking the old ActiveX plugin] in the contributor's forum thread.
The Flash 11.3 Firefox protected mode problem is a separate issue and one related bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747683 747683] So, if you did have the ActiveX plugin installed and it is now disabled, AND you have Flash 11.3 installed, then the issue is no longer the ActiveX plugin.
If the problem is Flash 11.3 protected mode (or other issues with Flash 11.3) it's not a good idea to suggest downgrading to 11.2.202.235. The reason why uninstalling Flash and going to a page that requires Flash installs an older version is because the Plugin Finder Service hasn't been updated yet! This is from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Installing_Flash_on_Windows <br>
'''Quote:'''<br>
''If the Flash plugin is not installed and you visit a page that has Flash content that requires the plugin, the Plug-in Finder Service can download and install Flash for you (see [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin Installing the Flash plugin (Firefox Support)] for more information). If you want to try this method and Flash is already installed, you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Uninstalling_Flash uninstall Flash] and then visit [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash test page] to launch the Plugin Finder Service ; however, it may offer you an outdated version.''
The alternative (disabling Flash 11.3 protected mode by editing an obscure file) is not good either. I don't know what to suggest in those cases. I think it would be a good idea if you could bring this up in the SUMO Community Discussions forum. There's already a topic started on Flash 11.3 issues, here:
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708430 Flash 11.3 issues (was: flash 11.3 released)
Here is your original message, for reference:
''Hi, Alice- You locked the thread on the Adobe Flash Plugin update 11.300.257 not working question but you really shouldn't have for the following reasons. First, although I too found today that the Active X has been blocked as of June 7, the problem persists and the instruction is to contact the manufacturer. How about contacting Adobe and straightening this out on the Developer level instead of closing the thread because there's another temporary but much simpler solution that I found. Second, the instructions on how to disable Protected Mode are nuts. I'm pretty advanced, but my common sensed tells me this is too complicated to bother with and shouldn't be necessary and you yourself say this isn't a permanent fix. Third, I found a much simpler solution, at least until this bug is fixed. Completely uninstall the Plugin from the Add and Remove Programs list. Then, when you try to access any video on YouTube which uses the Plugin, Firefox reports that it needs an additional Plugin to play the video (look specifically for the FF blue plugin icon). When you click on it, it automatically downloads the PREVIOUS VERSION, 11.2.202.235 which works perfectly. But if you click on the warning below it that Adobe Flash is needed, the buggy 11.3.300.257 version will be installed again! This has to be fixed by the Developers. Until it is, the fix is simply to roll back the faulty update, which could have also been done with a restore point but I wanted to find the cause. FF apparently knows automatically that this plugin is faulty and installs the previous version, but the other instruction is contradictory and installs the 11.3.300.257 Nice!?!? ''

Flash doesn't work right under IE7 !

For some reason, the Flash's ActionScript command
ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString") to get the
URL of the current active page doesn't work under Internet Explorer
7. (Adding an id doesn't seam to do the trick... although i am not
sure what value to give to this id) See code ...
I posted my problem in the flash forum but nobody answered...
Maybe someone here had the problem and was able to find some work
around !
I created a simple swf file with a simple actionscript on the
first frame to demonstrate the problem. Using the html code i also
paste below, you can reproduce the problem in less than 1 min.
Thanks for any help !

Thank you! I'm new to posting on forums. Browser Lab was all that was
listed.

Exports from Keynote to Flash doesn't work

I am trying to create an automatic slide show and export it as an .swf (or anything) to run on a web site and it doesn't work. For documentation of my tests go to: http://www.equalivote.com/abKeynoteExportTESTS.pdf

Another thought: If you need it to be flash, could you export the slideshow to quicktime, then put the quicktime movie into a flash project? I'm not too familiar with flash but it seems like that would be worth a try.

Controlling spry accordion from flash doesn't work in IE 8

Hi all,
I created a spry accordion in an html page and a little spry controller in flash, on the same page.
The flash controller contains buttons that should trigger the accordion in the same page.
here is the code I inserted in a flash button:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:acc_ricette.openPanel('mypanel_ID'); return false;")
where mypanel_ID is the ID of the accordion on the page.
When I click any flash button this works perfectly in firefox and chrome, but it doesn't work in IE 8 and Opera.
The accordion itself (not using the flash buttons) works in all browser.
Is there a solution
TIA
tony

Flash doesn't work?

It seems flash player doesn't work in the browser.. I guess it works some of the time as I was able to load and run a tiny .swf demo/game.
But when I go to YouTube for example it doesn't load the video in the web page. (As an example; I know stand-alone Youtube clients are available)
Phone is an E51 by the way.

This is because the E51 only has flashlite 2.0 and the youtube site (and many others) needs flashlite 3.0 to work.
The only way to get flashlite 3.0 on your phone is if nokia adds support for it in a future firmware update. When and if this will happen is anybodys guess. So far the only phone to see this feature in an update is the N95 8GB.
