Embedded application/x-shockwave-flash objects will not display

4.0b9 on Windows XP
I just get a white section where a shockwave flash object should be, and in all the occurences I've found it's when the flash object is embedded. Youtube works just fine, though...
In the "white section" I can right-click and get the options for Adobe Flash Player 10, but I cannot actually choose any of the menu options.
In some cases, I can choose to display the flash object in another tab, and then it works just fine. Typically an embedded youtube movie clip acts like that that, but not always.
In an example, I see only a white section where the shockwave flash object should be visible in Pichfork TV - http://pitchfork.com/tv/
When I open the page information, in the media section, list of URL's, I find an URL that is both grey and italic, and describes this URL as type Embedded:
URL - http://pitchfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/player/DelveMoviePlayer.swf
Type - application/x-shockwave-flash
I assume this URL is grey and italic because it is not loaded or opened in the pitchfork TV site.
This is the same problem with most embedded flash objects, and I really hope someone can help me! I've browsed aroud the support forums and tried a lot of different tips, but to no avail.
I have of course uninstalled and reinstalled both flash player and shockwave from adobe's site, and made sure it's not the active-x version for IE that's installed.
My add-in manager claims that Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 is installed and enabled, and the release is the latest available according to adobe.com.
I have also tried to open FF in secure/private mode, but same problem in both modes.
Just to check, I tried to open this site with IE8, and there it displays correctly (and I also remembered why I don't ever use IE8, haha...), so apparently the active-x part of shockwave/flash works...
BR, Torgeir

OK, so now I've tried again to open FF in safe mode again, but the problem is still unsolved. Same problem in safe mode.
The hardware acceleration in the flash player is set to disabled long before I posted this problem.
I didn't know that Pitchfork had such a special flash player, but the problem is the same on any sites. Just chose Pitchfork because it's an English site. Bad example then...
Here's a better example: NME.com:
http://www.nme.com/musicvideos/my-chemical-romance-sing/832454
Here I only see a white space where the flash object is embedded (if it really IS embedded, I dont't know how these things work). But I can right-click and get the dialog for Adobe Flash Player 10 properties (such as settings and global settings), and if I'm lucky to hit the start button (wich I don't see), the flash object starts playing, and I hear all sound but see no image.
I open the page info menu, and here I find in the list of media URL's the link to the flash object, described as an embedded object in the NME site:
URL: http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/RSFVcmvHJ4/autostart=n&includeAll=y&soundoff=n&vidId=832454&videotype=hq
Type: application/x-shockwave-flash
It's grey and italic in the list of media URL's, and I assume that's because it's not properly loaded.
But if I copy the URL from the media URL list and paste it into the adress field of a new tab, I can both see and hear the flash object without a problem.
This is exactly the same issue with local sites that have embedded web radio stations. Cant see the object, and have to be quite lucky to hit the start button. But by stepping via info for site and copy the URL to the flash object and paste it into a new, empty tab, I can both see and hear whatever was supposed to display in the original site.
Any help would be more than welcome! So many of the sites I use most has embedded flash objects, so if I cannot solve this I have to find another browser. I REALLY don't want to, because otherwise I really love FF...

Flash Files Will Not Display in Dreamweaver

Flash files will not display in Dreamweaver or in any
browser. If I insert a Flash button, text or other file, when I hit
the "play" button the flash place holder disapears, and the Flash
file never displays. In the Property Inspector, the file is always
"undefined" even when I save the file to my root folder with a
name. When I hit the "Edit" button, I get the message that the file
could not be found on my local disk. It's like Dreamweaver fails to
create or place a Flash file. Help please!

The ' is causing dw to not find the path.
other symptoms would be dw nagging that the "homepage" is not

Latest flash version will not display images or video

Latest flash version will not display images or video in 2 x Windows 7 Pro 64bit machines, 1 x Windows 7 Home Premiums, and 1 x XP SP3 under VMWare Workstation 7. Problem plagues Firefox, Chrome, and IE on all systems. Also running Norton Security from Comcast on all machines. Disabling does not appear to help. Suggestions?

Not sure, this is the one that I really want to view. I am using the latest 11.6 ending in 168. Curious you got the images. The product ones act like they should be displaying for me but don’t. Can you do a capture of the images? The text with small images sometimes comes through and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a problem on the server end.
When I talk to the Customer Service people they claim to have no reports of problems, but like the sports pro about to be traded, they may be the last ones to know…

Flash video will not display properly

I've followed all the instructions on the Mozilla website, but Flash videos displayed within Firefox still appear pixelated and purple in color. The same site in IE looks fine. I have the latest version of Flash installed.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://youtube.com

Flash version 10.1.d51 (shown in your plug-ins as "Shockwave Flash 10.1 d51) is a <u>'''pre-release'''</u> version (not fully tested; should be used only by developers and qualified testers). See: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ ~~red:and~~ http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.pdf
Maybe you should report the problem here: http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/
You <u>'''may'''</u> be using a publicly released version in IE (the latest as of today is version 10.0.45.2). Open IE, click Tools, click Manage Add-ons, choose "Show" and change to All Add-ons, scroll down and look for Shockwave Flash Object, look for version column.
<u>'''NOTE:'''</u> Firefox and most other browsers use a plug-in version of Adobe Flash (and other software) while IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash which Firefox does not use. See: [[ActiveX]] . When updating some products, you need to update for Firefox and IE <u>'''separately'''</u>.
If you want to remove the pre-release version of Flash for Firefox and install the latest released version, the instructions are below.
<u>'''Remove pre-release version'''</u>
Try to remove the <u>'''pre-release'''</u> version of Flash you have installed for Firefox. Close Firefox, then, using Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, look for "Adobe Flash 10 Plugin", choose Remove. After the removal is complete, it is a good idea to reboot your computer to assure that the removal is complete.
<u>'''Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox'''</u>: your ver. 10.1.d51 (~~red:pre-release~~); current ver. 10.0 r45
See: '''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin#Updating_Flash Updating Flash]'''
-'''<u>use Firefox to download</u>''' and <u>'''SAVE to your hard drive'''</u> (save to Desktop for easy access)
-exit Firefox (File > Exit)
-check to see that Firefox is completely closed (''Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window'')
-double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Flash
-when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
*<u>'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7'''</u> you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
*'''<u>NOTE for IE:</u>''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.

Flash Movie will not display in Dreamweaver

A movie that I created with Flash CS6 will not play in a webpage that I created in Dreamweaver CS6. When I select "Live" in Dreamweaver, I get a prompt to download the Flash 11.7 player. I've downloaded this player several times, and the movie still does not play in DW. The movie displays when select play in Flash.
How can I get the movie to play in Dreamweaver?

More to the point: Does it play in any browser on your system? If not, you may have to fix that first. In nay case, ask your question in the DW forum and provide more details like soem system information to begin with...

Services for Objects will not display attachments

Hi Gurus, we are currently set up to display attached documents using IXOS Live Viewer, but only a select number of users have this viewer due to licensing, etc.
The problem is, we have requirements for other users to display attachments in FI documents who do not have IXOS Live Viewer and therefore they are not able to display the attachments because of this. Since we will not pay for more live viewer licences, there must be a way to tell SAP to use the standard windows viewers installed on the machine, if the first choice (Live viewer) isn't installed? I have looked through the customizing for this answer, and I think I've found where it's configured to use live viewer, but I dont' know how to config it to use something else, if live viewer isn't available. Your help would be much appreciated.
Marty

Hi Marty
It is my understanding that the IXOS licensing is based on users retrieving of documents not necessarily the viewer so the licensing implications of having non-IXOS viewers accessing documents using the generic archivelink viewer is still likely to result in licensing implications if an audit is conducted at any stage.
The transaction for specifying the viewer is the OAA3 and OAG4.

Flash player will not display any content, IE 7

Need help troubleshooting this issue.
When launching a video IE 7 keeps request to install the
latest version.
I have installed the latest version, it appears that it is
install ok, however no videos will play, I keep getting requested
to install the latest version.
I have set the permissions to "full control" suggested on
this forum, however that did not correct the problem.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Marnie

I found a solution for my issue. I reset the "shockwave"
paramter in IE 7 to enable. Some how Shockware and Flash play are
dependent or interconnected. Once I change "Shockware" to be enable
the video worked. I did not have to reinstall, just restart the
browser. Some how Shockware got disabled, not sure how or when,
this is a mystery. Anyone any thoughts or insight into this issue,
or know how Shockware is related to Flash player?

Flash content will not display with Player: 10.3.183.7

Hello,
I helped to design a website last year in Flash based off a template purchased from myflashxml.com. Up until the latest version of flash 10.3, all seemed to work ok. As soon as upgrading to 10.3, we see the shift up to the left on the intro and then no content displayed on the actual website (two different flash files).
I understand the issue with the shifting to the left, but I cannot seem to figure out the problem with the second flash file not loading anything, just simply a blank black screen. I have uninstalled 10.3 using the uninstaller, installed archived versions of flash player and the archived versions work properly, even on IE9. As soon as I upgrade the latest flash version, I begin to see the same issues.
I am currently running a few different computers with a few different setups. I have tried this on multiple machines with the following setups:
All are Intel processors.
Windows 7 Professional 64bit (icore5)
IE8, IE9, Firefox
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit (core 2 duo)
IE8, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari
Windows 7 Professional 64bit (core 2 duo)
IE8, Firefox
If anyone has any suggestions as to what to try, I am completely open. Please let me know if you need more information.

Could you send the swf's that aren't loading to [email protected]? I'll take a look and see if I can spot any issues.
Thanks,
Chirs

Flash Player 11.2.202.235, IE9 64-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, HP laptop - objects do not display-seevideo

Flash Player 11.2.202.235, Internet Explorer 9 64-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, HP laptop - Flash objects do not display properly in browser; right-click Settings window does not display properly either; i have to scroll down and back up to see parts of the Flash object but it disappears anyway when i mouse over.
I took video of the issue and have now linked to it. In the video, I show two browser tabs - one from this site and one from a Bank of America (BoA) site with a flash object. You can see how the BoA flash object disappears when I make that tab active.
Please help!

Thanks for the reply and the link. The driver update did not work because it says I have the latest one installed - even though the driver date is 10/8/2009. It's the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD, version 8.15.10.1968.
Can you believe that...the latest is from 2009?! I tried to install an updated version anyway - first by going to the Intel site. I found a driver update from Jan 2012 that matches my system, but the install aborts with the error message "A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver."
So, I searched through the HP support site and finally found a link to my computer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4121236&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&task=&lang=e n&cc=us
And I downloaded and installed the "same" driver anyway:
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD Driver ►
2009-12-04 , Version:8.15.10.1968 B, 29.91M
This package contains the driver for the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD in the supported notebook/laptop models.
But it does not correct the problem.
Maybe this problem is because of an old graphics driver - but this is apparently a dead end for me.
Is there any possibility it is caused by something else?

Embedding a youtube video in Powerpoint 2010 via a shockwave flash object

We have a user, has found recently, when he adds a 'shockwave flash object'
in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and adds a YouTube link, next to the
"movie" field within the properties of the shockwave flash object, it
will not show the YouTube video window (with the play button etc.) and will not
play the video.
The user thinks the current version of Adobe flash is causing this (version:
14.0.0.145) and would be grateful if any staff from Adobe or anyone else has any
ideas if this version does cause this problem and if there is a way to resolve
it, or if a new release of Adobe Flash player will address this and if so when
it will be released.
Thanks,
James

Adobe Flash Player not working--Shockwave Flash Object not installing

Ok...let's try this again. Somehow my previous discussion that I had been working on with eidnolb got marked as "Answered" when it wasn't. If you are reading this and are also having problems with Adobe Flash Player, please START YOUR OWN THREAD! That allows someone to help you individually and will hopefully prevent MY question from being accidentally marked as "Answered" when it's not. THANK YOU!
Now to start the whole process over....
1. When I download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, my computer says it's succesful. I'm able to verify through Add/Remove Programs that it IS on the computer. However, when I'm on a site that requires AFP--like Hulu or YouTube--I get a message that says I need to download the latest version.
2. When I was working with eidnolb before, we found that for some reason the Shockwave Flash Object wasn't on my computer, even though I uninstalled and installed AFP several times and also restarted my computer.
3. I use Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8. My computer also has AVG 9.0.830 for anti-virus protection and Spyware Blaster. The only firewall I use is the standard Microsoft firewall that came already installed.
4. I am the administrator on my computer. I have also made sure the following are disabled when I download AFP: anti-virus program, anti-spyware program, firewall, all add-ons in Explorer, and any messenger programs.
Thank you to whomever is available and willing to help me. I truly appreciate it!

I had this problem too. I'm not an expert with this at all, but Adobe Support at:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
said that if you try to use Flashplayer with Internet Explorer 8 (64 bit) it won't work and you'll just keep getting the message to "Install Flashplayer" over and over even if you can see in your files that you already have it installed. They told me to use the 32 bit version of IE 8, or another browser such as Mozilla Foxfire or Google Chrome (both of which are 32 bit). Now I can watch Hulu with any of these three browsers. I didn't have to turn of AVG at all; but I have AVG 2011 Free Version 10.0.1170 downloaded from http://www.download.com . Also, according to the first website shown above, you don't have the latest version of Flashplayer, which is recommended by Adobe.

Flash player will not install and shockwave is enabled, what do I do?

Flash player will not install and shockwave is enabled what do I do.

You start by posting your operating system and browser here in a reply.
That way we know where to begin.

Shockwave flash object in Word doesn´t appear in PDF (Acrobat X Pro 10.1.4)

I have a Microsoft Word document with many shockwave flash objects linked to graphs. The Word document has macro that dynamically links these graphs (SWF files) to the shockwave flash objects. The graphs aren't embedded, they are linked because they have to be loaded when the Word document is opened.
In the Word document the graphs are loaded OK but when the Word document is converted to a PDF the graphs are shown completely blank.
Does anyone know why it happens and if there's a solution to this problem?

hi thanks Bernd, 2 questions:
Can Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do this (as well as Extended - from the product comparsion chart it seems so...)?
If the full version can, does the trial version also enable this - am not really looking forwards to paying for software & then finding still yet to be resolved..?
Thanks for this, others also interested on various sites will keep them informed.
