Embedded Flash movie locks up Browser

It doesn't seem to matter which of the top three
browsers I use, but most often when you go to
a website page that automatically (or not?)
launches an embedded Flash movie, a little
window pops up inside that embedded movie
asking me to click Allow or Deny.
But NIETHER is clickable, the browser is locked,
nothing can be clicked and ALL other tabs are locked
and cannot be clicked either.
I have to hit CTRL+ALT+DELTE to kills the
browser in Task Manager. .A HUGE annoyance,
that comes unexpectedly because you don't know
when an embedded movie will be on the next page
you click.
How do I stop that Allow/Deny message popping up??

Green screen is usually an indication for some incompatibility with the graphics driver, although turning Hardware Acceleration off should prevent that from happening.

Dailymotion embedded flash movie not working anymore

I cannot seem to get Dailymotion embedded flash movies working. The movie is just a black screen. The same embedded movie on the same webpage works in windows. (Non-embedded) movies on the official Dailymotion site still works though.
This happened only recently. I thought maybe it was a flash 10 issue, but after rolling back to flashplugin 9, the problem still remains.
Does anyone has the same problem?

Usually when a browser has an issue playing a Flash file it is due to the embedding code that is used in the html page. Can you compare your code to another page's code to see what differences there are? You should let Flash generate the embedding code rather than using some other software to do it if that is what you did. Just have Flash publkish and html page, test that page in your various browsers, and if it works, copy/paste that code in place of what you have now.

Embedding flash movie in a web page

I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?

If you are loading content ala using an xml file, that may be the source of the problem. When you load a Flash file into a web page, that web page becomes the frame of reference for any files that the swf loads. So if you tested this where the html file was in the same folder, but then moved things into different folders, then you need to adjust the Flash to load things as if it is in the html file's folder

Opening maximized window from embedded flash movie

Hi!
I need your help!
I have a html file with a flash movie-menu embedded into it. I'd like one of the buttons to open an external html page strictly in a new maximized window. It does not matter if the new window has toolbar or not. I want it to open a new maximized window (not the full screen thing) onclick.
How can I achieve this?
thank you!

use the javascript window.open method to open your popup and set the page dimensions.
you can use getURL or navigateToURL() to execute a javascript function or better use the externalinterface class to call a javascript function in your embedding html file.

Unloading a flash movie using Safari browser

I have MAC 10.4 and safari 2.0 browser.I run a flash movie(Instruction.swf) and after that the actual test for the student run.So while running The first movie i.e Instruction.swf I am not able to unload that movie using javascript in Safari 2.0 browser so that the actual test can run.It just hang up after finishing the movie.While in the other Mac and windows it is working fine.
Please Help me.
Thanks In Advance.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you mean to say, in other Mac and Windows web browsers it is working fine? If that's the case, it sounds like the version of Flash plugin used by the Safari plugin is probably older than the one used by the other web browsers.
With Safari Enhancer's enabling of the Debug menu you can force certain webpages to open in other web browsers. That would help streamline your viewing of those pages.

You can also enable the Debug menu with:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
from the Terminal.

Dreamweaver embedded flash movie - Safari problem

I have 3 flash movies embedded on a page using dreamweaver. Firefox plays either of the 3 no problem, Safari Only plays the first one.
I am using the Clear Skin 2 Controller. The ID tags I'm using are FLVPlayer1,2,3... JS script folder is uploaded and contains the AC_Active scripts.
Obviously I'd like to get this to work in Safari. Any thoughts???
Thanks

From the reading I've been doing since posting this, I am beginning to think this is either a QuickTime plugin or flash plugin problem with Safari. I am running osx 10.5.6 and Safari 3.2.1 - I was hoping for an easy page code fix.

Embeded Flash movies in Flex app

Hi,
Flex noob with no real Flash experience. I have successfully
loaded a Flash analogue clock swf file into an app I'm
experimenting with in Flex. I used the image tag and is works well.
I would like to also embed a Flash movie which is a news scroller.
This movie calls in an external XML file as it's text source (who's
content I change dynamically with php) and the original movie was
wrapped in some html which passed in some 'param' parameters. Can
anyone explain how Flex handles Flash movies like this?,
many thanks,
Mike

I found a solution to my problem so I thought I'd answer my
own question here for the good of others who may experience the
same issue. When using Flex on your local machine (localhost),
security precautions inherent in Flash prevent the movies from
showing up in Flex. Once I tested on the production server the
movies showed up fine. The problem was nothing to do with the
param's being passed in and Flex did not need any of the info from
the html wrapper as far as I can make out,
Hope that saves another newbie from some hair pulling,
cheers,
Mike

Flash movie opens in browser with a white background

I have created a simple movie and placed it in an 'Under Construction' page. The whole page is meant to be black. When I open the browser a white box shows, where the movie will appear, while it is loading. I want the whole page to appear black. Can I do something about this?
I did set the stage colour to black. If you can tell me without my having to get into the source and use coding, it would be much appreciated; I'm new at all this and the idea of coding scares the beegeebees out of me!
If it helps, the web address is; http://dennislewdesign.com.au/
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

If you specify a bgcolor parameter in the Flash embedding code that might solve the problem. I don't see one currently defined. I am not sure that will solve it, but it cannot hurt to try. Normally, if you let Flash generate the html page code, it will include the background color parameter in the embedding code.

Flash Player locks up browser

I'm using Flash Player 11.1.102.55, Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit), ATI Video Card in a Lenovo Desktop.
I've tried Flash Player with IE9, Chrome, and firefox.
It will work when on Adobe's site (the flash player shown after install).
On other sites (like youtube, etc.) I get a green screen and it locks up the browser (no matter which browser).
I'm running the latest ATI driver, Latest Flash Player Version, latest Firmware on the PC.
I have hardware acceleration in flash player turned OFF.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. I've googled and can really only find to turn off acceleration (which I've tried/done). No other video issues, just with flash.

Embedding Flash movie in Acrobat 3D

When I try to embed a flash file (.swf) into an Adobe document, I get the message:
"Cannot create the movie annotation ...."
Any ideas why, and how to do it properly?

If you are loading content ala using an xml file, that may be the source of the problem. When you load a Flash file into a web page, that web page becomes the frame of reference for any files that the swf loads. So if you tested this where the html file was in the same folder, but then moved things into different folders, then you need to adjust the Flash to load things as if it is in the html file's folder

Is there a way to open another pdf via a button in my (pdf embedded) flash movie?

My Acrobat 9 pro pdf, contains an ActionScript 2.0 swf, added via the Flash tool, on the multimedia toolbar.
The Flash file contains an animation introducing a collection of linked pdf files.
At the end of the intro a button appears, which when clicked, should replace the current pdf with one of the linked ones.
Is it possible to do this inside actobat?
Regards Maxwell

Thank you. That’s all I need to know.

Embedding flash movie

I have designed a slideshow in dreamweaver using the
Insert/Media/Image Viewer. I resized all the jpeg images to
400x325; it looks beautiful when viewed in the preview browser but
when I upload it to my site, it does not appear.
Is there a special code that Dreamweaver doesn't
automatically load that I would have to do to embed the file? I
appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,

Post a link to the uploaded page, please.

Get URL from embedded Flash AS3 movie

I have a thumbnail scroller app built with AS3 on my website
homepage. I have the class files but would like to know of any
quick workaround to make the embedded Flash movie clickable without
reworking the AS3 files. What I would like to do is if you click on
a thmbnail or anywhere in the movie, the "portfolio" page loads. I
asume this would use javascript? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I notice that when I click on the thumbnails in the browser,
a "0" appears on top of each thumb. When i test in Flash preview
clicking on an image generates:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL
Not Found.

I can't watch flash movies on nokia e7 browser

Hallo!
I've tried to watch some flash movies on nokia browser and opera 11 but it said to get flash player. On the link to adobe they don't have symbian os listed there. I've tried to install some versions of adobe flash player, but it said that doesn't support the sis. or on flash lite that it is already there
What can I do? Maybe another browser with flash player support?

E7 does support some flash content but not all, Opera doesn't !! The only browser I had that worked was Skyfire, but it no longer supports Symbian. Hopefully the new browser may have better support ? This video works on E7
