Embedded Flash video makes links stop working

I have a strange problem.
I embedded a flash FLV video file into Dreamweaver site and I
published it.
All the links in my site works fine as long as I do not look
at the video page more than twice.
If I keep going back to look at the video page, some of the
links stop working.
Does anybody experienced this?
I made my website with Frontpage before and I embedded a WMV
video file to my page but I never had this problems.
This give me such a headache because if this keep happening,
I can,t make websites for my client.
Please somebody help me.
If you have to look at my site, my site is
http://www.1000arts.co.uk/theartoftaichi
and the video page is under the Classes drop down menu.
Thank you very much in advance.

As per the TAC engineers notes “Disregard the found-in/fixed-in notes. The bug was in 5.2.1 and I have confirmed that it is fixed in 5.2.3”
The hardware support notice for 5.2.3 is located below, so it’s worth checking the hardware version to ensure it’s compatible. If the server is not in the hardware list below, this means it will support 5.2.3.

After Updating to Flash Player 9 Links stopped working

After I updated my flash plugin to 9 some of my flash links
stopped working. Our site uses CMS to upload the flash files. I
built them using actionscript 2. It's not all of the Swf that were
affected just some of them, but they were all built the same. On
release, get URL script. I tried it on a mac and a pc and neither
worked in firefox, safari, IE, or opera. I did a uninstall and
installed flash player 8, and everything works again. Its pretty
random anybody have any ideas?
Heres the page that does'nt work, but just the pant and
jacket links, not the ones in the header at the top.
http://www.sessions.com/snow.php?sid=3&gtype=M

It's just a regular link.
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.sessions.com/thumbs.php?psid=204&sid=2&gtype=W",
"_self");
I didn' t build the site could it be something in the
php?

Embedded Flash videos don't work

Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

My embedded Flash video disappears when I relaunch MS Word

I embedded a Flash video with a youtube URL into MS Word 2010 using the "more controls" button on the "developer" tab. It worked perfect, exactly how I wanted it to, UNTIL . . . I saved and closed the document. When I reopened the document, the embedded video was still there, but only as an invisible object. I couldn't see it, let alone play it.
I have replicated this in various editions of MS Word, on several computers, each time varying things like the location of the video (my hard disk instead of a URL), etc. I also tried saving the document as "macro-enabled." In every single case, the video works great when initially embedded, but once the file has been closed and then reopened, the video is still there but no longer visible, and therefore useless.
Any ideas how I can make my embedded Flash video remain visible in my Word document, even after closing and reopening the document?
Thank you!

I suspect the best place for the question is over on the Microsoft Word forums, as you'll most like find a wider audience there that uses Word as HTML generation tool.

Jittery playback in embedded flash videos

Embedded flash videos sometimes, though not always, play with a very jittery or juddery,( it's difficult to explain!), appearance. For example live streams in the ~BBC new website and sometimes in YouTube. in Youtube reducing the picture size seems to help eg from 480p to 360p. This option is not available on the BBC website but unticking the 'enable hardware acceleration' Tickbox in the Flash preferences works. This is the preference panel you get when you right click on a video when it's playing. I am running OS X 10.7.1 and flash player 10.3.183.5. The same thing happens in Safari 5.1, Firefox 6.0 and Chrome 13.0.782.215.
Any explanation or common experience?

HI,
Adobe advises repairing permissions when having problems with embedded video. Give it a try.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Why can't I view embedded flash videos on my MacBook Pro?

I can view videos on Youtube and embedded videos on some sites, but when I try to view embedded Flash videos on sites like CNN.com and NBA.com, I just get a black rectangle and nothing loads. I've tried this on all browsers. BTW, I also cannot open up tinted ads that come up in Google searches. I have the latest version of Flash, and I've deleted browsing data and settings and have checked "Allow sites to save info." I've disabled pop-up window blocker. I have no ad blocking software. I've installed the latest Flip4Mac plugin. I have even set up a new user account and tried these sites with that account to see if the problem goes away (it didn't).
I have a 12 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.3 installed (though the problem started when I still had Snow Leopard). I have all the latest browsers and , as I've said above, the latest Flash. I've tried both Java 7 and Java 6. I should also point out that I can access these sites without problem with my office Macbook Pro, which is a 15 inch Core 5, loaded with the same software I have on my problem 12 inch notebook.
Any suggestions?

You have JavaScript enabled in all the browsers, yes? Have you tried launch the browsers in Safe Mode?

Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
Some other things to try are in this thread.

I can't play MPEG4.avi video - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch"

I can't play MPEG4.avi, or any other, video - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch". Please tell me what to do.

I took the video in 2009. I can't remember the camera model I took it with and the other information you request does not show up in the "i" panel in iPhoto.
My version of iPhoto 11 is 9.2.3.

Bookmark links stop working after security applied - v7.1.0

System:
Windows XP SP2
Office 2007 SP1
Acrobat Pro 7.1.0
In Word 2007, I created a top menu of links that use bookmarks to jump down the page to various topics. When I Save As to PDF, the created PDF top menu links work. When I secure the PDF with a password, the top menu links stop working. However, Web links continue to work. What is causing the top menu links to stop working?

>The links are in the document, not the Bookmark panel.
Ok, that's fine. They are form fields, almost certainly.
> How does one allow form filling for a document that is not a form?
Actually, if the links are form fields, it really is a form. But that
doesn't matter.
You just have to set Changes allowed: filling in form fields and
signing existing signature fields in the Permissions box.

Flash builder applications suddenly stop working this month

Hi,
My flash builder applications currently stop working in my server, they have been running fine for over 6 months and today it's been a week and they still without running and I can't figure it out.
Any ideas?? Is some adobe server down?? Any restrictions with student license?
Thanks

Ask in the FB forum and provide more details. You have not offered any hard ttechnical info, so this is not going anywhere.

Flash 8 Links Stop Working!

I've gone through the forums here and elsewhere but found no solution. I apologize if I've over-looking something.
I use Flash 8.
I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.
But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great.
The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.
This is the HTML exported via Flash8
http://ex3communications.com/Samples/NetLinks.html
Here are two different test pages consisting the SAMEswf file (loaded to the page correctly).
http://midgeorgiafellowship.net/index4.html
http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP-NewLayout.html
Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.
Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)
#1
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html");
#2
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html","_self");
========================================================
MINOR UPDATE
========================================================
The file still doesn't work. But I uploaded it to another section of the server (not sure why I did that) and it worked.
BUT, there's a catch. It only works on pages that are ON THAT SERVER.
I've tried it on 2 different servers (Aa & Bb) with the same results.
Anyone know what might be causing this? Both directories are public.
Even trying to add the Flash to a page through a embedding code yields the same results.
Examples:
Flash is place on server Aa & the page that holds it is on server Bb, then the links don't work (and vis-versa).
But Placing the both the Flash and the page that holds it on the same server ends in success.
Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work. Especially if the button's links are full "http:// www. Website .com" address as I've used here.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance

Embedded Flash videos play on 32 bit Win7, not on 64 bit Win7, IE9 32 bit

Hello,
I have two PCs. One is running 32 bit Win7 SP1, the other 64 bit Win 7 SP1. Both have IE9 32 bit and the latest version of Flash 32 bit, 10.3.183.7. This page http://www.iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,999739 and others at iorr.org have embedded YouTube Flash videos. On the 32 bit machine, they play fine on both Admin and Standard accounts. On the 64 bit machine, the embedded videos are only visible on the Admin account. Standard accounts show an empty box with a broken icon symbol where the video should be. (Note: not trying to use IE9 64 bit.)
I've spent a couple hours uninstalling and reinstalling Flash trying to see the videos on a Standard account on the 64 bit PC. Nothing works. Any suggestions? Note that normal Flash videos work fine on the 64 bit PC Standard accounts. Only embedded videos fail.
During this exercise, I noticed that the 32 bit PC has the Flash Player Control Panel under Control Panel->System and Security. The 64 bit PC does not have it there, but I can manually bring it up from a CPL file in the SysWOW64 folder. Not sure if that's part of the problem or a different problem.
Thanks for your time.

I spent hours and hours on the same problem. My computer has a slightly different configuration. I am using Win7 32 bit, but experienced the same problems. Embedded Flash is working under Admin account, but not under other accounts. Many de-installs and re-installs, but nothing seemed to help. Until I found this internet post:
http://superuser.com/questions/244316/embedded-video-is-not-shown-in-internet-explorer-9-r c-or-beta
The solution offered in that post solved all my problems. Hurray!!!
Solution:
* Open REGEDIT
* Find the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash
* Delete the key
* Re-install flash
* Problem solved (in my case)
In the replies of the above mentioned link another solution was given (in stead of deleting the key)
* Right click the above mentioned key
* Change the access rights and allow all users read access to the key (did not check this myself)
In order to keep the solution safe in this thread, please find a copy of the info in the link above here:
In IE 9 RC or in beta, the embedded video is not shown in the web page. I verified the security settings in "internet options". Did not find any issue. Please find the screen shot below. I am able to view the flash videos in Youtube. But, for some reason, in some sites the embedded video is not shown.
I don't have this issue with Firefox.
UPDATE:
I am able to see view the embedded video in Admin account. But not able to view it in Standard account.
UPDATE:
As it works as administrator, use Process Monitor and filter the Status on ACCESS DENIED.
This allows you to troubleshoot what key the iexplore.exe process can't access.
@TomWij, Thanks for the suggestions. The Process Monitor hint helped to nail down the issue. When run with standard privileges, it is getting "ACCESS DENIED" for reading the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash.
When I elevated the privilege to Admin account, it did not have any issue. Then I uninstalled flash, deleted the registry key and then installed flash again. Now, I am able to view the embedded video in standard account.

Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

Hi-
I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
-=SB

can we see this border? URL?

Links stop working

I created a link in a PDF to open a file and it worked just fine. Now after several Adobe updates they stopped working both using Acrobat 8 Pro and Reader 9. I checked the link and in the link it points to the correct location of the file on the hard drive or DVD drive but Windows says it can not find the file.
The message that appears is "Windows cannot find '01_01_welcome.mov'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." the next message comes from Adobe Acrobat "Could not open the file ''01 Introduction/01_01_welcome.mov'.
I checked the properties of the link and in Actions it is listed as Open a file, File:D:\Quickbooks Pro Training\01 Introduction\01_01_Welcome.mov
On my laptop I uninstalled Reader 9.3.4 and installed Reader 8.1.2 and the links worked. I then uninstalled Reader 8.1.2 and re-installed Reader 9.3.4 and they stopped working.
Any suggestions to help me fix this issue?
Thanks

This bug has been reported by others and appears to have been introduced with 9.3.4. I have not heard of any fixes, you you may have to wait for a future update from Adobe.

Embedding Flash Video - Help needed!

I'm fairly new to Flash and trying to embed a video to my
website. When I import my video and test the movie, it works
perfectly, showing the controls at the bottom and everything. When
I add it to Dreamweaver and test the page, it only shows the video
(sans media controls) and automatically plays when the page is
loaded. What am I doing wrong??
I'd like to upload the flash video w/media controls beneath
it, to dreamweaver and it remain paused until the viewer hits the
play button.
Can anyone help?

Dreamweaver does not reflect full functionality, you need to
upload your stuff to
server or test in browser. Best way to make sure things
works.
If your HTML refer to the SWF in some directory, make sure
you have correct paths
to the player skin (the video controls).

Safari is not playing certain flash videos that used to work

I just installed Mac OS X (10.6.4) Snow Leopard yesterday. A website that I was previously able to stream flash video on is no longer working since moving from Mac OS X (10.5) to Snow Leopard. Maybe there is a new add-on that I'm missing. I'm using Safari 5.0.2 as a browser (the flash video does not play on Firefox either). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the link to the site: http://mnn2.mnntv.org/OnAir/flash
