Embedded Flash Video Problem

I'm using DWCS3. Could someone take a look at the source on this page and hopefully give me some idea why the embedded video won't show, much less play, on IE and Firefox? It displays and plays fine in Chrome and Safari. All the scripts and everything else have been uploaded to the server. I'm stumped.

Hi Larry,
there is no problem with your video in my IE8, see my screenshot:
Maybe you just have to wait a little bit longer, so that your processor can show the video. If you want to correct something (my IE8 shows it in this manner), maybe you can increase the contrast of your text a little bit.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 is not displaying embedded flash video contents on Facebook and some other sites

When I want to watch Flash videos embedded into Facebook pages videos are not displayed as they should be. Where the video should be seen there is only blank white space. Audio is running normally though. If I click FULL SCREEN video mode Flash video
is displayed normally. Only in small screen modes Flash videos are not displayed properly.
I have tried playing same videos using Google Chrome which is also using Flash ActiveX and everything is working fine there. Firefox which is using Flash Plugin also works fine. Only IE11 is not working as it should.
I have already reinstalled Flash Player and disabled all IE11 addons but problem is still there. I would say this is not Adobe Flash Player problem as in Chrome everything works fine.
Both the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player and updated IE11 are installed on my computer.
Can you, please, tell me what should I do to fix this problem.
A screenshot of embedded video:

If I click FULL SCREEN video mode Flash video is displayed normally. Only in small screen modes Flash videos are not displayed properly.
I would say this is not Adobe Flash Player problem as in Chrome everything works fine.
Comparing with Chrome may not be relevant but it sounds like something about the screen size is making the Flash program act differently in the two environments. Supposedly there is a debug version of Flash but I don't know if there is a debug version
for the Flash that is embedded in W8.
Is there a publicly accessible repro page someone could use to compare their symptoms with yours?

Adobe flash video problem

For the last couple of weeks i have run into a problem with both U-Tube videaos and yahoo vodeos.
In the middle of the videao a pop-up comes on from either of two entities s.ytimg and d.yimg.
There is a lot of dialogue about this (per google search) but I still don't know if it a virus/malware, or an intrusive adverising site.
Adobe has very vague info on this (they disclaim having anything to do with it) but to me it is unreasonable for U-tube (google) or yahoo to actuallyendorse this .
I never click allow, but the thing is insistant and does not go away.
Any help?

Thanks for the added information, but that doesn't alter the fact that Firefox is seriously crippled -- that is to say, useless -- as a medium for web video.
I don't know whether the assertion that Flash 11.3 is "buggy" and it is Adobe's fault is more true, than to say that Firefox 20+ is "buggy" with regard to Flash 11.3.
It seems both developer teams are pointing in the other direction to claim "It's their fault, not ours" and using that as an excuse not to fix the problem.
Since it is unlikely that the complaints of Firefox users is going to move Adobe to "fix" Flash, it seems to me much clearer that it is the obligation of Mozilla to fix Firefox so that it works with Flash.
Again, this problem has gone on for sufficient years, anyone would conclude that Mozilla should have fixed it by now.
What is even more annoying, is the way that Mozilla representatives who should know better, send people who report this problem and quite reasonably ask for a solution, off on 15 dozen different kinds of fools' errands for "solutions" that don't address the problem that anyone with any experience realizes is a basic conflict between Flash 11 and any FF version much beyond 18 or so.
There needs to be a consolidation of all the many different threads addressing this problem with a top-level advisory that all the proffered sub-fixes (blaming this or that setting or plug-in) is really NOT going to solve the fundamental Flash-Firefox video incompatibility.
We FF users are left with the unacceptable choice of abandoning access to Flash videos if we want to continue using FF for all its other capabilities and special features -- or we have to constantly be uninstalling Flash 11, installing Flash 10, watch our videos, then uninstall Flash 10 and reinstall Flash 11 to do anything else.
This is ridiculous.
When is Mozilla going to acknowledge and fix this problem?

Flash Video problem on one particular website.

I am trying to play Progressive Download video on a website.
I do this
at least 20 times a month .. no issues. This one site will
not show up and
I have redone the page approx. 20 times with no results in
any browser.
The page is in my root .. the FLV is in a folder called video
.. the script
is in the Scripts folder. The ProgressiveFLV and skin swfs
are in the main
folder.
I use an identical configuration on other sites on the same
server with no
problem. It tests perfectly in localhost. But nothing shows
up on the
server.
and YES .. I DID FTP the scripts folder. I solve this problem
for people
every day of the week .. but I can't get this site to work.
Any thoughts?
http://www.otglifestyle.com/video1.html
On the last attempt, it actually crashed Firefox .. anyone
know what is
going on here?
Thanks!

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?

Embeding Flash Video on other websites

I would like to be able to share some of our website videos
with other
websites.
The idea is the same as Google Videos which allows a user to
cut a snippet
of code and paste that into their own webpage. The result is
a Flash video
'playing' on the end users website but really streaming from
Google Video.
Here is an example of the code offered by Google Videos
<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;"
id="VideoPlayback" align="middle"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="
http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=6960295146523698319"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" quality="best"
bgcolor="#ffffff"
scale="noScale" wmode="window" salign="TL"
FlashVars="playerMode=embedded">
</embed>
I'm no Flash expert, but is this one Flash file
(googleplayer.swf) calling
the database record ID for the .flv file?
Thanks!!!
-Joe

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
or
Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

Newbie asks about embeding flash video in simple HTML

Big newbie here. Appreciate any help. Just point me to an appropriate forum.
I was using DivX but, I wanted to try Flash.
I am NOT using any formal publishing software - just simple HTML I'm using <object> and <embed> tags to display a flash video.
Everything seems OK but, I want controls (play, pause, volume, etc) for the player and I want to display an image when the video isn't playing.
This stuff is common on other web sites so I know it's possible. But, I can't seem to do this with parameters. What am I missing?
Thanks!!!

Flash video problems in http

Hello,
I am having problems publishing flash video in a http server.
I am streamming video from a server using a MediaPlayBack
component. All works well till this point. When insert the swf in a
html file and play it using the "http path" (
http://..../dilo.htm), the swf
doesn´t play the video. Altought .swf and .flv files are in
the same directory. But if open de html file using the IP path
(10.12.134.../dilo.htm), it works.
Can anybody tell me why is this happening? Any solution?
Thanks

6-15-2012 upgrade and browser flash video problems.

The 6-15-2012 upgrade for flash player v. 11.3.300.257 causes flash videos not to load in the firefox browser.
What can I do to remedy this situation besides rolling back to a previous version or disabling protected mode
permanently?
Flash content does not appear at all in my browser (firefox v. 5.0), and I do not have realplayer installed.
There is no crashing, error message, flash video content does not even appear. Changing browser settings and
preferences or disabling addons does nothing. This problem has never occured before the 6-15-2012 update.
The operating system is W7 64 bit.
Troubleshooting methods outlined on page http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#4468493 do not work.

"Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either
revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that
Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved." If I cannot resolve this issue then I
cannot manually re-enable protected mode. Again, is there any solution that does not involve rolling back to
an earlier version or disabling any sort of protection?

RE: "We strongly recommend that
Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved."
If I cannot resolve this issue then I cannot manually re-enable protected mode.
What they mean is when Adobe resolves this issue. So far, there's nothing the user can do if the protected mode is what is causing the problems.
If you look over the dozens and dozes of posts about this, you'll see that some progress has been made. The bug causing Firefox's "silent crashes" or crashes upon close-out has been duplicated, and according to some sources, has been "resolved," but so far, no patches or formal announcements have been made.
Since there seems to be a host of problems associated with Flash Player 11.3.300.257--conflicts with Real Player; constant crashes; excessive memory/CPU usage, etc.-- I'd imagine that Adobe will try to (hopefully) fix as many as possible in the next version.
In the meantime, we'll all have to wait it out using the earlier version or the new version that we--ourselves--have had to hack to disable "protected mode." Not knowing how vulnerable Flash Player is without the Protected Mode, I'm staying away from sites with Flash Content as much as possible. Unfortunately, since most of my browsing involves business related activities, and since many, many business related sites have some Flash content, this can be a challenge.
