Embedded SWF video = slow loading page?

Hello and good morning,
I have recently created a website on DreamWeaver 8 with three
SWF videos (not FLV but SWF) embedded on it. The videos are
supposed to be set at "progressive download" but the page takes
ages to load up, as if the browser was loading up the videos as it
loads up the page itself.
Any ideas? Thank you!

Thanks, Hans
I should have noted in my first post that this was through Firefox... But regarding IE 8 (im using Windows 7 on my PC) it's slow from the very start and will sometimes skip, stutter and even completely stop half way through.
The original animation test should be much quicker.. about 4 seconds.
Im wondering if anyone else can verify this on their browser?

My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages

My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages. It doesn't matter where I am, so I don' t think it is related to the wi-fi service.

Safari now slow loading pages from Apple!

This is an add on from a future post today with this problem. Safari slow loading pages, NOW even slow loading Apple pages here on the discussion board.

Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Safari slow loading pages

I am wondering if I should test out Firefox, I have heard that it runs fast, but not sure how it compares to Safari. I have noticed that lately Safari is running very slow loading pages. I went to Macrumors.com and it took a good 30 seconds to get the screen to fully load. I am not sure if the fact that I am also backing up using TM and connecting wirelessly to my HD using AEBS is causing some slow down? Any ideas?

Just in case you have not received an answer. I have both Safari and Firefox on a August 2006 white 24" iMac (2GB RAM) with a medium speed DSL connection via ethernet to modem/router. Both load very slowly, often on the order of 25-30 seconds. This is true for opening the home page and for opening a bookmarked page once home page is reached. Apple Rumors for example, always takes a minimum of 30 sec. Mail also loads slowly. If I use the wireless connection, it takes somewhat longer to load a page in both Safari and Firefox.
I also run Parallels with Windows XP SP2 and Firefox on this machine. When I open Firefox in Windows, it takes about 5 seconds, sometimes 7 to reach home page and after that the same speed to open a bookmarked page.
I have a PC with Windows XP SP2 in the basement connected to the router/modem vis USB. Firefox opens a page in 5 seconds or less.
I'd like to replace this PC (it has screen freeze problems) with a new iMac, but am reluctant to surf at Safari speeds.

Embedded SWF very slow to load in browser

I have placed a swf slide show in Flash catalyst about 500k the problem is when I playback in the browser the embedded swf file displays long after the rest of the website has loaded and built. It works fine after I refresh and the file is loaded in the Cache.. but makes for a poor user experience when viewing for the first time, First impressions count.
If I place the 500k swf in Dreamweaver it loads almost instantly from the remote server.
For some reason Flash catalyst has a difficult time decoding and playing.
The flash file was built in CS5 default settings.
Any help on having the swf load first or process faster would be great.
I know that file size is a issue but 500k is not that much.
Heres the url.

Hi Tanya,

IE7 and Multiple Embedded SWF Videos Not Working

We have a page that contains 2 videos that are streamed from our media hosting company. The code is fairly straightforward,
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://xxx.xxx.xxx/your.swf" width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" value=http://xxx.xxx.xxx/your.swf"" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="streamer=rtmp://zzz.zzz.zzz/zzz.flv&autoplay=false" />
</object>
Similar code is used for the second video. The embed code is actually generated from the hosting company and has worked every time. Firefox and Chrome display both videos with no problem. However, IE7 only displays the second video. The first video just has white space where the video should be.
I have used 'embed' tag and conditional object tags (for IE), rewritten the code from scratch, changed the z-index, used Flash to generate code, cleared the cache - all to no avail. Is IE7 incapable of having multiple SWF files on the same page?
**I did notice that changing the autoplay attribute to true will allow for the video to display, however, the playback controls are not available.
Any ideas on how to get this working in IE7?
Thanks in advance

Another me too. In particular the symptoms are this:
+ any YouTube video embedded within a webpage loads the poster frame and the controls, but after clicking the play button only shows the progress indicator briefly before showing "An error occurred, please try again later." within the video frame.
+ the same YouTube videos play fine on the YouTube site.
+ other Internet video plays fine, embedded or not.
+ when the error occurs Safari reports "One error in opening the page. For more information, choose Window > Activity".
+ the Activity window shows "forbidden" for http://v13.lscache4.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2 Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWSVhMVV9FSkNNNl9QRllH &fexp=900028&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1 274817600&key=yt1&signature=C15947474FA80C9A1B9DA597103C5FF7D621A478.0C1490DE456 5D519F602B0043A4E1F9D800417A0&factor=1.25&id=c3e8886e8b459334
+ the same URL downloads fine when visiting YouTube directly, except the signature value is different.
I have tested the following:
+ the same computer worked fine a week or so ago
+ other computers on the same shared ADSL connection work fine
+ Firefox works fine (contrary to other's experiences)
+ deleting com.apple.Safari.plist doesn't help
+ disabling/enabling the "Enable Plug-ins" preference doesn't help
+ deleting Preferences/Macromedia folder doesn't help
+ reinstalling Flash doesn't help
+ empty cache doesn't help
Tis quite perplexing.

Removing Flash Margins in Embedded SWF video

We have embedded a SWF video on an html page and there are
blank margins on the left and right side of the image, video. We
used this code to embed the video. <object width="497"
height="397">
<param name="movie"
value="Final_ani_Transportation.swf">
<embed src="Final_ani_Transportation.swf" width="497"
height="397"></embed>
</object>
Thanks

Just curious...is the code you posted used to constrain the
SWF to its proper size?
<object width="497" height="397">
<param name="movie"
value="Final_ani_Transportation.swf">
<embed src="Final_ani_Transportation.swf" width="497"
height="397"></embed>
</object>

Embedded swf video is cropped off

I'm embedding a video from smugmug. When I post it on another site (not iWeb generated) it posts okay. But with iWeb the video is cropped off on the right. I was told that the "holding area" width needs to be changed, but I don't know how to do that. I'm assuming that is referring to the Web Widget dimensions, but it gets sized according to the size of the embedded video. Here is the source code:
<object width="425" height="318"><param name="movie" value="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008050901.swf" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashVars" value="s=ZT0xJmk9MzI5MzIwNzM1Jms9dWltcXomYT00MDA2MjQwXzhoSnlOJnU9dXBkZWZvcnVt" /><embed src="http://www.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008050901.swf" flashVars="s=ZT0xJmk9MzI5MzIwNzM1Jms9dWltcXomYT00MDA2MjQwXzhoSnlOJnU9dXBkZWZvcn Vt" width="425" height="318" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object>
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

According to the source of the page the width is 350 and the height is 400.
<div class="com-apple-iweb-widget-HTMLRegion" id="widget1" style="height: 400px; left: 175px; position: absolute; top: 14px; width: 350px; z-index: 1; ">
<iframe id="widget1-frame" src=".//Homefiles/widget1markup.html" frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
</div>
I suggest you delete the widget and add a new one. Paste the code of your flash movie and click Done.
iWeb will create a box the size of the movie.

FIRE FOX IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER LOADING PAGES I GO TO ONLINE. IT LOAD CIRCLE STOP SPINNING AND WILL START BACK BUT IT TAKES IT'S TIME TO DO SO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON THROUGH THE LAST SEVERAL UPGRADES.

FIRE FOX USED TO BE A FAST BROWSER BUT IT IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER. THE BLUE-E IS ABOUT TO THE POINT OF BEING FASTER THEM THE FOX. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE THE FOX, JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE LONGER I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN ARE UP THE WORSE IT GETS. I DO A LOT OF GAMING ON FACEBOOK PLAYING MAFIA WARS BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THERE IT IS ALL THE TIME AND EVERY WHERE. I HAVE TRIED ADD-ON'S THINKING THEY MAY HELP BUT NOTHING HAS DONE ANY GOOD. CHROME IS TWICE IF NOT THREE
TIMES AS FAST AS THE FOX LATELY ON LOADING PAGES.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Safari is Extremely slow loading pages, like Hotmail, eBay, CNN,

For the past few days, Safari has been extremely slow loading most all pages, especially Hotmail, eBay, CNN, etc. Apple support hasn't been able to help. Hve done all the normal stuff, Reset Safari, restarted, etc.... eventually reloaded Leopard, with all updates, 10.5.2. Still slow uploading pages. Have checked network with speedtest.net, Download 5019 kb/s, Upload 363 kb/s. Was told by everyone I asked, these were good speeds, "normal." But it takes 20 seconds - 60 seconds sometime to upload a page. Have watched "activity monitor" under network, "data sent" goes out fast, data received seems to come back but then stalls. I'm not sure of what numbers I should be getting on the return. Any suggestions????

READ my post, March 17, for answers. I read other post, March 15-08, by Toshinmac and March 17-08 post by Rudolf, answered by Hawaiian Starman and Klaus1. My problem decribed there, with Time-Warner/Roadrunner DNS settings. Followed advice... Problem Solved! Thanks to ALL for their input!!!! A Beachbum!

Safari starts getting slower and slower loading pages

Hi, i have always been a pc person, but recently made the switch to mac. i love it, but have an issue with safari. My internet speed is 17mbps so thats ok. Now after a few weeks of browsing the safari gets slow at loading pages, i have deleted history and emptied the cache. I had spoken with support during the 90 days free support. Now that has expired. They told me to get to the "verify permissions" then do "repair permissions" as there are a lot of error messages that are brought up. Once i have done this the internet is fine again - but obviously somethig is a miss as it starts slowing down over the weeks. Would upgrading to the latest version of snow leopard sort this? any ideas of other reasons. any help much appreciated

(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit.)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

Error with embedded Youtube videos on website pages

On websites that have embedded Youtube videos, I no longer see a still shot of the video , nor do they have a button to allow me play them. Instead I see I message in the box where the video should be, that says "a plugin is needed to display the content". This must be related to a setting I messed up, because a few days ago I didn't have this issue. I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks

Slow loading pages even with a fresh FF install and fresh Profile

Hi, I been having this issues with FF for months now, had to switch to Google Chrome
Pages takes a while to load, transferring data, waiting for website, connecting, while in Google Chrome and other browsers it connect to websites and load pages a lot faster
for the past few months that I have had this issues I tried Resting or installing a fresh copy of FireFox (with new profile), tried to run it without any add-ons, reinstalled windows several times (win7, 8.1, and Win 10 Technical preview "all 64bit") and I even bought a new internet router during that time
tried pipelining configuration in "about:config" nothing fixed the issues, and not certain websites but all the websites I visit, and I finally thought about finding help here because I prefer using FireFox, thank you in advance.

Hey, I tried to restart in Safe mod with network but for some reason, the network is not working still, but I tried the Diagnostic Startup through the System Configuration "msconfig" and tested FF but still having the issues.

Embedding swf in container on page load

I'm trying to figure out what the AS3 script is to have a swf embedded inside of a container, little new to AS3. any help? Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with that code unless you have some object on the stage with the instance name "sliderCont" that you are expecting to have the swf load into. The code creates a loader instance named "sliderCont" and loads an swf into it, and then adds that loader to the display list.
If "sliderCont" is some other object, then you need to pick a different name for your loader and then add the loader as a child of that.
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(new URLRequest("flash-xml3.swf"));
sliderCont.addChild(ldr);
