Embedding Flash in HTML using Dreamweaver - stopped working

Hi all, not really sure what's going on, but I've done this many times before and it's worked fine.
I've previously embedding Flash videos I've created in Premiere and/or converted using other software. I simply drag and drop the Flash file where I want it and then adjust layout using code/design etc and that's it, job done. It's always played back fine.
Now for some reason I've tried doing it again this morning and can't figure it out. When I preview the file it doesn't even show the video, but instead displays all the icons for the controls at once in a grid where the video is meant to be. I've tried in IE, Firefox and Chrome, updated drivers, windows, Adobe, Flash etc all to no avail.
I've even tried doing it in a blank HTML page in case some of the template I might have been using was interfering for some strange reason; still no luck. What's even stranger is that a site I created last year is also now not displaying Flash (FLV) content locally, but is working fine on the server.
Does anyone have any ideas?
(CS5 Dw:V11 build 4993, Win7 64bit SP1)
I've pasted the code from the blank HTML page. It's probably something really simple that I've not noticed:

Im' having a VERY similar problem with a few estra 'happy' moments. I have a blog (WP). On this simple and VERY basic blog (with almost NO plug ins) I have attempted to embed FLV videos with CS$ Dreamweaver code.
(This code is different in CS$ than it was in earlier versions as it now calls to the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf as the player and uses Flashvars to pass the value of the FLV. PReviously, it was four simple lines of code that pointed directly to the SWF)
Here was my process - I encoded the files with AE and Media Encoder to end up with Transparent FLV's. These, I then setup in Dreamweaver so I could copy the embed code. On my first attempt, it worked PERFECTLY. I was testing one particular flv, got the code and inserted it into the blog page with some special CSS to position it.
The movie played perfectly.
Then things got weird.
I was excited I had a solution, so I went to put another video on another page. No luck. The second page was playing the video from the first page. As if I had copied the same code, but I hadn't. I copied code that was 'pointing' to the new file, but for whatever reason, the new file would not play.
I did EVERYTHING. I deleted all the pages and strted fresh. I deleted the FLV's and reuploaded them. I created different folders and put each flv in it and created index.html files for each (assuming possibly there was a hardcoded element in the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf). I copied and pasted back and forth for nearly 6 hours.
Nothing. Each time I would copy and paste code into a blog page, it would simply pull the original video.
THEN....things got worse.
I pulled one video off of the server, and now NONE work. I can't get ANY videos to play. Worse, I still have the 'express install' link showing.
Ok, so here is what I am trying to figure out;
Does the NEW DW CS4 code somehow have control over the file that is called? Further, HOW can I get more than one FLV to play across a whole blog site.
Here is a link to one of the pages that HAS code but is calling NOTHING. And please know that I have left copies of the necessary files ALL over the server. So they are in the root, in the 'files' folder, in the talent folder and everywhere.
Is there a conflict flash hits when there are multiple FLV's being called? Is there a way to do this? Please help....
Thank you

Can I set a static frame (jpg or png) image as a poster image when embedding flash video into a dreamweaver page?

hello everybody - my subject line pretty much says it all...
i'm looking to have my users see a single static frame (a
poster image) that they can then click on to start playing a video.
how do i set this in either flash or dreamweaver?
anybody have any info?
much appreciated!

Will the video appear in place of the image clicked on? Or
will it be in a
separate window?

HELP! Embedding Flash with Dreamweaver CS4

Hello i'm have issues with CS4 embedding Flash FLV's.
It won't show up when it's on the server but it's working
locally.
i've uploaded all the files in the scripts folder and the swf
skin files.
But it still won't work server-side.
I did not have this issue with dreamweaver CS3 as i've found
that Dreameaver CS4 seems to
change how the code of how the .FLV is embedded
any ideas??
or is anyone else having this issue?
thanks
Jordan
here's is my current test page link with a sample flv video:
http://www.lambethdesktop.com/flashtest/index.html
i've also attached the code of the html page it has been
embedded in.

This script appears to be missing (or uploaded to the wrong
folder)

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.

Two Questions Re: Embedding Flash and Tables Shortcut

.
Two Questions Re: Embedding Flash and Tables Shortcut
1) I work on a Mac and use Dreamweaver 8. Often I like to
embed Flash objects into a page and I do this by using
Dreamweaver's INSERT > MEDIA > FLASH. However, the SWF file
doesn't show up on the published web page and I’ve never had
this issue using previous versions, so I’m not sure what to
do? Here's what Dreamweaver generates when I use their INSERT
feature:
<script type="text/javascript">

It seems a bit weird that the SWF file is not showing
considering Flash & Dreamweaver are the most compatible apps,
no? I’m assuming if Dreamweaver is generating this code it
should work, no?
2) I’m getting an error when trying to use the Tables
short cut COMMAND+ OPTION+T that reads...
"While executing objectTag, the following JavaScript error(s)
occurred:
At line 26 of file “Macintosh
HD:Applications:Macromedia Dreamweaver 8:

TypeError: cmdDOM.parentWindo.createTableStr is not a
function"
What’s strange is it was working fine last week and for
the life of me I don’t know what could of happened to make
this shortcut get corrupted?
I’ve reinstalled the app multiple times and still I get
the same error :-(
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

It works. Most likely you have not uploaded the Scripts
folder referenced
in the head of the page.

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.

Adobe Reader cannot play embedded Flash content

I don't know why, the Flash format was originally created by Macromedia, and then Adobe acquired the company, but the Adobe Reader cannot display Flash content.
My PDF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/agi-book.pdf
Scroll to page 37.
The original SWF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/unified-AND-OR.swf
which *can* be played on my Chrome browser.
But when I embedded the SWF file in the PDF, the result is unplayable.
A clue is: Adobe Reader asked me to download QuickTime to display media contents. So I downloaded QuickTime. But QuickTime nowadays has removed Flash support. Why did Adobe Reader ask me to download QuickTime to display Flash, when Adobe owns the Flash format?
I have also tried selecting other media players in the Reader's option box (eg, Windows Media, Windows built-in, Adobe Flash, etc) but none of them works.
I have also tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. Same result.
It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader most certainly CAN play embedded Flash content, but only if you embed it properly.
You're seeing a Quicktime warning because you're embedding the SWF as "legacy media" content - this is no longer supported for authoring and is disabled by default for playback.You should use Rich Media Annotations instead (embedding using the multimedia/flash tool in Acrobat 9 or Acrobat X).

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.

Embedding Flash in Word 2010 - convert to PDF

Trying to create a PDF with embedded Flash video. Every time I create the PDF it replaces one of the other jpgs in the file with the flash embed and leave a large blank area where the Flash was embedded in the Word doc.....any suggestions?

Thanks - it’s a new feature in X - but maybe its not ready for prime time yet..

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

Viewing new template in dreamweaver cs3 reverst to front page ??

When i save a new template in Dreamweaver CS3 and then try to preview in IExploer it asks me "do you wnat to open or save this file? when i select either it reverst to my old MS Front Page editor

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the

Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html
and CSS. Flash sites look nice but they are not friendly for

How do I invert the horizontal trackpad scrolling in Dreamweaver CC code window (Mac)?

Having recently installed CC I'm enjoying all the apps so far...although Dreamweaver (which I use quite a lot) is showing unusual scrolling behaviour.
In my previous version of Creative Suite, for all apps I have a two-handed approach where I use the trackpad to navigate around the document with two fingers, while using a mouse to select the code/element etc.
I have already turned off the default 'natural' vertical scroll because it feels more intuitive to me (i.e. if I want to scroll down the page, I pull down with two fingers).
However, with this new version of Dreamweaver, it breaks convention by having reversed the left-right scroll direction, which has thrown me because it is the only app so far that goes against the norm. Previously if I wanted to see code off the right hand side of the window, I would swipe right, but now I have to swipe left. I had a look at the settings and couldn't see a way of changing this.
Can anyone help?

Can HTML affect embeded FLASH

I am trying to find out if there is any way to have the HTML
send informaion to the embedded FLASH file. I need to change 2
peices of information on the FLASH file when it loads on the page
(based on the page it comes up on.) Is there a way to have the HTML
send a message to FLASH that says use "pic_2.jpg" or a way for
Flash to look into the HTML to find its directive. Better yet, is
there a way to let flash know what file it is within, and search
the XML file based on the parameter of location? Please
help.

Hi adjourney,
External images should work in the same way (via flashvars).
You can do
this in a two step process as you suggested, or directly via
the
embedding variables. I'll assume you want the simpler of the
two so you
would do something like this:
The HTML embedding code would look like this:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="354" height="63" id="myFlashThing" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="flashvars" value="imageFile=myImage.jpg"
/>
<param name="movie" value="flashFile.swf" /><param
name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#cccccc"
/> <embed
src="flashFile.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#cccccc"
width="354"
height="63" name="forumLogo" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false"
flashvars="imageFile=myImage.jpg"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
Notice that you need to include the file name two...once as a
"param"
and then again in the "embed" tag. This is done to compensate
for
differences between FireFox/Mozilla browsers and
InternetExplorer-style
browsers.
In Flash, getting the image file name couldn't be easier. In
ActionScript 2.0, this is simply available as:
_level0.imageFile
In ActionScript 3.0, this is available as:
this.loaderInfo.parameters.imageFile from the class that's
associated
with the main movie clip (the Document class).
Now you simply take this value and use a loadMovie or Loader
instance to
get your image.
If you wanted to specify an XML file and then some identified
within it,
the flashvar would look something like this:
xmlFile=data.xml&offset=5
And this would be received as two separate values in Flash:
_level0.xmlFile and _level0.offset (and the associated ones
for AS 3).
Of course this is a bit of overkill...if you're specifying a
file and
then hardcoding a link within that file...you might as well
specify the
file right off the top. But I guess that's up to you.
Good luck,
Patrick

Embedded Flash

Hello,
Looking for some insight here.
I have embedded a Flash video on a web page (
http://www.cirilloworld.com/gallery_test.html)
and it works great . One thing i was wondering is that the palyer
controls are visible ( with a nice amount of opacity) on page load.
After the first time the mouse floats over, the controls disappear
until athe mouse floats over again.
Any one know what I can do to keep the controls visible at
all times.
Appreciate any help,
DEL
