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

  • 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 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.

  • Flash player stops working after a few days.

    I'm recently having issues with flash player on IE and Firefox each time a new version is released. This time the flash player stops working after a few days without any reasons. I have asked two other questions and I have tried the solutions but this time they are not working:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4617987#4617987
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4548211#4548211
    Could anyone tell me what the reason is?
    I also need links providing Flash player for IE and Firefox which are always updated. I need to first download the installer then install it offline not install it directly from adobe website.
    Please help me solve this once forever!

  • 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.

  • Adobe Flash Will Stop Working After Advertisements In Middle Of Video

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the new version (11.3.300.268) of Adobe Flash, along with restarting my computer, and using Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome.
    My OS: Windows 7 (64-Bit)
    My flash works fine for streaming on CTV as well as Youtube. I continue to have problems using global and slice video centres.
    On Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome - video was able to load, watching the first 10 min of any video and once an advertisement during the video plays (like a commercial), video will go black and stay that way.
    Now on Firefox, when I press play to watch a video on global or slice video will freeze my whole computer for 30 seconds to approximately 1 minute and then turn into a grey screen and show a message saying adobe has crashed. I have sent a crash report on that multiple times.
    It was working fine a few days ago. Not sure if I had updated something which caused Adobe Flash to stop working. Would like to know how to fix it.

    This seems like a problem with Flash. Have you contacted Adobe about this?

  • Adobe flash player stopped working properly please help

    i'm using adobe flash player version10.0.32.18 on vista, and everytime i open my facebook application, i often encountered adobe flash player stopped working properly, then the page will recover, then after few minutes it will stopped then recover again. please someone help me how to solve this problem.

    Hi, Thanks. Your Flash Player files and the SWO(if it is vs 10.0.45.2) are correct. Are you having problems on other sites
    or just that one? Are you getting a message that is different than "you need to update your Flash Player?"
    Many times it is the websites or if you are getting this from a game, then that can be causing the problem. I haven't been
    able to determine if the websites that have NOT updated to support the latest Flash Player are just putting out a generic
    message or not.  You might want to check with the site to see if they support FP vs 10.0.45.2.
    You may have an add on that is conflicting also, it is hard to tell. Some anti-virus programs have add ons that may conflict.
    Since several users are having problems with Facebook, Farmville, Zynga, etc. my opinion is that it is not your computer.
    One that posted here is waiting on a reply.
    Thanks,

  • 10.7.5 update caused Flash to stop working!

    I updated to OSX 10.7.5 today and now Flash has stopped working.  I tried updating flash on Adobe's website and still nothing.  Anyone else run into a similar problem?

    Have you tried completely uninstalling it first, using the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the Utilities folder, and then re-installing anew: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8

    Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
    I have:
    1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
    2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
    Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
    What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.

    Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and  it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software.

  • Linux - after update to firefox 5 64-bit flash player stopped working

    After updating firefox 5 (from stable repo) the flash player stopped working.
    I have had installed the adobe flash player square (64 bit) - by following http://queleimporta.com/en/finally-adobe-releases-native-64-bit-flash-10-for-linux/ ...
    The .so library is still on its place(/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so), though firefox does not seem to have flash player installed.
    before update to firefox 5 it worked
    system is Xubuntu 10.04

    Finally I've found out that it's possible to install flash from lucid repositories (which works... named 'flashplugin installer')... I've never noticed that before... So sorry for asking stupid question and thanks to anyone who spend some time even only by reading this thread.
    //EDIT: so question 2 - how to tag the topic as solved? :)

  • Flash Forms Stopped Working In ColdFusion 9

    We moved our websites, many of which use Flash Forms, from a server running ColdFusion 7 to a server running ColdFusion 9.
    At first all the Flash Forms in the various websites worked fine.
    However, on the same day all the Flash Forms stopped working on the ColdFusion 9 server.  No changes were made to the websites, to IIS 6, or to ColdFusion.  We've restarted ColdFusion, IIS 6, and the server.
    The error we get when loading a page that includes a Flash Form is:
    412 Unknown
    Here is the output reported by FireBug when loading a page (for example http://www.futurefamilydocs.org/test/testflashforms/index.cfm) that includes a Flash Form
    The same page with the same flash form works fine in our ColdFusion 7 server (for example see: http://test.futurefamilydocs.org/test/testflashforms/index.cfm)
    We cannot figure out what the issue is.  Both servers are setup exactly the same Windows 2003, IIS 6, same ColdFusion settings, same access rights for internet users.
    We'd appreciate any help as it will be significant work for use to change all the Flash Forms to normal forms.  We're a small non-profit company and this is having a big impact on our members until we get it fixed or replace all the Flash Forms.
    Thank You
    Bruce Phillips

    We have found the error message coldfusion is generating when we try to access a page that has a flash form:
    C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\logs\coldfusion-event.log
    03/29 13:02:45 user CFSwfServlet: Error: The class  'mx.rpc.RemoteClassRelayResponder' could not be loaded.
    03/29  13:02:45 user CFSwfServlet:  at  C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\futurefamilydocs\test\testflashforms\inde.mxml:393
    I researched that error and found suggestions to redo the IIS configuration for ColdFusion.  I did that but still get the same error.

  • Flash player stopped working in safari

    I have just noticed that flash has stopped working on my mac in safari, i have tried uninstalling using the uninstaller from adobe and reinstalling flashplayer 9 but it still wont work, anyone else having problems or know of a fix?
    working fine in firefox but thats just too ugly

    Try the hint posted here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3842040#3842040
    Worked for me at least...
    "I had a similar problem with a few image types. The fix for me was to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES > QUICKTIME > ADVANCED, click on MIME SETTINGS and then USE DEFAULTS.
    I dunno if it broke more than it fixed, but everything started working again and I've noticed no adverse affects. I think, for me, a recent flash player update messed up a few mime settings.
    In any case, I hope this helps! "

  • Problem on flash, cannot play movie error(Adobe Flash CS3 stop working)... help guys...

    Just a minute ago my .fla file can be played. But after several minute when I added movie clips and animations. It just crashed down I guess, Adobe Flash CS3 stop working. I'm using Microsoft Vista operating system. I have an antivirus subscription which is McAfee with automatic update. I think it's a virus or what? I dunno what to do. I got a long way already with my animation on my file. When I will start from the very beginning it would be a mess and it will consumed a lot of time.
    Four to five attempts of testing the movie:
    error msg: Adobe Flash CS3 stop working.
    After several minute, test the movie again:
    error msg: Flash CS3 memory overload, I dont know the exact error message.
    I inspect the microsoft dialog and views the problem, it says APPCRASH, Flash.exe and has several .dll and other components did not load.
    Need help,
    Godspeed us all,

    first, open flash without opening a fla.  if it opens ok, create a new fla and save it.  close flash and reopen the new empty fla and test it.
    if that all works ok, open your project fla.  save it with a different name.  close flash, reopen the renamed project fla and attempt to test it.  any problem?

  • My flash player stops working after a reboot.

    My flash player stops working after a reboot. i have flash 12.0.044 installed on a dell laptop with windows 7. The flash works fine until the next day when I restart my computer. If I go to control panel / programs and features I notice that the program is still there but the icon has turned blank. If I re-install it works fine until the next reboot. I have asked the IT services company we work with and they have completely ‘rebuild’ my computer. (Installed new windows etc etc) and still the problem won’t go away.  I am at a loss. Who can help? Thank you so much in advance. Duncan
