Flash 9 won't play my Captivate 2 published videos

I recently received a new computer at work. We create videos
with Captivate 2, and the latest versions of Flash (9.115) and
Shockwave (10) are installed on the computer. Creating the videos
is no problem, but when I Publish them, Flash 9 or Shockwave 10,
I'm not sure, will not play the published .swf files. When I try to
choose "Open With" I cannot find a file on my computer that is the
actual Flash Player. When I click on the file to open it, it gives
me an Adobe message that asks me to download an update. I download
the update, and it says it was successful and the new version will
be available after Restart. But when I restart and try it again, I
get the same update message over and over again. It still works on
my old computer, which has Flash 9.0.47.0 and Shockwave 10.2.0.23.
I'm intentionally dismissihng the update notifications that I
receive on my old computer for fear getting the same error.
Any suggestions? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling
Captivate, Flash, and Shockwave, and I've tried downloading the
older versions of Flash and Shockwave. I can not find a download
for Flash 7.0 r14, which is what my old computer opens the .swf
files with, even though in Add of Remove Programs the Flash Player
says 9.0.47.0.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this is related to the same problem, but I'm
using DW CS3 and now when I embed a swf file into the html, I can
preview on my computer locally, however when I post on the hosting
server, the swf file does not appear. I've tried two separate
servers and I've received the same results. I've even created a new
html file and simply embeded the swf file and uploaded to server,
same results. Now here's the kicker: If I type the url and point it
directly to the swf file, it does play in the browser, for example:
http://bald-head-island-rental.net/flash/Movie1.swf
If you take a look at the index page where the swf file
should be embedded, you won't see this same file:
http://bald-head-island-rental.net
The file should play just above "Owners: Aaron and Kelly Williams"
Thanks!

Flash player won't play on home pages

My flash player won't play on my browser's home pages. My OS is : windows 7 64 bit ultimate and my browsers are : Mozilla,Chrome, and IE. I have owned this machine since laborday 2012 and all of them worked in the begining. This has been going on for a couple of weeks and I would like to resolve it. Video works normally in places such as youtube,but will not run on the browsers home pages. The strange part of it is that it will run the advertisements,but after that is done it will just set there with the loading icon going for awhile until a message come on that states that the stream could not be found. I just got done checking each browser to see if the players are up to date and they all where current.. Don't know what else to try. Any suggestions ? Thanks

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

Flash movie won't play in PowerPoint

I have created a flash movie, however, when I try to view the
slideshow, all I see is a blank page. I have installed the most
updated Active Controls and the Shockwave Player, but it still
won't play.

Right click. Open up the properties of the embedded swf.
Change 'Playing' to True. Close properties.
Careful, this may not last. I think it automatically reverts
to "playing = Flase"

Flash content won't play if HTML is in a different directory

I have a flash CS3 slideshow that loads it's content from an
external .xml file. If I export the HTML it plays fine, but if I
move the HTML to the site root directory and let dreamweaver update
the links the flash slideshow will not play.
my site is at:
http://www.heavensexpress.org
the flash with the .xml is in
http://www.heavensexpress.org/flash

Flash looks at the current location of the HTML page for the
start of any relative paths. So, if your SWF is in a different
location from the HTML, you will want to use server-relative paths
("/path/to/xml.xml") or absolute paths ("
http://www.mysite.com/path/to/xml.xml")
in the Flash.
If you don't want to change the SWF, move the XML and any
other files relative to the root of the server, and you will be in
business.

Flash Movie won't Play

Good Morning,
I'm sure someone may have asked about this already but...
I'm running Safari 4.0.2 On OS 10.5.7. I am putting my portfolio page (html) onto a CD to make copies to mail out. One of the pieces that I am showing on the html page is an flash animation that I designed.
When I click the link in my page that opens the animation in a separate html page, the flash animation proceeds to play fine...in Firefox, but when I click the link in Safari... I get a blank pop up and the folder containing the actual .swf file pops up.
Not sure what's going on. the .swf plays in all other browsers except Safari. I've checked Safari prefs. and enable plugins is selected.
Any ideas.
Thanks

3D animations created in Flash won't play in Captivate 4

Please open attached.
Can anyone tell me if there is a fix for this. I created a simple 3D spinning animation in Flash and imported into CP4.
Yes I did set the publish settings for both Flash and Captivate to Flash player 10.
This animation completely destroyed the .swf. Sound appears when there was none and sounds like some sort of horror movie. The animation, skin, etc. are completey destroyed. Anyone know of a fix/work around? And yes exporting to animated .gif works with some serious file size, visual and performance issues so I don't wanna go that route.
Thanks AGAIN Adobe
Thanks.

Scott,
3D does work. There's another post on this issue here and it's been answered by Adobe Tech Support. I followed the instructions on that post and your animation worked perfectly. When they talk about opening the project, they mean your Captivate project. If your 3D animation is a keyframe animation, you lose the ability to preview your project in the preview window... however you can still preview the project in the browser (F12). If your animation is a regular 3D transform, you can still preview in the preview window, except your animation won't run. Attached is your 3D animation and I converted it back to a regular 3D transform.
Can you start another thread for your highlight box / button issue?
Hope that helps,
Jim Leichliter

Swf won't play in captivate

Hello all,
I am trying to import a swf file I made with Crystal
Xcelsius. When i open the swf in any program (flash player, flash
8, ppt, etc) it works fine.
When i import it into captivate 2 I can see it properly in
the placeholder but when I preview or publish it doesn't work. I
have tried turning the compression on/off and all flash 6-8.
nothing works.
I have uploaded a tiny swf copy to see if anyone can help me.
It can be found here.
http://www.mediafire.com/?cmdowz4zone
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.

Mike Bubyn -
quote:
Larry, could you elaborate a little more on the AS issue. I
think you right and this is my problems lie (these ones any way).
Where can I access the AS to play around with it? (PS, I've tried
it in C1,C2, C3(beta))
Understand that to export Captivate 2 project files
(*.CP) to Flash, you must have Flash 8 loaded on your machine. That
said, in the same sense that you can choose to publish a Flash
project in a variety of specific versions (Flash ver 6, ver 7,
etc), you can also choose to publish it to conform to a specific
version of Action Script. For instance, in Flash 8 the default AS
is 2.0, but Captivate version 1.1 only supports AS 1, so you can go
to the "File > Publish settings ..." and on the Flash Tab,
select AS 1.
Hope this helps Mike ~
Later
EDIT: I reread my reply above and realized I hadn't really
answered your actual question, to wit, "
where can I access the AS ...". The answer is, export the
Captivate project to Flash, or (same thing a different way ...)
open Flash 8 and create a "New (Flash) Document", then use File
> Import > ... to Stage (or Library). This will open the
Captivate project in the Flash 8 environment. Then to set a
different AS, use the Publish options I mentioned earlier.
**TO ALL: Some Flash geeks treat Captivate as a "add-on" to
Flash, and recommend doing things in Flash that only lead to
problems for the un-Flash person who reads their comments. Be
careful!!! Opening your Captivate project in Flash, or attempting
to edit it in Flash can lead to clinical depression and
tremendously high psychiatric consultation costs UNLESS you are a
Flash geekster. Thanks for listening...

Flash SWF won't play in captovate

Hi all,
I've created a simple flash file in Flash CS3 and published
the SWF and HTML. The SWF and HTML both play fine.
Now I want to insert this into a Captivate file. I have tried
two methods:
Insert Animation into a blank slide
Insert an Animation slide
Both appear to work file to the extent that I can see the
animation in the CP file. However, if I do a preview or publish of
the cp file, the animation isn't playing. What have I missed? Both
the original flash file and the CP file are set to 30fps.
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike
What exactly does your Flash file do? I've seen reports that
some Flash files don't much like being inside of Captivate and
refuse to work properly. But of those, some were referring to
outside resources and others had some "interesting" interactive
effects going on.
Cheers... Rick
