Flash content won't hide properly

I have four DW layers on top of each other, two of which
contain flash content - I have had to set wmode to 'window' in
order to make the movies work in Firefox.
This means however that when I load the page the movies flash
up on screen whilst they are loading before disappearing even
through they layers in which they are contained are set to hide
onLoad (z index has no effect)
I hope this makes sense - does anyone have any ideas ?

What exactly do you mean "won't install properly"?

Flash Player won't open properly?

I seem to have flash player but I don't know why it doesn't open properly. I want to create .swf files with it? What can I do?

Flash Player can only play Flash content, not create SWF files. You will need Flash Builder or Flash Professional for that.

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.

New Images and Flash Content won't display

Working in Dreamweaver MX.
Updating some content to existing pages with flash swf files
and jpegs in them. All of the old content works fine, but when I
replace old swf files with new, or add any new jpg files. I get a
broken link image in the browser, or nothing at all. All of the
file paths appear to be correct. The flash swf files test fine in
the browser before I add them to the page in Dreamweaver. New text
content and the layout are updating fine, the jpegs and swf files
are just not showing up, its as if the files did not exist in the
site.
I have been struggling with this for several days and tried
many different ways of finding the problem, but no success this is
turrning into a nightmare.
Please help- anyone.

Post a link to the pages, please.

Flash Player won't install properly in Mac

I have repeatedly attempted to install the most current version of Adobe Flash Player in my 10.8.4 Mac without success. Actually it installs, but does not give me opportunity to accept your terms (which I am willing to do). When I try to open a file, it is black. What do I have to do to get this to work properly?

Junie,
Hi...
I really appreciate your assistance.... I installed firefox. I have MAC version 10.5.8... I think I should have stated that on my prior post......sorry.
The version of firefox I installed on this mac works until I attempt to use a app that requires flash. I updated the flash player with the correct version that firefox requires.
to no avail will the plugin update. when attempting to update the plugins, I get a message from firefox telling me that I do not have the required system in the mac in order to update the plugins.
So...I am going to continue to investigate and analyze where I am going wrong in my attempts to reinstall adobe flash on this mac....
I will keep you apprised to my outcome. Any further assistance that you may possibly provide me would be Great!!
Thanks again,
Scott

Flash CS4 won't load properly

Hi
Weirdest thing is happening now.
I boot up Flash CS4 and all I see in the upper left corner are the three dots for Apple's Snow Leopard interface.
Flash was working fine yesterday, then last evening, all I got were the three dots.
The menus are there. They open, but they are acting flakey.
I can open up a file, but none of the palettes or interface show up. The stage is located under Apple's menu bar at the 0,0 location of the monitor and unmovable.
I deleted the preference files from my user library and also a file called "Flash 10 mru".
That didn't do a thing.
The only change I made yesterday was an upgrade Adobe supplied for Premiere.
I also upgraded to Snow Leopard over the old Leopard, rather than a clean install.
But Flash was working fine on it for a month before yesterday's three dots attack.
Flash CS3 works fine.
Flash CS4 works fine on my laptop with Snow Leopard.
This morning, I uninstalled the old and reinstalled a new copy. Really at a loss as to what to do.
I was thinking of doing a clean install of Snow Leopard on a new hd and starting over. Before I do all that, I was hoping there was an easier fix.
Please help and thanks in advance.

I know this is almost 2 years old, but since there is no response at all I'm going to dig this thread up rather than create a new one for an identical problem. I'm having this exact issue right now, except I'm just running Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Sometime last week Flash CS4 froze up on me and I had to force quit. Ever since then, when I boot up Flash, I just get the three circles in the top left corner and nothing else. If I try to open a file, it will open, but it shows only part of the stage and nothing else. If I try to change the workspace view, the stage completely disappears, and that's as far as I can get.
I've already uninstalled the entire creative suite, used the CS5 clean up tool, and reinstalled, and am still having the same problem. Any ideas? Pretty desperate here, as my homework relies on a working version of Flash.

New Version of Flash Player Won't Install Properly

Cannot install new version of Adobe Flash Player. Windows 7, 32 Bit. I use Firefox. Firefox is updated. Old version was working fine. Tried to install new because old one was slow and I received prompts to update. Uninstalled old one. Now, I cannot watch anything because every time I try to install the new version, I keep getting a message saying that I cannot install more than one instance of it, and that it is already open. It is not. I am confused. How do I fix this. Yes, plug-ins are allowed. I tried to connect to the part that said to try for a different computer, and chose Windows and Firefox. Still, the same problem. Please help, I am on the verge of tears.

Never mind, I chose this option:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe
It finally allowed me to install. It is working. Adobe, I am disappointed that this update was so frustrating to install. Shame on you.

Flash content won't load in v29

In particular, since updating yesterday I now can't access the OS GetaMap service, seeing just a blank, black page:
http://www.getamap.ordnancesurveyleisure.co.uk/
Also unable to play YouTube videos. Adobe test page looks fine, and updated real player, so not this.

'''Ordnance Survey Leisure'''. Hmm. . . . .Takes a long, long time to load the page.
Well, I got to the sign in. Give these a try; 
I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.
 
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Dreamweaver embedded flash content will not load in IE7

My company standard is IE7
I'm charged with developing flv that will auto play on PC from a removable thumb drive.
in addition it should be able to launch a url.
I'm using CS4 Flash and Dreamweaver
developing on a Mac.
I've used action script 3 to program buttons that start, stop and launch url
I've worked everything out on a Mac.it works fine in Mac environment.
I've gotten swf files to autoplay on PC
the PROBLEM?
when I try load the html web page on the PC with IE7 the flash content (either a swf or flv embedded using Dreamweaver) does not load.
IF I leave the IE specific html in the code IE7 returns a message that flash player needs to update. - IT has installed the latest version of flash player.
if I extract the sniffer/alternative code the flash content does not load there is no message
If the swf file auto loads and plays then Why is that a problem?
action script - to launch url execution launches as a security warning and the trusted settings window
not very seamless eh?
so the alternative is to play the flash content embedded in html and create launch url button in html . . . but ofcourse flash content won't load in IE7.
I've not been able to test the code on any other version of IE
I hope this is enough information to help if not let me know what you need to know . . .
thanks in advance for any time you all spend on this.

So right now you have a SWF file that plays and FLV file and it's not loading in IE7. Is the testing server that you are using NOT on your local machine? The reason I ask this is because IE will typically block content if it is hosted on the local machine and treat it as a security risk, prompting the message you refer to.
Also would it be possible for us to see the code you are using for the plugin? Most users here will be able to help troubleshoot any issues with the HTML code if we can see it, however, there is a possibility that the fix may be in Flash, in which case you should cross-post this in the Flash forum as well for assistance just in case.

I am having the very same problem and have done exactly the same... generated my html through flash professional CS5. It works great in IE8 but is just a blank page in IE7. You did not post the solution, did you find one?

Flash 9 r45 is way too old and a lot of Flash content won't work with such an old version. 
If you want to revert to an older Flash version then get the latest Flash 10.3 version that is still maintained with security updates

Flash content (embedded using SWFObject or using other methods) won't print

All Flash content embedded using SWFObject or using other methods won't print anymore, since version 3.6.4.
There is a blank square on the printed page instead of the object.
There was no trouble with previous firefox version.
I've got the issue with version 3.6.4, 3.6.6 & 3.6.7
I'm using Adobe flash player version 10,1,53,64 ; I've tried to downgrade to Adobe flash player version 9, I'd got the same issue.
I've tried from multiple computer and still had the same blank square.
Thanks for your help !

Having the same problem with our flash based design tool. For now we're recommending that our users use IE as it prints the flash objects fine. Would prefer to use Firefox, but that won't be an option until flash objects can be printed again (as they used to be).

Contribute CS4 setup to hide Flash content that interferes

I am new at using Contribute. I have a page with flash content that overlaps my editable regions text and image areas I want the user to be able to access. I do not want the user to access the flash content. So, how do you as an Contribute administrator or in Dreamweaver perhaps hide the flash or turn it off so that the user can get to the regions underneath? The page/editable regions work fine in Contribute when I take the flash out.
thank you,
Nancy

this is what fixed the issuefor me:
Be sure to try this on a test machine and back it up if needed.

Googlegroups and twitch.tv won't load properly (no content displayed) cleared cookies/cache, nodnsprefetch, no proxy, safemode, didn't help!

googlegroups and twitch.tv won't load properly (no content displayed) cleared cookies/cache, nodnsprefetch=true, made sure no proxy, safemode, didn't help!
The rough page layout works fine, but the actual tv-content (twitch) or the actual message texts (ggroups) won't show up. Also, clicking on the prefernces wheel in ggroups will display a small, empty box instead of a drop down menu filled with stuff.
The pages all work properly in chromium.
Note that youtube and normal google search, freemail provider pages, news pages and basically all other pages i can think of work normally and 100%!
I'm using linux 64bit, firefox 22. This problem however, is not new, it happened with older ff versions too. I'm just tired of firing up chromium each time, so i decided to report it here to get a solution.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Flash won't install properly and I need your help!

Details:
-Computer: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel Core 2 Duo)
-Browser: Safari 5.0.5 (5533.21.1)
-Flash version: Flash 10.3
-Problem: Installation seems successful, but websites still cannot play Flash content and request (again) I download the latest version
Hello everyone!
I hope someone here can help, because this problem is driving me crazy. My Flash has always worked fine until about three weeks ago when Youtube told me to download the latest Flash. Facebook applications were telling me to do the same.
Obediently, I followed the prompts to the Adobe website to download:
-Flash 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel)
However, it seems that nothing has changed, and these same websites are still requesting I download the latest version of Flash.
I am not TOO tech savvy, but it appears to have downloaded correctly. The installation manager states that it was successful, however Flash is not listed under my Applications folder (not sure if it is supposed to?). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still no luck.
I would appreciate ANY advice you might have. I have no idea how to fix this by myself. Please help!
Tia

Hi, Check and make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is Enabled in Safari.
See if that is the problem.
