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.

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

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. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# 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.

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.

MetaStream 3.0.15.12 Plugin is disabled and Flash content does not play.

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.

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 movie won't play on the web server.

It plays locally just fine. I used Flash and Dreamweaver to
create the HTML code and neither have worked. I have all of the
flash and html elements in the same folder on the server so I'm
assuming it's not a path issue.

Here's the
actual page on the server.
I am about to pull my hair out. I keep finding articles on
line but they are all different problems and are over a year old in
most cases.

hi there,
when u find the answer, plz let me know! :D
i have been pullin my hair out 2 for ages. I think i have a
similar problem to urs.
My website previews perfectly when i test in flash.
functionality is fine. but when i upload to my server, the FLV
playback screws up. i.e comes in when its not suppose to and doesnt
reset. (keeps layering the audio)
i think it "may" have something to do with my web host server
settings. i have tried adding a FLV mime extension. no good! ...and
also think the html might have to have an absolute location for the
file. i.e it can't find the file on the server as it can while
playing locally. good luck! n like i said, let me know if u find a
solution plz! ronnie

Flash player won't play in Safari

I've just installed the latest Flash player on Mac 10.8.2 and when I try to play video on Safari 6.0.2, I'm only getting audio, no images – just a white screen. You can see the problem here: http://londonrififi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/skunk-anansie-2009-intervie w-skin-and.html. I've tried uninstalling, re-installing to no effect. No problems with video on Chrome or Firefox, and when I uninstall Flash, Safari can play video. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Then just download from Adobe's site, OS X does not come pre-installed with Flash so if you're going to use Flash content you have to visit their website, download and follow the on-screen instructions. On a new machine chances are the caches are fine though. You didn't state that it was new so I had no idea. If for some reason you can't find the site it's

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 ?

Flash content does not play in Firefox

PROBLEM:
Videos and Flash content hang in Firefox. The screen is grey and the twirling circle is frozen. This is a recent problem; this behavior is new and it is unclear what has changed in my system.
1. The problem does not occur with I.E.
2. Win8 , Firefox, and Flash plug-in are current.
3. Running Firefox in safe mode does not help.
4. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox , Flash, and RealPlayer
5. Java is working.
''temporary'' SOLUTION:
Deleted RealPlayer
''edited by a moderator''

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.

Flash content no longer playing

Over the course of the past weekend, two things occured;
either of which could be the cause of my problem. First, I allowed
a relative with very little computer knowledge to use my PC
unattended, and second, I installed a new graphics card. I didn't
notice my new inability to play Flash content until today, so I'm
not sure which action was the culprit. My relative says he doesn't
think he changed anything, but he's not 100% sure.
When I attempt to access any page with Flash content, it
gives me the standard error that occurs if you don't have Flash
installed. So I go through the process of installing, I get the
confirmation of a successful install, it restarts my explorer...
and still fails to work. The card I just put in is a Radeon X1550
w/ 512 MB, are there any known quirks related to Flash content and
this card, or is it more likely that my relative just hit a setting
somewhere?

You should run the official Active X uninstaller (download it
from adobe.com) and then reboot your computer, and then reinstall
the latest player. That should (hopefully) do the trick.

Flash player won't play videos. (Mac OS 10.6.8, Firefox)

I recently upgraded to OS10.6.8, after which I installed newer version of Firefox and adobe flash player. For a while the flash was sort of working, although crashing quite often, and now it won't play any videos at all, I just get a blank box where the video player is supposed to be.
How 2 fix plz.

i am able to reproduce the issue and it is an injection from 11.1. a public bug has been created. please go and vote for the issue. thanks.

Some Flash content will not play.

Hi all btw, here`s my problem, I play at many online casinos and there is a problem with a certain software (Vegas), here`s what happens, okay i`m playing a slot with no problems and then I hit a bonus round and the screen inside the casino window just goes black, here`s a screenshot.. http://img148.imageshack.us/i/fproblem.jpg/
My OS is XP home, This problem may have arisen from a virus I had a few months ago, as I used to have np`s whatsoever at these casinos, normal flash content runs perfectly in any browser I use Opera/FF/IE, I have tried so many remedies from re-installing my flash players and addons/plugins, different security programmes, and registry stuff, but nothing works, really pulling my hair out now (and I don`t have much lol), so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

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"
