Flash File (swf) in Powerpoint won't play after 1st time

Windows XP,
Powerpoint 2003
Captivate4
FlashPlayer 10
I've created a flash file using Captivate4 and successfully embedded it in a Powerpoint presentation using the controls toolbox.
It plays, but once I save and close the Powerpoint file then reopen, the swf file will no longer play - it is just a blank white flash player, with the player controls visible. I checked the properties and the link is still there. The control settings in properties are as follows:
Embedmovie: true
Loop: true
Menu: true
Movie: (has the link which worked the first time)
Playing: true
Anyone out there ever have a similar problem and resolved it?

After looking around on varous other forums this seems to be the issue:
There are a bunch of known bugs in flash 9 and 10, one of those being an issue with the Event.COMPLETE not being fired from the main stage when loading from cache when it's embedded WMODE = "transparent"
I'm not sure if that's your issue, but it's worth looking into. I've heard of a few workarounds to the problem. One of them being, not listening for for progress or complete events at all and just using a timed loop like ENTER_FRAME or TIMER to watch the bytesLoaded/bytesTotal."
My WMODE is window, but this sounds like it makes the most sense. I have attached the AS3 file. From viewing the flash it appears to freeze up where it should be going into swfProgressHandle, I think that's whats happening because the load bar doesn't increase in width at all and loadText doesn't even get set to anything, which happens in swfProgressHandle. This what also coincide with the above quote. Now the problem I have is that I didn't write the loading area of this flash, I only wrote part of the stuff inside the loading functions and also everything inside init, the person who helped me with this I haven't been able to make contact with and this site is supposed to go live very very soon. I am desparate for help! At this point I'd be willing to paypal some money over to anyone who could help me with this and get this working appropriately.

Whenever I export my interactive indesign file to swf the videos won't play in the resulting html file, it's just a black screen. I'm using .mp4 videos as well.

Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
Thank you

Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library. How is the flash drive formatted? If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) in Form?

How can i insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) or another type of animated files in Form?

If you are web deployed you can put an animated gif as the image to an iconic button.
Image items cannot display animated gifs.
Anything else you can do through a JavaBean if you need to.

I am a Flash developer. When I change a Flash file (SWF) and try to test it, Firefox displays the previous version even though I have cleared the cache. Clearing the cache obviously doesn't clear everything. Why?

I developed a Flash file (SWF) with a light blue start button, placed it on a web server then went to the URL using Firefox (3.6.8). Later I updated the SWF (changed the button to dark blue), replaced the SWF on the web server, opened Firefox and used Tools/Clear Recent History... to clear the cache. Then when I went to the URL to test the replaced SWF it clearly opened the previous version (light blue button). How can that happen if the previous version no longer exists on the web server? Firefox can only be opening the file from its cache, so why is the file still there if I just cleared the cache?

Your not alone!
I had the identical issue with iPhone config Utility on windows 7 64bit.
A virtual macOS on the same machine didn't have a problem, windows iTunes didnt have a problem. Just a glitch with ICU on windows
I tried everything you did and the only thing that fixed it was to change the appID or app name (I forget which I did).
I don't know where that old app data is stored on the machine, but I deleted all apps, uninstalled/reinstalled ICU and it still would populate and install the old ipa.
I also still periodically get weird errors/glitches deploying to iOS on windows.
It's like some days I need to deploy with ICU, sometimes iTunes, sometimes I need to run the VM mac... SOO frustrating.
It always works one way or another, so the app itself is always fine.
I guess I really need to look into that new direct deployment option...

M3u files quit...won't play complete playlist

This just started happening. m3u files (from emusic.com) won't play all the tracks in a playlsit. I play these in quick time in a tabbed browser window. After a few 30 second samples play, there's silence. The files appear to be playing, but I don't hear anything. It quits in a different place each time, maybe after playing 5 tracks, or 8, or sometimes after just one.
I've been listening to samples for a few years this way with no problem before. I can listen to other audio like Pandora or Live365 for hours with no problems. No one else on eMusic seems to have this issue.
The only recent change to my system I've made was to start flip4Mac to view some video, but it's now uninstalled and I've restarted, etc. several times.
Any clues?
Paul

Ah, a response from someone at last! Not glad that you are having this problem too, though. Several eMusic subscribers have posted the same issue on their forums too, so I finally know it's not just my problem. Since m3u playlists from other sites besides eMusic also stop playing, I know it's not an eMusic issue.
You solution of pasting the url into QT didn't work at all for me: again the music appears to be playing, but I hear nothing.
I've been using 2 workarounds:
1. for Safari I installed M3U2iTunes (you'll have to do a search; you'll find it fast) which downloads the m3u file and then plays it in iTunes with no problems. The m3u file is also automatically put in the trash, so you won't have to be cleaning up your desktop of these files.
2. Switch to Firefox with the Foxy Tunes add-on, and when you option-click the "play" or whatever button to get the m3u, the file plays right away. This Safari option is quicker to start than the M3UiTunes; there's no downloading of the m3u and placing it in iTunes. I'm not thrilled with keeping 2 browsers open, but for now, that looks like it's it. (But there are a lot of cool things you can do with Firefox.)

Actually, the Firefox Foxy Tunes does download and play with iTunes (or a different player of your choice) but it works fast, so it's almost seamless.

HT1351 Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Could not generate the flash file(SWF)

Hi all,
I am working with a Dashboard having a GMap plugin and it was working fine on BO server.
But now the plugin has been changed from GMap to CMaps plugin. I am able to download the same dashboard from BO Server to my desktop.
The snapshot of the warning I get while downloading the dashboard has been attached.
When downloaded from server, in place of displaying map on GMap plugin I get a warning "Invalid request this request is invalid" but when i open its properties the warning goes and the map appears back.
Then I tried to upload the same dashboard on BO Server and I get an error "Could not generate the flash file(SWF)...". The snapshot of the same has been attached.
I am unable to do any modification on this Dashboard.
Regards

Hi,
In your discussion,you have downloaded the dashboard file from the BO server to your desktop.
You can export the dashboard to BO Server in SWF format.But how can you download the physical dashboard file from BO server.Is it possible?
Do the changes in .xlf physical file and export the .xlf file to BO server as File-->Save to platform.
Regards,

TS1389 One of my purchased songs won't play. Every time I try to play the song it says to authorize my computer. I have repeatedly tried logging in to authorize this song and it isn't working. The problem is only happening with one song.

I purchased a bunch of songs last month and one song won't play. Every time I try to play it the window pops up to authorize my computer to play that particular purchase. I tried all of the suggestions that Itunes support send me to. Nothing has worked so far. The song is on my account as a purchased item along with the other items that I purchased the same day. Does anyone have any ideas??

The very same thing has happened to me today...........? Could it be a song pending release? Seems unlikely. Please post any resolutions.

My apply tv won't play after it did a update

My apply tv won't play after it did a update

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

TS1389 Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

I hope this helps!

SWF and HTML won't play stand alone

My .swf and.html files won't play on their own even with
latest Flash player installed (flash player 9). The html will play
if right clicked and internet explorer is selected manually, but
not on its own. Both files will play on their on when on a computer
with Flash installed. I finished the project and published them
using Flash 8, what's going on? I didn't see anything in the
release notes. Anyone have an idea or had this problem?
Thanks!

Looks to me like the issue is indeed your CMS. The flash content is loaded in a lightbox, which is most likely controlled by some JavaScript or ASP. My guess would be that the problem lies with the paths to the files. The swf file that the lightbox loads is referenced in your CMS so it knows where to get it - the thing is that most likely it is not played from the location where it's located but instead played from the location where the lightbox script is loaded. Since the 4 SWF's you have are not located there it won't be able to find it.
Also this lightbox approach isn't very good for this type of content. The demo is extremely small and the alignment of the Flash file looks weird. Instead just use the HTML file generated by Captivate and upload that to a directory in your CMS. Then change the link you have so it opens the HTML file in a new window and everything should work out just fine.

Need Help To Extract Logo from Flash File .swf

I have an attached Flash file that is in
.swf format. There is a N64 logo within this file that I'm
trying to extract as a
.png with a transparent background. I've been able to open
it in a program called
Flash Decompiler Trillix and in the sub-menus it has the
logo listed as a frame.
This is about as far as I have gotten and I'm stuck. Perhaps
someone else knows how to do this a little easier. I just need to
find a way to extra the logo that already has a transparent
background and save it in
.png format.
Any help here would be hot." ;)
Logo Flash
File .swf

Hello,
I ran into a similar problem a few months ago. I have the
Sothink Flash Decompiler and what I did was turn the SWF back into
a FLA. I then opened it in Flash and then exported what I wanted as
a PNG image.
Decompilers can extract the actual image whether it be jpeg,
gif, png, etc. But when it's listed as a frame(as you mentioned
above) then the method above is probably the best way to get it.
Good luck

Flash media (youtube, video, etc) won't play when using Apple TV Airplay Display

I have a new Apple Tv. I have connected it to my tv and am using the tv as a second display from my iMac. The display works just fine, but if I try and play any flash based media, say a Youtube video, on my iMac while Airplay is on, it won't play.
Mind you, it isn't that I am not getting audio, it just won't play the video at all. I can even see the progress bar load fully, but it doesn't begin playing.
The second I turn Airplay off, the video will play.
This also happens with sites such as Soundcloud, and Tumblr audio posts.
Any ideas?

I connect to Airplay Display, I select apple tv, and either mirror display or extended desktop. Doesn't matter which, both have the problem.
Then, on my imac I try to play a video and it does not work. I can even hit play on a video, let it go, and THEN turn on Airplay and it will stop playing as soon as I do.
