Flash file will not show itself in cs4

I'm building a website for animations in DW cs4. When I insert a flash movie file [flv] and try to view it in the program or in my broswers I get this message: "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type". I should add that the file looks stunning in Adobe Media player. Could sure use some help here.

First Adobe Media Player has been discontinued and will no longer be updated ( http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/ ). So I wouldn't gauge that for accuracy.
Second, can we see a link to the page? Typically in this case you are missing the Scripts folder or other associated files that DW creates to play the FLV file. But without seeing the file we can't say with 100% certainty.

Flash Files Will Not Display in Dreamweaver

Flash files will not display in Dreamweaver or in any
browser. If I insert a Flash button, text or other file, when I hit
the "play" button the flash place holder disapears, and the Flash
file never displays. In the Property Inspector, the file is always
"undefined" even when I save the file to my root folder with a
name. When I hit the "Edit" button, I get the message that the file
could not be found on my local disk. It's like Dreamweaver fails to
create or place a Flash file. Help please!

You will have to rename the hard drive for dreamweaver to
work properly.
The ' is causing dw to not find the path.
other symptoms would be dw nagging that the "homepage" is not
within the
local site folder so it can't build a sitemap.

HT1414 my ipad mini will not charge from wall socket and it will not show itself on i tunes via my pc... i have also substituted my power charger from my i-phone to no avail.

my daughter's i-pad mini will not charge up from the wall socket and it will not show itself on i-tunes via my pc... i substituted the power charger from my i-phone to no avail with the wall socket... seems like i read that the earlier i-pads have some problems with the lightning socket but can not remember exactly...there is no apple retail shop in the small city where i live but would travel to one if the fix is relatively quick or easy...otherwise, what can i do for diagnosis and repair?

Most likely your cable is bad and you need to get a replacement.

My image files will NOT show up when I import them

I CANNOT see my image files when I import them. This is the case regardless of whether I import them directly from my image files, or from my Flash library. They WILL NOT show up in the stage area, although the panel on the right shows the file! What can I do to correct this? I am using Flash CS4 which I need for my Digital Design classes through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh! I will FAIL this course if I can't get this program to work properly!!

Here are a few things to check:
Do you have anything else on Stage that might be covering them up? Is your target layer locked? Is the layer visibility turned off?
Are you doing this in an existing document, or a brand new document?

Saved file will not show up when trying to attach file in mail

Sometimes... and only sometimes.. when I make a new file and then go back to my email or browser to attach the file it will not show in the place I saved it. If I click to list view SOMETIMES. I check the folder I saved it in and it's there.... .. go back to attach it.. it's not. Sometimes it will pop up if I toggle to column view then back to list view, but not always. Sometimes it's there the first time. Frustrating!!!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This sounds like a permissions problem. Have you recently Repaired Disk Permissions? Is the file saved on the same HD or partition where your Home folder resides?

PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Just a few examples, since you ask:

Flash file will not publish SWF

I am a novice when it comes to flash so please bare with me on this one.
I have recently taken over a project started by another person who has been let go due to lack of performance and other issues.
He has created a FLA file and an .exe file. But I am have been asked to place the movie on to the internet.
The FLA file that I have will not let me publish an SWF file to be uploaded to the internet, in fact it will not let me publish anything.
I have changed the publish setting but when I go to publish it the SWF file is not created.
I just want this file in SWF format and for it to autoplay when the website is loaded.
Let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for your Help in advanced
Travis
Extra Information:
I have used a exe to swf converter to convert the EXE file that was already made into a SWF file for the internet.
This does make an swf file but the file is not editable and will not autoplay once it is uploaded.

Any suggestions here? I am having the same problem (minus the part about .exe's):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/465031?tstart=0
Double checked my publish settings, the path is correct. I have tried exporting a movie to my Desktop, does not work. Tried copying content to a new file, same problem. When I publish, the dialog shows up and a SWF even shows up for a second in the Finder, but then disappears.
I really need to work with this file. I have submitted a support ticket to Adobe, and am awaiting their reply (not holding my breath). Please HELP!

Text in Flash Animation will not show

I am hoping that I could "pick" the group's brain for a quick
moment. I am a novice developer when it comes to using Flash and I
am in the process of developing a series of Flash Banners. My
problem...the text will not display the banner when I save it as a
GIF file. It works fine in the "html" and ".swf" file format. I
always make to check "animated" option when I am publishing the
banner as a GIF file. I did update my flash player as well. Any
help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I finally discovered the answer.
ALL the files had to be in the same folder, none of them could even be in a sub-folder.
Once I made sure I copied ALL the files into the same folder, no more problem.
Thanks for the offer to help.

Flash file will not open on a mac

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I had to complete and hand in a college project on Monday. However, when I opened my Flash file on a mac, the library area containing my movieclips was greyed out and I was unable to make any selections anywhere. Within 10 seconds Flash crashed and closed down. I tried to open the file from my memory stick, a CD-ROM and from the desktop on numerous computers with no luck. What is unusual is that I am able to open and make edits to the same file on my PC. I tried opening other Flash files from my memory stick and they were fine so it seems to be an issue with the file itself. I've had no problem transferring my files between mac and PC for the duration of this project (the last two months) and cannot understand what has happened. Can anyone tell me what might be causing this problem or how I can fix it? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

your site is doing a strict check for a certain version of
the flash plug-in, 9.0.45. It's probably not necessary to go that
far, just checking for version 9.0 should be fine. The Mac is only
up to 9.0.47 and many people are going to have a .28 version, which
gets refused by your script.

Flash file insert not showing up in Safari

Hi. I've got a simple artist's website that was created in
Dreamweaver 8 with Flash MX file inserts for the images. I
downloaded the new Safari for Windows browser yesterday to test it,
and I'm getting the little blue box in place of the Flash files
there. Suggestions? Here's the site:
www.pearsondesign.com

Hello,
Do you know if your computer is Intel or Power PC based? If it's Power PC (sometime referred to as PPC) the last version of Flash Player for this architecture can be found here: Flash Player 10.1.102.64
Please download and extract the zip. Navigate to and mount "/Flash Player 10.1.102.64/10_1r102_64/flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg" You should then be able to install using the normal procedure.
Thanks,
Chris

My edits to a flash template will not show up on the web!

Hello all.... I am editing a flash template that I have
downloaded. I have read up on how this is done and here is my
process. I open the .fla file in Macromedia Flash 8, I make some
small changes to some of the text, and then at this point I have
tried a few things... I have clicked the "Done" button, at which
point it exports the file to .swf...... I have clicked file >
publish settings > publish...... and I have clicked file >
export > export movie...... no matter what I do when I go back
into dreamweaver and access the updated files, I can see my
changes. THEY ARE THERE. however when I upload them to my website
and access the page on the web.... the original template shows up.
It is as if nothing was ever changed.... HELP PLEASE I'm going
insane!

Are you positive that you've also uploaded the updated HTML
that reflects the new SWF? Have you cleared your cache in your
browser?

My new flash drive will not show up on my macbook pro?

It's really strange because I know my usb ports are working, the flash drive works perfectly fine on the mac desktops at my school and if I open up system profile it shows that it's plugged in! But it won't show up anywhere for me to actually access it! Not on my desktop, not in my finder, I've tried searching for it and checked to make sure I have my finder settings checked to show external drives on the desktop and in the sidebar in finder windows. I checked on one of the desktops and it is formated as...FAT 32 bit I think? something like that. I've also restarted a couple times already and plugged and unplugged it a few times to try and get it to work. The last time I plugged in someone else' flash it showed up too so I don't know why this one won't show up, I've looked everywhere to figure out why it might not be working, but I need it to work so I can get my school work off my school computer before the end of the semester!
If anyone can give me some suggestions or help I would really appreciate it!
P.S. This is what my system profiler shows for it:
USB FLASH DRIVE:
Product ID: 0xb107
Vendor ID: 0x03f0 (Hewlett Packard)
Version: 40.96
Serial Number: AA1B132C00000354

Press the Repair Disk button. If it doesn't find any issues or repairs those it finds, press Mount.
If it finds issues that it can't fix, run a more powerful utility such as DiskWarrior or a data recovery product on it.
