Flash Movie Buttons Do Not Work (DW & FL CS3)

Hello,
I'm fairly confident in DW but still getting to grips with
Flash, however...
I created a flash movie from a small .wmv sample clip went
through the DW import and convert steps, chose the standard buttons
and published it!
The video worked fine in the flash preview (and in the HTML
preview) and the video controls works just fine, I even have all
the files saved into a single folder.
I then embed then embedded the .swf file into my page on DW
and still got the grey box which shows there is a flash file I then
previewed it in a browser and the controls do not show, I even
uploaded it to my server to try it live on the net and still the
same problem.
I'm much more of a designer than a coder and I looked over
the coding and it 'appeared' to be fine.
What simple idiotic thing am I not doing...?
I'm using Dreamweaver & Flash CS3
Many thanks, Jack :)

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

  • Flash Component Button click not working

    I've gone back to an old project to change some logos around,
    and my flash component buttons no longer work. They appear on
    stage, but the click event is not happening. I authored on XP, now
    on Vista. Director 10.1. Any idea what is happening?

    If you are adding those buttons now, check for each button
    the Flash
    component tab in the property inspector and make sure the
    eventPassMode
    (lowest option) is set to #passAllways.

  • "Replay Movie" Button is Not Working

    Hi, Using Flash 5.0.
    Here are instructions I have followed instructions to create a replay button at the end of my flash movie. The button was working fine but now for some strange reason the button is not replaying the movie when it is being clicked. I am totally stumped as to why this is not working.
    Here’s what I did.
    1. I created a layer named "Replay Button”. Then on frame 900 of this layer I placed the “replay.png" button and I named the button instance "replay".
    2. I then created a layer above this layer and named it “actions”. On frame 900 of this actions layer I added this code:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    stop();
    replay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replay_clickHandler);
    function replay_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
         gotoAndPlay(1);
    When I publish the movie and click the replay button nothing happens but I am getting this error below:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
              at Holiday_Card_English_fla::MainTimeline/frame900()
    This is frustrating especially since I had it working. I would really appreciate it if someone could please set me straight on this. Thanks. I am using Flash 5 (Actionscript 3.0)

    Thanks Ned,
    Yes, the button does exist in frames prior to frame 900. I selected keyframe 870 and then named the instance “replay”. I then selected keyframe 900 and named the instance “replay”. I tried to tween the button between frames 870-900 but it went crazy and created a new layer. Weird!
    Not sure what you mean by:
    Put:  trace(replay);  in frame 900 to see if that is what is coming up missing.  It most likely is since it's the only object in the code being targeted.
    Can you explain what you mean by “trace(replay) and where I should put it exactly?

  • Flash mouse buttons sometimes not working

    Sometimes in Flash applications, it doesn't listen to left mouse button clicks on button controls anymore. Does anyone know a solution for this that actually works?
    Many people report this problem with Youtube movies, but personally I'm a Newgrounds.com Flash game gamer, so it's even more annoying to me.
    Thanks.

    See the Wiki page which has a section on this problem.
    (There is also this is from the Ubuntu bugtracker. but I think most of the workarounds would apply to Arch as well.)
    If I'm not mistaken, however, this only affects those running 32-bit flash on a 64-bit system with a wrapper. Consider installing the new beta native 64-bit flashplayer  Adobe recently released (flashplugin-prerelease in AUR). Discussion here.

    Are you using FireFox 3 to access the WLP Admin Console? If so, unfortunately, this is sounds like a known issue with FireFox 3. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/relnotes/relnotes.html#wp1210315 is the note for the portal admin console. Also, the release note is for WLP 10.3, but it will actually affect other releases as well.
    Try another browser, such as FireFox2 or IE6 or 7. If you want, you could initiate a support case, and ask to get a patch for bug 8159454.

  • Adobe Flash Player installer is not working.

    Adobe installer is giving me a dark window with nothing else. Activity Monitor Shows the installer, But nothing is going on. According to terminal, the installer starts, and log out one second later. I checked the Adobe community's help site, and Apple's one also. It seems everyone has the same problem, And is not only Mac OS, but window's also.
    For me it started with 10.10, never before, have seen the message that ''You have to update the Flash Player''. Now most of the Youtube, News sites, and movie sites are not working.
    I followed all the recommendations in support communities, with well wished suggestions. But no solution has worked. Even used the Adobe suggestion to do a clean install.
    And yes! I tried using HTML5, and others, but the sites that I like, won't work. I know is a blessing to forget about Flash, but...
    Anybody knows what's going on? Any idea please?
    Mac Pro, OS 10.10.1, Safari version 8.

    You've DL'd the installer from that page and when the dmg opens and you double-click the Install Adobe Flash Player.app it doesn't show this?
    If it does, you have to click the box indicating you've read the terms before the Install button activates.

  • HT201401 My volume control buttons are not working on my Iphone 4s....

    but this only occurs when I don't have headphones in or I am not on a call.  If I have headphones in or if I am on a call using either the earpiece or speakerphone I have full volume control.  If I am using my phone to listen to music or anything else where there is audio the volume buttons do not work.  When I press the button the buttons the ringer icon appears on the screen but there are no bars under the icon and it doesn't move the volume.  I have tried rebooting the phone as well as blowing out the headphone port and the charging port.  My phone is updated to the latest release.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi
    Are you talking about the function buttons F1-F9?
    These buttons work in connection with FN button; i.e Fn + F5
    The Value Added Package as well as the Toshiba Flash Card Support Utility needs to be installed in order to use the flash cards (the menu on the screen showing the function buttons)
    These software parts can be downloaded here:
    http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/a660/psaw3a-07t00r/download?os=25
    Note: before you would start with new installation try to restart the flash cards: all programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Cards

    Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
    1. SMC reset
    >>Instructions to reset SMC
    Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
    Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc.  If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
    Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
    Other related hardware problems (optional):
    Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.

  • Windows 8.1 - Upgrade from 8, Start Button Does Not Work

    I cannot find a fix for my 8.1 start button.
    It works when I move the task bar to the top, right or left but not at the bottom. I ran all windows updates and there are no missing/unknown drivers in device manager. No errors in the event log. I've restarted multiple times and created a new local profile.
    I've also tried: 
    Copy WinX folder under C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows into C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows.
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    Any ideas? I would prefer not to do a clean install. Thanks in advance.

    Could you please describe a little more detailed about “Start Button does not work”? What is the symptom?
    Yes, when the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen, I cannot left click on the start button. The machine is also a touch-screen, which does work when I touch the start button. If I move the task bar to the left, right or top; the start button does work.
    And what is the kind of the account, Domain? Local? Or both?
    This is local machine.
    It still doesn’t work in a new account?
    Same issue happens with a new account.
    What happens if you use win + "X"?
    Win + "X" works fine; displays options.
    Regarding to the “doesn’t work, both for screen touch and mouse?
    Left-click via the mouse does not work. Touch works fine.
    Can you try to copy the WinX folder from a working PC to your PC for a test?
    I do not have another Windows 8.1 machine available to me.

  • IPhone top sleep/wake button is not working & Apple Logo screen at startup

    I have the original iphone. I have two problems, both just happened tonight at the same time. For seemingly no reason just my iphone external top sleep/wake button is not working. I tried powering the phone off and back on. I tried resetting my iphone, and restoring it. I made sure my Iphone software is up to date. None of these remedies have fixed the button. The button doesn't look broken, it pushes in and out, it just doesn't work anymore.
    Second problem is, after I power my iphone off and then back on, the Apple logo screen will continue to flash on and off indefinitely. The only way to get my home screen to appear is to connect my iphone to my computer. Then it wants to sync. After syncing it then asks if I want to "power off" or "cancel". Huh, why does is it doing that? To turn my iphone off I am pressing my Home button down until it shuts off, since I can't power off with the top black button. Is that the reason my phone is having the second problem, because I am powering off with the Home button? Could it be my second problem is not a problem?
    My iphone 1 year warranty is over. I can't call Apple Care, there is no apple store near me. I need a solution I can do at home myself. Please help. Even if you think the answer is obvious please suggest it to me. Before tonight nothing was wrong with my iPhone. It all started after I let my 6 and 7 year old nephews play with Google Maps on my phone for like 10 minutes - supervised. I consider myself to be a pretty Apple tech savvy guy, yet I can't figure out if they broke my iphone somehow, nor can I fix these two problems. Please help!

    Jason,
    I'm afraid I have good and bad news. Apple sent me a new original iphone. So that takes care of me but does not take care of the issue for so many people like you. I do not know if you can purchase the Apple Care plan at this time. Look into that. It really is worth it. Apple products require Apple technicians in the rare case the breakdown. Apple did not offer me an explanation of how they'll fix my phone or even saying why they sent me a new one. I synced it with Itunes and all my personalizations and apps are loaded back on it. It's like my old phone only shinyer and probably going to last me longer than the old one.
    I found out Apple Care covers the Iphone for 2 years past it's purchase date. So I would think that you could buy Apple Care even if you had it for like a year. Then it would at least cover you until the 2 year mark, which after that we're on our own(?). Please let me/us know if you were able to buy Apple Care protection and if they fixed your problem. I am impressed they got me a new phone so fast. I still love Apple.

  • Camera flash of iphone 4s not working

    Camera flash of iphone is not working can not take a picture with flash??
    Please suggest a solution.

    If you bring up the shortcut bar from the button of the screen by swiping upwards, can you switch the torch function on and off?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    You will not lose data by resetting.
    Did you make sure that the flash is activated in the camera app? Did you try to switch it off, take a photo and switch it back on again?
    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
