Flash movie in director heard but not seen... mostly not seen!

Using flash i made a flash movie to use as an intro to my
director project, I imported the flash movie into director and
placed it on the stage. When i play the director file i can hear
the audio from the flash movie but cannot see the flash movie,
untill right near the end i have an image on a motion tween in the
flash movie which i can see.
Can anybody tell me why i cannot see the rest of the flash
movie?

Hi Ajrobson,
I'm guessing you're using Flash 8 and haven't updated
Director for Flash 8
compatibility.
Go to:
http://www.adobe.com/support/director/downloads.html
make sure you've downloaded and installed the 10.1 update.
Then install the 10.1.1
update. This will update your Flash support.

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash
<div id="flashContent">

Many thanks if you can help

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Flash Movie works when testing, but not in application

My flash movie works when I "Test Movie" within Flash 8 or
when I press F12 and open it in the browser, but it only show the
dynamic text, not the pictures when I place it within my page. The
dynamic text changes properly but no images are displayed.

I suspect this is where my issue lies, but I am not sure how
to fix it. I have attached some code that defines the image
location. I am able to successfully retrieve documents with the
following, is this the same type of scenerio,

except in the images folder ?

Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
--inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
or
--independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
thank you!
L

well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
now too but not enough functionality...

Playing movie on tv; playing but not showing up; what output, DVD?

1st time trying to play movie on tv; playing but not showing up; do I need to change output? Only DVD & DVR shown. Thx

You need to provide more information. How are you connecting your iPad to the TV. Are you using an Apple TV 2, a component AV cable, a composite AV cable or the digital AV cable?

Flash 10 works in FF but not Safari, OS X 10.5

About a week ago flash stopped working in Safari and both firefox and safari started bugging me to install a newer version. Muttering, I went to the download page and downloaded the latest, which claims to be for Safari, Opera, and firefox.
Installation completes fine with no errors. Firefox works. But in Safari, I just get the usual 'no flash installed, would you like to download it?'
I've downloaded and installed multiple times, no dice. Plug-ins are enabled on Safari. I do not have settings folders to delete--/Library/Application Supprt/Adobe has no flash player folder, only Acrobat, Updater6, and Help.
This whole thing is a black box and I don't see what else to do. Installation completes and there's no way to verify anything. Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?

Hi Bruce, Adobe Flash Player is Installed separately into IE, since Windows uses the ActiveX Control. Firefox and other non-IE
browsers must use the plugin Installer.

Flash videos choppy in IE8 but not Firefox?

I noticed when watching most Flash content in IE8 it has a lot of brief pauses which makes videos appear choppy, But if I open the same video in Firefox it plays fine, Is there anything I can check that might be causing this issue? Im running the same (latest) version of flash in both browsers.
Here's one example, If I play this in Firefox the framerate is smooth, but in IE8 it has random pauses throughout the video: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-modnation-racers/100079

Audio Tracks can be Heard but not Seen

I am using Logic Studio 9 and in Logic Pro all the sudden I have had a problem with my audio tracks. When I record the tracks I can see the track audio waves being cut but once I hit stop the track visual go to a straight line with no feature. If I back up the play head and press play I can hear the audio of the track, but not see it. I can even bounce the track and use it in iTunes or WaveBurner, but still I cannot see the track visual info. This just recently started. ANY ANSWERS to this mystery would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Flash Player works for Administrator but not other users

I have Flash Player 10.2.153.1 installed and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Internet Explorer 8. If I am logged in as the Administrator I have no problem watching video previews from the Odeon and other similar websites. However, if logged on a Standard user account Odeon film previews cannot be seen - all I get is a blank white viewing box with a small square box in the top left corner with the colours red, green and blue in it (it is too vague to make out what the logo is even when zoomed in). The inability to watch video clips for Standard users seems to be random as some sites work while others do not? Can anyone help solve this problem? Why do I have this problems for the standard user accounts on some websites but not at all for the Administrator account on any website ???

Experienced same problems: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/790415
Would very much appreciate a solution.

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER PLAY ON IE BUT NOT IN FIREFOX

I work for years with Firefox, now I have format my hard drive and install Adobe flash player and Firefox again, but Flash player do not work in Firefox, it work only in Inter Explorer, did try all forums and try all the guy`s say there , when I install flash it go to 50% and then stop, there is not a plug-in for Firefox, please help me to solve this problem, I did download the latest flash player from Adobe, please give me the address where i can download the plugin.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
#'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.

Flash player crashes in firefox but not in waterfox ??

i have tried the downgrade to ver 10 of flash. no problem in firefox but now my other programs that use flash will not run. error messages say that i am not up to the correct version. i uploaded waterfox and have had no problems using the latest flash. can you take the waterfox program segments and move them to firefox?
mark

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Flash movies made in keynote are not working in firefox

I have just finished a 65 page iwebsite at
www.acendedmasterscards.com
it is a card reading with a flash movie - made in
keynote for each card. It looks beautiful in
Safari but in firefox I get a blank white bit
instead of the movie. Help! I would also love
comments on the site! Karen.

I join in the other's congratulations as your site is wonderful. I really enjoy it and I have bookmarked it that I too can post a link to it when I get to an appropriate place in my web building. I will inform you of it.
I really like what you did with flash and I was trying to do something similar using keynote but I was exporting to a podcast instead of flash and it was never working right. I now thanks to you might try to do it in flash.
As far as the other browsers are concerned you might ask the question on the keynote forum as well perhaps one of the experts there will have another idea as to why it does not work. In the mean time keep positive thoughts and perhaps safari will become the new ie since it has been released to windows.
Thanks for sharing

Flash player works on youtube but not yahoo homepage

Flash player works on youtube but when trying to watch video on yahoo homepage says need to download adobe flash player I have already uninstalled several times but still won't work please help

YouTube uses javascript to determine if Flash Player is installed and switches to HTML5 (MP4), which requires no plugin, if Flash Player isn't detected. Yahoo doesn't do that yet. Here's why this is important, especially if you're using IE11.
The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

ASAP!! Flash Player Works on Computer But Not Live. (Could Be Easy)

I need to present this site in a couple of hours and ran into this problem.
I just added a Flash button that works perfectly on every single page except my gallery.php. All the other pages are .html. On my computer I can see the button perfectly, but when I uploaded and viewed the file it tells me to update my player. Why would it not work live and does it have anything to do with it being a .php file? Here's a link that works, The "Primerica" button on the top right is the focal point.
Works:
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/inner_circle.html
Doesn't Work
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/gallery.php
It looks more presentable in IE7 than FF but I need to remedy this ASAP!!!

With an intermittent problem, whether a solution really works
needs to be tested extensively. Someone else reported being able to
play Flash in FF with Flash 9 installed, IF they also had Flash 8
installed. But in that case and in yours, was there sufficient
testing before the solution was reported? Check out this page with
FF (it's a page that tends to generate the problem with a high
frequency, but not always):
http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/52#jill
If repeated testing on that page doesn't crash your ability
to play Flash, then your solution may really work. What version of
Flash does Adobe say you have when you visit this page?:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
The other problem with IE is probably unrelated to this. Did
you reinstall Flash for IE? For IE, you have to run the exe program
with winax.exe in the name.

Flash 9 works in IE7 but not FireFox or Opera

I can dl flash movies just fine in IE7 but they fail to load
in firefox 2 and opera 9. I have most recent versions of
everything, have uninstalled and reinstalled flash. No result. Has
anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
Matt
