Flash movie not displayed correctly in IE 8 on some Windows OS

Has anyone seen this problem?
I'm using CS4 to export a basic flash movie with embed tags pre scripted...
And the issue is that on some OS systems using Vista or Windows 7 and IE 8 as a primary browser, it appears that IE 8 is not displaying the flash banner completely.... its CROPPING it off... This is very strange because the banner works fine in FireFox, IE7,Opera,Chrome but not I.E.8 on some OS systems...
If you google "Flash not displaying correctly in IE 8" you'll get alot of people with the same issues but no real definate fix...
Are there any suggestions as to what i could try?
Do i need different flash embed tags? Or is this a user issue?
Please Advise as soon as possible...
Thanks

I'm sorry, i forgot to explain that I didn't upload the flash published html because it did and produced the exact same results.
The flash published still got cropped off on 1 vista os(I.E 8) running from a laptop and 1 windows 7(I.E. 8) latop os...
Its good to hear that you're able to see it clearly... however in my QA efforts, i've been asked to fix the issue or drop the flash banner all together.
I've tried every which way, i've even converted the embed tags (not uploaded by the way) to a js script and it STILL gets cropped of on 2 ie8 run OS systems...
And now i'm not sure what else to try on my end.
I'm currious if because this is an XML driven flash banner, this may be an issue? But it still doesn't explain why some people can see this in IE 8 as you can and others get a cropped banner like in my screen shot sample.
Again i invite everyone in the forum to take a look at the sample links, as i'd be curious to see who else is seeing this.
By the way "kglad" Thank you so much... please keep the suggestions coming... but everything you've suggested, i've tried.
This is very perplexing. Is this a setting issue? or is there some setting on the user side i'm not aware of? Either way, as usual... the flash developer is blamed so i must find a solution.

Flash images not displaying correctly

Hi there,
First post here, but could really us the help.
I'm looking after this site: http://theacademy.me/index.htm
The previous web developer set up a swfobject image rotator which didn't work before I got here. I wanted to get it working, but now the images display incorrectly in Firefox 8 and Safari 5.1.2. IE and Chrome are fine.
What i did:
1. Commented out this in index page to tidy it up (the file it points to doesn't exist)
<script src="scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
2. image rotator then displayed as it does now in Safari and Firefox
3. Un- commented the code
4. Image rotator still displaying incorrectly
5. restored index page to the last known good version, when it did display correctly
6. Image rotator still displaying incorrectly
SWfobject version is 1.5 I believe.
Also, the slideshow works fine on the local copy, but not live.
Any help would be great- please bear in mind I'm not a Flash guru- this is burning up a lot of time and I could do with some fresh eyes on the problem.
Thanks!

Hi Ned,
Thanks a lot for posting- I've been spending a lot of time checking every angle. I've managed to use the latest swfobject code as suggested to embed the video.
It's an improvement- the video now works on the live site in IE, but still doesn't play in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. It seems as if the browsers are rendering the final picture in the rotator gallery outside of the frame.
Here's what I've added to my test page at http://theacademy.me/index4.1d.htm:
<script src="scripts/swfobject2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   swfobject.registerObject("FlashID2", "9.0.0");
</script>
<div id="banner">
      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="460" height="350" id="FlashID2">
    <param name="movie" value="Flash/ImageRotator/ImageRotator.swf" />
    <param name="play" value="true" />
    <param name="loop" value="true" />
    <param name="menu" value="true" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="scale" value="showall" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#999999" />
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="flashvars" value="movie"="Flash/ImageRotator/ImageRotator.swf" />
    
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Flash/ImageRotator/ImageRotator.swf" width="460" height="350">
     <param name="play" value="true" />
     <param name="loop" value="true" />
     <param name="menu" value="true" />
     <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <param name="scale" value="showall" />
     <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
     <param name="bgcolor" value="#999999" />
     <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="sameDomain" />
     <param name="flashvars" value="movie"="Flash/ImageRotator/ImageRotator.swf" />
    
    
    
</object>
    
   </object>
    </div>
If anyone can shed some light on it, you'd save the day.
Cheers,
Chris

IE7 & Flash Movie not displaying FF works fine

Hi,
I have an issue with IE7 and my Flash video movies. When I
use IE7 (7.0.5730.13) the 6 videos (flash movies) on the page do
not display all 6 BUT in FF they all display and my navigation menu
works fine. The video boxes/placeholders change when I refresh the
page in IE7, but again, not all 6 show like in FF and the menus
won't work properly.
Any help! Please use common/dummy talk so I can fix it. The
page is:
http://www.ferndalehistoricalsociety.org/history_video.html

The movies are MASSIVE. I Think you are just not waiting long
enough. It
took >15 minutes for FF to show all of the video frames.

Flash banner not displaying correctly

I am definitly a newbie to flash. Actually just gave the free download a try on this project. The trial ran out and that might be part of the reason why I can't figure out this problem.
I created a flash banner for a website, I have it embedded and it shows up, but it has cropped part of the scene, so the whole background image isn't showing. I have tried resizing in my html, but it doesn't seem to affect the cropping issue. You can view the site here.
Any help would be appreciated!
Margaret

If you cannot edit the file due to the trial period ending, I don't know what you can do except to purchase the software, but that will be unrelated to the banner not displaying what you expect.
I attempted to look at the page you linked, but the page is not loading, at least not quickly enough for me to feel comfortable waiting for it, so I passed on that.
A Flash file will display in its entirety regardlkess of what dimensions you specify in teh html code for it, it will just distort to fill the area defined for it. So the file is most liikely displaying correctly. What your problem might be is you might have placed an image in the banner without realizing that the stage defines the viewable dimensions you are limited to, so you may need to either adjust the size of the image to fit the stage, or adjust the stage size to suit the image.
It could be due to other reasons, but there isn't enough information about the design to determine as such.

Font in movie not displaying correctly

Take a look at
BPI.
The font in the slide show is supposed to be displaying as
"Verdana" and is instead displaying as Times New Roman it appears.
I could swear that when I first created this file the font
displayed correctly. Can anyone tell me what is going on here or
how to correct it? Thanks! At a minimum I would at least like to
have the font display larger - it's barely readable now :(

Flash Header not displaying correct size...CSS Problem?

I wanted to use Dreamweaver to build a simple one page site. The problem I'm having is that my header 715 x 150 is displaying extremely small. It appears that it is a percentage of the 715 x 150. I can make it larger, but then the area made for it gets bigger as well and consumes the page. Here is the site: http://3due.com/index14.html . If you can't view source, then let me know and I will post the code.
I'm sure it's something simple, but I've tried everything that I know of to try and isolate the issue. I'm not familiar with CSS.
Thanks in advance,
mk

Hey Snake,
You're right the expressinstall is missing. I couldn't find it in DW. I'm not sure how to locate it.
The image that you downloaded is the one on the home page and not the swf located on the index14.html page. Here is the movie:
http://3due.com/3d_header.swf
here is a screen shot of the actual size compared to the browser size, i'm not sure why it's showing this increased size in the browser. This is the file that i uploaded using filezilla:

Masked QuickTime movies not displaying correctly...

Hi there,
I'm still a relative novice with Keynote, but am quickly learning that this is a seriously great application! I haven't encountered any real problems so far, except the one I'm about to describe - and I'd really appreciate any help you could give me with it!
Basically, I've made a masked QuickTime movie in the shape of a circle (as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=QuickTime+Player/7.0/en/c3qt18.html) and then placed this onto one of my slides in Keynote. In the slide design view everything looks fine; the the movie is visible as a circular poster frame (and even plays as it should using the controls in the QuickTime inspector panel). However, when I go to "play" my slide it displays the movie as a rectangle. Obviously, the masking is somehow getting lost somewhere.
Is this a bug with Keynote, or am I just missing something?!
Many thanks in advance.

the way my presentation is organised requires the movie to move in and out of the slide
The final effect you want might still be doable, as long as you don't think of the builds as having to take place on the same slide. If I understand what you mean by the movie moving in and out of the slide, you could have the opening still from the movie as an image, masked to the shape you want, move in on one slide, then undetectably transition to the slide with the cutout and movie underneath, then, when the movie is done, transition to a new slide with the final movie image as a still, again masked to the same shape, and have this move out. It would take three slides instead of one, but you should be able to achieve the end result you want.

Image movie not displaying correctly

Hi All
I am trying to make a slideshow in Imovie that I will then attach in IDVD. When I import the images and play them they appear to zoom in and out with some images cutting off heads etc, how can I just display the image then move to the next without any special effects?

I believe your Ken burns effect is on. Uncheck and apply to all frames.
Hope this fixes it for you.

Symbol font is not displaying correctly on mozilla 23.0.1?

I am displaying a html page inside a frame having some Maths symbols, using SYMBOL font. but these symbols are not display correct on mozilla browser. provide some solution.

Hi sangeeta, the problem with writing code to solve this problem is that you likely need to create a table or a pair of arrays to contain the corresponding characters. As long as you are going to do that, it might be easier to edit the pages. Or add an external script to those pages to "fix" the references.
If you are saying that the HTML pages are out of your control, that's harder...
Is it an option to load the page dynamically onto your server so it can be processed by ASP.Net and then served using a URL from your server?
If not, are your page and the framed page on the same server? In that case, perhaps a JavaScript function that "fixes" the page could be useful.
If not, it's hard to see how you can overcome the "same origin" security constraints and get to the framed page.

Login action buttons no longer work and some pages not displaying correctly after upgrade.

After recent update, some web pages not displaying correctly and Login buttons on some sites do not work. I've updated my plugins and restarted computer, but problems remains. Is this Java, Javascript or something else? Same pages are working fine in IE.

Please update the firefox to the latest version of firefox 26
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Flash not displaying correctly for only one web site

In the last 3 or 4 days I seem to have problems with the flash content of one single web site not displaying correctly from my laptop. I have the same problem from both IE (version7.0.5730.11) and from FF (3.5.8). The site works fine from my desktop system so it's not the site specifically. The site (www.transparent.com/wotd/today/spanish.htm) has an embeded flash segment that does not display correctly and thus I can't click on two of the embedded buttons. It also does not display the background pattern for the flash. I'm running flash 10.0.45.2 based upon right clicking from within the embedded flash which takes me to the Adobe page with my version info. The Adobe page seems to display fine.
As far as I know I'm not having problems with another instance of flash - only this site.
Any thoughts on how to diagnose the problem? I've not added any new programs since this website stopped working but do have some background "tune up" programs that run. I'm assuming some settings are out of wack but don't know where to start looking. Any help folks woulc provide would be appreicated.

Well, that is hard to tell. Like I said the website may have updated their technology. Just because it works with the Desktop, doesn't mean there is not a reason that the laptop might not have a problem. You have 2 different systems and
most likely different configurations.
You may want to check Tools and in the add ons for both, look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx should be installed and enabled.
Also for each check C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Right click the Flash folder and make sure for IE that the files are vs 10.0.45.2 by checking the properties.
If you have the correct Flash files and the correct SWO then, some other cause would be looked at.
It has been my experience to not "assume", but verify:-)

Flash Animation: Font Not Displaying Correctly

Hi all!
I am having a problem with a Flash animation in Captivate that seems like it should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a very simple Flash animation that I developed in CS5. It previews in Flash perfectly, play correctly in Flash Player, but when I insert it into Captivate 4 the fonts do not display correctly. Capital letters are missing as well as other letters.
It's not a matter of AS2 vs. AS3 as I have already tested that. It also is not a frame rate or version issue as I have confirmed they are the same rates and the same version.
Can anyone shed any light? Anyone else had this same problem? Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Daniel

Hi dmendoza2,
Did you embed your fonts into the flash animation? Make sure all characters necessary are embedded.

GIF not displaying correctly

Hello! I'm trying to do animation in flash using GIFs I made (with transparency )as motion tweens, but I have an issue.
The gifs are playing fine, but after a while, after a certain frame, they are not displaying as they should and are instead displaing only certain random locations from these gifs, sometimes even becoming 99% of the area transparent.
When I go check the bitmaps on flash, they are also not displaying correctly and are indeed displaying the same wronge image that shows up on the preview, but when I preview the GIF I previously made in a browser then it shows perfectly ok.
Here is the gif I made (Working fine) : CAR-ANIM.gif - Google Drive
Here is what happens to it in FLash (it already has the background so don't pay atention to that) : Untitled-1.swf - Google Drive
So why is this happening? why is flash not loading or showing up these gifs correctly? Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't really know. If I look at your original gif, it has 47 frames and all of the frames look fine. When I import that gif into a Flash movie, I see the extra artifacts in the last 8 or so frames. If I import any other gif into a Flash movie, it looks and runs as expected.
If I remove the last few bitmaps from the list in the movie's Library, I can remove the problem from the playback. That's a simple solution, but it doesn't explain the source of the problem.
