Flash movie not playing in Catalyst

I'm a novice to FC, but have some website design experience.
With that said, I'm having a hard time figuring my problem out. I created a interactive tour for the non-profit organization that I work for, everything works perfectly when I preview it in catalyst. However, when I publish it to dreamweaver and import it two things happen when I preview it in a browser. 1. the sound that I have during a mouse over doesn't work. 2. All of my five panels have short 2-3 min. flash movies that will not play.
If I play the swf in dreamweaver everything works, it's just when I preview it in a browser that it fails. I have tried both the "insert swf" option and the html code. In the html code the sound happens during a mouse over but the videos still won't play. I have tried to look through the flash code but can't find the link to my media. Please, Please help.
One more note: I have tried to save the movie in both FLV and FL4 format with no luck either way.

Hi Jim,
Due to Flash Player security restrictions, you usually can't use the same SWF file both for previewing locally and for uploading to a website. Basically, the rule of thumb is:
If you're looking at a file:// URL, you need to use the run-local folder's contents
If you're looking at an http:// URL, you need to use the deploy-to-web folder's contents
So, when working locally in Dreamweaver you'll want to use run-local, but then substitute deploy-to-web when you're ready to upload your site to a webserver. If you want to make sure your substitution worked, you can always upload to a temp "staging" folder on your server and then test it in your browser before going fully live with the content.

Flash movie not play on FireFox

I built couple flash movies ( using flash 8) on the website : http://www.hoaxinh.com

Should I have to convert these movie using higher verson of flash? could you please help?

double check its publish settings so you do NOT have "paused at start" checked.

AW/Flash Movie not playing with Skin

We inserted flash movie files (developed in Captivate-saved
as flash 6 with a skin) using the insert flash movie menu option in
AW7.02. We inserted the skin and it also pulls the captivate movie.
We published using 1 button publishing. Our self-executables work
fine. However on the web the skin appears but the movie does not
play. If we imsert the movie alone, it plays but doesn't have the
play/pause/stop/slide bar controls that the skin provides. Any
suggestions?

I had a similar problem a few months ago. I asked one of the
Captivate
engineers. Here's his response.
===================
Open the skin Editor (Project -> Skin...) From the
'Borders' Tab, Deselect
'Show Borders'.
Doing the above two steps will result in only one output file
which will
include the playbar. However, it will overlap some part of
the content.
To use old (Captivate 1 style) playback controls, do the
following:
Open the Skin Editor and from the 'Skin' Drop down combo box,
select 'BMP
Playbars'.
If you wish that your playback control should not overlap the
content and
still output is one file, then do the following.
Turn off the borders (as explained above).
From Project menu, open 'Resize Project'
In the 'Resize project' dialog, Increase only the height by
20 pixels.
In the group below (left hand side, 'if new size is lager'),
select 'Keep
project the same size and fill bg with color' and selct a
color.
Select the position of project as top center.
Do not rescale any objects
In the above way, your output will only be one file and still
will include
the playback controls and the playback controls will not
overlap the
content.

Flash movie not playing

After installing the flash player my movie will not play. In
control panel it shows the program installed. I have gone through
all the technotes and besides messing around in the registry
nothing has worked. Why can't I see the movie after flash has
installed? This happened overnight. I have tried system restore and
have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks.

The required flv file below is not available on your web
server.
http://www.assumption.edu/news/newshp/current_news/video/042507_dennis_house/Dennis
House_Med.flv
It may cause by any of the reason below:
- You didn't upload the flv file
- You have uploaded the flv file to the wrong directory
- Your flv file name is not "Dennis House_Med.flv"
- Your web server doesn't support FLV MIME type.
I suspect your web server doesn't support swf MIME type as
well,
because when I access swf below, it shows unexpected text.

Entire flash movie not playing fully in all browsers

Hey there,
I launched a flash site this morning and then discovered
that the movie isn't playing in it's entirety in all browsers. It
plays perfectly in Firefox but stops half way in IE and Safari.
I checked to see if I had any stops in the code but couldn't
find anyway. When I do a test movie it looks fine.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

I just tried www.espavoproductions.com on all 3 browsers and
it works fine.
Is that the url you're talking about?

In your opinion, should I uninstall Firefox if I am installing Waterfox?
Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox. I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox. (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

Why does Safari (or any other browser with up to date Flash player) not play Facebook videos?

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
If you haven't done so, using Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder.

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?
I found a page with same problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549675&tstart=30

Quicktime.mov not playing back from website

iWeb 3.0.4
I downloaded three .MOV to my site. One is playing back ok, the other two are only displaying the QuickTime symbol. I did empty the browser cache, but to no avail. Did check with server and the .MOV files are in the html folder, but not playing back. I also re-uploaded the questionable .MOV files, but it still does not let me open the files on my site. site name : bodoholst.com
thanks in advance

All three movies play OK for me.
The pages are slow to load as this method of adding them to the pages requires the movie file to download with the web page.
If you are happy to depend on viewers having the QuickTime plugin, this is a better way...

So that everyone can see your movies you really need to have flash fallback since there's still a lot of people around who don't have the QT plugin installed...

Flash will not play in Mozilla/Firefox

I just can't seem to figure out why my flash movie will not
play in Mozilla/Firefox,
Here is a link to the page
http://www.z1multimedia.com/Demo/CassaItalia/site_flash/index_1A.html
It plays fine on Safari

Perhaps if you actually looked at your html you would see
that you have
stuffed up your SWF file names .. you've got different urls
for the swf ie
tries to play vs what firefox/mozilla tries to play. Its just
very basic
common-sense checks .. like spell checking a document.

SWF created in CS4 Flash does not play from web server

I published a Flash movie in CS4, which includes the following ActionScript 3.0 code to allow people to click the movie to open a new web page; but it will not play from the web server...however, it plays just fine from my local hard drive in Firefox and IE 7.
It is an html file with an embedded .swf and I made sure to copy over the swfObject.js, AC_ActvieX.js, AC_RunActiveContent.js, expressInstall.swf, and swfobject_modified.js files to the correct directories. The address is: http://www.giseldemarco.com/introduction.html and as you will see, there are no errors...just a blank page. I even tried changing the script from:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
to this script: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>, but using this script generates a lot of CSS and other errors.
Nothing works. The ActionScript code I used is:
//Link to website
Site_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,visitSite);
function visitSite(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://giseldemarco.com/Home/Index.html");
    navigateToURL(req,"_parent");
I am at a loss here...any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Nothing new... Flash developers fall for this all the time...

If you try any in IE8, they stop half way and do not give a smooth stream. I am wondering if I have to stream differently and not via the progressive download stream as I have??!

Flash Movie to Play Sitewide w/o Re-Starting...

Hi,
Is it possible to have a Flash movie play sitewide without
re-starting on each page and without using frames?
How?
Thanks!

You could hack something with unique URL's to get the SWF to
stay on the correct section. I've seen some interesting ideas in
this train of thought for making the SWF work with the back button
of the browser. Essentially, you would cause each "page" or
"section" of your SWF to change the url to something like "
http://www.myWebsite.com?sect=portfolio"
changing the ?sect= at the end each time. Then, have the HTML
auto-read that URL variable and pass it into the SWF. In the SWF,
check to see if the variable exists, if not, play from the start,
if it does, go straight to that section. This would mimick the type
of behavior you are looking for, and you would have the added
benefit of a browser page-like structure that works with the
back/forward buttons.
The downside is you would need a page-refresh in-between SWF
sections, though the SWF would be cached, so the user wouldn't need
to re-download it. Of course, you could use some AJAX structure to
get rid of the white flicker of the screen...... but that is
another discussion entirely.
Hope I gave you a good starting point for some play. It may
be more of a hassle than its worth to do this, but definitely
possible.

Export flash movie to play on domestic DVD

I need to create a Flash movie with a spinning logo on a
bitmap background that can be played for at least an hour on a DVD
player through a regular widescreen flat panel TV . I can easily
make the flash movie and make it loop, but I have no idea how to
make it run on a DVD player for the TV nor what resolution will be
required.
Can any one please help me?

Flash movie not working in FF V2.0.0.16

Hello all,
I am building a site that uses various flash elements and
also displays a flash movie. My issue is in IE the page and
everything loads fine. However in FF (I have v2.0.0.16) the flash
logo and movie thumbnails display but not one of the auto play
movie on the page. Instead the movie section is just blank. Yet
when I right click on where it would be it gives me the flash menu
settings (zoom in, quality, etc).
Also all other flash elements on the page load/display fine
and also the site works fine in IE??
Here is the flash movie code which is what does not load.

Come on so no one can provide an answer or suggestion
:-(
