Flash Movie Stops Playing on Laptop

I have a very basic flash movie in an html page. It does fine
except on my client's wireless laptop where it stops about 1/3 of
the way through. It does fine on his pc at the same time it stops
on his laptop. Any suggestions as to what the problem is.

Are both machines running the same version of Flash Player?
Using the same browser / version?
Is the laptop wireless?
Is the Flash Movie making any calls to a remote server?

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

Flash movies stop after a random amount of time,

The problem that I am having is that flash movie files (Every website) play for a moment or two and then stop with the little “loading” symbol turning endlessly in the center of the screen. Flash movies used to work with no problem but over the span of the last few months it went from not working well to not working at all. In a perhaps related problem sometimes downloads will stop after a certain length of time and also seem to “hang” at a random spot. If I pause the reload and then restart it the program or whatever will usually finish downloading. This doesn’t happen often but does happen. The flash movie thing, though, happens every time – no matter what browser I have tried. (Firefox, IE, IE with no add-ons, and Chrome anyway.)
I have tried solutions that I have found all across the internet, including the Adobe and Microsoft forums, to no avail. I have unloaded flash with the Adobe uninstaller and reloaded flash. I have tried various flash releases – with and without a firewall on. I have made sure that I am using the 32 bit version of IE and even tried running everything in “administrator mode.” I’ve upgraded every driver that I can upgrade. I’ve used a registry checker as a last resort. I even used the Dell partition to return my computer back to the condition that it was in when I bought it and that didn’t change anything either.
Everything I have tried has made zero difference. In the hopes that someone will have another idea for me to try I am putting all the stats for my computer that I can think of below.

Thank you for answering eidnolb -
Answering your questions...
Have you had a Virus and if so what Anti-Virus program removed it?
No virus that I am aware of
Since you have a Dell, McAfee came pre-installed? Did you remove it prior to Installing MSE? If so, did you use the McAfee Removal Tool or just remove it from Control Panel/Programs & Features?
My computer did come with McAfee which isn't on my computer now. I used a program called "Decrapifier" that removes unwanted preloaded software that comes with PCs.
Is McAfee still Installed?
No
Do you have any Anti-Virus/Spyware programs other than MSE?
No - I have just used MSE until now. I thought about using AVAST but was't sure what running 2 virus/spyware programs would be like.
Since MSE doesn't have a Firewall, do you use any Firewall other than Windows? If so, which?
I use Windows Firewall. I have tried both adding Youtube as an allowed program and switching the firewall off enirely with no luck.
Do you use a Router? Is it Wireless?
I do have a Lynksys router that is a little older but I've also tried hooking the modem directly to the computer.
Is Qwest wireless?
I use the wired ports and not the wireless for my connection.
Other than IE8, what browsers and versions are Installed now?
I only have IE8 now. I never reinstalled the other browsers after using the Dell partition. I prefer Firefox so having to use IE is frustrating.
I've also used "RegestryBooster" to make sure that my regestry looked okay.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I think you are right about me doing too much - LOL

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 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

what's not playing at your link?
double check its publish settings so you do NOT have "paused at start" checked.

HT204370 Rented movie stopped playing

I was watching a rented movie thru Apple TV and it stopped playing with a message that Apple TV was not connected to the internet. I check everything and it is fine. How can I restart a partially watched rented movie? All I can find is the option to rent it again.

Yes you'll get charged.
If you're in US you have 30 days to START watching but once you do you have 24 hours to watch - too short IMO.
In UK you have 48 hours to watch after choosing play.
Poor experience regardless - raise a query ticket via itunes store support or through your itunes account pages.

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?

welcome DBeaty to the  boards...
be sure, your iM project is located in the 'Movies' folder of your Mac.
Launch iDVD
choose a Theme
click on Media/Movies
drop project into window...
choose 'create image' under file...
be sure, 10 - 15 GB of free disk space still avail on your internal harddrive...
wait...
wait longer...
double click on created img file..
launch Toast (or Disk Utility)
'copy' the mounted (virtual) DVD onto a dvd-r ...
... should work, should play on PCs (Windows needs an additional DVDplayer app! Windows-out-of-the-box does NOT play standard videoDVDs.. )

Cant Make Flash Video Stop Playing

I am using an HTMLLoader to display a web page in a
NativeWindow. The web page I am displaying has an embedded flash
video that plays in it. That all works fine. The problem I have is
that when they close the window, the flash video keeps playing. The
only way to stop it is to close the entire app.
Is there a way to somehow make the HTMLLoader stop playing
the content?

I figured it out. I found a reply that fixed this problem for
someone with a SWFLoader and it works for the HTMLLoader.
Here is the answer if you need it, where html is the name of
the HTMLLoader.
html.load(null);
html.reload();

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.

Downloaded movie stops playing in iTunes after 4 seconds

Purchased and downloaded an HD movie from iTunes.
After taking about an hour to download the movie, pressing play starts the film then it stops after 4 seconds. Subsequent pressing of play does nothing. ahve to close itunes and restart to get it to play another 5 seconds, then it stops again.
Tried to play this fullscreen, windowed, same thing. Doesn't work.
Immediately reminded why I don't use iTunes for anything. You'd think with 16 mandated updates per day they would have gotten this program working in the last 10 years.
Mac Pro 8 Core
OSX 10.8.5
Itunes 11.2.2 64 bit
Would be nice if ONE time I did something with an apple product it didn't require tech support.

Trashed the video file and redownloaded.
Exact same thing. Doesn't play for more than a couple seconds.
Infuriating, and zero responses yet. Is there a point to posting on here when 99% of the questions I see are unsolved or completely ignored?

Movies stop playing in iTunes

My movies have recently stopped playing in iTunes. After playing a few minutes they start stuttering and stop playing. I've repaired permissions, zapped the pram, didn't help. Anyone else seen this?

I have a similar problem, I had to uninstall and then re-install itunes because it kept messing up on me and when I reinstalled it, my digital movies stopped working. All my songs work fine and my movies are still stored in the library, but they won't open. I just get a black screen with no sound and it doesn't play.
Does anyone have an answer to this? I'm new to this site and tried to create a new thread asking about this but can't seem to find a button/link on these forum pages to let me do that.

Movie Stopped Playing after about half an hour

Hi everyone!
I recently burnt an iDVD movie that I had made in iMovie and then played it on my DVD player. Everything was working fine and I had skipped a couple of chapters... after watching for around half an hour the video and audio stopped playing... I also tried it on another DVD player, it did the same thing but straight away. Could it have been something wrong with the burning or is it the DVD or the DVD players? The DVD I used was a TDK DVD-R.
Thanks

Hi Jia,
The media refers to your brand of discs. Try a different brand of discs. Verbatim is the most commonly recommended brand, although Sony, Panasonic and TDK have good success rates too, although sometimes even the highest recommended discs fail.
Also, don't use iDVD to burn a disc. Go to the file menu in iDVD and save it as a disc image. Then you can use Toast or the disc utility to burn the disc image at a slow speed - 1x or 2x. The slower the speed, the better the burn.
