Flash movie will not show in HTML page

I have created 2 small *.swf flash movies using Adobe CS3 professional..
i inserted one move into indes.html and it works just fine
I inserted another into a second page and all i see is a gray box????
Both movies are in the same directory,,, both html files are in that same directory and the *.js file is there also
What could possibly be wrong here ???
Confused
ps.s it works fine when i do a F12 to test it????

The usual causes involve missing files or misnamed files. Can you provide links to the web pages that are not displaying properly?

I have a friend who is not very savvy with computers. He works on a PC. (There may be versions for pc OS versions) I use a Mac-your website will not show the PC pages to me. How can I find the proper URL to embed in a button?

Try going to the following
Tools->Web Developer-> Page Source.
You can also access this by way of keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U
The View Page Source option is also available via the right-click menu by just right-clicking inside the page window & it will be the penultimate menu item.

Flash Movie will not display in Dreamweaver

A movie that I created with Flash CS6 will not play in a webpage that I created in Dreamweaver CS6. When I select "Live" in Dreamweaver, I get a prompt to download the Flash 11.7 player. I've downloaded this player several times, and the movie still does not play in DW. The movie displays when select play in Flash.
How can I get the movie to play in Dreamweaver?

More to the point: Does it play in any browser on your system? If not, you may have to fix that first. In nay case, ask your question in the DW forum and provide more details like soem system information to begin with...

Certain flash movies will not play - including Adobe TV movies with Dreamweaver tutorials

For months, certain .swf movies will not play. No error, won't even load the player. I thought it was because of IE8 which I installed several months ago. Now I loaded Firefox and Opera and the movies still do not play in those browsers either. At least I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference".
I have newly installed Dreamweaver CS4 and when I launch it, there are links to Adobe TV videos. These will not play. Here is an example of a video that will not play: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/
I have googled the error but the results seem to be developers talking about code in Action Script 3.
Can someone please help? I have spent hours trying to get this resolved.
My Flash Player version is 10,0,45,2 and I had the issue when I was at 10,0,32 whatever as well.

Ya, it's a very old post. This forum actually has a very high response rate (more than 90%+) thanks to people like Pat, Carl and Xircal who volunteer their time and knowledge to help the community.

Flash Movie will not play

I cant seem to get a flash movie to play. It was originally a
MPG that I
first tried convertinng to a flash movie via the Flash Video
Encoder...that
does not seem to want to play.
Then I imported the MPG file into flash, converted it to a
SWF...and I can
play it on my decktop, but will not play once uploaded. I can
play it in DW,
but not on the web.
I know there is something there..
Anyone have a suggestion??

Thanks
Gary

Ok, I have uploaded the clearoverplaysedmute.swf and the
corresponding fla
file... What am I still not doing or doing wrong?
Thanks again for your help

Text in Flash Animation will not show

I am hoping that I could "pick" the group's brain for a quick
moment. I am a novice developer when it comes to using Flash and I
am in the process of developing a series of Flash Banners. My
problem...the text will not display the banner when I save it as a
GIF file. It works fine in the "html" and ".swf" file format. I
always make to check "animated" option when I am publishing the
banner as a GIF file. I did update my flash player as well. Any
help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I finally discovered the answer.
ALL the files had to be in the same folder, none of them could even be in a sub-folder.
Once I made sure I copied ALL the files into the same folder, no more problem.
Thanks for the offer to help.

Flash file will not show itself in cs4

I'm building a website for animations in DW cs4. When I insert a flash movie file [flv] and try to view it in the program or in my broswers I get this message: "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type". I should add that the file looks stunning in Adobe Media player. Could sure use some help here.

First Adobe Media Player has been discontinued and will no longer be updated ( http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/ ). So I wouldn't gauge that for accuracy.
Second, can we see a link to the page? Typically in this case you are missing the Scripts folder or other associated files that DW creates to play the FLV file. But without seeing the file we can't say with 100% certainty.

SWF not showing in HTML page

Hiya,
Not sure if I should be posting here or on the Dreamweaver forum [there's a similar post there], but ..
I hope to have some music on my site and have been playing around with various Flash based, XML driven, mp3 players [though I'm a beginner with Flash].
I've got one to look [more or less] as I want it but it doesn't work! It works when previewed within Flash CS4 but not within Dreamweaver. The mp3 [the Josephine Foster song] is there, the XML file is there - I can't think what I've done wrong.
Here's the url: http://www.stevedrake.net/player.html
Thanks in advance.
steve

What is the folder structure for the html versus the Flash versus the xml file versus the mp3 file?
When the Flash file is placed loaded into the html file, the files it loads have to be referenced as if it is in the same folder as the html file (because it essentially is when it loads into that file).

My edits to a flash template will not show up on the web!

Hello all.... I am editing a flash template that I have
downloaded. I have read up on how this is done and here is my
process. I open the .fla file in Macromedia Flash 8, I make some
small changes to some of the text, and then at this point I have
tried a few things... I have clicked the "Done" button, at which
point it exports the file to .swf...... I have clicked file >
publish settings > publish...... and I have clicked file >
export > export movie...... no matter what I do when I go back
into dreamweaver and access the updated files, I can see my
changes. THEY ARE THERE. however when I upload them to my website
and access the page on the web.... the original template shows up.
It is as if nothing was ever changed.... HELP PLEASE I'm going
insane!

Are you positive that you've also uploaded the updated HTML
that reflects the new SWF? Have you cleared your cache in your
browser?

My new flash drive will not show up on my macbook pro?

It's really strange because I know my usb ports are working, the flash drive works perfectly fine on the mac desktops at my school and if I open up system profile it shows that it's plugged in! But it won't show up anywhere for me to actually access it! Not on my desktop, not in my finder, I've tried searching for it and checked to make sure I have my finder settings checked to show external drives on the desktop and in the sidebar in finder windows. I checked on one of the desktops and it is formated as...FAT 32 bit I think? something like that. I've also restarted a couple times already and plugged and unplugged it a few times to try and get it to work. The last time I plugged in someone else' flash it showed up too so I don't know why this one won't show up, I've looked everywhere to figure out why it might not be working, but I need it to work so I can get my school work off my school computer before the end of the semester!
If anyone can give me some suggestions or help I would really appreciate it!
P.S. This is what my system profiler shows for it:
USB FLASH DRIVE:
Product ID: 0xb107
Vendor ID: 0x03f0 (Hewlett Packard)

Press the Repair Disk button. If it doesn't find any issues or repairs those it finds, press Mount.
If it finds issues that it can't fix, run a more powerful utility such as DiskWarrior or a data recovery product on it.

My Flash Player will not show the images. Will someone please help me?

I am trying to make a Presentation to email for others to see without a browser, but when I do, it doesn't show. I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22, I've built the presentation, I've published the presentation and uploaded to my hosting. I have tried everythiing I can think of. It works on my machine; however, when I try to view it out of it's containing folder, it doesn't show anything but the preloader. Can someone please help me?
I can send you an example of a working Presentation along with a Zip file containing my presentation with everything I've built if my explanation isn't quite clear. Please help.
Thank you,

Didn't you ask that same question yesterday in this same forum?

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.
