Flash movie won't play on the web server.

It plays locally just fine. I used Flash and Dreamweaver to
create the HTML code and neither have worked. I have all of the
flash and html elements in the same folder on the server so I'm
assuming it's not a path issue.
Here's the one from Flash:

Here's the
actual page on the server.
I am about to pull my hair out. I keep finding articles on
line but they are all different problems and are over a year old in
most cases.
= (

hi there,
when u find the answer, plz let me know! :D
i have been pullin my hair out 2 for ages. I think i have a
similar problem to urs.
My website previews perfectly when i test in flash.
functionality is fine. but when i upload to my server, the FLV
playback screws up. i.e comes in when its not suppose to and doesnt
reset. (keeps layering the audio)
i think it "may" have something to do with my web host server
settings. i have tried adding a FLV mime extension. no good! ...and
also think the html might have to have an absolute location for the
file. i.e it can't find the file on the server as it can while
playing locally. good luck! n like i said, let me know if u find a
solution plz! ronnie

Flash movie won't play on testing or remote server in web page

I have a Flash slideshow that will only play in a browser if I click File > Open and open the .swf file locally and directly (not in a web page). It has never played in a webpage, remotely on the web server or locally on the Wamp server. It plays correctly in Flash when I test it.
I have tried uploading the HTML page that Flash generates (without any changes), and it won't even play in that file. I have also tried using Dreamweaver's "Insert Flash" feature, and that was no good either.
Here is the direct link to the .swf:
http://www.farrelldoc.com/glw/greenlilysample.swf
Here is the page that Flash generated:
http://www.farrelldoc.com/glw/greenlilysample.html
Here is the page I created using Insert Flash:
http://www.farrelldoc.com/glw/home.php
Any help is greatly appreciated! I have a demo tomorrow, and I just have to get this figured out. I'm at the end of my rope!
Thanks so much!
Karen

No, unfortunately, that didn't work.
BTW, I had to move the files because I now have a 500 error on the original directory due to my first attempt at installing CMS. (I will be getting my money back for that software.) Here is the location of the new stuff:

Published Flash module and 404 errors in the web server log

I’ve created a Presenter module, published it to my computer, and uploaded all the files to a web server. And it plays fine via the web.
The odd thing is a bunch of 404 errors in the web log:
10.1.2.104 - - [29/Jul/2009:10:36:00 -0700] "GET /repository/university/courses/3/flash/data/spk10821.1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 255 "-" 1166 419
10.1.2.104 - - [29/Jul/2009:10:36:29 -0700] "GET /repository/university/courses/3/flash/data/spk10821.1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 255 "-" 1166 419
10.1.2.104 - - [29/Jul/2009:10:36:57 -0700] "GET /repository/university/courses/3/flash/data/spk10821.1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 255 "-" 1166 419
In the data directory there is a file named spk10821.jpg that was generated by Presenter. The image is actually the presenter bio photo that would normally show up in the sidebar -- but no photo is there. The browser never requests the valid spk10821.jpg file, only the non-existent spk10821.1.jpg path.
Anybody know why this would be happening? I see in data/viewer.xml there is a tag for <image>spk10821.1.jpg</image> but I don’t know why Presenter would mention that file in the XML but generate a differently-named one in the publish folder.
I’m wondering if I should have the web server rewrite requests with the ".1.jpg" ending to get rid of the ".1" part so they will work.
By the way, this is with PowerPoint 2003 SP3 and Presenter 7.0.1.

Hi Daniel,
I am assuming that you are using Visual Studio 2010 to target the .Net framework 4.0
Crystal Reports 2008 is not compatible with VS 2010. Use [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010|Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Production Release Now AvailableCystlR%2528SAPWeblogs%253ACrystal+Reports%2529] to target .Net framework 4.0.
Deploy the application using the methods specified in the 'Deployment' section of the [CR for VS 2010 .Net SDK developer guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sapCRVS2010/en/crnet_dg_2010_en.zip].
See if you can reproduce the issue after redeploying the application as mentioned above.
Few questions-
- Is it the dev machine or production machine causing the issue?
- OS version?
- What does the application do? i.e. view, export, print report?
- Issue is with some reports or all the reports.
See if there is an image on the report, remove the image and add it as a picture object ' Insert --> Picture' from the CR designer.
Hope this helps,
Bhushan.

Flash movie won't play in FireFox or IE

Okay, So I haven't done much in flash in a while. However, I imported a new movie and then published the movie from flash and made an html page as well. For some reason I can not see the movie when I go to the page.
http://www.pe.gatech.edu/video/frankie-pool.html
Does it play for anyone else?
Any ideas on what to do to fix this?
Thanks
Tim

Could be a number of things.
For starters the code calls for this file:
http://www.pe.gatech.edu/movies/frankie-pool.swf
in this line:
<param name="movie" value="http://www.pe.gatech.edu/movies/frankie-pool.swf" />
Attempting to direct download by clicking on the link above returns file not found... so of course the browser will not be able to find it either.
The path to the .swf uses the folder "movies" but the html page in is a folder called "video".
Is that correct in both cases? if it is, the it could be a pathing problem... but of course you have to first make sure that all the files have been uploaded correctly.
There may be as many as 3 files needed, the main .swf file, perhaps a skin .swf file... though maybe not, and of course, the actual .flv file.
Double check to make sure they have all been correctly uploaded.
Then a word about pathing... if the .swf and/or the .flv are not in the same folder as the html page, the path used by the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the html page, NOT the physical location of the .swf or the .flv file.
For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Flash movies won't play in document or browser

Hi there,
I am having problems with putting flash movies onto my website. I know this is a common problem so apologies for any repetition.
I have trawled through a lot of forums trying to solve this issue and so far have not found a solution that works for me.
First of all I'm using dreamweaver v7, on a macbook OSX (intel)
On inserting flash movie, only the box with 'f' apears in the document, and in browser, nothing at all. It doesn't worry me so much that the movie doesn't appear in the doc, as with shockwave it's the same. However shockwaves play fine in browser.
I have tried the following so far:
- moved the movie .flv file to the same folder as the html document that it relates to
- made the file name really, really simple. 6 letters and no other characters.
- tested in alternative browsers
- tried inserting another flash object (flash button) to see whether the problem resides in inserting flash objects, or if the problem is with the movie file itself (the flash button worked, so I thought the movie file must be the problem) - so then ...
- I tried compressing the movie in a different programme - I tried sorenson squeeze - still nothing
- As inserting the movie as a quicktime works fine using 'insert shockwave', I even tried changing the file extension of the QT version from .mov to .swf as I read somewhere that it might work (!!!??) but it didn't though the movie still played without dreamweaver
So, I reach the conclusion that the movie is not after all the problem - but what is? since inserting other flash objects does work?
Very confused! Thank you for any help offered.... Laura

I am a bit confused though - is flash video not the same as flash movie?
No. Flash refers to its files as movie files. FLA (editable) and SWF (compressed for Web) are Flash movies - not to be confused with cinema. FLV files are Flash Video files.
Just to confuse matters some, just prior to the creation of the .flv format, it was not uncommon to import videos into Flash and save them as .swf movies (videos). But that was only good for very short, very small videos.
Additionally, since you brought it up, Shockwave files are also referred to as movies. But they are created by Director, not Flash. Director, like Flash, refers to its files as movie files. DIR is the editable file and DCR is the Shockwave-compressed file for the Web. The Shockwave plugin is not the same as the Shockwave Flash plugin. Shockwave Flash cannot play Shockwave movies, but Shockwave movies can play Flash .swf movies - neither of which are videos.
How's that for clear as mud?

Flash movie won't play in PowerPoint

I have created a flash movie, however, when I try to view the
slideshow, all I see is a blank page. I have installed the most
updated Active Controls and the Shockwave Player, but it still
won't play.

Right click. Open up the properties of the embedded swf.
Change 'Playing' to True. Close properties.
Careful, this may not last. I think it automatically reverts
to "playing = Flase"

HT1657 my movie won't play, but the 24 hour timer is running

I started downloading a movie, and received a message that my movie ws ready to view. When I attempted to watch it, it would not play, but the 24 hour timer is running. What do do to get the movie to play and get the full 24 hours to watch it?
Thanks. I'm using a mac mini with lion os.

Hi Steve - have you renamed the 'file' (actually a 'package' which can be opened with Control-Click), or a file within that package? If the latter, you may have lost the link to the Media folder.
If the former, it will have created a new project - you will find the originally-named project in iMovie's Trash. In fact it should have asked you about it.
I don't know if re-naming has been the cause of the problem you have though.
Try doing a 'Save As' with a new name and see it that new project works.
If not, open the 'package, click on Show Package Contents, and then go Shared Movies>iDVD and try opening the .mov file there.
If that plays, it hopefully can be imported into a new project - as one long clip.

Flash Movie won't Play

Good Morning,
I'm sure someone may have asked about this already but...
I'm running Safari 4.0.2 On OS 10.5.7. I am putting my portfolio page (html) onto a CD to make copies to mail out. One of the pieces that I am showing on the html page is an flash animation that I designed.
When I click the link in my page that opens the animation in a separate html page, the flash animation proceeds to play fine...in Firefox, but when I click the link in Safari... I get a blank pop up and the folder containing the actual .swf file pops up.
Not sure what's going on. the .swf plays in all other browsers except Safari. I've checked Safari prefs. and enable plugins is selected.
Any ideas.
Thanks

This url doesn't work at all. Do you have another one?
In any case, if correctly uploaded you site should have more to the url, like the name of the folder which demo.html is in. You should upload the folder which has the same name as your site does inside iweb plus the index.html which is published alongside that folder.

Hi Brubble,
IE 6 launched an update a while back which causes this to
happen, or a box appears around your swf when viewed in your
browser - so this will be the case for IE 6 and upward. There
should be something similar to this (or it will be):

ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

Hi,
just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
How can this be fixed?
Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

Flash Video won't play in MX 2004 Movie

Hello all!
I'm having an issue where the video portion of my flash
movie, in my director movie will not play on the Mac Side.
All works fine on the PC side, on the Mac all functions
including the audio work just fine, but no video.
I did make this project in Director 11 also, and the Flash
works great. But when I make a Director 11 Projector all goes south
so I gave that idea up and went back to MX 2004.
Any help would be great.
And thanks in advance. :o)>

Hi Rob!
Sorry I didn't include all the info.
It was authored on a PC, but using the cross platform settings and both projectors were made seperate from each other. It uses an swf (in director) that is calling an FLV.
all plays well when I launch the projector on the desktop of the Mac, but after I burn all files to a CD the video part of the Flash doesn't show, although it has all it's functions and audio working.
I've completed the PC side of this project and it all works fine.
The PC and Mac share the same Flash files.
I've been playing with the Mac Xtras and grabbing those right off my Mac, and to me it seems like that somehow should be the culprit. I'm just not sure which Xtras I should be swapping out, there seems to be only 3 to choose from.

I rented a movie on Apple TV and it started to load then froze, now I get one of two errors "error loading content" or "movie will be ready to watch in 1 minute"... after trying repeatedly ,it still won't play. The movie rental is going to expire.

i've tried this repeatedly for the past 6 hours. Rebooted, etc. I can stream movies from netflix and hulu but the movie i rented won't play. The timer is ticking becuase it started then froze but now it won't load.

force quit app. double click home button and slide app up and off page
Peace, Clyde
