Flash Movie works in Firefox, buggy in IE7

I have a website at
www.cerebellumsoftware.com
. My SWF was made in Flash 8. I have actionscript 1.0 and Flash 8
publish settings. My site works flawlessly in Firefox and other
browsers, but all users who visit the site in Internet Explorer 7
report bugs. See for yourself! What's the problem and how do I fix
it? I need this site to be available for all browsers as we will be
losing business! Please help - Thank you

What, in particular, are you talking about. I did not see a
problem in IE7.

Can't get flash to work in firefox

On I. E. the flash movie works fine but when it is tried in firefox it doesn't appear. A right click of the mouse shows that the flash is there but it doesn't work. Is there something that has to be added or removed in order to make this work properly in firefox? Going to other sites and the flash works fine except when it comes to my site? There is a possibility that it is my coding but it was cut and paste from adobe. The rationale is that firefox should be able to handle this code but it doesn't? Any ideas?

Not meaning to give you mis-information. Am struggling to overcome this problem and have been able to get the firefox to host the embedded swf.
What has happened is that the web page has been recreated specifically for firefox. Being under the impression that if the embed was done on I. E. then it would tranfer to firefox automatically. This doesn't seem to be the case. In a workaround it was decided that re-doing the page would be the best way to go.
Your assistance has been and is very beneficial in that you made me aware of the publish aspect in flash. Imagine Homer Simpson giving his "D'oh!"
Not sure if what is being done is right but it works. Am able to send it to the server, able to see it working as needed and am now looking at reading the browser to send the right page.
Were it not for your information then there would be a whole lot of struggling left to do. Let me know if this is the right track, please.
Thank you!

Flash Movie works when testing, but not in application

My flash movie works when I "Test Movie" within Flash 8 or
when I press F12 and open it in the browser, but it only show the
dynamic text, not the pictures when I place it within my page. The
dynamic text changes properly but no images are displayed.

I suspect this is where my issue lies, but I am not sure how
to fix it. I have attached some code that defines the image
location. I am able to successfully retrieve documents with the
following, is this the same type of scenerio,

except in the images folder ?

Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

Question
Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

Flash not working in Firefox / Windows Update

Flash content is not displaying at all for me in Mozilla
Firefox (1.5.0.3, no extensions). I don't get the "additional
plug-ins are required", and I don't even see the space displayed
that the Flash object would take up on the screen.
Flash content works fine in Internet Explorer and Opera. I
had put this down as a Firefox issue, until the recent Microsoft
Windows Update patch for Flash -- Windows keeps telling me that
there is an update for the Flash player available that I should
install, but the installation fails every time I try it.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing both Flash and
Firefox, with no luck. Any suggestions on what I might try to clear
this up? Obviously, I could tell Windows (XP SP2, updates current
except this one) to ignore this patch, but I'd rather not do that
if there is a potential security issue. Plus, I'd like to get Flash
working again with Firefox.

Flash not working with Firefox

I have a site built using Dreamweaver and FD24 extensions for the Flash elements.
http://www.amesis.co.uk/redcard/
Until yesterday everything was fine. Still ok with IE ver 8.0.6001 and both Vista and XP operating systems
Flash ver 10.0.45.2 installed
However my client cannot see any of the flash images in the header and on the leisure page gallery (just a white box). The front side panel works ok on the home page
He is using Firefox. again ok yesterday. He has tried to reinstall the latest version of flash and received installation successful message.
Using the same PC's he can see if switches to IE
Would appreciate any help in getting this sorted nad what advice I can give him. It is essential that the site works with Firefox so need to resolve.
Thanks in anticipation
Ken

Hi ken, If I understand your post, you are wanting help for the Firefox user. And he has installed Flash Player using the FF
browser.
The first thing would be to (using FF), go to plug-ins and find the SWF plug-in, made sure it is vs 10.0.45.2 and is enabled.
And be sure there is only one listing of the SWF. If there is another listing, it needs removed/deleted.
Also, he can go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Find the Flash folder and post back all files listed there.
If he has installed Flash Player in IE, those files will be there also and the version numbers will be evident. However,
the files for FF will not be. The FF files are NPSWF32.dll and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe. Right click on each and then click on
Properties to find the version numbers, which I need.
This is the best way to determine if the Flash Player files that are installed are correct and the FF plug-in is correct.
The IE equivalent to the FF plug-in is in the IE manage add ons and is listed as Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..
Flash10e.ocx and must be enabled also.
Please let me know if I have not understood your post.
Thanks,

Flash stopped working in Firefox

Hi there,
I have
- Flash player (11.2.202.235)
- Firefox (13.0, as of this morning)
- (64 bit) Windows 7 Professional
Flash no longer works (in IE or Firefox, fine in Chrome) - I don't know if this happened as the result of an update. I have tried uninstalling Flash (and Firefox), deleting the contents of the various Flash-related folders, and re-installing, but to no avail. After installing Flash player again, this page:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=0
briefly shows some Flash once, but if I return to it this no longer works, there's just a blank space that's eventually replaced with a banner ad.
Anyone got any tips as to how to get this running again?
Thanks,
Toby

I am still having this issue. Those flash sites mentioned above, I've found that, just as said, one works while the other does not. However, that site that it does work on seems to be the exception, not the rule. It's the only flash I've found that does work.
Also, unlike some of these people, I know EXACTLY when my flash stopped working. I was streaming the DOTA 2 competitions online when the update box came up, encouraging me to update. I put it off for an hour or two, then ran the suggested update, right at the beginning of a match I was very interested in. Well, at the end of the update, Adobe wanted me to reset Firefox, so I did. When I went back to the site, I could no longer stream. I'm fairly computer oriented, growing up in a geek home, so it didn't take me more then 5 minutes to figure out the source of the issue. Upon checking flash on a few other sites, I knew the problem was universal.
I immediately uninstalled 11.3 it and reinstalled the previous version, 11.2.200.235. The flash then worked perfectly again and all was well. This was the 8th I believe.
Well, like an idiot, while doing something else, the update suggestion came up about an hour ago and I allowed it to update. I assumed that this previous issue had been universal, so naturally this was a new update that wouldn't have to problem. Oh, how wrong I was. Exactly the same problem has returned. In an effort to correct the problem, as I did before, I tried to resort to a previous version of flash. However, since a few days have past, I can no longer FIND that version. And I am not a happy camper.
I want to that site, where the one flash works, and disabled the accelloration thing in the settings (it should be noted that, for the before mentioned site where flash won't load, you CAN'T right click to get to settings, because there is just a white, empty screen. Right clicking doesn't do anything). I then looked for anything else that might be a problem (for example, I gave the system unlimited data storage).
Also, I am running Firefox 13, just as I was BEFORE your flash update. It was working just fine. Yes, I am sure of that.
No, I don't have any issues with my physical memory space, I have plenty, so that sure isn't the issue either.
Please, figure out what the heck your update screwed up in Firefox and fix it. In the meantime, please send me a copy of the 11.2.200.235 update, so I can actually function again. I know 11.3 has security hole fixes (yes, I read up on it). Screw the "fixes," I just want to be able to use my internet again! I have things I need to get done. Thank you for your product, we are all very grateful for it. However, it is a major problem for me when it stops working suddenly. In the meantime, I have to use Chrome, which I don't prefer, as all my settings are in Firefox.
Thank you for your time, as well as your quick reply.

Flash wont work in firefox 4 beta OR 3.6.3 in ubuntu

okay i got firefox 4 beta 11 and noticed flash player wasn't working. I decided to fix it later and went back to the version i previously used.
Flash wont work on there EITHER!
edit: firefox 3.6.3

If it is about a problem with a Firefox 4.0 beta version then you may need to post in the Firefox Builds forum on that site.

Flash wont work in firefox, does in IE

I was having a problem with flash player, I had someone from Verizon check out the settings and s/he tried flash in IE instead of firefox, and it worked. Are there any settings that might need to be changed in firefox so flash will work? Thanks in advance.

I have a desktop that I use with flas and firfox with no problem. The issue is on my laptop. I cant see anything using flash. If I go to a page that has a flash ad on it, I get an option to install missing plugins. If I go to a video, (like YT), I get a direct link to the flash download page.

Can't make Flash button work in firefox and safari

I'm creating an Entry Page slideshow here with Flash Cs3 and AS2:
http://vaforestwild.com/
I'd like to be able to click on the whole slideshow (or the "Enter Site" text) to go to another page on the site, which I'm calling "vaforestwild.com/home.html." I've read various tutorials all day and tried many things, but couldn't seem to apply any "on release" action to the "Enter Site" text that would work. I even created an invisible button (putting a keyframe on just the HIT state and deleting it from the UP state), named the instance "invbutton3", and then typed in this action on the first frame and inserted a keyframe at the end of the show:
invbutton3.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://vaforestwild.com/home.html");
The cursor changes to a hand, but nothing happens when clicking on the show. So I was experimenting with modifying the Object text in the head section of the index file where the slideshow is located and I stumbled on something that made the clickable link work in Internet Explorer, but not in Safari and Firefox. I modified the object text to read like this:
onfocus="MM_goToURL('parent','http://vaforestwild.com/home.html');return document.MM_returnValue"
(Previously, it had http://vaforestwild.com/index.html and would just start the slideshow over if you clicked on it)
Here is the entire <object> text:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" name="slideshow" width="945" height="400" id="slideshow" title="vfwg-slideshow" onfocus="MM_goToURL('parent','http://vaforestwild.com/home.html');return document.MM_returnValue">
                 <param name="movie" value="vfwg-entryshow2.swf" />
                 <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <embed src="vfwg-entryshow2.swf" width="945" height="400" name="slideshow" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
     </embed>
     </object>
Can you help me do one of two things, either 1) modify the object text so the clickable link will go to that "home" page in all 3 browsers or 2) fix the slideshow action itself so the action script will work on the invisible button.
I hope this isn't too confusing. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you so much for your help.
I should have mentioned that I was unable to use the html file produced by Flash Cs3 in any browser because I get the message "this page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js". I'll be happy to work with it if you think it's best. Here is the uploaded html file followed by the code in the file:

</html>
Since the html page didn't work, I tried dragging the swf file into my index page and Dreamweaver automatically produced the "embed object" text that I pasted in my previous email. Incidentally, I was mistaken when I said that text was in the head section. It wasn't, it was in the body. Here's the script code in the head section:
<script type="text/JavaScript">

    </script>
Okay, so now I have produced a test page to work on here:
http://vaforestwild.com/slideshowtest.html
I started over by letting Dreamweaver create the object text again, and here's what I have (script in the head is the same as above) The only change I made is in the size of the width and height, which Dreamweaver thought was 32x32 :
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="945" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="vfwg-entryshow2.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="vfwg-entryshow2.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="945" height="400"></embed>
</object>
I believe my problem is most likely related to how I'm applying action to my button in Flash. I find the tutorials somewhat confusing and I am unable to do exactly what the tutorials say, even though the writers specify they are using AS2. I'm going to be continuing to try different things and I'll report back if I am successful. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions based on the information I've provided, I would love to hear them. Thank you!

Flash not working in Firefox at all

I'm running Firefox 16.0.2. Any pages with Flash tell me that I need to install the missing plugin. I've tried re-downloading the latest Flash Player a few times, uninstalling it from my laptop entirely, reinstalling, etc. and nothing has worked. I've checked and it seems to be working fine in Google Chrome. So, I'm going to assume this is a Firefox-related issue, but how on earth can I fix it? Should I download the previous version of Firefox? Any help is appreciated!

Flash not working in Firefox 4 beta 11

I haven't managed to get Flash working in ff4 -- I had manually installed the 64bit "alpha" version from:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/
by copying it to:
/usr/lib/mozilla/libflashplugin.so
Which seems to work for ff3 but for ff4b11, no dice. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I found the problem. I had managed to download the 32bit of FF4 (doh!), so there was a conflict. I finally ran Firefox from the commandline and saw some dreaded ELF errors:
(firefox-bin:14755): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
and this tipped me off!
I downloaded and reinstalled from:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b11/linux-x86_64/en-US/
Now Firefox4 is running, with Flash, and it screams!

Flash Movie Works in Preview (Ctrl+enter) but not in Published

Hi All-
I hope somebody on here can help me out. I'm not sure what else to try. I have a flash project that I have been working on for a while, today its stopped functioning properly. To be clear. It still runs JUST FINE when I preview it (CTRL+ENTER), but when I publish the file and run the SWF file, or the HTML file the movie no longer functions properly. Specifically any ActionScript from the main timeline seems to no longer be functioning. ActionScript contained within movie clips continues to function properly, but nothing else.... .
There is about 400 lines of code right now (variables, functions etc.) but if there is some where specific that I could provide I'm more then happy to. Thanks for your time and help.
Regards,
Nathan

No, its in the same directory that it was before....
I am not sure exactly where the problem is, but I am fairly sure that it has something to do with the flash player installed on my computer + the flash player installed by CS4....
The SWF file runs properly when I host it on a site, but locally there is some type of conflict that causes all kinds of problems...
If it helps:
Windows 7 ultimate 64
Flash CS4
Flash Player 10.0.32.18
If there is more info I can provide that can help you identify the problem please let me know, its rather frustrating.
Cheers
EDIT: For the record I have tried uninstalling the "player" and reinstalling but as of right now I continue to have problems.
