Flash not showing up in browsers

Hello. I have been studying this problem in various threads
online and have not found a solution that works for me yet. I am
using Flash and Dreamweaver from Adobe's CS3 Web Premium package
(on a Mac G5 PowerPC if that matters) and have inserted the .swf
file into my Dreamweaver document. It previews fine locally, but
when posted online will not appear in any browser. I have posted
all of the accompanying files: AC_RunActiveContent.js,
ResearchImages.swf, ResearchImages.swd and have verified their
existence on the server. I pasted the code for the flash portion
alone in a file called ResearchImages.html which shows up just
fine. The same code embedded in my index.htm or index.html files
will not display, however. Below are some details that might be
helpful. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. =)
Website and page not displaying flash file:
http://www.biochem.utah.edu/shaw/index.htm
Same flash file which appears by itself just fine (images
change every 10 seconds):
http://www.biochem.utah.edu/shaw/images/flash/ResearchImages.html
Code for flash portion attached.

Oh! Just found the "Scripts" directory created by DW and
posted it. Everything works fine now. Thank you, "Mad Dog," for
your reply to another similar post.

New IE object fix makes flash not show in other browsers

I have a page containing a flash movie. When I open the html
page in Dreamweaver, it gives me a message saying 'this page
contains <object> tags that may not work properly in the most
recent versions of Internet Explorer. To correct this problem, you
can convert these tags to browser-safe scripts. Do you want
Dreamweaver to convert these tags for you?
However, when I do this, my flash movie does not show up in
my browsers (mac Firefox and/or Safari).
What do I need to do to correct this?

If you had js errors turned on in your IE, then when you
opened this first
link, you would see an error on line 16, stating "Object
expected". This
means that IE is not finding your referenced function -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http
on the page. This happens because this file -
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
has not been uploaded. Please upload the Scripts folder and
you will see
things begin to work.

Avast shouws that firefox has mailwere ,but i scanet it dont i dont know what to do its not showing on another browsers

hello i have this problem:avast shouws that firefox has mailwere ,but i scanet it dont i dont know what to do its not showing on another browsers ,but i dont know haw to fix it

Sometimes avast! is finding a bad add-on, and in other cases, it's just a cookie. How much detail can you get about it from avast?
Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning out bad add-ons. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it looks:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
''Note: If you are blocked from navigating to this page, you can load it using the search box or "Run" dialog by typing or pasting the following and pressing Enter:''
firefox.exe "about:addons"
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?

Flash not showing up in DW Template

I have a DW template page that contains a flash element at
the top and when I apply it to my pages and upload the pages the
flash is missing. I thought it was a problem with where the swf
resided, but I've put the swf file in the images folder, I put it
in it's own swf directory and now it's in the same directory as the
temp. Still not showing up. I'm using CS3. Anyone have any
suggestions?
Here is one of the pages...
http://www.nlf.com/osprey/html/services_overview.html
Thanks

Remove your Flash from that page. Then reinsert it, and when
you do, make
the link to the Flash file ROOT RELATIVE.

Flash not working in web browsers

Hello,
I'm working on an Intel Mac, 10.4.7 and recently the Flash
plugin for my web browsers -- Firefox, Safari, Opera -- stopped
providing audio: video works fine, but no audio coming through. I
am getting audio in other applications, so I know the sound
settings are not muted somewhere on my computer.
I can't trace this problem to anything specific, except
around the time I noticed this problem I had installed the latest
version of iTunes. But, after working with Apple tech support, and
doing what they called an 'archival reinstall of the Apple OS, I'm
still having this problem with not getting Flash audio in the
browers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

have you tried re-installing flash

Flash not showing up

First of all thank you in advance whomever may help me.
Here's my issue:
I am currently working on this site
FiveStarTrumpet and I
have a flash object at the very top of the page that will not show
up. I have went and checked the page source and it's there but not
at the same time. So I copied the page source and pasted it into a
blank page in DW, just to see if maybe the server added some junk
somewhere that I couldn't see and it shows up fine in DW. I have
never had this issue before and am baffled by it. It's not even
showing a broken link or anything on the page itself. I used
FireFox 2.0.0.1 and IE 6.0 and it didn't show up in either. I'm
still on WinXP so I have not changed any settings as far as the OS
is concerned either. If any more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks,
James

This is how DW8.0.2 inserts Flash to get around the EOLAS
changes in IE. If
you read through the entire code, you'd understand what is
happening. Your
changes will reverse all of this. Not desirable....

Spry horizontal menu- not showing in some browsers

my spry horizontal menu is showing up as a vertical list in
some of our viewers computers. can i adjust the basic html so that
if spry does not show up on someone's computer, a more basic
horizontal table will show?

Thank you all for the answers.
Can pop menu magic work with image maps?
Back in the day I created several drop down menus in Dreamweaver CS2 by adding behaviors to image maps. I liked that I pretty much could drop a menu from any point on an image.
Example: http://www.bettendorfdental.com/
So I have been going back to my old laptop and CS2 every time I needed to change something in these menus, but that was very inefficient.
My client wants the top banner to be in one image, with customized buttons that share the background of the logo and business name.
I have been customizing the topaz template in pop up magic but what the client reallly wants is to have the tab images as part of the larger image. So ideally there wouldn't be any text in the top menu and only the drop down part would show up.
http://www.monicagraphicdesign.com/Bill/spiritual.html
For people like me, who do not write or understand code, even searching a knowledge base can be a challenge because we do no know what to type in the search box! I am glad to learn Project Seven offers one on one support.
Another challenge is that the client manages his own site and uses Front Page on a PC (and I have neither) so I don't even know if he can attach the stylesheets to every page where he inserts the menu.

Flash not showing

Hi there,
I am using swf files for headers on my website. All has worked well until tonight. If I clear my browsing history in IE then go to my website, the swf does not show on the index page (index page only thus far). If you refresh the browser the file loads fine. The only thing I have changed is I added some css for a navigation bar, which I would not think would effect the swf. You can look at the site at http://auburnillinois.us
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Found another issue.. I loaded accuweather to the site. If I remove the accuweather, the header loads fine. If I add the weather back, the header does not work. Here is my code for the weather.
<div style='width: 120px; height: 60px; background-image: url( http://vortex.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/backgrounds/blue_120x60_bg.jpg ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #346797;' >

</div>
<div style='text-align: center; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 12px; color: #FFFFFF;' ><a style='color: #FFFFFF' href='http://www.accuweather.com/us/IL/AUBURN/62615/city-weather-forecast.asp?partner=netweather &traveler=0' >Weather Forecast</a></div>

Does this help?

Flash not showing in SAFARI only??

Flash swfs showed up fine in both explorer and safari, until
I installed Flash 8 Pro, which prompted me to upgrade to Flash
Player 9. After that, no swf content would show in Safari, even
local files. They still show in explorer though.
I uninstalled all my old players using the uninstall program,
which deleted all flash plugins from library/internet plugins. Then
reinstalled Flash Player 9, and still no luck. I also uninstalled
again, and reinstalled Flash Player 8 which is the last known
working player I had, and it's still broken. In Safari's activity
window, it doesn't show any error or any swf downloaded. It's just
missing alltogether.
any help?!??!?!

Well i tried a couple of sites and none of them are showing
flash at all!!! On our intranet setup as well the problem persists.
None of the flash objects load in the browser. Tried on IE but no
luck.
Although if you just load a html page directly in browser
without using the web server, the flash shows fine.
If anyone knows what the issue is then please do post a
reply.
Thanks!

Flash website problem / jpg in xml does not show in different browsers

Hello Everyone,
I am working on a flash website which is almost finished.
My problem is that I created dynamic loading content, so the contents in the flash ( Most of them) loads from .xml files. This xml contains text and jpg.
when i test the movie and final html it works perfectly and xml loads with all its contents in any browser.
but when I upload the website through FTP, the xml shows very strange ! . In IE only half of the jpgs loads and some content repeat itself, while in firefox none of the jpg loads.
The only images I can see are the one that I have directly put on the flash pages.
Does anyone knows a solution? I am desperatly trying to figure this out!!
I appriciate your answers.
Kara
the website address: http://www.hofstede-symposium.eu/

I could figure the problem just right now. so Easy!!
I just changed the slash es in xml . So if the original one was : "thumbnail\my.jpg " I chanegd the slash forward "thumbnail/my.jpg". I also put the xml file, my images and swf. file in the same folder.
I tried it and it worked in firefox, google chrome and IE.
Hope it helped!!

Flash not showing up in browser

I have a weird question that doesn't pertain to the actual
macromedia software. I created a flash banner ad for this website,
www.metrictv.com. So far when I view this movie it appears fine on
most of the systems and browsers I try it on. However, for some odd
reason it doesn't appear on my (fairly new and very up to date)
computer at home nor my parents which is a Dell that is not even a
year old.
Here is the kicker. The flash movie on the left hand side of
the metrictv.com page shows up on both systems??? the flash movies
on the right hand side of the same page doesn't. What in the world
is going on? I checked to make sure I have the Flash 8 plug-in
installed on both systems and it is installed. I am dumb founded
because I have tried viewing the page in IE and Mozilla and still
doesn't show up. Is there some system security setting I need to
turn off... like something that only allows one flash animation to
show at a time.
Please help because this is driving me crazy. Thanks in
advance.

Bold font in Flash not showing in SWF

Hiya,
Sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm not an expert with Flash.
I'm adapting an off the shelf mp3 player and would like to make some text bold - namely [see: http://www.stevedrake.net/music_09] the text that shows the current artist/song at the top.
This is dynamic text from an XML file. I've embedded the fonts [Verdana regular and bold - OpenType] in Flash CS5 but the bold won't display even though the special characters do display [Jónsi].

I know what you mean, the outlines embedded should be thicker because we "think" it's embedding the fonts as 2 separate classes. I don't think it's this simple internally. You can see in the font manager it groups fonts variants (regular/bold/italic all under the same font name). Internally it's actually keeping track.
This is actually behavior I don't mind. My example was more complex than it needed to be. I like when fonts just map properly and actually all you need to do is set the .bold flag and it will automatically use the bold version of the font that's embedded. That tells me they're internally linked.
e.g.:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var useBold:Boolean = false;
// fonts
var gRegFont:Font = new GRegular();
// handler
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);
function handleClick(e:MouseEvent):void
    useBold = !useBold;
    // fix Flash's desire to mass-apply, set twice
    tf.bold = false;
    myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf, 0, 16);
   // now handle bolding
tf.bold = useBold;
    myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf, 17, myTLFTextField.length);
// TLFTextField init
var myTLFTextField:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
addChild(myTLFTextField);
myTLFTextField.x = 10;
myTLFTextField.y = 10;
myTLFTextField.width = 400;
myTLFTextField.height = 100;
myTLFTextField.embedFonts = true;
myTLFTextField.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
myTLFTextField.text = "This is my text: This is affected by format";
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat(gRegFont.fontName,16,0x0,false);
myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf,0,myTLFTextField.length);
I don't even need to set the .font property at all. Internally it's linked and that works fine. I'm not even instantiating the bolded version, it's precompiled and available. I also forgot to set embedFont=true and some antialiasing but it works if you do or don't anyhow.
Edit:
Haha I see you were editing your post too. I think we're both on the same page seeing we said the same exact thing. Although I do need to set the non-bold TextFormat like I did setting from char 0-16 or the entire TextField (or TLFTextField) goes to bold. Setting both formats every time fixes the issue. I don't even need to keep setting a font, it's already saved in the formatting object. I just turn bold on and off.
