Music player shows & plays on preview but not online

Hi. I'm using a Windows 7 laptop. I'm trying a quick & dirty update on an old site, so I'm updating the music clip(s) player, 3 actually. They show up and play the clips in Dreamweaver, they show & play the clips when I preview from Dreamweaver using Chrome, Firefox and IE browsers. But when I uploaded them online the players show but the music clips don't play(!?!). The clips are between 2-5 mins.
I thought Windows did something funny like make the files look back to my local drive, so I copied & pasted from "my documents" window & uploaded the files again overwriting them from an XP desktop. Still nothing. Help, please. This is a portfolio piece, but I don't want to spend too much time on it more than I have already. The page can be found at http://www.pinkturtle.us/felicite/sample.html
Thanks,
VB

Hello everyone. Thank you very much for your advice and help -- and your time looking into this project for me. I really do appreciate it.
Gramps, the folder wouldn't show anything if one types in that url directly because there are no html files there, right? Only my music files (m4a (which are mpeg 4 audio files that worked on ie5 and play when previewed through Dreamweaver)) and music playlists, which reference said audio files, are there, oh and maybe a txt file or two.
Hans would a server have issues with m4a files now if they haven't before? In any case, I have replaced the 1st player's "playlist" with just 1 aria bypassing the m3u playlist altogether. The second player goes to one of Charlotte Church's pieces as an mp3; the last player has the playlist m3u extension. These m3u files, mp3 & m4a files are all in the folder called music_samples. They are referenced from this experimental/mark-up page: http://www.pinkturtle.us/felicite/samples_fr.html
And, it works in Chrome -- when browsed through Dreamweaver. (I'm having no luck with IE...)
So what's up w/ that? It was all working from my laptop last week. I can't imagine what I did to this site.
Again, all your help is appreciated.

Dreamweaver rollover working in preview but not online

I use image swap for rollovers often. After making some changes to my friends website I noticed all the rollovers stopped working. I tried it in all browsers, I tried restoring a file from time machine, I tried it with a bunch of different images.
So I tried a very simple blank page with one image on it and "swap image" behavior applied to it. It also displays fine in the preview and not online (Dreamweaver CS5.5)
http://amypalma.com/test3.html
Please help, I think I'm going crazy.

Your file is corrupted. All line breaks have been stripped clean out of your code. Scripts cannot work this way.
Try using a different FTP client like Filezilla to upload your pages.
Also check the Line Break type in your Preferences. See screenshot.
Hit OK.
Go to Commands > Apply source formatting.
Nancy O.
Possibility #2 (and I've done this countless times) is that somewhere along the way in editing, someone inadvertently removed line breaks using the "Find and Replace" feature while cleaning up other code and applied it to more than necessary places.. If that's the case, replace the scripts with redownloaded (or in this case reinstalled) originals. I've broken some really cool scripts this way and I spend a few hours kicking myself in the backside for it, but I always keep a backup of my scripts for when I forget and do it again.
Nancy's right, though Filezilla is a good solution, but if the pages are corrupted, it will load them as they are, and the problem will persist.

Flash site works locally but not online (uploaded to server)

We have bought a flash portfolio template and have customized it with our pictures, video, etc.
When we test it locally on our computer (using different web browsers) it all works perfectly well. We have uploaded the finished website to our server and when you go to the address online, it doesn't work (a loader progress shows but it is stopped and nothing happens).
We have however uploaded the original template we bought and it works perfectly online.
The template consists of and index.html, various .swf, and various .xml that we have modified according to the template instructions (it also contains a java script folder we haven't touched).
What is it wrong with our modified template - it works locally without problem…!
Thanks for your help

When a Flash file works locally but not on-line, it's almost always a pathing issue (provided you did upload ALL files and do not have something missing... as suggested by Ned).
A "pathing issue" results when the main .swf cannot find one or more of the associated Flash files...like an xml file or images.
It can be something as simple as using switching file names to all lower case. Local machine is not case sensative... most servers are. So "My Photo.JPG" is not the same as "my_photo.jpg". When naming files, best to use all lower case, no spaces in any file or folder names... use_underscore_instead.
But the most common cause is that those associated files (xml, images, etc.) are not pathed relative to the Web page where the main .swf is embedded. Pathing to the .xml and image files should be as though the .swf was located in the same folder as the Web page... NOT the actual location of the .swf file.
And that includes paths to the xml file and paths to image files coded into those xml files. Everything need to be coded relative to the Web page.

Hi
I followed an online demo on how to get an image slideshow on my webpage using flash. It was using insert media image viewer. It all worked fine, looked great in the preview but when I put everything online I can't see it. Just an empty space were it should be. This is the site where it is
http://www.idoityourself.com.au/ if tried moving the image to different areas in case it didn't like being in a folder within a folder etc but still didnt work. Any ideas??

You have not uploaded the Scripts folder to your server which DW generated automatically for you when you inserted the Flash.

Audio clip plays in browser preview but not online

Hi,
I discovered that one of my Mp3 audio clips is not playing
properly online. The thing is that it plays fine when I preview it
in the browser within the Dreamweaver CS3 program (even on other
browsers like Opera). So I don't know what could be causing it.
Here's the page and it is the second clip titled 'Have You Met Miss
Jones'.
My Audio Page
I appreciate any assistance on this.
Many Thanks, Frank B.

It played for me but...
A couple of issues you should address.
You don't have a DOCTYPE and
you have two instances of <title> and </title>

SWF plays in preview but not in browser

http://e-supplylink.com/
The SWF file works pefectly fine in the previewer but on the site the file doesnt. If the file was working properly it would be seen under the "Integration Specialists" header. Can somebody please point me in the right direction??

The code posted above is not the code used on that page:
Above shows:
<param name="movie" value="Logos.swf">
and
data="Logos.swf
while code on page has this path to the .swf:
<param name="movie" value="../raw images/flash/Logos.swf">
and
data="../raw images/flash/Logos.swf"
see the diff?
And as Martin pointed out, the path to the express install (which can install the flash pluggin) is most like wrong also. But, you really don't even need to use that. But you do need to get the path to Logos.swf right.
http://e-supplylink.com/Logos.swf
is the correct path by the way (the code you posted above...Not what's on the site).

Menu audio will play during preview but not when disc is burned.

Encore CS6.
Menu music plays fine in preview. I know that the file is good. No menu audio after disc is burned. Have tried several different transcoding options. There is menu video too that is working fine.

Here are notes I couldn't find before I posted that; just general re testing methods:
Mounting an iso (or building to a folder) is a great way to test. There are some differences, but it is a great method prior to burning to a disk. The main difference is simply computer vs dvd player - autoactivate on a button doesn't work with a mouseover, and you can be fooled into thinking your navigation does, or does not, work. (Even on the computer, don't use the mouse for testing, use the "remote" in the player controls.)
Encore preview is an emulator, like computer DVD players, that attempts to predict what will happen when a disk is played on a set top DVD player. It has always had issues with some predictions not being accurate. Some inaccuracies are like this one: Encore preview does not work, and a burned disk will. Others are the opposite; it works in Encore preview, and not in a DVD player. The point to be made here is that you cannot rely on Encore preview. You also cannot rely on computer playback of a built image or folder. And, in the end, you cannot rely on playback on one DVD player - some disks work on some players and not on others.

Flash working in preview but not in any browsers

I've created a Flash animation and inserted the SWF file (created in Flash 8) into my Dreamweaver CS2 file. It all works fine in preview (both in Flash and Dreamweaver). But on any of the browsers the public file doesn't show the flash animation.
I have a transparent layer in Dreamweaver over the SWF file so that I could put hotspots which are working.
Here is the link to the website: http://www.manfredsbikerepair.com/ (click Enter).
I've updated AC_RunActiveContent and downloaded a trial FlashCS5 but still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

According to page's source code you are trying to use the AC_RunActiveContent.js file via your local drive. You'll need to place that on the server and link to it properly.

Flash videos play in preview, but not live website...

I have embedded .FLV video files into my website. The videos play in my preview browser with no problems. When I upload them to my live site, and try to view them on the web, there is just a white space where they are supposed to be, and they do not play. The url of the webpage with the video is :

I have searched for all kinds of answers and solutions, tried tons of different things, and I cannot seem to fix this. I am so frustrated, please help!! Thanks.

Hi,
may I show you how I did it? (Translated from my German DW):

I clicked all the boxes

FLV files plays in preview, but not showing up on my LMS

I have imported a single .flv file into Captivate 4, which was created in Flash 8. It shows in preview mode, as well as when I preview in IE browser, but when I launch from my LMS, I get nothing on the page. I can embed an .swf video file that was published out in Flash 8, and when I embed that into Captivate 4, it plays fine in preview mode and in my LMS. I have tried using different settings in Flash to render out the same video and nothing has worked. Any thoughts?

Jp,
Thanks for the info. I did check with Tech Support from the LMS, and they assured me that the LMS does support .flv files. However, our online modules are launched from a webserver separate from the LMS, and that server needed to have the proper MIME type configured. By default, Windows 2003 Server does not have an associated MIME type to support deploying FLVs.
Specifically, it needed to be set up to recognize .flv files with the correct file association and content type specified. That took care of it.
Thanks,

Movie plays in preview but not playing in chm

I've tried several different methods of adding flash video
files to a HTML Help project.
I've added the files to the Baggage Files and the Multimedia
folder (at least I think they're in the Multimedia folder!!).
When I preview the help page in RH, the movie plays as
expected. But, after compiling the help, the page looks blank and
the movie does not play.
Any suggestions?

The applet starts and plays fine when previewing from within Dreamweaver. It's just when it is published o the web host server and tried to access from there in a browser that it will not start.
Is there a good way to debug the applet startup?
These files were provided to us from a vendor on a CD, which plays when inserted into the PC drive.
Thanks,

Are you sure you are uploading the pages to the correct location?
Could you post a screen capture of your expanded files window, showing the remote server and local file structures?
I'm guessing they're not identical and that you may be uploading to a redundant root folder.
