Flash preloader not showing
Hi,
I have an odd problem, I've used a very basic preloader for my Flash file (CS5) it works as expected in Flash Test using the simulated download feature but when I upload everything to the remote server, the preloader doesn't show, there is a delay while the file loads then the animation plays but no sign of the preloader.
To look, go here: http://www.rotricconstructions.com.au/#construction_home click on the Clients tab then click "Click here to view project examples" a jQuery box to the left contains the Flash file a photo slideshow.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Maybe the proloader is taking much longer to load than the other stuff in the game. Maybe.

Under plugins, I get the following message:
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
However, I updated to the version Firefox suggested. Flash does not show as a plugin. Plus, after updating, I continue to receive the message:
Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.

What is wrong?The plugin check page only recognizes some common plugins that play media on web pages and not plugins added by security software like McAfee. So no need to worry about that. Just make sure that you keep all your software up to date, especially software that deals with internet access and security software (anti-virus software, firewall).

I am new, but to the extent that I have a full flash site
that works great. I cannot get any preloaders to work. Lets be
honest, I cannot even begin. Everyone assumes an expert, even the
'simple flash preloader' sites.
Why not just use the component in Flash CS3? Why can't Adobe
help with this instead of sending me to google to get preloader
ideas? Why is the WMODE=transparent command not recommended if you
want transparency (as a supposive fix to the white box)? Preloaders
are not simple for non-developers.
Simply, I have a background.jpg in an HTML document. I load a
flash in a table on top. It shows white in the table before the
flash loads. Adobe's answer is to use a preloader. OK. Great. I
found several, all of which insert so many variables that I can't
tell what is really a variable or not. I have no desire to become a
preloader retailer....OK? I just need a preloader. Explicatives
removed. I simply want to load literally "video1.swf" without
getting a white box. A progress bar would be nice. Will this be a
seperate flash (swf), or will it be inserted in the timeline as
seperate layers in the timeline to play before the original frames?
Must I combine my original video1 file into a movie symbol, then
manipulate it in another timeline with a preloader?
Please do not assume ANYTHING. I need to get this done once
and for all.
Please, just make it simple. Attached is some code I found.
Can it be edited to work with the "ProgressBar" in CS3? If there is
an option, a seperate swf would be better as I have several pages
that are setup the exact same way.
Thank you.Seeing white is nothing to do with a preloader - set the bg
of your movie to
other than white. If you're using something like SWFObject to
embed your
Flash in the HTML, make sure it's not set to a white bg also.
Aside from that a preloader is not too difficult to build -
and the code you
gave as a sample is bad code, which is likely the source of
your problems. I
don't have Flash 9 yet, but in 8 you would want to use the
MovieClipLoader
class to load in your swf. It has an onLoadProgress method
that you can make
use of to build a progress bar.

Fullscreen Flash movie not showing up on Mac
My flash movie is set to 100% width and height and it is
working fine on my PC on IE 6,7, FF 2, Safari 3, and Opera, but on
my Mac, the movie will not show up unless I change the 100% values
to actual height and width values. Does anyone have any thoughts
here?

Flash CS6 not showing in FCP 7.03
I recently upgraded (well, for me it was an upgrade) to an older Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
I have installed FCP 7.03 (and in a seperate folder the hated FCP X)
I also have Adobe Creative Suite CS6 installed.
On my previous MacBook Pro I could export from a video sequence as a Flash Movie (.FLV). I could do this using one of the options in "Export Using QuickTime Conversion" On that machine I was running Flash CS4.
For some reason the Flash export option is not showing now. Flash is properly installed and opens just fine.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
A.S."Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?"
Probably nothing. FCP 7 was last updated in 2010; Flash CS6 was released in 2012. Incompatibility is to be expected.
There may be a conversion program, but it's most likely you'll find it on Adobe's Flash forum.
Good luck -
Flash menu not showing up in IE, but other flash is
I downloaded a menu from f-source.com (
http://f-source.com/buy/adobeMenu/
to be specific) and finished my site up. it works fine in mozilla
platforms but does not show up at all in IE - i have a feeling it
is the dreamweaver 8/IE bug but don't know how to fix it other than
deactivate the active X thing under coding prefs, which i already
did.
please view for yourself.
coh.flowerdust.net
the menu is flash-based but uses html for customization thru
dreamweaver.
thanks!!!!figured it out..well, not really..but recoded it and
it works now. :) -

Yea, delete that extra semicolon on line...wait a
minute...that can't
be your site! Rats! I just got my crystal ball back from the

it's about 180 degrees out of phase!
Guess we'll have to do it the old way. Please provide a link

Flash player not showing up in start menue?
installed version 11 7 700 202 on new computer running windows 7 and internet explorer. Installations said complete, but the program does not show up in the start menue and does not activate when trying to view videos, sometimes getting the message that I do not have flashplayer plugin downloaded? On the adobe help site the find version help tool displays that "flash player is running on your system" by showing the movie of that text and a red ball. So what the heck is going on. I have restarted the computer a couple time too?
Flash Player is only a browser add-on, not an executable program, so it won't appear in the Start menu.
Regarding Internet Explorer, a couple of possibilities

Flash Controls Not Showing On Web Page
Hi-
Been beating my head lately using Flash Pro 8 and DW 8.02.
Here is the latest difficulty:
Created a Flash video file in Premiere Elements 4
Imported the .flv Flash video file into Flash 8 using import
video
Added an external skin to the video
Saved Flash .fla file
Exported movie in .swf format
I can open the .swf file in Flash Player 8 and it works fine.
I can also use the Publish setting in Flash to export the necessary
files as well as the HTML file. When viewed in either Firefox or IE
it plays correctly and the player controls are present. However, if
I create a new page in DW8 and then Insert > Media > Flash,
point it to the .swf file and then view it in Firefox or IE I can
only see the .flv Flash video file and none of the controls/skin
that should be there. I know the controls/skin are actually present
because I can browse directly to the .swf file and it displays
works properly. I can also use the publish settings from Flash to
create the HTML page and it works correctly as well. It is only
when the page is generated by DW8 that I get this problem. I have
looked at the code created by DW8 and cannot find any reference to
the .swf file for the movie controls/skin. Any idea why DW8 would
only be placing the Flash video .flv file on the page and not
writing the code to place the entire Flash movie .swf on the page?
I have tried restarting/rebooting, created a new "clean" test page
with only the Flash movie on it and it is always the same. The
other thing that is weird is I did not select Autoplay or Loop in
the DW8 settings nor in Flash 8, yet when I preview the page
created by DW8 in a browser, piece of the Flash movie I can see
(the Flash video part) autoplays and loops!
Again, any help is appreciated.
-=SBUpdate- This is what I have discovered while playing around
with the page and Flash file:
If I create the .swf files for the movie and skin and then
save them to the same directory as the .Flash video file and then
view the .swf file everything works fine.
If I then create a web page using DW8 and insert the Flash
into the page and save the web page to the exact same directory as
all the other files and then view the web page in a browser, it
works fine. However, if I create a new web page in DW8, save it to
any other directory other than the one where the .swf and .flv
files are located and then view the page in a browser only the .flv
Flash video portion of the movie will display in the browser--the
controls are missing. However, if I browse directly to the .swf
file and avoid going through the DW8 generated web page the Flash
movie displays properly with the controls in the correct location.
My question then is why will DW8 not show the Flash movie with
controls if the page is located in higher level directory than the
.swf and .flv files and yet browsing directly to the .swf file with
my browser works just fine? I have checked the path to the .swf
file in the DW8 source code and it is pointing to the correct
directory location. This is so strange--why will it display one way
and not the other? Any ideas? -

Flash Button not showing on php page
Hi Folks,
Hopefully this is a simple problem. I've added a Flash Button
via the Insert Media -> Flash Button in DW8. Unfortunately the
button does not show up when the php page is loaded up to the
server. And yes, I did make sure to upload the button file. When I
look at the source code from the server, the flash part looks a
little different compared to how it normally looks on a .htm page.
Here's what the 'view source' in the browser shows:David,

I have used DW 8 for a while and after I downloaded the
newest update of dreamweaver my flash elements will not show up in
a web browser. I have a few buttons and a flash movie. They show up
like they should in design mode, but when I go to preview them in
by pushing F12 they will not show up. They also won't show up when
i upload them to my web host.> It didn't do this on a previous website though
That's because Microsoft hadn't patched IE at that time. Go
back to that
site now in IE6 and you'll see that you have to click twice
on the Flash to
use it. DW8.0.2 fixes that....
> where to and how
Select it in the local site, and PUT it. DW will take care of
the rest.

I apologize if this is a repeated question, but I am so
frustrated. I was working on an existing website, that was working
fine until I made a few updates. The updates were made after I
downloaded and installed the dreamweaver 8.2 update. That's the
only variation that I can think of. I was simply adding 2 new flash
elements to the page. One is a slideshow. On one of the pages, the
buttons were not even showing (which I also embedded with
dreamweaver, I created them in flash). This site has been up for 6
months and I have never had a problem making changes for the
client. I can see the changes when I preview them locally, but when
the pages are uploaded, the swf's are not showing on the page. If
anyone can help, I would be forever greatful.

When you insert Flash into a page using DW 8.2 it now creates
a
'scripts' file in your local site folder. You have to upload
that
'scripts' folder to your server, otherwise the Flash will not
work. -
Flash buttons not showing/hiding layers in Firefox
Before anyone says to use the search tool, I did that, even googled the problem and no suggestions have yet to work. here is the page http://www.preziosidevelopment.com/dchs/dchs.html it works flawlessly in internet explorer, but fails to work at all in firefox. All the buttons being nested inside table cells is another byproduct of having to design for firefox, if there is a better way of setting those up so they display properly in firefox feel free to let me know. I'm a designer not a coder, so please keep that in mind. Just to clarify, the only problem I am currently having is the first two buttons are not showing/hiding my layers in firefox as they do in internet explorer. Thanks for any help.
Richard PreziosiI'm a designer not a coder, so please keep that in mind.
Here's a sincere suggestion. Do not use Flash buttons for anything. Really. People who don't have Flash will not see the buttons or be able to trigger anything. Search engines will not see any links that may be embedded in those buttons nor will assistive screen devices. As a result of these as well as other maintenance problems that would affect *you* when you try to maintain them, Adobe has removed them entirely from CS4 (and I say good riddance). Is it possible for you to rethink this entire approach using CSS styled text or ordinary graphic buttons?
