Flash's published HTML (+js) won't work in Safari?

I have created a Flash file that consists of nothing but an FLVPlayback control that loads a .flv file. I then use the default publish settings to publish the .swf. The resulting HTML file opens, displays properly, and plays the movie in IE7, FF3.0, and Chrome 2.0. However, when I open it in Safari 3.0.4, I see nothing; just a blank page. Safari has FP10 installed and has no problems displaying Flash content on any other web sites, e.g. iTunes, Apple. Adobe, or YouTube). I don't have IE8 to test on (I installed it and it hosed my whole system, so it's been eradicated).
I am loading the file locally from the file system; I want to make sure it works before I publish it. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but I don't see how it could. The AC_RunActiveContent.js script is present and getting loaded (I wish I were right now ).
Has anyone else experienced this or know what the problem might be? I am including the entirety of the HTML content it generated here for reference (I have changed the tag brackets to braces just so it will post here).

Yes, that would be helpful, I know. However, the file isn't being hosted anywhere. It will be e-mailed, I guess, as an e-vite. I just created the Flash file and published swf & html plus a jpeg as a still. Then I sent that to the marketing person...who knows less about this than I do. But for some reason, when she opens the file up in her IE browser, she is getting an older revision of the e-vite that isn't playing correctly. I suspected that she possibly only referenced the new html file and it sourced the old swf file. So when she played it in the browser, she saw the old swf file play. I've asked her to make sure she deletes any old copies and just uses the new html and swf files. Does that sound like a possible solution? I haven't heard back from her yet to see if that solved the issue.

  • Adobe Flash Won't Work With Safari

    Just today i found that something is wrong with either youtube, safari or flash player. Whenever I click a video on youtube it gives me this huge wall of text. I don't know if this has occured with anyone else before but please help! its really frustrating and I can't really find any answers online. I even tried restarting and reinstalling flash player and it still won't work. Thanks!

    I vote Flash Player.
    First uninstall Flash Player according to the instructions here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Read and follow all the instructions with care.
    If you must have Flash Player, install it from this site:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • I just loaded Yosemite on my Mac and now adobe flash won't work in Safari  8.0.4 .  Does anyone have a solution ?

    I just loaded Yosemite on my Mac and now adobe flash won't work in Safari 8.0.4 . Does anyone have a solution ?

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
    For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
    In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
              Delete All Site Data and Settings
    then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked 
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

    I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

    Seems a common problem.
    What OS are you using, Windows 8 64 bit or something? Win 8 has an embedded Flash Player on it, and I have been told here that if this is the case, installing a new version of Flash Player is not necessary, but Fire Fox needs the plug in. They came out with a Flash Player plug in for use with Fire Fox that includes a debugger, but I have not tried it yet. (see below).
    I have tried installing Flash Player 11.8.800.994  and 11.7.70.224...... and all crash. I think maybe some anti virus software needs to be disabled to allow installation, or the anti virus thinks its malware. I am also not sure if I need to also install Shockwave Flash for the whole thing to work?
    Not sure the following will help and I am about to try it because I am going round in circles, too.
    If 11.7 extended support release works for you, would you please update your success by adding a reply at the bottom of your original post, and let us know what you did that worked?
    Good luck!
    Announcement: Attention: Please read for important changes to Flash Player 10.3
    Hide Details
    Beginning July 9th, 2013 we will be updating the version of our "extended support release" from Flash Player 10.3 to Flash Player 11.7 for Mac and Windows.  To continue to stay current with all available security updates you will need to install the 11.7 extended support release or update to the most recent available release (11.8, etc.)  For full details, please see this blog post:

  • Suddenly all movies won't work in Safari

    Suddenly all quicktime or flash movies won't work in Safari. Just has the Quicktime logo with a question mark in the middle. I have the latest browser for Panther. What's the deal? It's a bit annoying seeing as I make films myself and can't test my uploads to You tube and so on. Help! Please.

    Same problem here. My extended problem is every time I re-install Flash Player, the movies work fine - UNTIL I need to exit Safari or shut down. When I bring it up again, the Question Mark is back. Also when I repair permissions the page just fills up with Flash Player Repairs. Looking for a pattern, I am now repairing permissions each time I re-install and my G4 iBook AND Intel duo does the same extensive repairs with each install. Help?

  • Since installing IOS6 autofill won't work in Safari.

    Since installing IOS6 on my Ipad3, autofill won't work in Safari.  It used to fill my name and address.  Please help!
    I've enabled Autofill, switched off Private Browsing, turned off Block Pop Ups...it was fine till I began with IOS6.

    Hi all,
    it seems that the root cause for this issue is identified:
    Unfortunately it's not a bug, but a bufix which is responsible for this changed behaviour of autocomplete function in Safari browser.
    The bugfix was introduced in iOS 6 and corrects that password input elements on HTML forms with the autocomplete attribute set to "off" were being autocompleted although they should not.
    You can check if this is also the root cause in your case by searching in the source code of the webpage with the HTML form if the autocomplete tag is present and set to "off":
    <input type="Password" name="password" ... autocomplete="off" ... >

  • Firefox won't work but Safari will???

    Firefox won't work but Safari will?
    Firefox was already loaded on my macbook pro but won't work??

    Firefox doesn't come preloaded on new Mac's.
    So you must have gotten this machine used and the person set up Firefox with a proxy amongst other "tweaks" that your not aware of, possibly even remote access to your machine.
    If this is a used machine you bought, ideally it would be best to backup any files you have to a external drive, c boot off the installer disk the other person should have given you and use Disk Utility > Erase > Zero and format the drive HFS+ Journaled. Quit and install OS X and start with a fresh machine.
    If you don't have the disk, a $29 Snow Leopard install disk is avaialble from Apple (no iLife programs, sold seperatly) which you can do the same as above.
    If you don't want to do this, then delete Firefox and it's Library > Application Support > Firefox folder and reinstall it fresh from Mozilla.
    Just reinstalling Firefox alone doesn't work, the support files need to be trashed as well.

  • FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4

    Installed, uninstalled, reinstalled flash 9. Works with Foxfire, but not with Safari 2.0.4. Tried to install flash 8 instead and it gave me the "update flash" page. Very frustrated. Please help. There is no preference file with "safari" in the name.

    threejay10,
    thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
    http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
    i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
    So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
    http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
    installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
    It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
    Cheers, TM

  • IWeb Published Quicktime Movie Won't Play in Safari. Only Quicktime Logo Shows.

    I created a movie using iMovie and, after publishing my movie, using iWeb, to my MobileMe account, I visit the site using Safari, and can only see the Quicktime logo instead of my movie. When I use Firefox to view the page I created, it shows fine. I'm all up to date on my software and OS.
    Any help you can offer me? It seems like all the Apple pieces aren't working well together.
    All my other published movies still work fine. It's just this most recently-published one that won't show correctly.

    Hello to you all.
    Translation excuse my English, I unfortunately can not do better. I have the same problem as you, I created a site for our travels in Brazil and I put videos on a page:

    Avenida jazz, Jazz avenida2 and Muritiba.
    They are compressed in H.264 .mov. Only one works well on my macbook leopard snow and air ipad ios8. The two other Jazz and Jazz2 run on iPad but not macbook. Sometimes I succeeded, but this is very rare. Can anyone tell me please what I should do or not do?
    Thank you to you.

  • FTP link in a html page isn't working in Safari 4.0.5 - any ideas?

    Hi all,
    One of my colleagues/clients has recently set up an ftp server so that customers can upload their files for printing using a username & password. I was asked to update the website I designed for them, by adding a small link at the bottom of the index page titled 'customer login', that directs customers to the server. Having done this I then found that the link doesn't work in Safari? It's fine in Firefox & IE.
    If however you hover over the link & right click with your mouse to select 'Open Link In A new Window' it works as it should. I've tried making the link load in a new window & as a pop up window using javascript, but neither works.
    I searched these discussions & found a similar post to this question from 2008, in which the response was 'Safari does not currently support links to ftp in this way'. Surely this issue has been resolved?
    Any advice appreciated - thanks.

    This is the link to the website I am referring to http://www.d-p-i.co.uk/

  • Bookmarks won't work in Safari

    I'm using Mac OS 10.7.3 on 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. I can't get bookmarks to work in Safari.  I try to bookmark things and nothing is saved in the bookmarks window.  Thanks for your help.

    Quit Safari. Disable bookmark synchronization, if applicable.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar. Copy the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
    ~/LibrarySafari/Bookmarks.plist
    Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the Finder window open. Relaunch Safari. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Test. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

  • Published HTML movie won't play

    I just published a short movie from Flash CS4 and placed the entire set of files at this URLhttp://hdtravelentertainment.com/BW1/BW%20Flash5_09/Page-1/ and when my web designer or me for that matter double clicks on the HTML file the movie doesn't play. We get a black screen and at the bottom of the frame in the progress bar there's a little green & white zebra like moving line.
    I'm pretty sure this is how I've delivered movies from CS3. I'm obviously missing something obvious here, but I haven't a clue.
    Thanks for any advice. If I double click on the HTML file on my machine that has Flash installed it works great. The .FLV file plays correctly in media player also.
    thx...jw

    In properties I went to the source and deleted everything but the actual name of the .flv file.  The error I get is:"Netstream.play.streamnotfound : Adobe Flashtried to play a live or recorded stream that does not exist.  Source can't be found"
    In my folder at this moment I just have the .flv file and my .fla file.

  • HTML Snippet won't work.

    I am creating a new site on iWeb 08. I want to have a snippet of my "Blog" page in a box on my "Home" page.
    I published the site, went online and copied the view source (HTML Code). I then went back to iWeb and pasted the HTML Code into the snippet box and applied. I can see the outline boxes from the Blog page but no other information. I called Apple and they said what I am doing should work, but it doesn't. I'm not very familiar with HTML code so Cut and Paste is the best I can do.

    Hello,
    If I understand it correctly. That is what I did with my cat's website :
    On here main page http://www.site49.eu/Taxi/Welcome.html
    you'll see on the right bottom "My latest blog entry' and an iFrame (insert HTML snippet) showing only the latest blog entry. (function scroll.to)
    Remark : it doesn't work well with Firefox.
    I'm not behind my iWeb computer right now.
    In the meantime, can you post the iFrame code you used ?

    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
