Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You're not using the full URL to the file.
You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
"http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

SWF file not playing in flash player

Hello All
I am working on this project for a client, suddenly no-one can get the SWF file to play.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByWDl-PaRWIFY0c1SnEwbUNraUE&usp=sharing
The file is there.
If anyone can help please do.
I know this file works. It must be an update or something?
Please Please Help

If you've lost the source to your SWF files, there are a number of SWF decompilers available. You may be able to decompile the SWF and then recompile the project using a current compiler. It's worth a shot anyway.
A cursory Google search turned up a few candidates (free and paid), but I don't have much experience with any of them.

Flash .swf file not appearing in browser when publishing from iWeb 3.02

I have been working on a site for the last couple of months that i created in iWeb 2.0 and had successfully had small flash movies that I embedded via html snippets from code provided by numerous sources and youtube videos demonstrating how to get flash movies into one's site.
The url is
www.almafoods.com
Today i upgraded to 3.02 and had to make a change to the home page. The domain opened up fine with all the HTML code and .swf on the page exactly as I had it in version 2.0
When I now publish to a folder, first of all it doesn't copy over the .swf file unless I create a link to the file, but even when I upload all the directories to my ISP's remote server, the movie isn't not showing up in the browser. The html code file and .swf file are in their correct directories on my ISP's remote server
I'm baffled as to what is going on here as its the exact same domain that worked perfectly in 2.0 and this has peed me off no end
Does anyone have any suggestions or encountered the same problem in 3.02?
Any advice would be very much appreciated

Your .swf files are in the same folder as the widget-markup files.
Keep your custom files OUTSIDE the folder with the sitename iWeb creates.
iWeb will overwrite everything when it needs to do that, wiping out your custom files.
Put the files in a separate folder and determine the link to these files.

Besides that, to display these tiny pictures I wouldn't use Flash.

Swf file not playing in browser

I have a problem with a swf file which will not play in web browser.
It played fine until I updated my site. I therefore suspected a pathing issue within dreamweaver and looked thorugh that forum for an answer.
I tried typing the absolute path to the swf file in the browser address bar and found it straight away. When I clicked on it the screen stayed blank.
I checked the path to the file and the flv file was relative to the document and not the site.
swf plays fine in flash player, flash, and locally on dreamweaver.
I moved the swf up the file tree and changed the links accordingly but still would not play.
I also tried saving it as a new swf from flash, but that doesn't play either.
I added another swf to the containing folder and that played fine in the browser.
When I open the fla file in flash it only shows a flv playback movie, not the elements, I think this is because it was created in after effects.
Here is the link to the containing folder, the swf file is Home_page_movie_V2.swf
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01 Home
I have other swf files playing fine and this swf played ok originally so I still think it's a pathing problem but I am not that savvy on flash and cannot figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, just bear in mind my low level of ability.
Thanks
Stuart

The .swf is loading just fine... but it is expecting to load a .flv video file.
The path inside the .swf to the .flv file is not correct. The path inside the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the .swf as it's located on the Web page, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
Here is the absolute address of the .flv:
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01%20Home/Home%20V1.flv
Here is a test player using that address:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/flash/cidm_simple_vid_player.html
So unless your .swf is broken, it just a pathing issue.
From an old post:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Why does the audio in my .SWF file not play in a Browser?

I created an .swf file using ffmpeg, containing H.264 video and MP3 audio. The file plays perfectly in VLC but not in a Browser (Chrome/IE). I tried analyzing the file using a trial version of Flash decompiler. Again, only the video plays. The strange thing is that if I extract the MP3 from the file, it plays perfectly using any of th eplayers. It seems to be a muxing issue which VLC apparently handles, but not the player in the browser! Why? Thanks for any pointers.

Yeah. Sorry to say this but many people buy the various brands of format converters, which are everywhere on the Web and which also spam these boards – and often find they are not only out the purchase price but that the app created as many problems as it solved.

Can't get my embedded swf files to play in HTML file

Hi there,
I'm just wondering why my swf files won't play when I upload them along with my HTML file to the server.
The problem can be seen at the following URL:
http://marthalodge.com/productDev.html
I inserted the swf in 'insert media' - 'shockwave' and the thing works when I press play to view it within dreamweaver. However, when I try to view it on a browser, either locally or remotely, it doesn't work.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this might be happening?
Thanks,
M

Hi,
I did what you suggested and again, nothing shows. You can see what I did at:
http://marthalodge.com/ProdDev.html
Do you have any idea why this is happening? I don't get any error report when I publish my swf from Flash.

How can I have a Flash SWF file to load a HTML page?

I'm looking for a way to have Flash (CS5) to load and display a very simple HTML web page. Basically, the SWF file would be a standalone document sent by e-mail (or people would post on their web pages), and this SWF would display the content of another web page (consisting mostly in a live video on a black background)
How can I have Flash CS5 to do that??
Thank you!
-sv

Yeah maybe I wasn't clear enough... Here's the big picture.
I run a live TV station, broadcasting 24/7 on the web via a Flash application (a projector basically). The video feed is streaming on my site, as well as on numerous web sites across the net. A Flash projector is also available as a standalone application, people download and use it to watch the movies without opening a web page.
I am currently changing the broadcast method, from Flash stream to HTTP stream. But since my TV is already posted and linked in many places, I want to change the Flash object on my server with a new one, that has a HTTP stream instead of the Flash stream. It seems that HTTP stream cannot be embedded in a SWF, but it can be displayed on a HTML web page. The solution I came up with is to have a HTML page to load in the Flash player. All I would need to do is to have that HTML page to display the HTTP stream.
So from there, most of my audience would not need to change anything to watch my streaming TV, while those who downloaded the old Flash projector would need to download a new one.

External .swf files not playing, or showing up

Hello All,
I'm a bit confused. I have created a video interface (vidPlayer.swf) file, and am calling on external .swf's (movieName.swf), which contain paths to the original .flv files (movieName.flv) that are to play. The navigation lives on the the main interface file (vidPlayer.swf). This works fine when I'm publishing locally from my system, or if I upload it to a remote server, and play it on my computer. When another individual attempts to either (a.) play it from the server on their system, or (b.) publish it to the web for it's intended use, the interface appears and the loader performs when video track is selected, but the video never plays. Only on my system does it work. Even from a remote server, it plays on my system.
I have not wrapped my head completely around AS3 yet, so I'm using deprecated script. On the main interface swf (vidPlayer.swf) I have the following script controlling the loader ( I also use this same loading script for the external video swf's):
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);
function preloader(){
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()){
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);}
loadBar_mc._xscale = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal())*100;
loader_txt.text=Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100)+"%";
On the navigation buttons (tracks), I have the following script (there are 14 tracks total, so the content varies between load and unload content):
on (release){
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("02-systemAdministration.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("03-gatewaySetUp.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("04-homePage.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("05-addUser.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("06-changePasswordOrPermission.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("07-inventorySetUp.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("08-storageContainer.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("09-addDeicingOperator.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("10-orderCryotechProducts.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("11-recordDelivery.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("12-adjustInventory.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("13-deicingLog.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("14-PTOCClog.swf");
_root.gotoAndStop(11);
mc_videoPlayer.loadMovie("01-firstLogin.swf");
I have all the .swf's (movieName.swf), .flv's (movieName.flv) and main interface .swf (vidPlayer.swf) in the same folder, so there shouldn't be any missing directory paths.
I don't know what's going on! I have this set up exactly as a previouse project, using the same interface, scripting and file directory, and it words perfectly from any system, being hosted from anywhere.
Can anyone help????

*swf file not playing whilst it had in the past, what is wrong?

I used several *swf files on my site that always worked well. All the sudden they don't. Updated FireFox to version 4, they still don't work. Flash PlugIn is fine, flash plays in everything BUT FireFox.
You may have a look at www.DiveLux.lu then choose Gallery and in the frame one of the swf files. It doesn't work for me or my friends. None of us changed anything (site didn't change either) but it doesn't work anymore.
Anything I can do?
Best regards,
Nepu

Flash swf file not loading on webpage

Hi there,
I have put an swf onto my web page and everything works fine when i test it in my browser through dreamweaver.
When i go online to my website: http://www.organicgrowshop.co.uk/ it doesn't load
I have uploaded the two script files to my webhost. I have the latest version of flash on my comp. I can get an FLV file to load ok in its place.
What am i doing wrong??
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

Hi there,
Thanks very much for taking the time to help me!
Sorry, i have been messing around trying to get different things to work with no luck.
I did have the script files and the swf uploaded directly to my root folder, this didnt work so i tried making a scripts subfolder in my root folder to put the scripts in. This hasnt worked either.
The files are definitely in my root folder. Can you take a look again for me?
I dont understand why i can get it to work with an FLV file but not with the SWF file?
Thanks again,
Matt

SWF File not working after upload to server, but works on local system

HELP PLEASE.....I have created a Fla and exported a swf file
from Flash 8 and Export (Flash 6). I can preview the page in
Dreamweaver just fine, but when i upload it and the html file, it
isn't showing up. It leaves a blank spot on the page. It is just a
simple banner with graphic clips and motion tween text, with image
bgd. All images are jpg.
I have tried:
1. Using a full link to the swf file.
2. Removed drop-shodows in swf file
3. convert to Flash mx 2004 file
4. Exported to higher Flash version to see if the flash
player was an issue.
5. Exported with no dashes in name
6. Added Scr file into Dreamweaver
7. Made a new test file to see if it was something in the
current html doc, same result.
8. Tried viewing on a pc, same result. Created on mac.
Here is the test page if anyone wants to take a look.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
Test
Page Link

The link you provided is to the SWF file, not to an HTML
file, so no one can test your HTML file.
Have you checked the code for the embedding of the SWF file
in your HTML file? I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I do know that
if you start assembling a Dreamweaver file without first saving the
HTML, embedded graphics and other items are inserted as direct
links to the files on your computer, rather than as relative paths.
There is one other possible issue: I note that your swf is
called CWABanner.swf. Depending on your FTP settings, it is
possible that your server is forcing all file names to lower case
(a common practice). Which means the file on your server will be
cwabanner.swf. Again, depending on how the web server is set up, if
it is case sensitive, it will treat CWABanner and cwabanner as
separate files. So if the HTML calls CWABanner.swf, but the FTP
upload has forced a rename to lower case to cwabanner.swf, the HTML
file will not find it. Check this out, or to be absolutely certain,
rename everything to lower case: the file name itself and the
reference in the HTML file.

Alas I don't see that option — having said that I looked at mime types and legacy encoders and nada, but oddly when I went to check the QT version (7.6 by the way) in the "About Quicktime" (accessed via the *System Preferences*) it cycles thru various codecs and "Macromedia Flash Player" is one of them... guess it doesn't access anymore. :o(
