Flash 'test movie' animation won't play until refresh screen.

Suddenly, the flash animation won't play until I refresh the screen, in test movie. What's gone wrong? Has worked as it should until last night. Now, when I create a new flash file, the animation doesn't play until I refresh the screen. Then it works fine. It also plays the other swfs fine.

Thanks for the fast response. I appreciate it, Meishak.
I remember saving everything. I have the file. I go to File
>> Open >> I select the file I want>> Target file
DOES OPEN... but only in preview. I popup opens up and plays the
movie. But I cannot, to the best of my understanding (student
newbie advert. major) open it to where I can edit timeline and
stage and whatnot. I used to be able to. It is saved. It does open.
But just not to be altered... is the best way I could describe it.
I am assuming that maybe there is some type of "open as..." setting
somewhere and it just have it on "always open as preview."
I don't know... I have googled every troubleshot wordphase
under the sun and nothing. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Issue playing scenes in test movie animations stop playing

I'm fairly new to adobe flash so I hope I use the right terms when asking this question. I am using AS2 in CS5.5.
I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes.
During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point.
At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that
continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's just
These new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline. Can anyone help me figure this out please?

you're welcome.
to remedy, remove one or more scenes from your original fla by shift-clicking all the frames/layers in a scene and pasting into a new fla. save the new fla with a new name and publish a new swf that you can load into your original.
there's no limit to how many swfs can be loaded into your original. you might find it convenient to put each scene (after your first few) into their own fla/swf.

.MOV file won't play in QuickTime Player? QT Components?

I have a bunch of .MOV clips on my hard drive that I'd like to ultimately import to Final Cut Express (4.0.1) to edit (my wedding video!!). If I double click on the clip, it automatically opens in QuickTime Player (7.6.9), and I then prompted to a QuickTime Components website. I'm not sure why the .MOV clips won't play, since I believe I have the latest version of QT. What should I do?
Additional information on the .MOVE files: original format is MPEG HD, dimensions: 1280 x 720, Codecs: XDCAM EX 720p30 (35 Mb/s VBR) Integer (Big Endian), Timecode
Thank you for your help!

Upon further research, I found that a certain QT plug-in is required to use XDCAM EX footage in Final Cut Express, which can be found on this website:
http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
I downloaded the demo, but have no idea how to use it to convert my files so FCE will accept it. Is anyone familiar with this plug-in and what to do once it is downloaded?

After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
and the 2nd one is:
I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked. The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
On the system that has not been updated, go to:
MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders. Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location. Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal. This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up. If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.

ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC. "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include. So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play. HELP

iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC. "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include." So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play. HELP Very frustrating.

Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else! Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
Any ideas anyone?

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

CS4 Flash Test Movie won't work!

I have been working on my final project for class all week. Suddenly tonight once I have finally worked through so many bugs in transfering things into the thing, I can't get the "Test Movie" option to work to view anything. I even tried to view just the scene. It keeps making these flashes and then basically stays where it's at. Anyone have any ideas? I'm frustrated and lost!
Thanks.

No error messages are coming up anywhere! That is why I don't understand why nothing is working.

How do I fix? Flash videos like YouTube won't play sound on MAC OSX 10.5.8

Sound won't play on YouTube and other flash web based videos on my MAC OSX 10.5.8 So I installed the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player and it still doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash player. Nada. I updated my computer software and firmware. Still nothing. I checked my sound and apple movie trailers play just fine. Please assist.
Thanks so much!!!!
Oh, I have tried to play videos in both Safari and Firefox. No sound in both.

Yay!!!! My business partner @goodbadtech (on twitter) fixed it. Apple repair fixed it. Just got it back this morning. Then I updated Adobe flash as Mozilla asked me to do and the sounds disappeared again! Was so frustrated. But Spencer found this link and that saved the day :-)

Starting in the middle of an animation won't play the audio

I was creating a frame-by-frame animation in Flash Pro CC that went with an audio file I added to the project, however when I start from the middle, or anywhere besides the start, the audio won't play, but the animation will. I chatted with a customer support guy and he directed me here. Is there any way to fix this?
I'm running Windows 8 64-bit.

if that's an html5 project, no.
otherwise, assign your sound's sync property (in the properties panel) to stream, not event.

HDV4 in a .mov file won't play back using any software

Issue:
I had 4 DVDs sent to me containing a bunch of .mov files that won't play back in any of the following apps:
QuickTime 7 Pro (includes Mpeg2 codec from Apple's Web site) - sends me to Apple.com's QT plugins page
Mpeg Streamclip - loads only some on batch import, but mostly displays white and plays the audio
HandBrake - Says not a valid source
VLC Player - error says that HDV4 files cannot be played
QuickTime Player - says format isn't a format that QT recognizes
I need to get this into a format usable by FCE. I'm running the most up-to-date 10.6 Snow Leopard, and the last version of FCE. How can I do this without losing my current version of iTunes or Final Cut Express?
Vent:
As videographers gradually move to hard-drive based cameras, their ability to submit their footage becomes more and more difficult. As a result, we get DVDs, flash drives, 64 GB memory sticks, and more. It seems like each one uses a different file format, and every format is proprietary. Where is a standards committee when you need one? Where is the open-source format?

Streaming radio works in Test Movie but won't work in browser

Hi all,
I've built a simple radio interface that has only Play, Stop and volume adjuster controls.
Play button starts an online stream:
play_btn.onRelease = function () {
     stream= new Sound();
     stream.loadSound("http://radio.xyz.org:9050", true);
     stream.start(0, 50);
When I test movie inside the Flash Pro, i see that it is fully functional.
Running the swf on the local with Flash Player works perfect also.
But after uploading to server, I can hear no sound at all.
I've set "allowScriptAccess" to "always", but it didn't help: ( http://www.erkanbeyaz.com/radyo )
Briefly, the local swf works but the remote one doesn't. And I'm sure this is not a path issue.
I guess this is a flash (and/or browser) security issue and could be overcome by setting the appropriate parameters within the Publish Settings.
But how?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Best.

Hi Atul,
I have checked my bindings but the only values the method needs, is the releasecode (which is filled) and the object BUS2012 (which is also filled). The method gives back the exception 1006 responsibility_fail. I have checked the FM BAPI_PO_RELEASE and I even have made sure that the containerelement UseExceptions is marked with X (should be done by the program itself).
What I also see when I generate my testworkflow is the message Indicator "Results Parameter" missing in BOR method RELEASE, but I cannot find out what I need to do to make sure I have this Results Parameter.
Hope you can help me further!
Best regards,
Monique

Movies suddenly won't play on iMac w/ Maverics

All movies (YouTube, Vimeo, my own on internal or external drive) suddenly won't play on iMac. Just started happening 3 days ago.

They just didn't play from browsers, my own mp4's, or .mov files, iMovie wouldn't work either; but solved it today by simply re-loading OS 10.9.2. Everything works fine now.
THANKS!

MOV files won't play on Windows computers

I have a number of MOV files (shot in full 1080 resolution) that won't play on a Windows PC. When I attempt to open them I get a warning stating that Quicktime may need extra files (or plugins?) in order to play the file. When I select the link it takes me to a page with all sorts of other providers such as DivX. With that said, what is the best format to enable smooth playback on a Windows machine?

I am in the same boat. I need to view AVCHD files that were converted to .mov by iMovie on a PC.
I think it is mainly because iMovie isn't really compatible with AVCHD so it converts it to .mov.
But it is not a normal .mov!
Apple loves to help you go from PC to MAC but when you try to go back again, God help you.
I refused to pay the price for a new MacBook so bought a core i7 laptop for less than the cheapest MacBook(white)!
I am starting to believe that Apple suck!
Don't even get me started on the iPhoto and iTunes issues to change back!
