Flash Video doesn't show progress or load bar

I need to show a progress download bar and loading stripes
when stalling/loading (eg like youtube and millions of other online
video) otherwise the user thinks the video isn't loading or
playing.
I've tried two things:
1. Creating the flv using Flash Video Encoder results in a
40MB flv. I then insert the flv into my page in dreamweaver. The dw
tools pop up and I choose progressive download and my skin etc. The
resulting page plays the video fine but there's no progress bar or
loading stripes when the video is loading/stalling.
2. Inserting the video into a flash file and creating a swf
which is then inserted into the html page - as per the instructions
by media247 on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=189&threadid =1332318
- no luck doing that either, it shows the player controls with a
blank video screen until the video is buffered, then plays the
video and it stalls/loads with no stripes or load progress
indicator bar. (Same as above, really, but with a different skin
selection)
I've tried heaps of different skins and settings in the
encoder and flash importer thing but it just doesn't work - I've
had this same problem before and searched the net without joy. Can
someone tell me what might be wrong? Is there a simple setting in
the importer somewhere??
Thanks for your help

Imported video doesn´t show up

Hello people, I am a Flash beginner user
I am trying to import a .flv video to my flash website
I do it by choosing the "Progressive download from a webserver" option
In the .swf file generated, the video runs normally , but when I run my website trough the index.html file and I go
to the page where It is supposed to be, the video doesn´t show up, as if it never existed
I don´t know what may be hapenning.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards
rnucci

Hello.
I haven´t uploaded the website to the server yet,
the video doens´t show up even when I run the index.htm file form my desktop !
I ask myself if it might be a problem of layer order or something.
If you wanna take a look at the website is this one:

Flash Player Doesn't Show Or Work

The Flash Player doesn't show or work in either MySpace or
YouTube. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but no use.
It worked fine the other day. How can this be resolved?

Use the offline installers from helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars _header until the issue is fixed.

I can't watch movies, it is asking for latest adobe flash. After updating adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

I can't watch movies , asking for adobe flash. After installing the latest adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

The other day, there was someone here who figured after quite a while that he had plug-ins disabled in Safari. He could have installed Flash a hundred times but never get it to work.
Of course, you do have plug-ins enabled. Yes? Quick double-check? Safari -> Preferences -> Security tab -> checkmark at "Enable plug-ins"...

Youtube videos doesn't play until fully loaded

Youtube videos doesn't play until they are fully loaded. It doesn't work for ANY streamed video, not just Youtube. It happens on both Firefox and IE. I tried to uninstall Flash and re-install it, but it didn't help. The only thing that solves it is restarting the computer, but it just returns after some time.
How can I fix it?

Hi, This is the info on the hardware acceleration and system requirements. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
The video card affects playback:Although Flash Player can display high-quality video and images by itself, hardware-accelerated scaling uses the video or graphics card on your computer to display images and video more clearly and quickly than Flash Player can on its own.
Not everyone can use it and that's why turning it off helps. Since you have it turned off, then this no longer affects you.
They may be some add on in the browser that is causing this. Kaspersky had been using a URL Advisor that is an "extension"
but whether you have it I don't know. In IE, in the manage add ons, look for "Show"(very light text) and look in all 4 categories for it.
In FF, it may be in the extensions. I'd look in all, addons, plugins & extenstions.
If you find it, disable it. If you don't find it, then all I could suggest is to disable all IE add ons except Shockwave Flash Object and Java and see it there is an improvement. Then do the same with FF.
Hope you find out what is causing it.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash Video doesn't work when burned to CD?

I'm using Flash 8.0 pro. I've exported a video as swf and
html and it plays fine from my desktop but the video doesn't load
when burned to a cd-r. If I click on the swf file I get nothing.
I've included the source of the html page.
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

<title>video</title>

And you are sure that BOTH the HTML and SWF file are on the
CD?
I took your source and a dummy SWF (which I named
"video.swf"), put them on a CD and it works fine for me.
When you double-click on the HTML file on the CD, what does
the URL bar say specifically?
If you "hover" your mouse over where you think Flash should
be, do you see anything, like a tooltip saying "Click to activate
and use this control"?

XML shows in Flash, but doesn't show on server?

Hello.
I have a Flash website with 5 sections (Featured Work, News, About Me, Services, Contact). All the sections works fine, both in Flash and on the server, if the content isn't loaded from XML. But in the News section i use XML for loading the news.
If i test my movie in flash, the whole site works fine, and the XML News works perfect. But if i test the movie in a virtual server (like MAMP) or if i test it on my own server, the news section doesn't show.
I can't seem to find the problem?
Jonas Philippon

I'm sorry to sound so stupid, but this is new to me.
I tried pasting the trace(MT2.newsNum,Number(MT2.newsNum)) in both out and in the for loop, and i still get the same trace "5 5"
I'm not really sure what to do, so i'll just try explaining my whole site to you:
I have my "main.fla" with three layers with actionsscript:
- Navigation Actions
     - Has a for loop that creates 6 textfields with clickevents and SWFAddress that changes between 6 frames in a MovieClip (SubNavBar).
- Positioning Actions
     - Positions the textfield buttons, the navigation bar, and the sub navigation bar in the SubNavBar movieclip, and places my dynamic background.
- XML
     - I can't explain the XML layer, so i have attached it.
The SubNavBar MovieClip has 6 frames. The 1 is empty, so the site is clear at first. In frame 2, 4 and 6 there is a for loop like in the navigation layer, so these layers have a sub navigation bar, that once again changes between some frames in a movieclip.
In frame 3 their is the news code i pasted earlier, and in frame 5 there isn't anything yes, but it should just be graphics.
XML LAYER:
// XML LISTS //
// ========= //
var newsTitle:XMLList;
var newsInfo:XMLList;
var newsContent:XMLList;
var newsTitleArray:Array;
var newsInfoArray:Array;
var newsContentArray:Array;
// NUMBER OF ITEMS
var newsNum:Number;
// LOAD XML //
// ======== //
var xml:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(this,"data.xml");
// function called when XML is loaded
function getXML(xmlData:XML):void {
// STORING RELEVANT DATA INTO LISTS FOR LATER ACCESS //
newsTitle = xmlData.news.article.title;
newsInfo = xmlData.news.article.info;
newsContent = xmlData.news.article.content;
newsNum = newsTitle.length();
    newsTitleArray = xmlData.news.article.title.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsTitleArray.reverse();
newsInfoArray = xmlData.news.article.info.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsInfoArray.reverse();
newsContentArray = xmlData.news.article.content.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsContentArray.reverse();
In the folder i have uploaded to my server, i have following:
- AC_RunActiveContent.js - Background.png (main background) - com (folder) (GreenSock) - data.xml - index.html - js (folder) (SWFAddress) - mailer.php (Contact Form) - main.fla - main.swf - media (folder) (Pictures For Background) - Mosaic.swf (Mosaic Overlay For Background) - P-Logo.png - preview.swf (Background) - SWFAddress.as - SWFAddressEvent.as - textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz - xml (folder) (xml config for background) (SEPERATE FLA FILE (NOT A PROBLEM) - XMLLoader.as
The XMLLoader.as is the file that loads my data.xml. The data.xml has the text to my news section.
XMLLoader.as:
package {
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class XMLLoader extends Sprite {
private var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
public var loadedXML:XML;
// accept parent path to xml
public function XMLLoader(mT:MovieClip, path:String):void {
// LOADING XML //
// =========== //
loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError, false, 0, true);
function onComplete(evt:Event):void {
loadedXML = new XML(evt.target.data);
loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
// Run getXML function from where this clas was instantiated
mT.getXML(loadedXML);
function onIOError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("Error: " + evt.text);
I hope this helps you? I hope you now can give me more specific help?

After downloading adobe flash it doesn't show up on my computer!

I keep downloading flash and it says it has been downloaded succesfully but when I go to find it on my computer it doesn't show up anywhere. I'm trying to watch videos and cant because it says I need to download flash but for some reason it isn't working. My computer runs on windows 7.

I have to say i'm super frustrated with this as well. I flushed the computer clean so once reloading a bunch of stuff back on the computer adobe flash player was one of the things I had to put back on. The reader went on fine saved to my desktop ok. The flash player is far from as simple to get on there as you'd think. At least not smoothly. I use windows 7 (Interet explorer 9) and avast. It "says" it installs sucessfully yet the only place I can find it when it was SUPPOSED to be saved to the desktop is in the uninstall programs list. I think its installed on my computer now after checking a bunch of forums and trying different things (diasabling this and that) to try to figure out whats going on. It shows up on this page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html .... Anyways I spent wayyyyyyyyyy too much time on something that should and use to be so simple. Clearly im not the only one having this problem. I think something needs to be done for people to be able to download this with less hassle and headaches. avast+IE9+Windows 7+trying to download adobe flash =

Flash Video Doesn't Work

I’m having serious problems inserting Flash Video into
my site (and I have uploaded the script folder and file).
Background:
I’m fairly experienced with most software, but I am
totally new to web creation/web software. Code is above my head.
I created a family site using DW8 version 8.0.2. I took an
original WMV file and converted it to a FLV file using Adobe
Premiere Elements 3.0. I’ve done this step using both the
Sorenson Spark and the On2 VP6 codecs.
With my newly created FLV file (grandparents.flv), I inserted
it into my DW8 page using >Insert>Media>Flash Video. It
drops in and previews fine locally using the Preview function. This
process also creates the following files in my local directory: a
skin file (Clear_Skin_3.swf), a player file
(FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf), and a Scripts folder containing one
file (AC_RunActiveContent.js).
I upload all these files to the server and, while the flash
video works fine locally, it just shows up as a white box on the
web.
I’ve spent the better part of three days researching
this problem and see that it is common. That said, uploading the
Scripts folder/file as I have done does not solve the problem for
me as it appears to have done so for others.
As an aside, I can drop in the original WMV file into an
embedded Windows Media Player on my web site and that works fine.
That said, I don’t want to do it that way, I want to go with
Flash.
Anyone have any ideas.
The page in question is at:
http://www.strauss.com/Lauren.html.
Any help would be appreciated….I’m at my wits
end. Thanks.

You have multiple instances of CSS and js links in the head
of the page.
Please remove the redundant ones.
Your flash is not working because this file -
http://www.strauss.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
is not properly calling the FLV file from the server. By
browsing directly
to it, you will see that you only get a blank page.

Video Doesn't Show While Capturing in PrCS4

Hi,
I was capturing my video into PrCS4 just fine last night and then when I switched tapes, my video didn't show anymore in the capture window. It plays on my camcorder and in the capture window I can press play/stop/etc. and the counter on the left is counting the time just fine. I also took the tape to work this morning where I have a SonyDVCam deck, but that gives me another issue where Pr recognizes it, but when I hit play on the deck it sounds like it's playing, but nothing appears on the capture screen and the counter doesn't even move. My camcorder is a Canon HV30, using Sony MiniDV tape, shot in DV widescreen. I tried turning off the camera and turning it back on, opening and closing the capture window (cause that seemed to work earlier in the evening), and restarting Premiere and the computer as well. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Jen

Set your camera to DV, not HDV. Preview will show. Or try Scenalyzer, much better for DV. If you have HDV there is no preview nor scenedetection during capture, as explained in the help file and manual. Try HDVSplit for HDV material, again much better than Adobe. Preview and scendetection are available with this application for free.

Flash plugin doesn't show the content, I wonder why.

when there is a page using text in a Flash part the plugin doesn't show it. For example the Page has some texts in a flash extension but I can't see the text at all.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Flash CS3 doesn't show some fonts.

Some fonts that I'm trying to use in Flash CS3 aren't showing
up. Specifically, these fonts are Peter Saville's New Order line of
different typefaces. Font Book only shows errors for one of the
fonts (N.O.– Movement). This is the specific font I want to
use in CS3, but there are other N.O. fonts that I could substitute
with, if I could get Flash CS3 to recognize them.
Does Flash inspect fonts in loading to determine their
usability? If someone has a solution, I'd really like to hear it.
Thank you.

I asked about this once. Some newsgroup user told me the
fonts wouldn't display within flash because the font package did
not include font outlines.
Hope this helps,
Joe

Flash videos not working, show green screen

In all of my browsers (firefox latest version, chrome latest version, IE 8) flash videos on sites like Youtube and others will play audio but will only display a green screen (no video). I have updated flash "successfully" several times.
Also, I have tried uninstalling flash player several times but it never actually uninstalls, despite saying that the uninstall was successful. I have tried uninstalling on a clean reboot, with no programs running. What do I do?
EDIT: More info: On the adobe.com/software/flash/about page the flash video plays and the little box says "You have version 10,1,82,76 installed" so flash is definitely still installed. I also tried rebooting multiple times between uninstalls.

Hi, glad you solved your own problem On the Uninstalling, removing it from add/remove or control panel/programs & features doesn't do it. In your case, glad it didn't since you ran the test, and Flash Player is working fine now(without the h.a)
If you ever need to Uninstall Flash Player, be sure to use the latest Uninstaller from Adobe since it changes each time a Flash Player Update is released.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
You can always find the latest Uninstaller just be looking at a few threads here on the forum.

Flash Videos won't play, or continuously load forever.

I've seen so many questions about this over the internet asked many different ways and has been offered many different solutions that I've tried, but never can seem to find a solution!
The problem is with flash videos not working in Firefox. The problem was originally isolated to just FF, but has now become universal to my other browsers (Explorer and Chrome).
I can view videos on YouTube and various other sites just fine, however, other websites for school that require you to watch a video and respond to questions, simply load the video forever and don't play anything until the video has completely loaded, or simply play the sound but display a "frozen" thumbnail still frame.
I've done everything, ranging from updating FF and Explorer, Adobe Flash (ActiveX and the Plugin version), updated Windows 7, "reset" FF, started FF in "safe mode", uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave, uninstalled and reinstalled FF, cleaned the cache and scanned the registry.
There has been two instances where the video played, but that was short lived. The situation quickly reverted back to loading forever or playing sound only with the still frame.
The problem has been going on since maybe March 2013.
Might help to know I am running Windows 7, 64 bit, and I am fully updated on all programs and plugins.

Problem solved! I downloaded and installed Firefox 24.0 Beta. Apparently Mozilla programming team made all the right changes in the new release. Now all videos starting working on Yahoo and BBC.

Video doesn't show?

I don't know if this has already been answered but the video podcasts that I have on my iPod I can find through the Top Rated Playlist but not directly through the Videos one. Does anybody know how I can put it so it shows up when you go to Videos?

It doesn't show up under Videos-->Video Podcasts?
Does the podcast show up under Music-->Podcasts on the iPod?
Also, open iTunes and connect your iPod. Click on the iPod when it appears in iTunes under "Source." Does the video podcast have a little TV/video icon next to it in iTunes?
