Flash video file not loading

Hi,
I'm having a problem getting some flash video files to load.
So far it's affecting 2 files located on these pages:
Martin
O'Brien movie and
John
Gormley movie
The .flv files are being hosted on amazon s3. I have done
several things so far to try to figure out why they aren't loading:
* Having the .swf file in the same folder as the web page
(doesn't work)
* Inserting a different .flv file from a different folder in
amazon s3 (doesn't work)
* Changing file permissions (doesn't work)
* Linking to the .flv file in same manner from a different
site on same ISP (video does work)
* Embedding .swf file in a html file instead of a php file
(doesn't work)
I can only guess that it's something specific to the
www.bmfconferences.com site. As I said i've tried the same .flv
file on a different site with the same ISP (it says Bruce Robinson
but it's the John Gormley video file (
John
Gormley movie on different site) and this works, but I don't
know what else to look for to get the files to work on the bmf
site.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Louise.

Hi All
I found the solution!... I had to add the MIME type .flv =
video/x-flv to my web server (Windows 2003).
Thank anyway
Rit

Flash Video Skin Not Loading in Firefox

Hello everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with a Flash
Video file. I'm helping a friend out by doing some work on his
webpage. He had a video that he wanted to put up on his news page,
so I converted the video to an flv and used the flv player
component to make a video player linked it. I uploaded the skin's
swf file, the player's swf file, and the flv to the same directory.
I made an iframe pointing to the player.swf file in the news
section of the site. I tested it in IE; it works like a charm.
Video loads, skin loads, and it plays etc... but in any version of
firefox, only the video loads and just sits there (autoplay is
off). What can the problem be? Link : (should work in IE, not
FIREFOX
Here .
Once you can recover from the reporter's amusing slack-jawed mug,
please help me out!

Actually, this occurred to me later this afternoon, but I use Gentoo, which normally builds from source (cuz I am hardcore like that). I uninstalled the normal build and reinstalled the prebuilt binary and everything works. I am happy again and just need to play around with the source build options, which I can do later.
Thanks!

Flash Videos do not load

I have the following system:
Windows 7 Professional
All up to date updates
Flash player: 11.9.900.152
I want to use google chrome as my main browser- **but let me be clear this issue also happens in the updated IE**
I have updated everything possible, cleared the cache and cookies, turned the windows firewall off, disabled the chrome built in player, disabled every pluggin, tried them one by one, turned off the pop up blocker, tried making exceptions in the pop up blocker and still nothing.
The odd youtube video will play which makes it even more mind boggling...
NFL.com and nhl.com videos do not load whatsoever.
Youtube videos do not load 98% of the time
Any ideas?? please help- losing my mind!

Yes the flash shows up on that link.
see below for a screen shot of one video that recently randomly worked.
that's another thing I don't understand is some of the ads will work as well but then when the video tries to play it says there is an error.
Nfl.com just goes straight to a grey screen if I click to watch a video

I want my flash video file NOT to load until I hit play...how can I do that?

I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying. Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play? This is the AS3 script I used...
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = true;
function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = false;
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
myVideo.play();
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hidePosterFrame);
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, showPosterFrame);
I am using Dreamweaver to put the pages together via the Insert - Media - Flash...then putting the .swf file in the page.
Thanks,
Arguilo

you can start the video and then stop it. it will continue to download (which you can monitor). when the time is right, you can enable the video's play button. before the video's ready to start, you can entertain your users.

Flash videos are not loading on the gametraielrs website. I just get an empty spot where the player is supposed to be.

Videos not loading on some sites like gametrailers.com. I updated flash reinstalled firefox and cleared all my cache. All did not work
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.gametrailers.com

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Macbook Pro Flash videos will not load on any browser?

On my macbook pro all of a sudden all flash based videos such as youtube will not load and freeze before they are loaded. IT does not work on safari, chrome, or firefox. have uninstalled and reinstalled flash. Used Disk utility. Empted cache. Any idea what is wrong? This problem just started this week. Internet connection is good.

Uninstall Flash

If that doesn't work, create a new user, log into it and see if your issues continue.

Flash videos will not load

So I have a problem loading pretty much any flash videos in
both Firefox and IE. The video will load to a certain point and
then stop, and nothing I do will get it load further, not even
refreshing the page. I have to close out of the browser and get
back to it to have any chance of watching more. On YouTube, I can
sometimes click further on to make it start loading from there, and
even that stops working eventually. It's really, really annoying,
and I'm pretty sure it's something with Flash and not Java. Anyone
else have this?

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

Captivate 6 video files not loading on share point 2013

Hello,
I use Adobe Captivate 6 and have courses that I'm loading to a share point site for learners to access. I worked off of my C: drive, then copied the published folders on a shared drive. I then linked the html URL to play the course.
When the courses were built, some simulations were recorded in video mode. I noticed that in the published folder, Captivate creates mp4 files. For some reason, when the course plays on share point, it does not play these files and the course clocks until you advance to the next slide. Everything else works fine, no issues.
I'm looking to see if anyone else has encountered this same issue and am curious what was done to fix it.
Thanks! Marissa

Thanks for the reply Ron! I checked with my share point admin and she said that share point 2013 (our version) can play mp4 files, so there shouldn't be an issue there.
She's not familiar with Captivate so it's kind of difficult getting to the root of the problem, but somewhere along the line, when the course link is accessed, Captivate is looking for that mp4 file to play it, and it cannot find the file.
I thought then maybe I would take the mp4 file in the published folder and try to embed the video directly into the course, but I haven't tried that.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks, Marissa

Flash video (.flv) not loading under HTTPS (SSL)

Hi,
We have developed a rich media eLearning simulation
application that dynamically loads separate .FLVs (animated talking
characters). The client implementation is in a learning management
system on an internal HTTPS connection. The FLVS do not work on
this LMS server but DO work when they open the same application
from our external (to the client) test web server (e.g. plain and
simple HTTP).
The PCs are the same machines. They are connecting from
within the same LAN (behind the firewall) e.g. all conditions are
exactly the same except for the HTTP/HTTPS difference.
The client is checking that the server MIME types are
correctly specified (it is believed that they are).
So...any advice why HTTPS/SSL might affect the FLV loading?
For reference: We are compiling in Flash 9. Client players
are running 9.0.124.0. All the files reside on the server(s) e.g.
no cross-domain file issues.
Thanks.

found this within the Adobe forums, seems to solve your issue.
I would make sure to use the crossdomain file as well.

HTML Page with Flash Video will not load in Firefox and Chrome

When going to the page http://www.airsept.com/linespliceanimation.html in Firefox (latest version) I am prompted to either open or save the file as if I clicked a link to download a file. Going to this web page in Google Chrome displays the code.
What the crap is going on? I can't figure it out. It works as it should in IE 7.

It looks like you fixed it. You should close it now so so it won't be listed as open.

Unable to publish projects with inserted video - error message The Flash video can not be loaded

I've created a project in Captivate 6 with two slides that have inserted videos in them
Both the videos were created in Captivate 6 by publishing those projects as mp4 videos
They play fine in the previews but when publishing I get the error saying the Flash video can not be loaded for both of those slides and in the output files the area for the video is blank.
I have checked that the videos are not open anywhere else as I saw on a previous post this was the issue but the only place they are in use is in the project I am trying to publish.
Below are my settings and the error message
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your screenshot indicates you are publishing to a folder on a network drive.
Have you:
Verified whether or not the video file exists at the published folder location? (It should ideally be sitting in the same folder as the SWF that calls it.)
Verified that the folder location is set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings?

Captivate 6 Video Issue: "The flash video can not be loaded. The input may not be proper"

I've already published this particular project with multiple videos embedded with no problems in Captivate 6. I had to change one video and went to re-publish the project. Upon completing the publish, I receive an error message on EACH slide that has embedded video:
"The Flash Video Can Not Be Loaded. The Input May Not Be Proper"
There wasn't any issues with the project until changing the one video that needed to swapped out. I also tried publishing this in Captivate 8 to the same results.
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro
Captivate Version 6.1.1.240
Intel Core i5 25-20 CPU @ 2.5 Ghz
4 GB RAM
32-Bit Operating System
If anyone knows why this issue has presented itself and how we can get around it, much would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
I am a little confused here. Are you getting this error while inserting a FLV video through Insert option or inserting a video through Video > Insert Slide Video or inserting a new slide?
Re-linking means reinserting the video file. If you have already tried reinserting the video file, then have you tried inserting a different video?
Also what operating system you have on your system?
Thanks!
Shekhar

Flash file not loading first time but loads on refresh

I have a problem where a flash program is not loading when
the webpage is first visited, it will get stuck on the loading
screen. Now for this file to finish loading, it needs to load in
another file. Once that file is done loading then the program will
continue. But like I said the first time the program gets stuck on
the loading screen and never continues. If you hit refresh in the
browser then the program will continue past the loading screen.
I've checked the code and everything seems fine there. Could
this be a security issue? The two files are on the same domain. Or
if anyone has any insight into this problem, it would be
appreciated.

That is almost always caused by a faulty preloader code. Post
your preloader code or a link to the website so it can be checked.

Janieburmy,
You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
So, let's try the filter experiment.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter.
Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.
