Flash Video not appearing in PCs.. help?

Hey all,
I created a simple flash music player to put on a website. It is viewable in Safari, FireFox and Chrome on my Mac. Unfortunately, when I try viewing it in two browsers on a PC (Chrome and FireFox), it doesn't appear at all. The PC computer does have the most updated version of flash as well. Also, when I try to view the html document created from Flash on the PC computer, my flash player does not show up either.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

what's your url and does anything need to be done to see the problem?

Flash piece not appearing on macs, help!

my client says the flash animation on the following page is
not appearing on her mac, can anyone check it? maybe tell me the
problem? please!!!
http://www.l3hm.com/anim_test3.php

You're welcome. It's how I learned, too.
Think of it this way. The final page assembled by the server
and uploaded
to the browser can only contain a single set of properly
terminated <html>,
<head>, and <body> tags. This means that NONE of
those tags can be present
both in the parent page and in the include files.
Furthermore, if you want
to work with DW, you cannot have any of those tags in the
include files,
although it is theoretically possible to have a <head>
or <body> in them.
DW will barf if it sees that, however.

Cannot upgrade adobe flash player (failed to initialize), shockwave flash does not appear as a plug in

various web sites stated that I needed to update adobe flash player. I clicked on link and followed instructions, then received the message "installation encountered errors - failed to initialize". So far, I have uninstalled previous versions of flash player and checked my plug ins. Noticed that Shockwave flash does not appear in my plug in list and adobe states that this needs to be active for their flash player.
I am on Windows XP and Firefox version 8.
Thanks.

Flash Video Not Viewing-HELP!

I have followed all of the tutorials and references and I
still cannot view my flash video from a regular server. The MIME
settings have been changed and I have even tried posting to another
server that has the MIME settings in order. I am not doing anything
out of the ordinary when posting to the web server, in fact I post
the entire folder and all of its content.
Is there another reference out there that I can be directed
to finally resolve this issue? I've the devnet tutorials and
Dreamweaver 8 tutorials on how to insert flash video into a web
page. I just don't get it the video will play from my hard drive
but not the server.
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!

I seem to be in this bucket as well. Did the MIME thing too.
I see the video no matter where I put it, but no other users can
get the video., they get a white page. Also checked the path to
make sure it is local to the web server and not to my harddrive.
EDIT: Well got mine to work. I put the flv on the webserver
first, then when importing to stage, chose progressive download and
for video source used a url address to the server where the video
is and will reside, then published and it worked. very odd?

Websites not loading correctly and flash videos not playing

When I visit sites like '''ign.com''' and '''joystiq.com''', they do not display correctly and Flash videos never load. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled twice to version 9.0.1 with no change. The second time I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to help make sure I got rid of all registry entries and residual files. Does anyone know if this is a recent bug? This started for me about noon yesterday...

Not loading correctly in what way?

Flash Video Not Working

I have set up a flash video, and while it works in
DreamWeaver 8 (I use an XP Pro platform), it does not on the

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Flash video not working in IE

I’ve been making a couple of websites that need to
stream a little bit of Flash video. So I put together a little
Flash video selector swf using the simplest code (it has nothing
more than go to and play commands on the buttons and stop commands
on the timeline).
I’m also using the standard Flash wizard to stream the
video files using the low quality pre-sets on the transcoding.
I’ve used this method before and it seemed to work, but now
when I’m testing these sites in IE the Flash element seems to
crash all the time and freeze up the whole browser or the video
just doesn’t display. The weird thing is it usually plays the
first video but when you click the button to move to another it
crashes.
Here’s a couple of sites that it’s happening on
http://www.virtual360.org/v360/1.html
http://www.virtual360.org/video.asp
– they work fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Has anyone
seen this problem before? Any help would be much appreciated…
Kieran

Thanks. I'm not clear where you're referring to. There are currently two object tags. One has <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...> like you describe. The other has a different format.
I'm not clear on what/where I'm supposed to change.
Thanks...

Flash videos not playing correctly

I posted some flash videos to some sites that get a
tremendous amount of website traffic. We are getting feedback that
the flash videos do not play consitently. Some people can see them
just fine, others cannot see the videos at all, for others -
particulary in Firefox, the video asks to download rather than
play. We created the videos using Flash 9 - importing the FLV file
and saving as an swf. We do not really see any type of pattern
across browsers.
Any advice?

Not loading correctly in what way?

Movies and videos not appearing on iPhone.

I have an odd problem with movies (both those made by me and those purchased via iTunes) not appearing on my iPhone 3GS after syncing, even though they used to.
All of the options in iTunes are set correctly for syncing.
The strange thing is this: I can see the videos being transferred in the sync status bar in iTunes, but when I go into the iPod part of my iPhone and select Videos they are not there.
Also, if I delete the movies from iTunes, and then sync, the movies are actually copied back from the iPhone to my mac, even though they were not showing up on the phone.
Anyone have any ideas? I have selected and deselected every option I can think of and synced over and over again, but it makes no difference.
Regards,
Andy

Guys, I have finally solved my problem, and I hope this helps you too.
In the end my issue with the non-syncing of videos turned out to be due to the Restrictions settings. I had been experimenting with enabling the restrictions for various sorts of content so that my young daughters did not end up seeing, hearing or buying something that they ought not. This then stopped a number of videos from being seen on my iPhone, even though they were there.
So, if you have set any sort of restriction on your phone, check your settings : General > Restrictions > Allowed Content. It may be that this sorts out your some of your problems.
As a side issue, I am a a bit annoyed about this problem. Yes, I played around with the content restrictions, and then forgot about it, but maybe somehow, somewhere during or after a sync a message ought to pop up saying "You have enabled some content restrictions. Some of your audio or video content may not be available on this device"?
Anyway, hope this helps you all.

Flash Video not playing in IE6

I have a flash video embedded in my page that plays fine in
FF and IE7, however when loading the page in IE6 the video is
absent (the "red x" is in its place) and I receive the message
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result the page may not display correctly."
Now, this happens in IE6 only on the default security
settings. I have other sites that embed flash video and play fine
in IE6 without warning...they weren't created with Dreamweaver CS3
though.
What is triggering this in IE 6 and can I remove some code
from my page to prevent this?
Thanks for any help to what is probably a noobish
question.

Flash Video Not rending in IE 7 or 8

I have a website, and on one of my pages, TV commercials, I embedded Flash videos from my YouTube channel. I tested on all browsers, and everything is fine except for Internet Explorer. I get the red X for where the videos are supposed to be. What gives? I tried to update the flash video player in Internet explorer. It is definetely something with IE. Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks.
My Page:
http://harrisonmarketingmd.com/portfolio/tvads/tv.html

The reason is because of an error in a javascript file created by Dreamweaver. The name of the file is "AC_RunActiveContent.js" you'll find it in a folder on the site named "scripts"
You need to modify line #5 in that script. You open the file with any tecxt editor ... like Notepad, but NOT like MS Word!!!
You will see on line 1 that the file version is 1.7 (I have already looked at YOUR file, and I know this is what's wrong.
OK line 5 says:
var isIE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) ? true : false;
you need to change it to this:
var isIE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) ? true : false;
Then save it. And I recommend making a backup copy, because Dreamweaver will overwrite it if you edit your site again.
Briefly, what happened is this: The class: "navigator.appVersion.indexOf" holds a string of what browser is being used to read the page. The value "MSIE" is wrong, Internet Explorer uses the string "Microsoft". Later on another function is called which relies on that variable, and since it got the wrong value to begin with, subsequent references to that variable "isIE" will fail.
Older versions of "AC_RunActiveContent.js" didn't use that variable, and the subsequent function(s) were also different. So the problem wasn't present. If for some freak reason, some version of IE would in fact return "MSIE" you can check for both by writing line 5 as:
var isIE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) ? true : false;
OK? That's all you need to do, and what ADOBE needs to do is fix Dreamweaver so it writes the *.js file correctly

Flash Video not showing on Server

Hi, wonder if anyone can help on this one. Going round in circles. Not sure why, should be simple enough.
I have created a Flash Video in Flash 8 and published and picked up in Dreamweaver 8. Published files were sample.swf, sample.html and SteelExternalAll.swf (skin). Publish settings were: Format - Flash SWF and HTML; default Flash settings with local playback security set to access local files only; default HTML settings.
In Dreamweaver, sample.html is accessed via an iframe in test.php. In Preview mode, everything is as it should be with the Video showing. The problem is, when I upload all the files to the Server, the video is not displayed including the skin. Instead, all I get is the border of the iframe with a red rectangle showing where the video should be.
Hope someone can help. Pulling my hair out on this one and get the feeling there is a simple explanation.
Thank you in advance.

First get the video to play in the web page that you accessing in iframe;
http://79.170.40.41/booksat.com/videos/elaine.html
For testing purposes get rid of all that old, outdated Flash detection code and instead just use:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Elaine</title>
</head>
<body>
<object data="elaine.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="345"><
param name="movie" value="elaine.swf">
</object>
</body>
</html>
No skin but you should at least see the video... worry about the skin later....
But you also need to make sure that you have all the files uploaded, the .swf, the skin .swf and the .flv video file and that they are pathed correctly. Keep in mind that pathing to the Flash assets need to be relative to the Web page that the .swf video player is on, NOT the physical location of the .swf or the .flv file.
But get the video playing correctly on the elaine.html before you consider putting it in an iframe.
For a quick review on pathing Flash:
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.
