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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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…

    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.

  • 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?

    When I visit sites like '''ign.com''' and '''joystiq.com''', they do not display correctly and Flash videos never load.

  • 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 showing in IE

    I have little experience with embedding Flash videos into my pages. The video I inserted works in FF, Chrome, Safari...but not in IE 8.

  • 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.

  • Flash videos not running on Chrome or IE on a Windows 7 Toshiba Laptop (Someone Please respond)

    I'm using Windows 7 and Chrome and in the last day or so I've had no access at all to flash movies.  I have the newest version of Chrome and the flash plugin.  I've tried a number of things including enabling/disabling chrome plugins and it hasn't seemed to change anything.  All flash video across the internet will not run. 
    When going here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html, nothing shows up in the box below 1.  Not even an error message.  Flash videos are not working in IE either, and I've tried reverting back to version 10.3 of the player.  Some sites, including Adobe sites, behave as if I don't have flash installed and tell me to download it.   Please, someone help! 

    Wise of you to investigate in advance.
    Your best bet by far nowadays is to get a laptop with hardware virtualization and either the Professional or Ultimate versions of Windows 7 installed. That way, you can use XP Mode.
       Windows XP Mode (Toshiba)
       Windows XP Mode (Microsoft)
    You can even open an XP program directly from a shortcut in Windows 7.
    For current models suitable to run XP Mode, I suggest you call ToshibaDirect at 888-520-3926.

  • Flash video not running in Captivate 7

    Hi. I created an .swf file that has a short Flash video (.flv) file and audio file associated with the very first slide. The audio runs fine, but the .flv file does not run. Instead, I get "connection error" notice where the video should display.
    Any clue why this is occurring and how I can get the .flv file to run?
    Thanks,
    - Michael Fekete

    Placing video and audio on the very first slide of a project is never a good idea.  Put them on the second slide at least.  With video, you might end up significantly delaying the playback start if it's too heavy.
    If you're testing this on your local hard drive, your issue might be due to Flash Global Security settings.  Read this post:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/how-to-set-up-flash-global -security
    If you're testing this from a web server, your issue might be that the web server is not set up to serve FLV files.  Talk to your server admin to verify the FLV mime-type is supported.  If you are able to link directly to the FLV file on the web server, try to play it in your browser directly.  If that works, then the mime-type is supported but your connection error might be something else, e.g. using spaces in filenames, using mixed case filenames on a web server that doesn't handle mixed case without breaking links etc.  Lots of potential reasons.

  • Flash Video Not Paused At Start

    Hi there
    I'm trying to publish a flash video to the web but even
    though I've ticked the "paused at start" option in the publish
    settings, it still plays when the page is loaded.
    I've also tried adding various things such as
    autoplay='false', autostart='false' etc. but no joy.
    Can anybody point me in the right direction please??
    Thanks!

    Flash CS 3 in the html file it produces. Here is part of it. You
    will see

  • Flash Video not playing in Published file

    I published the files. I then click the "view ouput" button.
    I am able to see the video playing locally. However, when I copy
    all the contents in the publish folder (.htm, .swf, .flv, etc.) to
    my web server, the flash video does not play. The rest of the .swf
    animation plays, just no video.
    I do see a security message
    I did choose progressive download and selected Flash version
    as Flash Player 8.
