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For testing purposes get rid of all that old, outdated Flash detection code and instead just use: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 video not showing on website after upload

I created a short flash video using Flash8 and used
DreamWeaver8 to insert it into my web page. I can preview the page
in any browser using the "preview in browser" function of
DreamWeaver. It plays perfectly. However, when I upload the page to
my website the modified web page appears but there is nothing where
the Flash Video should be.
I upload in the following manner: Since I do all my web site
construction while away from the home server, I use my laptop to
modify things and then use a remote signin to my home computer that
is hosting the website which gives me access to my home computer's
(My Server) website folders. I then move a copy of the modified
page containing the Flash Video, the Video.swf file, and the
Video.fla file into the website files on the home server.
Why wont it play?
What am I doing wrong?

Hi I have a similar problem, imported a medium res flv clip
into flash, the clip is about 1Meg, works fine when playing back
the local flash site but does not work via server. A very simple

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.
Is there something else I need to do to make this work?
Here's the page, the video is in the lower left: http://www.valentineroof.com/

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 Video not showing

Hi I converted a Quick time movie to Flash video using Flash Video Encoder CS3. When I insert the flash video in Dreamweaver and preview the page with Firefox or IExporer it doesn't show up. I can preview using Safari. Any ideas why the video won't show in Firefox or IExplorer? I even updated the Flashplayer plugins but it didn't work.

Thanks for the reply, it isn't uploaded anywhere just on my local machine for now. All I did was start a new blank HTML page in Dreamweaver CS3, insert, media, flash video. Chose the file, no space or special characters in the name, all lower case. It show the grey box where the video should be. I press f12, the default is firefox, no video. Try previewing in IExplorer no video, try Safari video works. All files are in the same directory.

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?

Adobe Flash up to date; firefox 9.0.1 installed. Flash does not show as plug in & Firefox states Flash not up to date. What to do

Under plugins, I get the following message:
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
However, I updated to the version Firefox suggested. Flash does not show as a plugin. Plus, after updating, I continue to receive the message:
Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
Running Windows 7
Firefox v 9.0.1
What is wrong?

The plugin check page only recognizes some common plugins that play media on web pages and not plugins added by security software like McAfee. So no need to worry about that. Just make sure that you keep all your software up to date, especially software that deals with internet access and security software (anti-virus software, firewall).

Import iPhoto Flip video - not showing.

Running iMovie 09. iPhoto '11 (9.1.5). Imported video from Flip into iPhoto. Video not showing in iMovie. Is this a format issue? Is there a workaround?
Thanks

Make sure that if the Flip came with a disk or software to be installed, that you run the installer. I've got a first gen. Flip mino that requires something called a 'codec' to be installed before the video clips can playback. In my case it's a piece of software from a company called 3ivx.

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.

You can always find the latest Uninstaller just be looking at a few threads here on the forum.

Flash does not connect to server in some computers

hi, i have this thing: there is an app that has been finished (i hope) and it seems to work ok, this flash loads about 1Mb of flash app, then loads some stuff from the server via xml, generated through a script. as i said, it works ok in some computers, but somebody tells me that in other devices, the flash loads fine, but it gets stuck while loading from the server (it wont go further than the splash theat says 'loading contents'). Since is flash, i assume it is computer independent (it is not like the html, where each device may chow it different according to browser and setup; since is flash it will show and load just as the flash would load everywhere else); but as it seems it gets stuck right when loading the xml, after the flash has loaded (the flash loads the xml from the server), what may be causing this? is there any 'flash option' that may be interfering the flash from loading the xml content?
tnx

exactly that; It loads a flash video which weights about 1 meg, which is used to edit and create content. After the flash finishes loading, it will try to load from the server the current state of the content, and it reads it from a script in xml form. The content editor (the flash) weights about 1 meg; the xml is generally very short, but can change size, and is the only thing it loads, besides data from a static text file that has not changed. In some computers, it loads ok, in other computers, it loads the flash editor but gets stuck after that (it does not load the xml or so it seems, so it neither jumps to the menu or to the error frame)
----edit----
Imagine a youtube kinda site (other thing than videos), but which loads the flash video player, but the video player is not able to load the video, very similar to this case

Flash Video not uploading

I have a flash video I am trying to upload to my webpage

I can upload the video to a different page (ie
hmstechnology.com/differentpage), but I cannot get it to upload to
my main page, although I have done so before.
Here is the message DreamWeaver shows:

All the files are on a flash drive. Any suggestions greatly
appreciated. Also, I tried it with Filezilla as well.
Thanks,

You upload files to your hosting server, not to individual
pages. If you
can "upload to one page" on that server, then you should be
able to "upload
to all pages" on that server. In other words, you are
uploading to
hmstechnology.com. The HTML on the page itself then finds the
file you just
uploaded on the path specified in the link. Ask your host for
help with
this one - it doesn't sound like a DW problem.

Videos not showing on iPad using Muse CC

I have created a website that uses two different videos, they work fine on the desktop version but do not show up on the Tablet version. I'm testing on an iPad but pretty sure it will be the same result for other tablets. They will also have to work on the smartphone version. Any suggestions? Help appreciated, this is rather urgent as the website must launch in the next day.

Translate english to spanish ! Hola saludos desde Venezuela, revisa si los videos que estas subiendo no estan en formato flash , trata de que sean en .mp4 o el archivo .ogg que son los que se pueden visualizar desde ipad o table. Envia una muestra de tu web , saludos.

Flash CS6 not showing in FCP 7.03

I recently upgraded (well, for me it was an upgrade) to an older Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
I have installed FCP 7.03 (and in a seperate folder the hated FCP X)
I also have Adobe Creative Suite CS6 installed.
On my previous MacBook Pro I could export from a video sequence as a Flash Movie (.FLV). I could do this using one of the options in "Export Using QuickTime Conversion" On that machine I was running Flash CS4.
For some reason the Flash export option is not showing now. Flash is properly installed and opens just fine.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
A.S.

"Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?"
Probably nothing. FCP 7 was last updated in 2010; Flash CS6 was released in 2012. Incompatibility is to be expected.
There may be a conversion program, but it's most likely you'll find it on Adobe's Flash forum.
Good luck

Flash player not showing up in start menue?

installed version 11 7 700 202 on new computer running windows 7 and internet explorer. Installations said complete, but the program does not show up in the start menue and does not activate when trying to view videos, sometimes getting the message that I do not have flashplayer plugin downloaded? On the adobe help site the find version help tool displays that "flash player is running on your system" by showing the movie of that text and a red ball. So what the heck is going on. I have restarted the computer a couple time too?

Flash Player is only a browser add-on, not an executable program, so it won't appear in the Start menu.
Regarding Internet Explorer, a couple of possibilities

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?
