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?

i have purchased a nokia 5800 xm and i can take an view pics but can only take videos not view them, its just a blank screen with no sound that runs for the length of the video taken. and when the videos are listed they all have a red star next to them
The answer to this question is no. Apparently, if you use the belkin digital camera link, you can't view the photos until after you sync with your computer on both ipod photo and ipod video. Weak.

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.

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…
KieranThanks. 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...

Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me. I am going to school and I have an action scripting class. For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.
We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck.
Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.controls.List;
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source= "fashion.flv";
addChild(vid);
vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
vid.x=100;
vid.y=300;
vid.skinAutoHide="true";
vid.width=500;
vid.height=280;
var vidList:List = new List();
vidList.x= vid.x+10;
vidList.y= 200;
vidList.width=200;
vidList.height=100;
vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
addChild(vidList);
vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
function playVid(e:Event):void{
vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Here is a screenshot of the errors I am receiving.
Please help me
thanks
Message was edited by: BTwardyI don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name. Like this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.controls.List;
public class Main extends Sprite {
public function Main() {
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source= "fashion.flv";
addChild(vid);
vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
vid.x=100;
vid.y=300;
vid.skinAutoHide="true";
vid.width=500;
vid.height=280;
var vidList:List = new List();
vidList.x= vid.x+10;
vidList.y= 200;
vidList.width=200;
vidList.height=100;
vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
addChild(vidList);
vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
function playVid(e:Event):void{
vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with: Main
Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv. -
Basic question about Flash video. Please Help
Hello,
Sorry for the noob question but I'm struggling with the basic
understanding about the Flash video.
I just need to reduce a large video file to a small size with
a nice quality and the Flash Video Encoder does very god job with
that. But when I double click the compressed .flv file it opens as
a blank screen in the stand alone player without playing any video.
I can use Dreamweaver to produce a web page playing the file, but I
don't need this file for posting it on a web page, I just want the
file smaller and to simply play it on my computer or send it to
others.
What is the way to do this?
I appreciate your help.It sounds like you're not having problems with the actual
compression of the videos, just the playback, correct? All you need
is a standalone player that plays FLVs. Like Quicktime Player plays
MOVs, and Windows Media Player plays WMVs, you need something to
play the FLV files. There are many free options available. On a
mac, I use something called, strangely enough, SWF & FLV
Player. You can find it here:
http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html
Just do a search for FLV players and you should find
something appropriate. The only downside is you'll need to make
sure anyone you're distributing the videos to also has an FLV
player. If you're sending your files to just a few people, no big
deal. If this is for the public in general, you would want to embed
a Flash video player in an HTML page and send it like that.
Hope that helps. -
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?
Can you attach a screenshot?

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.> "Your current security settings prohibit running
> ActiveX controls on this page. As a result the page may
not display
> correctly."
This would only be in local preview, right?

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.htmlThe 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.

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 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.Hi all

BWorks for me...
Are you doing player detection? Which player are you
targeting?
Maybe those people did not have the correct player...
This is what I do:
1. I downloaded the player 7,8 and 9 player installers, the
player
uninstaller and always have them handy
2. Uninstall the player and visit the site to see it my no
player
installer detection is working and what happens
3. Install like the player 7 and see what happens
and so on...
this way you cna debug your player detection and give the
users the
option to either install flash or upgrade but never get a
blank video box
