Flash videos play in preview, but not live website...

I have embedded .FLV video files into my website. The videos play in my preview browser with no problems. When I upload them to my live site, and try to view them on the web, there is just a white space where they are supposed to be, and they do not play. The url of the webpage with the video is :
http://www.centrometalcut.com/Photos/abrasivephotos.asp
I have searched for all kinds of answers and solutions, tried tons of different things, and I cannot seem to fix this. I am so frustrated, please help!! Thanks.

Flash video works onDreamweaver preview but not after uploaded to site

Hi,
I created a page with FW CS3 and opened it with Dream weaver.
Using Flash CS3 I created some video clips. I then inserted three
video files to the web page. In DW preview mode I can see the
videos. I copy the source code and pasted it to the index page of
my website as well as uploaded all the sit files from my hard drive
folder to the website. The page comes up but not the videos.

Search this forum for "FLASH" "UPLOAD". You'll find hundreds
of answers.

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash

Many thanks if you can help

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Video plays in Dreamweaver but not on Website

I inserted flash (.flv) video clips in dreamweaver cs6 and when previewed in dreamweaver, works with all browsers (chrome, safari, and firefox). I uploaded the files to my website and none of the videos work. I've been troubleshooting this issue for several days and lhave not found a solution. I desperately need help.

I'm kind of surprised anything works. Among other things, you have no doc type declaration on the first line.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stjamesbaptistchurch.com%2Fte stsite%2Findex.htm
MM Rollover menus were/are a total train wreck. Adobe removed them from CS5 onwards.
As Murray already said, APDivs are pure poison in primary layouts, etc...
In short, this site could use a good re-build with modern, standards compliant code and an HTML5 video player.

Flash videos choppy in IE8 but not Firefox?

I noticed when watching most Flash content in IE8 it has a lot of brief pauses which makes videos appear choppy, But if I open the same video in Firefox it plays fine, Is there anything I can check that might be causing this issue? Im running the same (latest) version of flash in both browsers.
Here's one example, If I play this in Firefox the framerate is smooth, but in IE8 it has random pauses throughout the video: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-modnation-racers/100079

Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?

Subject: Flash Player works in IE8 but not Safari
Hi Bruce, Adobe Flash Player is Installed separately into IE, since Windows uses the ActiveX Control. Firefox and other non-IE
browsers must use the plugin Installer.
This is the Adobe site :

Hope that explains it.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

Flash Video working on PC, but not MAC...

I'm a bit confused here...
I created a flash movie by using Flash CS3 on my MAC,
essentially I just resized a .dv file, placed a small graphic in
the bottom corner of the video, and output it as a flash movie. I
uploaded it to my server to see how it looks on my website. When I
opened my web browser on my PC, the flash video plays and looks
fine. However when I opened by MAC browser, where the video is
there's a blinking "FLV" film strip icon (reddish)...it's not
playing the video file. Anyone have any idea why this would be
happening?

Works for me on Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3). Also works on
IE 7 on parallels. I think you need to update flash player, make
sure all browsers are closed. Testing on Internet Explorer 5.2.3 is
useless, nobody uses that anymore. For Mac, Safari, Opera, and
Firefox are most common. It works fine for me on all browsers, with
Flash Player 9,0,47,0

Movie plays in preview but not playing in chm

I've tried several different methods of adding flash video
files to a HTML Help project.
I've added the files to the Baggage Files and the Multimedia
folder (at least I think they're in the Multimedia folder!!).
When I preview the help page in RH, the movie plays as
expected. But, after compiling the help, the page looks blank and
the movie does not play.
Any suggestions?

ASAP!! Flash Player Works on Computer But Not Live. (Could Be Easy)

I need to present this site in a couple of hours and ran into this problem.
I just added a Flash button that works perfectly on every single page except my gallery.php. All the other pages are .html. On my computer I can see the button perfectly, but when I uploaded and viewed the file it tells me to update my player. Why would it not work live and does it have anything to do with it being a .php file? Here's a link that works, The "Primerica" button on the top right is the focal point.
Works:
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/inner_circle.html
Doesn't Work
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/gallery.php
It looks more presentable in IE7 than FF but I need to remedy this ASAP!!!

With an intermittent problem, whether a solution really works
needs to be tested extensively. Someone else reported being able to
play Flash in FF with Flash 9 installed, IF they also had Flash 8
installed. But in that case and in yours, was there sufficient
testing before the solution was reported? Check out this page with
FF (it's a page that tends to generate the problem with a high
frequency, but not always):
http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/52#jill
If repeated testing on that page doesn't crash your ability
to play Flash, then your solution may really work. What version of
Flash does Adobe say you have when you visit this page?:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
The other problem with IE is probably unrelated to this. Did
you reinstall Flash for IE? For IE, you have to run the exe program
with winax.exe in the name.

Embedded Video Plays on PCs but Not Macs

As the King of Siam declared, "It's a puzzlement."
I'm updating a site and have embedded a .mov from the client's YouTube channel using YouTube's preferred <iframe> code. Here is the URL: http://www.realcosmetics.com/ourStory.html.
The video will play in all of the browsers on my Win7 PC (latest Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and IE which also emulates IE7 & IE8). It will also play on the PCs of friends I've asked to test. It will not play from the page on any Macs where we've tested. [FYI, the .mov file was edited on a Mac and plays there.]
It will play on the Macs, however, from the YouTube channel. And the guy who is building the Facebook page embedded the same video on a tab using the old YouTube <object><embed> code. The test Macs have no problem playing the video from the FB page.
So, I tried switching to the old <object><embed>. Still doesn't play on the Macs, so I restored the iframe code.
What is totally confusing is that I recently embedded videos from YouTube into another site using YouTube's <iframe> code, and the client can play those on the Macs. Both pages use the same DOCTYPE (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) and code copied from YouTube. The page validates (after I removed the allowfullscreen switch which W3C said wasn't valid under the DOCTYPE).
I've searched online through forums and discussion threads for solutions, and while I found several that seemed to work for one person but not another (having to do with changing Mac preferences, etc.), none of those solutions worked on the test Macs.
Any ideas from you wonderful gurus? The answer may be staring me in the face but can't see it for having stared at it for so long. The only difference between this application and the previous one that I can think of is that the host servers are not the same company.
Thanks for pondering this!
Chris

Adninjastrator,
My advice was on the back of testing in Firebug - it was there I saw the .text div overlapping the Video. The video will become 'active' if I remove the float from #rcsVideo, however there are other floats and positioning that aren't helping anything.
To clarify, I can't get the play button to change when I hover over it (and I can't click it to play it) until I disable the float on #rcsVideo. Bizarre but that's what happens - in both FF and Chrome. No idea why this works in Windows machines without disabling the float. As you can see in the images attached, .text highlights the entire video area. Then, by disabling float:left on #rcsVideo, the text area is not covering the video.
The video itself is direct from youtube and has a flash fallback as well as many other kinds of fallback for all machines. As such, this displays in my iPad.

Video plays in swfiles but not when uploaded to website

Hi, does anyone have any idea why videos embedded in a swf
file play okay in the swf file or when tested as a movie on the CS3
stage, but when uploaded to my website will not play? I am
completely baffled by this.
My website link is at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafive/index.html
On the Bolivia and Chile page the videos do not appear once
the video is uploaded to my website. I have no idea why this should
be when the actual videos play perfectly well within the swf file
itself. I have put the encoded flash videos inside the same folder
as the swf file and uploaded everything, but no joy.
The swf file is 2.97 MB; not sure if that would present any
problem or not once uploaded
My video on another project plays fine at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafour/index.html
Can anyone cast any light on what the problem is with my
South America project?
Thanking you all..

Hi xchanin, thanks for your feedback. I dont quite understand
what you mean by this part here ... but if you do that process a
couple of times (with the same .mov file) you get the same .flv but
the name of your video is incremented by one each time?
Pretty well much I followed this tutorial
http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/flash/building-flash-templates/adding- video/
I put a FLVPlayback component on my Flash stage.
I encoded my videos in the CS3 video encoder and followed the
settings given in the above tutorial link. I did not resize or crop
the videos, I set the quality to medium and I gave my videos a name
prior to encoding it.
After encoding the film, I highlighted the FLVPlayback
Component and in the parameters found the content path and then
linked that to my encoded videos one by one. Then I saved my
worked, played it in the movie tester and then I exported my swf
file to my Dreamweaver folder, but I did rename my exported file
(it is not the same name as my Fla file). Could that make a
difference? I also put my Flv videos in the same folder as my swf
file and uploaded them to my server. I put the swf file on my html
page and then uploaded that to my server. My website shows the swf
file but the videos do not appear at all. However, the videos do
appear in the actual swf file when I play that.
I would be grateful to know if you see anything wrong with my
working process here. Could the renaming of the exported file have
caused the problem?
Thanking you.

Menu audio will play during preview but not when disc is burned.

Encore CS6.
Menu music plays fine in preview. I know that the file is good. No menu audio after disc is burned. Have tried several different transcoding options. There is menu video too that is working fine.

Here are notes I couldn't find before I posted that; just general re testing methods:
Mounting an iso (or building to a folder) is a great way to test. There are some differences, but it is a great method prior to burning to a disk. The main difference is simply computer vs dvd player - autoactivate on a button doesn't work with a mouseover, and you can be fooled into thinking your navigation does, or does not, work. (Even on the computer, don't use the mouse for testing, use the "remote" in the player controls.)
Encore preview is an emulator, like computer DVD players, that attempts to predict what will happen when a disk is played on a set top DVD player. It has always had issues with some predictions not being accurate. Some inaccuracies are like this one: Encore preview does not work, and a burned disk will. Others are the opposite; it works in Encore preview, and not in a DVD player. The point to be made here is that you cannot rely on Encore preview. You also cannot rely on computer playback of a built image or folder. And, in the end, you cannot rely on playback on one DVD player - some disks work on some players and not on others.

Video plays in iTunes but not Apple TV.

I'm having trouble with playing movies on Apple TV. I had a video that I converted to mpeg4 format. 640x384, 1138kbps total bitrate, 23 frames/sec. I can play it in iTunes and in quicktime but not through Apple TV. It just perpetually loads...
I can play any of my music from the same home shared computer on my Apple TV with no noticeably loading time. The total file size of the movie is 785MB.
Does anyone know why this can't play on Apple TV and if there's something else I need to be doing?

Google and download Handbrake, and convert the video for AppleTV format. Not everything that plays in itunes or QT plays on AppleTV.
There are many variants of MPEG4 and parameters that can make AppleTV fail to play it. Best to convert to the h264 variant which Handbrake will do by default using the AppleTV preset (don't use preset 2 for a silver AppleTV 1).
Vieo specs for AppleTV are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html

Videos play on iPhone, but not MacBook (page generated by 'Save for Web')

I have QT 10, and I wanted to post a video I made on a personal webpage. I used the 'save for web' option from within QT 10, and it generated the usual ugly HTML page, the MOV file, and the source files that I specified. I edited the HTML to make it look a bit prettier and added the extra content I wanted to have, and uploaded it to my webserver (page is located at http://www.mripatientsafety.com/NERHRM/Resources/NERHRM_TGilk_on_MRI_Safety.html).
The video played when I loaded it on my iPhone, but wouldn't load / display on my MacBook in either Firefox or Safari. I thought it might be something wrong with the MOV wrapper file, so I changed the HTML to skip the MOV and point directly to the MV4 file, but the exact same symptoms persist.
I don't do this often, but I have used the 'Save for Web' feature maybe a half-dozen times before, and I've never had this problem. At this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be:
I'm a dummy and goofed up a section of code and didn't realize it.
There's been updates to Firefox and Safari since the last time I tried this (perhaps a year ago) and they now are unfriendly with the way that QT 10 prepares the HTML.
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer to help make sure that the video displays properly for the greatest number of viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Further update:
I am trying to import the files to my Macbook Pro (10.10.3) via Photos, and it will not allow me to import them.
I receiving the below error message:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may to contain valid data).
Reason: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
The file types are .mp4 and .mov
Any ideas or recommendations?
I have done a Hard reset, soft reset, and tried resetting network settings.
I have done a Manual Backup to computer and did a backup to iCloud- but I have not restored the iPhone yet, as I am not sure if the files are being backed up or not?
I also tried using a third party transfer app (AnyTrans) to transfer the files to my computer hard drive, but it would not allow the transfer and kept skipping the videos which won't play back (even though it recognizes them - but won't play them back).
