Flex app won't automatically play in Firefox

Hello,
I've been having a problem that's I just can't seem to progress on and hope that maybe someone here can help me out.
If you look at http://www.batstrading.co.uk/market_data/price_improvement/, there's a Flex 3 applicationthat for some reason, in Firefox, you need to right click and then Play to get the app to initialise and run. The strange thing is, it appears to happen only on this server (it plays automatically from my development machine).
I used to use the Adobe supplied JS and had modified that to ensure it passed through the play="true" attribute to the embed tag, but that didn't work. Looking through various posts, I found SWFObject, which seemed to be a much nicer approach and have switched to that, but also to no avail.
I have tried setting autostart=true, autoload=true, autoplay=true and play=true (in both flashvars and params - flashvars seems wrong to me,
but I saw that in an example), but this isn't helping.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Aaron Watkins

One thing is that you must execute the embed code in a separate file. In other words, have the HTML (or PHP or whatever) do an include or reference on the JavaScript that actually embeds the SWF. If you don't do this, you often have to click on the control to activate it. After a very cursory glance at your site, though, it looks like you're doing that. However, you're referencing the swfobject.js file on google's server.
So this made me thing that maybe you need to have a local version of that file. I would try copying it from the source or from the Flex SDK directory and storing it locally on your server.

Podcasts app won't remember played episodes and automatically deletes played episodes.

I'm using an iPhone 4, iOS 6. I run a Mac and have set podcasts to keep 1 most recent episode. It simply will not honor this setting. Tried deleting/reloading Podcasts app won't remember played episodes. It will randomly decide all xx previous episodes are new and unplayed. Even after marking all as played it will show it as such and then an hour later revert. This is not shown on my home computer or on an ipad or what not just FYI. It automatically deletes played episodes. I'd like to keep the most recent episode of all the podcasts I subscribe to and only delete once the new one is downloaded. In case I want to refer back. It regularly deletes them, requiring me to redownload the episode and annihilating my data cap. It just won't actually sync or work correctly at all.
Any advice or help is very much appreciated. I hate to vent; it is just exasperating.
PS: I understand many people like third party providers and you'd think I'd have done that given how much I listen to podcasts but this ought to work and work like Amazon's whispersync. Whoever is in charge of this is a bozo that's blowing it and I hope they are aware of it.

I am also having problems with 100s of played podcasts being listed. Like others, if I delete a podcast, it reappears as unplayed the next time I open podcast app in a WiFi zone. In the meantime, the app stops working while it tries to handle all the new info. Finally for some podcasts, it plays and old episode when I select the most recent. I keep selecting "Mark all as played" only to see 100s show up a few hours later. I would prefer played episodes not to be listed in menu at all!
I listen to podcasts on the subway without any ability to stream and prefer to access only from my phone and not have to fuss with computer.
I have read that if you delete the app to go back to using Music app, you can no longer download new podcasts but must do in iTunes. Is there any fix or workaround?

On my iPhone 5 the YouTube app won't always play videos in hd

Whenever I go into my google YouTube application and I try to play back a video that I know is capable of being viewed in hd,my app won't always play it in that quality. I just wanna know if its just the app or something else. I normally am on wifi, my battery level is good, and I've looked for any settings but found nothing.

How to debug 4.5.1 flex app in Black Berry play book?

Hi ,
i do want to know how to debug the 4.5.1 flex app in Blackberry playbook and the process or do we need do enable any properties plz let me help on this ASAP.
Thanks

Simeon,
Thanks for that, I had a brainfart and forgot you can have the properties defined in that manner. I changed it but it still wasn't working which made me realize I had to change the backgroundColor property on the view in Away3D. I realized this after trying the params for the class and then not adding the view (which had a white bg) and then i looked at the docs and bam, there it was. Thanks!

Why won't videos play in Firefox?

Videos in YouTube and news sites will not play. Everything worked last night. This afternoon no videos play. I tried updating Real Player plug-ins, re-installing Real Player, installing QuickTime, checking QuickTime plug-ins, etc. Nothing works.

DVDSP-DVD won't automatically play

I've authored thousands of DVDs using DVDSP and never run across this before. This disc I just authored won't play in the MacPro I used to author it. It'll play in set-top players, it'll play in PCs just fine—and also will play in my Quicksilver G4, but when I slide it into my MacPro, it spins up like it's about to play, but nothing happens. Other DVDs play just fine when I insert them, just not this one or any of the batch I made alongside it. I've checked the DVD Player prefs, and it's set to play a DVD when inserted. The blank media are Maxell DVD -Rs —which I've never really had problems with.
So the question is, is this a problem with the authored DVD, DVD Player or maybe my DVD drive is going out? Any ideas?

This is definitely a strange issue.
My bet is that it's the blank DVD-R media as what you have described sounds just like something one might encounter when working with DVD-Rs.
(Athough, it is very unexpected that the machine that burned them will not read them.)
If you have Toast handy, try using it to burn your DVD buid. As Toast does a verification pass, you will know right away if the data on the disc that was just burned can also be read.
Another thing to try is to copy the VIDEO_TS data to you G4 drive and then burn it back to both the same Maxell media as well as a different brand. Then, see if either of this play on your Mac Pro.
Report back on what you come up with.

My apps won't automatically download on my phone, they will only download onto the computer. what do i do to fix this?

I try to download an app from the app store onto my phone but the icon just says "waiting...". the apps will only download to my laptop through iCloud. how do i change this?

Hi there marilyn248!
I've got some articles that should be able to help you with the issue you are experiencing. The article is about finding your past purchases through you iTunes account, and can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
You will want to pay close attention to which iTunes account you are signed into on both your computer and your iPhone, and make sure you are signed into the same one that was used to make the purchases. You will then be able to download the purchases directly to your phone without syncing to your computer. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

Why won't videos play on Firefox 13.0.1 but will on IE9?

All the plugins report as current - I even reinstalled Firefox! But for some time I'll get the message "An error occurred, please try later" on YouTube and just a blank space where the video ought to be on such sites as Earthcam and the Science Channel.

The issues with RealPlayer and Flash have been fixed in RealPlayer 15.0.6 so another alternative is to update RealPlayer to the latest version. Ref:

Ebedded Flex app does not play automatically

I have a flex app that is embedded in a web page.
When the page loads for the first time the app does not run
automatically but is in "loop" mode.
In order to embed the application in the html page we have
copied the html and javascript files that the Flex builder
generates :
AC_OETags.js, history.htm, history.js etc.
This only happens the first time the page is loaded,
subsequently it loads and plays automatically.
I would be grateful is anyone has some insight here.

Thanks for your answer, we found a similar workaround.
We did the following:
1) disable automatic starting of the SWF in the script that
created the plugin by adding these parameters:
"play", "false",
"loop", "false",
2) adding some own javascript to the template-html:
var isMovieLoaded = false;
function setIsMovieLoaded(){
isMovieLoaded = true;
function start(id) {
var swf = document.getElementById(id);
if (swf) {
swf.Play();
function playMovie(){
if( !isMovieLoaded ){
start( "${application}" );
window.setTimeout("playMovie()", 3000);
3) calling setIsMovieLoaded() via ExternalInterface from the
loaded application when initializing:
if (ExternalInterface.available)
ExternalInterface.call("setIsMovieLoaded");
This way when the application loads and plays correctly, the
delayed call to playMovie in the html-template does nothing,
because the flag isMovieLoaded was already set by the application.
If that is not the case, the movie is explicitly startet via
the start function.
Thanky anyway :-)

Voicemail is through your carrier and on their equipment.
It's function and features is set by them, not your phone.

Not all apps support airplay.

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

You can simply set your system preferences
Sound preference
output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

Flex app in Firefox

Hi,
I have a flex app which is inside coldfusion wrapper. If I
open it in IE it works fine but if I open it in firefox then it
opens it in center and the width and height are really small and I
get lots of scroll bars. I have width=100% and height = 100% at the
application level. Something else can I change so that it will work
fine in firefox.
Thanks

the problem is probably in your html file not your
application, check your html source to make sure its correctly
formed

HT4314 how do I turn off a game after playing so the app won't run down my battery?

How do I turn off a game after playing it so the app won't run down the battery. This has happened 2x and I have had to reset my phone.

To completely close an app (though a lot of apps don't remain active when you switch into a different app or go to the homescreen) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app that you want to close 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
