FLV files run locally but not on website

My flash video plays back when I do a preview, but after uploading the FLV files and the new page to the web site all I have are blank squares, not videos. What's up?

Image loads locally but not on Website?

I have constructed a slide show viewer for use on a website.
The swf loads jpeg images which are contained in the same
directory. This works well on my local machine but when uploaded to
a website and called up by an html file, the swf runs and shows the
correct backgrounds but fails to load any jpegs. I assume that the
problem is to do with the transfer of the variable 'Select_picture"
into the loadMovie statement?
The following loop (step variable = pic_no) works locally but
not on website:-
>>var Select_picture:String="Pic"+pic_no+".jpg";
>>var Select_mc:String="mc"+pic_no;
>>
>>this.createEmptyMovieClip([Select_mc], depthnow++);
>>loadMovie([Select_picture], [Select_mc]);
In order to prove that a picture could be loaded on the
website, I simplied the code to :
>>loadMovie("pic1.jpg",[Select_mc]);
and this worked.
So, I tried to transfer the same string directly via the
variable;-
>>var Select_picture:String="Pic1.jpg";
>>
>>loadMovie([Select_picture], [Select_mc]);
But this does not work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dave

Thanks , Arunkkumar2207j and ggshow for your suggestions.
1, The image size isn't a problem because the one I used for
the test is only 200k. And the single test image loads very quickly
on the website.
2. I don't think the depth of the movie clip is a problem
either because depthnow starts at a very large number and is
incremented for each clip and works well for multiple clips on my
local machine. Also when loading a single image is should not be a
problem. Also, I think I proved that was working with the single
image test?
3. The htm, swf and images are in the same directory. But for
the test, I ran the swf directly on the website (without using the
htm file to load it)
Please keep the suggestions coming....!
Many thanks

I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites. I have the new Reader.

I can open pdf files in emails, but not on websites, as I was able to a couple of weeks ago. On websites I get the message, "Adobe Acrobat has crashed". I downloaded the new Adobe Reader and that didn't help. I don't have Adobe Acrobat, on Adobe Reader.

Windows 7, Google Chrome and the most recent Adobe Reader (just downloaded the same day). The problem is with Google Chrome, as Fire Fox works fine. I tried enabling and disabling what would read pdf files in Chrome plugins and found that the only thing that worked was to disable adobe reader and enable chrome reader, which is the opposite of what was reccomended in answer to other adobe forum questions that were similar to mine.

C# Script to copy an Excel File working locally but not on the server when I schedule a job

So I have these couple C# commands to copy an Excel File which works fine and dandy on my local client when I test and run this SSIS Package but when I tried scheduling the job on the server, it failed.
These are the couple C# commands...
// This Opens the Source .xlsx File from Emdeon ePaySmart
Workbook workbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(StringSourceFile, XlUpdateLinks.xlUpdateLinksNever, true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Save the Source .xlsx Emdeon ePaySmart File as a .xls File...note xlFileFormat.xlExcel5
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
Is this because I'm using xlFileFormat.xlExcel8 and locally it is running fine but when I schedule via SQL Server Management Studio as a SQL Server Agent Job it seems to be failing??
I sure hope I don't have to change this so it will run as a SQL Server Agent Job and/or run this locally every blessed week.
Can someone clear this up for me and provide a potential solution?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

That is Excel automation, which requires Excel to be installed on the computer where the code runs, and is not supported on a server without an interactive user logged in.

Flv player works locally but not when uploaded

Another day, another issue...
I have a flash movie that includes an flv player with previews and buttons. It reads the content from an xml file.
It works without problem when I test it locally. Trouble is when I upload it, everything displays correctly but the flv movie file doesn't play. Here's the test link:
http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.html
XML file is http://www.swsoftware.com/NCJHS/Assets/Video/video.xml
Flash file is http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.fla
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm new to flash and this forum has been a tremendous help in resolving my (somewhat numerous) problems.

RSS Widget works locally but not on website

I used the RSS widget to insert the following RSS feed:
feed://www.bpkids.org/updates.xml
I have also tried inserting with http:// instead of feed:// but no difference
When I publish the site and check it on my local folder, it works. But when I post it to my website, it shows nothing.
This is the first time I've used the RSS widget. It seems straight forward enought, however, I've read in these discussions that there was a bug with the RSS widget recently that was causing it not to work and wasn't sure if this is still a problem. Thanks

That is a crossdomain issue because you have the site
accessible via www or without.
If you use
http://www.sneeple.com/media_test/index.html
to access that page it will work.
Here's what to do to fix it:

Microphone sound recording,saving,playing flv file is saved but not working

Please help me,
          While recording the flv is saved inside applications/stream/samples/audio.flv. But it is not working properly.

Try changing the fileName:String to a simpler string name like "myAudio"....then try playing it.....if it works doing that....then the issue is with you converting that date variable to a string.......and if thats the problem try converting the value with   .toString() seperately and adding

FLV Player works locally but not on site

I made a media player for the website I maintain and
the FLV Player works on my machine, but it doesn't even show up
online. What did I do wrong? Here is the url:
ruarts.org/f/media player flash/content/rcca
player.html

Me thinks you have hard-coded some incorrect relative paths.
For instance, one of your SWFs is here:
http://ruarts.org/f/media%20player%20flash/content/frog%20bride.swf
And the link to one your FLVs is this:
http://ruarts.org/Users/stmcmast/Documents/media%20player%20flash/movs/respond%20park%2010 20%201.flv
But the actual path to that same FLV is this:
http://ruarts.org/f//media%20player%20flash/movs/respond%20park%201020%201.flv

Flash site works locally but not online (uploaded to server)

We have bought a flash portfolio template and have customized it with our pictures, video, etc.
When we test it locally on our computer (using different web browsers) it all works perfectly well. We have uploaded the finished website to our server and when you go to the address online, it doesn't work (a loader progress shows but it is stopped and nothing happens).
We have however uploaded the original template we bought and it works perfectly online.
The template consists of and index.html, various .swf, and various .xml that we have modified according to the template instructions (it also contains a java script folder we haven't touched).
What is it wrong with our modified template - it works locally without problem…!
Thanks for your help

When a Flash file works locally but not on-line, it's almost always a pathing issue (provided you did upload ALL files and do not have something missing... as suggested by Ned).
A "pathing issue" results when the main .swf cannot find one or more of the associated Flash files...like an xml file or images.
It can be something as simple as using switching file names to all lower case. Local machine is not case sensative... most servers are. So "My Photo.JPG" is not the same as "my_photo.jpg". When naming files, best to use all lower case, no spaces in any file or folder names... use_underscore_instead.
But the most common cause is that those associated files (xml, images, etc.) are not pathed relative to the Web page where the main .swf is embedded. Pathing to the .xml and image files should be as though the .swf was located in the same folder as the Web page... NOT the actual location of the .swf file.
And that includes paths to the xml file and paths to image files coded into those xml files. Everything need to be coded relative to the Web page.

iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently. What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action. You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes. If not, you may have to do some finagling.
Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17. If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.

Movie with flv only runs locally

Greetings-
I built a Flash movie using the FLVPlayback component and
attached a .flv movie in its source. As far as I know the movie
file is not embedded in the timeline, it is attached as a separate
file for reference to the .swf.
I published the movie and can play the resulting movie, as
expected, locally. However, when I FTP the files up to my server
the Flash player object appears to load (on IE I get the "Click
here to activate this control" message) but nothing happens. I mean
nothing. No movie, no error messages, no "please wait, loading..."
nothing. I checked the local file security on the server in
question and everything appears in order, even the MIME types are
set correctly (as a test I put another .swf file in the same
directory on the server, called it directly and it loaded fine; my
movie in question simply does not play). This makes me wonder what
I'm doing wrong in the publishing part of my Flash process. Why
would it play OK locally but not on my server? And why would
another .swf file play from the same directory and not my movie
file? Again, I can not find any errors to speak of, I viewed the
source, tried hardcoding the paths to the movie and the swf for
testing and still nothing. Did I miss a chapter in publishing?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

OK, this is getting crazy.... so I started over, again. I
imported the video into my Flash movie, Published it and it ran as
expected locally. Since my website is using ModelGlue framework for
ColdFusion, I decided to try and eliminate as much doubt as
possible so I put my files (html, swf (Flash movie and skin) and
F4V) onto the root of my site:
http://www.cfsnap.com/cervicalTractionDevices.html
(notice I'm not even using a .CFM page, straight up html)
Now the movie seems to appear but the status bar has been
running for about 10 mins, as if it can't find the actual F4V movie
file.
So I tried to access the swf file directly and get the same
result, the flash movie appears but the movie (F4V) does not.
So as to rule out my own insanity I uploaded and tried:
http://www.cfsnap.com/chart-and-graph.swf
which works. Except that chart-and-graph.swf was built in
CS3, my movie files were built in CS4.
For grins I'm upgrading my Flash player right now. The
installer is forcing me to close my browser so I'll post again as
to the success or failure of this action.
Thanks,
Rich

Flash videos showing locally, but not on my site. help please

Hi,
I converted several avi's to flash, I then inserted the FLV
file into and html file in dreamweaver.
The flash files will play locally, but not when i upload them
to web server. Check it out here please
http://kdsi.org/kds/demo.html
please check the demos above to see what i mean. I just get a
blank page.
Anyway to insert video into the page like youtube? (instead
of the "demo video" button have the video embedded and just click
play to play it. without using the popup like i did.)
thank you.
thanks

Hi,
I am sorry i did not get what you mean with the last
sentence, but generally, this may be a path problem, you need to
check your FLV path and make it meet the path on the server not the
local machine.

Swf works locally, but not on server

I have an issue with an xml-driven swf file. It plays fine when I test the site locally, but not when it's uploaded to a server. Here is a link to the page. There are many posts on this and other forums describing the same problem, though I can't find the right solution. The only thing it has convinced me of, is that it is probably a pathing problem. I purchased the file online, and instead of one swf and one xml there are about ten of each to make it work. In addition to this there are about 40 .as files. (all this to make it "easier" to customize). Since I plan to use this banner rotator on multiple pages, it will be very unconvenient to upload all these files for every page I make. I checked with support for this product, and was told I could make a flash directory, only duplicating the xml-files for each new page and linking the xml back to the swf-files. Otherwise the support answer was very short and unhelpful. I have renamed every path in the xmls so that it should be right. As I said, the file works locally, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have posted in adobe forums before, and I have alwas found helpful and kind responses.
Thank you,
Siri

They're all uploaded to the server, it is also possible for me to dowload them from there. When i run the main swf file through flash player debugger, I get this message:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/xml/abrMain.xml

So I guess it can't locate the xml folder (since it is not there), but I don't know how to change the path. I can change it in the xml, pointing to the swf, but how do I do it the other way?
This is the main xml-file:

the abrMain.xml tells the swf what files it shold use, and where to find them, but where do I tell the abrMain.swf to find the xml? Maybe this is an issue for product support instead, though they only answer short and cryptic.

Make sure your server is configured to serve .flv files. Ask
your host if
there is a mime type set up for that file extension.
