FLVs won't play from CD on XP

Hi -
I have a Flash CS3/AS2 project containing swfs with FLVs. When I Publish the "START.fla" which pulls all the files together, I tell Flash to create a "Projector" for Mac and an "EXE" for Windows. On my (OS X) desktop this Projector thing works perfectly...swfs open from a menu in my GUI, the swfs reference flvs and the flvs play. The swfs are in the same folder as their flvs.
If I put this whole folder full of files over to the WinXP box (via shared folder), double click on the EXE - no flvs will appear. Everything "leading up to" an flv works - but where there should be a video there is none.
Moving on I burn the project onto a CD. When I open the CD on the Mac and find the Projector - I double click and it still works great. Everything flawless.
I put that same CD into the WinXP (SP3) box, find the EXE and double click. As I expected - no improvement, the GUI opens,the swfs can be launched from the menu, but no flvs appear. I get the swf that references the flv - but no flv. I even waited extra time thinking it would eventually happen. No.
Can anyone give me an idea why it should work on Mac and not on XP? Where should I look for the glitch?
TIA some expertise.

For those lost souls who found themselves on my path...
As far as why disc didn't work on XP.
When using Toast 9 (Mac) to burn CDs/DVDs -
-use Data / Mac & PC. (not UDF)
Then use Toast's own way of writing .inf files and including icons. No other app is required. everything is inside Toast under "More".
Also - files can be hidden from opposing platforms. Very handy.

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

FLVs won't play when fully loaded (but do play while still loading?)

With the new flash player (10,1,82,76), my FLVs won't play when they are fully loaded. Previous versions had no problems.
Curiously, they will play if I click the play button while they are still loading.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Well, I found a workaround. If I use myflvplayer.seek(0) before calling myflvplayer.play(), it will work since I am not allowing users to pause.
Lame.

Flv won't play in safari or opera???

I am trying to add a video to this site:
http://www.ld-ink.com/Millennium/index.html
The video plays in Firefox, IE, and Google Chrome.
It does not play for me in Safari of Opera.
Can anyone give me some assistance as to why this is happening? When I preview the page from Dreamweaver in Safari or Opera, it works. When I load it up on the server, and check it on the web in those browsers, it doesn't.
HELP!
(PS - there is no sound with this video).
Thanks,
PT

I searched what that was - and the answer is no. I added the video file as follows: Insert>Media>FLV>browse, etc... used the first skin they gave me.
I have no idea why those two browsers won;t play it, but they don't. I even installed safari on my pc , and it doesn't work, so it's not an issue with my Mac.

One song won't play from recently brought album, how do i get it to play?

Hi,
I just brought a album and all song play except one, it says my pc is not autherised but it is and have re autheriesed to make sure. It still won't play any idea??
thanks

Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Movie won't play from start to finish

I'm an idiot I know but I'm editing my first movie and can't find the answer to this in the online brochure. Here's the problem:
1. I've assembled all of my clips in the video track.
2. Have not inserted any transitions because I was having trouble with the "overlap" transition. "Add" button was grayed out.
3. Whenever I try to play the movie to see how all the clips work with each other, the movie ends at the end of the first clip. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!!! Can anybody help me out there?
I'd buy you a beer if you were here!

Carl and Sweet Polly,
You guys rock! That was it, I only had the first clip highlighted. When I highlighted everything the movie played from start to finish. Also, learned something new too. I couldn't get the overlay transitions to work so I rebooted, upgraded to os 10.4.11, upgraded Quicktime and now they work. Thanks for your quick response! I probably won't through my computer off the balcony for at least another day now! : > )

Full screen playback won't play from the playhead

Hi all,
I'm using I-Movie 11. When I try to play in full screen (either by using cmd+G or going through the 'view' menu) it will not play from where the playhead is. Instead it seems to start from random clips in my event. If I am already watching part of an event and then try to move to watching in full screen, this also happens and the playback jumps back to a random point.
It used to work fine and I don't have this problem if trying to view a project. Does anyone have any clues about why this might have happened or how I might fix it?
Thanks,
Jen

The problem was resolved just by restarting the computer. My son read elsewhere that the video player may have been trying to run in 64 bit mode while his older OS X is in 32 bit mode. Restarting seemed to reset it.

Track won't play from trackhead position

It just started doing this. When I move the rackhead to a position within the song and hit the play button, it goes back to the beginning and plays from there.
I must be doing something different but I can't tell what it is.
*sigh*

Ipod alarm won't play from playlists

So, I just recieved a brand new ipod from apple because my battery was not holding a charge. I cannot get the alarm to play from a playlist. The only option under sound is beep and that would never get me up. Any thoughts?

I know this is a silly question, but do you have a playlist on your iPod that you can select?
Otherwise the only option is the 'beep'.

After downloading newest android update video won't play from within photos.

After updating to the latest Android software, the video playback will not work and the error message "Can't play video" appears when trying to access video from within the photos section, they are visible as thumbnails and first frames. .. They can still be played back from the videos section but it used to work on both. This has affected all videos that are on the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks,

spoke to online help today, they told me to backup my phone carry out software repair using pc companion. it did nothing but wipe my apps, the problem on mine comes from it won't allow films to be downloaded to the memory card, it will however download to the phone, which is crap seeing how small the onboard memory is. i've submitted an email and no doubt in a week or 2 there will be another update to sort this. it seems that none of these updates are tested properely as when my xperia z updated once you lost loadspeaker till the came up with a patch file.
my xperia z1 will play vids but when i updated there was about 40gb from video unlimited saved on the memory card, which immediately came up out of rental.... which is a pile of crap seeing as they were bought films. lets keep fingers crossed this is fixed quick.

FLV won't play even in preview

I've inserted an flv file into my page but I cannot get it to
play under any circumstances. When I preview there is just blank
space where the video should be. After going to 'Insert Flash
Video' I chose 'Progressive Download Video', selected the file,
clicked 'Detect Size' and chose 'Auto play.' I've also tried
creating a swf file in Flash containing the flv video but I get the
same problem. The only place I've actually been able to view the
video is in flash. In the swf I created containing the flv video in
Flash, I can go to 'Publish Preview:Flash' to view the video. If I
go to 'Publish Preview:HTML', the page is blank. What am I doing
wrong?
-Beau

I figured out the solution. I installed at Apache server on
my computer, then ran the html pages containing the flv files from
the Apache server, and it worked. Apparently flv files on a web
page cannot play unless they are on a web server.

Audio won't play from the start of the slide

Good afternoon all,
I'm new at this and recently created my first instructive
demo. I recorded and have everything synching up fine but the audio
in two of the slides WON'T start the audio from the first words
recorded. The audio begins in the middle of the second or third
word spoken.
This only happens when I play the entire demo or from a
certain point in the demo to the end. If I play the two slide with
the audios indiviually you can hear my every word from start to
finish and if I play the audio ONLY I hear it fine also.
I have tried starting the audio a few seconds after the
screen being demonstrated starts, re-recording the audio, adding
silence in the beginning.........................anyone have any
suggections. I've done everything I know to do but start over from
scratch.........I didn't say that...........LOL!

My suggestion was going to be ensure the audio file starts a
second or
two after the slide starts, but seems you're already doing
that.
So if you've tried all those things and no luck, then I'd
recreate the
slide entirely.
Insert a blank slide, copy the background from the problem
slide to the
blank slide ('paste as background'), then insert the audio
and test it.
If it works as expected, then copy/paste any other screen
elements from
the problem slide, then delete that problem slide.
Helps?

I consolidated my music in iTunes and now my music won't play from anywhere on my pc

I consolidated my music in iTunes and now I can't play music anywhere on my pc

Are you saying that before the music was on your iPod and not in yur iTunes library on yr computer and now it is in neither place?
If so then
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
you will have to get other music from where yo obtained them before.
The problem was that you synced the iPod to other than the one syncing computer/library y can have.

Audiobook won't play from iPod

I just downloaded an audiobook (2 files). Both files will play when I launch them from iTunes. I can see the audiobook files on my iPod (music - audiobooks), but when I play them, the file looks like it starts to play but then closes after a second and takes me back to the audiobooks menu. If I attempt to play it a second or subsequent time it takes me back to the menu even quicker.
I created a new playlist and copied the files, but I get the same results. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks.
IBM ThinkPad Windows XP

I am having the same problem.. and it seems that from looking through all the different forums.. lots of other people are having the same issues.. yes.. i did everything on that page.. the 5 "r"s.. etc.. and my files are already have the .mb4 extensions.. The play in Itunes just fine.. show up in my IPOD audiobooks section (which is now in the music section for some reason).. but they don't play on the IPOD.. .. I posted this issue about 2 weeks ago and no one seems to have a solution.. and it seems that Apple doesn't really care.. Up until this book I was download 1-2 books a month.. but no more.. I will just switch back to CDs.. until Apple can solve this issues.. The book in question was "Simple Genius"

Video won't play from playlist or album

I have 2 music videos that play fine when started from video - put if I start either of them from playlist or album they come up and don't play.
Appeciate any assistance.

Thank you so much for getting back to me.
I've looked through the code and couldn't find any path problems as I put everything in a single folder and ftped the whole folder up. I'm missing something though. It works well on my home machine Off a jump drive and off the hard drive. When I go to load it up at school it doesn't play on my school machine or after I load it up on their server. I had an idea that I wonder if my school machine has some type of blocker on it that's not letting it play off the jump drive (which works fine on my home machine). I've loaded it up on the server and will check it tonight on my home machine to see If its some sort of school blocking thing. Other than that I'm stumped.
Here's the web page: http://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/DASV/00_DASVIndex.htm
