Frustrating Flash Object Embedding

#1 - Error Message - If "The tag name: "embed" Not found in
currently active versions." is true, and I believe it is; then why
does DW CS3 insert this invalid code in my document?? Code
Attached. Note I have reset user preferences; and I have a
Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js at the root of public_html.
#2 After parsing thru the forum, I found alternate code. If I
use this code, then the flash does not appear at all. Code Attached
I have never had so much trouble simply wanting to put a
flash document centered on a background page in my life. I am
wondering why I gave up Go-lIve and the previous version of flash
and spent money on this. I even saw a posting in the forum that
said don't use DW to check a document. ...................WHAT?
Please help.
Thanks

So that the Flash is also seen in Moz/FF. The <embed>
tag is required for
these browsers.

Don't use it. Let DW do its thing. And follow the directions.

CFWindow pops up behing Flash object

Hello,
I'm using CFWindow as a link on my web page, which the user
can click to view some information. Also, I have a Flash object
embedded in the center of this same page.
Whenever the user clicks on the link, the CFWindow opens up
BEHIND the Flash object. Is there any way to ensure that the window
will open up above all other objects on the page? I've looked
around Google but couldn't find anything.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Azadi,
That's strange. I followed closely what you posted and made
sure that I fixed my code to look as closely as possible to what
you have, but still no luck. There must be something else on my
page which is blocking the CFWindow from coming up above the Flash
object. If anyone else is having this problem, maybe they can also
be of help. Anyway, here is my code. I've put the CFWindow below
the Flash object just like you have it:

How do I get the Play, Stop, Volume controls to appear in my embedded Flash object?

Hello,
I want to show .swf or .flv videos on my website--like
youtube.com. I want to use the standard Flash Player object
embedded in a web page, however, I cannot seem to find the exact
params that make the standard controls appear (ie, Play, Stop,
Pause, Volume, etc). I just want to show a video and have the Play,
Stop, Pause, Volume controls visible at the bottom. What do I need
to do to get these controls to appear?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Sorry! It's AS3. A typo on my part but, thanks for answering the post. This is the correct answer that worked for me. Also, the answer came from Kglad in the AS3 forum
Assign your component an instance name (if it doesn't already have one), eg flv and in the frame that contains that component add:
flv.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,removedF);
function removedF(e:Event):void{
flv.stop();

Embedded application/x-shockwave-flash objects will not display

4.0b9 on Windows XP
I just get a white section where a shockwave flash object should be, and in all the occurences I've found it's when the flash object is embedded. Youtube works just fine, though...
In the "white section" I can right-click and get the options for Adobe Flash Player 10, but I cannot actually choose any of the menu options.
In some cases, I can choose to display the flash object in another tab, and then it works just fine. Typically an embedded youtube movie clip acts like that that, but not always.
In an example, I see only a white section where the shockwave flash object should be visible in Pichfork TV - http://pitchfork.com/tv/
When I open the page information, in the media section, list of URL's, I find an URL that is both grey and italic, and describes this URL as type Embedded:
URL - http://pitchfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/player/DelveMoviePlayer.swf
Type - application/x-shockwave-flash
I assume this URL is grey and italic because it is not loaded or opened in the pitchfork TV site.
This is the same problem with most embedded flash objects, and I really hope someone can help me! I've browsed aroud the support forums and tried a lot of different tips, but to no avail.
I have of course uninstalled and reinstalled both flash player and shockwave from adobe's site, and made sure it's not the active-x version for IE that's installed.
My add-in manager claims that Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 is installed and enabled, and the release is the latest available according to adobe.com.
I have also tried to open FF in secure/private mode, but same problem in both modes.
Just to check, I tried to open this site with IE8, and there it displays correctly (and I also remembered why I don't ever use IE8, haha...), so apparently the active-x part of shockwave/flash works...
BR, Torgeir

OK, so now I've tried again to open FF in safe mode again, but the problem is still unsolved. Same problem in safe mode.
The hardware acceleration in the flash player is set to disabled long before I posted this problem.
I didn't know that Pitchfork had such a special flash player, but the problem is the same on any sites. Just chose Pitchfork because it's an English site. Bad example then...
Here's a better example: NME.com:
http://www.nme.com/musicvideos/my-chemical-romance-sing/832454
Here I only see a white space where the flash object is embedded (if it really IS embedded, I dont't know how these things work). But I can right-click and get the dialog for Adobe Flash Player 10 properties (such as settings and global settings), and if I'm lucky to hit the start button (wich I don't see), the flash object starts playing, and I hear all sound but see no image.
I open the page info menu, and here I find in the list of media URL's the link to the flash object, described as an embedded object in the NME site:
URL: http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/RSFVcmvHJ4/autostart=n&includeAll=y&soundoff=n&vidId=832454&videotype=hq
Type: application/x-shockwave-flash
It's grey and italic in the list of media URL's, and I assume that's because it's not properly loaded.
But if I copy the URL from the media URL list and paste it into the adress field of a new tab, I can both see and hear the flash object without a problem.
This is exactly the same issue with local sites that have embedded web radio stations. Cant see the object, and have to be quite lucky to hit the start button. But by stepping via info for site and copy the URL to the flash object and paste it into a new, empty tab, I can both see and hear whatever was supposed to display in the original site.
Any help would be more than welcome! So many of the sites I use most has embedded flash objects, so if I cannot solve this I have to find another browser. I REALLY don't want to, because otherwise I really love FF...

Can a macromedia flash object be embedded in BSP?

Can a macromedia flash object be embedded in BSP?

Sure. You can even upload the flash object itself into the mime repository right along the BSP application. Basically you just fall back to normal old HTML to embed the Flash Object. Here is an example that I just created a few minutes ago:
<%@page language="abap" %>
<html>

Embeded Flash Object and onkeypress event

In a jsp page,
<body onkeypress="javascript:keyPress(event);"...
//some codes to embed the Flash object
1) If the focus is on other part of the document, not on the
embeded Flash object, the Contrl + Enter key stroke will trigger
the onkeypress event;
2)But, if I click on the embeded Flash object (not the Flash
Object has the focus), the Contrl + Enter key stroke will NOT
trigger the onkeypress event;
How to solve this issue (#2)?
Thanks

Embedding a youtube video in Powerpoint 2010 via a shockwave flash object

We have a user, has found recently, when he adds a 'shockwave flash object'
in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and adds a YouTube link, next to the
"movie" field within the properties of the shockwave flash object, it
will not show the YouTube video window (with the play button etc.) and will not
play the video.
The user thinks the current version of Adobe flash is causing this (version:
14.0.0.145) and would be grateful if any staff from Adobe or anyone else has any
ideas if this version does cause this problem and if there is a way to resolve
it, or if a new release of Adobe Flash player will address this and if so when
it will be released.
Thanks,
James

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Can there be buttons/links on or in flash object?

Hi, I have no idea how to ask this question properly. I am only designing this, not making it, so simple answers for me would be good, but also technical answers that I can pass on to the flash person.
On my home page, I am going to have 3 images that switch out, each that need to have a "learn more >" link and a 1, 2, 3, and pause buttons.
My question is whether or not these image buttons/links can be placed on or embedded in the flash object. I read this is not possible and that buttons or links have to be separate from flash. Ideally if I wanted to place a "go" button on top of my flash image, that would be great.
However I have been told the only option is to make one side of this in photoshop where I have the buttons and then place that next to the flash image. My example of this would be the msn.com home page.
If further descriptions are needed I can post an example.

Your image hasn't loaded yet, so I'll describe what you should do. Chances are you will only need one set of buttons to manage everything rather than creating a set for each image.
If you want to convert each of these items into usable buttons, then select one of them, being sure that all its pieces are selected, then right click on it and select Convert to Symbol ( select it and in the toolbar choose Modify -> Convert to Symbol).
In the interface that appears, select Button (you could also select MovieClip, but for now, select Button) and give it a name that relates to its functionality in some way, just so it is recognizable by its name in the library. Click OK.
Do that for all of the items you want to turn into buttons. To make things easier to manage, you should place the buttons on their own layer in the timeline.
If you are handing this over to someone who knows Flash, they should be able to deal with coding the buttons to function the way you want.

HTML page with FLASH object doesn't reload upon a redirect

Am using: ECC 6.0 and ABAP SAPGUI development
Hi All,
I'm seeing a frustrating issue that i'm hoping others have seen and resolved.
Here is what i'm attempting and below that is the issue:
1) I have created a ABAP program in which i'm using the HTML viewer (class: cl_gui_html_viewer ) within a container that is on one of my ABAP screens.
2) I load up a web page on our (intra)network that displays an HTML page that has a nice FLASH navigation object. This navigation object operates as such - when a node is clicked it will go to another html page (on the same network) that will then parse apart what node they clicked on and via javascript submit a form in which I've defined a SAPEVENT for.
3) My ABAP program has defined the event handler for this sap event and calls the appropriate method just fine (ON_SAPEVENT). I am able to trap the event details and do some other things.
This is all working just fine, except....I want it to then go back to the first page (original page) that contained the FLASH navigation on it upon after the page that trapped the SAPEVENT is complete automatically. Easy? - that's what I thought...I tried several different ways to do this "go_back" on the html control, "show_url" (with the original URL)...even a redirect in the actual html page itself to go back.
They all DO go back to the first page, however my flash navigation object on that page NEVER shows up! It's almost like the frontend is thinking it is already loaded and will not load it again. I thought maybe I need to do a "flush" or some such - but that didn't seem to solve it. Has anyone seen this and resolved it or knows what this is? The thing is...I can completely exit out of the program - and the flash object will load just fine (but only after I wait a minute or so). What gives...anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Flash objects not displaying in Firefox (but works fine in Chrome and IE)

Well, I'm trying to embed a Shockwave Flash object into a website I'm building. It displays in Chrome and IE, but it doesn't show up at all in Firefox. It's just white space. Ive tried it on two machines, so it's presumably the code. Both the machines have Adobe Flash enabled... I'm not sure what the problem is. I've not worked with embedding Flash objects in HTML before, so, it's probably something really obvious. I just used the insert command on dreamweaver and it wrote the code that I'm using. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. Here's my code:
<pre><nowiki><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="99%" height="600" id="FlashID">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />

<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="the file path" width="99%" height="76.5%">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />

If you can't post an address for a page demonstrating the problem, could you check the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) and Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j) for any messages related to the Flash media? For example, does either console show that Firefox is requesting the SWF file? Does either show an error in content type or any kind of security message?

Shockwave flash object in Word doesn´t appear in PDF (Acrobat X Pro 10.1.4)

I have a Microsoft Word document with many shockwave flash objects linked to graphs. The Word document has macro that dynamically links these graphs (SWF files) to the shockwave flash objects. The graphs aren't embedded, they are linked because they have to be loaded when the Word document is opened.
In the Word document the graphs are loaded OK but when the Word document is converted to a PDF the graphs are shown completely blank.
Does anyone know why it happens and if there's a solution to this problem?

hi thanks Bernd, 2 questions:
Can Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do this (as well as Extended - from the product comparsion chart it seems so...)?
If the full version can, does the trial version also enable this - am not really looking forwards to paying for software & then finding still yet to be resolved..?
Thanks for this, others also interested on various sites will keep them informed.

Flash objects (images/buttons/etc) does not display on some PC's

I am trying to deploy an out of the box web application called the Mid-Tier, where some forms/pages in the application have embedded flash images/buttons/icons that do not display on IE despite the fact that there is Flash installed on these PC's. Most of the PC's are XP.
I suspect it is some of the security settings in IE. Unfortunately security options are disabled to end users so I cannot even get to see what these settings are..
This web application works perfect on some test PC's that have default browser settings and the same flash version installed.
The flash objects appear on these screens as white boxes instead of some control buttons and icons that should have been displayed.,. Hence these pages are non functional.
Any hints?
Joe

Hello David,
except the latest Flash Player you have also and the latest Java installed (Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.25.2 for Mozilla browsers) , check if you activate the plugins : [https://support.mozilla.org/el/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems#w_determining-if-a-plugin-is-the-problem Determining if a plugin is the problem], select always active.
see also: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins#os=win7&browser=fx23 Why do I have to click to activate plugins?]
you said : ''One guy said you could fix it by going Tools > options > content > make sure Automatically load images is checked (but there is no such thing on that tab in my Firefox????)''
not exist any more from 23.0 version and above (see : http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/) because of this : http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill , if you 1 (as a value) in '''permissions.default.image''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] you are OK (checked[v]).
also many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Inserting flash object

Hello All,
i am trying to add a flash object as i have done 1000 of
times before.
Opening the html on local computer works fine but as soon as
i upload
this to my webserver it doesnt work any more?
i see that DW CS3 addes a Jave Script while adding flash,
this is new
to me! could this be the cause of the problem?
I am running XP Pro, IE 6.0, and FireFox 2.0.
any help is appricated.

John has the right explanation. Here's some more info....
It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
several
years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
(Flash, Quicktime
etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

Background:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eolas

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
built into DW's
interface.

Flash content (embedded using SWFObject or using other methods) won't print

All Flash content embedded using SWFObject or using other methods won't print anymore, since version 3.6.4.
There is a blank square on the printed page instead of the object.
There was no trouble with previous firefox version.
I've got the issue with version 3.6.4, 3.6.6 & 3.6.7
I'm using Adobe flash player version 10,1,53,64 ; I've tried to downgrade to Adobe flash player version 9, I'd got the same issue.
I've tried from multiple computer and still had the same blank square.
Thanks for your help !

Having the same problem with our flash based design tool. For now we're recommending that our users use IE as it prints the flash objects fine. Would prefer to use Firefox, but that won't be an option until flash objects can be printed again (as they used to be).

Flash Object has no Publisher or Version in IE11 in Windows 8.1

Hello, I have been trying to get flash player to work, and have tried several avenues in Windows 8.1. I have tried enabling Shockwave Flash, tried disabling ActiveX Filtering, re-register the flash.ocx file, resetting IE11, and disabling/re-enabling IE11. Nothing has provided any help with this, but what I believe to be the issue is that the shockwave flash object literally has no information attached to it. No publisher, no version number.
Whenever I try to update internet explorer 8.1 64bit it says its up to date.

Another adobe flash help page tells me I have flash preinstalled, and that it is just disabled.
Basically this is all the conclusive information I've gathered. I am trying to find a way to update the flash object, but downloading flash player for windows 8 says I have it preinstalled, and I don't know whether deleting the flash.ocx file is a good idea. If anyone has had these issues or feels knowledgeable about what could be going on that needs to be fixed, please let me know. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Preston,
Firstly, you don't want to delete flash.ocx. Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE, flash.ocx is locked and you can't delete it unless you mess with the permissions, and doing so will render you unable to resinstall IE to get Flash Player back, short of re-installing Windows (or resetting to factory settings, depending on the system you have).
If you've performed all of the suggested troubleshooting steps and Flash content is still not displaying appropriately in IE, it could be that Microsoft is not identifying the browser as IE in the user agent string, which many websites use to determine which browser is in use and display the content based on the browser. Microsoft is continuously modifying the user agent string for IE and websites need to adjust how they identify the browser based on other features, not the user agent string. As a test, using IE, go to What's My User Agent? and post the results here.
