HELP!! White frame where Flash movies should be!!!

Can't figure a single reason why this is doing what it's
doing. Everything works fine before I create the projector.....but
once I launch it and test, all my Flash movies are just white
frames of the same size as the movies are supposed to be. No sound
or anything. Does the same thing on the Mac or PC side. I've tried
checking and unchecking DTS, etc. but I can't figure this one out.
My project is due TODAY....first time I've had this problem
before, ever.....HELP!!!

I thought about that (actually made that mistake with the
Buddy API Xtra), but I just now got it to work....seems as though
it doesn't like talking to a shared drive space between my Windows
and Mac partitions, even though it'll play just fine within
Director while I'm working on the project. I copied everything
over, all the directories, etc. to my Windows side, created a test
projector from there, and voila!
Thanks for the suggestion; I used to make that Xtra mistake a
LOT.

You Tube videos don't play. The site comes up, but a blank white screen where the video should be.

When I try to play videos from You Tube, I get a blank white screen where the video should be. When I go to full screen the whole screen is white. Originally the white screen happened on the expanded view only.
IE doesn't have the problem, but Google chrome and Firefox 4.0 do.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I downloaded a movie from itunes on my ipad. In the downloaded area where the movie should be, I only get a link to "iItunes Terms and Conditions", no movie. There is nowhere to accept the terms and conditions.

Help with making a flash movie...go to frame and looping

How do I make it so that in my flash movie when it gets to a
certain frame in the movie it skis to another frame? Where and what
is the action script? like when it gets to frame 150 i want it to
go back to frame 1 so it can be animation for like a animated menu.
anyone know?

If your movie contains exactly 150 frames, then you don't
need to write anything. It will loop automatically. If it contains
more than 150 frames, put the command 'gotoAndPlay(1)' in the 150th
frame.

Trigger events based on current frame of flash movie

I have a director project with qt video where actions are triggered based on specific times in the video (movietime and/or duration). I am updating this project to use flash video instead of quicktime.
For ease of development, and hopefully minimal coding changes, I'd like to keep that functionality similar, but I can't figure out how to capture the current frame of the flash movie sprite.
Can anyone help? or suggest a workaround?

I can't figure out how to capture the current frame of the flash movie sprite.
You were almost there. Try either of these:
put sprite("flash").currentFrame
-- or
put sprite("flash").frame

HELP! IE looping flash movies

My company's intranet home page has two flash movies on it
set to play once.
Some kind of Microsoft patch was initiated over the weekend
company wide and
now IE loops the movies. The source code has the loop set to
false but IE is
ignoring it. If you right click on the4 flash the loop is
checked.
Unchecking it fixes the problem but you have to do it every
time the page is
loaded. Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks
mark

I don't know why that is happening, but putting a stop();
action on the last frame should keep the movie from looping. It is
a hard issue to solve without seeing the problem first hand, but
since it is on your intranet that isn't going to happen.

Controlling where flash movie loads on a web browser

I want to have the index page for my site open with a flash
movie on top of the rest of the content of the page at a set pixel
distance from the top of the page and centered horizontally in
relation to the browser. I have been able to make this work with an
absolute location using CSS elements in Dreamweaver and the
equivalent of what used to be layers. It all works as long as the
position of the layer is absolute, and your monitor settings are
pretty standard. Otherwise the flash plays on the left:
http://www.iconoclastic.net/metaphordogs/index.html
When I try to make it a relative location, it moves to the
top of the browser. When I try to make it relative to a table, it
displaces the table content rather than playing over it.
Any assistance would be appreciated

White box where Flash should be

Hi,
I don't know if anyone could help me on this (I'm not the main programmer of our company's website) but just the other day we noticed that the main flash animation on our company's website (www.afhu.org) didn't display on some browsers, notably IE6.   It works on IE8, FF, Chrome etc. What the user sees instead of the animation is just a white box the size of the flash object.
I believe the flash lines from the homepage are as follows;

<div id="MainColumn">
    <div class="Column" id="LeftColumn">
    <img src="files/rothbergampitheater.jpg" width="478" height="478" alt="rothbergampitheater.jpg" title="rothbergampitheater.jpg" />
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Get Adobe Flash Player</a></p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("/sites/all/themes/afhu/flash/afhu.swf", "mymovie", "478", "478", "8", "#EEEEEE");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write("LeftColumn");
</script>
I've seen postings on the web referring to this but most seem older. I'm not sure if this issue has always been with us or is new. We haven't changed any code recently and I would think we would have seen it before but perhaps not. Can anyone tell me from the code above (or from our website, www..afhu.org) if the Flash coding looks 'correct'? Thanks $1mil. !

you must have some code adding swfobject.js to your html but other than that your code looks ok.
but it's an older version (1) of swfobject.   you might want to update to version 2 and see if the problem is resolved or, read about swfobject issues with older browsers and see if this is something that's been fixed with version 2.

Redirecting to specific frame of flash movie

Hi, im creating a flash website, in which the entire user interface is flash based, i was wondering if there is an easy way to set the site up so that if the user goes to www.example.com it goes to the home page, but if they type in www.example.com/page1, the flash video will start on the page 1 frame, and if they change this to /page5, it will go to the page 5 frame.
So far the only solution i can see is recreating the flash file to have the page 1 frame as the first frame, so when users navigate to the /page1 page, it will be a unique movie clip, starting on the page1 frame, and for every page have a unique movie clip starting on the frame corresponding to the page.
Any other ways to do it? maybe in actionscript, or html? I will probably set the site up in dreamweaver, but any solution that will work is better than recreating the movie for every single page.
Thanks

I have never worked with them, but you should look into using anchors in the timeline to see if that would be agreeable to you. If you search Google for "Flash anchors" you will probably find some info about them. It involves creating frame labels that you specify as anchors (in the drop down below the frame label textfield). Then, you can use something similar to normal html anchors to link to land at the frame.... www.example.com/#page1 (I have no idea if this is correct)

Can't seem to delete frames in Flash movie.

Hi,
I'm very new to Flash. I've imported an .flv movie into a job, on the stage. I want to get rid of a lot of the first frames, about 180 of them. Why can't I delete them using a right-click and choosing "remove frames?" Nothing seems to go. The movie's still starting at the same place all the time.
Thanks,
Peter

I think you are right. That is what happens.You can't "edit" an FLV file this way. The frames are deleted, but that just means you won't see the end of your video!
Generally it isn't a good idea to import the video to the stage and play it back in this manner it can cause memory managment issues and other stuff.
It is usually a better idea to use either the playback component or your own code to dynamically "stream" the file.
Also if you want to edit out the first 180 frames you should open the source video, edit it, and re-export to a FLV.
If you can't do any of the "best practice" things. You could embed the FLV in a MovieClip say myMovie and then use code like:
myMovie.gotoAndPlay(181);
or whatever. But the file size will still include the 180 frames of content and there are likely to be other problems when looping and replaying and stuff like that.

White box where spry menu should be

I posted this problem a short while ago where I have a white
box show up in place of a horizontal spry menu. However, it is only
in earlier versions of IE. Someone replied that I needed to upgrade
to Spry 1.6 which I did but I am still having the same problem. I
am using Dreamweaver CS3. When you roll the cursor over the white
box, some of the menu does show up but way over to the right. The
menu shows up fine (centered top) in Safari and later versions of
IE.
Also, in earlier versions of IE, my hyperlinks are not in the
same place where they are in Safari and newer versions of IE. They
are positioned relative and at %'s.
You can see a sample of both issues on the webpage:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Grey and white square where the photo should be

When I open a photo all I that comes up is a grey and white blocked square, if I switch it off of RGB color I can then see the photo, but then I cant save it as a JPEG... what the heck is going on?

In the Device Manager, which can be found in your Control Panel, you'll be able to find out which graphics card you have. Chances are, it's made by Nvidia or ATI/AMD.
Once you have that information, go directly to the manufacturer's website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver. (Note: Simply doing a Windows Update is does not guarantee you are using the latest driver. You must go directly to the nVideo or ATI/AMD websites to get the absolute latest driver.) After you update your driver, turn on Use Graphics Processor in Photoshop preferences. (via http://forums.adobe.com/message/4294508#4294508)

I created a web page in MS Word and saved it as html; it has lots of graphics; the graphics load perfectly in Internet Explorer but in Firefox there is simply white space where the graphics should appear

The web page is not live: I just load it on my computer. When I convert the .docx file to .html, the graphics are saved by MS Word in the usual folder as image001.png, up to image032.png.
I'm sure this is a trivial problem but I can't crack it.
Many thanks. RS

Does that "local" page work in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox?
If so, it might be a \ vs. / problem with the file path for those images.

Flash movie just has a white box when previewed

Working in Flash CS4
My question is when I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website. Files are available here to view

Hi,
I have taken a look at your .fla and seems your source file name is not matching with what is available(Bob_Dickson.f4v) & what is specified(Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v) in the Component Inspector panel. Either rename your movie from "Bob_Dickson.f4v" to "Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v" probably the easiest way or change the Source name for your flv playback component in Component Inspector panel to "Bob_Dickson.f4v" and re-publish the swf.
Hope this helps
Thanks!
