How to get Flash exe to play before video on DVD-Rom

I have created a DVD, in Encore, with links to PDFs. Of course, when they click on the link to the PDF, it tells them to play the disc in their DVD-ROM player. For the computer side of the disc, I have created a Flash file that looks exactly like the DVD menus, except it will open the PDFs. When I put the DVD into a computer, it always opens the DVD video first. I would like it to open the Flash exe, first. Opening the DVD video will probably confuse the user since it will tell them to play the DVD in a computer DVD-ROM player, which they already are playing it from the PC. I have an Autostart file. Is there something else that I need to do, to get the Flash to play first, or is this a setting on the computer? Thanks for any help you provide.

Use autorun.inf file burn it with your cd/dvd
File contents
[autorun]
open=flashfile.exe
icon=autorun.ico

How to get flash audio to play when published to godaddy

I'm trying to move all my iWeb websites to Godaddy, but can't get flash audio to work playing my mp3 on the site. With iDisk it's easy, just install the flash player in there, but how do I get it to my godaddy server and write the iDisk address into the widget code. How do I do it when using godaddy as the new host?

Download the folder of assets for your flash player from iDisk. Get there from the Finder Go menu - iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
Drag the folder onto your desktop and then upload it to the server using an FTP app like the freeware Cyberduck or your hosting service's file manager.
Enter the new URLs to the files in snippet code.

How to get flash banner to play back on iphone

Hello,
I have website (basic) that i created with a flash rotating banner. Banner works fine on all computers but won't play on iphone. I'm aware that there are limitations at this point with flash and iphones. How are webdesigners creating rotating banners and the like that play on iphones? Can this be done in flash cs3? thanks, Owen

Well you are on your way to success then, GOOD JOB!!
Here's the simple, easy way to get this going:
Download swfobject ver 1.5 here (my site):
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/swfobject.js
Let's just put all your Flash files in the the same folder to simplifly things during testing... later you can move them to any folder you want, just remember that the paths to those files then need to be changed to be relative to the Web page that your .swf file is on, not the physical location of the actual file.
Practice in a brand new html Web page......copy and paste this into the code view, or copy and paste into NotePad and save as file type .html
Be sure to put the swfobject file, the Flash .swf file, the .mov file and this html file all in the same folder during testing.

Edit to match your .swf and .mov file names and change dimensions to suit.
I've purposely "turned off" swfobject by giving it an in-correct file name "swfobject_off.js"... so initially it will NOT work..result is you will see your "alternate content", the .mov.
Once you can confirm that your alt content is working, edit the swfobject file name to "swfobject.js", removing the _off part.
Now your browser will find that file.. swfobject will try detect the Flash plugin, if it finds it, it will
so.write("flash");
rewrite the div id=flash with the Flash content and violla... you'll have your Flash banner and iPhone users will have theirs!
The best of both worlds!
Best of luck!

Thanks again for you help. I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes. Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad. I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs. Anyway, long process but it worked. Thanks again.

How to get flash player on my ipad 3 ?

How to get Flash Player on my IPAD 3 ?

You don't. APple and Adobe don't play well together. Adobe never made a version of flash that met apple's requirements, Apple was never happy with what Adobe made so Flash is not natively supported. YOu can look for browsers that support flash, such as Puffin, Skyfire, iSwiffer and others.
There likely won't be much growth in this area since Adobe has ceased all production on mobile flash so it is in essence, dying technology....however as with anything, it'll be a long drawn out death that'll likely take years for it to totally go away.

How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano? It comes up with the message "This device not supported". Strangely my Iphone IS recognised. The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

How do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc?

how do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc, one after another?

Having just looked at the website, I agree its sparse in information.
I have used VLC for 7 years when I bought my last Mac.
Its my default video player and plays 95% of what i throw at it. It plays large HD files smoother and more reliable than any other player.
Yes It will play QT and yes it has a useful playlist feature.
Look at the feature page: VLC Player

Does anyone know how to get a movie to play on the apply TV that you rented?

Does anyone out there know how to get a movie to play on the Apple TV that was rented through Apple TV?

It's not going to show under purchases because it's a rental. You have to go into settings - iTunes - check for rental.
Note: a rental will disappear once it's expired (after 24hrs or 48 hrs depending on location)

I am having trouble getting Flash media to play on my Hubpages

How to get FF browser to play Flash?

Hello
I just updated my QT Pro to 7.2 and strangely now Firefox and
Netscape Navigator (both latest) browsers won't display or play any
Flash on our site. I get nothing or a quick flash (no pun intended)
of the QT logo...
I've tried to go to Firefox, prefs, file types, manage, but I
can't seem to add or find any files except adobe pdf. How do I
rectify this in FF and Navigator? These browsers played flash fine
until I updated to QT Pro 7.2.
Thanks
KB

Thanks for your follow-up. I tried it on my new Mac Pro. I
had been getting Flash to play normally. Then, perhaps due to an
update of FF, it stopped and started displaying the QT logo with a
question mark. I reinstalled Flash Player 9 this morning, and
things went back to normal. Then later in the day Flash went back
to the QT logo and ?. I tried more reinstalls of FP 9. Tried
trashing Firefox and working only with Safari. Tried your idea of
upgrading to QT 7.2. No luck. BIG DIFFERENCE: I am trying to use QT
Player, rather than QT Pro. I guess I'll try that next. Will post
results.

How to get Flash Player 10.1 r53 to work with Mac OS X 10.6.4.

I have the latest version of Flash Player on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard computer but I can't get videos to play. I've read in Adobe comments that Flash Player 10.1 is not working on 64-bit systems (which is mine). How can I get a version of Flash Player that WILL work on my Mac?? When I try to play a video from youtube.com it says I need to upgrade my Flash Player and to get it from Adobe (which I did but the 10.1 version doesn't work!!! I'd appreciate any help I can get from anyone who can provide a solution. Thank you. Dave McCanna

You will also need to specify what browser and version you are using.
You will also need to give a little bit more info than just "does not work".

How to get audio clips to play at site but not actually download?

Would like person to be able to listen only to audio clips but not to be able to download clip to add to their iTunes library. In other words, am selling an audio product, and while I'd like people to be able to hear samples at my site (built with iweb), I don't want them to retain clip. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated!

Stopping people from downloading anything that's published to the internet is virtually impossible.
I would recommend that you first edit your files so that you only have about a one minute clip online....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/AudioFiles/Import.html
Dragging you files onto the iWeb page is not the best way to present them as a large percentage of PC users won't be able to play them. The Wordpress standalone flash player is still about the best way to play audio and you have to know how to get into the source code to be able to download the files....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/MusicPlayers/FlashPlayers.html
Or use a flash jukebox....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Music-Movies/Flash-Audio-Jukebox.html
For the increasing number of people using iPhone/iPad you can use this dual player....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Music-Movies/Wordpress-Flash-HTML5-Audio .html
or have an alternative page using HTML5 players.....
