Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Flash Player 10.2.152.32 won't play FLV file

I seem to be having similar problems to several others here.
I am running Windows XP, SP3, 32 bit on Dell Pentium 4, 2Gigs of RAM, 3.0Gig HD.
Since the March 8, 2011 update I have not been able to play FLV files. Previous to the upgrade, I was able to play these same files.
I have checked - Shockwave Flash Object (VS 8.0.24.0) is apparently installed and enabled, although it DOES NOT show up in the file list (that I can tell at least) in the System32/Macromedia folder. It may be called something else perhaps? These are the files that show as updated on March 8, 2011.
Flash10n.ocx - Active X Control
FlashInstall - text file
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX - application
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX.dll - application extension
Files with previous dates are:
flashplayer.xpt - XPT file, install - text document - dated Feb 17, 2010, NPSWF32.dll - dated Nov. 20, 2007, and NPSWF32_FlashUtil - also dated Nov. 20, 2007.
I can play stuff from YouTube. I am able to see the Flashy thing turn on the link you supplied to others here.
My security is set to "Medium". I have had NO virus issues, and run a VERY tight anti-virus protocol with AVG, AdAware and SpyBot all active, updated either daily (automatically) or weekly (manually).
Should I uninstall and then re-install, so the SFO will be included, or is there a way to retrieve the (apparently) missing Shockwave Flash Object file on its own? This issue has now taken up my entire evening, and I am ready to PERMANENTLY delete Flash from my life!
Thanks,

Hi, you don't need to scream at me. I've been on the Forum 12 hours today and 12 hours yesterday helping users with their problems. This past week I had over 1,000 email notifications in my email account and 90% were from the Flash Player Forum.
And this:Let's try again..........arrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Please don't insult me and act like I don't know what I'm doing or talking about.
The Shockwave Flash Object is not supposed to be in the System32 ...Flash file location. It is never there. It is always in the addons of the browser, it must be since it is the Flash Player Control. Without it and without it being the correct version(which yours is not) Flash Player cannot work! I repeat, Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru the browser.
The fact that you have a 32bit OS doesn't tell me anything about what browsers you use. I have a 32bit OS, but I use IE6 on one and the other PC I use IE8.
I know you checked some of my posts, I'm not so dumb that I don't recognize my own writing.
Yes, you need to Uninstall and Install again, that is the only way you are going to have the correct SFO Installed.
If you'd tone it down some, I may give you the best way to do that in order to be successful in that.
However, it won't be tonight. Maybe you'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

C7: How to play .FLV files on Nokia C7

Can I ask how do you play .FLV files on Nokia C7? I searched for FLV player in the Ovi Store and nothing is returned, whereas on Android Market loads of FLV players are available.

I couldn't find an FLV player either. But you can download freemake video converter from internet. Its really a very good converter and I transfer my vids to C7 only after converting to C7 resolution because it makes the processor to do less work. If you transfer an HD vid directly to phone it will play fine but will cost u battery life. (more processor usage)

How to create a .f4m manifest files to play .FLV files

I typically use .f4v files for my on demand playback media files, however I converted a .mov to a .flv file... How do I create a .f4m and .m3u8 manifest file that plays .flv files? Below is the code I normally use for the .f4m and .m3u8 files. This works great with .f4v files. I also included my player code. What am I doing wrong? The only difference is I'm using a .flv that I didn't use the f4vpp cleaner on.. That shouldn't give me the parse error I'm getting.
022714.f4m is the name of my .f4m Flash manifest file. Below are the contents.

to create a file in appl server you have to use open dataset and close data set..
see the sample code
REPORT zanid_test MESSAGE-ID zz .
parameters: FULLPATH(128) obligatory lower case
                      default 'E:\usr\sap\put\file.txt'.
*you change the appl sever path as per your config.
DATA : BEGIN OF list_asc OCCURS 0,
        msg(300) TYPE c,
       END OF list_asc.
start-of-selection.
*---populating data
list_asc-msg = 'abcdefghijkl'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
list_asc-msg = 'faagoaagiagig'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
OPEN DATASET fullpath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
LOOP AT LIST_ASC.
      TRANSFER LIST_ASC-MSG TO fullpath.
      CLEAR LIST_ASC-MSG.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET fullpath.
now if you go to appl server , you will find that file in that specified path..
to create a directory yu can go to transaction AL11 and click the 'konfigurieren'button, you then you can specify the directory attibutes to create a directory
and to load a file from your loacl pc to appl server you can use transaction CG3Y also, instead of the abap code.
plz rewrad points if it helps you.

Nokia 5800 won't play flv files

I've had my 5800 for about half a year. My Software version is V31.2.101 (this is the most up-to-date version I can have according to my Nokia Software Updater)
For some reason when I try to play flv files (approx. 30-100mb), a completely white screen shows up with a "broken" flashplayer symbol in the upper left corner.
What's wrong? How do I play flv files on my Nokia?
I've read in lots of places before that the 5800 can play flv files straight out of the box. =/ mine can't
btw, I can play mp4 files, but it's a pain because I have to convert the flv files first
and I have Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 installed. (atleast that's what it says when I select a video and go to "Options" - "About application")

As far as I was aware, the 5800 didn't play FLC - it certainly isn't listed here:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5800_XpressMusic/
However, even if it was possible, it may depend on the way the FLVs were encoded - things like the frame rate could cause playback incompatibilities.

Playing flv files in Adobe Reader 7

I created some pdf documents using Acrobat 9 Pro into which I added links to streamed flv files. This worked fine with the video playing in the pop up box but when I put it on the web people opening it with Reader 7 could not play the flv and were prompted to upgrade to Reader 9.2 (which worked). Unfortunately I can't rely on people being able to upgrade and want to find a way fro flv files to be playable via Reader 7. I've tried creating them in Acrobat 7 Pro but couldn't get that to work. Does anyone have any ideas about why this doesn't work and what to do? Thanks

Your experience is better, than mine. I look after a website for a Electronics Servicing organization. I've created many PDF using Acrobat 3 - 7.0.7 (the older versions on OS9. I use OSX.3.9 on a G4-500 using 1.5 Gb of System RAM. And I uses OSX.4.5 on a PowerBook 17" using 2 GB of system RAM. Since switch to Acrobat 6 and then 7 I've never been able to have anyone view a PDF created in 6 or 7 Format. The File appears to be there and the file fize indicates it has content. Whether viewing on a PC or a Mac. If viewed on a PC all that is seen is a Blank page with no text, and if it had a graphic no graphic is shown. If however; the person on the other end happens to have Acrobat or Reader 6 they can view the Acrobat 6 Files. And If they have 7 they can see the 6 and 7 files as well as anything below. However; most of the PC viewers I deal with still use Acrobat or Reader 5. Its these viewers I find that can't view the files. I've noticed also that when you do getinfo on a Acro/Reader, or 7 File created on my computer that in the thumbnail preview, all you see is the Acrobat A symbol, or a Blank thumbnail. Opening in 7 they can be viewed. Opening in 5 (I still have a OS9 Drive and e.5.0.5 installed) all I get is a Blank page no text and no Graphics if any in the content. SO every since 6 and 7 have come out I've had to save, then optimize for Acrobat 5 in order for my readers to see the pdf's.

Where do large FLV files go on Mac OS Lion

Where do large FLV video files get stored on Mac OS, Mountain Lion?
Firefox stores small FLV video files (less than 10 minute long) under /Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<user's profilename>/Cache, but it does not store larger ones (longer than 10 minutes). I also increased the cache maximum limit to 350 MB and I still have the same problem.
Where those larger FLV video file go?
Please help!

FLV files are usually streamed and played by a dedicated Flash media player.<br />
Streamed files are usually not stored in the Firefox disk cache, but more likely in the memory cache and only that last downloaded chunk may be present.
It is best to use an extension if you want a copy of such a media file.

I use Perian, can't play .flv file on QuickTime.

Up until a month ago, I was able to copy video files from YouTube using Perian v1.2.3 (that's the last version they have). I have Mac OS Snow Leopard v10.6.8 and all of a sudden, QuickTime X no longer recognizes .flv video files. How do I get QuickTime to play .flv video files? I also notice I have trouble finding the same kind of files that I could use to open on QuickTime on my Safari browser using the Downloads feature under Window. I use Safari v5.1.7
If Perian no longer works, is there another application I could use to copy YouTube video files?

Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

Playing FLV files on the timeline in a secondary scene?

I'm currently working on a project where I mix animation sequences with short videos. My project also has two scenes and the FLV will be placed on the main time line of the second scene. The problem I am having is, if the movie is previewed from the first scene, or exported, the FLV on scene 2 won't load. the timeline on the playhead will just spin. I'm currently using "Load external video with playback component" as the method for importing the flv file.
I have already worked with this video multiple times in other flash files and have never had a problem loading the video. Is there a limitation to FLV playback in multiple scene movies?

The first scene doesn't contain a video just graphic animation. The second scene contains an flv video on the main timeline. When I preview, publish or export the video in the second scene won't load. And if I make the playhead visible it appears as if the video is trying to load but won't.
If I just preview the second scene the video will play immediately with no problem, but it won't play at all when if the second scene starts after the first. The way I have it set up is, on the main timeline of the first scene there is actionscript in a frame at the end of the animation that tells flash to gotoAndPlay the second scene.

Playing FLV files sequentially

I have three flv files that I need to play sequentially, one right after the other in the same location (box) in an html document.
I have segmented the video because of it's size. Does any one know how I would make this happen or where I can find some sort of tutorial that can assist me with this?
I also have another project in which I have 4 animations that I want to play in sequence but they are in different locations on the web page.
Can any one help me with that as well?
Thanks

there is an event that can be used to detect with an flv finishes. you can use an event listener or listener function to trigger the play of the next flv.
