HTML Embed tag with Autoplay not working with MP4 file

Hi,
I've added this embed tag for my MP4 movie:
<embed src="myMovie.mp4" width="502" height="309" autoplay="true" scale="tofit">
It's about 40 Mb big - so I obviously want to start playing as soon as possible so viewers will not wait for a long download. Problem is - it seems to ignore the Autoplay tag - resulting in waiting for a long time seeing the QT logo, and then starts when it's all downloaded.
Is that because it's an MP4 and not MOV?
Do I have the tag wrong?
Alternatively - is there any way to add a progress bar to show the download progress (aside from doing it through Flash)?
Thanks.

Thanks,
While it might be outdated - the "embed" tag worked on both IE and Firefox. I've tried this new code and for some reason it only works in IE, but not in Firefox. I don't know whether I should revert back to the "embed" tag or figure out what would make the new code universal to both browsers.
Regarding the file itself - I've closed in in a container of MOV in QTPro - and will soon upload it and check it. However, I've tried to re-export that MOV again with the "fast start" check marked - and it bounced the size up from 40 Mb to 267 Mb! I'm still trying different methods of compression - but not seeing good size/quality results. The original came out of Prism Video.
Thanks.

I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash player on some of my favorite web sites. Is there any alternative that will work on I-pad instead of flash?

I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash Player on some of my favorite web sites! Is there another alternative to watching these site options on my I-pad?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

Robohelp 9 with patch - Not working with IE10

Hi,
We have a problem with webhelp generated from RoboHelp 9 when viewing with Internet Explorer 10. We can't open a topic on the left or open a search result, until we either :
A) Resize the window
B) Resize the splitter between contents and the content pane on the right
C) Open the dev tools via F12
We have installed the patch provided by adobe for existing webhelp generated by RH9 at the following address :
http://abak09.abaksoftware.com/AbakWeb7700/Extras/Help/EN/
I have also tried to install RH10 and generate the project again, but the same issue occurs.
I don't know what else to look for, the problems are what the patch was released for, but it is not working in our case.

We are reproducing with Windows 8 Pro 64bit, with Internet Explorer 10 (Update version 10.0.3).
I see on your website the snippet "Topics not opening in IE10.". On our web server, we add the IE8 compatibility tag for our web application to work correctly. I have created a new site without this tag and the fix is working.
Thanks a lot for your help

BaCopyFileProgress with callback not working with D11.5?

I did a project last year using D10 & Buddy API 3.76 with baCopyFileProgress (callback handler enabled) and everything worked. I’ve done other projects since using D11.5, Buddy API 3.76 and baCopyFile (no callback) and everything worked. Now I’m updating last year’s project with the callback and it locks up (the callback is never called) both with D11.5 + Buddy API 3.76 and D11.5 + Buddy API 4.05 (demo). It locks up even if I just recompile last year's project with D11.5. I’m in the process of ordering the upgrade to Buddy API but the demo xtra isn’t working, I have my doubts registering is gonna fix it. Anyone else having trouble (or not) with D11.5 + Buddy API + baCopyFileProgress?

the help files still won’t open on XP and I’d bet the system copy animation and progress callbacks are related.
The help files don't open because I think the Director development team changed some mechanism internally and neglected to tell anyone. I don't think this is related at all to the callback function not being called or the copying not working when it's enabled.
FWIW: in order to open the Help file, I place the xtra and its help file in the same directory (\Adobe Director 11\Configuration\Xtras\Scripting\Buddy API\) and add a Director file to the same folder with the following code in it:
on prepareMovie
tPath = _player.activeWindow.filename
tDelim = the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter = the last char of the moviePath
delete the last item of tPath
tPath = tPath & the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter = tDelim
OK = baOpenFile(tPath & "Buddy API Help.chm", "maximised")
-- put "exists:", baFileExists(tPath & "Buddy API Help.chm"), RETURN, tPath & "Buddy API Help.chm"
_player.activeWindow.forget()
end
This file has a single sprite channel, is 1x1 pixels with no titlebar visible. I save it as "Buddy API Help" and I now have an entry under Xtras -> Buddy API -> Buddy API Help

Autoplay not working with iphone 5

Autoplay just stopped working recently with my iphone 5. It has worked normally for 1.5 years. Tried on my 2nd computer and autoplay worked once then stopped working on that computer as well.

AirPlay has worked great for the past few months from my iPhone 4. After upgrading to iOS 6 I now get "An error occurred loading the content. Try again later." However my wife's iPhone 4S running iOS 6 works fine... I can't figure why it doesn't work for me anymore. Is it a none bug?

C6-00, GPS Tags in Pictures not working with Picas...

Hello,
I can display where I made the foto on the phone's display, but the EXIF Data of the picture doesn't show the GPS-Data, so I cannot display it inside Picasa.

Go to camera settings, check if you have enabled geo-tagging. If I remember correctly, it is not enabled by default.

Scrowing with touchpad not working when pdf file is opened in one of the the browsers tabs

When I have a .pdf open from one of the browser's tabs I am not able to scroll with my touch pad in the rest of the browser's tabs. Once I close the tab with the pdf everything is working fine. I using Firefox on my Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop.

Hi NSHS,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
Hopefully this helps!

"Open With" CS3 not working for JPEG file

Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
Thanks,
Mark

After a long search I found the answer:
To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
Click the file Types Tab.
Wait for the list of file types to populate.
Single click on the jpeg file type.
Click the Advanced button.
Highlight open and click the edit button.
Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
A few OK's and you are done.
AND ANOTHER THING .........
After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
Start / My Computer
Click Tools at the top of the screen.
Click folder options .... then the file types tab
Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
A couple of OKs and you are done

Profile manager sign with cert not working with signed cert

Hello all,
I purchased a Code Signed Certificate from DigiCert (Who I have many other certs with)
I downloaded it and imported it into profile manager, it origionally told me that "This certificate could not be used to sign a profile" but after a restart that error went away, but now when I click the checkbox to enable signing it tries for 5-7 seconds and then just unchecks the box, but does not show an error.
If I change back to the self signed it works fine.
Has anyone had success with DigiCert Code Signed cert? or with this issue with another cert company?
Thank you,

Solved.
Got it working by calling DigiCert support.
They had me get the cert from Firefox in Windows and transfer it and apply their own intermediate certificate.
Thanks for Digicert support for such a responsive support team.
