HTML file won't play/appear

Hello,
Why is it that I cannot get my published HTML files to play?
The Flash files work fine, but after uploading the HTML version to
our CMS and then linking, the window that opens is empty. Does this
have anything to do with the javascript file that is created?
Thanks!

Hi again Bethanne
Yes, all the files Captivate creates and places on your hard
drive should also be copied to the server. And they should all be
placed in the same folder on the server so they may find one
another.
It's a bit like a house of cards. Take away any one of the
elements and the whole of it collapses.
Cheers... Rick

In Flash CS4 a generated html with swf file won't play swf

Using Flash CS4 and having the Flash plug-in ver 10 on my PC, the generated html file will not play the swf in the browser.
I noticed that the active-x javascript is now included in the header as well as the javascript portion in the body tag.
But it won't play. I get the typical blank window in IE with the "X" in the upper left corner.
I don't have this problem with Flash CS3.
Any ideas what may be going on?
Thank you.

I am having similar difficulty; mostly I am confused.
I want to open a flash video file in a frame within a webpage.
I have generated a Flash CS4 html and swf file. When loaded they play, but they play on a separate, full size web page, not in the frame where I want it.
I then generated FLV and F4V files but that doesn't work.
It appears that I need to insert the object and embed tags "for Flash Movies" in the html file.
Once I do that, do I go back to only putting in the html and swf files and create a link to the html file to bring up the video in the target frame?
What are the FLV files for?

After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
and the 2nd one is:
I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked. The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
On the system that has not been updated, go to:
MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders. Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location. Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal. This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up. If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

MP4 files won't play in mobile browser?

I have a media file, MP4, which plays fine on desktop browsers. But on the iPhone4 and on Android 2.2 mobile devices this media file won't play within the browser. I get a broken link where the embedded video should be playing. I am using proper object/embed tags per a previous successful attempt I made doing this and I cross referenced my classid to one that was posted online to make sure I didn't miss any syntax. What could be going wrong? Did I encode the mp4 incorrectly? If so, then why does a 3gp file that I rendered FROM the broken mp4 play within the mobile devices without a hitch?
Sincerely,
markerline

Are you sure you have Photoshop Elements 8 and not Photoshop Premier elements 8? I would have thought that MP4 files can be played in Premier elements (PE) rather than Photoshop elements (PSE). PSE is for photos and PE is for movies and videos.
Perhaps you could try installing the trial version of PE13 to see if anything changes. I am not into movies and all that so my answer is just a guess work.

HD movie and tv show files won't play in iTunes 10.6.3.

Just did a fresh install of Mountain Lion and for some reason now HD movie and tv show files won't play. I get a black screen.
Standard Def tv shows and movies are still playing fine though.
Oh and yes I already tried switching it to 32-bit mode via the "Get Info" screen. Same problem results.
Any suggestions?

I think I have the same problem. Every time I play some HD movies in iTunes the movie seems to be stuck and the screen black. If I scrub the movie forward I can see the picture, even captions, but I can't play them. I said some because there are certain movies that DO play. I mean HD ones, SD video plays fine. But I couldn't find any clue. It's not a matter of file size, neither a matter of resolution, compressio... I'll wait for an update (system and/or iTunes) and if nothing happens I think I'll dig a little more. This is no big issue for me since they ALL seem to play perfectly when I select AirPlay to my Apple TV.
I'll try checking tags

.3g2 files won't play in any media player

Hello.
Ever since we updated to OS X Mavericks, any old .3g2 files won't play in any media player on our iMac. When we go to play them, they play button in QuickTime just flashes from pause to play and then back to pause and and nothing happens. I'm not sure if this file type is becoming outdated and therefore is not compatible with the new OS X, but I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this.
Thanks.

Did you try VLC?

Wav files won't play in Firefox 22

Wav files won't play in Firefox 22. Previous versions of Firefox are fine. Other sound is fine. I have the latest mac OS X. Quicktime is set to play wav files. I have the latest version of it.
Is there a fix for this?
Is there any other plugins I can install which will play the wav files?

Thank you for your response Alice.
I checked about:plugins and I DO have audio/wav and audio/x-wav. It it QuickTime 7.7.1 I have.
In Firefox Preferences Applications Panel I do not seem to have the iTunes.Document audio/x-wav there, only the audio/wav and Waveform Audio.
Re the New Email Notification feature with my Webmail, this is not activated via a Firefox extension. I don't really know how it works but when I'm logged into my Webmail email account and a new email arrives, a wav sound is played to alert me of the new email. This has always happened with all previous versions of Firefox, just not since I updated to Firefox 22 but when I go back to Firefox 21, it works again.
I have previously asked about this with my Webmail company. They knew nothing of this problem. I have now asked them for a second time now that I know that it is only THEIR wav sound that won't play. Other wav files play OK with Firefox 22.
I do not know what is at fault - Firefox 22, QuickTime or the Webmail site but for the past few days I have frequently switched between Firefox 22 and Firefox 21. Each time the New Email Notification wav sound works with Firefox 21 and doesn't with Firefox 22 so that makes me suspect that somehow Firefox 22 is at fault.
But it is a mystery and I might be stuck with it - unless it disappears as mysteriously as it arrived with a newer version of Firefox or maybe even a newer version of Quicktime.
Thank you to everybody who has tried to help me.

IMovie Audio Files Won't Play when the File is Moved

I imported a lot of audio files into iMovie from my desktop and I set them out how I wanted them in my project. But as my desktop was getting too cluttered, I had to move the audio files into a different folder in my documents, but now the audio files won't play and a warning icon is on each audio clip. Is there a simple way to relocate the files, without moving the files back to my desktop and without having to set out my all my audio files all over again?

Besides the two files you mentioned in your post, you also need to upload YOUR .swf as well. Then you need to upload your music file/folder.
Also double check that the path to your mp3 is correct RELATIVE to the location of the Web page that you placed the .swf on, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../Sound/dreamsSound1.mp3");
This needs to be the path from the WEB PAGE to the mp3, NOT the path from the physical location of the .swf.
Once you have the pathing correct, it should NOT work when testing in Flash CS4, because the path to the mp3 needs to be RELATIVE to the Web page.
Best wishes and Good Luck!

Local files won't play on Windows 10

All of my local files won't play in spotify in windows 10, please help....

Hello:
How did you encode the music files? If you used iTunes to rip the music with make sure you have Apple Quicktime player installed and/or check for an update for Quicktime player. Does you music files play in any other music player? Also try to uncheck all music sources log out of the Spotify desktop app and log back into the Spotify desktop app, add music sources back again into the Spotify desktop app and see if local music files play now.
What Spotify desktop app version are you running?

SWF File Won't Play on Internet

I've been all over the internet finding the answer to my
problem. I have a website in which I've got two Flash movies that I
need to play. One works fine. I had purchased a flash template,
editted it, and published, no problem. The other, I have a photo
gallery template that I customized, but it won't play on the
internet, not even with the generated html file. Just a big black
square appears. Here is a url to the non-working one:
www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/ScottHambergArt.html
This is the html that Flash 8 generated. I did notice that
the publish settings in Flash 8 are set for "Default" and the other
Flash file that is working is set for "Flash CS4 Settings". When I
add that as a profile to the photo gallery, I get error
messages.I've got screenshots of all the settings in Flash, the
working and not working files below:
www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/WorkingPublishSettings.jpg
www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/NotWorkingPublishSettings.jpg
www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/NotWorkingPublishSettings1.jpg
This is the url to the working Flash file:
www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/index2.html
I might be giving way too much info, but I figure better safe
than sorry. And by the way, I'm really new to this (that's why I
get templates).

FLV files won't play on testing server

I've created a site with several videos on multiple pages. They play on my local computer but will not work when uploaded to my server. I get an error in opening the page and a "plug-in cancelled" message in the Activity window in Safari. Other FLV files play from other servers (even those I created and placed in other site files using the same method). I feel certain that something in my upload is causing the problem, but I cannot find any missing files or misplaced files on the server. NO FLV files are playing on the entire site.
A page in question is: http://www.hensondesigns.com/kpc/COMEDIANS/Guy_Branum-bio.html
(disregard the second and third videos on the page which are embedded from YouTube; it's the first video that won't play)
I've got the Scripts folder uploaded and the skin file within the COMEDIANS folder on my server.
Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong? I'm sure it's something simple but I have no idea.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Hans-G,
Thanks for checking the page to try to help. I apologize--I figured out the issue and didn't have a chance to remove my question from the forum. The issue was being caused by the files being on my server--somehow they weren't being found. I made an adjustment in Dreamweaver and they now work. Thanks again!
Is there a way to remove this entire post? I realize it will be of no help to anyone else, and I don't understand the problem and solution well enough to add details to make it helpful.

Swf demo files won't play in flash file on website

Using Captivate 4, I created a project and published to a folder (as Flash 8). The main flash file has 4 swf demo files that are supposed to play on one of the slides; I uploaded all the published files (swf, js, htm) into a folder within my website's CMS. Our CMS uses it's own flash player to play the file; when it plays, all is well except for the slide that is supposed to show the 4 swf demos--these aren't showing up at all. If these demo files are in the same folder in the CMS as the main flash file, why can't it find them to make them play on the slide?
here's a link to the page with the file:
http://stage.lmc.simplicis.net/page/1/testlearningpoint.jsp (see link for "watch this video on city learning point")
--it's the slide with "City Learning Point uses..." that's supposed to play 4 swf demos on the right side of the slide, but they don't show up at all
Our website CMS is hosted and maintained by a vendor--if the issue is with the CMS, I'll need to know what to tell them so we can resolve the issue.

Looks to me like the issue is indeed your CMS. The flash content is loaded in a lightbox, which is most likely controlled by some JavaScript or ASP. My guess would be that the problem lies with the paths to the files. The swf file that the lightbox loads is referenced in your CMS so it knows where to get it - the thing is that most likely it is not played from the location where it's located but instead played from the location where the lightbox script is loaded. Since the 4 SWF's you have are not located there it won't be able to find it.
Also this lightbox approach isn't very good for this type of content. The demo is extremely small and the alignment of the Flash file looks weird. Instead just use the HTML file generated by Captivate and upload that to a directory in your CMS. Then change the link you have so it opens the HTML file in a new window and everything should work out just fine.
