Images enlarge and movies play in iweb, but not when published

Everything works fine in the program, but when published to site or folder, photos are there, but won't enlarge. The movie thumbnail shows with the little movie icon in the corner, but clicking does nothing.

On all of your pages you have an image that appears to cover the photos preventing them from being clicked on.
Move it to the back via the Arrange menu or get rid of it.
How did you add the videos to the page? If you just dragged them onto the page or used the movie page then iWeb will have to upload them when it publishes the page and all will load when the page is accessed which can cause long loading time for the page.
Also thre are some files missing for the TV page as seen in the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page. Publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open it there. Check to see if the movies play OK (after you fix that overlaying image issue). If they do then the problem lies in the uploading of the files.
If those files are Quicktime then the viewers must have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to view them. See this page on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site for methods of presenting movies that will let all computers view them: Player-Showcase.html. See the list at the right for different players you can use.

SWF plays in preview but not when published

I have seen similar issues posted but none dealing with this
precise problem. I have two SWFs, one of which loads at the end of
the other. When SWF 1 is played back in Flash or when published in
HTML format, SWF2 plays as is should. When SWF is exported to
another program (e.g. Frontpage or Ektron, CMS), SWF2 will not
play. Interestingly, when SWF2 is exported to the other program on
its own, it plays fine so font support is not an issue.
I have also tried altering the level in the LoadMovieNum
script (0, 1, 2) as well as republishing both SWFs from the
original FLA file. So far zippo.
Any ideas??

At least on my side it only plays the first video and does not progress. There are twenty-five videos after this, they are all very short but they progress. Is this progressing for you? Perhaps it is my computer if so. Please let me know.
Thanks again,
Mark.

Ipod nano plays with headphones but not when plugged in to player

I have a nano 16gb 4th or 5th generation. It has worked fine up until about a week ago. It works if I plug in the headphones, but not when it is plugged into the car stereo or an iHome. Any thoughts?

If:
-you and your husband have the same generation iPod nano
-they both have the same latest software
-you tried the car stereo with the same iPod charging cord.
(with 32 pins connector I just wanted to make sure it is not the headphone plug)
this means that the problem is indeed with your iPod nano.
Since you also said that before last week everything worked fine, something must've gone wrong after that.
This could be software-related or hardware-related. Did you try to connect it to your computer? Does the computer recognise it? Can you still charge it?
If the computer does recognise the iPod it might be a good idea to 'repair' your iPod via iTunes.
Or try the Five R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/# (more or less the same for 4th and 5th gen)
If your computer does not recognise it, it probably needs to be repaired. But since it is 4th or 5th generation I guess the warranty is void already, and you'll have to decide how much this is worth to you or if you wouldn't want to buy a new one.

Load swf works in Publish Preview but not when published

Hi Folks,
I having a problem where im trying to load two 1mb SWF movies into my Flash piece. It works fine in Publish Preview but not when I finally publish. I get this error in IE:
SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
I have googled around and there is some talk online of a hack where by you get a timeout to overcome this. However im not so technical do I dont really know how to do this to my code in AS3. My code at the moment is below.
Any help would be much appreciated and rewarded with Karma
movieClip_12.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9);
var fl_Loader_9:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad_9:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9(event:MouseEvent):void
if(fl_ToLoad_9)
fl_Loader_9 = new Loader();
fl_Loader_9.load(new URLRequest("search.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader_9);
else
fl_Loader_9.unload();
removeChild(fl_Loader_9);
fl_Loader_9 = null;
// Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
fl_ToLoad_9 = !fl_ToLoad_9;
movieClip_14.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_10);
var fl_Loader_10:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad_10:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_10(event:MouseEvent):void
if(fl_ToLoad_10)
fl_Loader_10 = new Loader();
fl_Loader_10.load(new URLRequest("refunds.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader_10);
else
fl_Loader_10.unload();
removeChild(fl_Loader_10);
fl_Loader_10 = null;
// Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
fl_ToLoad_10 = !fl_ToLoad_10;

I think this is either a problem with my site preLoader or my external .swf Loader. I was checking out the bandwith profiler and saw something weird and I wondered if anyone could explain...I've added a picture. I have a blank frame on only my actions layer to export classes to and it seems that frame 2 is "bleeding" into frame 1. Could this be my problem? Why would this happen? Thanks

IWeb Videos and Music Play on iPad but not MacBook

Hi,
I have created a website on iWeb and everything plays perfectly on my iWeb. When I launch the site on my MacBook and my husband's MacBook Pro, however, the videos and audio clips do not come up, and they just are blank with a gray "Plug-In Failure" in place of the video. But I can play them just fine on my iPad and iPhone. We are both running Lion--is that the problem? Please help!
Thank you,
Adrienne

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? What version of iWeb and what browser are you using.

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Movie plays in iTunes but not on ATV2

Too bizarre.... I have the original 2 discs of a great German movie - Das Boot - which I converted (using Handbrake) into 2 separate m4v files and then combined (using QT Pro 7.6.6) into one file which saves as a .mov file. Plays fine using Quicktime (any version) and even plays fine in iTunes, but doesn't play at all through ATV2. If I highlight the movie in iTunes and then (under the Advanced menu) try to "Create iPad or Apple TV Version" I'm told that it's already in the correct format. I tried converting the .mov file to m4v using Handbrake and the resulting file (m4v) plays fine in iTunes and QT (any version) but in ATV2 the second disc part has no audio (but the subtitles have always been OK). I went to the Handbrake forum but nobody seems to know how to fix the problem or they simply aren't answering my questions. My final attempt to solve the problem is to export (using QT Pro 7.6.6) "Movie to Apple TV" but it's looking like it's going to take a few hours to convert a 3 1/2 hr movie file (about 2 GB) and I have my doubts that it'll even finish the conversion or that it will play on ATV2 ultimately. Does anyone have any idea what's happening and how I can fix the problem?

Unfortunately because it's a conversion problem from copy protected discs we are unable to discuss the matter under the Terms of Use for these communities.

Movie plays in preview but not playing in chm

I've tried several different methods of adding flash video
files to a HTML Help project.
I've added the files to the Baggage Files and the Multimedia
folder (at least I think they're in the Multimedia folder!!).
When I preview the help page in RH, the movie plays as
expected. But, after compiling the help, the page looks blank and
the movie does not play.
Any suggestions?

Images Appear On iWeb But Not In Published Website

As I'm working on a website page in iWeb 08, the images on one particular page are clearly visible yet when I publish the site, the images are gone and only appear on the page as little question marks. HELP!!!

Hi Elizabeth,
I'm experiencing the same problem at the moment... However my hypothesis are:
The photos might have names that are causing the problem (not internet compatible, thus using special characters or whatever) you could try to rename with something like 123.jpg put them back in iWeb and republish. The names may also be too long.
Or the might be in a particular non-standard format... What's the extension of the files? .tiff? .jpg? other?
Other possibility would be that they aren't publishing to the server (which would be the biggest problem I think)
Regards,
Cédric

Have two albums in iTunes that say can't find file location but they are on iPod nano and will play on nano but not in iTunes

I'm trying to play two albums using iTunes but they say the files can't be located and won't play. The albums are on my iPod Nano 3rd Gen. and will play there. Syncing my iPod and computer doesn't resolve the problem. How do I get the albums from the nano to the computer?

Hello, FayAnnR.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when iTunes indicates that a file can not be located.
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
If the media was purchased from iTunes, I would recommend deleting the missing media and either transfer purchased from your iPod or download them again via the third article below.

Using document.getElementById to change an element size works in iWeb but not when site published

I am trying to use an HTML snippet to construct a "popup" to show explanatory text on iWeb windows. This is the code:
<div id="divName"></div>
<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
#divName {
     border:solid 0px #000;
     text-align:left;
/*//]]>*/
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function mouseOver()
    var el=document.getElementById("divName");
                   el.style.width=400+"px";
                   el.style.height= 200+"px";
                   el.style.margin="auto";
                       el.style.backgroundColor="#ffffff";
          el.innerHTML="this is a bit of text, and this is some more";
function mouseOut()
    var el=document.getElementById("divName");
                   el.style.width=80+"px";
                   el.style.height= 20+"px";
                   el.style.margin="auto";
          el.innerHTML=" ";
                       el.style.backgroundColor="";
window.onload=mouseOut;
window.onmouseover=mouseOver;
window.onmouseout=mouseOut;
//]]>
</script>
This works o.k. when tested inside iWeb. When the mouse is rolled over the element it is enlarged, the background colour changed and the text displayed. However, when I publish the site the background colour changes and the text is displayed BUT the size of the element remains set to the size set in the "mouseOut" function. On one occasion after publishing it did actually work, but mostly it doesn't!
What am I doing wrong?
Incidentally, when testing under iWeb, the mouseOut function sometimes doesn't shrink the element back to its original size. Mostly it does, but when it doesn't the background has still been made transparent and the text removed. It only appears to be the height and width functions that are failing!

Here's how I started :
http://www.wyodor.net/Ajax/Ajax.html
But to avoid having to edit the page after editing the iWeb page, i figured out a way to do it with a JavaScript :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/Maaskant/How_To.html
The magic word is : unique word. Then replace it with your own code.
Then I advanced it a bit to this :

Video plays in swfiles but not when uploaded to website

Hi, does anyone have any idea why videos embedded in a swf
file play okay in the swf file or when tested as a movie on the CS3
stage, but when uploaded to my website will not play? I am
completely baffled by this.
My website link is at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafive/index.html
On the Bolivia and Chile page the videos do not appear once
the video is uploaded to my website. I have no idea why this should
be when the actual videos play perfectly well within the swf file
itself. I have put the encoded flash videos inside the same folder
as the swf file and uploaded everything, but no joy.
The swf file is 2.97 MB; not sure if that would present any
problem or not once uploaded
My video on another project plays fine at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafour/index.html
Can anyone cast any light on what the problem is with my
South America project?
Thanking you all..

Hi xchanin, thanks for your feedback. I dont quite understand
what you mean by this part here ... but if you do that process a
couple of times (with the same .mov file) you get the same .flv but
the name of your video is incremented by one each time?
Pretty well much I followed this tutorial
http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/flash/building-flash-templates/adding- video/
I put a FLVPlayback component on my Flash stage.
I encoded my videos in the CS3 video encoder and followed the
settings given in the above tutorial link. I did not resize or crop
the videos, I set the quality to medium and I gave my videos a name
prior to encoding it.
After encoding the film, I highlighted the FLVPlayback
Component and in the parameters found the content path and then
linked that to my encoded videos one by one. Then I saved my
worked, played it in the movie tester and then I exported my swf
file to my Dreamweaver folder, but I did rename my exported file
(it is not the same name as my Fla file). Could that make a
difference? I also put my Flv videos in the same folder as my swf
file and uploaded them to my server. I put the swf file on my html
page and then uploaded that to my server. My website shows the swf
file but the videos do not appear at all. However, the videos do
appear in the actual swf file when I play that.
I would be grateful to know if you see anything wrong with my
working process here. Could the renaming of the exported file have
caused the problem?
Thanking you.

Photo Albums showing up in iWeb but not in published site

I'm publishing to an FTP server using Transmit. The site address is chrisfitzgeraldmusic.com . All of the other pages publish perfectly, but the photo albums page has never published correctly. In the past, some albums have shown up, others haven't. Within the ones that showed up, some pictures were displayed while others weren't. Just today I tried to fix this by deleting all the albums and putting in a single iPhoto album which I also rebuilt. The album displays perfectly in iWeb, but shows up as a blank photo albums page when I publish it to the FTP server. Any ideas? I'm at my wits end.

For some reason not all of the files are getting uploaded. Publish to a folder on your hard drive and open the site with your browser to make sure the photos and albums are getting created as they should.
If you using iWeb's ftp client to upload to your server then try publishing to a folder on the hard drive first and use a 3rd party ftp client like the freeCyberduck or Transmit to upload the files to the server. This might help also: Old Toad's Tutorial #2 - Uploading only those published new or newly edited files when using a 3rd party FTP client.
If you are already publishing to a folder what ftp client are you using? If it's not Cyberduck give it a try. It's well thought of here in the forums.

How come my comments are visible in iweb but not on published site?

I published my site (after many frustrating attempts and publish errors) and had allowed comments. I made a blog entry and published to .mac and found out from a friend that that particular entry didn't have an option to add a comment. I tried to republish many times - I don't know how it happened but the comment option showed up eventually. I had the same thing happen again today so I tried publishing again but this time I tried publishing to a folder. Not sure if this caused the problem but now one comment on the blog disappeared and the rest are only visible in iweb and not on the published site - on the published site there isn't an opportunity to add comments where they used to be. Can I get the comments back on my site?
Thank you for any help.

Oh, rats. Do I need to remove the folder that I published to? I'm not even sure where to find it. I have republished successfully with the comments still in iweb but they don't show up on-line. I'd really like to get them back on if possible.

Comments show in iWeb, but not on published site (on Mobileme)

Does anyone know how I can get the comments I see on my blog entries in the iWeb app to show up on my website when published (I'm using Apple's Mobileme service).
They have always worked in the past, and I recently redesigned the site. I changed the theme from a predesigned one to the blank white one (and then designed my own look). As stated before I can see the people's comments in iWeb, but when I published all the previous entries (in the new design), the comments aren't showing in the archive page nor the individual entry pages. Is there a fix?
