Inflated SWF Flash file cannot play in IE but Firefox & Netscape

Hi all,
I'm trying to do some file protection by inflating a SWF
Flash file.
Once the Flash file is inflated, the filesize grows but does
not add any physical data bits to the SWF file.
After that tweaking, the SWF file cannot play in IE 6.0
(Internet Explorer).
However, it still plays perfectly well under Firefox &
Netscape.
I know IE use Flash ActiveX while Firefox & Netscape uses
Flash plugins. Is it the reason for such behaviour?
Any advice to make the inflated SWF file to play in IE
please?
Thank you very much.

Your object tag (which I.E uses) is for embedding Director

Running a .swf (Flash file) in JMF

Hi,
In my application i have to run .swf(Flash file) file. I have to do it using Java API. Can i do it using JMF.If so, how to do it. Is there any other API available to run .swf files in java.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I don't know as much as most users here, but I have put up
about 18 different photo galleries on my DW site (almost ready to
be published).
I had to go into each code page where I wanted the gallery to
appear and paste the swf etc code. And it had to be pasted into the
code page not the design page.
Now, when I click a link to the specific page and look at it
in the design view, all I see is a large grey object. I can go into
the page properties and look at it that way, but I usually just
view it in my browzers. This Flash album is designed to work in the
browzer, not actually on the DW design page unless I specifically
click something.
This may not help you, as I said, this is my first site and
photo album dealings.
Good Luck

Video files of type *.flv and *.f4v are considered Flash files, how play them (win7)

video files of type *.flv and *.f4v are considered Flash files, how play them (win7) are files in file windows explorer?

Not sure what you are saying; are these local or online files?
Adobe does not longer provide Adobe Media Player to play local files; use a 3rd-party player like VLC Media Player.

Flash files not playing in Captivate correctly.

I have Flash files that make up a course that play correctly in Flash but are breaking in Captivate once I import into the Publish folder. There is a button that remains active without being clicked and will not close as it is supposed to, creating obvious issues in the course. The button does not have these issues in Flash, only in Captivate.
Has anyone had an issue like this or any thoughts on how to fix it?

Is the SWF published for AS2 or AS3? Captivate only accepts AS3 nowadays.
The other likely issue is that perhaps you have inadvertently used a symbol name for your button, or some of your AS code functions/variables etc, that happen to be reserved by Captivate for its own use. These types of conflicts can cause issues.

Disable .swf (Flash File) Generated as an Attch in Email Delivered byIBOT

.swf Adobe Flash file is generated when i am scheduling an IBOT to the user , In the IBOT i am delivering an Answers request and i can access the answers request and ATT288***.swf File is generated as an attachment , How can Disable that file from generating as an Email attachment.
Thanks
~Srix

Hi Srix,
All OBIEE chart objects are generated by Corda Popcharts. Corda generates charts using Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash file formats are .swf (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF'>Shockwave Flash</a>).
Does the report you're emailing have a chart object in it? My guess is that your report does have a chart object and that is the .swf attachment you are seeing.
If you do not want the .swf attachment, you can change the output format to pdf or other formats in the iBot.
Hope that helps!

PSE 8 .mov files cannot play

Hello. I just upgraded my PC to Win 7 64bit, clean install. I then added Itunes / quicktime. Then I installed PSE8 and restored my catelog from a backup. All is well except I cannot play mov files within PSE8. My point and shoot takes HD vid clips with the mov extention. When I try to play the video in PSE8 a window pops up stating I need to install quicktime. Prior to Win 7, I had Vista 64 bit - and no problems with PSE7 or 8. They all played videos fine. I have reinstalled quicktime several times, without success for playing the videos. I can play the videos fine outside of PSE8. Quicktime is set as the default player. I am stumped and upset about this. I searched this forum and the knowlege base. I found someone else with a similar issue, but no solutions. Any suggestions?
When I intalled itunes, there was a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version. Would this matter? I can't remember which version I had on the Vista 64 OS.
Jason

Solved:
Added PSE8 as an exception in the Windows DEP area. Rebooted. Now works fine.

Cannot play flickr videos on firefox, works on other browsers. using mac 10.8.4 with latest versions of firefox and flash

Firefox is my preferred browser but it drives me nuts that I cannot play flickr videos... have upgraded to latest version of firefox for Mac... have new Imac with 10.8.4... also upgraded to latest version of flash.. nothing I do seems to work... help

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Itunes song cannot be played because original file cannot be found? but i just downloaded the song 1 week ago from cd

I imprted music in to my itunes librabry a little over a week ago, today I am trying to play the music and I am getting a locate button telling me that the original file cannot be found? What do I do?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
OR
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the entry for the missing track from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find a download link for your track there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Center swf flash file

This seems really basic but how do I get a flash/swf file to
center on the page? Nothing I've tried seems to work. Align
commands affect how it aligns with text but I am using a large area
with no text to the left or right. I just want the flash file in
the middle of the page and can't get it there.

Hello,
You can put the flash in a container and center the
container.
<div id="flashwrapper"> ...flash... </div>
CSS:
#flashwrapper {
width: 500px;
margin: 0px auto;
Adjust the width in #flashwrapper to the width of the flash
object.
Take care,
Tim

Swf flash files are not displaying neatly within table cells.

The latest version of Firefox (3.6.12) The website I have design now shows thick lines underneath the flash files. URL Below. The table of pictures should be neat, instead the cells in which the flash files are contained are increasing in height and breaking apart the table . This does not happen in previous version of Firefox, Internet Explorer & Google Chrome.
Is there anything i should be doing different when inserting flash files into web pages that have complex tables? Or is this a problem with Firefox?

Add a rule object { display: block } to the stylesheet. An object is an inline element by default.

Cannot play netflicks movies with firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OS X

I update the silverlight plugin and I still cannot play any movies.
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Browser: Firefox 4.0.1
Silverlight version: 4.0.60310.0, last update is March 10, 2011
This use to work in previous versions prior to FF 4.0.

n Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.
Note: This doesn't work for me since the update to 23 and I should have the choice of Reader or Acrobat plugins. Firefox is trying desperatelt to FORCE users to use their crappy PDFJSViewer, which doesn't handle multimedis or forms PDFs.
As to the NPAPI and security risks, that's blown WAY out of proprotion. There are antivirus companies trying to sell their products to Mac users (who will NEVER need them) and they use this "urban legend" to bolster their case.

The flash player plugin is correct installed, but firefox keeps asking to install it and then says not possible

I have installed flash player.
The test site of Adobe says it is correct. When I switch it off and do the test the test says "flash player is switched off, press to switch it on" when I dos so the test says that is corectly installed.
When I open the plug-in screen there is no adobe flash player, but only shockwabe flash player, but switching this one on and off had the above mentioned effect.
I have checked the registry (since I could not find anything about flash player in the program list, software in configuration, nor in program files and found that in the windows/system32/macromed/flash directory are the files flashutil9b.exe and flashutil_10uPlugin.exe and some other files, which gives me the idea that flash player is in effect installed.
Nevertheless a flash file in my website keeps asking for the plugin and tells than that it cannot be found.

An example of my website is http://www.vangelder.nl/example
My real website is protected, but the example shows the problem.
I hope you can give the solution.
The big problem is, that since I have these problems (on several computers, working on XP and Vista) I suppose that the visitors on my site wil have the same problem.
I heve been working hours to find out what the problem is, installed different players, used different formats, searched the internet for a solution and I don't want to export this problem to the visitors of my website.

Cannot get my Flash file to play on my website - pls help!

If you go to the website: www.rileyforjustice.com you should see my problem. The white square is my embedded flash swf file, but as you can see it isn't playing. In Flash, when I test the movie, it plays beautifully. When I put it on my webpage, it's just blank. What bothers me is that I embed Flash swf files frequently with zero problems. The only difference is that this is a video. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
The swf file is properly uploaded to my server. I've attached the swf file for reference.
The html is:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="320" height="240" id="FlashID" title="TDR">
                <param name="movie" value="intro2.swf" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
                <param name="swfversion" value="9.0.45.0" />
                
                <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
                
                
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="intro2.swf" width="320" height="240">
                  
                  <param name="quality" value="high" />
                  <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
                  <param name="swfversion" value="9.0.45.0" />
                  <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
                  
                  <div>
                    <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
                    <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
                  </div>
                  
                </object>
                
              </object>

If you look at both the file you attached and the file on the server, they are blank white screens. So the problem appears to not be with the embedding process, but with the file itself. Does the file happen to load something dynamically that you have neglected to include/upload? What you should do is get the swf to display properly via the address www.rileyforjustice.com/intro2.swf without the web page first. I'm pretty sure once you figure that out it will play in the page.

What is the maximum size of a .swf flash file that can be created for DMM

Please help,
I am running DMM 5.2.1 and was wondering what is the maximum size of a .swf file that can be created and play SMOOTHLY on the screens (screen dimension 1366 x 768px).
Kind regards.

Hi Nicholas,
You can refer to the content creation best practices documented at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_2/dmd/best/practices/guidelines.html#wp1168116
As you can read there:
- if the SWF file size is greater than 500KB, you may start to see high memory consumption on the DMP.
- regarding resolutions, the SWF can be up to 1920 x 1080 when animations within the SWF are small and are restricted to a 640x480 region.
Regards,
Marco
