Live SWF Does not autoplay

I have googled and searched for anyone that may have had this problem but cannot find anything so I am asking here.
I have a flash object embedded in a page as such.
<object width="640" height="377">
<param name="movie" value="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="src=rtmp%3A%2F%2F203.9.149.28%2Flive%2FC1&autoPlay=true"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="377" flashvars="src=rtmp%3A%2F%2F203.9.149.28%2Flive%2FC1&autoPlay=true"></embed>
</object>
However when the client loads the page the stream does not autoplay, even though the option is set. It begins to buffer the stream and it says 'Buffering' but it never starts. If I click the pause button then hit play, it will start after a short buffering period.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, this seems to be Flash Player issue. I have downloaded and installed FP 11 beta and after removing it and getting the latest official version FP 10.3 back, SWF autoplay starts to work again....
Hopefully this will be fixed before FP 11 launch...

Swf does not publish properly, plays fine in preview browser.

I have scoured the internet looking for a solution, and I work with a team of professional Flash developers... Nobody can figure this out.
I have a SWF I've been trying to publish to the web. It's inside an AP div tag. The swf plays fine in Preview mode. When I publish, however, the swf does not play in Safari at all, and will only play in Firefox upon hitting "refresh." After this, the swf will load and play just fine, UNLESS YOU CLEAR YOUR HISTORY, at which point the same problem appears: you see nothing but a black, blank box.
"Yeah, I've heard that before, it's probably your javascript, blah blah blah..." Well, wait, just wait. The swf DOES load in both browsers. It just doesn't play. In order to get it to play, you have to right-click and select Play. I cannot, for the life of me, get it to just go ahead and play automatically when publishing.
But the REAL riddle of all this is that the swfs USED to play just fine until a few days ago. I've done nothing different in my publishing. I have rebuilt the page from scratch to no avail. And I haven't found anything on the internet that addresses this question directly. I've had a couple of developers try and mess with the code for me, and THEY can't get it to work, either. I am pretty much begging for any possible help on this, so thanks in advance.
I am a design-oriented user; I understand code only conceptually. If a code solution is the only solution, please be specific with where and how to implement the advice.
The actual page in question is here:
http://www.thecolodinproject.com/Media/Trailers/Trailer%2002_Lure/Trailer_Volume_02_Lure.h tml
I will be checking back at this page often to look for replies; I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Nope... As I said, the swf USED to run just fine, and still does in certain browsers. I haven't messed with the SWF at all since that time, so there isn't any logical reason it should be different now.

SWF does not appear when returning to browser tab

I got an odd bug report on a web app we are developing.
The swf appears fine for the most part, but is the user has multiple browser tabs open, moves to a differnt tab and then returns to the tab with the swf, the swf does not appear until the mouse scrolls over the swf.
At first glance it would look like the swf is not being redrawn until the user intereacts with it (we are doing a good amount of mosue polling). It it as if to save memory the browser stops displaying the image, and does not redeisplay until we explicitly redraw the stage.
Has anyone run into a similar situyation? I am not sure where to start with this.
Some potentially relevant apsects of the swf:
Most of the objects on the stage have chachAsBitmap set to true and we are applying a gradient mask to most of the stage, so there is a good amount of processing going on and I know thishas caused some other redraw oddities.
The frame rate is set to a very slow 4fps, and movie is controlled from a timmer.
Any leads would be appreciated.
The tester reporting this was using Chrome 9.0.597.107 and Flash player 11.3.300.26

Thank you very much! I was not aware of the ThrottleEvent, I'll try forcing a redraw when I recieve it.
Reading the documentation, it says the frame rate drops typically to between 2 and 8 fps. If I am running at 4 fps, with the swf still throttle down and back up? After reading this document http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c36cfb8137124318eebc6-8000.html I assume yes, but do you know if that is the case.
Hopefully the client will let me up the minimum player version to 11.2
Thanks again

I need help moving my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Enterprise. I’ve tried two routes unsuccessfully. I install the CD, it does not autoplay. I execute Autoplay.exe at the root directory, I am welcomed, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the Install/Explore choices window, with the Install button already selected, I click the Photoshop button, the CD spins, and nothing happens. In the 2nd attempt I execute Setup.exe in the Photoshop directory, and nothing happens at all. I’m never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

Swf does not load the images on the web

I made a swf that works perfectly on my computer.
The swf does not load the images, cal with the buttons, when I use the swf on the web.
I think the problem is due to the fact that the web changes the path of the file, that is called with the following variable:
var ImmageUrl: String = "MyFolder2 /" + MynamePic + ".jpg";
The path is C:/MyFolder1 "(with the swf)" /MyFolder2 "(with the pics)"
Any hint ?
Thank you.

When you place an swf in a web page, any files that the swf loads have to be targeted as if the swf is sitting in the same folder as the html page. If you have the swf in a different folder than the html page, then you need to adjust the paths for the files it loads so that it acts as if it is in the html page's folder.

HP Mediasmart Live TV does not work on Windows 10

HP Mediasmart Live TV does not work after Windows 10 upgrade. Error says: Your TV tuner cannot be accessed because it is being used by another application. Please close any programs that might be using it and then try again. Although I am able to open the settings and scan for channels, and I see the channels being found, but still no luck watching after the setup is done. My HP Laptop has a built in HP ATSC/Analog TV Tuner card. (AVerMedia maybe?) I suspect that is may have something to do with the fact that the driver does capture at the same time you are watching (Allows you to pause and then continue watching live TV, also has the ability to scedule recordings) Unfortunatly Windows 10 also removes Windows Media Center, so I can't check with that software, is also possible a remnant may be left behind to support Windows Media Center that is conflicting with something else. Also would be nice if they would fix the installers so it does not uninstall the software, then fail to re-install it. (All without any display or error messages, so your left scratching your head trying to figure out what happened.) I managed to get the rest of MediaSmart to work, although it looks like the internet veiwer may not connect to anything anymore. Looking for an updated driver or installer, or patch that would work for Windows 10. As far as I can tell on the internet HP MediaSmart Live TV is supposed to work on Windows 10.

OK, More information. Installed Media Portal 1. This works with the tuner card without additional modification, so this appears to be some kind of issue with the software. Media Portal 1 does install a different version of Direct X, I don't know if that could have anything to do with it, but HP MediaSmart Live TV still comes up with the same error and will not run.

Why does Captivate 6 create mp4 files that the swf does not playback clearly?

Captivate 5 created a .swf which suited my training purposes very nicely. There were swf files in the library, embedded in the (rather large) .swf that I asked the students to run. Now it seems that Captivate 6.0.1.240 won't do that. Captivate 6 creates external mp4 files for the video portion (audio is separately recorded mp3 that is imported to the finished demo video slide) and they look terrible when the .swf runs them. Those mp4 look fine on their own but the .swf must resize them to properly fit with the TOC on the screen.
The HTML created when I make the .swf looks fine but it does not all fit on the screen as does the .swf so I don't like it and don't want to use it. Thanks, in advance, for any replies and suggestions.

Hi llstewart,
I assume you are launching your program from C drive. Are any
components of Captivate stored on the remote drive? (I am thing
your user profile, are you the only person who accesses Captivate
from that machine?)
Does this happen all the time?
What I have noticed in my own network is that there are
periodic "dropped" connections on the network. I have never figured
out what it causing this, but Captivate does not like it. (Every
once in awhile if Word or Excel are writing to a file on a share,
they will become thoroughly corrupted too.)
The problem with Captivate is that it needs a lot of a
computer's resources and takes what it can get. It also seems to
write to a temp file a lot (while a capture is taking place) an
only "binds" it up when the user stops and ends the session. The
only thing I can think of is that during this process there is a
inturruption in your network.
Sorry I couldn't fully answer your question.
I would try (if you can) loading the software on a machine
that is not on the network and try to do a series of long captures
and see if the problem persists.
I work in a large network and I do not have the problem, but
I have also installed the software myself and made sure of the
installation. I also make sure the program I am recording is local
(whenever possible). Additionally, do you have problems with any
other programs and corrupted files?
Again, sorry I don't have a quick answer.

Server 2012 cluster - virtual machine live migration does not work

Hi,
We have a hyper-v cluster with two nodes running Windows Server 2012. All the configurations are identical.
When I try to make a Live migration from one node to the other I get an error message saying:
Live migration of 'Virtual Machine XXXXXX' failed.
I get no other error messages, not even in event viewer. This same happens with all of our virtual machines.
A normal Quick migration works just fine for all of the virtual machines, so network configuration should not be an issue.
The above error message does not provide much information.

Hi,
Please check whether your configuration meet live migration requirement:
Two (or more) servers running Hyper-V that:
Support hardware virtualization.
Yes they support virtualization.
Are using processors from the same manufacturer (for example, all AMD or all Intel).
Both Servers are identical and brand new Fujitsu-Siemens RX300S7 with the same kind of processor (Xeon E5-2620).
Belong to either the same Active Directory domain, or to domains that trust each other.
Both nodes are in the same domain.
Virtual machines must be configured to use virtual hard disks or virtual Fibre Channel disks (no physical disks).
All of the vitual machines have virtual hard disks.
Use of a private network is recommended for live migration network traffic.
Have tried this, but does not help.
Requirements for live migration in a cluster:
Windows Failover Clustering is enabled and configured.
Yes
Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) storage in the cluster is enabled.
Yes
Requirements for live migration using shared storage:
All files that comprise a virtual machine (for example, virtual hard disks, snapshots, and configuration) are stored on an SMB share. They are all on the same CSV
Permissions on the SMB share have been configured to grant access to the computer accounts of all servers running Hyper-V.
Requirements for live migration with no shared infrastructure:
No extra requirements exist.
Also please refer to this article to check whether you have finished all preparation works for live migration:
Virtual Machine Live Migration Overview

Placed .swf does not play correctly

I have placed a .swf on a page. When exported to pdf the movie does not play correctly. It plays correctly before being placed. I used flash cs4 actionscript 3 to create the .swf.
I have selected the highest level for pdf when exporting.

ok! I figured it out. This is what is happening. Apparently when you place a .swf in indesign and make a button on the page to show the movie when clicked and then export to pdf -- there is a time delay from the time you click on the button and the movie starts to play in a floating window. Its just a few frames of 24 fps movie but that is enought for whatever gaget that reads the movie to miss the first few frames.
So in effect any info in the first few frames is not read. So i had a stop on the first frame that was not being read. I put the stop on frame 7 and now it plays just like I had hoped.
I hope this helps anybody else out that has had a similar problem.

CS5.5 swf fine CS6 swf does not display in browser

I did a flash project for a client in CS5 and CS5.5. I have done periodic updates in 5.5 over the last year with no problems. I just did another update and now that I'm in CS6 I saved as a CS6 .swf. But when I upload the index.html file to the server I do not get the swf. I get a whitebox with the title page the the player securuty message. I then created two index.html files, one with the CS5.5 swf and one with the CS6 swf, uploaded to the server ( site server) and I get the same thing, CS5.5 isplays and CS6 does not. I looked at the embed codes and the only diference I see is the CS6 calls the Flash 15 player. I'm up to date as far as players go so I tried to change the 15 to player 11 ( thats the palyer the CS5.5 swf calls) and I still get the same result.
below are two links to the files, can someone see if there is another issue here causing this as I'm lost.
http://goldenfilms.tv/indexGOOD.html - works fine ( swf was created in CS5.5 )
http://goldenfilms.tv/indexCS6.html - DOES NOT DISPLAY ( swf was created in CS6)
anyone?
R

yes, you're using problematic embedding code: <param name="swfversion" value="12.0.0.0" />
open your fla with cs 5.5 or cs6, whichever you want to use. publish an html file using flash and test with that html file. if there's no reason to check for flash player version, don't tick "detect flash player version" in the publish settings. if there is a reason to check , tick it and specify the required player version (and pick a version that currently exists).

Swf does not work

I used coffee cup web vide player to convert a movie to a
flash file. Everything works fine on my computer but the uploaded
html page does not run the animation... it loads fine the player, I
can see the buttons but when I press play nothing happens... anyway
the swf should work just for loading the html without even press
any button.
If I test the file on the ftp site it also works fine.
Can anybody help?

Swf does not play in IE

I have a client who wants his logo in flash. I'm using swfobject to include the swf, but it does not play in IE8 unless I specify compatibility mode.
The site is here...
     thefinancialtap.com
What am I missing?

I'd suggest you get rid of all the IE conditional statement stuff and only use the single <object>, IE will handle that just fine... with or without swfobject.
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
            <param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
            <param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>
According to your DOCTYPE this validation service agrees. Validate your page here:
http://validator.w3.org/
Notice what is says about the first (IE targeted) <object>.

Imported .mov (or .swf) does not function

Greetings.
My company created a flash video that I need to pre-pend to
my .swf as an introduction.
I tried to import it into the library but when I did, the
movie started behaving differently once I put it on the stage. So I
tried to export as a .mov, then import to the library. Again, it
does not behave the same way.
Try it yourself. Download the movie here:
right click here and
choose "save as"
Then watch the movie. There are little green people in the
movie. They start floating towards the center and form a grid. Now
import the movie to your library. Put it on your stage and watch
the video. The number of little green people is less. Some green
people stay stuck against the edges. The grid is nolonger formed.
Help?
I'm using Flash 8.
-Matt

Hi Tim,
Thanks for share file. I insert these swf file in PP2003 and PP2007 but was not able to reproduce the issue.
If you can share Published output (please share complete published folder) and the presentation in which you are seeing this issue, then it will be easier for me to look into the problem.

SWF does not play after publish.... OS compatibility bug?

I have embedded SWFs that will not play once the Presenter file is published. They appear to be "frozen" on the first frame.
Here's the setup:
The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
They are not Captivate files.
PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64bit
BUT, I can open the same file on another computer with this setup, and it publishes just fine.
The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
They are not Captivate files.
PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
Microsoft Windows Vista Business
The only difference appears to be my OS. Does anyone know of any bugs with Presenter in Windows 7?
UPDATE:
As I type this, literally, I got a notice that there's a Presenter 7.0.6 Update. So I went ahead and installed it on the Windows 7 box. Republished the Presenter course, and wouldn't you know it... the SWFs are now playing!
The patch says this: The Adobe® Presenter 7.0.6 update resolves Adobe Presenter's compatibility issues with PowerPoint 2010 and some important issues identified in Adobe Presenter 7.0.5 (Although the patch site doesn't bother providing us with a list of what those important issues are! Thanks Adobe, you rock.)
--- Well, it fixes MY issue for Windows 7/Presenter 7/PowerPoint 2007 too.

See the updated within the post. Installing the 7.0.6 patch was the fix.
