My websites wont play my flash files

I have 2 websites: gamereviewer and shishamafia. ive made 2 flash banners with adobe flash but when i try to play those files it just get stuck and my flash fails with an error. ,.. i will come back in a hour with a screenshot of the error so its easier for you to help me out thank you.

If the AVI files are "links" that feed off streaming content, it's possible they have all been removed on the respective streaming severs by the original source, depending on their age.
With that said, Flip4Mac is the Microsoft supported plugin to allow playback of Windows Media Content inside QuickTime. You can check your version & update if needed here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/windows-media-player/wmcompo nents
It's also possible they may be Divx encoded files. Requiring the Divx decoder plugin:

Growl & MacFUSE are generally not related to Media Files. ( Google their names )
Also, Give VLC player a try. There isn't much of anything it won't play ( actually, try this first. ):

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.

Don't know how to play a flash file

I downloaded a .FLV file, but Windows isn't associating that file with Flash. When I click it I get asked which file to open it with. I checked and I have Flash 10.x on my system. I don't know where on my system flash is located. I looked in the C:\Program Files\Adobe directory but didn't find anything there. How do I associate the file to Flash so I can play it?

Flash Player is a web player (browser plugin), not a standalone media player. You can use Adobe Media Player to play Flash files.

Premiere Pro CC won't play my Flash files

In older versions of Premiere (CS6), I was able to play Flash flv files in my movie sequence. I would download the flv files from iStock as comps and play them in the movie as placeholders until I was ready to purchase them. They no longer play in Premiere CC. What happened and how can I get around this without using an old version of Premiere?
Thanks!!!

Support for importing and exporting Flash files has been removed. Can't import FLV files

Playing a flash file in java

Hi all,
i need to play a flash(*.swf) file within my desktop application. can anyone help me with a sample code.
Thanks in advance
Ravisenan

Whoah! Does this mean that (by using this utility) you can play flash files anywhere you have Java installed? Because as I recall Macromedia's stuff is proprietary (i.e. not necessarily platform independent). For example, only Windows PDA's can play flash files. But if I can put Java on a non-Windows PDA and play Flash like that, I'd be interested to know.

Playing .exe flash file without flash player

Hi,
We have a .exe flash file generated from adobe captivate. If we have flash player PC,.exe will be played. If we don't have flash player on PC,it will ask for installing latest version flash player,if we give ok and click on .exe file again it will be played.But in installed program list i dont see flash player.Where is flash player installed? And is there any way to play .exe file without showing that message if we dont have flash player?
Thank you

No i dont see flash player in Add or remove programs. I don't know whether captivate .exe file have some inbuilt capacity to play itself. It is not problem. Our problem is we dont want that message for installation. Can we do installation of flash automatically and play once we click .exe file without showing any message or can we play .exe without flash?

Wont play the whole file?

ive noticed with some files, not all of them, quicktime will only play maybe a little more than a minute of a file, but other programs (such as mPlayer) will. any ideas?

Hi! Use MPEG Streamclip to "Fix timecode breaks" and then "Convert to MPEG" to repair the file. Then play the repaired file in QuickTime Player and see if it worked.

Passing a variable into HTML to play a Flash file

I'm trying to create a simple SWF file that can receive the name of a FLV file in the HTML file and play it since I have many FLV files. Basically using the technique of FlashVars. I've set the contentPath/source in the components to be blank, and set my actions in the first frame to be player.source = filename, as was instructed to do so in a Flash book I am reading. I then set the "filename" variable to a file in the same path as the web page in the HTML file, however, all I get is a blank Flash player skin. The FLV file will not load. I also tried setting the "filename" variable to load the FLV from a public website in the same domain and on another domain, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas on what could be wrong?   I am using Adobe Flash CS 4.

1) You mention that there are 3 locations that need to reference FlashVars in my HTML file, but I made only 2. Where should the 3rd change be made? Below is my code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0" width="640" height="480" id="flashvar" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
    <param name="movie" value="flashvar.swf" />
    <param name="loop" value="false" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="filename=file.flv" />
    <embed src="flashvar.swf" loop="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" FlashVars="filename=file.flv" width="640" height="480" name="flashvar" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
The filename=file.flv is located in the same web directory as the flashvar.swf file. Am I supposed to set the filename=www.mydomain.com/file.flv? Or am I supposed to set the filename=c:\directory.\file.flv?
2) I don't care if I'm using AS2 or AS3. I just need this to work. I thought I would post in AS2 since it would be more compatible with previous FlashPlayers. And for the record, I am using contentPath. My understanding is that the difference in this case would just be contentPath versus source. My actionscript on the first frame is: player.contentPath = filename;

Videos on yahoo and other websites wont play

Yahoo videos and videos from other websites won't play. I am thinking it's because of adobe flash player but I updated it and I still cant watch videos. Yes youtube works.
Speed dial isn't working right either. It's an add on. It wont let me add a website to the dial. already tried uninstalling and reinstalling this.

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Mp3 wont'play on 6111 - file format not supported

hi
i've just uploaded an mp3 file in the gallery of my 6111 phone.
i wanted to use it as ringtone, but when i try to open it, it complains "file format not supported".
the manual says my phone can play mp3 and aac, so what kind of mp3 will it play? i searched through the manual and the internet but i found nothing.
the file i've uploaded is an "ordinary" mp3, size 4,3 MB, bit-rate 192 kbps, stereo, 44,100 kHz and tag Id3 v2.4
maybe the problem could be the bit-rate?or id3 tag?
anyone knows more about it?
thanks everyone

Hi
I recommend formatting the USB memory stick and other devices connected to the TV using the option provided in the TV settings.
Usually such recorded files can be played only on the TV.
Also take a look to user manual page 70.
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/file/product/manual/5187/55VL900A.pdf
There is a list of supported file formats.
According to the Toshiba User manual following formats are supported:
Avi, mpeg-2 PS, MPEG-2TS, MPEG-2 VOB, mov, mp4, asf

Captivate 5-generated HTML wrapper won't play back Flash files (no error posted)

I am trying to play Flash content generated using Captivate 5.0.2.630. I can publish from Captivate (including electing to create an .htm) and the content plays/replays correctly when I preview it through Captivate (i.e., locally). I can also d&d the .swf onto IE (8 or 9) and it will play. However, no matter how I call the .htm (whether via a link or d&d or typed-in URL), if it's not local, the .swf does not play and I am not receiving any error message. I have tried IE 8 (32-bit) and IE 9 (32- and 64-bit), and I have tried on XP and Win7 systems. The result is consistent: I can play the .swf without problems; however, the Captivate-generated .htm does not seem to be able to start the Flash player/play the .swf. Any help will be most appreciated.

Oops. I totally forgot about that...
Thanks for the help!
(Doh!)

Imported .mov file does not play in Flash export

I have imported a .mov file as a background for a flash banner I want to put on my website. The exported flash file plays all of the text animations, but the .mov background does not work -- it's just frozen on the first frame. I have read similar problems with QT exports, but I haven't found any similar flash problems. Thanks for any help.

I think it might be necessary to look at the Inspector in QuickTime. Open the .mov file in QuickTime and go to Window > Show Movie Inspector:
In the info window that comes up, under the Format: field you want to look at the second row where it tells you the audio track format:
In this example, this particular clip is in a really odd format. It is MPEG Layer 2 (no Layer 3 which is MP3 format) at 32Khz, Mono. Preferably for anything in iMovie or iDVD you would prefer the Inspector to look like this:
Linear PCM, 16bit (etc) 2 channels, 48kHz. This can be accomplished by downloading and installing MPEG Streamclip. Open the program and drag the .mov clip into the applicationw window (with five dots in it). Then under the File Menu choose Export to QuickTime:
Then go to the Compression pull-down menu and choose Apple Intermediat Codec (AIC):
Then under the Audio section, leave the audio pulldown to uncompressed but do set the sample rate to 48kHz instead of Auto:

QT wont play certain files all of a sudden

I updated my QT 7.2.0 to 7.2.2 and QT wont play my mp4 files, I get an error saying ' movie could not be opened an invalid sample description was found in the movie' . Also it wont play the audio on some formats and I can't get ant audio from youtube. I have flip 4 mac. real audio. m player and divx installed, and I also downloaded some codec as directed by apple when it wouldn't play a certain file. can I go back to my original qt as it was working great. I previously bought QT pro but also had it when I bought 4.5 hd and have just upgraded to FCS 2 can I just reinstall qt from my FCS 2 dvd. And how or should I delete the codecs maybe they are messing QT up.

Thanks, by that I prosume you mean all divx codecs. But does that include x in the extention name ie npUpload.xpt . Also when I go to you tube for example the film plays but no sound. I downloaded vlc which will play my .mp4 files but with no sound. I Work on Logic Studio so I use a motu 896 converter but it does'nt seem to be that. Can I just reinstall QT 7.2 from FCS2 as that was working perfect. Once again Thanks
