Cant play flash movies (swf)

For some reason Flash movies wont play on my G5 using the
Flash Player application... they just come up blank... I can play
flash in a web browser froma remote site but not from my nachine...
I think I have all the necessary software thats needed...
any ideas??
thanks
DF

damir: are you talking about the standalone player? if so, in
order to view online content from the player, you need to include
the very specific URL that leads to the swf file. so
http://www.mydomain.com will not
work but
http://www.mydomain.com/flashcontent.swf
will work (of course you need an active internet connection as
well).
also, make sure you have the latest version of the player,
because some older versions may not play the latest content
correctly. not sure where you can download the latest standalone
player, but do a search on the adobe site for "standalone flash
player for mac" or something...

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers

Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Play flash in powerpoint?

Did anyone have success in playing flash animations (SWF) in powerpoint (version 2004) on the mac?
The SWF i've got plays fine in Safari, but not at all in powerpoint ...
Any ideas, pointers, insights will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

The prereq's to doing this are:
Microsoft Office
Apple QuickTime 6+ (Mac uses the QT engine for SWF playback)
The Flash SWF file has to be version 5 or earlier (yes version 6 and 7 don't work)
If you meet all of these requirements then all you need to do is navagate to the slide you want you Swf file to reside on and
Insert > Movie from File > and choose the Swf file you want to embed.
and there you have it.

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
Thanks
Mark

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

Playing Flash SWF in Director 11

I created a simple navigation slide type show in Flash CS3
and tried to use it in a portfolio that I'm creating in Director
11. I imported the Flash SWF into Director and when I go to the
file it plays automatically and keeps looping; my navigation
buttons and actionscript 3.0 that I applied in Flash do not work
(they do work in the SWF file played with Flash Player 9). I assume
that I need a sprite script for my SWF cast member in Director, but
I haven't got a clue as to what to script. I learned Director about
12 yrs. ago, but haven't used it much since then . . . and I've
just learned Flash CS3.
PLEASE HELP . . .
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, Dan! Now, I've got to ask . . . how
different is AS2 from AS3? I don't know AS3 good enough to convert
it to AS2. Where might I find some help for my AS3 script?
Thanks

My Flash SWF file inside of my Flash Catalyst SWF won't play when previewed in Dreamweaver?

However, when I preview the flash catalyst swf file, the flash swf thats inside, plays just fine. any suggestions or solutions?

Does the one swf load the other swf? If so, is the one swf in the same folder as the html file that embeds it?

Saving Flash 7 SWF created in Flash 8

I understand from experience that viewing Flash 8 SWF files
on the Flash 7 Player results in text not showing up. The Flash 8
text is obviously superior, but unfortunately, a major contingent
of my viewers are too afraid, too naive, or their systems are too
messed up to upgrade their Flash Players from earlier versions.
Obviously, to solve the problem, I can save the SWF as Flash 7
backward compatible; however, I am more than disappointed with the
results of this solution. The main problems with this approach is
that the text looks week and the bitmap alignment is no longer
perfect when trying to intermingle my flash content with existing
background content.
Please someone help me with a better solution by providing me
with a list of parameters that need to be in place so that my Flash
7 files created in Flash 8 look more presentable.

> Peter, as for a list of parameters, I mean precisely
what options should

There seems to be come confusion here. It's not a matter of
'checking off'
options, rather of publish settings. In the 'Publish
Settings' dialogue,
under the 'Flash' tab, 'Version', select 'Flash Player 7'.
the important
thing is not to use any *features* that depend on Flash
Player 8 - these
include (but are not limited to!) filters, any of the new
text rendering
options (custom anti-alias), any of the new Classes (geom,
filters, display,
external) etc etc etc.

Again, you are a bit confused I think. Obviously they will be
different than
if published for FP8 - that wasn't my point. What I said was:

and bitmaps will
look

So, using Flash 8 to author but publishing for FP7 will look
the same as
using Flash MX2004 ('Flash 7') to create your content. You
are saying your
bitmaps shrink "compared to when exported normally in Flash
8" - I never
mentioned publishing for Flash 8.
> Hmmm, the exported Flash 7 text (generated in Flash 8)
looks weak even
when

Well yes, of course. You said it yourself - you have exported
for FP7 -
playing it in FP8 won;t magically make it look better! For
that, you would
have to *publish* for FP8.

How to detect end of flash movie (SWF file) in Javascript

I have used Dreamweaver CS4 to integrate my SWF file as shown
below. So far so good. See GoToNext()
my website
What I wouldd like to do is have the SWF movie trigger a
javascript function in my html page when the video is stopped
playing (i.e. when it is finished) There are no controlls in that
SWF file - it is basically am add banner. I would think this would
be easiest done by rasinng an event in SWF that is communicated to
javascript, where I can add an event listener, and thus trigger my
function.
How can this be done in the simplest way?
<div id="bodyFlash"
class="clearfloat"><p> </p>
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="760"
height="150" id="FlashID" title="Chillifire Banner">
<param name="movie" value="flash/chillifire.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="flash/chillifire.swf" width="760" height="150">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

on the last frame in the banner file you can use the

Need help embedding a mp3 player swf with xml playlist

Im a noob to Flash (started tuesday, haha) and so far everything is coming along just fine, but i need to put music in the swf. I have a button set up that slides a swf mp3 player in from the side but i dont know how to make the playlist work with it.
The player is from this site:
http://www.bezzmedia.com/swfspot/samples/flash8/Mp3_Player_with_XML_Playlist
Using the xml playlist with html is simple enough, but im not sure how to use it with Flash Catalyst. Is there an easy way to do this?
My original plan was to have a text list of the songs with a play button next to each one, then when you click on the play button it would set the state of any other songs to Stopped so you can just pick what song to play and if another song was playing it would stop. Im not sure how to do this either (like i said, i started learning this week), so i just tried embedding someone else's (ugly) mp3 player.
Anyway, if anyone knows a relatively easy way to have a playlist in my swf please let me know. Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, you've imported a SWF into Catalyst using Import Artwork on the File menu. When your app runs, you want to pass that swf a parameter that tells it what URL to read a data file from. The SWF is not one that you've created, rather, you got it from some web site.
This is not something that you can do in Catalyst. However it should be possible to do in Flash Builder. I found an article discussing several ways to do it, at http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=175951. One idea is the following code snippet
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    import flash.events.*;
    private function setVars(event):void
        event.target.content.yyyyyy = "zzzzzz";
    ]]>
</fx:Script>
<mx:Image source="xxxxx" complete="setVars(event)" />
where "xxxxx" is the path of the SWF (you can put it somewhere in your Flash Builder project, or reference it via an URL), and yyyyy is the name of the parameter that the SWF expects, and zzzzzz is the path to the data file. The <Image> tag is what Catalyst created when you imported the SWF. (btw.the Image and SWFLoader tags are almost identical).
I hope this gives you enough info to make progress.

Can a Flash 6 SWF (AS 1) read variables of a Captivate 4 SWF (AS 2)?

I have a Captivate 4 CP that I published to Flash Player 9, AS 2.0 SWF ( and Flash Player 7 as well, which didn't help either). I load this SWF in a Flash wrapper SWF (published to Flash Player 6, AS 1.0) which needs to read the rdinfoCurrentFrame and rdinfoFrameCount variables in order to find out if the Captivate movie has completed. The logic works when I test this locally, but not in our test environment, probably because the two (Flash SWF and the Captivate SWF) are in two different directories. My suspicion is that it is due to cross-domain issue which comes into play only with Captivate 4 SWFs, because when I tried replacing the Captivate 4 SWF with a Captivate 2 SWF it worked. I tried displaying the value of rdInfoCurrentFrame in the Flash wrapper using a dynamic text box, and while it shows and updates the value in case of a Captivate 2 SWF, it shows a null value for Captivate 4 SWF. Is this a known issue? I'm playing the content in Flash Player v9.0.45.0.
Also, can someone here tell me what ActionScript version does Captivate 2 publish the SWFs to?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mohsin

The crossdomain policy is a result of the Flash player - not Captivate. It was implemented with FP 8.0 so if you publish to that then you will have the restrictions. However, the crossdomain policy only applies to different domains - not different directories.
Captivate 4 publishes to AS2 per default.
The problem you have is due to the fundamental changes between CP2 and CP4. While your paths for the variables might work for CP2 they have changed for CP4.
I can't remember exactly what they are right now and I dont have access to my files but try these paths
movie.rdInfoCurrentFrame
mainmov.rdInfoCurrentFrame

Playing a second swf when the first one's finished

I have 2 swf files (the FLA's too) and want one to play then
the second. - I'd add the second to the timeline of the first, but
the second is a complete site and contains many referenced
"gotoandplay" links which would all need changing. So....I really
just need a way for the second swf to play after the first one's
finished. I tried using the load external movie clip behaviour, but
couldn't make it work. Can I use the first swf as a preloader
without affecting the timeline on the main swf? I canspare a couple
of frames at the start of the second movie for that, but don't know
how to set it up - can anyone help?
I also want the custom cursor to remain only in the first
swf, and go back to default on the second.
main (second) movie:
http://mysticalbillyo.com
first movie:
http://mysticalbillyo.com/intro.swf

I think you may want to create a 'master' loading swf, rather
than loading the second movie into the first, and use the
MovieClipLoader class to call and load new movies into the master
container.
Set up a new swf, that is the same size as the others. you'll
set up a function on the first frame and then use that function to
load all subsequent content into the master document. You can also
use methods of the class to add things like preloaders and other
event handlers. so for instance, at the last frame of the intro
swf, you'd add a 'call' to the function in the master telling it to
load the next movie in the sequence. I'll add the call you will
need on the bottom of the code example below.
PS. ------------------------------------
I'm not one to solicit, however I have (awhile ago) developed
a Component that you may be interested in for your site, although
it has not been package and ready for distribution, it does
function - called 'glitterMouse', and produces a twinkling mouse
trail effect when you move the cursor, mush like the onRollOver
animation that you'd painstakingly made (ouch) except that it use
random twinkle generation at run-time, and has many property
settings, like color, quantity, gravity, and so on. It might be a
nice addition to your 'wand' cursor, and would not 'replace it' as
it's not a 'cursor' but an effect generator.
If you are interested, an example of it in action (although
you can't purcahse it from there ... yet) can be seen on my site
at: www.beechstudios.com goto the 'Flash' section, it's the first
one listed.
Just thought I'd throw that out there, sorry all, it just
fits :]
OK the code for you, add this to the first frame of the
'master' swf, then add the code at the bottom to the end of the
intro swf in the last frame.
EDIT: this is AS2 code, to use AS3 code do something more
like the methods as described above, yet I would still consider
placing all content within a 'master' loading doc, and replaceing
or removeing previously loaded children.

Loading flash 8 SWF in adobe AIR, loses the stage width in flash 8 SWF

Currently i am using a CS3 IDE to compile AIR application.I
am trying to load the flash 8 SWF inside my AIR application.After
loading the SWF, when i try to trace the stage width inside the
flash 8 SWF , it says undefined.Not sure why..
Googling few hours not able to get the solution.
Please help me on this, urgently needed.
Thanks in advance

This is a fairly common question on these forums. Basically,
AS2 and AS3(Flex/AIR) can't communicate directly. You will either
need to use LocalConnection or use ExternalInterface and javascript
to pass info between the 2.

Loading Flash Paper swf causes all other button events to fail

Hi Everyone,
I have created a project with Flash which I am using Zinc to publish as a projector for both Macs and Pcs. Now, in this app I am loading a pdf document converted to a Flash Paper swf. The moment I load this swf file into my project, it appears as though all other button events fail. If I remove the code which loads in the flash paper swf, all buttons function as expected.
Can anyone please help me with a reason / solution for this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Did that and there were no errors shown at any point, such as when publishing the .apk file.
I found a solution. I was under the impression I needed to use touch events for it to work on a tablet, and changing those to normal mouse events solved the problem. Still not sure why it wouldn't work the other way, but for now it works as needed.
Thanks!

I need help with a flash nav and switching pages!!!

is there anyway to point the browser to play a swf file from
a specific point (labeled frame) in the movie after switching
(html) pages?
basically it's a nav bar that needs to be played from the end
of the movie after the first opening (html)page.
I know i can do this with frames, but i would love to avoid
that if possible. and the only other option i know would be to have
2 swf files. there has to be a "on(load) /gotoandplay() or some
combination to make this work, it seems to be too close to not be
possible.
thanks for all the help.

SHouldn't be too involved. Just set a variable with JS (or
whatever
language you can use, I used JS simply b/c you stated HTML
pages, not PHP or
ASP), then in your flash movie, have your first frame do a
basic if/then or
do a switch (if it's available in AS).
if ($var==1){
gotoAndPlay (1,1);
elseif ($var--2){
gotoAndPlay(1,2);
etc.
Alternately, you could set a session variable, but you would
have to have
dynamic pages to do that.
