NOT PLAYING FLASH

Sometimes in Internet Explorer, I cannot view some Macromedia flash files.
Instead all I see is large quicktime Q with a water-marked question mark on it.
Plase help!
I tryed to uninstall the programe and put in an erlier version. But whaen i clicked the uninstall button, it said preparing to install.. then the window did nothing after that and dissappered!!!!!
It's Quicktime 7.0.2

None of these things are working. I wish i never downloaded this new version. I am getting the same watermarked question mark and it is for internet movies so I cant directly access the quicktime menu. When I open Quicktime seperately in the advanced menu there is no option to adjust the MIME settings. If go to 'File Types' and change from miscellaneous to flash (which was already ticked) it makes absolutely no difference. Please help!

Embedded Audio not playing - Flash Player 10.0.45.2

Hi
With the recent update of the Flash player I noticed that random *.swf files containing just embedded *.wav files will not play.
The only things that seem to fix this problem are;
Change the audio publish settings and republish
Or createa new *.fla and republish
Can anyone explain why this is happening? Is this bug temporary?
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi, the Flash forum was down in my area. Here is a link that you may just bookmark as it most likely have everything FP, just something to keep handy:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html
This is the FP Installer for Internet Explorer that you download to and run from your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (Not the debugger version)
This is the FP Installer for Firefox(or other browsers that FP supports) Download to the Desktop & run from there.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
When that Uninstaller was used for the 10.1, if I'm not mistaken it Uninstalls FP from all browsers.
I'm sure you are familiar with the ActiveX Settings and using the Administrator account to have the permissions to Install the ActiveX Control and write to the Windows Registry. Adblock in FF will need to be disabled if you use it and any pop up blocker software installed. You may want to refer to the Uninstall instructions for further info:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
You may also want to review the Troubleshooting guide to head off any issues before rather than after:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Usually I cover the "prep" info but since we didn't discuss that, thot I'd post it, so if you need it you have it.
If you have any questions, just post. If you want the debugger version, I'll need to find the link.
Thanks,

Safari Will Not Play Flash Games or Videos on my account but will on others

As of last night my MacMini will not play videos at mlb.com, YouTube.com or flash games at ClubPenguin.com. When I log out of my account on the same computer and log into my kids' accounts it will play all of the above mentioned sites quite well. The problem cannot be with the websites not being compliant with Safari since they are playing normally on my kids' account on the same computer using the latest version of Safari.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.10) iBook, iMac, iPod, iPod Mini, iPod Nano

Well most issues are either A. system wide, or B. User specific.
In this case the issue was user specific because it happend only in your user, not your kids accounts.
There are prefernce files (plists) for pretty much everything. When something goes wrong, a good place to start is to pull relevent plists from YOUR user library. home>library>preferences
If this issue was system wide and happening in all accounts, you would start pulling plists from the library under your hard drive. harddrive>library>preferences.
When the machine is restarted or logged off after pulling these, when you log back in the preferenece files are regenerated back to standard settings.
Yes you can trash those plists now with no problem.
excuse my spelling errors, im typing while on break for 5 min!
hope this helps

No matter how many uninstalls and reinstalls Firefox 4 will not play flash videos w the latest flash plugin installed. What do I do to get flash videos to play like everyone esle can?

Trying to solve my non-playing flash videos wherever I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1, such as CNN or anywhere really while surfing. Even at the Adobe web site I cannot play demo videos and I own CS4 Suite. I can play any YouTube video I select.
I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1. Don't tell me to UNINSTALL then REINSTALL the flash player as I have done that too many times.
I logged out and logged into my clean account where I install nothing. No joy.
What the heck is the problem? No one else seems to have this problem as I am told many play CNN videos fine.

Hi arpriltime,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Many websites will not play flash video

Really hoping for help with this.
Most sites won't play flash video (can't remember all of them, but they include BBC, CBC, & major online news & business sites). I don't think it's a site problem.
[YouTube works].
Safari version is current. "Block pop-up windows" is off. Gimme Blocker is on. There are no extensions installed.
If there's other info to be provided, please LMK.
Thanks!

Captivate 5 not playing Flash Media Server video

This was initially posted in the video section but I have moved it here because after 4 days up it has only been viewed 4 times (plus my 3 views) and nobody has replied at all.
Recently I have begun attempting to convert older projects to captivate 5. However, once I started loading the videos I quickly realized that they are not playing in captivate 5! I know that these videos stream from the server just fine as I have been running them with other products and I know that the paths are correct because I've been using a web player to test the paths of the videos that will not play. How do I get around the bugs in Captivate and get the video working?

Looking at this issue, here is what I see:
Looking at the source code from the URL you supplied
http://www.uab.edu/smsfiles/video.cgi?OU=CEVS&VIDEO=AD_clip_setup.f4v
Looks to me that the rtmp server has a different name than the one you provided: streamer: ["rtmp://wwwsms.it.uab.edu:1935/CEVS/"]
Is the file truly an FLV or F4V? Looks to me like it is a MP4. [file : "AD_clip_setup.f4v-lo.mp4"]
I think this will still boil down to getting the correct format for the URI.
Just my thoughts.

Safari does not recognize flash plug-in and will not play flash video

I use Safari as my go-to browser for web sites that would otherwise require me to turn off my several ad-block/flash-block plugIns for Firefox. I do have it set to ask for permission ('Trust this site?') for every time I use flash on a new site (since I reset Safari regularly and clear all cookies every time I close it this means every time, every site, it asks). New problem started sometime in the past week: Safari is returning a 'download flash' icon on some videos on some web sites--but on others it correctly goes through the 'trust this site to use flash?' routine and when I click 'trust now' it plays the video normally. Trying to figure out if this is a Safari problem, flash problem, or web site problem. How can Safari both recognize that flash is being asked for (that's why it shows me the 'download flash now' icon, right?) and not recognize that it has flash installed?
Safari Version 7.0.4 (9537.76.4)

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Namoroka will not play Flash videos

Anytime I try to view a site with Flash video, such as YouTube, Namoroka always says the Adobe plug-in needs updated. Even when I download and reinstall Flash, the site shows the same error message
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcYdv6pKTqA
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100405 Namoroka/3.6.3

The problem with the flash player not installing on demand is because by default they are offering you the 32-bit version. You have to go to the Adobe site and download and install the 64-bit version.
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html
I still haven't worked out how I can play videos in face book.

Presenter does not play Flash animation

Hey.
I've got a problem with the Presenter when trying to incorporate a certain Flash animation into the presentation. The Flash animation is just a collection of spheres who move and collide according to an Action Script Code (AS 1, not 3!). Since the whole animation is dictated by the script, the duration is just 1 frame. When I create the .swf file, it works fine.But as soon as I incorporate it in PowerPoint and export the presentation with the Presenter, the animation shows nothing more but the first frame.
I tried both settings for the .swf managment (managing by presentation - true and false), neither of those worked.
Does anybody have any idea what I can do about this?
Thank you!

Hello Dinindaerrtu - After how many weeeeeeeks. I finally have it working. You are not going to believe what my problem was... BOY! O! BOY!
I might have lost the plot as to what your problem was but let me explain what I did. Off the bat I could not even import an swf and play it in presenter. Nothing worked even although I have done it before. I know your solution was to have it run in one frame. Ok! Ok! I am so excited because I have eventually got it to work ... heee.... with help from Adobe (Kapil ... thanks Kapil). So here it comes... Ready? All I had to do was upgrad my version of Presenter. I must have upgraded my version about 4 times. My current version is 7.0.6 Build 7604.
I created a couple of tests and it works.
I am so holding thumbs that this will sort your problems.
Let me know
Dimitri

My Firefox 30 does not play flash videos using adobe vs 14.0.0.145 which is the build for various browsers including IE. My IE works fine with V14.0.0.145.

It works with youtube, but not my model railroader site. I have added the website to the exceptions list and contacted their administrator. Their administrator says firefox must be blocking it.

I can play the video, but on my connection, it seems to pause and drop some frames every several seconds.
If you haven't already tried this:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
This might not be related, but some users have reported that the Epson E-Web Print extension causes some glitches with the user interface in Firefox 29-30. If you do not use that extension much, you might try disabling it for a time to see whether that affects anything.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can disable individual extensions on the right side.

QuickTime not playing Flash

QuickTime isn't handling Flash, getting the icon with ? on all sites I try.
Also notice that swf no longer appears as a Mime type setting in QT Preferences ...
Leopard seems to think that 'Device Central' should be handling them but that's throwing an error
Any ideas anyone ?

I was having the same issue. I logged into another account, a plain no add-ons account and found that I could view flash content with Safari OK. That mean that there was some preference file in my primary account that was the culprit.
Here's how to cull out the bad apple (pun intended):
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
This cleared it up. I ended up with 16 items that were not put back in the preference folder.
Hope this will work for some of you.

W520 will not play flash videos unless buffered in all browsers (youtube works...)

I just bought my W520 referbished and I cannot watch flash videos unless they are fully buffered. Several places suggests it has something to do with F-secure which does not appeared to be installed. It also only effects certian players - not all. I tried it on a verity of websites and have found that JWPlayer is one of them. Youtube works fine. I have tried reinstalling Flash - I have updated all of my browsers (IE, Firefox [default], and Chrome). Could this be a hardware problem? Something to do with Optimus?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ajipaul,
Can you share the links for both of the videos which work and does not work fine?
We tried our W520 streamming 1080p video from youtube and they work fine. Not sure if we got your issues right.

Flash .exe or swf files will not play on Vista

I decided to learn how to create captions for flash video,
using CS3. I tested this project and it worked fine. I could just
double-click on the app or the swf and the captioned video played
fine on my Mac. I only had Flash (CS3) on my Mac, so I created the
files there.
I then published an exe to move over to my Vista machine.
When I double-clicked on the file, it brought up Flash Media Player
version 9, but only showed a blank white box. Very frustrating.
After some research, I read that Windows Vista was not
compatible with Flash Media Player 9. Only 10.02xxx or later (I
forget the exact version - it was long) was supposed to work with
Vista. Since CS3 uses version 9 to pack into the executable (PC) or
app (Mac) projector files, I thought maybe this was the problem.
So I downloaded the demo of Flash CS4, thinking this version
would pack version 10 into the projector and this would solve my
problem.
While the CS3 version of my saved flash video project would
open in Flash CS4, it would not play when I tested the movie inside
Flash CS4. It would just show a skin at the bottom of the video
player only (with a play/pause button), and it had moving blue bars
on the skin like it couldn't really load either.
I then decided to create the whole flash video with captions
from scratch under Flash CS4. This time when I tested the movie in
Vista, it worked fine. When I published either the projector exe or
the html/swf combination, it worked fine. So proudly (and finally!)
I sent the exe over to my boss. But..... you guessed it. The Flash
Media Player 10 that started up when the file was double-clicked
just showed a blank white screen again!
So then I moved the exe over to another partition to test to
see if there was some dependent directory pathway saved as part of
the flash video file. The exe wouldn't play on the other partition!
So I thought I was onto something. I then tried moving files that I
thought the exe might be dependent on (although isn't the point of
a projector to be stand alone?) to the same directory on this
partition as the flash exe projector file.
I ended up moving the captions.xml file, the swf files (flash
video player skins included), and the html file that the swf file
is supposed to be embedded in. NOTHING worked.
I even read that someone with this problem saved his Flash
CS4 file as a Flash CS3 file before he published it, and that
worked for him. So I tried that too, but with no joy.
So I am totally stumped. Does anyone out there have advice or
even a solution?
Much Thanks,
Chuck
