Old movie/new player incompatibility, Windows only

Hi, I have searched the forums, Adobe support and web in
general for help on this, but to my surprise have not found
anything.
I created some Shockwave movies perhaps 5 years ago for
science education and have not used Director since then. I just
received a report that the movies are broken and will not play.
This is happening on WinXP in IE and in Firefox with the latest
Shockwave player installed, but the movies work fine on OSX 10.4.8
in Safari and Firefox, also with the latest Shockwave player
installed.
I am not a Director developer anymore (okay, I never REALLY
was) and do not own a current version of the program, I am
primarily a scientist and educator. I'm hoping the problem is in
the html code that embeds the movie, and that the movies are still
compatible with the new Shockwave player on Windows. Can anyone
help out, please? One of the movies can be found at

Thanks so much for any pointers,
Frieda

Thanks while I agree that you diagnoised the correct problem
- the versiondetection is the problem, what I need is help solving
the problem. Is this the code that is the issue?
if ( versionIndex >= 10 ) {
ShockMode = 1;
or is it
else if (navigator.userAgent &&
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0
&& (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 95")>=0
|| navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 98")>=0 ||
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows NT")>=0 )) {
I cannot decipher most of the code - can someone please look
at the source (URL in first post) and help me to fix it?

  • Air FileSystem: Update: New directories for Windows only!

    Hello Sirs & Ladies
    i have a nice idea for important directories like they want to call WindowsDirectory, SystemDirectory or any directories for Adobe Air 13.x and 14.x
    Look out my example screenshot:
    red lines mean beknown like File.desktopDirectory and File.documentsDirectory
    blue points mean new directories....
    If you would like to download and enjoy to Adobe Air Applications Link to DropBox
    Sorry my swc is bit mesh and it is not complety like ProgramFiles and Program Files (x86) and ProgramData and AppData Directories will come soon....
    Thanks and best regards!

    The product specifications list the requirements as:

    As Andy says, you can try the XP driver on Windows2000, I suspect it'll run just fine, but it is not officially supported.

  • Just bought new PC with windows 8.1 and installed the 64bit tunes as instructed by the new PC. Only a small part of my music library is now showing but  can see all the files in the itunes folder on an eternal hard drive linked to my old XP pc.

    Problem - changed PC to one with Windows 8.1 ( previous from 2006 with Windos XP). Previously all ITunes stuff on an external harddrive as 80 gigs of music too much for the old PC
    When attached Harddrive to new PC was told needed to install the new 64 bit iTunes as 32 bit iTunes not compatable.
    Did so but only a very small portion of my music is showning -  though rest of Library is still on the external drive in the folder.
    Help please
    Thanks

    Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
    Under iTunes Media though I do not have  folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have  Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
    Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
    Next  - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders  there is some other  iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14  
    AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
    To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend  SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
    Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

  • How do I move all my settings from my old computer with Vista to a New one with Windows 7 ? I'm using V. 14.0.1 on both Systems

    Hello All,
    How do I move all my Settings & Bookmarks from my 5 year old Computer running Vista and Firefox V. 14.0.1 , to my New Computer with Windows 7 and also Firefox 14.0.1 ?
    Thank you very much.

    You can copy your Firefox profile from one computer to the other and continue working with almost no changes :)
    [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    A really easy way to do this is the following:
    #Click the Start button, type %APPDATA% into the search bar, press Enter (on your old PC)
    #Right click on the Mozilla folder, copy to a thumb drive (or something you can use to transfer it to your new PC)
    #Go to %APPDATA% the same way on your new computer
    #If the Mozilla folder already exists, I'd either delete it or rename it
    #Paste the Mozilla folder into the same place on your new PC
    #then upgrade to Firefox 15
    You can also use Firefox Sync. [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

  • My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
    So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
    then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
    Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two.

  • I was advised to purchase dazzle video creator to move analog videos from an old sony camcorder to a mac.  I have purchased the dazzle and the specs seem to be for windows only.  Has anyone used this product on mac?

    I was advised to purchase dazzle video creator to move analog videos from an old sony camcorder to a mac.  I have purchased the dazzle and the specs seem to be for windows only.  Has anyone used this product on mac?

    I am not certain, but I believe there is a version of Dazzle for the Mac. However, it is not the route I would chose.
    You really need a proper analogue to digital converter, like the ADVC110, to connect to your camera via the usual RCA cables, and to your Mac via firewire.

  • I need to move my thunderbird email from an old XP to a new computer with windows 7. I have my UserName but not a password

    I do not know how to move my T B email account from my old XP system to my new computer with Windows 7. I know my user name but do not know my pass word for the T B account

    All you normally need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from User's Music on one computer into User's Music on the other. You can use a network share or an external drive to help with the move. Move the library before installing iTunes.
    See this migrate iTunes library post for more details and strategies for when the library isn't in the usual layout.

  • Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

    Hi Folks.
    I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
    Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
    into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
    Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
    Apple Intermediate codec.  I had no choice over this.
    Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
    very easily in the Finder.  Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
    and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
    in the progress bar at the bottom.  Never had a problem with any previous
    Mac OS.
    Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
    big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
    I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
    lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
    then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
    Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
    and plays it no problem.  No "conversion" necessary.  No cumbersome and
    space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
    of Quicktime can play it.
    What's up, Apple?  AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
    transcode into.  Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
    And your old version does?  And why might THAT be?
    Really, this is so elementary.  This is not rocket science.  Just like JPG images
    not displaying properly in Mac Mail now.  It begs the question "why" ...?
    I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
    friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
    And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
    have to be "fixed"...
    Did I miss something?  Or did you?

    Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas.  And an answer to your earlier post.
    Basically two options to work with here:
    Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
    Convert the files to Quicktime
    I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB".  (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras).   I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
    If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's.   AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files.   You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
    The only extra trick to be aware of here is this.  The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor.  Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files.  Not mandatory, but helpful if  you are a Premiere user.  Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage.  Use VLC player to open and view them.
    From that point on,  you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
    I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on.  Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files.  Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264.  Anyway, don't bother converting.  It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
    ps. I just found this free utility on the internet.  It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
    Good luck!  (and happy Valentine's Day!)

  • How to move itunes music library from an old to new NAS?

    I'm moving to a larger LaCie NAS and need to move my existing iTunes music files from the old LaCie to the new LaCie. My iTunes library files are on my mini, but the music files are on the NAS.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. Since I'm making this move, can I move all my iTunes files to the NAS (the whole iTunes folder in my user folder - library file, apps, artwork, etc.)? Are there advantages / disadvantages to this (e.g. for sharing with other MACs in the house)? (Currently only my music files are on the NAS - everything else is on the mini.)
    2. What is the best way to make this move? I assume I could copy the files manually, I could use iTunes organize / consolidate functions to do this, or maybe there are other options. I'm not exactly sure how to do any of the options...
    Thank you!

    Sorry, I wasn't responding to you, just the original poster. I didn't look at the date on that posting and didn't realize that you'd added a post that wasn't quite the same problem. In future, you'll find you get better answers if you start your own thread. You're issue really is a bit more complicated.
    If iTunes currently recognizes all the music on both internal and the external drives, it should work. You have to make sure that both drives (old and new) are mounted. Make sure you have both "Keep iTunes music organized" (you probably already do) and "Copy files to iTunes..." (you probably don't) checked.
    If not all of the music is currently in your iTunes library, perform the procedure with the music that is a part of the library and add the other stuff afterwards.
    Best of luck.
