Playing a .exe PC-flash file on a Mac

Hi folks,
actually, its not that I'm new to Flash. Instead, I have
never worked on it. Although Im a Graphic Designer, printed matter
is my role. I don't even have a copy of Flash (well, just the Flash
Player...) so...
OK, here's the tip:
A collaborator company sent me their flash-made showreel so I
can show it to my client and persuade him to work with them. The
problem is that they sent me a folder containing two subfolders
(inside of them are the contents) and a .EXE file.
It succesfully played on a friend's PC, but I rather need to
play it on my G5 iMac.
And here the question:
Is there a way that I myself can somehow "translate" such
.EXE file to a Mac file I can play? Or any plugin, or converter
whether if its for PC or Mac?
I kindly thank you all in advance!!!
Peace!

.exe is a Windows Projector file in flash terms... you need
to ask the collaborator company to send you a Macintosh Projector
file.

How do i play my videos in flash file after moving SWF file to website?

Hello all,
I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
Does anyone know how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
Sorry if I've waffled but I'm trying to clear up my situation .
Any help would be super, many thanks,
Flasher87

i am using the website wix, so in order to put the swf file up you just click the "Upload SWF" button, so i don't know how i could put the videos along with the swf, the swf is just sat on the page once i upload it.
second, when using this type of website do you know how i'd go about giving the website the permissions to play flv files?
Thank you.

How to play AVI and MKV files on a Mac?

First let me say I'm converting to mac soon. Hence these questions.
I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
Thank you.

Flash file will not open on a mac

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I had to complete and hand in a college project on Monday. However, when I opened my Flash file on a mac, the library area containing my movieclips was greyed out and I was unable to make any selections anywhere. Within 10 seconds Flash crashed and closed down. I tried to open the file from my memory stick, a CD-ROM and from the desktop on numerous computers with no luck. What is unusual is that I am able to open and make edits to the same file on my PC. I tried opening other Flash files from my memory stick and they were fine so it seems to be an issue with the file itself. I've had no problem transferring my files between mac and PC for the duration of this project (the last two months) and cannot understand what has happened. Can anyone tell me what might be causing this problem or how I can fix it? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

your site is doing a strict check for a certain version of
the flash plug-in, 9.0.45. It's probably not necessary to go that
far, just checking for version 9.0 should be fine. The Mac is only
up to 9.0.47 and many people are going to have a .28 version, which
gets refused by your script.

Flash file breaks when moved to PC

I created several flash files on a Mac using Flash CS3 and then recently moved them to my PC. I tried to open them up on the PC and when I run the code, my .load no longer works. It doesn't make any sense because the AS should work the same no matter what. I also no longer have assess to my Mac, so I can't go back and change anything.
My codes goes a little like this:
testingXML = new XML ();
testingXML.onLoad = loadingAction;
testingXML.load ("http://www.google.com");
Thanks!

In my case, this exception was due to a defect in some timeout code I'd written. I didn't want to wait forever for the command to complete, so after an appropriate amount of time, the code would destroy the process. That invalidated the data streams however, causing the bad file number exception in the reader threads.
So you may look for ways in which the executed process might be getting destroyed.

EXE and PIF files

I think i got this exe and pif files on my mac after unsuccessful installation of windows. I don't exactly know where I got this.
Is it safe to delete all this files? Does my mac need this files to run its operating system? There are over 48,000 exe and pif on my mac. And I think its accumulating almost my HD space.

So does it mean i can delete it? I'm afraid that it like an important file because of its name. Some of it is:
yyxb.exe
yjgyym.exe
yyjovx.exe
yydc.exe
and thousands of it on my main folder and macintosh hd.
So is it safe to delete those exe?
How about those pif files?

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

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?

Flash files not playing in Captivate correctly.

I have Flash files that make up a course that play correctly in Flash but are breaking in Captivate once I import into the Publish folder. There is a button that remains active without being clicked and will not close as it is supposed to, creating obvious issues in the course. The button does not have these issues in Flash, only in Captivate.
Has anyone had an issue like this or any thoughts on how to fix it?

Is the SWF published for AS2 or AS3? Captivate only accepts AS3 nowadays.
The other likely issue is that perhaps you have inadvertently used a symbol name for your button, or some of your AS code functions/variables etc, that happen to be reserved by Captivate for its own use. These types of conflicts can cause issues.

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.

Flash File (swf) in Powerpoint won't play after 1st time

Windows XP,
Powerpoint 2003
Captivate4
FlashPlayer 10
I've created a flash file using Captivate4 and successfully embedded it in a Powerpoint presentation using the controls toolbox.
It plays, but once I save and close the Powerpoint file then reopen, the swf file will no longer play - it is just a blank white flash player, with the player controls visible. I checked the properties and the link is still there. The control settings in properties are as follows:
Embedmovie: true
Loop: true
Menu: true
Movie: (has the link which worked the first time)
Playing: true
Anyone out there ever have a similar problem and resolved it?

After looking around on varous other forums this seems to be the issue:
There are a bunch of known bugs in flash 9 and 10, one of those being an issue with the Event.COMPLETE not being fired from the main stage when loading from cache when it's embedded WMODE = "transparent"
I'm not sure if that's your issue, but it's worth looking into. I've heard of a few workarounds to the problem. One of them being, not listening for for progress or complete events at all and just using a timed loop like ENTER_FRAME or TIMER to watch the bytesLoaded/bytesTotal."
My WMODE is window, but this sounds like it makes the most sense. I have attached the AS3 file. From viewing the flash it appears to freeze up where it should be going into swfProgressHandle, I think that's whats happening because the load bar doesn't increase in width at all and loadText doesn't even get set to anything, which happens in swfProgressHandle. This what also coincide with the above quote. Now the problem I have is that I didn't write the loading area of this flash, I only wrote part of the stuff inside the loading functions and also everything inside init, the person who helped me with this I haven't been able to make contact with and this site is supposed to go live very very soon. I am desparate for help! At this point I'd be willing to paypal some money over to anyone who could help me with this and get this working appropriately.

Playing Flash File in Oracle Forms 9i

Hi there,
I used to Play flash files in Forms using active x controls. But they are no more there.
So how can I include a flash file in my forms using Oracle Forms 9i.
Plz help me.
Thanks

Ali,
you would need to find a Java Bean environment to play Flash (quasi a flash runtime in java). this then can be added as a Java Bean to Forms.
Check the Java Media Framework

Click counting on an exe flash file

hello.
i have an exe flash file that i will distribute to several
people. is there a way to count the clicks they do when they get to
certain part of the file? certain buttons, links, etc?
also, if i have website links, how can i count when they hit
the link?
is there a way to do both things.
thanks

To count the clicks, you would simply use a Mouse.onMouseDown
listener. It doesn't make a difference whether it's a HTML-embedded
Flash movie or an exe.
I think the problem arises from the fact, that you want to
store this information somewhere, or do you want to send it back to
your computer?
The other thing, the website link is counted on the server,
not within Flash.

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.
