Playing QuickTimes and Flash-based websites on iPhone

Hello ~
I am unable to watch QuickTime movies or look at Flash-based websites on my iPhone. Do I need to download something in order to do these things? I have seen others with iPhones that can...any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Quicktime is built into the OS of the phone and you should have no problems with .mov or .mp4 movies in the formats that the iPhone supports. Flash cannot be played on the phone at this time.
For more information on movie formats the phone supports, see:
http://support.apple.com/specs/iphone/iPhone.html
If properly formatted quicktime videos are not playing on the phone, try resetting the phone (top and home button until you see Apple logo).

How can I pubish SWF interactive magazine to flash based website? It's not working!

I hope someone can help me launch my first interactive magazine (SWF) to our website with ID 5. Okay, my hard copy mag came out great so then I started on the interactive edition. Everything was going swell with adding 3 short videos ( FLV ) and creating 3 slide shows. When I previewed it by exporting to SWF I could preview it in my browser fine. Page curls, fade in words (although the “hide until animated” options only works in two out of about 7 instances. (same settings) file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Documents/NEW%20PUBLICATION%20QUARTERLY%20JOURNAL%202011%20se pt%202/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIVE%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.ht ml
I then followed instructions from another Adobe exercise, exported it to Flash, went to Publish Settings, but of course when I pressed “publish” I didn’t get the same result as the teacher…I got an error message about text. I searched a forum with the same message I got and saw that making sure my text setting was set for Classic, solved someone else’s problem. So I did and was able to “publish”. But now, when I open either the SWF or HTML file, it’ just rapidly repeating the 12 pages in my file in a loop!

I have spent most of the summer self teaching myself InDesign CS5 (not easy!) and am excited to be able to put out an interactive SWF file that can be opened in a Flash player through our Flash based website. I feel like I’m just inches away for launch but now I’m getting frustrated. Isn’t this going to be possible?
Also, when I publish it in Flash, it creates a SWF file AND an HTML file. But on our website, I have only one option to make a link to a document OR an outside link to open a file. How does that work?
Many thanks for whoever can help me out here. This was supposed to be a spring issue. Had to change it to summer and now I guess it’s a fall launch!

Thank you for your quick reply, Rob. Well, i can't open the link you gave me to mysite (got a 404 error), could you resend it?
Originally, I exported the file to SWF (player) and just tried to link that file from our flash based website. It opens fine, page curls fine, slide shows fine, but when you click on the photos with videos, page 5 (father and baby) and two others, the image disappears and only a white comes up to fill that area.
http://scpres.org/#/media-sermons-online/our-publications. Could you go to this link on our website to see what I mean? Go to the NEWSBREAK TRANSFORMS and click on the Life, Stories of Transformation.
Rob, here is where i have very limited knowledge: As I said we use a flash based (read very user friendly) web hosting company. When I am in the back end to upload the swf file, I have only one option - "attach a video, attach a document, attach a link" so how would I upload a "folder" with more than one item to the server?
I thought it would be considered a video since the SWF file says SWF movie, but when I when i try to upload as a video, it doesn't come up as importable. (am i sounding really stupid?) Maybe I should admit that yes, I'm an ID5 newbie AND yes, I'm no spring chicken but I have been working in CS2,3,4 for several years and now 5 and am quite proficient in the create aspect of Adobe products. It's just now the technical part about how to actually get my in work published to the site.There isn't anyone else in my company able to help me so I have to reach out to this forum!
I love ID and this is just my first effort but I'm looking forward to creating many more interactive magazines for my company.
Thanks for any help.

Prevent show 'select download folder' dialog when click export csv button in a flash-based website

I want to download csv file from a flash-based website. When i click the button with export icon, Firefox always pop up dialog box with title 'select download folder for ...'. I have set up default download folder and uncheck 'always ask me where to save files'. If i download from other websites (not a flash one) then the download automatically started without pop up folder selection dialog. I want to prevent firefox from showing download folder selection dialog because i need to use it for web automation. by the way, i use ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 21.0. I have used flashgot extension but still no luck. Any suggestion about this?

I already have followed the instruction above, but still no luck. The dialog still appear. I think this is not a regular download link since it's made with flash. It's look like an export button which will force browser to pop up 'select folder location' dialog and when i click save then there is no download progress like usual, the file just saved automatically. I think the file itself is rendered when the flash website loaded, and then embeded into the web page. When i download, it didn't send any request, it just get the embeded file.

How to view flash based website?

How to view flash based website?

Download an app from the AppStore called iSwifter. It is the best app that brings flash capabilities that I have come across. You can play games or watch live tv on it. Megavideo, Putlocker, etc.
Hope this helps.

Is there any way to watch flash based sites on iPhone 4s?

I was see streaming of some sports like cricket, football on some websites...all these websites
are Adobe flash based?
How can I play them on iPhone 4s?

Even the makers of Flash are no longer making new versions for mobile devices. Apple could not give it you if they wanted to.

Playing Quicktime in Flash Player?

I head that you can encode a Quicktime video as H.264 and
change the
extension from .mov to .flv and it will play in the Flash
player. Is
this true?

Flash 9 can play h.264 files. Just change the suffix to flv.

Problems with Quicktime and flash player

Whenever I try to play a flash file the quicktime symbol comes up and has a questionmark in the middle. I have already tried uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it and it didn't work... I even got it to work by changing the prefrences but then it stopped working again. this all started when I downloaded the latest version of quicktime. is there a way to stop quicktime from playing flash files at all?

is there a way to stop quicktime from playing flash files at all?
QuickTime preferences -> File types -> Miscellaneous. Uncheck the setting for Flash Media.
(note: the exact location of this setting may be different depending on the version of QT you have; the above is valid for QT7. So you may have to hunt about a bit in the preferences if you have an earlier version of QT).

WebVPN flash based website loading problem

We are using Cisco ASA WebVPN, ASA version 8.2(2).
Problem: Flash driven website is not loading especially for MAC users.
Same website accessible from Windows based machines.
Initially user logins to WebVPN and 2 bookmarked links for same website.
frist website for Windows users and other is for MAC users
Only difference is Windoes users bookmark is configured with Smarttunnel and MAC is not.
Website does open for MAC user, but it's just not loading the content (flash contents)
Could someprovide inputs to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

That was a waste of a couple hours.... The reason it was not redering is because I had a glow filter effect on a parent
displayobject in the app... Really weird, cause html stuff would load, but flash would not show up.

Questions: Late Model and Flash based iPod utilities

In the past I found it somewhat cumbersome to have to fully Restore iPods in order to repair their function.
So in order to keep my 3rd Gen. iPods in good shape I routinely needed to run
third-party disk repair utilities which have kept the iPods in fine running shape.
I notice that not much is available anymore in the way of an iPod utility, and for the Flash-Memory based iPods there seems to be none available.
Do the later model iPods no longer need maintenance?
Is there a utility that can repair and maintain a Flash Memory based drive
with out having to resort to erasing and restoring?
(i.e. do flash based drives never get directory errors?)
Thanks in advance for any referrals

Belated thanks for the reply
I have been a bit ill, and not computing, lately.
It is my understanding that Restore function erases the iPod.
I find it more desireable to repair the 'pods without having
to lose all files.
Also, it seems to me that running a repair routine is a rather short time frame
(i.e. the time, only, that it takes to rebuild or repair the directory)
This seems not to be significantly more time that it would take to load
a couple-of-dozen songs.
Thanks again and sorry for the delay

STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

Adobe Flash and Flash based Video Players and the ps command

OK, I have two v20z servers. I just reinstalled Solaris 08/07 on both of them. These are both Sunray servers. One of the servers is fully patched and has SRSS 4.0 installed and serving Sunrays just nicely. I just finished installing Solaris on the 2nd server.
On the first one I'm not sure what whacked things, the patches or SRSS
If I go to a site with a flash based video player like youtube, Firefox or Mozilla will freeze untill the video is fully streamed.
Also on this server the "ps" command is super slow. I like to do ps -efa|grep whatever to find processes. This unbearably slow on this 1st server.
On the 2nd server I haven't yet patched it or installed SRSS. I think though it's the patches and not SRSS
On this server the Flash 7 that comes preinstalled works fine on streaming videos. It also works fine with Flash version 9,0,47,0. I even copied the 9,0,47,0 version of flash from the server that where flash is freezing, so it's not flash that is the problem I don't think.
Normal flash animations work fine, it's just flash based streaming video players.
Something after patching seems to have done this
Anyone else have a really slow ps and flash that freezes the browser while watching videos?

*** BUMP ***
Really? No one else has experienced this? I can easily recreate the issue, but can't find any fix.

Audio Problems with Quicktime and Flash

Hi,
For some reason, my Mac has stopped playing audio from flash and movies. I have no idea how this has happened as I cannot remember changing any preferences. This has occured with movies that I've watched before that I know the audio works on.
Does anyone know what I can check?
Thanks,
Steve.

It is a known problem and Apple even has a KB article about it.
It seems that some apps might change the sound prefs and in doing so, they keep some other apps from playing back sound. Opening a GB loop will change the settings back to the default, but you can also do it manually following the directions in the KB article.
Why they just don't change it so that those apps do not change the sounds prefs without notifying you of the possible effects, I have no idea.

Export to Quicktime and Flash Fail Slide Dropped

I am using the latest keynote. We wanted to use it to add an audio track to each slide to we could post the presentation on the web using flash or quicktime. I imported the slides from power point presentation my boss has had for awhile.
We successfully added the audio for each slide and are very pleased with it playing the sildeshow with keynote. When we export to flash or quicktime. Keynote has dropped the third slide in the presentation but not the audio that went with it. We are left with an out of sync presentation that is useless to us. There does not seem to any way to edit the audio or drop the slide from the presentation without doing the audio all over again.
From what have read here it seems to be an ongoing problem. Anyone else having the same problem? Any fixes.
Joe C

Hi,
my problem is nearly the same: QT Export drops every slide - keeps only the first, second and last slide. Export to flash comes with every slide but looks horrible. Every else export works fine (Web, pdf, etc.) What is it? Any Ideas?

Viewing flash based website in HTML component of AIR APP

Hello, I've got an air app where I'm trying to use the Html component to load up a flash website. Problem is that the website starts to load (I can see the preloader) and then the html component just goes blank. I wrote the html page I'm trying to load so I went in and did some trimming of javascript stuff that I didn't really need that I thought might be causing the issue, but, no dice. I'm also catch uncaughtScript errors from HTML, and there are none. Anybody have any ideas? The flash on the page that I'm loading only required flash player 8, so I'm thinking that shouldn't be an issue. The page I'm trying to load is www.socialsaga.com/air_index.php
Here is my little mxml file that won't properly display the site.
<mx:Panel title="Video Storage" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" enabled="true" visible="true" width="100%" height="650"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ public function showDOM(ev:Event = null):void { var indEv:Event = ev; } public function uncaughtException(ev:Event = null):void { var whatException:Event = ev; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HTML uncaughtScriptException="uncaughtException()" htmlDOMInitialize="showDOM()" width="100%" height="100%" location="http://www.socialsaga.com/air_index.php" id="htmlOne"/> </mx:Panel>

That was a waste of a couple hours.... The reason it was not redering is because I had a glow filter effect on a parent
displayobject in the app... Really weird, cause html stuff would load, but flash would not show up.

Anyway to use Video Lightbox Output in a Flash-based website?

I use Video lightbox on my current site (For an example here is my page now - http://www.ruesterprod.com/video )
I am redesigning my website in Flash and I would like to make a Flash Gallery using the Video Lightbox elements (Thumbnail, jQuery loader, etc.)
How could I accomplish this?
Thanks All,
Aza

You can use the entire Video lightbox as is by stacking it in a separte <div> container over the top of the other Flash content on the page.
The stacking process is a common practice in HTML and is called z-indexing.
Leave a blank spot in your .fla in exactly the spot you want the video gallery. Place your .swf on the Web page as you normally would. Now there will be a blank spot where the video gallery will go.
Then using z-indexing and CSS positioning, place the video gallery in it's own <div> container stacked over the top of the Flash content. This will make it look like the video gallery is a part of the Flash background.
Here is a working example... the Vimeo player is layered over the Flash background:
