Problem embedding flash in website

I've been using Flash for about 5 hours now... been using Photoshop for-ev-er but havn't touched Flash much at all, but I know that it can do exactly what I need...
I am building a relatively simple html website, but it has a somewhat limited area for text, so I want to make a scrolling area for the text with a static background.
I looked up about two dozen different tutorials (literally) and got it working, and even made it data driven from a txt file so that I can swap out different files for different pages. (though I really need it to read the markup so I can have formatting, how do I do that???)
But back to the real problem...
I have three elements on my page: a background, a text box and a scroll bar.
When I output it and view it in flash, it works perfectly, the scrollbar functions and the text scrolls.
When I embed it in the html page, the text shows, but the scrollbar is just flat gray and the text scrolling doesn't work. I know the action script is working correctly because it's working when I just use it on it's own.
What am I missing???
And if you can point me in the right direction of getting my formatting to work too I will be extatic!
THANKS!!!

The flash file itself is
http://www.michelleseventphotography.com/stLeathercraft/order.swf
Ok, I found something else that is wrong that might help you tell me what I did wrong! lol
As I said, when I view the swf file on my local machine but it's not in the html file, the scroll bar works. However, when I view the swf file by itself where it is uploaded, the scroll bar also does not work. Of course maybe all of you are saying "duh, of course it doesn't..." but I was expecting it to.
There is something obvious here that I'm missing...

Problems embedding Flash slideshow from external site

I currently have a photography website with SmugMug where I host most pictures that I want to share online; they have an option that lets you create a Slideshow and allows you to copy the HTML embed code. So I stuck that into the page HTML, but every time I try previewing it on the web, nothing shows up. When I use the Validate function, it says the tag "embed" is not used in HTML 4.0, but I don't know if that's the problem or not. Here's the code provided:
Any clues as to why it won't work?

Why can't I get my code to show up? I'm using the "Insert Raw HTML" icon and get the box, into which I paste it. Guess I need to look up that FAQ.
Here it is just plain:

Like I mentioned in the first post, Dreamweaver's validation tool said that the "embed" tag is not valid in HTML 4.0. The page is written in DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional.

Problem loading flash into website

Hi,
I wanted to load simple image gallery into my website using
following code:
<object width="385" height="611" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="gallery1.swf">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#421628" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="gallery1.swf" bgcolor="#421628" width="385"
height="611" wmode="transparent">
</object>
It is working fine when I run just the gallery1.swf on my
machine, but it somehow can not load the images into website,
although all the paths are correct. Did anyone else had this
problem?
I would realle appreciate help,
Thanks

Hi _mz84
First thing I noticed, is that you did not close your
<embed> tag
<embed src="gallery1.swf" bgcolor="#421628" width="385"
height="611" wmode="transparent" />
If that doesn't solve your troubles, try the following
container.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="611"
width="385" align="middle" data="gallery1.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery1.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#421628" />
</object>
hope this helps out.

Embedded Flash in PHP - Need help!

Hello everyone!
We're having problems embedding Flash-files into our .php-files, so I thought the best place to ask for help would be the official Flash-forums :-) First of all, I'll let you know what exactly we're doing....
We have a few flash-files which you should only be allowed to view once you're logged in and authenticated to our "portal". You can only view those files over some sort of JavaScript-Popup-Flashplayer thing (personally not too much into JS). The JS-Player requires the flash-files to be available over an exisiting URL (such as http://page.domain/flash/file.swf) - And this is where the whole problem begins...
After hours of research and conversing with my collegues and the project-management, we decided to use the following technique to still keep those URLs for the JS-Player while preventing the user from simply accessing our "top secret flash movies" by typing in the URL in their browser...
We move the Flash-folder to a location outside of our document root -> Flash-files can't be randomly accessed or downloaded via the URL.
We use an Apache-plugin called "mod_rewrite" to rewrite/redirect URLs that look similar to http://page.domain/flash/*.swf to a PHP-file -> We can work with REQUEST_URI to see which flash-file the user wanted to view. Now, inside that PHP file we check wether the user is authenticated or not and either embed the flash-file into the PHP-file or redirect him to an error-page. In theory, the user could still view the flash-file over the URL (without even noticing PHP, since the URL stays http://page.domain/flash/file.swf, hence a perfect fake, no? ;-) ) and everything actually works exactly the way we wanted..........IN FIREFOX!
Now we went live with our application and we had to realise that one of the only things we haven't tested in other browsers (this being one of them) don't work the way we want and instead of viewing/playing the film, we get to see a white window in the JS-Player, while it's trying to download a file called "filename_swf" (underscore instead of dot?) when you access the movie over the URL (http://page.domain/flash/file.swf).
How we embed Flash into PHP:
Headers + outputting the flash-files content....
header('Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
header('Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT, -1');
header('Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
echo file_get_contents($request);
As I said, this works just fine in Firefox, however we're sure most of our users will be using IE, in which it doesn't work at all. I personally believe we're missing some sort of header or we have to set a different header depending on the browser...so I thought the best place to ask about Flash Headers would be the actual flash forums. Maybe I'm even totally wrong and missing out something crucial and someone can point me in the right direction...
Thanks!

Thank you for your help.

Have a flash player problem when visiting my website

I'm sorry, I did not know where to ask this question, so I tried my luck here. Anyhow, me and my fiance own this website about prom dresses where we find some dresses around the web and write reviews about them. But some of our friends told us we have some kind of weird flash problem on our webpage. Perhaps, some of you more knowledgable guys can take a look and see if they are right? I've tried visiting my website from a number of computers and mobile phones, but never encountered any kind of problem. But I'm not very into technology and would like you advice very much.
Here is the website in question: [sketchy link removed] and here is the web page they have said they had flash player issues: [sketchy link removed]
Thanks,

Unfortunately, technical forums are popular targets for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watering_Hole attacks, and I'm not going to risk it to go debug your website for you. I wish that we lived in a world where we could keep our doors unlocked, but there you go.
There's excellent documentation available for how to embed Flash content on your website, and we really recommend that you use SwfObject (below):

A cursory Google search for "embedding Flash" should turn up a number of tutorials that will help you out.

Embedded Flash from Justin.tv on my website

I am streaming a couple of ip camera's via Xsplit to Justin.TV. To show the footage on my Joomla website I use the embedded flash code. My goal is to show the video stream without any black bars above, under or at the sides.
I have two examples that work reasonable well:
camera 1: resolution 640 x 480 => Xsplit setting 640 x 480 (4:3). On my website I use the embedded flash code from justin.tv. and use following settings : 600 x 480 (5:4) .
camera 2: resolution 704 x 576 => Xsplit setting 704 x 576 (11:9). On my website I use the embedded flash code and use following settings : 600 x 520 (15:13).
Links for the footage:
http://www.plett.tv/monkeyland-live.html (640 x 480) => jtv channel = monkeylandplett
http://www.plett.tv/albergo-now-live.html ( 600 x 520) => jtv channel = albergolm
My question is following:
What happens on the way from Justin.TV to an embedded Flash video on my website.
How does 4:3 become 5:4 and how does 11:9 become 15:13. What is the formula behind it? How does this work?
I would also appreciate a pointer to a website that can explain this in layman's terms.

Hi Chris,
I expected an answer but my question has been on justin.tv and xsplit forum
for two days. No reactions at all.

Audio problems with embedded Flash

I have the Flash of a Captivate simulation embedded on one of
the slides in my Presenter file. When I publish it, the audio for
the Flash starts playing in the middle of the previous slide -
playing over the audio for that slide. When I click Pause, the
audio for the Presenter slide stops, but the Flash audio keeps
going even though I haven't gotten to the slide with the embedded
file yet. It always starts 4-5 seconds into the previous slide.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?
I've used embedded Flash files in Presenter several times
with no problems, and the settings in Presenter are all the same as
in the presentations that work correctly.
- In Presentation Settings, I have "controlled by
presentation playbar" deselected because there are click boxes in
the Captivate sim that users will click to advance.
- In Slide Properties, I have "advance by user" select for
both the embedded slide and the previous slide.
- I thought that there was some glitch in the Audio Editor,
so I added 5 seconds of silence at the end of the previous slide,
and added enough silence to the embedded slide to more than cover
the length of the embedded piece.
This is the first time I've tried to embed a Flash file since
I upgraded to Captivate 2. Could something have changed on the
Captivate side of things? It still doesn't make sense why the audio
would start playing before the Flash starts, but I'm grasping at
straws here.
Thanks!
Judi

A little additional information:
It isn't just the audio from the embedded Flash that runs
early - it's the actual Flash file. I don't know if this makes any
difference in figuring out what's going on, but thought I'd add
that bit of detail.
Also - I had found out that my Captivate project that I
created the Flash from had gotten corrupted and was hoping that
fixing that would fix this problem as well ... but no such luck...

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.

Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers

Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
that's causing me a few problems.
I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
transparent background, this is the main navigation.
The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
and covers the html page (containing links) below.
The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
(navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
(it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
Because the area below the navigation on
www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
would be a much better example to look at.
http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
file using the code below and aligned using an external style
(.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
also tells the browser to display it's background and as
transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
the table.
3) The flash embed code:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation"
id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie"
value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
scale="exactfit" />
</object>
Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
menu that can be embeded over html?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
Thanks in advance guys!
Adie

BBC Embedded Flash Player - Playback Error

When trying to view video content on the BBC Online websites using an embedded player, I receive the following error regardless of what browser/OS I use;
This content doesn't seem to be working. Please try again later.
The Flash Player detailed error information reads;
Error code : 1024
Severity : critical
Description : No further playback is possible following a mediation error
Responsibility : MediaSelector
Could anyone advise a solution to this problem? I have Flash Player 16.0.0.305 installed.

I have this exact same issue. I've recently built 3 computers for friends, this one I'm typing from being the third.
They're all using windows 7 64bit, all have the same hardware and the same basic software. I've built them about a month apart and the first 2 work perfectly. This last one is having nothing but troubles with the exact issues described by the O.P. except my issues are across all browsers.
IE will play all youtube videos WITHOUT FLASH, but I can't play videos from a site like Steam. So when I put in the newest flash player everything goes to pot. Oddly enough though I will be able to play videos on steam, but that's because steam videos only have 1 resolution and don't try to auto-adjust. Youtube starts to cycle through resolutions, restarting each time, before finally just quitting and giving an error message. Again this happens in both FF and IE (I won't put the spyware known as chrome on any machine).
I've tried every fix and solution I can find for 2 days now and I'm at my wit's end. If I see one suggestion for hardware acceleration I'm going to snap! lol. No spyware, no malware, tried hardware acceleration, tried the official uninstall tool, have uninstalled both browsers (diabled IE from the control panel, I realize that it can't be uninstalled per se), have deleted cookies, deleted a specific windows update that someone mentioned was corrupt. I've done the hokey pokey, sacrificed a goat, thrown salt over my shoulder, and eaten a spoonful of sugar.
I'm about ready to try a fresh install. I just cannot figure out why this computer is having so many problems with flash and every other computer I've done in the last year and a half (around 12) has gone smooth as silk.

Jittery playback in embedded flash videos

Embedded flash videos sometimes, though not always, play with a very jittery or juddery,( it's difficult to explain!), appearance. For example live streams in the ~BBC new website and sometimes in YouTube. in Youtube reducing the picture size seems to help eg from 480p to 360p. This option is not available on the BBC website but unticking the 'enable hardware acceleration' Tickbox in the Flash preferences works. This is the preference panel you get when you right click on a video when it's playing. I am running OS X 10.7.1 and flash player 10.3.183.5. The same thing happens in Safari 5.1, Firefox 6.0 and Chrome 13.0.782.215.
Any explanation or common experience?

HI,
Adobe advises repairing permissions when having problems with embedded video. Give it a try.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

White/Black Screen Problems With Flash Player

I have had a problem with flash player since updating it in November. Certain websites such as YouTube and Worldstarhiphop work perfectly while other websites such as Facebook produce black or white screens when trying to play videos. If you attempt to play a video on a website in which you get the black or white screen, you can still hear the audio. While that is annoying it is only a minor inconvenience, the biggest problem is with other websites that require flash. I currently want to run an internet speed test on my computer but I can not find a website that my flash player will work with. The weird thing is that the animation at (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) plays correctly.
To fix the problem, I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall flash player. I have also tried changing the settings, enabling/disabling hardware acceleration. I feel like I've tried just about everything and I'm running out of ideas. I currently am using flash version 12.0.0.44 through Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.16518. My computer is running on Windows 7. Does anyone have any idea's on how to fix this problem?

I am having the same problems and have tried all the posted solutions with no positive result, so far.
Similar to above… on all of the web pages on which I am unable to see the flash videos, if I click in the flash window to start the video, all I get is audio playback with a black or white screen.
However… If I move the mouse around inside the flash window, I can see that the mouse pointer still reacts wherever the video control buttons are located at the bottom (although I can’t see the buttons, themselves). And if I click the “full screen” button …. usually in the lower right… my view goes to full screen and the video appears!
I don’t know about everyone else, but my problem appears to be limited to:
Specific websites (facebook, most news websites)… I have no problem with Youtube or the Adobe Test Page.
Viewing video in the embedded flash window on the web page... Opening the video to full screen allows me to see it.
I’ve tried this on several of my problem websites with consistent “success” at viewing videos. It's an annoying solution, but at least I can see the videos.

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!
file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Desktop/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIV E%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.html
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.
