Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash
<div id="flashContent">

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

    I've added the files to the Baggage Files and the Multimedia

    Any suggestions?

  • Movie plays in iTunes but not on ATV2

    Too bizarre.... I have the original 2 discs of a great German movie - Das Boot - which I converted (using Handbrake) into 2 separate m4v files and then combined (using QT Pro 7.6.6) into one file which saves as a .mov file. Plays fine using Quicktime (any version) and even plays fine in iTunes, but doesn't play at all through ATV2. If I highlight the movie in iTunes and then (under the Advanced menu) try to "Create iPad or Apple TV Version" I'm told that it's already in the correct format. I tried converting the .mov file to m4v using Handbrake and the resulting file (m4v) plays fine in iTunes and QT (any version) but in ATV2 the second disc part has no audio (but the subtitles have always been OK). I went to the Handbrake forum but nobody seems to know how to fix the problem or they simply aren't answering my questions. My final attempt to solve the problem is to export (using QT Pro 7.6.6) "Movie to Apple TV" but it's looking like it's going to take a few hours to convert a 3 1/2 hr movie file (about 2 GB) and I have my doubts that it'll even finish the conversion or that it will play on ATV2 ultimately. Does anyone have any idea what's happening and how I can fix the problem?

  • Flash Movie works when testing, but not in application

    My flash movie works when I "Test Movie" within Flash 8 or
    when I press F12 and open it in the browser, but it only show the
    dynamic text, not the pictures when I place it within my page. The
    dynamic text changes properly but no images are displayed.

    I suspect this is where my issue lies, but I am not sure how
    to fix it. I have attached some code that defines the image
    location. I am able to successfully retrieve documents with the
    following, is this the same type of scenerio,

  • Images enlarge and movies play in iweb, but not when published

    Everything works fine in the program, but when published to site or folder, photos are there, but won't enlarge. The movie thumbnail shows with the little movie icon in the corner, but clicking does nothing.

    On all of your pages  you have an image that appears to cover the photos preventing them from being clicked on.
    Move it to the back via the Arrange menu or get rid of it.
    How did you add the videos to the page?  If you just dragged them onto the page or used the movie page then iWeb will have to upload them when it publishes the page and all will load when the page is accessed which can cause long loading time for the page. 
    Also thre are some files missing for the TV page as seen in the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page. Publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open it there.  Check to see if the movies play OK (after you fix that overlaying image issue). If they do then the problem lies in the uploading of the files.
    If those files are Quicktime then the viewers must have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to view them.  See this page on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site for methods of presenting movies that will let all computers view them: Player-Showcase.html.  See the list at the right for different players you can use.

  • Flash movie in director heard but not seen... mostly not seen!

    Using flash i made a flash movie to use as an intro to my

    placed it on the stage. When i play the director file i can hear
    the audio from the flash movie but cannot see the flash movie,
    untill right near the end i have an image on a motion tween in the
    flash movie which i can see.
    Can anybody tell me why i cannot see the rest of the flash
    movie?

    Hi Ajrobson,
    I'm guessing you're using Flash 8 and haven't updated
    Director for Flash 8
    compatibility.
    Go to:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/director/downloads.html
    make sure you've downloaded and installed the 10.1 update.
    Then install the 10.1.1
    update. This will update your Flash support.

  • .mov playing in iTunes but not Quicktime

    Please bear with me as I try to explain this as best as possible.
    I have an issue where .mov files will not play properly in quicktime (i.e. skipping, static, just messing up). However .mov files all work fine in iTunes and with other video apps.  The odd part that confuses me is that I can play .mov files off quicktime fine from my external hard drive...but the errors happen in quicktime when I play the files off the computer.
    Help? Suggestions anyone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Gosh it took me a half hour to log back in here .. I sometimes think they differentiate between the iTunes password and the Apple password .. so irritating.
    Okay .. there is something I just found out that is important for me so obviously I am not an expert on this but now I am sure it is a codec that must be your problem and the reason why it is happening on your computer as opposed to (what did you say you were successful at using it on .. an external hard drive) your external hard drive is that the hard drive probably does not have other codecs installed. I have a million codecs (*.dll, *.ax) and if you do a search for those file types in your QuickTime folder you will see quite a few of them. I think though also there are some under Sys32 .. you know the Windows folder.
    okay so now
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=574d5633
    that link has some outside codecs that install on QuickTime .... BUT the thing that may be even more important is that if you are like me perhaps I did not purchase the
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL837
    QuickTime Pro 7 registration code
    I have tried to purchase as many codes or codecs that I could to make my QuickTime Pro work better .. and there has been no message for me to purchase a registration code after the one that I already have. But also I purchased the MPEG 2 codec and I am sort of lost on that one because I have to find out if that has an upgrade.   The thing is .. is the version of QuickTime Player that I just installed SEPARATE from iTunes .. usually I upgrade them both at the same time but I was trying to see if there were some codecs that I could purchase separately for my QuickTime Pro and I noticed on the Apple QuickTime site that their version was higher than the one last installed with iTunes. So now I installed the separate QuickTime Pro lates version (I thought .. but when does that ever apply for longer than 24 hours ... geez I get tired of all of this upgrading!) and it says it is  Version 7.7 (1680.34) ... which is annoying when you now ask a question about why there is no codec in your QuickTime Pro to be allowing it to open an *.avi file and it sends you to the link of the iTunes download (with QuickTime of course which is about 90 MBs .. at least ) and all the upgrade version says is 7.7! 
    This is all too frustrating I know. You have to really make sure that your iTunes program though is NOT associating with the *.mov file type. You have to see what program is associated with the *.mov and the *.qt file types. Then also like me check to see if you need to buy this QuickTime Pro 7 registration code. Then also do a scan of your *.dll and *.ax codecs and see if you have one that is interfering with the QuickTime Pro playing *.mov files.
    Do you have another media player program besides iTunes and QuickTime?  Like for example Windows Media Player?  I have plenty and have been trying to get enough codecs so that I can just use all of the programs with all of the file types. (good luck)   
    well anyway hope I did not confuse you   - If you find out anything about the QuickTime Pro 7 Registration code versus the 6 (I bought my QuickTime Pro way before even 6 came in) then let me know.

  • Help, I'm drowning...movies play on computer but not in DVD players

    a problem i seem to have with my videos is that when I am done, they play on computers using dvd player apps but when I burn them to a DVD to play in a DVD player they do not play correctly. It drops frames or looks like they skip or something..For instance they play for a couple of seconds, stop, continue to play, stop, continue to play...this goes on throughout the entire video.
    What causes this to happen? I've experimented with different compression formats and get the same outcome. I also tried both DVD studio and Toast to burn the DVD and get same results with both.
    Is there a basic setting that I am over looking? What is the format that everyone uses when using Compressor? Currently I go from FCP, to Compressor, to DVD...I have nearly went through all the compressor formats and still get jerky,stop/play/stop/play video when going to the DVD format....
    HELP...what am I over looking??

    "....and you still haven't converted your audio to Dolby2 as I've suggested since my first post."
    YES It was converted in compressor to a Dolby/ac3 file this morning when i mentioned it in my last post .."that I re-compressed it again as a "Best Quality 90...." and said that it fixed about 95% of the jerkiness..."
    And since your first post i've only been at the project since this morning...not last night.and it was the first thing i tackled (and tried) when i got in ..When I posted the issue i was at home and not at the office, so Iwas not able to try anything until this morning
    So let me re-explain what I have done to the file since 7:30 this AM..
    I re-sent it to compressor, compressed at Best 90/Dolby ->AC3....I then opened DVDsp...I dragged both files...(the Mpeg file and the AC3 to the DVDsp window...Simulated and burned..I burn two copies. one for me, one for the client...we use two different DVD players. He says its still a lil jerky...I reply saying yes I saw it on my disc as well.
    SO with being said and the file IS currently a dolby AC3...why would it still be jerky?
    Would it have anything to do with footage being ripped from another disc?
    I really appreciate the help you offering but it sounds like you are being condescending trough your answers and making it seem as though i am not doing what you suggest.

    Hi mp, I had to go back to your other thread, which I would like you to do. Go here and find Post#7. I need to know what Flash Files are Installed. If you need direction to locate the Flash folder, just tell me. What it sounds like is that the Flash files for IE are not correct. So, we need to find out.

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.
