Problems uploading Flash website

I'm trying to upload my Flash website. I inserted my index.fla file in Dreamweaver and saved it as an html. I then uploaded the html on the FTP and now the website is showing up blank. Where did I go wrong?

Hi,
Make sure you embed your swf on your html page and upload both. The fla (original Adobe Flash file) don't need to be uploaded on your server. To upload your html page, you can use Dreamweaver buit-in FTP or your favorite one. Make sure your target audience has the right flash player or your animation won't play.
Hope this help !

Your thoughts on problems with flash websites on mac....

Hi there,
A client has asked me to put together some information on mac vs. pc and browser differences or problems someone might find on a flash site. I had originally thought flash was supposed to behave the same no matter what platform or browser, but apparently this is not the case?
Anyhow, I am looking for your thoughts and experiences on this topic. Anything relevant would be very helpful.
They did have a specific question they are also looking to answer as well-
How to find the flash token and deleting for a Mac for registering a computer?
and similarly ... Where to find the flash object on the operating system?
Just looking at comments regarding flash websites here, not flash software
Thanks so much for your help and advice!

All sorted, did not realise that the internet plug ins check box had been unchecked some how.

Encore CS4 problem uploading flash streams to remote ftp in build

Hi
I'm working on a windows XP and trying to upload to my my remote server which has a new install of the Adobe Flash Streaming Media Server 3.5
as for Encore
under build when creating a streaming flash I can't log into my ftp site, only to local folder.
I created a link to my ftp site under networks, when trying to link to this FTP Encore won't accept it.
no problem creating flash progressive downloads but impossible to upload the streaming version.
progressive is really not the desired output.
how can I log onto the ftp site?
thanks in advance
Klaus

If FTP still doesnt work for you, please try uploading videos to FTP server without using Encore (try windows FTP or a FTP client). If you cannot upload videos anyway, the problem could be with FTP server configuration.
Following are the steps to setup your streaming server. (Steps are for Microsoft IIS FTP server on WinXP. You can use another server also)
1. You have to install a Flash Media Server 3.5 and a FTP server for this. FMS 3.5 free developer edition can be downloaded from www.adobe.com
2. Install IIS on winXP from Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (You may need a windowsXP installation DVD)
3. Configure FTP server to point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod\media" folder
(FTP server can be configured from IIS window in Control Panel > Administrative Tools> IIS. Right click Default FTP site > Properties > Home Directory Tab > Set Local Path to "FMS3\applications\vod\media\media" folder)
4. Encore streaming script for the server will still point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod" and not to Media folder inside Vod. (For example, if FMS server name is amgupta, FLV streaming location will be "rtmp://{FMServerName}/vod/"
5. Encore streaming script should be updated at 2 places with the new server names. ("rtmp://FMSservername/vod/flv:" and ftp://FTPservername ). The script is located at "X\Adobe Encore CS4\Required\flashExportScript\localFMS.jsx" where X is the install location of Encore CS4)
Hope this works.

Uploading flash website problem

I made a website in flash and everything is working fine in
the files. When I tested the site on my computer everything was
working just the way it should. However when I finally uploaded it
to my server not everything worked. I had 3 galleries that wont
load, videos that start playing automaticlly( I have them stopped
until the user hits play) and a music player that works great
except one song does not play. I am so confused as to what is
happening I do not even know how to fix it. I have tried loading
the site to 2 different servers and the same problem happens on
both, my files work fine, just not on the internet. Has this happen
to anyone and more importantly do you know how to fix it? I really
need to get this site up soon and I don't know what to do.
Any suggest would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi manada,
Issues like these are usually something very simple, just not
always obvious.
>I had 3 galleries that wont load, videos that start
playing automaticlly
>and a music player that works great except one song does
not play
I assume you are loading these externally into your main
movie?
If so, are you using actionscript which references the _root
timeline?
If you are, try to add:
this._lockroot = true;
on the first frame on the _root timeline of each movie. See
if this helps!
Another issue would be that the server might not allow script
access from Active content...but you have uploaded to 3 different
servers, it's hard to believe none of them allow it.
maybe its worth looking into?
Try that, and see how it goes. if you are still having
problems, post a link to the site, and i'm sure we will find a
solution.

I have the same problem. The folder "scripts" solved it the first time.
But now I have created a second page for the same site with a Flash slideshow (done with SlideShowPro). I tried everything I can think of but the Flash slideshow doesn't appear on the uploaded site. It does very well locally, but once uploaded, nothing happens. The "Scripts" folder is in place, the "_notes" folders are in place in each folder (the main one and each of the Flash folders).
Here are the 2 pages containing Flash elements :

I must have forgotten something somewhere, but I search since 5 hours now…
If someone has an idea !!!
Thanks for helping me.
I must add that I'm new to forums and not a Dreamweaver specialist (ask me about Photoshop or Illustrator, I will be much better !!…)

Problem uploading Flash in HTML in windows

Apologies if this has been uploaded before but i cannot seem
to find the solution. I've designed a Flash site and converted it
to a html document under 'publish settings' (i've done this in the
past many times) but when uploaded to my server it does not load.
Even if i send it as a attached document with an email it doesn't
load. Any help would be much appreciated.

Does it work on your machine before uploading it to the
server?
It is worth checking on your web server that the swf file is
relative to the html in the same way as it is on your local
machine. i.e. if the swf and html file are in the same folder on
your local machine, make sure that they are on the web
server.

Problems uploading via FTP-host

I have very often (most of the time actually) problems uploading a website via the FTP-host. Changes I made are often not uploaded etc. Is this a common problem or am I the only one?

Please provide more details as what exactly is not updating while ftp upload process , is it any text , image etc ? does this happens with a specific page or any page ? The changes should get update once you upload the files to same location , unless there is any sync issue with server.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Flash website problem / jpg in xml does not show in different browsers

Hello Everyone,
I am working on a flash website which is almost finished.
My problem is that I created dynamic loading content, so the contents in the flash ( Most of them) loads from .xml files. This xml contains text and jpg.
when i test the movie and final html it works perfectly and xml loads with all its contents in any browser.
but when I upload the website through FTP, the xml shows very strange ! . In IE only half of the jpgs loads and some content repeat itself, while in firefox none of the jpg loads.
The only images I can see are the one that I have directly put on the flash pages.
Does anyone knows a solution? I am desperatly trying to figure this out!!
I appriciate your answers.
Kara
the website address: http://www.hofstede-symposium.eu/

I could figure the problem just right now. so Easy!!
I just changed the slash es in xml . So if the original one was : "thumbnail\my.jpg " I chanegd the slash forward "thumbnail/my.jpg". I also put the xml file, my images and swf. file in the same folder.
I tried it and it worked in firefox, google chrome and IE.
Hope it helped!!

Firefox 3.6.8 still having problems loading heavy Flash websites

Upgraded to latest 3.6.8 Firefox version and noting it is still having issues loading heavy flash websites. Takes 5 to 6 times longer to load a webpage if there is Flash on it. I do have the latest version of Flash installed according to Adobe's website so that's not the culprit. Will be uninstalling this latest version and rolling back to the copy of 3.6.3 version I kept which worked great with all flash websites. Waiting for the problem to get fixed before I update again...hoping they can fix this. I noticed this problem starting back with version 3.6.6 and still hasn't been fixed with 3.6.8...
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.tsn.ca

The problem affects this page: [ http://gronnbil.no/biler]
The strange thing is that whenever I load the page with Firebug activated for this page, it renders the Flash instantly. But hardly ever (it does happen now and then, but mostly not) when I'm not using Firebug. I have tried disabling all plugins, running in Safe Mode, but it didn't help. I use Mac OS X 10.6.4 64-bit, FF 3.6.8. Ideas, anyone?

Flash Player problem in specific website

Hi,
A month ago, I had problems with Flash Player when accessing http://eterna.cmu.edu/content/EteRNA from my girlfriend laptop. The chat room rendering is messy; all elements (textbox, button, title, ...) lied on each other. The game itself didn't render at all. The weirdest thing was that all this worked on my own laptop. At first, I thought that maybe it was a programming problem, since this was the only website acting like this with Flash objects, but today, my girlfriend subscribed to a website where the same thing happened.
Here what I've done to solve the problem:
1- Uninstall Flash Player with the official Flash Unistaller and restarted the computer
2- Go to "about" page of Flash Player to make sure all is uninstalled
3- Install Flash v10.2 r153 and test the page (Firefox 3.6.16 and IE 8.0.16.6001.19019), nothing worked
4- Redo step 1 and 2
5- Download and install the latest version of Chrome since it has embedded Flash Player
6- Test the page again, always the same problem
7- Redo step 1 in command line with -force option
8- Search for Macromedia Folder, files, ..., but found nothing
9- Reinstall the whole thing, always got the problem
Here is the problematic system setup:
Vista 32 bits
Firefox 3.6.16
IE 8.0.16.6001.19019
Chrome 10.0.648.204
I am a little desperate here, please help
Thanks

Well, I get rid of the problem by first uninstall Flash Player with the official uninstaller and by following the procedure "Adobe Flash Player Manual Removal Instructions"
at http://www.finaluninstaller.com/blog/ut/how-to-uninstall-adobe-flash-player.html. Since the procedure is meant for Windows XP, I had to search for additionnal folder location for Vista. In section 3, "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\" should be replace by "C:\Users\[your user profile]\AppData\Local", "C:\Users\[your user profile]\AppData\LocalLow" and "C:\Users\[your user profile]\AppData\Roaming" to be searched for the indicated subfolder. I also deleted Registry Entries indicated in section 4. Half of the entries were removed, so I had to get rid of the other half. I restarted the computer and reinstalled Flash, that's all.
I am a little disapointed that the official Uninstaller from Adobe didn't performed its task properly. Hope this will help enhance the tool.
Regards

Flash website- problems with sizing on different computers- code to resize based on browser/screen resolution

Ok Guys-
So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
www.nicksdesign.com/flash
I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in
flash, and the problem is...
I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i
published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great-
the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.
However-
I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are
required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see
all the content on the 100% flash website.
My question-
Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML,
based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same
browser]
Any help would be SUPER appreciated
Best Regards,
Nick Smith

I took a look at your html source code, I notice that your
size of width sets at 1270 while height sets at 537. The width is
way too wide.
Secondly, flash-based website aren't that cool.
Finally, you probably get a better help from Flash forum
participants. This forum is all about Dreamweaver-related topics,
and is not about how to create or design Flash for the first time.
Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
Cheers, Brian

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen using the + to home screen option won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)
i need to reboot to stop it and I'm stuck with loads of homescreen icons on my iPad

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. If you like using website icons you can bookmark them as Favorites and they'll be on your Safari page instead of your homescreen and they're much easier to get rid of. Also you could turn on Favorites bar by going to settings> Safari> show Favorites bar> on. See screenshot.
