Progressive Flash Not playing properly from remote server

I have Flash CS3.
PROBLEM: I've encoded a video using Flash's CS3 "Progressive
Download" option and then uploaded the resulting video (along with
it's associated files created by Flash ie: .fla, .swf, script
folder with action script, etc.) to my server (webpage and video
was created through Dreamweaver CS3).
RESULT: A flash video that plays on the web, but has pink
colored digital boxes that breakup the picture... poor quality.
Please follow this link for an example:
http://rivhawk.tripod.com/index.html
I've watched multiple step-by-step tutorials by Adobe for
creating and uploading Flash video, both with Flash CS3 and even
Dreamweaver CS3. I've tested by creating the flash content in Flash
CS3 and directly through Dreamweaver. The same digital noise, pink
blocks occured.
NOTE: Before uploading the flash content and associated
files, I tested the flash video in my browser through Dreamweaver
(from my local directory, not remote server)...and it
plays/operates perfectly. It's only once it's uploaded that the
problem occurs.
I've encoded the video with Flash 8 and Flash 9 at low,
medium and high qualities...same results (even by different
computers accessing the content on the internet). It happens in
Firefox and Internet Explorer.
After 3 days of tests and research (and viewing samples of
other beautiful progressive download videos on the internet) I'm
wondering if I am missing something very simple, if there is a bug,
is this a known issue etc.
Please help, and please understand that I've been through all
the tutorials on creating/using Flash Video...and specifically
using the Progressive Download option for use on remote servers
that don't have the Flash Media Server.
Please assist.

You can play video from any server by using a full URL ie
http://www.anotherdomain.com/flashvideo.flv
<param name="movie" value="videos/rep.swf" />
Looks like you're building an FLV player in Flash to play
your video rather
than embedding it using DW. If so you need to open the source
FLA you used
to generate 'rep.swf' and insert a full URL to your flv file,
then publish
the swf and upload again.

an error saying the

requesting?
As above, or you can just embed the video on a web page in
DW, using a full
URL to your flv. If your flvs are on a server and you are
connected to the
internet, you should be able to play the flv using preview in
browser before
uploading the page.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • HT1657 I downloaded a film for rental from itunes and it will not play properly,why?

    I rented a film last evening The book of Kells and it will not play properly.  My computer has more than enough memory or whatever it needs and I am using an account I have used in the past with success.  The films starts, then stops, then speeds ahead like it is not successfully loaded.  Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Where did you download it to and is it a purchase or rental.

  • In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    in my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack.  Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
    Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones.  Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
    Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons?  Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds.  Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons.  It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation.  Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
    If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings.  If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
    Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem.  If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

  • Songs not playing properly on 3rd gen iPod (click wheel)

    I have a large amount of songs on my iTunes and iPod, and I often buy new music (from sources other than iTunes) to add to me collection. After updating my iPod last night to add a new album that I purchased, I noticed today that certain songs on my iPod would not play properly. When they come up in the cue or are selected to play manually, they appear on the screen, stay at "0:00 elapsed" for a second or two, then the iPod simply switches to the next cued song, as if this song has come to an end. If it's the only song in the cue, the iPod reverts to the general Menu screen.
    I checked my iTunes to see that the songs were still in my library and that I did not move or delete the source. None of the affected songs had the "This song cannot be found" exclamation point next to them, and they all played fine on my computer through iTunes, but they simply wouldn't work on the iPod. I updated my iPod tonight in hopes that the mistake would correct itself, but nothing's happened.
    Since this is a rare problem, I haven't been able to find any FAQs or solutions regarding it. I hope someone has the answer.
    Thanks for your time.

    I have the exact same thing happening. I just bought the new Foo Fighters album, the songs play on iTunes, but will not play on my iPod. I have updated my iTunes and iPod to try to get it to play with no success. With the iPod in the sourcelist, I can play the songs from the iPod music list, but not once the iPod is undocked from my PC the song titles come up for a brief second then skip to the next song on the album without ever playing any audio. I even tried to delete the album and reload it. Never had this happen with any other songs, artists, etc.

  • Flash not playing on Mac OS 10.6.8, Flash 11.8.800.94, Firefox 22.0

    Flash not playing on Mac OS 10.6.8, Flash 11.8.800.94, Firefox 22.0
    Let me also say this flash does work in Safari... just not Firefox. When a flash media link is clicked on FF will go to the link but only a black window appears with no text or error messages or sound.
    As far as I know I am running the latest version of Firefox and Flash. I have no plans to upgrade from Snow Leopord to Lion.
    Another possible data point for this is Flash updates do not install just by clicking on the download. The DMG downloads but I get an unknown data type when it trys to launch. There is an easy work-around for this be simply launching the DMG from Finder where it runs just fine.
    Any thoughts as to why Firefox is not running Flash media files?

    See: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5560631#5560631
    Also, check Tools>Addons to be sure the latest plugin is enabled

  • Youtube videos do not play properly

    I appreciate any suggestions with this problem. I have a Mac G4 laptop (PowerPC) running OS 10.4
    Most web videos do not play properly on my computer, especially if they use Adobe Flash Player. (QuickTime videos play fine.)
    I have had my internet connections checked by my provider, and the speed is very good, and the configuration is OK, so they do not understand why I am having trouble. When I try to play YouTube videos, I get a slideshow, with a new frame every 2 or 3 seconds. I have tried using my computer on my friend's internet connection, and it has the same problem. My friend can watch the same YouTube video perfectly well on his own computer, even though his download speed is much slower than mine.
    I have already tried the following fixes several times:
    complete uninstall of old versions of Flash Player
    reinstall of the latest version of Flash Player. (My computer does recognize that the player is there, as I said, it just plays the video as a slideshow.)
    Repairing permissions and restarting
    resetting Safari, manually clearing cache, cookies, etc. (Although I also have the same problem in Firefox)
    Downgrading to Flash Player 9
    Trashing QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
    Trying to trash all DivX files (I don't have any, it turns out)
    making sure audio midi settings are for 44.1
    trashing the Macromedia preferences folder
    None of these things have helped me. Thank you in advance for any other ideas of things to try.

    Rogerskth,
    Sorry, I wasn't clear. My computer NEVER played flash videos properly, with any version of Flash. Considering that Flash is maxxing out my CPU power (as measured by the Activity Meter) I suppose that slow CPU speed really IS the cause of my problem. Since you have a faster computer, and your computer used to play the videos OK, it seems likely that your problem is SOME OTHER mysterious problem.
    Bungee33,
    You might be pleased to know that in English we have the same expression as the German which you quoted
    "we in Germany say, that a horse given as a present must not be critizised  by judging the teeth in the mouth of the animal"
    In English, we say "don't look a gift horse in the mouth." 

  • Drag and drop from remoter server

    Drag and drop from remoter server I get this<img src="../My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/4coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc="http://www.jonsered.ws" /> what I want is this <img src="http://www.jonsered.ws/coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc= />
    the first one does not work on the web
    How is this done?

    When you click on a file (drag & drop) in Remote Server panel, DW GETS the file and places it in your Local Site folder.
    Your local site is defined in DW as ./My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/.  Hence the path name change.
    Make sense?

  • Can't call a VI from remote server

    I have a VI running on a labview development machine(Labview 2010), the main function is handling excel report using report generator. I follow the link http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14469/en to set up labview machine and teststand machine respectly. But when I tried to call the VI from remote server, it is still not able to load the VI front panel and show the connectors. See the  attachment. It looks like it still trying to load VI from local drive because it can't find the builded-in subvis for report generator function.
    What should I do to make it work? Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.
    Attachments:
    TestStand error.png ‏107 KB

    For those interested in the solution, the problem turned out to be two things.
    The first is if you want to be able to load a prototype of the VI in TestStand, you will need to either share the VI or create a dummy VI. If the shared VI uses subVIs you do not have access to, then you are better of creating a dummy VI that has matching connector panes.
    The second problem had to do with how the remote VI path was specified. If you have shared the VI, then you will enter in the shared folder path as your remote VI path. If you have not shared it, then you will need to enter in the VI path as it is on the remote machine.

  • Captivate 8:  Getting this message "Unable to locate LMS's API, content may not play properly".  Then I get a debug message of "44:Tue Feb 17 2015 : InIsLoaded, returning false".  Has anyone else seen this?

    Captivate 8:  Getting this message "Unable to locate LMS's API, content may not play properly".  Then I get a debug message of "44:Tue Feb 17 2015 : InIsLoaded, returning false".  I also see a message in the preview pane when I view the .htm file in the project folder "This course requires JavaScript to be enabled in your browser.  Please enable JavaScript, then relaunch the course."   JavaScript is already enabled and I'm getting this in IE9 and Chrome 40....Has anyone else seen this? 

    The first part of your issue will be resolved if you load your course from an LMS. If you are not hosting your content on LMS, you can disable the reporting in your Quiz settings (Edit > Preferences > Quiz > Reporting).

    "The message from Doug Peets <[email protected]> concerning “Fires” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    I get this error message several times per day, even on my Sent mail box, and Drafts, which clearly does not need to be downloaded (does it?). It usually happens when I switch mailboxes, from In to Sent, to Drafts and so on.
    I have 100 Gigs of hard drive with 90 Gigs free. I have about 6,700 saved incoming e-mails and 4,700 sent e-mails.
    TRhis has only started happening in the last couple months. How do i get rid of it? Is it because i have too many saved e-mails?
    When I shut down Mail and re-open it, the messages display properly, but this is a nuisance several times per day.
    Thanks,
    Doug.

    Thanks. I moved half of the messages to a new mailbox "old e-mails", then copied that to a new folder on my desk top, which saved it with a .mbox suffix, then emptied the Old e-mails mailbox in Mail. I will repeat this every three months.
    So far, so good.

  • Debug flex app loaded from remote server

    host ip/name where a flash/flex debugger runs. When I give
    localhost/127.0.0.1, it fails and displays the dialog box again. Is
    there a way to connect the swf from remote server to connect to a
    debug console inside the FB2 ide?

    Well, I ran all commands shipped with FB2and found out that
    fdb does connect and allows to "continue". Still the in IDE
    developing experience and quick turn around isn't there. Is there a
    way to get the URL from which the swf was loaded from within the
    swf, so that if its a remote server, I can get data from it, else
    its in debug state, so I can get data from some hard coded
    host.

    Hi,
    I want to delete files from a directory on remote server.
    I use the following command to delete on current server:
    find $srcdir -mtime +90 -name "COR*.txt" -exec rm -f {} \;
    Now, how can I delete files from remote server ?
    Thanks!

    Some possible options:
    1. There exists SSH implementation for Windows.
    2. You can make a workaround. You can setup share for specific/wanted directory.
    Then you can mount it on Linux machine and execute command localy and delete files "localy" in mounted directory.
    3. You can setup FTP server on Windows machine and do that remotely via FTP commands.
