Published as Flash, Flash will not play in PowerPoint

I have published a Captivate Movie as a Flash file. When I
click on the Shockwave Object in the folder I saved it to, it will
not play. I have Flash and Shockwave installed on my computer.
I need to import that Flash file into a PowerPoint.
Help!

Hi mmmurphy1 and welcome to our community
When you click it from Explorer, do you get the generic
Windows prompt where Windows is asking you what to do? If so, just
try pointing at Internet Explorer and clicking the check box for
using it always for this option. See if that helps.
Hope so... Rick

Flash Video will not play anywhere.

In my hunt to solve this problem, I've come across a lot of
posts where people have embedded FLV files in HTML documents and
can play them fine on their local computer. But once posted to a
server, they will not play.
Well, my problem is similar except it won't play on my local
computer either. I'm using Dreamwever 8 and Sorenson Squeeze 3.1 to
compress my flash video. I have followed the steps outlined in this
tutorial,
and the end result just displays a white box where my video should
be. You can view my test
here.
The thing is, the tutorial's flash video works perfectly when
tested locally and on a remote server. And since all my code is the
same as the tutorial (and all the .swf and .js files were created
normally), this leads me to believe it has something to with my
.flv file. I have tried several configurations and compression
settings in Squeeze, but still nothing.
The FLV also works fine when linked into a SWF file using the
Media Component as you can see
here.
So is Sorenson Squeeze 3.1 out of date? Is there something in
the way it encodes the flash video that prevents it from being
played this way? Or is there some other (preferably inexpensive)
solution?

I should have mentioned that I'm working on a mac, so an

that Riva program on a PC and it crashed on the first try and on
the second, it gave a warning that my source file would not work.
For now, I've worked around the problem by using Flash 8 and
embedding the .swf that links to the .flv file. But it would have
been nice to get dreamweaver's FLV player to work and bypass Flash
all together.

Flash Player is enabled, ActiveX Filtering disabled, yet Flash videos will not play in Internet Explorer 11

I have enabled Flash Player in add-ons for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1. I also disabled ActiveX Filtering as instructed while trouble shooting... Yet, videos still will not play on webpages shown in Internet Explorer. How can I fix this, since I have already followed instructions from Adobe completely? Flash Player is supposedly already be installed in Internet Explorer 11, but it is NOT working.

Long story short, the video site is probably going to need to change their content before it works in IE11+. I'd need some links to affected pages to tell you for sure (and even then, the complexity of websites these days makes debugging pretty painful).
In the meantime, you might just want to use Chrome for the sites that otherwise don't work.

Flash player will not play flvs from folder with name containing non-Roman Chars

We're trying to play flash as part of a program that can be installed to locations including non-Roman chars (European, Arabic, Chinese, etc.). When the installation path includes any non Roman chars, video will not play. The non-roman chars are garbled when Flash tries to load the flvs. Correct non-Roman chars are: ńśćłł. When loading video it gets translated to: Ĺ„Ĺ›Ä‡Ĺ‚Ĺ‚
We've found this happens whether we are trying to access the video from the xulrunner app or by taking the activities out and running them within an html frame.

Not exactly sure what you are doing, but it is obvious that some part of the program you are running does not support multibyte characters like Unicode.
If you are developing that application, make sure it is Unicode enabled. If it is Flash (or Flash Player) that doesn't understand it, then you may not be able to do anything about it.
What I would try if I were to encounter the situation, I would try to use the DOS (8.3) path names, like C:\Documents and Settings would normally be C:\DOCUME~1 or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users would be C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1 etc.
Use the DIR /X command to find out what the DOS folder names are.

Certain flash movies will not play - including Adobe TV movies with Dreamweaver tutorials

For months, certain .swf movies will not play. No error, won't even load the player. I thought it was because of IE8 which I installed several months ago. Now I loaded Firefox and Opera and the movies still do not play in those browsers either. At least I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference".
I have newly installed Dreamweaver CS4 and when I launch it, there are links to Adobe TV videos. These will not play. Here is an example of a video that will not play: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/
I have googled the error but the results seem to be developers talking about code in Action Script 3.
Can someone please help? I have spent hours trying to get this resolved.
My Flash Player version is 10,0,45,2 and I had the issue when I was at 10,0,32 whatever as well.

Ya, it's a very old post. This forum actually has a very high response rate (more than 90%+) thanks to people like Pat, Carl and Xircal who volunteer their time and knowledge to help the community.

Flash Movie will not play

I cant seem to get a flash movie to play. It was originally a
MPG that I
first tried convertinng to a flash movie via the Flash Video
Encoder...that
does not seem to want to play.
Then I imported the MPG file into flash, converted it to a
SWF...and I can
play it on my decktop, but will not play once uploaded. I can
play it in DW,
but not on the web.
I know there is something there..
Anyone have a suggestion??

Ok, I have uploaded the clearoverplaysedmute.swf and the
corresponding fla
file... What am I still not doing or doing wrong?

Streaming flash video will not play automatically. Must move the mouse off the link

I have 4 computers, all running Win7. On every one, Internet explorer. 2 have firefox 3. 2 have firefox 4. When clicking a link on a website that has live streaming video (flash) - the stream changes to the next one and the video feed begins right away. Works fine on all 4 computers in IE, and in both Firefox 3. The video starts when the mouse is clicked, or when the screen is refreshed. On both computers with firefox4 - the mouse click loads the new feed, but the video hangs on a white screen until the mouse pointer moves. same problem when the feeds are set to auto-rotate. they load every 30 seconds, but unless I physically move the mouse, no video plays (or click the 'next feed' button again, which gives a split-second peek at the video feed I am navigating away from), I need to monitor many security cameras, and this is excruciating. Safe mode does not help. I have the newest versions of everything. please tell me this is a bug and not someone's bright idea

Adobe Flash Player will not play my .flv video

I redered a 5 min editing from Premier CS4 as steaming FLV, but if I try to play it in Adobe Flash Player, the player will open with white background and not play the movie. The file is playing though in other players like Adobe Media Player. Is there something special about a movie flv to play in AFP?
Thank you,

FLV needs to be inside of a SWF container that manages it's playback. The Media Player provides that for you, but the standalone Flash Player doesn't. So you can make one in Flash easily with components, or you can just download any one of the many free ones (for example, I've personally used Jeroen Wing's "JV Player" from longtail)

My flash template will not play using flash player 7 onwards only 6???

action script in flash 7 and 8 was changes slightly and not
all things
are compatible from flash 6 files.
Go to file - publish setting and under FLASH tab select
version 6 and action script 1.0
This could help. Else you have no choice but redo the
template so it is new player
compatible.

Certain Flash Videos Will Not Play (e.g. uStream live)

I'm having trouble getting certain videos to play. None of the live feeds on www.ustream.tv work. Nor do the videos on www.mtv.ca, nor those on www.kelbytraining.com. They all used to work just fine. Now, I just get a perpetual loading graphic. They all work fine in IE.
I've read the other threads relating to this and no luck. I've cleared my Macromedia and Adobe Flash Player caches in the %appdata% folder, cleared everything using CCleaner, disabled hardware acceleration in the flash player settings, disabled all of my plug-ins, permitted all inbound and outbound connections in my Panda firewall, disabled Panda firewall entirely, updated my flash player, updated firefox...and nothing seems to solve it.
Can someone please use your witchcraft to make it work again?
Thanks

Adobe Flash Player will not play videos on a specific website.

I use windows 8.1 with a 64-bit operating system and and a x64-based processor. The browser is Firefox 35.0.1 and the Adobe Flash 16.0.0.305. When i attempt to view a video and a specific website the flash player displays its loading circle status before it would normally buffer but continues to load indefinitely and when i attempt to select a quality in the settings (which quality doesn't matter) the player displays a static like picture with he message: An error occurred please try again later, learn more. This has not changed since around 1pm EST. I can however watch YouTube videos without any such difficulty. This is the page in question:http://kissanime.com/Anime/Selector-Spread-WIXOSS/Episode-001?id=80934
Prior to this i have tried uninstalling and re-installing the flash player as well as following the troubleshooting guide provided by adobe as is found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html
Any help with this issue would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hi all btw, here`s my problem, I play at many online casinos and there is a problem with a certain software (Vegas), here`s what happens, okay i`m playing a slot with no problems and then I hit a bonus round and the screen inside the casino window just goes black, here`s a screenshot.. http://img148.imageshack.us/i/fproblem.jpg/
My OS is XP home, This problem may have arisen from a virus I had a few months ago, as I used to have np`s whatsoever at these casinos, normal flash content runs perfectly in any browser I use Opera/FF/IE, I have tried so many remedies from re-installing my flash players and addons/plugins, different security programmes, and registry stuff, but nothing works, really pulling my hair out now (and I don`t have much lol), so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flash will not play in Mozilla/Firefox

I just can't seem to figure out why my flash movie will not
play in Mozilla/Firefox,
Here is a link to the page
http://www.z1multimedia.com/Demo/CassaItalia/site_flash/index_1A.html
It plays fine on Safari

Perhaps if you actually looked at your html you would see
that you have
stuffed up your SWF file names .. you've got different urls
for the swf ie
tries to play vs what firefox/mozilla tries to play. Its just
very basic
common-sense checks .. like spell checking a document.
