Published F4v video and html plays locally but not online...

I am running Windows 7/64 and Master Collection. I've created a clip of DV NTSC footage to test F4V publishing. Done this many times with CS3 and flv files but this has me stumped. I can successfully view the video and web page locally in IE and Netscape but on upload to my server I have the menu and placement right but no video appears. I created the clip in Premiere Pro CS5 and exported to F4V/FLV best quality. Opened an Actionscript Media DV NTSC template in Flash Pro CS5 and imported the video which I had pre-placed in my root web folder locally. I then exported the swf and saved the fla. All files were then in my root folder and the scrpts in the scripts folder. In Live View in Dreamweaver CS5 all looked fine. In each browser locally the video played as expected. Once all files were uploaded the video was not visible.
The file is located here...
http://www.goodmangraphic.com/2010vid.htm
in the root directory are... Sequence 01_1.f4v, minimaflatcustomcolorall.swf, 2010movie.swf, 2010movie.fla and in the scripts folder, expressinstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on what I may be doing wrong.

Ross,
As you suggested I checked the fla and indeed the local path was there so I changed it to it's relative path, then re exported the swf and saved the fla, re-uploading the files. No luck on ability to see online or even local preview. So I then reset the file location to use the actual URL online and that would not work and even in fla showed an error it could not connect to the file. So I reverted to local naming of the file again to test and sure enough it previewed fine locally in both browsers but again reverting to a relative path or http, failed to sucessfully see the video.
I am not having these issues with flv format, just the f4v. As an example here is the flv version using the url in the fla file attributes...

BTW - I simply renamed the extension after duplicatng the file for the video in this example.
Appreciate the help.
John

Make sure your server is configured to serve .flv files. Ask
your host if
there is a mime type set up for that file extension.

right off the top ..
You have two script calls to the Scripts folder and file ..
one is root
relative and the other goes up one level. One of them needs
to be removed.

Flash site works locally but not online (uploaded to server)

We have bought a flash portfolio template and have customized it with our pictures, video, etc.
When we test it locally on our computer (using different web browsers) it all works perfectly well. We have uploaded the finished website to our server and when you go to the address online, it doesn't work (a loader progress shows but it is stopped and nothing happens).
We have however uploaded the original template we bought and it works perfectly online.
The template consists of and index.html, various .swf, and various .xml that we have modified according to the template instructions (it also contains a java script folder we haven't touched).
What is it wrong with our modified template - it works locally without problem…!
Thanks for your help

When a Flash file works locally but not on-line, it's almost always a pathing issue (provided you did upload ALL files and do not have something missing... as suggested by Ned).
A "pathing issue" results when the main .swf cannot find one or more of the associated Flash files...like an xml file or images.
It can be something as simple as using switching file names to all lower case. Local machine is not case sensative... most servers are. So "My Photo.JPG" is not the same as "my_photo.jpg". When naming files, best to use all lower case, no spaces in any file or folder names... use_underscore_instead.
But the most common cause is that those associated files (xml, images, etc.) are not pathed relative to the Web page where the main .swf is embedded. Pathing to the .xml and image files should be as though the .swf was located in the same folder as the Web page... NOT the actual location of the .swf file.
And that includes paths to the xml file and paths to image files coded into those xml files. Everything need to be coded relative to the Web page.

Applet working on local but not online

my applet working on local machine fine
but when i upload applet on my website
and access by my machine only interface
show and when i click the button of applet
no result produce....
thankx

It is only possible if you missed something for code or codebase attribute of Applet tag, I mean values for these attributes are fine for your local machine but not with the server you are using.

Spry Horizontal menu works locally but not online.

Hi people I built a site in Dreamwever CS5.5 and used a spry widget menu. It works great in firefox when I run it locally, but when I try to access a page from the online server it's rubbish. I've uploaded all of the JS files a couple of times and even copied some to multiple locations but still no joy. Any advice would be appreciated, the website is to promote a very noble cause. website is www.stopthetoad.com.au

Hi Gramps,
Thanks for your help, from the look of the previous posts on this forum
you may need to change your name to Altruistic Guru.
This is actually a site that my 14 years old daughter (Jessica) has put
together and I'm very proud of her for the effort that she is giving in
her own time without possibility of reward (other than having our native
species survive another generation).
Any further advice you can offer will go a long way towards getting
those feral toads out of our country.
We've upload all files via cuteftp, Dreamweaver and even manually 1 file
at a time!
But it still wont work. When we try to load a page we get a series of
messages such as
SpryMenu.js requires SpryWidget.js
SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js requires SpryMenu.js!
All of the files that the messages refer to have been uploaded several
times but we still get the messages.
The spry Ui-1.7 folder with all relevanr folders/files is in my
public_html folder on the server. Should I move all of the Spry folders
contents into the public_html folder or somewhere else?
I expected Dreamweaver to do all of this for her perfectly, we must have
gone wrong somewhere.
This is a screenshot of the cuteftp screen showing all of the files in
the public_html folder. You'll notice that I've copied some spry files
into this folder also (will this cause problems)
Kind regards,
David
(on behalf of Jessica)

SWF plays locally but not on live site

I created a popup html file which contains an swf with
animation and sound. On the homepage of the website, I defined an
"onClick" behavior to open this popup window containing the swf
file. This works fine locally on my computer, but when I put all of
the files on my server, the popup window opens but nothing appears
except the title of the popup in the title bar of the
window...other than that the popup is a blank white screen. I'm new
at this...what's wrong??? Spending way too much time on this!
Thanks.

yes...i uploaded the popup html file and the swf file...in
fact, the actual swf file will play if i type in the address to the
swf file, but if i open the index page and click on the text with
the clickOn behavior, the popup opens but is blank. Here's the
popup url:
http://www.onguardkids.com/Video/alarm_sound.swf
but it will not play if i type in the direct popup page:
http://onguardkids.com/alarm_sound.html
here's the index page...on the bottom left corner the popup
opens when you click on "Click Here to Hear Alarm".
http://www.onguardkids.com
Also, is there a behavior that will change the curser to a
pointer when it is over the "Click Here to Hear Alarm" text?
Thanks.

Shared Object working locally but not online

My game records your high score using the sharedobject and while testing it locally it works fine, but when the swf is published and played online, it is not recording the hi score. Is there some sort of new security issue with saving shared objects on people's hard drives now?

In Frame 1 I have this code. The first is for game progress, the second is for the high score which is then passed to the text object
var Progress:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("progress", "/");
var OwlHiScore:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("owlhiscore", "/");
hisc.mainScore.text = (OwlHiScore.data.HiScore).toString();
Then on the last frame where the game is over I have this code:
if (score > OwlHiScore.data.HiScore) {
          hiScoreWon = true;
OwlHiScore.data.HiScore = score;
OwlHiScore.flush();
          hiScoreHolder.hiScoreEffect.mainScore.text = (OwlHiScore.data.HiScore).toString();
} else {
          hiScoreWon = false;

Flash works locally, but not online!...

I put a .SWF on a blank web page. It launches and plays fine
locally if I launch the page from my hard drive, but online I just
get a blank white page. Here's the link:
http://al-i.anixter.com/TEMP/flashTemplate/index.html
Any ideas?! Thanks!...

Just realized if you right-click on the page and click
"forward", it advances and works. I'd think it was something in the
preloader code, but maybe not, because if the preloader was messed
up, then I'd think it wouldn't work locally either, right?...
UPDATED:
Nevermind - figured it out! Stupid coding error in the
preloader!!!

Flash appears locally but not online

I've got a test document here:
http://www.atlas-inspection.com/newsite/template.html
There is supposed to be a flash animation in the center top
banner area. It works great on my local computer and the file IS
there on the remote server (
http://www.atlas-inspection.com/newsite/flash/atlas.swf)
but it's just blank for me and I can't figure out why.
Help?
Thanks!

I solved my problem. Please consider this closed.
Thanks!

LoadMovie works locally, but not online...

I have the following command on a frame:
holder_mc.loadMovie("/NF/mp3player.swf");
When independently launching the .SWF, or when testing the
movie in Flash, the "holder_mc" loads the "mp3player.swf" just
fine. But when posted online (or even testing locally inside a
browser), it doesn't load at all. I have copied the directory
structures from my local hard drive to my online server EXACTLY...
Any ideas???...

This is exactly what I'm telling you about. DO NOT USE PATHS
from the perspective
of flash file but the html file where the flash is. FLASH
path is irrelevant
here. It means nothing. IF the HTML is in the root of the
server, the FLASH file
thinks it is in the root of the server too so it will seek it
files from that place
not from its original location.
You need to load your file using:
audio/WT/mp3player.swf
not
WT/mp3player.swf

Flash videos showing locally, but not on my site. help please

Hi,
I converted several avi's to flash, I then inserted the FLV
file into and html file in dreamweaver.
The flash files will play locally, but not when i upload them
to web server. Check it out here please
http://kdsi.org/kds/demo.html
please check the demos above to see what i mean. I just get a
blank page.
Anyway to insert video into the page like youtube? (instead
of the "demo video" button have the video embedded and just click
play to play it. without using the popup like i did.)
thank you.
thanks

Hi,
I am sorry i did not get what you mean with the last
sentence, but generally, this may be a path problem, you need to
check your FLV path and make it meet the path on the server not the
local machine.

I have created a narration for a video, and it plays it while in the editer tools, but after saving it to my desktop, that version has no narration. can you help? Please.,

I have created a narration for a video, and it plays it while in the editor tools, but after saving it to my desktop, that version has no narration , can you help...Please.

timester
What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
How did you save your Timeline content which included the narration clip produced with the project's Narration Tool?
Publish+Share/Computer/ and then what? And, what preset? And, for that preset, did you use the default settings of the preset
or did you customize the preset under its Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
What other audio was in the project - any on Audio 1 or Soundtrack? Did you get involved with Smart Mix at all?
Let us start here. We will be watching for your follow up.
Thank you.

Presenter 10, video and HTML 5

I have a number of Presenter presentations that I want to convert from an older version of Presenter. I am using Presenter 10 because of its output to html 5. However I seem to be encountering a recurring problem which I can replicate consistently.
Initially I had issues with re-publishing a Presenter presentation that had been created in an older version of Presenter. One of the problems I faced was the the video content in the Presenters was in flv format. I had to convert these to mp4, which was a little hit and miss as not all mp4 are created equal in the eyes of Presenter 10. It would be good to hear if anyone has the correct mp4 settings so as they can play reliably when publishing to a Connect server Conent Library using Presenter 10.
The bigger problem I have is with the message of being unable to publish the presentation due (possibly) to lack of disk space or sufficient permissions. I have seen previous posts on this and it seems that the advice given has been to clear the C:/temp files and/or to create a new profile on the computer. I have sufficient disk space and even after cleaning out my temp files I experience the same problem.
I can replicate the problem with a high degree of reliability. Essentially this message only appears when I insert a video file (mp4 or flv) of certain duration and try to publish to a Connect server in HTML 5 format including video. As soon as I untick the video option in the publish screen I can successfully publish - obviously video is removed. I compared one video that I had in managed to successfully publish and it seems to me that the error message appears when the video is longish in duration. The video in the presentation that fails is 2 minutes 54 seconds in duration. The video that successfully published is less than half this in length at 21 seconds. I am trialing with increasing the duration of a video to see if there is a particular duration in time that then sets off the unable to publish message.
I wonder then if anyone else has experienced the unable to publish message and whether there is a fullproof way of getting around it. Also has anyone experienced the video publishing to html 5 using Presenter 10 issue and whether the unable to publish message is akin to a generic failure message? Any suggestions help, would be grateful. I have a number of Presenter presentations to replublish and all have video in them, it would be good to get "fix".

I have tried the remove and re-add and it makes no difference. I can't now get the Presenter presentation with video in mp4 format to display or play. I am not sure if it is there or not as when viewing on an iPad it says it is buffering but never actually stops buffering. I can see it on my computer fine and it plays fine, but some of the reason for publishing to html 5 is so as it can be seen by people using tablets. I just can't seem to get it to work no matter what I try.
So to recap:
1. using a presentation published using an older version of Presenter that contains flv videos
2. republishing the presentation using Presenter 10 to a Connect Content Library using HTML 5
3. have to convert the flv to mp4
4. on a computer using a variety of browsers the presentation plays fine.
5. on a tablet (iPad tried at this stage) the slides without video plays fine, the slides with video just continually says buffering
On the second point of Presenter throwing up an error message, it's not so much that it throws up the error message as I can cancel that. It's more to do with the fact that it throws it up each time I try to publish a presentation that includes video that is of a certain duration. I have followed the whole kill the process as suggested and while this does indeed stop the problem it just comes back when I open PowerPoint again and try to publish.
