Published SWFs not working from CS3 on Mac?

This one REALLY has me stumped..
I am working on a Mac Dual 2-Gig G5 running OS 10.4.10 and
Flash CS3.
I have a web site for a client posted (
http://www.aronwiesenfeld.com
). This site has been running flawlessly for over a year published
to Version 8 Flash Player AS v2.0. This client asked me to create a
new temporary splash page last night that would announce his new
Art Show and then click on into the main site. This site uses a
Shared Lib, a SharedTrigger, a Core SWF (containing the main site
navigation elements and handles loading of various movies into
levels) and a Splash SWF (that contains the two splash screens and
initial navigation to areas of the site. The problem I THINK I am
having is in the Splash SWF... or is a problem with my LOCAL Mac
installation? When I click one of the 5 Site Nav buttons it is
supposed to tell the main core movie to advance to a new frame (20)
and I target that movie by referring to _level0. This has worked
fine for the past year (on this and other sites). I am attaching an
example of the code used on each of the initial Nav buttons in the
Splash swf .
So here is the mystery...
When I "Test Movie" inside Flash CS3, everything works/looks
"perfect". If I then go to the desktop and find the generated HTML
file and open it in Safari (both version 2 and 3-beta), or Firefox
or Opera, etc., everything looks fine until I click one of the
initial text Nav Buttions. At that point it takes me to the main
site and loads the external SWF into a level as it should
(indicating that the 3rd line of code on the button is execution
and by the fact the the Splash movie disappears, it indicates that
the core movie is indeed moving to frame 20 (_level0) as requested
in the first line of code. However, all of the main site navigation
buttons along the bottom of the main site as well as the background
NEVER APPEAR? Also when I start to move the mouse around the loaded
external movie the site completely crashes and I get a blank screen
- IN ALL BROWSERS whether I am launching the site from my hard
drive or the Internet!! But it works perfect INSIDE Flash CS3.
Now comes the real kicker...
Just for the heck of it after spending 3 hours trying to fix
this on my main G5 tower(publishing to Player version 9, etc.), I
decided to try accessing the site from my old G4 laptop. Ready for
this? The site appears to be working perfectly IN ALL BROWSERS ON
MY G4 also running 10.4.10!!!
So my guess is maybe their is a problem with the Flash Player
Plugin in all my browsers on my G5 or the Flash Plugin has a
problem with OS 10.4.10 only on my G5. BUT, even if I launch this
site directly in Flash Player from the desktop on my G5 it does not
work - so the stand-alone player is having the same issue - yet it
works fine on my G5 INSIDE of Flash CS3.
I thought I had seen it all the last 5 years with Flash, but
this one has be completely stumped!
My client emailed me from California and said the site was
working fine there of his PC. If that is true then I am having a
LOCAL Flash Player problem on my G5 running 10.4.10.
In addition to my question, if anyone can give me feedback as
to whether or not this site is working on your machine/browser/OS,
could you please let me know? You will know if the site is working
if you click on Enter Site, then click on any of the 5 buttons
(except Info) and you see a grey background behind the image and
the lower navigation string appears.
Thanks!

Well after trying everything I could think of I started down
the list again. I re-downloaded the Flash Player 9 r47 Mac
installer and ran the installer again (which I also did last night
with no success).
This time after re-installing the plugin - ALL THE BROWSERS
IMMEDIATELY STARTED WORKING ad the site now comes up fine - so,
apparently I had a bad Flash Player install in my browser!

  • Published .swf not working on website

    Hi,
    I am new to Catalyst, and just finished my first project.
    It worked great when I went to "run project"
    I changed the name of Main.html to Index.html (left the main.swf)  and copied the "deployed to web folder" to the /public_hml folder in the FTP server.
    The problem is that when I go to my site address nothing comes up
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong! Anyone can help me please!?!?
    Thanks!!!!!!

    I don't mean nested SWF is not work in Flash Catalyst(FC). You can still import SWF to FC. But one thing important is. When your nested SWF have related image file outside the SWF file. You also need to copy this image file under the nested SWF directory. (same folder or create a Assets folder or not. It depend on your link inside nested SWF.)
    Hope this make this clear.
    I also use nested SWF from FP and FC. It work fine for me.

  • Migration Assistant not working from G4 to Mac Pro

    When I re-start my old G4 holding down the T key, the screen never comes back on with the floating firewire symbol (I've tried two cables so far). And my new Mac Pro gives me the message "There are no versions of Mac OS X available on your old Mac." This is not true, I am running system 10.4.10 on my old machine. My new machine has Leopard. Am I better off re-installing everything as the new machine has an Intel processor and the G4 does not, as time consuming as that might be, maybe it is the best thing to do?
    Thanks for any advice you can share.

    Just don't select applications.
    OS X Tiger for PPC is a totally different OS and applications that install anything into the top level Library or System can cause all sorts of problems, from the computer running slow or worse. Otherwise, using MA to import your home account works fine.

  • Right click on published SWF not working

    Hi, I'm using the latest versin of Captivate 7 and trying to publish a SWF project to work on our webpae.
    In the software simulation we have a need for right click to activate a function, but this is only bringing up the flash menu when we play it.
    I have Enable Accessability turned off and the file's a trusted location on my computer.
    Can anyone help me work out how to make this work?
    Thanks
    Anna

    Are you executing the HTM file or just the SWF?
    Right click functionality requires a fair chunk of JavaScript code in order to work.  Captivate supplies this JS code in the HTM and JS files that it publishes along with the SWF file.  If you are only executing the SWF file then you won't get the JS code.  You need to execute the HTM file which will then pull in the SWF and all the additional required code.
    You must also make sure you have at least one click box in your project set to use right click.  This will tell Captivate that you need the extra JS code to be added to the output.

  • SWF Not Working...Help Please :(

    Hi all,
    So I've been having an issue with a SWF not work on a page and this is what I can seem to come up with after hours of messing with Dreamweaver and Flash trying to understand why it won't work. When i test the movie from the working Flash file, it works no problem. Something is going wrong when I export or publish the movie and it no longer works. Is this something that happens?
    Your help is much appreciated...this site needs to go up in the next day or so and the SWF was working and then stopped working and I'm honestly not a Flash gal so I really have no business messing with it, but it was a specific request. Thanks!

    One thing that might be an issue as far as the web page goes it that the html specifies a file named carousel2.swf which does not appear to exist on the server and is not the same name as the file you are calling the swf in your swf link (*carousel3.swf).
    Without knowing what goes on inside carousel3, or carousel 2 for that matter, it's hard to say if it is missing the xml file that it might need.  But for either case, are you certain that you have uploaded the xml file that is needed?

    The instillation says that it is successful, however when using Safari I'm informed I do not have flash player installed. When I check the hard drive, flash player in no where to be found. I have tried all of the troubleshooting from the Adobe website, and I am still stumped. I was able to get the Flash Player to run in firefox 5.0, but not Safari.
    Please Help!!!! I have searched the discussion boards for days now in my spare time and have not been able to find an answer.
    I am not the most savvy person with computers, what am I missing here??

    In my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder I have a file named Flash Player.plugin (it's 22.8 MB however, not 23.9mb) and another named flashplayer.xpt (it's 4 KB however, not856 bytes).
    I am unable to open the Plug-Ins menu (the browser pops up but wont load)...is there another way to check for Shockwave Flash?? When I do a search for "Shockwave" on my hard drive I do find a plug-in named "DirectorShockwave.plugin" (76 KB)
    Also...The "Open using Rosetta" checkbox was already unchecked

    You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.
