Stand Alone Player Issue

I had been working on a file for weeks...then all the sudden
when I make a stand alone player it won't open the player...flash
player opens but no file...I called adobe and they said it was
something corrupt in my user profile...(I am on a MAC, OSx) so I
created a new user and opened the file there and it opened, made a
stand alone and played..then one day later...same thing in the new
user....if I make yet another user it works....but I assume tthis
is short lived. WHAT is there in the user profile, and this is a
brand new clean user...goes wrong and how can I fix the problem
without creating a new identity every other day. I threw away the
flash preferences...no dice...any insight would be greatly
appreciated.

That is not allowed. Make a projector exe instead (which is
allowed)

You don't need a licence for projector exe .. but
redistributing the
standalone player (which even Adboe doesn't uisually make
available except
with purchase of Flash itself) would take some negotiation
with Adobe. Its
really not worth the effort usually.

Flash Player Renders Images Differently in Browser than Stand-alone Player

Hey, guys!
Not sure if this is a Flash issue or a Flash Player issue, but here we go...
I`m currently working on a Flash project with a great deal of images.
Flash does a great job compressing images, but in some cases it messes up the colors.
I have a big image on the background and it`s set to 80 compression from the Properties panel.
Everything looks fine in the stand-alone Flash Player when exporting from the IDE or even opening from disc, but when I insert the SWF in a HTML page (with SWFObject, dunno if it matters) some werid artifacts show up, and also the colors get shifted to slightly different values (I can tell since I have a background that should match the SWFs background!)...
There is a workaround, though. Setting compression to Lossless... Then everything looks EXACTLY the same both in the stand-alone player and in the browser. Just that you end up with a 900 kilo image instead of 200 and something... :|
And if you have several images that have to be treated "Losslessly", you end up with a pretty big SWF!
My other workaround was to sample the colors in the browser and modify the ones in my CSS for the HTML background.
That works well for the colors, but I still end up with some ugly artifacts, even when compression is set to 100!
And, again, the strange thing is that in the stand-alone player, everything is honkey dorey, the colors and all!
NOTE: the project I`m working on is a Flash 10 file, ActionScript 2, if that would matter...
Thank you for your time and I appreciate any suggestion/explanation!

i've had a problem before with the fps and a mac.
how big is your file?
i usually make my movies around 24 fps to keep load off of
the cpu which could make it run slower

Code behaves different when SWF is in browser as opposed to stand alone player, why?

In ActionScript, I have some code that dispatches a
MOUSE_OVER event when a tween is complete. I am using Tweener for
the tween. On my Mac OSX machine, I preview the SWF file in a stand
alone player spawned from my Flash IDE, and the event is dispatched
and the behavior works as expected, but when I preview the SWF file
as embedded in a MacOSX browser, the event is not dispatched. On a
Windows machine, however, the event is dispatched both in a stand
alone player and within the embedded SWF file in a browser. The
problem seems to come particularly from the Mac OSX player.
Has anybody ever experienced this? Is the OSX implementation
of the Flash player different in a stand alone and browser setting?
Here is the code that I am using:

HMMM! Verrrrrry interesting.
Yes file size is an issue, it's a large project.
Exterenally host it?
Where could I go and do that?
I'm not familiar with this process. Can you please tell me exactly how it works?
And....that means both servers need to be up and running? Kinda sounds a bit shakey. This project needs to be strong and stand alone to go here and there. Durable.
I feel safer if its all in one piece. Bam.
You know, I noticed "FAST" and "BEST" does not make a difference to file size or quality.
Could I be wrong?
Thanks.

AMF connection working on browser, not in stand alone player

Greetings,
I'm trying to communicate my SWF file with PHP using Zend_Amf. I compile the flash side using Flex SDK 4.
Whenever I try to run the swf using the stand alone player (the projector), I always get a NetConnection.Call.BadVersion event. However, when running exactly the same file thorught the player of the browser (even not thoguht a server, just using the file:// kind of address), everything works OK, so I know my code is not completely wrong.
I thought this could be related with the security sandbox. However, I added the folder where my swf file is to the global trusted folder; and actually made sure that Security.sandboxType returns "localTrusted". How ever, that didn't fix anything.
So I'm out of ideas. Any suggestion on where to look next?

Here's my code, in case its needed (it's a pretty straightforward hello world example):
PHP SIDE:
$a = new Amf_Model_Test();
$server = new Zend_Amf_Server();
$server->setClass('Amf_Model_Test');
echo $server->handle();
class Amf_Model_Test
* return string
public function greet()
    return "hello";
AS SIDE:
public class main extends Sprite
private var _resp: Responder;
private var _nc: NetConnection;
private var tf: TextField;
private var _gateway: String;
public function main()
tf = new TextField();
tf.width = 500;
tf.border = true;
tf.borderColor = 0x0000FF;
addChild(tf);
      _gateway = 'http://cms.loc/amf';
_resp = new Responder(onResult, onFault);
_nc = new NetConnection();
_nc.connect(_gateway);
_nc.client = this;
_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
_nc.call("Amf_Model_Test.greet", _resp);
private function onNetStatus(event: NetStatusEvent): void
trace(event.info['code']);
tf.text = "Status = "+event.info['code'];
private function onFault(result: Object): void
tf.text = "Fault = " + String(result);
private function onResult(result: Object): void
      tf.text = "Result = " + String(result);
In my browser, I get "Result = hello", as expected. In the stand alone player (which is exactly the same version) I get "Status = NetConnection.Call.BadVersion".

My DVD's Audio is fine on the Mac - but MISSING on stand-alone player

Slightly wrong forum (sorry) but all the experts are here!
Re-hashing my 4:3 DV (PAL) movie for a re-release of the DVD and all's gone extremely well until now.
On my (DVDSP) burned DVD all video is working fine - the audio files are .ac3
No audio in the AUDIO_TS folder on disc - or in the cache (using finder).
Where did I go wrong?
How can it play perfectly on the Mac (DVD Player) and there be NO AUDIO on the stand-alone?
Thanks in anxious anticipation!

Thanks both.
Talk about a fun Friday, we have HUGE floods here (no - nothing to do with the DVD problem, OR the vacuum cleaner) the UK's had an abnormal amount of rain recently and today's been hideous!
To get back to the topic, as in all pro studios, the DVD player is on the floor - and the carpet was vacuumed yesterday. I notice the player had moved but it didn't dawn on me to check the cables.
Typical of me - assume there's a really serious technical problem first - check the obvious last!

Flash .flv stand alone player.

Dear members:
I have recently downloaded some .flv files from the Internet
and tried to view them without any success. I have installed in my
computer the CS3 premium suite that includes Flash CS3 so I was
surprise that the videos wouldn't play. Right clicking on these
files I have the choice to open them using (1) Flash Player.app
which is selected as the default and also (2) Adobe Flash CS3.app,
(3) Flash MX 2004 and (4) SAFlashPlayer. None of these applications
actually plays the videos. When I select both Flash Player.app and
SAFlashPlayer the applications load and they appear Mac OS X's menu
bar but nothing happens.
Please forgive me if this is a basic question but I haven't
been able to locate a stand alone version of Flash Player for
download on Adobe's web site. The one I found seems to be the one
that is installed in browsers so that they can play Flash media.
Where can I find and download the stand alone Flash Player ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, fredingston.
After I placed my original post I found a plug-in for
QuickTime that allows it to play Flash videos. The name is Perian
and does a very good job. Quite a convenient solution for those
with Macs.
Thanks to you second post I was able to find and download the
new Adobe Media Player and really liked it. The interface is quite
nice and I think it has more functions that I haven't yet had the
chance to explore (it seems far more than just a simple player).
I noticed that in Adobe Media Player the videos seem to play
with better quality so this will definitely become my default
player for Flash media from now on.
Thank you again for your reply and helpful answers to my
questions.
Best regards,
Joseph

Flash 9 Stand Alone Player?

I need to display a swf file full screen without a browser
window. Is there a Flash 9 standalone player available for download
or purchase? The available versions only seem to contain a browser
plug-in.
Thanks

no there isn't, standalone comes exclusively with flash
authoring tool
and flash 9 is not out yet.

Need a stand alone flash player

currently l have version 7 installed that came with Flash MX problem is on occasion l find its not up to its job..
basically put l want a more up to date version of the stand alone player so l can run files made with newer versions as the stand alone player l currently use is failing pretty badly when running some files only showing half their content.

lm not exactly authoring it came with the suite when l originally started using it, really only installed that part for the stand alone flash player.
but surely l can just install and updated stand alone flash player, all l want to do is view animations a friend of mine wanted me to try out for him. that being said l cant even seem to view them in my browsers which is weird because no one else is having any issues and my browsers flash plugins are up to date.

Audio crackling killing FCP audio but not in stand alone QT player

I have a file I recorded in IShowU.
When I load it into final cut every once in a while I get a large crack and pop from the audio that kills my speakers requiring a reboot. If I play it through headphones it still cracks but it doesn't kill the audio.
If I play that EXACT same file in Quicktime stand alone player it plays perfectly. However, if I export the file from Final Cut and try to play it in Quicktime it has the same pops as it does in Final Cut.
Any ideas?
This is FCP 6.0.6

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same issue with some audio in a FCP project. It was fine last night, but when I hopped on my machine this morning to work on it, I played the project and now have a segment of audio where it just gives a large pop/crackle and kills the speakers. If I have my headphones in, it keeps playing and there is the loudest static you've ever heard. The weird part is there is other segments of audio from the same clip in other parts of the video and they're fine. Additionally, when previewing the segment that crackles in the viewer window, there aren't any problems. It only happens in the timeline.

Stand-alone flash player

Ok... I went to adobe.com and click to download the latest
version of flash player(9). I published a flash file published
under flash player 8 settings and used the new On2 VP6 to encode
some video. I export a .swf and an HTML file.
When i open the HTML file the movie plays fine. When i try an
just dbl click the.swf to open it on my computer without HTML it
doesn't play, and my stand alone flash player says version 7 at the
top of it. Is there a seprate update for the stand-alone player? If
so, where can i find it?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Maybe you can't, since Flash 9 isn't due for release until
some time in 2007. Flex creates content that uses the Flash 9
player IIRC, but since it's a web app development thing that
probably only means the plugin - though you could check if you're
that desperate.
You could buy Flash 8 for the v8 player, but if its only the
standalone player you want, it's not exactly a value-for-money
option.
There's this whole thing where the standalone player is seen
as a development tool because it can create 'projector'
executables. Why they can't just take out the projector-creating
stuff I don't know.

Where can I download a stand alone flash player?

I'm looking for a stand alone flash player that I can scrub video and audio with. NOT Elmedia player. Thanks!

By stand-alone I mean a program that's not an Adobe product but still plays Flash and swf files. By scrub audio and video files, I mean drag a cursor along a timeline that runs the duration of the video. There is a "stand-alone" player that can be accessed from the Flash program, but it does not allow you to scrub.

Stand alone installer for flash player

Is it still possible to download a stand-alone installer for Flash Player (or any Adobe product)?
I really, really, really, really have NO interstes in any download manager. All I want is an installer I can just download. There used to be an ftp site that had up to date software that could simply and easily be downloaded, but I couldn't find any current software on that site. Where should I be looking?

You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

Looking for stand-alone Flash 9 player

Can anyone tell me where I can download the stand-alone Flash
9 player for Windows?
The only version I can find in the downloads area is the
browser plugin.
I want the standalone player so that I can see the console
output. I'm just starting in AS3 programming so I need to see the
error messages.

There is no download of the standalone. The only publicly
distributed version
is the browser plugin/player.
Download the authoring tool, Flash CS3 and you will get the
standalone with it.

Windows Media Player ActiveX not playing image, but WMP stand alone application does. Why?

I use my Windows Media Player v11 with additional codec to play mp4 files (mp4 are not supported by default with WMP 11, so I had to install a codec). It works fine in the stand alone application, but when I use the ActiveX control in NI, it does not use the codec and I get only the sound... no image. I thought the ActiveX was simply an interface to the same core application used by NI and the stand alone media player. And if it is the same core, it should use the same codec. What am I missing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have a tip for you. If you download Quicktime 7(QT), you may select the QT activex player(see picture). It plays mp4 and looks better. And QT is free so it should not any problem. Try and see if it do you any good
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
