SWF created in Flash MX 7 won't play in browser w/Flash Player 9

I just noticed that my website, which I made from a template
from templatesheaven.com, isn't playing in Flash Player 9 in a
browser. It plays in the standalone player for some reason, but
when I look at it on the web, it shows just the count-in (or
whatever it's called, the pre-load), but stops when the counter
hits 99% and the action never starts. The website is at:
www.gwhitty.com
I built it using Flash MX 7, but for all I know the template
was made using Swish, which apparently causes problems with Flash
Player 9. Anyone have any other ideas? Still plays fine in FP7, so
I'm stumped. If I open my .fla file in Flash 9 and then export,
will that likely fix the problem? Any ideas appreciated...

Saving a swf-file for flash player older than 10.3 in Flash CC

Hi,
I am working with Flash CC and need to save my swf-files for Flash Player older than 10.3.
Is there any chance to do so?
Besides working with CS6 again ;-)
Thanks for every help!

In the meantime I found a very good answer myself.

Link .swf files to Flash Player

Hello,
I have recently noticed that my .swf files are not opening with flash player. I installed flash and it does not open .swf by default.
I also tried to open these files with the .dll file that runs the Flash Player but it does not work.
Is there someone that could help me to open by default .swf files with Flash Player?
Thank you,
Olon

What operating system are you using?

I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player. What am I doing wrong? Are there some simple things to check to figure this out? (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player. What am I doing wrong? They play fine on computers but not on dvd players. Are there some simple things to check to figure this out? (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times). Created in DVD studio pro.

Hi
Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
• BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
• Type of DVD - matters
- DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
- DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
- DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
I only use DVD-R
• BURN SPEED - matters
- Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
I set this down to x2 or x4 max.

Saving Flash 7 SWF created in Flash 8

I understand from experience that viewing Flash 8 SWF files
on the Flash 7 Player results in text not showing up. The Flash 8
text is obviously superior, but unfortunately, a major contingent
of my viewers are too afraid, too naive, or their systems are too
messed up to upgrade their Flash Players from earlier versions.
Obviously, to solve the problem, I can save the SWF as Flash 7
backward compatible; however, I am more than disappointed with the
results of this solution. The main problems with this approach is
that the text looks week and the bitmap alignment is no longer
perfect when trying to intermingle my flash content with existing
background content.
Please someone help me with a better solution by providing me
with a list of parameters that need to be in place so that my Flash
7 files created in Flash 8 look more presentable.

> Peter, as for a list of parameters, I mean precisely

There seems to be come confusion here. It's not a matter of
'checking off'
options, rather of publish settings. In the 'Publish
Settings' dialogue,
under the 'Flash' tab, 'Version', select 'Flash Player 7'.
the important
thing is not to use any *features* that depend on Flash
Player 8 - these
include (but are not limited to!) filters, any of the new
text rendering
options (custom anti-alias), any of the new Classes (geom,
filters, display,
external) etc etc etc.

Again, you are a bit confused I think. Obviously they will be
different than
if published for FP8 - that wasn't my point. What I said was:

and bitmaps will

So, using Flash 8 to author but publishing for FP7 will look
the same as
using Flash MX2004 ('Flash 7') to create your content. You
are saying your
bitmaps shrink "compared to when exported normally in Flash
8" - I never
mentioned publishing for Flash 8.

Well yes, of course. You said it yourself - you have exported
for FP7 -
playing it in FP8 won;t magically make it look better! For
that, you would
have to *publish* for FP8.

Trace() not working with embedded SWFs created with Flash Builder

I have just migrated to Flash Builder 4.5 with the 4.5.1 SDK.
I have an application that loads a lot of child SWFs into it - some of which are created with Flash, some are created with Flash Builder.
I am noticing now that my trace() statements that are called from within SWFs produced with Flash Builder that are loading as child SWFs into my main SWF are NOT appearing. However, trace() statements called from within SWFs produced with Flash that are loading as child SWFs into my main SWF ARE appearing.
This is an extremely major problem and has short-circuited my debugging/development.
Any recommendations, workarounds, or suggestions?

If the child SWFs were created by performing an "Export Release Build", then trace() statements would be omitted.
You can control this by setting the -omit-trace-statements compiler argument (in Project properties -> Flex Compiler -> Additional Compiler Arguments).

SWFs only for Flash Player 10?

I published a SWF file and it looked great until I checked it on a computer that was running Flash Player 9. It didn't show up at all. Is there a way to save it in a compatible format? The IT people at the company I'm making it for won't upgrade to the newest player for at least a few more months. Any suggestions?

The SWFs generated by Flash Catalyst use the Flex 4 framework, which has many nifty features, but unfortuately also requires Flash Player 10. You won't be able to use Catalyst to create applications to FP9 or earlier. If you don't mind doing some coding, you could use Flash Builder to make a Flex 3 application that will run under FP9.

You should be able to use very similar code - buy instead of
pointing to the
swf directly, it's likely you need to point, instead, to the
html file that
is usually published with the swf.
Without seeing the exact code you are talking about with
DemoShield, I'm
reluctant to offer you any alternative. Simply put, a
standard link pointing
to the correct html file should work. You can get clever and
use JavaScript
if you have specific needs, but the standard HTML link should
be fine for
your needs.
Oh - maybe you should look at Captivate's Manu builder, as
perhaps this will
offer what you are looking for.

HREF to open Captivate swf file with Flash Player

Hello all,
I am new to the Captivate world as well as the new window
options within html code.
Currently I am using Captivate to re-create and update a
DemoShield CBT and woudl like to call the .swf file the same way
the DemoShiled file is called within the HTML. The DemoSheild file
is called using a javascript function within a href tag.
Is it possible to do the same with Captivate files? Create a
link that will open a new browser window with the .swf being played
by flash player? (similar to simply double clicking the file within
the folder).

Dreamweaver to launch SWF in separate Flash player

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I'm creating a
simple web page in Dreamweaver that includes links to SWF files in
the same folder. I want to be able to have the user click the link
to launch the SWF files in a separate Flash player window and not
in a browser window. (Clicking the link currently opens the SWF in
Internet Explorer).
This is the code I have for one of the links:
<blockquote>
<h2 class="style1">Day 1 Simulations </h2>
<blockquote>
<h3><strong><a
href="Lab1_CreatingACompetency.swf">Creating a
Competency</a></strong></h3>
Please help?
Thanks!

I created a file in Captivate and upon publishing the file,
an HTM and SWF file were published. I would like to launch the SWF
file in its own window. I don't know the technical backend of it,
but upon first glance, the title bar for the window that launches
says "Macromedia Flash Player 7" when I launch the SWF file, and
it's "[IE logo] {name of file}" when I launch the HTM file.
The issue is that the visual quality of the content is not as
clear/crisp in the HTM launched file as it is in the SWF file, and
I want to make Dreamweaver launch the SWF file in a separate
window, not the HTM file.
Hope this helps clarify. Thanks for the help!

Problem loading swf file in flash player 9.0.47.0

Hi all!
I have a really strange problem and couldn't find any information over the internet.
The problem only occurs in flash player 9.0.47.0. It works in all the others players, newer and older..
I try to load a swf file to my web application and get the following error: "This content requires Adobe Flash Player 10.2. Would you like to install it now?"

Maybe FP9 does not support your application / swf file? How did you develop it?

Downloading .swf files-standalone Flash player

I have the most recent Adobe Reader X, and I have no problem playing .swf files on a browser. However, I am trying to download a .swf file onto my computer and play it with Adobe Reader X.
The people on the site that has the .swf file say that I need a standalone Flash player. What I need is a link to this standalone Flash player so I can open the .swf file without the use of my browser.
A little more info: When I try to open the .swf file, it says:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'FileName.swf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I have tried to do this on Chrome and Firefox using Windows 7 and tried it on a Mac with Safari and Camino; I get the same result each time.
Many thanks for any info, and especially the standalone Flash player, that you can give me. If I should move this thread to the Flash Player section, just let me know.

The standalone Flash Player (Projector) can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you'll need to make the file association manually.
