SWF Doesn't Display

I'm redesigning a site with a SWF movie on the home page but the SWF doesn't display on the redesigned page. Original page displays fine. Same results on IE 7 & 8 and FF - that seems to rule out computer & browser errors. The only difference I see is new page is XHTML while the original is HTML - The code on the two pages is virtually identical except for that.
Redesigned site is http://www.bath-hancock.com/index.html
Original site is http://www.countryconnectionsva.com/index.htm, on a different host.
Live HTTP Headers shows everthing is being downloaded properly except  http://www.bath-hancock.com/flash/CountryConnections.f4v and  http://www.bath-hancock.com/SkinUnderAallNoFullNoCaption.swf get 404 errors - these files don't appear on the original site and I don't know what they are as I can't find any reference to them in the code for the new site.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks Murray,
Yes, I tried that but didn't know what to exect as I have never done that with a SWF before. I downloaded the
entire old site with DW, copied the files to the new directory, and then uploaded them with DW. I guess I'll repeat the process and see what happens.
Hmmm - I can play the one I initially downloaded in Flash but I get the following error when I try to play the copy:
Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/laurenceheine/Sites/Country%20Connections/SkinUnderAllNoFull NoCaption.swf"]
Checking what was downloaded, I found three more files: SkinUnderAllNoFullNoCaption.swf, CountryConnections.f4v, and CountryConnections.flv. Copied those to the /flash directory and now the SWF plays on my computer in Flash. Uploaded them to the server and it plays w/o the skin (still get that 404 error). Moved the skin to root and it plays fine. Wonder why it plays ok in /flash on my computer but not on the server?
Only issue left is the white background - can I change that somewhere? (I don't do Flash so have no clue.)
Thanks again!

  • SWF doesn't display once imported to LMS

    We're in the process of setting up TrainingPartner LMS, and
    I'm trying to get a SCORM quiz working. I can publish everything
    and upload to our (separate) content server, and if I visit that
    URL, the quiz works fine. However, if I add that quiz URL to the
    LMS, the html page loads, but the flash quiz doesn't display. In
    addition, if I close that window, the quiz is marked as complete,
    with a score of 100%. Both are undesirable behaviors :)
    I'm trying to determine if this is a Captivate problem, or an
    LMS problem - I'm leaning towards it being Captivate, since the
    html page loads, just not the .swf. Any suggestions?

    Hi timtate and welcome to the forums!
    Actually, if the quiz works fine directly from the content
    server, then it's likely an LMS issue.
    Have you tried loading other HTML files with embedded Flash
    movies from your content server into the LMS or is this the first
    time it's been done?
    I wonder if it's not a cross-domain security issue that's
    preventing the Flash Player from loading the movie. If so, you'll
    probably want to ask Google how to create a crossdomain.xml file.
    This file goes on your LMS server root and determines which other
    servers are "safe" to load content from.
    That said, maybe the crossdomain.xml file goes on the root of
    your content server. I forget which goes where, but crossdomain.xml
    is definitely the right name at least.

    I hadn't tried it yet with regular HTML/flash files, so I
    just did. They work
    fine.
    I was working on the assumption that cross-domain wouldn't
    be an issue,
    because both servers are behind the firewall, but I just
    realized the LMS
    server doesn't have the same domain so that might be it. Is
    cross-domain
    scripting a problem between servers within the same domain?
    Like lms.domain.com
    working with content.domain.com?

  • .flv doesn't display in browers

    Problem: progressive FLV doesn't display in browsers
    This is what I did: 1) inserted flash video (about 5 MB and
    encoded in Flash Video dEncoder CS3) into a DW page. 2)Saved and
    checked that it plays correctly in DW preview. 3) uploaded page,.
    FLV and required FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf to server. 4) Checked
    with server; they allow progressive FLVs. 5) From Adobe.com I
    downloaded and replaced FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf in my local
    folder in case cross-scripting vulnerability=the culprit.
    6)uploaded new FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf to server. Tried it at
    root level and in folder analogous to local file. 7)Cleared
    browsers' caches, histories. Refreshed page. 8) did all of this on
    Mac OS10.4 and Windows XP (except #5 because Adobe site has 404

  • Flash content doesn't display in browsers

    I recently updated Dreamweaver to 8.0.2. I updated an .swf

  • Browser player doesn't display my site as it is built in Flash?

    I"m using FlashCS3 I am developing a site. When I run the swf file using "test movie" or even by going to the folder containing the .swf file and not through the Flash program it plays perfectly as I want it look. But when I upload it to the site and hit it with my browser it doesn't display the same way???
    In fact the browser shoes a background that I replaced with the partially transparent filter effect you see when played locally??   I have looked all through my movie clips and can not find where i tcould insert the old background?
    I have made some snaps of what it looks like when played through the player outside of the flash editor (but this is the same as when played through the editor) and another pic of what it looks like on the web.
    I am using Actionscript 2.0 mode for publishing, Flash player 8 or better, Bottom Up with compress movie and export hidden layers checked.

    ok i found the solution here by deleting the corrupted library
    http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-player-database-problems.html 
    now one of these below is for the music and one for the photos and i didnt have a problem with the photos but did it anyways and now the player can see my music:
    these are the files that need deleting in order to get rid of the corrupted library.
    Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
    \private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
    \private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
    \private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db 
    TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
    TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone. (my files had slightly different names than above on the n97)

  • Problem with video skin doesn't display on html although the video played normally.

    I used "Adobe media encoder" to convert a video file to "FLV" format, so that I can import to "Adobe Flash CS5" . I have chosen all the component buttons and tried to "publish preview" on to html but the video skin doesn't display although the video does. Two swf file skin file + fla + swf movie + html are all in the same folder.
    Please help....I have tried to fix this problem for 10 hours already and still have no luck, tried to search online for solution but counldn't find anything.
    Message was edited by: adobe_user_2

    I already gave you the answer to your problem and now here is
    the proof:
    http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin/dancin.swf
    Notice the skin?
    http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin.html
    Notice the lack of a skin?
    This is because the skin is in the wrong directroy. If I put
    the skin in the same folder as the HTML file, not the swf, it
    works. So if you would do what I said a few posts ago and make this
    work:
    http://www.mikelrouse.com/SteelExternalAll.swf
    Then your problem would be solved. The problem is that the
    skin path must be defined by the html file calling the swf file,
    not the location of the swf file.

  • XMP doesn't display proper info in Photoshop CS2 for Mac.

    Dear List members:
    I have just recently installed Creative Suite CS2 and begun to explore the functionality of XMP. After purchasing Bruce Fraser's book on Camera Raw for CS2, I downloaded Metalab (Pound Hill Software) and created my first custom XMP panel that can be seen under the file info in Photoshop when an image (digital photo) is open.
    The problem is that I noticed a few odd things and began to question myself if there is some kind of bug or a problem with my installation of CS2.
    1. The window that opens under the file info command has several categories of information on the left to be chosen from, in the following order:
    (1)Description, (2)Camera Data 1, (3)Camera Data 2, (4)Categories, (5)History, (6)IPTC Contact, (7)IPTC Content, (8)IPTC Image, (9)IPTC Status, (10)Adobe Stock Photos, (11)Origin, (12)Advanced
    The Camera Data 1 option when selected opens a panel in the file info window that seems to contain all the information it is supposed to contain. The Camera Data 2 panel, on the other hand, doesn't display any information at all. Although the fields are there, they are empty. The fields are:
    (1)Pixel Dimension X and Y, (2)Orientation, (3)Resolution X and Y, (4)Resolution Unit, (5)Compressed Bits per Pixel, (6)Color Space, (7)Light Source, (8)File Source.
    All these fields are empty but when looking at the same file under Bridge the information is there, displayed under the metadata menu.
    This is something I noticed "before" installing Metalab so I know it is not a compatibility issue generated by the installation of the software.
    After installing CS2 I noticed that CS1 remained installed in my system. The version I purchased of CS2 is the upgrade one. Since I have no use for CS1 as I am now totally converted to CS2, I would like to uninstall CS1. The following are some of the questions I have:
    1. How can I uninstall CS1 without causing any problems to my installation of CS1 ? Is there an uninstall utility with the software or will I have to uninstall the entire package manually ?
    2. My G5 came with only one internal 160 GB drive where I originally installed CS1. I then purchased another internal 400 GB HD and copied the original drive onto it. This week I am going to replace the original 160 GB drive with a second 400 GB drive so that I can do regular "mirror image" back-ups between the two drives. Shold I expect any problems as I remove the drive where I originally installed CS1 ? Since I used disk utility to "copy" the 160 GB drive onto the 400 GB drive, my understanding it that any Adobe software key or authorization was also transferred to the drive. Is this right ? In case it hasn't, how can I transfer this information so that after I remove the 160 GB drive I will not experience any problems when trying to run CS2 ?
    3. How can I fix the problem with the Camera Data 2 panel under the file info window and command ? I noticed that the folder that is supposed to hold the Custom File Info Panels (HD>Library>Application Support>Adobe>XMP>Custom File Info Panels) has files for CS1 and CS2. Could this be a problem ? There many more files with .dat extenson than there are with the .txt extension. Bruce Fraser specifically says that the ones with the .txt extension are the ones that hold the XMP templates for information related to the image files. The files I have in this folder with the .txt are:
    (1)Camera1_CS2.txt , (2)Camera1.txt , (3)Camera2_CS2.txt , (4)Camera2.txt , (5)Categories.txt , (6)History.txt , (7)IPTC_Contact.txt , (8)IPTC_Content.txt , (9)IPTC_Image.txt , (10)IPTC_Status.txt , (11)StockPhotoInfo.txt
    The only ones that have two separate files one each for CS1 ad CS2 are Camera 1 and Camera 2. Camera 2 seems to be the only that is now non-functional. What should I expect to happen if I were to manually uninstall the ones that relate to CS1 ? Could that cause any problems ?
    My apologies for the long post but I didn't really know how to make it shorter.

    The Photoshop and/or Bridge forums would be more likely places to get answers to your questions. This forum is inhabited more by programmer types interested in implementing the XMP specification in applications we write.
    I'd expect CS2 to ignore CS1 panels so I doubt that's the issue. Panels don't interfere with each other--they just offer different views of the data. In any case, move the extra panels to your desktop and see what happens.
    As far as I know, all you need to do on the Mac is drag the CS1 application folder to the trash to uninstall it.

  • Mac Mini Doesn't Display through Philips Tube HDTV

    I have a Philips tube HDTV with a VGA connector in the back, and used the DVI-VGA connector that came with my new Mac Mini to connect. I don't have a computer monitor at home. The TV doesn't display anything.
    So then I took the Mac Mini over to a friend's. He has a VGA monitor, and so he ran the Mac Mini through setup and set it to the lowest possible display settings. I came back here, rebooted and plugged it back in; still no display.
    Then I tried this:
    "First thing to try is to boot the mini into safe mode by holding down the shift key as it boots up. This should allow it to boot, and then give you access to the display preference pane to adjust the settings back to those that worked.
    If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the TV, and rebooting the Mac with no display attached. Once it has fully booted and enough time has passed to allow the desktop to be displayed, reconnected the TV. This should force the mini to boot into a low-res mode that works with just about anything, then when you reconnect the display, either cause it to auto-sense the correct resolutions, or give you access to display preferences."
    This didn't work either. Any suggestions?

    Hi Alan,
    Check your TV manual to see what resolutions your VGA/RGB connector on your TV will accept. Being a HDTV it is likely to be from 480p to at least 1080i.
    You then set the resolution in your Display preference pane to 640x480 and you should get a picture on your TV. The trick is to set it when you can't see anything! Attaching to another device may not help because the Mac detects that device when you set the Display and will know its not that when attached again to your TV. When attached to your TV it is setting another resolution it thinks will work. It is clearly guessing the wrong screen resolution when you do connect it.
    I overcame this situation myself using a VNC client. That requires you to have another computer you can use to control your Mac Mini via VNC. You can then access the Display pane via VNC and set the 640x480 resolution which will work.
    For setting 1080i (and the VNC process) please see:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060319073027371&query=1080i%2BMac %2BMini
    I am guessing you can also use an S Video adapter - available from Apple - to connect to an S Video port your TV may also have. That won't help with the VGA connection though.
    Hope this helps.

  • Secondary Cost Element Values doesn't display in Profit Center Report

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with our Profit Center plan/actual/variance reports wherein it doesn't display the postings I made to the Secondary cost element when I executed an assessment cycle (KSU5). I already set in the configuration that all postings to be done in the cost centers, should have a parallel posting to the profit center assigned to it. I can see the postings in my cost center reports, but not in my profit center report. Could I have missed out on any procedure to enable the secondary cost element parallel posting in my profit centers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    it might be the configuration of the library or some parameter in the report (record type should be 0 and 2 for actual values, where 2 stands for distributed values and 1 and 3 for planned values)
    but it also might be that the reconciliation is done between different CC and same PC
    - check your CC organisation asignment
    - if sender cost center and receiver cost center have tha same PC it is probably the reason
    - I had that problem my self and didn't solve it
    cheers

  • WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT sometimes doesn't display the generated PDF file

    Hi all,
    I'm using the following code to generated my report from Forms:<br><br>
    V_REPORT_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(V_REPORT_NAME);
    V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB:= RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(V_REPORT_ID,P_LIST);
        V_JOB_ID := substr(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB,length(:GLOBAL.REPORTS_SERVER)+2,length(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB));
        V_REPORT_STATUS := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB);
    LOOP
       IF V_REPORT_STATUS = 'FINISHED' THEN          
          V_TMP_PDF := :GLOBAL.APACHE_HTML_FOLDER ||'rpt'|| V_JOB_ID  ||'.pdf' ;
         COPY_REPORT_OBJECT_OUTPUT(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB, V_TMP_PDF );
        WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(:GLOBAL.AS_HOME_URL ||  'rpt'|| V_JOB_ID  ||'.pdf' ,'_BLANK');     
        END IF;
    END LOOP; <br><br>
    Everything works fine except the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT part. In some clients, this command does what it required from it and opens a new browser window with the PDF report displayed on it. In some other clients, this command does nothing: now window dispalyed. When I refer to the Application Server, I see the PDF report successfully generated there. When I put the URL of the generated report manually in the browser address, I can see the report.
    <br><br>
    <b>Why the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT doesn't display the generated PDF report in some clients?</b>

    I agree with the previous 2 posters.
    Also firefox and ie handle it differently. Make sure you test on what your clients use.
    Sometimes acrotray.exe is completely retarded and doesn't work.

  • MSI 970a-g46 motherboard starts up but doesn't display anything.

    Hello, I'm having problems with a new motherboard I got from Amazon, specifically the 970a-g46. The following are my specs in use with this motherboard:
    CPU: AMD Phenom 2 x4 965
    GPU: nVidia GeForce 560 GTX
    Ram: 8gb Kingston HyperX Fury 1866mhz.
    PSU: Corsair 650TX (650 Watts)
    Compatability-wise, everything checks out so I wasn't expecting problems at first. All the other parts excluding the ram I've used before. Here's exactly what happens:
    I power up the computer after everything is installed and connected. The 4 phase LEDs turn on which tell me the CPU is powered up and working (so I assume). I don't get any beeps or buzzs mainly because I don't see any speaker/buzzer on this board. The monitor blinks and while it is connected to my GPU, it doesn't display anything, it's just a black screen. I can leave it on for a few minutes and I'll still not see anything happen. An important observation here is that my keyboard which has LEDs will turn on after a short period of time in boot-up (with my older set-up that is). This does not happen ever regardless of how long I leave my computer on on this new mobo.
    I've gone over and checked/tested numerous things:
    * The PCI-E and ATX cables for the GPU, motherboard and CPU are all connected and secured (I've tried both 4-pin and 8-pin connections for the CPU, neither help).
    * I've tried jumping the CMOS multiple times to no avail.
    * I tested the ram on another computer and it worked just fine on that one.
    * I've tested the motherboard without a GPU and it still does nothing (though I think that's because this motherboard doesnt have its own integrated GPU for some reason).
    So far the only possible reasons why my computer is not working is because of my PSU (very unlikely as it's only a year old and it's a Corsair, which I've heard is very reliable in the long-run), GPU (It is quite a few years old but even without the GPU my computer still doesn't go past boot-up), CPU (possible due to its age and how many freaking time I've reseated it (probably around 8 times) so I wouldn't doubt it, but before I put it into this motherboard I did check its pins and they were all there and placed nice and smoothly into the socket.) and finally the motherboard (it's possible that this is just a defected motherboard and giving me a super hard time which would be a first in all the years I"ve spent computer building).
    The best case scenario of course is me giving some kind of oversight to how I transferred over the parts and connectors. I might've missed something obvious to please any advice/insight on how I can solve this problem would be greatly appreciated
    EDIT: Some other things I did but forgot to mention:
    * Checked ground nut things and ensured they matched the specifications of the motherboard ATX; only 6 are under the board and each one is aligned up with the holes on the board as designed.
    * Tried booting up without powering the CPU. Only one phase LED light came on, still the same problem (for an obvious reason this time now).
    * Re-seated GPU multiple times, re-connected cables multiple times.
    What I have NOT done is re-seat the CPU because I am almost out of acetone so I would need to get another supply of that which won't be until tomorrow. I also have not re-seated everything back on my older motherboard to check if it still works. Tomorrow I'll most likely do that and if I find that the old motherboard works flawlessly then that tells me that the new motherboard I got is either defected or there's some compatability issue I"m missed out on.
    EDIT 2: Just found a speaker and plugged it into the motherboard. Booted it up and I got no beeps whatsoever. So this mobo is giving me no video activity (there is a signal it's just blank), and no beeps from the motherboard. I have no idea what that could mean at this point.
    EDIT 3: I decided to test a few things with the new speaker I just got. First I removed ram and tried running, I got 3 beeps which I assume is the beep sequence of faulty/no ram. Removed the power to CPU and the GPU itself individually, gave no beeps this time.

    What's the serial number of your MB? Needed to determine what BIOS may be on the MB. Exactly which version of the CPU is it? There were several different 965 CPUs and they required different BIOS versions, 1.2, 1.9,2.2 depending on which CPU you actually have.
     Also another problem may be that native memory supported by your CPU is DDR3-1333, not 1866
     None of the supported CPUs have integrated graphics, any MB graphics would be in the chipset, not CPU. Examples would be 785G, 880G
    Thank you very much rhradacut! The problem was that the mobo for whatever reason was forcing 1866mhz on my CPU when it only supported up to 1600mhz. I had to install a spare ddr3 module to downclock it so that I could access the BIOS and manually set the DRAM timing to 1600mhz for it to work. That's a very strange problem that I figured would've been auto-resolved by the hardware, and would also be a big problem if I didn't have any spare DDR3 ram to work with.
    Once again thanks for helping out on solving my problem.
