.SWF File cannot be launched on Windows XP

When trying to launch a SWF file, "MyFirst.swf", Windows XP
informs me of the following:
<<
Windows cannot open this file
What do you want to do?
1.- Use the web to find the programm
2.- Select the programm from a list
>>
[NB: I've translated Windows XP's output from Spanish, so in
English it'd probably look different]
I've tryed the 2 options and I've checked that I've got the
latest Flash Player version available, i.e., v 9,0,45,0 from:
http://www.adobe.com/es/software/flash/about/
but how can I tell windows where the Flash Player is?, I've
chosen the path:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
but which programm do I have to select?, "FlashUtil9c.exe",
"NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe"?, maybe other?
Any help will be appreciated.

The free flash active x control and/or NS compatible plug-in
player is
only utilized from a browser (or other application)--it is
not meant to be a
"standalone player" for swf files. You can drag your swf
files to an open
browser window...

Launch Error - This file cannot be launched

Hi all,
I renamed a class file in a flash build and now every time I try to debug my project (cmd+F11) I get an error window saying Launch Error - This file cannot be launched.
I have tried wiping the project and moving the files in to a new one and also restarting FB4 but with no luck. I have also tried setting up a brand new blank project and this will not launch either.
The problem seems to only be with Flash projects as a new Flex project runs ok.
I am running Flash Builder 4 , Flash CS5 on a Mac 10.6.4 and debugging in Google Chrome 7.0.517.41
Any suggestions?
Cheers

There is no adl listed in my list of active processes in Activity Monitor. I have tried rebooting my machine, restarting all my software and projects and cleaning my projects. No luck yet.
If I just switch to flash and run the fla directly it works fine so it must be Flex specific.
Cheers for the suggestionsso far . Keep em coming if you have them

Itunes wont inport anythig it show listings but comes up with error ocurred while converting (song title ) the required file cannot be found using windows 8

itunes wont inport anythig it show listings but comes up with error ocurred while converting (song title ) the required file cannot be found using windows 8

iTunes cannot convert protected WMA tracks. There may also be problems if it can't get full access permissions. What exactly are you trying to do when the error occurs?

Flex Builder 3 error: This file cannot be launched

All of a sudden when I try to run my app from within Flex
Builder 3, I get a popup that says:
This file cannot be launched. I right click on my mxml file
and the option to set it as default is greyed out.
How can I make this error go away?
Thanks

I've filed a number of bugs about a lot of things :P
Part of the problem for me is that I am using Vista x64 and
there are known issues with Eclipse 3.3 and the Logitech SetPoint
drivers on that OS. Basically, in FB3 I get corrupted Property
Dialogs and Preferences (can't change key binds, or set compiler
config, etc.). It does work in Eclipse 3.4M4 with the plugin, but
then Design Mode doesn't work properly (images and style are
wrong), and that is unsupported by Adobe. So basically I switch
back and forth between the two whenever I need to access the
dialogs lol. Given that kind of situation, it is difficult to know
what is a propblem with my specific config, and what is a bug.
Generally one of the things I see is my embedded fonts start
showing up as errors when I hit compile, then I have to do a clean
build. CSS errors/warnings show up in the main mxml file instead of
the CSS file (at the CSS file's line numbers).
I've also seen issues where modules aren't saved to the
properties files properly. Lack of conditional compilation support
(debug versus release at the bare minimum) in FB3 is annoying
(though you can do it with ANT).

This file cannot be launched?

I just started using Flash Builder Beta 2 today. I'm a newbie, so be gentle.
I've been trying to use this tutorial from gotoandlearn.com http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=114
I followed along until 10:57 in the video, where I was supposed to test the file. The result was a very vague error, "This file cannot be launched".
So, I tried using the original source files provided by the author of the video, and these produced the same negative results.
Any ideas about what this error could be indicating?
Thanks!

You might be having problems with your build paths. How are you importing the com.transmote and org.libspark.flartoolkit packages into your path?? When you type:
private var fm:FLARMana
and hit "ctrl + space" do you get code completion??
The easiest way to make sure your app has access to all the external libraries is to copy and paste these packages directly into your src folder.
Import the attached zip file into FB and see if it runs.

When you create the file in Flash, it is usually best to also have it publish an html page. Copy the embedding code that Flash creates in the html file and paste it into your intended html file. The Flash code may also be reliant on including a .js file, which it will also create, so that needs to be placed in the site folder. The header of the Flash html may include a script link to this js file, so you need to copy/paste that in the intended html page as well.

Loaded SWF file CANNOT be made into button DIRECTLY?

I'm experiencing a problem which may have no solution, but I
would like to know why I cannot do what I want to do.
PROBLEM:
I am attempting to load in an external SWF file and once it
is loaded, I wish to directly make the new Sprite/MovieClip into a
button. However, the newly loaded Sprite/MovieClip seems to be
resistant to be made into a button DIRECTLY. I would like to know
why this is.
WORKAROUNDS:
Here are a couple of workarounds, but again I wish to know
why I cannot do what I want to do.
1) I place the new Sprite/MovieClip into an empty Sprite on
stage and make the once empty sprite into a button.
2) Construct the external SWF in such a way so i can refer to
a MovieClip within the SWF file and make that MovieClip into a
button.
CODE EXAMPLE:
I am loading a SWF file thru a Loader and then taking the
loaded SWF file and adding it to an existing sprite on the stage. I
then attempt to make a button out of the newly loaded swf file, but
it fails to be clickable.
The following is some quick code to illustrate my problem. I
already have workarounds in place, so please let me know WHY the
following code is impossible. thanks!
==============================================================================

There should be no problem with what you are trying to do. If
you want someone to look at what you've done, you have to be
careful to show that and not possibly errant code because that is
the substance of your post and what you requested be looked at--we
cannot guess what you may have done wrong in setting things up or
for code that you do not show.
I tried your code before posting my response and it worked
fine except for your error with the COMPLETE aspect. I did not
utilize any objects for loading things into, so I suggest you look
there.

Error Library file cannot be saved (using windows vista)

Hello guys,
I'm getting this error when working with Itunes 7 and windows vista
The Itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.

What is the problem ?
Thanks for the help

Thanks anyway Sirius Mac
I'm still trying to see what it can be, very strange that I did not see the message a coulpe of days and sunddenly it's back.

Since swf files cannot be attached to published flash documents for iPad, what format can be attached?

I have a multi-page animated book for iPad developed in Flash 6. Because of its length and to run more smoothly on an iPad, I’ve divided the pages into fifty separate documents –the last frame of each each page would load the next page, a back button would load the previous page. My question is: since an swf file or anything containing actionscript 3 coding cannot be imported or attached to a published flash document, does Adobe have a solution to this problem?

The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

Mov. file cannot put on dvd windows

help trying to put a video on dvd in windows its a mov. file apple i phone file

As for converting iPhone .mov files into DVD, I believe Windows can do that itself within Movie Maker, it is free.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker
Otherwise you'd have to use custom software like AppGeeker which will convert the MOV videos into DVD format and burn them to a playable DVD in one process.
http://www.appgeeker.com/convert/burn-mov-to-dvd.html
Let me know how you get on with them.

Why the swf file cannot be played by itself?

Hi,
After I run the source code, I opened the bin folder and
locate the swf file that has been packaged. I double click it but
the program will not run. But if I double click the html file that
embed the swf file, the program will run.
Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks for your help. However the code is too big to show
here and I am not sure the client would allow me to do it. I am
trying to think to shorten it, but it's hard to find where to start
since I don;t know what actially could cause the problem. I thought
about using external xml data is the reason. I then tested one app
with external xml and one without. Both of the two swf can rrun
standalone.
So what is the general guideline? Thanks again.

Swf file wont play from httpserver, windows opens up but doesn't play, but works fine from SunOne

We currently migrating over to http server from SunOne web server. When you run the launch.html file an additional browser window opens but the swf doesn't not start playing.
The new http server is using exactly the same doc root as SunOne.

► SWF File Elements Shift Upon Resizing Window

Hi,
I've created a Flash website. However, when I resize the published SWF (or the preview window within Flash) some of the elements get displaced. How can I create a "wrapper" like in Dreamweaver so that the window can be dragged out to any size and all of the components stay together as they were intended?
Here is what I mean:
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l567/niksavtchenko/2.jpg
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l567/niksavtchenko/1.jpg
Thanks,
Nik

How would I do that? I tried using this code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);
function onResize(e:Event=null):void
trace( stage.stageWidth );

Inflated SWF Flash file cannot play in IE but Firefox & Netscape

Hi all,
I'm trying to do some file protection by inflating a SWF
Flash file.
Once the Flash file is inflated, the filesize grows but does
not add any physical data bits to the SWF file.
After that tweaking, the SWF file cannot play in IE 6.0
(Internet Explorer).
However, it still plays perfectly well under Firefox &
Netscape.
I know IE use Flash ActiveX while Firefox & Netscape uses
Flash plugins. Is it the reason for such behaviour?
Any advice to make the inflated SWF file to play in IE
please?
Thank you very much.
