SWF File No Longer Playing

SWF walk-on video actor no longer playing on www.bestjumborate.com front page. Worked up until recently in Chrome and IE. Still plays in Android. No changes to site or code done. Any thoughts or advice?

ARRGGH !! I've done that so many times already .. you only
get the released
standalone player from installing Flash itself. That's the
only legal way
to get it as it is not legally redistributable.
> As you can see, I have tried to find it without success.
Yes .. because it cannot be legally redistributed. As I've
said also
several times.
> P.S. This site
>
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
> (see middle top right box) offers a link to "All
available Flash Player
> downloads" But if I click the link, I see no standalone
Flash Player.
> This site offers only what seem to be older versions
ARRGGH !! Of course not .. because the standalone flash
player only comes
with flash and is not available separately and is not legally
redistributable. You'll only see released flash player
controls for
download (or maybe some very old stand-alone players that
Adboe has decided
can be made available) .. it is NOT the current released
standalone flash
player. You really don't seem to be listening to what I've
said..
NOTE: As I'd also said before, it IS possible to get the beta
of the
standalone player for the next Flash Player 9 as a download
from Adobe Labs
.. but it is unlikely to be updatable to the full version, so
you'd always
only have beta version unless you download Flash 9 when its
out. seeing
you've not managed to find you way to abode labs (its off the
main menu on
the adobe main web page) here is that particular page for the
Flash Player 9
standalone player pre-release ...

Some audio files no longer playing?

I am half way through an imovie project and recently added audio commentry, however some files no longer play also a few now have a yellow warning triangle?
Im assuming the files are now corrupt or something?
really annoying!, anyone have an idea what the problem is??
Cheers

Hi
I'm assuming the files are now corrupt or something?
I don't
Yellow triangle - indicates that the pointer in iMovie to the Audio file used, no longer is valid.
iMovie - DO NOT Copy the audio You put into Your movie project's at all - only points to where You found it.
E.g. - You insert an Audio-CD and use a tune from this in Your movie - then you need a tune from another CD and Ejects the first one =====> RESULTING IN A YELLOW Triangle - pointer to the tune on Your Audio-CD is broken up on You ejected the CD.
I copy all needed Audio to a dedicated folder first (as I store in a proper place e.g. movie folder in User account) - then I use them into my movie.
The deeper thing is - That there is NO movie in Your Movie Project at all - only a small text document pointing to the material used (video, photos, texts and audio) AND how You want it to be presented AS a Movie.
Only when Shared / Finalized - there is an actual movie created.
This is Non-Destructive non linear Video Editing and how it works.

Flash .exe or swf files will not play on Vista

I decided to learn how to create captions for flash video,
using CS3. I tested this project and it worked fine. I could just
double-click on the app or the swf and the captioned video played
fine on my Mac. I only had Flash (CS3) on my Mac, so I created the
files there.
I then published an exe to move over to my Vista machine.
When I double-clicked on the file, it brought up Flash Media Player
version 9, but only showed a blank white box. Very frustrating.
After some research, I read that Windows Vista was not
compatible with Flash Media Player 9. Only 10.02xxx or later (I
forget the exact version - it was long) was supposed to work with
Vista. Since CS3 uses version 9 to pack into the executable (PC) or
app (Mac) projector files, I thought maybe this was the problem.
So I downloaded the demo of Flash CS4, thinking this version
would pack version 10 into the projector and this would solve my
problem.
While the CS3 version of my saved flash video project would
open in Flash CS4, it would not play when I tested the movie inside
Flash CS4. It would just show a skin at the bottom of the video
player only (with a play/pause button), and it had moving blue bars
on the skin like it couldn't really load either.
I then decided to create the whole flash video with captions
from scratch under Flash CS4. This time when I tested the movie in
Vista, it worked fine. When I published either the projector exe or
the html/swf combination, it worked fine. So proudly (and finally!)
I sent the exe over to my boss. But..... you guessed it. The Flash
Media Player 10 that started up when the file was double-clicked
just showed a blank white screen again!
So then I moved the exe over to another partition to test to
see if there was some dependent directory pathway saved as part of
the flash video file. The exe wouldn't play on the other partition!
So I thought I was onto something. I then tried moving files that I
thought the exe might be dependent on (although isn't the point of
a projector to be stand alone?) to the same directory on this
partition as the flash exe projector file.
I ended up moving the captions.xml file, the swf files (flash
video player skins included), and the html file that the swf file
is supposed to be embedded in. NOTHING worked.
I even read that someone with this problem saved his Flash
CS4 file as a Flash CS3 file before he published it, and that
worked for him. So I tried that too, but with no joy.
So I am totally stumped. Does anyone out there have advice or
even a solution?
Much Thanks,
Chuck

HI
You can use FlashJester Jugglor to create one EXE file by
adding the FLV in

FLV embedded in a SWF file, does not play in HTML file.

Hi,
I embedded a FLV file into flash movie clip, which on publish plays well on SWF file, but when the same is embedded in HTML, it does not play.
What is it i'm missing ..
Kindly help.
Regards
Shashi

First, clarify this... are you embedding the .flv into the time line, as in:
The .FLV file is imported on the timeline of a movie clip.
I embedded the .flv file,
If you are in fact embedding the video, then there is no external video file... it's embedded into the timeline.
If you are using the FLVPlayback component and an external vid file to display the video and the .swf when testing plays the video just fine but not on the HTML Web page:
SWF plays external video file, as soon as I embed SWF in HTML, it no longer playes the external video file.
then it's most likely a pathing problem.
If you are placing the .swf on a Web page and the .swf and/or the .flv file are not both in the same folder as the Web page.... then the .swf should NOT work when you test it directly! That's because it should be pathed to play from the Web page and not the location of the .swf.
For your review:
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Swf files won't play in IE7 browser window

I am using Windows XP Pro and I have updated the flash
player, yet any webpage ending in ".swf" won't play. It did not too
long ago though. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

When I Generate, the link points to file:///c:/users/...../www.[website
address]file.swf
<file:///c:\users\.....\www.%5bwebsite%20address%5dfile.swf> . It's looking
for the file in the generated project, but it looks confused. J
I looked to see if I could import the files, but there doesn't seem to be
any import for swf files.
Can I simply put them in the directory with the project files, and point the
link that them there?
I don't want to publish to see what it's looking for when it's published,
since it's a client's site, and I don't want them to see something that
isn't working.
Thanks!

MOV files no longer play on my iPad after the IOS7 upgrades

Prior to the recent IOS upgrade to 7, then 7.0.2, I was able to use my camera connection kit to import videos taken on my camera. They played without issue and I was able to share with friends from my iPad.
Since the upgrades, the files will import then when launched, show an error 'Cannot open' and then play with no audio. The videos will often then play at a faster speed than recorded. They files are useless without the audio. Suffice to say that they play on a PC without issue.
I desperately need to get this resolved as to why this has occurred. The only thing that has changed is the OS. Video files imported before the upgrade no longer play as before either.
Please help me if you can.

No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

.swf file won't play on any in house computer except the one it was rendered on

So, I work in a company that does some animation. I handle the website and uploading our stuff to it. The animator upstairs makes the stuff. He rendered out the file as a .swf, a html and a flv. He says he did it the same as he always does it, which is fairly often and he is definitely competent. The file plays in the browser on his computer (a mac).
He transfered the file to several of us to test where the problem is. On mine (mac), two coworkers (also macs), and a pc the files do nothing when opened in a browser, blank white screen. The icons for the files are also just a blank page. We can all play the other .swf files from the website, both on the site and downloaded to our comps.
Flash player has been updated on them all. He has re-rendered them with different file names. We are transferring them over our network.
We need to get this animation on the web and I have no idea whats up with these files. Anyone got any ideas?

upload the embedding html and the swf and loaded files to a server and post the url.

Swf file has stopped playing in 'live' browser only

Hello everyone,
Hope you can help with this, whilst working on my site one of the swf files stopped playing when viewed in the browser (live). The file plays ok from Dreamweaver from both local view and remote view. Went onto web server cpanel and played the swf file ok from there as well. Have checked the code and all seems fine, I wasn't even working with that file when it went wrong, all I done was replaced a png picture with a swf file on a different part of the page, this new swf plays fine along with all other swf files on my site. I have uploaded and syncronised both the page and swf files again but still no joy.
I really am stumped for an answer, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Here's the link, but after 3 hours of not playing it started to play by itself after I added a favicon (which still isn't working) to the index page.
That is really strange and a bit worrying as it seems to have a mind of it's own. It also happened once before on another page when I was adding content to the site. I was able to kickstart that one by uploading the page again from local.
The swf file which wasn't playing is midway down page showing drawings.

At least it's working now although I feel scared to touch the site in case I loose it/another again.
Thanks for the reply.

In Flash CS4 a generated html with swf file won't play swf

Using Flash CS4 and having the Flash plug-in ver 10 on my PC, the generated html file will not play the swf in the browser.
I noticed that the active-x javascript is now included in the header as well as the javascript portion in the body tag.
But it won't play. I get the typical blank window in IE with the "X" in the upper left corner.
I don't have this problem with Flash CS3.
Any ideas what may be going on?
Thank you.

I am having similar difficulty; mostly I am confused.
I want to open a flash video file in a frame within a webpage.
I have generated a Flash CS4 html and swf file. When loaded they play, but they play on a separate, full size web page, not in the frame where I want it.
I then generated FLV and F4V files but that doesn't work.
It appears that I need to insert the object and embed tags "for Flash Movies" in the html file.
Once I do that, do I go back to only putting in the html and swf files and create a link to the html file to bring up the video in the target frame?
What are the FLV files for?

Swf files won't play, only 1 version of flash is installed and working per adobe website

When someone send me a link leading to an swf file, Firefox opens and flashes a blank screen. I've checked the forum and only one version of flash is installed. Flash is working based on the adobe site and non of them open. Here is a list of links:
http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00622/beer_goggles_622180a.swf
http://www.jokeroo.com/bin/player.swf?5f9f_f369
I've looked at the about:config and about:plugins as menioned as solutions in prior posts but my configuration looks good. Any ideas?

Do you mean that Firefox tries to download the file to the temp folder?<br />
That usually happens if a file needs to be send to an external program. If a file is played embedded in a browser tab then the file should go to the cache.
You can try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.<br />
See Troubleshoot Flash Player installation for Windows: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Flash Player uninstall: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (this will remove the Firefox Flash plugin and the ActiveX control for IE)

SWF File won't Play

I'm currently trying to create a remedial class in Moodle. We
are using Adobe Captivate 2 to create example slideshows. Luckily
for me, some of the material has been created in D2L. There are
Flash items in a D2L course that I can use for my course.
Bottom line...I'm trying to copy some pre-created SWF files
from another source and paste them into Captivate 2 to create a
slideshow.
I've downloaded the SWF files from their original folders and
saved them on my hard drive. Then I've clicked "Insert Animation
Slide" and selected one of the SWF files. When I play the slide, I
get nothing.
I can't figure out what's happening? Any suggestions?
Thanks! Tami

I have the same problem when I try to insert a

Adobe (Macromedia).
When viewing the Project, I get the Flashpaper frame with
flashing buttons and a grey box below, but nothing works. I see no
picture/animation/doc and clicking on the box does nothing,
likewise the buttons. Have tried setting animation properties to
'bring to front', with no effect. Have tried with various types of
files, .docs, .pngs, etc. and it doesn't seem to make any
difference.
Need to know what I'm doing wrong and how to attach
Flashpaper 2 files to a Captivate2 slide URGENTLY please, before it
drives me insane!!!!!

Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

Migration to IIS6 causes large swf files to not play

So I had a FLV that was being played through a SWF on one of
my clients sites. The server got upgraded to Windows 2003 and it
stopped working. I didn't originally create the SWF or FLV so I
wasn't sure what it was doing. I used FLV2SWF to convert the FLV to
SWF (the unlicensed copy) and it created a 6mb (truncated) version
of the file, and this file was now viewable. So I got the full
version and converted the entire FLV, and I still have the same
problem it looks like its downloading but then never plays and if
you right click on the player it says movie not loaded. If I just
create a link to the SWF and download it and play it local it works
no problem. You can see the non-working version here, in case this
helps
http://cwbtechnologies.com/about2.htm
Any help would be much appreciated. I have a feeling this is
something in Win2003 but I couldn't find anything on MSDN.
Thanks,
Pete

Thanks for the suggestion Pat. I checked it out but I do not have any path issues. The problem is ONLY with swf files that I have had on my website for a year. They worked perfectly before December 3rd and stopped working after that time. They still work fine if an older version of Flash Player is used. I'm pretty sure that there is an swf file backwards compatiblity issue with version 11.1.102.55. I have spoken with others who have the exact same problem.
I recompiled one of my swf files using the latest version of Object2vr and it will show properly on my site. I am now in the process of recompiling the remaining 50 swf files in order to make my site work again.
I would still be interested in knowing if there is a fix for this issue other than recompiling the swf files.

Swf file won't play automatically in browser

I am creating a website using flash, photoshop, and
dreamweaver. When I import my flash swf file into dreamweaver/save
it and then open in browser to see if my file works it does if you
right click it. How can I make it automatically load when my page
is opened? Do I need to give my flash file an actionscript to tell
it to play when the page is opened? If so what is it and where
should it be on my timeline? Please advise.

swf files will play automatically once they are loaded. this
may be an IE issue - you may need to use AC_runActiveContent or
SWFObject to 'embed' to resolve the problem.

.swf files can't play from a website

I am trying to play a.swf file that was downloaded from a website that sends out3 minute meditations. I'm on a ipad2 with Safari asbrowser. Where do the files go when the download? Safari Keeps wanting to open file in SignNow. then SignNow says it can't open because the file is not aPDF.I am given no other option. On my iMac all I do is click on the title of the meditation and it plays? I travel so it would be nice to be able to play these meditations off the website.

You can try an app browser that will stream Flash.. such as Skyfire browser: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skyfire-web-browser-for-ipad/id409153623?mt=8
