SWF file not playing in flash player

Hello All
I am working on this project for a client, suddenly no-one can get the SWF file to play.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByWDl-PaRWIFY0c1SnEwbUNraUE&usp=sharing
The file is there.
If anyone can help please do.
I know this file works. It must be an update or something?
Please Please Help

If you've lost the source to your SWF files, there are a number of SWF decompilers available. You may be able to decompile the SWF and then recompile the project using a current compiler. It's worth a shot anyway.
A cursory Google search turned up a few candidates (free and paid), but I don't have much experience with any of them.

FWIW, I've never seen that blue screen and circle behavior before.

Swf published from Flash Catalyst not playing in Flash Player

Hi All,
I have 2 issues which I'm not sure may be related or not.
- I've created a project in FC but when I publish it to .swf it does not open in Flash Player. It plays in Chrome but Flash Player 10 gives a blank screen.
- I have FC 5.5 and I want to make the project scale according to the browser size. How can I do this? I have checked the Resize option but when it open in Chrome it just cuts out all that is outside the browser screen area.
Thanks.
Tej

I can not recall the minimum Flash Player that is required for Flash Catalyst. I suspect that your version of Flash Player is too low. Chrome auto-updates to the latest version, so that is why it works in Chrome.
Also, make sure you understand the differences between resizing and scaling. I wrote a blog post on this here: http://chrisgriffith.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/understanding-resizing-and-scaling-in-flash- catalyst/

Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You're not using the full URL to the file.
You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
"http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

action script in flash 7 and 8 was changes slightly and not
all things
are compatible from flash 6 files.
Go to file - publish setting and under FLASH tab select
version 6 and action script 1.0
This could help. Else you have no choice but redo the
template so it is new player
compatible.

Urami

FLV files will not play in flash player

I'm an old GoLive user and I'm becoming very frustrated with
the new CS3 software. I am trying to encode a simple quicktime
movie into flash using Adobe flash encoder and then embed it into
my web page. Even when I use all the default settings in flash
encoder still nothing will play the movie even Flash Player 9. I've
posted it to my server and embedded it into my Dreamweaver page,
uploaded the new scripts and I still just get a blank white box
where the movie should play. Has anyone else come across this? I've
followed through the help menu and it appears like everything works
except it won't play.
Thanks,
Adam

I finally got some help from another forum and figured out
what I was doing wrong. Firstly to view the flv files on your
machine use VLC player. If they play in their entirety the way they
should there is nothing wrong with the encoding. When you embed the
flv files in dreamweaver be sure to upload the skin and upload the
flv file first and link to its remote http address and not the
local address.

Why does the audio in my .SWF file not play in a Browser?

I created an .swf file using ffmpeg, containing H.264 video and MP3 audio. The file plays perfectly in VLC but not in a Browser (Chrome/IE). I tried analyzing the file using a trial version of Flash decompiler. Again, only the video plays. The strange thing is that if I extract the MP3 from the file, it plays perfectly using any of th eplayers. It seems to be a muxing issue which VLC apparently handles, but not the player in the browser! Why? Thanks for any pointers.

Yeah. Sorry to say this but many people buy the various brands of format converters, which are everywhere on the Web and which also spam these boards – and often find they are not only out the purchase price but that the app created as many problems as it solved.

Swf file not playing in browser

I have a problem with a swf file which will not play in web browser.
It played fine until I updated my site. I therefore suspected a pathing issue within dreamweaver and looked thorugh that forum for an answer.
I tried typing the absolute path to the swf file in the browser address bar and found it straight away. When I clicked on it the screen stayed blank.
I checked the path to the file and the flv file was relative to the document and not the site.
swf plays fine in flash player, flash, and locally on dreamweaver.
I moved the swf up the file tree and changed the links accordingly but still would not play.
I also tried saving it as a new swf from flash, but that doesn't play either.
I added another swf to the containing folder and that played fine in the browser.
When I open the fla file in flash it only shows a flv playback movie, not the elements, I think this is because it was created in after effects.
Here is the link to the containing folder, the swf file is Home_page_movie_V2.swf
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01 Home
I have other swf files playing fine and this swf played ok originally so I still think it's a pathing problem but I am not that savvy on flash and cannot figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, just bear in mind my low level of ability.
Thanks
Stuart

The .swf is loading just fine... but it is expecting to load a .flv video file.
The path inside the .swf to the .flv file is not correct. The path inside the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the .swf as it's located on the Web page, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
Here is the absolute address of the .flv:
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01%20Home/Home%20V1.flv
Here is a test player using that address:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/flash/cidm_simple_vid_player.html
So unless your .swf is broken, it just a pathing issue.
From an old post:
Pathing issues
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 only play after FLash CS5.5 is loaded

I click on a swf file in a folder and for a while it said it was a shockwave file (after I downlaoded and installed Shockwave, I don't know why, had nothing to do I guess). So I realized that shockwave wasn't the answer and uninstalled it.
Then when I click on a swf file, nothing happens. I've right clicked on it and tried to put an association with it but I don't know where the flash player 11.1.152 resides in orderr to make the association.
I had cs4 D,P, and cs5,D,P, which I just recently uninstalled becaues adobe told me it was ok to uninstall the Design Premium since I recently purchased cs5.5 master collection. I usually don't fool around with files like this but
I must have been bored. Now I'm not.
t Since I don't know wha t to associate my swf files with, I associated it (file association, I get there by right clicking on a swf file and a small window opens and asks what prorgram it should use to open the swf file). I know it's FLASH but
I don't know where the file resides... in windows? In program files? In program data?? Where?? Once I find it, I will be able to chooes it and make the file association. and I am sure it will work then. I have an adobe case # with this issue
but it's taking them 2 days now to find an answer. they suggested I come here, so here I am. PLease assist!! Thanks in advance! doug

So, I finally figured out how to do it. And here is the code for anyone who is trying to do the same.
First thing first when you are exporting captivate file to flash it creates a "com" folder, you will need that folder to access the rdSoundHandler.
And then simply use the following code to play/pause the swf. This code will not work for swf file created in flash.
This is the answer to problem I found, if anyone find a better way then please keep posted.
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import com.adobe.captivate.flash.rdSoundHandler;
var ldr:Loader=new Loader();
addChild(ldr);
ldr.load(new URLRequest("externalCaptivate.swf"));
playp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playF);
pausep.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pauseF);
function playF(e:Event){
MovieClip(ldr.content).rdcmndResume = 1;
function pauseF(e:Event){
MovieClip(ldr.content).rdcmndPause = 1;

How do I get SWF files to open in Flash Player?

Currently they have no program associated to the extension. When I try 'Open With...' I cannot find Flash Player at all and opening in IE causes a loop between opening an IE window and the 'Open File, Save File, ect' window.
I'm currently running Windows 7, Mozilla Firefox, and have no other isses with things playing on my PC.

You can either try associating .swf files with a browser so they open the SWF directly, or else you can download the standalone (aka "projector") flash player and associate the files with that.
Here's where you can download the standalone player:

SWF file not playing in dreamweaver

I have an SWF file on my homepage that used to work just fine, now all the sudden it does not work in preview or when I upload it (I have not changed the file in anyway.)

External .swf files not playing, or showing up

Hello All,
I'm a bit confused. I have created a video interface (vidPlayer.swf) file, and am calling on external .swf's (movieName.swf), which contain paths to the original .flv files (movieName.flv) that are to play. The navigation lives on the the main interface file (vidPlayer.swf). This works fine when I'm publishing locally from my system, or if I upload it to a remote server, and play it on my computer. When another individual attempts to either (a.) play it from the server on their system, or (b.) publish it to the web for it's intended use, the interface appears and the loader performs when video track is selected, but the video never plays. Only on my system does it work. Even from a remote server, it plays on my system.
I have not wrapped my head completely around AS3 yet, so I'm using deprecated script. On the main interface swf (vidPlayer.swf) I have the following script controlling the loader ( I also use this same loading script for the external video swf's):
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);
function preloader(){
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()){
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);}
loadBar_mc._xscale = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal())*100;
loader_txt.text=Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100)+"%";
On the navigation buttons (tracks), I have the following script (there are 14 tracks total, so the content varies between load and unload content):
on (release){
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("02-systemAdministration.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("03-gatewaySetUp.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("04-homePage.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("05-addUser.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("06-changePasswordOrPermission.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("07-inventorySetUp.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("08-storageContainer.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("09-addDeicingOperator.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("10-orderCryotechProducts.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("11-recordDelivery.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("12-adjustInventory.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("13-deicingLog.swf");
mc_videoPlayer.unloadMovie("14-PTOCClog.swf");
_root.gotoAndStop(11);
mc_videoPlayer.loadMovie("01-firstLogin.swf");
I have all the .swf's (movieName.swf), .flv's (movieName.flv) and main interface .swf (vidPlayer.swf) in the same folder, so there shouldn't be any missing directory paths.
I don't know what's going on! I have this set up exactly as a previouse project, using the same interface, scripting and file directory, and it words perfectly from any system, being hosted from anywhere.
Can anyone help????

*swf file not playing whilst it had in the past, what is wrong?

I used several *swf files on my site that always worked well. All the sudden they don't. Updated FireFox to version 4, they still don't work. Flash PlugIn is fine, flash plays in everything BUT FireFox.
You may have a look at www.DiveLux.lu then choose Gallery and in the frame one of the swf files. It doesn't work for me or my friends. None of us changed anything (site didn't change either) but it doesn't work anymore.
Anything I can do?
Best regards,
Nepu

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug

Title
NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug or feature
Description
Problem Description:
NetStream.send can not send data to peerstreams when using with cirrus. Conflict with documents.
Sorry for tag the build as 11.0.1.3 while the bug is actually on 11.2 beta since the bug report system didn't have 11.2 beta yet.
If you are not responsible for 11.2 beta bug fix, please help a hand to handle this bug to 11.2 team.
This bug is "killing" to your application, so we really appreciate your help. Thanks.
==Publisher==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
ns.publish("sendtest");
...//after connection success.
ns.send("clientfunction", "ok"); // this line cannot reach subscribers. even if subscribers have client object correctly.
==Subscriber==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, cirrusid);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.clientfunction = clientfunction; // target function
ns.client = client;
ns.play("sendtest");
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the code in the attachment to SendTestExample.swf (not be able to paste it here)
2. run it under flash player 11.2.202.19 beta
3. run it under flash player 11
Actual Result:
HeartBeat is:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
send hello
send hello
which means NetStream.send was not able to call "clientfunction" as expected.
Expected Result:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
which can call into the clientfunction as flash player 11 did.
Any Workarounds:
I can not find it out since it's an api level bug. But this can be very important for lots of applications which rely on send to do rpc.
