SWF File not working after upload to server, but works on local system

HELP PLEASE.....I have created a Fla and exported a swf file
from Flash 8 and Export (Flash 6). I can preview the page in
Dreamweaver just fine, but when i upload it and the html file, it
isn't showing up. It leaves a blank spot on the page. It is just a
simple banner with graphic clips and motion tween text, with image
bgd. All images are jpg.
I have tried:
1. Using a full link to the swf file.
2. Removed drop-shodows in swf file
3. convert to Flash mx 2004 file
4. Exported to higher Flash version to see if the flash
player was an issue.
5. Exported with no dashes in name
6. Added Scr file into Dreamweaver
7. Made a new test file to see if it was something in the
current html doc, same result.
8. Tried viewing on a pc, same result. Created on mac.
Here is the test page if anyone wants to take a look.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
Test
Page Link

The link you provided is to the SWF file, not to an HTML
file, so no one can test your HTML file.
Have you checked the code for the embedding of the SWF file
in your HTML file? I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I do know that
if you start assembling a Dreamweaver file without first saving the
HTML, embedded graphics and other items are inserted as direct
links to the files on your computer, rather than as relative paths.
There is one other possible issue: I note that your swf is
called CWABanner.swf. Depending on your FTP settings, it is
possible that your server is forcing all file names to lower case
(a common practice). Which means the file on your server will be
cwabanner.swf. Again, depending on how the web server is set up, if
it is case sensitive, it will treat CWABanner and cwabanner as
separate files. So if the HTML calls CWABanner.swf, but the FTP
upload has forced a rename to lower case to cwabanner.swf, the HTML
file will not find it. Check this out, or to be absolutely certain,
rename everything to lower case: the file name itself and the
reference in the HTML file.

External swf file not using URLRequest

Good morning guys.
You can load an external swf file not using URLRequest? Since embed html code is setted as <param value="never" name="allowscriptaccess"/>
I have this problem and I need to load a swf skin
thank you

are you loading a swf (done during runtime) or importing one (done during authortime)?
in either case, the allowscriptaccess parameter of the external swf (that your loading or importing) is irrelevant. allowscriptaccess is assigned in the main (loading or importing) swf's embedding html page and is used to control html/js access of the main and loaded swfs.
if you trust the swf you're loading, you can change allowscriptacess to always. if you're importing a swf, none of its actionscript will execute anyway so it doesn't matter whether its trusted or not.

YouTube thumbnails not visible on Safari

The thumbnails on YouTube are not visible on Safari. The videos play fine. The automatic seach suggestion isn't working. Also, I can't expand the video player to the medium size; I can watch in full screen and the smaller video player size. Everything is fine in other browsers such ad Google Chrome. I tried uninstalling Adobe Flash Player and reinstalling the latest version. I don't remember installing or changing any settings that might have caused this to happen. I am using a MacBook Pro Version 10.6.8. Help me please!

You can make the user agent fix work permanently in all windows/tabs from terminal with this:
defaults write com.apple.Safari CustomUserAgent "\"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0\""
Note that there's a SPACE between "rv:11.0)" and "Gecko" The string is what you get from the Develop menu in Safari if you hover your mouse over one of the settings.
You can turn this off and revert to "normal" behaviour with:
defaults delete com.apple.safari CustomUserAgent
if you use this trick and pick any IE user agent setting, GMail will break if you use it from Safari, that's why I've picked the Mozilla setting.
Hope this helps until a proper fix comes along.

Problem: text fade in/out in swf-file not working correctly

Hello to all,
this is my first post.
I work in a printing company and we want to administrate now our website by our own and
we have bought now Dreamweaver CS4 and Flash CS4 for Mac. My Flash skill-level is "Beginner",
but I am OK with simple tweenings, using symbols and that.
I have done an advertisment banner for the home, 550x290 px, background-pictures
and headlines fading in and out, later until the end there are three subheadlines for pricing details.
The published swf-file works absolutely fine on my Mac, and also
embedded in the site in Safari and Opera.
Before uploading I wanted to check in IE and Opera on a Windows-PC
and now there is the problem:
the first headline does not fade in, it suddenly just appears.
The second headline fades in the place of the first, when the first one is
fading out. So now, for a second the text is appearing above each other and
both neither fade in nor fade out.
The three subheadlines later start one by one, and they work fine and fade in
and out correctly. All pictures fade in and out correctly, too.
What could that be?
I`ve just installed the newest flash-player on the Windows-PC and
the problem is still there when I open the swf-file or when I embed it in the website.
I would be deeply grateful for any hint.
Thanks!

Hi!
The difference was, the headline property was accidentally "dynamic text", the subheadlines were static.
I missed that.
Before changing that now in the fla-file I checked the old one on differrent company macs,
the problem is only one a few macs, say one of ten had the problem I watched.
I think now, that must be just bad luck or it is a player problem.
Allow me the question please:
should I use dynamic text or static (then I cannot embed the font, the option dispappears then
in the Properties-panel).
Thanks again!

SWF files not loading onto page in Catalyst output.

Hello,
This is a new one that I have not yet seen. I have a large assortment of SWF files set up in Scroll Panes and they are not loading up when I check the project using Firefox or Safari. The site is here:
www.electronic-lifestyle.com
Go into any page linked from the top row and then hit a sub page. When you see a scroll bar come up on the right side of the film strip yet nothing inside the film strip you will see the issue.
This is really serious and could screw up my entire project so any advice would be really helpful. I need to figure out why the SWF files are not loading in on the browser with the files from the server when they work just fine using the local deploy files. Everything works just fine from the machine but when I try to get it to download from the server nothing.
All of the SWF files are built in Flash CS5 using AS3 and contain some simple links and commands. Some of the SWF files are coming up just fine, it is just the latest batch of files I have uploaded that are giving me the problem, but only off the server. The same files work just fine in local mode.
Thanks in advance,
Brett

Chris,
This is not an apples to apples comparison but I think it will Illustrate the differences. This is a sample of code from Catalyst that works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Group xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:fclib="com.adobe.flashcatalyst.components.*" xmlns:d="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008/dt">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            protected function mac_btn_clickHandler():void
                navigateToURL( new URLRequest( encodeURI("http://www.mcintoshlabs.com")), "_blank");
            protected function integra_btn_clickHandler():void
                navigateToURL( new URLRequest( encodeURI("http://www.integrahometheaters.com")), "_blank");
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <fclib:SWFController loadForCompatibility="true" source="assets/images/ElectronicMain2c.swf" x="0"/>
    <s:Button skinClass="components.Button1" x="0" y="1328" d:userLabel="Mac_btn" click="mac_btn_clickHandler()"/>
    <s:Button skinClass="components.Button1" label="Button" x="0" y="1768" d:userLabel="Integra_btn" click="integra_btn_clickHandler()"/>
</s:Group>
This is an example of the AS3 code that was confounding the SWF load on the example I gave:
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.mcintoshlabs.com"), "_blank");
button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.integrahometheater.com/"), "_blank");
Now these are from the same page, the first of which is online right now here:
www.electronic-lifestyle.com/AS/Main.html
This particular code is used on the Electronics page. When I look at the two side by side it seems there are some syntax differences but I do not know enough about AS3 to tell what the important differences are.
Thanks for looking,
Brett

Can Not send pictures and documents with my webmail, the link is Not visible on Safari Browser

Hello, i can Not send pictures and documents wit my tele2 webmail, the link to so this is Not visible. I tried Safari, Opera, and Dolphin.

Safari doesn't support the attaching/uploading of files. If you want to send documents or photos that you have stored on the iPad then you can use the Mail app - if you've set up your email account on it, then you should be able to start in the app that contains the document, and then use that app's functionality to select the document and attach it to an email e.g. in the Photos app you can use the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it to select and email a picture

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.

Flash .swf file not appearing in browser when publishing from iWeb 3.02

I have been working on a site for the last couple of months that i created in iWeb 2.0 and had successfully had small flash movies that I embedded via html snippets from code provided by numerous sources and youtube videos demonstrating how to get flash movies into one's site.
The url is
www.almafoods.com
Today i upgraded to 3.02 and had to make a change to the home page. The domain opened up fine with all the HTML code and .swf on the page exactly as I had it in version 2.0
When I now publish to a folder, first of all it doesn't copy over the .swf file unless I create a link to the file, but even when I upload all the directories to my ISP's remote server, the movie isn't not showing up in the browser. The html code file and .swf file are in their correct directories on my ISP's remote server
I'm baffled as to what is going on here as its the exact same domain that worked perfectly in 2.0 and this has peed me off no end
Does anyone have any suggestions or encountered the same problem in 3.02?
Any advice would be very much appreciated

Your .swf files are in the same folder as the widget-markup files.
Keep your custom files OUTSIDE the folder with the sitename iWeb creates.
iWeb will overwrite everything when it needs to do that, wiping out your custom files.
Put the files in a separate folder and determine the link to these files.
Read this : Using the iWeb HTML Snippet
Besides that, to display these tiny pictures I wouldn't use Flash.
Read this : Create a Banner Slideshow
And then look at this page : My House

SWF file not showing in browser

Hi all,
I have inserted a swf file into a webpage in dreamweaver CS5 that needs to have a transparent background.
I have done all the necessary things in flash and set the "wmode" to "transparent" in the parameters section in DW.
This is where the problem arises. It displays with an opaque backbround but when I change it to transparent it disappears completely.
here is the offending page:
http://www.makeupbydoll.com/
I had the same thing working on a previous version of the site but can't seem to resolve this issue.
Any assistance much appreciated!
~Alister~

Looks like your swfobject embed method is not working correctly. Turn off swfobject and test again without it.
In the <head> just rename the swfobject file so that it won't load.... easy to change.. test... change back again:
Change this:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
to this:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified_off.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you'll see I just appended "_off" to the file name, then save and test the page... quick and easy way to turn off that file... then test again.

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.

Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share. Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when I connect my iPad2. I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes.
PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

This is not a reply but an addition. While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
I went through this promising procedure but it did not help. Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.
