Swf. file won't load in file preview or webpage

I'm a Creative Cloud member that has created a one page website using Dreamweaver CS6. I've uploaded all the files of my one page website to Business Catalyst to learn how to put a site on the web and manage it . Included on my one page websight is a swf. file. The swf. file appears in the file manager window of Business Catalyst, but won't open in the preview window on the file manager page of Business Catalyst. I've made the site live, but the swf. file won't open when the live site is openend in a browser on a computer other than the computer that holds the original files uploaded to Business Catalyst. What am I doing wrong?

It would be best to post a link to a live test page online.
If you mean while being previewed in a browser, which one(s) are having the problem with?

SWF links won't open in Dreamweaver preview

Hi,
I'm kinda new to flash and feeling my way around things, but I've run into a snag and haven't found an answer on any forums yet.
I've created a navigation bar for a website using movie clips with nested animation and I made those movie clips links to different pages in my website.
When I preview the file in Flash CS3, the links work fine. However, when I preview the SWF file in the the webpage built in dreamweaver, the links won't act like links anymore.
This is my code to handle the link:
var urlRequest:URLRequest =
    new URLRequest('iengine.html');
ielink.addEventListener
    (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, gotoLinkHandler);
function gotoLinkHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(urlRequest,'_self');
Am I making a common mistake? Or is there something else I need to help flash integrate with dreamweaver?
Thanks so much for any help!

You need to name the links in the Flash file as if it were living in the same folder as the html file that holds it... essentially because when you load it into that file, that file becomes its relative reference for loading/targeting.

Swf movie won't load in html page

I have a flash movie that loads another movie into a place holder container upon opening.
So, 2 swf files - one is the main movie and the other the one that loads into the main movie.
Works just fine when testing in flash or clicking on the swf files outside of flash.
But when I embedd the main movie into my html page - the main movie loads ok, but it doesn't load the child movie. I have both swf files in the directory so I am not getting why it works fine except when placing into html page.
Any thoughts on this without uploading the actual files or code for everything somewhere?
Thanks!

are all 3 files in the same directory?
if not, you probably have a path error in your loading code. (the path is relative to the embedding html's location.)
if yes, you probably have incorrect/incomplete embedding code. (to test, use the html file generated by flash without editing.)

SWF Movie Won't Load in Preview Mode?

Hey, I'm new to all of this, but when I put my .SWF movie into my website as an advertisment banner, but when I open it in preview mode, it just doesn't load. Why is this?
Here is the code for it (I think):
<tr>
    <td height="404" colspan="2"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" align="middle" id="FlashID">

      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

Swf often won't load until refresh

Around noon yesterday we seem to have introduced a bug that causes our swf to NOT RENDER until you refresh the browser. Upon subsequent refreshes it renders very quickly. I looked through my commits and couldn't yet figure out what changed to cause this. It seemed like a CSS change might be the one that led to the problem. I could give you before and after swfs if you would be able to analyze them.

Since updating safari, it scrambles pdfs and won't load them in preview

since the last update of Safari, I cannot open any pdfs in either preview or adobe reader (I prefer preview). it will however open photos if I click on them (and opens them in preview). what I get when I click on something to open - or sometimes even a link, is a page of gibberish. Help!

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

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.
Best wishes,

Linking from SWF files to web pages

Hi
I'm using the latest Flash CS3.
Basically, I want to link from the SWF file to a webpage.
Here's what I've done so far.
Created the FLA file, imported the quicktime movie into it
etc etc.
I've then added a behaviour by clicking on the inserted
movie, then BEHAVIORS >WEB> GO TO WEB PAGE> and filled in
all the relevant text for the link.
Then I have saved the file. Then I have published then OK.
I have embeded the SWF file in a web page, but when I click
on the movie, it shows there's a link, but it won't link to the
webpage.
What am I doing wrong? I dont understand.
Can't get my head around this!
When I go to the FLA file, then publish preview > flash,
and the movie appears on its own, the link works... but the SWF
file doesn't.
Basically what do I need to do to make it work.
The coding I am using in my web-page is:
<p align="center"><center>
<object width="165" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="
http://homovision.media7london.com/wordpress/Newcontribute.swf"
/>
<embed src="
http://homovision.media7london.com/wordpress/Newcontribute.swf"
width="165" height="100" />
</object>
</p></center>
The movie plays, the "link hand" appears above it, but when
it is clicked nothign happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Simon

Did you inport to the stage and put a stop (action script) on
the frame?

Swf file plays in IE8 but not Firefox or Safari

I've inserted an swf file in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert/Media/swf function. It plays fine in IE8 but won't work at all in Firefox or Safari. I can view flash files in other websites using these browsers and I've updated my version of flash so I can only put it down to a coding thing. Website is www.201.com.au and the Dreamweaver code follows. Any suggestions??
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="958" height="242" id="FlashID" title="201_Gallery">
      <param name="movie" value="../flash/201.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      
      
      <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../flash/201.swf" width="958" height="242">
        
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
        </div>
        
      </object>
      
    </object>

The code you have posted is not the same code as used in:
<div id="gallery">
in the link above.
The reason that the Flash is not displaying in FF is that the portion of the code used by FF was omitted. The code currently used on the page only works in IE.
I'm no great fan of the IE conditional statements used in the code you posted so I don't blame you for not using it. But you do need to provide something for FF.... the old, out dated method would be to add and <embed> for FF... here's the newer method..
So either use code you posted above or better yet, get rid of that and replace the current <object> with
<div id="gallery">
<object id="FlashID" data="flash/201.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="958" height="242">
   <param name="movie" value="flash/201.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0"/>
</object>
</div>
Give that a try. Will work in both FF and newer IE versions.

Detect end of the .swf file from captivate

Hi,
I've a .swf file sent by our clients. They want to put that .swf file on the webpage. The .swf file is published from captivate.
Now they want to display a submit button on end of the .swf (video). I don't know how to detect end of the video.
Need help...!!!
Thank you,
Himadri

Welcome to our community
Within Captivate you are able to choose different actions to occur when the Captivate movie completes play. Of course if you don't have Captivate and the project file you are pretty much stuck with what you have. If you *DO* have access to the source, you would then configure the end action to be what you like. Perhaps execute some JavaScript, load a different page, etc.
If you don't have access to the source file, you may be better off asking whomever provided the SWF to you to make a small change to the end action. They would then compile a new SWF and provide that to you to use.
You just said a "Submit" button should appear after the video plays. What exactly is this button supposed to do?
Cheers... Rick

The webpage in the swf file

hi,i want to catch a function that when i open the swf file ,
then the webpage shows in flash, how to realize it? if i use the ie
to parse the html code can achieve the goal. and i want to know how
the AIR achieve the goal. please give me some advice,
thanks.

Yes, I think I am going to have to just use Flash. The flash I was creating was very simple, and Encore would have done the trick if it had not been for the fact that the file would always require the AuthoredContent.xml file. I was just trying to avoid having to learn ActionScript, and most of my animation is coming directly from AfterEffects, with which I am much more comfortable. However, since I first made that post, I have started learning ActionScript, and also realized how to use the XFL format, so it does not appear to be too bad. Within a few weeks, I should be able to create in Flash what I was trying to do in Encore.
Thanks for the advice!

Java Applet not loading in Firefox preview

I am playing around with the classic Java applet "intel
rotating 3d photo cube" and for some reason the applet won't load
when I preview with Firefox. It works fine previewing in Safari and
Opera and even works fine when I open the html file directly
through the finder with Firefox. What could it be? Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem.
(my config is
windows Xp Profesional
jre 1.4.1 03

I'm also using zonealarm as a firewall.
any Ideas?

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.
