.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.

  • .3g2 files won't play in any media player

    Hello.
    Ever since we updated to OS X Mavericks, any old .3g2 files won't play in any media player on our iMac. When we go to play them, they play button in QuickTime just flashes from pause to play and then back to pause and and nothing happens. I'm not sure if this file type is becoming outdated and therefore is not compatible with the new OS X, but I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this.
    Thanks.

    Did you try VLC?

  • 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 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!

  • 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 />

  • 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

    It looks like it's there, but it doesn't play.
    I have the same problem when I try to insert a
    Flashpaper2 file (.swf), supposedly compatible as it's made by
    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!!!!!

  • SWF files won't play in Firefox

    When opening SWF files from my computer, Firefox won't run the file, and instead opens a 'save' box so I can apparently re-save the file to my hard drive. This happens both when I drag and drop a file from Windows Explorer and also when I choose 'Open File' from the File menu in Firefox. This only started a few months ago and I haven't been able to find a working solution online.

    When I Generate, the link points to file:///c:/users/...../www.[website

  • SWF File Won't Play on Internet

    I've been all over the internet finding the answer to my
    problem. I have a website in which I've got two Flash movies that I
    need to play. One works fine. I had purchased a flash template,
    editted it, and published, no problem. The other, I have a photo
    gallery template that I customized, but it won't play on the
    internet, not even with the generated html file. Just a big black
    square appears. Here is a url to the non-working one:
    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/ScottHambergArt.html
    This is the html that Flash 8 generated. I did notice that
    the publish settings in Flash 8 are set for "Default" and the other
    Flash file that is working is set for "Flash CS4 Settings". When I
    add that as a profile to the photo gallery, I get error
    messages.I've got screenshots of all the settings in Flash, the
    working and not working files below:
    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/WorkingPublishSettings.jpg
    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/NotWorkingPublishSettings.jpg
    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/NotWorkingPublishSettings1.jpg
    This is the url to the working Flash file:
    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/index2.html
    I might be giving way too much info, but I figure better safe
    than sorry. And by the way, I'm really new to this (that's why I
    get templates).

    I forgot to attach the code. Sorry.

  • Swf files won't play

    Various .swf files have lost their icon & won’t open – I get “windows can’t open this file…. Use the web to find correct program OR select from a list of installed programs” if I select the first  get.adobe.com/flashplayer opens but even after downloading & installing the problem’s not resolved & the second option doesn’t list flashplayer. I’ve tried downloading shockwave, but it hasn’t helped.
    These were running fine in a 'stand alone' flash player i.e. NOT in a browser
    About the same time I suddenly got a problem with Adobe Reader X – I don’t want to cross post, but it seems unlikely that two adobe applications should suddenly go wrong at the same time without there being a common cause so I’m mentioning my post in the Adobe Reader forum – “AcroRd32.dll problem?”
    Any suggestions, welcomed; I’m stumped!
    Thanks

    You cannot open SWF files with "adobe flash player install manager"; you need to associate it with the standalone Flash Player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

  • Flash (swf) files won't play LOCALLY

    For a couple years now I've been making Flash demos that are
    embedded in an HTML page, for viewing online. The exact same pages
    also work offline, ie. from a CD, USB drive, or another PC's hard
    drive.
    Suddenly, that just stopped working! I've done all the
    troubleshooting and bug elimination I can do - there's no reason I
    can come up with why the pages which preview fine off my authoring
    PC and work perfectly when online, DON'T work anymore when the
    exact same directory is taken to another PC.
    All the referred links are in place, I can view the SWF from
    USB when I drag & drop the file to a browser (so the plugins
    are fine), I know the linking is correct, but when the HTML is
    viewed locally from another machine, the embedded SWF just... never
    appears. My old pages done the same way still work, but no new
    pages do. I've compared code side-by-side and it all looks fine...
    this page show the demo fine online...
    www.invmed.info/test/all_mono/e_demo_clrcassette_mono.html
    ...but when you download this EXACT SAME directory to another
    PC, the Flash doesn't appear. Can anyone please tell me why?? Here
    is the simple directory of files:
    www.invmed.info/test/test.zip

    I FIGURED IT OUT! The AC_RunActiveContent.js script was not
    being correctly pathed to by Dreamweaver, even when brand new pages
    were made. For the script to be created the first time (and it
    won't mention it again after that), you have to start a whole new
    site. Once I did that, the clues finally started fitting together.
    Found the code via search, fixed the offending path, and
    voila.

  • 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.

  • I'm opening a garageband file on a different computer than the one it was made on, and my drum loops are playing as low pitched beeps instead of the jazzy brushes I want. I believe my version is more up-to-date than what I used first. How can I fix this?

    I believe I said it all in the question...

    Could it be that you had more instruments on the old computer? Or haven't correctly installed the instruments on the new one?
    Obviously, GB hasn't assigned a drum instrument to the track that the drum notes are on (my guess: since it doesn't have the desired drum set.) Press cmd-I to make the track info pane visible and pick one of the drum sets for that track.

  • My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to.  what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

    My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus.  Had to wipe it clean.  Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer.  What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch.  Any suggestions?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Videos won't play in any browser

    Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
    I get this message.
    "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

    First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
    Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
    The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
    The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.
