Swf files are not playing after being published

i am trying to run the 'connector' example that comes bundled with smartfoxserver2x downloads..there it connects to the server and loads the correct configuration file. when i run it in adobe flash professional 5,it runs correctly and connects to the server but after being published as SWF movie,it doesnt work.it loads the configuration file but cant connect and gives error connection failure..ERROR 2048
this is the example i am talking about. http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/ExamplesFlash/connector
flash

that's probably a local security restriction you have. reset it to allow your swf to communicate across your local sandbox to the internet: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
or test online.
in the future, please copy and paste complete error messages.

Imported Flash files are not playing in published output

Adobe Presenter 7 with the latest updates and PowerPoint 2007
When I insert a Captivate 3 generated Flash file into a Presenter slide, the flash file does not play in the Published output. The slide's image is displayed for 5 seconds and then stops.
After further review, I found that my imported Flash files are not included in the output. Any ideas?
Terry

Hi Terry,
It's been awhile since I've messed around w/ Captivate 3, but I have a quick question: does your Captivate content include a skin.swf file? If so, then you may have to look at a couple of different solutions to fix the playback problem that you're seeing with Presenter.
One fix includes eliminating the skin by turning the borders option off which will eliminate the "_skin.swf" file. That'll be one less file to deal with, but you need to do that BEFORE publishing in Captivate. From there, you should end up with one swf file from your Captivate content; and then at that point you can include that swf in your Presenter content.
And while we're at it....are you using any Full Motion Recordings at all? I've seen instances where, as you reported, Captivate content will run for awhile, but then the screen "goes blank"...so I'm just curious to know if your Captivate content in actuality has many more files than the "base" swf---which is probably the swf you included in PowerPoint.
Having said that, can you share more information about what your Captivate project looks like (in terms of the number of swf files you're working with, etc), and let's see if we can resolve this for you.

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed.

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed. Sometimes it's changing the title of a movie or editing the season and episode number of a TV show ect.....

Yup same here
I am running the latest iTunes, the latest updates to the OS and on an iMac 3.4GHz Quad core i7 with 8GB of RAM and the music stored on local HDD.

Some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0

some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0
have upgraded and some songs which used to play on iTunes 7 no longer play. album art is missing. when trying to play on of these songs, nothing appears in the playbar at the top of the window.
it seems the same problem exists in the mac os environment.

The solution I discovered to fix this problem was to create a smart playlist with all song of a kind containing MPEG. Then I went through album by album, and coverted ID3 tags using the value of NONE. This then enabled me to play the songs in iTunes 8.0 and in many cases restored the Album Art.
Thanks!

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.

Picture files only partially display after being published

Recently .jpg and .png pictures I have created only partially display after being published. I've tested it using Paint, Publisher and Gimp with mixed results. The pictures display correctly when I view them locally on my pc.
Here are the test pictures I made in each program:
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/GimpTest.jpg
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/PublisherTest.jpg
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/PaintTest.jpg
The only pictures that fully display are those that were taken from a camera, but after I resized one in paint, it also didn't display properly. My question really is, is this an issue with Microsoft Expression Web or with the server hosting the files?

Publisher is NOT a photo editing program. Neither is Word. Nor is Paint.
You need a real, and simple, photo editing program. Paint.NET is a good, free one. I find GIMP cumbersome (but it's batch processing is handy). And your graphics aren't being created and saved properly. For example, the events.html page has graphics on it
that total well over 3 MegaBytes! Pity the poor soul with a wireless connection. The graphics on the events.html page are largely illegible, and as such serve no real purpose (and make the site look bad).
Let's take an example...on the home page gallery is a graphic for the 2015 Chamber Scholarship. It's displayed at 525 x 340 pixels, yet the image sitting on the server (and which must be downloaded by the visitor) is 1275 x 825 pixels. So you have an unnecessarily
large graphic taking space on the server, having to download to the visitor's computer at full size, and then be shrunk by the browser to only 17% of the original area. That file should be created and saved in a proper graphics program at the final size you
plan to use (and in this case, use PNG format). The larger file takes at least 5 times the storage space on the server as a properly sized file (and takes 5 times as long to download and upload).
I've superimposed the display size on top of the full size and shrunk them down to display here in the forum. See below.
All the graphics that I have checked on your site have the same problem, and if your site has been up a long time and you haven't cleaned out the old files on the server, you may have run out of server space, which would corrupt the new files.
Smaller files will also upload faster and more reliably. Plus--browsers stink at resizing graphics. Do that in a proper graphics program to get the best quality.
Use JPG for photos, GIF for hard-edge graphics with few colors and no gradations/shading, and PGN for hard-edge graphics with full color and gradations/shading. And make sure you are saving the images in the proper version of the format (RGB for web).

But when I automate this process,files are not getting deleted.
Am I missing something or is this feature not available in this product?
Any help will be appreciated.

.Mov files are not playing on my Mac BookPro

As of this week, I am unable to play my .mov files through Quick Time on my Mac Book Pro. A small windo appears and states that sometype of conversion is occurring and eventually some of my movie files will play.
I am at work creating a .mov file through quick time and the file will not play.

That's a well documented limitation of JavaFX. Mov files are simply not supported.

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
the Additional Files section.
Try it

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.

HELP! SWF file is not allowing me to publish in presenter

I am in need of some help with a problem that I can not figure out. Presenter will not allow me to publish any courses that I have SWF files incorporated into to. Here is what happens. The SWF file plays just fine, as it is inserted into 1 slide, and works properly on powerpoint. When I go to publish the course, it does all the steps like normal, and looks like it is publishing and zipping the file correctly. Problem is when I go into the file where I am publishing/zipping file to, it is not there. Very odd.... I know it definately has to do with the SWF file because one of my courses does not have the video in it and that published and zips just fine. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
I am using Adobe Presenter 7.06, Windows XP, and PowerPoint 2007

To find out if the swf is AS2 or AS3 you can try the following
From Presenter, click on Insert SWF and in the window that opens up, select a swf file
If the swf is an AS3 swf, you will see a warning message towards the bottom of this window
And regarding the problem that you are facing, its really strange as we have not heard of any such issues till now
Can you try publishing to some custom folder(say create a folder on Desktop and choose the same in the publish dialog instead of the default location)
and verify if the published files are getting generated or not

Hyperlinks from converted excel file are not working after pdf file is moved

I have created a pdf file from an excel file that has hyperlinks in it. The hyperlinks work fine if the files are all kept in the same exact location as the time they were created. Once the files are moved (i.e. emailed to another user) the hyperlinks no longer work. An error message pops up that the file can not be found. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in acrobat that allows for the files to be moved, so that the hyperlinks still function properly, after creation

No settings adjustments.
The issue is that links, once made, have a specific path (as shown when you view the link's text string).
When you email the files the person who recieves the email and downloads the attachments would have to have the same layout of files/folders you have.
Without that links are "broken"
You email a zip file that, when extracted, would create the folders/files in the required layout to reflect what you have.
Be well...

[SOLVED] SWF files are not working in Firefox 5.0.1. When visiting websites with 'zoom' on photos Forefox asks how to handle rather than just going to zoom

On previous versions of Firefox I was able to use the 'zoom' feature on photos at retail websites. This no longer works. (You can go to Territory Ahead as an example). Firefox asks what to do with the SWF file. There is no option to use Shockwave (I think this is a Shockwave file). Thanks for your help. Warren

Ooops. Never mind. I recently upgraded other programs and I no longer had the Shockwave player installed in my system. Reinstalled it and all if well.

Hyperlinks Not Function After Being Published

Hello,
I've recently switched over to iWeb 08 and really dig all the new functions. I am running into one spot of trouble and hope that someone might shed some light on it for me.
I've got a few images that I use as hyperlinks rather than text. The hyperlinks are fully functional while in iWeb and everything is fine in the inspector window, yet when I publish the site, the links are no longer operational. Some of the text links have now decided to stop working as well.
The non-functioning thumbnail links are at:
http://www.lolabydesign.com/LolaByDesign/Bead_Gallery.html
The non-functioning text links are at:
http://www.lolabydesign.com/LolaByDesign/Shop_Instructions.html
I publish to my desktop, then use Fetch to upload the files to my host at netrfirms.
This seems kind of random as other links on the site work fine, and I have never run into this problem before.
Anyone have a quick fix for this one? As the images are thumbnails which point towards the full-size image, using text is not an option in this case.
Thanks in advance!
~Lola

Hi,
there's this shapeimage
http://www.lolabydesign.com/LolaByDesign/ShopInstructions_files/shapeimage4.png
in front of the links, thus they do not work.
If you can send that to back (select, ctrlclicksend back)

ITUNES MUSIC NOT PLAYING AFTER BEING MOVED TO EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

I moved my itunes library to an external hard drive a long time ago no problem. Now i bought a 1TB to transfer it because i was running out of space on the other one so i transfer the folder itunes music everything went okay.But now when i turn off the other hard drive to make sure my music came to this new hard drive and play it doesn't. Unless i go one by one and find the file in the new hard drive it won't play. So what can i do? I just move the itunes music folder everything else is where it was. I followed all directions i found on the internet they all say just moved the music folder which i did. So where did i go wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

It depends on what you want. If you want everything to be on the external drive, and all of your music is in the iTunes folder now, then you can just drag the entire iTunes folder (the entire folder, not just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Option key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location. Everything - playlists, ratings, etc. - should remain intact and all future purchases and imports should go to the new location on the external drive. Once you're certain that everything is working as it should from the external drive, you can then delete the iTunes folder from your internal drive.
Caution, though: once you do this, make sure the external drive is connected and mounted before launching iTunes. If the drive isn't mounted, iTunes will automatically switch back to using the default location on your internal hard drive and will of course show a blank library. This won't be a problem, though; just quit iTunes and relaunch using the Option key and select the folder on the external drive once again.
