SWF files not displaying in browsers

Just installed CS6 Web and Design Premium on 27" iMac with OS X 10.7.4. SWF files from Flash 5/Dreamweaver 5 display fine in all web browsers, but Flash CS6 (ActionScript 3.) SWF files result in the message - "Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation..." I set the root folder of the web site I am working on as a Trusted Location Settings in my System Preferences and restarted, but no luck. What am I missing? Many thanks to anyone who knows what the issue is.

For some darn reason, DW or swfobject thinks that there is a Flash player version 15.... and there ain't! ... at least as far as I know.
Back the version down to the lowest that will work, version 10 if possible... that will avoid most of the "Update Flash" warnings.
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
Change this in both places to version 10 and test again

.swf files not displaying all of a sudden!

Hi all
currently working on a new website for my design company and
have hit an unexpected - and very annoying - problem!
my portfolio graphics are all vector illustrations - I export
them from there as a .swf file - dump them into dreamweaver - and
away we go. all has been going fine - my portfolio covers 4 pages -
first two have worked fine - the final two simply will not display
when previewed in browser - or uploaded via ftp to a site area.
the graphics have all been created in similar ways - the
export functions for .swf have not been altered in any way at all -
but still not displaying. when i open up flash player to preview
the file - again blank - when i do the same with the first two .swf
files, no issues!!
I have recreated the html files to see if that was the issue
... to no avail.
I also dumped the swfs into the 2 html files that are working
fine - still no luck.
tis driving me mad - any ideas guys??? as i said - they are
just vector logos as with the first two pages so not sure what on
earth is happening!
incase this helps with any ideas....
this page as you can see works fine:
http://www.justsoho.com.au/test_portfolio.html
this one doesn't! :
http://www.justsoho.com.au/test_portfolio_02.html
hoping someone can shed some light on this!

Swf file not displaying properly on webpage

Flash Player version 9.0.115.0
Website designed with Dreamweaver 4, Flash 5
IExplorer version 7.0.5730.11
Windows XP Pro
When I preview (using IExplorer 7) in Dreamweaver 4 and
Dreamweaver 8, the swf file looks fine, however, when I go to my
website page, the swf has a white background instead of the green
background it should have.
I do not know if this is an IExplorer 7 problem, MSN Explorer
problem, or flash player problem. My husband has IExplorer 7 and
the Flash player 9.0.115.0 on his computer and it does the same
thing. The computers at our computer centre are using IExplorer 7
and MSN explorer, but I think the flash player is 8 (not absolutely
sure on that - will have to check when I can get there). When I go
to my website there, the swf files look as they should. The site I
am talking about is
http://dodgecoveartsguild.com
The coding I have for one of the swf's file is:
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="225" height="75">
<param name=movie value="star.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="star.swf" quality=high pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="225" height="75">
</embed>
</object></div>
The fla/swf files are at the root directory of the site
How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

How do you know if your table and column attributes are correct?
If I put a static graphic in the Flash file area, it looks fine.

Swf file not displayed in Published Presentation

Hello,
Could anyone help me please.
I have a created a swf file (using Captivate v4, published with Actionscript version 2 selected) and have added it into my Powerpoint (v2002) presentation using the Insert Flash option on the Adobe Presenter (v7) menu. At this point all seems to be ok. When I go into Slideshow mode it looks and works fantastically. The problem is after I have published it. I run the presentation and the slide where I inserted the swf file is completely blank. Nothing appears. I noticed on one of the other discussion threads it was mentioned to remove the skin from swf file, which I have tried.
Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks

I recently encountered something similar to this. I have an inserted AS2 Flash built animation. Simple stuff. It wouldn't play after publishing. It would play in PowerPoint preview however. Strangely, if I played it in preview the last frame was visible when published.
I use MS Office 2007. Initially, the original presentation was a .pptx file. When I saved it as a .ppt file and published, the animation played just fine.
The problem began after Flash Player 10.1 was released. I don't know if that actually had anything to do with the issue.

ICO file not displaying at run time?

Hello Experts,
I an using fusion 11.1.2.1 32 bit. I have Copied the Icons as well as GIF files in C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\forms\java folder.
At button property i set Iconic to yes
and file = addrow
Icon not display at run time.
but when i set file = abc.GIF
image is displaying at run time.
My doubt is that ICO file not displaying at run time while GIF file are displaying.
Do i need to change configuration ?
Please do the needful.
Thanks
Yash

Hi Yash,
First Try this steps
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Double-click My Computer, and then click Options on the View menu.
Verify that the Icon file type appears on the File Types tab. If the Icon file type does not appear in the Registered File Types box, skip to step 10.
Click Icon in the Registered File Types box, and then click Edit.
Verify that the following settings exist, and then click OK:
The Description Of Type box contains Icon.
If there is a Confirm Open After Download check box, it should be selected.
If the settings do not appear exactly as listed in step 4, click Remove, click Yes, and then click OK. If the settings do appear as listed in step 4, skip to step 10.
Click New Type.
In the Description Of Type box, type Icon.
In the Associated Extension box, type ICO.
Click OK, and then click Close.
Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.icokey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:icofileIf the .ico key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist in the .ico key, delete them.
Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofilekey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:iconIf the icofile key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist, delete them.
Create a new key in the icofile key called DefaultIcon , and type %1 as this key's default value.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.
Second Try this
Simple way
Copy your images to:
1
c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\
Notes:
- Icon files may not be supported.
- In case of a Java security issue when using gif images, you will need to create a jar file and sign it with oracles sign-tool (see below, point 6).
- In case you having trouble with oracle’s sign-tool, do it directly with java’s
Recommended way
1. Create a “icons” folder and place all your gifs in there
i.e. “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\<icons>”
2. From within icons folder make a jar file of all the gif images:
1
jar -cvf frmicons.jar *.gif
3. Copy this new jar into “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\”
4. Edit/update formsweb.cfg file:
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg …to update/include:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
# Forms applet parameter
codebase=/forms/java
# Forms applet parameter
imageBase=codebase
# Forms applet archive setting for other clients (Sun Java Plugin...etc)
archive=frmall.jar,frmicons.jar
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmicons.jar
5. Edit/update Registry.dat file:
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\forms\registry\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat
1
2
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
At this point your icons should work normally, but if you get a security check of Java for gif files then proceed to the next step to fix this. TIP: May need to restart the weblogic/forms server for changes to take effect.
6. Sign your jar file with oracles sign_webutil.bat sign-tool.
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\sign_webutil.bat
Firstly, you need to edit the sign_webutil.bat as follows:
1
2
3
SET KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=my_password
SET JAR_KEY=webutil2 # will need to change for every run
SET JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=my_password
Secondly, set the environment path and finally run the command:
1
2
3
set path=c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\jdk\bin
cd c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\
sign_webutil c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\my_icons.jar
This will create your signed jar file. Once initialized from the web-app it should ask the user to “Trust” the certificate and never prompt again.
Other issues you may encounter and may need to edit/update the following files/registry entries as well:
formsweb.cfg
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg

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.

Some .htm file not displaying in Topic List, but displaying in RH11 folder

Hi All,
We are running a project using RH 11, team consist of 3 person (include me)
But we have problem with many .htm file from my 1st coworker, file not displaying in Topic List in my Robohelp and 2nd coworker.
Although we already get the latest file again and again
But .htm file displaying in all our RH11 folder.
In my 1st coworker RH, all file displaying in Topic List also RH11 folder, but when file generated then
Many files from 1st coworker, hyperlink is not working well (broken link / file not found)
Does anyone have experience about this problem
Thanks

First of all, make sure you do not have the following files in source control: .cpd, .pss, .ldb.
These files contain local information that can cause problems when in source control.
Then try this:
Everyone deletes the .cpd file.
Everyone gets the latest files for the whole project from source control.
Open the project.
Does everything now display correctly?
If yes, you need to make sure you delete the cpd file before opening the project each day, and also during the day if you know a co-worker has made changes that you need. This file is a database which includes a list of all the files Robohelp knows about. When other people are adding and removing files, this information no longer matches properly. I recommend doing a Get Latest in these situations as well, just to make sure Robohelp can find the correct information.
If you are still not seeing the correct files repeat the above process, but at step 2, pick the options to Overwrite local files. I can't say where you will see these options - they may be two checkboxes in a dialog box when you select Get Latest - it will depend on your source control application.
Hope this helps.

Files not displaying in list view?

I recently upgraded my MacPro (early 2008 8core) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Lion.
At first i wanted to do a fresh install on my machine but soon realised it wasnt possible to import old accounts from another internal drive so i opted to upgrade the system instead.
After doing so I was faced with an odd problem of files not displaying in my finder windows when switching through internal drives or changing from 'file view' to 'list view' or 'column view' etc...
The attached screenshots were taken in sequence youll also note that the path bar & top window name dont update either.
The relevant drives are in healthy condition with several tests run over them to ensure their healthy(Disk Utility & Drive Genius). I have also run permissions repair, and a utility to empty cahces etc (OnyX). From what i can see its possibly something to do with the Finder not updating or refreshing the window? The issue seems to be isolated to the drives however intermittently the problem exists deeper into the directory on 'TerraTank' Volume.
The finder also crashes semi-frequently and the problem seems to dispaear for a while and revealing the contents of these volumes for a few mins.
I have also checked activity monitor to see if any particular process was going haywire and all seemed relativly normal.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Regards,
JP

Onyx may be causing problems. Don't use it on a non-backed up system, as cleaning caches may damage them, and make things not work. Make sure your Spotlight indexes all drives you wish to be searchable. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight and add each hard drive to the Privacy section, and then remove it again. Then click on the Spotlight menu every half hour to see when it stops saying that it is indexing. It might take a few hours. But once done, it should be fixed.

Flash files not displaying in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Most recent Shockwave installed, private browsing active in Firefox? Works perfectly in Chrome and Internet Explorer. HELP!!!!

I suppose it would have helped if you knew what it was supposed to look like! I'm using Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.169 and the version of Firefox I'm on is 20.0
When you see it in Firefox - do the thumbnail populate the grid? See attached populated and un-populated.
Populated grid is with Chrome.
Thanks!
Thanks in advance!

.nef files not displayed in my content window!

Well, I'm afraid I'm not going to be a lot of help. From what I see, if everything is installed correctly it should be working. I know that there has been a few challenges associated with Vista, but I don't know enough about that aspect to really comment. I'm still using Windows XP.
As far as Camera Raw is concerned, there have been four updates since CS3 was released. If you haven't done any updates you are probably in for a pleasant surprise. New controls have been added that most people have found to be quite valuable. The most current version of Camera Raw is 4.3.1. The first thing I would suggest is for you to download that update and get it installed and see it that makes a difference.
I know you indicated that you don't want to have to do a lot of fine tuning of the program. But Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is updated frequently, and you always want to make sure you have the most current version. If the new version of ACR doesn't resolve your issues the problem "might" be related to Vista. And I'm afraid I cannot help you with that at all.

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.

.swf flash file not displayed in browser

We moved a site from a different machine to our osx server and now all .swf files show up empty in any browser
In the apache logs they seem to served. How do I solve this

We discovered that the windows ftp program used to upload the files messed them up. Probably transfer as text or something.

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
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.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

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.)
