SWF files not running from some lab computers

Hello,
Our Flash lab is experiencing strangeness on 8 of its 28 computers. When students create an animation and export it as an SWF file, the animation will not run. They can play the animation from within Flash itself (Enter cmd... watch the timeline progress)... but it just won't run as an SWF file.
SWF files that are created on any of the non-problematic computers will run on the problem computers, but not the other way around (problem computer> good computer).
I'm not familiar enough with Flash to troubleshoot this problem. I know that the entire lab was created from one image and all the computers are the same model Dell, running Creative Suite 4 Premium on XP Pro. It is becoming an issue for students as the lab is full and they are having trouble completing their assignments.
Does anyone have an idea of what's going on... or where to start looking?
Thanks,
Alan

Thanks for the reply Ned. I've checked and the lab is still at the same version. I did find that if we recreated the student's profile and they started out on one of the "good" computers that any future work on a "bad" computer would work.
I also narrowed it down to a 3D animation... not just any animation that wouldn't work. It seems like the program isn't loading up everything when a student starts Flash for the first time on one of the "bad" computers. Students that first start on a "good" computer can run 3D SWF files successfully on a "bad" computer.
Well, at least recreating the student profiles is a bandaide fix for now. But I'd like to figure out what went wrong with those 8 computers (I did reload CS on a couple of them... didn't help).

Network UNC paths and SWF files not running.

Flash Player wont run SWF files from a network unc path. A map drive works. How can I resolve this?
Our user profiles in window 7 are roaming and the my documents redirects using a unc path to the my documents area. When the swf file is run, you just get a white background in the player. The standalone player is version 8 . We also deploy the latest flash player plugin for ie9 browser (currently 11.3).
I have tried adding the unc path \\servername\pathname to a .cfg file in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\FlashPlayerTrust as described in the flash player administrator guide. This did not work.
I have also tried to update the global security settings panel with the unc paths required and copying the settings.sol file to users profiles but this has not made any difference.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks
Mark

Thanks for replying Jeromie.
After a bit of digging, I discovered that the problem was with the profile path for users. I am not sure why, but when the profile path contains the fully qualified domain name in it , flash player fails i.e \\server.domain.co.uk\sharename\flash.swf. when the path was changed to \\servername\sharename\file.swf , it worked.
I changed all the users profile paths and removed their appdata to and now all users can play flash files with the new profile path.
Regards
Mark

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software

Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.

download iTunes again from Apple.

If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.

ITunes can not run because some required files are missing.

I got a message that said something like "iTunes can not run because some required files are missing. reinstall itunes." I tried to reinstall iTunes but I kept getting that message. So, i uninstalled it, and tried to install it again. this did not work. I think that Quicktime is actually what is broken, because iTunes installs fine, but the Quicktime installation failed. When the installation failed, i got a message that said, "Installation failed: error code: -3"
I then tried installing Quicktime with the standalone installer. The installation got further, but it then failed as well, giving the error code -1603.
What can I do to get this reinstalled, and if you can't answer that, how can I contact Apple from Iraq? Thank you.

hmmm...that happened to me at one point to, and I'm trying to think back, I believe I was able to uninstall it by using the standalone installer.....
Try these steps and see if anything helps, and then in the troubleshooting section, look up the specific error number you are receiving...

SWF-file not getting info from UI

Hi All,
I have a dialog that loads a flash-file. This swf-file gets info from my dialog and puts it in a datagrid.
It works well, untill i try it the script on an other computer. The swf-file loads but is not receiving any information given through the UI.
Is it a matter of installing extra options/software on the other pc?
My computer (the script works) is a Windows XP with Adobe Design Premium.
The other computer is also a Windows XP with indesign and flash player installed.
Is there anyone who has an idea?
THANKS
Greetz,
Glen

Ok, i have the answer to my own question.
I forgot that i had to change the settings in the settings manager of the flash player.

How to schedule the Batch file to run from task scheduler

Hello Everyone,
I have a batch file which kills the wscript.exe process, I am doing this manually, I need to schedule this batch file to run from task scheduler whenever the process wscript.exe reaches to specific numbers, i.e if the wscript.exe process count in task
manager reaches to 30, the task schedular should execute this batch file,
Is there a way to do so.
dibu

Hi,
àI need to schedule
this batch file to run from task scheduler whenever the process wscript.exe reaches to specific numbers.
As I know, it will not help you to achieve this target via Scheduled Task. When configure Scheduled Task, there
seems no Trigger option that help you specify this condition (process counts reaches to specific numbers) to trigger the batch file.
You could consider that improve this batch file. Adding the
Check function to the script will be a better option. For script issue, you can post it in the
Official Scripting Guys Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

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.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.
