Swf files won't display in Safari

My swf files won't display in Safari but they will work in IE. I'm using Dreamweaver 3 and Flash 4 to build the website and movies. See below.

A direct link to the site in question helps. Posting your code here isn't much help since the .swf file is stored on your server and can't be tested by the helpers here

  • SWF files won't display in Firefox 2.0

    Apologies in advance if this already has been covered.
    Couldn't find it via the search tool, and am desperately on a
    deadline:
    Using Flash 8, I created a very simple presentation. I
    embedded the SWF file in the HTML page. It works fine in IE, but I
    just get a blank, white box in Netscape and Firefox. Same goes for
    all my other SWF files that I've created using Flash 8.
    Two notes: I published the files as Flash 8 version, and I
    have ensured that the Flash 8, or higher, version of the browser
    player plugin is installed. I've also tried on machines inside, and
    outside, of firewalls.
    The problem page is at:
    http://nabj.org.
    Desperate to find a solution this morning.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

    check your html:
    <param name="movie" value="
    http://nabj.org/static/nabjHome/nabjHome.swf"
    /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param

    the value:
    value="

    doesn't match the embed src:

  • Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari.  I have Reader 9.4.5.  It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

    MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
    Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
    See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

  • Some PSD files won't display in Bridge

    Why is it that some PSD files won't display a visible thumbnail in Bridge?
    Don

    I tried Curt Young's suggestion in the Bridge forum:
    When in the folder with the problem click on Tools/cache/purge cache for folder xxx. The thumbnails will be then rebuild and see if that solves the problem. Let all the thumbs rebuild completely (spinning arrow on bottom left corner will stop) before carrying out any other operation. You may have a few corrupted files in the cache.
    It worked!

  • 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?

  • PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

    Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

    I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail.  None of them worked.  I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email.  I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app.  HELP!!

  • Favicon on MobileMe web site won't display with Safari - OK with Firefox

    I have a web site published to MobileME using iWeb - I have added a favicon and updated HTML accordingly. Now after trying every combination of code and searching the Safari, iWeb and MobileMe forums I cannot figure out why my favicon will not display using Safari but will with just about every other browser (Firefox, IE, Netscape are the ones I've tried on a Windows PC - also won't dispaly using Safari for Windows). Any ideas???
    I've put the favicon file in the web.me.com/pat.schafer/web/sites folder as well as the web.me.com/pat.schafer/web/sites/sitename folder and added the HTML ref code to every html file - I'm going crazy.

    Hi Certified - tried your tips to no avail. I'm beginning to think it's some interaction (bug??) when using a site published to MobileMe (and iWeb?) and Safari. Note I also tried using Windows Safari on a PC which had never viewed the site and it still showed the Apple favico but as previously stated Firefox, and IE on this PC did show my favicon. (I have not tried to load Firefox on my iMac but may try this as well.) I'd try the Apple Support Center but I don't hold up much hope of their being able to assist - I was at the Genius Bar yesterday in the Sydney shop on another matter (broken mouse) and asked about this favicon issue and was told it was beyond the scope of what they can assist with.
    Hello Old Toad - thanks anyway for the tip on the OVI slideshow - also thanks to your earlier tips on using OVI I did know about the trick of using a transparent shape but had got around to doing this - I'm still in the early stages of learning using iWeb ... the site in question is just a bit of a "sandbox". In fact I'm pretty much on my way to a bookshop to get a book an HTML and other web design technologies - clearly one must really understand the underlying technology to make these things work.

  • Flash file won't display

    Bear with me, I come from the GoLive world.
    Have a site recently converted to DW. Made an update to the
    home page that has a Flash file in it. DW asked me if I wanted to
    update code to make it IE safe. Now file does not display in Mac
    Safari or Firefox. Haven't turned on a Windows box yet to test
    there.
    It displays in preview, but not live.
    http://www.starmilling.com
    Flash file should be right above the Simplicity bag area.
    Any idea what happened? DW is hard enough to figure out
    without having this.
    If worse comes to worse, I can always copy the GL code for
    that flash file back in, but was hoping to fix it without
    that.

    If you had done what you needed to do from the start, you
    wouldn't have to
    do this at all. I'm just saying....

  • Embedded audio file won't play in Safari

    I'm trying to plan an embedded audio file in safari, but it just never loads. Similar files on the same page are marked 'Flash 9 is required to listen to audio' - I have listened to these files before without any problems.
    I have Flash 11.5 installed, have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash and all the fixes for when YouTube videos won't play in Safari but to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    You will really need to upload it if you want someone to help you troubleshoot the problem.  It could be any number of reasons.
    If and when you do upload, make sure that you upload the supporting folder that is created when you create a swf on a page.

  • IMac 2.66 Radeon HD 2600 Pro: some Excel files won't display in ppt decks

    Running Leopard 10.5.8 and MS Office 2004
    Two iMac (8.1) 2.66 GHz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video won't display some Excel files in PowerPoint decks, but iMac 1.83 GHz Core Duo will display o.k. as will MacBook Pro, MacBook, etc. Installing a trial version of Office 2008, both iMac 2.66 GHz display the PowerPoint files o.k.
    I could downgrade the users to Intel iMac 1.83 GHz, or buy two copies of Office 2008 and support them, neither of which is a great solution.
    Looking for a simple fix or workaround on what seems to be a video card issue. Don't seem to see this problem or a fix on the ATI site. I've googled this but haven't run into a similar issue.

    Well, Office 2008 is only $110 USD at http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2008-Home-Student/dp/B000X86ZAS/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1251560959&sr=8-1
    That seems the least expensive solution to me.

  • PDF files won't open in Safari

    I'm not sure when this happened but it seems recently...when I go to sites which have pdf files attached (e.g. Yamaha electonics/support/user manuals)the pdf files no longer load within Safari nor download to be opened in their own window. I have Adobe Reader 8.0 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0. Ho do I restore Safari's ablity to find the corrrect plug in and use it to open pdf files?
    Message was edited by: Merlin Macuser

    Open Adobe Reader, go to Preferences > Internet and disable the "Display PDF in browser using:" option, then quit; do the same for Acrobat Pro.
    Quit Safari if it's running. Then copy and paste this command into Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
    Press Enter or Return, then quit Terminal.
    Restart Safari and try loading a PDF file; it should work perfectly.

  • 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 file hangs in Firefox and Safari

    I'm having a problem viewing content with .swf files in Firefox. It's weird because it worked two days ago. I'm wondering if a Flash or Firefox update caused the problem.
    Here is a link to the site I'm trying to view.
    http://digitalperfection.info/woodsbros/7621sanmateo/
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much.
    Leona

    It hangs on my system too, so I'd say the problem is in the site or the swf, and definitely not in FF, Safari, or Flashplayer.
