Swf gallery (Actionscript 3) won't play in Safari or IE, only FireFox

I have a flash gallery I created using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3. It plays perfectly in FireFox, but in IE and Safari it just shows me a blank space on the page where the gallery should be. As a test I uninstalled Flash Player, and FireFox and Safari showed me the message that a newer version of Flash was needed along with a link to get it, but IE showed nothing. Now that Flash is re-installed, only FireFox actually loads/plays the gallery. With IE it doesn' tmatter if I use the 32-bit or 64-bit, or if compatibility mode is on or off. I tried republishing with Flash 9 set instead of Flash 10, but that made no difference. It fails with the HTML file generated out of Flash, as well as the page I created in Dreamweaver and used the Insert Media command to insert the .swf:
http://www.arttoharmony.com/sales/Art-To-Harmony-Gallery.html (auto-generated HTML out of Flash)
http://www.arttoharmony.com/sales/index.php (Dreamweaver page)
I'm using all the latest browsers, Windows 7 (64-bit), Dreamweaver and Flash CS4. A couple of years ago when I had CS3, I created a similar gallery using Actionscript 2, and it continues to work fine in all 3 browsers:

I'd appreciate any ideas to get this working in Safari and IE (not only the gallery to load, but the Flash Player detection to work properly in IE). I'm a very infrequent Flash user, so I was hoping it was something obvious, but I can't find the problem.
thanks,
Luann

I just tried with IE and its working fine
even i use windows 7.
use 32bit IE and check if any other flash media (like youtube, etc.. ) is working fine on it?

IWeb audio won't play in Safari, but will in firefox

I made a website in iWeb '09 but when i visit the site in safari 4 a quicktime logo shows up where the audio (song) should be and doesn't play. But in firefox it works fine, anyone know what's up?

I had a similar problem, I'll tell you how I solved it. Understand that I am a newbie at video editing and Premiere Pro. I shot videos on a DSLR (.mov) and then transferred them to my computer. I then imported them into Premiere CS6. The videos played fine, and the sound bars indicated that audio was playing, but there was no sound. The clips I imported played fine in Windows Media Player. I did everything suggested on the forums, but to no avail. Then I thought of something no one else had suggested, and it worked!
I ordered my Rain Stratus computer already set up with Premiere CS6 installed. When I opened a new project, it by default chose Black Magic Design presets, since that is the video card I have. Being a newbie, I just went with that. But since the video I was importing was not captured by my Black Magic video card, it was the wrong choice. It took awhile to figure out, but I finally realized I needed to choose Digital SLR as the sequence preset when I created a new project. Then the audio worked!
One more thing I had to do, though, before it worked: in PremierePro, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. I had to change the hardware from Black Magic Audio to Premiere Pro WDM Sound, click ASIO settings, choose my speakers, and then check the box marked "device 32-bit playback" (even thought I have a 64-bit computer.)
I hope that helps someone else from going through the same frustration.

Movies in mobilme gallery won't play in safari on the ipad

The movies I have put on my MobilMe Gallery won't play in Safari on the iPad. The photo gallery works fine, but the movies gallery does not. I created the movies directly from within Quicktime (Share-> MobilMe gallery). Using Safari on my Mac everything works fine. It's only on the iPad that it fails!
What is the matter here? And how to solve this?

Yes, same thing here. I received an email on my iPad with a direct link to a MobileMe gallery movie page. Click on the link and Safari opens just fine, and shows the first image of movie and the text, but no spinning, never loads, can't play.
I know you're supposed to use the MM Gallery app... but... what about those iPad users who don't have MobileMe, but are just redirected by an email link - they could download it, but wouldn't know that.

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.

Movie won't play in Safari in 10.6, will in FireFox and earlier Mac OS

I am updating some web pages and I discovered that on my system running 10.6 a QuickTime movie embedded into the page won't play in Safari. The movie plays if the movie's URL is entered, but it won't play in the page, though another movie on another page plays fine. On the same computer the problem movie page works fine in FireFox.
The HTML is simple...
<embed src="Round-Robin-224px_200kbs.mov" width="224" height="235" autostart="true" loop="true" controller="false" id="looper" name="looper"></embed>
The web address of this page is http://www.automaticduck.com/products/
Any suggestions for getting this movie to play in the page in Safari?

The file was made in 2003 (back when QuickTime Player supported Flash tracks).
Since QuickTime 7.3.1 support for .swf tracks has been dropped do to security concerns.
The file will not play in QuickTime X or QuickTime Player 7.3.1, or higher. I viewed it on my Snow Leopard machine using an older copy of QuickTime 6.5.2 (and Rosseta).

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

Try deleting Flash cookies.

If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

Then restart your Mac.

Here's some more info.
I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
Any thoughts?

Flv won't play in safari or opera???

I am trying to add a video to this site:
http://www.ld-ink.com/Millennium/index.html
The video plays in Firefox, IE, and Google Chrome.
It does not play for me in Safari of Opera.
Can anyone give me some assistance as to why this is happening? When I preview the page from Dreamweaver in Safari or Opera, it works. When I load it up on the server, and check it on the web in those browsers, it doesn't.
HELP!
(PS - there is no sound with this video).
Thanks,
PT

I searched what that was - and the answer is no. I added the video file as follows: Insert>Media>FLV>browse, etc... used the first skin they gave me.
I have no idea why those two browsers won;t play it, but they don't. I even installed safari on my pc , and it doesn't work, so it's not an issue with my Mac.

HTML5 Video won't play in Safari, when frameset used

I'm the Product Manager for a company who has a product that revolves around video. We've noticed that while we can get the HTML5 video capability in Safari on the iPad working fine in a test harness, as soon as we place that harness in the simplest of framesets (with the video area clearly visible), the video's "play" command no longer works. Oddly enough, the video object's properties can be read/written, but it appears that the "play" function itself does not work (and presumably the pause and load functions). The frustrating thing is that the video does appear to be loading - if you change currentTime to a different position, you can see the video frame at that position. The media just won't play.

...also, when I use the video's tags "controls" (shows player controls within the embed), Play/Pause DOES work. So, it appears to be a bug with the scripting layer.

Quick time won't play in safari

Quick Time Player won't open in Safari 6.0.

I found a workaround - You have to restart Safari in 32 bit mode. It will play QT files. Of course this just means that it may make it unstable, but where were we before 64 bit anyway.
I think those Apple nerds should get this sorted out - its been several years since people have posted the same problem, and I am not sure what motivates them, but it would help to get someone to explain the process or at least find a solution.

IWeb Published Quicktime Movie Won't Play in Safari. Only Quicktime Logo Shows.

I created a movie using iMovie and, after publishing my movie, using iWeb, to my MobileMe account, I visit the site using Safari, and can only see the Quicktime logo instead of my movie. When I use Firefox to view the page I created, it shows fine. I'm all up to date on my software and OS.
Any help you can offer me? It seems like all the Apple pieces aren't working well together.
All my other published movies still work fine. It's just this most recently-published one that won't show correctly.

Hello to you all.
Translation excuse my English, I unfortunately can not do better. I have the same problem as you, I created a site for our travels in Brazil and I put videos on a page:
http://marc.rollmann.free.fr/marc.rollmann3/Cinema-Tropical.html
Avenida jazz, Jazz avenida2 and Muritiba.
They are compressed in H.264 .mov. Only one works well on my macbook leopard snow and air ipad ios8. The two other Jazz and Jazz2 run on iPad but not macbook. Sometimes I succeeded, but this is very rare. Can anyone tell me please what I should do or not do?
Thank you to you.
ps i have clear safari cache

Quicktime won't play on Safari on Apple Troubleshoot page. Firefox OK.

When I go here on Safari:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/
I do not get a Quicktime Logo. When I go there on FIrefox, I get the logo. I can play the Apple trailers on Safari. I have a problem with some streaming (RTSP) sites elsewhere (on safari not firefox).
I am on 10.6.2 with ALL updates. Safari is 4.0.4 (6531.21.10). Firefox is 3.5.8. I am on a MacPro4,1.
SL won't let me install QT7.
Any ideas on how to debug this?

I reinstalled QT7 from the install disk and rebooted but the problem still occurs.
Above response was to get QT 7 to install -- not to fix QT RTSP which, in my opinion is non-functional at this time under Snow Leopard. Basically, the "logo" you see on the "Troubleshooting" test page is just the animated "buffering" logo. If you want to see what the real spiraling "animated logo" looks like, then view the same test page under Tiger or Leopard OS.
About the only other thing you can currently do is reset the RTSP "transport" settings but this did not fix things on my system:
If you're using QuickTime X on Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
1. Quit QuickTime Player if it's running. Open the Terminal application which is located in the Utilities folder.
2. Cut and paste the following command into the command prompt and press the Return key:  qtdefaults reset TransportSettings
3. You should see the following message displayed in the Terminal window: "Quicktime has been configured to automatically determine the best protocol and port for streaming."
4. Quit the Terminal application.

Non-flash youtube videos won't play on safari

Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
The page loads, the screen is blank with the "Play" arrow button in the middle but then the video won't start/load/play. If I navigate away from the page, it will briefly show the first frame and then it disappears again. These are videos that were working absolutely fine up to last night with iOS 5. I have since done hard reset and installed iOS 5.0.1 but no luck. Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks in advance

Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
Swipe left on your Home screen then type: Youtube in the search field.
The app looks like this > It comes pre installed on the iPad so there's no way to delete it.

My Dreamweaver website movies won't play in Safari

I have made my own very simple website in Dreamweaver. I have a showreel page where files that I made in imovie I then export or 'share' and then place in Dreamweaver as 'Shockwave media' - embedded in the page. When you visit the page a quicktime icon appears briefly and then a player window appears and the movies play automatically with the scroll bar and pause button in view.
This site is as smooth as silk in Firefox 1.5.0.8, Internet Explorer 5.2.3, Netscape Navigator 7.2 and Opera 6.0.3.
My friends using Safari are also not able to view the movies- what we see online is just a static Macromedia Shockwave icon.
My one breakthrough is that if I put the full path to these .mov files in the file name box in Dreamweaver (ie HD/folder/next folder/filename and extension) (rather than folder/filename and extension) you can view the movie by clicking on the Shockwave icon and another window will open and show just the movie with none of page information. This however messes up the view in all of the other browsers too as they do the same. So it is as if Safari cannot find the file in my website folder, but all of the other browsers have no problem.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Any chance you can post a link to the website so people can see the code? I'm no expert by any means but many people browsing here are and may be able to see what the issue is.
