SWF in Dreamweaver doc just shows a white box. Won't display in browser.

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.

Please post this in the Dreamweaver forum:

Creative Cloud App just showing blank white box! Cannot install Photoshop

I'm trying to install a Photoshop trial - have followed instructions to install the CC app. The icon appears on my desktop and a Creative Cloud folder appears in my Explorer folder but when I click on the CC app, all I see is a white box.
Occasionally, I have managed to get list of apps to show - but when I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, again it goes to a blank white box. Can't do anything! No spinning icon showing that something is loading - just blank white.
Very frustrating. Just want to download the trial so I can decide if I want to buy. Am on Windows 8 (64 bit). Have tried uninstalling and re-installing using a different browser (Firefox & Chrome) but still same result.
Please help!!
Thank you,

Hi again Jeff - I just read on a similar thread that another user had the same issue with blank CC app and realised the problem was her username having an ampersand "&"
I have an ampersand also in my username on the computer - do you think this might be affecting the issue?
She gave instructions for changing the username (although the link is for Win 7 and I'm using Win 8) - but I'm nervous about changing big system things like that. What happens to "permissions" on certain folders - am I likely to be locked out of making changes in certain folders?
Here is what she wrote on that thread:
If you have ampersand (&) or other non-alphabet characters in windows user folder name (Example: C:\Users\Bob & Mary), then Flash Builder will fail to install (happened to me), Creative Cloud will display white screen, and/or other miscellaneous problems.
I confirmed this to be true and works:
1) I had blank Creative Cloud window as shown in the first post.
2) I renamed the display username and window user folder name by doing the instructions here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/28/how-to-change-a-windows-account-name-and-user-profile-fol der-name/
(Example: Change from "Bob & Mary" to "Bob n Mary" - without the quotes)
3) After logging back in my newly renamed account, I opened Creative Cloud and login interface shows up! :-)
I would prefer not to do this if you have another suggestion? But just thought I'd mention this as well to see what you thought.
I have also since tried uninstally CC, deleting both the OOBE folder and the AAMUpdater folder, then re-installing CC again... same result. I always get to the list of Apps fine but the minute I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, the whole App window goes to a blank white screen and freezes.
Thank you.

Love App Tabs but have several that just show a white page as icon how do I get them to appear as a site logo?

I love the new App Tabs but have several that when pinned just show a white page as the icon, so you have to mouse over them to figure out which one is which. Example is bankdirect.co.nz. Is there a way of getting the site logo to show up so you can see what is what at a glance but still have the nifty space saving size of the App Tab? Thanks!

SergZak
Thanks for that. I have to say that there were a couple of screens that appeared to show both the iPhone and iPad and it was the iPad that was showing the icon!
It is not life threatening, I just thought that something had not installed as it should have.

Thanks for your comment.

I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

My Macbook doesn't turn on, it just show a white screen and after a while a question mark blink, I cannot click the question mark, and cannot do anything. Any suggestions?

Hi, my Macbook doesn't turn on, it just show a white screen and after a while a big question mark blinks but nothing else, cannot click the question mark, cannot do anything.Also it makes a funny noise. Any suggestions?

Suppose it's a HDD crash. Boot from Install DVD which came with your MacBook(Press C during startup) and open DiskUtility to repair your HDD if it's able to mount.

Pictures Showing as White Boxes

I upgraded from an iPhone 5c to an iPhone 6. On December 22nd when I restored my phone from my iCloud backup all of my photos showed up as white boxes. Since then some have shown up but most of them are still showing up as white boxes. It says downloading below my albums. When I click on the photos that show as white boxes it says "loading" but then goes right back to being blank. It has been like this for over a week & it is starting to become extremely annoying. Some of my most important photos are showing up as white. Any ideas or solutions? Someone please help!

Wait until the restore from backup finishes, connect to wifi and plug it to a wall outlet and let it finish.

How are you trying?

Videos do not go into Photo Stream.
You can add them to a Shared Photo Stream.

White box? SWF shows as white box in Dreamweaver

The SWF starts animating, but a white box will show for a

on /portfolio and its lower levels the buttons showup but the

FTP it and include dependent files. Make sure the Scripts

Flash movie just has a white box when previewed

Working in Flash CS4
My question is when I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website. Files are available here to view

Hi,
I have taken a look at your .fla and seems your source file name is not matching with what is available(Bob_Dickson.f4v) & what is specified(Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v) in the Component Inspector panel. Either rename your movie from "Bob_Dickson.f4v" to "Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v" probably the easiest way or change the Source name for your flv playback component in Component Inspector panel to "Bob_Dickson.f4v" and re-publish the swf.
Hope this helps
Thanks!
ps: pls mark this post as Answered if it was helpful to you

Spry menu problem in IE- showing as white box

Help please. My spry menus are showing as a white box in Internet Explorer. All other browsers are fine. I am a newbie and don't know how to fix the problem. http://harmonized.harmonized-design.com.

I recreated your web page and it's working for me:
http://www.elanwebservices.com/example/index.htm
If you look at page in IE8, I think you will see your navigation links without the white block. I just looked at your page again and I am still seeing the navigation ID. You try detaching your template from the page. I think DW templates are a bad idea; they cause all kinds of problems.
If my link works and yours doesn't, compare the code.

DW4: FLV Video Showing as White Box

I am trying to read through all the past posts, but need to get this out to a client quickly and haven't yet found an answer to my issue.
I had an .mp4 file that I converted to .flv using Media Encoder. I inserted the .flv file per instructions. I now have the .flv file , along with the clear_skin_1.swf file and the flvplayer_progressive.swf file in one folder. The expressinstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js files are in the scripts folder. I have loaded them both to my server. Upon viewing in browser, all I get is just the white box.

Could really use the hold on this. Oh! and just ignore the video underneath...it is a placeholder and altogether different.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Here we go again!!!!!
White box! Happened when I switched out the video and I can't seem to catch what is causing the issue. Help! I feel so weak ;-(

Restore pictures show as white boxes

I recently switched from an iPhone 5s to an iPhone 6. When I chose to restore from iCloud half of my photos now show up as white boxes, when I click them all it says it loading, then it goes back to plain white. What do I do?

Wait until the restore from backup finishes, connect to wifi and plug it to a wall outlet and let it finish.

SWF in Dreamweaver doc just shows a white box. Won't display in browser.
