SWF Movie Won't Load in Preview Mode?

Hey, I'm new to all of this, but when I put my .SWF movie into my website as an advertisment banner, but when I open it in preview mode, it just doesn't load. Why is this?
Here is the code for it (I think):
<tr>
    <td height="404" colspan="2"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" align="middle" id="FlashID">
      <param name="movie" value="../Ad Banner.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      
      
      <object data="../Ad Banner.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400" align="middle">
        
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
        </div>
        
      </object>
      
    </object></td>
</tr>
Any help or suggestions would be useful, as this is for my school coursework. Thanks in advance!

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?

Swf movie won't load in html page

I have a flash movie that loads another movie into a place holder container upon opening.
So, 2 swf files - one is the main movie and the other the one that loads into the main movie.
Works just fine when testing in flash or clicking on the swf files outside of flash.
But when I embedd the main movie into my html page - the main movie loads ok, but it doesn't load the child movie. I have both swf files in the directory so I am not getting why it works fine except when placing into html page.
Any thoughts on this without uploading the actual files or code for everything somewhere?
Thanks!

are all 3 files in the same directory?
if not, you probably have a path error in your loading code. (the path is relative to the embedding html's location.)
if yes, you probably have incorrect/incomplete embedding code. (to test, use the html file generated by flash without editing.)

Video won't play in preview mode. Any ideas?

Hello everyone.
Wondering if anyone can help me with a little issue I'm having with Final Cut Pro.
For some reason, video playback won't work in preview mode (apple+F12). It just pauses, but the audio plays. I've checked that the Video Playback is set to Digital Cinema and that I select All Frames in External playback, but it still remains looking like a still frame - with the audio. However, the footage plays fine in the canvas window.
Any clues on what the issue could be?
Just so you know, I'm using a Lumix GH3 camera, with no firewire. I have to import the .mst files into iMovie, with USB, and export them into .movs to get them to work in Final Cut. If anyone knows of a much simpler way to do this then that would be a great help.
Could that affect the playback?
Thanks in advance.

there's probably your problem. Although fcp will allow you to import h264 quicktimes, it's not a compatible format. Use compressor to convert to prores422. Post back if you need any further help with this.

any advice?

3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD.
Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
I think this is possibly linear. Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't. I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size. If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options. You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

My file .mov won't load (or) play when put on the server ?

My file .mov won't load (or) play when put on the server ? Yet it works fine in my local network.
The source in DW is = vid.jpeg and the link = vid.mov
I opened the movie in QuickTime player and save it for the web. I pasted what was required...
Can someone help me with this one ?

Could be any number of things. We would need a link to the actual on-line page to diagnose further.

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?

Captivate 5 Movie won't load in any browser

Suddenly my Captivate version 5 movies will not load in any Browser.
I have 4 files
the html file, the swf file, the swf skin file, and file called standard
The .swf file will open in Flash but when I open the html file it will not open the movie. I don't know what has happened but it used to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Leona

I found the answer to why my movie wouldn't play after publising.
Some smart user named nsukumar stated that if you used text animations it causes problems.
Sure enough, when I removed the text animation the finished results worked perfectly!
Thank you nsukumar where ever you are!

Swf movie won't open in dreamweaver

I created a flv movie in Flash from a avi file, which I then
exported as a swf movie. The swf movie plays fine in Flash
(file>publish preview), but when I place it into an html page in
Dreamweaver the flash icon ( f ) displays on the html page but if I
try to play the movie in Dreamweaver or open it in a test browser
all I get is a white box where the movie should be playing.
ps I can open swf images (Flash>file>export>export
images) in Dreamweaver ok, but not movies.
I need some help please!
Thanks

FTP it and include dependent files. Make sure the Scripts
folder and script
are on the server.

Movies won't load.

The movies have been on my itouch before.I just updated it,and now it won't load some of my movies.My setting are ok.Any thoughts?

I don't think this is a WIndows OR Mac issue. It's in both. My iPod Touch has had problems with videos and movies from the start.
My solution to this was to create smart-Play-lists:
Music Videos is like this:
Match ALL, Media Kind-Is-Music Video
the only way I could get the music videos to show up. the TV shows, and iTunes movies show up just fine.
I still have an problem with movies I didn't download from iTunes.
I think this changed in the last update. Before, I had no problem with non-iTunes movies. Now... I do.
Another problem is that (according to the iPod the movie IS TAKING UP SPACE).
When I load into the Status page on iTuness, it shows the Purple bar as long. When it starts to update, it drops down. I guess it realizes it not really there, but when it finishes, it jumps back up again. If I unclick the movie to be added, then the bar stays short.
SOLUTION:
at least kind of.
I now have to open QuickTime Pro, and Export the Movie to an iPhone format.+(even if the movie is already an m4v,mov, or mp4)+
This will 100% of the time get the movie to transfer. This *****, because I can no longer just grab movies I want to watch, and GO. I have to think about what movie I want to watch way in advance, and convert them. This also gives me TWO COPIES of every Movie.
Stupid.

Movies won't load onto new Touch

Made a "home movie" in iMovie and moved it over to iTunes. Works fine there. Son wants to put it on his new Touch and when I go to move it it gives error message and says movie won't play on this iPod. ??? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help, someday we'll get this and not have to ask a billion questions.

select the file in iTunes. from the advanced menu choose to +create iPod or iPhone version+. try syncing the newly created file to the device.
any help ?

HT1657 Movies will not load in airplane mode, how do I get them to load off line

How do I load movies so they will play in airplane mode? I get a message that says could not load movies. In the past I have not had this problem.

AcroForms does not allow the expansion in the way that you want. That was an option with the expandable fields in Designer, but Designer is no longer packaged with Acrobat. You might check the options at forms central -- I am not sure of the options there.
Another thought is you might select to use adjustable text size so that all the text appears in the window. When you get the form/data and export the data, your database or other export tool should not care about the text size in the form.

Quicktime Dance movies won't load correctly - here is a link - please help

Hello,
Finally got the project to this point . . .
I could not figure out the html ActiveXcoding Apple recommended in for our QT movies, so I hired a guy to code it for me - but the movies will not play (for me)
correctly . . . . he says they play fine on his end.
First - it Automatically starts playing - and I don't want it to - he says he doesn't know how to stop it. Could someone please explain how to stop it from Autoplaying?
The movie loads and plays with HORRIBLE flickering, and when it's done playing - it makes the page RE-LOAD with just the movie, no navigation, no nothing.
I've only loaded the "real-time", and "Slow-Motion" videos on numbers 11, and 16.
Here is a link to the Index page - click on the "Play" links for Real time and
slow motion, and can go "next" to advance to next move number 16:
http://videodance.com/freevideos/freedance_moves/011/sidx011.html
(this index page doesn't have the Flash engine ready yet - that's the black
square on the page)
You will notice that on both of the .html pages (for real-time and slow-motion)
that one of the files it points to is called "AC_RunActiveContent2.js" - this
2 was added at the end because I didn't want it to conflict with the Flash developers "AC_RunActiveContent.js" page he uses (in case there were differences in coding)
I've spent HOURS & HOURS trying to figure it out . . . I admit to not being as smart as you all, that's why I hired him . . . now what can I do?
Please, if you will and have the chance - check out the pages and movies - and see if you have any suggestions on why it is messing up bad.
(I'm using a Macintosh = firefox 2.0.16, and Safari 3.0.4) He is on windows (both firefox and Safari - says they play fine)
How do the deliver for you . . . anyone with Windows please check them out if
you will.
Really appreciate any help or direction you may offer!
Kind regards,
Luke Wonderly

Sloppy html coding in the page:
<embed src="011s.mov" width="640" height="496"> is the only thing that points to your file and it is very out of date.
Basic issues is that it will not even work with Internet Explorer because it give no instructions for the QuickTime browser plug-in.
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html for proper code that works with every Web browser. autoplay="false" would require the page visitor to click the "play" button. Removing the "href" link to the source file would stop a click from loading the file in its own window.

Movies won't load onto iTunes! Please help me, desperately seeking advice

Hey all.
I just bought a new macbook and new 60g iPod and can't watch movies on my pod.
I try to move them into iTunes and nothing happens, won't drag and drop, won't work if I try import or try to crtl click open with. Just zero happens. I have also tried converting them with iSquint into ipod compatible movies and still nothing. They just won't go anywhere near iTunes. It simply acts as though nothing has happened.
However, my friend was able to put videos onto my ipod from his old iBook.
So frustrating, i bought this new computer so things would work properly and so far not so good.
I have iTunes 7.0.1 and current ipod updater installed on iTunes
Could someone please help me before I tear my hair out!!

What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

Movie won't load into itunes

Coverted a movie to .mv4 using Handbrake - as i have done successfully before but this time
when I ask to add the movie to itunes (menu) or drag/drop from the finder into the itunes window
itunes simply ignores the request - no error message it just doesn't pick it up.
Similarly, if i double click the movie to play in itunes it is just ignored.
It will pick up and play in Quicktime.
If i click on itunes from the Quicktime menu (share - itunes) it gives 3 options: iphone, apple TV, and Computer
Computer is not available (not sure if this is relevant as it's already on my computer so probably that's all its telling me)
The only thing I did different with Handbrake was to select High rather than Normal quality
- but the file is only 3GB so not excessive for a movie
Can't think of anything else to add - running itunes 10 with latest updates installed.
Any suggestion with where i should go next?
Cheers....

3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD.
Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
I think this is possibly linear. Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't. I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.

Movie won't load to iPod

I have converted many of my DVD's using Handbrake and put them on iTunes and my iPod. The last movie I converted will play on iTunes, but will not load onto my iPod. I have my preferences set to put all movies on my iPod. In the iPod Update summary/movies it doesn't even list the movie, if I were to select the option to only upload selected movies.
The only difference between this new movie and all the others is that this is the first movie I've converted and tried to upload to my iPod since upgrading to Leopard.

wrong thread sorry
