SWF not playing in "state"...?

I have a "state" setup as a screen saver screen in my catalyst project. Within that state I have one swf file. Basic logo with some images that are sliding in from the left. I created the swf in Flash Pro CS5 and the swf plays like it should when I open it by itself.
When I run my air program my idel time takes the user to my screen saver state and the swf appears but it is not playing.
I don't understand this.
I have made sure the swf in FC is not a button and is just the swf. I do not see an auto play or loop option.
Need some help.
Thank you.

I see this now. I forget that I need to tell catalyst to play the swf. I have inserted the play swf action into each possible interaction leading to the screen saver state.
It is working now.
Thank you much!!!

    I am receiving the error message 2148 on connection refresh.  Here is where I am at now with the work flow:
    1.  Published a swf that is connected via xml maps to a folder called call center on my server..  When I open the swf from that local location on the server it works perfectly(open from file not thru http).  Updates and functions on refresh.
    2.  Server is an application server running IIS.  Using Front page to publish files to local intranet web pages.  Import the swf to frontpage embed into index.html inside a flash movie player.  Save, when viewed thru Internet explorer the error comes up 2148. Accessed from the server thru HTTP or on the network can see the dashboard and functions after you click OK to turn error off, but when you refresh the connection the error comes back.
    3.  Have global settings to the rootwww folder as always allow.
    4.  Have a crossdomain policy file in the root directory rootwww saved as crossdomain.xml:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM

  • SWF not play

    Using Captivate 5, I create 2 projects. Project 1 was inserted into project 2 (as SWF)
    The inserted project does not playing beyond 22 slide. Does anyone have a solution?

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    Inserting a Captivate generated SWF into another Captivate file is not always a good idea. Could you explain the reason? Maybe we could find another solution for you.

  • SWF not playing correctly in Flash Player

    When I create a new SWF - only sometimes - the SWF shows (in
    Flash Player, Projector, Exe ONLY) up blank or missing quite a bit
    of the animation, buttons, etc. It plays fine when opened in the
    Flash application or as a "Test Movie" but not when opened directly
    from the Flash Player!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    could it be that you have multiple version of Flash program
    install and
    the one that is set to default is older one ?
    For instance, Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8 , authoring in flash
    8 but preview happen
    in MX 2004 ? this is my exact setting, for compatibility
    test. This would make
    new files fail to perform properly.

  • DVD will not play and states "supported disk not available" and makes a weird noise and then ejects the dvd

    My MacbookPro is only 5 months old and in really good condition. The only problem I am encountering is that when I insert any type of dvd disc, it starts to make this weird grinding noise that goes eeee-eeee, and then does that a couple of times and then the disc ejects on its own. When i try to play it with idvd, it does the same noise thing and then iDvd state "supported disk not available". The dvd does not even read on the computer.

    If only five months old it is still under warranty. Take it back.

    When HTML is in webroot and calls flash from
    Flash_video/Homepage/Scroll/
    the flash will appear is if it was in the webroot directory.
    It will always seek files it loads from HTML location, not
    it's original
    location.
    You must be mindful of that while authoring your movies and
    the paths need
    to be adjusted accordingly.
    In your case whatever flash loads it can no longer refer to
    it by file name
    but Flash_video/Homepage/Scroll/filename.swf

  • Embedded swf not playing in Captivate 4

    Hi - I have embedded a flash authored swf into CP4, it is published from flash as a ver 9 swf.  I am using Flash Player 10 on the PC. It's a single frame swf and contains AS3 code to make a simple rollover image popup (further development is planned but just testing for now).  It works when viewed standalone in a browser or with the flash player
    In CP4 when played by either previewing it or by publishing and viewing in a browser, the screen with that swf on it is a 'white screen of death'.  I have tried the following:
    1. clicking and unclicking synchronise with project
    2. click and unclick externalize animations check box in prefs - the swf file was also manually copied over to the publish directory
    3. set display for "duration of animation"..also tried 'rest of slide' and 'specific time'
    4. click and unclick - 'synchronise with project'
    5. Set Actionscript Version in prefs to "AS3"
    6. I placed another different swf (flash ver9) onto the following slide in CP4 - this one with no Actionscript content at all - just a simple timeline based motion tween.  It works!
    Does anyone know if CP4 cannot accept embedded swf's with Actionscript 3 code in them?

    Hi there
    Oftentimes the warning about referencing Root is simply a nuisance and may be totally ignored.
    I find that the animation works here on my own PC if I click Edit > Preferences... > Project node > Publish Settings node and configure for AS3.
    Perhaps try that?
    Cheers... Rick

  • SWF not playing in PDF

    Hello ,
    I am using FM11 with Windows 7.
    When I import a SWF in to Framemaker, it plays fine.
    When I print to PDF, the SWF just appears as an image.
    This is true if I Import By Reference or Copy Into Document.  The Embeded Adobe Flash files in PDF preference is checked.
    Any ideas?

    When you're printing to PDF, do you have the "Generate Acrobat Data" option enabled?
    FWIW, you should be using the Save As PDF option with FM11. It works quite well nowadays. Just ensure that the AdobePDF printer instance is your default when working with FM. The SetPrint utility from Sundorne ( http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm ) is quite handy for this.

    when you instantiate your sound, instead of using something like:

    use

  • Swf does not play in IE

    I have a client who wants his logo in flash.  I'm using swfobject to include the swf, but it does not play in IE8 unless I specify compatibility mode.
    The site is here...
         thefinancialtap.com
    What am I missing?

    I'd suggest you get rid of all the IE conditional statement stuff and only use the single <object>, IE will handle that just fine... with or without swfobject.
    <object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">

    According to your DOCTYPE this validation service agrees. Validate your page here:

    Notice what is says about the first (IE targeted) <object>.

  • Flash .exe or swf files will not play on Vista

    I decided to learn how to create captions for flash video,
    using CS3. I tested this project and it worked fine. I could just
    double-click on the app or the swf and the captioned video played
    fine on my Mac. I only had Flash (CS3) on my Mac, so I created the
    files there.
    I then published an exe to move over to my Vista machine.
    When I double-clicked on the file, it brought up Flash Media Player
    version 9, but only showed a blank white box. Very frustrating.
    After some research, I read that Windows Vista was not
    compatible with Flash Media Player 9. Only 10.02xxx or later (I
    forget the exact version - it was long) was supposed to work with
    Vista. Since CS3 uses version 9 to pack into the executable (PC) or
    app (Mac) projector files, I thought maybe this was the problem.
    So I downloaded the demo of Flash CS4, thinking this version
    would pack version 10 into the projector and this would solve my
    problem.
    While the CS3 version of my saved flash video project would
    open in Flash CS4, it would not play when I tested the movie inside
    Flash CS4. It would just show a skin at the bottom of the video
    player only (with a play/pause button), and it had moving blue bars
    on the skin like it couldn't really load either.
    I then decided to create the whole flash video with captions
    from scratch under Flash CS4. This time when I tested the movie in
    Vista, it worked fine. When I published either the projector exe or
    the html/swf combination, it worked fine. So proudly (and finally!)
    I sent the exe over to my boss. But..... you guessed it. The Flash
    Media Player 10 that started up when the file was double-clicked
    just showed a blank white screen again!
    So then I moved the exe over to another partition to test to
    see if there was some dependent directory pathway saved as part of
    the flash video file. The exe wouldn't play on the other partition!
    So I thought I was onto something. I then tried moving files that I
    thought the exe might be dependent on (although isn't the point of
    a projector to be stand alone?) to the same directory on this
    partition as the flash exe projector file.
    I ended up moving the captions.xml file, the swf files (flash
    video player skins included), and the html file that the swf file
    is supposed to be embedded in. NOTHING worked.
    I even read that someone with this problem saved his Flash
    CS4 file as a Flash CS3 file before he published it, and that
    worked for him. So I tried that too, but with no joy.
    So I am totally stumped. Does anyone out there have advice or
    even a solution?
    Much Thanks,
    Chuck

  • Swf file not playing in browser

    I have a problem with a swf file which will not play in web browser.
    It played fine until I updated my site. I therefore suspected a pathing issue within dreamweaver and looked thorugh that forum for an answer.
    I tried typing the absolute path to the swf file in the browser address bar and found it straight away. When I clicked on it the screen stayed blank.
    I checked the path to the file and the flv file was relative to the document and not the site.
    swf plays fine in flash player, flash, and locally on dreamweaver.
    I moved the swf up the file tree and changed the links accordingly but still would not play.
    I also tried saving it as a new swf from flash, but that doesn't play either.
    I added another swf to the containing folder and that played fine in the browser.
    When I open the fla file in flash it only shows a flv playback movie, not the elements, I think this is because it was created in after effects.
    Here is the link to the containing folder, the swf file is Home_page_movie_V2.swf
    http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01 Home
    I have other swf files playing fine and this swf played ok originally so I still think it's a pathing problem but I am not that savvy on flash and cannot figure it out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, just bear in mind my low level of ability.
    Thanks

    The .swf is loading just fine... but it is expecting to load a .flv video file.
    The path inside the .swf to the .flv file is not correct. The path inside the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the .swf as it's located on the Web page, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
    Here is the absolute address of the .flv:
    http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01%20Home/Home%20V1.flv
    Here is a test player using that address:
    http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/flash/cidm_simple_vid_player.html
    So unless your .swf is broken, it just a pathing issue.
    From an old post:
    Pathing issues
    Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
    You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
    Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location.  So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
    In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
    So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

  • SWF does not play after publish.... OS compatibility bug?

    I have embedded SWFs that will not play once the Presenter file is published.  They appear to be "frozen" on the first frame.
    Here's the setup:
    The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
    SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
    They are not Captivate files.
    PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
    Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
    Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    BUT, I can open the same file on another computer with this setup, and it publishes just fine.
    The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
    SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
    They are not Captivate files.
    PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
    Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
    Microsoft Windows Vista Business
    The only difference appears to be my OS.  Does anyone know of any bugs with Presenter in Windows 7?
    UPDATE:
    As I type this, literally, I got a notice that there's a Presenter 7.0.6 Update. So I went ahead and installed it on the Windows 7 box.  Republished the Presenter course, and wouldn't you know it... the SWFs are now playing!
    The patch says this: The Adobe® Presenter 7.0.6 update resolves Adobe Presenter's compatibility issues with PowerPoint 2010 and some important issues identified in Adobe Presenter 7.0.5 (Although the patch site doesn't bother providing us with a list of what those important issues are! Thanks Adobe, you rock.)
    --- Well, it fixes MY issue for Windows 7/Presenter 7/PowerPoint 2007 too.

    See the updated within the post. Installing the 7.0.6 patch was the fix.
