SWF plays fine on PC and iMac but not on MacBook?

I have created an swf file in Flash professional. It plays perfectly on a PC and on an iMac.
Unfortunately for some reason it has white horizontal flicker lines that flash up every now and then on the moving text when the swf file is played on my macbook and other friends have tested it on their macbooks and macbook pros and they too experience the problem.
I installed google chrome and it doesn't flicker as much as it does in safari and firefox.
A friend told me to convert my SWF file to html5... I didn't have much time to find out why as my friend is very busy but I did it and found the the animation now plays perfectly in google chrome on my MacBook but still not great in safari and firefox.
I'm guessing the problem is with the macbooks and not my animation if it plays find on a PC and iMac. But why is this happening?
I created the flash animation with ActionScript 3, Flash Player 10. Basically I used the default settings.
Could there be a conflict with the ActionScript or flash player I have made it with against my browsers?
I'm no tech wizard so don't know what I'm doing. All I do know is that I have a grumpy client with an unfinished animation so I'd love some help from someone.

Many thanks, kglad.
A couple of follow-up questions, if I may...
1. How do I let flash publish my html?
2. How can I get http://www.e-tutoringonline.org/file.php/1/info.txt to load?
Cheers,
David

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x. vista could see xp home share. ipod touch could see xp home share.
neither could see vista home share.
after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions. itunes was already in my vista exception list. on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
it worked for me, i hope this helps others

Contacts sync on iphone and ipad but not on Macbook

Hi guys, maybe someone can help me out wit this this problem.
I have the iPhone 4s, Ipad3 and a PC, iCloud was working operfectly bewteen all devices. I recentlky bought the new Macbook air and when I turned iCloud on all my contacts cam in automaticaly.
My surprise came later when I realized that not all contacts where in my Mac. I checked my iPhone and Ipad and all where there. I then checked iCloud.com and not all my contacts where there. So this is very strange. I cloud transferred the contacs bewteen my iphone and Ipad but not into iCloud.com and to my Mac.
I did a test with one of the contacts and deleted and create it again and then this was transferred to iCloud and to my Mac, but I really do not want to do this with all my contacts.
Anyone can help me out with this???
Thanks,
Michel

POP mail is not synced. POP mail is picked up individually by each email client. If you want to pick up less on one device than the other, set the one device you want to master the account with to delete mail from the server after you pick it up. That way, it would not be available to the other mail clients. Otherwise, you would need to delete whatever mail you do not want on the individual devices. You can also keep in on whatever devices you want and it will not affect the other devices.

Plays fine in IMOVIE and IDVD but disk doesn't play right in home DVD Playe

I created a movie in IMovie and it plays fine there. I converted it to IDVD and it plays fine there, but when I burn the actual DVD, it takes 12 hours! and then it won't play on my home DVD player. (It starts out fine, shows the menu and has the movie, but halfway through it freezes. Or if I try to fast forward to skip to the next chapter it freezes.
I tried upgrading my Superdrive to the new Pioneer 111D (it was suggested to me that my older 103 was not compatible with Panther) and still the same problem.
I am noticing now that when I go to check my system profiler, it's now saying for the new Pioneer 111D that "disc burning is NOT supported".
I'm in the midst of a project and feeling pretty screwed. HELP!

First of all, I'm appreciating all the responses and help. This is a serious concern for me which I need to find a solution for asap.
As far as the media itself... the discs are TDK DVD- and I've ruined about 4 or 5 of them... each having the same problem...taking 12 hours to burn they play for awhile on a commercial DVD player then freezes up about 2/3rds the way through (unless you try to scan through, in which case it freezes up on the spot.) There are a total of 3 scenes... and the 3rd scene doesn't happen at all in the final burned disc. So, J.Keller, as much as I'd love to blame the media I don't think I can. But it's certainly a reasonable explanation.
Karsten, I have to tell you the thought that it might actually take LONGER to butn this disc is painful. It's actually only 45 minutes or so of material. But if I knew that it would take 24 hours but it would work perfectly I'd go for it! I will download the patch you recommend to see if it offers a workaround solution.
But I'm still perplexed that in the SYSTEM PROFILER for the Pioneer 111D it says that "burning is NOT supported". Should I be concerned about this?
At this point I'll try just about anything. So if J Keller thinks that by waving a dead chicken over my head while singing dixie would help create a workable DVD so I can finish this project for my boss, I'd give it a try.
Any other thoughts? I really appreciating the insights and suggestions.

Avi files work fine on iMac but not new MacBook Pro

I've had an iMac for three years and recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I have a ton of .avi files (movies) on an external drive and have had no problem playing them on my iMac; however, I'm not able to play them on my MacBook Pro. I have installed Flip4Mac on my MacBook Pro but I'm still getting an error message saying "avi is not a format that can be played."
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Rendered clips play in After Effects and Premier, but not in Speedgrade

Hi,
I am very new to the world of Speedgrade, and have started running some tests, but hit a brick wall right at the get go. I have an After Effects project, that has a few layers, some are filmed footage, some are photoshop images etc. there are also a few plugins used (Lens Flare, Particulare etc). I render this comp out to two outputs, 1 - Quicktime JPEG2000 Intermediate (Highest quality settings) and 2 - Quicktime DNxHD Proxy (Lowest quality settings). I can import and play bot these exports in After effects and Premier, but when I take them to Speedgrade, I dont get playback.
Here are screenshots:
After Effects footage settings:
Visual of the smoke in After Effects of the imported render:
The same file imported into sSpeedGrade:
Is this something that can easily be explained?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Pierre Devereux

Hi Joost,
Thjank you for your feedback. I have submitted a bug-report as you suggested. I will find another workaround for now, probably doing most needed colour work in After Effects directly for now.
Thank you

Page will load on Imac but not on Macbook-both use Safari ?

There is a web page for a football comment that I can load using the iMac but when I try on the MacBook it flashes up-eventualyl-the address not found page.
Both use Safari and both have exactly the same preferences set, so what do I look at now ?
There must be something , somewhere ?????
Page is www.boyfrombrazil.co.uk
Cheers and thanks

I think you might have to reinstall Safari, may not be the only solution, but it's been on my mind.

Images with straight lines are distorting (round) on PSCC on iMAC but not on MacBook or second iMAC?

Images are distoring (rounding) on Photoshop CC on my iMAC but same NEF file on MacBook Air or our second IMac do not show distortion. On preview, the image appears normal. Is there a way to repair PS CC or does it need to be reloaded? How can it be repaired or reloaded.
Hard to find the right technical expert - chat isn't working
Thanks.

You have some lens correction enabled or a graphics hardware acceleration issue. nothing that a reinstall would fix. Since you haven't provided any relevant exact technical info, nobody can say more.

HT201335 AirPlay Mirroring is working from iPad and iPhone, but not from Macbook Pro. How to fix?

I can see and activate AirPlay Mirroring from Macbook but nothing displays on the TV when mirroring is activated (screen changes from Apple TV menu to blank screen only). I have 3rd generation Apple TV and a brand new Macbook Pro, so AirPlay Mirroring is supported by both devices. I can display video content on the TV from my MacBook from iTunes by selecting to display on Apple TV instead of my computer, but it does not work for mirroring.
For reference, when I activate AirPlay Mirroring from iPad or iPhone, it works perfectly and content is displayed on my TV.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

.mov file plays fine on friend's PC, but not mine

Hey, I have a .mov file that is a little over 1gb. It plays the first 4 seconds just fine, and then the picture pauses and the audio stops. The marker on the progress bar and the timer keep going like everything is normal. When I scrub through the timeline, it flashes between a blank green screen and the last frame where it froze.
I have Quicktime Pro and tried exporting is as a smaller file, but it still pauses and does the same thing 4 seconds in. Exported it as .avi, same exact thing.
So, I took it to a friend's PC which is running Windows 7 and it worked just as it should. I'm running XP Pro 64 on mine. I have plenty of hard drive space available and 2 gigs of RAM, so I don't see what's the problem.
I've read that Quicktime tends to have a problem with XP64, and that version 7.4.5 works the best, but after going back to that, it still does the exact same thing.
Does anyone have any thought on this? Thanks in advance!

raytw, I just tried opening it in Streamclip and clicked Fix Timecode Breaks, but it didn't seem to affect it at all. And at first I thought it may be a corrupted file, but then again, it DOES work fine on my friend's PC.
Kirk, I'm starting to think it may be my 64 bit OS as well. I tried changing the compatibility mode, but when I do so, Quicktime gives me an error saying, "QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later. Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for QuickTimePlayer.exe." and it won't open.

Looks like a mess of repeated background images to me.
To use a non-repeating background image, put the following CSS code between the
<style type="text/css"> and </style> tags in your HTML page.
body {
width: 1000px; /**choose your own page width in px**/
margin:0 auto;/**this centers page in modern browsers**/
text-align: center; /**this centers page in old browsers**/
background: red url(Images/Home-Page.png) no-repeat top middle;
Then remove the Home-Page.png background from your table.

Cisco Anytime Connect VPN working from iMac but not from MacBook Air with same settings and wifi network

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble connecting my new MacBook Air to Cisco Anytime Connect VPN.
The same configuration works with my iMac, in the same network and same Mac OS Mountain Lion on both computers.
After successfully connecting to VPN after a few seconds it gets disconnected and, what is worse, WIFI is not working any more in my macBook Air, I need to deactivate it and start again.
With iMac with the same settings it doesn't happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you power cycle the network? That's always the first thing you want to do if a device is "missing" or not connecting to your network correctly.
If you have not already tried this a few times, power down the entire network...all devices, order is not important.
Wait a few minutes and place the MBAir close to the TC
Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself. Then start the TC if it is the device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments. Then start each device one at a time the same way.
