SWF plays in preview but not when published

I have seen similar issues posted but none dealing with this
precise problem. I have two SWFs, one of which loads at the end of
the other. When SWF 1 is played back in Flash or when published in
HTML format, SWF2 plays as is should. When SWF is exported to
another program (e.g. Frontpage or Ektron, CMS), SWF2 will not
play. Interestingly, when SWF2 is exported to the other program on
its own, it plays fine so font support is not an issue.
I have also tried altering the level in the LoadMovieNum
script (0, 1, 2) as well as republishing both SWFs from the
original FLA file. So far zippo.
Any ideas??

At least on my side it only plays the first video and does not progress. There are twenty-five videos after this, they are all very short but they progress. Is this progressing for you? Perhaps it is my computer if so. Please let me know.
Thanks again,
Mark.

Load swf works in Publish Preview but not when published

Hi Folks,
I having a problem where im trying to load two 1mb SWF movies into my Flash piece. It works fine in Publish Preview but not when I finally publish. I get this error in IE:
SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
I have googled around and there is some talk online of a hack where by you get a timeout to overcome this. However im not so technical do I dont really know how to do this to my code in AS3. My code at the moment is below.
Any help would be much appreciated and rewarded with Karma
movieClip_12.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9);
var fl_Loader_9:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad_9:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9(event:MouseEvent):void
if(fl_ToLoad_9)
fl_Loader_9 = new Loader();
fl_Loader_9.load(new URLRequest("search.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader_9);
else
fl_Loader_9.unload();
removeChild(fl_Loader_9);
fl_Loader_9 = null;
// Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
fl_ToLoad_9 = !fl_ToLoad_9;
movieClip_14.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_10);
var fl_Loader_10:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad_10:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_10(event:MouseEvent):void
if(fl_ToLoad_10)
fl_Loader_10 = new Loader();
fl_Loader_10.load(new URLRequest("refunds.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader_10);
else
fl_Loader_10.unload();
removeChild(fl_Loader_10);
fl_Loader_10 = null;
// Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
fl_ToLoad_10 = !fl_ToLoad_10;

I think this is either a problem with my site preLoader or my external .swf Loader. I was checking out the bandwith profiler and saw something weird and I wondered if anyone could explain...I've added a picture. I have a blank frame on only my actions layer to export classes to and it seems that frame 2 is "bleeding" into frame 1. Could this be my problem? Why would this happen? Thanks

Works in preview but not when published in captivate 8?

My youtube widget used in captivate 8 works just fine in the preview, but when published there's nothing where the video should be, any idea as to why?

Hi Robert,
as far as I understand your post, you are missing some kind of "button-artwork" in the published file, but do not report a problem with the "action" that the script should perform.
My guess would be that it will be hard to help you without having a better understanding what your trying to achive and how (are you using a prebuilt component, or did you build the button fron scratch etc....)
It might be even necessary to have a look at the fla itself.

PayPal button action works in preview but not when published

Hi!
Any thoughts as to why this works correctly in CS5 publish preview but when I publish it I either get no action or (XP comupter) or a blank page (vista). Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated. Also, I'm new to flash and here's the button action:
on (release) {
        //create the LoadVars that will hold our paypal information
        var paypal = new LoadVars();
        //specify the business, amount of the item, shipping, etc.
        paypal.cmd="_xclick";
        paypal.upload="1";
      paypal.business="[email protected]";
        paypal.currency_code="USD";
        paypal.amount="275.00";
        //paypal.handling = "0";
        //paypal.no_shipping = "0";
        paypal.item_name="One Session";
        //added
        //paypal.lc="GB";
        paypal.bn="PP-BuyNowBF";
        //paypal.no_note="1";
        //send our information to PayPal, including all the optional variables we have collected from customer
         paypal.send("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr","_blank","POST");
Thanks!

Menu audio will play during preview but not when disc is burned.

Encore CS6.
Menu music plays fine in preview. I know that the file is good. No menu audio after disc is burned. Have tried several different transcoding options. There is menu video too that is working fine.

Here are notes I couldn't find before I posted that; just general re testing methods:
Mounting an iso (or building to a folder) is a great way to test. There are some differences, but it is a great method prior to burning to a disk. The main difference is simply computer vs dvd player - autoactivate on a button doesn't work with a mouseover, and you can be fooled into thinking your navigation does, or does not, work. (Even on the computer, don't use the mouse for testing, use the "remote" in the player controls.)
Encore preview is an emulator, like computer DVD players, that attempts to predict what will happen when a disk is played on a set top DVD player. It has always had issues with some predictions not being accurate. Some inaccuracies are like this one: Encore preview does not work, and a burned disk will. Others are the opposite; it works in Encore preview, and not in a DVD player. The point to be made here is that you cannot rely on Encore preview. You also cannot rely on computer playback of a built image or folder. And, in the end, you cannot rely on playback on one DVD player - some disks work on some players and not on others.

Images enlarge and movies play in iweb, but not when published

Everything works fine in the program, but when published to site or folder, photos are there, but won't enlarge. The movie thumbnail shows with the little movie icon in the corner, but clicking does nothing.

On all of your pages you have an image that appears to cover the photos preventing them from being clicked on.
Move it to the back via the Arrange menu or get rid of it.
How did you add the videos to the page? If you just dragged them onto the page or used the movie page then iWeb will have to upload them when it publishes the page and all will load when the page is accessed which can cause long loading time for the page.
Also thre are some files missing for the TV page as seen in the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page. Publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open it there. Check to see if the movies play OK (after you fix that overlaying image issue). If they do then the problem lies in the uploading of the files.
If those files are Quicktime then the viewers must have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to view them. See this page on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site for methods of presenting movies that will let all computers view them: Player-Showcase.html. See the list at the right for different players you can use.

SWF plays in preview but not in browser

The code posted above is not the code used on that page:
Above shows:

and
data="Logos.swf
while code on page has this path to the .swf:
<param name="movie" value="../raw images/flash/Logos.swf">
and
data="../raw images/flash/Logos.swf"
see the diff?
And as Martin pointed out, the path to the express install (which can install the flash pluggin) is most like wrong also. But, you really don't even need to use that. But you do need to get the path to Logos.swf right.
http://e-supplylink.com/Logos.swf
is the correct path by the way (the code you posted above...Not what's on the site).

Plays in preview but not when posted on internet CS4

Hello,
I created a quiz that has several small video in AS2. It works fine when I preview it, but when I post in on the internet it plays the first video and goes to a black screen. I created the page and clicked to publish it. I then exported the swf by hitting file/export/export movie then saved this and posted it to the internet. This is how I have done it in the past, but now I get a blank screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Mark.

At least on my side it only plays the first video and does not progress. There are twenty-five videos after this, they are all very short but they progress. Is this progressing for you? Perhaps it is my computer if so. Please let me know.
Thanks again,
Mark.

Masking works in preview but not when published

I am dynamically loading higher-res images into a movie clip
that
correspond to the place in a 360 degree rotation the main
clip is at,
then resizing that movie clip to "zoom" the image. Since I
don't want
to overflow the whole screen, I've created another movie clip
that
masks the loader movie clip.
When I preview the flash file, it works perfectly. When I
publish the
file, the mask doesn't get applied. Thoughts?
zoom_btn.onPress = function(){
if(iszoomed == false){
loadMovie("zoomimages/" + Math.floor((_currentframe-4)/3) +
"big.jpg", image_mc);
stop();
zoom_btn.onRelease = function(){
if(iszoomed == false){
Loading progress loop begins, extra code
removed...
if (pcLoaded >= 99){loader_mc._alpha = 0;
image_mc._visible = true;
myMask_mc._visible = true;
image_mc.setMask(myMask_mc);
.....Loading progress loop ends}
iszoomed = true;
}

Website displays fine in Preview but not when 'Published' to BC

Hi
I've posted this question twice in the Adobe Muse discussion forums and had zero response so hopefully people with more experience form the BC perspective might be able to shed some light on this.
Basically I have a subscription to Muse and with that the ability to host one site with Business Catalyst. When checking the first site I designed I'd use 'Preview in Browser' and the site occasionaly displayed incorrectly, so I changed my habits to publishing the work-in-progress site to the BC url with this current site.
Unfortunately there are multiple display problems with doing this; the two images below show the difference between 'Publish' to the BC domain and 'Preview site in browser'.
I've cleared the cache of the browser multiple times and used both Firefox and Safari and the problem still remains. I'm assuming it's a problem with Business Catalyst?
Does anyone have a solution for this? Has data become corrupted in BC, and if so is there a way of 'flushing' the data held on the BC site clean to start from scratch?
Would really appreciate some help here as it's impossible to show my client the current state of the site
Thanks in advance
Phil

Hi Liam
Tried it in Safari and Firefox (I'm on a Mac), cleared the cache and still was getting issues.
http://httpwiles06businesscatalystcom.businesscatalyst.com/clients.html
If you go to the client page there I'm getting the images behing strangely like the top pic I posted, also the top type image has moved over.
i set up a subdomain on my own site to use as a test space for this client site and it works perfectly; that's on
http://martinedwardstest.phunction.net/
Appreciate any fedback, opinions or help on what might or might not be wrong.
Cheers

Button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf

Captivate 6, button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf, the cursor changes the “the hand” but the hyperlink does not redirect.
Any ideas?
Like I said my buttons work great in preview mode after publishing, one click and the PDF opens in a new browser window. Open the project through the published .swf files and the links will not work.
Using Captivate 6 on WIndows 7

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Once your project published, add the .swf file in Flash Global Setting :
1) Right Click on the content (Published .swf file) and click on Global Settings
2) Go to Advanced Tab and Click on Trusted Location Settings (Scrool down to see this button)
3) Click on "Add" button and then "Add file", browse for the Captivate 6 published file and click on OK
4) Launch the .htm file again (Location where Captivate publish your project)
Hope this helps !!
Thanks,
Vikram

Captivate 3 shows skin in preview but not when I run after published?

Captivate 3 shows skin in preview but not when I run after published. It shows it is included, what's up?

Is the Skin externalised? If so, perhaps Flash Global Security is interfering:

You could also try NOT externalising the skin.

Ipod nano plays with headphones but not when plugged in to player

I have a nano 16gb 4th or 5th generation. It has worked fine up until about a week ago. It works if I plug in the headphones, but not when it is plugged into the car stereo or an iHome. Any thoughts?

If:
-you and your husband have the same generation iPod nano
-they both have the same latest software
-you tried the car stereo with the same iPod charging cord.
(with 32 pins connector I just wanted to make sure it is not the headphone plug)
this means that the problem is indeed with your iPod nano.
Since you also said that before last week everything worked fine, something must've gone wrong after that.
This could be software-related or hardware-related. Did you try to connect it to your computer? Does the computer recognise it? Can you still charge it?
If the computer does recognise the iPod it might be a good idea to 'repair' your iPod via iTunes.
Or try the Five R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/# (more or less the same for 4th and 5th gen)
If your computer does not recognise it, it probably needs to be repaired. But since it is 4th or 5th generation I guess the warranty is void already, and you'll have to decide how much this is worth to you or if you wouldn't want to buy a new one.

SWFloader loads SWF movie within Flex but not when compiled

When I run my app in Flex, SWFLoader loads the SWF okay as a movie clip but as soon as I Export/Release Build, the new app SWF that is generated won't show the movie clip anymore. If I take another SWF that is an app (not a movie clip) and give it the movie swf name, my compiled app will show the sub app in a frame. Why would running something within Flex be any different than running a compiled version?
Here is some of the code:
button1 loads the swf.
button2 loads a sound and when the sound is loaded, the sound is played and the swf is played in onSoundLoaded();
public  function onSoundLoaded(event:Event):void{
var localSound:Sound = event.target as Sound;localSound.play();
var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(swflodr.content);
clip.play();
private
function button1Handler(event:Event):void {Alert.show("test 1");swflodr.load(
"dog.swf");Alert.show(
"test 2");}
private
function button2Handler(event:Event):void
var s:Sound = new
Sound();s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSoundLoaded);
var
req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.mp3");
s.load(req);
private function SwfLodrEventHandler(event:Event):void {
var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(swflodr.content);clip.gotoAndStop(1);
Alert.show(
"The event loader is ready");}
thanks, Mike

Maybe timing? The child SWF may not be fully loaded. Sounds and SWFs are asynchronously loaded.
