.swf won't play from webserver

Someone hijacked my last post, so here it is again.
http://www.milkmoonkids.com
There is a brown square that has a .swf loaded into it. It
plays locally, but not when I upload it to my webserver. Any idea
what is going on? I appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Rich

Of course without seeing and testing the page, it's impossible to tell for sure whats wrong. Can you post a link to the actual page.
That being said, my first guess is that it's being published with something like this in the <object> code:
swfversion 11.0.0.0
... meaning that some version of Flash player 11 is required to play the .swf. For viewers with that version installed it works, for those without, it doesn't.This has been a real common problem when "Publish" sticks that version 11 requirement in the code.
So open the HTML page. find that part of the <object> code and edit the code to read swfversion 10 instead.
Use DreamWeaver or NotePad or whatever to edit... but without seeing the page, that's my best guess.
Best wishes,

  • IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

    I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ?  Anybody help please.  Thanks

  • .swf won't play - blank screen

    Hello,
    I had my flash designer take a 16MB .mpg file and convert it
    to a 2MB .swf
    file.
    I created a "blank" .hmtl page and dropped in the .swf -
    which shows up as
    the white box on this page:
    http://emerge-solutions.com/pland
    (this link will forward you to the page.)
    After I got a blank screen, I uploaded the .flv (2MB) and the
    .fla (14MB)
    files to the server as well (same folder as the .html file)
    but that didn't
    help - same blank screen.
    Can anyone help me understand why this .swf won't play?
    Thank you in advance!

    It plays fine for me.
    Tested in Chrome, IE7, and FF3

  • Captivate 4 published SWFs won't play suddenly

    Hello, I have been happily making Captivate 4 training, using a template. The published SWry mF movies have been playing just fine... on my PC and several others.
    But today went to show off my work to the boss... who HAS successfully played previous Captivates I've made, and they won't play.
    Double-clicking the HTM, or trying to open the SWF from the browser just shows a blank white screen that does nothing.  What would cause a published SWF, etc., to suddenly not play on selected machines... the owner doesn't remember chanigng anything...
    And, what would be my trouble-shooting sequence to try and fix this problem?
    Thank you very much

    Hi there
    Same dog, different leg action. In other words, what you linked to is a red herring.
    What I mean by that is the article you linked to is referring to an inability to preview from Captivate 3. You are talking about Captivate 4 and the issue doesn't seem to manifest until after you publish, right?
    Sure, Flash Player 10 may appear to be the common link at the moment, but we don't know for sure. With Captivate 3, the issue was only with preview. The output worked just fine. So the issue there is with an internal mechanism in Captivate as you work to create your content. What you are seeing now is certainly related to the internals of Captivate, but 4 is a new beast. It would seem that 4 has maybe introduced something causing this for you.
    There may have been a few other posts related to this phenomenon. But they are very few and far between. Given the widespread use of the Flash Player, if it were solely an issue with the Player, I might expect we would have seen loads of reports. But we haven't.
    I'll be very interested to see what you discover. Out of curiousity, I'm guessing you have attempted different combinations of settings? AS2 VS AS3, externalizing items, etc.?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Updated SWF won't play in browser anymore

    I recently made a word change, that's all, to my fla file and exported the updated swf file. It plays in preview just fine, as well as when typing in the direct url - www.bicesandiego.com/about.swf but won't play on its own after I uploaded to the server.
    I am not a programmer and received these files from the client, but I have made changes to this very file before and it worked fine. Now, it will not show when I go to the about page. Any thoughts?

    If the main file loads the about file, it may have a mask that needs to be extended.  But since you say you only changed a word, as opposed to adding a number of them, I don't see what that would have done to change anything.  So you must have changed something else in the process of whatever you were doing.

  • FLVs won't play from CD on XP

    Hi -
    I have a Flash CS3/AS2 project containing swfs with FLVs.  When I Publish the "START.fla" which pulls all the files together, I tell Flash to create a "Projector" for Mac and an "EXE" for Windows. On my (OS X) desktop this Projector thing works perfectly...swfs open from a menu in my GUI, the swfs reference flvs and the flvs play.  The swfs are in the same folder as their flvs.
    If I put this whole folder full of files over to the WinXP box (via shared folder), double click on the EXE - no flvs will appear.  Everything "leading up to" an flv works - but where there should be a video there is none.
    Moving on I burn the project onto a CD.  When I open the CD on the Mac and find the Projector - I double click and it still works great. Everything flawless.
    I put that same CD into the WinXP (SP3) box, find the EXE and double click.  As I expected - no improvement, the GUI opens,the swfs can be launched from the menu, but no flvs appear.  I get the swf that references the flv - but no flv. I even waited extra time thinking it would eventually happen.  No.
    Can anyone give me an idea why it should work on Mac and not on XP?  Where should I look for the glitch?
    TIA some expertise.

    For those lost souls who found themselves on my path...
    As far as why disc didn't work on XP.
    When using Toast 9 (Mac) to burn CDs/DVDs -
    -use Data / Mac & PC. (not UDF)
    Then use Toast's own way of writing .inf files and including icons.  No other app is required. everything is inside Toast under "More".
    Also - files can be hidden from opposing platforms.  Very handy.

  • One song won't play from recently brought album, how do i get it to play?

    Hi,
    I just brought a album and all song play except one, it says my pc is not autherised but it is and have re autheriesed to make sure. It still won't play any idea??
    thanks

    Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Movie won't play from start to finish

    I'm an idiot I know but I'm editing my first movie and can't find the answer to this in the online brochure. Here's the problem:
    1. I've assembled all of my clips in the video track.
    2. Have not inserted any transitions because I was having trouble with the "overlap" transition. "Add" button was grayed out.
    3. Whenever I try to play the movie to see how all the clips work with each other, the movie ends at the end of the first clip. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!!! Can anybody help me out there?
    I'd buy you a beer if you were here!

    Carl and Sweet Polly,
    You guys rock! That was it, I only had the first clip highlighted. When I highlighted everything the movie played from start to finish. Also, learned something new too. I couldn't get the overlay transitions to work so I rebooted, upgraded to os 10.4.11, upgraded Quicktime and now they work. Thanks for your quick response! I probably won't through my computer off the balcony for at least another day now! : > )

  • Full screen playback won't play from the playhead

    Hi all,
    I'm using I-Movie 11.  When I try to play in full screen (either by using cmd+G or going through the 'view' menu) it will not play from where the playhead is.  Instead it seems to start from random clips in my event.  If I am already watching part of an event and then try to move to watching in full screen, this also happens and the playback jumps back to a random point.
    It used to work fine and I don't have this problem if trying to view a project. Does anyone have any clues about why this might have happened or how I might fix it?
    Thanks,
    Jen

    The problem was resolved just by restarting the computer.  My son read elsewhere that the video player may have been trying to run in 64 bit mode while his older OS X is in 32 bit mode.  Restarting seemed to reset it.

  • Swf won't loop from Dreamweaver

    I created a swf in Flash but from Dreamweaver I can't get it
    to loop in my browser or the web.
    I have put a check in the loop box on Flash an Dreamweaver
    and no luck
    Anyone able to help me please?

    One thing to do first is to confirm whether ior not the file is loading.  It is possible it is loading but needs something to kick it off, or it is trying to load something itself, like a data file or some content, and has an error trying to load it due to a possible path problem now that the file is being placed in a different home.
    Does the large file load any files?  What is the location of that file relative to the file preloader?

  • My Flash SWF file inside of my Flash Catalyst SWF won't play when previewed in Dreamweaver?

    However, when I preview the flash catalyst swf file, the flash swf thats inside, plays just fine. any suggestions or solutions?

    Does the one swf load the other swf?  If so, is the one swf in the same folder as the html file that embeds it?

  • Ipod alarm won't play from playlists

    So, I just recieved a brand new ipod from apple because my battery was not holding a charge. I cannot get the alarm to play from a playlist. The only option under sound is beep and that would never get me up. Any thoughts?

    I know this is a silly question, but do you have a playlist on your iPod that you can select?
    Otherwise the only option is the 'beep'.

  • Swf file wont play from httpserver, windows opens up but doesn't play, but works fine from SunOne

  • Swf won't play after uploading - white box

    I've posted a couple of previous times and gotten nothing but
    dead air, so I'm still trying to find a way to get flash movies to
    just play on a web site. Is it that hard? I hate flash. Why doesn't
    it just work?
    I'm trying to put a video gallery up and currently have eight
    .swf video clips that all begin downloading simultaneously when the
    page is opened, hogging bandwidth that should be reserved for
    whatever one video the user chooses. I can't find a way to keep the
    clips from downloading until the user clicks the play button. And I
    can't put a buffer delay in. Everything I can find on a buffer in
    Flash says to change the BufferTimer in the components inspector.
    But I HAVE NO BUFFERTIMER IN THE COMPONENTS INSPECTOR!! I've got
    Align, AutoPlay, CuePoints, etc., but no BufferTimer! I swear I
    must have a faulty version of Flash CS3.
    So I'm trying to get around it by using a gallery of images
    that link to individual pages with one .swf file. It all tests fine
    on my local machine, but once it's uploaded, the gallery images
    pull up pages with a big fat white box where the .swf should be.
    What gives?
    And while I'm ranting about the difficulties of Flash, I'll
    rave about the ease of use of Dreamweaver. Why can't Fl be more
    like Dw? ie, coding not required. I've been trying to wrestle this
    Flash gallery into reality for more than a week and I'm on the
    verge of reverting back to embedded Quicktime files.
    BTW, does anyone know of a Flash forum people actually? I
    haven't gotten a response at Creative Cow or here.
    Sorry for the rant; I'm at my wit's end.

    I am having the very same problem. When I post the swf file
    and call it up, all I see is a white box with my play button and
    stop button at the bottom. Both of these buttons work and it looks
    fine once you hit the play button. But I want the swf to come up to
    the first frame which should be a picture of a person -- not the
    white box!
    Did you ever find out how to fix this problem? I'd be ever so
    grateful to get help on this one.
    Thanks!
