SWF won't play in IE but fine in Mozilla

I have embedded a couple of SWF files in the following page:
http://www.kandrews.co.uk/the%20alpineescape/index4.html
this works fine with Mozilla but with IE I just get a message
about pressing the spacebar , all that happens is the space for the
files is then blank. What is weird is that the SWF file on this
page, for example, works on IE:
http://www.famillesruralesoradour.net/
The only difference being that this is the HTML page created
by Flash and then edited in Dreamweaver and not an embedded object
- swf files on all 3rd party sites also work fine......
Is this a common problem.
cheers

Your object tag (which I.E uses) is for embedding Director
content, not
Flash:

.swf won't play when published, but will in DW

I had posted this a few days ago, any help would be greatful, thanks so much.
first off, I have looked just about everywhere else to find this problem and no other solutions have worked yet.
here's the problem
I have 4 pages
3 are made from templates and one isn't
on the template ones, I have a .swf and when I publish it, it plays.
on the non-template homepage, I have a .swf file and when it is published, it doesn't load at all.
I have tried many things.
- build a new .swf and place it in there
- rebuild the homepage
- make the homepage into a template and then put the flash in
- and probably some other things
the file name is correct, the source name is correct ( /folder_name/file_name.fla)
it is correctly in dreamweaver and when I preview everything works.
any help would be greatly appreciated...I really don't want to start over from the beginning just to see if it works.

Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop. For example both versions of Til' I Collapse by Eminem won't play on my iPod but on laptop, same with Born this Way by Lady Gaga

.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

I have 2 ipad ist generations. I updated one to OS and now netflix won't play on it but my nonupdated one still plays netflix.

I have the iPad2 with IOS5 and Netflix works fine with the Netflix application - I didn't try from Safari.
It shouldn't behave differently between iPad1 and iPad2.

I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

Certain albums won't play on Iphone but still play perfectly fine in Itunes

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS5, certain albums won't play. They work perfectly fine in Itunes on my imac and the still appear in my library on the Iphone, but it won't start playing. The strange thing is, they are all albums from this year. All the rest is working properly.
Allready tried importing the whole library again but that was a waste of time.

Having the same problem with only a few albums.
Any news on this issue?

FCO 10.2 won't play audio. Was fine in 10.1.4, projects open fine, the meter shows it playing, made all correct connections in Inspector, but no sound to system?

Since upgrading to FCP 10.2 from 10.1.4, I'm now not able to get sound even though it shows it's playing in the meter. The clip is a .wav 48k, I have highlighted the audio, gone into the Inspector, chosen Audio, in Pan Mode I've chosen Stereo Left/Right and made sure Stereo is selected on the file in the Channel Configuration. Solo does not help nor is skimming available.
All other audio apps are fine including Quicktime.
Also, I triedstarting a new Project and Importing audio, but the same result. Please let me know what I'm missing.
Is there a way to rollback to 10.1.4 to finish this project?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Thanks Tom- shortly after I posted I read that and the multichannel change in the AudioMidi Setup was indeed the answer!
In reading through the posts, I see you have had answers to many issues so perhaps you help with this :
In 10.1.4, I had used an FX Factory effect for scrolling credits and now it won't play back on 10.2. If I highlight the clip, I have the ability to edit the text, but it won't play- any help is appreciated.
Is there a way to rollback to 10.1.4 to finish this project?
Thanks again, Tom

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.

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!

Swf won't load on web but ok locally (believe only video playback issue)

Hi all,
I am very new to flash....literally first day into it.
I converted a mov into flv and imported the flv with playback component. When I publish, I am able to see both (via the swf and the html) from my browser. Once I uploaded the swf and html onto my webserver (both files are stored in the same folder just like how I had it locally), the swf won't display the video.
Now, I have a button (when clicked, it skips the playback and go directly to the site) and the button works fine. So, I think it is only limited to the video playback.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Ned,
I was just fiddling with it and it seems to be working now. I think your advice of putting the flv there helped?!?! Thanks a billion!
http://www.astoryconcept.com/index1.html
The only minor issue that I need to fix and not sure how yet:
-it stops during the initial playback (I guess my flv is a little large 4mb and I might have to optimize it to a smaller file)
-it didn't center itself when I drag the browser larger/smaller
Now that it works, I want to see if I could optimize it. Wandering if there is a "BETTER/EASIER" way to take me to a url at the end of the video playback.
What I did in here:
I created a cuepoint at 23 second (that's the end of the video) and it will take me to a url (here: adobe.com). Below is the actionscript I had in there (using code snipper) [One is for "Skip Intro" that will bring me to cnn.com; and the other one is the cuepoint that will take me to adobe.com):
================================================================
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
skip_intro_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.cnn.com"), "_blank");
/* On Cue Point Event Handler
Executes the fl_CuePointHandler function defined below each time a cue point is passed in the specified video instance.
Instructions:
1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
The code will execute when cue points are reached in a video that is playing.
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
video.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, fl_CuePointHandler);
function fl_CuePointHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void
// Start your custom code
// This snippet code displays the cue point's name in the Output panel
// trace(event.info.name);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
navigateToURL(url);
// End your custom code

Flash movie won't play in IE, but plays in Mozilla

Streaming video plays just fine in Mozilla Firefox, but in IE
I get prompted to activate ActiveX control and then the video
doesn't play. Had some friends try it..some get the prompt and it
plays...others it doesn't play.
I am using GoLive CS2 and Flash Pro 8. I'm a newbe to
flash..and have searched forums and google and tried several things
with my code in my HTML page..but no luck.

Thanks! I appreciate the help!

Hi Brubble,
IE 6 launched an update a while back which causes this to
happen, or a box appears around your swf when viewed in your
browser - so this will be the case for IE 6 and upward. There

Song won't play on itunes but plays on quicktime

I just downloaded an entire album (not off itunes). However when i click on the song in finder, iTunes opens up but doesn't even display my song. Nothing happens. Not only does it not play, there is not evidence I even clicked on the song.
However when I open it on Quicktime is plays just fine.
I made an email account containing one of the songs that won't play. If someone can maybe dissect why the song won't play in iTunes I'd greatly appreciate it.
<Edited by Host>
I've attached the song to the first email sent to myself. Maybe if you could look at how it's encoded or something to help figure this out.
Thanks in advance!

MP3 files have structures which can vary according to the dialect of mp3 used. Some applications will only look at a file if it is perfect. Some are willing to try pretty much anything. (Like reading a post on Apple Discussion. If somebody omits grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure I might not even try reading it, but some are willing to try and can make sense of it in the end.) There's something not quite right with the file (um, if this is of dubious origins it might not be surprising). iTunes won't look at it, but Quicktime is willing to have a go and can make enough sense of it to play it.
I opened the file with MP3Trimmer (well worth the minimal shareware fee IMHO, and has a pretty liberal trial version). Normally it would open a file like that in a few seconds. It took it about a minute of scanning before it did. I then saved the file in mp3Trimmer (it doesn't recode it so there's no additional quality loss) and it fixed whatever it didn't like and I could add it to iTunes.
