SWF works great in flash, not in Flash player or web Browser

I am a flash neophyte and I am struggling with a strange problem. I have numerous swf files which work except one that is rather complex. When I debug the FLA of this problem file in flash CS4, it works fine. When I publish the FLA and open the subsequent SWF in Flash, it works fine. I open the same file in Flash Player or when I open it on a browser, the screen is white and nothing happens. When a right click on the browser frame and it offers me all the possibilities of a fully loaded movie, except that there is just a blank screen
The file is online at (if you can open it) and i have attached the swf and swd to this post
http://pmworld.jp10000.com/00024.swf
Any ideas are very welcome.

i think i figured it out... i have instances of the
flvplayback component, and their autoplay was auto set to true. i
got so caught up in the actionscript side i forgot about the
component settings. even though my actionscript told them to stop i
guess the flv would load after the code and play anyways. but
locally it would work because the flvs would load instantly.

How to send really Chinese word, not the string "&# number " to web browser

Each Chinese word on page sending to web browser is translated to a string in form "&#<number>" by default, it's a problem when Chinese word is included in url. How to specify sending really Chinese word, not the string "&#<number>" to web browser?

Thanks that seems to make much more sense, still having some troubles though.
Ok so now the majority of it seems to be working and it seems to be sending the String just fine. And I'm having it send the String to the BufferedWriter "out" and then using the newLine() method to send a carriage return but the BufferedReader on "in" seems to not detect the carriage return.
I have it doing a readLine() so that (as I understand it) it should be blocking, waiting until an end of line character so I assume each call of newLine() should have it pick up something but a quick breakpoint shows that it never stops blocking on readLine().
I assume the connection is fine because the application running as server uses the socket object returned by the accept() method.
Is there something I've perhaps misunderstood about the BufferedReader's readLine() method?
Here's the new version of my netbeans project:
http://rapidshare.com/files/371224512/KerazehDood.rar
Also on a different line of questioning, I'm just wondering about socket convention.
I was thinking it'd be useful in a game similar to what I'm attempting to make to not only send player position information but also client keypress information, I was just wondering, if you're doing something like that would it be frowned upon to use two separate ports? I think it would make the implementation far more legible and easy to structure but wasn't sure if applications usually try to stick to only one port or not.
Thanks.

Glad you got it all working! Good job!
Just a note (for yourself and anyone else using Flash) on the rumor that all Flash files must be in the root folder... simply not true. In my opinion, as with any other type of files on your site, I'd suggest putting them in organized folders.... all the images in one folder... then subfolder for diff categories of images, flv video files in another folder, maybe keep all the .swf files in another, the xml data files in another, etc. Flash asset files can be just as organized as any other type of files.
From an old article.... for review:
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.

Photo Stack swf works in IE but not Firefox

Would anyone know why the photo stack flash gallery won't work in Firefox? IE works fine. I'm fairly sure its just a bit of syntax i'm missing, or a compatibility issue.
I am using a .swf file which imports images in using an xm
l file and then displays them as a stack of photos which can then be rotated and looked through.
This is the code i'm using to embed it on the page.
=====================
<object id="flashmovie" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.swf" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" >
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.swf" />
<param name="FLASHVARS" value="path=/san/www/somewhere.com/htdocs/home/ProspectiveStudents/InternationalStudents/ afolder/afolderphotos/">
<embed src="/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.swf" width="550" height="400" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
</object>
=======================
And this is the Actionscript code within the swf, as I think it may be causing the issue
================
MovieClip.prototype.addProperty("onLoad", function () {
return __onLoadHandler__[this];
}, function (f) {
if (__onLoadHandler__ == undefined) {
_global.__onLoadHandler__ = {};
__onLoadHandler__[this] = f;
Math.easeInQuad = function(t, b, c, d) {
return c*(t /= d)*t+b;
Math.easeOutQuad = function(t, b, c, d) {
return -c*(t /= d)*(t-2)+b;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function() {
nodes = myXML.childNodes;
// find first image
if (topimage.length) {
for (var i = 0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
   if (nodes[i].attributes.src == topimage) {
    var insert = nodes.slice(0, i);
    nodes.splice(0, i);
    nodes = nodes.concat(insert);
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
if (_url.indexOf("http")>-1) {
myXML.load("http://somewhere.com/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.php?querystring=" + path);
} else {
myXML.load("gallery.xml");
stop();
===========================
I export it as Flashplayer ver 6, and actionscript ver 1.0. Changing versions didn't make it work.

Apologies - I did not mean to post this twice - having
problems with my PC!

Url links in swf work in standalone, but not when opened in browser

I am currently using flash to create an electronic press kit.
In that, i have 2 links to youtube (since embedding the videos was
not an option, making the file too large), and one link to
yousendit for the viewer to be able to download a pdf file.
Now when i open the swf by double clicking on it (which i can
do, but when on another computer, that has flash player installed,
the swf will not open unless opened through a browser....not sure
if that is just something where you can open an swf strictly by
itself only if you actually have flash or what....that is another
issue), but anyways, when i open the swf by itself, the links work
correctly. once opened through a browser, the links do not work.
Safari error:
Adobe flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe
operation.
The following local application of your computer or network:
(location of swf on harddisk)
is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled location:
youtube.com
To let this application communicate with the internet, click
SETTINGS.
You must restart this application after changing your
settings.
Of course i did that, and it didnt happen.
My question is however, even if this is a simple security
issue/setting within the browser, is there any way to get around
this? Because when sending this press kit out, the last thing i
want is for the viewer to have to take the time to change their
browser settings and try to get this to work and all that stuff.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can also download this swf at the following link:
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...661F585ACE0521

The reason the swf doesn't open up by itself on other
computers is that it needs a Stand Alone Flash Player to do so.
Most people have the Flash plug-in for their browsers, but not the
stand alone player. If you are sending it out as a self contained
file you need to make a Projector file. It contains the SA + swf in
one file, which adds weight. Also, you need to make a Windows one
and and a Mac one. If you are using CS3, I think you can make a
Abobe AIR app that is universal, granted you install the free AIR
plug-in controlls for Flash ( I THINK. My knowlege is not totally
up to date) .
As for the links not working in the browser, its seems like
they should work. Your posted link for the file is broken, so
couldn't see. What is your code for the buttons? Are you calling
JavaScript in your html page? I've had problem with that usually a
syntax error or IE.

Gnome not recognising Ice Cat as web browser

I've installed a few days ago Ice Cat and I wanted to use it as my default web browser, the only problem is it doesn't appear in my settings as a browser.
I already made a .desktop file for it specifying it was a web browser and adding a %U to the Exec=appPath line and created the proper Mime files according to the Wiki.
The only thing I did different is that instead of being logged in as a user I'm always root (I know, not a great idea) so I used /usr/share/mime instead of ~/.local/share/mime but there shouldn't be any issues.
Does anyone know why could this be?

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but hopefully can clarify a point: most users will tell you that running X as root is bad; there is truth to that, but it is not some mystical rule. Other users who really know what they are doing chose to run X as root. But in neither case would someone run something as root simply because it doesn't work as a regular user.
$ command
Some unrecongnized error
$ sudo command
That is a recipe for disaster. If something doesn't work as you expected, learn about that thing, don't just hit it with a bigger hammer. If something goes horribly wrong when running some new command as a regular user, you can fix it. If something goes horribly wrong when running a new command as root, your only hope is that full system backup you just made.
As for the settings menu - is it supposed to show up there? Doesn't the menu need to be configured to show what you want? How does the menu work, from where does it gather information for it's entries (I don't really know, I don't use gnome).

Photo Gallery not showing photos in computer Web browser

None of my photo gallery photos are showing up in a computer's Web browser? They show up fine when you click "View Web Journal in Safari" on an iPad 2, but when I publish them to iCloud and Share the Web Journal Link, the photos don't show up?? It's happening with all of my Journals. It doesn't work on a Mac or Windows? What gives??
You try it:https://www.icloud.com/iphoto/projects/#1;CAEQARoQdoVWsxptdYjcSQD-Rg1QVg;B692688 8-A220-4FF7-848F-6383BB15A5DB

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, matey. They all show for me in Safari but require several page refreshes to get them all to display. Those that don't display will if I click on it and then go back to the page. However, when retuning to the first page will put be back at square one and require multiple refreshes to get them to display, but not always.
Also, the page links are all messed up. Clicking on them just returns me to the first page. If I Option click on a page link from Page 1 I will get to the right page.
I am unable to get Firefox or Chrome to work at all on your gallery.

Reader 8.1.2 does not allow reading PDF within Web browser???

Adobe updated my perfectly working reader with version 8.1.2, then I received the following message:
"Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your Web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again."
I un-installed 8.1.2 and cleaned up the registry.
Re-installed 7.0.9 and finally I am back in business.
Now Adobe insists in wanting to install 8.1.1 AND IS CONSTANTLY placing a pop up to offer me the new version WHICH DOES NOT WORK!
How do I get that popup to go away?
Thanks.

I believe that I found a fix for this by going into 'My Computer'>Tools>Folder Options>File Types, where I changed the 'destination' file used to open PDF files from the older Adobe that was listed to the most recently installed version (8.1.2) (which is AcroRd32.exe, not simply AcroRd.exe). This change now shows up when I'm opening a downloaded PDF file; the automatic program to do so is now indicated as the newly installed Adobe 8.1.2 (i.e. AcroRd32.exe). My other PDF files are now opening automatically as well.

Ethernet and Internet detected, not able to connect to web-browser

I'm working on a 15" powerbook. I just got back to school, and when I plug into the ethernet port,my computer detects that the ethernet is plugged in and that I am connected to the internet. My IP Address is recognized and everything else. My problem is that when I try to open a web browser, it says it can't find the server. The same for when I try to log into AIM. I am connected to the network, as I can see "shard music" in iTunes and everything else. I am connected using DHCP. Anyone know where I should start? The "help-desk" here is of no help.

Could be a DNS error,
enter http://17.254.3.183 into your address bar.
If you get to the apple site, then it is a DNS error.
if not, I'd pull your system config plists and restart.

Issues with the "right click" window not going away, unable to web browse

Out of the blue, and at least 3-4 times a day, the "right click" pop up window will appear while I am web browsing, if I try to move the mouse , the window will continue to appear until I have to re boot.. Also, while it does this, sometimes it will make my screen pan in and out while moving the mouse.. Any ideas why this happens.. It's becoming quite annoying. BTW my browser is fire fox, and I have reinstalled it but it has not helped.
Thanks

Actually... thinking about it... it sounds like a sticky ctrl key on your keyboard
The zooming in and out is when you hold ctrl and move the scroll ball
the "right click" function (as on macs of old) is activated when ctrl+click-ing...
Have a look around your keyboard, maby try another, see if the problem persists

SWF works in IE but not Firefox

.mov background inside .swf works locally then does not in website???

This is weird. I really hope someone has an answer.
I imported a .mov file into flash then > Covert to symbol > Movie clip then double clicked the movie to go into it. I made all my other layers above the .mov movie base layer.
I made a folder on my desktop with the a inserted.html file to display the published flash (.swf). I used the
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="file.swf" width="218"height="150">
<param name="movie" value="file.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
insertion method. Everything was looking good in the local folder. My imported movie was playing in the base layer with my other text & images layers tweening over top.
When I moved the file.swf into the website flash folder & used the same insertion technique. The base movie layer was not appearing anymore.
I tried some different insertion techniques (html) but with the same result.
This is so annoying. I spent hours making my nice flash movie & tested it locally as I went. If someone can shed some knowledge about this quirk I would be happy to buy them a beer.

Make sure you used the right video import method.
Convert your mov to flv and embed it in the timeline.

Got it! iphotos/itunes worked great in idvd, not imovie!

Used imovie for 350 iphotos and 10 itunes - wouldn't burn and got hung up in the audio encoding process. Switched my energy to idvd. Pick a theme, choose map, drag iphoto album from media section into the theme square and presto, all pictures were divided into 4 chapters. Click in first theme square & put in PLAY and a title. In second theme square you'll see parts
1-4, each housing 99 photos. Then go to media and choose itunes, pick your songs or have an album already made and drag to music square in lower right hand corner. That's it! Press play to review and then burn. Have patience, took two hours to burn. My 10 songs take 30 min. so each part takes 30 min., therefore the four parts take two hours to view. Unbelievable, looks great on TV. I can finally put this to rest and my family has a pictorial history of digital and scanned photos with family favorite songs.

Same problem here. Since there isn't a shuffle station feature, I thought I'd create a station and then add a bunch of artists to it. So I started out with a Jack White station and then added about 30 more artists. It was working just fine for about 5 songs and then just stopped. It wouldn't load anymore songs on my iphone or in itunes. So I deleted the station and started from scratch. It played one song this time and then no more.
The other stations I've created and haven't added artists to appear to be working ok, but there is a bit of a delay in getting them going.
Maybe the servers are overloaded?
How many artists did you try to add to your station, dinosoar? When it was working, did the station play a good variety before ODing on the Eagles?

.SWF works in Firefox, but Not in IE

I've researched past discussions and none of them seem to point to what is the problem. I am figuring it is the way in which I embedded it...which I followed basic instructions. I am just clueless.

Iweb site working great but blog not showing in Google Search

Not sure how to get my iweb blog to show up in Google searches. I am using iweb seo tool, and all my other pages on the site are searchable on Google, but the blog entries are not. It's been a month or more. Is this something that's happening on the blog pages only because I"m using my ftp and not publishing through mobileme? Not necessary that I have comments, but I would like the blog entries to be searchable. Thanks!

iWeb SEO Tool allows you to add the title tag and meta descritption for the Google entry...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
To get the spiders to this info you need to give them a sitemap with all the URLs to crawl. Blog HTML files are buried in a sub folder so you need to provide the path.
