Technical Flash problem in Keynote

Hello!
I have a question concerning the development of Flash files to use in Keynote.
Whenever I use a flash movie that has another flash movie embedded in it the following occurs: the two movies play together at first, but revisiting the slide causes the top level movie to play, but not the embedded movie. Thus, if I use the Presenter display the movie plays correctly in it, but not when that slide is moved onto the main screen (i.e. the second time the movie is called on).
I'm using he embedded movies to mirror several actions, so flattening everything would take too long to be considered an option. I expect it will involve modifying the Flash files though. Has anyone else found a solution to this or something similar?
I'm using Keynote 3, and files are Flash 4 or 5 files. (5 it think. But it's a problem for either.)
If you're having trouble visualizing the problem you can download the keynote file here and the flash files here (fla and swf).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I remember trying to take advantage of this at one point. I figured it the movie WAS essentially being "remembered" as playing them maybe I could use a music track loaded into an .swf to play for the entire presentation. Didn't quite work out that way, though.
I think the problem is with the way QuickTime handles those movies... it doesn't like the independent time track and doesn't know what to do with it. It would be cool if something like this could be done with Quartz Composer, but I don't know enough about it to make anything that complex.

  • Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

    Hi All!
    I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites).  I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon.  I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
    I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively.  I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                            NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                            PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
    Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin? 
    My second question regards the installation of Flash.  I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do.  Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved.  Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem?  If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
    Well, that's all the new info I have.  I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed!  I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Here's my previous post:
    Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
    Hi!
    I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
    My attempts to resolve the problem were:
    1.  Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
    2.  Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
    3.  Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
    4.  Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
    5.  Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
    6.  Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
    7.  Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
    8.  Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
         same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen.  Even
         though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
         thought I should mention it).
    9.  I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
         for 2 sites.
    I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
    As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are: 
                                        http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                        http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
    I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha).  I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
    I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate!  I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer.  If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Best Regards,
    DogPal 
    P.S.  I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is!  (I told you I'm clueless!) 

    I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1.  It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7.  It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
    As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

  • Flash problem after software update (on 10.6.8)

    I'm having flash problems on *some* macs after one of the recent software updates (june 2012). 
    On my school's 10 iMac's (2010), I can't play flash games anymore *in safari*.  Chrome is ok.
    An example site, is http://www.barryfunenglish.com/games.php (select any game)
    But on my school's 6 MacBook Pro's, I can - both safari and chrome.
    It was working 2 weeks ago on all computers.
    I'm using Software Update server from our server to update all the macs, so it's possible there was an update problem.
    Why is flash missing on the 10 imacs safari?  But not on the macbook pros?

    so did Apple uninstall flash on safari with it's latest update?  do you know the reason?
    Yes, it was blacklisted by Adobe for security vulnerabilities. OS X now checks to make certain you are running a safe version and disables it if you aren't.
    With the latest update, you now have the option of having Adobe doing a "Silent Update" in the background without your having to do anything. I would recommend you implement it.

  • Problem with Keynote

    Hello, anyone knows about a problem in Keynote(iWork) that whenever I write with a RTL language, and make "Build" in Inspector, it doesn't not show the whole word or sentence, and sometimes it doesn't show the entire sentence.
    Is this problem solvable?
    Thank you,
    Balig

    All iwork apps have major bugs with RTL scripts and are normally not suitable for using them, unless copy/paste from another app like TextEdit works well enough to meet your needs.    Sometimes different Effects may give better results than others.
    In any case, such problems are not related to your hardware and you should ask in a software forum like

  • Image problems with keynote   dropbox

    We are having massive problems with images not appearing correctly in our Keynote when saved via dropbox. Images appear swaped with other images, or at times, completely missing all together. This has completely crippled the work flow at our business and we are at all but a loss other on how we can continue to properly work in Keynote 6. What can be done to remedy this problem?

    This is a MASSIVE problem. Keynote autosaves every single small change. With multiple team members on multiple locations it's virtually impossible to know if someone even does 1 tiny change in the presentation, while someone else is doing the same. The autosave makes this almost a certainty to happen.
    We had to do multiple reworks this weekend, because of this. It makes working with dropbox and Keynote virtually impossible. I asked around and all Agencies I know, having the same issue.
    One change on two locations, even by accident means:
    - Broken images
    - Broken videos
    - Mixed images turning on different locaties
    - Mixed videos turning on different locaties
    - Keynote versioning broke.
    - No dropbox versioning because of the new file format,
    Only thing that can save you is a local backup.....OMG!!
    It feels like a viral outbreak, and nobody is realising it yet....

  • Firefox not helping with Flash problem

    Ok, so, I'm getting really irritated with Flash. I talked to
    a friend who was having flash problems and they said they
    downloaded Firefox and it fixed the problem. Well, after doing
    EVERYTHING else first, I thought, what the heck, maybe it might
    actually work. So I downloaded and installed Firefox. Ok, that
    installed perfectly fine. So I used Firefox to download Flash 9. I
    thought all was going to work out, because Firefox didn't just
    refresh the page like Internet Explorer did whenever I clicked the
    "Agree and download now" button on the download page. It actually
    downloaded and "said" it installed correctly. But I still can't
    play ANYTHING no Youtube STILL!! I go to youtube on Firefox and
    aperently it doesn't regonize any Flash on my computer. I go to
    youtube on Internet Ex. and it says I need the latest version of
    Flash. I tried rebooting the computer. I tried uninstalling and
    installing it AGAIN. What the F is the problem? I've made sure all
    my AxtiveX controlls are set to whatever thry need to be, my
    Shockwave is updated, my security is not interfearing. I'm getting
    really pissed. I've been trying to fix this problem for months
    now!! What else could be going wrong?? Is there something I haven't
    tried yet? Do I just need to get a new F-ing computer? Someone
    help!!

    Well the first thing you need to understand is this...
    Flash Player for Windows Internet Explorer is an ActiveX
    control.
    Flash Player for Windows for ALL other browsers is a plugin.
    They do the same thing ultimately, but they're separate
    downloads and on your machine they're actually seperate bits of
    software.
    So the reason that so many people have success with Firefox
    is that the Flash Player plugin seldom has install failures. But
    for IE Windows users the Flash Player activex control often has
    permission-related install failures that cause these kind of
    issues. It's unfortunate, but very, very complex and we've been
    fighting it for a long time.
    So the thing to remember is that when you're talking about
    Firefox, you're not dealing with ActiveX controls in ANY way.
    So here's the question.. When you launch JUST Firefox, and go
    to this page, what do you see?

  • Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

    I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
    Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
    videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
    play.
    Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
    Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
    to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
    specified buffer time).
    In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
    activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
    rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
    Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
    but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
    Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this
    may be a related issue?
    Help??? I don't even know where to begin.
    address:
    http://64.38.28.254
    thank you in advance.

    Try changing the line:
    td { }
    in your CSS file 'basic.css' to:
    td { vertical-align: top; }
    This will align all table cells on your web site to the top.

    Hi Mush25-
    I had to step back from this and take a different approach.
    While tossin' down some aspirins, I worked on my other niece's
    laptop to upgrade to FP10 and troubleshoot. Identical to T2, but
    with more Yahoo stuff: homepage, toolbar, chat, etc.. Turns out she
    had already done it via Adobe yes/no prompt. No issues, everything
    works OK. She said it only took a few minutes. I checked it out and
    checked the settings, it's OK. Go figure.....
    So, I will approach this as a problem with Manual
    Downloading, which you and I did (not sure about Morac).
    The HP desktop? We don't normally use IE7 on it, as it is AOL
    Dial-up only, so few/no cookie issues on IE7. I kicked in IE7 and
    FP10 worked OK. Well, as OK as dial-up video can be....
    OK- a question for ya, this will tell me if I'm on the right
    track: On your first FP10 upgrade, did you FIRST uninstall FP9, or
    download/install OVER FP9? Please answer honestly....no judgements
    here...
    I didn't uninstall first- I admit it! I never do for Adobe
    and Java, as I want to make sure the new version/upgrade works OK
    before losing the old. I was on the old dial-up for too long, I
    guess. There are exceptions, of course, like AVG.
    Let me know.

  • Problems saving keynote presentation??

    anyone having problems getting Keynote to save a file - when I save it (has videoclips in it) it goes into endless spinning wheel mode until I force quit and then I lose data...
    thanks!

    Open the file. At the top.... click File> Save as> and see where you are saving it too. Odds are that is where the problem is. Like said before, change that "save to" to the "desktop".
    You can do it!

  • Do I need to drop Mozilla since they can't seem to solve the Adobe Flash problem?

    I have followed every step suggested to fix Adobe Flash crashing problem. Is the real solution to just drop Mozilla and switch to Chrome? Seem Adobe Flash works just fine there...

    By the way, it would be useful if you could mention which settings you have changed. The headline suggestions for working around Flash problems usually include the following:
    (1) Disable protected mode (Win Vista and Win 7 only)
    See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Check for and resolve conflicts with Firefox add-ons (e.g., using Safe Mode or a clean profile)
    (4) For display issues with scrolling, disable Smooth Scrolling and Autoscrolling here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General

  • Placing a Flash demo in Keynote

    I need to place an interactive Flash demo into Keynote, but there does not seem to be any way of doing this. In addition, I tried to add Flash movies as described by Apple (Apple menu > System Preferences, click QuickTime, click Advanced, select Enable Flash), but in QT version 7.5 there is no "Enable Flash" button--just "Enable kiosk mode" and "Show legacy encoders".
    Any suggestions?

    huff and puff!!!! Glad to have found this thread after trying to do something I did before (insert Flash file) and now can't do ... one wonders why someone hasn't checked/updated the Help file 'cos that says - as above - that you can do it ... and why have they stopped supporting Flash in Keynote (someone didn't want to pay a licence fee)? Not good. Bad move. Who to shoot?
