The embeded swf doesn't play...

Hi
I'm trying to embed a swf that was created with a flash gallery making program into a pdf file but it just never works properly. I've also tried converting it into pdf but that doesn't work either. Once I convert it/embed it all I see is a white/black square. However if I embed other smaller swfs most of them just work fine. Could the problem be that the swf is too large? Can anybody please figure out the problem? I've been trying everything for the past 3 days and I'm awfully desperate Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

Acrobat and OS make no difference, but the version of Flash Player that the gallery targets will make a difference - Acrobat and Adobe Reader currently won't play content designed for Flash Player 11.
The other problem can arise when the gallery is using external assets (image files, XML configuration files, etc.) as these must be available after embedding. You should attach them using the Resources tab on the Rich Media Annotation dialog box (right-click your embedded SWF in Acrobat and choose Properties), but if the gallery is written to expect certain folder structures it may not like being sandboxed inside a PDF file.

  • Please help: My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything.

    My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything. The songs do exist physically on the device.
    I tried updating the iPOD but still the problem was not solved.
    Is there any way by which I can play the songs without downloading them again on iPOD?

    I just had the same exact problem. It's like the Nano was forwarding thru the songs by itself..nothing would play!
    So I went and looked at the manual, which suggested I try resetting it first. I did, and it worked! Here's what I did:
    The manual instructed me to turn the "hold" switch on & off. Then it said to hold down the Menu and center button at the same time, until the Apple logo appeared. Then in a few moments the main screen came back on...and I was able to play songs again.
    Hope this works for you, good luck!

  • Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD?

    Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD? I couldn't find any option of changing the stream option also. Please help!

    Me too, ipad mini can't get YouTube app to function via the official app and the same error message," ...tap to retry", but to no avail. The app launches but it will not allow me to sign in. The drop arrow just tilts up and down and ...nothing. I can still access YouTube through Safari browser but strange, I can't find a solution to the app not opening or being able to sign in on either ipad mini or phone even though they are up to date apps.

    Have you contacted app support or maybe view this video from the website? Are you trying to play them within the app itself? Did you double tap on the video that you want to watch?

  • My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

    My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

    Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

  • .SWF doesn't play in website

    Hi, I am using Flash 5. I  need to save my flash .swf to play on a website. I went into Publish settings and selected Flash player 9 and Actionscript 3. I then exported the .swf and .html.
    Animation Doesn’t Play
    I then placed the .swf in Dreamweaver using Dreamweavers .swf plugin. When I previewed the page in my browser the sound played but the animation didn’t. What a I missing?
    Animation Play Button
    Also, can someone please tell me the best way to have my .swf not play until the user clicks’ play. Is there a setting to get a start arrow like a Quicktime mov.? or do I need to set it up myself?
    Thanks

    Does the html page that Flash publushed work okay?  USe the codee from that file if it does,  DW is not a reliable source for embedding Flash content.
    You will need to build in your own controls to have something clickable that plays the file.

  • SWF doesn't play with alpha channel

    I have a 500Kb FLV file that plays as a progressive download through a 12Kb SWF. This FLV was encoded using On2 VP6 codec to maintain alpha data. This is a logo animation for a website so it is essential that the video plays with alpha channel intact. Just to make sure my animation had an alpha channel, I brought it into After Effects to test with a colored background behind it and sure enough, the alpha channel was there, perfect!
    Now in Dreamweaver, when I tested, the FLV plays through the SWF, as it should. However, there is a white square around my video now and the alpha channel is lost.
    I even made sure to select Wmode "transparent" and double-checked my code and saw that I had the correct tag <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
    View my site at http://www.customchromefx.com
    I have played many embedded SWF's with alpha's before. I think the FLV still has the alpha, and the problem is in the SWF that plays the FLV that is giving me the white box? Is there a way around this, perhaps a transparent SWF player or something? Thank you for viewing...

    Okay, so I figured out a way to make my compressed FLV video play with alpha.
    I imported into Flash. Checked the box to "Embed FLV in SWF" and clicked next, and Finish. I made sure the stage area and FPS was set to the same settings as the FLV video.
    In publish settings I used Flash 9,then un-checked compress movie and Published. This new SWF maintained the same file size as the FLV, while also playing with the alpha channel.
    I then imported the SWF into Dreamweaver, and set Wmode to "transparent." 
    I now have a 45 second video (originally a 115Mb quicktime) squeezed down to a measly 500Kb SWF that also has an alpha channel. Sweet!

  • Youtube has stop working properly, just goes to the end and doesn't play. Firefox ver. 30.0

    I've been using Youtube fine for years in Firefox but all of a sudden yesterday videos doesn't play right from Youtube in Firefox. The video tries to load for a bit then just goes to the end and if I click the play button it's stuck in endless loading.
    It seems to be only a Youtube plus Firefox related problem. Dailymotion and other flash videos from other websites loads right and I can load Youtube videos in Internet Explorer just fine.
    I've tried many methods in the search related threads here in the support section and they were of no help. I've uninstalled and reinstall Flash multiple times. I'm truly lost now on what to do here. I would like to continue using Firefox as my main browser.

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • The quicktime plugin doesn't play mp3 in Firefox

    I've got a webpage with <a href="audiofile.mp3" target="a_frame">link text</a>.  This page is part of a website that I'm webmaster on.
    Clicking on the link always plays the audio in Safari but is inconsistent in Firefox in my iMac (OSX 10.6.8).  Sometimes the file plays but mostly the click gets ignored.  I'm using Firefox 5.0.1 and the Quicktime plugin is 7.6.6.
    I've tried this page on PC based browsers.  Chrome works every time.  IE mostly works but sometimes the audio plays but the player controls aren't displayed.  Firefox is inconsistent.
    I've tried disabling other plugins.  Any ideas?

    Your "direct link" code doesn't give any instructions to any browser plug-in. Without instructions each different page visitor will get different behavior. Some visitors settings would download the file and others would play the file using a different browser plug-in (Real Player or WMP for example).

  • The new nano doesn't play video anymore?

    i'm confused? the first, second and third nano played video and had a camera....the new one doesn't

    "Any other ideas?"
    Yes, contact Apple. According to their own website...
    http://www.apple.com/accessibility/itunes/hearing.html
    "Captioned Movies on iPod
    iPod models that support video — including iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation), and iPod touch — can also display captions when present in the content. Captions display in a high-contrast white-on-black font that’s easy to read."
    The 6th generation Nano plays video. Plus the fact that the email their accessibility team has sent in response to my question...
    "On your hearing page, closed captioning for videos refers to the newest nano, is this correct?" seems to confirm very clearly...
    "Hi,
    Thank you for the email. That information is correct, if the video content you have synced from iTunes contains closed caption information you can enable closed captioning. One thing to note, the new iPod Nano (6th Generation) will only sync music video content only.
    Apple Accessibility"
    Perhaps there is some special format to Apple Music videos that I am not aware of, but it seems as though changing the tag should allow it to sync. Perhaps it's an update away?

  • Can't get my embedded swf files to play in HTML file

    Hi there,
    I'm just  wondering why my swf files won't play when I upload them along with my  HTML file to the server.
    The problem can be seen at the  following URL:
    http://marthalodge.com/productDev.html
    I  inserted the swf in 'insert media' - 'shockwave' and the thing works  when I press play to view it within dreamweaver. However, when I try to  view it on a browser, either locally or remotely, it doesn't work.
    Does  anyone have a suggestion as to why this might be happening?
    Thanks,
    M

    Hi,
    I did what you suggested and again, nothing shows. You can see what I did at:
    http://marthalodge.com/ProdDev.html
    Do you have any idea why this is happening? I don't get any error report when I publish my swf from Flash.

  • Embedded audio doesn't play on iPad or iPhone

    I have embedded HTML code in my homepage for audio to play:
    <embed src="playit.mp3" autostart="true" loop="false" hidden="true"></embed>
    which plays OK on desktops and laptops, but does not play on iPads or iPhones.
    Does anyone else experience this with their embedded audio code?
    Is this phenomenon a quirk of iPad/iPhone that requires some special coding?
    All feedback welcome.

  • Soundcloud embedded player doesn't play sometimes

    I embedded the a soundcloud file in a website. It plays well in Chrome and IE, but not in Firefox 20.0.1.
    It should play HTML5 audio.
    There is a nice rotating image in the player, but no sound.
    The strange thing is: some files do play in Firefox (all do in Chrome and IE) and some don't. Anyone experiencing this odd behavior? And is there anything I can do?

    I too have the same problems despite all the support help. However these solutions do not seem to work. Have tried everything. Begin to wonder whether there is a solution?
