Trouble playing .swf - works offline in browser but not online on website

Hi there,
I'm having trouble displaying a flash .swf file properly on my website: http://dreamriderproductions.com/fun/game-test/
When I view the .swf file locally on Chrome, I get a text box to enter my name and I can click Go and keep playing the game. For some reason, when it's up on the website, there's no text box so I can't progress. Can you?
Background: The game did used to connect to a database, but the upgrade of our website (and relocation of the swf) seems to have broken the database connection. People couldn't progress past the first screen presumable because the information on which city they were in couldn't be submitted to the database. We've got a version of the game with the database connection disabled and so the game should now work - it works locally for me but not on the website!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sion

The code you have posted is not the same code as used in:
<div id="gallery">
in the link above.
The reason that the Flash is not displaying in FF is that the portion of the code used by FF was omitted. The code currently used on the page only works in IE.
I'm no great fan of the IE conditional statements used in the code you posted so I don't blame you for not using it. But you do need to provide something for FF.... the old, out dated method would be to add and <embed> for FF... here's the newer method..
So either use code you posted above or better yet, get rid of that and replace the current <object> with
<div id="gallery">
<object id="FlashID" data="flash/201.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="958" height="242">
   <param name="movie" value="flash/201.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0"/>
</object>
</div>
Give that a try. Will work in both FF and newer IE versions.
Best wishes,

  • Swf works in Flash App but not online!

    Hi Guys,
    I am sitting with a situation I cannot figure out.
    In The Flash Application, my gallery is working as it is meant to. Yet, when I upload the swf to the live site, the first image, text and movie of my gallery works but it refuses to scroll to the next item in my XML.
    I have given it an absolute path to that server which works in Flash but not when it is online.
    Has someone come across this anomaly before? I don't even know where to begin debugging.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Better u check the XML image names and the image path are correct.
    becoz case sensitive in online..

  • Load swf works in Publish Preview but not when published

    Hi Folks,
    I having a problem where im trying to load two 1mb SWF movies into my Flash piece. It works fine in Publish Preview but not when I finally publish. I get this error in IE:
    SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
    I have googled around and there is some talk online of a hack where by you get a timeout to overcome this. However im not so technical do I dont really know how to do this to my code in AS3. My code at the moment is below.
    Any help would be much appreciated and rewarded with Karma
    movieClip_12.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9);
    var fl_Loader_9:Loader;
    //This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
    var fl_ToLoad_9:Boolean = true;
    function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9(event:MouseEvent):void
    if(fl_ToLoad_9)
      fl_Loader_9 = new Loader();
      fl_Loader_9.load(new URLRequest("search.swf"));
      addChild(fl_Loader_9);
    else
      fl_Loader_9.unload();
      removeChild(fl_Loader_9);
      fl_Loader_9 = null;
    // Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
    fl_ToLoad_9 = !fl_ToLoad_9;

      fl_Loader_10 = null;
    // Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
    fl_ToLoad_10 = !fl_ToLoad_10;

    I think this is either a problem with my site preLoader or my external .swf Loader. I was checking out the bandwith profiler and saw something weird and I wondered if anyone could explain...I've added a picture. I have a blank frame on only my actions layer to export classes to and it seems that frame 2 is "bleeding" into frame 1. Could this be my problem? Why would this happen? Thanks

  • The outlook calendar from work shows on iPhone but not on iCloud website or iMac

    I have an iMac running latest OS, iPhone 5S running latest OS. The outlook calendar from my work pushes out to iPhone, and my iPad, but not to the iCloud website and not to the iMac.
    Any ideas??

    The only calendar which should be showing in Outlook is the iCloud calendar.  The other calendars if showing are local to your machine.  If you have to move the events you are creating in Outlook to iCloud, the wrong calendar is being used when you set up the event.

  • Web package, containing mix of html/js/swf, works off remote server but not locally

    I have been using Cisco certification training materials for
    months now and have had no problems. Except today.
    The front index.html page, which links to swf content,
    stopped redirecting me to individual chapters.
    Normally, I get a front page, containing flash animation, and
    a drop down list of chapters. On picking a chapter, a new,
    full-screen browser window opens up. Now, I get the front page,
    with its flash animation, but when I pick a chapter, nothing
    happens. (The big window does not open up.)
    I am using Firefox 2.0.0.13 on an intel-based macbook pro.
    I have flash player MAC 9,0,124,0 installed (it was ,115 but
    I installed the new version in the hopes that it would fix the
    problem - to no avail).
    Nothing in my machine or setup has changed.
    The Error Console of firefox reports:
    Error: Warning: unrecognized command line flag
    -psn_0_14942209
    Source File:
    file:///Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js
    Line: 706
    This seems to be a javascript problem ? But javascript does
    not give errors on other pages. I think it may be a problem of
    interaction between javascript and flash.
    NOTHING has changed on my laptop since I last used the Cisco
    training materials on 10 April. This is very baffling to me!
    My hunch is that some software was updated on my machine -
    probably flash software - and this has impacted the application.
    I have tried the following:
    - tried running the material on Safari, but had exactly the
    same behaviour as above. However, I never tried running the
    material on Safari, so I cannot say that it worked before.
    - tried running the material on a Windows Parallels emulator
    on the mac, and had exactly the same behaviour as above. Again, it
    had never worked on that platform/environment.
    - i installed a debug version of the flash player - there
    were no odd messages in the log at all.
    - i uninstalled flash and then reinstalled an older version -
    same behaviour.
    - i noticed that the Error console lists a lot of warning
    messages to do with Javascript.
    - i ran the materials off the official Cisco server, not from
    a local copy as detailed above. i had no problems (a big window
    opened up).
    HELP!

    These files are 404 not found on server.  Did you upload them?

  • Any idea why .swf works in "simulate download" but not when Published?

    Hi,
    I have a project where I have a main project which loads external .swfs, and those external .swfs in turn load more external .swfs. In my main project, everything works perfectly when I preview using simulate download, but once the .swf is published it doesn't work properly. I'm assuming is has something to do with my main site Preloader, that's why I posted here. I'm pasting the code here and attaching the latest size report. Any ideas or help is appreciated!
    extLoader_mc._visible = false;
    var yChange = 109.2;
    var yStart = 330.2;
    myInterval = setInterval(preload,100);
    function preload() {
    var current = _root.getBytesLoaded();
    var total = _root.getBytesTotal();
    var pctLoaded = Math.round(current/total*100);
    mask_mc._y = yStart - yChange/100*pctLoaded;
    if (current >= total) {
      clearInterval(myInterval);
      _root.gotoAndStop("Main_1");

    I think this is either a problem with my site preLoader or my external .swf Loader. I was checking out the bandwith profiler and saw something weird and I wondered if anyone could explain...I've added a picture. I have a blank frame on only my actions layer to export classes to and it seems that frame 2 is "bleeding" into frame 1. Could this be my problem? Why would this happen? Thanks

  • Why would hotspots work in the browser, but not in Device Central?

    I exported a small prototype from Fireworks CS5 to HTML & Images & tested my hotspots in my Firefox browser.  That worked fine.
    Then in Device Central CS5 I did File > Open File & selected the home page for this protototype.  None of the hotspots worked in Device Central.
    Any clues?  Shouldn't they work in Device Central?

    Please forgive me.  This is working.  I didn't notice because the page changed so smoothly & I  couldn't see the part of the page that indicated it changed.  Yeah it works!

  • SWF works fine in IE but not in QT COM flash player

    Dear all,
    I am writing a QT application which needs to display a SWF file. I finished and tried to display a sample SWF file (a.swf) downloaded from internet and result was OK.
    Now I started to write my own SWF file (b.swf) using Action Script 3 and compiled with MXMLC. But b.swf could not be displayed into my QT application.
    What is strange is that both a.swf and b.swf could be displayed in IE.
    Could anybody guess what the reason would be, please?  Thanks in advance.

    Problem solved. What happened is that my image was not big enough to be seen in a small window so it appears as if the image was not loaded at all.

  • Works on my computer but not online

    Hello for everyone!
    I have this kind of problem: I have done a website that's
    using exactly the same code as Shane Rebenschied's lynda.com
    tutorial "Intermediate macromedia flash".
    Everything works fine when I test it offline but when I
    upload it to a server LoadVars-object fails to load textfiles to
    textfield.
    I have checked everything I can possible imagine. Filepaths
    are exactly the same on server as they are on my computer's
    harddrive.
    Here is the code if anyone can work this out:
    //--------------<LoadVars>-----------\\
    var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    myLV.onLoad = function (success) {
    if(success) {
    _level5.loadedInfo.htmlText = myLV.info;
    } else {
    _level5.loadedInfo.text = "Error when loading information.
    Please report this error to webmaster.";
    //--------------</LoadVars>-----------\\
    Online it gives me that error that I have written. Offline
    everything works beautifully.
    I have checked all FTP-issues etc. Files on server are
    exactly the same as on my harddisk.
    Hope someone can help me. This site should be published now!
    Thanks in advance,
    Samuel Ranta

    I have the same problem. The swf file plays ok in
    Dreamweaver but if I preview it in the browser, it's not there! If
    I go to 'window' (menu bar) > Activity, it says 'my site
    URL/favicon.ico not found
    I've put favicon into the adobe knowledgebase search but
    nothing's found.
    I'm new to flash. not sure if there's something I'm not
    putting on the server that should be put on there.
    I put the .swf file and the AC_RunActiveContent.js file up
    there..
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
    Any pointers gratefully received.

  • Navigational Bar Works Perfect In iWeb, But Not Online...

    To whom it may concern,
      I am having an issue with the navigational bar working online with my website. In iWeb everything looks and works perfect when tested and all hyperlinks are active, but when it is published the Home page is all that comes up and the Navigational menu will not highlight, show rollover, turn the cursor into a hand, or open the other pages. I have tried to fix the issue, unsuccesfully, by arraging differently, removing the custom toolbar, making sure nothing is layered improperly, etc..getting frustrated and need help.
       The Website is: http://wicked-waters.com/Wicked_Waters/Home.html
    Thank you in advance!

    Yes, frustration. iWeb has that effect on people.
    Anyway, this is covering the links :

  • Button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf

    Captivate 6, button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf, the cursor changes the “the hand” but the hyperlink does not redirect.
    Any ideas?
    Like I said my buttons work great in preview mode after publishing, one click and the PDF opens in a new browser window. Open the project through the published .swf files and the links will not work.
    Using Captivate 6 on WIndows 7

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Once your project published, add the .swf file in Flash Global Setting :
    1) Right Click on the content (Published .swf file) and click on Global Settings
    2) Go to Advanced Tab and Click on Trusted Location Settings  (Scrool down to see this button)
    3) Click on "Add" button and then "Add file", browse for the Captivate 6 published file and click on OK
    4) Launch the .htm file again (Location where Captivate publish your project)
    Hope this helps !!
    Thanks,

  • Actionscript works in IDE,projector but not SWF

    Hello, I'm atempting to create a swf that loads in a
    controller swf and accesses some of the information contained
    within the load swf. My main timeline is pretty simple.
    var preloader_mc:MovieClip =
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("preloader_mc",
    this.getNextHighestDepth());
    var labelcontainer:MovieClip =
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
    var label:TextField = labelcontainer.createTextField("label",
    1, 0, 365, 150, 20);
    var TOCcontainer:MovieClip =
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("TOCcontainer",
    this.getNextHighestDepth());
    var TOClabel:TextField =
    TOCcontainer.createTextField("TOClabel", 1, 0, 300, 150, 20);
    then I have an onenter frame function that access the
    variable contained within the loaded swf.
    loadMovie("xml_controller.swf", preloader_mc);
    onEnterFrame = function () {
    vTime =
    this.preloader_mc.container.controlBar.timeView.label.value;
    this.label.text = vTime
    When I test the movie I see the time displayed and everything
    is ok. When I create a projector file I see the time display. When
    I try to run the swf, in a browser or straight from explorer All I
    see is undefined for the values.
    Anybody have any ideas why this would work in two
    environments but not the third?

    I saw this issue with a website I did. Sometimes the code
    would work no problem in the projector but fail when I published to
    the site.
    Does the xml_controller.swf refer to _root anywhere? If you
    have not locked the root and there is something it needs to access
    locally it won't be able to find the item because the _root it is
    referring to is now the load.swf movie

  • Site works in the app, but not in the browser.

    Hello iWeb experts,
    I've got problems.
    Last night I published my site. And while it appears, and functions, properly in my iWeb app, it doesn't do the same in Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
    Two issues...
    FONTS
    I chose Bellamie, Univers Condensed, and Marydale as my fonts. From reading these forums, I've discovered those won't wysiwyg on other computers if the fonts aren't available and open on them. So my two choices are to make every bit of text a graphic or to use a set of more universal fonts, correct? So my questions are...One, is there a list somewhere of fonts that will work in any browser? And, two, is there a short-cut, or easy way to transform type into a graphic without having to create image files?
    FUNCTIONS
    Here are the functions that work fine in iWeb but have gone haywire in all of the browsers I tested...
    • The type in one nav link appears smaller than all the rest.
    • Some links are active, others are not.
    • Rollover highlighting works on some links, but not others.
    • Most of the rollover links appear in the proper static color, a few do not.
    I've tested these functions on three Macs, one PC, and in the three browsers mentioned above. All of them show the exact same problems. So something must be going wrong with iWebs coding, or my host server musn't like iWeb.
    Any thoughts, suggestions on these two issues? Thanks much for any advice.
    John

    When I drag across your page most of your links do not change. The "text" portion of them doesn't change, either. Something is covering them.
    I can see that. But for the life of me, I don't know what could be covering those links. In my app, when I click in the area of the links, the type is the first item selected. Unless, possibly, it could somehow be the faint reflection of my black-and-white image (me & the ground I stand on). Hmmm...

    Single click (outside the boundaries of your page contents) and an "outline" will appear. It shows the image file dimensions and locations.
    This I don't see. An outline? As in "an object outline," or as in "a list of dimensions and locations?" When I click outside my page contents, I get nothing.
    Thanks, QTK. I truly appreciate your troubleshooting here.
