Trying to install flash player- what am I doing wrong ?

Hi,
after a long period of inactivity due to serious health issues, I'm back on track and have created 3 new pages for my site ( www.innerspheresmusic.com).
On one of the new pages I'd like to install a flash player with one track. On my existing Audio page, there's a flash player which works really well in all browsers- thanks to the instructions in Roddy's iWeb for Musicians Ebook.
My way of working is to create the pages, *Publish to a Folder* in Documents, and check them in various browsers - via Safari/Develop/User Agent - before optimising and up loading with *Website Maestro*
However, although I've tried to embed the slimline version of the original player and because this didn't work, various other players from
http://www.instantshift.com/2010/02/10/21-free-music-players-for-your-website/
+I couldn't get any of them to work after publishing to the folder. Then it occurred to me that there must be something basic I've forgotten and am doing wrong .................. any ideas ?+
I duplicated the existing player from Audio onto one of the new pages and it worked. So I then tried to change the code, to install the new song .......... and it didn't work.
I'd be so grateful to see the light !
Thanks, SeaDream

Thanks - but what I've forgotten is how to get the flash player + audio files onto the server. By pasting the HTML code in the snippet box, thats part of it.
What I do to upload is to click on Publish in iWeb and then my FTP prgramme- WSM takes over. I click the *Optimise and Upload* button in WSM ........... and the iWeb pages do their own thing and mysteriously end up- much time later -on the web.
_Where is the music file supposed to actually 'be', so that it gets uploaded too ?_
I tried dragging it onto the page prior to uploading but then a Quicktime player wants to install itself.

  • Macromedia Flash Player, what am I doing wrong?

    I'm a simp and I'm stumped! I used to be able to watch videos on youtube but now when I go there I get the message: "Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia Flash Player". I have no idea (and I've been looking) how to get info on turning on Javascript and when I go to the link and try to download a newer version of Flash Player it goes to a page saying: "Not found - The requested URL/flashplayer etc., was not found on this server". What did I do to screw things up? What am I doing wrong? What can I do to fix this so I can watch videos again?

    Hi, Jupie -
    Re Sherlock, it sounds like you may be activating a network search instead of searching on your hard drive.
    Check which of the icons in the upper section of Sherlock's window is highlighted - has a greenish border added to it. If your search is to be of the local volume(s) (drives), be sure the icon that looks like an external hard drive case is the one highlighted. If the one that looks like a globe is highlighted, Sherlock will attempt a network search.
    Re increasing the memory allocation for a program - it really isn't difficult, nor should it be risky in any way. Here's how to do it -
    First, quit the program if it's running.
    Then click once on the icon of the program itself, not on an alias to it. If you customarily use an alias to activate the program, a quick way to het to the original is to click once on the alias, then press Command-R (Show Original from the File menu). This will open the folder containing the original, no matter how deeply it is buried, and highlight the original. Then all you need do is press Command-I (Get Info from the File menu).
    Select Get Info from the File menu (if you've not already done that), and then select Memory from the pulldown menu in the Get Info window.
    In the new pane, at the bottom, are three boxes with numbers in them - the one you want to change is the last one, labelled Preferred.
    For most programs, an increase of 50% is a good starting point; for small apps like control panels and printing software, doubling is okay; for browsers, email apps, and graphics apps, try at least doubling or tripling the original Preferred amount to start with.
    Replace the old number in the box with the new one - no commas - close the window, and you're done.
    There are a few tricks you can do with Sherlock - for example, restricting its search to just a single folder. This can be very handy to save time when doing a Find By Content search.

  • Flash Player - What Am I Doing Wrong??!

    I am having huge problems installing the latest version of Flash
    Player.
    I am a Windows Vista User and basically a couple of months
    ago I was surfing the net & was prompted to Install the latest
    version of Flash Player. So I clicked the link & it took me to
    the Install Page. I proceeded with the Install, passed the Active X
    part & then was taken to a new screen with a small video clip
    on repeat saying Flash Player Installed Sucessfully. I was then
    asked to restart all Internet Explorer windows that were currently
    open which I did. I presumed everything was ok & the new Flash
    Player would be ready for action.
    I was wrong, I then tried doing it again, and again, and
    again...you get the picture!! Basically I reckon Ive went through
    the above process around 20-30 times now with no luck what so
    ever!!
    I feel like Im at a dead end!!
    Can anyone help me!?
    P.S - I DO NOT want to use Firefox.
    Thanks

  • Trying to install flash player on Mac  OS 10.6 .

    Trying to install flash player on Mac  OS 10.6 w/Safari.  Ran uninstaller.  In troubleshooting guide, no version comes up in the box, and no error message. I have unblocked cookies and pop-ups. No firewall. Still, the download bar runs to completion, and then nothing. Help?
    UPdate: called my local Apple Geek, and he said go to finder, click on adobe download, and go from there. Got the install icon, and its installed. 2 minutes versus the 2 hours I spent on the Adobe troubleshooting page. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. Or have a beer. Anyway, thanks for reading and good luck.

    I have tried about twenty times to install the Adobe Flash Player on my Mac. I had Adobe malware previously when responding to a fake popup Adobe update request.
    In orfer to install now I am asked to disable my anti virus. If I do it would be permanent. I get the Adobe download and installer and even see I have an installed version in a box on the Adobe page but cannot access pdf's that require the player.

    You already have most current version of Adobe (Shockwave Flash): version 10.0.45.2
    The instructions on the Adobe site are out-of-date and incorrect.
    You can download the Adobe Download Manager if you wish, but it has caused some problems, and I would advise against it. See the following for information on Adobe DLM:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+do+I+edit+options+to+add+Adobe+to+the+list+of+allowed+sites
    '''You have the Adobe DLM''' listed in your plug-ins; '''''getplusplusadobe16263'''''
    See:
    <u>'''Uninstall Adobe Download Manager'''</u>
    It has caused problems for many users. In the following article, scroll to near the bottom and follow the instructions under the heading "Getting rid of GetPlus":

    *<u>'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7'''</u> you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
    *'''<u>NOTE for IE:</u>''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.

    Hello,
    You'll need to install Flash Player 10.3.183.90, the last version supported for OS X 10.5.8. Download the archive zip file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.z ip, and extract the contents. Then navigate inside the 10_3_r183_90 directory and use the file named flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.

  • I have a mac computer.  I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

    I have a mac computer that uses no password.  When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes  Type your password to allow this.  I can't get past this message.

    Hi,
    To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password.  Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank.  Hope this helps.

    If you go to the control panel the player is installed. But thigs like iplayer do not recognise it as being installed.

    The message is clear: "Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled".  Did you check if it's enabled:
