Why can i see the Flash animation that I have embedded in a Director movie only on some computers?

The SWF file is linked and plays on my computer and on one of the intended computers but not the others even though they are similarly configured (my computer is completely different and I also have the entire Adobe Master Suite along with Director the other machines essentially just have M$ Office). The Director movie has a SWF with the following asset properties:
Media: Linked, Yes; Preload, Yes
Playback: Image, Yes; Paused/Sound/Loop/Direct to Stage, all No
Quality: High
Scale Mode: Auto-Size
Rate: Normal
Scale: 100%
The SWF file is located in the same folder as the projector.
I'm using Director 11.5. The end users are on several corporate laptops that are all configured the same to begin with. They are all running Windows XP and of course do not have Director installed on them. I know the file works as it is intended to on the one computer but the rest all fail in a similar way (not including mine obviously which works fine). This to me says that it was published and created correctly but something is missing or setup wrong on those computers which is keeping it from displaying properly.
Here's the part that is really killing me, I had some extra time one day and sat down for several hours trying different things (installing Flash players, Shockwave players, basically taking shots in the dark with the thought that the computers were missing some plugin, etc) trying to get it to run appropriately and... I figured it out!! Unfortunately I didn't have the time or permissions to repeat the process on the other laptops and now (7-8 weeks later) I can't figure out what I did to make the first one work. I know it's possible and I know it works on that laptop, but when I try using the exact same files/folder on the other laptops it gets to the frame where the animation is supposed to play and it just shows a little repeating elipses (...) animation in the corner. At first I took this to mean it was loading so I waited and waited but it never loads anything. The laptop that works shows the animation immediately and perfectly.

Hi,
sorry for my English
I think Your Local Path Stored in Member ex:"D:\\...." In Client machine that path is not available so
Use Script
member("xx").filename = _movie.path&"Foldername/filename.swf"
or
Import swf in local cast
or
If you are not use Projector.Use Shockwave html then use DSWMEDIA folder to store swf file.
member("xx").filename = _movie.path&"DSWMEDIA/filename.swf"

  • HT2729 Why can't I sync my flim That I have already bought from my iPhone to my iPad

    Why can't I sync my flim that I have already bought for my I phone4 to my new iPad 2

    I'm having the same issue and the books I'm wanting to sync are checked. It worked on previous audiobooks that I had. In fact, I just finished the two that I had loaded and want to load two more. I only keep two books (4 files) on the device to conserve space. I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3. there is 3GB free on the iPhone and I don't get any errors when syncing. My music is syncing fine and the books that unchecked were removed from my phone.
    I just tried to resync with one of the books that had previously been on my phone. It will not reload on there either. Here's a screen shot of iTunes and below that is the screen shot from my phone after syncing. Thanks for any help.

    If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative  application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application.  Then install CS6 and use your CS6  serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for.   CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates.  Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6.  Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...

  • Itunes can't see the Airport Express that I'm connecting to... Wierd

    I have my AE set up as a WAP on an ethernet system. I have iTunes over ethernet selected, but now my wireless box can't see the AE even though I'm sending this note over the AE. Does selecting iTunes over ethernet disable the iTunes over wireless?
    The AE is connected to a router, so it is not distributing IP addresses.
    I guess that I should also mention that it's preventing me from seeing other machines on the network and sharing my library.
    Help??

    Unless you've explicitly disabled "Distribute IP addresses" using Airport Admin Utility, your Express is set up as a router and is distributing IP addresses, which is consistent with the fact that you can't see the other machines.

  • How can I transfer the e-mails that I have sent from my OUTBOX in a webserver to Thunderbird?

    I have an e-mail account in a webserver (STRATO Communicator), and I want to transfer all my e-mails to Thunderbird.
    I have installed Thunderbird, and I have managed to transfer all the e-mails from my INBOX from the webserver to Thunderbird.
    However, I do not know how I can also transfer all the e-mails that I have sent from my OUTBOX in the webserver (STRATO Communicator) to Thunderbird as well.
    Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance!

    Pop mail accounts can only access the Inbox on the server.
    So if you are using a Pop mail account then there is a workaround.
    In Thunderbird
    Move all emails out of Inbox into other suitable folders for organising.
    This makes it easy to detect the 'outbox' emails.
    Logon to webmail account and move all emails from Outbox to Inbox
    then in Thunderbird use Get Messages to download those emails.
    You can then move those emails into a suitable folder like 'Sent'.
    Please note than in Thunderbird, the account Sent folder keeps a record of what was sent by you.
    The 'Outbox' located in Local Folders, is the Outbox for all mail accounts in Thunderbird. It is not a place to store emails.
    In Thunderbird, when you select 'Send', it sends email immediately and puts copy in 'Sent' folder. However, if you use 'Send Later', it puts email in 'Outbox' ready to go when you select 'Send unsent messages', at which point copies are stored in 'Sent' folder and removed from 'Outbox'.

  • Why can't  see the configArchive  directory in domain ?

    hi,everyone,
    I have constructed some wls domain such domain-a,domain-b,domain-c using the same configure wizard of wls8.1sp2,and
    found one strange thing:
    after running several weeks,within domain-a ,i found domian-a/configArchive directory ,but can't find it in
    domain-b and domain-c ,for all three domains, i have changed the domain config and setup the Administration Server
    archives up to 10 previous versions of config.xml(In the domain Configuration->General tab:Archive Configuration Count
    box,).
    according to WLS8.12 docuement ,when change the domain configuration, the wls server will backup configure.xml to
    domain-name/configArchive directory.
    My question is : why some domain don't create configArchive directory and others can do it automatic ? Need i
    create configArchive directory manually or do other things ?
    thanks a lot.
    Great Lou

    Gopal,thanks a lot.
    I am using weblogic8.1sp2 also. I just changed item "Enable SSL Port" ,and found that configArchive directory
    was created.
    This really made me confusing :My domains are running in product environment for long time,I had changed some
    domain configure to tuning performance ,some change made by directly edit config.xml,others made by weblogic
    console, but I can't see configArchive directory until today.
    Anyway ,now config.xml-backup works normal,Let it be...
    Great Lou

    Lou,
    Thats right. If the changes you do through weblogic console modifies config.xml, then config.xml should automatically be archived in configArchive directory.
    What version of weblogic you are on ? We are using weblogic 81sp2 which works as mentioned in the documentation.

  • Why can I see the contents of a pages file in the thumbnail but it is blank when I open it? I am using a MacBook running MacOSX 10.7.3 and Pages 4.1 (09)

    My daughter has a MacBook with locked software provided by her school. All week she has been working on her homework in Pages but today when she goes to open the files they are all blank, although the thumbnails show the content and the bottom of the screen shows the number of
    Ages and words. We justcan't see them. Can anyone help her please?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • How can I see the phone number that a contact used to call me?

    I have several contacts in the addressbook of my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) for which I have entered multiple phone numbers. In the call history the names of my contacts are shown, which is fine. To call someone back based on the history  I would like to know which number was used to call me. Is there a way to get to this information?

    It will say "mobile" Home", etc under the name.
    You can also tap the blue arrow and see the highlighted number.
