  • Movie not loaded on Win 7 - 64bit

    Hi all,
    this question is in a similar thread as this:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4184624
    However i have been unable to resolve this issue as the previous poster was.
    i have completed 3 separate OS installs of windows 7 (2-64bit installs and 1-32bit install).  However i have been unable to resolve my flash problems.  Here is the details:
    System:
    -AMD x2 athlon
    -Asus m2-a vm motherboard
    -6gb ddr2 ram
    -realtek 1gb nic
    -xfx nvidia 9600gt
    - windows 7
    -IE 8/9 attempted
    -Chrome attempted
    I have so far been unable to get the flash player to load at all.  I have tried to load the offline installer as admin user context, and no luck [when i say load i mean the flash player itself, installation of flash has succeeded everytime without issues as have uninstallations.] .  I have tried older installers with no luck.  i have also tried different browsers.  not one combination has worked.  I've tried clearing settings on the local 32-bit control panel.  However I can't disable the hardware rendering because of the fact it never loads the applet on any of the status pages for me to access.
    At current, i have reloaded windows 7 64-bit and am looking for a more in depth answer to see if any ini files or reg settings exist for setting these to software only rendering.  However I am not entirely convinced that this is the problem.  I think the problem maybe more related to the player specifically not loading the movies or not even properly running the appropriate installed dll`s.
    Before you ask, latest nvidia drivers loaded and flash is enabled in add-ons as many of the others have suggested.  Please help, this has eaten up a week of my mind now.
    Also should note all MS important patches are installed as of 4/8/2012 - and Service Pack 1 is installed on Windows.  I've also just completed installing IE 9 on this fresh build of windows 7 64-bit.  I've also installed Chrome, this morning and it also received the error "movie not loaded".  I'm also using the latest version of 64-bit FLASH (11.x.x.x.x) version that was downloaded this morning. 
    So I'm now at a stopping point.  I cannot use Amazon at all, or Youtube.  It appears to load the plugin on some level as I can see the youtube videobox in black and then when I try to right click, it shows "About Adobe Flash 11.xx.x.x.x" or "Movie not loaded"... Thanks again for any assistance you can provide on this.
    Update:
    After much looking on the forums, I'm now attempting to verify with another functional PC that the actual files are present.  I've found that the following files are present on the working system:
    The system having the problems appears to be missing alot of these files.  The OCX is the only file present.  I'm going to see if I can verify what happened here.  So hopefully this won't recur.  However it looks like there maybe an issue with the installer at this time.  I can't imagine how thougth when I've tried downloading the full offline installation version.

    This computer has two different versions of Flash Player for Internet Explorer and two different versions of Flash Player for other browsers.
    A clean install is recommended: 
    Windows
    Download the current 32 bit uninstaller    Uninstaller for 32 bit Operating Systems
    Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller 
    Restart Windows 
    Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window) 
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flas 
    %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player 
    %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
    Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems has been deleted.
    Download the following installer files:
    32 bit Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    32 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Physically disconnect from the Internet and run the installers.

  • Movie not load

    Guys,
    A little disturbin problem here.
    I am trying to understand plenty things at the same time
    here, so I'd really appreciate a breakdown of this concept.
    I have both Firefox n IE installed on my Lenovo - XP
    Professional laptop. I used Firefox as default and both could view
    flash movies.
    However, I had to work on a new project - which is quite in
    research stage; atleast for me. I installed Adobe CS3 Professional
    and I downloaded Chris Decker's DJ Native tool - A very good tool
    for embedding native components.
    I ran his sample tool and it was able to load the flash
    movie. However simultaneously I realised Firefox cant load Flash
    movie again, when I restored Firefox's flash plugin which
    downloaded Flash10.ocx, I can't load my flash movie in my native
    component tool again.
    Even though the tool recognized the presence of flash plugin
    but it wont display hence it says "Movie not loaded". Note, IE can
    also display these flash movies.
    My questions are:
    What are the most causes of that error "Movie not Loaded"?
    How is Shockwave different from Flash Player - emphasis on
    exclusivity; what one'll do n d other won't be able to do?
    kr,
    Nakel.

    Your published verion (as per File > Publish Settings) should go to a sub-folder called /web, under the project folder structure. Unless you explicitly change the 'Target' folder that is where it will go.
    One thing you may have done, and I suspect is the case, just go File > Save As and notice a new option to the bottom, left of the Save button, called 'Save in Folder'. This allows for multiple compositions to be saved separately instead of 'jumbling' all the items into a single location.

  • "Movie not loaded..." swf error on html

    Hi everybody!
    I have a problem when i export a swf and html in flash, because when i upload it to my server and try it online i get the message "Movie not loaded..." when i click in a blank window where it should have played.

    appreciate your help

    Thank you for the really quick answer
    When it opens the menu buttons should appear immediately such as small animation in loop and the file should load fast because is less than 400Kb.
    Well, the swf loads images and texts from xml files and also some tween animations in a folder. It seems everything is uploaded with the right path (i´m going to confirm that some more times).
    But also the site index with an .flv animation and 2 flash buttons without any external linkage isn´t appearing at http://www.dscdesign.org/

  • [Advanced] Sudden 'Movie not loaded' error with multi-swf flex application

    Hello!
    We've stumbled across a very strange problem, which we can't reproduce regulary, and therefore can't find a way to debug it.
    Our flex application consists of multiple .swf-files, each containing a piece of functionality we call module (though it's not a regular flex module), which interact with other modules in the application.
    But sometimes user interaction lead to the following problem. Some block of the application (which originated from certain module) becomes black, and right-clicking on it brings 'Movie not loaded' context menu item. After some time, the whole application becomes 'not loaded'.
    I have no idea of the cause of such a behaviour. I suppose some changes were introduced in Flash Player 10.2 - we didn't experience this problem before.
    Adobe guys, may you direct us and give us an advice on how to debug such a problem, and what might be a cause?
    It look like this:
    1)
    (in black area was a window similar to the one in background)
    2)
    (After right-click. You can see flash player version here)
    We're completely lost, and will really appreciate any help or advice.

    use an online tracer and network monitor to see what you're doing.

  • Movie Not Loaded Error In Firefox

    Good day
    When I try and view a video in Firefox on YouTube or other sites, right clicking the video gives me a "movie not loaded..." error and the video does not load. Examples include videos from You Tube and Digg video.
    My Specs:
    - Firefox version 28.0
    - Flash version 13.0.0.182
    - OS Windows 7
    Particularities:
    - When I change the YouTube link to https, then the You Tube video works (still does not work on Digg)
    - The videos seem to work using Internet Explorer
    - When I disable Flash addon from Firefox, then the video works
    What I have Done:
    - I have reinstalled Firefox
    - I have done a complete uninstall and done a clean install of Fash per the instructions from Adobe site
    - I have cleared the Flash cache/files
    - I have cleared Firefox cache
    - I have changed the Flash settings increasing memory size by right clicking
    - I have restarted Firefox in safe mode
    None of these solutions have worked for me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Also make sure that your security (anti-virus) software isn't blocking this content or otherwise interfering.
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • 'movie not loaded' message appears if you right click on a non playing Flash image. Why? Using 3.6.10 and Flash 10.1. 82.76

    When trying to view a Flash image a blank blue square appears . If you right click on the blue square it show the message 'Movie not loaded'.

    Does that happen with all Flash object or only on that specific page?
    It is possible that there is a problem with the code or that hotlink protection via the referrer is used.
    Can you post a link?

  • Dw Templates - .dwt.php & Movie not loaded

    Hi,
    I'm in the middle of converting an existing website to .dwt for use with Contribute. All is going well, I have my editable regions working and my templates folder in the correct place.
    I've run into a few problems, the primary one being Flash.
    Dw is saving the templates as filename.dwt.php. They do function as you'd expect .dwt to function, but I can't find a reason for it doing this. Is this because they need to be .php files themselves to correctly use the code, or is this a setting I have somewhere? I've searched but I can't see details on this. Will this cause problems?
    Dw would connect to the root domain, but not to the host directory (not the first time it has happened, I swear it doesn't like me). I've double checked permissions and logins, but it keeps throwing a permissions/directory doesn't exist error. This is not a problem as such as I can browse to it from the root, but I thought it may have some impact on the following problem. It is definitely affecting the check in/check out functionality, but for setup this is tolerable. If anyone knows reasons why or how to fix it, I'd love to know.
    I had the files running on a local WAMP server. The template is *perfect*, exactly what I want the page/s based on it to look like. (Dw does throw a notification about placing editable regions inside a block level element and that meaning that users cannot create new blocks, which is fine by me, but might have some bearing?). In uneditable regions of the template there are two separate .swf files. When I view the template page, the files are visible and play as they are supposed to. When I view the page created from this template on the WAMP server, these areas collapse. When I view this page on the live test server, the areas are the correct size, but the movies do not play. A right click shows a greyed out notification of "movie not loaded". The page source shows that the links are relative and pointing to the correct place. The spry assets on the same page do load, all the other links work (relative), and I have checked that the .swf files are indeed on the server, working, and in the correct location. What could be causing the template-based page to malfunction like this? Am I missing something simple?
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time converting to templates and trying to get a site ready for Contribute and I would like to get a better understanding of why it is doing what it is doing. I've been going around in circles for hours and could really use a couple more heads on the matter.
    Cheers,
    Abbey

    Hi Bob.
    Yes, I am 100% sure; have just checked again. I cannot even

  • "Movie not loaded" for *some* sites, IE9, FlashPlayer 11, Win Vista

    Hello.  I am having an issue here with Internet Explorer 9, FlashPlayer 11, and Windows Vista.  Latest versions of Adobe Flash and Shockwave players as well.  Windows update is completely up-to-date and Java is at the latest version too.
    When attempting to access some websites, a grey or "invisible" box will be in place where there is supposed to be Flash content.  If you right click this, it will say "Movie not loaded"
    It does not do this for all web sites, however.  YouTube works, so does the little animation that displays over top of the "Adobe Flash Platform" under Products on the Flash web site.
    However, when havingating to the "About Adobe Flash" web site within the Flash web site, the Flash does not display the movie that is supposed to show at the top nor the version box.  Both of these say "Movie not loaded" if right-clicking where the Flash content should be.
    Other web sites like the Sirius/XM Radio web player and school corporation on-line software which teachers use to input students' grades to the master server with just show up blank as well with the "Movie not loaded" message if you right click on these web sites as well.
    I made sure Active-X filtering was disabled in the browser.  I also went in to the security groups and made sure active-x was disabled in all 4 categories.  I also tried running the Browser in un-protected mode.  None of this made a difference.  Also, Shockwave content is not disabled in add-ons.
    Why would certain Flash movies be playing but then not others?

    I just went back to the "about Flash Player" web site and the animation at the top as well as the version number displaying both worked.
    However the other sites such as www.seriusxm.com/player and the school corporation student grade on-line thing requiring Flash Player still show up as blank with the "movie not loaded" error being displayed in the box when you right-click the Flash content box (where the Flash content should be showing up)
    I have not made any changes.  I also tried running in Compatibility view, no difference.

  • Servlet streaming video to client, problem with Movie not loaded.

    Ok, I am sorry if this question is beyond the scope of Servlets/Java or J2EE but I figured it was worth a shot:
    I have two servlets, one is a very simple class consisting of a doGet which just calls doPost and the doPost which just plucks out a single parameter from the request and prints out some HTML. Here is the code:
         public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
                   throws ServletException, IOException {
              String videoDir = request.getParameter("directoryofvideo");
              response.setContentType("text/html");
              PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
              if (videoDir==null||videoDir.equals("")||!new File(videoDir).exists()) {
                   out.println("<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert(\"There was an error locating the selected videos\");</script>");
                   //return;
              out.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">");
              out.println("<HTML>");
              out.println("  <HEAD><TITLE>A Servlet</TITLE></HEAD>");

              out.flush();

         }In case that is hard to read, the HTML printed is this:
       <object id="player1" width="480" height="360" data="/MyApp/serveUploadedFile?url=//ns20/data3/Video/player_flv_maxi.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
        <param value="/MyApp/serveUploadedFile?url=//ns20/data3/Video/player_flv_maxi.swf" name="movie"/>
        <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"/>
        <param value="configxml=/MyApp/serveUploadedFile?url=//ns20/data3/Video/1.xml" name="FlashVars"/>
       </object>The second servlet, appropriately named: serveUploadedFile, reads in from the file off the file system and streams the data back to the client and I know it works because I can hit /MyApp/serveUploadedFile?url=//ns20/data3/Video/player_flv_maxi.swf and get the swf player but if you'd like to see the code I can copy and paste that in here as well.
    The problem is by page loads blank, all the html is written but in firebug the only thing actually downloaded to the client is the first swf player, and if I right click in the window it says "Movie Not Loaded" on Firefox, IE and Safari. I have a working example of a video that is hosted on our NAS with the exact same HTML (which is where I got that from) except the swf and xml files appear as just their names because they are in the same directory as the index.html.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much in advance.

    Also, I realize the parameter is not being used here that is because in order to eliminate possibilities of the problem I hard coded the path into the println statements and I am sure the path and all the files exist as well ;)

  • Preference Error: Could not load sharing preference pane

    For some reason my second computer (iMac 27) is no longer showing up on the left pane of any finder window on my MBP. The iMac is running Yosemite and the MBP is running Mavericks. So I open System preferences to see if there is a problem with "Sharing" on the MBP. I'm getting a Preference Error: Could not load sharing preference pane. Do I need to install the update to fix this? I'm not ready to commit to Yosemite completely. I build apps for iOS and Mac and really need to test in both OS environments.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
