Flash Video Not Playing

Aug 24, 2006 6:42 PM

On this page: http://www.steigerfamily.net/2005/10/09/shark-attach-in-aruba/

The flash video which is playing through a swf file is not playing. It used to play and all of sudden it stopped working for no reason. I doubled checked the mime settings and those are all set correctly.

What could be the issue and how do I resolve it?

thank you

    Correct....

    theshark.swf is calling the .flv file (this file worked several months ago and I didn't even bother to look at it since then till I was browsing around today, and I had a client ask me about this as well.)


    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase=" http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0" width="326" height="282" id="theshark" align="middle"></p>
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="theshark.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <embed src="theshark.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="326" height="282" name="theshark" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /><br />
    </object>

    Did you upgrade to flash 9 recently by chance? I noticed some videos stopped working on my site as well and tested on a computer with Flash 8 and it worked but on the computer with flash 9 it was broken. Same for a coworker.

    Good question? I have not upgraded and I am still on Flash 8.

    Any other thoughts -- again, it was working and then stopped working?

    Here is the problem as I see it. Acording to the code this should be the location of the swf file:
    http://www.steigerfamily.net/2005/10/09/shark-attach-in-aruba/theshark .swf
    but on your server the file is actually here:
    http://www.steigerfamily.net/theshark.swf

    So I think you need to adjust the location of the swf file in your code for it to work. It seems like the page was moved and that caused it to stop working:


    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase=" http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0" width="326" height="282" id="theshark" align="middle"></p>
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="../../../..theshark.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <embed src="../../../../theshark.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="326" height="282" name="theshark" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /><br />
    </object>


    Ps - not sure if ti should be:
    ../../../../theshark.swf
    or
    http://www.steigerfamily.net/theshark.swf
