Professional :: F4v Won't Load In Firefox The First Time
Nov 7, 2010
I have created a swf movie file that containes the movie playback panel & a f4v video & I have uploaded them to a subfolder on my server.The whole site has a secure connection (https), but the page that i will try to embed the movie will have a regualr connection (http).
The problem arises when i do embed this flash video in a HTML file. in IE & Chrome it works and looks great, But in firefox it doesnt. If i clear my cache (as if i were a new visitor to the site) and enter the page, the movie isn't displayed at all...is shows "done" in the browser loading bar.
After about a minute or so (which i assume is the amount of time it takes to load the full movie), i hit refresh, and the movie appears fully loaded.
The movie is currently embeded in my homepage (via Iframe - for site protocol reasons), and if it wont load immidiatly from the first time a user enters the site, many users will miss the video (and get a blank white box in the middle of the site).[URL]
I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback. I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large? Some vitals: I'm using Flash Pro CS5 - To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file) - Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file
I have this project were I load PHP vars from a mySql database into flash and I have been facing lots of problem on it.But now I'm completely lost. I got this bug that my game only load php info if the broser is firefox. I tried on IE and chrome and it does not work. All my info does not load.
Flash will ONLY load when it becomes into view on the screen For example, it won't load a Flashmove that is at the bottom of the page INSTEAD: it will ONLY load when that part of the screen comes into view
- Older Flash, ver 7 and below, this isn't a problem - Newer Flash, ver 8 and above: problem
have just built a website in Dreamweaver CS4 which has a different Flash banner on each page with a fade in/out text. My problem is that in Firefox the whole screen flashes white for a second when moving from page to page. It seems to work fine in IE. The link is [URL]
I have a basic site for an old age home. Recently I decided to put a Flash Movie on the Homepage but even though all files are loaded and links correct it won't show in either IE or Firefox...
The movie should be loading here (...bellvilleseniorsentrum.com/engels/home.html)
There is a white space where the movie should be loading... But it doesn't...
I've done lots of sites with the same kind of movies and they all work fine... But this ons just doesn't work. It views fine when I test it on my computer but as soon as I load it - nothing...
I have a Flash movie that behaves as follows:Movie loads > tries to load an XML file using URLLoader.load() > uses the data in the XML to load some images into the movie.The requirement was for updates to the XML file to be picked up within 10 minutes, so I have added a querystring parameter to the XML URL which is a timestamp to the nearest ten minutes, e.g.1-40**This all works for me as expected in IE and Chrome, and it works locally for me in Firefox. However, on our production server (IIS) in Firefox, the following behaviour occurs (by observing Firebug):First load:SWF loads > XML Requested and loads > images requested and loadSubsequent page loads:SWF Loads > no request for the XML (no request shown in Firebug)Firebug shows the following information about the XML file from the first successful request:
Whenever a picture is supposed to load it shows a NaN% ( not a number ) I'm guessing something is wrong with my loader scripting. The pictures still load but there is no bar so when A client loads the large high res version they have no idea if its loading and the blow up effect I have just shrinks to 0.0 on the screen. I've been up all night
I have a simple xml file that I'm using to load images.[code]I'm using the name of the base tag as the name of the nav to load the images. So from the xml above the nav button would be "travel & lifestyle".I know flash removes the whitespace but what if I want whitespace there.The xml won't load and I get an error loading the xml file into Firefox"XML Parsing Error: not well-formed"How can I format the xml to keep the space.
I use flex builder to compile a single class to load an text data from the same domain.it works perfect in IE browser. But something is wrong with the firefox browser.take a look at the following code:
[URL] For reasons unknown to me, the xml gallery on the page above won't load in any of the images in Firefox. However it does work in IE7, as well as locally in Firefox, Safari and Opera. I have tried removing the whole site and re-uploading it, as well as updating the individual files separately but I still seem to have the same problem.
Trying to recode map program to utilise modest map rather than original hand made map routines. Finished up yesterday and had squashed bugs pretty much(annoying flicker issue but that didn't appear on another web browser I figure it's flash/browser related issue). Then I realised I need to try this in IE as well. And it doesn't work. Map loads up so modest map code is working. What is NOT working is everything else. It's supposed to track locations and draw arrows to their positions.
It doesn't go to where it's supposed to initially. No arrows are drawn. No control buttons from HTML side work. Nothing. Zip. I have suspicion it could be the ExternalInterface which works differently on firefox and IE. Could that be reason? If so how does one go detecting what browser I am using and how does one need to take that into account? Or is there something else that's different between IE and firefox I need to take into account?
IE itself only gives rather mystified error message. Message: Unspecified error(my translation since original is in Finnish) Line: 49 Column: 5 Code 0: [URL] Funny thing is both php file and output html file is 37 lines long...
Bug in Firefox if wmode is set to opaque or transparent.mouseUp is not triggered if mouseUp occurs offstage.I have slider code that should stopDrag on mouseUp, but if mouseUp occurs off stage, the slider stays connected to mouse on re-entry, even though the mouse is now up.Bug does not occur in other browsers, and does not occur if wmode is null.I have tried every variable and every fix I can think of, and can't resolve the issue.I have multiple versions now in AS2 and AS3 and I've followed every suggestion I've found online, including html/flash javascript. Nothing works yet.
I downloaded flash to my new computer and videos will work using IE but when I try with firefox it acts as if I don't have it installed (says "download flash here,etc. ) and videos wont play.
On the homepage [URL] I had a previously installed .swf that works fine on IE, Firefox etc...I added a new .swf "testimonials" on the page on right hand side but it will only work in IE?
I can not get my pages where I have swf files to open in firefox. I have several pages with sound also and they will not open. here is the code that I am using. I have probably 8 pages of flash and the rest of the pages are javascript and html.
I have a time line of 1441 frames my frameRate is 24 fps so it takes 1 minute exactly to complete the timeline animation I want to Display the Remaining time as file starts I need formula to place in ENTER_FRAME event which displays the time left
works perfect on my macbook pro (safari, firefox, and opera) but when I view the site on Vmare Fusion Windows XP and use IE and FireFox the pages don't load... I don't know what to make of this. Has anyone hear or seen anything like this happen before? BTW the website was created in Adobe Flash CS4/ AS 3.0 and published using Flash Player 10.
Firefox throws the flash file out of it's container? The page behaves correctly in IE8 (32bit). I posted in DW forums who suggested it was a flash issue and not DW. [URL]
I just did two 100% Flash sites. I always size my sites 1024 by 768 or a bit smaller. I have never had a problem with it not fitting in the browser. I exported with Flash HTML at 100%, no scale.I tested these sites on Safari and IE on different monitor sizes. They looked great.
Both of my clients are using Firefox said it cuts the bottom off by about and inch or so. I did some research and this seems Firefox does this. I read this article below and wanted to know the following:[URL]
1 - Is this the best way to fix it? Or have I developed these sites too big for FF.
2 - Is there something else I could do (i.e. export the HTML a different way?).
3 - Should I size differently in the future?I would like to prevent me having to resize the stage and change all the objects.
I'm creating a video site using the flvPlayback component and telling it which video to play based on flashvars. So far everything is working well in all the browsers I've tried except Firefox on the PC. In FF/PC it hangs on the first frame of the video while showing the buffering indicator.
I have a flash gallery I created using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3. It plays perfectly in FireFox, but in IE and Safari it just shows me a blank space on the page where the gallery should be. As a test I uninstalled Flash Player, and FireFox and Safari showed me the message that a newer version of Flash was needed along with a link to get it, but IE showed nothing. Now that Flash is re-installed, only FireFox actually loads/plays the gallery. With IE it doesn' tmatter if I use the 32-bit or 64-bit, or if compatibility mode is on or off. I tried republishing with Flash 9 set instead of Flash 10, but that made no difference. It fails with the HTML file generated out of Flash, as well as the page I created in Dreamweaver and used the Insert Media command to insert the .swf:
The project i'm working on contains many flv's which are dynamically loaded into our custom media player, and then again loaded into our flex application. We are having an issue with these flv's. Well i should say some of them. Our problem is based on browsers. In IE everything runs fine. In firefox, some work, some dont. We run different courses though our application. In 1 loaded course, the flv's play perfectly fine. No loading issues or delaying or freezing. But on this one course all of the flv's contained within it will not load. Like i said before, when we test this on IE they work. Only firefox is causing the issue. I have researched this issue and have came up empty handed.
So I haven't done much in flash in a while. However, I imported a new movie and then published the movie from flash and made an html page as well. For some reason I can not see the movie when I go to the page.
Please can someone help thsi old guy who needs to get flash working on his computer.I have Vista 64 bit and run Firefox as my browser.Should I uninstall Flash and try an older version - but which one?
I have built a Flash site and also set it up with alternate content so it can be viewed on iPhone and iPad as well as other mobile devices. It works great everywhere but in FireFox the site's swf loads on the page twice.Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, what have you done to work around this FireFox bug?
