eroc said 1 year, 1 month ago:
I created a flash video in Flash cs5.5 and inserted it into Dreamweaver cs5.5 the file plays fine from local but when i upload it to the server it won’t play i just get a white box where the video should be. Can anyone help i’ve been threw the forums and couldn’t find anything like what i’m dealing with.

Generally, an issue like this usually occurs when the file in question is not uploaded to your hosting account or is in an incorrect format. I would recommend ensuring that the file is located in the correct directory and is referenced correctly on your page. Also ensure that the file-name is in a correct format as well (no spaces).
If you are still not able to see the file, please contact our 24/7 Support Team so they may take a look at your account specifically.

spaces… that might be the problem let me try that

okay i corrected the file name and now i get the skin but still no video… on thing i might note is for some reason the F4V file that was used to make the SWF file won’t upload… I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it?

i redid all the files i converted a mov file into a F4V file in adobe then in flash recreated the flash player and move published as a SWF and insterted the SWF into Dreamweaver… still didn’t work and i don’t know if this has anything to do with it but the F4V file won’t upload i get an error msg

In case anyone reads threw this i FIXED THE PROBLEM… Turns out my browser or there servers or something is not ready for F4V format (new adobe flash format) i changed the file to FLv then created the SWF file with it and it worked perfect… So… Just thought i’d post that in case anyone else was having problems…
