Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Video Gallery Problem

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

   You should have a flash player plugin for each browser, maybe one 
standalone & one IDE version.  You can't change the IDE version, but if 
this is different from the standalone one you may have problems.


   Ctrl + Enter will be the IDE one (Test Movie).

   If you double click a SWF outside of Flash, you are probably using 
the standalone.
  
   As an aside / for Jason - Kewbee Plugin Switcher is still a bit 
funny / a pain installing stuff, but it seems to be okay with everything 
but IE7 occasionally when it can't seem to install the latest version of 
the player properly...


   This may also be a problem with security - depending on your file 
locations and how you are viewing them.


   Have a look at the information here about security as you may have 
different settings for local, online and testing:


   
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html


   You can use the Manager to configure your player.

right click on the SWF and try to run with all the players but none of them
work. I am not expert in flash but isn't that true that if Fla file is
working by hitting ctrl+enter, the independent SWF file should also work.
And I used Action Script 3.0, shouldn't my file just work with player
9.0.r115 which is the most updated player. Please help me out in figuring
out where I am wrong.
I will highly appreciate your help.

   If you are on Windows, you can install Kewbee's Plugin Switcher to
see which versions of each are running.  Download from here:

   http://www.pluginswitcher.de/

   If you install it, start the program, wait for it to disappear, then
double click the icon that appears in your taskbar, you can see what
players are installed.

   If you want, you can also use this to switch versions of Flash
Player for testing in browsers, etc.  This is a bit tricky to set up -
you have to install a version of the Flash player for your browser, then
start each browser that uses it, then close the browser, then uninstall
the player for the browser and repeat for each version of the player you
want to use.

   You can download old flash players from the adobe site - when you
get upto version 8 & 9, there are different sub-versions for different
browsers - this confused me for a while...
