Re: Flash Properties coding not displaying in browsers

I found this on the adobe site----this could help a lot of people in here.

I have installed Adobe Flash Player but still don't see any Flash content.
What

is wrong?

The most common reasons that Flash content fails to display are:

Restricted User accounts are unable to display Flash Player content
After successful installation under the Windows Administrator account,

Restricted User accounts are unable to display Flash Player content. This
issue

has been reported on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 systems and occurs

sporadically. It may also effect other versions of Windows, such as Windows

2000.

Users who installed Flash Player 8.0.24.0 prior to April 6, 2006 must
uninstall

using the Flash Player uninstaller released on May 11, 2006. Uninstall Flash

Player using the instructions in How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player

(TechNote 14157).

Flash Player detection failure with websites that use VBScript detection
Websites that use VBScript detection for Flash Player may fail in Microsoft

Internet Explorer. This VBScript detection issue is resolved by running the

Flash Player uninstaller released on May 11, 2006 (version 3.0.0.17) or
later,

and reinstalling the latest Flash Player. For more information regarding this

see Flash Player detection failure with websites that use VBScript detection

(TechNote 7d1862a).

Pop-up blockers blocking Flash
The most common cause of Flash movies failing to display is the presence of a

pop-up/ad blocker software that specifically targets Flash content. To find
out

more about this please see Flash movies do not appear after installing the

Flash Player (TechNote 19091).

Internet Explorer Settings on a Macintosh
On the Macintosh there is a setting in Internet Explorer to enable plug-ins.

This setting is located in the Explorer > Preferences menu of the browser. In

the Preferences dialog box, select Web Content under Browser Display. Then

ensure that the Enable Plug-ins option is selected.

Internet utilities blocking ActiveX
Some Internet Utilities, such as Norton Internet Utilities, perform functions

similar to a firewall and may restrict viewing of ActiveX controls. You need
to

ensure that your firewall or utility settings are set to allow ActiveX
controls

or you will not be able to view Flash movies in Internet Explorer.
What if the installer fails, or displays an error message?

Error message encountered during installation are usually due to incorrect

browser settings. Please check the settings required before installation in
the

The only .swf file I can see a problem with is new.swf
<param name="movie" value="new.swf">
should be
<param name="movie" value="../new.swf">

A security measure requires that flash, active-x, and Java objects require
to be activated in the browser by clicking the object, pressing space bar
or enter key.

I was writing about alexnew.swf.
I was told there is some new active x problem with swf files and I.E.
And that the fonts in the swf can prevent browsers from loading files.
For some reason I can't see this in I.E.

It's working in my IE.

If you mean; why isn't new.swf playing, then the file location or the
path
is incorrect.
