Doesnt work with Flash 9 Created Nov 2, 2009

Flowplayer works fine under Flash 9.

What *precisely* is your issue? What type (format) of video? Do you have a live sample?

Thanks heaps for your quick reply

there is a test page, if you could have a look it would be awesome.

Thanks heaps for your help

Page is forbidden for me.

As I said in my post please be *specific* with the problem. Because Flowplayer works for me using Flash 9 I might not experience whatever the issue is.

Also note I am not with Flowplayer. I'm a user just like you, volunteering to help out here. I don't have a lot of time to chase down other people's problems so that's why it would be helpful if you could provide a succinct overview of what you're doing. For example, are you using MP4 videos? Those won't play if users have a version of Flash 9 before r115.

Hello thank you very much for your time, i really do appreciate it.

sorry just take out the :8080 in the link

We are using flv files, and what happens in a user is experiencing just a "black box". meaning nothing loads up etc.

Thanks heaps

Like I say it works for me using my Flash 9 test box.

You can also test this yourself by doing the following:

1. Download and install the Adobe Flash uninstaller.

2. Install one of the later versions of Flash 9. Remember that you need to install the OCX version when testing in IE; the plugin version when testing in Firefox or other browser.

3. When you're done repeat step 1, and reinstall version 10. (Do not keep Flash 9 on your machine. It has unpatched security holes.)

Your problem may be your code. For one thing, I'd run a test using a simple page with only the video.

One thing you're doing is calling the Flowplayer code before any part of your page is constructed. This can fail in some browsers. Remember that browsers build a page top to bottom. In your script you are asking Flowplayer to place itself into a container that does not yet exist.

Ideally the call to Flowplayer (the part with "player" in it) should be AFTER the container that holds the video has been fully constructed in the page.

Hey thanks alot for your help i really appreciate it. You have very clear instruction and you have been very helpful. and your not even a part of the Flowplayer team!

Cheers, Thanks for your help
