Greetings, On many sites where there is a video using the <embed> method, I am not allowed to view it. I get the usual empty frame with the tree colour icon in the corner, but nothing else. It is the same icon one would get just before a photo would finish loading. What settings is wrong in my IE7 browser or what have I somehow deleted? IE7 worked beautifully until recently. I downloaded and installed the latest Flash and Shockwave plug-ins but still nothing. (I get the feeling it is some small thing I am missing.) This problem occuring too often or is it not important enough for an answer? > Greetings, > On many sites where there is a video using the <embed> method, I am not [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > downloaded and installed the latest Flash and Shockwave plug-ins but still > nothing. (I get the feeling it is some small thing I am missing.) Keep in mind that this newsgroup is a community of ordinary people just like you who try to help each other. This is not Microsoft Product Support Services. Everyone here volunteers their time and knowledge. If nobody knows the answer to your question, you're not going to get an answer here. Something else to know about newsgroups: Reading through previous posts is an excellent way to come up with suggestions that might help you. Of course, you could always pay someone to help you. Then you'd have a right to demand an answer. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > This problem occuring too often or is it not important enough for an answer? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> downloaded and installed the latest Flash and Shockwave plug-ins but still >> nothing.

Hi, It would help if you were to post a link to a site that is displaying this issue for you in the Browser. Also include any error messages in the status bar if applicable. Good luck, Donald Anadell >> Greetings, >> On many sites where there is a video using the <embed> method, I am [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> still >> nothing. (I get the feeling it is some small thing I am missing.) Thankyou, Donald. One of the many examples is on the page: http://www.space.com/interplayer/sts122/index.html where it says: Space Station Construction - STS-122 The video won't play. I don't see any error messages anywhere. I am using IE7 on a fairly new Dell PC. It worked on IE7 up until three weeks ago so it must be my fault in some way. I've downloaded the latest Flash and Shockwave add-ons. Stumped. > > This problem occuring too often or is it not important enough for an > > answer?

Hi, I tested the site you posted in IE6, IE7, and Firefox. No problems encountered here viewing the Flash Video(.flv files), in any of the Browsers. When you visit the site you posted the link for: http://www.space.com/interplayer/sts122/index.html The Player on that page is preloaded with a small Flash file called "flvplayer-space-noad.swf" coming from this location: http://www.livescience.com/php/video/flvplayer-space.swf It should be just a black screen in the Player with the words "click to play..." centered in the Player. You must then select a Video from the Slider menu list (below the Player) to play that Video in the Player. For instance if you click on the first Video in the Slider menu called "ESA's new science laboratory", the page is refreshed to the following address: http://www.space.com/interplayer/sts122/index.html?movie=01_122_Columbus&page=1 and the Video entitled "01_122_Columbus.flv" should be displayed in the Player coming from the following location: http://www.livescience.com/php/video/flvplayer-space-noad.swf?file=http://images 2.space.com/media/01_122_Columbus.flv The only way I'm remotely able to reproduce the problem you describe in your original post is to disable the Flash Player ActiveX control in Manage Add-ons entitled "Shockwave Flash Object". Disabling this add-on will produce a "red X icon" in the upper left corner of the Player on that site. Is this red X icon the one you are seeing in the player at that site? If so, make sure the Flash Player ActiveX control is enabled in the Browser: Tools||Manage Add-ons||Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer Make sure "Shockwave Flash Object" is marked "enabled" Good luck, Donald Anadell >> > This problem occuring too often or is it not important enough for an >> > answer? [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >> >> still >> >> nothing. (I get the feeling it is some small thing I am missing.) I see the process you are moving through. Logical. What I get is a grey box with the usual icon in the upper left corner that you'd get while a large photo was loading (red square, blue triangle, green circle, all on a small white square). If I place either of the URLs you listed in your message, into the address bar I get an entire screen, blank, with the same icon as previously mentioned, in the corner. Maybe this will help: when I right-click on where the video should be, in the Properties, I get info about the html page, with "Connection: Not Encrypted" and "Address: http://www.space.com/interplayer/sts122/index.html" shown along with the usual stuff. This makes me think the browser is acting up. I do appreciate all this effort, Don. > > Thankyou, Donald. > > One of the many examples is on the page: [quoted text clipped - 74 lines] > >> >> still > >> >> nothing. (I get the feeling it is some small thing I am missing.) Oh, yes. The Shockwave Flash Object is enabled and listed as Flash9e.ocx > I see the process you are moving through.

Yes, that is weird:o) If Videos on YouTube are working then you can probably rule out the Flash Player as being the cause of this anomaly. If you have any Ad blocking software installed, try disabling it to see if there is any difference in the behavior. Otherwise I'm afraid I'm out of ideas right now.

(I get the feeling it is some small thing I am >> > > >> >> missing.) Just when all seemed hopeless.........I went to Google Videos help site. They suggested uninstalling the Flash plug-in using the Adobe uninstaller on the Adobe site, then re-installing the plug-in. It corrected the problem. Thanks for your attention. It's good to feel someone else is working with you on these perplexing problems. -ray- > > Does this help?.....Videos on YouTube play just fine, but on Google Video, > > no [quoted text clipped - 137 lines] > >> > > >> >> nothing.
