SWF doesn't show up - html

I don't have a clue on what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes, when I open this page my html page , the swf don't appear. It won't happen always, but is really frequent.
Important: when it don't appear, I do can hear the sounds that the swf movie makes. In other words, I'm shure that the object is on the page, but it just won't be visualizable.
The error occurs on Firefox and Chrome (I didn't see it happening with IE, but I won't doubt that it is possible)
The problem isn't in the swf because I have already tested with another file that have no code at all and the same problem occurs.
Here is the page's code, generated by Flash CS5.5 when publishing the swf:

I know it's tempting to use the embed code generated by the Flash authoring tool's Publish feature, but I've had much better luck with one of the javascript replacement methods. I'd look at SWFobject. It seems to be the most dependable embedding routine and it's pretty easy to use. ...plus, it does a good job of handling the foibles of the various browsers.

HTML swf container resize

I have a kinda simple flash file. Just one layer. For the first 50 frames I just have an img file which has 300px height.
At 51 frame i load another image with the same width but with 150px height.

Problem is that swf container doesn't resize at the frame 51.
How I ccan do that;
Thank you
Simply ** Flash Cant**
The SWF file is a container pre compiled file, It will not resize as the properties of the file are already declared when you compiled it and in your parameters tags.
Html divs with Css will also not resize the SWF as the page is separate and has no interactivity with the flash content already displayed.
Im not too sure if this would be possible with javascript during runtime, but that is another question....

The current content in webpage is located in left corner and it is not a full size, I know how to make it centered but I have no idea how to make it as a full screen display, please advise, thank you.
You are specifying width and height to object itself. Remove width and height properties, or change it to percentage.
<object style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" id="main">
Take a look to the fullscreen API of (HTML5) that could be useful to you. http://slides.html5rocks.com/#fullscreen-api
Instead of
#flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }
Try this:
#flashContent object{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}

Control buttons missing after flash published Adobe Flash cs6

I have been trying do do what I thought would be very simple, but so far each time I publish the flash file on Adobe Flash cs6, I do not see the control panel below the vid with the start/pause, timeline, volume, full-screen buttons/controls. They are always missing.
Using adobe flash cs6 I create a new fla file, import an flv vid into it, then choose a pre-selected control 'skin'. It is like the most basic thing you can do.
Once I do that, the volume controls appear where they should, just below the vid, in the 'Scene' window of adobe flash before i attempt to publish it to the swf file (so i can use it on the web)
That is all I want. Import the vid, get the controls, and publish.
When I publish, the vid works fine but the control panel / bar is missing. I have uploaded all the files produced by Adobe Flash cs6 that resulted from the publication to the server. Everything is in the same folder.
The resulting html code looks like this:

But no control panel

Cannot load a youtube video from within a flash movie using google chrome only when embedded in HTML

Ok, so this is bizarrely specific and I am not sure how to proceed.
I have a flash movie which loads youtube clips into it. This works in the following situations:
--> In any browser, it works no matter what, unless it's chrome.
--> In chrome, it loads if you view the swf file directly.
however..
--> If the .swf is embedded via an tag (of apparently any kind) it will not load the youtube clips.
Fresh from a flash publish:
<div id="flashContent">

Here's the two methods I am using to load the thing:
//_root.ldr.loadClip(yurl,scrn);
scrn.loadMovie(yurl);
and naturally we're:
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.youtube.com");
System.security.allowDomain("http://s.ytimg.com");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.youtube.com/crossdomain.xml");
stop();
I am totally at a loss here, because it works fantastically in every other situation, browser, etc... except this one case. Any ideas?
If you are not already using it, make sure you are embeding
http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/QqXaYoU4piE
not
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqXaYoU4piE&feature=g-all-u
also maybe add
youtube.googleapis.com
to your security and load the policy file from that domain
Shouldn't the file in the loadPolicyFile() call be loaded from the domain where the flash file lives? Otherwise might flash ignore the policy file?

How do I access flashvars in AS3, and add them to an existing text field?

Edit: I've come to realize the main problem I'm facing is that I want a text field that already exists in a movieclip or on the stage to take the string from a flashvar. For some reason it will not do that. How do I make a pre-existing text field change to match the flashvar text?

I know this is supposed to be a simple task, and I have found several web articles that give examples, but I simply cannot make it work when I'm trying to do my own code. All I want to do is pass a flashvar string and be able to access it by name in flash using AS3, but I can't seem to accomplish that.
I'm trying:
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
newsItem.newsHeadline.text = String(paramObj[varName]);
I've also tried:
newsItem.newsHeadline.text = this.loaderInfo.parameters.newslisttest;
Nothing I try works, it always just stays blank. What is the trick to accessing flashvars in flash as3? I'm just not getting it and I can't find a good explanation anywhere...
Try this: stage.loaderInfo.parameters.yourparam or stage.loaderInfo.parameters["yourparam"]
Can you post your html code, so we can see how you pass the flashvars to Flash.
I've been wasted all the day long for that...
AS3:
var uid:String;
// your code
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
// your code
function loaderComplete(e:Event=null):void
{
var fv = stage.loaderInfo.parameters;
uid = fv['uid'] || "'uid' not found";
}
HTML:
<object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='/flash/yourSWF.swf' width='320' height='240'>
<param name='wmode' value='transparent' />
<param name='FlashVars' value='uid=yourData' />
<param name='movie' value='/flash/yourSWF.swf' />
</object>
If you are still having this problem, follow below lines.
I used flash vars, they work fine for me.
My html script was:
<html>
<body>
<div id="flashContent">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"FlashVars="uid=123&name=santhu" width="100%" height="100%" id="index" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="index.swf" />
<param name=FlashVars value="uid=123&name=santhu">
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="index.swf"
FlashVars="uid=123&name=santhu" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="index.swf" />
<param name=FlashVars value="uid=123&name=santhu">
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and my AS code to load vars is
this.root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, SWFLoadComplete);
private function SWFLoadComplete(e:Event)
{
obj=this.root.loaderInfo.parameters;
trace(obj.uid , obj.name); // outputs: 123 santhu
}
