I'm having troubles testing a StageVideo file locally. The HTML file that contains the swf loads perfectly in Chrome & FireFox, but when I go to open it in Internet Explorer 9 nothing happens (it just shows a white screen).
I've added the permissions for the location to the 'Global Security Settings' tab of the Flash settings manager (on the Macromedia website). I've also checked in the IE9 settings to make sure that it allows GPU rendering.
Has anyone encountered anything similar or have any suggestions as to why it might be blocked in IE9?
Thanks in advance.
My gut feeling is that you don't have the latest Flash Player for IE, but do have it for Chrome/FF since they're 2 different versions. The swf probably doesn't even load up because of the Flash Player requirement.

Can someone please shed some light or point me in a different direction.
We are using adobe flash that launches an app inside of a JSP. Up until yesterday everything was running fine without any issues. Today when the Flash Object launches you can see the initialize bar where before you hardly seen it.
While working within the app as well all the operations are very slow (not much but a 2 second delay on most of the things is visible).
I have 3 browsers installed on my PC
IE 11 running Flash version 23.0.0.207
Chrome 55.0.2883.87 running Flash version 24.0.0.194
Waterfox 32.0 also running the same Flash version as IE 23.0.0.207
Running the app from all 3 these browsers is slow apart from Waterfox.
I deleted all the caches from the flash settings in control panel and for chrome I used the web interface (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html).
I cleared all browser caches. We are running McCafee which I disabled.
I had a look at any windows updates that was done recently which I uninstalled.
What could be different between these? What else can be checked to see what is making this app slow in IE and Chrome?
The slowness could be caused by the files not being cached by the browser like they used to be. I would start there. If you reload the page and you're not seeing a 304 "Not Modified" for the swf(s) you're loading them from the server each time where they used to be loaded from the browsers cache.
Here's some more info on the subject: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/optimizing-content-efficiency/http-caching
Both Chrome and IE have developer tools you can load to see the http calls and check the headers and response codes.

I need your help my website is not functioning properly on firefox browser but in edge, chrome and opera and safari it works only firefox is not functioning properly

I would recommend setting up all your projects in Xampp or something similar first before testing it. If you are going to upload to a server you need to replicate the environment locally before you decide whether it is going to work or not. It seems complicated but it is quite simple, you can find out more here. https://www.apachefriends.org/
That said, check your urls, they are not the same for your two different screens, the one is referencing an anchor tag.
I am fairly new to Web Development. I have created this site - www.hum3r.com
If you try to open the site in Chrome it loads and scrolls so slowly. But in IE, Safari, Firefox and even in Incognito Window of Chrome itself handles perfectly. Please advise why and any suggestion to fix slow n unsmooth scrolls
This sounds like an extensions issue, probably with something that checks scripts as they are downloaded, like AdBlock Plus or a virus scanner. Check which extensions you are running; 99% chance one of them is to blame. Extensions are disabled in incognito mode, which is why it works okay.
Also, as #cale_b said, you should minify and bundle those scripts and stylesheets; those will put a hit on any browser.
This is a really weird problem that appeared in the recent version of Chrome.
I have a huge app that loads hundreds of stylesheets (in dev mode). When the page loads, obviously all styles are applied but background images are missing!
If I just do nothing and wait, suddenly the images start loading randomly...
Using dev tools I checked the network tab to see if the images are requested.. but no, just a few of them appear in contrast to the previous version of Chrome.
Does anyone know if any kind of optimization has been added in Chrome that makes images load lazily? Obviously that implementation is buggy and does not consider a page with a lot of stylesheets!
This problem does not affect the app in production, where all the stylesheets are packed and reduced to just ~10.
Tested on Linux and Windows 7
I had a similar problem with our web site on Chrome 27.0.1453.93 and 27.0.1453.94. It turns out that Chrome seemed to think that all of our .gif images were corrupt. They wouldn't render in Chrome but they would render fine in IE, Firefox, and older Chrome versions.
I'm not sure what the underlying issue was, but I opened the images in Photoshop and re-saved them and now it works fine.
I'm familiar with the differences in rendering web fonts in different browsers and/or OS. A couple of questions though:
I use a web font (woff) that looks like crap in Chrome but is OK in FF (on Windows 7). The other day I used my office computer from home via remote desktop. I noticed that the font now looked like crap in FF too. It looked much the same as in Chrome at the office. (I didn't test Chrome at home). I know that remote desktop reduces "the graphics" somehow, but not exactly how, and I have no idea how it could effect font rendering. When I came to the office the day after, the rendering in FF was still messed up. I guess the remote desktop session´s changes to "the graphics" was still in effect. I checked with Chrome and now rendering in that browser looks fine, like in FF before!!? So I restarted the computer to get back my usual "graphics settings" but that didn't help. Then I cleared the font cache and restarted again. Now I'm back to crappy Chrome rendering and OK FF rendering.
My questions:
What is happening with "the graphics" in general, and with font rendering in particular, when I connect with remote desktop (setting = 32-bit color depth)? My guess is that whatever changes, it gets both FF and Chrome to use another rendering method than before.
How can the effect still be there after rebooting the computer. Is the "rendering result" somehow stored in the font cache as it seems?? Seems odd.
Thanks for any advice.
Chrome cannot render TrueType fonts with correct anti-aliasing at the moment. WOFF fonts are containers for either OpenType or TrueType, in your case probably TrueType, so you get the crappy rendering. You can either serve an SVG font to Chrome (bigger file size) or use a WOFF based on OpenType.
Apart from that, many other factors influence font rendering, like having the font locally on your system or having ClearType enabled or not (which is not enabled by default through remote desktop).
See here as well.
I had the same issue and searched but found no answers.
Ultimately in my case it was a combination of remote desktop, server 2012 and browser fonts (Roboto in my case).
It was the worst in chrome, ok in firefox, perfect in ie.
The cause was the missing feature 'desktop experience' in server 2012.
To add this feature to server 2012:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager. In Server Manager, click Features, and then in the Server Manager details pane, under Features Summary, click Add features. In the Features list, select Desktop Experience, and then click Install.
That completely fixed the issue for me in all browsers/fonts, hope it helps someone else out there.
