Movie Not Loaded - Flash Player 32.0.0.465

I have a Google Sites website where I post games with Flash. Since the end of life is in a couple weeks, I started putting HTML Games. There's this one particular game I want to add, called Milk Quest. When I get it set up, I enable flash and I am met with a white screen. When right clicking, there's 3 boxes: Movie not loaded, Check for updates, and About Flash Player. I use the same exact method to add other flash games, and they work. Any help with this issue is highly appreciated.

System info: (I have an HP Chromebook 11 G6 EE)

If the game "Run" works and every other flash game on your site can work right now I can only think of two things.

 

1) There is something wrong with the flash file itself. What you are trying to load is a broken swf or was never actually the game you were trying to get (sometimes people save a random swf instead of the game.)

 

Check if the swf works at all by downloading from here. https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

 

A version that says Projector Content Debugger I think is what you need. Load it and open your game with it. If you get the game to open I think that should mean the file is perfect.

 

2) Alternatively the issue is incompatability with the game and what is being used to play it. This I really cant help. If you tell me the site (something I would be happy to know anyway) I can check if it loads for me. If it doesnt we know its the fault of the site. Otherwise its your computer / browser.

 

If the file is perfect and the issue is the site you will need a different tool to play it. You can make the game a downloadable link and direct people to obtain a standalone SWF Player. (The thing I had you get.) Not sure how long that particular link will remain or if adobe has placed a kill switch into the program that will eventually brick it. There are however many independant SWF / Flash Players out there for all kinds of devices.

 

I see a working version of the game here.  http://www.begamer.com/flash-game/22769/milk-quest/ 

 

Please consider using this to archive SWFs. https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

 

 


That works, it's my site that has the issue.

There's not enough information here to guess about it.  You'd need to install a Flash Debugger variant to see what error is getting thrown, and then go about resolving that error.  It's entirely dependent on how the game is built.

I can't download a Flash Debugger, Can I have instructions?

To avoid confusion yes I know you said you enabled flash. Fact is the thing bricked itself. To test if your flash is really enabled you can try loading this game that I know still works. https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/run

 

For more info on things about flash archives and flash player substitutes I wrote an article here a few days ago called Flash Is Forever - It will Survive Past 2020 - Here is how!

Since Adobe doesn't make games, Google sites or HP Chromebooks, I don't think you'll find an answer here.  Sorry. 

I suggest you ask whoever developed the game why it doesn't work for you.
