Creating interactive swf files that contain flash files that don't play once loaded on server

I am creating an interactive swf file that contains a flash movie f4v file and when I preview the page in ID it plays, but once I export the InDesign file to swf, insert that on a html page using Dreamweaver (so I can send a link and not a file out) the movie doesn't play, just the first frame of the clip. I have uploaded the f4v file to our server and linked in the original ID file and it still doesn't play. Any suggestions or similar issues?

I have left the page up for quite a while to see if it is just taking longer to load that clip and that doesn't seem to be it. I am just stumped and honestly not knowledgable on how websites and servers work - just know how to get my documents up so I can send links.

I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds. When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Hi Steve,
You can be right that DISM don’t support the scenario that User profile and System are in the separated volumes.
As a workaround, we should use the defaults to put the profile on C: during capture image, and then set the profile path to be on the D: drive after the image deploying.
Please refer to below KB for how to using Sysprep to redirect profiles’ locations.
Customize the default local user profile when preparing an image of Windows

Firefox exits DOM fullscreen when clicked on a swf, how do I have a div that contains flash in a DOM fullscreen?

I am trying to make a div that contains flash to go fullscreen
The markup:
<div id="outer">
<div id="top"/>
<div id="flashContent"/>
<div id="bottom"/>
</div>
This wiorks
if (outer.mozRequestFullScreen) { outer.mozRequestFullScreen();}
But when I click on a div #flashContent the browser exits fullscreen immediately. This happens only in Firefox, all other browsers stay in fullscreen. Is there a solution?

Flash file inside a Flash File

I know this may see a stupid question... But I've looked
everywhere and haven't found an answer. How do I add a flash file
inside another flash file? I'm interested in creating an all flash
website, but am kinda stuck when it comes to switching pages on the
site. What's the easiest way to do this?

Hello Ben J.,
loadMovie is your new best friend.
The best way to use this is to create an empty movie symbol,
put it on the
timeline and give it an instance name (placeHolder for
example). Then you
can load another swf into that placeHolder clip with the
following script:
placeHolder.loadMovie("whatever.swf");
This is a GREAT way to cut down on the initial load time of a
site because
you only load what you need when you need it.
You can really have some fun when you start controlling
objects on the main
timeline from your loaded movies and vice versa.
Good luck!

Captivate Files containing flash files fail to play in AIR

Hello,
     I am using RoboHelp 8, and Captivate 4. And I am running Windows Vista Ultimate.
     I am trying to make a fairly complex training system/operator's manual. We would like the final output to have the uniformity, searchability and structure provided by AIR. Our method of design involves making interactive swf files in captivate. Not only do these files have interactive buttons, and pop up windows, they also have silent looping animations and larger flash video sequences that feature full motion and sound. After the interactive, video-rich document is created in Captivate, it is saved and it's swf is imported onto a page in Robohelp HTML. And finally the project is exported through Adobe AIR.
     Here's the problem: The final air output shows the swf file correctly with the exception of all video. All of the video files are absent from the final AIR output.
     Is this a simple issue of redirecting AIR to look for the files at the correct location? With captivate, it generated a folder that it populated with all the contained .flv animations. When I click on the .swf that was generated with those files, the Captivate document plays properly and complete with all video and navigation.
     Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Hello,
     I am still struggling with trying to get the videos to play in a swf file after it is exported to Air. I've tried a few more tests to get to the bottom of this, unfortunately I don't know how to evaluate the results. Here are some things I've noticed.
     Within robohelp, If I click the "View selected Item" button while on the topic containing the swf, the preview pops up and plays all of the embedded videos properly. However, after closing the preview I get an chain of Internet Explorer Script Errors. It reads:
"An error has occured in the script on this page
Line:53
Char:3
Error:Object required
Code:0
URL: file:///C:/Users/dp/Documents/My%20RoboHelp%20Projects/quadrispaceTest/BaggageFolder/PK10 1_2.htm
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?"
When using the output modules, the AIR module creates an Air document, but when the SWF is clicked through, the pages with embedded video appear to be missing from the file.
     The WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro Modules both output properly. The videos inside the SWF play completely and properly.
     The Microsoft HTM: help output, acts similarly to the Air output. It generates the help project, but when the topic with the SWF is viewed, the videos laced throughout the SWF fail to appear.
     I hope this provides some more insight into my problem, since I am anxious to get beyond this issue.

How to put a video player swf file inside a flash file

i want to know how i can put a flash file inside a flash wbsite. i have found a tutorial http://www.ehow.com/how_4906532_within-another-flash-swf-file.html that says something like that but in this tutorial if i understand correctly it creates a new flash project and add another swf inside. i have my website created and i just want to add video gallery, image gallery etc that are already swf. how i can do that?

You can use swf inside of another swf.
If you are using Actionscript2 then learn about LoadMovie
And for AS3 it is Loader.

Browser has suddenly stopped loading html files which contain flash content (LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2)

Having created interactive material which opens as shockwave flash in my browser Firefox has stopped opening such files it just opens with the circle as if its opening the file but the file never opens. These files opened previously without a hitch and open in IE. If I browse and open the shockwave flash object quiz.swf it will open but it will not open the quiz,html file.
I'm using Firefox 3.6.13 and adobe flash 10

There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).
Best wishes,

Create link to help topic from Flash file

We have started using Flash to develop our online learning
modules. So far they have been stand alone modules accessed from an
internal web site, published as .EXEs. Our latest Flash module is
related to a system for which we have an HTML help file. We'd like
to embed the Flash module in the help file b/c we want a link in
the Flash module to open a specific help topic.
I can get individual .SWFs into the help file but these Flash
modules are more complex, using many .SWFs for navigation, the TOC,
the frame, and for each interaction. In other words, the main .SWF
(or .EXE) calls many other .SWFs as the user navigates through the
module.
If I can't get the Flash module into the help file, and I can
only link to it as an external file, can a link from within a .SWF
in the Flash module open a specific help topic in the .CHM?
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help,
SueM2

no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
internet.
unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
it permission to access the internet zone.

Import from a camera that contains mts files

what is the required file structure for FCE to import from a camera that contains mts files

The file structure is provided/created automatically by the camera....
So if you still have the original structure, then you should be fine, but you may need to install software for log and transfer from the camera manufacturer...
If you just have the individual mts file, you are SOL as far as log and transfer goes. In that case you need to purchase ClipWrap2 to convert to Pro Res....
Not sure how this all works with FC Express though...

Creating zipped file which contain multiple files

hi all,
i have a problem which i would like some advice about:
i need to recieve from a FTP server multiple files and then zip them all in one big zip file.
now i checked the forums and all i found is using PayloadZipBean which in all the examples create a zip file with one .txt in it.
is it possible to create multiple files in the zip using this module?
another problem if the one big zip file is what if each of the files inside the zip file has it's own mapping...
i think a BPM is a must here and a parallel one also with a correlation...
i would like if it's possible to do something different as the correlation between the files is a bit complicated?
regards and thanks a lot,
Roi Grosfeld

First,
I would like to understand your requirement. Is it to only download and zip the files in to one file? XI is not the solution. A OS level script or some C program is what I would use for that which calls some FTP APIs.
If you requirement is to get different files with different format but want to send them to one desintation which accepts files in only one format, I would not consider zipping them into one file and again unzipping then and executing a mapping XI. Instead, I would have different file adapter for each type of the file and use as many sender agreements with diffrent mappings.
Hope it made some sense..!!

Insert an swf file into another Flash file

Hi,
I'm a newbie to flash trying to insert an SWF flash file (a game) into another Flash file. However, when I import the swf file into the library and drag it onto the frame (and insert the stop(); command onto the frame action to stop it playing the whole movie), the SWF file plays constantly, ignoring all the actionscript and button commands in the game SWF file.
When I try inserting it using the Window component, the game SWF refuses to play at all - it just stops (clicking buttons in the game work, but it goes-to-and-stops instead of go-to-and-play like it's supposed to do). The only other component I could find was called "Loader". Using this doesn't work either, it won't play any of the animation, just like using the "Window" component
When the game SWF is played by itself (by just double-clicking to open it from Windows Explorer or embedding it in a web page), it works fine.
Any help how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm posting in this thread because my problem seems similar but may be not...
In my first swf, I'm loading a second swf via loadClip().
My second swf works well alone but when I try to integrate itself in my first swf I'm losing my events. My events only works on my first swf.
I'v tried your trick with _lockroot but he doesn't work for me too.
Is someone have an idea to help me ?
Thx
My code is really basic
First swf:
        var mcloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
        var listener:Object = new Object();
        listener.onLoadInit = function (mc:MovieClip){
            main_obj.__preloader.die();
            obj[funct](target_mc, param);
        mcloader.addListener(listener);
        mcloader.loadClip(file_name, __loader);
Second swf:
    var box:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("box"+depth, this.getNextHighestDepth());
    //Draw box
    drawBox(...);
    // Event on Box, Change Alpha and show arrow or not
    box.onRollOver = function() {
        drawBox(...);

How to use as3 in flash cs3 to add dynamic text from a text file into a flash file

let me start out by saying today is my first day of scripting
in flash.
I have a text file text.txt
it contains
text1=hello world
can someone please show me how to display this text in a
flash file
i have been searching for this for hours and there are
solutions with flash mx and actionscript 2.0 but i would like to
see how to do this in as3.
just a simple frame that loads that file and displays it when
you test run the program
much apreciated
RC

I'm not up on AS3 yet, but many things are still similar. You
need to use the LoadVars class to accomplish this, You can find
information this in Flahs Help>Actionscript>Actionscript
Language Reference>Actionscript classes.
rem: the text.txt file and the text.fla file must be in the
same directory.
The code will look something like this:
