Flash animation doesn't work when I publish Captivate file

Hi,
I have an e-learning developed by a third party using Captivate 6, they've inserted animations (swf files) created using Flash CS6. When I try publishing the Captivate file on my computer all the animations work well except for a particular one (a wheel that spins and asks questions).
When I publish the Captivate file and go to that particular slide and click anywhere other than this animation the whole thing freezes (this doesn't happen on other slides with the other animation/quizzes developed using Flash CS6 on the same project). However, when the developer publishes the same file on their machine it works well.
I don't have Flash CS6 installed on my machine (I only have Flash CS4 and can't open the animation/swf files), I asked someone else (that had Flash CS6) to try publishing the Captivate file and had the same issue I had.
Has anyone had this issue before? how can I fix it?
Thanks!

Since you are loading another SWF file into your main root timeline and want to transfer control to the loaded SWF you need to call _lockroot on the container that holds the loaded content since you are using _root. Like this:
myMCLMain.loadClip("flashSite.swf", "container2");
container2._lockroot = true; //Add this line after loadClip
Or you can remove the _root in the loaded SWF.

Edge animation doesn't work when on the net

Hi
Built the Muse site. Placed the Edge Animate .oam file in the pages. Tested it in the browsers. All running great.
BUT now when I upload the site to the net, the Edge Animate animation doesn't work in any of the browsers.
Why not?
Am I meant to be uploading other files with the animation?
How can I remedy to make it all work…as it should?

Hi Vivek
In the web checking section of my site, I've used the animation at the bottom of all the pages (under the rule) of this site :

Hopefully you can tell me how to fix. BTW I don't use Dreamweaver. I only use Muse.

Flash Video doesn't work when burned to CD?

I'm using Flash 8.0 pro. I've exported a video as swf and
html and it plays fine from my desktop but the video doesn't load
when burned to a cd-r. If I click on the swf file I get nothing.
I've included the source of the html page.
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

And you are sure that BOTH the HTML and SWF file are on the
CD?
I took your source and a dummy SWF (which I named
"video.swf"), put them on a CD and it works fine for me.
When you double-click on the HTML file on the CD, what does
the URL bar say specifically?
If you "hover" your mouse over where you think Flash should
be, do you see anything, like a tooltip saying "Click to activate
and use this control"?

My flash animation won't work when I preview my webiste in the browser.

Best of luck with your assignment!
Nancy O.
+1 on that. I completely agree with you Nancy. But whats funny is most schools today have this as part of their syllabi which is a shame. I saw this high-end web technologies school whose motto is 'We shape the developers of tomorrow.' that does not have HTML5 or CSS3 as part of their Semester 1 or 2 but has Flash in 3 semesters. Whats more ironic is they're not even teaching game development (one domain where Flash may still survive) but their syllabi consists of Flash Website development! Lol!
Like they say, What kids learn in college in their 1st year is already outdated by the time they enter their 4th year, thanks to ever-evolving technology!

My adobe flash player doesn't work when i download it?

my adobe flash player doesnt work when i download it? onky brought laptop a week ago, brand new!

Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on February 4, 2014 - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655 - "Adobe Flash Player is out of date"
Make sure you follow the directions. Simply downloading files from Adobe doesn't actually install them on your computer.
Flashplayer is third party software, not Apple's. Don't expect it to be on a new computer.

Animations doesn't work when publishing from PPTX (Powerpoint 2007)

I have Presenter 7.0.2 (build 7464), running over PowerPoint
2007, and all the animations based on activators are not
controllable after publishded.
What I need is the same behave of published flash contents
as the powerpoint presentation permits:
- For example, one action button, uppon click on it,
activates some animations effects on others object elements.
Does the Adobe support (Platinum plans), or any of you that
hoppefully had already fix an way to avoid this, can help on this ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Today I have found the 7.0.5 Update, build 7588, for Presenter 7, so I started to think that my long issue concerning the animations problem could be over with this update ... but it did not! :-(
After the update installation, the same presentation gives me the same wrong behavior.
It seams that the animations triggered by activators used on PowerPoint 2007 presentations continue without any support.
Is that right ?

Flash button doesn't work when used with Dreamweaver CS4

I am a student trying to learn how to take multimedia elements from one class and put them on a webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. From an online tutorial, I created start/stop buttons with ActionScript3 URLRequest to reference a sound file. The swf works fine when played; it plays from the html generated by flash but when I use Dreamweaver CS4 > insert > media > swf and then preview page in browser (firefox), the button doesn't do anything. When I compare the html page generated by flash to the html created by Dreamweaver, they look completely different. I don't have a clue what to do next.
I have also posted this in the Dreamweaver forum. Please, does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the response! What bothers me is that I was able to use Dreamweaver > insert.... swf on a different file with actionscrip2 controls (thanks to help from Ross Ritchey) but this time the swf has actionscript3 code in it and I was wondering if that makes a difference. I don't get any errors, the button shows as clickable, just nothing happens. Thank you for the suggestion, however the flash html but it is so MASSIVE! It makes looking at the rest of the page difficult and I have several sound files I wanted to add to one webpage.

My flash preloader doesn't work when played fullscreen

Example link: http://www.girlgames.net/content/games/barbie-goes-jogging.swf
(normally the flowers start rotating and after that the play link appears)
Does the error lie in my preloader code?
Or is this something browser related?

The preloader was created by someone else. That's the problem. I think the code has inconsistenties.
It all started when the mochi pre game ad code (mochimedia.com) had to be installed. It all went downhill from there.
I'm just looking for someone who can solve this problem 100%. Do you offer such services?

BitmapData draw method doesn't work when the project is published as the .swf file of the web applic

Hi,
        I am totally confused by this strange error. When I tried using the draw method of BitmapData to draw a movieclip symbol of my project, it seems to work fine locally. However, as I uploaded the published .swf file to my web server and launched it as the plugin of my web application, it failed. The source codes as follows,
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
message3 didn't show at all. Instead, the browser console shows "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject.". My understanding of this error message is that the .swf is calling something crashing, and I believe that bd.draw(stage)is the crashng method call.
Also, here is my html embed tag:
    <embed src="/tests/videoplayer.swf" id="flash" quality="high" height="510" width="990" scale="exactfit" name="squambido" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" style="margin: 0px auto;clear:both;position:relative;"/>
Can someone help me?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried stageWidth and stageHeight, but it still doesn't work.
The draw() methid is triggered when I clicked a screenshot button in my application as follows,
ExternalInterface.addCallback("printscreenClicked", printscreenClicked);
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
Would you please give me an example of "waiting for Event.RESIZE is good, or just at least Event.ENTER_FRAME"?
My real purpose in this application is to capture a snapshot of a streaming video. The video is contained in a movieclip object. I tried stage first since BirmapData.draw() doesn't work when drawing the movieclip on the web site. Do you have any suggestion for this situation? Also, is there any good method to find out what happened if the browser have "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject."?

Newest version Flash Player doesn't work online, but does work when using Dreamweaver files locally?

Newest version Flash Player v 11.2.202.235 doesn't work when trying to view Flash video online, but does work when using the same Dreamweaver files locally?
Win7/64, Firefox 12, 16 gb ram, core i3 @3.07GHz

Define "doesn't work" - what do you see instead of the expected Flash content?
Does that happen for any Flash object on the Internet, or only your Dreamweaver files?

It is very hard to help you without
seeing your page... do you have the files uploaded to a
server? Can you post a link, so people can look at the
code to see if they can find a solution for you.

Imessage doesn't work when i connect to my wifi only works on mobile date how do i fix this?

1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).
4. What year is the Retina MBP?

Flash CS6 doesn't work

Hello,
It has been a while since I worked with Flash, but once a year I have to edit a Flash file (with sponsors of a local event). Last summer I made the latest version of the file in Flash CS5. I've installed CS6 (the complete design&web premium package). Now I want to change the file that I made last year, but Flash CS6 doesn't work like it should. When I open the specific file, s small screen with the canvas is visible, I can't enlarge this screen, there are other windows available in the menu, but they won't show up when I activate them. I've tried to save the document as a CS5 file (I have a CS5 version on my laptop) but the file can't be opened (warning: this file has been created in Flash CS6).
When I try other menu-items, the program 'unexpectedly' stops.
In other words: I can't do anything anymore.
I've installed Flash CS6 again, but that doesn't solve the problem.
Is this a familiar issue? Can anyone help me?
Thanks

HTML5 animation doesn't work

I imported an animation that i created on Adobe Edge into my project on Adobe Captivate 8, but it doesn't work when i click to view the project in the browser, even when i export the file, nothing happens on the browser. I'm using Chrome as my default browser, but i've tried on IE and nothing happened as well.
Does anybody can help me?
Thanks,
Pedro

Are you sure the file exported ok? Are there any dependancies in the animation such as files located elsewhere which maybe haven't been bought across?
