Import swf file with drag & drop action

Hello!
I created a flash animation with drag & drop.
I imported the swf into Captivate 3, but when I publish the
project, the animation don't work.
Can you suggest me some workaround to understand the problem?
Best regards

Hi kpurple and welcome to our community
When you published the project, did you ensure to copy all
the associated files? Normally the added .SWF files exist as
external files that need to exist in the same folder as your
Captivate files.
Cheers... Rick

  • Importing swf file with skin and closed captioning problems

    I created a flv file in Preimere and I pulled it into flash to create close captioning.  When I publish it, it creates a swf file that I can open up on its own and it has the skin with the button to push to show the closed caption.  When I try to bring that file into captivate, it doesnt bring in the skin and it just automatically shows the captions.  How do I get it to bring the skin in with it?

    Are you seeing this problem when you preview you project. or only after you publish it? If it is when you publish, is it in both the local version and/or in the web version?
    Also, which version of Flash Catalyst? 1.0 or 5.5.?

  • Actions not working to imported swf files in Flash Catalyst

    Hi,
    I have a problem with manipulating my imported swf files (created in Flash professional) in Flash Catalyst CS5. Whenever I add any of the swf control actions to a swf file in the timeline such as 'stop', the animation ignores it and keeps replaying. I tried to add action sequence when a certain button is pressed, and also tried to create 'On application Start' and added 'stop' so that the animation stops immediately when the application opens. No matter what I do, the animation refuses to perform the actions and simply replays. The animation is a simple shape tween between 2 states with no action script attached to it. I published the animation as an swf and exported it to Flash Catalyst. Is there any suggestions whatsoever on why this is happening? Is it something to do with setting up my flash file prior to import? The only way I figured out to stop the animation from playing is adding action script to the flash file in Flash Professional however this is not what I want because I would like the animation to be controlled by components in my flash Catalyst document.
    Thanks

    You can make you swf a custom component with 2 states.
    The first state will be empty and rename it "OFF" the second state will have your swf file and name it ON.
    Then go back to your artboard/project, add your 2 buttons ON & OFF.
    For the ON button add interaction "play transition to custom component ON"
    For the OFF button add interaction "play transition to custom component OFF"
    Here is an example swf_control

  • Windows Storage Server 2008 - unzip with drag & drop from Windows 7 client fails

    Hello.
    As i asked this question in German and got no answer so i try it in English now.
    I have the following problem:
    We have a Windows SBS 2008, where we store our files. If somebody opens a ZIP-file on a network share from a Windows 7 Client (64 Bit) it is possible to drag & drop the content (multiple files) to a directory. So far everything works as expected.
    We now have an additional Windows Storage Server 2008 integrated in our domain (Buffalo Tera Station WS-QV8/R5), where we also store files. If somebody opens the same ZIP-file on a network share of this server from a Windows 7 Client and tries to drag &
    drop the content the following happens:
    1. only one file is extracted and to display the file a refresh of the explorer view is needed.
    2. when the drag & drop action is repeated a second file is extracted
    Not alle files are extracted and there is no error message or indication why this happens.
    The behaviour is reproducible from another Windows 7 Client (32 Bit).
    If we try to drag & drop the files from the ZIP-file on the Windows Storage Server network sahre to a directory on the SBS network share all files are extracted correctly.
    On the Windows Storage Server itself all files are extracted without problmems. Therefore it must be a problem with the combination of Windows Storage Server und Windows 7 Client accessing the files via network shares.
    Are there any ideas where this problem could be located? Has anybody the same phenomenon and maybe a solution for it?
    Thanks in advance

  • Import swf files in CP3, but export without any voice?

    Did anyone have the same problem with me?
    I imported swf file in slide and published. But I can't hear any voice in the slide....
    At the same time, I tried to import as flv file and published, then it works. Voice in slide can be heard with no problem.
    How can I fix the problem? thanks!!

    Hi,
    Just a quick check. Go to menu item " Edit > Preferences" and select category "Publish Settings".
    Confirm that option "Include Audio" is checked.

  • Importing flash files (with sound!) can it be done?

    Hi!
    I sucessfully importing a flash file but im not sure if the sound has imported with it, does anyone know if I can import a flash file with sounds or do I have to import the sound seperatly?
    Helen

    Helen,
    After Effects can import .SWF files but unfortunately it does not recognize the audio in a .SWF file.
    If it helps, AE can import .FLV files and it WILL recognize the audio in them.

  • How to place a Flash swf file with a movie FLV file embedded in DW

         My hair is getting shorter by the hour or maybe missing.  I have created a SWF file with Flash 8 that has an embedded FLV file that was created from a MP4 file.   The SWF file works perfectly in FLASH including my Flash nav buttons, and the movie with soundtrack and the buttons for control of volume and start stop.  Now I am ready to place it on the web using DW to make the html page.  What happens when I test the page on FireFox or IE is the background loads, the buttons load but do not work properly anymore but worse than that:  The slide show and the control buttons do not even show up. 
         I am also having trouble defining my site locally.  I select new site and tell it where every thing is but no luck. All in the same directory, right now I have a image directory but I have not used them on the page as the only image is a jpg and flv file and they are embedded in the swf file.
         I know this is 2 different programs but the Flash files need to be placed in a HTML file to be uploaded, and I have to text them first.
    HELP

  • Strange problem with drag&drop!!

    hello i hope u can help me.
    i have a strange problem but not like the other users with drag&drop in Leopard..
    mine is not exactly like this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1198982&tstart=3538
    i can hold left click and move files but when i need to "drop" them at the .app's window the app rejects the file back! (some of the applications not all!)
    what i mean in examples is:
    i cannot drag&drop anything in the VLC's player window but i can inside the vlc's "controller" window
    i cannot drag&drop a picture in preview
    i cannot drag&drop any file in photoshop's new file/empty canvas
    i cannot drag&drop a mp3 file in itunes but i can drag&drop a full album folder(only in playlist,not in the player window)!
    and i can describe more to show u that it's not about vlc or preview or PS problem, but finder's/leopard problem.
    (i thought in the 1st, that it's vlc's problem and i downloaded a lot of versions!)
    all the other programs works well, for example i can drag&drop a video to final cut or motion
    i can do the same in iMovie (at the space it says"drag&drop media here etc)
    and of course i can drag&drop files to desctop,hard disks etc.
    i can copy/paste text etc (i can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste text)
    i am trying to give you an idea, suggest me what else should i try in order to focus where exactly the problem is!
    i hope u give me a solution cause drag&drop is usefull!
    thank you
    in order to help u, i will describe what i tried so far:
    1)repair permissions
    2)trash com.apple.finder
    3)terminal solution like this: (didn't worked)
    sudo su -
    cd /
    rmdir tmp +*(rmdir: tmp: No such file or directory)*+
    ln -s tmp /private/tmp

    hello and thanks for your reply
    but why you quote only the part of VLC?
    One thing at a time. Occam's razor.
    and why u believe this is normal?
    i am sure that VLC can drag & drop subtitles or the movie in the player window.
    and when i say sure, i mean 100%
    I disagree. I have tried this since reading your post, on all my VLC versions. It does not work.
    You can, however drop a movie onto the VLC icon in the dock. That works fine.
    RealPlayer accepts a file dropped on it. I just checked it.
    Not all apps accept a file on their output window. Usually only the input window.
    i started my windows bootcamp partition before and i saw this works.
    and i remember trying VLC in tiger a lot of years before, this was ok.
    and yes of course it would be also normal to drop a picture in the photoshop canvas.
    so what is not normal here is my problem, if u can help i'm happy if you cannot please don't confuse it more
    (sorry if i sound "unclear", english is not my 1st languange)
    I will check VLC next time I run Tiger and let you know.

  • SWF file with white border

    Hi
    I'm trying to import an SWF file (with associated movie and captioning) into Acrobat Pro 9.
    I'm placing it using a URL from my server.
    The video places fine but I'm getting a white border top and bottom of the file. This is a problem as there is a coloured background to the Acrobat file I'm trying to place the movie.
    The white border doesn't exist when I view the file in Flash.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Andy:
    Have you checked the properties of the imported file. Control-Click on the file with the Video Tool and a fly-out menu will appear where you can bring up it's properties. You should be able to see if a border is set there.

  • Can Adobe Interactive PDFs play sound from imported .swf files

    Hello.
    I'm really really stuck, can anyone help? I'm on 10.8.3 using In Design CS6
    I am trying to get an interactive PDF with imported .sfw files with sound to play ....the sound. Preview is fine in the working file - but as per the previous query on thishttp://forums.adobe.com/message/4772574 - The interactive PDF loses the sound. I tried installing ezPDF - but it's an app and I don't know how to install it to work (I think it's meant for  iPADs). So...does anyone know if I can have an imported .swf file play when exported to an Interactive PDF and also work on an end users PC?...should I be able to install ezPDF reader on my MAC and get everything working?
    Any help would be good as this is day 3 having called Adobe on Day 1 which was fruitless.
    Thanks

    Really hard to say without seeing the whole project, but my guess is that you have moved your exported SWF somewhere from it´s original location (where you exported it to) without moving Resources folder to same target location too... when you place video, audio or SWF to your layout, indesign does not embedd it to resulting SWF. Those files will be stored into a resources folder which always has to be at same root with exported SWF. Media files will be loaded dynamically from that folder at runtime.
    So you can guess what happens if that folder does not exist....

  • Can I control imported SWF files?

    I'm being a pest today. Anyway, I have a primary SWF files
    with buttons to browse through pages. If I import another SWF into
    the file, can I use these buttons to control the imported one?
    Should be a simple enough question.

    localconnection should be used if the two swfs are open in 2
    browser windows (or 1 browser window and a projector file or 2
    projector files).
    otherwise, if your using loadMovie(), loadMovieNum() or
    loadClip() you should be using the normal path.filename
    reference.

  • How to generate SWF file with dynamic data but no live connection

    Hello,
    We got a requirement where we have to email out SWF file either in PPT or outlook generated from BOBJ universe. When the file reaches the customer who would be outside our network with no access to our servers or data should be able to view the swf file with data. So the goal is to generate these files automatically and should not prompt for BOBJ login or wouldn't have ability to query the database but need to report data pertaining to the customer.
    Any help in this regards is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Manohar

    Hi Manohar,
    You can use QAAWS(query as a web services) and build your queries on universe.
    You get an option of hardcoding the user id and password in the data connection for QAAWS which will not asks the users for login credentials.
    This will hepl the user to veiw the latest data from the database and the user wont be asked for login too.
    Thanks,

  • Export a pdf to a swf file with navigation buttons???

    I have CS4 and I've tried to export a couple indesign files using the swf export feature, but it the navigation of the file is very weak and not very intuitive, and when you zoom in to any of the text the text goes fuzzy.
    I would like to just convert a PDF to SWF file with navigation buttons, page controls, zoom in/out, single or two page view options, so that my end user can view it with the free flash player, but I don't have time to build the file in Flash and I don't want to use an online service that comes with a per month or per publication fee.
    Any suggestions??

    I've looked at that, but most of the pdf's that I need to convert are more than 10 pages.  I want a program I can download, install and use without a per use cost, or per publication cost.
    I'm looking more for a plug-in for either Acrobat, or Indesign or stand alone program that would convert them without adding copyrights, or ads to the file.
