QuickTime/Flash (*.swf) - no sound

QuickTime Pro 7.1.6, Flash Player 9UB
New problem. Everything copacetic until in middle of class, *.swf file embedded in Keynote presentation had no sound. Visual ok, but no sound when playing *.swf files. Even if just open *.swf file in QT, visual ok, sound missing. Same files will play fine in other applications, but not in QT. Everything works on non-Intel computers.
Must have sound as use flash files extensively (embedded in Keynote presentations) for classroom. Please help. Monday morning is coming up quick time.
BTW have installed Perian 1.0 to no avail.

Problem solved in wee hours last night. Had accidentally deleted <com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist>. Hadn't discovered effect until middle of class, because hadn't rebooted until then.
BTW, only time I use *.swf files is in Keynote. If the "Open with:" section of the Get Info panels is set to have all the flash files open in QT and then, in System Preferences/QT/Advanced, the "Enable Flash" property is checked everything works (now) fine.
Thanks, folks. I'm set for Monday!

  • Importing Flash (.swf) to Keynote

    Hi all,
    I am working in Keynote '08 (4.0.2) and have Quicktime 7.4.1 (14) installed. I need to import a Flash (.swf) file and play it in Keynote. Even though the online help says this: "You can also add video or Flash movies that play within a slide. For Flash to work with QuickTime 7.1.3 and later, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click QuickTime, click Advanced, and select Enable Flash." Keynote 4.0.2 does not accept .swf files (they are grayed out) and Quicktime 7.4.1 cannot play an .swf (This is not a movie file). Should I unistall QT 7.4.1 and install a previous QT version? Can Apple fix this problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks

    Thanks for your quick response. Perian helps with Flash video but as far as I can tell it does not help with swf format. I have an actionscript loaded flash file that cannot be converted to MPEG-4. If you are indeed correct and Apple no longer supports swf with QT then I want my money back for iWork. It clearly states in their manual/help that users can import swf files and play them in Keynote. What a rip-off.
    Is there a way to unistall QT 7.4.5?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Resizing output when exporting to Flash/SWF

    Does anyone know if there is a way to resize the output when exporting a Keynote presentation to Flash/SWF? When you export to QuickTime, you can adjust the output size. I can't find a way to do that when exporting to Flash.

    I think that's because the Flash output displays at whatever size you want when you embed it into a website. For example, you can't create a Keynote presentation smaller than 200x200. BUT, if you create at 200x200 and then, in your embed statement, change it to 100x100, then that's how it will display on your web page.

  • Using FABridge with Flash SWF

    Hello Folks,
    FABridge exposes all Flex functionality to JavaScript in a
    beautiful way. However I have a Flash project that spits out an FLA
    and a SWF file. I want to use FABridge to manipulate this SWF and
    Flash through JavaScript. Can FABridge be used for this purpose? If
    so how? In Flex, inserting a simple line of code <fab:FABridge
    xmlns:fab="bridge.*"/> exposes all functionality to JS. But this
    is done in the XML part of the mxml file. Flash has all
    ActionScript code and I am not sure how to use or initialize the
    FABridge from with the ActionScript code in Flash.
    Would appreciate any thoughts or pointers on how to go about
    using JavaScript to access and manipulate Flash through SWF files
    created through Flash project. I would think that if I can
    manipulate the SWF file from Flex why can't I do it thorugh the one
    created through Flash. But sounds like I am missing something very
    basic here.
    TIA,
    Sanjay.

    You cannot do that. Your client will need to scan the image, and then you can allow them to upload the images... but you can't scan from inside Flash.

  • Converting Flash/SWF to HTML5

    I.
    Following Ned's advice I'm posting this message on Dreamweaver's forum (after posting it in the Flash/Actionscript 3 forum).
    I'm not a programmer, so this question might sound a bit noobish.
    I have this flash project with an advanced button - here's the code:
    portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
    portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,btnOut);
    portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage);
    function btnOver(event:MouseEvent)
        event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollover");
    function btnOut(event:MouseEvent)
        event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollout");
    function clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
        event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("ClickPortfolio");
        navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.fudzilla.com/"), "_blank");
    In order to comply with the HTML5/CSS3 "new standards", I converted the swf file to HTML5 with Google Swiffy. The problem was that it doesn't support Actionscript 3, so it was converted as a looping movie. Question: Is it even possible to retain the Mouse events? Or do I have to make a HTML5 for the Rollover, another one for the Rollout and one for the Click? Again, I'm not a programmer.
    Forgive my noobish remarks...
    ***** UPDATE: I got the code and downgraded to Actionscript 2.0 and it worked. *****
    One question though: is this good practice? Creating my animations in Flash AS2 and then converting the SWF file to HTML5 using a SWF/HTML5 converter? Will I have any problems? I suppose it's not an elegant way of doing it...

    Hi
    If you want your animations to work on HTML5 devices including mobile devices, one solution is to convert the flash content to video and use the HTML5 <video> tag to embed the video on a webpage.
    Of course this works only if your content is non-interactive.
    FLABACO (www.Flash-Banner-Converter.com) is a Free, online tool which converts Flash (SWF) to video.  It generates excellent quality video which can be used with HTML5 to work on all HTML5 devices / mobile devices.

  • Does Keynote Import Flash SWF Files?

    Hello,
    I do a lot of presentations and I often need to import Flash SWF files and play them inside my presentation. I currently do this on Windows with PowerPoint.

    Alas I don't see that option — having said that I looked at mime types and legacy encoders and nada, but oddly when I went to check the QT version (7.6 by the way) in the "About Quicktime" (accessed via the *System Preferences*) it cycles thru various codecs and "Macromedia Flash Player" is one of them... guess it doesn't access anymore. :o(

  • QuickTime to .swf

    When you convert QuickTime to .swf, is quality lost?

    You could re-"publish" if you have the .fla files used in the logo and have Flash software.
    You could use screen capture software like Snapz Pro to "record" it as it plays on your display.
    You could make a new version (require Flash software) and publish as version 5.
    But a new "gotcha" is waiting in the works. Default installs of QuickTime now turn off any Flash Media inside any QuickTime container. To turn them back on your must "Enable Flash" in the Advanced tab of the QuickTime System Preferences.

  • How stop youtube, swf files sound on session restore

    On session restore, all hell breaks loose: every youtube, swf file sound blasts in cacophony; I thought the open tab only on select would fix this. Worse, I now have sound but no picture, so I unable to even find which tab is making all the noise.

    I use Flashblock. Most YouTube videos are still Flash. That would help the situation a lot anyway.

  • How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?

    How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

  • Flash swf that runs on every browser except in Firefox. Can anyone help me please?

    Hello.
    I have an flash swf in a site that runs on every browser except in Firefox. I get an warning telling me that the page requires a newer version of flash player but i already have the 10,0,32,18 and the swf was published for flash player 9.
    Can anyone help me please?

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • Firefox Embedded Flash swf not shown in asynchronous desktop

    Hi all,
    in a jsp I embed a binary property of a content node that includes a flash .swf file. All that in an asynchronous desktop, using Firefox.
    I use the follwing code:
    "<embed scale="exactfit" quality="high" menu="false" width="600" height="400" hswLiveConnect="false" src="<%=myPropertyUrl%>">
    When the page is loaded by "normal" browser request, the flash animation inside the jsp renders as expected. After click on an url (<a> ....</a>) inside the same JSP the portlet content refreshes (via Ajax request), only the flash disappears. After F5 it's back agian.
    The problem does not exist with IE!
    How do i need to handle this for Firefox?
    Thanks for help.

    Firefox uses the object if there isn't a classid to specify an ActiveX control for IE.<br />
    You didn't specify such a classid (classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"), so there is actually no need for the embed in this case.<br />
    As jscher2000 posted above, an object tag only works in Firefox if there is a data attribute present (copy of the movie param) to specify the Flash file and a possible MIME type.

  • How to set up one-button embed-hotlinking for Flash SWF?

    Hello,

How can I set up one-button hot-linking that will automagically provide the code so that they can easily drop it into their website, similar to the way YouTube does with video?
