Swf choppy with control bar in presenter

This question has been posted before a couple of different times, but I am going to post my own since I can not seem to find a solution that works for me in the responses in the other posts.
When I embed my swf file into presenter and click the control bar option, the swf runs very choppy.  I have tried every suggestion out there to fix this but to no avail.  Why are there no sufficient tutorials out there for this product?  I have been monkeying around with this now for eight days and I am so very frustrated!
I am using a new pc with vista, powerpoint 07 and CS4 Flash.  Should I be working on my Mac? (my next step in exploration)....  Would this make a difference?
Please offer any suggestions, as I am at my wits end ~
Thanks,
John

John,
Man, I'm sorry this has been so frustrating for you...I think we've all experienced our share of pitfalls around Presenter, and I'd also respond by saying that a great deal of us have had to figure out solutions that work within our given environments.
And nope, that's not ideal at all.
I know you've looked at the previous thread about this problem....so I'm not going to rehash what was discussed there, but I do feel it necessary to ask the following:
1. You write that you're using CS4...and for the record, I'm not convinced that's a problem, but for what its worth, are you using Actionscript 3.0 at all?  IF so, you're going to need to backdate that code base, b/c Presenter outputs to Flash Player 8, so AS 3.0 has to be taken off the table.
2. Is your imported swf file running at 30fps?  Again, don't mean to ask a stupid question, but it's the little details that can make or break a file.
3. Is there some example that you can share?  Not sure if you can make anything available, but I'd be happy to view anything you have in an attempt to see if there's something we can do to fix the problem you're experiencing.

  • SWF player with controls

    am to making a SWF player on Flash CS3 (AS2 & AS3) for web with controls like Play, Pause, Forward, Rewind, Time, Seek bar etc.
    This player will load external SWF and user can play them as other movie file play.
    My Player screen size is 300X300Px. I have accomplished all necessary coding for the same and some of the SWF files are playing well but some of the SWF files are not playing well.
    Here is the list of some major problem that I am facing form….
    1.       Some SWF file does not shows scroll bar as they are bigger than my player screen.
    2.       While pressing Pause button, some of the content/animation for the loaded SWF file are stop but some of them are still animating.
    3.       Some SWF file does not show there background (especially color).
    4.       Some of the SWF file does not show actual time/frame as some file shows correctly
    I request to all you Flash developer to please suggest me any possible solution for the above said problems.

    1. swf files are not designed to have/show scrollbars.  That is something you will need to design into your player's functionality.  If the content your player is showing is larger than the viewing area, you need to add scrollbars to your player.
    2. Not everything in a Flash file animates on the main timeline... some elements can be movieclips that animate on their own... and some animations are done using only actionscript.  You would need to know details of each element in the swf so that you could target things and command them as needed to make them stop playing... this is highly unlikely to be able to accomplish.
    3. When you load an swf file into another swf file, it does not include the background it has as an independent file... the background of the main file is the only one used.  Your loaded swfs will have to have background graphics drawn in.
    4.  If I understand what you are trying to explain, this is another case of the main file controlling the show. Whatever the main file's frame rate is, is the frame rate that all loaded swf files use.

    pls help me with another code to run my swf with player.....and i had attached my swf and player pls help me frds........

    Make your code agree with your file's setup.  If the file you provided for viewing is the file that the code is not working with, it is understandable since the code does not reflect the elements of that file.  Especially since there is no such code in that file, but also because if the code you showed was in that file, it does not target objects properly... mostly due to the lack of an object named playerSwf that your code uses to target all the objects thru.

  • Batch process video to swf with controls??

    Hi,
    I have hundreds of QT videos that I need converted to .swf
    video WITH control bar and a watermark logo.
    I can batch process them to .flv using the Media Encoder, but
    I need them to be .swf in order to use them in Director 2004MX.
    Plus, I don't see where I can add a watermark using Media Encoder.
    I have CS3 and CS4 Master Collections so I assume there's got
    to be SOME way to do this batch processing.
    I did a few sample tests in Flash, bringing in the .flv file,
    attaching one of the prebuilt skins, adding a layer for the logo
    watermark, then exporting to swf. It works beautifully in my
    Director project. But to do this process 500 times would take
    forever.
    Any advice on how to batch to .swf video with control bar and
    watermark would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -Karen

    Thank you Heathrowe I appreciate it.
    I guess as far as using the hotspot slicer in Fireworks, if I
    export to an SWF it doesnt make that a clickable section in the SWF
    file. Oh well. Would be a nice feature in the next version of
    Fireworks.

  • Possible to embed video with controls in FM PDF?

    I have a very specific end in mind, and I'd like to know from you folks who might have done this before if it's even possible, and if so, the steps to follow to achieve it. Here goes...
    I'd like to take an ordinary AVI file, convert it FLV in Media Encoder so it's of a manageable size, bring that into Flash in order to add controls to it (stop, start, pause, etc.), import the SWF file into FrameMaker and export a stand-alone PDF file than includes the video, without needing to reference any external files or servers or anything like that. Just one PDF file that includes the demonstration video and the means to run it.
    Right now the show-stopper seems to be it's possible to create a SWF file with controls, OR a SWF file that encorporates an embedded video source, but NOT BOTH at the same time. Anything that enables you to have controls seems to insist on referring to an external file, which I need to avoid.
    Then the problem becomes is it even possible to import such a SWF file, with working controls, into FM and thread it through to a PDF file where it will function as such?
    Anyone who can point me the way, I'd be much obliged. And thank you.

    Thanks, but I've seen that file before. While it's interesting to learn you can create links below a video to do this, the really ironic thing is that the PDF file contains video presentations making use of the controls that I'm looking to include (see graphic). In fact, it was this very document that got me interested in seeing how to do this in the first place. Now, I might be mistaken, but I don't think this is a solution available inside FrameMaker itself and I'm really after a cross-application procedure from someone who's done this in the past. I appreciate the input, though.

  • Insert multiple Camtasia created swfs as animation only displays the first animation with the template/control bar

    Greetings,
    I have started adding Camtasia created .swfs to Captivate
    projects.
    The first added animation will display the template and
    control bar the animation file is published with in Camtasia.
    After that, any additional .swf animation files also created
    exactly the same do n ot display the template or control bar and
    just play as soon as the slide begins.
    My theory is that the initial template and play button
    convince all the subsequent animations the user has pushed play.
    I would like for each animation on individual slides to
    display the template and control bar correctly and have tried to
    adjust animation timing to no avail...
    Anyone else run into this one
    Template is Camtasia Studio 5 Express Show Published as .swf
    files then inserted as animation into Captivate
    Both Camtasia and Captivate latest versions.
    Animations work correctly just need Camtasia template and
    control bar to show in all animations....
    Any help much appreciated!

    Hi maya12357 and welcome to our community
    Out of curiosity, since you already have your project output
    from Camtasia, why are you trying to insert into Captivate?
    I do have Camtasia 4, so I'm not sure if the output files
    from it are similar to 5. But I'm not sure if you will be 100%
    successful in getting all the Camtasia elements to show inside a
    Captivate project.

  • SWF Control via Standard Control Bar

    We would like to control the playback of SWF movie much like
    you would a FLV via a standard media control bar. The pre built
    controls in Flash work well with video FLVs but do not work with
    SWFs. It is important for our core content files to remain as SWFs
    as they are true vector animations with an MP3 sound track which we
    would like our users to be able to pause, start, scan, control
    volume, etc. Rendering them as FLVs causes a lot of file bloat and
    the compression is not kind to large areas of flat field color,
    etc.
    These SWFs are prebuilt and exist as separate elements
    imported into our Flash Project.
    So, is it possible to control a SWF as such?
    Are there pre built elements for sale anywhere on line so we
    would not have to build the control code and interface art from
    scratch?
    How difficult would this be to code from scratch if
    necessary?
    THANKS!!!

    Hi Saqib,
    Sorry, I made a typo: I meant user-status (not user-exit). It is also possible have user-statusses in place for network activities. You can customize a user status in that way that it is automatically set at creation or release or a lot of other business transactions.
    I can't give the correct business transactions: I think blocking FI-postings related to the activity will do the trick. Unfortunately I have no time to do the checking.

  • Flash player shows swf file but no control bar

    I have a product by IMTOO.com that converts AVI files to SWF files.  I used it, and I also specified that I wanted the final file to be small.  The final file plays OK in flashplayer 10, but the control bar is all black.  You don't see any controls on it such as 'play', 'pause' and 'maximize'.
    Now there is a menu you can get by right-clicking on the movie.  That gives you 'play' and 'pause', but not maximize.
    My question is, why is this happening.  Why can't I see controls on the control bar, and why can't I maximize at all, even with the right-click menu?
    The code looks like this:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

    Hi, Use this Adobe test site to see if you can see the animation and what version of Flash Player is shown.
    Test with each browser.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    You should also check in Tools, manage add ons with IE and under "Show"(light text), click on All Add ons or Run without Permission to make sure Shockwave Flash Object is listed and Enabled.
    Then with FF, check in Plugins for the Shockwave Flash vs 10.1.82.76(the latest Flash Player vs) and make sure it is Enabled.
    Let me know the results of the test and the add on info.

  • I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

    Hi, thanks for reading!
    I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
    I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
    .swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
    department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
    have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
    website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
    The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
    problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
    frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
    before the movie will proceed and play through.
    What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
    HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
    allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
    modify.
    I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
    another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
    start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
    just play through.
    var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
    getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(this);
    mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
    function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
    mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
    But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
    is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
    has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
    Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
    .fla files.
    http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
    What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
    bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
    media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
    done in HCIC_container.swf.
    I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
    if you look at the files it should make sense.
    ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
    definitely over my head here.
    Thanks for your help.

    Got my solution on another forum.

  • Creating single .swf file without border causes control bar jump

    If the goal is creating a single .swf file and the answer is
    to simply uncheck the border checkbox, there's a small problem. If
    there is a Captivate control bar -- in my case a full length
    stretched one -- it will ride up and over the Captivate movie,
    covering some of the movie. In my case the control bar is riding up
    and over several buttons referenced in the project, screwing things
    up considerably.
    How can we keep the control bar from riding up -- or more
    specifically perhaps being loaded over top of the project -- such
    that it obscures part of the project?
    Quick answers would be really fantastic!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Paul,
    That did work. I use a pretty stripped down control bar so
    adding in 27 pixles works. A cohort mentioned that Captivate 1
    required a similar work around -- though it only produced a single
    file. It'd have been nice to have known before her co-worker.
    It's too bad there's not some verbage somewhere -- maybe in
    the help -- that explains that adding a control bar to an exisiting
    project will result in the toolbar obscuring some of the project --
    how much depending on the size of the control bar.
    It'd be great to have a little checkbox that would allow the
    project to expand the exact number of needed pixels so that the
    project and control bar were nearly mated together.
    To come full circle, after I've done this and gotten the two
    together, I have to resize again -- this time down -- for my
    project.
    So after making it bigger to fit the control bar, I resize it
    again to make it smaller, make adjustments to the text -- which
    doesn't seem to scale -- and to the caption boxes that don't mate
    exactly anymore and publish. What I found is that the file size is
    now closer to the original "larger" project file.
    I find this curious, as I was finding when the control bar
    was on top of the project before learning this workaround that the
    file size for a smaller resolution project was actually turning out
    larger. That never made sense to me.
    After the workaround, it's actually close to the same size.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Actionscript / swf integration with Adobe Presenter

    I need to do some Actionscript / swf integration with Adobe Presenter content.
    Is there any way to access information about current slide nr., total number of slides and "end of presentation" information from swf(Actionscript 3.0) inserted into Adobe Presenter?
    I am using Adobe Presenter 8 with Adobe Connect 8.

    First, the best place is probably the Presenter forum, which somewhat curiously is under the Connect umbrella:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/connectpro/connectpro_presenter
    Out of curiousity, why are you using AICC? Because the content is on a different domain?
    To the point, it's great to have a logging or debugging tool for these sort of things to view the communication between the LMS and the lesson. Perhaps the lesson is sending the 'completed' status but also sending some other value that the LMS is using to change the status back to incomplete?
    My first suggestion would be to try the lesson in a tool like TestTrack...but I don't think that handles AICC. Does the Saba LMS have any kind of debugger or logging tool you can use? You really need to see if the lesson is sending the status back to the LMS as you suspect it should. If it IS, then the issue lies with the LMS and how it's interpreting that result. If it's NOT, then you can then perhaps figure out what to adjust in the lesson.
    In general, just play with the settings. If it's set to Complete/Incomplete and has a Mastery Score, try NOT setting the Mastery Score... And other such combinations.
    I hope the folks in the Connect/Presenter forum can provide more insight.

  • How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

    Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar

     If those icons are an annoyance to you, you can install an app called Stop the music. Then after you have finished listening to your music you can use that app which will clear the music control icons from the volume bar.

  • How to add video's control bar?

    Today, I've searched 24 pages here for related discussion but no solution was found.
    These pictures I listed here were created by other people.
    I want to know how to add a control bar below the video? Is it to use the Insert->Video button of Adobe Presenter (0002.jpg), or use the Insert->video button of PowerPoint (0003.jpg)? When I insert a video (in .flv format), it shows like a white box in the original PPT (see 0004.jpg), looks different from the existing 0001.jpg.
    And after I published this PPT (with the white box-like video) locally, when this video slide loads, that video plays immediately, but I want pause/stop function.
    I also noticed if I try to import a video in .m4v (MP4 Video), PowerPoint says QuickTime is required.
    I used to insert video in year 2010, but I forget the details. Maybe at that time I inserted a video with pause/stop function, but I forget.
    Or, is it because a specific video format would naturally show the control button?

    What do you mean,
    "insert a SWF player that contains the video."?
    Think of Presenter as your SWF player. It has a play bar that shows at the bottom of the content (or bottom right in full screen). So you would be embedding a different player via the Insert Flash option in Presenter (could be a Captivate SWF if that helps with an example) which could then be told to play independantly of the Presenter SWF.

    After publication, the video file inside the assets folder has .flv files, which are converted by presenter during the publication process.
    Presenter would do the conversion when importing the videos, not on publication, but that is more semantic than anything. I seems like Presenter 10 is doing this for all files, including MP4's. Presenter 9 and 8 only did the FLV conversion for the supported non FLV or MP4 files.

Maybe you are looking for
