Swf file does not work from InDesign

I am not sure if this is a Flash or InDesign question, so i will post on both..
I am trying to embed an “animated” swf file (that was created in flash) into an InDesign layout and then export the InDesign layout to swf. in the resulting html file my navigation works ok but the swf file does not play “animate” when viewed in html or flash. It only shows up as a graphic. 
I have tried exporting the ID file to xfl and bringing it into flash but then none of my animation works. What am I doing wrong?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

You´re doing nothing wrong. SWF export of InDesign CS4 doesn´t support any media files. You can place videos, sounds and animations into indesign layout, but if you export to SWF, they won´t work in resulting SWF. They work in interactive PDF.
And you can export your basic layout to Flash CS4 by using XFL export and import those media elements in Flash, but that may be quite a job. I have been strugled a lot with that method. My files used to go really messy when I open them in Flash.

  • My website containing a swf file does not work now since update of 3.6.4

    I have recently set up my own site using flash panorama player (swf file) which has been successfully working for a few months now: annedoncaster.co.uk. I recently did an update on my firefox browser which I am sure has caused an issue with my panoramas showing, they no longer load or show on my website. I have tried all the other browsers and they all load the panorama, which is very odd.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Update of firefox 3.6.4

    @'''Anne''':
    That is a tough one.
    I can only make it work if I disable OOPP for the Flash plugin and close and restart Firefox.
    It works if I copy and paste the URL of the Flash in the location bar, but as soon as I use HTML code then it fails.
    Apparently the plugin-container process isn't able to play that file.
    You can try to file a bug report for it on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ to see if anything comes up.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • SWF Files do not work in Firefox. My sites work fine in Explore & Safari? Why is this? I have updated all my plugins, reinstalled yet still nothing?

    Can you post a link?
    Does that only happen on that website or do you have that problem with all Flash content?

  • File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

    File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
    I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
    Thanks

    I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
    Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
    I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

  • "Always ask me where to save files" does not work.

    Summary: The "Always ask me where to save files" feature does not work. No dialog box comes up, apparently because the browser is stuck on a bad old read-only lastDir location, in a prefs.js file that I can't edit.
    Details:
    I am using Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has a both a read/write Mac partition that I use most of the time, and a bootcamp Windows partition drive ("C"), which I can read but not write to.
    At some point I accidentally tried to download a file from a site, using Firefox, to the read-only Windows C drive. Ever since that time, I have not been able to download any files from Firefox, except to the firefox/downloads folder. This is inconvenient. If, in preferences, I try to set downloads to ""Always ask me where to save files", the dialog box does not come up when I actually try to save files. This problem does not apply to saving photos by right-clicking them.
    If I open, in text-edit, mozilla/firefox/profiles/t4vockvue.default/prefs.js, which was saved yesterday, I can see a problematic line. It reads:
    user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc]");
    C:\\Documents and Settings\\[etcetc] being the read-only windows directory.
    This prefs.js is apparently not an editable file.
    I tried to fix this by opening a browser tab in Firefox and opening about:config. The editable browser.download.lastDir does NOT show the same "lastDir"....it shows some directory that I successfully downloaded photos to, by right-clicking on a photo.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks.

    To confirm which profile folder is active when you are running Firefox, it is easiest to open it from inside Firefox as follows:
    Sometimes the file that stores the customizations becomes corrupted and fails to update properly at the end of your session. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (Windows: "Show Folder" button).
    Hopefully you are using a separate profile folder on each OS.

  • Link in pdf-file does not work on Ipad

    With my site www.bartkuijer.nl I offer visitors the free possibility to see (and download) sheetmusic, from music written by me. These are pdf-files. But they can not only SEE the sheetmusic; the music on that pdf-files can also be PLAYED. That's done bij clicking on a link in that pdf-file to a mp3-file of the music on my site.
    This works fine on a pc. When I try this on the Ipad of my wife it DOES NOT WORK!
    So my question is: how come? And what to do to make this work also fine on an Ipad.
    This is important for me, because I want this sheetmusic to place as Ipad-apps for free.

    It works!
    But not with a pdf-file. The Ipad does not recognize links in a pdf-file.
    Te solution is found by making a htm-file with emdedding a quicktime-player and images of the music. This is my first Ipad product. On a pc the player starts immediately; on the Ipad it has to be started.
    Now I have to work on a solution to change this to an app

  • Error: ELM does not work from UI

    Hello guru´s,
    hard to explain this briefly, but here it goes.
    We´re trying to upload an ELM from UI, and it doesn´t work. But the thing is, if you just SAVE from UI (not launch), and then you go to CRMD_MKTLIST and you flag required fields, it works. But obviously, we need to do that from UI.
    Besides this, we´ve implemented a Badi CRM_MKTLIST_BADI for a specific format but it´s never called from UI; however, if we simulate the execution from SAP GUI, this BADI works correctly.
    Thanks in advance.

    SunSudio Express (December 2006 release) introduces some
    interesting new features, but there are still problems. For the first time,
    I was able to debug Fortran 90 applications in Linux, but debugging is
    still very limited. This is good to know that you were able to debug a f90 application
    on Linux. What problems do you see? Please, report them, and we
    will file them as bugs or RFEs (requests for enhancements).
    Furthermore, the Fortran error parser does not work, even when
    compiling using Sun's f95 compiler. Yes, you are right, this feature does not work yet.
    This is a heavy disadvantage. I assume that Fortran error parsing
    is not supported on Linux, although the tutorials don't make this
    point clear: Yes, it does not work yet on all platforms.
    In the Options window, there are settings concerning C/C++ (and
    its parser), but there are no similar options for the Fortran parser,
    even in "Advanced Settings" (which are similar to the old Options
    window). There will be similar options for Fortran.
    My Linux system is Debian 3.1 (Sarge), with JDK 1.5.0.09.JDK 1.5.0.09 is ok.
    We do not target Debian system, but we assume everything
    should work there (we test on Red Hat and SUSE).
    Good to know that our assumption is correct :-)
    I don't think that I'm doing something wrong, but I want to ask, just
    to be sure: has someone had seen the Fortran error parser working
    on Linux? No. It does not work on Linux, and it does not work on other platforms.
    What about Fortran word completion? No, this feature is not implemented yet.
    Thanks you for trying Sun Studio 12 Express release and for your report.

  • Some Flash files does not work in the Portal

    Hi,
    Anybody know why I have problems viewing some flash files in Content Management in the portal?
    The file extention is .swf
    I have a number of files. All of them works locally. When uploading them, there are a few of them that does not work.
    They can simply not be showed. Not in JSP and not by clicking on them. Very strange.

    Hi Flemming,
    this could be a compression problem. Try to disable output compresssion for .swf files and the corresponding mime type 'application/x-shockwave-flash'. Click <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ad/08d52d6d95864492a6a5931bb62716/frameset.htm">here</a> for more information how to disable compression.
    Regards, Roland
    PS: disabling compression for .swf is no performance problem, because they are already compressed.

  • 'GetInfo' file does not work!

    Hey Folks,
    I have a strange problem...
    I have just migrated on a PPC-G5 from an Intel processor Mac (I have used the migration assistant utility) and the 'GetInfo' file doesn't work. I cannot have access to any file informations.
    The most surprising thing is this problem happens under my account only. There is 2 account on the computer and the 'GetInfo' works fine when I am logged-in under the second account.
    Do some one have an idea?
    Thanks for your help,
    Arnaud

    The thing is I have migrated from a (slow) MacIntel to a (fast) PPC-G5, and not the opposite. The 'Get Info' file function does not work...
    The same rules apply. Migration Assistant migrates wholesale lots of elements of the operating system. You'll be finding a needle in a haystack trying to find the right thing that doesn't belong.
    Your best bet is to erase and install the operating system that came with the G5, and restore piecemeal the documents and applications which will run on a G5.
    A MacIntel should not be slow, unless you depend a lot on old PowerPC applications that require G5 or G4 power. MacIntels may require more RAM as well.
    Unfortunately the differences between CPUs are great enough that plugins and drivers simply don't transfer over well when done by the Migration Assistant.

  • Hyperlink to a music file does not work, Am I doing it incorrectly?

    Hello there. I am a composer, trying to add all my music samples to the website. I created a title of one of the music samples, then hyperlinked it to that corresponding music file (mp3), so, when you click on that title, it links it to THAT music file. But, it does not work when I click on the link. If I assign the link to another page for example, the link works. What am I doing wrong here. Or is this not possible? I would hate to have a whole list of music files on one page, especially with that "add image here" box on every one of them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    The file has to be uploaded to your server and then linked to as an external page using the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane with the option to open in a new window.
    You'll get the same effect as with the music example in this demo page but with a full sized window instead of a smaller one: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window.
    This method would let you add the links to all of your songs to one page. Or you could use a music jutebox for those songs like Roddy has on his iWeb for Musicians site:
    Jukebox Alive
    Juke It Jukebox
    This would reduce your site size considerably. But all these methods require you to upload the audio files to the server and link to them there.

  • Magic mouse forward backward swiping does not work from time to time

    Hello...
    from time to time the forward/backward swiping functionality of my magic mouse does not work (The scrolling works though). Disconnecting and reconnecting does not do the trick.
