Trying to export to .swf but keep getting an .html format file

Surprise surprise, I'm confused again.
I am trying to export a Keynote '08 slide presentation to .swf to enable it to play in my web site. When I look at the exported files, it has the .swf extension but the info for the file shows it as a html document. when I upload it, it won't play and I get the message that QuickTime can not open that file type.
Any ideas please?
Cheers...Scotty

SWF stands for Small Web Format and, nowadays, is used to embed a flash video into a browser viewable document.
More details about SWF here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF
The .html file simply contains the link to the .swf document so you will need both the files to view the presentation inside a browser, i.e. open the html and you will be presented with the video.
I know that some .swf play directly but the right way is to use the html file or better, it's possible to make a swf self running but not all the applications act this way.
Don't forget that without the flash player browser plugin the file will not be visible.
cheers

    trying to log into firefox but keep getting firefox is in offline mode and can't browse the web, I've unchecked the work offline in the file menu but still get error message...

    The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
    Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

    i have tried to restore my iphone but keep getting error 1015 any suggestion

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

    Hi Barbara,
    I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7,  who like myself was a newbie on this platform,  b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
    If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.
    Regards
    John

  • HT201413 i have tried resetting my iphone 4 but keep getting an error code at the end (34)

    I HAVE AN IPHONE 4, I HAVE TRIED RESETTING THE PHONE BUT KEEP GETTING AN ERROR CODE AT THE END OF THE RESET ie;34, ANY IDEAS PLEASE

    I'm not certain thats the problem. I stopped antivirus, I set screensaver to NOT trigger and yet it took me FOUR DAYS to completely sync my ipod touch. Stupid me decided to try it with the iPad and guess what...it's been three days and STILL timing out.
    I don't think Steve Jobs died; I think they upgraded him to iOS5, he crashed and they could not restore him.
    THIS UPGRADE *****. They rushed it out the door to get the fancy-dancy voice command thing on the iphones and yet that feature does not help ipod or ipad users.

  • I have tried to recover my photos but keep getting a blank screen and it doesn't rest Iphoto

    Can anybody help me recover my photos on Iphoto i followed the steps of getting the rest screen up but it goes blank and doesnt progress the full recovery.

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • IPhone told me I needed to restore and update, also said the phone did not have an IMEI number. I tried to restore from iTunes but keep getting an error message.

    Ok I need help. I went to use my phone, put in my passcode, emergency dial came up, then the phone said I didn't have an imei #. I hit the back button and then I was told I needed to restore and update using iTunes. I tried several times to do this and my phone is still not working. It acts like it's updating, but once the bar reaches the other side of my phone, iTunes tells me there was an error. I used all the ports on my pc, changed cables, restarted my pc, and still nothing. Can anyone please help me. This phone is my life and I can't afford to get another one.

    Sounds like you might need to take it to an Apple Store but if it is an iPhone 3G it would no longer be under warranty.
    Looking at the Apple Store online you can get an iPhone 3GS from $49 on AT&T if it comes to having to get a new one. Your other option is second hand.
