Absolute URLs not working when file is on a remote server.

My client has asked me to provide a template for an investor relations section of their website. The HTML page or template for this page will be at the service providers site, but all the images etc. for the page will be linked to files on my clients server. Everything looks fine, but the absolute URL's in the .swf file back to my clients site aren't working.
This is what the service provider's guidlines say, but I'm not sure where the code is supposed to go:
Similarly, newer versions of the Flash Media Player installed by most users have a high level of security enabled by default. This is done to prevent Flash movies from playing on web pages that are hosted on different domains than the movie itself (again, to combat “phishing” or “spoofing”).
You do have the ability to overwrite this feature by proactively developing your Flash file so that it contains the following lines of code:
System.security.allowDomain(“*”)
stem.security.allowInsecureDomain(“*”)
Sy
You should also add the following line of HTML within the embedded Flash call in your HTML template:
<param name=”AllowScriptAccess” value=”always” />
This solution requires edits to the ActionScript of the pre-compiled Flash file, and is not something we can edit. For further guidance and more information, please speak with the developer of your Flash file.
Thanks

the easiest way to deal with security issues is to avoid them. if all files are on the same server, use relative urls.
otherwise, you may have to deal with security issues. whether you do or not, and if you do, how you deal with them, depends on what you're trying to do.
you may be able to use System properties but you may need cross-domain security files.

Absolute URL not working for reply in workflow

I've setup a workflow that will email a group when a new discussion or reply is added. I get the email with the subject of the discusssion and the absolute URL for new discussions, but when a reply is created the email comes without the subject and the absolute
URL goes to a page that doesn't exist.

Hi,
When it comes to a reply in the discussion list, you need to take extra steps to get the URL. You can set the workflow actions like this:
If Current Item: Content Type ID equals Discussion
Email user group(use the Encoded Absolute URL in the email content)
Else if Current Item: Content Type ID equals Message
Email user group( Use this URL in the email body:
http://servername/Lists/Team%20Discussion/Flat.aspx?RootFolder=%2FLists%2FTeam%20Discussion%2F[%Current Item:Discussion Subject%]. This will link you to the flat view of the discussion. If you want to link to the display form for the message, you can set
the URL like this:
http://servername/Lists/Team%20Discussion/DispForm.aspx?ID=[%Current Item:ID%])
Thanks,

Captivate 5.5 project -links are not working when i publish to the IE server

I was wondering if someone had a solution to my Captivate 5.5 project with external links.
Here is my problem:
I have a page that has an external link that opens another window.
For some reason the window will open in preview. However, when I publish to the IE browser it does not work.
Does someone have a solution to this problem? I saw some verbiage that stated adjusting something swf file. I don't quite understand were to change this file. Is it in Captivate?
Any information you have is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Google for information about Flash Global Security.
It looks like you need to trust the publish folder location as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings.

Jpeg image loaded with Loader- loadBytes() does not display when app is deployed on remote server

I am loading a JPEG image from the server, using the Loader->loadBytes() and that works when the app is deployed under my local Tomcat server. When I deploy it on other servers the image is not displayed, instead of the image I see II*
On the server side I have java, Spring, BlazeDs and I use RemoteObject on the client.
The code that loads the image looks like below:
private function imageLoadResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
    var result:ArrayCollection = event.result as ArrayCollection
    var bytes : ByteArray = result.getItemAt(0) as ByteArray;
    _loader = new Loader();
    _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
    _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loaderFaultHandler);
    _loader.loadBytes(bytes);
private function loaderCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
    var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = event.currentTarget as LoaderInfo;
    var img:Image = new Image();
    img.source = loaderInfo.content;
    myPanel.addChild(img);
<mx:RemoteObject id="ro" destination="imageLoadService">
     <mx:method name="loadImage" result="imageLoadResultHandler(event)" fault="faultHandler(event)" />
</mx:RemoteObject>
Any help with this problem is much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi Dmitri,
Thank you for the prompt reply, your question about the jpeg content was a helpful pointer.
I solved the problem, it had nothing to do with flex, it was all on the java side. The image was obtained from converting a TIFF to a JPEG, the conversion was failing and the flex loader was receiveing a tiff and it did not know how to display it.
The java problem was kind of interesting, I'll post it here as an FYI in case anybody cares :
On my server the first writer returned by ImageIO was an instance of JPEGImageWriter and on the other servers was CLibJPEGImageWriter. And it happens that only JPEGImageWrite can write the type of TIFF that we are having.
The fix was to iterate through all the writers and pick the instace of JPEGImageWrite, instead of the first one found.

Transparent Button Link to URL not working when I publish

I am using mulitple tranparent buttons (over text) as a link to open a URL file in a seperate window on our company intranet. I created this file 6 months ago and it always works fine. Today, I needed to update the file and add another transparent button to link to a new url. When I preview the file, everything works fine and a browser window will open showing the correct web page but when I publish the file, nothing happens. None of the links work.
I have updated this file in the past and I have never had a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions. This should be a two minute update for me but has turned into a big problem.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff
What you might consider doing is to declare a common output folder. Then flag that folder as safe. Normally that's a one off and it just holds. But you do have the option of clearing the list of "safe" folders. Perhaps something clobbered that at some point.
Additionally, once you copy the content to a web server and view it in the browser using a URL, you shouldn't have any concerns. The link should work for all users.
Cheers... Rick

The Open URL or File function is not working when I publish as a exe?

The Open URL or File function is not working when I publish as a exe. I have tried putting the exe in the same location as the files with no luck. How do I get the buttons to function properly with a exe file.

Have you set the Publish folder as a trusted location in Flash Global Security?
If not, please read this post:

You cannot move audio from the viewer

Hyperlinks to pdf files not working when project is exported out as SWF and uploaded to server

hI all
I'm using CS5 and i have hyperlinks to pdf files in my indesign project. However when i export to SWF, although the links work locally, they do not work when i upload all the relevant folders and files and test it from a server the links to the pdfs can not be found, the error messages indicates its looking for the files on my hard drive. I have also noticed that if i copy all the relevant folders and files and exported swf to a different directory and then launch swf from there the links do not work there either.
Other than seperately uploading each pdf indvidually on to the server and then creating a hyperlink to it from the local indesign project i don't know what else to do.
Any advice much appreciated.

I have your same problem, but didn't consider uploading the PDFs and then linking to them. I'm willing to try it. Let me know if you ever found a better way, ok?
Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

That could be an indication your drive is failing. If you do not have a current Backup, that is top priority.

ExternalInterface not working when swf file is embed inside a dynamically cloned DIV element.
It seems that flash movie is identifed as 'undefined' inside document.
//a statically placed div

var dynDiv =staticdiv.cloneNode( true );
var xD=50;

In above situation communication is not establised when a funtion which is retruning boolean is called from flash using
ExternalInterfcae.call.The return value of this function is getting as false inside flash.But the value is true in javascript.
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
   return window[movieName];
} else {
   return document[movieName];
window["external"] is returning as 'undefined'.
Please give a solution to solve this.

Note that you have different file names for the object (images/banner.swf) and the embed (images/banner1.swf)
You also placed the embed in the middle of a param tag and nested all param tags.
Because you didn't include a MIME type and the object doesn't have a classid for an ActiveX control for IE, I'm not sure what Firefox will be using.<br />
The object doesn't have a data attribute to specify the file.<br />
A separate embed is only needed when you specify a classid in the object.
<pre><nowiki><div class="bannercontainer">
<object width="940" height="445" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/banner.swf" >
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="images/banner.swf" />
</object>
</div></nowiki></pre>

I added preset motions to my interactive pdf file. It's not working when I export my file as an interactive pdf. It's working when I play it on the Preview panel. I must not be doing something right. Does anybody have any clue what I need to do to have my presets motions work when played on Acrobat

So do you mean export the whole document in a swf file format and then bring the whole swf file in and save it as a pdf file. Is there way to export these motion presets seperately and bring them back into Indesign. I wish it was less difficult but I guess there is no way around it for the time being.

Is this bad?
No. Ignore it.
What does this mean?
That you have the current OS version installed.
As far as I know, I have not installed any Remote Access software on my Mac.
It's part of the OS.
