Active content fix for ad placement?

OK, I've read all about the JS fix for active content but
what do you do if you don't control the HTML container for the
Flash ad. We're new to Flash ad development, will most sites allow
us to include a custom JS script to embed the ad or do they just
take the SWF? If they just take the SWF, how do we address the
active content issue?

You complain to whoever hosts the ad .. there is nothing you
can do yourself
.. the host for the ad will have to fix their own html.

Active Content Fix gone?

Hello,
Just began playing around with DW CS4, and have run into a
problem with .swf files. The Active Content fix for IE is no longer
there. The new files it creates in a Script folder do not seem to
solve that problem. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
DW now installs swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf
in a script folder. I imagine this is supposed to take care of the
situation, but it doesn't. One must first click to the .swf on a
webpage, in order to interact with it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Recent versions of Internet Explorer don't need the Active
Content fix,
so it has been replaced by a different script that validates
and works
cross-browser.

Using manual JS Active Content Fix, but now how do I append the *.swf?

Hi all I am using this method to fix the Active Content
issue,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html#multipleoccurrences
but now I have come across a situation when I have to append
the end of the .swf.
EG: Active content fix script. It does not use the extension
.swf
<script type="text/javascript" >
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase',
'https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0',
'width', '764',
'height', '141',
'src', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',

'pluginspage',
'https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'showall',
'wmode', 'window',
'devicefont', 'false',
'id', 'footer_graphic_1_about',
'name', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',
'menu', 'true',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'movie', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',
'salign', ''
); //end AC code
</script>
I need to add .swf?<%response.write qs%>" to the
images/footer_graphic_1_about, because I am passing a variable
through the .swf.
Eg: images/footer_graphic_1_about.swf?intro=no
Any help would be great.

SShould read that page two has a multistate, not multitask.

IE Active content fix breaks my page!

So I have version 7 SWF on a page, and DW8 wants to apply its
"IE Active
Content block fix" to the page, after which time, the SWF no
longer shows
up. The page just sits there bank. There had been a posting
here months ago
about a cgc.js fix, but I can't find the details on that
now...
Has anyone else run into this? How should we handle it?
Thanks

<sigh>
Upload the Scripts folder that the fix places in your Local
root folder.
This is asked and answered about 10 times a day here.

Adobe Active Content Fix

Just a note to Adobe and a fair warning to those using Flash.
The Adobe
Active Content deployment fix seems to be problematic on
complex pages.
That is, any page that contains more than just Flash,
especially other
scripts. We're urging our customers not to use it and urge
Adobe to have
a serious look at this workaround. Strictly in terms of
scripting
protocol, and with respect to code aesthetics, it's an
"interesting"
piece of work and could be responsible for page hangs in some
browsers.

Active content update for dw8

Hi guys, I've just installed the active content updater found
at
http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dw8
and reopened my html files that contain flash and agreed to the
prompt. I then saved changes and uploaded the files to my ftp but
the flash content seems to have disappeared in the html file
comlpetely! An example of one of the pages is here:
http://www.cambridgestainedglass.co.uk
where it should contain this flash movie:
http://www.cambridgestainedglass.co.uk/flash/home.swf
. this is really annoying does anyone have any ideas why. I have
updated another site I have done and that worked fine. Please help.
Thanks

Upload the NEW Scripts folder that DW8.0.2 now places in the
root of your
site.

Active content fix

Hi people.
Sorry to be a pain with what may be a silly question.
In Flash Professional (9) how do you get to the preferences
to turn on the built in fix for dealing with those nasty borders
and the popup message when you use Flash content on
websites.........
I have had this problem for some time and I am sorry to be a
dummy, but I just cannot work it out and it annoys me no
end........
Thanks in advance
Glen Gibbs
Glen

Just publish your movie - Flash CS3 will generate an
"AC_RunActiveContent.js" file - upload it with
your swf and html in the same folder.

Workaround? - Using Interpret Footage AME renders active content only for original movie length

I submitted a bug on this behavior, but I am hoping that someone has found a workaround or maybe I am just using Interpret Footage incorrectly.
Here is the problem:
1. Import 20 second long 23.976fps source file into AME
2. Right-click item in Queue and choose Interpret Footage
3. Choose "Assume this frame rate:" and set to 18fps - Duration will update as expected to 0:00:26;19
Results:
Output file will have correctly re-timed active content up to 0:00:20;00 and then hold that frame (which correctly corresponds to 0:00:15;00 from the source file) to the end of the file at 0:00:26;18
Expected results:
Output file should contain the full content of the source file re-timed for the new duration.
NOTE: This behavior will also be apparent in the Export settings Preview window prior to encoding.
Mac OSX 10.7.5
AME: 6.0.2.81 (64-bit)

We are actually generating the files ourselves and keeping them 23.976fps (or 25fps for PAL-country clients). We're interpreting the incoming 23.976fps file as 18fps because that is the speed at which it was shot. Super-8 sound film like most other sound film was 'supposed' to be shot / projected at 24fps, but many shooters used 18fps to get more time out of a 50-foot camera load. Our company provides 24p (or 25p) files to clients, and in addition to providing 1 to 1 representations of their film at 23.976fps, we also provide 24p files with duplicate frames inserted so they are easy to work with in NLEs, yet approximate the correct motion for material that was shot at 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 fps. Our Apple Compressor workflow works great for the 90+% of material that is silent or is sound film shot at 24fps. We would experiment with moving the entire speed-correction workflow to AME if it solved the 18in24 sound problem, and it _almost_ does. The behavior I described is obviously a bug and not 'works as intended' - it will then be a question of whether such an outside use case gets any attention. If I can come up with another use case that would be more popular, then I might get more visibility for the bug. I suppose that some may wish to batch out 24p files from 25p files using the same technique. That is, throw a pile of 25p files into AME, interpret them as 23.976 and write them out to 24p files. I would expect that the last 4% of those files would show a freeze frame...

Active Content Fix Firefox

I have seen this asked here before but I have not seen an
answer.
I have embedded a Windows Media file into a page, run the
Dreamweaver AC fix, uploaded the Scripts to the server, and here is
the result:
http://www.fallettacompetition.org/test.html.
If you are seeing what I am seeing. Both instances of the
video play in IE7, sure you have to click to activate the bottom
instance, but it plays. In FF, the top instance, with the AC fix
doesn't even show up. The bottom w/o the fix does.
Anybody have a work around/solution? Thanks for taking a
look.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Active Content Fix Troubleshooting

Well the title says it all. Every fix I've tried makes my
flash movies, go white at the beginning. Like flashes of light.
This isnt happening on all my pages, thought, just some. Yet they
are all set up the same, using DW MX Does anyone know about this
issue? Is there a solution?
TIA
Amelia

Amelia;
The white flash symptom is usually caused by the default
background
color of white being displayed for an instant before the
movie is
initialized. It can be corrected in most cases by adding a
bgcolor
parameter/attribute in the object embed tags.

Active Content Fix in Firefox

I just updated a couple of sites with the Adobe AC fix. The
one site, with flash embeded, works fine in IE7 and Firefox (no
"click to activate"). The other site, with the AC fix, works fine
in IE&, but the embeded Windows Media Player does not show up
in Firefox. If I remove the AC fix stuff, it works fine in both IE7
and Firefox, but the click to activate is obviously there in IE7.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Active Content "fixes"

Can I now safely remove the NoIEActivate scripts from my

Thanks for your counsel

Thanks Ken
I wasn't sure but my older IE versions were all updated

Active content removed? SWF published

Hi
When I put my flash movie online I am getting a message at
the top which reads 'Active content removed' - can anyone tell me
how to get round this? I assume it is the organisation I work for
-browser security settings...but what script would enable me to
avert this?
Many thanks
Jude
