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.

"Apply Active Content Update" message ONLY in Firefox

Here's my new website:
www.ClampTools.com
When I view it in IE it looks great. When I view it in
Firefox (like for the Press link) I get this error:
This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js. In Flash run
"Apply Active Content Update" in the Commands menu to copy
AC_RunActiveContent.js to the HTML output folder.
I already did all of this and yes the js file is there, in
the same directory. Any ideas why this isn't working?
Thanks!

FIREFOX FIX FOR VS.NET 2005 USERS:
This issue happens when using Visual Studio 2005 as the
editor.
I copied the <HEAD> portion of a page that worked and
pasted it in the bad page. When saving the file in the VS editor it
gives me this message:
Some Unicode characters in this file could not be saved in
the current
codepage. Do you want to resave this file as Unicode in order
to maintain
your data? Yes, No, Save With Other Encoding or Cancel
I selected NO and everything is fine.

Active Content Update Issue

I hope someone can help me! Here is the deal, I want to make
a button that will open a blank page with a PDF document. I can get
it to work with GETurl, but I cannot figure out how to apply active
content update to the new page. It works fine on a Mac, but on a PC
when the new window opens I get the warning messages and have to
click the top bar and say "allow content etc.". Does anyone know
what code I can use to tell the new html page to apply the active
content update? Or can anyone tell me a better way to achive the
same thing.
Thanks

Active Content has nothing to do with performance of the
movie.
It is in regard to licensing of the player technology -
nothing else.
Perhaps the clients do not have the latest player and low in
resources
machines ? Your movie seem overly big for what it does.
Probably reducing
quality of images and sound w/o losing much of an actual
quality could cut
the file down at least to 1MB, help the playback a bit.
It could be real drainage for older machines.
The video works for me just fine so my guess is they simply
do not have
compatible player.

Active Content Update HTML behavior

I am rebuilding all my flash websites to address the
double clicking and framing issue due to MicroSoft's IE ActiveX
controls. I should have done this months ago, but I'm a Mac user
and no one freakin told me. I now also have a Vaio LS1 "very cool".
Anyway I have downloaded and installed the MX extention and figured
that one out, no problem. It has been simple to create swf
conatiners with revised html published form the Flash 8 engine. My
new problems lie in 2 areas, html background tiles and preloaders;
1 – I can't seem to center the swf (no scaling) and put
page tiles in the html that are visible. The only way I seem to be
able to center the swf is the make the html 100% instead of the swf
pixel size. If I go for a transarent window it screws with the
color. I believe I need to put a command in the code that specifies
to add the tile background to the html table that Flash has
created. I just haven't been able to get it to work... Anybody
solve this one?
2 – I have been using 2 preloaders, one that loads the
frames of the movie it is in and the other loads an external movie.
I have not been able to get either of them to work properly accross
the various browsers when I'm using swf containers and the Active
Content Update. I'm totally bug-eyed reading through all the techno
babble published here and on the MSN sites. Anybody got the right
preloader code to load external movies into swf containers (that
recognizes first frame (stop) script) with the Active Content
Update html?

aniebel,
Thank you for the answer to #1. I've now got it in the middle
of the screen.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why my controls are
not visible! I've tried Firefox and IE.
Somebody is going to know what's going on. Here's the quick
summary...
If you go to
http://www.Imagine1Group.com
you will see that there are no controls at the bottom for [SKIP
INTRO] or [SOUND]
However, if you go to
http://www.Imagine1Group.com/imagine1intro.swf
you will see the controls are clearly at the bottom of the flash.
Please, any ideas?

Active content update

I have downloaded and installed the active content update to
publish my flash.
However I can't get the swf to be center aligned to the
browser. I can get it left and right, but not center.
the part of the code that holds the details on the swf are as
follows.... PLease note this is how it default publishs when you
ask for it to be center aligned in the publish settings.
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase', '
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0',
'width', '950',
'height', '650',
'src', 'stage185',
'quality', 'high',
'pluginspage', '
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'showall',
'wmode', 'window',
'devicefont', 'false',
'id', 'stage185',
'bgcolor', '#00ff00',
'name', 'stage185',
'menu', 'true',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'movie', 'stage185',
'salign', 'center'
You would have thought that perhaps the
'align', 'middle',
should infact be
'align', 'center',
but this doesn't work. However if you change it to right it
right aligns the movie.. how do you centeralise it?
Many thanks to any responders.

15 seconds later I find the answer on the forum!!!!! sorry.
Thanks 'ggshow'..

Active Content Update ruins my Flash Intro

Forum,
I installed the Active Content Update to get rid of the
"Click here to Activate this Content" message during mouseovers on
my Flash Intro.
However, now that the message is gone, I have two problems
that are somehow being controlled by the AC_RunActiveContent.js or
something.
1. The flash is supposed to be centered on the screen, but
instead it's in the upper left. Even the html calls for it to be
middle.
2. The "Skip Intro" and "Sound" controls are gone
Can anybody help me understand what happened and what I need
to do to fix it?
You can see where I'm at by going to: www.imagine1group.com

I appreciate any help. I'm kind of new to this.

Flash Active Content Update extension

I am using flash for advertising, and I usually link to the
customers page by this:
on (release) {
getURL(clickTag, "blank");
and in the script to publish the flash is this:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="
http://www.somesite.no/flash.swf?clickTag=http://www.customersite.no">
Question:
How do I do that with the new Flash Active Content Update
script?

I found out myself, and here are the solution:
In the long list you have to add the url like this:
'movie', 'flash?clickTag=http://www.customersite.no',

Targeting SWF via JS with Active Content update

Hi all, I've tried the DW8 forum without success, can anyone
here help please?
I have to upgrade an old site which uses Javascript to
control Flash content. If I allow Dreamweaver 8 to implement the
Active Content code fix for the IE interactivity workaround , the
external javascript controls no longer work.
Can anyone advise what must be changed to allow the external
JS to target the SWF correctly?
Here's an example of the current external JS that triggers an
SWF file OK when clicked.
"window.document.myMovie.Play();"
thanks

I use SWFObject to embed the Flash, which fixes the IE
issues, and have no
issues still controlling the movie from JS like you
mentioned.
You can get SWFObject here:

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...

Where is the Content-Update for SLD?

Hello SDN!
where I can find the Content-Patch for SLD?
In documentation I found: the following path Support Packages ->SAP->Technology Componennts-SAP-Masterdata for SLD.
But there is no such a path in SMP. There is a Path:
Support Packages and Patches -> Entry by Application Group-> SAP Technology Components-> SAP CR CONTENT-> SAP MASTER DATA FOR SLD 2.0. But under this link I found only some ZIP's from 2007 ????
If I should take the SAP CR Content - what should I take for my NW 7.01 - SLD from 2009 or earlier?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Why to you want to update CR If you have latest anyway? If there is latest available at later date then just go for the delta.

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 Update QUESTION!!!

I noticed recently that a new update for windows forces a
user to "click to activate activeX control". To bypass this, I
downloaded the update for Flash 8 from this site. However, an error
message seems to pop up once and a while in AOL's browser about the
update not working or something....and there are a few limitations
I've noticed.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA, I'd be very thankful... Oh yeah, I'm
a newbie, so the easier the better. Thanks in advance!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! :)

are you the developer of sites? if you are not and think that
this update is the cure-all for
abybody who browses the web, you are mistaken - the update is
for developers to implement into their
codes as a work-around.

How do I change my network settings to active to update for my IPhone 4??

I am trying to update my IPhone 4, after it downloads the file and when it goes to update it says "Network connection timed Out" Make sure your network conditions are active and try again later. My network connections are active and my internet connection does not timed out during the process.
Does anyone know how to resolve this????
Thanks

Yes, and had you searched the forum before posting, you'd have had your answer already.
Turn off all antivirus and firewall programs before downloading.
