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.

"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!

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 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 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',

'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:

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.

Active content update and aspx pages

i understand that Microsoft recently released an update to
Internet Explorer that changes how Internet Explorer handles some
web pages that use interactive controls. i have downloaded the
update and have included the java script on my site. and so far i
have not had any issues getting this to work with any of my html
pages. however, when i have any flash work on my aspx pages the
grey bar still appers around my work.
what do i need to do to get my flash to work with aspx pages.
any information will help. thanks.

Check your code. You are using the object tags:

Active Content - Flash - fix for Contribute Users

Greetings,
I have a group of users that use Contribute. Many of these
users create Flash Paper forms and embed them in a standard
template. These individuals do not work with HTML or JavaScript.
Recently a security patch for IE has been applied to the
organization. This patch includes the IE Run Active Content patch.
Now, when Contribute users apply Active Content and post their
pages they get the "Click to activate this content" message and a
bounding box around the Flash Paper content.
Right now I know there are two work-arounds that fix this
problem, unfortunately it requires someone usingJavascript and
Dreamweaver (or hand coding) rather than Contribute. As Contribute
users they do not have the rights to modify parts of the template.
Unfortunately that part of the template is where work-around
javascript would be placed.
Is there a way for content providers to apply the fix rather
than having a Dreamweaver Admin apply a fix? Is there a javascript
modification that changes one of the two work arounds
(AC_RunActiveContent.js and swfobject.js). These folks are not
posting to an IIS server. They are using standard HTML templates.
Thank you,
TPK

Active Content Extension w/ URL Variables

Hi,
I am using the Flash Active Content extension and I need my
.swf to get a variable dynamically from my URL - how do I do
this?

I am using the Flash Active Content extension - for more
info:
http://www.adobe.com/go/7c29e252
This extension is a workaround so the user does not have to
click in the flash area to activate it for use, due to the IE
Active Content Update. It uses an external .js file to embed the
.swf file.
What I am asking is if my URL variable changes from
"www.website.com/index.php?myURL=red" to
"www.website.com/index.php?myURL=blue", how do I get the PHP to get
that information?

Center SWF after Active Content applied

Hi, I've set my SWF to publish with the Adobe Active Content
extension and have generated the .js file but I can't figure out
how to now center my SWF on the page. Where do I go to add a table
or is that not possible?
Thanks!

Insert > Table
also
under the "Common" tab there should be a "Table" icon. It is
the 4th icon from the left on mine.
Hope that helped...
