Can't get rid of thin outline around embedded movie?

...even after setting it to "Invisible Rectangle" in the settings box.
I'm trying to get a flash animation, converted to quicktime movie (imported with legacy format option), embedded into the PDF, and then playing as the page becomes visible (i.e. the look you'd get if you were using powerpoint)
test file attached...
This is my 2nd preference as I was trying to get my flash animation embedded into my InDesign file which then was to be exported to PDF... but when I tried both quicktime movie and SWF it caused my Acrobat to "unexpectedly quit"... again and again... so after much frustration have given up and was trying to embed the quicktime movie into the PDF - which will be take up much more time as it's a 150 pg presentation in InDesign and every time I send the PDF for approval I will need to reimport the movies into the PDF... but at least it doesn't crash out... BUT just can't get rid of the thin black line around the movie.
I convinced the client to do the 150pg presentation in InDesign not powerpoint (as has been done previously) but need to offer them the same offering as powerpoint with all the animation - which I thought would be no problem with importing flash files into InDesign - but I'm finding it fraught with difficulties!
They'll be wishing they used Powerpoint!
Any help would be so much appreciated
PS using Adobe CS4, Mac OSX 10.4, Acrobat 9

Thanks very much for the response Sandee. I tried your suggestion of the  Annotation option and this worked! - wonderful.. altho this test now works for me I'd still love to get it working from InDesign.
What I'm trying to achieve... my client had 5 powerpoint presentations that need updating with new branding (totally about 160 pages - with about 20 basic animations - i.e. flashing lights on products etc).
I sold him on the idea of using InDesign/PDF rather than powerpoint - but am needing to find an easy solution for the animations. So I've been working on this test file. Have self taught myself on a basic flash animation (from Lynda.com)... and tried importing both SWF and QT .MOV into InDesign and then exporting to PDF and when it loaded up in Acrobat it would always "unexpectedly quit" upon opening... even after trying different versions of PDF compatibility and restarting etc.
Is there something obvious that I'm not doing right?
Also if I get it to work, does that mean that my client and all their staff around the world will need to be Acrobat Reader 9?
Thanks again for your time and help

  • Can't get rid of white border around image

    http://www.gunnar.ca/laminatepage2.htm
    I created a rounded corner in photoshop for my table. I
    created a cell in the bottom left corner of the table and placed
    the gif. There is a thin whit border around the outer edge of the
    gif, so it doesn't look genuinely rounded. Can anyone tell me how
    to get rid of that so it looks like the table is actually rounded?
    Thank you!

    Because the table containing the GIF has a border. In your
    styleA.css
    stylesheet, the rule:
    .border {
    border: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
    adds a border to the table. Delete the rule. Of course - that
    may affect
    other things that use the .border class. Or - delete the
    class from the
    table tag.
    Several problems with the page:
    styles.css cannot be found
    sideNavStyles.css cannot be found

  • Can't get rid of Thin line at bottom of images

      <a href="about.html"><img src="images/HOMEPAGE/homepage_title.png" alt="Get Started" class="columns" title="Get Started"/></a><br>
      <br>
    Hi, I can't figure out why my homepage images have a thin line at the bottom of the image. The image itself is not causing this but it must have something to do with the image tag or the CSS but I can't seem to get rid of it and it's driving me crazy. If anyone knows what may be causing this I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

    Best wishes,

    Adninjastrator, thanks for the link. I looked it over and if I have an image as a link, I don't want there to be a visible link so according to the link here. http://www.quackit.com/css/css_hyperlinks.cfm
    I should need to add this code if I don't want a visible link.
    a:link { text-decoration: none }
    Can you please tell me "where" I would add the above code. The site has 11 styles. What I 've been doing is selecting the image and then looking at the style associated with it and the image seems too use the "clearfix.css" style.. Can you lease tell me if this is correct and where I would add the code to the clearfix style? Thanks.
    Here is the code for the "Clearfix" style.
    .clearfix:after {
    content: ".";
    display: block;
    clear: both;
    visibility: hidden;
    line-height: 0;
    height: 0;
    html[xmlns] .clearfix {
    display: block;
    * html .clearfix {
    height: 1%;
    Put this code at the end of your styles (remove the previous one so that it does not interfere with this one) and then post back.
    Good luck.
    img {
        display: block;
    Jtanna and Murray, thanks for the reply.
    Would I still need that code or would it be better to edit the current code than to just keep adding code? Just curious. Can I not edit the code's text decoration to fix or is your solution better. If you solution is better then would I just add your code to the bottom of the CSS style above? Thanks. 

  • Can't get rid of black box around rendered HD footage.....

    I've read a thread about t
    he "black box" that appears in HD footage, but didn't find an answer.
    I use a PC, and edit with Adobe Premiere 3.0.
    I have a Canon camcorder that uses MiniDV HD tapes to capture the HD footage, because I wanted
    the tapes as back up, and the quality is better, in my opinion.
    I capture the footage with the HDV capture in Premiere.
    The captured file looks damn nice, full screen HD.  The book says the screen size is 1440 by 1080,
    but the actual screen size looks to be 1920 by 1080.
    When I open up the captured file in Real Player or Windows Media Player, there is no black on the sides,
    and two strips on the top and bottom that are maybe 1/4 an inch, not a problem.
    When I RENDER the editted footage, I click "export" and "movie"
    In the settings menu, under General, I choose"File Type" and "Microsoft AVI."
    In the Video section, I choose the "Cinepak Codec by Radius"
    Under Pixel Aspect Ratio, the options are:
      Square Pixels (1.0)
      D1/DV  NTSC (0.9)
      D1/DV  NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
      Anamorphic 2:1 (2.0)
      HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
      DVCPRO HD (1.5)
    There is also the Keyframe and Rendering menu on the left.
    When I try to use the top options, I get variation of the file with about a 1 1/2 to 2 inch black box on all sides, but the aspect
    is correct, or a 1 to 1 1/2 inch box at top, no box on the sides, but the frame is mushed down.
    Or the frame is square, and the vido image is pushed inward.
    An example of my initial video is below, where the aspect was correct:
    "Wildlife at Lake Fasse Point"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sisu86-HWV0
    If I play a rendered file in Windows Media Player, even if I hit "Double Size" or "Play Full Screen," the edges will STILL be bounded
    by that big black box.
    I appreciate any help.

  • Can't get rid of original audio after importing movie

    I downloaded a video from YouTube. It saved as .m4v.
    I then dragged it into GarageBand. The movie was on one track, the audio on another.
    I deleted the original audio track and created my own.
    I then exported to my hard drive and the movie (.mov) plays just fine with my new audio (in QuickTime).
    I then uploaded that to YouTube, but it plays there with the original audio, not my track.
    What to do?

    nbar wrote:
    http://www.youtube.com/t/contentid
    See above. There is probably some remaining metadata that needs to be stripped from the file before uploading. I would examine the .mov file attributes and look for any tags that youtube originally used to recognize the file. IE as suggested above, the name.
    Examine the metadata in your Terminal:
    mdls yourmovie.mov
    Okay, I'll check all this out. Thanks.

  • How can I get rid of that annoying white circle in that black square

    Since Oct. 7 last I have a 5S. Before had a 4S. About 4S no complaints, so the 5S maybe faster, better cam and so on but what I really hate it that stupid white circle in a black square you can move around on your screen. However when you want to open, for instance <messages> and that white circle is very near, messages will not be opened but a uselless black sub scrn with favorites, Siri, Device, Home. How can I get rid of that or delete or move it, it will no longer be visible on my scrn.

    Yes, you are right. I must have done it myself during the first days while exploring the many options after the initial set up was done. On the 4S, I still have, and also running under OS7, it was disabled that's why I thought it was default in the 5S; wrong thinking. Thanks a lot for your great help.

  • A box with a blue outline appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. I can't get rid of it, and it obstructs the view of the bookmarks as I scroll up or down. Help!

    I was trying to bookmark a page, using the "Choose" menu in the bookmarks. I must have touched a key by accident, and a box with a blue outline & the name of one of my folders appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. At first the box contained the folder name, then I was trying to delete the box, and erase the name, thinking it might get rid of the box, but it didn't. I can't get rid of this box! It obstructs the view of what is underneath. It stays in the same position as I scroll up & down in the drop-down menu, and it hides what is underneath. Please help me get rid of this box. It is driving me crazy! Thanks!

    I just noticed your page has no css. so in Code View, replace this closing tag:

    with this:
    <style type="text/css">

    Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
    You can check your USB drivers this way:
    Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
    Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
    Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
    Click on the Driver tab
    Click on the Driver Details button
    You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
    So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
    From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
    Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
    Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
    Hope this helps someone.

    Hi there,
    I'm struggling to get rid of the gap around the edge of the website I've just started building.  I've got the margins set to 0 for the top, and the divs are 100% width.  Does anybody have any ideas?  I've attached a picture to demonstrate and also please see the code pasted in below, in case that's useful.
