Cannot convert using Flash paper

Hi. Apologies if this problem has been discusseed before. I
have tried to convert a very simple document to Flash Paper. It
goes through the motions up to the 'Please Wait - Converting' . But
then it just hangs and i never get my document changed over. I have
tried it on my 2 pcs - one with XP and one with Vista. And the same
happens on both. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jairo, you can try something like this:
FlashPrinter.exe c:\PDF2SWF\2060875.pdf -o c:\PDF2SWF\2060875-8.swf;
Still, you will need to consider some delay because the transformation can take some time and the batch program will continue calling the FlashPrinter program.
Regards,
Max.

Error Printing using flash paper

I have flashpaper 2.0 installed onto a windows XP Pro SP2, a
particular user is not able to use the flash paper printer. He just
gets Windows XP Printer Error box with 'Error printing - An unknown
error occured'.
There is an entry in the printer's queue, it too is marked
with 'Error - printing'.
When i log in (i'm an admin user) it works fine.
Any clues on where to look?

I have the same problem. Installed Studio 8 with Contribute 3
and FPV2 on WIN XP PRO SP2. I can't print to FlashPaper; I just get
the "Error-Printing" in the print queue. I have admin privledges
but still have the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
Contribute twice. I have downloaded FPV2 drivers. I have tried
adding FPV2 drivers through WIN XP 'Add Printer" process and always
the same thing.

Avi to FLV converting using Flash 8

I'm trying to convert an avi file that works perfectly to a
FLV file using Macromedia Flash 8.
The info for the avi file is the following:
Codec: a52
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 256 kb/s
The FLV file is trying to converted to the following:
Video Codec: On2 VP6
Audio Codec: MPEG Layer III (MP3)
Audio data rate: 96 kbps (Stereo)
After convertion the video looks fine but there is no audio.
I tried selecting another audio codec on Flash 8 but the only
codec showing is MPEG Layer III (MP3). And its gray out. No option
to select something else.
Do I need to install another codec so I can listen to the
audio after converting?
Thanks.

I think your avi is encoded at MPEG1 and it needs to be MPEG2
for the audio to not get dropped during the conversion. I use
VideoRedo to convert the avi files, and you can also try SUPER
converter or AutoGK to do it as well.

Cannot convert to flash.display:DisplayObject

Hey all, my first post so bear with me, hopefully I can explain what it is I'm trying to do ...
I have an empty mc on the stage called "infoloader" and I'm trying to dynamically load a mc called "my_info0" from the library into the empty "infoloader".
My function references an XML array of thumbnails, which trigger movieclips to load into the FLVPlayback depending on which thumbnail is clicked.
====================
//function to load videos
function callVideo(e:MouseEvent):void{
var video_url = my_images[e.target.name].@VIDEO;
vidplayer.source = video_url;
vidplayer.play();
====================
All is good there.
I also have a mouse over listener to drop info about the video for each thumbnail. (it actually just plays the referenced clip)
====================
//Mouse Over Functions - drops descriptions
function descDrop(e:MouseEvent):void{
var t = "dropVid" + [e.target.name];
this[t].gotoAndPlay("down");
====================
So far so good.
Using the same concept as the mouse over listener I thought I could load a referenced movie clip from the library, "info0", into my empty movie clip on the stage "infoloader".
====================
//Function to load video info
function callDescription(e:MouseEvent):void{
var d = "info" + [e.target.name];
infoloader.addChild(d);
//trace(d);
====================
No cigar so far.
If I trace "d" I get what I want ... info0 ... but I can't seem to get it to load the "info0" mc into the "infoloader".
I've tried a whack of ideas, but I'm open to any suggestions.
(I want to include buttons in "info0" so I don't want to just add text to my xml file and load that)
This is what I'm looking to accomplish ... http://coleclark-america.com/sn2010.asp
This is last years version and doesn't use xml, but had a whole lotta repeated code, just trying to expedite.
Hopefuly there's enough code here, if not, let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Ter

This line...
var d = "info" + [e.target.name];
is creating a string. A string is not a display object. You mentioned something about it being a library object. Is that the class name that you have assigned to the object in the library (not its library name)?

Loading Landscape PDF in flash Paper

I am using Flash Paper to load different pdf's in flash but i
am facing one problem that once i convert any pdf that is on
landscape size it will rotate the pdf in swf and it looks like a4
size so any idea how to fix it

Bob,

otherwise),
> which seems an amazing blind spot from Adobe.
It's not really a blind spot. Adobe obviously cares about
both
products, and in fact, both products can be intermixed in AIR
(Adobe
Integrated Runtime), a separate runtime available on the
Adobe.com site.
There are a number of technical reasons you can't embed a
PDF directly
into a Flash movie. For one, Flash Player only supports a
limited subset of
the HTML specification -- a subset that, for better or worse,
excludes table
cells, and (importantly) the <embed> tag. But even more
importantly, Flash
Player doesn't support the Acrobat plugin. Your browser does,
which is why
you're able to embed a PDF into an HTML document. The browser
can display
the PDF because you've installed the Acrobat browser plugin
(or ActiveX
control). Flash Player itself has no such plugin.
> I can achieve the same result by using Flash Paper from
> Studio 8, but this is not included in CS3.
If you still have Flash Paper installed, you can keep right
on using it!
Its output -- SWF files (that is, Flash movies) -- is 100%
compatible with
the tools in Creative Suite 3. Flash Paper creates SWFs that
emulate many
of the features of the PDF format ... but in the end, you're
simply
embedding another Flash movie.

Flash Paper 2 & Document Map

I'm trying to find a solution which enables PDF files to be
converted to Flash Paper with some form of navigation (Same as or
similar to the Document Map function in Word). Unfortunately the
Document Map function doesn't work with PDF files. My current
method of converting PDF to Word using a converter programme is not
effective enough. Adobe are saying this isn't a priority for them
and no updates are scheduled in the near future. Has anyone found
solution for this?

Hi, I have the same problem... at the end have yoe got any
solution??
Thank you!

Missing Apostrophes in Flash Paper

When I convert a word document into a pdf using flash paper
all the apostrophes and quotation marks are missing. Is this a
common problem? I'm hoping someone can sure any pearls of
wisdom.......
Flash Paper 2 version 2.02.2302.0
OS: Windows XP home

Stop reinstalling your fonts. Check what fonts are in Snow Leopard sys folder and library folder. There's a conflict somewhere. What type of font management do you use?
I strip out all fonts from all folders except system folder and Adobe Required folder. I replace the fonts in the system folder with the OT or PS versions of Helvetica and Times. I use Font Agent Pro to manage my fonts.
I do recall having font conflict issues when I first upgraded to Leopard. Can't remember how I resolved it. I would have to examine all my font folders again.
Peter, I only export to PDF as a rule. I've been following the Snow Leopard stuff but I don't take notes. ;-)
Edit:
Okay, so if I export a postscript file and drop it in distiller that solves the problem.
HA! My suggestion worked. It's a workaround but not a solution.

Automatic conversion ppt to flash with flash paper?

I am using flash paper to convert powerpoint file to flash.
How can I have this done automatically?
I mean, if i upload a ppt file to my server, i would like it
to be automatically converted in swf. Is there a server verison of
flash paper?
Thanks

InDesign > Flash Professional workflow may be a bit bumpy road... In some cases you may make it easier by creating interactive widget in Flash, exporting it as SWF and placing SWF to InDesign. Then you can use InDesign´s SWF export for creating your digital publication.
I have few very nice examples of digital interactive flash magazines made that way. I can send you some links. Let me know if that interests you:

Director and Flash Paper

Hi Adobe forums,
I've just about putting the finishing touches together for an
interactive CD at work using director 1.0.11. I've provided users
with a print button that then in theory should open the
corresponding flash paper file and then the user can just print out
what ever he or she wants.
Don't ask me why I used flash paper over pdf, it was
something new and I wanted to try it out. It works fine on my
machine but when I burn the projector and accompanying swf and xtra
folder to cd it won't work on other machines.
I'm guessing this is a Flash Xtra problem, but I've already
selected Flash Assest and Flash Asset Options X32 via modify >
movies > xtras but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. To
handle the opening of this file I've also downloaded and installed
BuddApi as well.
Here's the code I use to open the swf file:
property pFile
global gDelimiter
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addProp description,#pFile, \
[#default:"test.swf", \
#format:#string, \
#comment:"Type the full filename to open: Example: test.swf"]
return description
end
on mouseEnter me
-- sets the cursor to the hand
cursor 280
end
on mouseLeave me
-- sets the cursor to default
cursor -1
end
on mouseUp me
--- setting the file path to go to, you need to put your
folder name or file structure in.
--- the moviepath is the path to the actual .exe file. So you
just need to
--- add the structure from that point on. In the below case
there is a
---folder called "pdf_files" in the same directory as the
.exe
sPath = the moviePath & "swf_files" & gDelimiter
& pFile
--- & is simply appending each item, so it is appending
pdf_files to the
---existing path, and then appending
--- gDelimiter which is either a \ or : and then finally
appending the name of
---your file
baOpenFile(sPath, "Maximised")
--- buddyAPI command you will have to download and install
buddy API
---Xtra. It is free, do a google search for BuddyAPI and the
site will come
---up, simply download the appropriate version and place in
your Xtras
---folder.
cursor -1
end
If anybody could point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful.

Thats the strange thing, at work all machines are set up the
same way via an image ripped down to them when they are first
configured. Part of the standard desktop image is the Flash Plugin.
For some strange reason the .swf file isn't recognised on the
CD. Drag the associated file to the users computer and the file is
recognised.
I'll give the error reporting alert a try and feedback the
results. It might be that I just have to embed the Flash Paper
within the Director Projector.
If anybody else has any ideas I would be very grateful.

Flash paper doesn't import bold fonts

I have some bold fonts in my word document. And when i export
them to
swf or
pdf, the bold fonts become regular. I used
Flash Paper last year once or twice and I didn't have such a
problem. The font I'm using is "Bookman Old Style". But I tried
other font types as well and they didn't work either... Anyone had
the same problem or know a fix for this issue ? cheers...
Flash Paper version = 2.02.2302

I had the same problem whenever I wanted to print on
FlashPaper. The following worked. Go to Control Panel > Printers
> Macromedia Flash Player. Right Click > Properties. Under
the tab
Ports select
FlashPaperPrinterPoint. I had LPT1 for FlashPaper selected
by default, so I guess it made my laptop "look" for the printer.
I hope it works for you too!

Flash Paper Toolbar Buttons

I use Flash Paper 2 regularly to print documents from
Microsoft Access. In Word and Excel there is a toolbar button for
Flash Paper but none in Access, and there is nothing available in
the list of tools to add to a custom Access toolbar.
Is there any way to get a toolbar button for Flash Paper in
other applications such as Access?
Thanks

Thanks Urami! This worked. However, there is still one set of
buttons that still don’t work. These buttons are programmed
to open a new window that is a specific size and has all the
toolbars and menu bars turned off. The html page that opens in the
window contains an swf file that runs a video.
Again, it works perfectly over the Internet or when I test
the html page from Dreamweaver on my PC, but the window will not
open when the button is pressed if the program is running from a
CD.
This program was originally created with Studio MX 2004 with
Flash Professional. With that version, the CD worked on Windows
2000 PCs but not Windows XP. We re-published the entire program
with Flash Professional 8. Once I fixed the file names as you
suggested, everything works except the buttons that open a child
window. Now these buttons in the Version 8 program don’t work
on a CD running on Windows 2000 either.
Here is the code that I have in Flash movie for the button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:newWindow('videowin_turnassist.html')");
Here is the code that I have in the html document:
function newWindow(bookgif) {
bookWindow = window.open(bookgif, 'bookWin',
'toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=425')
bookWindow.focus()
I got this html code out of a reference book several years
ago and we use it all the time to open child windows from parent
windows.
I tried other code that I got out of an ActionScript book and
from the Help files, but I can’t get any of it to work at all
(not even from Dreamweaver).
Do you have any other suggestions for opening a specifically
sized child window that will run a Flash movie?
TIA

Flash Paper or Impressario

Here's the project.
560 Page PDF document with images (not sure the filesize yet,
but will likely be 100MB+). Looking to be able to incorporate it on
a CD without needing to rip it apart into chunks. I will if I need
to, but just don't want to.
I will be using Director but am curious which would perform
better? FlashPaper or INM's Impressario? Flash Paper is cheap.
Impressario is $500 (and an additional $440 or so for an outdated
logo waiver!!!) From what I understand Impressario is very good at
handling large PDF documents by loading only the pages it needs...
How does Flashpaper compare?
Any comments?

I've never used Flash Paper, but have used Impressario for a
few projects.
It's a nice Xtra, but IMO it's not very well optimized. It
chugs on PDF's
with large background images - huge difference between
viewing in
Impressario and Reader. I've actually had to abandon it on
one project
because my client didn't like how slow it was.

Flash Paper dans un document flash

Allo tout le monde,
J'ai converti mes fichiers pdf en flash paper 2 format swf :
ça au moins c'est très facile !
Méthode: - Ouvrir un fichier pdf
- Aller à la fonction imprimer
- Choisir l'imprimante qui est Flash Paper 2 et pouf !, tout
ce fait automatiquement.
- On choisit le format de fichier, .swf ou pdf. que l'on
désire.
Bon tout est beau jusqu'à ce point mais là...
J'ai un document flash déjà créer avec un
menu déroulant et des clips divers associés aux
différents boutons du menu déroulant. J'ai besoin
d'importer un de ces fichiers converti en flash paper dans mon
application flash et je n'y arrive pas.
Dans aide Flash paper 2, il y a une page de code à ce
qu'il faut faire pour arriver à importer un fichier flash
paper dans flash. J'avoue que je n'y comprend pas grand chose. Je
ne suis pas vraiment une programmeuse. Voici le code, si quelqu'un
pourrait m'expliquer ce que ça veut dire et à quel
endroit l'appliquer. Je marque des notes à ce que je ne
comprend pas. Alors voici:
Texte intégrale du flash paper 2 dans aide
Utilisation de FlashPaper avec Macromedia Flash
Vous pouvez insérer un fichier SWF FlashPaper dans un
fichier FLA Flash. Lorsque vous exportez le fichier FLA dans SWF,
le fichier SWF FlashPaper est incorporé comme partie du
fichier SWF Flash exporté.
Le code suivant indique comment charger un fichier SWF
FlashPaper dans un fichier FLA normal à l'aide de la fonction
loadFlashPaper() : ( à quel endroit inscrit-on ce code? au
frame 1 du document flash ou au frame 1 d'un clip vide ou ???)
function loadFlashPaper(
path_s, // path of SWF to load
dest_mc, // MC which we should replace with the SWF (est-ce
que je dois créer un clip ? )
width_i, // new size of the dest MC
height_i, // new size of the dest MC
loaded_o) // optional: object to be notified that loading is
complete
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function()
dest_mc._visible = false; ( est-ce que dest_mc est le nom
que je dois donner à un clip?)
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper(); ( fp ( est-ce le nom de
mon document flash paper ?)
if (!fp) (getFlashPaper ( est-ce le nom de mon document
flash paper? )
return;
if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false) ( est-ce que je
dois donner une grandeur, largeur ?)
return;
dest_mc._visible = true;
clearInterval(intervalID);
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
Le code suivant indique comment vous pouvez utiliser la
fonction loadFlashPaper() après avoir incorporé un
fichier SWF FlashPaper : ( à quel endroit on indique ce code?
Dans le clip lui-même sur une frame 1 ou sur le frame 1 du
document flash? )
function onLoaded(fp)
// loading is complete, so we can now adjust the current
page, zoom, etc.
// go to page 50.
fp.setCurrentPage(50);
// change magnification to 33%
fp.setCurrentZoom(33);
loadFlashPaper("FlashPaper.swf", theDocMC, theDocMC._width,
theDocMC._height, this);
La valeur fp.setCurrentPage a été définie sur
50 et la valeur fp.setCurrentZoom sur 33. Lorsque vous exportez le
fichier FLA, la page 50 du fichier SWF FlashPaper incorporé
apparaît à l'intérieur du fichier SWF exporté
avec un agrandissement de 33 %.
Donc à l'aide de ces codes, il serait bon de faire un
exemple pas à pas concret comment on intégre cela dans un
document flash.
Alors j'attendrai la réponse de celui ou celle qui veut
bien relever le défi que de répondre à cette
question un peu compliquée.
Un Gros Merci d'avance !
Nurse 1

J'ai trouvé la solution dans la documentation en
englais. Après l'avoir essayer, ça fonctionne.
Alors voici je joins le code: attach code à ce document.
C'est un pas à pas. En espérant que cela peut
aider d'autres personnes.
À une prochaine !

Flash Paper not working after IE7 Upgrade

Hey All,
I am running CFMX 7.02 that uses flash paper to print out
result pages. Everything has been workiing great until I just
upgraded to IE7. When I click on my print links the flash paper
pages open up blank. I can change the format to PDF and it works,
but I am concerned that many of my users may not have the PDF
softrware installed. Does anyone know what may be causing the
problem? I can open up these same pages on a machine that runs IE6
with no problems.
TIA
Tobin

Please ignore, I found the solution in a previous posting.
Thanks,
Tobin

Has Flash paper development stopped??

I currently use Flash Paper 2 for all documents on our
corporate intranet rather than PDF (due to the much faster opening
times).
It appears as though Flash Paper is not contained in
Contribute CS3, does that mean that Flash Paper is to be
discontinued by Adobe?
I ask this because I am due to upgrade my work PC to vista
and as it seems that Flash Paper 2 wont be upgraded to work
correctly with vista, a new version was my only hope.

Hello Sir,
Due to high demand for our FlashPaper interface products, we
have cut our prices, please visit our site. With Our FlashPaper
plugins, you can enforce the copyright of your corporate documents
