Cannot see embedded swf's in html

When creating my flash file, i load swf files into loaders on my stage. When testing it, it works fine, but when publishing it to the web, it dosn't show the embedded swf's?

I'm assuming you intend that the embedded swf is the one that loads the other swfs... the one that is coded into the html page, not the ones that are loaded into loaders. Did you upload the AC_RunActiveContent.js file that Flash creates?

Cannot see embedded Youtube videos; I get a black screen

So, embedded Youtube videos suddenly stopped working. I can still watch videos on the Youtube website just fine. Making an embedded video fullscreen also allows me to see it. I have seen an answer on another thread asking to try Safe Mode. Interestingly, disabling every add-on and plugin (besides Flash and Shockwave) does not fix the issue, but using Safe Mode, which theoretically does the same thing, fixes it :S
The embeds are black screen, and when I hover the mouse over them I see the Refresh and HD buttons, but not the Youtube icon on the lower right. Clicking the lower right area still brings me to the Youtube website, so the button still works, just isn't visible. Reinstalling Waterfox and using a new profile do not fix the issue.
I can't test the issue on Firefox because it has a long-standing problem of the Flash Player crashing constantly every second, which rendered it unusable and is the reason I switched to Waterfox in the first place (in which Flash does not crash).
The troubleshoot information with all Waterfox add-ons disabled (which again, doesn't fix the issue, despite Safe Mode fixing it) can be seen by navigating to the "More system details" on the menu to the right.
Thanks!

I had disabled hardware accel in Waterfox and it didn't fix the embeds, but doing so in Firefox fixed them for Waterfox! Odd. It didn't fix the constant Flash Player crashing, though. Thanks for solving the embeds!

Embedded swf not playing in Captivate 4

Hi - I have embedded a flash authored swf into CP4, it is published from flash as a ver 9 swf. I am using Flash Player 10 on the PC. It's a single frame swf and contains AS3 code to make a simple rollover image popup (further development is planned but just testing for now). It works when viewed standalone in a browser or with the flash player
In CP4 when played by either previewing it or by publishing and viewing in a browser, the screen with that swf on it is a 'white screen of death'. I have tried the following:
1. clicking and unclicking synchronise with project
2. click and unclick externalize animations check box in prefs - the swf file was also manually copied over to the publish directory
3. set display for "duration of animation"..also tried 'rest of slide' and 'specific time'
4. click and unclick - 'synchronise with project'
5. Set Actionscript Version in prefs to "AS3"
6. I placed another different swf (flash ver9) onto the following slide in CP4 - this one with no Actionscript content at all - just a simple timeline based motion tween. It works!
Does anyone know if CP4 cannot accept embedded swf's with Actionscript 3 code in them?

Hi there
Oftentimes the warning about referencing Root is simply a nuisance and may be totally ignored.
I find that the animation works here on my own PC if I click Edit > Preferences... > Project node > Publish Settings node and configure for AS3.
Perhaps try that?
Cheers... Rick

Embedding swf into HTML+JS AIR app

Hi
I'm trying to embed swf into HTML+JS AIR app with no luck.
First, I created flash library with this class in default package.
package
     import mx.controls.Alert;
     public class Utilities
          public function Utilities()
                         //asdfasdf
               Alert.show("asdasd","");
Then I compiled the project with Flash Builder and got library.swc as result. Then I extracted swf file.
After this is added required code into my html:
<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRAliases.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRIntrospector.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
    <script src="library.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            alert('loaded');
            air.Introspector.logError("aaa");
            var v = new runtime.Utilities();
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Then after I run application, I get error that result of expression is not constructor, function etc.
Could you help me please? Thanks in advance.
Here is sample code:

No. I mean that the Flex framework makes certain assumptions about the environment it is running in -- like having a stage to work with. The Alert function, for example, works by creating a sprite and adding it to the Flash display list. Since your embedded SWF is not on a stage, there's no way for it to work.
You can can possibly use certain non-visual parts of the framework, such as the rpc package, but I can't guarantee it.

There is never any guarantee that automatically generated html will look right on every browser, especially Explorer. For max compatibility with MS stuff it's best to use Office to start with instead of iWorks.
I don't know whether you could manually edit the Keynote html to make it work better with Explorer. It would be interesting to know whether it looks right in Windows Safari, Chrome, or FireFox so you could know whether only IE does it wrong.

I cannot see all html elements

I have worked on a file in Dreamweaver. When I open it in Edge Animate and look at the Elements panel I can see all the html elements BUT I cannot see them on stage. I can only see the Edge Animation stage. How can I see the entire html page?

If this is a subscribed calendar that is pulling the events from another server on the internet, and you have a CDMA phone (such as Verizon or Sprint), it may be because your carrier doesn't support simultaneous voice and data (i.e., when you're talking on the phone, the data connection is suspended dropping the subscribed calendar until you're finished with the call). This is just a guess; I can't confirm this with my phone as I have AT&T which supports simultaneous voice and data.

CANNOT SEE EMAILS WITH EMBEDDED LINKS ON MY HTC INCREDIBLE

I recently linked my Outlook account through a POP3 on my HTC Incredible. For some reason I'm not able to view messages with embedded links in the body of the email or the senders signature. For example - If someone sends me an email and they have a FB icon embeded in their signature, I'm unable to view the email. I can see who it's coming from but cannot see the text in the body of the email. Does anyone have any work throughs for this issue? Thanks!

Hello,
Please try the troubleshooting step provided below:

Cannot see html pages LOCALLY STORED on Mac drive, using Parallels Desktop?

Using Parallels Desktop running Windows XP, I cannot use Safari 3 to view HTML files stored on my Mac - no matter how I try!
If I locate the file within Windows Explorer and I right-click and choose "Open With > Safari Web Browser" Safari will open, but it will only open a blank window and nothing loads (the Status Bar remains blank).
If I open Safari and choose "Open File..." and navigate to the file on my Mac and click "Open" I get an error message which states:
Safari can’t open the page “file://.PSF/Macintosh%20HD/..."
etc.
Note that the URL it is trying to open begins with:
“file://.PSF/"
whereas doing the same thing from within Internet Explorer shows the URL to begin with:
"\\.PSF\"
without the "file" part. Also notice the BACKslashes, rather than FORWARDslashes.
Lastly, trying to open a blank Safari window and drag-and-drop the HTML file from Windows Explorer directly into the Safari window results in exactly the same problem.
Note that ALL 3 of the above-mentioned methods DO work in Internet Explorer.
Finally, even copying-and-pasting the local URL that DOES work in IE into Safari's Address Bar doesn't work either. The problem this time is that not only does Safari turn all the backslashes into forwardslashes, but it also adds "http:" to the beginning of the URL, when it was not in the originally-copied link, which began with "\\.PSF\".

Again, thanks for taking the time to reply - but you're really really not paying attention to what I'm saying...
I AM giving Safari the full pathname, but when using Parallels Desktop, this full pathname begins with "\\.PSF\". That's how it starts. Nothing else before the two backslashes, OK. That's how it works in Internet Explorer when using Parallels Desktop. That's how it works in Windows Explorer when using Parallels Desktop.
I have given Safari the full pathname in FOUR different ways, as I mentioned in my original post: right-click, open with / file>open / drag-and-drop / copy-paste-URL.
With regards to my particular issue, I'm not concerned about how it works when using Windows running natively on a "proper" Windows PC. I am concerned about how it works when using Parallels Desktop.
If you really want to know the full URL (not that it matters one jot) of an example file that I can open with Internet Explorer, but not with Safari, here's the URL of the file I was originally trying to test:
\\.PSF\Macintosh%20HD\Work\Downie\Website\HTML\index.html
That's it. Everything is there. I have not left off anything at the beginning of that URL.
That's how it works in Internet Explorer when using Parallels Desktop. OK, re-read that. It works in Internet Explorer when using Parallels Desktop.
When I copy that URL exactly as it is, and paste it into Safari and hit return, Safari automatically converts it to:
http://.psf/Macintosh%20HD/Work/Downie/Website/HTML/index.html
Note how it has altered it in several respects:
- It has added "http:" to the beginning of the URL.
- It has turned the original "PSF" into a lower-case "psf".
- It has turned all the backslashes into forwardslashes.
I try manually deleting and altering the relevant parts and hitting return again, but Safari just goes back to the "wrong URL".
When you say "the only prefix for local files is file://" you are obviously not familiar with how Parallels Desktop works with and reads "local files".
Remember what I said earlier about how you're not REALLY looking at LOCAL files, because TRUE local files would be on the Windows section of the drive, and I am trying to look at files on the Mac part of the drive.
I'll repeat what I said earlier:
If you are not testing this from within Parallels Desktop like I am, and where I am having the problems, then your words here are not of much use, because you cannot experience what I am experiencing. You cannot comment on the experience on how this works from within Parallels Desktop if you do not have Parallels Desktop and have not experienced it yourself.

CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing

I'm creating CR 2008 reports with embedded SWFs as described in the whitepaper [EMBEDDING XCELSIUS 2008 VISUALIZATIONS IN CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/product/catalog/crystalreports/cr_xc_integration.pdf].
From CR, I can export the report to html and view the report fine. But when I export to pdf, ppt, etc. The SWFs are not viewable. Is this a bug or by design?
This section of the white paper seems to imply that maybe you cannot export to pdf:
>TECHNICAL DETAILS
>
>Viewing Flash objects embedded in a Crystal Report is supported in the:
>
>Crystal Reports 2008 Preview tab
>Crystal Reports 2008 .NET Webform viewer
>Crystal Reports 2008 Java DHTML viewer (used in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 and other products)
>
>Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
>
>Embedded Flash objects that do not have connections to Crystal Reports data can be exported to PDF only.
I'm using the latest version of Adobe products:
- Adobe Flash Player ActiveX, Version 9.0.124.0
- Adobe Flash Player Plugin, Version 9.0.115.0
- Adobe Reader 9, Version 9.0.0
Also, I downloaded [CR Viewer 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports_viewer/] and can see the CR reports I've created with embedded Xcelsius swfs.
Any information is appreciated. Thanks.
Tim

> ... it states in your first post, the export is not supported,
True. It says:
> Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
But I can export such reports to html and view and print the flash objects.
It seems inconsistent to me. I can export static flash charts to pdf, yet I cannot export dynamic flash charts to pdf, which is from Adobe, as is Flash?
I'm hoping this is a temporary bug either in Crystal or pdf reader and is to be fixed in a patch release. Or an explanation of why the limitations exist.
Thanks for the response.

Embedded .swf's calling javascript from air container

1) I have an html/ajax air app version 1.5.1
2) This air app embeds .swf files from an external source / web server & plays the embdded .swf inside air.
3) The embedded .swf file has a button with an onClick event
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
ExternalInterface.call("someJavascriptMethod()" );
4) The javascript method to be called is already parsed inside the containing Air app and is waiting to be triggered.
5) When the onClick is triggered, the following error is thrown.
Error: Error #2067: The ExternalInterface is not available in this container. ExternalInterface requires Internet Explorer ActiveX,
Firefox, Mozilla 1.7.5 and greater, or other browsers that support NPRuntime.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
at stress_fla::MainTimeline/onClick()
6) On investigation I found on your livedoc's website that Air does not support the ExternalInterface.call method.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/air/1/aslr/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
Look for Note: Adobe AIR currently does not support the ExternalInterface class.
7) Does anyone here know how I can get an embbeded .swf file to call javascript methods in the containing air application? I have had a look at the getUrl method but this is now longer supported & even the FS command but still to no avail. I may have a work around by inserting a DOM element over the top of the embedded .swf but this is not an elegant solution & want the .swf to talk directly to the air app container.
All help & comments welcome
Thanks
Kyle
Additionally I have found
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflash/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ed4 .html
Using the Html Loader so that Actionscript can call/manipulate the dom objects. At first I was whopee but then I tried the examples listed in the help. The HTMLLoader class is only available in Air. When trying to use import flash.html.HTMLLoader; Flash C4 complains that the Definition cannot be found on compile time & therefore does not export my movie correctly. Has anyone else had this problem or have a solution??
More additions:
The reason the htmlLoader class was not compiling was due to the source action script provided being ActionScript 2.0 - the htmlLoader class is a 3.0 library.
However, after more investigation I have found the current structure.
The air app has an html base/root doc. On periodic javascript events - .swf files are downloaded via
videos = new air.Loader();
netStream = new air.URLRequest(path + file);
videos.load(netStream);
So now I have a html container in my air app that creates a new air.Loader which downloads the external .swf file in which I want an onClick event in the action Script of the downloaded .swf file to call a Javascript method of the parent air container. Simple yea?
Or am I making life to hard for myself? Have been looking at the security snadboxes but I don't see how I can get the .swf file to talk nicely with the outer air container. Please help if able.
Thanks
Kyle

Hi Kenneth,
Your explanation makes sense.
I have a big JavaScript file full of special mathematical functions written by a mathematician who only knows how to program in Javascript.
I need to call the Javascript functions from within an ActionScript library, which obviously has no UI, and thus HTML and/or HTMLLoader are not an option.
Any ideas?
TIA,
mlavie

Embedding SWF in a text field

Hi, New user to Flash here with a problem embedding .SWF
files. I have already existing SWF files that I have called
historically from HTML using <object> to embed the object and
<param name= value=> also to pass it information. The SWF
movie I need to embed basically builds a graph and takes its data
from the location you supply it in <param name= value=>
field. This code is not mine and I can't alter it.
What I want to do is construct a flash version of my site and
embed these graphs within a flash textfield. I have been able to
successfully embed a test SWF file using <img> tags on a text
field ---> but here is my question. How do I support the
<param name= value=> functionality I got when I called these
graphs from HTML using <object>?
I hope that's clear? Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
Tom

Tom,
> What I want to do is construct a flash version of my
site
> and embed these graphs within a flash textfield.
That's a really interesting approach. At first, I didn't
understand
what you were aiming for, but it sounds to me like you're
tying to use HTML
inside a Flash text field -- which is doable, to some extent
-- and embed an
external SWF in that HTML ... all within Flash.
> I have been able to successfully embed a test SWF file
> using <img> tags on a text field --->
That does work, but it's about the closest you'll get, I'm
afraid. It's
only happenstance that Flash's very narrow (and somewhat
unique) version of
HTML accepts SWFs in an <img> tag.
> but here is my question. How do I support the <param
name=
> value=> functionality I got when I called these
graphs from
> HTML using <object>?
Flash only supports a very limited subset of the HTML
language. You can
see the full list of supported tags by searching the phrase
"supported tags"
in the documentation (specifically, the Learning ActionScript
2.0 in Flash
book). For better or worse, <object>, <param>,
and <embed> are simply not
in that list.
> Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
Your only choice is to use one of the more traditional
methods of
loading external SWFs, such as loadMovie(),
MovieClip.loadMovie(), or the
MovieClipLoader class. Once your external SWF is loaded, you
may "feed" it
variables that should be detectable by the ActionScript
inside the loaded
SWF.

WAD: Problems when exporting to PDF with embedded .swf

I'm using Web Application Designer (WAD) 7 and have created a template with an "Export to PDF" button and an embedded .swf flash file which is an Xcelsius dashboard.
What i'm trying to do is show the information I want on my dashboard and then export that to a PDF to email out to multiple users who would be interested in the data each month. If exporting to PDF isn't the best route to get a snapshot of this dashboard out to other users and there's an easier way please let me know, but here are the issues i'm having:
1) When I have the dashboard showing the information I want and click the "Export to PDF" button, the dashboard reloads as the PDF settings window pops up and gets reset back to it's initial state.
2) If I ignore problem #1 and click on 'OK' in the Export dialog anyway after selecting PDF settings, my Adobe Reader pops up but then shows a message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages". Basically it doesn't see the .swf as being a component to take a snapshot of and print on a PDF. I did try adding a text component just so there was something on the template and I then get a PDF with that text component showing and no .swf snapshot.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? I've tried using the BEx Broadcaster with the 'Send' option but get the same results in regards to the blank page.
Thanks as always for the help!

Thanks for the reply.
The dashboard is connected to a query in NetWeaver BI to get its data. So the request of the user is to be able to adjust the dashboard to show the information they need (well say of a certain region) and then take a snapshot of that and email it out to co-workers in Group A. Then the user will adjust the dashboard to show other data (for a different region we'll say) and take a snapshot to email out to co-workers in Group B. etc and etc.
I have looked into installing a PDFCreator print driver but that wouldn't be feasible to get it on all machines in the business. I've also looked into getting it as a .jpeg which would suffice, but am unsure if there is a way to do it with script and connect that to the dashboard when a button is pushed (will look into this). This seems like a topic for over in the Xcelsius forum now.
I used the following code within the <body></body> tags of the WAD's xhtml to embed the .swf:
<object id="dashboard" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="600" width="800" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="Movie" value="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" />
<embed src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" name="dashboard" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
