Cap 2 - Embedded SWFs not loading

Hey everyone...
I'm building Captivate tutorials using Cap 2. As part of
these, I'm creating separate simulations in Captivate, publishing
them, then dropping the SWFs into slides on my larger project.
So, the problem I'm having is that when I'm progressing
through the larger Captivate module, I'll get to a slide that
begins with one of the swf animations, and the slide audio will
begin and the slide progresses, but the embedded swf is still
loading. So, what happens is by the time the swf finally loads, my
main timeline has moved almost completely past the animation...so
basically, it screws everything up.
I've tried using a preloader for the whole project, set to
100% and that didn't fix the problem, which leads me to believe
that the animations aren't actually loaded in that preloading
process.
I've tried synchronizing the animation with the project...no
luck there. I've made sure that the embedded animations don't have
preloading of their own. Nothing seems to work.
Ideally everything would load up in the initial preloading,
but I'd settle for having each slide wait until the contents are
completely loaded before beginning.
Any suggestions anyone might have would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
jb

So I figured out a workaround for this issue, if anyone is
interested.
I republished the Cap projects I was imbedding into the
larger project in Flash 8 format, and published the larger project
in Flash 7 format. Doing so causes the larger Cap project to
publish the Flash 8 swfs along with the rest of the published
files, and then calls to those files instead of trying to imbed the
swfs within the larger project. Works like a charm.

Embedded video not loading?

I seem to be having a problem with embedded video not loading.
For example: In Youtube if a video is embedded in a larger screen (example: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY30JRSgfhYXA6i6xX1erWg) it will not load but if I load the video in its own page (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=bLT0z60vBl4) it will work perfectly fine.
The issue comes when there are videos that don't have the option to load in a full screen (example: http://www.cbc.ca/thenational/watch/).
I have the latest version, have hardware acceleration unchecked, this happens with all browsers (IE, FF, Chrome), have deleted cookies... what else can I do?

this happens with all browsers (IE, FF, Chrome)
Then it HAS to be something outside of Flash Player and the browsers, because:
IE usues a proprietary plug-in - ActiveX, which is ONLY for IE amd functions independently of the others
Firefox uses the standard plug-in, which neither IE nor Chrome use, unless you specifically disable Chrome's proprietary plug-in
Chrome uses its own proprietary plug-in called "PepperFlash" which not only functions independently of the other two, it's a different format (PPAPI vs NPAPI)
The odds that all three different plug-ins (in two different formats, no less) have the exact same problem with one situation (viewing embedded YouTube video in another page)... are astronomical.

SWFs not loading in Air 4.0... for iOS

Hi,
I've read some of the posts about the problem of SWFs not loading in iOS. This seemed to have to do with the SWFs having code. We removed code from the SWFs and In previous releases, using previous SDKs (I don't remember the last one that worked) we had everything working. But in the latest version compiled with the latest SDK (4.0...) none of the SWFs load.
of course I'm learning about this late in the game.
One more piece of information. I did a test with an application that just loads one codeless SWF and have exactly the same result.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

Hi,
So code or no code external SWFs require a loader context.
I borrowed this directly from a kglad response:
var lc:LoaderContext=new LoaderContext(false,ApplicationDomain.currentDomain,null);
When I add the LoaderContext to the loader (at least with my experimental app) the SWF loads.
Also from kglad's example: yourloader.load(yourexternalswf.swf,lc);
Thanks kglad.

Very Slow running dashboards/swf not loading

I have built a number of dashboards and sent them round to colleagues in my company (either embedded in powerpoint or as swf to open in IE). We have no probelms viewing these dashboards internally but when we send them out to clients they cannot view them.
It seems like the swf files are just not loading, or are incredibley slow (so slow that the client has given up on them) has anyone else encountered problems like this? Could there be some security issues; when the files pass onto another network the swf is halted?
Hope someone can help!

There is known issue with xcelsius 2008 when exported to PPT..
Check this and do the work around mentioned.. it will work,but very slow.
I don't know its a problem with xcelsius or with my laptop?

SWF not loading on website---Help please...

Hi everyone,
I'm not really new to Flash; I know how to get around persay. Though this task has me almost in tears. I'm trying to put a video playlist on my website. It has 3 videos. The playlist requires a few files in which I put in a folder named "video testing". Heres what I did:
I created a video playlist in Adobe Flash CS4 with some Actionscript. I published it in html and flash(swf). Afterwards, I saved the playlist as “MyVideoPlaylist”. I put all of these files in a folder named “video testing”. This folder contains: “MyVideoPlaylist.swf” “MyVideoPlaylist.fla” “playlist.xml” “video” “thumbs”. The video folder contains all the videos for the playlist and the thumbs folder contains the thumbnail images for the playlist. I opened up Filezilla and uploaded all files in that folder to the “flash” folder within the root directory. Since I’m using wordpress I browsed to the page that I wanted to put the flash in and placed the following code in the html section:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.burnnoticefanatic.com/flash/MyVideoPlayer.swf"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.burnnoticefanatic.com/flash/MyVideoPlayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
After pasting the code, I viewed the page and saw that the video was not loaded, just a blank white background. Though, when right-clicked, you see the flash options. When I type in the full URL to the swf, the playlist loads correctly. You can see it here: http://www.burnnoticefanatic.com/flash/MyVideoPlaylist.swf
When its embedded with the code above, it doesn’t work.
To see what I mean can be found on the page: http://www.burnnoticefanatic.com/video-gallery

What does "http://www.burnnoticefanatic.com/promo.swf" have to do with the file you have been talking about?
As far as you saying "it could be that the swf file needs the videos and thumbs to play it correctly"... I assumed you were attempting to use them.
It's hard to solve this if the right players aren't in the game. The code you are using in the web page is old-style code. I would expect that if you publish an html file using Flash and use that code for embedding your file it will solve some potential problems, though those may not have been encountered yet.

Gallery tree swf not loading

I am using the gallery_tree.fla provided in the Samples for
Flash 8 Pro to build a small photo gallery, substituting the name
of my xml file in this line of code in the action script:
treeDP_xml.load("bbq_gallery_07.xml"); .
I used the gallery_tree.xml, substituting my image filenames
in the nodes. I placed the images, the .xml and the .swf in the
same folder. The .swf will play if I open it on my local machine in
a browser, but on the web server, it just continues to show the
loader but no images or tree.
My .xml and Actionscript is attached. Suggestions as to my
problem?

Seems odd it will only run once. Usually if a cache problem
you get the same
results even when you update the movie or server scripts.
If it is
http:// it is not local even if from the browser
cache.
Verify the html is validated.
Check to see if this applies to all swfs. Create a simple
hello world swf
that connects to a JSP script that returns a simple value to
Flash. If that
seems to work, then the problem is in the JSP or
Actionscripting coding.
Check you can load the JSP script repeatedly using a direct
call to it on
the browser line using
http://.

Urgent! external swf not loading with swfobject!

hello there,
I have a swf that loads another one into it through an empty
movieclip - When i embed it with swfobject it doesnt appear.
My guess is that i would have to mention the external swf in
the flashvars ... Done that with no success.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing me this
trouble?
thanks

Generally the problem will be that the path of all externally
loaded content is relative to the html page, NOT the swf location.
If everything is in the same folder then that isn't it.
Otherwise nice dice is correct, we will need to see your code
to go further.

SWF not Loaded 100% using SWFLoader !!!!!!!

HI all,
Iam working in Flex Project, i got hung up with a issue with SWFLoader, I have main application and a sub application developed in FLEX 3, the sub application contains the flex pages of DashBoard screen, the SWF of sub application is loaded in main application using SWFLoader. if the browser is opened full , the SWF is loaded 100% , if the browser is opened 75% the swf is not loaded fully. when the browser is maximized the SWF is not displayed full screen. the issue is THE SWF IS GETTING LOADED ACCORDING TO THE BROWSER SIZE, WHEN BROWSER IS MAXIMIZED THE SWF IS DISPLAYED SAME WHEN BROWSER WAS 75% AND NOT EXPANDED .if anybody come across this issue, pls post reply , thanks.
The swf of subApplication is loaded in the main with the code:
<mx:Canvas id="dashCanvas" creationPolicy="all" cachePolicy="on"width="100%" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
<mx:SWFLoader id="dashBoard" trustContent="true" width="100%" height="100%" scaleContent="true" autoLoad="true" source="@Embed(source='../../../../assets/appl/dashboard/dashboard.swf')" />
</mx:Canvas>
The width and height of thr subApplication and the Main Application are set as 100%.
when the width and height of the subApplication is set as :
width=Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
height = Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
the SWF loads fully and correctly when the browser is opened 100% but when the browser is 75% open, the SWF gets loaded according to the browser.
Thanks & Regards
Gowrishankar R

Setting width/height will turn off % sizing and might affect resizing as you have now fixed its width/height.
See if the resizeHandler gets called on the Application. You may also need height=100% on the Canvas

Embedded SWFs not working with Flash 9

Hello,
I am also plagued with the Flash Player 9 issue. None of my
embedded SWF files work if I publish with this version of the
player installed. I ran the uninstaller and I'm now using version
8. However, each time I open a PPT file I get an error saying "some
controls on this presentation can't be activated. they might not be
registered on this computer". This is very irritating. So, my SWFs
still don't work. I found that if I register the v9 ocx and
re-insert the SWFs, they will publish properly (while the Player 8
is installed). However, I have about 50 existing PPTs with anywhere
from 10-30 SWFs per presentation. I'd like to avoid this method if
possible. Does anyone know of an easier solution? Thank you.

good morning DocDVM and Supermercado Gato,
I have the same issue with embedding SWF files into Breeze. I
have been doing some searching the last two weeks and i found an
tech note that you might want to read. It seems that Breeze is not
really set up for Flash player 9 so Adobe came up with a work
around. Read the technote.

I am having my IT Department update Breeze for me so i will
let you know if it works or if you update your Breeze let me know
if this fixes the issue.

Flex 2 SWF not loading on the web browser when Flash Player 8 is running

I got a Flex 2 application that is not loading on the web
browser when the users workstations got Macromedia Flash Player 8
installed. Please advice on what could be the issue, i got security
calls included i.e. securty.allowInsucureDomain, crossdomain.xml,
etc.
The application shows no issues on web browsers with Flash
Player 9 installed.

if you have read developersGuide it says that there somewhere
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=Part2_DevAp ps_048_1.html
here is workaround
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=749eaa47&sliceId=1
flex 9 is complete rewrite (almost) and its lot mor fast and
effecient) you should't want to use flash 8 if you can anyways, but
somethimes I guess there is not other way out..

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?

Using Dreamweaver to create AIR app from HTML site, FLV loaded by placed SWF not loading

Hello.
I'm using Dreamweaver to create an HTML-based site that has pages with FLV-based videos that are loaded using a SWF file. The SWF file is just the player / skin. When I preview or publish to AIR, the videos do not show up. I'm sure others have asked how to accomplish this but I'm having difficulty finding the solution to this issue. Can someone share with them their solution please?
Thank you!
Robert

Steveejay, I was having the same problem. It turns out that
mine didn't like the fact that I was using the "POST" method in my
loadMovie() call. I changed them to "GET", and it works fine in the
web page now. Just doesn't work when previewing in Flash.

External .swf not loading on HTML pages

Good morning,
I'm having trouble and I was hoping someone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong. I have a main .swf file from which external .swf files are being loaded through the use of buttons.
When I preview the animation, everything works just fine. The problem occurs when I put the animation on the website where it needs to be. The main animation appears like it's supposed to, but the buttons are not successful in loading the external .swf files. I've made sure that all .swf files are on the server but still nothing. Could anyone help? I'm not sure what the problem is.
Here's the AS:
stop();
var presentationLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(presentationLoader);
//Navigation
presentation1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf"));
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.unload();
Thank you,
- Cmarcoux

For anyone having a similar problem in the future, the solution is in bold:
stop();
var presentationLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(presentationLoader);
//Navigation
presentation1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.load(new URLRequest("../../media/flash/" + event.target.name + ".swf"));
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.unload();
For the animation to work on a website, the file path was needed.
