Center swf flash file

This seems really basic but how do I get a flash/swf file to
center on the page? Nothing I've tried seems to work. Align
commands affect how it aligns with text but I am using a large area
with no text to the left or right. I just want the flash file in
the middle of the page and can't get it there.

Hello,
You can put the flash in a container and center the
container.
<div id="flashwrapper"> ...flash... </div>
CSS:
#flashwrapper {
width: 500px;
margin: 0px auto;
Adjust the width in #flashwrapper to the width of the flash
object.
Take care,
Tim

  • Inflated SWF Flash file cannot play in IE but Firefox & Netscape

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to do some file protection by inflating a SWF
    Flash file.
    Once the Flash file is inflated, the filesize grows but does
    not add any physical data bits to the SWF file.
    After that tweaking, the SWF file cannot play in IE 6.0
    (Internet Explorer).
    However, it still plays perfectly well under Firefox &
    Netscape.
    I know IE use Flash ActiveX while Firefox & Netscape uses
    Flash plugins. Is it the reason for such behaviour?
    Any advice to make the inflated SWF file to play in IE
    please?
    Thank you very much.

    Your object tag (which I.E uses) is for embedding Director

  • Running a .swf (Flash file) in JMF

    Hi,
    In my application i have to run .swf(Flash file) file. I have to do it using Java API. Can i do it using JMF.If so, how to do it. Is there any other API available to run .swf files in java.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I don't know as much as most users here, but I have put up
    about 18 different photo galleries on my DW site (almost ready to
    be published).
    I had to go into each code page where I wanted the gallery to
    appear and paste the swf etc code. And it had to be pasted into the
    code page not the design page.
    Now, when I click a link to the specific page and look at it
    in the design view, all I see is a large grey object. I can go into
    the page properties and look at it that way, but I usually just
    view it in my browzers. This Flash album is designed to work in the
    browzer, not actually on the DW design page unless I specifically
    click something.
    This may not help you, as I said, this is my first site and
    photo album dealings.
    Good Luck

  • Disable .swf (Flash File) Generated as an Attch in Email Delivered byIBOT

    .swf Adobe Flash file is generated when i am scheduling an IBOT to the user , In the IBOT i am delivering an Answers request and i can access the answers request and ATT288***.swf File is generated as an attachment , How can Disable that file from generating as an Email attachment.
    Thanks

    Hi Srix,
    All OBIEE chart objects are generated by Corda Popcharts. Corda generates charts using Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash file formats are .swf (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF'>Shockwave Flash</a>).
    Does the report you're emailing have a chart object in it?  My guess is that your report does have a chart object and that is the .swf attachment you are seeing.
    If you do not want the .swf attachment, you can change the output format to pdf or other formats in the iBot.
    Hope that helps!

  • Swf flash files are not displaying neatly within table cells.

    The latest version of Firefox (3.6.12) The website I have design now shows thick lines underneath the flash files. URL Below. The table of pictures should be neat, instead the cells in which the flash files are contained are increasing in height and breaking apart the table . This does not happen in previous version of Firefox, Internet Explorer & Google Chrome.
    Is there anything i should be doing different when inserting flash files into web pages that have complex tables? Or is this a problem with Firefox?

    Add a rule object { display: block } to the stylesheet. An object is an inline element by default.

  • Can not center Html flash file in a browser..

    Hi all,
    After i publish a flash project and try to open the html file with a browser it is always at the left of the browser, why?
    In addition i have some problems with size too..
    What is the size of the browser's area for viewing any content(i mean the parts below the navigation tabs to start menu)?
    How can i adjust my project to this?
    Thx for helping.
    Note: My html settings seems true, it says "center center" but i dont know how to solve this.

    The placement of your .swf on a Web page and it's alignment in the browser window is a function of HTML and CSS (styling of the Web page), it has nothing to do with the Flash .swf. Remember, there is no such thing as a Flash Web site... only HTML, PHP, ASP, etc. Web sites that have some Flash content.
    While you can use Flash to auto generate that HTML, it's only a generic solution, really only meant to test the .swf on a Web page, and usually generates excessive and un-needed code... but it does let you see the .swf on a Web page.
    So depending on whether or not your .swf is to take up the entire Web page or just be one component of the Web page, you may need to use slightly different code to correctly place the .swf on the Web page, set the top margin, center the .swf, etc. To review a few basics on the layout of a Web page, here is a great source:
    http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
    As for sizing, are you wanting the .swf to always stay the same size or "scale" as the browser window expands or shrinks?
    Best wishes,

  • Using .swf flash files in iMovie

    I know that .swf files are not like other video files at all, but is there any solution for converting these files on Mac? I use flash CS3, and it does a pretty pathetic job exporting them. (the quality is crappy)
    Soooo, is there a Quicktime plugin or something that will somehow let me edit .swf in iMovie?
    (I have snow leopard)
    And please, don't say "Well I think (program) opens them..." I want people who actually KNOW how to convert .swf files for iMovie. NOT .flv files, those are completely different.

  • .swf flash file not displayed in browser

    We moved a site from a different machine to our osx server and now all .swf files show up empty in any browser
    In the apache logs they seem to served. How do I solve this

    We discovered that the windows ftp program used to upload the files messed them up. Probably transfer as text or something.

  • What is the maximum size of a .swf flash file that can be created for DMM

    Please help,
    I am running DMM 5.2.1 and was wondering what is the maximum size of a .swf file that can be created and play SMOOTHLY on the screens (screen dimension 1366 x 768px).
    Kind regards.

    Hi Nicholas,
    You can refer to the content creation best practices documented at the following link:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_2/dmd/best/practices/guidelines.html#wp1168116
    As you can read there:
    - if the SWF file size is greater than 500KB, you may start to see high memory consumption on the DMP.
    - regarding resolutions, the SWF can be up to 1920 x 1080 when animations within the SWF are small and are restricted to a 640x480 region.
    Regards,
    Marco

  • Insert an swf file into another Flash file

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie to flash trying to insert an SWF flash file (a game) into another Flash file. However, when I import the swf file into the library and drag it onto the frame (and insert the stop(); command onto the frame action to stop it playing the whole movie), the SWF file plays constantly, ignoring all the actionscript and button commands in the game SWF file.
    When I try inserting it using the Window component, the game SWF refuses to play at all - it just stops (clicking buttons in the game work, but it goes-to-and-stops instead of go-to-and-play like it's supposed to do). The only other component I could find was called "Loader". Using this doesn't work either, it won't play any of the animation, just like using the "Window" component
    When the game SWF is played by itself (by just double-clicking to open it from Windows Explorer or embedding it in a web page), it works fine.
    Any help how to do this would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I'm posting in this thread because my problem seems similar but may be not...
    In my first swf, I'm loading a second swf via loadClip().
    My second swf works well alone but when I try to integrate itself in my first swf I'm losing my events. My events only works on my first swf.
    I'v tried your trick with _lockroot but he doesn't work for me too.
    Is someone have an idea to help me ?
    Thx
    My code is really basic
    First swf:
            var mcloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
            var listener:Object = new Object();
            listener.onLoadInit = function (mc:MovieClip){
                main_obj.__preloader.die();
                obj[funct](target_mc, param);
            mcloader.addListener(listener);
            mcloader.loadClip(file_name, __loader);
    Second swf:
        var box:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("box"+depth, this.getNextHighestDepth());
        //Draw box
        drawBox(...);
        // Event on Box, Change Alpha and show arrow or not
        box.onRollOver = function() {
            drawBox(...);
