Put it in a div, set a class in the css and set the left and right margins to auto.
Like this:
.swfcontainer {
width: xx px; (this should match the width of your swf)
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

Centering my swf file

I am looking for the html that will center my swf file and
keep it centered even when the window is resized by the viewer.
I've seen it done to almost every site I've been to, so I think it
should be relatively easy.

This may help you achieve the effect if you are using tables:

Flash SWF file help

I've uploaded my page and all associated files (swf, images),
but the swf won't play in my browser.
Please visit -
http://www.tbproductions.com/s&f/clients.htm
There is supposed to be a swf Menu under the header and a swf
in the body of clients.htm.
I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Thank You
!!!

I took a good look at the code and noticed this script was
looking for my local folder on my C: drive
<script src="C:sites/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
instead of
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
deleted the C:sites - and it works fine !
thanks for your help!

Positioning a .swf file HELP

Guys, im in the middle of building my website, I have built
the whole thing in Flash CS3. Its looking excellent, HOWEVER... I
need to add a contact page to one of my pages.
How do you do this?
I have looked at loads of tutorials online, however they all
require you to download template files and I cant figure out how to
integrate this into my page.
I have also downloaded a completed .swf contact form from
another site, however when I add this to my site, it is positioned
in the top left of the screen.
Im a bit stuck so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
How do I load more than one SWF?
How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
How do I resize the loaded SWF?
How do I set its X and Y location?
Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:
Sample files for the above TechNote. A set of 3 FLA and 3 corresponding SWF files, including a parent SWF and 2 SWFs that the parent loads.

Help importing a .swf file from Flash CS5.5 to After Effects CS5.5

I am working on animating a person in flash. I have a main timeline and then a timeline inside of a symbol so I can move
the characters facial features (eyebrows and mouth etc) apart from moving his entire body.
I want to have multiple scenes so I am importing all of the .swfs into After Effects and putting them together.
However, when I import the .swf into After Effects, it only plays what occurs in the main timeline
and not the timeline inside of the symbol, so it is just the character moving without the facial movements.
Is there a way to fix this or a better program to import the .swfs into and make the video?
Thanks in advance.

Here's the note from After Effects Help aboutt he limitations to SWF import:
SWF (continuously rasterized) Note: SWF files are imported with an alpha channel. Audio is not retained. Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained.
The limitation that you noticed---that only animation in the top-level timeline is retained---is not one that can be worked around without changing how your animation is set up in Flash.

Will someone help me open a cisco swf file

I am trying to open a cisco swf file on my xp computer.I initially downloaded "IrFanView" which was a program internet explorer told me to download so I could open it. I downloaded the aforementioned program and when I try to open the file I get on the bottom of screen "unidentified error" then a popup box that sais "Internet Explorer can't open this file". Then I try to open it with Google Chrome and I don't get the popup but still the "unidentified error" at the bottom of the screen. I have heard that adobe flash will open it but here is the tricky part. In my add/remove programs it shows I have adobe flash 11 active x. However, when I right click on the file and click on "open with" the only adobe product that shows is Adobe Reader.I'm thinking if I could get the path to adobe flash then I might have the answer. Is my thinking along the right path or not. Lastly, can someone help me find the path to adobe flash 11 or help me to open this swf file.

Ned,
I tried opening it via Internet Explorer and got this error message:
Invalid character

What does all of that above mean?

Firefox will not load my swf file. Runs perfectly in all other browsers. Help!

I've developed a website (www.fit-mamas.com.au) whereby you click on the black & white image and get a pop-up window running a video. The video is an .flv file running via a .swf file loaded from an html file. The .swf file was produced using Flash CS3. The video loads perfectly in all browsers except for Firefox which just displays a blank screen with video controls. I've been researching online for hours, as this problem is a common one, but nobody else's solutions are working for me. Any help would be appreciated. My code is as follows:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"

The video works for me on Linux. The server seems to be slow and playing stops all the time.

How do I add playback control to a .swf file in Director 11.5 (PLEASE HELP!)

Hi,
I am currently trying to add controls (play/stop/etc) to a .swf file within Director 11.5. The movie imports fine and plays perfectly, however there does seems to be built in options to add the control in the same way you would for a .mov.
The .swf file has been created with controls and plays outside of director fine. When it is placed into director the controls disappear and leave a white space.
Is there a step by step guide somewhere or can someone give me a step by step guide? I'm fairly new to director and won't know some of the terms etc....
The movie is 30 mins long and requires the user to move to various points and pause the playback. I cannot change the format of the file either.
Please let me know if you need any more info...
PLEASE HELP, I have to complete this in 2 days.
W

Probably too late for your project but...
You can do this by using 3 sprites in addition to the SWF. In this example, I've named them "videoPlay", "videoRewind, and "videoStop". The SWF in this case was named "video."
Apply this script to each of the 3 sprites.
property mySprite
on beginSprite me
mySprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
end
on mouseUp me
case mySprite.name of
    "videoPlay":
      sprite("video").play()
    "videoStop":
      sprite("video").stop()
    "videoRewind":
      sprite("video").stop()
      sprite("video").rewind()
end case
end

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

Help needed in accessing the url from which a swf file has been loaded

Hi All,
Can anyone help me out in finding the url of the swf file
from which it has been loaded? The purpose of the url is, I am
loading some flv files using relative path. I just want to achieve
the same by appending the relative path to the parent swf url from
where the parent was loaded.
I am a newbie to AS3, So please don t mind if this is a silly
question.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think the option you gave is only
applicable when the AS3 class comes in the DisplayObject hierarchy.
I want this information in an AS3 class which does not extend any
of the Sprite or its super class hierarchy. Can you let me know the
possibility of fetching the value from such a class which i
specified???
Thanks,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.

Newbie, please help--swf files work fine separately, don't work when on same page

Hello all,
I am new to flash, and piecing together different templates to try and learn things.
I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.
I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.
I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:
http://littlebuddymedia.com/flashhelp.zip
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.
Any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
Below is the code from each relevant button in case that is easier for some of you.
Thank you in advance!
From the 0342 page (the index page)
My "Home" button
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "home";
_root.container.loadMovie("home.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "home") {
if (_root.container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "home";
_root.container.play();
My "Products" button
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "products";
_root.container.loadMovie("products.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "products") {
if (_root.container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "products";
_root.container.play();
FROM THE PRODUCTS2 page
My "copywebdev" button
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "copywebdev";
_root.copycontainer.loadMovie("copywebdev.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "copywebdev") {
if (_root.copycontainer._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "copywebdev";
_root.copycontainer.play();
My "officetech" button
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "copyworktech";
_root.copycontainer.loadMovie("copyworktech.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "copyworktech") {
if (_root.copycontainer._currentframe >= copycontainer.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "copyworktech";
_root.copycontainer.play();
}

Not in the example I linked to.
I added the code and uploaded an example of what it does.
When I put "this._lockroot=true" into the first frame of the products.swf file, this occurs:
http://littlebuddymedia.com/flashhelp/withlockroot/0342.html
i.e. you can click over to the products page, but you can not navigate back clicking the "Home" button does not bring up the home page, it refreshes the product page. You are also not able to switch between the two text boxes (copywebdev and officetech) on the products page (though one of them will load--whichever one you click first).
I guess this was "two steps forward and one step back"?
Thank you for continuing to take a look at this.

HELP DREAMWEAVER CS4 NOT SHOWING SWF FILES

I have a presentation in 2 days in Tokyo. And I'm panicking.
I'm on am Intel Mac OS X 10.4.11.
I have the latest version of Flash Player 10 installed. (Not the brand new beta version).
I created a great website in Dreamweaver MX a few years ago.
I never had ANY issues with .swf files displaying until using Dreamweaver CS4.
I updated my photography portfolios in Adobe Bridge, and used Dreamweaver CS4 to link the updates.
NOTHING MORE THAN THAT!
Then, NONE of the .swf files that were always viewable are showing.
There is absolutely NO Flash content showing on any page of the site now.
Not even in browser view in Safari, or Firefox.
I uploaded the files along with the newly created SCRIPTS folder to my server, and still no .swf files are viewable.
These are NOT FLV files they are .swf files that were imbedded properly, and were always viewable. Until now.
I have to go to Tokyo in two days and give a presentation of this site.
What is the problem?
The attached files show the view in Dreamweaver CS4. The view in Safari, and the view in Firefox.
I'm screwed for a desperately needed job in Tokyo if I can't get this fixed ASAP.
Please help.

i think you are on to something here. but i am not sure how to go about fixing this.
are you saying the "../s
should be replaced with "S
where is this code located? in the source code of each page that has the swf files? i should replace it with the correct version you copy and pasted? and that should resolve the problem?
big thanks if this is the issue.
<script src="../scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The correct link to that file would be this -
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Note the "S" in place of the "s". *nix servers are case sensitive.

[Need help with a swf file]

Hello,
I need help with a flash demo that I am creating. I have a
main swf file that contains links to other sub swfs that I have
created. What I really want this to do is... when I click on one of
the link on the browser, the other swf have to load in the window.
I tried to code it with .loadMovie,.... but for some weird reason,
it is not showing up.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

you might have a security violation and you do have a
load-target issue. remove that "_parent": there's no 2nd parameter
in the loadMovie() method.
if you want to replace the main swf with that url, loading
into _root is fine. otherwise, you want to use a different
target.

Need help with combining swf files together

Hi Everyone
I have problem with my project.
I created several SWF files, now i want them to interact with each other
So there is main SWF file lets call it:
main.swf
then within that file(main.swf) i would like to create buttons which will be calling other swf files for instance by pressing one button one.swf will be open by pressing other button two.swf will be open and so on.
Then I would like to create buttons within one.swf and two.swf which will allowed to go back to main.swf
If someone could help me how to do it I will be grateful.
AS2.0 i am working with
many thanks

thanks for quick respond
So the first of all my main.swf would load, within it i would have a button. If i click on button will take me to frame 40 ( just example ) where i will have this.loadMovie("first.swf"), when this file will be loaded i want to have other button with in the first.swf which will take me back to main.swf and now you are suggesting to use this.removeMovie("first.swf")?
I am not sure if i got you answer right
Thanks again for help i am quite new to ActionScript as you can tell.
