'Classic' textfield in CS5 - no margins on published swf

I've got numerous static textfields containing formatted text that I have formatted in the IDE. Some paragraphs within the textfield have margins, some don't. In the IDE, all looks great. However, when published the tf seems to have a constant margin. Anyone know anyway round this without resorting to many textfields / dynamic text?

Try this:
DW Menu > Insert > Media > Flash Video >
Progressive Download Video > Browse
for .flv file > Select a skin > Hit Ok.
Upload page and dependant files - including Scripts folder -
to server.
Does that help?

  • How to set default size for published SWF in Catalyst CS5.5

    I create a 800*600 pixel project in Catalyst CS5.5 and published it as .swf.
    But when I opened the published .swf, the default size is smaller than 800*600. I have to resize it by myself.
    So is there any method that I can set the default size for published .swf?
    Thank you guys! Best regards.
    Nick

    When you start new Flash Catalyst project, you have the option to enable resizing
    This setting is enabled by default.
    If you need to change this later, you can go into Modify > Artboard settings.
    Now when you publish your project, the width and height will be used instead.
    As to manually editting the HTML file, there are 3 tag sets that define the width and height of the project (to handle various browsers). You will need to adjust the values in each of those tag sets. You should only need to do this if you can't republish the file.

  • CS5.5 Publish SWF including Main.AS script

    Hi,
    In Flash Pro CS5.5, I've created an Fla and scripted it (in AS3) using a separate AS file (package) which is linked. When I publish the SWF and both the SWF and AS files are in the same folder, it runs fine. If I separate out the SWF (without the AS file), and try to run it, it doesn't play (run the script).
    How do I include (embed) the AS file into the published SWF so that wherever the SWF is located, it is self-contained so that it plays using the script from the AS file?
    Regards,

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you for this explanation. After a lot of experimenting, I seem to be able to get the AS's script included in the published SWF, but 6 MP3's (although imported to library and/or stage) are still separated and, unless in the same folder as the SWF, will not work. With beginner skills, I think that maybe this is caused by these MP3's also being loaded in the separate AS file. Ithink that all of this could be solved if I could figure out how to put all the script in a single Fla, then maybe it could somehow  also "embed" the 6 MP3's in the final published SWF. I've tried to re-do the AS file's script, but since these are "public" class definitions, etc., keep getting error messages. Quite a "mess." Not sure how to fix it.
    Regards,

  • Resetting default name/location for published SWFs - how?

    I have several FLA files that have had the default name and location for the published SWF changed from the default (which normally saves the published SWF with the same file name as the originating FLA and in the same location). I want to use these FLA files as the basis for new animations but every time I create a new version, I have to remember to go to File -> Publish Settings... and manually change the file name to the new version.
    Is there any way to reset the default save settings (without changing the rest of the publish settings)?
    I'm currently using Flash CS5.5.

    This has always been on my wishlist but Flash will only reliably save, as you said, to a relative local location. If you specify a fill location (C:\this\that\there.swf), and then open a new SWF and publish it, you will find exactly what you did, that it doesn't publish where you told it.
    The only way I got around this was sticking very closely to relative paths. Flash doesn't have a problem if you publish to a location like: ./../bin/my.swf
    If you point it directly to a fill path without using a relative path, you'll need to hit browse and repoint the publish to that location every time you open the file. Annoying, I know, and I hope it gets fixed real soon.

  • Can't publish SWF - Catalyst crashes...

    When choosing File>Pubilsh, with the intention of generating a SWF, Catalyst crashes. Is it because I'm running it on Mac ver 10.5.2? is there any way to see the size of a SWF generated by Catalyst besides explicitly publishing the swf (which I haven't been able to do) and bringing it into Flash to see Bandwidth Profiler properties?

    I had it when I had the Beta Software installed, but when I upgraded to CS5 I never got publishing errors.
    Adobe may want the logs for this, so:
    Press CMD + SPACE,
    Type Terminal,
    Hit ENTER.
    Paste:
    cp /Users/[your username here]/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Flash\ Catalyst/Workspace/.metadata/.log ~/Desktop/log
    On your desktop you'll have a log file.
    Open it and copy and paste it here.

  • Detect flash player version of published SWF

    Hi I have a swf file (let say child.swf).
    Once It loaded I want to know parent swf was published on flash player 9 or flash player 10. How to find that?
    Question:
    1)parent.swf loades child.swf
    2)after child.swf loaded --> need to check parent.swf is published on flash player 9 or 10.
    3)if parent.swf published on flash player 9 then child.swf will run a function
    4)if parent.swf published on flash player 10 then child.swf will run some other function.
    On the above for the based on the 2nd point question 3 or 4 will happen.
    On the above case I have only one parent... In some other case I may have multiple parents. My question to how to detect top most player's published version?
    Note:
    Capabilities.version returns current flash player version which is installed on browser (it is not help my question)
    The following link has infomation about As version used on the swf (it is not help my qeuestion)

  • Button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf

    Captivate 6, button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf, the cursor changes the “the hand” but the hyperlink does not redirect.
    Any ideas?
    Like I said my buttons work great in preview mode after publishing, one click and the PDF opens in a new browser window. Open the project through the published .swf files and the links will not work.
    Using Captivate 6 on WIndows 7

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Once your project published, add the .swf file in Flash Global Setting :
    1) Right Click on the content (Published .swf file) and click on Global Settings
    2) Go to Advanced Tab and Click on Trusted Location Settings  (Scrool down to see this button)
    3) Click on "Add" button and then "Add file", browse for the Captivate 6 published file and click on OK
    4) Launch the .htm file again (Location where Captivate publish your project)

  • Publish SWF Output Options Export HTML

    I have a number of projects that display the Export HTML,
    Output Option of Publish SWF as checked and disabled. When I
    publish the project the htm file is not generated. All of these
    projects have SCORM Reporting selected and should be producing the
    swf file, htm file and scorm_support folder, but all I get is the
    swf file. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Raymond Sugel Sr

    IThis is an aside but would be good for other newbies to
    know:
    what I learned and maybe you already know this is that when I
    published (having htm selected) it generated an output folder on
    its own!!! Lorn behold my htm, swf, and a file named js (?), I
    think was in that folder. I would have never gone looking for
    another folder but happened to see that was where I had placed by
    1st cp project days earlier.

  • Image quality degrades in published swf

    I've built a Flash site for a freind who is a photographer.
    There are over 100 images on the site that are imported jpegs. Most
    of them look fine but two of them look very washed out when I
    publish my swf even though in the Flash project file they have very
    sharp contrast. These particular images are monochromatic. Is there
    anyway to preserve the variation of tones in the published swf?
    I've tried using them at maximum image quality, but had the
    same result.
    Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated.

    I tried saving as a png, but I got the same result. It's like
    my black becomes a dark grey and my midtones go light/
    white.

  • View last published swf from flash authoring envoirnment

    hi guys
    It might sound silly but how about having a shorcut/tool in flash IDE to view recently published swf file
    basicaly i m not updating content outside flash i.e. XML,images and I dont want to use windows explorer to run swf file and check the updated content
    Is there any quick way to achive this?
      adobe should look at these small things

    "Open Recent files" in file menu allows to open recent source files i.e. fla, as and not publised swf files
    Basicaly I my point is , why i have to publish fla when there is no channge
    I have a swf wihch is getting loaded in a container and no content/code is referenced in parent container. I am making changes in child fla and compiling it.
    to view the application i might have to  publishing Parent fla or goto explorer to run parent  swf which is very comfertable.

  • Layers/MCs no loading in published SWF

    This is boggling my mind.
    Certain pieces of my published SWF are not loading on the
    designed site. There doesn't seem to be any reason for this OR a
    method to why it's choosing the elements in question (though it
    always seems to be the same ones).
    The elements that aren't loading are simple movie clips - not
    externally loaded, nor even dynamically loaded from the library -
    and simply don't appear on the stage. A reload usually fixes it and
    the clips load; however, this, obviously, should not be a necessary
    action to get the SWF to load correctly.
    Does anyone have any insight at all?

    Hi,
    I am new to Flash but know what you are talking about (I
    hope).
    It sounds like you need to be reminded about the "publish"
    settings. Go to your "Properties" window, select Publish:
    "Settings" button to open the settings window.....
    You will want to toggle the "Export Hidden Layers" checkmark
    on or off depending on your needs.
    Does that fix it for you? If not, I didn't mean to be a know
    it all. It's probably one of the few things I do know about this
    app.
    Take care. :)

  • Two CS4's produce different published .swf from the same fileset

    Hello, I'm a novice at Flash, but an experienced troubleshooter, I've spent days on this intriguing problem:
    *Can two CS4's produce different published .swf from the same fileset?
    I have a flash suite written by a young man in China.
    When I test the .swf file in the suite it works fine.
    However I need to make some minor redesigns so I need to change the .fla file - but before I do I found that when I publish a new .swf from the .fla file (with all the necessary action scripts/xml etc in the right place) it doesn't produce the same outcome. Instead the navigation (next page, items per page etc) is missing.
    When he does the same thing (I trust his integrity) he gets the new .swf with the navigation in tact.
    You can see the two outcomes at the web address below (mock data).
    There are no code changes, no library changes that I can find.
    So I thought maybe there is something about different settings or 'environments' that can affect the outcome?
    You can see at   >> http://www.zaphmann.com/source/source.html << the correct navigation.
    Then merely republishing the source.fla (and a rename of .swf) NOW The navigation is gone.  >>>> http://www.zaphmann.com/source/sourcetoFromFLAswf.html <<<<<
    Any ideas???
    Thank you - a free book to anyone who has the answer.

    Hello Ned, I
    definitely have the very latest version, I will ask Mr. Chen to confirm his version. If his version were, say, 6 months old could that be of any significance?
    The software suite appears to have authored produced a while ago as it uses actionscript 2, or maybe he just prefers that.
    Basically the suite worked until he added a custom 'deeplink' (basically id tags in a few AS) and after which it still works at his end (compiled with CS3 or CS4), but not when I do likewise from the fla.
    I have trawled through the AS code changes and see no errors or changes that would affect the navigation portion of the code which remains the same, so I hypothesized that there may some settings that could affect the publishing.
    Young Mr. Chen in China seems to be a bright young man but not sto be so keen on deep troubleshooting...
    Any ideas you have, however wild are welcomed, I can also send source files if that would help.

  • Captivate 4 published SWFs won't play suddenly

    Hello, I have been happily making Captivate 4 training, using a template. The published SWry mF movies have been playing just fine... on my PC and several others.
    But today went to show off my work to the boss... who HAS successfully played previous Captivates I've made, and they won't play.
    Double-clicking the HTM, or trying to open the SWF from the browser just shows a blank white screen that does nothing.  What would cause a published SWF, etc., to suddenly not play on selected machines... the owner doesn't remember chanigng anything...
    And, what would be my trouble-shooting sequence to try and fix this problem?
    Thank you very much

    Hi there
    Same dog, different leg action. In other words, what you linked to is a red herring.
    What I mean by that is the article you linked to is referring to an inability to preview from Captivate 3. You are talking about Captivate 4 and the issue doesn't seem to manifest until after you publish, right?
    Sure, Flash Player 10 may appear to be the common link at the moment, but we don't know for sure. With Captivate 3, the issue was only with preview. The output worked just fine. So the issue there is with an internal mechanism in Captivate as you work to create your content. What you are seeing now is certainly related to the internals of Captivate, but 4 is a new beast. It would seem that 4 has maybe introduced something causing this for you.
    There may have been a few other posts related to this phenomenon. But they are very few and far between. Given the widespread use of the Flash Player, if it were solely an issue with the Player, I might expect we would have seen loads of reports. But we haven't.
    I'll be very interested to see what you discover. Out of curiousity, I'm guessing you have attempted different combinations of settings? AS2 VS AS3, externalizing items, etc.?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Publishing SWF in Adobe Captivate 3 produces no output

    Hi,
    Until recently I could merrily publish SWF, Adobe Connect Pro, Standalone (.exe) in Adobe Captivate 3. Now on some of my "presentations" when I try to publish as SWF no output is produced. Although I do get the progress bar, and the usual messages saying that SWF files are being compressed, etc., and although I do get the green check mark representing a successful publish,  the "View Output" box is greyed out. When I navigate to the location where the SWF should be there is simply nothing there. Publishing to STANDALONE, on the other hand, works perfectly fine.
    As I say, I can still publish to SWF with many of my Captivate 3 presentations. But with the others I can only publish to STANDALONE where everything including the "View Output" box works fine. All my Captivate 3 work is based on a single template so I can't understand how this could be related to preferences but I'm willing to try any good recomendation.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I'm sure there are other forum posts about this out there but
    I think this is how you do it.
    In Captivate go to the Project menu and open the Skin Editor.
    On the Borders tab you need to switch off borders.
    I think this should give you one file when you output but you
    will have to check whether the skin now covers part of your
    presentation.
    If so you may need to resize your project height to include
    the height of the playback control. Go to Project > Resize
    project.
    Hope this helps.

  • .load method won't execute in published .swf

    Hello
    This line of code won't execute in a published .swf. Test movie (ctrl + enter) works fine.
    j_session = new URLVariables();
    j_send = new URLRequest("https://web.e-fon.ch/portal/j_acegi_security_check");
    j_loader.load(j_send);
    I'm assuming it's some type of network permission. Ideas?

    upload to a server and test or add the file that contains that code to your trusted files.
    also, you may need a cross-domain permissions file if that is a cross-domain request (if it's not, use a relative path) and you expect something returned to your flash.
    also, you're not defining or sending any variables which may or may not be an issue.

Maybe you are looking for
