Creating single .swf file without border causes control bar jump

If the goal is creating a single .swf file and the answer is
to simply uncheck the border checkbox, there's a small problem. If
there is a Captivate control bar -- in my case a full length
stretched one -- it will ride up and over the Captivate movie,
covering some of the movie. In my case the control bar is riding up
and over several buttons referenced in the project, screwing things
up considerably.
How can we keep the control bar from riding up -- or more
specifically perhaps being loaded over top of the project -- such
that it obscures part of the project?
Quick answers would be really fantastic!
Thanks!

Thanks Paul,
That did work. I use a pretty stripped down control bar so
adding in 27 pixles works. A cohort mentioned that Captivate 1
required a similar work around -- though it only produced a single
file. It'd have been nice to have known before her co-worker.
It's too bad there's not some verbage somewhere -- maybe in
the help -- that explains that adding a control bar to an exisiting
project will result in the toolbar obscuring some of the project --
how much depending on the size of the control bar.
It'd be great to have a little checkbox that would allow the
project to expand the exact number of needed pixels so that the
project and control bar were nearly mated together.
To come full circle, after I've done this and gotten the two
together, I have to resize again -- this time down -- for my
project.
So after making it bigger to fit the control bar, I resize it
again to make it smaller, make adjustments to the text -- which
doesn't seem to scale -- and to the caption boxes that don't mate
exactly anymore and publish. What I found is that the file size is
now closer to the original "larger" project file.
I find this curious, as I was finding when the control bar
was on top of the project before learning this workaround that the
file size for a smaller resolution project was actually turning out
larger. That never made sense to me.
After the workaround, it's actually close to the same size.
Thanks for your help!

  • Creating single SWF file

    Hi,
        I have several mp3 files that I use in my Flash animation but I want to publish this animation as a single SWF file. Don't want the mp3 to be also made available along with the SWF. Can you please tell me how to do this ?
    -Thanks

    Since I am not sure if your question was about security, you can use Sound and SoundChannel classes to stream mp3s at runtime.This way you don't need to include these files with your SWF and sound stream is more controllable.
    There are many tutorials on how to do that, inclusing Adobe documentation:
    http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/media/Sound.html
    http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/media/SoundChannel.htm l
    As for the security, DRM is a big expensive thing that is not affordable for the majority of us. In addition, there are tons of free stream sniffers on the web that extract media very easily.

  • How to use aggregator to create a single swf file from multiple files

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on the client's requirement where i have to create a SCROM 2004 based video. Its basically a PPT inside the captivate file. And it has around 175 slides in the file. Some of the slides have animations, voiceover. I am facing a problem during PUBLISHING the file into single SWF file format. Whenever I Publish the slides as SWF, it creates number of SWF files, Swf skin of the player and other manifest, Scorm 2004 files.
    I want only one single SWF file in which every slide should be incorporated in it. Dont know, why it is happening? I tried aggregator for this also, but it didnt worked... The Skin.swf has been easily added and no other files are adding. It shows me an error: "Name.swf is not a AS3 Captivate file ....."
    I am new to this. Please help me out as I have a very short deadline for this.
    Thanks and Regards

    Maybe you misunderstand: this is a user forum, not online help by Adobe staff.
    Sorry, but if you are that impatient, you'll have to pay for online support. You post a question and expect to have answers within minutes?

  • How to publish a single SWF file?

    Hello, I need to know how can I publish a single SWF file
    (like the EXE option).
    I've tryied to publish many times, but the Captivate creates
    many SWF files, including the skin.swf file, but this one I know
    how to remove.
    I'm using Captivate 3.0.
    Thank you!

  • Video and skin in single swf file... sigh....

    Hi all,
    This may be an obvious one to some of you but I have been
    tearing my hair out for several days and cannot find detailed
    information on what I am trying to do anywhere...
    I have a requirment to convert several short DV video files
    to SWF so I can publish on a web page. The finished products need
    to be a single SWF files.
    Importantly they also need to include a control skin.
    I have been trying to use both Flash CS3 and Captivate 3 to
    do this with no success. (I have found info on how to do it with
    Captivate, i.e. remove borders etc, but that presents some other
    problems which I won't go in to here as it's a different topic)
    Is what I am trying to do possible inside Flash ? Surely it
    is?! Can I import a DV video, add a control skin and publish it all
    as a single SWF ?
    I believe there are shareware third party products that can
    do this, but I really want to use Flash and I can't understand why
    it appears to be so difficult. (unless I am missing something
    obvious...)
    So if anyone coudl help that would be fantastic, even if
    that's just pointing me in the direction of some reading material..
    Cheers.

    It is. :)

    You can, but be aware that video -- especially sizable video
    -- works
    best when the FLV file is situated outside the SWF. I
    understand that your
    project requirements dictate otherwise, which makes this a
    bit of a
    challenge, but you can put everything into a single SWF. It
    just means
    you'll be building your elements by hand and will control the
    video as if it
    were a movie clip (that is, a MovieClip class instance)
    instead of an
    FLVPlayback instance or Video instance in conjunction with
    NetConnection and
    NetStream instances.

    Well, again, heavy Video files aren't really designed to
    play inside
    SWFs. For whatever reasons Macromedia/Adobe chose, video is
    ideally
    designed to be controlled as an external asset.
    In your case, you won't be able to use the FLVPlayback
    component. You
    won't even be able to use the older Media components or the
    component-less
    Video object solution. You'll import your video asset to the
    Library, place
    it inside a movie clip symbol (which will stretch to an
    incredible length),
    then place your movie clip on the Stage and give it an
    instance name. Once
    it has an instance name, you can refer to it with
    ActionScript. The
    MovieClip class entry of the ActionScript 2.0 Language
    Reference (or 3.0, if
    you're uasing AS3) will give you everything you need to know
    (and can do)
    with movie clips.
    ActionScript will give you access to the total number of
    frames of that
    clip, as well as the current frame. You can tell the playhead
    to go to any
    of its frames, play, stop, etc. In this way, you can mimic
    many of the
    capabilities of the FLVPlayback component -- though with less
    precision.
    The "skin" of your video player will be determined by you
    ... by button
    symbols for the buttons (or you could use movie clips), as
    well as other
    graphic elements. It's going to be a totally
    built-from-scratch project,
    and you'll have to program the buttons yourself. How would
    you rate your
    comfort level with ActionScript?

  • Creating 'packaged' SWF file with Flash Prof

    Hi Experts,
    I have a simple requirement, however, I have spent some time trying to find a solution to it and I'm a novice so would be v grateful from input from those more experienced.
    Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this).  Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
    object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
    codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
    width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" />
    <embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
    width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"
    allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
    My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
    I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard.  But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.
    Am I missing a trick here?  I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file. I would be grateful for any pointers.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Mark

    You wrote  "I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard" from this I conclude that you choose the deafult option, that says "load external video with plyback component" (only this one offers you a skin wizard). But when you deploy that swf to a server it still needs the flv source (search Help for FLVplayback), and even the Skin (its an extra swf) must be depoyed to the server. What you instead want to do is option 2: embed FLV in swf. There are some disadvantages to this solution: the longer the video, the more probable it is, Audio and Video will get desynchronized, and: you can`t use Adobes premade skins for the controls

  • Captivate 7 - How to publish into a single swf file?

    Our Authoring tool has been designed to cater for Captivat swf files for video uploads. Now that we have upgraded to Captivate 7 the swf - is merely a 'holden cache file' the video content is saved in the .mp4 file. Our programmer tells us that it will take some time to reprogramme this. Is there a way within the Captivate 7 publishing settings to still create a .swf file which will be able to stream the entire video content when uploaded or to generate a single swf file with all content?
    Thank you so much! We are trying superfast to adapt to all the different changes and really appreciate you input.

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'

  • How to create the SWF file which was included surrogate pairs.

    I would like to make sure how to create the SWF file which are included surrogate pairs.
    The error of outside the scope of unicode occurred when I compiled(mxmlc) the as file which was set surrogate pairs to 'Unicoderange'.
    Ex, I set the '  '(UTF-16 is '20B9F') to 'Unicoderange'.
    However, I cannot add the surrogate pairs.
    The error of outside the scope of Unicode occurred when I compiled the AS file.
    The reason of error was that the Unicode(UTF-16) of surrogate pairs is invalid.
    Then, I read the following pages.
    These pages are written that unicode-range supported surrogate pairs.

    I've been able to create project jar files in Eclipse by selecting Export from the File menu, then choose Java - Jar file - and provide the required information, name, destination folder etc. But when I do this, I do not export other jars on the build path this way nor do I expect to do this. I am only concerned with creating a jar file of my own work. A jar file does not "contain" other jar files. If the jar file contains the main method, and requires other jars for it's execution, then you may wish to include a reference to required jars on the class path entry of the Manifest file of the jar file you create. I'm not sure how to create a Manifest file in eclipse though..

  • Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

    Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
    I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

    What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
    Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
    Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through.  I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
    Now I can't even do that.  So what then?  You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
    And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content.  The error it pops up?  That's simply another method of error checking that I require.  Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
    Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways?  It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

  • So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as a single swf file from captivate.

    Dear friends,
    I am beginner in Adobe Captivate. We have a E-learning
    project. We are using Dockers as our LMS. Previously we were using
    Flash for all. Now we are trying Captivate for better and faster
    results. I have few swf files and i inserted al files in Captivate
    and i published. So instead of getting single output, am getting
    all the swfs, skin swf and html file. Html file is accessing all
    swfs and works. But it is not working in Dockers. Single swf will
    only work in Dockers. So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as
    a single swf file from captivate. please Help mee.
    Thanks
    Flashlover

    If 'Dockers' cannot handle a .zip file as the content and
    instead
    requires a single, uncompressed content file, then it is not
    SCORM-compliant. The SCORM specification requires the LMS to
    handle a
    'pif' file (most common is .zip) which contains the lesson
    and the
    required manifest file. If Dockers doesn't support that then
    you can't
    do SCORM-compliant content.

  • How to play a swf file without a browser

    I know it sounds bizzare, but not all machine have a
    compatible browser installed. I was using flash player stand alone
    version for playback of swf files. But, flash player 9 will only
    install if I have a browser installed.
    I can still play swf file on a machine with a browser, but
    the swf file does not come in with a built in playback control, so
    I have to watch the video without a playback control.
    Is there anyway I can download a standalone version of
    flashplayer, just like flashplayer 5.
