CS6 Encore Flash output is blank

I'm at a loss here. I'm exporting a large project (lots of menus, clips, etc) via 1280x720 Flash. When I load the index.html, nothing comes up (just dark grey space). There are no error messages. I have tried it on multiple machines with multiple browsers. When I create a dvd from the same project, it works just fine.
Some notes (that may or may not help):
- The source files are 1080p.
- I've just completed a similar project, that was actually MUCH larger, and had no issues. The only variable is that THAT project was started in CS5 and finished in CS6. If I go back to CS5, I would imagine that I'd have to start from scratch? As I said, this is a large project with LOTS of menus and clips, so I'd rather not do that.
- Mac OSX 10.7.4
- I am exporting to a local network drive (SAN) (this will not go online, the end product will be on a thumb drive).
- Premiere Pro is NOT a part of the workflow.
I've looked all over the web and only found one similar issue, but said issue was related to PremPro settings (not relevant here).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Encore Flash Output: What about HTML5?

I absolutely love the DVD (and Blu-Ray?) output to the Web feature of Encore. I've used it many times for my wedding videography clients to have an on-line version of their wedding they can share with friends and family.
However, the biggest drawback has long been that Apple Iphones/Ipods will not play them. And therefore Brides or Grooms cannot show their friends or family their wedding while visiting them, unless they're at their computer, and if they have the latest version of flash, and so on and so on.
And lately HTML 5 has entered the web video discussion. Many know about Apple's resistance to Adobe with the Flash issue. And now, did I just read that Google Android will stop supporting Flash?!
As much as I love this feature I am greatly concerned it will fall by the wayside. And more importantly, all the previous wedding video Flash versions of my DVDs I have already made. I am worried all my hard work will have to be re-captured from a video DVD disc in order to view on the web in the future.
My question is, what is Adobe doing to address this? It would be incredible to see some kind of side conversion program to convert Encore Flash DVD files to HTML5 or something compatible with smartphones and portable devices.

Adding a download progress bar to a flash output

I have the CS4 production premium package. I made a flash based web page to function like my DVD project by "building" the project in Encore which creates the page along with the referenced flash video files without having to know action script. I was wondering if there is an easy way to include a download progress bar in the flash output? If it is not possible to add a download progress bar directly by changing some option before I "build"/export the project from Encore, is there a snippet of code I could insert in one of the files after it has been created so a progress bar is added to the video? Here is a link to the page I created. If you click the "TQ4" button you will notice that there is no download progress bar that is visible when the controls are showing.

There's no easy way, no.
It may be possible to do this in Flash if you built your own custom player, but you'd essentially have to reverse engineer your Encore Flash output (no small task).
If you have access to a Flash Media Server, you might want to consider the streaming output option, which avoids downloading issues entirely.

A simple question regarding flash output from Encore

My primary question is how exactly is the html file that is playhed by the browser created in Encore? I have tired this and I am simply unable to located the html file as seen in the tutorials on this subject. I see that these tutorials have templates which I don't see when I select the flash output. Do I need these to crreate a simple flash file that is playable on a website? Where to the templates come from? This is not explained in the tutorials.
Is the index.html file created automatically when Flash output is selected as the format? Maybe I am doing something wrong but I have never found them?
Please help as I am having to go through a two step process to create the requied index.html and embeded player from which the SWF is played.on a site. I am only interested in creating progressively encoded web site playable files from Encore. Please help!.
Thanks for any assistance.

Encore creates the HTML file when you export to Flash - it's in the folder named on export, along with all the other files you'll need.

Problems with Flash output using Safari

Hi All,
does anyone know the solution to getting the flash output to work with safari? The project plays properly on Firefox and Chrome. On safari, my custom menus come up just the same as on the DVD version of the project, but the flash videos do not play - just a grey screen. Interestingly, the duration of the clips is set correctly in the player, it just doesn't start the video. The flash files play correctly when loaded directly into Adobe flash player, so I am assuming there is a compatibility issue with the generated XML files or index.html. The code inside the index.html seems very old and refereences macromedia.com and a windows .CAB file. I have shortened the file names and eliminated any offending characters (all are in the form "Chapter_1").
Anyway, this is stopping me delivering a project on USB stick for a client - seems to be a common issue when searching the web, but no solutions. Any assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have the full CC (2014), but still have Encore CS6 installed for DVD production.
Regards,
Mark

I read the thread you mentioned and all others relating to this issue - seems to be a number of people having the same issue over the last 3 years, but none have posted a successful conclusion. I did see the post about strange characters in file names causing issues in the XML - I did also look at this and change all my content file names to innocuous "Chapter_X" & etc. The paths to the "Sources" directory are all relative and the project works correctly on Chrome and Firefox. Just safari is not working. Agree, it could be permissions, but I have checked all security settings and the Abobe Flash player (with is called up by the script to display the videos in the browser) is specifically permitted to "Allow Always" in the security settings. I can't help thinking there is a problem with the generated XML that safari is not behaving correctly - it wouldnt be the first time that Apple doest things using their interpretation of a standard.
However, after all that, the generated code from Encore doesn't result in a working local project that I can send to a client and expect to work.

Linking to Flash output from SharePoint

Still pushing our Upper mgmt to purchase RH6 and RH6 server,
we are getting what seem to be 'blocker' suggestions. Now they are
talking about the outpot living in SharePoint1
i can see that this would be a real no-no, but it is possible
they may agree to simply having a link to a proper Web page on
which the flash output would reside.
Are there any horror stories about using SharePoint as a
repository to back up my resistence? :) Or is it too ridiculous to
ask?
thanks.

This is how Encore's slideshow works when you export to SWF, due to each slide being a separate FLV file.
The only way around it is to create your slideshow in Premiere, and then export it as AVI and import that into Encore.
Not sure why your HTML doesn't work. It's standard boilerplate SWF object and embed tags.

How can I see the same configuration make in Flash CS6, in Flash CC?

In Flash CS6, when making the configuration to create a new flash file, I would put AS2 and Flash Player 9. I would review those configurations in the publish settings panel. If I open that same file (made in CS6) using the Flash CC, the publish settings display from 10.3 and AS3. Is there a way to check those configurations that I had on CS6, using Flash CC? I have a production of 200 banners made in CS6 but have now installed Flash CC. I would like to know how can I verify from Flash CC that all banners are made in Flash Player 9 and AS2.

no, flash pro cc does not support as2.
continue to use flash pro cs6 for as2 projects.

CS6 Trial, Flash Builder 4.7 and CC

Here's the overall circumstance:
I have a new job with an employer that is using CS6 Master Collection. It is installed on my at work workstation as a trial. Inhouse support says a licence is on its way. I also have a CC licence personally.
Here's what I wanted to achieve:
- update Flash Builder 4.6 to 4.7 which is a free update under CS6
Here's what I did:
- I couldn't find the direct download for 4.7 so I signed into my CC account and downloaded and installed 4.7, assuming it would run under the CS6 trial
Here's what happened:
- Flash Builder wants to use the CC licence under which I downloaded it
- I have already used the two installs for the CC licence (I run a Mac as my personal development machine with Parallels/Windows and have a CC licence running on the Mac and my second CC install running on the Windows partition on the Mac)
- Flash Builder won't run unless I deactivate my other installs on my Mac
- other CS6 apps are running under the trial licence
Here's what I did to troubleshoot:
- uninstalled CS6
- uninstalled CC
- downloaded the AdobeCreativeClouldCleanerTool
- cleaned everything available under the tool
- everything was removed except for the 64 bit Flash Builder 4.7 install
- deleted the 4.7 install folder directly as there was no uninstaller available (Flash Builder was not listed under the Control Panels:Programs and Features)
- re-installed CS6, including Flash Builder 4.6 (I'd given up on having 4.7 until my CS6 licence is established)
- now Flash Builder 4.6 won't run at work unless I deactivate my CC licences on my personal Mac
- all the other re-installed CS6 apps run under the trial
To the questions:
1) Is there any way to get Flash Builder 4.6 working again under the trial?
2) Will Flash Builder 4.6 work under the CS6 licence once I have a serial number?
3) Is there anyway to update Flash Builder to 4.7 and have it work with the CS6 serial number?
Chris

I experienced this problem today, and kind of "solved" it. There may be an underlying bug, though.
My project compiled fine last Thursday, but I opened it up on Monday (unchanged) and this error showed up in several files. I tried quitting and restarting Flash Builder to no avail. I could not replicate the problem in a new project.
For me, each occurence of the error was at a private function definition, so I thought I would try changing "private" to "public" on one of the functions. The error immediately went away in all 3 locations (not just the one I edited). I then changed it back to "private" with no error.
I hope that will help the Adobe team track down the problem.

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Hi,
searched your post for keywords "JDeveloper" "ADF" "JSF" but could not find them. So are you sure you are posting to the right forum?
If you have an issue with MS WOrd and PDF then Microsoft and Adobe are the ones to call for help. Jasper Reports also is not owned by Oracle, which is another area you want to investigate

Help with Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4

Hello I use Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4. When I export a drawing realized in Illustrator in the size(format) .sof Flash, this one is imported in the library(bookcase) of Flash CS4 but he(it) is created with a multitude of graphic symbols and symbols Bipmap. In the scene(stage) of Flash, the image is illegible it is floutée, apparently it is not a vectorial image. Thank you for your answer. Very cordially.
Thank You !!!

Sometimes a picture is better than a description. I had to use a translator to find out that floutee means blurred.
Generally bitmaps (raster images) are not a strong suite for illustrator. It can do some things with them, just not as much as photoshop. Maybe if you could explain what you want to do with the symbol, then maybe we can give some ideas. Also by posting a screen shot, we might know of where there is a vector alternative.

HP 7280 outputs a blank page before every page printed

Newly-installed 7280 works fine, but everytime something is printed, it outputs a blank page before every printed page. This is true whether printing from Word, IE, Outlook, Quicken, Photoshop, etc.
I have checked all likely culprits in the printer dialog boxes, including clearing the Separator Page option.
Any thoughts?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

are your computers running windows XP or Vista? because in Vista, if it uses the pre-installed drivers that come with the OS, then it prints blank sheets between the printed sheets. if you install the driver from the CD directly, then it has resolved the issue a lot of times for me.
so to the properties of the printer, and go to the Advanced Tab, and click in New Driver. and in teh wizard, select HP Photosmart 'C7200' and not Photosmart '7200' (considering it is the Photosmart C7280). that should work.

Photoshop CS6 and Flash CS6?

Good afternoon,
I would like your opinion and advice on something.
I have Dreamweaver cs6 and fireworks cs6, both i bought second hand at buyoemsoftware.com, I would like to know if is a good investment to buy photoshop cs6 and flash cs6 to make flash web sites and were can i learn how to make flas websites, and why is photoshop is better than fireworks.
Best regards,
Marco Alex

I have used Photoshop for many years for working with photographs. So I'm more comfortable using PS. But if your primary focus is on web graphics, I think FW is all you need. PS does more but unless you're a photographer or working with print, you probably don't need all it's capabilities.
As Murray said, Flash is a dead web technology. You would be better off learning Adobe Edge Animate for web animations in HTML5, CSS & JavaScript.
