Dashboards to SWF export automation

Hi All,
When we click on export in dashboards then it will shows us as .SWF as option.
Is there any way to automate this process? Means, there is one executable file which will pick up .XLF file from folder location and convert it into .SWF flash file format.
Please let me know if anyone has done this earlier and also where to get SDK or API for same?
Thanks in advance....

hi Anand,
there is no other way, but u make that way simple by using B1DW for packaging that .swf file in dashboard package..
Please check B1DW

Dashboard Design Not exporting to SWF on Win7 platform.

I am using Dashboard Design version 6.0.0.0 Build 14,0,2,364 and can create and test dashboards all day. It will not export to swf file though. I am running this on Windows 7. Is there an issue with running Dashboard Design on Windows 7?

If you are using BICS connection you will not able to export it in SWf format,otherwise you can export to swf
explain what type of error you are getting
check you flashplayer settings once
in windows 7 also you can export you dashboard into swf's

Issue on Dashboard 4.1 Export as .SWF file while retrieving more than 5000 rows.

Hi Experts,
    We have a BO Dashboard (version 4.1) that displays the treasury information on cash flows across various countries and regions.
     The dashboard is built on Universe and has large number of components (like filter, aggregation, glow region) with some third party Centigon add on for Google Maps. - GMaps Plugin for SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards provides an interactive map design solution for enterprise dashboards components).
     When trying to add more source content to the existing dashboard (and exceeding more than 5000 rows ) and trying to export the dashboard as .SWF file , we are getting a run-time error as below.
     But when we minimize the number of rows manually in data mapping (<=4500 rows) we are able to export the .SWF file.
      Seriously couldn't arrive at any conclusion or it is a tool limitation.
     Please help us in this issue.

I partially agree with you, When I say condition I was talking about LOAD when clause in ACCESS PARAMETERS not where condition of select clause
When you use load condition with a byte range is checked before parsing the row , So to skip a row you can use something like this (seee example below)
CREATE TABLE ext_employees
(employee_id NUMBER(4),
first_name VARCHAR2(20),
last_name VARCHAR2(25),
job_id VARCHAR2(10),
manager_id NUMBER(4),
salary NUMBER(8,2),
commission_pct NUMBER(2,2),
department_id NUMBER(4),
email VARCHAR2(25)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_dir1
ACCESS PARAMETERS
records delimited by newline
LOAD WHEN ( 1:5) != '*****'
badfile ext_bad_dir:'empxt%a_%p.bad'
logfile ext_log_dir:'empxt%a_%p.log'
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
( employee_id, first_name, last_name, job_id, manager_id,
salary, commission_pct, department_id, email
LOCATION ('empext.dat')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
This may solve his problem

SWF Export, no font showing in Acrobat and zoom border problem (Acrobat & Reader) - Indesign CS6

Hi Everyone,
If anyone could help me on this that would be great, I've spent hours on the forums and manuals to no avail.
I'm making an interactive PDF brochure in Indesign for one of our new products and I'm having issues (actual or perceived??!!) with the SWF export and PDF creation. I'm placing animations and video in the INDD, exporting it as an SWF (with the text option as Flash Classic Text) and then opening the SWF (not importing to a word doc or anything, just opening the SWF) with Acrobat using the advanced options to import the video resources and to enable the content when the page is opened. I then save the file as a PDF. In the PDF everything works as it should, the animations, the buttons, the video plays and so on. Great.. hmm not quite.
The trouble I am having is that all the content of the SWF when viewed in Acrobat seems to be getting rasterised/flattened - is this correct? After the SWF is opened, Acrobat indicates no fonts in the fonts tab in the document properties so when the SWF is zoomed in Acrobat, or the saved PDF in Reader, the font gets pixelated and the document is not searchable/text can not be highlighted. The images are not selectable either - it is as if the entire page has been flattened to one image. Is there a way to stop this so that the SWF opened with Acrobat retains the font and individual images like a normal PDF? Do I have to open the SWF in Flash first to set some parameters or something? Is there something I am doing wrong when exprting the SWF from Indesign? I think I have tried about every possible export combination. When I open the .HMTL (exported at the same time as the SWF from Indesign) in a browser, the same happens. All the animations work but the text appears to be rasterised/flattened/not searchable. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology.
I have tried importing the SWF back into another new INDD and exporting that as an interactive PDF but then the video does not work. I suppose I could try exporting all the individual animations as SWFs, importing them all and trying to get them to work with the video but I can see that will take quite some time and does not seem to be a guaranteed solution from what I have read on the forums - video playback being the issue.
Another problem is that when the SWF, or saved PDF, is zoomed in Acrobat/Reader between approx 150% and 210% a thick white border appears in the document and the content is squashed into the middle creating a slightly pixelated and narrow page. When I zoom out from the page I get a small white line on the right hand border at around 70% zoom. Please see images. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
On another, sort of related topic, my timing panel went blank yesterday and was not showing any animations in documents that it had been used to order and synch animations on page load as well as new documents. The panel was blank. I updated to V8.0.1 and the panel sprang back into life - hope that helps anyone else finding the same problem.
I am not very familiar with Indesign/Acrobat/Flash so I guess all the above could be what I'm doing or I could be asking really dumb questions - apologies from a newbie.
Best,
Emily

Hi All,
I have now pretty much solved all the issues by creating the SWF in Flash rather than Indesign. I would advise anyone looking to create an interative PDF with animation and interactivity to go with Flash from the start. While Flash is a little more involved to create the same effects as Indesign, the extra time taken will ensure a more controllable and better looking PDF in terms of text quality, scalability and so on. Plus you will not spend days trying to get video to work along side imported SWF etc in Indesign. One of the best controls in Flash is being able to set the stage.scaleMode for the document so the PDF still looks crisp when zooming, no white borders etc. So, create the .fla, export to .SWF, open the .SWF with Acrobat, modify the advanced settings to enable start on page load and save as a PDF. If you don't know Flash, I didn't a couple of days ago, watch a couple of tutorials on Youtube.. buttons, tweens, embedding video and you'll be ready. Don't be put off by ActionScript, there are really handy Code Snippets in CS6 that do all the heavy lifting for you.
Sorry Indesign!
Best,
Em

Can I make an InDesign CS4 .swf export scale depending on the open size of a browser?

Hi there. I would like to make my inDesign CS4 .swf file able to scale in accordance with the open size of a browser. When I have used Flash previously changing the size of the document to 100% achieved this effect. However, I'm not having much luck with this approach with my inDesign CS4 .swf export. I'm loathe to export it as an XML file for Flash as I want to keep my fancy page turns. Any help would be very much appreciated. I'm not very fluent in Flash-speak so I'd also appreciate it if anyone offering a solution could t-a-l-k r-e-a-l s-l-o-w.

Jackie

This is quite old thread, I don´t have those source codes anymore... besides many people still uses monitors with width of 1024, 1219px wide magazine would clip in those monitors, so I don´t suggest to use it without shrinking....
Anyway, if you want to improve positioning of your SWF, you have at least two way to do it
1) Go to free http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html and create a new html-wrapper for your project
2) If that´s not enough or you want some extra features like zoom, print or search, go to http://www.edocker.com and download a free trial of eDocker.
ps. eDocker is in Adobe MAX Awards final, if you want to help it to win.... go to

Automatic page transition in swf-Export

Hello,
I have a brochure for a swf-export. I want the pages to turn automatically after a few seconds.
Haven't found such option yet. Hope you can help me.
Regards,
Paul

There´s no such feature in InDesign....
If you want to make that happen, you need to do some actionscript coding.
Is this what you want (it takes few seconds to start):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17227987/autopageturn/index.html
If it is, you can download those files as zip-pacakge:
http://www.edocker.com/support/edocker-freebies/
1) Extract ZIP,
2) replace SWFfromID.swf, you may actually export SWF from InDesign directly to that same folder, use that name and overwrite existing file.
3) Then open index.html to your browser.
Pageturning delay is 5 seconds.
If you need more control over your SWF, you may want to check http://www.edocker.com. With it you can add features like zooming, printing etc to your SWF files.....

Is it possible to write a script that changes swf export settings?

I want to be able to export a swf file that uses a different text anti-alias setting. Is it possible to create a script that can set and export a swf file to my specifications?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Is it possible to create a script that can set and export a swf file to my specifications?
It seems there isn't. A script cannot add basic functionality, only access it. In this case, you can't change the setting because there is no 'antialias text' setting in the SWF export settings.
However, all is not lost. Google turned up this helpful page; it might be possible to edit your SWF after exporting and then re-save it.

Animations to SWF Export, place back, make PDF: Acrobat XI?

I read that Flash runtime is not supported anymore in Acrobat XI. What does that mean for clients viewing PDF files that have placed SWF files and viewing them on computers that have no Flash player/plug-in installed? I have clients that export InDesign animations to SWF and place them back before making a PDF...

Please help me, how can i quit receiving thesemeseages from This In design forum?

Keynote swf export compatible with Flash AS3?

I have flash controls now written in AS3 but when I export swf from keynote I get a conflict- looks like keynote swf exports in as2. Is there anyway to change the keynote preference? Anyone know of other converters to produce swfs compatible with AS3?

Adding movies to Indesign automated page-curl swf export

I know there have been several discussions on this, but I thought I would ask the question anyway.
I have a magazine created in InDesign, I can add hyperlinks to pages and websites and export it as a nice swf file with a page curl transition. The problem seems to be when anyone wants to edit the Flash file (.xfl), they loose the nice smooth page curl transition, is there no way this can be moved to Flash easily (bear in mind my knowledge of Action script is limited).
Any help would be much appreciated.

See this Help topic. From InDesign CS4, you have two ways to create Flash files -- SWF and XFL. If you export to SWF, you can include page curls, hyperlinks, transitions, and navigation buttons. If you export to XFL, you lose any button, hyperlink, or transition you've added in InDesign, and you use Flash Pro to add those things along with fancier animation effects. If you export to SWF, you can't edit the file. If you export to XFL, you have to know Flash Pro well enough to edit the file.

How to share .swf exported for SAP BO Dashaboard design

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to share updated dashboard created with leadership.
They do not have Dashboard installed or web server installed.
Dashboard is created on SAP BW bex queries.
I am able to export .swf file, however, when I am trying to execute it as standalone file, I am unable to do it.
Can anyone suggest, how I can share .swf with leadership? They have Adobe flashplayer installed as required.

Hi Neha,
If i understood your question clearly, you need to invoke the swf file in another machine, where you haven't used any design tools. am i correct.
The logic is simple, when you are executing the file in your machine its accessing the BO server in the back-end, so try to maintain the server details in host entries, then try to invoke the dashboard and let me know the outcome.

Live office based dashboard - issue in Exporting to PPT

Hello All,
We're currently developing dashboards on sap bw queries.
The architecture is SAP BW Query->WEBI 4.0 -> LIve OFfice->Dashboard
Everything is working as expected and we're able to execute dashboards on Infoview.
But, there seems to be some issue when we try to export the dashboard to power point.
We get a strange message "Error #2060".
When we export to pdf , it works as expected.
We have implemented all steps required to make the file/folder Trusted :
<To make a file trusted in Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager
If you want to run a model locally, you must add the file location to the trusted locations in the Adobe
Flash Player Settings Manager.
1. To open the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager, go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/doc
umentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html.
2. On the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager page, in the "Table of Contents", click Global Security
Panel Settings.
3. Select the Always Allow option.
4. In the Always trust files in these locations list, select Edit locations > Add location.
5. Browse to the location of the SWF file (or container file such as PowerPoint, HTML, and so on) and
click Open.
6. Click Confirm.>
Aslo , we have updated the crossdomain.xml file in the root folder ,the new crossdomain.xml file is as below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
"http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd ">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="" headers="" secure="false" />
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
We are successfully able to execute dashboards when exported to PDF files,
but when we try the same with word or powerpoint it throws error #2060.
Any pointers with respect to this is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinay

Hello all,
We were able to resolve the issue by adding the Office folder ( in program files)
in the trusted files/folder path of adobe global security panel settings.
Thanks and regards,

EMail Link in SWF exported from InD CS5 does not work

I'm trying to find a definitive answer on this. I have designed an interactive document in InD CS5 that has buttons and hyperlinks. When exported to SWF everything works except my e-mail hyperlink. It works fine in InDesign's preview pane. I've uploaded the file to my webserver for testing, the problem still occurs.
I found one post in another forum that quoted an Adobe InD developer stating that as of CS4 email links were not exported. However, I've not been able to find any mention of whether this works in CS5 or not.
Does anybody know for sure whether or not email links work in SWF files exported from CS5?

Sorry, no offense was intended. I had found references to problems with CS4, but nothing about CS5, and said as much in my post -- was frustrated that I had spent a long time looking and hadn't found any responses yet.
You mentioned using buttons rather than hyperlinks, and that worked for me -- but it might have just been a problem with my browser not properly reloading the flash file, too -- as I mentioned in my response.
But in any case, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION!

Why is my swf exporting as a small blank file?

I am very new to After Effects. I created an animated banner with text effects, images and movie files. It is 1 minute long. I am trying to export this to an SWF so I can add dynamic links in Flash. When the file had less layers, it rendered and saved just fine, but now that it is completed with many more layers (28 layers) and is full length it will not export properly.
Let me clarify. When I export to SWF it goes through the motions, creates the files and everything, but when I open the SWF (either in a browser or in Flash) it is blank. When I get the properties of the file, it is only 23 bytes large. What am I doing wrong? I have tried to ignore and to rasterize unsupported content with the same result.

After Effects CS6 (11.0) has a bug with exporting SWF files that is fixed in After Effects CC (12.0), as mentioned in the "a few choice bug fixes" section here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/04/whats-new-changed-after-effects-next.html
But why are you exporting to SWF at all?
If you're exporting for further use in Flash, export to one of the video formats that Flash can import, preferably F4V. SWF is not a good choice for video. (You can, of course, in Flash create a SWF that embeds or links to an F4V file; that works well.)
Also, this part of your checklist seems wrong:
I'm using After Effects Cs6 version 11.0.0.378
I just installed updates yesterday.
If you installed the updates, you'd be using After Effects CS6 (11.0.2), not 11.0.0. Choose Help > Updates now to install the updates. There are a lot of bug fixes in the most recent updates.

HYPERLINKED BUTTONS not working in swf exports

On the preview inside indesign the when the buttons were click they direct me to the web page but when exported as swf file the buttons no longer works. I tried exporting the file in interactive pdf, fortunately the buttons are working. What might have caused the buttons not to function on the swf file? I am using indesign cs5. Please help. thanks in adv ance.
