Dashed boarder around a flash file

Does anyone know why in the new firefox a dashed boarder appears around a flash file?
This is what is happening (www.cartertilman.com):
-the page loads with no problem
-when you click on the flash file a dashed boarder appears all the way around the flash file
-when you click off of the file the boarder goes away, but if you
click back on it then it comes back
The boarder is gray and is about 1 pixel thick and appears to be either dashed or dotted. I am not sure why this is.
The site is a few months old, and never had this issue in any browser. If anyone knows why this is please let me know.

Viewing the skin around a Flash file online

I am having trouble viewing the skin around my Flash video
after I publish it from Captivate. I am able to preview it in
Captivate and use the skin navigation, but when I add the Flash
file to my website the skin is no longer associated with the Flash
video. I uploaded the skin.swf file to the server along with the
other Flash files associated with the video, but the skin still
does not appear around the Flash video. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

Including an link to an help file(*.chm) in dash board

hi,
is it possible to place an *.chm file(help file) in the dash board .
i tried but OBI is not opening it up in that format.
can some one give me an solution to this.
thanks

'.chm' is a Microsoft Compiled Help file that only works in Microsoft Explorer. You are advised to convert it to a friendlier format like HTML.
As per Microsoft, due to a remote code execution vulnerability, you cannot open .chm from a URL. However there are some workarounds in the link below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
Coming back to Oracle BI, you could open the link in a separate window, and ask users to download the chm. Once downloaded locally, the chm file should work fine.

How can I open an old Flash file?

A tech person and I created a show in Flash in 2004 called Black on Black / 13; I'm not sure which version of Flash we used. It was put up in the Gallery of the website of a group I headed called The Lark Ascending, and sometime between then and now it disappeared off that website. I have about half a dozen Flash files of the show, but they will not play in the current Flash player or open in the current version of Flash, both of which I own.
I have the original jpegs and music and intend to recreate this work in another program and post it on Vimeo, but it would be very helpful and time-saving if I could use the original show as a reference as it is a highly complex work, and without the reference, it will take me a VERY long time to re-create it.
Is there any way to get one of those old files to play? I have older versions of Flash and probably the player from previous Creative Suites? Should I reinstall them and try them? Is it a lost cause?
Thanks for whatever, including the awful truth,
Karla

It sounds important to you, so you should try a few things.
You mention the year 2004; that was when Flash Player 7 was around. Try downloading Flash Player 7 from the archive page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
Make sure to uninstall the current version first with the uninstaller linked on that page.

WinCE Projector does not display flash file properly

Hi,
I built a projector application for loading flash files on a
Windows CE 5.0 based embedded device. I am using Flash player 7 for
WinCE5.0. The projector was built using embedded VC++ for an ARM
processor.
The basic idea of this flash application is content delivery.
So, this projector loads a container flash file stored locally on
the device. This container flash file communicates with a remote
server(webserver or FMS) to retrieve content (flash files, audio,
video, images, text etc.). Right now, I am trying to load a series
of flash files from the remote server - one by one - like a series
of ads.
The problem is that, the series of flash files loaded does
not display properly inside the main container file. I am using a
loader component in the main container flash file. All the flash
files loaded must play full screen. But some files do not play
fullscreen. It automatically shrinks to a smaller random size. This
behaviour does not repeat. It occurs randomly for any of the series
of files I am trying to load in the container flash.
When i tested the application on the desktop, it works fine.
But on the device, the loaded flash files shrink automatically. Can
someone explain why this is happening? Is this problem usually
associated with flash player on embedded devices?
I am stuck with this problem for a long time. I tired
different methods to get around it, but could not succeed. So I
would really appreciate it, if anyone can throw some light on this
issue and preferably provide a solution?
Thank you,
Jothishankar

I am using Flash Professional CS6.
It lets me edit all the symbols and bitmaps, and key frames.
However, it just publishes as a SWF a bit incorrectly.

Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

Hello all,
Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
Greetings
Erik-Jan Vriens

Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

Unable to vertical align flash file

I have previously posted this on the Dreamweaver forum, however, have not been able to obtain a response.
I have been attempting to align a flash file created with FC in the center of a web browser with CSS. The file is 800 x 600 px and I was hoping to centre the file using CSS.
I have created a Div Tag wrapper around the .swf and can get the file to center horizontally, however, the file will not move from the top of the browser.
I would prefer not to use tables, and would like to keep the file simple with CSS.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes it is a bit tricky to vertically align content. Take a look at this example that shows you how to setup your <div> containers.

Hope this works for you.

How can I make a flash user interface with buttons to open up and navigate other flash files?

Hello I would like to make a user interface that will serve as a tool to load and unload other flash materials like a slideshow. I would like to make a kind of slideshow with Flash that opens up other flash files which could be around 10-15 slides (frames) long each. I would want to ask if there is any way to make a link between navigation and other slides easily. And if there are ways, what action codes should I use for this. Thank you very much.

All you need to do is load a swf into the main swf and target it with whatever controls you intend. If you are using AS3 then you could use the Loader class to load the swf and then target the Loader.content with your control buttons.

Japanese font in a Flash file

is there anyway of outlining a font in a Flash??? My work around was to copy and paste between Flash and Illustrator replacing the Japanese text with vector elements, in order to meet the vendors spec's. There has to be an easier way of doing this......any ideas appreciated

I don't know, I always suppress the html output since the
html it generates isn't W3C-valid in any context I'm designing. I
use swfobject for my flash files -- thanks for the idea, though!
Does it enumerate all URLs that are embedded in a flash file's
actionscript? That seems like it can get rather data-heavy?

Importing Flash Files

Hello. I'm new to this forum. I tried getting answers on the Adobe Forums with no luck. I'm trying to get my Flash files saved as Quicktime movies so that I can move those to iMovie 8. Basically, I want to be able to put my animated clip into iMovie to go along with the rest of my main video. I've tried exporting my flash file as a quicktime movie file, but the quality is awful. The animation is laggy and I have a lot of static around the images. Could anyone help me, please? I'm also going to post this in the iMovie forum in case this is the wrong area. I have Flash CS4 and iMovie8. Thank you!

Box around my Flash

Here's my problem. I have a box appear around my Flash in
internet explorer, I know about the lawsuit between Microsoft and
Active X, and understand why it is there, and can even get rid of
it with a javascipt file. My problem is that whenever I get rid of
the box, I also get rid of my dhtml. Here is the page:
http://d14684333.r200.radiowebworks.com/info_farm.htm.
As you can see, my dhtml menu goes "OVER" the flash, but
because of that box, no links can be clicked until you click on the
flash. I am pulling my hair out here! How can I get rid of that box
and not get rid of my DHTML script? Please don't send me to the
Microsoft site because I read their info there and was totally
lost! Please advise. I am at my wits end! Also, by the way, I am
using Dreamweaver MX 2004. Thanks for all the help guys, I
appreciate it greatly!

Flash File (swf) in Powerpoint won't play after 1st time

Windows XP,
Powerpoint 2003
Captivate4
FlashPlayer 10
I've created a flash file using Captivate4 and successfully embedded it in a Powerpoint presentation using the controls toolbox.
It plays, but once I save and close the Powerpoint file then reopen, the swf file will no longer play - it is just a blank white flash player, with the player controls visible. I checked the properties and the link is still there. The control settings in properties are as follows:
Embedmovie: true
Loop: true
Menu: true
Movie: (has the link which worked the first time)
Playing: true
Anyone out there ever have a similar problem and resolved it?

After looking around on varous other forums this seems to be the issue:
There are a bunch of known bugs in flash 9 and 10, one of those being an issue with the Event.COMPLETE not being fired from the main stage when loading from cache when it's embedded WMODE = "transparent"
I'm not sure if that's your issue, but it's worth looking into. I've heard of a few workarounds to the problem. One of them being, not listening for for progress or complete events at all and just using a timed loop like ENTER_FRAME or TIMER to watch the bytesLoaded/bytesTotal."
My WMODE is window, but this sounds like it makes the most sense. I have attached the AS3 file. From viewing the flash it appears to freeze up where it should be going into swfProgressHandle, I think that's whats happening because the load bar doesn't increase in width at all and loadText doesn't even get set to anything, which happens in swfProgressHandle. This what also coincide with the above quote. Now the problem I have is that I didn't write the loading area of this flash, I only wrote part of the stuff inside the loading functions and also everything inside init, the person who helped me with this I haven't been able to make contact with and this site is supposed to go live very very soon. I am desparate for help! At this point I'd be willing to paypal some money over to anyone who could help me with this and get this working appropriately.

Flashing file icon w/ question mark at start up

My MacBook had been working fine on Tiger since I bought it last august, and a few months ago I installed Leopard, which also worked great except for safari freezing up every once in a while. But today when I tried to start it up and the blue screen appeared, it stayed like that for about ten seconds, and then a flashing file icon with a question mark appeared. I have no idea what it means, I can't make it startup. I've turned it on and off a few times, hoping for the best, but nothing. This computer is not even a year old, any help?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple boards:
Your first hint that something was wrong was when Safari started freezing.
You may have a bad HD or at least one that is going bad.
Boot into the Leopard DVD and in the menu select Utilities and disk utility and repair HD and permissions.
See if that helps.
You may need more powerful tools such as DiskWarrior to repair the drive if it's flaky.
If the computer is less than a year old, you may be able to get it fixed at a local Apple store.
