Dead hyperlinks when exporting indesign to swf file

I have a problem when I export a document to a swf. I have constructed ten boxes (features) with colour and text that link to pages. When I export to PDF they all work fine and dandy, but as soon as I try it as an SWF, with page turning, at least three of the hyperlinks stop. I have tried deleting and restarting and have even rebuilt the button. After that the hyperlinks have worked, but two or three of the others stop working. Is there a limit on the number of links per page?
Regards
David

Hi there, can you help me I can't get my hyperlinks to work when exporting a swf file. Do you know the code to get a button or a text to go to a webapge. I have used the get URL in the interactive menu and it doesn't work. I have then put in a get URL script which works but does point at the desired web page but into the route folder of my flip book. Any tips please Kind regards Ian

How to I make my animated vector images better quality when exporting to a SWF file?

I created an interactive PDF and SWF file. My animation only works on the SWF file, but the vector image is low res. On the PDF it doesn't animate (which I know,) but it's high res. However, the SWF file animated, but looks low res. Thoughts?

Changing text to an image should never be considered since there is no content for the SEO spiders and the images will slow your page download time to a crawl.
This page shows web safe fonts and also how you need to use hosted fonts if you want something different...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Fonts-Colors.html
The above method uses an HTML snippet and, since this is fairly cumbersome, is only suitable for adding features like special headings. It does allow you to add text shadow using CSS rather than all these wasteful PNG images.
To use hosted fonts on a whole site you would need to add CSS styles in the head of the HTML doc for every page of your site. But its not low tech and, if you could do this, you wouldn't be using iWeb!

How to create a hyperlink when exporting .pdf?

Hi guys,
I've been doing quite a bit of research on how to make an object into a hyperlink when exporting my .ai as .pdf.
So far I've come across guides that show the method of using Object > Slice and the Attributes' Image Map, but none of them seem to work when I open my exported .pdf.
How do you guys create objects with links when exporting .pdf?
Thanks in advance.

InDesign, most probably.
Or create the PDF in Illustrator and use Acrobat (Pro) afterwards to make links.
Depends on what's inside the document.

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
Hi,
I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?

The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?Would you be kind enough to help?

Hello,
Usually pink\purple background appears when "Show Grid Overlay" is enabled.
please go to View > Hide Grid Overlay and see if it works.
I am not sure if it will fix the problem as you said that pink\purple background appears when you place a swf file only.
If this do not fix the problem I would request you to share the screenshot of the design mode for better idea of the problem.

Firefox 3.6 when I open a SWF file, a wrong mouse click, it show a recursive open window until the PC resource is used up or the system hang up, I try to reinstall firefox but not solved.

Windows XP SP3, flash player 10.2, Shockwave 11.5.9.240 , when I open a SWF file with firefox 3.6.15, it shows some options to choose action and I made a wrong click. The firefox nightmare is a "open recursive windows" until the system hang. When I use Internet Explorer 8 to open it, it is fine, Try to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but in vain, how can I restore it?

You don't have the Shockwave Flash Player installed for Firefox. You may have the ActiveX version installed for IE, but Firefox needs the Plugin version. And Shockwave 11.5.9.240 that is installed for Firefox isn't the same thing.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
''Or maybe get the previous '''r102''' version from here. IMO, there's problems with the latest version of Flash.'' 
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Are you using the Standalone Flash Player 11.9 Projector?

I keep getting this error when I publish the SWF file.

This is the only action script 3.0 script that I wrote.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
skipbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
function btnClick (event:MouseEvent):void{
skipbtn.gotoAndPlay("home");

the first line is a warning, not an error.
and you have more actionscript than you think. open the movie explorer panel and toggle the actionscript only button to find all the actionsript in your fla.

Would there be any reason for a hotspot created in InDesign to change size when exported as a SWF?

Hello
I've got a 280-page InDesign (CS5) document with invisible buttons/ hotspots throughout which I want to export as a SWF.
Once exported, the buttons/ hotspots appear to be sized/ positioned correctly on the first dozen or so pages. Afterwards, the hotspots are consistently sized and positioned incorrectly over the buttons; so that if you were to try and click on the button, you wouldn't actually be clicking on the hotspot at all.
Things I've tried so far:
Exporting the pages in smaller batches, rather than as a single 280-page file
Export the SWF at different sizes
Checking that the hotspost don't have any blank areas inside their boxes (in the same way you can move an image inside a picture box and have blank areas)
I've hit a wall with this – any help/ suggestions you're able to offer would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks, but I have searched here but have not found or heard a direct answer to my question as stated above...

Relative Hyperlinks when Exporting to PDF

I am working on a number of InDesign pages that hyperlink out to various other supporting files, which I've saved all within the same folder as the PDF exports of the InDesign files.
When I use the Path button to browse to the file I want to target, it inserts an "absolute" link to that file. Since this whole folder of inter-connected documents must be portable, I want to use "relative" linking syntax. I tried just typing in the "filename.doc" and file://filename.doc but, with no success.
Thanks for any clues on this.
-Tony

I create InDesign files all the time that require relative links. InDesign hyperlinking does not support that directly.
I use a third party program called "Filezilla" (free from downloads.com) to upload the supporting documents and then to copy the relative links. At least this way (copy/paste) I can ensure I have the correct path out to the link.
I then paste the link into the proper hyperlink dialogue box.
PDF, and away we go.

Flash will not export a whole SWF file

I've been having this problem for weeks now. Basically my flash projects were running fine for about a month or two, until recently they have stopped compiling a full SWF file either in test movie or publish. The thing is this: I can test every scene and each scene compiles correctly into its own SWF, but when i compile the whole movie it will simply give me the loading bar, loads all the way, then disappears (no exported swf, nothing at all). I searched extensively on the problem, I saw someone saying that some scenes might just be conflicting with other scenes upon compiling the swf. Others mentioned I might have had a movie clip error, where I may have used a movie clip instance name more than once, thus giving flash a problem upon compiling. I think the problem is neither of these two, the reason being:
- I deleted my whole library, wouldnt export an swf.
- I deleted some scenes, won't export (unless I leave only one scene left - and no the problem is not that one scene, because I tried deleting it first, then compiling it and no luck)
- I have a save file that DOES compile and another save file that DOESN'T compile, the difference being is that the latter has a few frames (10-20 frames) of color that the other doesn't. As soon as I paste the color layer in the original save that does compile, it won't compile anymore (I saved those color frames in a seperate flash file just to transfer them).
I had this problem once before, however I solved it by deleting a few scenes, and exporting it to cs4, then back to cs5.5 and pasting the missing frames from another source. This method seems to not work anymore. Could it be the file size? it is coming close to 200 mb as a cs5, and 250 as a cs4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

INDESIGN CS5 .SWF files to large

So, I thought with Indesign CS5 it would be a great idea to do a website with full idesign. This was working great until I realized that as i exported to a .SWF it was 49.9mb. Now i know that this is a large website (almost 70+) pages long. But is there any advice anyone can give me to shrink the file size or was it a bad idea to begin a website in INdesign right now. I know that using flash and .css and all that is the traditional way of doing a website but at the same time I don't like messing with all that code and thought this would be a great way to build a website.
ANY help would be great because i can't afford to have a 3 and a half minute download time on a website.
Thanks,
Justin

I think I may have responded to this in the community help section, but I'll repeat what I said there. InDesign has some impressive Flash capabilities but using it to create an entire website....no, not a good idea at all.
The size of the SWF files is a major issue and they are quite simply not suitable for this purpose. Additionally, an entire website in Flash is an SEO nightmare so it won't matter how long it takes to load since nobody is likely to find it.
Flash should be used judiciously on the web. In fact, I never use it. All that said, the only advice I can offer if you decide to ignore the rest of it, is to export to FLA, open it in Flash Professional and finish it up there.

OBIEE 11g - issue when export to a csv file

Hello,
I have an issue when I try to export to a csv file a report having numeric feild, when I export and open the file in notepad the trailing zeros to the right of decimal points do not show up. When export to another formats (such as excel, pdf) the trailing zeros appears correctly. e..g, 100.00 appears as 100, 100.50 appears as 100.5.
Do you know what can be done in order to have trailing zeros to the right of decimal points to appear in a csv?
Thanks

Bug: Can't view photos in a slide when Exporting to PDF viewing files on XP

Hi,
I'm completely new to the discussion forum.
So hope this hasn't been covered, but the bug is there none the less.
When Exporting a Keynote 09 slide or slides that use some of the
new Layout themes(Kyoto style etc), nothing shows up when the
PDF is opened on Windows XP machines.
I have tried it on several machines at work and at schools,
and cant get photos or text to show up.
This never happened in 08, as i often have to use PDF to do presentations
at schools that dont have powerpoint no their pcs. PDF exporting
is really important in my daily work with keynote.
I really hope there is a fix or that Apple can release a fix
for this bug, as I would love to use the new layout themes
in presenting.
Strangely older themes have no problem opening and show all text and
photos as they should when exported using keynote 09 to pdf...
so i assume its an issue with the newer themes only ;(
wierd.. (cries)
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me here. Apple!!! I luv you
but this issue is annoying the heck out of me.
D

Wow, thank you so much for quick replies!
Ok ill try and explain more.
1) I used to the Export feature (now I used SHARE > Export > choose PDF > save to desktop... view it.. its all good)
2) I then save the file onto a flash drive and put in a XP OS run PC
3) The slide background only shows up.. i.e. no content just the template itself
4) This only happens to the newer templates.
5) This happens when dragging a picture into the preset template picture boxes,
the picture just doesnt show up on the pc
6) havent checked file sizes, because i could do this process on keynote 08.. so i assumed its a BUG and not the fault of mine
7) Most importantly, i can do the same process and it works with the keynote 08
backgrounds and themes within 09.. but i cant get my PDFs on an XP to show when using the newer themes... just shows blank themes.. even for Kyoto theme, the tea pot picture isnt there.. its just the background
i am thinking of taking my mac into a mac store,
but im almost certain this is a bug.
to view the PDF on both my macbook and on XP i just double click
whats on the desktop and it usually shows.. but since buying 09,
as i said before, i can only get this to work for slides that use
the old 2008 keynote templates ;( ;(
i have not tried exporting using the print feature.. i will give that a shot today. but its so wierd that it shows up for some templates and not for others.
thanks again for your kind help. i really appreciate the time and effort
you are all putting in in helping.
