Detect audio in swf file?

Hello,
We are working with a software package that records the
user's screen and audio from their microphone and then saves the
recorded session (video + audio) to an swf file.
Unfortunately sometimes there are audio problems during
recording and when you play back the swf file you can see the video
but you don't hear any sound;.
Is there a way programatically to detect if the file contains
audio or not? Furthermore since all files are indeed intended to
have audio, is there a way to determine if the audio in the file is
something other than the sound of silence (i.e. some actual noise
or activity in the audio stream)?
Thank you

What's the name of the product? Who is the manufacture? Have you talked to them? I assume this product produces a swf but no fla. It sounds like either the product is defective or you're not using it right. I suppose there are several products that do that the only one that I know about is Captivate.
Captivate has a Forum here at Adobe. You could import the swf and talk to it but I'm still trying to figure that one out so I can't help you there.

Audio in .swf file will play on Mac, not on PC ...

here is another one i need help with.
I have a .swf file on the stage. when you press the space
bar, or press a button on the .swf, audio plays. This works
perfectly on a Mac. On a PC, the .swf file annimates as it is
supposed to, but there is no audio. When i open the .swf file in
internet explorer on a PC, it works as it is supposed to, so its
not a problem with my speakers or anything.
Thoughts? ... why would the audio in flash member play on a
Mac and not a PC? ... am I missing a setting somewhere?
thanks a million in advance!
And, in case it matters, this is being deloped with director
MX 2004, Mac 0S 10.5, PC running windows XP.

Please don't post the same question to as many forums as you
can find.

No audio from .swf files

When using Kutoka's EazySpeak French program, I get no audio at all. The animations are all .swf files, and I'm using 10.4.10 on a MacBook. Already upgraded to latest Flash 9 universal binary, and checked output in Audio Midi Setup - it's still 44100 and I don't use any other third-party program that has changed it. Any suggestions?

Hi pikepike
Welcome to macbook forum.
In addition to troy enn well said reply, here is link to shockwave player for it might be able to run properly on shockwave player, and the rest is mostly similar to troy enn just said:

Why does the audio in my .SWF file not play in a Browser?

I created an .swf file using ffmpeg, containing H.264 video and MP3 audio. The file plays perfectly in VLC but not in a Browser (Chrome/IE). I tried analyzing the file using a trial version of Flash decompiler. Again, only the video plays. The strange thing is that if I extract the MP3 from the file, it plays perfectly using any of th eplayers. It seems to be a muxing issue which VLC apparently handles, but not the player in the browser! Why? Thanks for any pointers.

Yeah. Sorry to say this but many people buy the various brands of format converters, which are everywhere on the Web and which also spam these boards – and often find they are not only out the purchase price but that the app created as many problems as it solved.

How can i detect if the picture or swf file is produced from legal flash?

I have recently bought images and swf files from a student for my website.
I've just realized that the images and swf might be from pirated flash product because i found out that
the original flash is really and i mean really pricey! I don't believe he bought an original product.
How do i detect if it is from a legal product? I'm worried as i'm going to put it in my website.
I can't get the guy who did this for me as he is in another country already.
If it is possible to detect this and it is indeed from pirated product, how can i make it legal again?
Please help.

Hey Rob,
Its the same question, just that i want to know if it is possible to trace the source if the file is an image.
If it is not possible to trace the source be it a swf or an image file, then i will just upload it to my website.
I wouldn't bother to check if it came from a pirated flash product.
The image is created from flash 8 just for me. It is not downloaded from another source.
Thanks.

After I create a flash swf file how do I edit the video and audio?

I created a nice flash animation, but it appears there are no video editing program which edit swf files.
Why would flash create a file that cannot be edited in video editing programs including their own premiere pro?
I have to get a program to convert the swf to an flv file and then I can use a video editing program?
I tried exporting it to an avi, but much of the functionality was lost. I am looking at a man standing there instead of
moving his lips while talking, for example. Am I missing something? Please advise. Thanks!

If you have an swf file then you don't have a video to edit. You can export to a limited number of video formats from Flash. In order to do that successfully, you need to prepare your file so that it will export as you want. This means that you will have to produce the entire file as a linear sequence using the timeline and with no interactivitiy. You can use a limited amount of Actionscript, but it is a very small subset of the available language. Your audio must be in the timeline.
Here is an Adobe help file for exporting to video: Flash Professional Help | Exporting Graphics and Videos

All .swf audio plays on slide 1 when published as swf file!

Help!
I am trying to publish a series of projects (seven) as swf files to upload to moodle for a CBT course. This is my first time ever using Captivate in this way and when I go to view the outputs using a web browser, all of the audio for the imbedded flash files in the project plays on top of each other on the first slide. They will also play as they are supposed to during the course, but it's very annoying.
When I publish the project as a standalone file, everything works flawlessly. What is causing this and how can I fix it? I must also state that I outsourced the flash work and know next to nothing about flash, so any help you give that might involve that piece, I will have to pass on to the flash developer.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
EDIT: Captivate 3.0.1 Not sure what version of Flash.

Was there ever a typing text object anywhere in your project that you delete at one time? I remember from Cp3 that when it would capture a typing text animation from a capture session, that you could never truly delete the object from the slide, only hide it (not sure if it's the same in Cp4, I recently jumped to Cp5).
When in doubt, I would do Insert > Blank Slide, then re-create the audio/objects from your current slide 1 and insert/paste onto the blank slide, then blow away the problematic slide 1, then republish and see if that helps!

Detect end of the .swf file from captivate

Hi,
I've a .swf file sent by our clients. They want to put that .swf file on the webpage. The .swf file is published from captivate.
Now they want to display a submit button on end of the .swf (video). I don't know how to detect end of the video.
Need help...!!!
Thank you,
Himadri

Welcome to our community
Within Captivate you are able to choose different actions to occur when the Captivate movie completes play. Of course if you don't have Captivate and the project file you are pretty much stuck with what you have. If you *DO* have access to the source, you would then configure the end action to be what you like. Perhaps execute some JavaScript, load a different page, etc.
If you don't have access to the source file, you may be better off asking whomever provided the SWF to you to make a small change to the end action. They would then compile a new SWF and provide that to you to use.
You just said a "Submit" button should appear after the video plays. What exactly is this button supposed to do?
Cheers... Rick

Share Pod + SWF file = No SWF Audio?

We have been planning on using a share pod to present
interactive SWF files. These SWFs have buttons that trigger sounds
to play. The participants and presenters alike can see the SWF,
click the buttons, but no sound plays. The audio is embedded as
part of the SWF, so it is not an issue of the SWF calling another
file to get the audio. If we use a share pod to present an FLV
movie, the audio works fine.
Does Connect Pro not pass audio from SWFs in a share pod?
I don't have Presenter, so I can't test this on a SWF
embedded in a Presenter PowerPoint.

Weird.
One important consideration about inserting custom animations
into Captivate is that any code in the animation needs to take into
account the multiple layers found in published Captivate files. An
additional layer is also introduced if you publish with Borders On
in the Skin menu. The code in the animation may be thrown off if
it's designed to work within a specific layer order.
Have you tried creating a brand new Captivate project and
inserting the animation there? If it works there but not in your
project, that would at least tell you it works at all.
Also, have you tried adjusting the start/end time of your
animation on the timeline? Sometimes it helps to have animations
start after a button has paused the slide, or after the other
elements on the slide have had a chance to fade in completely.
Beyond that, not being able to see a SWF sounds like a
security issue of some sort. What that issue might be... is a
mystery.

.swf files with imported video are just white slides with no audio.

Hello there,
I had been using Adobe Presenter 7 until recently and I have now upgraded to Presenter 10 for use within Powerpoint 2013. Unfortunately I am having quite a few issues with it.
I am using it to make presentations built up of imported video files, as I had been doing before with Presenter 7 without any issue. I typically have a presentation of 6 parts and import each video file ~80MB Mp4 into a single slide then name each slide adding a presenter and output it to an 'swf' file. This worked fine in Presenter 7.0.7. Now my issue is that the output will load the player it will have the correct presenter, and timings on the chaptered sidebar but when it plays the presentation area of the screen is just white, there's no audio, no video just the correct time for each section. I've checked the output folder the individual video files will play within windows media player without issue.
It should be noted that the html5 only version works fine, until uploaded to a web server and then it will not load any of the player with IE11 (I can't test it in other browsers).
I would appreciate some help with this if anyone has any ideas to fix this.
Many thanks

Well make sure you have read and write permissions on the file. Do a get info in the video (command-I) and alter it as necessary.

Can CDHtmlDialog play swf file with audio component?

Hello, I'm using CDHtmlDialog in our application to play swf that shows user how to do a workflow. It works fine if swf does NOT have audio; if the swf has audio component, then it does not play.
Can CDHtmlDialog play swf with audio?
If not, any suggestion on how to implement playing swf file with audio?
Many thanks in davance.

Hi PingHu,
How do you play the swf file in a html. I tried play a swf file with audio in my CDHtmlDialog class. I just use this:
Html code Play the SWF file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="200" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="D:\html directory\swf filename.swf" width="400" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>
</body>
</html>
Then my sample is able to play a SWF file with audio. Hope this helps some.

Shu Hu

Unable to play audio stream in a swf file

Making a swf file that reacts like a button: it plays sound
when you pass over it. Or should play. When the button keyframes
sound options are set to "start" or "event", there is no problem,
it works well. But it doesn't work if I set to "stream". My
original file is an mp3. Is there something special avout it? Help
tutorials didn't help me so far...

With "stream" you have to make sure there are enough frames
in the movie to play the whole sound file. Try adding some frames
and see if it plays then.

How to detect end of flash movie (SWF file) in Javascript

I have used Dreamweaver CS4 to integrate my SWF file as shown
below. So far so good. See GoToNext()
my website
What I wouldd like to do is have the SWF movie trigger a
javascript function in my html page when the video is stopped
playing (i.e. when it is finished) There are no controlls in that
SWF file - it is basically am add banner. I would think this would
be easiest done by rasinng an event in SWF that is communicated to
javascript, where I can add an event listener, and thus trigger my
function.
How can this be done in the simplest way?
<div id="bodyFlash"
class="clearfloat"><p> </p>
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="760"
height="150" id="FlashID" title="Chillifire Banner">
<param name="movie" value="flash/chillifire.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="flash/chillifire.swf" width="760" height="150">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
