Direct link to swf file in IE

I have a setup where i am trying to make a hyperlink on a page that is to a youtube swf video load in an iframe on the same page. It is working successfully in firefox, but in IE it just gives an option to download the file and doesn't load it in the iframe.....i am wondering if there is any quick fix to this...or is there a way to make it where the hyperlink i have on the page, instead of going directly to the swf file, loads the embed code that is listed on youtube in the iframe...basically can you hyperlink to a youtube embed code

Post a link to the page so we can see it.

Link between swf files.

Hello. I need to find a way to link multiple .swf files, so I may have a menu and after clicking a button go from there to any swf file and back. But i need something that works in AS 2 and 3 because my files are in both ActionScripts. It shouldn't be a problem, right? Ive been looking for and trying different things but i can't do it.
Hope someone can help
Thanks.

Also I have this code that works in AS3 but only for one button, when I try to make another one flash marks error. I cant link another button with another file.
var loadedSWF:Loader = null;
* Loads an SWF and adds it to container once complete
* @param file The URL to the SWF to load
* @param container The container to add the SWF to
function loadSWF(file:String, container:MovieClip=null):void
    if(container == null) container = MovieClip(root);
    // removes the previously loaded SWF
    if(loadedSWF != null)
        if(loadedSWF.parent) loadedSWF.parent.removeChild(loadedSWF);
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file);
    loadedSWF = new Loader();
    loadedSWF.load(req);
    addChild(loadedSWF);
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _click);
function _click(e:MouseEvent):void
    loadSWF("myfile1.swf");

Linking to SWF file

Hello,
I have no problem linking movies together, but is there any
way to make it so that when I link to a movie it opens the SWF file
instead of the HTML file?
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

You are welcome. Nothing wrong with your boss wanting to
operate the LMS from SWF LOs embedded in HTML documents. But the
boss's decision to serve the SWF from a container not intended nor
constructed for it, is, er, um, uh, less than the wisest possible
choice that might be made.
You know the problem and I've given you the solution. If your
boss is basing his or her decision on knowledge I am missing, ask
him or her to drop me a line and explain ... my email address is in
my profile at left, and all the boss has to do is include a link to
this thread in the body of the email.
I can't help beyond that, and wouldn't bother anyway, knowing
ahead of time that your boss will direct you to ignore any advice
other than his or her own anyway. Shucks, I don't think I'd want to
take advice from a guy like me, either! Have a great day, in any
case!

Problem with link in SWF file

good day to you all in this great forum
my name is james and i want to see if i can find help here in the forum for my problem.
I'm building a site for my friend. (the site is in hebrew so sorry....)
for the site building I'm using the software iweb - on mac.
the site is almost complete but i have 1 big problem.
this is the link to the site - [URL="http://www.skip-up.com"]skip-up[/URL]
I'm using a head menu in flash
i have this flash from some template i downloaded from the internet and all i had to do is change the buttons names and to change the links of the buttons to point to my html pages.
and now to the problem :
to get to the problem in general - the flash head links don't work
if i press it in the site on godaddy nothing happens i just don't see the flash head and instead i dee a page that says something like "the page can not be found"
if i go to my desktop to my site directory and press the links the only thing that happened is that the button is changing the color like I'm in the right page but I'm still in the original page.
and the strange thing is that by if i only open up the SWF file and press the links are working
and it's open up my browser and to the right page
1. you can see the structure of the site here in this page :
[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/3962332346_432d004df2.jpg[/IMG]
what i have is the master index.html and 2 directories : - the first one
called flash and have 1 flash file (this file is o.k with no problem)
and the other directory had all my site files
2. like i said i got the original FLA file and all i did is changing the buttons
names and changing the links of the buttons
the links i changed in the actions menu - i just searched for the original
url and change the names to much my website html pages names
3. here is the original FLA actions menu - you can see that I'm standing on
one of the links :
[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3483/3961893129_2b8fc4ecd9.jpg[/IMG]
and here is my fla after the changes - as you can see i just changed the
name:
[IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2544/3962668872_8693f399ba.jpg[/IMG]
4. i uploaded all my site (it's small zip file) if someone wants to see more
i tried to describe everything in details because it's very important for
me to find a solution [URL="http://rapidshare.com/files/286059228/skipupsite.zip.html"]skip-up site download[/URL]
I'm really hopping there's somebody that will be kind to help me out
thank you very much

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.
at KZFlash_fla::Sound_2/KZFlash_fla::frame1()
Hope that helps.

Linking between SWF files

I need to general advice while protyping my website. I'm
creating separate somewhat large swf files for each page of my
website. Therefore, each will need its own html file if I don't
want it take 3 years to go between pages. I'm confused how to link
between the each page using a button in flash. Is this an action
script thing? My links will be static text buttons. Thanks.

Thanks. I think I get it, but I want to be sure. I think I
need to be a little clearer:
One SWF file inserted as my entire index.html page. Right now
I have a static text button in the SWF file home page that says
"About Us". I'm designing a new page that will also be its own SWF
file for "About Us". I have a new www.xxxxx.com/aboutus.html page
that I plan to put the file in when finished. In the text button on
the homepage, do I use AS3 URLRequest("
http://www.xxxxxxx.com/aboutus.html")
to navigate. Thanks.

Linking from SWF files to web pages

Hi
I'm using the latest Flash CS3.
Basically, I want to link from the SWF file to a webpage.
Here's what I've done so far.
Created the FLA file, imported the quicktime movie into it
etc etc.
I've then added a behaviour by clicking on the inserted
movie, then BEHAVIORS >WEB> GO TO WEB PAGE> and filled in
all the relevant text for the link.
Then I have saved the file. Then I have published then OK.
I have embeded the SWF file in a web page, but when I click
on the movie, it shows there's a link, but it won't link to the
webpage.
What am I doing wrong? I dont understand.
Can't get my head around this!
When I go to the FLA file, then publish preview > flash,
and the movie appears on its own, the link works... but the SWF
file doesn't.
Basically what do I need to do to make it work.
The coding I am using in my web-page is:
<p align="center"><center>
<object width="165" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="
http://homovision.media7london.com/wordpress/Newcontribute.swf"
/>
<embed src="
http://homovision.media7london.com/wordpress/Newcontribute.swf"
width="165" height="100" />
</object>
</p></center>
The movie plays, the "link hand" appears above it, but when
it is clicked nothign happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Simon

Did you inport to the stage and put a stop (action script) on
the frame?

Linking a SWF file after its been created

I have a client that sent me a SWF file that they want to
display on one of our sites.
The SWF did not include an embedded link.... is there a way
to add a link betweent the <object> </object>
reference?
I can not import the file into flash and add it myself to the
AS becuase of the unique fonts used in the banner.
Please help with this if you can. Much appreciated...

The user is a Change Manager and is definitely a member of the Security role. I thought it was just a SM thing where after you create the CR, you can't go back and change the approver list. That is what this user is trying to do I think. Go into an existing
CR that was created and update the approver list.

Button to b clicked and large image shown on the stage(link to swf file here)

I have a button when clicked is supposed to show a larger image of the button/ I am new to the code and think if I could see and example it would help. This is a school project. I am failing as of now.
how do I upload my files to here so I can show http://threadcontent.next.ecollege.com/(NEXT(54b34a37e8))/Main/CourseMode/Thread/DownloadA ttachment.ed?virtualFileId=961613945&GoldenTicketParams=_u=8538800;_dt=634657009144447173; virtualFileIDs=956864518,956864621,956864990,960296914,960355361,960465721,960465764,96037 9092,961379343,960908613,961013978,961014291,961613945,961035853,961618981,961042519,96144 4490,961569920,961629398,961629452;&GoldenTicketSignature=35-AA-34-CE-10-A6-FD-4F-D1-DD-73 -4C-A9-EF-8D-9D-63-E5-87-88-FB-D4-4D-15-06-BB-82-8A-9E-F2-36-DC
I believe this is the download link to the swf I have you can see the buttons click and sound and over and when pressed they are supposed to show the larger image of the buttons original image that you see before you hover

stop();
trail_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
trail);
function trail(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(10);
and the link I gave is the download link from my class at AI Online its perfectly fine

How can I prevent Podcast Maker from showing direct link to media files?

I'm brand-new to podcasting and to Podcast Maker for Mac, but I finally created a podcast (after 3 hours of trying to figure out how to get the thing to upload to the correct sub-directory).
My question is: When I look at my feed in Firefox, I see so-called 'media links' to all my original mp3's, as well as the links I specified to the web pages where the mp3's are embedded inside my site content.
Is there anyway to keep those media links from showing up in the feed? If people access my mp3's directly without visiting my website, it defeats the whole purpose for me creating the podcast in the first place.
Thanks for any help!
Brian

I think I may have to look into a redirect line in my htaccess file so that direct loads of my mp3's route through my website page.
If you do this you may find iTunes won't read the files, so I should test carefully on one file first if possible.

Continued/ linking .swf file to Dreamweaver

Hi ,
All I need is to link my swf file to a link in my HTML page,
the swf file has its own control buttons created in Captivate that
I need them to be shown in the swf file ratherthan new ones! and I
need all this to be shown as a smaller window in the middle of the
screen where the user can maximise and minimise the way he wants?
so
I have linked my link to HTML ( which is called Harmony.htm)
file atht has the published .swf file in it but I have these
problems:-
1- Once I click on the link the new HTML page is opened but
with this warning:
" Adobe Flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe
operation, the following local application on your computer or
network :
C:\..........\ Harmony_skin.swf is trying to communicate
withthis internet enabled location
c:\.......\Harmony.htm
to let this press ok ..."
I don't want this warning to appear for my users? how to get
rid of it ? or it is normal to have it on the internet I don't
know?
2- the Harmony_skin.swf is the actual movie I have implement
in Captivate which has the control buttons and the colsed
captioning in the middle bottom of the window which I want them to
appear, but when I publish it with the html file (Harmony.html)
they don't appear and for other swf files they appear slightly how
to make them appear? does thim mean I have to control the position
of the swf file in the HTML file ? how to do that?
3- I have seen this link sent to me by steve
http://javascript.about.com/library/blpopup10.htm
But I was not able to understand very well o to do that, I
mean how to control the position of the html window as I am very
new to HTMl and I am not very well practised can you help me in
that pleas?
Attached is my code and when you see the comment  it is the link I am talking about.
Appreciate your help

So you want your custom HTML page to open the Captivate movie
in a new window that's centered with the normal browser buttons?
If so, the "centered" part is a bit tricky. There's no way to
determine the exact height of the screen since the browser does not
know how the user's Windows Taskbar is displaying (hidden, one row
high, two rows high, etc). I always take an arbitrary 64 pixels off
the height just in case it's set to 2 rows high.
A suggestion would be to start with the example shown at
bottom, using the following as a reference for what each parameter
in the window.open() method does:
window.open()
Reference at MSDN
Also, you should NOT use spaces in any of your file and
folder names... that can be a problem in some cases.
Cheers,
John

What is needed to view a SWF file on the web?

Do users just need a version of FlashPlayer?

If you are placing it in a web page, then you normally have to use special embedding code to have it display. I don't know if Illustrator provides the necessary code, but if you have Flash, it can generate the code that code in the web page. Dreamweaver can also do it, though I find it less reliable in doing so. Otherwise, if you link directly to the swf file it should open in a browser window and fill up the window.

SWF File not working after upload to server, but works on local system

HELP PLEASE.....I have created a Fla and exported a swf file
from Flash 8 and Export (Flash 6). I can preview the page in
Dreamweaver just fine, but when i upload it and the html file, it
isn't showing up. It leaves a blank spot on the page. It is just a
simple banner with graphic clips and motion tween text, with image
bgd. All images are jpg.
I have tried:
1. Using a full link to the swf file.
2. Removed drop-shodows in swf file
3. convert to Flash mx 2004 file
4. Exported to higher Flash version to see if the flash
player was an issue.
5. Exported with no dashes in name
6. Added Scr file into Dreamweaver
7. Made a new test file to see if it was something in the
current html doc, same result.
8. Tried viewing on a pc, same result. Created on mac.
Here is the test page if anyone wants to take a look.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
Test
Page Link

The link you provided is to the SWF file, not to an HTML
file, so no one can test your HTML file.
Have you checked the code for the embedding of the SWF file
in your HTML file? I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I do know that
if you start assembling a Dreamweaver file without first saving the
HTML, embedded graphics and other items are inserted as direct
links to the files on your computer, rather than as relative paths.
There is one other possible issue: I note that your swf is
called CWABanner.swf. Depending on your FTP settings, it is
possible that your server is forcing all file names to lower case
(a common practice). Which means the file on your server will be
cwabanner.swf. Again, depending on how the web server is set up, if
it is case sensitive, it will treat CWABanner and cwabanner as
separate files. So if the HTML calls CWABanner.swf, but the FTP
upload has forced a rename to lower case to cwabanner.swf, the HTML
file will not find it. Check this out, or to be absolutely certain,
rename everything to lower case: the file name itself and the
reference in the HTML file.

What is a 'SWF' file

Hi all :)
Ok! RSS is an abbreviation for
Really Simple Syndication...... or
Rich Site Summary? And
JavaScript is not a sub-language of
Java.
So could someone please tell me what the
SWF abbreviation stands for, StandAlone Wrapper File or
Shock wave File.

First direct link in google search causes "Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading"

I've disabled both the Adobe Reader Add-on and the Adobe PDF Link Helper to force IE 8 to open PDF's outside of the browser i.e in the stand alone reader application.
After doing this I did some testing, a google search for "test pdf" produces numerous direct links to pdf files. If i click any of them it causes IE to display the message bar "Internet Explorer blocked this from downloading files to your computer, click her for options.." When I click on the message bar, it appears to download the file , then nothing happens. Next time I click the link it opens in the stand alone reader just fine and so do all PDF files, until the browser is restarted or a new tab is started.
This only seems to happen in IE8. IE9 doesn't have the problem.
If I open a web page that has a link to a PDF that always work.
Help? I can't roll this out to prod. Users will get very confused...

You actually trashed the whole Internet Preferences Folder including all your preferences still in there?
Actually, you were suppose to just trash the Internet Preference file/document which is inside the folder.
See if updating to the latest & last version of IE for Mac will help.
Internet Explorer (Classic) 5.1.7
Internet Explorer 5.1.7
Internet Explorer v5.1.7
"WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
Or, you can try the following w/your older version of IE:
Once a week Go into the system folder>preferences folder & trash the following preferences:
finder
ASLM
PPC Registration Database
Cache.waf-found inside the MS Internet Cache folder
MRJ Cache folder-a new one will be recreated.(If not found go to System folder>Application Support>MRJ Cache folder-trash all you find inside-(DO NOT TRASH THIS FOLDER)
Download Cache-found inside Explorer Folder
Downloads.html-found inside Explorer Folder
History.html-found inside Explorer Folder
Rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop - may delete Finder comments to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
Restart to turn the extensions back on again & empty the trash.
Good luck!
