no idea way that is happening but you can try the following
on the first frame of your movie put this code
_quality = "BEST";
if that fix the issue you have to consider that this code
will affect the performance of your movie on slow computers
an refering to the preloader i thinks is depends how you are
more confortable, scenes exist to help on organizing the main
timeline so ...

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.
Regards,
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.....

Images distorted on exported webpages

Anyone seen this? Some images exported from a 'Create Web Page' gallery appear distorted, like the jpg export from the RAW (NEF from D70s; RAW Converter 2.0) original has not resized correctly, so the resulting jpgs are stretched or squashed and only part of the image is exported. Displays OK in the Web Gallery, only affects the exported jpgs. Doesn't happen to all images, but does happen consistently to those affected. Affects both the 'large' image and its corresponding thumbnail.

I experienced this for the first time last night with several D200 NEF's. Some of them were very distorted when exported as jpg's. I couldn't get A2 to recreate this consistently though. I was exporting a series of pictures and I each time I'd re-export them, the results were different. I had just loaded the images into my Library and touched several of them up? After restarting A2 and trying again, everything seems to be working fine. I know for a fact it isn't preview re-lated in my case since I have all previews turned off. It could be a thumbnail issue maybe?

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?

Perfect audio in FCPX timeline, distorted after export to QuickTime mov

Anyone experiencing distorted audio with a QuickTime movie file exported from Final Cut Pro X? The audio sounds great in the timeline, but muffled and distorted after exporting it. Here's the kicker, I took that same file and opened it using QuickTime 7 and the audio is fine. I took that same file and converted it to a WMV file using Flip Player, and the audio is fine. So it would seem that the problem is the newest version of QuickTime (v10.4). If any of you have come to a similar conclusion, is there a way to remedy this? It's problematic because when I upload the file to YouTube, the distortion is present. Thanks in advance to everyone who can assist with this.
MY SYSTEM:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM
OSX Yosemite 10.10.2
FCPX v10.1.4
QuickTime v10.4

Hi Al,
Here are the steps I use to export:
From the File menu, I select 'Share' and select 'Master File'
In the pop-up dialog box I click on 'Settings' and select 'H264' as the CODEC
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player and the audio is distorted.
I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player 7 and the audio is fine
I convert the exported file to a WMV file using Pro version of Flip Player. The audio in the resulting file is fine.
I'm no expert but this would on the outset appear to be a problem with QuickTime v10.4. I can't seem to find a way to resolve this. Thank you for your assistance.
FYI - the audio file for the project is pulled in to FCPX as an mp3 directly from the iTunes library via the 'Music and Sound' browser.

Why do I have this voice distortion on export

Hello to akk, I am facing this problem while editing and exporting my current project: voice distortion. FYI, the present project has stretches of voiceovers interspersed with audio recorded by my Sony handycam. Even while editing the project on the timeline, I experienced, while adding effects to the audio, a voice distortion coming on and off. This voice distortion I experienced in both the voiceover and also the 'handycam-recorded' audio sections. I guess that while editing, I resorted to this method of getting rid of this distortion, stopping the play and starting again from a previous part of the project. This used to get rid of the distortion. While reviewing the project many times before export, the audio seemed to be fine. But after exporting [H 264 720p, 5 mbps, single pass], I have found this problem: the voiceover stretch is distorted whereas the 'handycam-recorded' audio is fine.
Is this distortion of the voice due to the effects I have added? The audio effect which I suspect to have caused this distortion [upon export] couls be 'STEREO SPREAD'. The other effect I have aded to the voiceover audio clips is: Voice Over Enhancement.
I shall move on and try to export after removing the 'stereo spread' effect and see what would happen. But untilsuch I time I would love to know from peers as to what has caused this problem. FYI, I have very little knowledge of the requirements of editing audio and I can say I am 'dabbling' with this matter. I have not had any distortion related audio problems when I was using the 8th version of FCPX.

Hello Russ and Peter,
Thanks for being helpful. I trust the following screenshots will help you to understand the matter:
FYI, this screenshot shows the position of the project after I have done the unchecking of the stereo spread effect for all the 3 [compound] audio clips immediately beneath the primary storyline. When I had made the first export, the stereo spread effect was checked in all the three clips.
The first clip which has been selected and whose information is presented in the inspector window is the 'introductory' voice over which is a compound clip of several voice overs done for that section. It is this compound clip having the voice overs that is having a voice distortion. Pertinently, there is no voice distortion when the clip is played on the timeline having both the 'voice over enhancement' and the 'stereo spread' effects checked. It is only in the exported movie that I get the distortion. You may hear this distortion by viewing the video which I have posted on You Tube. The link to this video is given at the end of this post.
The above screenshot shows the second compound clip being selected. This clip contains the audio fro my Sony Handycam. The effects which have been added to this clip can be seen in the inspector window. You can see that the stereo spread is unchecked, but, it was checked when I had made the first export. There is no voice distortion in this compound clip either on the timeline or in the exported movie.
The above screenshot shows the third compound clip selected. This clip has all the voiceovers of the ending message of this project. There is no voice distortion with this clip either on the time line or after export with the two effects checked.
The link to the video is :

Thanks in advance. Regards and take care!

Bounderies on SWF Export

Hey there,
I'm exporting a 3 MB SWF file, an animation movie, that I'd
like to put on YouTube, put on a website, yadda yadda. But I notice
that when I export, you can see beyond the borders of my stage and
see all the "work space" in the animation. How do you export so
that the viewer cannot see beyond the borders of your stage area?
Thanks.
Flash Gordon (hey it's my real name so gimme a break).

You can't.
All you can do is hide it (eg draw a BIG rect with a
stage-sized hole in it
and place that infront .. or try masking (but that slows
performance))
You can set different scale mode in your HTML for how it
responds to sizing,
so it always exactly fits, but then it will distort to fit
the window its
playing it.

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

I have created an flip catalog with majority of the product images converted into buttons and linked into web pages. 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.
