Dreamweaver / Flash CS3 Host Server problem

I've created my flash inserted it into dreamweaver, previewed it and uploaded the pages and the JS files to my host server again and again and it everything shows up but the flash, nothing, not even a box. Any ideas on what the problem could be? They show up in the root directory on the server. the file I used was the SWF. file. Is there another way to do this?
I've tried moving the js. script around (someone said put it inside a file named "script". that didn't work either.

Hi,
I suggest posting this question in the "Dreamweaver General Discussion" forums, as it´s not related to the Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox
(ADDT) extension.

Adobe Flash CS3 detected a problem and has to be closed.

Hello,
I'm using Flash CS3 for a month, but the problem is that
since a week ago, flash CS3 stops working after 5 minutes of use.
So today I've downloaded the test version (30 days) in
another PC, but even with this other computer the software doesn't
works and has to be closed.
So that's not because of my computer. It's a more general
problem.
Did it happened to one of you? DO you know if flash CS3
doesn't work for everyone right now?
Do you know how to repair this kind of problem? I'm very
desperate and I really need to use flash. I don't know what to do.
Thank you very much

There could be any number of items causing this. First off is do you have an active internet connection? If so have you tried rebooting you computer?

Flash CS3 - Odd button problem

Hello, Ive upgraded to Flash CS3 and I'm having a problem
with buttons.
When I open up my site, the old buttons work fine to navigate
the site and open up URL links. I have the actions on their own
layer instead of having an onRelease on each button.
However, when I create new buttons, they don't work.
I've even tried copying the existing working buttons,
applying the exact same actionscript to figure out what's going on,
but that also doesn't work, those buttons won't open up the URLs.
Am I perhaps using the wrong publish settings/flash player
choice?
Thanks

The answer is "skins" just search under "Creating skins for
some instances" in the Flash CS3 help file.

Flash CS3 timeline display problems

I have just upgraded to Flash CS3 and immediately noticed a
problem when viewing and working with the Timeline window. When I
click on a frame (keyframe or other) it highlights that frame
completely white, which means I can no longer tell what type of
frame it is. The same happens if I highlight a series of frames,
they are all white and hard to interact with. If I highlight a
series of frames and attempt to Right-Click, I can rarely get a
sub-menu to show for quick options like 'Remove Frames' and 'Create
Motion Tween'. Most of the time my Right-Click is ignored
completely (ie nothing happens).
I have searched Google, Flashkit and Adobe site for help with
this, but no love. Has anyone else experienced this problem? The
rest of my CS3 install is working perfectly.
Computer: 20" iMac Intel 2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2Gb RAM, 250Gb
HDD (~100Gb Free)
OS: Mac OS X 10.4.9
Version: Adobe Flash CS3 Version 9.0

Flash CS3 Strange IDE Problem

Hi --
I am having a totally bizarre issue with the Flash CS3 IDE in
that my
"Output" window is always blank. This just started happening
to me today. I
have tried creating a new Flash movie and putting in a single
line of
Actionscript:
trace("Hi")
When I run the movie the Output window pops up but its blank.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rich

Hi --
It was the "filter level" setting. I changed it from "none"
to "verbose" and
all is good. I never even knew that setting existed so I have
no idea how I
changed it! Thank you so much.

Flash Media Encoder - server problem

Hi guys,
I tried to use FMS and FME to broadcast my webcam video, but
I got the error message:
Server Problem
Failure to connect to primary server. Please verify that your
Server URL is vaild and your internet connection is working and
retry.
I already done these steps:
1. install FMS and change the path to
<AppDir>C:\apps</AppDir>
2. install FME and set the FMS URL to rtmp://localhost/apps,
Stream: stream
But while I click Connect button, it took almost 5 mins and
then showed up the message above.
Did I missed something?
Could anyone help me out? thanks!!!!

You got your FMS application folders mixed up. You haven't
created a FMS "application", you've only told FMS to look in
C:\apps for a folder called apps.
Try to create a subfolder under C:\apps called "apps". I.e.,
create this: c:\apps\apps and then your rtmp string should
work.

Dreamweaver & Flash CS3 won't start

I have Dreamweaver and Flash in CS3 Design Premium. All other
apps seem to work, but DW and Flash only launched once or twice
after I first installed the suite. Now virtually nothing happens
when I try to launch them -- barely a flash on the hard drive
light. I have XP professional. I tried the method described in a
previous thread (an Adobe Tech Note) of deleting the config folder
to force DW to create a new one -- I did not work. Can anyone
help?

Never seen such an error, but if it's in the status bar of the browser then it shouldn't be Flash problem. You can check what's happening in your swf by creating a dynamic text field and setting it's text in every major action, that is: requesting PHP and getting back response, to what's just happened.
So, on the Flash side you can see whether the browser error stops the PHP script and immobilizes further actions.
What I'd do is create a new Flash file and PHP file and just send 1 variable to PHP, change it somehow and send it back to Flash and print it in a text field. That way you can check whether it's the method you're using to request PHP or just PHP or something else. Step by step adding complexity and checking on which of these steps the error occurs.
I wish you good luck.
Ps. It's probably a very rookie problem, we just don't know the source.

Flash CS3 and Filter problem

Ok. So I have a file that was originally created with Flash
8. The file was opened in Flash 9 and published. The problem is
that the text that I have in there is being cut off when published
(publish preview only, The full publish works fine so far). I've
narrowed it down to being a problem with the filters that are used.
I'm using a basic drop shadow on the static text.
More specifically, when I publish using Flash 7, filters are
not supported and they are dropped out and the entire word shows.
When I publish in Flash 8 or 9 with filters turned on, the words
are cut off. For example the word "connection", when a filter is
applied, all that publishes is "connecti". The o and n are gone.
And if I change the settings on that drop shadow filter, the word
is cut off in a different place than before, sometimes cutting a
letter in half. When I delete the filter and publish in 8 or 9, the
entire word shows again. Also, I can edit the blurX or Y, or the
strength or distance and it will sometimes show the entire word.
But when I do this to other words, it creates a problem on those
words. If I then go and edit the settings back or to different
numbers, cutoff happens once again.
This is very inconsistent and makes working with filters
difficult since I can't preview what I've done without doing a full
publish. I've converted the words to movie clips and so far have
not had the same problem, however, I don't want to add movie clips.
So this basically looks like a glitch with this new version of
Flash. I sure hope that someone at Adobe sees this post and might
look into the problem.
I'm on an Intel based MacBook Pro. If anyone has run into
this problem, please let me know if you have found there to be a
solution rather than a work around. Thanks to Anyone who can help.
And once again, this only appears to be a problem when I do a
publish preview, not a full publish.
Tobin

Thanks; thats helpful.
What's going on is that the filter is being reused for your
text instances.
Flash does automatic associations between frames to see where
some objects
should be instances of or related to the objects in the frame
before it. In
your case, since each of your frames have a single static
text field in the
same depth (one spot above the jump in button), and since
they all use the
same drop shadow filter with the same settings, Flash will
reuse that exact
same filter for each of the objects in consecutive frames at
those depths
assuming they are the same object. What this amounts to is
the bounding box
for the first text+filter combination being used for all
others. You can
see this more clearly if you move the "Love" text to be at
the beginning of
the sequence and then test your movie.
What can you do? Here are a few options (though only a few
may work in your
situation):
- include one frame between each text field
- on every other text field, modify a property of the filter,
either
adjusting the strength by a value of 1, changing the quality,
or something
not visible but enough to make Flash recognize it as a
different filter
- in a layer under every other textfield place an invisible
object. This
should force every other text field to be at a higher depth
thereby
preventing Flash from assuming they are the same object as
the one before
it.
- place each text field in a movie clip thereby separating
the filters from
the same timeline (or, technically, just every other text
field would be
necessary)
- change your text to dynamic text. These will be treated as
separate
instances (or at least Flash will be wise enough not to be so
static in its
application of the filter). You may need to be sure to embed
your fonts for
anti-aliasing
In the mean time I will officially log a bug. Though Flash is
"technically"
doing what it thinks is best, its not working out very well
for this case.

Flash CS3/CS4 Sound Problem

Hi,
I am trying to create a soundboard and I have all my buttons and stuff, the only thing left is to put the sound files in. However, I have tried adding them to the library and dragging and dropping them over the HIT option like I usually do, but when I export the swf file, the sound file sounds terrible, it crackles and sometimes stutters a bit. I have tried setting these sound files to mp3 and raw in adobe options but with no luck. I am using actionscript 2.0 if that has anything to do with it. Also, I need these files embedded, not just linked. Please let me know any suggestions you might have.
Thanks.

In the Export Settings dialog, go to the Flash tab and look at the Images and Sounds section. Check the Audio Stream and Audio Event settings. It's a common occurrence for the sound to be set to a low data rate and monophonic. If so, click both of the Set buttons and adjust the compression, bit rate and quality settings.

Can't do Publish/Publish Setting a movie in Flash CS3

I installed Flash CS3 while still keeping Flash 8. When I try
to publish/publish setting a movie, an alert pops up saying 'No
valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation'.
Probably there was a conflict so I uninstalled both Flash
CS3, Flash 8 then installed Flash CS3 but the problem still comes
up. What is that?
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
First of all, thx for the answer.
The publish location is fine; it publishes to the same place,
like b4 the problem. Nice thought though.
What kind of problem could it have? And can it be fixed?
I've tried to rename it. Nothing.
It's a template that I've bought and I have the source file
in a ZIP, so every time it happens, after i've done some changes, I
copy them one by one, and then I publish it again and I'ts fine.
I'm sick of doing it...
What it be possible for you to check the file?
Thx,

How to update Flash CS3 Pro...

ok here is my situation
i recently set-up a new machine and just installed Flash CS3
Pro (and FMS 3.0.1.111). It had Flash Player 1.0.115.0 so i
download the update APSB08-11 to install Flash Player 1.0.124.0.
The zip file contained a folder with the Players and following the
instructions i just copied the folder in the installation folder of
Flash CS3.
The problem is that when i test a movie in Flash CS3 Pro and
do some traces in the FMS3 Admin Console i get that Agent is
1.0.115.0.
Any ideas how to successfully update the Flash Player for
Flash CS3 Professional to 9.0.124?
I have to mention that
1. for IE7 ActiveX and Mozilla Plug-in i have Flash Player
version 10.0.2.26
2. FMS3 Admin Console is running with Flash Player version
9.0.124.0
I don't think there are any conflicts because i did some
uninstalls and tried again... It just FMS3 keeps report that agent
is 9.0.115 when testing a movie from inside Flash CS3.
Could it be because i still use the trial version of Flash
CS3 Pro? Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Not sure I'd want to create something like that in Acrobat.
Can you create it in Word and use screen captures then PDF the end result?

Dreamweaver/ Flash & Server issue

The issue I am having is:
* When a new .HTM page is created, no flash will play.
Anything newly uploaded on the server or anything that has been
uploaded in the past.
* When I save from another .HTM file, only the newly uploaded
flash will not play, yet the old will.
Everything works fine locally, just not on the site server.
My partner noticed that there is some Javascript at the bottom of
the page (that we did not add), even when a new page is created or
if the code is deleted it comes back. I called where we host and
they explained that Dreamweaver adds the code to make the Flash
play locally, and it's something with the way Plesk handles it that
it won't work from the server. All I have to do is go into Plesk
and delete the code, and everything will work fine. I've tried
deleting all of it, parts of it, and I can't seem to make the flash
movie play.
Has anyone experienced anything like this and have some sort
of a solution? If someone can aid me in what exactly I need to
delete, or some other way to fix it... The problem started today
for us seemingly out of nowhere.
Myself and my partner are both working from CS3, I am working
from Windows XP Pro and he is working from a Mac.
Below are links to the troublesome pages. The Java shows at
the bottom of the repurposed page and an added line before
"</head>" at the top.
New
.HTM Page
Repurposed
.HTM Page
You can see how our videos are laid out by going to
Miss
GEICO Racing and clicking 'action' then 'videos;' the top one
is the one that is not working.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Created website in flash cs3, wont open once hosted...

I tried to find the answer here in the forums but couldn't,. I'm sorry, i bet this question has been posted before..
I created a website in flash cs3. published it so that I now have an index.html, home.swf and AC_RunActiveContent.js file.
when I upload these to host, the url just shows blank white page. I called customer support of host, godaddy, and they said the server could not find the swf file.
are they named incorrectly? I'm new to this...
thank you very much

According to a quick check there is no file by the name of...
So... two things:
1. Never use spaces in the names of files you intend to use on the web. That space can break code up. It is best to use an underscore if you need to, but not an empty space.
2. After you change the name and get things updated in the code for the new name, make sure your spelling is correct.
After you have loaded the newly named file you should be able to access it directly on the web using ... newfilename.swf
where newfilename is whatever new name you give it.
