Dynamic text not displaying when publishing for flash 8

This dynamic text works fine when the movie is published for
flash 7, but when i export for the flash 8 player it seems to be
invisible. Is there any obvious reason for this happenning?
thanks
jon

Ok, thanks, looks like you've pointed me in the right
direction. I havent fixed it yet though. Heres where i am at:
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = false;
now i can see my text. of course its using a default font.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "arial14b";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = true;
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.text = "wasssup?";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.setTextFormat = my_fmt;
this isnt working. I have added a font object to the library
and linked it for actionscript using the monkier "arial14b".
however my text is quite invisible. i have checcked, 'export in
first frame' for the font object i even tried it with this
deselected. i have deselected the embed font option on the text
feild itself. that doesnt work either (unless i dont try to set the
text format, so long as i accept a default font, its fine).
so err, help?
confused
jon
ps further to this is have discovered more about this strange
behaviour. i can set the text to a different string, provided i do
not try to embed the font in any way. if i set the font to embed, i
can have the text display with the correct font, until i change the
text. then it dissappears. also i cannot seem to affect properties
like font size by means of my TextFormat object. the textFormat
object also does not seem to affect the font of the text.
in short, when exporting for flash 8, i cannot seem to
successfully embed fonts for dynamic text. the only thigs i have
gotten to work are: static text (or a dynamic text feild with
unchanged text) with an embedded font, or dynamic text with a
default font.

Flash not displaying when published

When publishing my flash site, the only thing that displays on screen is the link for a flash update. I am not sure why this is. I have everything up to date on my computer. I believe it has to do with the code in the html that was generated by flash. Please take a look and let me know. Thanks

this defaults to 15.0.0.0 and needs to be set at the current version of flash.
Something adobe should look at.
Hope this helps anyone who has had the same problem.

Img alt="text" not displayed when images are turned off in Safari

I have tried to search this, but every search has returned too many posts, so I apologize in advance.
Have I made some error or is there an issue with my Safari? For some reason my Safari does not display alt="text" when images are turned off?
This is what is supposed to happen (see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/attimgalt.asp) and it works fine in my other browsers (Opera, FF), but with Safari I get nothing - no image, no alt text, no indiciation that an image is supposed to be in that place. According to w3c, Safari is supposed to be compliant.
There is no problem with the site itself, I am designing the site and test with and without images to see how it degrades. As I said, it works properly in Opera and FF - the alt="text" text is displayed in place of the image - but not in Safari.
Is this just my Safari? How do I fix this if it is?
Is it Safari in general? If so, how do we get it fixed, because this is clearly just not correct?

It's not just you. I see the same thing in my Safari. It appears to be a Safari problem, in which case the best thing to do is submit feedback to Apple's developers via the Mac OS X feedback form. (You will not receive a response, as that page notes, but the feedback will get to the people who can use it.)

Cc text not displaying when using full motion recording

Hello everyone,
I wanted to find out if anyone has experienced a problem with
cc text not being displayed on slides with full motion recording.
I have added and sync'd the cc text on a slide that has full
motion recording. When publishing the file, no cc text appears in
the the published file.
Is there a workaround or a setting that I need to check to
ensure that the cctext shows up?
Any information which anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.
Sherry

Hi Sherry,
I'm having the same problem you were last year! Just wondered if you were able to find a workaround.
I have a full motion page with audio embedded in it (meaning that the audio does not show up as its own item in the timeline view). When I open the Advanced Audio Management dialog box, I'm not able to add a caption because CP4 doesn't think there's sound on this slide. (see attached screen grab -- the slide in question is slide 9. You see that the caption button is greyed out).
I've really hit a wall on this one today. I tried deleting the audio and re-adding it from the library, but it doesn't get added as an independent object in the timeline box; it just gloms onto the "captured animation" object.
Maybe it's simply not possible to have a closed caption on a FMR page? That doesn't seem right though.
Thanks, all.

Photo gallery not displaying when published to .mac

Hey,
I'm having some trouble publishing my photo gallery. I do not want to publish it as a web gallery from iPhoto then link to it with iWeb. What I want to do is to send a gallery from iPhoto into iWeb, and have it published as part of the website. When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account. When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up! I do not know what to do, I have tried completely deleting the photo gallery page and remaking it in case I did something wrong in the design somewhere, but it still does not load up. If I link in a web gallery, it does show up, but, again, that is not what I want to do. I am at a loss for what may be causing the error. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Heather

Publishing a iPhotoalbum to iWeb is the same as dragging the album from the media browser to iWeb.
When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account.
When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up!
What is it? Does it upload great to dotMac or doesn't it?
There's only one thing to do. Publish it. No need to upload. iWeb takes care of that.
It helps if you provide a URL to said page.

Dynamic Text not loading when browser refreshes

Hi All,
For some reason, when the user refreshes the browser, the 'Welcome to our ....' dynamic text in the middle of my swf doesn't load in IE 8. I think this is somehow cache related maybe?
I'm using a preloading container .swf to load the main movie swf, Interactive_StrategyMap.swf (located here: http://precorp.coop/fileshare/map/Interactive_StrategyMap.swf).
You can view the behavior here: http://www.precorp.coop/fileshare/map/InteractiveStrategyMap.html
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks,
John

Ned... Ahh, it appears to be happening to me because I have the Tools/Internet option in IE selected "Check for new version of stored pages" to Automatically.

TypeKit Fonts Not Displaying When Published to Web

Hello everyone. After noodling around the forums, I found the method for using non-Edge fonts from TypeKit in a Muse site. For some reason, however, it doesn't seem to work. My workflow if below. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a specific font I should be using in Muse in the hopes it gets overwritten by TypeKit?
1. Setup and publish TypeKit.
     a. Added Adobe Garamond Pro as font.
     b. Created selector of .body_garapro for that font.
     c. Publish changes.
2. In Muse:
     a. Copy embed code from TypeKit into Head via page properties for Master Page.
     b. Create paragraph style called body_garapro. (In this paragraph style, I tried using good old web safe font Arial and the edge web font Garamond EB. In either case neither was replaced. I made sure not to use a system font to avoid the image output issue.)
     c. Export site as HTML, upload via FTP to domain entered into TypeKit...and no TypeKit replacement.
I also made sure that my test text had no overrides and was using the straight body_garapro paragraph style.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc

Hi All,
I have typed in some Chinese Characters into a Print Layout Document.
I am able to print these documents with the Chinese characters. But I am not able to display these Chinese Characters when I click on PDF.
Please advise.
Rdgs
Jessie

Hi Gordon,
I have applied the various asian language service pack for the Adobe Reader.
However, i am still not able to see the Chinese Characters in the PDF document when click on the PDF at SAP B1's Toolbar.
Step 1 : Update a PLD with Chinese Characters (as text or from database field). Eg. AR Invoice.
Step 2 : Set the PLD as Default Layout.
Step 3 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on Preview. Chinese Character is able to be previewed and printed.
Convert to PLD.
Step 4 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on PDF button at the Toolbar. Preview the PDF document. No Chinese Characters are displayed.
Is it due to Localisation? Localisation = Singapore
Please advise.
Regards
Jessie

Captivate4 - Slide and audio do not match when published to flash

Hello there Captivate 4 users
I need help, I am very frustrated it seems that I can preview my production and all is well. Until I publish the file and then in some sections the narration is not linked to the proper slide.
I am using Windows XP pro and I have the e-Learning suite.
If anyone can assist me I would greatly appreciate it, as my project deadline has passed!
Thanks
C

Hi there
Sometimes we see that Captivate becomes confused with audio. One possible solution involves noting which slide has become mismatched. Then note the name of the audio clip. Export the clip to the Windows file system. Rename it and import it back to the problem slide to replace the existing clip. The clip is still the same it just uses a different name.

Horizontal Menu Bar not displaying when published as it views in live view or preview

I am working on putting together our site and haven't used Dreamweaver in years so very rusty. I have a horizontal menu bar that is working properly in "live view" and in "preview" mode but when I publish the submenus are not working.
You can view the site at www.pulsecc.org
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much! That's a little frustrating how long I pulled my hair out trying to figure something this simple out!
Thanks again!

Alpha property not working on TextField when publish for Reader 9

Hi,
I have a movie that is working fine when I publish for Reader 10, but when I publish for Reader 9, the code that assigns an alpha property to my TextFields stops working. I have a previous movie, which I probably did in CS4, that uses similar code to fade in and out TextFields. It was published for Reader 9 and works fine.Is it possible that something has changed in CS5 (note, I'm not using TLF text boxes, only dynamic TextFields)?
Here's an example of the code I'm using:
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var txtFormat1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat1.font = "Optima";
txtFormat1.color = 0x000000;
txtFormat1.bold = false;
txtFormat1.size = 16;
txtFormat1.leading = 2;
var subtitle:TextField = new TextField();
subtitle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
subtitle.selectable = false;
subtitle.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat1;
var fadeInSubtitle:Tween;
addChild(subtitle);
subtitle.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - subtitle.width / 2;
subtitle.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - subtitle.height / 2;
subtitle.alpha = 0;
subtitle.text = "What is the most important question in";
fadeInSubtitle = new Tween(subtitle,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,3,true);

Thanks.
Just curious: Is there a reason why the alpha on the TextFields worked without embedding fonts when publishing for Flash Player 10? Does it handle text, even when it's not TLF, differently than Flash Player 9?

Image cannot be displayed (as htmltext) when published for Air, android and iphone

Success story
All text and images are displayed from online as htmlText when published as SWF
The problem/requirement
Images are NOT displayed when published as AIR 2.6, AIR for Android or AIR for iphone
Searched the net, but no success. The images are not visible/loading when the rss application is installed on mobile devices (Android and iPhone)
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Colette
Are you saying that there should be .hhc, .hhk, .hhp, etc. files for each topic?
Those are project files and you would not see one for each topic. There is one (maybe more, depending on what you are doing) for each project.
One thing you may wish to try is to enable the "Use lowercase file names" option in your SSL recipe.
After you do this, generate and publish again.
Cheers... Rick

Flash Text not displaying certain fonts

Thanks as always…
I am trying to use Flash text for some headings, but after an
hour of pulling my hair out I've just realised it will only display
certain fonts, such as Helvetica etc.
I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still
does not display…
I'm using MX on OSX 10.3.9.
Any ideas? Thansk.

Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
flash?
I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
"true-type" font.
In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
assume is the case in your situation),
then the font works just like in an html page:
if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
not, it won't. The way around this, is to
embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
a web-safe font.

Background audio not adjusting after project is paused when published to Flash. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I'm working with:
Captivate 6
Mac OS X 10.8.2
Flash Player is updated to most recent version
My project contains background audio music set to adjust to slide audio. When I publish to Flash the background audio adjusts appropriately until I pause the video and then resume. Once the video resumes the background audio no longer adjusts to slide audio. So basically anytime a learner pauses the video and then resumes the background audio drowns the slide audio out. I've tried this with multiple projects and get the same result.
When I publish in HTML5 it works fine. But I cannot use HTML5 because my project contains necessary rollover objects and captions, slide transitions, text animations, and other effects that HTML5 does not support.
I've to remove and re-add the background audio, uninstall and reinstall Captivate, adjust the background and slide volume levels, uncheck loop audio, and pretty much any audio settings and publish settings I can think of.
Can someone else with the same OS and Captivate version try and see if they encounter the same problem when publishing to Flash?
Or does anyone have a solution/workaround?
Thank You!

Hi folks
Sorry, I don't have a fix to offer. Only an observation. I'm rather surprised to see this many folks actually USING background audio. I say that, because I have facilitated hundreds of Captivate classes over the years. And there are lots of folks with Instructional Design background that attend. And in so many of the classes, when we reach the audio section and we cover how to use Background Audio, the same comment is made.
The comment is that generally speaking, it is their opinion that from an Instructional Design standpoint, background music is a "no no" and should be avoided because it detracts from the learning objective.
Perhaps the link below will help.
