Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok
One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page. I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...). Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing. On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded. Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Sue
Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates? Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates? If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.

Why does embeded .swf file goes crazy in IE but not in other browsers?
hi everyone
I'm building a SharePoint page with an embedded .swf file that is capable of detecting the current URL to activate and show content. Everything goes smoothly in all the browsers I've tested it except IE. When I open the SharePoint page in IE the .swf just reproduces the frames non stop, It completely ignores my scripts and I cant find anything that could be responsible of this. besides the url detection script, i just have simple button configuration for the timeline and general stops.
any idea?.....anyone?Normally when swf's play differently for different browsers it is due to the embedding code used in the html page.

Embedded swf files don't show / slow to load when viewing project online
I'm playing with the trial version of Captivate 3 and doing a
mock up of an e learning module. I have a project which is about 30
slides long and 4 or 5 of those slides have full motion recording
objects on the slide (that were created when I drag and dropped
something during the recording process). When I publish the
project, it creates a separate swf file for each of the motion
recordings...
When I upload my published captivate project to my web server
(the html doc, main swf, and supporting swfs), everything plays
fine until I get to one of the slides that had one of the full
motion recordings on it. When I get to those slides, the captions
keep appearing, the audio keeps playing, etc. but the slide is
blank - the full motion recording doesn't load.
It appears that it just hasn't loaded yet, because if I try
running the whole thing again, then it works fine!
It's like the supporting SWF file hadn't finished loading but
the main swf just kept on going...
This seems like a really big bug to me? I'm pulling my hair
out :(
Is there a way to compile the whole project into 1 SWF file?
Is there a way to embed the SWF files into the main SWF file so it
is taken into account when preloading?
Thanks to anyone who has some advice!! help!
GasparHi Gaspar,
Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
Good luck,
David
Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
send a feature request again... -
Embedded swf file won't launch pop-up in safari
The following page has an embedded swf file which when clicked is supposed to launch a 800x600 pop-up html file.
http://www.artfair.com.au/index-2008.htm
The action script I'm using in the movie is
on (press, release) {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.artfair.com.au/2008_interim/htm/in terim.htm','interim','height=600,width=800,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");
The html code is:

post the code on Adobe.com's forums for the flash developers as theyll be able help you recode the link as ive noticed int eh XP browsers it tells me its a javascript error, ill take a nothe rpeak at the flash document/javascript and see if i can pick apart what might fix it but for the meantime id suggest submitting this to the flash forums as its a Flash/Javascript/Actionscript issue not a Safari issue
=]
ill let you know if i notice anything before you find a solution.
also let me know if you do find the issue because ive been looking to put together a pop up window in flash but none seem to work properly. -
I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have…I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button…how and where would I put this "play all" marker?? Thanks..
The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

I'm trying to export a file as .dwg for Autocad but it's not showing the dwg preview and it appears to be saving as code (lots of gobbledegook when reopening the file). I'm on OS 10.5.8. Never had a problem with this before. What am I missing? Any ideas?
First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?
Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :( -
How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.
For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
Check the apps James Ward suggests. -

Pressing play on purchased downloads and it starts to download but then returns to the play button. This is for all the purchased items I have. However pressing play on previews works. Please advise.
Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location. -
