Embedded swf in pdf does autoplay in IE(9), does not play in Firefox and Chrome.

I created a pdf with swf embedded. Set it to autoplay.
Does play fine in IE9.
In Firefox and Chrome video shows up (initial picture) with a play button.
Will not play, not auto nor when I click the play button.
Firefox and Chrome I just downloaded, so the newest versions.
Windows 7 professional.

Found the solution for Firefox.
In firefox, goto tools/options.
Look for Portable Document Format (PDF).
Select it and in drop down choose Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) instead of Use Firefox (Default)
Thanks but no thanks, Acrobat team.

    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Need help with embedded SWF in PDF as navigation

    Hi,
    I was wondering is there a way to have an embedded swf navigate to different pages of a pdf?
    Example:
    My swf is on page one. There are mulitple buttons in the swf, when clicked it will take you to page 3, or 5, or 7, etc.
    Currently, when I click on a button, it DOES take me to say page 4, but the content on page is the SWF file from page 1, and not the content that is suppose to be on page 4. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    This is what I have in the flash action:
    btn_1994_1.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, p1994 );
    function p1994(e:MouseEvent):void{
         //addChild(pop_1994);
         doExternalInterfaceCall("gotoTarget", "pink");
    function doExternalInterfaceCall(myfncall, parm)
        flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(myfncall,parm);
    And this is what I have in the javascript of the pdf:
    function gotoTarget(name)
         this.gotoNamedDest(name);
    Please help me fix this problem.
    Thanks in advanced!
    ps. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro

  • Issues embedding swf in pdf document?

    I have created a small application to illustrate Snell's law as a flash file.
    The idea is to integrate it in a online educational book and I have already done so with several simple animations.
    This was to be my first application with user input other than start/stop buttons.
    The application works fine in a browser or as a stand-alone flash file but when I embed it in the pdf file it doesn't execute properly, nothing happens when buttons are pushed to calculate the equations.
    This is my first question here so I don't know how to add my application or an example of it embedded in a pdf document but I guess including them from a filehosting site could work?
    The swf file:
    http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408159/Snells_Law.swf
    The PDF file:
    http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408160/test.pdf
    I used CS6 Flash professional to create the SWF file.
    thanks in advance
    edit: also including the original fla-file: http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408478/Snells_Law_3.fla
    By moving a piece of code up through the lines I have found that after line 377, nothing gets executed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I see no syntax errors and your code works well so there shouldn't be any issue embedding it. In Acrobat XI I get a preview of the plugin required to view the SWF and I must activate the plugin (very common on windows) by clicking on it. Once I do the SWF embedded in your document works for me, although it doesn't overlap the preview which is stretched to the size of the page whereas the plugin container is the size of the original document. So it works fine for me when viewing as a PDF and if you resize it down to its original document size it should overlap the preview properly. Plugin containers often require permission/activation (a mouse click), that's normal.
    I was able to target 10.1/10.2 as the SWF export target rather than FP11. You may want to try downgrading your publish preferences to that which should reduce the overhead of the plugin container. Outside that I see no reason you should have an issue embedding this. I don't have a full copy of master at home to create the PDF to test (openoffice isn't really capable of it) so you'll have to test that yourself but the PDF you linked works for me.

    How to have a SWF (embedded in PDF) load a form text field: "value" ?
    Objective: given;
    ~ SWF is embedded in a PDF
    ~ form field in PDF = "name1"
    Coding task;
    how to script the SWF's text field so that it can use the PDF's form text field
    while embeded in the PDF (that has a form field / "value").

    ActionScript in the SWF has direct access to the Acrobat JavaScript model through the ExternalInterface object.

  • 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.

  • Uploaded pdf-documents generates code instead of pages in firefox and chrome (however they work in safari)

    this is a new problem after having upgraded to mountain lion.
    when I attach a hyperlink to my pdf-document that I like to display on the web - the pdf-document will not show up in Firefox or Chrome - it generates a lot of code instead.
    I have only uploaded the files to my computer (not released on the web yet) - as I can see all files are neatly displayed in the appropriate pagefolder.
    One of the themes (modern) provided as a standard feature in iWeb has been used. In Chrome the menu does not show up either (although safari and firefox displays the menu correctly)

    I should have given you some info about testing the local version of your site. As you probably realise, its almost useless testing your site in Safari since hardly anybody uses it.
    In OS X up to Snow Leopard, we could set up Web Sharing from System Prefs but Apple made this difficult in Mountain Lion.
    See the bottom of this page for info about testing the local version of your website...

  • Flash content does not play in Firefox

    PROBLEM:
    Videos and Flash content hang in Firefox. The screen is grey and the twirling circle is frozen. This is a recent problem; this behavior is new and it is unclear what has changed in my system.
    1. The problem does not occur with I.E.
    2. Win8 , Firefox, and Flash plug-in are current.
    3. Running Firefox in safe mode does not help.
    4. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox , Flash, and RealPlayer
    5. Java is working.
    ''temporary'' SOLUTION:
    Deleted RealPlayer
    ''edited by a moderator''

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    * [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    * [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
    * [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
