Embedding an interactive flash into Authorware

I want to embed a flash interactive into Authorware (see:
http://www.cellsalive.com/meiosis.htm
In the past I embedded a basic Flash animation into
Authorware and it seem to work ok. I'm not sure of more complex
ones i.e. that have interactive controls etc. I assume its not so
simple as to embed into authorware. Is it the case that it is
doable, but requires some configuration/programming? Or does it
work be simply embedding the complex interactive flash into
authorware?
thanks in advance

If the flash file id published for player version 6 (or
earlier) then
you can embed it using the Flash Asset Xtra, probably in the
same way as
you have before. If it is a later version you will need to
use the
Flash player ActiveX control.

Best way to embed an Mov file into interactive flash game?

Hey,
just a quick query. I'm creating an interactive flash game for a university project. It's along the lines of Guitar Hero, Tap Tap Revolution, Boom Boom Rocket etc..
At the moment the game comprises of streaks of notes generated by Actionscript which the user much hit the corresponding key when notes are in the receptor. The background at the moment is an audio spectrum analyser created using AS based on the music playing.
I want to add loop movie file as the very background of the stage and was just wondering what was the best way to place it there with the least ammount of overheads. At the moment I have it in a child movie clip placed on the stage, in which I use File -> Import and embeded the FLV file into the time line. This works, however lags out quite badly.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
John Minns

Have you tried this method?
1. Save as new file.
2. With your usual color management preferences selected, run Xtras>Color>'Name all colors'.
3. In color swatches list, select all colors. From swatches pop-up menu 'Make RGB'.
4. In Preferences>Color, set color management settings to 'None'. The RGB colors should look about the same as they did with color management on.
Now you should be able to export to Flash with RGB colors that look quite close to your CMYK version of the file.
This should work the same in FH9 or FHMX. I hope it does the trick for you.

How to embed interactive flash in PDF

I am trying to place an interactive Flash .swf file into a
PDF. I don't want it to just play through like a movie. I need
people to be able to click through it, and interact with it as if
it. There are, for example, 4 matching problems. So a person will
match for the question in problem 1, then click a button to see if
they got them right or wrong, then click next to go to the next
question. We've gotten it so that you can do all the interaction in
the PDF, but it first playes through all the questions and actions.
Basically it playes through it like a movie. Does anyone know how
to get it so it doesn't play through like a movie and instead is
just an interactive piece? Sorry that this is really
confusing.

If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.
You can use SWLoader for that:

Importing Flash into PowerPoint

Hello - I have a Flash file that I would like to import into PowerPoint. Below are my questions. I am hoping to get some guidance on this.
First a few pieces of information:
1. I use a Mac but have a Parallel system at work so I have access to Windows PPT 2008. I am using Flash CS5.
2. The Flash file is not huge, it's just these animated curtains that open up to reveal a logo and text.
Questions:
1. I have found the only way to import the Flash file is to export as a .mov and then import that into PPT. This works great EXCEPT for that the text and logo look blurry in PPT. I have no idea why.
2. Is it possible to export a .mov file with just the curtain animation but with a transparent background so that when I import into PPT, we can just type the text directly within PPT and not have to include that in the Flash file?
3. I read online that you can import SWFs into Windows PPT but I have not been able to get that to work either.
Thanks in advance for any and all information!!

Is this interactive flash movie possible in Adobe Edge?

Hi,
I´ve done this interactive flash applikation:
http://bit.ly/Uy6GEF
Is it possible to create this exactly the same in adobe edge? If you click on a hotspot, then a 3d-video (this video is already done in a 3d-animation-software) with a transparent background appears over the car-layer and on click to "back" it softly disapears.
(For this online version, I´ve just put a compressed video into "Gasoline & Diesel system". Normally, every hotspot has a different video.
So, are those interactions possible in Edge?
Best regards,
Maw

Everything except for the alpha transparency video is easily doable in Edge.
Rather then trying to shoehorn html5 video with an alpha transparency into Edge (not sure if this is doable), you could potentially use a png sequence or spriteSheet to play back those animations. Though the file size will be very large, and Edge does not have native implementation for png sequences or spriteSheet playback. yet.
John Dunning built a plugin for Fireworks to export a spritesheet as an Edge symbol:

Hiya, Mike,
It's pretty tough to work through pasted-in code. If you can, please upload a page to a server, so we can see your pages in context. We'll be able to download it and look at it.
That said, you can do this: Find the beginning of an editable region in Code View. It will look like this:

Click anywhere in that tag, between the opening bracket and the closing bracket.
Then, on the vertical toolbar on the left side of the Code window, click on the "Collapse Full Tag" button. It is the one with two arrows pointing at each other. This will collapse that entire editable region. Then click the button with the two arrows pointing away from each other. That will re-open the editable region, but will highlight it.
If you have nested regions, you will find the other inside one of the editable regions. If you copy the <!-- InstanceBeginEditable and do a search on it in that document, you will find the nested region.

Thanks John,
I've downloaded the exif tool + the gui - I can see how it's meant to work and have successfully processed a single file (even when I got the name wrong it still copied exif time data!)
I'll investigate further on how to do a batch and use command line
Really appreciate your prompt response to my problem.
I will let you all know how I get on - will take quite a few weeks but I am confident I can get there!
Thanks Mike
A week later I've now got back into this. I used the exif gui tool - which was very simple to use once I sat down with peace and quiet for 10 mins! I successfully copied and updated the correct exif data including capture time from the original backup files. My metadata keywords remained untouched when I then updated the metadata setting from disk in lightroom.
exif is a great tool, and I found it easier to use than AM pro - I couldn't see the photo attributes in the trial download so made it hard to sort by date.
Anyway my problem was overcome thank you

Create a User-Interactive Flash

Is there any way I can create an interactive Flash with which the user can put X-marks on random locations of a picture? (e.g. X marking different locations on a map.)

Thank you very much for the reply.
I know very little about Flash, or AS for that matter. Is there any way I could find a step-by-step way of following your guide?
On my part, I opened Flash and clicked CTRL + R.
I imported a PNG that looks like an "X".
I then clicked F8, and chose the name XMark for my symbol, and checked "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in frame 1".
I then clicked on File > New, and chose "ActionScript 3.0 Class". I typed the "Class name" as XMark.
A window popped up with a default script (below).
Here's where I got stuck: I have two tabs. One is my PNG in the form of a movie, and one the script window.
What do I do here? (I guess I am asking, how do I "merge" the two tabs into one flash?)
Also, do I cut and paste your script after the following, or should I delete the default script?:
package {
    public class XMark {
        public function XMark() {
            // constructor code
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Intergrating Flash into Dreamweaver

I have two things that I have made in Flash CS4 and I want to add them to a website I made in Dreamweaver CS4. One of them is a slideshow and the others are buttons. How do I do it in CS4?

It's not really a matter of step by step, just understanding how to make web pages, which you hopefully have some understanding of. I do not have a reference to point you to for such a step by step description.
If you published the swf files, you should be familiar with the Publish Settings panel that is available via the File menu option. In that panel on the opening section, specify html as one of the outputs. When you publish the file, an html page will be created, and likely some javascript page as well (which the html page will use). Open the html page in DW and copy the Flash embedding code from it into your web page.

Captivate into Authorware

I have been using Authorware and Captivate with one another
for years. Now that Captivate 2.0 has come out I am suddenly
running into problems importing the .swf files into Authorware.
Once the file is imported and I run the program, not only is the
simulation not working (clickboxes), but the "Project Created By:
Adobe Captivate 2.0" box is displayed on the screen. The only
buttons that do work are the buttons on the skin.
Does anyone have experience with this that can give some
insight?
Thanks.

Are you using ActiveX to play the Captivate movie? If not,
you probably
should, as the Asset Xtra doesn't support all the features of
Flash 7.

Interactive Flash on a DVD?

I have a SD DVD with 3 Videos and I want to also put 1 interactive Flash video on this same DVD. Is this possible?

You can certainly do it by adding a microsite, as you describe. The bigger issue is getting it to autorun when you click a link in the menu of the DVD. Currently there is no reliable way to get such links working effectively on both macs and PCs, and as you have already pointed out, you can't play enhanced content on the set top player anyway.
On the Mac side of things, the technology to get interactive links is called DVD@ccess. This works, to a fashion, on a Mac. It \sometimes works on \some PCs \if you persuade the user of the PC to install the DVD@ccess software and \if their system recognises it and allows it to work. Many don't.
In essence, the viewer would see the link on a menu, click the button and be taken to another menu (@ccess links can only be embedded in the menu - i.e work when the menu is played, not when a button is clicked). When the new menu plays, the web browser will launch over the top of the DVD player app. Therefore, in the background you could 'time out' the menu and go back to the first one almost immediately. The user would never see that happen, because the web page was in front, starting up and distracting their attention.
Since DVD@ccess is so unreliable the only way to do this would be to give the viewers the instructions on how to find the content - possibly as text on a menu - and rely on them navigating to the folder you have created and double-clicking the index.htm file (or whatever) to get it running.
All you need to do to get this set up is add your microsite as ROM content to your DVDSP project, taking care to nest the folders carefully and set the disc based URL correctly.

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

CSS Help! Inserting flash into a div has caused layout change

Hi,
I am trying to insert flash into a div. I'm new to CSS so I
think I must be doing something wrong. As soon as I insert the
flash the layout goes wrong and all divs below it are pushed down
out of my "main" div. I've now taken the flash.swf out and inserted
an image again, but it's still wrong. It previews fine in the
browser though.
Any ideas!?

Embedding MS Accessibility controls into pdf document.

I have a pdf form running fine in a server with Adobe Proffesional 8.0, We need to update to Adobe Pro 9.0 or Adobe Pro 10. The app is not performing well in those higer versions of Adobe Pro because we need to capture data from a pop up window to name an output file, but the data can no be scraped from the pop up window. I heard that the problem can be circumvented by embedding MS Accessibility Controls into the form. Can sombody please help me understand what is "embedding MS Accessibility Controls into a pdf form"?
Thanks

We have the pdf rendered in a JVM in an Intranet. The pdf is displayed using Adobe Prod 8.0, when all the required data is captured from a phone interview, a button (click) triggers a WebService to execute and send a file to a Lenux Server.

I've used this code before on other Muse sites not sure what could have happened. Thnx!!!

Hi,
Please take a look at this post for a similar discussion : Re: When i export my muse website my youtube video links stop working. Why is this?
