Embedding Flash movie in Acrobat 3D

When I try to embed a flash file (.swf) into an Adobe document, I get the message:
"Cannot create the movie annotation ...."
Any ideas why, and how to do it properly?

If you are loading content ala using an xml file, that may be the source of the problem.  When you load a Flash file into a web page, that web page becomes the frame of reference for any files that the swf loads.  So if you tested this where the html file was in the same folder, but then moved things into different folders, then you need to adjust the Flash to load things as if it is in the html file's folder

  • Embedded Flash movie locks up Browser

    It doesn't seem to matter which of the top three
    browsers I use, but most often when you go to
    a website page that automatically (or not?)
    launches an embedded Flash movie, a little
    window pops up inside that embedded movie
    asking me to click Allow or Deny.
    But NIETHER is clickable, the browser is locked,
    nothing can be clicked and ALL other tabs are locked
    and cannot be clicked either.
    I have to hit CTRL+ALT+DELTE to kills the
    browser in Task Manager. .A HUGE annoyance,
    that comes unexpectedly because you don't know
    when an embedded movie will be on the next page
    you click.
    How do I stop that Allow/Deny message popping up??

  • Dailymotion embedded flash movie not working anymore

    I cannot seem to get Dailymotion embedded flash movies working. The movie is just a black screen. The same embedded movie on the same webpage works in windows. (Non-embedded) movies on the official Dailymotion site still works though.
    This happened only recently. I thought maybe it was a flash 10 issue, but after rolling back to flashplugin 9, the problem still remains.
    Does anyone has the same problem?

    Usually when a browser has an issue playing a Flash file it is due to the embedding code that is used in the html page.  Can you compare your code to another page's code to see what differences there are?  You should let Flash generate the embedding code rather than using some other software to do it if that is what you did.  Just have Flash publkish and html page, test that page in your various browsers, and if it works, copy/paste that code in place of what you have now.

  • Embedding flash movie in a web page

    I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
    Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
    I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
    I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?

  • Opening maximized window from embedded flash movie

    Hi!
    I need your help!
    I have a html file with a flash movie-menu embedded into it. I'd like one of the buttons to open an external html page strictly in a new maximized window. It does not matter if the new window has toolbar or not. I want it to open a new maximized window (not the full screen thing) onclick.
    How can I achieve this?
    thank you!

    use the javascript window.open method to open your popup and set the page dimensions.
    you can use getURL or navigateToURL() to execute a javascript function or better use the externalinterface class to call a javascript function in your embedding html file.

  • Dreamweaver embedded flash movie - Safari problem

    I have 3 flash movies embedded on a page using dreamweaver. Firefox plays either of the 3 no problem, Safari Only plays the first one.
    I am using the Clear Skin 2 Controller. The ID tags I'm using are FLVPlayer1,2,3... JS script folder is uploaded and contains the AC_Active scripts.
    Obviously I'd like to get this to work in Safari. Any thoughts???
    Thanks

    From the reading I've been doing since posting this, I am beginning to think this is either a QuickTime plugin or flash plugin problem with Safari. I am running osx 10.5.6 and Safari 3.2.1 - I was hoping for an easy page code fix.

  • Embeded Flash movies in Flex app

    Hi,
    Flex noob with no real Flash experience. I have successfully
    loaded a Flash analogue clock swf file into an app I'm
    experimenting with in Flex. I used the image tag and is works well.
    I would like to also embed a Flash movie which is a news scroller.
    This movie calls in an external XML file as it's text source (who's
    content I change dynamically with php) and the original movie was
    wrapped in some html which passed in some 'param' parameters. Can
    anyone explain how Flex handles Flash movies like this?,
    many thanks,
    Mike

    I found a solution to my problem so I thought I'd answer my
    own question here for the good of others who may experience the
    same issue. When using Flex on your local machine (localhost),
    security precautions inherent in Flash prevent the movies from
    showing up in Flex. Once I tested on the production server the
    movies showed up fine. The problem was nothing to do with the
    param's being passed in and Flex did not need any of the info from
    the html wrapper as far as I can make out,
    Hope that saves another newbie from some hair pulling,
    cheers,
    Mike

  • Is there a way to open another pdf via a button in my (pdf embedded) flash movie?

    My Acrobat 9 pro pdf, contains an ActionScript 2.0 swf, added via the Flash tool, on the multimedia toolbar.
    The Flash file contains an animation introducing a collection of linked pdf files.
    At the end of the intro a button appears, which when clicked, should replace the current pdf with one of the linked ones.
    Is it possible to do this inside actobat?
    Regards Maxwell

    Thank you.  That’s all I need to know.

  • Embedding flash movie

    I have designed a slideshow in dreamweaver using the
    Insert/Media/Image Viewer. I resized all the jpeg images to
    400x325; it looks beautiful when viewed in the preview browser but
    when I upload it to my site, it does not appear.
    Is there a special code that Dreamweaver doesn't
    automatically load that I would have to do to embed the file? I
    appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks,

  • Flash movie embedded in Acrobat (Intel Mac)

    I use the slideshow feature in Acrobat to give presentations.
    Maybe that's a crazy idea, but anyway, I do. I have an Acrobat
    slideshow with an embedded Flash movie that used to play very
    nicely.
    Now I've switched to an Intel Mac and Flash 9 beta. When I
    play the slideshow, Acrobat gives me an error that it can't play
    the movie, and then it wants to take me to download an additional
    player. Okay, fine. But the download page it takes me to is for
    QuickTime Pro. Will that really help? Why won't Flash 9 beta work
    with Acrobat? I don't see any standalone player in my download...
    that may have something to do with it.
    Anyway, I would have hoped for greater integration with
    Acrobat now that Flash Player is an Adobe app. How to bridge this
    gap? Matt.

    I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

  • Get URL from embedded Flash AS3 movie

    I have a thumbnail scroller app built with AS3 on my website
    homepage. I have the class files but would like to know of any
    quick workaround to make the embedded Flash movie clickable without
    reworking the AS3 files. What I would like to do is if you click on
    a thmbnail or anywhere in the movie, the "portfolio" page loads. I
    asume this would use javascript? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I notice that when I click on the thumbnails in the browser,
    a "0" appears on top of each thumb. When i test in Flash preview
    clicking on an image generates:
    Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL
    Not Found.

  • Flex and a flash movie clip

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for some information on how to take an embedded
    flash movie clip and control it through Flex. I want to be able to
    manually move through the movie clip, select frames to display etc.
    Any information pointing me in the right direction would be
    greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    For Flash SWF's:
    Inside your componet/app def:
    private var movie_clip:MovieClip;
    private var myLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
    onInit() {
    myLoader.addEventListener(Event.INIT,loadHandler);
    myLoader.trustContent = true;
    myLoader.load("../assets/my.swf");
    this.addChildAt(myLoader,0);
    private function loadHandler(e:Event):void{
    movie_clip= e.target.content;
    movie_clip.gotoAndPlay(2);
    movie_clip.some_custom_as3_method();
    For Flex SWF's here is an example:
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import mx.managers.SystemManager;
    import mx.core.Application;
    // * gets rid of type checking so we can leave strict enabled
    [Bindable]public var _appLoaded:*;
    private function
    onCurrentApplicationComplete(oEvent:Event):void
    _appLoaded = Application(oEvent.target.application);
    private function onCompleteAppLoader(oEvent:Event):void
    var smAppLoaded:SystemManager =
    SystemManager(oEvent.target.content); //get a ref to the loaded app
    //listen for the application.complete event
    smAppLoaded.addEventListener(FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE,
    onCurrentApplicationComplete);
    // call a custom public method in your application mxml file:
    public function setPlaylist(id:int):void {
    if(_appLoaded) {
    _appLoaded.change_playlist(id);
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <!-- <mx:SWFLoader id="player" x="0" y="0" source="

  • How does one detect flash movie (embed object) focus?

    If I use javascript to shift focus to the embedded flash
    movie object, for example with the following line of code:
    document.getElementById("myMovie").focus();
    Is there any location within actionscript that I can add an
    event listener to detect this shift in focus to the flash movie? I
    have tried attaching a "focusIn" event handler to the application
    container, to the the stage, and the systemManager, but none of
    them appear to work.
    Essentially I need to know what object within the application
    is receiving focus when I make this javascript call.
