Finding flash movies (swf?) in cache

Dear all,
Is it possible to find flash movies that you have viewed in the cache (or anywhere else for that matter?).
Furthermore, is it possible to move them to a place where one can view them when offline?
Cheers
George

Go to Window > Activity and see if you see the swf file. You can option-double click on it to save it to disk.

Finding Flash Movie Player to associate SWF's

I'm not sure how it happened, but my computer will not
associate SWF's with the Flash Movie Player. There is not an option
to associate it to Flash within the simple "Open with" option, nor
can I find the Flash Movie file to associate to the SWF within
Control Panel/Tools Folder Options/File Types. (Yes, the
FlashPlayer is already installed on the computer.)
When flash webpags online is not a problem, it's trying to
view a swf that resides on the computer.
Any suggestions?

I'm fairly new with the video in flash mylself, but have done
a little. If you go to file>import video, all you do is follow
through the steps that it gives you. You'll have to decide whether
you want to embed your video or have it as a progressive download
as well as compression and quality. If your project is for the web
then embedding will make your file size bigger so probably not what
you want. After following through, flash imports the video and adds
flv player to your library, that's what you would put onto your
stage. The flv player is also customizable so you can get the look
you want. Should be stuff in the help file if you wanted to do more
with customizing. Depends on if you want buttons for the user to
use, or just have it auto play with no controls, your choice. Don't
forget a preloader if your movie is big. Hope this helps get you
started.

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers
Ed
(Im in Patagonia - documentary photographer...sorting a good site helps me secure sponsorship and future exhibition venues. Your help is appreciated!

Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Flash movie (.swf) getting clipped

Hi,
At the website www.coastlifechurch.com there is a Flash movie
on the front
page (top left of the eight squares). I made the basics of
the Flash movie,
then emailed it to my client to put new pictures in. He
assures me that he
left the movie at 200px x 200px. When it is inserted into the
page (he has
done via DreamWeaver), the bottom right gets clipped by one
or two pixels.
Even when I tested the movie setting the parameters to 150
px, the movie
still gets clipped. When I view the movie directly in
FireFox, it shows the
border all around the movie just as it should. (see
www.coastlifechurch.com/flash/Get-to-know-us.swf)
Can anyone help me work this out?
Thanks,
Bruce

How to detect end of flash movie (SWF file) in Javascript

I have used Dreamweaver CS4 to integrate my SWF file as shown
below. So far so good. See GoToNext()
my website
What I wouldd like to do is have the SWF movie trigger a
javascript function in my html page when the video is stopped
playing (i.e. when it is finished) There are no controlls in that
SWF file - it is basically am add banner. I would think this would
be easiest done by rasinng an event in SWF that is communicated to
javascript, where I can add an event listener, and thus trigger my
function.
How can this be done in the simplest way?
<div id="bodyFlash"
class="clearfloat"><p> </p>
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="760"
height="150" id="FlashID" title="Chillifire Banner">
<param name="movie" value="flash/chillifire.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="flash/chillifire.swf" width="760" height="150">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of
Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
<p><a href="

alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33"
/></a></p>
</div>

on the last frame in the banner file you can use the
ExternalInterface class to call a specific JS method, and even pass
data if needed.

Title for Flash movie (Swf file)

Hi
I want to add any title for my flash movie, As we can add any
title in HTML page with "title tag".
Usually the file name of flash file show as title like
"abc.swf"
but i want here another title like " Welcome to my xyz"
anything else....
Can anybody help me getting its solution....
Alok

Wishing to do the same thing, I've explored this with Macromedia. It appears to be a licensing problem for the Flash 5 engine. Macromedia wants a commitment of several thousand dollars (like close to 6 figures) to license the engine for an application. That's for a single applicaiton, and not a generic toolkit like JMF. I assume Sun found the same thing and balked, understandably.

Yes, in order to do anything with regards to editing the Flash file you will need to have the fla file.

Cant play flash movies (swf)

For some reason Flash movies wont play on my G5 using the
Flash Player application... they just come up blank... I can play
flash in a web browser froma remote site but not from my nachine...
I think I have all the necessary software thats needed...
any ideas??
thanks
DF

damir: are you talking about the standalone player? if so, in
order to view online content from the player, you need to include
the very specific URL that leads to the swf file. so
http://www.mydomain.com will not
work but
http://www.mydomain.com/flashcontent.swf
will work (of course you need an active internet connection as
well).
also, make sure you have the latest version of the player,
because some older versions may not play the latest content
correctly. not sure where you can download the latest standalone
player, but do a search on the adobe site for "standalone flash
player for mac" or something...

Right click on flash movie / SWF file

Why we get flash default menu when i right click on a flash
movie?.
When i enable video bookmark (videomark). user is suppose to
right click on flash movie and select videomark.
is the flash default menu is customizable?. Please let me
know.

Here is a sample script to customize the right-click menu.
Put it in frame 1 of your movie.
var myContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
var thisTitle:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("My
prison movie", bla);
var thisCredit:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("created
by Paris Hilton", bla, separatorBefore=true);
var thisCopyright:ContextMenuItem = new
ContextMenuItem("© My Intelligence Is Ltd.", bla);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisTitle);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCredit);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCopyright);
function bla() {
//insert your function here
this.menu = myContextMenu;
The function can be anything: getURL, load a movie clip, turn
sound on/off, etc. You can add as many ContextMenuItems as you
want. Each one can have a separate function assigned. It seems that
some sort of function is required by the class, so I use an empty
function like in this example if I want nothing to happen when the
user clicks the menu item.

Flash Movie In iWeb 3.0.2

Hi... hopefully the following makes sense
I have successfully managed to use the HTML Snippet to embed a flash movie (.SWF) on my web site created using iWeb... but it only works when I place a copy of the .SWF file in the appropriate folder on my idisk... which is fine... however, if I make any kind of change to the page containing the Flash Movies the SWF file disappears from the folder and the movie no longer plays.
This is easily rectified by copying the SWF file back into the appropriate folder but its a major pain to have to keep doing this every time I make a minor change.
Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

You need to create a folder for your movie file(s) on your iDisk.
In the Finder Go menu follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
In "Sites" create a new folder and name it something like Movies. Drag your SWF file into this from your Mac.
The URL to the file is......
http://web.me.com/username/FolderName/MovieName.swf
This folder of media files will not be overwritten when you publish your websites - as long as none of them are named the same as the folder!

Adding link to Flash movie to HTML Help

I have to output the same help in both CHM and WebHelp, and I
have to include a Flash movie (SWF) in both versions. The only way
I've found to get a link to the Flash movie to work in the compiled
CHM is to add all the Flash files to the project as "baggage" and
then insert the link. Compiled CHM then includes the Flash files.
Is this the recommended approach? Is there an easier way?
Thanks,
mel

Hi mel and welcome to our community
Indeed, adding to baggage will not hurt a thing and is
recommended. I recently published a second article dealing with
Flash content and RoboHelp that you may find useful. You may view

AP with Flash movie displays up or down 8 pixels

I've finally got my website up, with a flash movie (swf) of a
slideshow. It looks incorrect in DW (CS4), the movie is too low,
but displays correctly in Firefox and Safari (mac) - except in
Explorer (on a pc), where it displays too low: exactly like it
shows in DW. The background is a PS work, including a 'frame' to
play the movie within. Problem...
http://cinzophoto.com
Thanks for any help. I can't find anything in the code doing
this.
Laurence

OK, and Thanks again
//add the listener for each button
nav_button[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuClick);
addChild(nav_button[i]);
//menuClick Code
function menuClick(e:MouseEvent):void
e.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuClick);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, resetButton); //removes children from the navGroup movie clip
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, menuOut, false, 0, true); //retracts the drop down list
setButtonIndex(e.target.name);
addLinks(e.target.name); // adds drop down links to the navGroup movie clip
TweenLite.to(navGroup, .4, {y:navGroup.height,onComplete:showMe()}); //shows the drop down link list movie clips
//relate the above line to the target name
lastTarget = e.target.name;
Note: the displacement happens whenever I add a child to the stage, either the navGroup or the mask clip (dmask). The mask clip
is a rectangle with a fill.
Thanks

Problem downloading files from flash movie?

For some reason, on my Mac Book Pro (running OSX 10.5.4) I am unable to download a file from a flash movie (.swf). All other macs in the office are capable, and I can download files from other sources, just not from a flash movie. It allows me to choose where to save the file, but when the download starts, the progress bar remains at 0%.
Does anyone know what causes this?

There's no such thing as Final Cut HD 5.0.4. If what you really have is Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, then you should be able to capture and edit HDV. But, you haven't told us what camcordr you have, so it's difficult to help.
The usual procdure for resolving this situation looks something like this:
1) With the camcorder powered on and connected, open System Profiler, and see if it sees the camcorder. (SP is in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
2) If SP sees it, then with FCP not running, power down the camcorder, then start Final Cut again. When the window opens saying FCP can't find your HDV device, power on the camcorder and click continue. Try it again.
3) If Log & Capture doesn't see it, then Quit FCP, shut down the Mac, power down the camcorder. Wait 20 seconds. Power up the camcorder, boot up again, open FCP & try it.
4) If L&C still doesn't see it, then trash your FCP preferences, and try it again.
5) Report back here.
EDIT: You are using the HDV Easy Setup, aren't you?

Playing a Macromedia Flash movie in Java?

Is there a way to make an applet play a Flash movie (.swf) inside it?
I want a Java program to open a ServerSocket and play a Flash movie that will be something like a chat.
I know how to build a chat, you don't have to tell me about it...
I'm just asking, is there a way to have a Flash Movie inside the programs Frame ???
Thanks...

And I don't get how to control the flash file: Are methods like TPlay and SetVariable availble to Java?
It would be great if they are - using them through JavaScript is glitchy.

How do I center my flash movie in dreamweaver

Hi!!
I currently have a behavior assigned to a slice I made in
imageready. In dreamweaver I assigned a pop up browser
window to it...it will be a link to a flash movie(.swf) I
made, but I don't know how to alter the code to make the browser
window centered on the screen!! Right now it opens on the top of
the screen.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!!

Thanks Gorka,
I looked it up and found this useful summary:
http://probertson.com/articles/2006/12/14/deep-linking-flash-application-states/
However, I'm now trying to figure out how write the flahs
vars so it can see what section / folder the page is in so that the
swf knows to play the same frames for both
swinsidelodge-hotel.co.uk/pages/hotel/awards.php and
swinsidelodge-hotel.co.uk/pages/hotel/guest-comments.php. So
basically it doesn't look at the last bit of the url but the first
bit... I would like the flash vars to be dynamic so that when the
client adds a new subpage in one of the sections the swf will still
know which frames to play.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Konrad
