Flash 8 Movie Link Problems...

Ok I have created a short flash vid for my front page all
works as planed and on the last scene I have put in 3 buttons.
These links direct to the same page and that work fine. I then
finished the page these link to and I want to direct there link
directly to a specific area on the page. So I created anchors on
the page and edited the actions for these buttons and added in the
anchor name to the link as so:
getURL("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Peter Crawley\\My
Documents\\Web\\PCC Group Web Site Files\\Its About..html#time",
"_self");
Now when I click on each button they link to the top of the
page and do not direct to the anchors I specified. Now I am more
than likely doing something very stupid. I haven't done this before
so it is a bit new to me.
Could you have a look and see if I am doing something wrong
please.
Thanks

system requirements for flash 8 do not support ME - Me is an
outdated OS that is no longer supported
by Microsoft (if it is supported I don't think it will be for
much longer). The sytem requirements
for Flash are found on the product page. If you are serious
about using Flash, you may want to
consider upgrading your OS to XP.

Hi users,
Thanks for reply.
Actually the problem is -
For portrait dimensions are -
width 20
height 30
for landscape , obviously it will be
width - 30
height - 20
Thus , for second page - table width is 20 while page width is 30 and so 10 cm space remains blank on right side of page
user says that right side should not be blank, rather you extend table width to whole page width.
thats where the problem is

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.

Flash Builder Link Problem

Whenever I try to access links in Flash Builder such as those on the Start Page, Device Connection Help in Run Configurations or even Find and Download other versions of Flex SDK in the Flex Configuration window it opens up a blank Notepad window with an error "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? I assume it is supposed to open up a web page.

Wow, problem solved. I thought it was weird when I installed Flash Builder 4.7 and it was still happening. Apparently at some point I set Notepad.exe as the default program to open HTML files and did not realize it.
I feel kind of dumb now but as every other program was working (heck, links even worked in Flash Professional) I was so sure it was a Flash Builder problem.
Anyway, I am just glad to have the mystery solved.

Vi location move linking problems?

Hi all,
I have a few questions about VI organization, lvlib, and vi linking. I am trying to structure my code in such a way,
so that I will have a couple of libraries that contains subvis that we can use accross a few memebers in our team. I
am doing the code development on my harddrive right now, and eventally, it will be transfered to a network location.
My questions are the following:
1. When I transfer all the files to another location, how do I fixed the linking among files, since the files are
going to freak when I moved all the files to another location. Or, would you suggest that I take another approach?
2. Is the structure below the best way to organize my files if I want to create a bunch of subvis for future use?
Notice that the lvlib for a particular subvis is outside of the subvi's folder. I just want to centralized all the
libraries. If there is a better way, let me know.
Thanks!
LV Code
- Library
- Subvi1 Folder
    - contains vi, ctl, and everything that pertain to Subvi1
- Subvi2 Folder
    - contains vi, ctl, and everything that pertain to Subvi2
- Subvi3 Folder
    - contains vi, ctl, and everything that pertain to Subvi3
- Subvi4 Folder
    - contains vi, ctl, and everything that pertain to Subvi4
- lvlib file for Subvi1 and subvi2
- lvlib file for subvi3 and subvi4
- Test
- Test 1
- Test 2
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

OK First I have got to caution you to use a Source Code Control application
so that I will have a couple of libraries that contains subvis that we can use accross a few memebers in our team. I
am doing the code development on my harddrive right now, and eventally, it will be transfered to a network location.
Secondly I would challenge your folder structure.
At CCI My SCC database is structured:
LV_Vers
     >Projects
> Proj A
                >Main
>Globals
>UI
>Tasks
>Documentation
   Proj B
          >Main
>Globals
>UI
>Tasks
>Documentation
Reuse
   Utilities
UI
Report
Error
Time
   Drivers
Device A
Device B
Eval code
Allow the SCC provider to set the local path on each target machine (In VSS this is the "Checkout Folder") and provide some guidance to the users in your team to maintain consistancy in the root path for the SCC Database.

Flash Movie has problems in IE and Safari

Hi, my website's home page works like a charm in FireFox and
uses flashplayer to play, yet, in Internet Explorer and Safari, it
uses Shockwave to play everything. And at that, Shockwave doesn't
play it!
Will someone please check in one of these two browsers on
their computer to check whether it works for them?

Here's the source for that page, note that the codebase url

DW CS4: How to play a Flash Movie in a NEW window after clicking a link or a button on a page?

Hi, using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, I would like to have a link or a button on a webpage that when clicked will play a Flash Movie in a new window.
Using the 'Insert Panel' > Media: FLV I managed to insert the .flv file on the page, but the movie plays 'in line' instead of in a new window. So far I can't find any 'Properties' or settings to change this behaviour. E.g. like Target _blank for opening e.g. a .pdf in a new Window.
> Please help.
Thank you!

Try using one of the popular javascript methods for this. I use shadowbox and you can find examples, info and a download here: http://www.shadowbox-js.com

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Problems with fullScreenSourceRect in nested Flash movie

I've got a Flash movie I'm updating to add the fullscreen
property to my clients' videos. Problem is I've added all the
necessary ActionScript and HTML code as Labs suggests and the
fullscreen property does work but not exactly. The video FLV
Playback component is nested inside of another .swf movie via an
empty movie clip on the stage. And that MC is not at 0,0. Problem
is when I go fullscreen even though I get the right width and
heights of the rectangle from the fullScreenSourceRect property.
The X and Y are out of wack and not in the right place. So is there
a way I can change the following property so it knows where X and Y
really are instead of 0,0?
Stage["fullScreenSourceRect"] = new Rectangle(
feature.x, feature.y,
feature.width, feature.height);

the CSS z Index setting is the ticket...

Flash root Movie Resize Problem

Greetings ladies and gentlemen,
I have been going round and round in circles, trying to solve
this annoying little problem, and have just ended up biting myself
in the small of the back. I need help from someone who really knows
their flash.
My problem is this - I have a parent flash movie of size
900x800. I have a button inside this parent that then loads an
external swf (size 300x200) into an empty mc in the parent. My
problem is that when the external swf loads, it resizes the parent
movie (or repositions it depending on whether I am using IE or
Firefox).
I can't seem to work out why or how it's happening, and it
happens whether I use the standard Flash embedding or the swfobject
method for my HTML page that the movie is embedded in.
The actionscript code in the parent is very basic:
but1.onRelease = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mp3_player",
getNextHighestDepth());
mp3_player._x = 240;
mp3_player._y = 390;
mp3_player.loadMovie("mp3player.swf");
I can't imagine why the root movie jumps down in size when
the button is pressed and the external swf loaded. Please, could
anyone shed some light?
My html file has the following embedding:

Yep. I have the same problem and I have searched every forum
on the web and have spent hours messing with AS. If anyone has a
clue please throw us a bone.
Thanks,
Dr-Clegg

Linking for a flash movie

I am using the Adobe work around for the "click to activate"
issue, and the flash movie that I want to launch is going to be
launched from a link.
here is what I have:
javascript:
function demo()
document.write('<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
height="200">\n');
document.write('<param name="movie" value="demo.swf"
/>\n');
document.write('<param name="quality" value="high"
/>\n');
document.write('<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="demo.swf"
height="200"></embed>\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
and the link looks like this:
<a href="javascript:demo()" target="_blank">View Demo
here</a>
what am I doing wrong? the window launchs, but the movie
won't play
I need help with this immediately as it has to go live this
afternoon!!!!!

Can you show us what you have tried? Which version of Flash
are you using? Which version of Actionscript?

Problems with exporting flash movie to AVI movie

Hi, I have created a flash movie with motion tweens for my lettering and added external images for my backgrounds and symbols to create a presentation. The presentation works perfect in Flash, but the problem is when I export it to an AVI movie, the lettering is totally gone for each slide and only the images of backgrounds and symbols are working.
I keeping getting an error in the output box everytime I play the movie in flash:
Error opening URL 'http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml'
I don't know if this helps.

Not sure you posted this issue to the correct forum. This is the Adobe Connect Forum not the Flash forum. You might get better results in the Flash forum.
I think your conversion tool is doing that. Maybe another one would be better.

Problems inserting flash movie into webpage

I am trying to insert 2 different flash movies on one webpage
One is a banner made in flash cs4 that works fine.
The other is a movie that I encoded with flash cs4 from a m4v file. When i test this file using the flash player on my computer everything works fine.
When i try to play on the webpage it shows there is flash object in dreamweaver but is blank in webbrowser.(right clicking shows there is flash there but nothing loads)
I have managed to get the movie working on a completly blank html file except that there are no controls (controls work fine in the flash player on computer)
As far as I can deduce it's not the html file because one swf file works ok
It's not how i'm inserting it onto the page because dreamweaver is doing it for me(and including the nessecary javascript etc)
It's not the movie because that works in the flash player on it's own.
So i'm stumped
any ideas guys?
(if it's any help the webpage it's on is www.csdrummer.co.uk , click on top right image on sidebar, has play button, under navigation)
Thanks
Jamie

I'm sorry I missunderstood the post from earlier. If I add the flv file in dreamweaver and upload the corresponding swf all works well but the flv file is 45mb which is a bit large for a 3 min video.
What i would like to do is turn this into a swf file. But this is where the problem is happening. THe swf when i export from flash wont work, comes up in the browser as doesn't load

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
