Flash appear in wrong size in Captivate

Hi all,
I create a 200x200 pixels animation in Flash and when i
imported it in Captivate, it increased the animation size to
550x400. Any idea why?, and how do i fix it?
thanks

Captivate does not resize your animations. Open the animation
dialog (double-click it on the timeline) and go to the tab labeled
"Size and Position" (or something like that). Change the size to
the 200x200 you want, and close the dialog. That should do it for
you.

Flash appearing in wrong part of browser window.

I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with IE 9. For the past week or so any webpage i visit with flash shows the flash animation n the upper left corner of the browser window and not in the proper place on the webpage. everything from videos to advertisements always appear in the wrong place. I have to click on the part of the webpage where its supposed to be to make it play and not on the animation thats on the wrong part of the page.
Here is a screen shot of whats im talking about. The chart is supposed to be centered on the page and down under the button thats says refresh charts.

Firefox opens flash content in wrong size and bad quality.

I created flash content (virtual tour) in fixed size 800x600. There is a script which opens the content in new window but Mozilla opens just a cropped part of it. Even after maximizing the content the flash remains still cropped. There is also a problem with images inside the content because they are played in low quality. Other browsers do not have this problem and also screens with higher resolution (desktops) show it correctly on Mozilla.
Any suggestions?

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

Printer prints wrong size

Running windows XP

I tried this question in the Home and Network printing forum, and after 4 days, not one person has replied, much less had an answer.
Recently, my HP 2570 has been printing certain files the wrong size. I have a graphics design program (basically line art) which is supposed to print my design at actual size. The design has a background of a 1" by 1" grid.
Until recently, I have had no problems. Now, when I try to print a design, the print preview shows the image as it should appear, but the printed image is reduced to about 87% of the actual size. This is easy to verify - I measure the spacing of the grid lines - they are 7/8" apart.
I printed the same design on two different days, and the two printed images are NOT the same size.
The only thing which I can find which seems unusual is that when I look at the printer driver details, I find FIVE different files. They are:
C:\\windows\system32\drivers\serscan.sys
.....................................hpotiop2.dll
.....................................hpovst09.dll
.....................................hpowiamd.dll
.....................................hpzc3212.dll
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here(to make sure there are no software issues causing the problem):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

CVI2010 sizeof-operator returns a wrong size of a struct

Hi,
in CVI2010 the sizeof-operator returns a wrong size of a struct, if it contains 4 bytes and other spaces. I suppose the adresses in the struct are also not like a c-programmer thinks. First a minimalistic code-example:
typedef struct
char oneByte;
long fourByte;
} TestStruct;
void main( )
   int size;
   TestStruct tmpVar;
   size = sizeof( TestStruct );
    // here is size=8 instead of 5
Since the last years and the last cvi-versions i had ever compiled
with the Borland-compiler, that returns the correct size. Because in CVI 2010 the Borland-compiler is
not included, i'm trying to use the standard build-In compiler. In my opinion the compiler seems to optimize the code in a way, my
project can't work with.
Because i'm reading the struct direct out of binary files i'm searching for a, not code based, solution.
Is it possible to deactivate the relevant optimization?
Thanks for your help and answer.
Markus
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The compiler can have different alignments for struct fields: a usual behaviour is to have them aligned on a 4-byte boundary, that is every field starts on a multiple of 4 bytes from the beginning of the struct in memory. This appears to be the behaviour of the compiler you are using at the moment, which returns 8 as the size of the struct having aligned the fields.
Struct alignment can be modified with an appropriate #pragma preprocessor instruction: adding #pragma pack (1); in your code instructs the compiler to pack structure fields without padding; after this instruction sizeof will return the 5-bytes dimension you are expecting.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Flash Drag and Drop Template in Captivate. *HELP*

Good morning.
I am attempting to use the drag and drop learning interaction
that comes pre-packaged with Flash CS3 and import it into Captivate
for use in a Captivate based e-learning exercise.
I create the drag and drop just fine in Flash, and it looks
perfect when I publish it in Flash, etc.
When I attempt to use the EXACT same SWF in Captivate,
however, it does not work. I can move the drags around the screen,
but they will not "drop" where they are supposed to.
Thinking maybe I broke the template, I went ahead and just
imported it 100% unchanged from Flash into Captivate (without me
messing around with it changing things around) and it does the
exact same thing.
I have successfully used my own homemade flash "widgets" in
Captivate, to include like click and reveal type interactions...for
whatever reason, though, I can't get this one to work, even though
I know it works perfectly in Flash.
The .swf file was developed using ActionScript 2.0 in Flash
and I tried publishing it with Flash 9 and Flash 8 as the setting,
both do the same thing.
Help!!!?
Thanks.
Rob

Hi R
Note that the Border simply adds space to the project so the
playback controls aren't covering part of your movie. Assuming you
want that to continue AND have a playback control, you might resize
the project so the playback control is included in the main movie
as well as being placed in an area that doesn't possibly obscure
any screen activity.
Cheers... Rick

Photos keep appearing the wrong way round in slideshow!

Photos which I imported from my old macbook (running 10.4) onto my new imac (10.5.8) keep appearing the wrong way round or stretched out when I play them as part of a slideshow even though in the library they appear fine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
Thanks

Yes the plist file is important, but next time you start iPhoto it will create a brand new one.
This file records various user settings - like the background colour, for instance. If you trash it then when iPhoto re-creates it it simply returns things to the factory default settings.
Trashing the plist file is troubleshooting 101.
Also don't understand what you mean by "If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again"
By default, your iPhoto Library lives in your Pictures Folder. That's where iPhoto looks for it. If you've moved the Library - and I'm guessing you haven't - then you need to tell iphoto where you moved it to. Why? Because that's a setting recorded in the plist file.

Create custom document with wrong size

Hi,
I have a problem (on Sun Solaris 5.8) when I create custom document with more than 10MB size.
I've created an agent which detects the events on a custom data type
MYDOCUMENT (extension .mydoc).
When I put a new document test1.mydoc (size of 10MB for example), my agent detects the new document, creates a copy, sets the class object to
MYDOCUMENT , removes the original document and puts the copy into the same folder.
But sometimes, the copy created has a wrong size (less then 10MB).
How can I configure the nfs server to be sure that the agent waits for the complete size of the added document.
I need HELP !!!!
Thanks

Hi Pavithra,
yeah you can create your custom table by entering fields in Standard. for more details

PDF is the wrong size from framemaker 8

I am trying to create a PDF from Framemaker 8. The page size of the doc is US letter (216mm x 279mm)
I am tring to change this to A4 (210mm x 297mm). Margins or extra white space is not an issue.
Not matter what setting I change in Framemaker 8, either in the print dialog under "PDF setup" or in "Setup"
where I am changing everything to A4 my PDF generates as 210mm x 279mm
I have tried various job options and but still the PDF is the wrong size
FYI I am using Frame 8/Distiller 9..

Help: JPanel/JFrame display complexities, wrong size

I am trying to make a simple game of worms.I wan't to draw a rectangle in the center of the window where in the middle the game is played and on the outside score, lives and other such things are displayed. The problem is the rectangle won't draw properly because the window is the wrong size and I don't know if it is something I am doing wrong with the panel or frame.

            animator.start();

        f.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
        f.setVisible(true);
        wp.startGame();
}Somewhere in there is my problem.
What happens is that the right and bottom walls of the Rectangle are cut off of the screen because the window is not the right size. I changed the code to determine if the coordinates of the walls were accurate every iteration and they were. I also made it check the width and height every iteration by printing out this.getWidth() and this.getHeight() and found that instead of a 600 x 400 window, I have a 584 x 364. I also tried changing the panel and frame's size methods to make a new dimension instead of setting it directly from my constants and it had no effect. I also added directly to those constants to make it precisely 600 x 400 but the rectangle is still cut off, so maybe I also have a graphics issue. The only other potential issue I can think of is that I have Vista but I looked around here and searched google and found no similar issues to this.
I am not new to java but I am also not advanced. I just started using java again after about 6 months and I have made a pong game before without this problem, on another computer though.I am at my wits end. I'll check for responses tomorrow and thank you for any help or insight you can offer.

the problem is here
walls = new Rectangle(50, 50, WIDTH - 50, HEIGHT - 50);
at best the right/bottom walls will equal the frame's dimensions. try it as
walls = new Rectangle(50, 50, WIDTH - 100, HEIGHT - 100);
but this won't get you exactly what you want, due to the titlebar height (30?)
slightly different version
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class DemoWormPanel extends JPanel {
    private static final int WIDTH = 600, HEIGHT = 400;
    public DemoWormPanel() {
        setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH-100,HEIGHT-100));
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DemoWormPanel wp = new DemoWormPanel();
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.add(wp,new GridBagConstraints());

Site previews fine in Firefox locally, but when I published the site all the text is the wrong size

I am a rookie web designer. I recently created a site using CS6. http://www.joshuahetzler.com When I previewed the site in Dreamweaver it looked good in Firefox and IE. I published the site and now it is messed up in Firefox. All the text is the wrong size. Does anyone know how to fix this? Does it have something to do with my hosting provider? (I deleted a wordpress site from the directory an hourago and put this new site in its place) Why does IE display properly, but not Firefox...

Caused by a bad link to your site's CSS file. This is pointing to a file on your local hard drive which nobody but you can see.
<link href="file:///C|/hetzlerj/jhgc/menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Open your template and reconcile the path to your site folder. It should probably look like this:
<link href="../menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Save Template. Populate changes to Child pages. Upload Child pages.

Flash appears to install on Win 7, IE 8but will not display

32 bit Windows 7
IE 8, 32 bit
FP 10.2.152.32
FP S/W installation windows indicate that FP installed (Download Manager also says so)
FP & Download Manager are both shown in Programs.
History: Few weeks ago system was severely corrupted even though had McAfee Viruscan and Webroot Spysweeper. It was indicated every time an attempt to look at a video was made wherepon the computer would shutdown a few seconds afterwards. Working w/ Dell Support they determined the system was too far corrupted to save (7000+ files corrupted!!). They suggested that it would be preferable to install W 7 to replace then current XP operating system. Had disk formatted and XP operating system re-installed but only sufficient to allow operation of email. When Windows 7 arrived fully installed along w/ new Word/Excel 2010 S/W. Retrieved backuped files successfully. Everything is operating OK except for FP. Every attempt to load (after repeated uninstalls) shows it to be "successful" but still won't allow videos to play.
Based on perusal of thread, opened register to check on "kill-bit", found no indication it was set.
What should I do next?

Hi, what a terrible experience to have to go thru! I hope you don't still have either one of those "Anti-Virus" programs on your system. If not, what Anti-Virus/Spyware program(s) do you have?
Yes it was terrible, but Dell (Solution Station, paid support) made this sickening experience bearable. Right now I have McAfee Total Protection 2011 for what it's worth (ya gotta have something) and I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version) twice a day to scan. The only thing it finds repeatedly is something in the registry defined as : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\...
So I can understand this, you now have Win7 on the computer? The backup files are from the XP that had the 7000 corrupted files?? When you reformatted XP, weren't those files lost? I guess what I need to know is how did those files get Installed onto the Win7 OS?
Here's the sequence of events: I back up periodically with a WD My Book Essentials external drive, assuring that the system is as clean as I can get it and otherwise operating normally. I don't do it continuously for fear that I could be backing up corrupted files right up to the point the disk crashes The back up that was used was about six weeks old. The 7000+ corrupted files were cleaned before reformatting but would have been lost regardless when the disk was reformatted. After it was reformatted and before installation of W7, the Dell reinstallation disk for XP was used. No backup files were loaded on this temporary XP system. When the W7 system was installed these backup files from the external drive were cleaned with Malwarebyes which found about 20 corrupted files. Since then only two have regularly appeared , they are in the registry defined as: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\def...
Also why wasn't the malware cleaned before reformatting?
As indicated above, it was cleaned but never used again since it was all lost with the reformatting. The reinstalled software came from a six week old backup which has worked well and shows none of the malware, except for the few Malwarebytes intially found.
One other thing, I revisited the "kill-bit" procedure. While I didn't find what you indicated, I did find these two entries with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ :
      Name                        Type                    Data
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            (value not set)
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            application/x-shockwave-flash
Also, I was looking at your procedure in post #26, in response to jfirko where a vs 9 of FP is installed/uninstalled followed by the current version of FP. For my situation is this a worthwile approach?
By the way, thanks for your interest in solving these problems. So many programs now use the flash player but there are so few sources to turn to when problems occur.

Landscape Orientation: [view bounds] gives wrong sizes?

Hi
Getting a view's bounds rect while in Landscape Mode returns the wrong sizes:
Starting from a new UIView Template Project, I'm adding a single UIView to the ViewController in Interface Builder (in Landscape Mode) and setting the view size to width=400, height=200;
However when I add a breakpoint in the ViewController (at viewDidAppear), the sizes are w=220, h=380!
(Even though the view clearly is correct on the screen)
In myViewController.m I've set:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight); // home button on right
In myAppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
application.statusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight; //home on right
[window addSubview:viewController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
and in the info.plist I've set: Initial interface orientation = Landscape (right home button)
I'm not trying to rotate the view with the iPhone, it is meant to be fixed in Landscape only.
Is there a workaround for this? I need to create some CALayers dependent on the correct view size.
Thanks
Steve

Reading Blob with wrong size

Hi,
I stored a .jpg file in a BLOB using Oracle 9i.
When i try to read it, i get the wrong size for the Blob.length() ...
Please can someone help ...
File file = new File(fileLoc);
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
long length = file.length();
OutputStream outstream = blob.setBinaryStream(length);
byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)length];
int readlength = -1;
while ((readlength = is.read(buffer)) != -1)
outstream.write(buffer, 0, readlength);
is.close();
outstream.flush();
outstream.close();
// TRY TO READ NOW
// Here comes some JDBC stuff ...
File newFile = new File("blob.jpg");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
InputStream is2 = blob2.getBinaryStream();
byte[] bb = new byte[(int)blob2.length()];
int readlength2 = -1;
while ((readlength2 = is2.read(bb)) != -1)
fos.write(bb, 0, readlength2);
is2.close();
fos.flush();
fos.close();

I don't see anything wrong with it myself... assuming that your changes are being committed somewhere...
Somewhere in the collection of examples at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
is a good working example with a CLOB, which should be the just about the same. I think there was also a BLOB example, but I'm not sure...
