Flash banner Exporting trouble

Ok...
I have just made a banner in Flash CS3 and it all seemed to
be working perfectly. I wanted to export the banner as an animated
GIF. So i go through "Publish Settings" to find this and then i
publish it and this is where everything goes wrong.
When i view my finished animated GIF in "my pictures" (where
it was published to), there is squashed up text covering the
majority of the banner.
I have pasted a link to the animated GIF in which i uploaded
to photobucket in hope that someone will be able to tell me what is
wrong and how to fix this problem.

I have created another banner since, and im having the same
problem again.

.mov to flash banner ad via media encoder, size issues

Looking for some compression feedback, as I cannot get the results dialed in thru Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
Creating a flash banner ad, 11 seconds total, with 5 seconds of video from final cut. The size of the exported .mov is 784 KB, and I still have to hit a target of less than 60KB (yikes) on the final FLV export for the ad specs. Anyone had any luck here in these type of productions? When I convert to FLV (heavily compressed) and import into timeline of flash as embedded file, keeps increasing in size, hovering just below the 1MB mark. Without the video, the flash ad is at 20KB, so I really only have 40KB to work with.
When I open the FCP .MOV in Quicktime Pro and "export for web," I see a small file size of 4KB, could it really be that compressed?
But when I bring that 4KB file into Media Encoder, it goes over the 60KB limit.
Also, should note that final ad needs to be Flash 7 friendly...
Your input is appreciated.

Predicated on info in the other THREAD, I will now ammend my previous post:
2.) Assets - that's why I asked
3.) Project - could still be a possibility
Looks like the Bug is still in the running and gaining fast.
Have you filed a Bug Report/Feature Request with the data that you've furnished in your two thread?
Good luck,

How to publish a flash banner without generating errors?

I need to upload a flash banner every time a condition is
verified. But I have troubles from the HTML code I use to call the
flash banner.
<CFIF #file# IS "fox">
<div><object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

vspace="0" hspace="0"></embed></object></div>
</CFIF>
The error i receive is:
Just in time compilation error
Invalid parser construct found on line 30 at position 220
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:
=
Invalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in the
expression structure.
This error is generated by the HTML code inside the CFIF tags
because if I change the code between the conditional tags CFIF, it
works fine.
Exemple:
<CFIF #file# IS "fox">
<div>
Now it works correctly!
</div>
</CFIF>
Please could you suggest me how to resolve this trouble?
Than You,

Flash banner won't play

If I'm posting this in the wrong section, could someone tell me
the correct place to post this up at?
I'm using Flash CS3
First, please view the new site i'm building (Using DW CS3)
http://intensittv.com
I'm afriad i'm going to need a little step by step direction
here.
There is suppose to be a 5 second flash banner/intro i built
up at the very top.
All I see is an empty brown box where it's suppose to be.
I have everything uploaded to the server. The rendered html
and the swf files.
I thought I had all the paths right.
One other piece of trouble I'm having is when I go to press
play in the Properties inspector, same thing. nothing plays. just
an empty brown box.
what am i doing wrong?

I think it's stuck on some opening frame. Right click on the
brown area and select Play.

Publishing custom flash banner???

Hi,
I have made a flash Banner for my friends website. It is
intended for my wordpress blog and on myspace etc. The dimensions
are 468x60 and it all works.
Trouble is I don't know how I would go about embedding it
into a profile using html or php. I know I would have to load it up
on to a server and link it from there. I've tried but I keep
getting error messages. When I looked at how the html is put
together when I put the swf into a webpage in dreamweaver I get a
bit lost.
Is there an easy fix to this problem, i.e. somewhere I
caninput the swift and have them generate the code for the desired
profile? Or can you advise where to look for a solution through
educating myself on the problem
Thanks

0k i followed a tutorial and got it up on my myspace profile.
However, I had a flv in the swf of an old style video as a
background which doesnot show in the banner. Do I have to upload
the flv with the swf?
PS: find attached the code used to embed the flash
banner

Help with Flash Banner Opening on every page

Hey guys I been trying to optimize my site abit. I seen on
some new flash templates that when the flash banner opens the first
time the browser will not call it again when clicking on new page
links. I also seen the banner incorperated with an iframe so it
only calls it once.
Currently I have 6 .html pages each calling the flash banner
every time their clicked. This is taking loading time whenever a
user browses to a different page.
my site is
http://xpservers.net
and another i created is
http://energreenmetering.com
Can someone help me out ?

A 5.6MB file is way too big for a Flash movie to stream easily, even over DSL. Even 1 MB is pretty big for a Flash movie. A loading status indicator requires programming using the Flash authoring application.
The Flash export from keynote is probably not compressing the images a lot. Also the size of the presentation (800x600) is pretty large, and this is giving you a big file.
Try searching versiontracker.com for other slideshow tools with Flash export that will allow you to create a smaller canvas and compress your images more. But be aware that a series of bitmaps will always create a large Flash movie.
Good luck!

Html link to specific photo in flash web export

I want to send someone links to specific images in my flash web export. I know I can direct them to the source image file, but I want them to see it in the flash export interface. Is there a way I can make a duplicate copy of the index.html and edit the start image and save as another name, or would I have to copy and alter the flash file?

You can't do a direct link to the image witht the built-in Flash movie. If you need to do this often, consider getting the SlideShowPro web engine and switching on "permalinks".
But to resolve your existing problem, it is fiddly. I assume you want the rest of the web gallery to work, so copy the index.html file, and then look for a folder called resources\mediaGroupData and make a copy of the file group.xml, so you have two xml files in that folder. What you would need to do is edit this "copy.xml" so it only lists your picture. Then back to your copy of index.html and replace any references to group.xml with copy.xml. I told you it was fiddly!

Space issue in Firefox related to Flash banner

I have a website with validated XHTML and CSS that displays an unwanted space only in Firefox under a Flash banner. The site has been tested in IE6/7/8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, AOL, and Netscape. Firefox is the only problem. After posting this issue to Experts Exchange, it was determined that the code Dreamweaver generates to insert Flash causes the problem. An expert on that site originally thought there were two instances of the object and removed what handles IE. The site then displayed correctly in all other browsers, but would continuously try to load the Flash file in IE. Obviously, that is not the resolution. I have tried inserting various IECCs without finding the right combination. -- The live site is http://www.imfgsol.com. The test page that contains code suggested by Experts Exchange is http://www.imfgsol.com/default2.html -- I would great appreciate any help resolving this issue!! Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help! Adding the param, removing the IECCs, and correcting the tag closing resolved the issue. The http://www.imfgsol.com/default2.html page now loads in IE 6/7/8 and validates.
For anyone that might have this issue, following was the problem and resolution:
When inserting a Flash banner using Dreamweaver, the following code was created:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="963" height="113" class="imgpad" vspace="0" id="FlashID" title="Innovative Manufacturing Solutions">
      <param name="movie" value="images/IMSbanner.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      
      
      <object data="images/IMSbanner.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="963" height="113" vspace="0">
        
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <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="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
          </div>
        
        </object>
      
    </object>
The display was fine in all browsers other than Firefox. In Firefox, an unwanted space was created due to the way it read the IE code. The space below the banner is illustrated here:
By removing the separate objects and IECCs and adding the param as suggested, there is no longer a space in Firefox and the display is correct in IE 6/7/8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, AOL, and Netscape. The code that works correctly is:
<object data="images/IMSbanner.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="963" height="113" vspace="0">
        <param name="movie" value="images/IMSbanner.swf" />

How do I make my flash banner change frames on a timer?

Hello, I'm new to flash and I recently just made a flash banner where you can click buttons to change frames. I also want to add the ability for it to automatically change frames after 7 seconds. I've put all of the pictures on the same frame and gave them frame labels. What would be the actionscript code I should use to make this work, along with making the buttons still functional? Also, how can I put buttons to go to the last frame from the first, and first to the last, while still making them stop at every frame? I keep trying and nothing's working.
If you'd like a more in-depth look, I've provided the .FLA file here:
http://uppit.com/v/ZJOKIQ59
The easiest way to explain it would be to re-upload an .FLA file with all of the above completed bug-free, and show me how you did it. I hope I'm not asking too much with that, but I would be able then to take a look at it and compare it to my code to learn it myself.
Thanks in advance for any help! =]

Well I done some more work this time. As i had some problems uploading files I'v made these screanshots.
- On the first frame add just this:
var secTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,7);
startTimer();
- The actual code is on the second frame:
//secTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tik);
secTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, skipFrameT);
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNextFrame);
function playNextFrame(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(currentFrame < 50){
resetTimer();
play();
else{
resetTimer();
gotoAndPlay(2);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, previousFrame);
function previousFrame(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(currentFrame <= 11){
gotoAndPlay(42);
else{
gotoAndPlay((currentFrame-10));
resetTimer();
/*function tik(e:TimerEvent):void {
trace("frame ",currentFrame,", tick", secTimer.currentCount);
function startTimer():void {
secTimer.start();
//trace ("timer Started");
function skipFrameT(e:TimerEvent):void {
//trace ("time stoped");
if(currentFrame < 50){
play();
else{
gotoAndPlay(2);
resetTimer();
function resetTimer() {
trace("Timer Reseted");
secTimer.reset();
startTimer();
- Remove your code for the buttons;
- And use 10 frames spaceing for the images:
2 to 11; 11 to 21; 21 to 31... and so on.
Hope this will be real help now.

Problem with a flash banner in a php includes

I am creating a site that has many pages and I made an includes file for the header of the page that contains my navigation bar, i then made a template of the page to use for all my pages.
Now I have created a flash banner that i want to play in the header of all my pages but i´m having problems getting it to show on all the pages.
Firstly I added the flash swf into my includes file and inserted the flash into the includes file page using insert flash from the dreamweaver menu (code below):
<?php $currentPage=basename ($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);?>
<script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id ="adBanner">
<script type="text/javascript">

    <param name="quality" value="high" />

<p><a href="contact.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'contact.php') {echo 'id="here"';}?>>Contact Us</a></p>
<p><a href="advertise.php?ad=y" <?php if ($currentPage == 'advertise.php') {echo 'id="here"';}?>>Advertise</a></p>
<p> </p>
    </div>
Great the flash ad works when I load the includes page in a browser and when i look at all my other pages that have the link to the includes file the flash file shows as a grey box with F in the center, however if i load any of these pages into a browser the flash ad does not show.
I also tried doing exactly the same, adding the flash to the header of my template and saving it. However this did not update all of the pages that use the template, the flash ad would play in the browser if I load the template in the browser. (in this instance the actual swf file was in my templates folder with the template page).
The final thing i tried was just to add the flash to one of my pages just to see if it would work when i loaded the page into a browers, it didn´t and i don´t understand why as it worked on the includes page and template page. (the swf file in this case was in the file along with all the pages of my site).
It doesn´t seem that i have a problem with the actual flash banner, i just cannot seem to put it in the pages that i want to.
Any help or input in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I don't know if this will be of any help but I have a flash rotator that I use on a few pages setup in a seperate file as well, here is the code from my include file
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="884" height="402" id="myFlashContent">
    <param name="movie" value="/Image-Rotator-V2.swf" />
    
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/Image-Rotator-V2.swf" width="884" height="402">
    
     <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
      <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
     </a>
    
    </object>
    
</object>
I also added the following to the head section of the page the flash is used on.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Flash banner in a Dreamweaver Template

Hi all,
I am using one of the provided Dreamweaver Templates (CSS).
All is fine, except that for some reason it does not like Flash
imports. I can alter the template as much as I like and it will
always successfully change across the site, BUT if I try to insert
a Flash movie/banner into the template - then it does not appear of
ANY of the site files. The only way I can see the flash banner, is
if I open the template.php file in a browser - then you can see
that it is in fact there and working - but for some reason the
other pages refuse to acknolwegde it. Images / Tables / Text - all
work fine - just not flash banners. I even tried saving the banner
as a JPG file in Flash, then sticking the JPG file in the template
where the banner should - and it worked perfectly, but as a .swf
extension it fails.
Am I missing something?
Nathan

> BUT if I try to insert a Flash movie/banner into the
template - then it
> does not appear of ANY of the site files.
Because of the active content .js fix, when you insert a .swf
file into a
template, you must use a Site Root relative path for it.
Open the .dwt template file.
Double-click on the .swf in design view- the "browse to file"
dialog box
should come up showing the currently selected file.
look in the bottom of that dialog box for the pulldown to
change from
document relative path to site root relative path. Change it
to site root.
click okay and save the file, and let changes propagate.
does it show in the child files now?
[note- It may still not show during local preview because
site root relative
paths in javascript will not make any sense during local
preview- they
should work fine on the remote host if the site has it's own
domain name
though]

Flash Album Exporter in iFrame problem. Greybox not working as expected

Hello all,
I've searched and I can't find the solution or any info on the problem elsewhere.
I've used Flash Album Exporter for the grey box effect. This appears perfectly here
http://web.me.com/james.veitch/BoxReviews.index.html
However, it's aligned to the left hand side; I can't get it to centre and there's more text I want to put on. So I thought I'd put it in an iFrame. The moment I do that, things go wrong. Here
http://web.me.com/james.veitch/KeatsinHampstead/Home2.html
For some reason it won't load the images. What am I doing wrong? Also, is there any way to change the thumbnail images?
Thanks in advance,
James.

James:
First, I can't get your first link to work. Removing the ".index.html" from the link does get the flash to load and play.
For some reason that particular flash presentation won't work in an iFrame/HTML snippet. Have you tried using a different FAE theme to see if you can get it to work in the iFrame. I've been able to get several to work in my demo sites: SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter and Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes.

Problems zooming out with a Flash Banner

I have created a Flash banner for the home page of my website. Here is the link to the page I am working on: http://adirondackvic.org/CSSTest9July2012-2.html
When I zoom in to increase the size of the web page, the Flash banner rescales automatically. However, when I zoom out, to decrease the size of the web page, the Flash banner does not automatically rescale. It remains the same size and you have to hit the refresh button to get it to rescale to fit the newly resized page.
Is there a fix for this? I searched the forum and the web and have not found an answer. I put a question on this in another forum, but received no responses. I found some discussions of the issue on the web and on this forum, but I was not able to figure out how to incorporate the suggestions into my page. I tried changing the scale from exactfit to showall, as recommended, but that created a problem with the appearance of the page. (The banner no longer fit properly into the header window.) I also tried (as recommended by one of the entries in this forum) to change width="100%" height="100%" or width="100%" height="auto". This fixed the problem for Internet Explorer, but then the entire banner disappeared in Firefox.
Please help! I am at my wit's end.... Thank you. ellen

Help with creating a flash banner

Hi,
I need some help with a creating/replicating a flash banner I
saw online. I cant find it anymore but I will do my best to
describe it.
The banner had multiple images layered on top of each other
horizontally. Each image covered the image to the left of it. When
you moused over an image the image expanded to full size while the
other remained contracted.
How can I create something with the above description? Are
there any good tutorials for something like this or maybe someone
can provide me with a few tips/tricks for doing this?
I am proficient in PShop and a beginner with Flash so the
design portion is not the hard part, just the programming/setup in
flash is what has me stumped.
Thanks in advance for any assitance.
Regards,
Mike

The banner on this template has an exact example of what I am

What is the best way to create a flash banner that features video?

Hi I have created a html5 video banner but I also need to create a flash banner that will host a video in it
I have created the flash banner but not sure where to start in order to add video to it. I understand the best way is to host the video file on a server but how do I get that video to play within the banner?
Thanks

You can incorporate an FLVPlayback component that automatically loads the desired video. You could also make use of the NetStream class instead of having the component. Google either one to get information on using them.
