Flash Banner On Web Page Problems

Hey everyone.
I'm not particularly skilled in Flash, but I usually know enough to get around (animate buttons and such).  What I'm having a problem with is integrating a .swf banner I created into a specific place in a website main page.
The space that I want it to play in is 931 x 258 near the top of the screen.  I want it to continuously loop, but ONLY play in that section on the main page.  When I import the .swf, however, it's huge and does not conform to the space at all (even though the stage for the .swf was 931 x 238 so this wouldn't happen... go figure).  Not only that, but you know how if you maximize the .swf you can see all your motion-tweened images and such on the edges and it looks terrible?  Yeah, that happens too.
I'm at a complete loss.  I tried looking at kirupa.com, but I did not understand the tutorial at all.  How do I get the banner to play in a specific area?
Thank you all in advance!

You should place your swf in a CSS sized div container on the html page. If the scale width and height is set to 100% and it is not placed in a sized div, then there is nothing to contain the swf from trying to be the scale, or be the size of the page width (or height which ever it attains first).

  • Flash Player and web page problems

    I have just switched all my webpages over to an SHTML basis at my website (www.mgytypes.org) but am experiencing a problem with one page namely http://www.mgcars.org/mgccy/umlvideos.shtml.
    The original page - http://www.mgcars.org/mgccy/umlvideos.htm - loads OK, ... but the new page http://www.mgcars.org/mgccy/umlvideos.shtml comes up with an error that if you press cancel on it continues OK but I want to avoid the error report!
    This is related to the Flash Player embedded in the page in some way, but I cannot figure out what it is or how to remedy this.
    Can one of you clever people out there help me figure this out please?
    Thanks
    Paul

  • Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

    I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
    I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
    Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
    Some vitals:
    - I'm using Flash Pro CS5
    - To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
    - To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
    1) swf file containing the FLV component
    2) the swf file related to skin
    3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
    - Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

    Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.

    Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
    What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait.  Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file. 
    When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
    When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
    Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
    Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
    http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
    To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
    Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
    Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server. 
    It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
    It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
    It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
    Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved...  browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.  

  • Flash Player in web page hosted on Windows Azure

    First, I admit I am a Flash noob. That said, I have an ASP.NET web page (ASPX) hosting a flash movie, and the page works perfectly on my development box but does NOT work when hosted on a Windows Azure web role.  The initial image (PNG) displays, and the triangular "play" button is there, but when you click it the player rectangle goes all black.
    I have verified that the files are in place.  All the naming is correct.  As mentioned, it DOES work locally.
    This is an SWF file that loads an MP4 file and there's some xxx_config.xml file that provides subtitles to the narration in the video.  I did not make the movie, but it was made in Camtasia Studio 7.  It generated the core html object tags that I copied, and all the supporting files.  As far as I can determine, the SWF file is failing to load the MP4 file.
    In theory, this should NOT be a cross-domain issue as all the files are in the same folder of the same web site.   I have tried adding a crossdomain.xml for good measure, but that had no effect.  I also made sure to try using one single web server instance in Azure in case the load balancing between instances was causing the problem, but that had no effect.
    I have a support call in to Microsoft, but of course they say they do not support Flash and I imagine Adobe will say they don't support Azure. 
    Anyone aware of any Azure-specific gotchas?
    PS I am testing in the same IE9 browser from my local machine so browser settings are identical from the case that works.

    I fixed it myself.  It turned out to be an Azure issue, not a Flash issue.  By default when an Azure web role instance is created (think VM), the IIS server is not configured with a MIME type for MP4 files.  You have to add it to your project's web.config file if you're going to use that type of file.
    IIS doesn't like to serve up file types that it doesn't know about.

  • WRT160N and web page problems

    I have the WRT160N and experience problems with web pages loading. For example, when I use this router there are times when I want to go to Facebook and instead I get some odd MySpace webpage. I've had similar problems when trying to access my local news webpage, it loads some sort of other strange page. This occurs on all computers in my network (3).
    I've tested this using a Netgear and a Belkin router, and have never experienced this problem. Only on the Linksys. The other routers I have are not N so I'd like to try and get to the bottom of this so I can use the linksys. I have the latest firmware loaded on it.
    Any Ideas? 

    The issue I am experiencing has occurred on all three computers in my home. Two desktop computers and one laptap. They are clean from viruses and spyware, I can assure you of that.
    I did try the suggestion of reseting the router, and then re-flashing the lastest firmware. Much to my dismay, this has not solved the problem. I have taken a screenshot to show you.  If you look at the address bar, that is where I am trying to go, but you will see that it did not bring up that page. For some reason it took me to some Microsoft website this time around.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I really want to get to the bottom of this. 
    ** Edit ** I have noticed that if I go into CMD and run ipconfig /flushdns and close and re-open the browser the problem is corrected. I have used both DNS servers from my ISP and also from OPENDNS, with the same result. Maybe some sort of settings causing problems with the DNS?

  • Mac Mini Web Page Problems!

    I have a mac mini that has been working great for several months. Today it started having trouble with loading web pages! It seems to have letters missing all over the page. I have tried different website and still have the same problem!
    The website do come up but they are missing letters in the articles.
    Any suggestions??

    In my experiance, this would be due to a language error, either the some languages have uninstalled themselves (It has happened to me before) or that the language files have become corrupt... I repair and matinence macs and pcs so i have seen this before. The way to fix this would be to wither repair the language files, or reinstall. Who knows... Maybe a reinstall would be good for your system. How old is the mini?

  • 2 Desired Improvements for the Flash Player 'about' web page

    Hi all ...   I'm finally writing to request two improvements to this web page:
         http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    As a geek, I have long been annoyed that this web page does not keep its Flash object and does not show the Flash Player plugin version number in the same format as used in the detailed list of latest Flash Player versions for various web browers and operating systems.
    This web page is mainly a tool for techs.  It can be improved greatly with these two changes (which I'm requesting on May 29, 2013):
    1)  Near the top of the page, KEEP the flash animation object --
    do NOT replace it with an advertisement in a few seconds.
         Keeping the Flash object there allows a knowledgeable user
    to right-click on the object to see the Flash plugin version, which
    is a way to confirm that the web page's displayed Flash Player
    version is correct.
        Currently, the Flash object is replaced within a few seconds
    with an advertisement for some other Adobe product.  This is
    MOST ANNOYING.  As a tech, I'm specifically going to this web
    page to (a) see that the Flash Player plugin I just installed is
    working and/or (b) see what exact version it is.
        Again:   Keep the Flash object in place -- drop the code that
    replaces that object with an advertisement.
    2)  The displayed Flash Player version is formatted with commas,
    as in   
                    You have version
                    11,7,700,202 installed
    while ALL of the versions in the table below are formatted
    (properly) with dots, as in 
                    Player version
                    11.7.700.202
        Make it easier for us mere humans to compare these version
    numbers ... rework the HTML code to replace the commas with
    dots.  (It's not rocket science.)
    Thank you. 
        -- A geek and former software build & release
            engineer in Tacoma WA

    Thanks, Chris.    That other web page does serve my needs better.  I've created a web link to it on my flash drive where I keep the latest Flash plugins for IE and non-IE web browsers.
    I still feel that the "About" web page needs the two changes I suggested. 
    Thanks also for pointing out that the box displaying the version of the installed Flash plugin is actually a Flash .SWF object .... since it is currently static (meaning, it has no animation whatsoever), I had no clue it was a Flash object.
    So, I add a 3rd request:   have that version-display SWF object redone, to have a simple animation added and to have its code to display version revised to use periods (dots) in the version numbers.  If that object currently is intended and used in some other Adobe (European?) we page, create a new object for the English "About" page.   Or to re-use code, use the version-display object from the page at
          http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    on the "About" page as well.
    Again, as a techie pressed for time, I want a web page where I see the current version of the installed plugins and the versions of the latest releases, in the same formatting,
    along with an animated flash object to prove that the Flash plugin in that web browser is working. 
    I do not accept that the mostly-technical Flash "About" page needs to have marketing materials (an ad).   People go to the About page specifically to see the Flash version info and to prove that Flash is working.
    Thanks again ....  - Ray

  • Recently I See Flashing Cursor On Web Pages In Random Spots

    I've noticed lately that I will get a flashing cursor in odd spots on web pages where none should be appearing. It doesn't cause malfunctions but is annoying.
    From a Google Search I found that this question has been raised before in Mozilla Help, but the topics have since been locked so I couldn't add to them.
    I multi-boot Vista Ult SP2/Win 7 Ult SP1, Win 8 Pro w/MC all x64 and all have the latest FF installed and I see it in all of them.

    Caret Browsing!! I had not thought of that. Must have pressed F7 inadvertently at some stage. Thanks.

  • To Display SWF file or Flash file in Web Page Composer (WPC)

    Hi,
    I am goning to add & display 'swf file or flash file' in <b>Web Page Composer</b>.
    But it is not allowing me to do so.I tried by three ways
    1} to upload this file directly from local machine & to add in WPC
    2}By using linklist option
    3}By creating KM Document iview;which contain swf  file.& then adding that iview in wpc.
    but at last it is not displaying though allowing to add it in WPC.

    Vishal -
    First... we are all new to WPC!
    Second, no I don't think you need to create a new container.  I think that you just need to add the swf type as an allowed type for the container.
    So...
    Figure out which container you are trying to add the flash file to (as you mentioned, A1, A2, etc).
    Navigate to:
    Sys Admin --> Sys Config --> Knowledge Mgt --> Content Mgt --> WPC --> Containers.
    Edit the container you want to use.
    There will be a box named Allowed Mime Types.
    In here, select the "swf" mime type (make sure the check box is checked). Then Save.
    At my company, we had the WPC ramp up from SP12, and are now on SP13.
    I'm not sure what you get if the first time you had WPC is SP13, but for us I see two default A1 (and A2...B1..C4...etc) containers -- one that has "default" in the name and one that has "def" in the name.  From what I see, SP13 WPC uses the one with "def" in the name, not "default".  So, make sure you modify the one with "def" in the name.
    After you make this change, you should see "swf" in the list inside the container when you are editing a page.
    Is this clearer?  I wish I could attach a screenshot.

  • Adding Flash Video to web page

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a web page that I have added a flash video to using
    the insert flash video option in Dreamweaver. I uploaded all the
    files including the additional files that are created when you use
    that option and when I try to get to the video file once I have
    uploaded it will not play. If I use a link directly to the .swf
    then it will play but the link to the page where the video is
    inserted just shows a blank page. Can anyone give me any guidance
    on how I can get this to work.
    P.S. If I preview it from my desktop before uploading to the
    website it works fine.
    Thanks,

  • Need code to embed Flash Movie in Web Page

    1 - We want to embed a Flash Movie into a regular web page
    and need the HTML code snippit sample on how to do it...
    2 - What is the difference in HTML coding for a Flash Movie
    and a regular SWF Flash File?
    3 - Is the Flash Movie file format designed just for video
    while swf is designed more for animation?
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the help. Yes I uploaded all of the exported versions:
    MVI_1235-Desktop.m4v
    MVI_1235-iPhone-cell.3gp
    MVI_1235-iPhone.m4v
    MVI_1235-poster.jpg
    MVI_1235.mov
    All are residing in the folder with the reference movie and were not renamed. I noticed in the instructions there is a comment of including the <style> and <script> tags in the <head> of the page so that it validates as XHTML. I copied and pasted the <script> code, but I am not using any <style> tags. I wondered if that is contributing to the issue. Thanks again for the help.

  • How to import html5 animation (created/published using flash) into a web page using Dreamweaver.

    I have created an animation in Flash and published it as a html5 animation.
    How do I get this into an exisitng web page using Dreamweaver?

    Hi Nancy,
    I am using Flash CC2014 which publishing as html.
    (When I publish as html with edge animate you can create an oam file which allow the inserting of the resulktant animation into a web page)
    The files produced with Flash CC 2014 are: html try.html and html.try
    I was hoping I could use some way to just insert the html animation produced by Flash.

  • Search is slow and web page problem

    and could someone please tell me how in the world do i stop my web page from disappearing to the top when i overshoot the pointer.
    Mac is all new to me and i've managed to learn a lot but need help in some areas. i love the system, i just need to get use to it.

    Have you blown the dust out of it lately?
    How much free space is on the drive?
    Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • To not reload from start flash animation on web page

    Hi,
    I've done a nice flash animation which is in fact an ad
    banner.
    This banner should be displayed on my customer website in
    each pages.
    However, in order to be sure that customers of my client will
    see the
    whole flash animation, i would like to be sure that it's not
    reloaded
    from the first frame.
    is there something like a frames counter which can be
    memorized by PHP
    pages server ?
    i mean on page welcome.php, my banner will be displayed.
    let's say that after few seconds (35 frames for example), the
    customer
    click on a link "prices.php".
    on this prices.php page my ad banner is once again displayed,
    but i
    would like to make sure it starts from frame 36 for example,
    and not
    from frame 1.
    how can i do that ?
    thanks a lot,
    RAF

    Ha! thanks certified. the DW experts are pointing at Motion or Episode. I have confirmed that the file won't loop right out of Episode, so that leaves DW off the hook, i think. But what to do?
    Perhaps my workflow is flawed. I don't want to use Aftereffects to create web animations anymore. I want to use Motion. But this is a showstopper. .swfs are supposed to loop by default, so I can't imagine what's wrong. thanks for anymore advice.
