Flash CC does not publish swf and html files

I'm having issues with Flash CC. When I go to publish my movie the status bar appeaers then quickly disappears and the html and swf files are not created. I'm also not able to export the movie as a quicktime or AVI file. Is there specific settings I must have to publish and export? Note: I am working with AS3 and tried to do a simpple test with a box moving left to right and I have the same problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure the HTML and SWF are not currently in use? For example if you publish and preview it in a browser, it can lock those files because they're "in use". Then Flash cannot overwrite them. You'd need to close the browser or any Flash Players displaying them. If that still won't overwrite, delete the files and see if they're re-created.
If no files are being created at all, gointo publish settings and set a path to export the SWF and HTML file to, don't leaving it at the default (same folder as FLA). Try various places in fact to test permissions.
If you're on Windows you could try running Flash CC as Administrator to also get around any file writing permission issues. Right-click on the Flash icon and select Run as Administrator.
I've only really encountered this when my SWF/HTML was in use or stuck in a process.

Published swf and html file viewing issues.

Greetings,
I design web banners and used to, with Flash 8, sedn my
clients the published *.html and *.swf files to download onto their
desktops so they could view the banner. With Flash CS3 this doesn't
seem to be working the same way. It keeps giving them the window
that says something about "ac_runactivescript.js". How come this
never did this with Flash 8?

click file/publish settings/formats, make sure the swf and html boxes are selected, and click the use default names button. then click file/publish. are the files in your directory with your fla?
if not, create a new directory (that has no subdirectories), save your fla to that new directory using a new name (ie, click file/save as). then click file/publish. check the new directory for your 3 files.

I've downloaded itunes on my computer, but the iTunes store does not show up and HTML and the links do not work?

Hi Augstiner57, I have the same problem. Did you figure it out? Mine seems to have happened after I updated Apple TV. Now it doesn't recognize my Home Sharing even though on my MacBook is it turned on.
I am running an old OS though (Leopard) so I am wondering if I need to upgrade.

Flash CS6 does not publish for iOS with ANE included

Hi,
I'm creating a game to run on iOS devices and one of the game requirement is for the device to vibrate on some action.
I added the Vibration.ane file (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/vibration.html) into the library path in Flash CS6 and also added the extension ID to the XML file. However when I publish the Flash file to check on device, I only keep seeing the "Publishing" loader bar. I've even waited for over 15 mins for it to complete. I get no error, nor does the PC hang, but I can't seem to publish my .app file for device testing.
Also I assume we can't test Vibration functionality with the Simulator that opens during desktop testing. I get the error "The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.adobe.Vibration is not supported for Windows-x86."
Would appreciate help.
Thanks,
Mariam

IPA is ok at the CS6 flash' standard 3.2 export, just tried the new AIR 3.3 also - no problems. I just included the Gyro ANE file, not the SWC
However, because the adl still does not want to preview this thing, development/testing the Gyro stuff is difficult...
I discovered the accelerometer is something different however. Adobe's little remote control thingy on which you can simulate phone position and multitouch emulates the accelerometer, not the Gyro. The Gyro extension taps in to a piece of hardware which really displays the position of the device, not the movement it's been receiving.
Maybe obvious but I thought I'd post this little find, after a day of testing and exporting, syncing, ... this was a tiresome experience...
After all this I can advise to sync the .ipa's with xcode though, instead of iTunes. This works MUCH faster (if you're on mac). Just run xcode, pull up the 'organizer window', select your device and go to the subbranch ' applications'. There you can add the .ipa by clicking on the '+' button

SWF and HTML files separate directories.

I am generating HTML wrapper dynamically and it runs
successfully (No JavaScript errors etc.). I right click on the page
and it displays "Print,Settings, About Flash Player"
Problem is that my SWF file which resides somewhere else on
the HTTP server is not played at all. I get a blank page. The path
to SWF was provided in HTML using an alias defined on the HTTP
config file.
If I run static HTML file in the same directory as SWF file
the page is generated OK.
Am I missing a crossdomain.xml file but everything is on the
same domain (so ruled out).
Please help.

Hi zetokore, and welcome to the Community!
You cannot separate the HTM and SWF files, so don't try.
These files are designed to be symbiotic and must be accessed from
the same location. Your "getaround" won't work because if you link
to the SWF instead of theHTM, the output will be warped ... the HTM
file contains sizing parameters for display of the SWF; so without
proper sizing, the SWF will appear warped.
In short - you'll have to live with it, because what you are
seeing is Captivate's designed behavior.
To emphasize the point: Design and record your Captivate
projects at the size they are to be displayed to the end-user ...
always! And - again always - link to the HTM file, never to the
SWF.

Flash CC does not support .swf then how do i edit .swf?

Hello,
I am at a stuck point with my clients website i downloaded a template for him and have everything good to go except for i have no experience in flash files and the main piece to this websites decor is a flash .swf file. As i stated i have no experience in flash and its mechanics so i am at a great disadvantage in editing the flash banner for my client.
I tried renaming the file to .fla but flash cc had a problem opening, i am assuming it is because there is more you have to do then simply just rename file?
My question is how can i go about editing flash .swf files without spending the $800 for flash CS6 which would be able to open this file for editing?
I tried Sothink SWF Editor and it opened the file but i simply could not understand it.
Keep in mind i am just trying to change some links that would go to a part of my clients site.
Expertise and guidance would be much appreciated,
Thanks!

If you have an swf file then you don't have a video to edit. You can export to a limited number of video formats from Flash. In order to do that successfully, you need to prepare your file so that it will export as you want. This means that you will have to produce the entire file as a linear sequence using the timeline and with no interactivitiy. You can use a limited amount of Actionscript, but it is a very small subset of the available language. Your audio must be in the timeline.
Here is an Adobe help file for exporting to video: Flash Professional Help | Exporting Graphics and Videos

Difference between .swf and html publishing

Hi,
I am creating a flash player to stream my .flv files, as I am
testing my results, I put my .swf and html files on my web server
and then test respective URL paths: For example:
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.html
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.swf
how come these file vary so much in size? when I call
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.html
on my browser; my player is very small. But, when I call
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.swf
I see the actual size.
Thanks,

Hi,
Open ur html with DW or notepad. Find the <embed src="
tag.
Then replace the width and height of the swf as u want.
When you tries to open the file.swf, it will hold the browser
width and height.

SWF and HTML won't play stand alone

My .swf and.html files won't play on their own even with
latest Flash player installed (flash player 9). The html will play
if right clicked and internet explorer is selected manually, but
not on its own. Both files will play on their on when on a computer
with Flash installed. I finished the project and published them
using Flash 8, what's going on? I didn't see anything in the
release notes. Anyone have an idea or had this problem?
Thanks!

Looks to me like the issue is indeed your CMS. The flash content is loaded in a lightbox, which is most likely controlled by some JavaScript or ASP. My guess would be that the problem lies with the paths to the files. The swf file that the lightbox loads is referenced in your CMS so it knows where to get it - the thing is that most likely it is not played from the location where it's located but instead played from the location where the lightbox script is loaded. Since the 4 SWF's you have are not located there it won't be able to find it.
Also this lightbox approach isn't very good for this type of content. The demo is extremely small and the alignment of the Flash file looks weird. Instead just use the HTML file generated by Captivate and upload that to a directory in your CMS. Then change the link you have so it opens the HTML file in a new window and everything should work out just fine.

Win 7 does not associate swf with Shockwave Flash Captivate 7

I created a test file and when I went to publish it in Win 7, there was no application for the swf file. I tried to find Shockwave Flash or Macromedia and I could not find anything to associate it with. I looked on the Internet and someone suggested a stand alone Flash Player. I can associate the swf file with that but then it won't play through Captivate like it should. I tested it on another Win 7 machine and it too could not find the application. Captivate 5 with XP was so easy. It just found it and I had no problems. What is this about? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When you publish your project as a SWF, a HTML file is also published. You can open this HTML just like any other web page in IE, FireFox or Chrome, You don't need a standalone Flash Player for that.
"I can associate the swf file with that but then it won't play through Captivate like it should. " -- You can insert SWF files on a slide in Captivate. AFAIK, Captivate could never be used as a "player" for SWFs.

Flash Player Does Not Work with IE8 and Windows XP

I am using Windows XP VR 5.1 with SP3. Flash Player does not function? So videos will not play that use Flash Player. The Adobe Support Site has been 000 Help because it is a free product. Microsoft says it is an Adobe problem. Finger pointing to the nth degree. I have loaded the latest version of Javascript and Flash Palyer.. Any ideas?

Resetting IE is a shotgun approach, but may be much easier (and faster) for a user than trying to troubleshoot and find exactly which add-on, control, setting is causing issues. For a fast approach, you can reset IE, then start re-installing the add-ons you wish to use. Here is a kb that describes the process and even provides a Fix it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
If you’d like to troubleshoot, here are some steps that will fix most issues with Internet Explorer and Add-ons. This can be more of a scalpel approach, and could help you save your cookies, stored passwords, etc.
1)      Update your Windows software
a.       Follow the steps below to view updates that are available for your computer.
                                                   i.      Click to go online to the Windows Update website
1.       Note: If Microsoft Update is not installed, you will be taken to the Windows Update website. See the note below if Microsoft Update is not installed.
                                                 ii.      Click Custom to check for available updates. In the left pane, under Select by Type, click each of the following links to view all available updates:
1.       High Priority
2.       Software, Optional
3.       Hardware, Optional
                                                iii.      Select the updates you want, click Review and install updates, and then click Install Updates.
b.      What do I do if Microsoft Update is not installed?
                                                   i.      Follow the steps below to install Microsoft Update and check for updates.

6.       Select the updates you want, click Review and install updates, and then click Install Updates.
2)      Turn off Internet Explorer add-ons you don't recognize
a.       When you visit a website, an add-on might be downloaded without your knowledge, or you might be prompted to download an add-on. These add-ons might cause Internet Explorer to run slowly or become unresponsive. You should remove all Internet Explorer add-ons you don't recognize or trust.
b.      How do I spot malicious add-ons?
                                                   i.      You can usually spot malicious add-ons under the Name column in the Manage Add-ons dialog box. Malicious add-ons might have:
1.       Blank names.
2.       Names that include random characters or have a sequence of numbers and letters (for example, fhriduvh.dll or f6rid8vh.exeas as opposed to Windows Messenger).
3.       A publisher name you might not recognize.
c.       How do I disable an add-on?
                                                   i.      Open Internet Explorer.
                                                 ii.      Depending on your version of Internet Explorer, do one of the following:
1.       In Internet Explorer 6, click the Tools menu, and then click Manage Add-ons.
2.       In Internet Explorer 7, click the Tools menu, point to Manage Add-ons, and then click Enable or Disable Add-ons.
3.       In Internet Explorer 8, click the Tools menu, click Manage Add-ons, and then click Toolbars and Extension (if necessary). Also note the drop down list labeled “Show:” You are interested in Add-ons and Downloaded
4.       Follow these steps to determine the version of Internet Explorer you're using:
a.       Open Internet Explorer.
b.      Press ALT+H, and then click About Internet Explorer.
c.       How can I find which version of Internet Explorer I'm using if it won't launch?
                                                                                                                            i.      If you're unable to launch Internet Explorer you can use the following steps to determine the version you're using:
1.       Click Start, click Run, type %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer, and then click OK.
2.       Right-click iexplore, click Properties, and then click Version.
3.       Under Item name, click File Version. The version number appears under Value to the right of File Version.
a.       Note:If the file version number begins with 6, you have Internet Explorer 6. If the file version number begins with 7, you have Internet Explorer 7. If the file version number begins with 8, you have Internet Explorer 8.
d.      If you aren't using the latest version of Internet Explorer, consider updating.
                                                                                                                            i.      How do I update to the latest version of Internet Explorer?
1.       Click to download and install the latest version of Internet Explorer
                                                                                                                          ii.      How can I update Internet Explorer without launching my web browser?
1.       Click to go online to the Windows Update website.
2.       Click Custom to check for available updates.
3.       In the left pane, under Select by Type, click Software, Optional.
4.       Select the Internet Explorer update, and then click Review and install updates.
                                                iii.      Click the name of the add-on.
1.       Click Disable. You might have to restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.
2.       Why do some add-ons include (Not verified) in the Publisher column?
a.       If (Not verified) is displayed in the Publisher column in the Manage Add-ons dialog box, the add-on itself is not digitally signed even though the program that installed it might be. A digital signature verifies that a file comes from the person or publisher it claims to be from, and that no one has tampered with it since it was digitally signed.
3.       How do I disable an add-on if I can't access Internet Explorer?
a.       Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
b.      Double-click Internet Options.
c.       Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage Add-ons.
d.      Click the name of the add-on you want to disable, and then select Disable.
e.      When the Add-on Status dialog box appears, click OK to close it.
3)      Perform a free Full Service Scan using Windows Live OneCare safety scanner (not necessary if you don’t suspect viruses and are confident in the protection you have on your machine).
a.       Go to the following website, and then click Full Service Scan: Windows Live OneCare safety scanner
                                                   i.      http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=56726
If you are still experiencing issues, perform these steps. If the issue subsides, you may discontinue the remainder of the steps
1)      Disable all add-ons (one at a time) until you can no longer reproduce the problem
a.       Close all Internet Explorer windows.
b.      Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
c.       Click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Internet Options.
d.      Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage Add-ons.
e.      Click the name of the add-on you want to turn off, and then, under Settings, click Disable.
f.        Click OK.
g.       Restart Internet Explorer. Continue using Internet Explorer the same way you did when you received a crash report. If Internet Explorer continues to crash after disabling this add-on, continue with the next step.
h.      Repeat steps b through g for each add-on listed. When you can no longer reproduce the problem, the most recently disabled add-on is the cause of the problem. Once you discover the add-on that is causing the issues, you can uninstall it (use Manufacturer’s uninstaller if one is provided) then if you wish to continue to use the add-on, install the latest version from the manufacturer’s site.

My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think.

My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think but it is linked as a plug in with chrome and IE. How can I get my windows to recognise the .swf files to play them.

The downloaded file is the projector, not an installer; you need to make the file association manually:
move the downloaded exe file to a location you can remember, e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
right-click on a swf file and select Open with > Choose default program
navigate to the folder you saved the player and select flashplayer_13_sa.exe

TS2167 I am running OS X 10.8.2 and IWeb 3.0.4 (601) and everytime I try to publish my website I get an unexpected error and it does not publish my changes. My website is pretty simple, mostly made up of iPhoto albums in different categories.

I am running OS X 10.8.2 and IWeb 3.0.4 (601) and everytime I try to publish my website I get an unexpected error and it does not publish my changes. My website is pretty simple, mostly made up of iPhoto albums in different categories.

Where are you publishing to? Can you publish successfully to a folder on your hard drive? Have you read this webpage: Publish iWeb site using FTP. It may have a clue to where the problem is.
A quick troubleshooting fix is
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
However, when you delete the preference file you probably will have to use the app described below to select and open your domain file with iWeb:
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Why does the published swf output from Presenter 10 fail to play when the zip output is uploaded to my LMS?

On Win 7, using Presenter 10 the published output .swf (and associated files in the .zip collection) produces only a blank browser frame (both IE10 and Chrome) on upload and launch from the LMS. The index.html file is referencing two .js files that do not exist...
<script src="./data/html/Project.js"></script>
<script src="./data/resources/ha/wr_/OpenAjaxManagedHub-all.js"></script>
Also, seem to be missing a presenter.css file in ./data/html I think the presenter.libs.js file is referencing.
Are these files required for playback and correspondingly that's why only a blank browser frame is presented on the LMS launch?
Is it possible that when I publish to my local these files are not being populated in the output .zip for some reason?
Any help isolating the cause is much appreciated!

@Willam I am wondering if the first problem has not been properly described. When viewing generated help if you right click and select View Source, as you know, you will get the HTML for the tripane window. I think Rtrown wants to see the code for the default topic. If so, that is something like View this frame.
Turning to the last paragraph, there is also some confusion there.
When this first happened, I wondered if the project was corrupted, and I tried a technique I picked up a while ago, involving removing the xpj and cpd files from Windows Explorer, and attempting to restore from the *.FPJ file. However, I get a message saying 'This file is not an HPJ file. Please select an HPJ file to open'. The project does not have an HPJ file! So I had to rebuild the project.
First, you should only delete the CPD file in most scenarios. See Opening Projects on my site. Deleting the XPJ should not be done other than in a few situations. Secondly, you then restore from the HHP file, not the FPJ file. Not sure how you would do that. Finally an HPJ file is related to RoboHelp for Word and is its equivalent of the XPJ file in RoboHelp HTML.
