Flash CS5 SWF File not functioning in Captivate 5

Hi,
I have an Interactive SWF File created in Flash CS5 that has an Intro screen with a button to continue etc and it opens to a presentation with several buttons, and works fine.
I bring the SWF file into Captivate 5. It shows fine in the Slide, but when I test it or publish it, two things happen.
It stops after a second and disappears. I have set it to play for the duration of the animation, but it makes no difference.
If I extend the timeline out to several minutes then it will stay, but although the Start button works, nothing happens, it just sits there.
how do I get the Slide to stop and stay so that the user can take their time interacting with the animation. ( I dont how long someone will spend on the presentation)?
Why doesn't the interactivity actually work?
Cheers

Flash Catalyst SWF file not working in Captivate 4

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version of Flash Catalyst to use in conjuction with Captivate (I don't know how to write code) so that I have scrolling text boxes in my project. Well, Flash Catalyst works as designed, but when I go to import the swf file into captivate, they don't play nice together. My project is in AS3, which is congruent with Flash Catalyst. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, or work arounds to get it to run would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I got your file, thanks! I have not tried it inside Captivate because I was not on the same machine were Captivate is installed. However, if you tried to use, in Captivate, the main.swf file located in the deploy-to-web folder than you will have some issues. The file in that folder is very lightweight because it will download at run-time the flex framework. Therefore, if the framework is not in the same location as the main.swf when captivate runs, the animation will not show up properly. So, if you copy the other swf and swz in the same folder were Captivate publishes, then it should work.
However, there is an easier way to do this. You have another folder called run-local. This folder contains a bigger main.swf file. This file already contains all the framework part in it. So, if you try to use this file instead, it should work inside Captivate.
Give this a try and let me know if it works out.

.swf files not functional in Acrobat X pro

I've started working in flash builder, making some menues and buttons to create enriched pdfs, however when I try to add them to the pdfs I get 1 of 2 outcome, neither is functional. When working with swf files I have created myself, I get an empty loading bar with the error "Error#2032: Stream Error. URL: file://PDFMedia013861/g/framework4.5.1.21328.swf"
Or I get a play button image (a default before flash activation) that takes me directly to a black or transparent window (depending on my background pref.) I have found, the file in the error refers to a file in the same bin folder as the swf file created by my application. Also, when I try to run the swf file outside of the bin folder it does not function, it simply shows white.
I have been through the support channels for Adobe Acrobat X pro to rule out the error being on the Acrobat side, but I am now unsure how to proceed if I can only construct non-functional or machine specific Flash Builder Applications.
If anyone has any insite I would be happy to hear about it, as I am fairly new to the flash development community.

*Update*
I've found that if I revert back to the Flash Builder 3.6 SDK and construct the files with the same basic content the import into Acrobat is successful... Has anyone else had issues with FB 4.5 to Acrobat X compatability?

SWF File not working after upload to server, but works on local system

HELP PLEASE.....I have created a Fla and exported a swf file
from Flash 8 and Export (Flash 6). I can preview the page in
Dreamweaver just fine, but when i upload it and the html file, it
isn't showing up. It leaves a blank spot on the page. It is just a
simple banner with graphic clips and motion tween text, with image
bgd. All images are jpg.
I have tried:
1. Using a full link to the swf file.
2. Removed drop-shodows in swf file
3. convert to Flash mx 2004 file
4. Exported to higher Flash version to see if the flash
player was an issue.
5. Exported with no dashes in name
6. Added Scr file into Dreamweaver
7. Made a new test file to see if it was something in the
current html doc, same result.
8. Tried viewing on a pc, same result. Created on mac.
Here is the test page if anyone wants to take a look.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
Test
Page Link

The link you provided is to the SWF file, not to an HTML
file, so no one can test your HTML file.
Have you checked the code for the embedding of the SWF file
in your HTML file? I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I do know that
if you start assembling a Dreamweaver file without first saving the
HTML, embedded graphics and other items are inserted as direct
links to the files on your computer, rather than as relative paths.
There is one other possible issue: I note that your swf is
called CWABanner.swf. Depending on your FTP settings, it is
possible that your server is forcing all file names to lower case
(a common practice). Which means the file on your server will be
cwabanner.swf. Again, depending on how the web server is set up, if
it is case sensitive, it will treat CWABanner and cwabanner as
separate files. So if the HTML calls CWABanner.swf, but the FTP
upload has forced a rename to lower case to cwabanner.swf, the HTML
file will not find it. Check this out, or to be absolutely certain,
rename everything to lower case: the file name itself and the
reference in the HTML file.

External swf file not using URLRequest

Good morning guys.
You can load an external swf file not using URLRequest? Since embed html code is setted as <param value="never" name="allowscriptaccess"/>
I have this problem and I need to load a swf skin
thank you

are you loading a swf (done during runtime) or importing one (done during authortime)?
in either case, the allowscriptaccess parameter of the external swf (that your loading or importing) is irrelevant. allowscriptaccess is assigned in the main (loading or importing) swf's embedding html page and is used to control html/js access of the main and loaded swfs.
if you trust the swf you're loading, you can change allowscriptacess to always. if you're importing a swf, none of its actionscript will execute anyway so it doesn't matter whether its trusted or not.

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI format without losing quality?

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI (or another video) format without losing quality?

As long as you don't have code in your animation then just hit File->Export->Export Movie, then configure the options.
Here's an article on exporting sound, images and video. Just skip on down to exporting AVI and it explains the process. The codec is in the Video Compression section. When you click Settings for Video Compression, the codec is in the drop-down at the top. There's various kinds but to get lossless quality AVI you'll have to choose Uncompressed / None for full quality. Again, the file will be huge and you'll need to use another program (like Adobe Media Encoder) or Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, etc, depending on what format you intend to compress it ultimately.

Flash cs5 swf not running properly in captivate 5

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a flash question or a captivate question so I'm posting it to both forums. I have numerous flash cs5 built swfs inserted into a captivate 5 project. All of them are running fine apart from this one. It runs perfectly outside of captivate but within the captivate swf it goes haywire. It's a very simple fla. The only actionscript involved is a stop action. There is a movie clip that uses a number of classic tweens and then there is a layer containing textual explanations for what's happening in the movie clip. When I run my captivate project the swf does one or other of the following:
a) it runs but the movie clip starts earlier than the text and so they are out of synch
b) the text runs as normal but the movie clip does not run at all
c) it only shows the final frame of the swf and nothing else happens.
As I say, it is a very simple fla and I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's wrong. I don't seem to be able to attach the fla here, so if anybody thinks they may be able to help please pm me with your email address and I will email you the fla file.
Just to note some of the things I have already considered: the text is all set to classic rather than TLF. The captivate project and the fla both publish as3 at 12fps for flash player 9.
yours hopefully!

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.

Importing a flash Catalyst .swf file in Flash CS5 ?

Hi,
I found Flash Catalyst by luck while browsing the Adobe website and downloading the Flash CS5 trial...
One simple question....
Can I import a .swf file created in Flash Catalyst into a Flash CS5 .fla as an element ?
I created a scrolling text attached to a custom made scrolling bar in Flash Catalyst, and I would now like to use it in my Flash CS5 project...
Well, I will be waiting for your responses...
Thanks in advance for your help !
Gilbert Gour

Unfortunately you can't import an SWF from Flash Catalyst into Flash CS5. Flash Catalyst uses the Flex Framework for building the its SWF. Flash CS5 does not use the Flex Framework and doesn't know what to do with that kind of file. You can load an SWF from Flash CS5 into your Flash Catalyst project, though.

Flash .swf file not appearing in browser when publishing from iWeb 3.02

I have been working on a site for the last couple of months that i created in iWeb 2.0 and had successfully had small flash movies that I embedded via html snippets from code provided by numerous sources and youtube videos demonstrating how to get flash movies into one's site.
The url is
www.almafoods.com
Today i upgraded to 3.02 and had to make a change to the home page. The domain opened up fine with all the HTML code and .swf on the page exactly as I had it in version 2.0
When I now publish to a folder, first of all it doesn't copy over the .swf file unless I create a link to the file, but even when I upload all the directories to my ISP's remote server, the movie isn't not showing up in the browser. The html code file and .swf file are in their correct directories on my ISP's remote server
I'm baffled as to what is going on here as its the exact same domain that worked perfectly in 2.0 and this has peed me off no end
Does anyone have any suggestions or encountered the same problem in 3.02?
Any advice would be very much appreciated

Your .swf files are in the same folder as the widget-markup files.
Keep your custom files OUTSIDE the folder with the sitename iWeb creates.
iWeb will overwrite everything when it needs to do that, wiping out your custom files.
Put the files in a separate folder and determine the link to these files.
Read this : Using the iWeb HTML Snippet
Besides that, to display these tiny pictures I wouldn't use Flash.

Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You're not using the full URL to the file.
You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
"http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

Flash swf file not loading on webpage

Hi there,
I have put an swf onto my web page and everything works fine when i test it in my browser through dreamweaver.
When i go online to my website: http://www.organicgrowshop.co.uk/ it doesn't load
I have uploaded the two script files to my webhost. I have the latest version of flash on my comp. I can get an FLV file to load ok in its place.
What am i doing wrong??
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

Hi there,
Thanks very much for taking the time to help me!
Sorry, i have been messing around trying to get different things to work with no luck.
I did have the script files and the swf uploaded directly to my root folder, this didnt work so i tried making a scripts subfolder in my root folder to put the scripts in. This hasnt worked either.
The files are definitely in my root folder. Can you take a look again for me?
I dont understand why i can get it to work with an FLV file but not with the SWF file?
Thanks again,
Matt
