Flash Embedded Issue

Hi, Ive created an html snippet and correctly got my flash menu swf file to load in on my website. The issue i have is that when i click on a link on my flash menu bar it frames the next page on top of the current flash instead of loading the new page. Any ideas. here is the code i am using I was thinking there is somewhere i can maybe put target=_self but ive tried and no luck
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/ flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="800" height="600"><param name="movie" value="http://web.mac.com/youriDisk/docs/flash.swf"><param name="quality" value="High"><embed src="http://web.mac.com/youridisk/docs/flash.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="800" height="600"></object>

sorry, my bad, i was clicking on a button that was behind a layer in the template
wish iweb would tell you where it's putting layers
ok, but I have discovered this
when you insert html snippets iweb insert what it calls a "widget"
a widget is simply an html web page loaded in an iframe
that's all they are
so when you enter the html to embed a flash file, that html is NOT going into the page you're working on
its going into a completely seperate html file which is stored in another folder on the server
this page is loaded into the page you're working on via an iframe
this causes a major problem if you don't have access to the flash file you're trying to embed
unfortunately the only solution is to open up the original .fla flash file and change ALL of the actionscript on the buttons to target _top instead of _self (which is the default)
so as far as I can see, you MUST edit the flash file to suit iWeb, you can't edit iWeb's html code to suit the flash file, at least not with iWeb itself
AMMENDMENT --------
come to think of it, i think you might be able to add a meta tag to the widget
<base href="http://www.yourdomain.com/sitename" />
I think the base makes all links in the document relative to that url
i don't know if it works for http requests from flash files though, but its worth a try

Installing Flash Player Issues

I have a Windows 8 Operating Sysytem and I use IE version 8. I have downloaded the latest flash player numerous times and it continues not to work. So can someone please help me install it?????? Thanks in advance

If you have Windows 8, you CANNOT use IE 8, because Windows 8 comes with IE 10 preinstalled and it WON'T accept a lower version.
In addition, Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 is modified and embedded by Microsoft. It's "their baby" so to speak. It can ONLY be updated through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security).
Microsoft released a "Tuesday patch" November 12 to update Flash Player for IE10 and IE11 in Windows 8 and 8.1.
If you run the update and still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html for more steps to take.

Cross-browser compatible flash embedding in html5

I am a newbie with flash with less than a year of experience and this is my first post in this forum.
I recntly converted my web site from xhtml1.1 to html5 and when it came to flash I was a bit stumped.
Then the light came on, why not use html5's new and powerful JavaScript engine and I did.
I was able to use JavaScript to embed the flash object which tested with IE8, FF3.6.4, Safari 5.0, Opera 10.53, SeaMonkey 2.4, Chrome 5,6 and maxthin 2.5 & 3.0.
I wanted also to keep away from making a http call for swfobject and use the html5 enviornment.
Therefore, I used the following and placing the JavaScript function within the <head>..</head> tags just above the <body> tag.
My web site is multi-lingual currently with/for English and German with French and Spanish to follow; the html5 used is simple and it W3C validates it as html5.
Using the english version this was placed within the head tags
<script>
       //<![CDATA[
     document.write('<object width="100%" height="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="english.swf" >');
     document.write('<param name="classid" value="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" />');
     document.write('<param name="pluginurl" value="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,24" />');
     document.write('<param name="movie" value="english.swf" />');
     document.write('<param name="quality" value="best" />');
     document.write('<param name="menu" value="false" />');
     document.write('<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />');
     document.write('<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />');
     document.write('<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />');
     document.write('<param name="scale" value="noscale" />');
     document.write('<param name="wmode" value="window" />');
     document.write('</object>');
        //]]>
</script>
I have also noticed that an iPAD visited my wbe site indicatingn to me that it works on an iPAD and by virtue that this method of flash embedding works with the above borwser types; it is I think a cross-browser method.
To see this in action feel free to visit my web site and look at the index.html, english.html or the german.html code to see this implemented; the web site is www.mirana.net
Now my questions is:
1. is this a good method and why? or why not?
2. can this be placed mainstream ?
Thank you for reading this and be merciful in responses

Hi
Thanks for replying, I appreciate that.
I do agree that that an initial view may appear as the 'standard flash embed' but in this case it is not by virtue of its location being between the head tags.
There is IMHO considerable difference placing this method between the head tags as compared to placing in/on the body. Try it out yourself in html5.
1. it valdiates
2. reduces http calls
3. appears to load faster but that can be purely dependent upon the visitor's internet connectivity
4. fundamentally works with all browser that I tested it with
Traditionally with flash embedding there was an issue with/in validation of the html document and this goes back to 2002 when the 'Satay' method corrected this. As I now understand it with the release of CS5 html that is published uses the object method of embedding.
The fact that an iPAD was on my web site and viewing pages certainly was a surprise, I only wish I had an iPAD.

Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

Hi guys,
I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
Thanks!!

Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player
and adobe flash player activex both....
Then select windows 8 and flash player from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Install and check..

Why Ctrl+Tab stops working when opening a flash embedded page?

This a huge pet peeve I have. Everytime I watch a video in youtube.com or megavideo.com, I can't just Ctrl+Tab to change tabs. I'll have to clic in some portion of the page without video to get it to work, but even that, isn't always the case.

Odd Flash Embedding Problem

I am using Flash with SlideShowPro (component) installed, no
actionscript.
My XML file and my images are in a sub folder. The Flash is
not working. I copied the swf into the subfolder the XML is in.
When I open the root level page which has the flash embedded on it,
it pulls up the flash SWF, but does not recognize the xml file
that's in the sub directory. It tries to get an XML file from the
root level, instead.
If I run a page from the subdirectory, it works correctly,
which tells me that the XML file is properly configured when
sitting in that directory.
What do I have to do with the embed statements (or anything
else) to make sure it takes the XML file that is in the same
subdirectory as the swf file, rather than trying to find an xml
file on the root level?
I don't think I can have the swf on the root level, because
it asks for an XML file and there are many different subfolders for
which this has to work. If there is a way, I'd be glad to hear of
it.
The subfolders are all dynamically created, so I can't
preconfigure with separate names for the swf or xml files. At time
of dynamic subfolder creation, I copy in the SWF file and the XML
file is created into that folder.
I appreciate your help.

I'm really desperate for help here.
My problem lies that I'm trying to use a dynamic situation
and PHP.
The PHP creates a folder in images/pictures, copies the swf
file into it, and creates an XML file in it...so, we'll use the
example of 10.
So now we have the houseInfo.php page on the root level with
the swf on it, and the images, actual swf file, and xml sheet are
in images/pictures/10
(remember, it's dynamic. So the number could be 14 or
24...depending on which houseID is in the database)
I can't use a php statement in flash, so I can't make the
flash dynamically grab the correct xml sheet from
images/pictures/10...
So I tried using this method:
http://components.earthscienceagency.com/support/slideshow/examples/dynamic_xml/
By this method, the SlideShowPro doesn't have an xml file
path declared in the component, but rather I have this in the
actionscript:
mySlideshow.loadXML(playlist);
and the component is ID'd as mySlideshow
The embedding on the page uses a php id and it seems to read
it right...this is what a view source will show:
<object height="270" width="250" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="slide_frame.swf" name="movie"/>
<param value="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
name="FlashVars"/>
<param value="high" name="quality"/>
<embed height="270" width="250"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
quality="high"
flashvars="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
src="slide_frame.swf"/>
</object>
You will notice in the flash the playlist is showing the
correct path to where the XML sheet would reside.
But it still doesn't work.
Please, help?
Thanks,
Denise

Would flash player issues cahnge desktop icons?

I'm starting a seperate discussion on this issue as it is truly different than my other postings
I use Vista Home premium
I have many icons on my desk top, mostly shortcuts to program. Yesterday I had to reboot several times when trying to update to ne flash player.
Then upon one reboot, I noticed that some, just like 3, Icons changed.
Example
icon for the shortcut to itunes looked like the icon picture for the game dinerdash
icon for shortcut to the game Bakerydash looked like the icon for spider solitaire
now when I would right click on these shortcuts, they would show the proper data for the shortcut they truely were Whe I would right click on the icon and then select change icon, the only option there was the actual correct icon. I'd hit apply, but it did not good.
I ran virus/spyware scans and all were clean.
Could it be because of flash player issues? or because I had rebooted several times in a row and did not allow the system to fully reboot before trying the next reboot??
Like I would reboot and then 7 minutes later reboot again. Could that cause the icons to screw up a little?

I don't know what changed the desktop icons, but it is one of these things that just happen sometimes.
Windows XP had a great tool, TweakUI (from Windows Power Toys), that has a 'Repair Icons' function. Microsoft never released a TweakUI version for Vista, but I know that a 3rd-party version of TweakUI for Vista can be found on the Internet (Google will find it for you).
I would try to use this to repair your desktop icons.
P.S. since this TweakUI is not a Microsoft tool, I recommend to make a System Restore point before running it; just in case...

Exported Flash IIS issue

Hi,
I have exported an Encore project to Flash and it works ok locally.
When i copy the all the exported files onto a Webserver, then create a virtual directory pointing to it, the main menu appears yet none of the video plays.
The source folder etc has been copied over, as i see that has been an issue in previous posts.
The server is Win2003 and the virtual directory is added to the default web site.
I am making no amendments to the exported files except moving them to a webserver.
Can anyone please help?

The only Encore/Flash related issue that could be going on is that you haven't copied ALL of the items used (the source folder, the .html, the .swf). But, since you said you did all that, then I don't know why that wouldn't work for you.
In the URL, do you have a trailing "/" at the end? That can play a role. Also, check case-sensitivity (type in the URL exactly as the folder is listed).
I'm sure you've got your own reasons for using virtual directory...however, have you tried setting up the Flash DVD on the site any other way to at least determine whether or not your virtual directory setup is the source of the problem? Try setting it up some other way....if it works, then you at least have a better idea where the problem lies. If it still doesn't work, then....something may well be missing, despite your best efforts to ensure a 100% transfer.
Good luck!

Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

Vista and Flash Player issues - no embedded video

Ok,
I've been wrestling with this for a week now. I upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium 32-bit. After the upgrade, I cannot view embedded videos on any website(except Microsoft's cuz they use Silverlight).
I CAN, however, see videos on YouTube *IF* I change the URL to their Secure site. (HTTPS). I found this workaround in a post. This tells me that Flash Player is working, but somewhere in the Vista install, Vista is blocking non-secure websites from loading/playing embedded videos. I have used Yahoo's news pages as my test, but have had issues with embedded videos on FaceBook, and other websites that regularly post embedded vids, like the TV network sites, etc. I have gone through as many "fixes" as I could find posts on the Web, and none have fixed my problem. I tried downloading and installing Flash Player on Chrome and Firefox, and those didn't work either, so I know that A.) the problem is not the browser, B.) that the problem is not the codecs, as vids run on Youtube's Secure website. That leaves the OS as the culprit. I have gone through the Control Panel, and tried everwhere there that I could find a remote link to Internet security, to no avail. No one at Microsoft is interested in helping me; they just tell me to buy Windows 7. Are there any Vista gurus out there that may be able to help?

Could you try running through the steps outlined in this FAQ? In particular, make sure you delete the two folders specified within the %appdata% directory.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

Re: Vista and Flash Player Issues - no Embedded video

Hi Carl,
After re-boot, still the same problems. I DID find it interesting that in the previously mentioned link to Yahoo's website, that the video file was an HTML file. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't it have been a video format file, or was the right-click just giving me the page link and not the vid file name?

Ah - from the 'Re:' in the subject line I assume that you replied to the email notification. But for some reason it was not merged into the original topic.
I will notify the forum administrator to see if he can find out why this is not happening.
Hopefully Carl will see your replies, and remember the original conversation.

Is it not possible to print Flash embedded in PDF as you see it on screen?

Hi,
I have this problem to which I cannot find a solution. I posted my question to another mailing list but I didn't get a reaction.
It is about printing a PDF which contains Flash movies. Actually zooming is an issue too, but printing is more important.
I have attached a sample file. When opened with Adobe Reader 9.1, the first page looks OK. The charts on the
second page are wider than the page width, so that's OK too.
Zoom in; you will observe that the Flash charts will not get resized right away. To
see the effect of zooming, set the page display to "single page", page
forward/backward.
Print the file, the size of the printed Flash charts is much smaller than what is
displayed.
Am I missing something, or isn't printing PDF with embedded Flash movies 100% supported?
Thanks
