Flash file in browser window

I have a couple of pages that I am currently working on with
links to browser windows with single images in them. These work
fine, but I recently tried to create a link to a page with a single
flash .swf file in it which I would like to open in a browser
window. However, when I click on the link, nothing opens. Looking
at the code view, it looks similar to the other pages where the
single image opens in the browser window. Are Flash files not able
to open in browser windows? If not, is there some other way to
control the size and toolbars of the window?

Got a URL to show us?

How to center flash movie in browser window

Can anyone explain how to horizontally center my Flash movie in the web browser window after publishing?
A bit of background:
I was able to achieve this using <center></center> tags a few years ago. But I have since upgraded to CS5 and I understand that this old method is now obsolete.
I have found a few threads/forums that address this, but I know nothing about HTML and these threads don't help me because they assume you have more knowledge than I possess. When opening up the index.html file in Dreamweaver I can't find anything that looks vaguely familiar to what is being discussed. I have found some code samples using <div></div> tags but have no idea where to place it.
So I will need it explained to me in a step by step fashion, including which file I need to fix and what program I should use. Code samples will be very welcome if you can tell me exactly where it goes.
Thanks in advance...

Just realized that there is no scrolling functionality with the .swf generated from the new CS5. Can anyone help out by providing revised code for centering and scrolling?
I found something elsewhere in the forums that worked for both centering and scrolling that worked fine yesterday, but upon visiting my site today for testing, it did not allow the scrolling, and centering did not work in Firefox. Tested both Safari and Firefox on 2 Macs running Snow Leopard.
Again, much appreciated - nice to visit forums where people are interested in helping instead of screaming at each other. Will visit the Illustrator or Indesign forum to see if I can help out someone there...

How to centre Flash content in browser window?

Hi there
I'm relatively new to Flash, so maybe there's a simple answer to this one.
How do I centre my Flash content horizontally in the browser window? In the Publish Settings I see there are options to align the HTML to Default, Left, Right, Top and Bottom, but no Center. Is there a setting somewhere else? Do I need to write some ActionScript to do this? (If so, what?)
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
(I'm using CS3 on a Mac.)

OK, I'm fumbling around a bit here. I see now that the Flash content does resize to fit the window. So, back to my original question: how can I get it to keep its original size but stay centered horizontally in the window?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot open folder files in browser window

Since the last 5 or so firefox update, i notice i am unable to open folder
files in the browser window on most of the websites i
have been on. Therefore if i need to upload a file on a website
when i click the open folder button on the website, i am
not seeing the folder window open with all my files on my
computer that i need to select. Instead i have to use another
browser to do all my uploads, and that breaks my momentum.
How can this be corrected?

Hi hardworker2014,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Restrict flash to open browser window

hello everyone,
i'm making an application in which there is one section for
game.
Now this games have links which when clicked opens new
browser...this ias what i dont want..........
How can i restrict flash game to open browser window?
i dnt want flash game to open browser window when those links
in the games are clicked...
One restriction with me is that i can not edit that games so
i can't remove links from games...
hope there will be sol. to this prob.
thanks in advance.................

Something like that could maybe help:
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("iexplore http://www.google.com");
but it's not platform independent + I couldn't let it work in that way. It only worked with Runtime.getRuntime.exec("c:\\windows\\....\\iexplore.exe http://www.google.com");
But it's surely not platform independent.
So the answer is in fact 'I don't know'.
And if you ask why am I writing all that then, the answer is 'I don't know' too.
And if you ask why...

Download file via Browser window

Hello,
I have a question about downloading a file. How can i Download the file via the browser ? I did get it working to download with flex but also get
"Error: Error #2176" this error with flash 10 which is not good :-/
Is there a way to download a file via the browser . i.e : with firefox download window , etc.
I have seen weborb doing it while i was downloading the weborb application, and i wanted to know if anyone has any idea or sample on how to get this done.
Help is appreciated .
Thanks.

You could write a Javascript function in the HTML page that accepts a URL string as its parameter. This function get then open a new window with this url. You could invoke this function it via the ExternalInterface API in Flex. I believe that would invoke the Firefox Download Manager.

Can't create PDF file from Browser Window

Hi, I used to use Acrobat extensively (but not recently) to create PDF files from various websites. Today when I tried to do it from IE and from Chrome I found out that the ability to do that is no longer there.
I cannot figure out why it disappeared nor how to fix the problem.
Does anyone have any insight to this?
I'm using Arobat X, version 10.1.5.
Karen

I am clueless as to where to start. Adobe PDF and Adope PDF Conversion Tool Bar are both enabled, but they do not appear. I can, however, print to PDF (thanks for the head's up). My browser of choice is IE9 ... I also have Chrome installed and I can print to PDF from it, too, but do not see any PDF extensions (if that is what Chrome calls them).
Given that I probably have upgraded IE someplace along the line (it just does it), is there a way to make that installed tool bar appear that you know of?
Again, thanks for the PDF printer tip!

Flash File Fit to Window...?

Hey guys, new to flash, been learning for about 2 weeks now and I'm having a problem with it that I can't seem to find the solution to. First of all I have been following some tutorials using CS5 and when viewing the created animation in test movie or by double clicking the SWF file they would open full screen. However I have followed a different tutorial and created another file using CS3, and this will not go to full screen. (White bars appear either side of the animation). This has also happened with another animation, on which I have created a butterfly that moves across the stage, when viewing the animation, you can see where the butterfly goes off the stage. (You can literally see it, even though you shouldn't be able to). Making the files the same resolution makes no difference, as I have tried this, and I'm not really sure what to do next. I have even tried opening this newer file within cs5, but this still does not work.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Fleurlamie,
To open the swf full monitor resolution, add this code as a Frame action in the first frame:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
fscommand("showmenu", "false");
However do remember, that if you open your file on a wide screen monitor, you will get either a white or black vertical band on either side. To ensure that the bands are black, set the movie BKG to black.
To prevent seeing things that go off stage, use a mask.
just creat a new layer, make a rectangle the same dimensions as your fla and place it on the stage.In the layer properties, select mask. Now things off stage will not be seen. You need not create individual masks. All layers under that mask, will be masked.
Hope that helps
Ranten

Hi Gary

Still Can't See My Flash file in any window

I'm still having trouble with my .swf files. I link to them in Basic, upload them but I see just a white box where the player or thumbnail shoud be. Any directions I can read on this? thx

I have created my .swf file in Adobe Encoder, I think. And I've also reviewed my original posts/discusion. Perhaps I need a plug-in? I notice in the Inspector that it reads: "No player available." Do I need some other element to play .swf files on my computer and if so does that mean that the viewer needs the plug-in as well? I know this is really basic stuff here, but I've only recently starting any serious website building.thx for your patience...

Download File without displaying in browser window

I'm trying to download a PDF file from a flash site without
displaying the file in browser window. PDF file downloads correctly
on a Mac with Safari without displaying in the browser, however it
displays the PDF file in the browser window on a PC with IE 7.
Have added a .htaccess file to server "AddType
application/video/x-m4v .m4v .sit .zip .pdf" Can anyone tell me how
to do this and a sample piece of code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ironically, when someone replies to my e-mails, which has my logo at the end (where I'm glad it shows), it also shows as an attachment in the header.
'T'would be nice to have this feature on outgoing mail, as well as having the option to include an in-line graphic with the signature.
I have written to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ with that suggestion.
Thanks!

Firefox 3.6.8 Opening unrequested new browser windows

I have a new Gateway laptop with Intel Core i5 2.26 Ghz and4 gb ram. I downloaded Firefox immediately, my browser of choice. However, what I've discovered is that almost immediately Firefox would open an unrequested new browser window when I click a link. E.G. I was on Yahoo today and clicked a link to daniweb after doing a search. (I was testing the theory.) Almost immediately there was a very quick flash of my browser window, almost as if something was opened and immediately minimized. After that daniweb loaded. If I go to the start bar and hover over the Firefox (Using Win 7) icon, it shows only 1 open browser window. About 30 seconds later though, the new browser window pops up in front of the Daniweb window. This time, the new window contained the following URL... http://www.yellowpages.com/raleigh-nc/programming?From=MRCH2 As you can see, it basically did a yellowpages search for programming in my area, presumably because I am going to an IT site. And now, if I hover over the Firefox icon on the start bar it shows to open browser windows.
The window which pops up unrequested is frequently yellowpages although sometimes it's a news site with a search for whatever I had clicked on. Occasionally it has been a "you have won site". I have pop-up blocker turned on and have tested through various test sites that pop-up blocker is in fact working. In some ways, this is more insidious because it's not a pop-up like we think of a pop-up, rather it's an entire browser window.
I have googled and googled trying to find a solution and thus far no one else has posted anything similar to this problem.

WinCE Projector does not display flash file properly

Hi,
I built a projector application for loading flash files on a
Windows CE 5.0 based embedded device. I am using Flash player 7 for
WinCE5.0. The projector was built using embedded VC++ for an ARM
processor.
The basic idea of this flash application is content delivery.
So, this projector loads a container flash file stored locally on
the device. This container flash file communicates with a remote
server(webserver or FMS) to retrieve content (flash files, audio,
video, images, text etc.). Right now, I am trying to load a series
of flash files from the remote server - one by one - like a series
of ads.
The problem is that, the series of flash files loaded does
not display properly inside the main container file. I am using a
loader component in the main container flash file. All the flash
files loaded must play full screen. But some files do not play
fullscreen. It automatically shrinks to a smaller random size. This
behaviour does not repeat. It occurs randomly for any of the series
of files I am trying to load in the container flash.
When i tested the application on the desktop, it works fine.
But on the device, the loaded flash files shrink automatically. Can
someone explain why this is happening? Is this problem usually
associated with flash player on embedded devices?
I am stuck with this problem for a long time. I tired
different methods to get around it, but could not succeed. So I
would really appreciate it, if anyone can throw some light on this
issue and preferably provide a solution?
Thank you,
Jothishankar

I am using Flash Professional CS6.
It lets me edit all the symbols and bitmaps, and key frames.
However, it just publishes as a SWF a bit incorrectly.

Unable to open PDF file in browser using Reader 9 with IE8

I just updated to IE8 and when trying to open a PDF file on the browser, I received a message stating to use Adobe Reader 8 or 9. I downloaded AR9 and still receive the same message and cannot open PDF files in browser window. It defaults to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which will not open the file. I have Windows XP. I do not have a problem opening a PDF file in Yahoo mail with AR9. I have tried many different ideas on the web to no avail. Appreciate any help to be able to default to open PDF files in the browser using AR9 which is apparently required by IE8.

Fixed problem by taking to a computer store to find that my hard drive storage was maxed out. I had the hard drive repaced with a larger amount of storage. Problem resulted from inadequate amount of storage space which prevented me from downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.
Thanks to al that responded.
