Flash File Issue

I have a page with a flash file. I can preview the flash file in Dreamweaver but when I upload everything, its not there. I have tried moving the file to a different location and renaming the flash file. I have also tried deleting the flash file on the webserver and reuploading it. I have Dreamweaver CS3.

Hi,
because you can (qoute:) see in your preview the flash file in Dreamweaver, but when I upload everything, its not there, so I have to ask you:
Did you do really all the required DW-steps? In order you could control this I'll try to describe in detail from the beginning (translated from my German DW):
Create a new subdirectory.
Create a new html/php-file.
Work in designMode --> Insert Flash-Video.
Search/browse ---> yourFLV.flv
Skin: Halo Skin 3 (min. width 280) ( it was my choice)
width 640 ( it's my choice)
height 480 ( it's my choice)
I clicked all the boxes
---> And now away with all these files below (produced from DW) to your server.
Best you have a look with WIN-Explorer into your directory, to see all the files DW has created in your subdirectory and don't forget one:
YourFlv.flv
YourFlv.htm (or YourFlv.php)
Clear_Skin_1.swf (my choice)
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
Back to my start: You can see your file in preview, cause in your harddisk-DW-directory all these files exist.

Spry Menu/Flash file Issue in Safari

I've searched the web and read countless forums about this problem but none of the solutions have worked for me. My website is not published so I cannot direct you to a page to view it. All I can do is post my code, so I'm hoping that someone will be able to help!
My home page has a Flash movie file that scrolls pics and I have a Spry menu bar to the left with popout menus. The page works PERFECTLY in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera but NOT in Safari. When I test the page in Safari, the popout menu shows up behind the Flash file. The solutions I've read direct me to change the "wmode" value to "transparent" in two different places in the Flash file code. I've done this but it still doesn't work in Safari. I'm starting to wonder if there may be some value I need to change in the Spry menu. Any further suggestions would be great!
CODE:
Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

I'm not an expert. I'm not an idiot either. But could someone please
tell me how I can insert my code for you guys to view? Can you not copy and paste? This is what I was trying to do but I ended up typing it all out and somehow it got lost when I posted the discussion! How aggravating!

Synching Issues with Self-Paced Learning and Embedded Flash Files

Hi Everyone,
I'm having some issues with my files not properly synching or displaying when Self-Paced Learning is active.
Here is my set-up:
Captivate 5
5 separate Captivate files combined using the Aggregator
Each Captivate file is about 15 slides
Each slide contains an audio file (for closed-captioning) and a single SWF file - the content is all created with Flash and then inserted into Captivate using Insert > Animation
Each SWF file is back 1/10 of a second from the beginning of the Cap timeline (otherwise there are rewind issues when the user selects the slide they are currently viewing from the ToC)
Each embedded SWF has the beginning and ending fade built into it; Captivate is not doing any fading
Synch to Project is selected for each embedded SWF (although it doesn't seem to work all the time)
Self-Paced Learning is active, as well as, Enable Navigation
It is not being loaded to an LMS or using any built-in Captivate quiz features. These are instead custom built AS3 Flash files that are embedded.
Windows 7, 4GB RAM, 1GB Video Card, High-end Processor, etc... a beast.
The Issue:
When the user opens the course, views it for a while and then closes it and returns it will display the first slide of the course for a moment before jumping to the bookmarked slide. This slight timing misstep causes the bookmarked slide to get out of synch. It will sometimes not display the bookmarked slide at all or it will cut-off a small bit from the end of the slide (even with Synch to Project active). It sometimes works fine but randomly will break. The course is set to 100% preload and nothing is being loaded from an external location. It seems to work fine until Self-Paced Learning is activated.
I don't think this is a common development approach for Captivate but it has been very successful with some clients. Has anyone encounted similar issues or does anyone have some suggestions that might resolve this problem?
Thanks!
Greg

It's been mentioned many times on this forum that nesting Captivate SWFs inside other Captivate SWFs gives rise to all kinds of strange issues. Captivate was not designed to work this way. If you choose to do it, and you encounter issues (as you have done) there's usually NOT a lot you can do. There are just too many ways the SWFs can get into bun fights over which one does what.
I suggest you rethink your approach to avoid nesting.

Trying to export a older flash file in player 8, having issues.

i have this flash file that is written for player 5. i had to
republish in player 8 to take advantage of the anti aliasing
features available, however, i seem to have a problem with a
secondary swf that gets pulled in to the main movie. the secondary
swf targets player 5 as well. when i republished for player 8, i
got these compiling errors. can anyone tell me why this won't work
if i publish in 8, but works publishing in 5?
while (Number(n)<19) {
n = Number(n)+1;
bn = "kv" add n;
duplicateMovieClip("kv", bn, n);
setProperty(bn, _x, Number(getProperty(bn,
_x))+Number(n*getProperty(bn, _width)));
setProperty(bn add "/b", _x, getProperty (bn add "/b", _x) +
(random (20)+1));
it must be a syntax issue as the original code is AS1.0. Does
anyone know what this would need to look like to work publishing
for player 8?

The only real problem is that "add" is no longer supported.
It should be:
while (Number(n)<19) {
n = Number(n)+1;
bn = "kv" + n;
duplicateMovieClip("kv", bn, n);
setProperty(bn, _x, Number(getProperty(bn,
_x))+Number(n*getProperty(bn, _width)));
setProperty(bn + "/b", _x, getProperty (bn + "/b", _x) +
(random (20)+1));
But this will have yet another problem if the "n" is not
defined prior to the while loop. Flash 5 assumed undefined
variables were 0. Flash 8 assumes undefined variables are
undefined.
But a newer and improveder version of the script would be
something like:

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

No matter if it's a Mac or a PC, FireFox refuses to refresh Flash files. Updated Flash files are showing up as old,out dated, Flash files. Is there an issue with the Flash Player PlugIn?

I have created a simple Flash menu for use on multiple site. They all access the same flash file. My original flash file only had a few links and tabs. The new one has more links, and a "LIVE" button at the bottom. But in Fire Fox, those that saw the original can not see the updated version in FireFox. They see it if they use Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc. This issue comes up on all operating systems. This issue only occurs with FireFox. I've tried clearing FireFox's Cache but that doesn't seem to be working either.
The Flash File can be found on the left side at this link:

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Ask a simple question and get a simple answer...see below...hilarious:
All representatives are actively assisting other customers. Your estimated wait time is 0 minute(s) and 1 second(s) or longer. Thank you for your patience.
We all can learn from this. Whenever you get stuck in a customer-service situation that goes nowhere, as soon as you become aware of the futility, get the name and employee ID of the person, then say, "I don't mean to be rude, I think we're both wasting our time. Perhaps you weren't trained for this issue, or perhaps your system isn't displaying the correct information. It doesn't matter, because I'm not getting proper customer support this way. Please ESCALATE this to your highest-level manager IMMEDIATELY. If that person isn't availabe, ESCALATE me to that person's highest-level manager. If you haven't been given the proper training, you can use this to inform your manager that you need the training. Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it. I have copied and saved this chat session. NOW PLEASE ESCALATE THIS CASE AS I HAVE REQUESTED ABOVE. I'm waiting now... "
The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
Good luck.

Issues coping flash files to a network volume

Hello all I need your help. I have CS6 suite and I have a weird issue with Flash only. I take a flash file create it on a Mac OSX 10.9.2 Desktop. I save and close flash. I drag the file file to a SMB share on the network. I open the file from the drive and now I cannot save the file. It gives me an error that it cannot save. I then close and try to open back up and it gives me an error and the file will not open. I have no trouble with Photoshop CS6, Word or any other files doing the same process. Why is flash different? Thank you in advance.

I agree Steve Warner moved me to this forum. How do i go back?
Thanks

Flash Navigation & Links Source File Issue

Hello Everyone,
I am using a flash template for my site's navigation. I have edited it myself. With it, a URLS.txt file must be used to provide the links for the flash buttons. I have edited this file, and placed it all on my site.
The problem? The links are recognized in IE6.0 and Firefox on a computer running Vista. As well, my computer (an Apple MacBook with Leopard) allows the links to click through with Firefox. HOWEVER, when I try to navigate with my Safari 3.0 I get a pop up programmed in to the flash file that no URL was specified.
How the heck can this work on some browsers and not others? I obviously set it up correctly... but something is off.
Anyway, please see for yourself;
http://www.caseit.net
Thank you in advance!

My mistake Rob! I just checked, and I do have Safari 4.0.2 on a Mac. For me, when I click on the first navigation link "About CaseIT" I get a nasty javascript popup explaining that I didn't provide a link.
I wonder why *my* Safari doesn't allow it to work, but yours does... as well as other browsers sometimes do. (My coworker can't get the links to work on IE6.0 at her work computer) but it works on MY IE6.0 on my desktop. Strange.

9-scaling issue re-exporting from flash file

Hi,
I seem to have come across a consistent bug which is preventing me from progressing. I am creating assets in Flash which I am exporting as a swc file to be used in a Flex application. I have created a simple scrollbar thumb asset which is basically a rounded cornered rectangle and have added 9 slice lines to ensure the curved areas are outside of the scaling area. I convert the asset to a flex component and export as a swc file. When I test this asset in a simple swc inspector tool (built by one of the devs on my Flex project) I can manipulate the height and width and the 9-scaling works correctly. My problem occurs when I close the originating .fla file and close flash, re-open and without making any changes to the flash file re-export as a swc. When I do this the 9-scaling no longer works!
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I am running a Mac with CS5 installed, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ed

Its been resolved. Thanks

Error while using Image component to display a child flash file

Hi
I'm using Xcelsius version 4.5. I used the "Image Component" to import a child flash file(.swf) into the parent flash file.
I gave the path "D:\246024\Loblaw\Dashboard Docs\New Folder\trend input.swf" in the general tab of the image component.
After exporting the .xlf into a flash file , it works fine in the system in which i created it. If i open the same flash file in any other system the parent file opens but the child flash file imported through the image component is not displayed.
Please help me out in solving this issue
Thanks
Anitha

yes, you will face the same problem as its still looking for the path of the swf.
you need to have the SWF on specific location which is accessable by the Parent SWF
usually web page or something which is accessable for all.
good luck

Creation of flash file from Device Central failing

Hi,
I'm currently trying to create a new flash document from Device Central and the application is throwing the following error:
Cannot create new document. The xfl template document is either missing or corrupted.
I am also unable to test my flash files in Device Central via Test Movie.
This function was working fine until a couple of days ago.
Has anyone had any similar issues? I am running Master Collection CS5.5 for Mac.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

For anyone who has this problem in the future, I have managed to get it working again by doing a complete reinstall of Master Collection.

Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

Hello,
      I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
      Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now, when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
      So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
I would like to appreciate your help and support.
Thanks,
-Yogesh.

Security restriction while executing Flash file

Hi,
I am a beginer with Flash and I developed some sample Flash
files(swf) using Flash MX 2004. The files were able to run with IE
with out any issue on my XP machine which is having IE 6. The same
files when I tried with IE 7 on Windows Vista, it is not letting me
to run initially. It says ".... IE has restricted this web page
from running scripts or Activex controlls that could access your
computer....". Though I can right click and click 'Allow Blocked
Content' to execute the file, I am wondering whether I can do some
setting on the file itself to make it trusted or something like
that. I can also change the IE settings not to restrict the file.
But I think it won't be a general solution.
I wanted embedd this flah file on an html page and I want to
make sure that the file will execute with out the security warning
or change in the IE settings.
Most of the internet sites that I used access has flash
content and my IE does not used to show any warning. How can I
achieve the same with my flash file?
Thanks in advance
Seb

If you embed the swf in the HTML it will not display that
warning. The warning is something that IE displays when you open
the SWF directly.
