Flash file task doesnt end in BPM

Hi
I created a webdynpro component with embedded flash file.
and added it as a task in BPM process.
It initiates and exceutes properly, but when the window is closed the task doesnt end.
I added a GAC event for that view component which calls teh complete() method of component controller.
Still doesnt end.
Any help?

Denying end users access to a flash file

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project that I'm hoping to get some help
with, I'm very new to flash. I need a way to steam a flash video to
a users browser, without the file actualy being downloaded onto the
users computer. Basicly my company wants to sell views to some of
the courses we offer implimented in flash. We need to restrict the
user to accessing the flash file once, which I can do, but the part
that i'm not sure about is if a copy of it will always end up on
the users computer.
Sorry if this is not an appropriate place for this question,
but I was hopeing somone might have some insight.
Thanks!

Hi,
did you maintain entries in SM30 BCOS_CUST
You have to have the following entry in your satellite system BCOS_CUST view.
OSS_MSG
W
<Your RFC Destination to SOLMAN>
CUST620
1.0
then you'll be able to create a support message.
Also create BPs in SOLMAN, using DSWP -->Edit --> Create Business Partners.
Select your system and date somewhere back dated all the endusers in your satellite system will be populated select the users and create BPs.
You don't have to worry about end user authorization.
This will solve your problem.
Feel free to revert back.

Ending Flash Files with Actionscript

Hi there folks,
Unfortunately I'm new to flash so you'll have to forgive this
question,
Q) What is the correct script to end a flash file once it
reaches a specific frame (e.g If you want to end a Flash
presentation when it reaches a certain point!?).
If anyone can help with this, it would be much appreciated!!
:)

Captain Elgy,

No worries. :) Every one of us was new at some point.

What do you mean by "end a flash file"? Do you mean stop? If
so, a
stop() action may be all you need -- that will stop the
timeline. Do you
mean quit and close the browser window? If so, you'll be
stepping outside
the realm of Flash, so you'd have to trigger JavaScript to
close the window.

Flash File not Able to Display using ADF Trinidad components..

Hi All,
I am trying to display a flash file using ADF trinidad component for one our project but not able to display when embeded inside the code.
However I am able to directly access the flash file using http://localhost:7101/test/pages/test.swf
The below Object code is included inside the tr:panelHorizontalLayout tag. I also tried using tr:media but doesnt display anything on the browser.

Hi Ramandeep,
I tried that option early but did not work. Not able to understand why.
Below is the code snippet.
<tr:panelGroupLayout layout="vertical">

And as I mentioned it works fine when I directly access the flash file by using http://localhost:7101/test/pages/test.swf.

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.

Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. Does any one know how I can get it to recover?

Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. I can hold the option key at start up and choose my network, then Internet recovery shows up with an arrow pointing up. When I click on the arrow Internet recovery fails and all I get is a globe with a triangle on it with an exclamation mark on it, and under that it says
apple.com/support
-6002F
Does any one know how I can fix this without a recovery disc? Thanks

I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
It was Ram for me..

Remove / unload external swf file(s) from the main flash file and load a new swf file and garbage collection from memory.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

Andrei1,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
     loader.unload();
     loader2.unload();
     loader3.unload();
I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
     function killLoad():void{
     try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
     loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly? Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
---- Here is my updated code ----
// variable for external loaders
var loader:Loader;
var loader1:Loader;
var loader2:Loader;
var loader3:Loader;
// makes borders resize with browser size
function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
// resizes portfolio page to center
     loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
     loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
// resizes about page to center
     loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
     loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;
//adds gallery.swf to stage at begining of moviie
     Down();
//PORTFOLIO BUTTON
//adds eventlistner so that gallery.swf can be loaded
     MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
function Down(event:MouseEvent = null):void {
// re adds listener for contact.swf and about.swf

How to make exported Flash files as small as possible?

I am producing some Web Presenter videos, and they are going to be embedded onto a website.
This is my current workflow:
.Import video and then Key it in Adobe Ultra
.Import keyed footage into After Effects to allow me to set pixel dimensions for composition
.Render as flash file
Currently, I am rendering them as .Flv (web small) in the settings, but the files are coming out at 8-12mb, and the video is only 60 seconds long. I have seen some guys get flash videos of this length down to 3mb.
My question, am I rendering under the most sensible settings, or is there something better I should be doing? I need to keep the files small, but without losing much quality.
Here is an example of a recent Web Presenter I did: http://www.ukpostbox.com
I did the filming and presentation, and a friend (who has since died) did the editing. It will give you an example of the effect I'm looking for. Also, is the 'start' button something I can add myself, or is that normally done by the web designers at the clients end?
You might need to explain everything in simple terms to me as I am very new to After Effects, and this type of editing system.
Thanks,
James.

You may also have to edit the export settings.
When you export to flv with the preconfiguration "web small" you shall dig in it and adjust the data rate (lower it until you get the quality you want).
Sadly, encoding isn't a skill that have a long curve of learning, and relying on pressets is just the first step (and encoding much depends on what is in the frame, so it's a science by itself as soon as you want more control on your outputs). Also, AE is a compositing system, not an encoding software, so if you have the Production Premium, Master Coolection or Premiere, you should definitly want to export your project from the Adobe Media Encoder.
One of the most important step in downsizing the size of your video while keeping quality is to do "dual pass" encoding, and AE can't do that.
The great thing is that you can import an AE composition right inside AME, so you don't need to do a temp encoding.

Flash file works sometimes, but not others

Here is the page with what I am trying to do. It is volunteer
work for a non-profit, and I am not an uber flash programmer, but I
have come this far, and would appreciate any helps diagnosing the
possible causes for this. Please view this link to see what I am
talking about. Clicking on the thumbnails opens a separate window
with a photo gallery.
http://www.coafkids.org/dev/photovideo/
On my computer, this works fine, both on the authoring end
and the server end. On some others, reportedly, they can view some
of the gallery slideshows, but not others. The reports have been
random, so there is no consistency with which shows work and which
do not.
The flash file is the same exact file for each of the
galleries. Each gallery has its own folder on the server. In this
folder, there is a flash file(same exact file in all galleries) an
XML file specific to that gallery, and an images folder. The XML
file gives the flash file the location and respective caption for
each image that is located in the images folder. With all the flash
files named exactly the same in each folder, with exactly the same
code, how does it not work on only some machines??
Any light, anything at this point would be extremely
helpful..
Thank you in advance,
Armo

The people that report problems are only reporting them for
one, two, or sometimes just three out of the 9 galleries.
Therefore, since it is exactly the same flash file used in all 9,
why would some choose not to work. And even worse, why are the ones
that do not work varied across each person?
Thank you for your response.... hope we can all solve this
mystery together...

Flash File Decompiling

Good Day,
I have in the past developed two commercial applications with
Director 8.5. We would compile to DCR or DCX, and the Lingo code
could not be reverse engineered - which was a drop-dead critical
feature.
I know that versions of flash files prior to -9- can be
reverse-engineered and the ActionScript obtained.
I don't care about the score or any artwork in the SWF file -
however - I do care about any Actionscript I develop.
Compared to a DCR from Director 8.5 - how secure is a SWF
created in Flex?
Dependent on the answer, i'm thinking seriously of just
moving to Drupal, putting all logic on a server, and having flex
for a fancy front end with no brains.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Thank

Flash file won't display

Bear with me, I come from the GoLive world.
Have a site recently converted to DW. Made an update to the
home page that has a Flash file in it. DW asked me if I wanted to
update code to make it IE safe. Now file does not display in Mac
Safari or Firefox. Haven't turned on a Windows box yet to test
there.
It displays in preview, but not live.
http://www.starmilling.com
Flash file should be right above the Simplicity bag area.
Any idea what happened? DW is hard enough to figure out
without having this.
If worse comes to worse, I can always copy the GL code for
that flash file back in, but was hoping to fix it without
that.

wouldn't have to

Flash files displayed in browser before-don't any more

I have already spent hours trying to figure out what's going
on here, and I've searched the forums for an answer. Either I'm not
searching for the right words or I'm the only person in the whole
world with this problem. I have been inserting simple .swf
slideshows in a Rotary bulletin for months now using Dreamweaver 8.
No problems. In the last two weeks none of my .swf files display in
any browser. Like they don't exist at all. Regular images are fine,
but the .swf files simply aren't there.
This is a page that should have a flash file playing in the
article called "A Golfing We Will Go."
http://bbrc.net/archives/Vol18/061206/rev.html
When I look at the code, it shows the reference to the flash
file (
http://www.bbrc.net/archives/Vol18/061206/RTWCletus),
but it's not displaying. I also noticed that even though the DW
code has the .swf tag on the end of the string, it's not showing up
in the code I'm viewing after I've published the page to the
server. So, I updated the page and added .swf after the flash file
name (RTWCletus.swf). It didn't make any difference.
The only thing I've done differently in the past few weeks is
to install the latest DW updater. I have seen references to that
screwing up things with IE, but that isn't the problem I'm having.
My files aren't displaying in ANY browser and I don't get any
message window. It's not just this page, either. I made one page
with one simple .swf file and it doesn't show up. Yet, I can click
the Play button in DW and it plays the video just fine. What could
have changed?

I decided there is no need to make anyone wade through that
whole page of code since even a simple page is not displaying the
.swf file. I created this tiny test page with just some text and
the flash file.
This is the page:

There is a raft of prizes for the golfers. One hole-in-one
prize is a BMW Roadster. There are also three other golf vacation
packages for two with airfare and lodging included at either Reno,
PGA Village or Cabo San Lucas. Lowest score gets a Wolf Pack
membership to the Woodland Park Zoo and Seattle Aquarium, an annual
family pass. A private golf lesson from the Willows Run golf pro is
a prize for someone who might need a brush-up. Cash prizes are
offered for holes-in-one on the 9th and 18th holes, plus other cash
bonuses. </span></td>

Link within a flash file

Hi,
I have a flash file and I want to be able to hover over it and see the cursor change and when I click I want to be sent to a page I specify on a website.
I've tried "on(release) etc" in ActionScript (although I know nothing!) and it says I need to use NavigateToURL so I tried searching on the Internet and couldn't find anything?
Can anyone please help? I'll happily elaborate if necessary.

If it's telling you you need to use navigateToURL, you are using Actionscript 3. In AS3, to make a button/movieclip work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);

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!
