Flash Movie Plays on All my Pages

So I have a flash header that plays (swf) but this swf file
loads on all my pages. I bought a template and have edited it close
to what I want but this is the last thing. I just want the flash
movie to play when visitors hit my index page. So I guess I will
have to edit the swf file and modify it to erase all the frames and
just keep the static header with the pictures and links?
Please, any help would be help. Thx.

3 movies published to webpage, but only 1 plays on all 3 pages

While setting up a webpage, I created a movie album with 3 movies. They all play correctly until i publish them and then 1 movie plays on all 3 pages

I have many AppleScript i'm running on the active Pages document... but If I would like to run the Script on ALL opened Pages document?
What would be the line to add/modified at the top?
Try this:
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    tell application "System Events" to set theOpenWindows to windows of process "Pages" whose subrole is "AXStandardWindow"
    repeat with thisWindow in theOpenWindows
        tell application "System Events" to tell thisWindow to perform action "AXRaise"
        tell front document
            -- ENTER YOUR CODE HERE
        end tell
    end repeat
end tell

Am I missing actionscript code to make my flash movie play online?

I have my pages uploaded, but online it just shows the skin
players that just shows a perpetual colored bars but will never
play anything. Pretty sure I've uploaded all the necessary files. I
keep getting this error, can someone tell me what this means? I
would so appreciate it. I got it to work in the past but not this
time - not sure if it's related to my upgrading to CS4 or not:
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file

kglad,
I fixed that CLICK. I took out the import statements like you
suggested. On the output I am getting this now-
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::MovieClip@1c53e6a1 to flash.display.SimpleButton.

flash.display::Sprite/flash.display:Sprite::constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite$iinit()
at flash.display::MovieClip$iinit()
at site1_fla::MainTimeline$iinit()
Still the movie plays through and nothing action wise happens
with the buttons.
I do still have to give the buttons a action right? But it is
not letting me give them one. I do have them as buttons in every
way.

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash
<div id="flashContent">

Many thanks if you can help

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Flash movie plays prematurely

i have created a loader, which works, but when i test movie
and simulate download the movie starts playing before the loader
has finished... when it finally goes to the movie scene the movie
has already played part of the way through.
here is the code i already have (what do i need to add?):
loader.contentPath = "ice.worlds.2.swf";
loader.autoLoad = false;
pbar.setStyle("themeColor", "0x00AEEF");
pbar.setStyle("color", "0xCCCCCC");
pbar.setStyle("fontFamily", "verdana");
pbar.setStyle("fontSize", 10);
pbar.source = loader;
pbar.mode = "polled";
thanks in advance!

hi, the stop wasn't working because i hadn't run test movie
for the new swf file to export... ha ha.
i just added your code and it works! thanks so much. any
chance you can explain what it means? i know what it does, but i
don't understand why it works... plus it doesn't look anything like
any of the other code people were posting in other forums (none of
which was working anyway).

Embedding flash movie in a web page

I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?

If you are loading content ala using an xml file, that may be the source of the problem. When you load a Flash file into a web page, that web page becomes the frame of reference for any files that the swf loads. So if you tested this where the html file was in the same folder, but then moved things into different folders, then you need to adjust the Flash to load things as if it is in the html file's folder

Flash Movie to Play Sitewide w/o Re-Starting...

Hi,
Is it possible to have a Flash movie play sitewide without
re-starting on each page and without using frames?
How?
Thanks!

You could hack something with unique URL's to get the SWF to
stay on the correct section. I've seen some interesting ideas in
this train of thought for making the SWF work with the back button
of the browser. Essentially, you would cause each "page" or
"section" of your SWF to change the url to something like "
http://www.myWebsite.com?sect=portfolio"
changing the ?sect= at the end each time. Then, have the HTML
auto-read that URL variable and pass it into the SWF. In the SWF,
check to see if the variable exists, if not, play from the start,
if it does, go straight to that section. This would mimick the type
of behavior you are looking for, and you would have the added
benefit of a browser page-like structure that works with the
back/forward buttons.
The downside is you would need a page-refresh in-between SWF
sections, though the SWF would be cached, so the user wouldn't need
to re-download it. Of course, you could use some AJAX structure to
get rid of the white flicker of the screen...... but that is
another discussion entirely.
Hope I gave you a good starting point for some play. It may
be more of a hassle than its worth to do this, but definitely
possible.

Need code to embed Flash Movie in Web Page

1 - We want to embed a Flash Movie into a regular web page
and need the HTML code snippit sample on how to do it...
2 - What is the difference in HTML coding for a Flash Movie
and a regular SWF Flash File?
3 - Is the Flash Movie file format designed just for video
while swf is designed more for animation?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. Yes I uploaded all of the exported versions:
MVI_1235-Desktop.m4v
MVI_1235-iPhone-cell.3gp
MVI_1235-iPhone.m4v
MVI_1235-poster.jpg
MVI_1235.mov
All are residing in the folder with the reference movie and were not renamed. I noticed in the instructions there is a comment of including the <style> and <script> tags in the <head> of the page so that it validates as XHTML. I copied and pasted the <script> code, but I am not using any <style> tags. I wondered if that is contributing to the issue. Thanks again for the help.

Flash movie doesn't load properly in IE only

I have a simple flash movie which transitions through text and photos. I have a preloader (AS3) on frame 1, which sends the playhead to frame 2, after the movie has loaded 100%. For some reason, in Internet Explorer, the preloader bar will load all the way, but fail to move the playhead to frame 2, so it'll just sit there, with the preload bar at 100%. However, this does not happen every time. For instance, right now, the flash movie will play when I initially go to the website, but when I click on another page, the same flash header (same swf on each page) will just show the preloader bar but will not play the rest of the movie. Reloading the page doesn't help. Closing the browser and reopening it doesn't help. Clearing the browser cache doesn't help either. So, the flash movie will play correctly on the first page of the website I go to (whether it be the home page or another page) but then when I go to any other page which has the flash movie, it won't play, just sits there with the preloader bar showing. And then when going back to the initial page I entered the site on, the flash movie no longer plays there, either. I haven't seen this problem in any other browser than Internet Explorer (6 and 7). I've checked in Firefox on Mac and PC and Safari on Mac. I'm using flash player 10.0.22.87 on my Mac and PC. The flash movie was made in Flash CS3, for flash player 9, actionscript 3 code.
So, to see the problem, go here in Internet Explorer: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar. Wait for the movie to load and start playing. It works. Then, navigate to one of the other pages and you'll see that the same swf will not play. Navigate back to the home page, the swf does not play.
Here is the preloader code:
import flash.display.*;
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
    lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
    lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
    if (pcent>=100) {
        this.gotoAndStop(2);
Also, if I remove the preloader actionscript code, the flash movie plays correctly. You can see that here: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar/no-preload
The .fla is available to anyone who wants to take a closer look.

mjjp,
     In may just be that in IE, the ProgressEvent never fires -- because your content is already cached. See what happens if you add the following new lines (very end of the code sample):
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(
ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
if (pcent>=100) {
    this.gotoAndStop(2);
if (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded >= this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
     See what's going on? This way, even of the ProgressEvent handler never fires, you're still comparing the bytesLoaded property against the bytesTotal property.

Need some advice on how to make this Flash movie

I have 5 flash movies which are all exported swf files from Camtasia. Now I have to design a Flash movie which has 5 Icons on a blank screen which point to each of these movies. When the user clicks on one movie the exported swf from Camtasia should play and when its finished it shoudl go back to Main Menu page.
a) Is it possible to include a controllable progress bar for a SWF movie
I am just looking for advice , like do this and do that. I shall try and write the code myself.
cheers

You may find the VideoPlayer class helpful:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/VideoPlayer.html#includ eExamplesSummary
There's some sample code there which shows you how to put a video player on a movie and play something. You would just need to add some buttons and stuff. That example is Actionscript 3. Things will be different if you have an older version of Flash.

Buttons do not function after Flash Movie

I have a page with a number of buttons and a couple of flash
"list" components. One of these lists, gives the user an option to
select one of two modules and then navigates to a marker where a
flash movie plays. When the user exits the flash movie. This is
done via and exit button in the flash movie itself they returnt to
the page where they started. After navigating to that page
following the flash movie many but not all of the buttons are no
longer functional, e.g they do not receive mouseEnters etc.

Are the buttons in question Director buttons or Flash
buttons? In either case, is the code for these buttons in a
behavior that is attached to each button? Is there any part of this
code that disables the button?

Unloading FlashPaper Document from Flash Movie

I'm using the following script to play a FlashPaper movie clip:
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
//   path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i, loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false)     {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", true);
fp.showUIElement("Print", true);
fp.showUIElement("Find", true);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", true);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", true);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", true);
fp.showUIElement("Page", true);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", true);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(8);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("theDocMC",100);
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = -220;
theDocMC_mc._y = -150;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
//   size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("MarketingDoc.swf", theDocMC_mc, 500, 350, this);
Everything works fine on all pages including the page with the FlashPaper movie. The problem is after I visit the page with the FlashPaper movie my file starts to play through all the pages and wont stop.
I'm new to flash and this has been driving me mad. Any tips would be greatly apprciated.
files attached for example of my problem:
Thanks.

getURL action and instead of URL, path to your file on sever.
Depends on user end, if the browser has DPF plugin, the file
will
automatically open so if you want to force download, zip that
file.
ZIP always prompt download dialog.

CS3 Flash Movies in Webpages Problem

I know how to make a generic flash movie player and all that
in flash cs3 with their tutorials/quick import, but i cant quite
seem how to find this:
When you say embed a youtube video to myspace, or online they
don't auto load, instead they seem to have a swf button with the
big play icon sitting there till you hit it, then it loads the
animation and autoplays.
What coding does this? Is there a tutorial?
Someone told me to just do this but didn't know the coding on
how to do it or any tutorials online to do it:
-If you do not want the Flash file to load until a user
clicks on a play button, take a screen capture of the first frame
of your movie.
-Put it on your html page and then make a button that looks
like your play button in the movie.
-Put this button in a DIV and then place the DIV where you
want it on your screen capture image.
-Have this button replace the image with the Movie SWF file.
Basically what you are trying to do is trick the user into
thinking it's the SWF file, but only loading the SWF file when the
user clicks on the fake play button.
Any Ideas?

you should be able to stop the playback of either the swf
file timeline itself or a video - depending on which you are using.
if it on the timeline (a regular swf file) place a - stop(); -
method on the first frame - then place a graphic 'over the top' of
everything that is a button instance - then you would code a
handler for the button, that a) removes the button, and b) calls
the timeline to start using the play(); method.
if you are streaming in a FLV video, you will need to turn
off the autoplay property, and then create a similar button, and
use the play() method of the FLVPlayback component class.
either way it's going to be easier than constructing all that
other stuff and the JS to go along with it.

Help targeting flash movie

I am trying to find a way to have my flash movie play on the
same dreamweaver page.
I have five buttons on the left. When I click each one I want
them to play a different flash file in the same location on the
right. As you click a different button a new flash file replaces
the old one in the same location on the right. Each flash file is a
different size. Also I designed this and sliced it in photoshop,
saved for web and devices the opened the html file in dreamweaver.
Can my issue with this still be solved.
Please help. Thanks

Look at Wimpy Streaming audio/video Player. One player can
handle all your
flash videos and MP3 audio clips. Very easy to install, dirt
simple to
update playlists later.

Flash Controls Not Showing On Web Page

Hi-
Been beating my head lately using Flash Pro 8 and DW 8.02.
Here is the latest difficulty:
Created a Flash video file in Premiere Elements 4
Imported the .flv Flash video file into Flash 8 using import
video
Added an external skin to the video
Saved Flash .fla file
Exported movie in .swf format
I can open the .swf file in Flash Player 8 and it works fine.
I can also use the Publish setting in Flash to export the necessary
files as well as the HTML file. When viewed in either Firefox or IE
it plays correctly and the player controls are present. However, if
I create a new page in DW8 and then Insert > Media > Flash,
point it to the .swf file and then view it in Firefox or IE I can
only see the .flv Flash video file and none of the controls/skin
that should be there. I know the controls/skin are actually present
because I can browse directly to the .swf file and it displays
works properly. I can also use the publish settings from Flash to
create the HTML page and it works correctly as well. It is only
when the page is generated by DW8 that I get this problem. I have
looked at the code created by DW8 and cannot find any reference to
the .swf file for the movie controls/skin. Any idea why DW8 would
only be placing the Flash video .flv file on the page and not
writing the code to place the entire Flash movie .swf on the page?
I have tried restarting/rebooting, created a new "clean" test page
with only the Flash movie on it and it is always the same. The
other thing that is weird is I did not select Autoplay or Loop in
the DW8 settings nor in Flash 8, yet when I preview the page
created by DW8 in a browser, piece of the Flash movie I can see
(the Flash video part) autoplays and loops!
Again, any help is appreciated.
-=SB

Update- This is what I have discovered while playing around
with the page and Flash file:
If I create the .swf files for the movie and skin and then
save them to the same directory as the .Flash video file and then
view the .swf file everything works fine.
If I then create a web page using DW8 and insert the Flash
into the page and save the web page to the exact same directory as
all the other files and then view the web page in a browser, it
works fine. However, if I create a new web page in DW8, save it to
any other directory other than the one where the .swf and .flv
files are located and then view the page in a browser only the .flv
Flash video portion of the movie will display in the browser--the
controls are missing. However, if I browse directly to the .swf
file and avoid going through the DW8 generated web page the Flash
movie displays properly with the controls in the correct location.
My question then is why will DW8 not show the Flash movie with
controls if the page is located in higher level directory than the
.swf and .flv files and yet browsing directly to the .swf file with
my browser works just fine? I have checked the path to the .swf
file in the DW8 source code and it is pointing to the correct
directory location. This is so strange--why will it display one way
