Flash Movie Presentations in Adobe Connect

We have been working with one of our customers on delivering
an on line sales tool using the Adobe Connect environment. They for
the usual legal reasons wished to use a sales aid they had already
created. This was a flash based CD-rom with various flash movies
initiated by rollovers and buttons.
But there was two problems:
1. The index would not work i.e. the menu page appeared but
the subsequent movies and animations could not be found
2. The click throughs and rollovers would not synchronizes,
i.e. if the presenter moved forward through the presentation the
participants did not.
Both of these obviously make it useless.
After over three weeks of R&D we (David Kwaw , Steve
Grovenor and J ) have developed a bespoke piece of programing,
based on Sync SWF
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobatconnect/articles/basic_syncswf_pt1.html
That solves this issue, we have since refined the coding so
that ONLY the presenter has control of the flash presentation,
making it more like Adobe Presenter just ALOT more flexible and
better looking.
If you would like to know more... just drop us a line.

Everything except for the alpha transparency video is easily doable in Edge.
Rather then trying to shoehorn html5 video with an alpha transparency into Edge (not sure if this is doable), you could potentially use a png sequence or spriteSheet to play back those animations. Though the file size will be very large, and Edge does not have native implementation for png sequences or spriteSheet playback. yet.

Hi Folks

All has been working fine except for Flash Videos - anytime I upload a flash video (FLV) format and attemt to access it eitehr directly on the server or remotly get a grey screen. Is there any particular add ons required to enable flash video to work with Adobe Connect 9 , using Flash 10, OS is Windows 2008 R2
thanks in advance

Nope. Looks good though and glad you got it sorted.

Flash playing slow in Adobe Connect 8 Content

We are being upgraded to Adobe Connect 8 next week. WE have a temporary Adobe Connect 8 and playing with it we find that when we load a flash file intro a Content area, it gives us the standard URL but if you try to play the video it just does not stream well as in our previous Adobe Connect.
So, any tips---I don't see any options to make the streaming better----and we have the fastest lightning speed connection.
Any suggestions appreciated.
best, Ted

Collaboration Builder and Presenter in Adobe Connect

I have a project which requires reporting features out of Adobe Presenter, but we want to now integrate it with collaboration builder to have host lead sessions. Has anyone had experience with these two areas? I am getting very little out of my searches simply with Collaboration Builder. I am looking for someone with experience with the reporting feature of virtual classrooms, and specifically getting the reporting of that type of meeting to work with Collaboration Builder sdk, to load another game swf, which holds our game content. Viewer.swf is confusing in the current scheme of Presenter file structure, because I do not know what tasks that swf carries out, so I can incorporate them into my Flex shell to run a Presenter type game in Adobe Connect with my Flex shell. Not sure if that was clear, please ask any questions you have about this structure.

Presenter does use the Collaboration Builder SDK, though to the exact implementation, I'm not able to say.
Full documentation for the Collaboration Builder SDK, go to the Connect Developer center, Adobe Connect | Adobe Developer Connection That may help clarify the functionality and implementation of the SDK into your Flex application.

Presenter in Adobe Connect

Hello,
I have a published Presenter presentation which I need to
load onto Adobe Connect. The Presentation contains Captivate
simulations. When I publish the file to my computer the published
version plays perfectly, but when I then place this file on Adobe
Connect I have a problem with the simulations.
The presentation plays through, but when it reaches each of
the simulations they are displaying their final slides. You need to
rewind each of them and then they play perfectly.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post or PM the presentation. Seeing it would help get
rid of the theoretical answers.

Adobe Presenter Quizzes Adobe Connect Polls

Can Adobe Presenter Quizzes/Surveys results be tied to display the results in Adobe Connect Polls?

No, they are completely separe functions. The answers can be viewed in the Reports section of the room in the same way though.
However in Connect 9, the poll pod does do short answer polls as well as the multiple choice/multiple answer polls.

Updating Flash Media Server within Adobe Connect

We have recently had a security audit done and one of the highlighted issues was that the version of Flash Media Server on our Adobe Connect servers (4.0.3) is no longer supported and that the supported version is 4.5. We are currently running Adobe Connect 9.1.1 and I am due to upgrade to 9.3 soon. Will updating to 9.3 also update the version of Flash Media Server to 4.5 or higher? Alternatively is it ok to just apply Flash Media 4.5 or higher?
Thanks

I don't believe that updating to 9.3 will update to FMS 4.5+. Connect is built on a version of FMS, and that usually doesn't change between full version releases.
The instance of FMS that is part of Connect is fully supported by Adobe as part of your Connect M&S. If there is a security issue that you have with it, outside of the version number, I would recommend that you bring those concerns up with Platinum Support to see if they apply, or are able to be resolved.

Is this interactive flash movie possible in Adobe Edge?

Hi,
I´ve done this interactive flash applikation:
http://bit.ly/Uy6GEF
Is it possible to create this exactly the same in adobe edge? If you click on a hotspot, then a 3d-video (this video is already done in a 3d-animation-software) with a transparent background appears over the car-layer and on click to "back" it softly disapears.
(For this online version, I´ve just put a compressed video into "Gasoline & Diesel system". Normally, every hotspot has a different video.
So, are those interactions possible in Edge?
Best regards,
Maw

Working with .swf files in Adobe Connect

My goal is to load custom made flash (.swf) presentations into Adobe Connect and present them to an audience (not using presenter)- however I am encountering the following issues:
1. The sound within the .swfs will not play (sounds works fine everywhere else, and was tested via the Audio setup wizard).
2. Many of the features within the loaded .swf do not work - sometimes causing runtime errors - does certain as3 code not work in the Adobe Connect environment?
3. "Synchronized Navigation" in the Shared Pod option menu is grayed out - I can not synchronize flash content? How can I control the presentation?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer.

Connect is an AS2 applicaton, and therefore, AS3 SWFs will not work (or not work properly).
If you want to correctly build an application to work in a Connect pod you need to follow the rules in the Collaboration builder, SDK documentation. This has not changed since Connect 6, thus the older version refference.

OSX Adobe Reader and Flash Movies

Hi,
first of all, sorry for my bad english :-)
I put two Flash-Movies to a PDF. One of them is a simple Text-Animation, the other one is a Image-Viewer. The Image-Viewer gets the Image Data from a XML File, that's hostet on our Webserver.
There are no Problems watching the PDF on my Windows Adobe Reader, so the crossdomain.xml Settings seems to be ok. But on OSX Leopard, the ImageZoomer wouldn't play. It seems on OSX the Flash Movie didn't get connection to the Internet, so the XML-File couldn't read. The Adobe Reader Settings are set to default, Reader Version is 9.0.
Has anyone the same problems or can tell me whats going wrong?

What is your operating system & version?
For Flash Player, try a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
For Adobe Reader I need to know your OS.

Video playback issue for Adobe Presenter 9 when publishing to Adobe Connect Pro 7

Hello!
I am having an issue with video playback for Adobe Presenter 9. When I preview the presentation on my computer there are no issues with any of the MP4 videos that I have loaded into my presentations. However, when I publish the presentation to Adobe Connect and access the URL the videos are either delayed or do not appear at all. We are using our own Adobe server which we purchased in 2008, along with Adobe Connect Pro 7. We recently updated our Adobe Presenter software to version 9. Is there an incompatibility issue between Adobe Presenter 9 and our current Adobe Server/current version of Adobe Connect? Or do I need to do something different in Adobe Presenter when importing the videos? Note: I have tried FLV videos and had the same issue.
We are trying to launch of series of webinars (each webinar has between 15-42 slides), which was the whole purpose of updating our Adobe Presenter and Adobe Captivate software....hopefully we can resolve this video issue.
Thanks!
Dana

Connect 7 didn't support MP4 video content, as I recall. Another issue is that Connect rooms are using Action Script 2 (AS2) while Presenter 9 uses AS3, and the two code languages don't play well together. You don't mention if you are using the meeting application to display the presentation, but it is worth mentioning. If the presentations are stand alone, then the AS3 issue should be non-existent, but the MP4 support may be.
Is there a reason you haven't updated the Connect software to Connect 9 (or at least Connect 8.1 where the Connect application became AS3 as a whole and supported MP4 content)?

Adobe connect screen share shows blank screen

Hello,
I am using adobe connect in Mac Lion. When I share my screen, the other people cannot see my screen, its just black. People cannot see any of my screen,
shockwave flash 11.1 r102
adobe connect pro version: connect_703_r25
Mac Lion
regards,
Ranjan

Not having the Screen Share icon sounds like they were a the Participant level of permissions in the room, and needed to be promoted up to Presenter or Host to be able to share their screen.
Here is a screen shot, with the Participant on the left and a Host/Presenter on the right:

Load webpage in flash movie?

I've been working with components for a while with a lot of
actionscript, and I really cannot find out how to put a website
inside a flash movie using the internet connection component. Am I
using the right component or am I trying the impossable? Please
respond. Thanks in advanced!

You can load the raw html - if flash is told (e.g. via
flashvars) the url of the page that you want (its available in
flash as what you would think of as the browser's 'view source'
style plain text) with either as2 or as3.
But you can't do full browser-style rendering of the content
because flash just can't do all that. You could parse the raw html
(probably a custom parser as I think the internal xml parser might
choke on some of the tags in html that are not closed such as
<br> etc) and just pick out bits of text or images that you
could display but you can't achieve an embedded browser.
Adobe's AIR might be more what you want - it has embedded
browser support- but it doesn't run inside a browser like flash.

Adobe Connect DON'T work under Debian 6

I can't watch a recorded presentation through adobe connect. I can watch it under windows 7, but not through Debian 6.
How can I solve this?

What flash version does it report as having according to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and what are the symptoms when opening the meeting recording under Debian? Do you get the same problem on other meeting recordings on other servers, if this is possible to test?
