Flash object isn't behaving in FF

Hello again all
Got yet another problem - thought I'd got it cracked but no,
not happening.
Please have a look at
http://wharfstudio.thecolourfactor.co.uk/wedding/gallery.html.
It's not
playing nicely in Firefox - why???
Please please can someone help me with this - client of the
guy I'm doing
this for has to look at this tomorrow and I left it a bit
late....
It's working just lovely in IE :o(
Course I could just tell him to make sure the client looks at
it on a PC
with IE, not FF and not on a MAC with IE5.2...
By the way, my previous post regarding this page
http://wharfstudio.thecolourfactor.co.uk/wharf.html
is still floating in the
ether...but it's not so serious, can wait a bit.
I really help with the wedding page though....:o)
Cheers
Judi

Okay - I think it's the wmode=transparent thing - or at least
that's what
people are saying [did a search on Google] - I'll give it a
bash tomorrow
morning - must crash now,very tired :o)
Cheers

Flash object undefined

I've added the following to my .ASPX page:
<object style="position:absolute; left:-169px; top:0px;"
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="170" height="60" id="FlashFileUpload" align="middle"
VIEWASTEXT>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="misc/FlashFileUpload.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#d4d0c8" />
<embed src="misc/FlashFileUpload.swf" quality="high"
wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#d4d0c8" width="170" height="60"
name="FlashFileUpload" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
The .swf and code checks out fine within a plain .html file
but when i plug it into my .ASPX page outside the <form> tag
(or even within) i get a "FlashFileUpload is undefined" javascript
error window. I've debugged it and foudn it is an eror within some
foreign code (possibly Macromedia Flash marshalling code between JS
and the .SWF ?)
I'm confused. The error occurs immediately when the page
appears. I had an <body onload> to initialize some key areas
within the .SWF file but removed it, so the JS error isn't being
caused by any of my own JS code. The FlashFileUpload is an ID of
the <object> tag and is only used once as an ID and again as
a name attribute for <embed>. The flash object does have an
onscreen display and yes i do see it in my browser window despite
the several JS error windows however interaction with it from my
web page via JS seems impossible. Again all is fine within Firefox
and within a plain HTML web page.
Im using Flash 8 on Windows 2003 and IE6 and am making use of
external.ExternalInterface.

Did you check the generated page? Meaning, since you might be
working in
.Net, it usually adds some code, HTML & Javascript, just
try to debug the
page generated by IIS (If you've not done so already). The
other option is,
remove the VIEWASTEXT (but I'm not quite sure what this one
does, just
wondering if this is a flag processed by .Net).

Activate a flash object in the browser

I'm using a flash object in my html and I would like to avoid
the annoying click every time a flash object should be activated. I
know there is a way by using a 3th party program or script
(swobject or something like that) but isn't there a Adobe
Dreamwweaver/Flash way of doing that?
/Rudy

You can uses adobe's approach:

or others:
e.g. swfobject

Help w/ Flash Object inserted into DW page

Hi,
I'm using DW MX2004 on a Pwrbk G4. I created a Flash object
(a page-flipping gallery) in Flash, and while it previews fine in
Flash MX'04 (size of the .swf in pixels, I WANT it to be 1050 W
& 713 H so the page is big enough to view well on a browser and
the pages can flip correctly), once the object is inserted into DW,
it isn't showing up as the same size. The default size in DW is 550
x 440 I think, and when I try to change the dimensions--even to the
exact size it was in Flash--the images once previewed are always
distorted or the preview shows only part of the image and the pages
aren't flipping (this, I believe b'cos the entire .swf movie isn't
displayed so the corners can be dragged/clicked). I know I'm doing
something wrong or missing some step, can someone help?
Thanks

I am not sure what exactly you are experiencing but it sound
like something somewhat similar to what I recently went through. I
tried to embed a swf in my HTML page using DW and there was a
border that would appear that was not there in FLash. I eventually
found a setting in Flash Publish settings that said " no border "
...this was under the "HTML" settings in the Publish settings
dialog box. I published my html page and then cut most of the code
from that page and manually embed it in my Dw html page. Kind of
pain but it worked.
Try publishing the HTML page from flash and then viewing that
page in DW and see if your swf is the right size. It may be that
you can't use DW to Embed your SWF.

Shockwave Flash object in Word2007 only converting to Image in PDF using Acrobat9 Pro

I set the Shockwave Flash object to embed: True & the video is located locally, so why isn't Acrobat 9 Pro converting the word video to pdf video.
I've tried:
- using 'Acrobat' section on Word ribbon to convert
- saving Word file to Acrobat using word's 'save as' command
- using Adobe printer within Word
- opening the Word file from within Acrobat
Ive just reskimmed the Word 'advanced' & 'saving' options & I can't see any extra checks to make.
Thanks for this,
Sem.

hi thanks Bernd, 2 questions:
Can Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do this (as well as Extended - from the product comparsion chart it seems so...)?
If the full version can, does the trial version also enable this - am not really looking forwards to paying for software & then finding still yet to be resolved..?
Thanks for this, others also interested on various sites will keep them informed.

Very simple javascript will override the IE7 settings, and
allow the flash to play each time, without user intevention.
There's not really another way as far as I know, because this
depends on the user's browser. Anything that would be done from
Dreamweaver would be server-side, whereas the Java runs client
side:
- Underneath the last <object> in your HTML page,
insert the following line of Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="ieupdate.js"></script>
- create a file called ieupdate.js, with the following
content:
objects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
objects
.outerHTML = objects.outerHTML;
- Upload the file to your web root.
Fixed!
Hmmm, my first post on this forum - It's a bit bland. Can't
even add code tags around code. Can't see emoticons without
previewing the topic. Gosh!

How to read a local file using as3 in a flash object in HTML? [urgent]

My web site contains a flash object.
I want to use as3 to read some local .txt file
by getting the user directory of the file.
i know AIR can support this by sth like:
File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath
but when i open a AIR file for this, it seems
the action cant be run when i embed it in html.
And i tried to use the above function in a normal
flash file in the action script.
But it cant recognize the File. class..
How can it be done ?
It's reli urgent,
please help...
Thanks !

a web based flash app can't detect user directories. you can use the filereference class'es browse method to let the user locate a file in any directory the user wants. flash can then retrieve the file's name and type. but, as mentioned before, flash can't determine the file's directory.

Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated

Hello,
Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated.
I've installed Adobe Flash Player Version 16.0.0.287 (today).
then
I checked on this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/de/flash-player.html
says Flash Player not installed or not activated
Active X Version 16.0.0.287
Internet Explorer 11
Win 7 SP1 32 Bit
Please help me.
Thank you in advance
Paul

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Can there be buttons/links on or in flash object?

Hi, I have no idea how to ask this question properly. I am only designing this, not making it, so simple answers for me would be good, but also technical answers that I can pass on to the flash person.
On my home page, I am going to have 3 images that switch out, each that need to have a "learn more >" link and a 1, 2, 3, and pause buttons.
My question is whether or not these image buttons/links can be placed on or embedded in the flash object. I read this is not possible and that buttons or links have to be separate from flash. Ideally if I wanted to place a "go" button on top of my flash image, that would be great.
However I have been told the only option is to make one side of this in photoshop where I have the buttons and then place that next to the flash image. My example of this would be the msn.com home page.
If further descriptions are needed I can post an example.

Your image hasn't loaded yet, so I'll describe what you should do. Chances are you will only need one set of buttons to manage everything rather than creating a set for each image.
If you want to convert each of these items into usable buttons, then select one of them, being sure that all its pieces are selected, then right click on it and select Convert to Symbol ( select it and in the toolbar choose Modify -> Convert to Symbol).
In the interface that appears, select Button (you could also select MovieClip, but for now, select Button) and give it a name that relates to its functionality in some way, just so it is recognizable by its name in the library. Click OK.
Do that for all of the items you want to turn into buttons. To make things easier to manage, you should place the buttons on their own layer in the timeline.
If you are handing this over to someone who knows Flash, they should be able to deal with coding the buttons to function the way you want.

HTML page with FLASH object doesn't reload upon a redirect

Am using: ECC 6.0 and ABAP SAPGUI development
Hi All,
I'm seeing a frustrating issue that i'm hoping others have seen and resolved.
Here is what i'm attempting and below that is the issue:
1) I have created a ABAP program in which i'm using the HTML viewer (class: cl_gui_html_viewer ) within a container that is on one of my ABAP screens.
2) I load up a web page on our (intra)network that displays an HTML page that has a nice FLASH navigation object. This navigation object operates as such - when a node is clicked it will go to another html page (on the same network) that will then parse apart what node they clicked on and via javascript submit a form in which I've defined a SAPEVENT for.
3) My ABAP program has defined the event handler for this sap event and calls the appropriate method just fine (ON_SAPEVENT). I am able to trap the event details and do some other things.
This is all working just fine, except....I want it to then go back to the first page (original page) that contained the FLASH navigation on it upon after the page that trapped the SAPEVENT is complete automatically. Easy? - that's what I thought...I tried several different ways to do this "go_back" on the html control, "show_url" (with the original URL)...even a redirect in the actual html page itself to go back.
They all DO go back to the first page, however my flash navigation object on that page NEVER shows up! It's almost like the frontend is thinking it is already loaded and will not load it again. I thought maybe I need to do a "flush" or some such - but that didn't seem to solve it. Has anyone seen this and resolved it or knows what this is? The thing is...I can completely exit out of the program - and the flash object will load just fine (but only after I wait a minute or so). What gives...anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Flash objects not displaying in Firefox (but works fine in Chrome and IE)

Well, I'm trying to embed a Shockwave Flash object into a website I'm building. It displays in Chrome and IE, but it doesn't show up at all in Firefox. It's just white space. Ive tried it on two machines, so it's presumably the code. Both the machines have Adobe Flash enabled... I'm not sure what the problem is. I've not worked with embedding Flash objects in HTML before, so, it's probably something really obvious. I just used the insert command on dreamweaver and it wrote the code that I'm using. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. Here's my code:
<pre><nowiki><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="99%" height="600" id="FlashID">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />

<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

If you can't post an address for a page demonstrating the problem, could you check the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) and Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j) for any messages related to the Flash media? For example, does either console show that Firefox is requesting the SWF file? Does either show an error in content type or any kind of security message?

Problem Viewing Flash Object in IE

I have been managing my wife's website. She had someone design it, then the guy stopped responding, so I took over. Im somewhat of a beginner, so I cant figure this one out, and have looked online for resolutions. There are two pages on her site that have flash objects. When you go to either page in IE, you get an error : Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. It then gives you a link to update, which lets you update, but then doesnt resolve the problem. Like I said, someone else did the basic design, so im not sure where they went wrong.
The two pages are:
http://www.karabakerphotography.com/index.html
and
http://www.karabakerphotography.com/gallery.html
The pages work fine in Firefox and Safari. So its only IE that doesnt work. I know differet browsers can use different versions of Flash. I have been using Dreamweaver CS4.
I have not spoken with anyone who can view it using IE. Everyone that uses IE has mentioned the problem to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any further info from me, just let me know.

Do the flash communicate with files which is outside of the sitedomain?

Flash Player isn't visible on web page

After recently updating the Flash Player on my computer with the latest version, the player is no longer visible on many web pages; all that is visible is a blank white box. I've never had trouble with the player in the past. This problem seems restricted to the limited account since the player seems to work fine in the administrator account. I read the support page "Troubleshoot Flash Player Installation | Windows" at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
The page http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ says the player is successfully installed and shows the version information in the little box.
With the browser closed and no other software open, I uninstalled the player twice using the uninstaller at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html After the first uninstall I downloaded the player with the Adobe Download Manager http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and after the second uninstall I downloaded the player with the manual installer http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html - EXE version. There were no download or installation errors.
I verified the browser security and ActiveX settings and they were fine. I tried turning off the pop-up blocker, but that had no effect. I checked the browser for the status of the Flash Player add-on (Shockwave Flash Object - 10.1.102.64) and it was enabled. I tried turning off the antivirus software (ESET NODE32), but that had no effect.
The Global Storage Settings panel shows a check mark in the "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer."
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
Operating system: Windows XP Professional SP3 (32 bit)
Web browser: Internet Explorer 8.0 (32 bit)
Flash Player: 10.1.102.64

This is an update to my original post. I uninstalled Flash Player 10.1.102.64 for the third time and downloaded and saved the previous version of Flash Player, 10.1.85.3, from here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html#main_Archived_versions I rebooted and ran the uninstaller a second time as per the readme.txt that came with the downloaded file which referenced this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html I rebooted again and installed Flash Player 10.1.85.3 which is working just fine. So, good riddance to the latest version of Flash Player (10.1.102.64). I will not consider updating again until they release the next version after 10.1.102.64.

Hi Venky CRMIT, Bruce007
Aside from the question, I tried another methods and I have succeeded calling webservice. A reference URL is

Main cause may be jsessionID as you guess. When I try with EAI, I have send login information and message call at once, so URL may be incorrect.
