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

Flash Video problem on Adobe Connect 9

Hi Folks
having an issue I am hoping to get some light shed on - I am downloading content from an Adobe Connect 8 server and uploading to Adobe Connect 9 server in a seperate domain. 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
Paul C

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

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.
John Dunning built a plugin for Fireworks to export a spritesheet as an Edge symbol:

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.

Flash plays slow!

I need help. I have the frame rate set at 12fps but when I
play it it moves extremely slow like at 1.8fps. does anyone know
wha the problem is?

yes - absolutely you need to compromise - but exactly how is
hard to say without seeing the images
in question, the level of animation, etc...kinda flying blind
here - but basically when it comes to
animating very large imported images in flash, you simply
cannot avoid poor playback performance
because flash was never designed to render on the fly
something so processor intensive - that's the
bottom line.
You need to make your images smaller (width and height) and
find the balance between playback
performance and animation quality and image size - beyond
that, it is up to you.
can you provide a URL? I will take a look - i animate with
bitmaps all the time with 24fps and no
issues.
what kind of processor are you testing on?

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.

Adobe Connect as an LMS and Adobe Captivate html 5

We are using Adobe Connect as an LMS.
We can create and publish Adobe Captivate modules as html 5,
Our problem is iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) can't access the courses through adobe Connect's courses and content because it is flash based and not supported by iOS.
The result is we have html 5, we can publish it to Adobe Connect, iOS devices can use the link to run the course, but we can't use it with the Adobe Connect Course displays.
Has any found a way to do that?
Thank you.

Ashwani,
Thank you for your request. I asked my developer for moire information - here are his clarifications for my question:
================================================================================
Technically it's Adobe Connect itself and a curriculum on Adobe Connect that are giving us the problem. I just borrowed an iPad and tried to login to Adobe Connect. I can't even login - it tells me I need to download Flash.
So the issue doesn't have anything to do with Captivate, it's Adobe Connect. We don't need to share any content - just try to login to Adobe Connect and you get stopped right there.
The real issue is
iOS users can't access HTML5 content on Adobe Connect because they can't login to Adobe Connect - that requires Flash. That means Adobe Connect isn't acting as an LMS, it's just a web server holding two kinds of content that you can link to. How can we login to Adobe Connect from an iOS device to see the list of curricula and access the courses they contain as an LMS with reporting, etc.?
=====================================================================
Would you still need to see the content?
Thank you,
Bill

Adobe connect screen share shows blank screen

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.

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

Adobe connect asking for flash v10.3 or higher but I have v11.4 installed????

I never had this problem before, but recently upgraded my flash and yesterday (Sept. 5) while testing a connection to a meeting room received this message:
Adobe connect requires flash v10.3 or higher
and provided a button to download the latest version, which I did, and downloaded v. 11.4. tried the link to the meeting room a second time and again was told to install flash v10.3 or higher.
So I UN-INSTALLED flash player altogether, got cclean and cleaned up my registry files and downloaded flash player again (v11.4, again) and I still get this message telling me I need 10.3 or higher.
Should I un-install v11.4 and install an older (but higher than v10.3) version????
Please help - I provide technical support and registration assistance and if I can't solve this issue it's going to cause me a lot of problems in terms of providing proper support to my clients.

Hello,
I would like to strongly recommend that you update your version of Flash Player to our currently released version (17.0.0.169) and enable auto updates. The version you are using is insecure and opening your computer (and all of your data) to being easily exploited by bad guys.
As for the error you are receiving, this is most likely a restriction from the website. Each developer is able to specify what the required minimum version of Flash and require their users to have at least that version installed. The detection that is occuring and the message that you are seeing on the website isn't part of Flash Player, but instead part of the website's code.
If you go to this page and click the "Check Now" button, what is displayed (OS, browser and version number)? Do you see the "tree" animation playing below?

Flash file into captivate playing slow first time

Hi.
I am very new to flash but have been using Captivate for
awhile now. I am trying to create an animation in flash of a book
flipping pages. I have 9 jpg images of the various stages of the
book flipping. When I import the first image into Flash it asks if
I want to include the entire series of images. I said yes to this
and now I am stuck. When I test the movie in Flash it plays slow
once and then really fast after that.
I saved it and imported it into a captivate project and the
same thing is happening. It plays really slow and choppy. If I
navigate away from the page and then come back to it, it plays
really fast (faster than I'd like but I'd prefer that to slow)
Any help. I searched on the Flash forum and found someone
else with this issue but they never got a response.
Any suggestions would be great. I am sure I am missing a step
here but I just can't figure out what it is.
Thanks,
Kim

When you say you play it, in either Captivate or Flash, do
you mean
locally or that you upload it somewhere and play it back
through a web
browser from that website location?
If the former, then I'm not sure. If the latter, sounds like
the images
are Very Large and it's taking a while for them to download
in order to
play...but once they're downloaded and 'cached', the file
plays quickly.
How large are your published SWFs? What format are your
images? What DPI?
Erik

Opening pdfs from Connect Stored Content flashes content and disappears???

I've checked the existing threads and don't see this exact problem, so here goes - I hope someone can help!
I am using Adobe Connect and have pdfs stored on the server in my hosted account. When I use Firefox, and I click on the link to bring up the pdf, a new window opens, the file loads and displays for a fraction of a second and then the window goes white. If I hit refresh, the file flashes again and disappears. It works OK in IE, but I seem to have this problem with all the pdfs in the Connect environment using Firefox. I can view other pdfs in Firefox, just not these ones. It happens whether I am in the admin section and click a link from the stored content area, or copy/paste the url into the browser and try to access it that way.
I'm using a PC, Windows 7, 64 bit, Firefox 10.0.2, and have installed all the updates for Connect. Help?!
Cheers, Kit.

It sounds like you have an issue with using more than one Apple ID. Only one Apple ID owns the purchased content. If a different Apple ID tries to access it, issues result.

How to stop Adobe Connect Pro from resizing my content window?

Version info: Adobe Connect Pro version 8
When I upload training content in the form of output of a SWF to my company's Connect server, and then play back the training content, the size of the window that Connect opens is whatever size I have created the SWF to be.
However, when I upload training content in the form of a collection of files that include HTML and SWFs, and then play back the training content, the size of the window that Connect opens is always the same (735 x 630), no matter what size I make my SWFs to be, no matter what size I make my HTML to be (using onload="resizeTo(1024,768)").
I have done extensive research but have not been able to find a way to fix this. My training viewers are complaining about this! I have saw a post that this is a setting hidden deep in the installation files on the Connect server itself. Is that true? Is there any way to change this setting?
I appreciate any tips or suggestions.
Liz

Hey Aadesh, thank you for your answer
I hope the links for the pictures work, i wasn't quite sure which link to copy.
as you can see, i work on a small computer, and unfortunately, it makes quite a big difference...

Clicking on tools it what I do each time, but I would have loved to find a way to be able to write something without having that bar show up... Would you have any idea if this would be possible? For example when you click on the highlight tool, the "comment" task pane does not automatically open, this only happens with the "Tool" task pane.
Maybe there is a parameter I could apply?

Rtmfp connection between content running on flash player and air for mobile

HI, I've been developing an app for some time that makes use of a secondary application as a remote controller.
Until AIR3.5 this worked smoothly through RTMFP: the original app (the "player") started listening at both local network ("rtmfp:") and with the aid of the Cirrus service ("rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net/mycirruskey"). The controller app (the "remote") first try to establish a connection on the local network and, if it does not succeed, try to locate the player using Cirrus (usually when it was run from a device connected on a 3G network).
This approach was surprisingly effective (I guess rtmfp and the cirrus service are indeed very nice), but now I'm updating my apps using AIR3.7 and the problems began - and I didn't change a single line from the original code... First, I am unable to connect the mobile app to the flash player using local rtmfp, the netgroup just doesn't get any neighbor. Second, even with the aid of Cirrus, I can only establish the connection if the player and the remote are connected on different networks (like one on my wifi connection and the other on 3G). If I put both, the computer running the player and the mobile running the remote on the same wifi, the connection is never completed.
To make the problem even stranger, if I save the player as an AIR application, for mobile or desktop, the cirrus connection does work perfeclty, so it seems that the problem is related to connections to the flash player itself.
Is this an expected baheviour of AIR3.7 for some sort of security issue (limiting flash player/air apps connection)? If not, is there a way to solve it?
Thank you!

Added one yesterday:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3560258
Interestingly air 3.7 on IOS to Desktop air 3.7 will work.
I am investigating if I can use 3.7 on Android to connect to 3.7 on iOS - so far I cannot get the apk to install on my Galaxy S3, compile using 3.4 and all is good. Air runtime has been updated via Play store - and build uses compiled runtime.
I cannot get Flash player 11.4 to connect with air 3.7 on iOS either.
NetGroup.Neighbour.Connect never fires.
All SDKS above 3.4 upto 3.8 beta exhibit the same problem.
3.4 works perfectly and can connect to flash player, and other Air/iOS devices just fine.
Shuld not be a issue with firewalls etc, thay are all open.
I can email you the fla, it is for a product so I can't post it here.
Thanks,
Steve.
