Flash Preloader Not Working with Local Files?

Hello all,
I have created a digital resumé using a Flash
presentation. The presentation links to several SWF files that are
rather large. I have designed and implemented preloaders for the
files.
My intent is to burn the whole product to CD for
distribution. The problem I am having is that my Flash preloaders
work perfectly in FireFox; I click the button in the main
presentation and the preloader comes up in the target screen,
followed by the SWF.
However, the preloaders do not work at all in IE, which
leaves a black pane with nothing in it and causes the user to click
the button several times trying to figure out why nothing is
happening.
The Flash presentation that is being displayed is embedded in
a HTML document. The user clicks a button to load a SWF to a
separate screen; the preloader runs until the file is loaded.
Any help you could provide is appreciated.

I have attached the actionscript for the data connection. The
odd thing about this issue is some of the data is being displayed
from the webservice call and then some is not. The drop down list
is not being populated but I am getting some text in a textarea
that is on the form. My datasource is a SQL Server database and in
ColdFusion administrator, I used the actual machine name to point
to the datasource because it is directly linked to my web server.
This configuration is the one giving me problems. If I change the
datasource to my test SQL Server (server.somewhere.com) it works
fine. Does this help any?

  • Javascript not working with local files

    I am not able to get Firefox to execute javascript on local files. I have disabled all add-ons. The odd thing was, the first time I disabled all of the add-ons, it worked, then I re-enabled them one by one to see which one was causing the problem, it stopped, I disabled them all again so I could confirm that is was the add-on, and after that I have never been able to get any javascript to run.
    I have tried multiple files, even the most basic one listed in the Javascript tutorials, no luck. Chrome and Opera have no problems.

    Hi,
    why didn't you check the sy-batch (test if it's a background job) ? 
    use the DIR_TEMP of the SAP server when it's a background job.
    to get the physical directory you could use this kernel function :
      CALL 'C_SAPGPARAM' ID 'NAME'  FIELD 'DIR_TEMP'
                         ID 'VALUE' FIELD searchpoints-dirname.
    (dirname is a CHAR 75)

  • GetReceivedDate not working with local file

    hello :)
    im using this code to define a local file as MimeMEssage that i read in via StdIn.
         BasicConfigurator.configure();
         Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(new Properties());
                 InputStream source = System.in;
                  MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession, source);This works very well and i can use all methods MimeMessage offers.
    except one:
            Date maildate = message.getReceivedDate();i always get null here.
    GetSentDate works fine.
    and all the other get methods i tried.
    when i fetch this mail via the javamaildir class i have no problems getting the receivedDate.
    Does javamail need a real provider here?

    Pop3 doesn't support for getReceivedDate method (Imap supported)
    You can get received date on message's headers
    This is my snip code
    private static Date getDateHeader(javax.mail.Message msg) throws MessagingException {
    Date today = new Date();
    String[] received = msg.getHeader("received");
    if(received != null)
    for (int i = 0; i < received.length; i++) {
    String dateStr = null;
    try {
    dateStr = getDateString(received);
    if(dateStr != null) {
    Date msgDate = parseDate(dateStr);
    if(!msgDate.after(today))
    return msgDate;
    } catch(ParseException ex) { }
    String[] dateHeader = msg.getHeader("date");
    if(dateHeader != null) {
    String dateStr = dateHeader[0];
    try {
    Date msgDate = parseDate(dateStr);
    if(!msgDate.after(today)) return msgDate;
    } catch(ParseException ex) { }
    return today;
    private static String getDateString(String text) {
    String[] daysInDate = { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun" };
    int startIndex = -1;
    for (int i = 0; i < daysInDate.length; i++) {
    startIndex = text.lastIndexOf(daysInDate[i]);
    if(startIndex != -1)
    break;
    if(startIndex == -1) {
    return null;
    return text.substring(startIndex);
    private static Date parseDate(String dateStr) throws ParseException {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat ;
    try {
    dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yy HH:mm:ss Z") ;
    return dateFormat.parse(dateStr);
    } catch(ParseException e) {
    try {
    dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z") ;
    return dateFormat.parse(dateStr);
    } catch(ParseException ex) {
    dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z") ;

  • Has anyone not working with .dv files had synchronization problems?

    Has anyone not working with .dv files had sound synchronization problems? I'm not exactly sure what the alternatives to DV are, but I think one of them is HD.
    The reason for asking this question is to help isolate the nature and cause of a very serious flaw in iMovie '11. In the original release of iMovie '11 (version 9.0) there was a small--but serious--synchronization problem. In the 9.01 there is a large synchronization problem. We know of one person who has not experienced the problem, and he is not working with DV files (media). So we want to find out if anyone who is using something other than .dv files is experiencing a lack of synchronization between sound and picture. Knowing the answer to this will help with figuring out where the cause lies. For the initial iMovie '11 release (9.0), you probably would not notice a problem unless you had very long event-clips, e.g., two hours long. Events get this long if you are transferring from analog 8 mm tapes. Even then, it would have to be in scenes in which the connection between event and sound is obvious, e.g., close ups of people talking. It isn't until the 9.01 release that most people would notice anything. All we need to do is establish one case of a synchronization problem in which the person is using something other than DV.
    Message was edited by: Paul Bullen

    Hopefully, the 9.0.2 release will make my question moot. Zyfert must have posted the announcement of the release just as I was formulating my question. Still, if you have information on the subject, it would be interesting to hear.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

    Validation Event handlers will not work with your trusted recon. You can use the GTC Validation provider, it is nothing but the plugins which you can insert with in your source field in GTC. I think you can easily get the steps for how to create a custom GTC Providers.

  • Captivate 7 preloader not working - with screen captures for clarity

    Hi Community,
    so I'm working in the Captivate 7 trial version, because the preloader for Captivate 6 isn't working for me. We have a ~48MB project with mp3's on almost every slide, flash videos, flash animations, quizzes and plenty of jpegs.
    Before we publish the project we make sure we click everything that's needed, but because it's still not working I took screen shots of all the settings. Maybe I'm missing something, I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you guys so much!!
    Nat

    I'm assuming here that your preloader animation is at least appearing when you are loading the file so that you KNOW it IS working.
    Try setting your preloader progressively higher until you find the percentage at which the load times start INCREASING again.  If you have a lot of videos in your project, setting the preloader at a very low value like 10% doesn't necessarily affect the load times that much because Captivate still has to load a certain amount of the total number of assets before it can start to play anyway.  It could be that you have a whopping great event video right near the start of the project and that's what is causing the lengthy delay.
    If your issue is still with the preloaders NOT appearing at all, then the only settings that would affect this are the ones on the Preferences > Project  > Start and End > Preloader path and percentage.  The path looks to be fine, but if preloader animations are not visible at all, try changing to a different preloader.  Maybe only SOME of them work.  The Default.swf preloader is usually reliable.

  • BrowserLab won't work with local files in DW CS5

    Any issue report you make about BrowserLab on these forums should minimally contain the following information. If it doesn't, the first response you get from us will likely just ask for the missing info anyway
    Subject
    A descriptive summary of the issue.
    The body should contain:
    Problem Description
    A brief description of the bug or issue
    Steps to Recreate
    The steps we should follow to reproduce your issue. Minimally include all the following:
    Does the issue happen every time, is it sporadic, or did it only happen once.
    Are you testing on Mac or Windows?
    Are you using the main BrowserLab interface, testing via Dreamweaver integration (and if so, what version of DW), or using the BrowserLab for Firebug add-on?
    What is the URL you're testing against. If it's not public, let us know and let us know if you can send us the page source.
    Expected Results
    Based on the steps you described, what you thought should happen

    Using BrowserLab in DW 11.0 Build 4964, BrowserLab can't seem to work. Some not very intuitive places I have checked include making sure the signon credentials are in the CSLive window in DW.
    In preview local/browser, the following messages are disappointing me:
    Timed Out, Failed to Authenticate with Browserlab
    Session Expired, See Browser
    It is on a Mac, 10.6.7, using DW integrated testing. I can log into browserlab and put a public URL, but I don't think that's going to be much better for me than having VMWare and installing free browsers on Mac and Windows, and given the failures here that would be better for local file checks too. I write this because I wonder if I will be disappointed trying to get this to work and then find out I have to pay a yearly subscription to CSLive to be able to keep using it.
    This is on a private URL and I can send the page source, but I don't think its the page that is causing the issue.
    Expected results:
    Able to preview page in any browser of my choosing
    Actual results:
    Spent the last two hours navigating help, googling possible solutions, getting many errors trying to navigate the Adobe help and forums, continually signing in on each adobe page I open. Expecting to have to reauthenticate to post this message. (Updated extension manager as well).

    Hi,
    First, there is no charge currently for using CSLive and there won't be any charge for another year.
    Second, based on what you're saying about the behavior you're seeing with BrowserLab and the issues you had with continually having to sign onto the Adobe pages, it's a strong indication that you've got cookies disabled in your browser or that something on your machine is deleting/expiring the cookies we are trying to set. What browser/version are you using and what kinds of permissions have you got set for cookies in that browser? Can you check that and change your cookie permissions for Adobe.com at least?
    Let me know if that helps or not,
    Mark

  • How to setup new site in dreamweaver if not working with Local Site Folder?

    Dear All,
    I am working with a website design (wordpress) project with a group of people, since we are working together on the same design, our developing site is not located in the local folder but on remote server, but I can't setup the website in DW if the developing site is not located locally.
    Is there any way to do the development on remote server with DW, and what will be the site setup setting for it?
    thanks for any reply.
    bruce

    Sharing a "Local" site is a recipe for disaster vis-a-vis file versioning.  The best way to avoid these problems is to have three locations defined:
    1.  A local site (truly local to your computer, although it can be on a network, shared drive).
    2.  A staging site (this would be the intermediate holding site for partially finished work.
    3.  A production site (this would be where the final versions of files are pushed).
    Enable DW's Checkin/Checkout facility.  Each of you would checkout files from the staging server, and when finished editing, checkin those same files to the staging server.  Thus, you are not sharing a local site - you are sharing a remote file repository, which is your gold standard source for version protected files.
    Make sense?

  • Working with Local Files

    I have to develop a Web-Based application to run on each client's pc. Or, it could be to run on our intranet. This is for internal use only. The requirements are very simple:
    1. Web-Based
    2. Able to access local client's files
    3. Able to upload files via FTP
    4. Able to access a MySQL database to query some data
    I recently developed a Desktop Application using Visual Basic 2008 Express .Net 3.5. It works ok. Application will look for .pdf files on a specific folder on C: drive, rename the files according to some user's input and database query result, then upload the renamed files to an FTP server. No problem. However, the company don't want a desktop application. So, my goal is to re-create the application using a new Rich Internet Application technology. I then, created a Windows User Control in VB.net 3.5 and embedded the .dll in an html page. This works great on my local development pc, however, it will have some security issues when I try to run it on our intranet. It seems like the control (Activex), will not allow access to the local files. I just need access to be able to rename files on C:, that's it. Then I came across Silverligt and Flex development software. But, after playing with flex for a little, noticed that Flex will not be my best choice to access and rename local files. Any suggestions about the technology that we should use?
    Will I be able to accomplish this type of application using a Java Applet?
    Thanks!
