Flash swf cannot be emulated

I'm creating Wallpaper content for Flash enabled devices. In
an effort to test swf files created in Flash CS3, I am opening them
in Device central. Even though I attempt open the file into an
emulated phone that supports Flash Lite 2.0 and Wallpapers, I get a
message that says: "The file xyz.swf cannot be emulated! The Flash
Lite version of this file is too high for the Flash Lite player on
this device."
I thought that swf's from CS3 files were backward compatible
with all versions of Flash Lite. If I am mistaken about that, how
can I get my get file to show up on devices in the Device Central
emulator?
Is it that the emulator is not working properly but the
devices will read the files?
Thanks,
Bart

Do you know what version the SWF files were published as?
FL1.1, FL2.0, FL2.1, FL3.0?
Also when you say opening files how are you doing that? Is it
using the file > open command in DC? Is it dragging and dropping
the SWF file into DC? Is it a test > movie from Flash CS3?
best,

How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?

How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

Importing Flash (.swf) to Keynote

Hi all,
I am working in Keynote '08 (4.0.2) and have Quicktime 7.4.1 (14) installed. I need to import a Flash (.swf) file and play it in Keynote. Even though the online help says this: "You can also add video or Flash movies that play within a slide. For Flash to work with QuickTime 7.1.3 and later, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click QuickTime, click Advanced, and select Enable Flash." Keynote 4.0.2 does not accept .swf files (they are grayed out) and Quicktime 7.4.1 cannot play an .swf (This is not a movie file). Should I unistall QT 7.4.1 and install a previous QT version? Can Apple fix this problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Thanks for your quick response. Perian helps with Flash video but as far as I can tell it does not help with swf format. I have an actionscript loaded flash file that cannot be converted to MPEG-4. If you are indeed correct and Apple no longer supports swf with QT then I want my money back for iWork. It clearly states in their manual/help that users can import swf files and play them in Keynote. What a rip-off.
Is there a way to unistall QT 7.4.5?
Thanks.

Changing flash .SWF file into Keynote presentation

Someone please help.. presentation in 8 hours and I want to use Keynote but the presentation is in flash .swf and the directions I got didnt work- they were:
Use Flash MX to save the file as a Flash 5 movie. It should have a filename extension of ".swf". Important: Keynote cannot import native Flash files whose filename extension is ".fla".
In Keynote, Choose Edit > Place > Choose.
Select the file and click Place to insert it into your slide.
I choose edit but theres no option that says place, how do I read my swf file through Keynote?
Thanks everyone!
Daniel

That kind of thing is not done in Fireworks, which is a graphics
application; it should be done in a web page editing program such as
Dreamweaver. Generally, Fireworks HTML is not acceptable for final
production web sites unless you're exporting as CSS and Images, and
even then, it will most likely require tweaking in a web page editor.

Calling flex functions from flash swf (AS3)

Hi all, i'm stuck with communication between loaded AS3 SWF
from Flash and Flex3 project. I use SWFLoader for runtime loading
SWF, call functions inside SWF, but cannot find the way to call
functions declared in Flex project. I try to use ExternalInterface
class, but it does not help me, or maybe i use it incorrect. Is
there a method to call Flex user declared functions from Flash SWF?
All i need is a syntax sample, thank you in advance!

Also, application.application will point to the top-level app
scope, even from a loaded swf.
I believe parentApplication will resolve to what you usually
want as well.
For looser coupling, consider using a bubbling event.

Flash swf that runs on every browser except in Firefox. Can anyone help me please?

Hello.
I have an flash swf in a site that runs on every browser except in Firefox. I get an warning telling me that the page requires a newer version of flash player but i already have the 10,0,32,18 and the swf was published for flash player 9.
Can anyone help me please?

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

Firefox Embedded Flash swf not shown in asynchronous desktop

Hi all,
in a jsp I embed a binary property of a content node that includes a flash .swf file. All that in an asynchronous desktop, using Firefox.
I use the follwing code:
"<embed scale="exactfit" quality="high" menu="false" width="600" height="400" hswLiveConnect="false" src="<%=myPropertyUrl%>">
When the page is loaded by "normal" browser request, the flash animation inside the jsp renders as expected. After click on an url (<a> ....</a>) inside the same JSP the portlet content refreshes (via Ajax request), only the flash disappears. After F5 it's back agian.
The problem does not exist with IE!
How do i need to handle this for Firefox?
Thanks for help.

Firefox uses the object if there isn't a classid to specify an ActiveX control for IE.<br />
You didn't specify such a classid (classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"), so there is actually no need for the embed in this case.<br />
As jscher2000 posted above, an object tag only works in Firefox if there is a data attribute present (copy of the movie param) to specify the Flash file and a possible MIME type.
<pre><nowiki><object style="width:420px;height:272px" data="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v2/IssuuReader.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" >

How to set up one-button embed-hotlinking for Flash SWF?

Hello,
I'm publishing a webcomic in Flash.swf format and I'd like to make it as easy as possible for people to grab my comic and put it on their website. How can I set up one-button hot-linking that will automagically provide the code so that they can easily drop it into their website, similar to the way YouTube does with video?
Thanks,
Tom

you can use the following. the bolded lines require you to use appropriate values:

Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
Hope this helps you.
See the attached page for reference.

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

Flash SWF Performance Testing and Data

Looking for some recommendations on tools that can be used independent of the source (that is just on the swf) to check for Frames Per Second, total size and how often the movie loops.
Needed for Flash Banner ad quality assurance.

The need was solved by writing my own AIR app to read the SWF file header.
http://www.lonhosford.com/lonblog/2011/01/17/read-flash-swf-header-in-air-with-parsley-fra mework/
You can drag a swf file and see the header data. As well you can load a swf from the web.
Enjoy.

Horizontally centering flash .swf" and disallowing horizontal scroll??

Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
I made my website in Flash Catalyst, and I made the width 1700px and the height 1200px. I made the width large because I wanted it to look good in the largest screen resolutions, but my biggest problem now that I've finished making the website is putting it up. Simply embedding it makes it scroll horizontally all the way to 1700px, which isn't good for those with small browsers.
Originally, I was planning on making the flash file the background in CSS (using body {background: url(FILE.swf) no-repeat #000 top center}) but then I found out you can't put .swf's as backgrounds.
Basically, I want to know if it's possible to center the .swf horizontally, and then disallow horizontal scrolling. I want to keep vertical scrolling,
Any help appreciated!

Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
Yes, but it introduces other problems. With scrolling disabled, you might not be able to see all the page. I DO NOT recommend what you are trying to do. Flash scaling would most likely give you better results.
Background images if intended to cover a large area are typically very small images which are repeated to create a pattern. Using one large image will still never cover all the possible screen resolutions or page sizes... for example larger than 1700 or taller than 1200 pixels.
Centering requires a set dimension, like 1700 so auto set margins would center it, but it still may not cover 100% as using a width of 100% would.
That being said, turn off horizontal scroll and leave vert on with:
overflow-y: auto !important;
overflow-x: hidden !important
then you'll need to use z-indexing to lay anything else over the top of you background .swf
Here a sample page that should get you going... dimensions are smaller so you can see how it works... the principle is the same.

Flash SWF file within Swing JFrame

I was wondering whether its possible to open a Flash swf file within a JFrame
I am looking for a solution similar to the usage of Flash Activex control in .NET
thanks in advance
Vikas

I have read the forum link and other such entries in this forum. I have found the following:
1.) JFlash - a java based flash player. https://jflash.dev.java.net/
Could'nt find the app or the official site
2.) a few projects on sourceforge.org :
java flash bridge where you embed the flash inside an Integrated Browser Component
3.) SWT Flash integration.
I do not find any of these solutions satisfactory.except the SWT/Flash integration which I havent tried.
My question is that isnt there an easier and simpler way to :
Embed Flash into Swing app where actionscript and java can communicate.
I am aware of Remoting and web services. But It is a desktop app I am talking about.
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanks in advance..
from a very frustrated programmer....
