Flash SWF Problem

I need to save my Flash files to an swf format that is earlier than ones allowed in Flash CC v13.0.
I earliest version I cave to is 10.3 but the host can only accept versions between 9 and 10.2.
How can I save my files to earlier version swf?
Looking through forums but most people don't understand the problem. Most say just use the Properties menu to change the version. Problem is that it only allows you to go as low as 10.3 instead of the 10.2 that I need.

For targetting previous versions of Flash player through Flash CC refer to the steps detailed in this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5513436

Problems in using Flash swf in captivate 5

Hi,
I am using captivate 5 and in that for a project I created some flash animation in flash cs4 and using the swf output file in captivate.
So the problem is this:
When I publish the project and try playing the project(exe/html output), those flash swf animations are not playing properly or not at all playing.
There are around 40-50 slides in captivate and around 90% of those files contain flash swf animation. Some of the animations are playing and some are not.
In flash cs4 the action script version is 3 and also I tried publishing the project in both flash player 9 and 10 but still some animations are not playing. Its random.
Any fix for that? Its urgent.
Thanks in advance.

There's a known issue with the way Captivate 5 loads SWFs. If the animation is not all on the main timeline level of the SWF, but the animation has been placed inside a symbol, Captivate triggers the animations to play when the SWF is loaded right at the beginning of the movie instead of making them play only on the slide where the SWF should play. This means that by the time your movie gets to the slide in question, the animation has already finished playing, and it looks to you like it won't play, when in fact it already HAS played.
This issue only affects SWFs with animation inside symbols, which is unfortunately the way most Flash animation designers are taught to create them. It can be fixed via some AS3 code inside the SWF, but this is only possible if you have access to the FLA files used to create the SWF, and you know how to use Flash.

Problems loading Adobe Flash SWF file

Our users are experienceing problems loading Adobe Flash SWF
files.
One example of a problem file is:
http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/popup_acr8_accessibility.html
User traffic is flowing through a Cisco ASA firewall - these
problems do not seem to occur from home networks or a Netscreen
firewall. The Cisco ASA does NOT have http deep packet inspection
turned on, and any traffic initiated by clients inside the firewall
should be allowed. The symptom is that Internet Explorer will begin
to download the video, but will hang at some point along the way
(for this particular URL it hangs at about 7%). No error messages
are displayed, but the video never displays on the screen either. I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have run into this
before, or if someone can explain what is different about this type
of file from regular Adobe Flash, that might help figure out what
the ASA is objecting to. The ASA does not appear to generate any
log messages about denying this type of traffic either.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

Thanks, but I use publish/export settings with GPU hardware acceleration and flash version 11.2 (and 11.8) but nothing happening.
And why gif file is not all transparenty then I insert on lightblue background? It can't export good quality? Also I use Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Edge Animate. And nothing happening. Egde animate file .oam is not good for old website navigation. It can't be inserted in freeshop site from navigation... I use logo file .oam just for example here - http://e-shoptagras.graphicsrim.eu
In reality I want swf file, but we don't find why logo flickering? here http://tagraseshop.graphicsrim.eu
All file's are transparenty - https://mega.co.nz/#!f8B2CD5R!J8uCJt9Sdq4Suz4HLhTHz8bzJcSWXMBIKcKZgkD3z8c

no.
if, in your loaded swf, you have a function f1() on the loaded swf's main timeline and you load that swf using a loader (say ldr), use:
MovieClip(ldr.content).f1(); // to call f1() in the loaded swf

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.

Dreamweaver SWF Problem

I am a relatively new Flash/Dreamweaver user and cannot seem to figure this one out.
I have checked my root files and *believe* all of them are pointing to the correct files, but for some reason my .swf is not loading in any browser; only locally.
The .swf doesn't show up on its own (ie: at http://www.5enses.eu/Index_.swf), which is odd. I heard it might be a path problem, but I have no idea how to fix it.
The site is:

Publish Settings in Flash when you're exporting the SWF:
Under HTML wrapper settings as shown above:
Size should be 'Percent' at 100 width and 100 height
This will make the entire area of browser a wrapper for holding your flash SWF
Now, the important part: Scale & Alignment: I've opened the drop-down menu in the screenshot:
Default (Show All) will fit the SWF movie to screen, keeping the aspect ratio intact - but will leave white space on either sides, if your screen's aspect ratio and the SWF aspect ratio don't match - scales when browser resizes
No border will fit movie to screen, but will bleed the borders with the stage color you set in Flash and may crop the content sometimes - scales when browser resizes
Exact Fit - Shows complete content to occupy full screen width & height and doesn't maintain aspect ratio - may cause stretching - scales when browser resizes
No Scale - doesn't scale movie to full screen - container will be 100% width & height but SWF shows at exact stage size - doesn't scale when browser is resized

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" >

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 (with as3 code) integrate in Flex probelm

Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem to make my Flash SWF working in Flex. I
created an animation movieclip, made a button and wrote a script to
play this movieclip in Flash. Everything works fine but when I use
SWFLoader in Flex to integrate this SWF in my application. This
"play" button is working anymore in Flex.
Should I remove the button and script in Flash and put them
in Flex? How could I write the script in Flex to call a function to
play this SWF?
Is there any other way to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I have an example on my blog that demonstrates controlling a
Flash movie
from Flex:
http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/example-of-casting-contets-of-swfloader.html
I included links to more basic examples in the code, so you

Odd Flash Embedding Problem

I am using Flash with SlideShowPro (component) installed, no
actionscript.
My XML file and my images are in a sub folder. The Flash is
not working. I copied the swf into the subfolder the XML is in.
When I open the root level page which has the flash embedded on it,
it pulls up the flash SWF, but does not recognize the xml file
that's in the sub directory. It tries to get an XML file from the
root level, instead.
If I run a page from the subdirectory, it works correctly,
which tells me that the XML file is properly configured when
sitting in that directory.
What do I have to do with the embed statements (or anything
else) to make sure it takes the XML file that is in the same
subdirectory as the swf file, rather than trying to find an xml
file on the root level?
I don't think I can have the swf on the root level, because
it asks for an XML file and there are many different subfolders for
which this has to work. If there is a way, I'd be glad to hear of
it.
The subfolders are all dynamically created, so I can't
preconfigure with separate names for the swf or xml files. At time
of dynamic subfolder creation, I copy in the SWF file and the XML
file is created into that folder.
I appreciate your help.

I'm really desperate for help here.
My problem lies that I'm trying to use a dynamic situation
and PHP.
The PHP creates a folder in images/pictures, copies the swf
file into it, and creates an XML file in it...so, we'll use the
example of 10.
So now we have the houseInfo.php page on the root level with
the swf on it, and the images, actual swf file, and xml sheet are
in images/pictures/10
(remember, it's dynamic. So the number could be 14 or
24...depending on which houseID is in the database)
I can't use a php statement in flash, so I can't make the
flash dynamically grab the correct xml sheet from
images/pictures/10...
So I tried using this method:
http://components.earthscienceagency.com/support/slideshow/examples/dynamic_xml/
By this method, the SlideShowPro doesn't have an xml file
path declared in the component, but rather I have this in the
actionscript:
mySlideshow.loadXML(playlist);
and the component is ID'd as mySlideshow
The embedding on the page uses a php id and it seems to read
it right...this is what a view source will show:
<object height="270" width="250" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="slide_frame.swf" name="movie"/>
<param value="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
name="FlashVars"/>
<param value="high" name="quality"/>
<embed height="270" width="250"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
quality="high"
flashvars="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
src="slide_frame.swf"/>
</object>
You will notice in the flash the playlist is showing the
correct path to where the XML sheet would reside.
But it still doesn't work.
Please, help?
Thanks,
Denise

My Flash Swf file dont load

Ok do i made a Flash Swf, when i view in on adobe flash it works fine, but i need to upload it so i can use it on my site problem is when i do nothing loads, images, text. Its just a black box where the content should be but it just says Loading.

Was there an answer to this issue ever? I have this problem in Captivate after importing an swf. The swf shows up fine in editing mode on the slide... but when I preview or publish (even locally), it stops playing prematurely and jumps to the next slide.
No content management system is involved in my case, and this is local, not online.
Please help!!!

Encore CS6 Flash Export problem, Grey screens

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports, they are not behaving as expected online (seems to be like a loading issue).
I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same. The same project exported from CS5.5 does not produce this undesirable
problem. It may be important to say that the project was started in CS5.5.
I have a button that links to another menu, and I am using videos as 'transitions'. The videos are dynamic after effects compositions.
When it's online, and you press the button it fills the canvas with a 'grey screen' before starting the video transition. This totally breaks
the experience and feels like an authoring error. It would be important to note, that this screens only appear the first time you see the flash.
Somehow the next time you press it doesnt show it.
I would happily go back to CS5.5 but I started using auto-activate buttons that are only available on CS6 flash exports.
Any ideas what has changed between this versions flash exports?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Cris

Encore CS6 6.0.2.004, IE9, Win7
Simple project, DVD NTSC, One menu with one button. One timeline. Menu first play, button linked to timeline.
Output flash with flv (and again with f4v - same results), No template, keep with flash swf rather than streaming.
Open index.html locally, must manually enable active content. Menu opens, movie plays. No grey screen.
Copy entire folder to USB, same result; USB plays on a different PC also.
Upload to web site; same result.
Am I doing soething differently from either of you? Are you using templates?
Factors related to flash security (for local and probably USB playback) can be problems. Various server settings can be problems for on line.

SWF Problems with CS5.5

I am trying new Flash CS5.5. Has some new features that I need but having lots of trouble with posting the SWF. I created a scrolling text "panel" to insert into an HTML document. I admit I've never built that particular object HOWEVER, when I previewed it via Control > Test Movie, it worked great.
Then I exported the file via File > Export > Export Movie, double clicked it on the desktop ... also worked great. HOWEVER, when I emailed this file to a friend, the systems (both windows and Mac OS) asked user to select program the created the file. It would not open without Flash in the background.
I've used Flash CS4 and have never had a problem like this. BUT, that's not the end of it. When I went ahead and inserted the file into the HTML doc in Dreamweaver, then hit File > Preview in Browser > Safari (or Firefox), the following message popped up:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
/Users/john/Desktop/jimednorman/Scripts/expressinstall.swf
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
fpdownload.macromedia.com
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings"
The problems are two:
1. I have no idea what to do in "settings". It is not clear at all as to what I'm supposed to change.
2. This still does not solve the problem with the swf file NOT playing unless Flash is running in the background.
Hey, I'm on my knees! Please help. I've never seen this and especially never had an issue with swf not playing on its own ... given that the "test movie" ran great.
What did I do wrong OR what have I left undone? Or do I need a spiritual advisor? (Don't answer that

Hello: I, too, am new to both the forum and Flash CS5, and am having a similar problem trying to get a Flash .swf file to play on my website. I've done all the things suggested here. I have tried "publishing" the fla , but, as dunb as this may sound, once the file has been published, I have no idea where it went. I can't find it anywhere on my system, and it's not in the site directory in Dreamweaver CS5. When I test the movie and the scene, it plays perfectly. When I double click the file, it plays perfectly. When I export the file to the Dreamweaver page (insert>media>SWF) the gray box appears on the page and when I save the page, all the files get uploaded. A "Script" directory is created under the root, with 2 files, and the .SWF file is in the root directory as well. The settings in Dreamweaver are all standard and there is nothing large or weird about the SWF itself. Essentially, it's a rotating graphic. Very basic. But when I open the web page, nothing appears. (Using Firefox). Even when I switch to IE, the page opens, but the SWF does not play. I've Googled every web site forum that addresses this issue and I can find nothing to make this work. When I "publish", I understand an .HTML file is created that should be put into the root of the server, but I have no idea what that file is or where it goes once it's created. A search for .html files on my system finds nothing more than the files I have created myself.
When I open my web site, instead of just displaying the title "Home Page", it says Home Page - Flash Player Installation - Index.html.
I just upgraded to Adobe Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver CS5 after years with Dreamweaver MX and Photoshop CS2. I've never had Flash Pro at all.
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong? My hair, fingernails, keyboard, ulcer, high blood pressure and dog all thank you.
