Flash website- problems with sizing on different computers- code to resize based on browser/screen resolution

Ok Guys-
So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
www.nicksdesign.com/flash
I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in
flash, and the problem is...
I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i
published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great-
the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.
However-
I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are
required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see
all the content on the 100% flash website.
My question-
Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML,
based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same
browser]
Any help would be SUPER appreciated
Best Regards,
Nick Smith

I took a look at your html source code, I notice that your
size of width sets at 1270 while height sets at 537. The width is
way too wide.
Secondly, flash-based website aren't that cool.
Finally, you probably get a better help from Flash forum
participants. This forum is all about Dreamweaver-related topics,
and is not about how to create or design Flash for the first time.
Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
Cheers, Brian

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

Problems with sizing up wallpaper on ios7

problems with sizing up wallpaper on ios7

Here is a workaround, although it requires access to image editing software, i.e. Photoshop or equivalent...
For anyone fluent with Phiotoshop it's easy. First use an image with pixel dimensions appropriate to fill the entire iPad screen. For the iPad Air this is 2048 (tall) x 1536 (wide). With this image open add extra black canvas to the borders. For those unfamilar with adding canvas, in the menu bar IMAGE > CANVAS SIZE. For simplicity, check the "Relative" box. Then add, say 4 inches to width and 4 inches to height. I added black canvas. This provides excess girth to the image dimensions so that when iOS 7 squeezes it for whatever reason it does, the result is the normal sized image you can't currently display by scaling, since this seems to be "broken".
A bit of a nuisance but an effective workaround.

Pls Help! Drag and Drop problem, identical symbols acting differently - same code! WHY?

In the attached file, I have a series of symbols that have a drag and drop command to change colour at different sections of a bullseye, and that are also text editable (html).
However, some of the symbols get stuck and will not be moved after moving once or at all, and some get stuck once their text has been edited.
I have poured over the code and it appears to be the same for each symbol - can anyone explain as to why this is happening?
I also cannot now edit the text properly on the ipad (it is really fiddly to change between different symbols to edit their text -- is there maybe a better way to do this? A button to change between symbols to then edit their text, can you help with this too?)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Hi, I think I undertsand what you mean now, so the code is as below, btu I am not sure what a handler is? but some of my risks still get stuck once the text has been changed on them:
// Use for loop for attr
// deleted yepnope since you load with scropt loading
// added pos for each symbol so we can replace them there.
document.ontouchmove = function(e) {

If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
Most commonly used backup methods
Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

Flash website problem / jpg in xml does not show in different browsers

Hello Everyone,
I am working on a flash website which is almost finished.
My problem is that I created dynamic loading content, so the contents in the flash ( Most of them) loads from .xml files. This xml contains text and jpg.
when i test the movie and final html it works perfectly and xml loads with all its contents in any browser.
but when I upload the website through FTP, the xml shows very strange ! . In IE only half of the jpgs loads and some content repeat itself, while in firefox none of the jpg loads.
The only images I can see are the one that I have directly put on the flash pages.
Does anyone knows a solution? I am desperatly trying to figure this out!!
I appriciate your answers.
Kara
the website address: http://www.hofstede-symposium.eu/

I could figure the problem just right now. so Easy!!
I just changed the slash es in xml . So if the original one was : "thumbnail\my.jpg " I chanegd the slash forward "thumbnail/my.jpg". I also put the xml file, my images and swf. file in the same folder.
I tried it and it worked in firefox, google chrome and IE.
Hope it helped!!

Adobe Flash Player Problem with Safari

Hello,
I've just installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on Safari. I can watch videos on all websites except for one, namely NovaTv Play. Whatever I do, I cannot open any of the videos. Therefore, I have to use a different browser like Google Chrome. I'd like to continue using one web browser but cannot resolve this problem myself. I've checked the FAQ of the aforementioned website and it is stated that if the videos cannot be loaded, the proper installation of Adobe Flash Player should be checked. This is something I did, and as stated, there are no problems with other websites. Can somebody help me with this issue?
I am using OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) and the latest version of Safari.
Thank you for your attention to the problem!
Best wishes,
Mariyan

so, if anyone else is having the same problem....My flash is working properly now. You have to delete every trace of the old adobe flash player and then reinstall the latest version!

Problem with ESM on some computers

We have been having a problem with ESM on some older computers. The
computers all seem to be older computers running WinXP SP2 (Dell
OptiPlex SX260). The computers have the Novell client, either 4.91 SP4
or SP5, and either have the Microsoft client for Microsoft Networks
turned off (unchecked) or uninstalled. The computer will be running
fine, we'll install ESM on them and then when the computer comes up
after that it won't login properly. It will accept the login, but then
says access denied but keeps going. All drive mappings fail with a 470
error code and the login script ends with an 8885 error. I look in the
Novell client and it says that the user is authenticated to the tree and
connected to the servers but can't access anything on them. I can try
logging in as many times as I want and it won't map the drives. If I
try to get to the NSS volumes using UNC paths, it won't work. I can try
a UNC path with the IP address instead of the name and still the same story.
We've found two ways around the problem and neither are acceptable:
1. Remove ESM
2. Go into the network control panel and uncheck the Senforce ESS
Filter Engine. After that, I can try to login and it goes right
through. I don't even have to logout, just right-click on the red N and
choose login. Everything maps just fine.
The firewall is set to all open so it isn't blocking the ports. Or at
least it isn't set to block them.
I say we've had the problems on the SX260's. We've only tried this on
SX260's and a small number of newer Dell desktops and laptops (Optiplex
740, 745, 755, Latitude D620, D630). Only the SX260's are having the
problem. They also, however, are the ones with the Microsoft client for
Microsoft Networks either turned off or uninstalled.
We're about to open another SR with Novell support but it is difficult
for us to leave a computer in a non-working state so we can work with
support on it.
Any ideas?

Sean,
I have seen login issue with the Novell client and zesm if a firewall is enabled.
Is it possible to do the following:
Right click the ZESM client and go to About
Click Diagnostics, Logging and select all
Once you have logging enabled on the client please duplicate the issue.
Please post or attach the log so we can see it.
You will find the log in c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\senforce\logs

FLash video problem with flvs?

Hello I am having a problem with the 4 videos on
http://www.websconsult.com/cuthbert/site/case-profiles.asp
SOme, but not all, videos do not have the little playback
triangle underneath the seek portion, where you can scrub through
the videos to the part you want.
THey are swf files, into which flvs have been imported, with
the progressive stream option and the the built-in Flash skin
selected for them. I am using the latest FLash CS3. THe flvs were
converted from quicktime mov files., which I had brought in into
Final Cut Pro and edited some of the frames and then re-exported as
quicktime files, which were then encoded with the FLash CS3 Encoder
app.
Any ideas? THanks!

I guess that isn't possible yet coz it aint working or do i

I say this because it was installed into applications, next

Will it just not work yet coz the phones aren't powerfull
enough (with or without FL3) or have i just installed it
incorrectly??

Problems with Syncing two different libraries on one mac

Ever since I downloaded itunes 11 onto my mac I am having problems with syncing. We have two libaries on our mac and can still easily move between the two, each keeping our own playlists, and music/podcast libaries. The problem is with the syncing to our ipods. The playlists stay separated, but unfortunately the sync update pulls both music libraries and puts it on each of our ipods. Having very different music tastes, this is a drag.
A second issue - there is still that problem of having issues with purchased music not staying in playlists (on ipod) after syncing.
I've tried looking around the itunes tutorials and articles but wasn't having luck. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, in case it matters, one of us is using an Iphone and the other an ipod touch.

you might have to find a third party program to get those songs off her ipad onto the computer, apple doesnt support that unless they are purcahsed from itunes store because of DRM (Digital Rights Media) another word for copy write. so theres not a whole lot of hope for that, but you can always create a new user on your computer
>user>+ icon>Create new user make it admin
-if they are how ever purchased from itunes you would still make that new user, plug the device into itunes and authorize the computer by clicking store on the top of your screen where file edit and view are, Store>authorize this computer
once thats done you'll then plug that device in to the computer and on the left side of itunes you'll see devices and "Device name" the device its self, right click or control click the name and choose transfer purchases, anything that has ever been purchased of gotten for free will sync onto the computer,
you cant just simplay pull the songs off the device to the computer, doesnt work like that

CNN website problems with Comments section. Scroll and post problems

CNN website, myself and other firefox users can no longer scroll up and down inside a comment when making a post.
Often you can not post the comment with the 'post' button unless page is reloaded.
Problem has been occurring for last week or so.
I have confirmed that other uses on CNN have same problems with firefox.
Problem doesn't occur when using I.E.8
Brgds,
John

I have this problem with IE 8. I cannot post comments on CNN.com. I thought CNN.com might have disabled my ability to post comments but am not sure if they have that ability. Thanks for your help!

Problems with multiple iTunes accounts/computers

Hey everyone, I have a bit of a problem with iTunes. The whole setup is a bit convoluted, here's the layout. My brother and I both have iPhones. He uses my account to buy things, but has a separate library. Recently, my computer crashed, so I took his old one and he bought a new one. I now have his old computer, with his iTunes library, and he has a new one. I just want to sync my phone to the computer and be able to manage my iTunes through this computer, so I created a separate user on this computer. When I load iTunes under this user, the library is empty, save 3 songs that I believe automatically come with iTunes. When I connect my phone, it lets me back it up, but I can't do anything else. I can play music, but not edit or download. I have no clue what to do with all this, it would really just be easiest to uninstall iTunes I feel but I don't know if he would lose his music or anything. Thanks for any help!

Jake,
I did not read past that point. Unless you have one account per person, you are going to have a mess.

Problem with latest OS X update. 10.10.2. Grey screen. .??

Problem with 10.10.2 update. Getting grey screen. Have tried safe boot but got same result.

Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Problem with InDesing hiding and other programs can not be opened on screen at the same time.

I have just installed InDesign on my Mac today. When opened it takes up all the screen and then when I try to open any other programs like a browser, it hides. I would like to make the InDesign window smaller, so I can follow instructions from a website, but the minimize window size buttons are not showing up at all. Any idea how I can fix the InDesing window size and show it along with the browser? Also how to detach it from Finder bar on the top of my screen?

Hi Guys,
Thank you so much for all your help. I was now able to fix it. It was after all the problem with the application frame being Off by dafout. It was showing up, but taking my whole descktop. Now when I followed your advice and checket it on under "Window" , it become much smaller and I am not able to resize it and the buttons to minimize or close it are now showing up (they were invisible before). Thank you so much to all of you who have helped me here.
If I may have one more question, I have enocuntered another problem with using this Trial version of inDesign. When I wanted to access Bridge from the Bridge icon inside the program, I got an message that I need to download it from Creative Clowd. I found it strange since I have Photoshop CS6 and Brigge is part of this program, so I don't want to pay for it via Clowd service.
I was able to open Bridge by just clicking on the program from my software launch screen, so it is now working along InDesign, but I wanted it to be part of the InDesign workspcace, so it would show along the program frame on the right of InDesign window and then could be attached there and moved along with it. In such set up I won't need to move each program frame separatelly when they are in my way while I work. I wonder if it could be fixed and how. Any ideas? I would appreciate very much your reply.
