FLV content embedded in SWF not exporting correctly in In-Design CS6

Hi,
I have an FLV video embedded within a SWF file.
The FLV video plays correctly in the SWF file when exported or previewed.
When the SWF is placed into In-Design CS6 and then exported as an interactive PDF, the SWF operates normally (buttons and pages all working as in the original SWF) except the FLV video does not load at all.
Can anyone advise what's going on?
Thanks for reading!

Hello Joe,
That was a long posting, will start with the Buttons-question: can you check the action 'On Success' of those slide buttons? I couldn't see which version of CP you are using, it is in the properties. Default action is 'Continue' which means that the playhead will play further and finish the total duration of the slide timeline. Change this action to 'Go to next slide'. However for the Question slides you will not have so much control, sorry.
As for the audio issue, I'm a lot less sure, need to know the version of CP first of all. You have to be sure that all patches are applied (certainly if you have CP5). Sometimes it helps to insert a small silence at the end/start of the slide: move the audio or video file to start 0,1sec after the start of the slide and make it finish 0,1sec before the end of the slide. Worth trying if this helps?
Lilybiri
PS: sorry, bit sleepy, you did mention it is CP5. You'll find the actions in the Action accordion of the Properties panel of the button. And check your version, please, there was an important patch released in December. Use Help, Updates. 5.0.1.624 is the present version.

Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF.

Namaste InDesign gurus,
I have a problem at hand. Wondering if anyone has encoutered similar problem before? Any help is greatly appreciated. And if you're in San Francisco bay area - I can buy you a lunch :-)
Short description: Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF. All the ligatures are assembled and displayed in the PDF.
Adobe Indesign Version: InDesign CS5 Design Premium - regular U.S. version (not ME).
Steps I took:
I purchased CS5 Design Premium and also purchased the IndicPlus plugin to author sanskrit documents in InDesign. I create Sanskrit text using either of the following methods.
1) Itranslator
2) Paste the devanagari from the Itranslator directly into InDesign or paste it first into MSWord and then copy from MSWord and paste it to Indesign.
It doesn't matter how I paste it. After I apply the IndicPlus character/paragraph style so that the sanskrit looks good in InDesign, when I try to export it to a PDF. The PDF does not display the ligatures currectly. It just lists all the characters in order without assembling.
I've spent a lot of money buying CS5, IndicPlus and then I can't even create a simple PDF document from InDesign. It is very frustrating.
Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
(Please let me know if my problem description needs more fleshing out).
I could create the PDF from MSWord directly but I'm trying to use indesign to layout my book. If InDesign cannot export to PDF I'll just have to use MSWord for my book layout. I've spend probably scores of hours trying to learn InDeisn and formatting my book content - seems like it is all going to be waste.
Is MSWord the best choice or only choice for laying out books that have sanskrit text in them?
-Ravi

Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
Not Sanskrit, no, but plenty of Hindi, Nepali, Marathi, and other languages written in Devanagari script - so it should be possible. I don't even use IndicPlus, which by most accounts makes working with Indic text much easier.
1) Itranslator
I've never seen this, but a quick Google led me to the homepage of ITranslator for Windows, where I saw this:
Itranslator 99 (Build 1.3.0.86) & New Beta Version
uses 8-bit true type fonts and is compatible
with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
For more information, click here.
Itranslator 2003 (Build 2.0.0.38) & New Beta Version
uses 16-bit Unicode-compatible fonts and is working
only on Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003.
For more information, click here.
So, if you're using ITranslator 99, there's the problem - those "8-bit true type fonts" won't work in InDesign. Can you post a sample of the text you're trying to paste into InDesign? Name the font(s) you are using, both in Word and in Indesign, and if possible make a small sample of the text available for us to test. It's also possible that InDesign is using a substituted font, which could cause this problem. So, if the font name in InDesign has brackets around it, you know that InDesign doesn't actually have that font installed and is auto-substituting. Also, if you go to View -> Screen Mode -> Normal and the text is highlighted pink, you know that the font has dropped. (Unless the highlighting for dropped fonts was turned off - check in Edit -> Preferences -> Composition and make sure that "Substituted Fonts" is checked.
Also, for what it's worth, is there any way you could Place your text instead of copying and pasting? This may be cause of your problem - but even though it probably isn't, it's still worth a try.
Lastly - no, I've found InDesign to be superior for typesetting for almost all languages, but the learning curve is pretty steep, and many of the problems faced by people working in non-English languages are not easy to research when you have a problem.

Acrobat/Indesign does not export correct into the selected output intention (eci_iso_coated_v2_300)

I use the CS6 suite with Acrobat XI at windows platform.
When I want to save a file from InDesign as .pdf with output intention eci_iso_coated_v2_300 the result is a .pdf with more than 300% ink coverage.
I tried to transform the result in Acrobat XI into this standard output intention, but also the result has more than 300 % ink coverage.
What is the reason of this bug?
Before with Acrobat X this worked without problems

Hi Rob,
I was told the new way to work would be to draw files via Bridge direct into the InDesign file
and I thought automatically the color would not be changed.
my colourmanagement setting in bridge for the whole CS6 was ECI isocoated_V2_300
The Illustrator file was saved without color profile.
In this test file I used 3 kinds of black: background of pirate in cmyk 79,34 / 72,78 / 59,38 / 79,88 = ink coverage 291 %
DÜSSELPIRATEN in “black” (if you would convert this in the file with the cmyk button it would be the same ink-percentage as before
“e.V.” was set to 100 % k
I set the preferences for Acrobat from InDesign CS6 as pdf X4 with profile eci isocoatedV2_300 in three ways:
no color conversion
convert to profile
convert to profile keeping existing values
in all tree files the pirates background has 322 % ink coverage instead of 291 %
Why does Acrobat convert “black” in the wrong way? If I click in Illustrator on the 4c button to convert the “black” into 4c it is 291% ink
Acrobat should come to the same result with all profiles: iso coated V2 and iso coated V2_300
The same happens also by saving as .pdf X3 or .X1
The minimum what I expect is, that Acrobat reduces ink coverage for black to 300 %
I also made test with the new ECI profiles for laminated prints from 2012.
And with newspaper profiles
In this case the ink coverage comes below 300 %, but only when I choose convert to profile.
And then the 100 % k converts to cmyk, what I don’t want to have with text.
Is there no way to reduce ink coverage below a special percentage without changing Text 100% k
And is there a bug in Acrobat XI with the ECI IsoCoated_V2_300 Profile? For there is no color reduction below 300 % in all conversion settings.
I can’t test this with Acrobat X or IX, for my computers with this software don’t run with CS6 64 bit.
enclosed you find my files

Which functions and features in Numbers are NOT exported correctly to Excel?

I wish to know EXACTLY which functions I use in a Numbers sheet WILL FAIL to export correctly to an Excel or Neoffice spreadsheet.
For instance, I created a Numbers spreadsheet using prolific use of the IFERROR function. However, when I EXPORT to XLS, all the cells that used the IFERROR function were replaced by the literal value of the cell. My IFERROR formulae were not EXPORTED as I had expected.
I note that some formulae were converted correctly in my EXPORTED spreadsheet: eg MAX, MIN, AVERAGE.
I understand that IFERROR was a function introduced recently to Excel, ie in the 2007 version. Consequently, I suspect that Numbers exports to a pre-2007 version of Excel. If so, which version?
I have found this list that shows which functions are compatable amongst various versions of Excel:
Excel Functions: Compatibility Reference (2010, 2007 & 2003). (n.d.). Retrieved from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsHau4_IeCfwdG45c0VhcjBBUGNreVo2ZzN NRU1BT0E#gid=0
This list shows that, for instance, IFERROR exisits inb both Excel 2007 and Numbers-09. So why is IFERROR not exported?
Curmi, J. (n.d.). Summary of function in excel and numbers-09. Retrieved from http://curmi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/functions-in-excel-and-numbers- 09.pdf
Some examples of my use of ISERROR in Numbers are as follows:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
I use the above function to carry out the calculation ONLY IF a cell is non-blank and contains a number.
More questions
What are the rules that Numbers uses to convert to Excel?
Is Numbers converting to the 2003 version of Excel? ... or an earlier version? ... which version?
Why desn't Numbers advise me there were conversion errors or simplifications made?
eg: "Cell A33 Function IFERROR was exported to the cell value for Excel"
Is there a preference that I can select which version of Excel that Numbers will export to?
In the meantime, I must abandon Numbers and use NeoOffice!

Thanks,
I applied your suggested ISERROR transformation to examples such as:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
However, a caution for young players....
Certainly, the ISERROR function exports to .xls. However, it behaves differently in NeoOffice.
Items 1 and 2 function identically in the case of say, ranking a row in which some cells are blanks.
Item 3, when translated using ISERROR to =IF(ISERROR(C32-C88+1),"", C32-C88+1), results in "" (ie error is raised) in Numbers but yields figure 0 in NeoOffice when there is a blank in either of the cells.
I recall from programming school in the mid-1970s that using GOTO statements and On Error branch statements were not admissible as routine programming steps. In fact, we received an automatic fail grade if we used a GOTO or GOTO like construction. So, I have found a more programmatically elegant way to solve my problem: eg:
=IF(C88="","",C32-C88+1)
Curiously, earlier I found/suspect this does not work equivalently in Numbers and NeoOffice:
=IF(ISBLANK(C88),"",C32-C88+1)
When you try using ISBLANK you always get an intuitively unexpected result because ISBLANK ONLY gives TRUE when there is absolutely nothing in a cell. A Formula reference in the cell, even if the function result yields "", gives FALSE... because, according to the definition of ISBLANK the cell contains a formula.
As I tell my students, ALWAYS lookup the HELP on any function you use. ALWAYS test the function to see how it performs!.... and lesson 3: Always test your spreadsheet on different systems.... then hope!
FYI:
Here's a link to my Spreadsheet (Neoffice .xls) and a video explaining its use.

SWF not scaling correctly

Hi, I'm new to the OSMF and have a question about swf scaling. I've done exhaustive searches with every search engine I can think of and haven't found an answer, so I'm posting here in hopes that I can get this resolved quickly. Here's my situation.
I'm using the OSMF to loop through swf, images, and movies. I'm using a serial element and letting it scale contents up to the size of the MediaPlayerSprite. The first time each swf is loaded, it is scaled incorrectly. The 2nd time through, the swf gets scaled correctly.
I'm assuming this is because the scaling is happening before it the metadata for the swf is loaded. I have no guarantees that I can ask that a swf be made in a certain manner, so adjusting the incoming swfs is not an option.
I've tried numerous workarounds with little success. Is there any way to preload the swf so that I have metadata by the time the OSMF needs to play it? Also, any other solutions would be welcome.
Thanks
Robert

Jared,
(First time poster too!)
I've got the same problem and no amount of anything I've
tried has worked.
However, there is a work around - bit of a pain but it
works...
Publish your fla to Flash Player 6 and then insert you swf
into Captivate 1 (one). Save it then open Captivate 2 (two) and
open the previous saved Cap1 file - accept all the dire warnings
about overwriting etc and it works. Not tried inserting Cap1 files
in the middle of a Cap2 movie yet but I'm sure it can be made to
work.
Adobe - please tell us there's a fix coming out for
this...

Wingdings not exported correctly in PDF by Crystal Reports XI JRC in Linux

I have a report that contains checkmark and scissor character from Wingdings/Wingdings 2. The PDF file is generated via a program using Crystal Reports' Java Reporting Component. When I am testing it in my machine (Windows), the checkmark and scissors characters are shown correctly. But using our Linux Redhat server generates a "P" instead of the checkmark and a quotation mark instead of the scissors.
With the thought that Crystal Reports XI JRC do font indexing instead of subsetting/embedding, my idea was that there was no installed Wingdings font in the Linux server. I've replicated the case in my Windows machine by removing the Wingdings font.
With that knowledge, I've installed the Wingdings (*.ttf files) font in the Linux server and executed commands like ttmkfdir (as instructed in some tutorials). I've verified that in Applications -> Preference -> Fonts that the Wingdings fonts are selectable. But when I generated again my PDF file, the correct fonts are still not rendered correctly. Is there anything more I need to do for the JRC to recognize the Wingdings font in Linux.
Migrating to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse released last Jan 2009 is not a possible option.

First check is to ensure the Java JVM can see the font. The Java SDK comes with the JFC demo Font2DTest. Do the fonts show up there?
Note that the Java JRE has a lib/fonts directory, where you can place TrueType fonts that the JRE then would use.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Dotted line is not exported correctly form Indesign to pdf

My dotted lines do not export as exactly round dots but with kind of "erroded" outlines. Has anyone encountered the same problem yet? How can I solve it? I used the "export for high res print preset". Thanx!

With "manually", Bob meant you cannot do it in InDesign (which must make it as good as 'manual', in his opinion ).
Using Acrobat Pro, all you have to do is open the PDF and start the Forms Wizard. It's the top item under the Forms menu. You'll be amazed at how well it does:
All I did was start the wizard and hit "OK"!

Content of some swfs not showing up

Hi there,
I am stumped.
I have a flash application that works fine on a local server
via
http://localhost/MyWebsite.
But when I access the website externally via
http://MyDomain/MyWebsite the
content of some swfs doesn't display.
I've added some debug statements on the MovieClipLoader
events onLoadStart, onLoadComplete, onLoadError, and onLoadInit to
see what is going on but no error occurs, everything executes and
completes...
I am at a loss...
On IE it doesn't load the content the swfs in question at
all. On FireFox it doesn't load it on the first try (3+ seconds
load time according to the debug statements) but is fine on a
second try (3-5 ms).
Does anybody have any idea what could cause this and where I
should be looking for any issues or how I could debug this better?
I really need your help.
Thanks,
Dan

Try changing your paths to relative ones. So instead of
http://MyDomain/MyWebsite/flashMovie1.swf
try just
flashMovie1.swf
Some public servers have an issue with Flash's security
sandbox.

SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 Tab Delimited setup is not working correctly in Report Designer

I have changed a RSReportDesigner.config to add a tab delimited option for report export, but it is not working correctly in vs2008/vs2010 report designer. I get a duplicate of CSV (comma delimited) in the export dropdown list.
I have tested SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit professional.
It is working correctly in the report manager.
<Extension Name="TAB" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
       <OverrideNames>
           <Name Language="en-US">TAB delimited</Name>

               <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
           </DeviceInfo>
       </Configuration>
      </Extension>

Hi Dave0323,
According to your description, you want to export your report into TXT file and change the delimiter to be a Tab. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to a CSV file, we can change the default field delimiter to any character that we want, including TAB, by changing the device information settings in the configuration file. For example, to use TAB,
update the FieldDelimiter setting to <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">[TAB]</FieldDelimiter>. And we can change the FileExtension to be TXT if we want to export it into a TXT file. So in this scenario, we just need to modify the configuration
file like below:
The result looks like below:

CSV Device Information Settings
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SWF not displaying correctly in IE

Alright, here it goes. I have a swf that is embedded into an
HTML file. This swf plays an FLV. It uses a series of masks to form
the FLV to a circle and leave the background transparent. There are
circular frames around the FLV. There is also a circle mask right
on top of the FLV itself. All layers below the mask, except for one
that is a bitmap, fail to show in IE. It all works perfectly in
Firefox.Is it the fault of the mask? Is there something else I
missed?
Thanks

There is a limit of 12 layers of (non-opaque) transparency
(when you use
high quality setting) .. not sure if that applies to masks.
There are also
problems with text being masked. But none of these should
make a difference
with IE vs Firefox. Do you have the same version of the
player for Firefox
as for IE? Are you using wmode=transparent .. that can cause
al SORT of
problems.

Using Dreamweaver to create AIR app from HTML site, FLV loaded by placed SWF not loading

Hello.
I'm using Dreamweaver to create an HTML-based site that has pages with FLV-based videos that are loaded using a SWF file. The SWF file is just the player / skin. When I preview or publish to AIR, the videos do not show up. I'm sure others have asked how to accomplish this but I'm having difficulty finding the solution to this issue. Can someone share with them their solution please?
Thank you!
Robert

Steveejay, I was having the same problem. It turns out that
mine didn't like the fact that I was using the "POST" method in my
loadMovie() call. I changed them to "GET", and it works fine in the
web page now. Just doesn't work when previewing in Flash.

Swf not working correctly in Captivate 2

Hi,
First time poster :-)
I have built a drag and drop program in flash 8 using very
simple actionscripts.
The app is bug free and works fine with any browser.
When i import the app into Cap, the drag function works and
the drop function works but the disapear function does not.
onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
startDrag(this);
onClipEvent(mouseUp) {
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/green") {
setProperty(this, _visible, "0"); +++++ Visible set to zero
normally makes the object dissapear, but inside captivate the
object just jumps back to x and y postitions specified below.+++++
} else {
this._x=450
this._y=100
Why does Captivate not view SWF's correctly and are there any
other ways i can get this to work.
Cheers, Jared

Table of content in .book is not linked correctly, it is linked to it self.

Hi!
I desperately need some advice on an urgent matter. I made a perfekt little .book-file with a table of content at the front of the book.
Then I realized that when i turned it in to a .pdf the table of content ( it is also shown i the left-window when I look at it in acrobat ) is duplicated. The left window show my table of content and it links to the text-rows in the table of content, and then below that it shows the rows of the table of content again, but this time it links to the actuall correct pages.
How can I get rid of this duplication, and just get the correct indexing linking to the pages, but at the same time keeping my table of content in the front of the book?
Kind regards

When converting a FrameMaker book to PDF, the PDF may include bookmarks for additional paragraph tags (on top of those specified in the book's PDF setup)
The workaround is to specify PDF Setup in the individual file. For example, open your TOC, select Format > Document > PDF Setup, and make sure that the Heading1TOC, Heading2TOC... paragraph tags are not included in the bookmark setup.

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.

Event viewer filtered log not exported correctly

Hi all,
I have a very strange problem, or better, I'm missing something.
I can open the event viewer and there are many events in there (45'000). I can filter for the last 7 days and this shows me only 1925 events which is correct.
Now, if I click on SAVE FILTERED LOG FILE AS, I can save the file in XML or TXT format (or others). It's not important the format because the export is incorrect! What I mean is that once the file has been exported to a TXT or others file's format, it contains
just some events, in this case maybe 50-60 events, not more! The strange thing is that in that file I can see ONLY the events from the most recent day in the filter (right now the 14 of june).
Now the funny part: if I save THE SAME LOG as .XML, it doesn't show all the events, but more than the TXT file (in this case, it shows until the 2nd of june), but the last event on the filtered event viewer, is on 13 may.
I hope somebody can help me, and excuse me for my explanation.

Hi ripp3r,
Thank you for your post.
I test to save event log following your description with same result. When I save log to evtx format file, the log show correctly.
Then I find KB2417105 (for Windows 2008) to express that logs are truncated because the saving event log operation is not synchronized appropriately with the fetching-event operation.
When I installed the KB2417105, event log saved to txt file successful.
If your server OS is Windows 2008 R2, please install
KB981466.
If there are more inquiries on this issue, please feel free to let us know.
