Getting multiple swf files on a web page to work on multiple computers

Hi,
I'm designing a test course for 50 people using Captivate 5. This is how my course is designed:
1) I create individual Flash files (.swf) for each topic and place them on a folder in my local server.
2) I create an INDEX html page with <a href> links to all the topics. When a user clicks on a topic, the get redirected to another html page. On this page the .sef file is embedded and the flash file starts playing immediately.
My question is, is it possible for 50 users to access the INDEX html page and will take up tests simulataneosly. That is, 50 users will be accessing the same embedded flash file at the same time. Will this cause any issues? Will the flash file be loaded on all computers at the same time? Will the loading be slow..
Regards,
Nithya

To add to Lilybiri's post...
Generally, Flash files are not 'played from' the server - they are downloaded to the user's computer and played from there. So the only impact your situation would cause is if your server can't keep up with the demand of having to send the data to those 50 users at the same time.
There's really no guideline for this... Is your server...decent? Good network connection, pretty fast serving and hard drives?
If it's a decent server at all, it shouldn't be a problem. Once the server delivers the requested test (Flash) file to the user, it's done until the next file is requested (next link is clicked). If any worries, perhaps stagger the 50 users by a minute or two, if possible.
You don't mention any reporting. No tracking of these tests to any centralized location? Plainly no LMS involved, right? If you're not sending any results back to the server or other centralized location, you've even less to worry about.

Adding .swf file to Dreamweaver CS3 page?

In Dreamweaver MX, I used to import .swf files, view them,
and they worked, both in Dreamweaver and on the web. But trying out
Dreamweaver CS3, ,swf files I import don't seem to work for me.
They're visibly there when I view the Dreamweaver page, but they do
not play in any browser. Obviously, something has changed. What?
What do I need to do to get a .swf file to play?
Thanks for your help.

> That did not make a .swf file visible. Here's a sample
of the problem:

Your code is sticking some stuff in there that my code
doesn't
for example the version is different (that should be okay if
you have
Flash 10 installed, but also notice the path on your script:

I suggest you try my code, of course changed to reference

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Where do I place the different parts of the HTML 5 published files on a web page?

I recently published an HTML 5 canvas document from Flash. Once the files are published where do they go on a web page? For example, lets say I had 3 animations published from Flash as HTML canvas objects. The files go on different parts of page, let's say in 3 different places in the body. Flash outputs the HTML file, JavaScript file, and whatever images in an 'images' folder. I'm not sure where I would place all these files on my web site. I know the JavaScript goes in the head of the index page. However, where do the other parts go? Further, if I have multiple HTML canvas objects how do I separate the code.
All of the tutorials demonstrate how to publish the file, but give no assistance on how to place the file or files on a web page.
Below is example code from a sample files:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>HeadSpinning</title>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/easeljs-0.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/tweenjs-0.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/movieclip-0.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/preloadjs-0.4.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="HeadSpinning.js"></script>
<script>
var canvas, stage, exportRoot;
function init() {
    canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
    images = images||{};
    var loader = new createjs.LoadQueue(false);
    loader.addEventListener("fileload", handleFileLoad);
    loader.addEventListener("complete", handleComplete);
    loader.loadManifest(lib.properties.manifest);
function handleFileLoad(evt) {
    if (evt.item.type == "image") { images[evt.item.id] = evt.result; }
function handleComplete() {
    exportRoot = new lib.HeadSpinning();
    stage = new createjs.Stage(canvas);
    stage.addChild(exportRoot);
    stage.update();
    createjs.Ticker.setFPS(lib.properties.fps);
    createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", stage);
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init();" style="background-color:#D4D4D4">
    <canvas id="canvas" width="615" height="400" style="background-color:#FFFFFF"></canvas>
</body>
</html>

All of the sections marked with the <script> tags should go in the head of the About page. From this line: <body onload="init();" style="background-color:#D4D4D4">, you want to take the onload="init();" part and add it to the <body> tag of the About page. You can also add the background color if you want.
The part marked with the <canvas> tag is the part that need to be added to the body of the About page. I don't know what your About page contains, so I can't tell you where it should be placed.

SWF export positioning in web page

Hi,
I have some questions about the SWF version of the Indesign Files.
I would like a bit more control on how it sits in a webpage if possible.
If I export as normal, the SWF file sits in the top left side of the page.
If I export and tick the box to include the pagecurl feature, it sits in the middle of the page.
Is it possible edit the setings to get the swf file to be centred on a page without the pagecurl option?
If I open the generated html file in Dreamweaver the page is basically blank.
Would the only option be to import the SWF file into a blank page and center it using tables?

If I open the generated html file in Dreamweaver the page is basically blank.
Are you looking at the code? Unless something has changed with CS 5.5 you should see the javascript that loads the swf at the top of the page in the DW code view. Look at the bottom for the load parameters:
    AC_FL_RunContent(
        'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,2,0',
        'width', '1000',
        'height', '700',
        'src', 'Untitled-2',
        'quality', 'high',
        'pluginspage', 'http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer',
        'align', 'middle',
        'play', 'false',
        'loop', 'false',
        'scale', 'noscale',
        'wmode', 'window',
        'devicefont', 'false',
        'id', 'Untitled-2',
        'bgcolor', '#999999',
        'name', 'Untitled-2',
        'menu', 'true',
        'allowFullScreen', 'true',
        'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
        'movie', 'Untitled-2',
        'salign', ''
The page curl version doesn't really center the swf object, it just makes the width and height parameters larger than the page, which creates a top and left background border. If you want to center the swf inside the browser window you'll need to add a table or divs

After upgrading to FF7, I get Corrupted Content Error on certain web pages, Why?

After upgrading to FF7, I get Corrupted Content Error on certain web pages, Why? When I try to log in to certain sites to get email or when I try to access a few sites I get a Corrupted Content Error message. If I use Internet explorer the sites work fine. I disabled my entire Norton internet security program and there was no change. Current OS is windows 7 on a hp platform.

You can get such an error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers.<br />
Firefox doesn't allow that for security reasons.

How to get the return values from a web page

Hi,
What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

BitmapData draw method doesn't work when the project is published as the .swf file of the web applic

Hi,
        I am totally confused by this strange error. When I tried using the draw method of BitmapData to draw a movieclip symbol of my project, it seems to work fine locally. However, as I uploaded the published .swf file to my web server and launched it as the plugin of my web application, it failed. The source codes as follows,
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
message3 didn't show at all. Instead, the browser console shows "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject.". My understanding of this error message is that the .swf is calling something crashing, and I believe that bd.draw(stage)is the crashng method call.
Also, here is my html embed tag:
    <embed src="/tests/videoplayer.swf" id="flash" quality="high" height="510" width="990" scale="exactfit" name="squambido" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" style="margin: 0px auto;clear:both;position:relative;"/>
Can someone help me?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried stageWidth and stageHeight, but it still doesn't work.
The draw() methid is triggered when I clicked a screenshot button in my application as follows,
ExternalInterface.addCallback("printscreenClicked", printscreenClicked);
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
Would you please give me an example of "waiting for Event.RESIZE is good, or just at least Event.ENTER_FRAME"?
My real purpose in this application is to capture a snapshot of a streaming video. The video is contained in a movieclip object. I tried stage first since BirmapData.draw() doesn't work when drawing the movieclip on the web site. Do you have any suggestion for this situation? Also, is there any good method to find out what happened if the browser have "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject."?

I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

Shannmo-
The HP PhotoSmart 5514 is on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work. <iOS: AirPrint 101>
One problem might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.
I had a printing problem several months ago, where the WiFi had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that happened to have the same name. There are a LOT of WiFi routers out there named "Linksys"!

As far as I know there aren't flash version 10. So IMHO your

not correct. I've seen this problem before in another thread.
It's like
when you embed your swf file there where something wrong in

and the code it's corrupted. Your code should be something
like:

If that doesnÂ´t work either try with swfobject

How can I get HTML source code of dynamic Web page ?

Hi,
I would like to write a program that can get HTML source code of some Web pages, but there are some dynamic Web pages that I can't do it with URL class. For example: http://www.europlex.ch/web/3schedule/showAll.jsp?context=schedule.
Thank you very much for any solution.

Thank you for your attention. I'm sorry because I could't describe it clearly. If you don't mind, please follow this step to understand my problem:
In the browser, enter URL: http://www.europlex.ch/web/main.jsp?locale=_english
Click on Schedule, you will see the page with Cinema name, Film, Time... I would like to write Java Program to get HTML code of only this Page (Not frame page).
Do you have any idea ?

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?

Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

What did you rent the film on, your iPad or your Mac ? If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app on it (you should get a rentals tab in the app). If you rented it on your Mac then it should be in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library, you will have to connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and move it from your Mac to your iPad (I think that it should show on the iPad's Movies tab for moving)
