Gray box visible before SWF loads

My site is live at brucebever.com
when you go to my site, you'll see a welcome screen. When you click on the business card or the enter button a gray box, the same size as my flash file (720x720px) is visible in the moment before the flash file finishes loading.

Two notes:
1. I have gone back into Slideshow Pro and re-exported the project with the correct html background chosen (white), but still I get the gray box.
2. When putting the newly exported slideshow into DW, I did it through the finder, just replacing all the old files with new ones of the same name... with one exception. I'm leaving the index file so I don't have to re-create it manually. SOOO, this leads me to believe theres something in the index file that's tripping me up.
Is there a line of code I can change to make that box white? I've tried changing practiacally every line of color-related code in the index.
Any other suggestions if that's not the fix?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply!
In my index file, I went to the Properties tab at the bottom of the screen, 'Wmode' is set to transparent for the flash item. So i did a search for the words but nothing came up for 'window' or 'opaque', unless I changed the Wmode to one of those choices. Incidentally, I tried all three choices in Safari after emptying the cache, and there was no change.
Checked the param.xml file, the pop.html file, and both js files (swffit and swfobject). I found one piece of code in the swfobject file that used the word window as a value (0=window) which I changed with seemingly no effect... so I changed it back.
I'm sure you can't see all the code just by visiting my site, so if there's something you want to look at, just let me know.

Dialog Box Open before Page load using af:CommandNavigationItem

Hi,
I have a CommandNavigationItem menu, the requirement is simple.
Use Case:
1. On click of one of the menu item, i need to display a message or prompt user to select "OK" or "Cancel"
2. If user clicks "OK" will navigate to the require page. and "Cancel" will stay on the page.
I have used couple of things like, creating a af:popup with a af:dialog and calling this popup from managed bean on page load, it works fine get a popup with a "OK" "Cancel" text. But the problem is it opens the popup fine but the parent page get loaded also.
Please help me to find any solution? Will appreciate your time!!
Thanks
Neeraj Halder

thanks vinod,
I have tried but struggling with binding of the popup.
1. let say when i login to my application my first page is "homeView.jspx", so on homeView.jspx i have written the code for popup.
2. And in the menu i have "home" and "details", so when i click the "details" menu this popup should open, and on clicking ok it should navigate me to the Details page, as you suggested ActionListner for that.
Please see below what i have done till yet.
ActionListener Code:
/*code in jsp
actionListener="#{backingBeanScope.testViewBean.checkOnClickofDetails}"
/* code in java with a backing bean scope
private RichPopup validationMessageDialog;// popup id
public void checkOnClickofDetails(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
RichPopup.PopupHints popupHints = new RichPopup.PopupHints();
getValidationMessageDialog().show(popupHints); //
popup in homeView.jspx
<af:popup id="validationMessageDialog"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.testViewBean.validationMessageDialog}">
<af:dialog id="d3" cancelTextAndAccessKey="cancel"
dialogListener="#{backingBeanScope.testViewBean.loadDetails}"
title="Prompt">
<af:outputText value="#{msg.AGENT_NOT_FOUND}" id="ot3"/>
</af:dialog>
My doubt is i am doing something wrong with the scope of the managed bean. in the above code i have used backing bean scope,
let say i have a java file example ABC.java, which is a backing bean scope given in adfc-config.xml. can i use this one java file for two of three different jspx as a backing bean? Hope i am clear here? :)
2) when we create a jspx and its backing bean at a time, is there any internal mapping happen apart from adfc-config.xml that one jspx will have only one java file as a backing bean?
Sorry if i am making this more complicated, above question comes because, when i move the same popup code in "Details.jspx" page and at the time of creation of this page i have created backing bean also so when i calling this function on page load "checkOnClickofDetails" which is in the Details.java (backing bean) the popup comes fine. but unfortunately cannot use this because parent page get laoded with this popup also.
let me know if i am doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Empty Movie Clip Shows White Box before Movie Loads

Hi all!
I created a type of slide show template that imports external
swfs. Everything works, but the client doesn't like the white box
created by the empty movie clip that appears before the external
swf loads. Does anybody know how to get rid of this? Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated!

Some email images do not show while using the icloud web app. I can see the images on my IOS devices and in gmail but I only see a small gray box in the icloud web mail app. Load HTML images is checked in preferences.

Some email images do not show while using the icloud web app. I can see the images on my IOS devices and in gmail but I only see a small gray box in the icloud web mail app. Load HTML images is checked in preferences. Is there a solution to this issue?

I've seen the opposite issue. My wife recieved an email with jpg attachments. She couldn't see or print them on her iPhone 4S but they showed up fine in iCloud or in the mail app. I had her forward the email to herself and then they showed up. I assume there is an issue with how Apple is processing the attachments and resending causes them to get reformatted in a way that makes them easier to handle.
So yeah. Seems like some bugs. Hope Apple fixes them soon.

Loading an image to remove gray box, then unload the image.

I have been searching for this solution for awhile and I can not seem to find an answer.
What I want to do is load an image instead of the gray box (or as soon as the applet loads) as my applet is processing its information. Then when it's completed, it should take away the image when I display the information. (Displaying the information I already have, not the image part though).
Can this be done? If so, please point me in the right direction.

so i took your suggestion about loading the image, then using a thread.. but the thread can't write to the AWT components at the end of the run (specifically the TextArea). This is basically what i have.. but if i display the TextArea after the start, it does display, but you would see the output being displayed. I would just like to show the "loading" then when it's done, display the TextArea over the image to "hide" it.
but i guess my major question now is, why doesn't the TextArea display?
public class CWJVMcheck extends Applet implements Runnable
    String outputString;
    TextArea output_window;
    Image loadingimage;
    private Thread thread;
    public void init()
     super.init();
        loadingimage = getImage(getCodeBase(), this.getParameter("loadingimage"));
     repaint();
     outputString=""; //Collective string of what to output
     setBackground(Color.white);
        output_window.setEditable(false);
     Font currentFont = new Font("Times New Roman", Font.BOLD, 10);
     output_window.setFont(currentFont);
    public void paint(Graphics g)
         g.drawImage(loadingimage, 0, 0, this);
    public void start(){
         try{
     thread = new Thread(this);
         thread.start();
         //while(thread.isAlive())
         //     Thread.sleep(10);
     } catch (Exception ex) {
          addToOutput("output some junk.\n");
          displayToTextArea();
    public void run() {
         add(output_window);
         output_window.append(outputString);
    public CWJVMcheck()
        output_window = new TextArea("", 36, 110, 4);

EPUB - GRAY BOXES Instead of Images

When exporting my epub book, I get gray boxes instead of images. Has anyone else run into this or know what to do to resolve this issue?
All the images are linked properly and InDesign is saying I don't have any errors. The only way I can get images to show up is ONLY if I select "Use Existing Image for Graphic Objects". But if I select this, I lose the cropping and orientation adjustments I've made in my inDesign file. I've even tried just copy and pasting an image into the document itself.
Needless to say I've spent way too long trying to figure this out and haven't made any progress...

If other people can export it fine but you can't, then I would suggest some troubleshooting of your InDesign install.
Have you tried rebuilding your preferences and then re-exporting?
Have you made sure you're not using any third-party plugins that automatically load with InDesign?
Assuming you've done those two tests and are still having a problem, then try it on a test account on your computer. Package the InDesign file and put it on a thumbdrive (or I guess you could just download the files from the link above) and then log out of your account on your computer, and log in again to a fresh new account with admin privileges. (If you haven't created one yet, you should do that first before logging out ... lol)
When you log in to the new account, all the apps are available to you but none of your other account's files or user settings. So open InDesign, download/copy over the packaged file, and open the layout and export. See if that makes any difference.
I have a short course on lynda.com on troubleshooting InDesign (just 10 short videos) that goes over these and other steps.

Thumbnails appear as gray boxes

For an unknown reason, all of my library photos turned into gray boxes. New downloads are visible and unaffected by the problem. I used iPhoto's built-in rebuild function, which did not help. I then downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and started the rebuild function. A dialog box saying "Getting photo information..." remained for about 90 minutes, at which point I cancelled the operation.
Are any of these possible concerns:
- My iPhoto library is on an external HD.
- There are about 7,000 photos in my library
- I had a previous issue of not being able to complete downloads into iPhoto. That issue was finally resolved by upgrading to iPhoto 6.0.4
- I had cleared space on my computer's HD equal to the iPhoto library size before using iPhoto's own rebuild function. There is not much unused space available on the external HD where my iPhoto library resides.
I am running OSX 10.3.9 on a G4 iBook.

That indicates that the Album.xml file is damaged and doesn't represent all of the photos.
It looks like you'll have to start over with a new library on the boot drive and import just the Originals folder from the library on the external hard drives as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Delete the iPLM created library from your boot drive.
Open the library package on the external HD like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the external HD into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
If you have a lot invested in keywords, titles and comments you can try following the first 7 steps of Tutorial #1 before creating the new library and importing the folder from the external library. Make sure the external library is the default library for iPhoto before starting the tutorial workflow.

When I go to Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

After the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 update When I go to use Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

Loading and Unloading of swf files in SWF Loader

Hi all,
I have a doubt reg. SWF Loader.
I have created two mxml files A & B.
A. local.mxml
B. SwfSample.mxml
i have two labels and a button in A file and i have set values to those labels and have a method to handle the click event of the button. In B file i have loaded this A file and accessed the labels and methods using SystemManager Component and changed the values of the A file's label and accessed data from A file to B file.
Here comes the problem,
I have two buttons named LoadAgain and Unload
When i click the Unload button, the SWF Loader unloads its content by the method i handled for the Unload button, after that i have clicked on the LoadAgain button to load the same content of A's mxml to the SWF Loader, it loads succesfully,but i was not able to access its Label or Method from the B mxml. Please help me to solve the issue.

creationComplete only fires once when the SWFLoader is created. Therefore you never reset your variables to point to the new sub-app. On a slow network, creationComplete may fire before the sub-app loads. It is best to use the COMPLETE event.

Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS8815BC0A-5D22-4f29-87B9-D9047B5B57E4.html

Hi,
I have Adobe Presenter 7.0.5, in which with recently updating to 7.0.7 version.
When I tried the fix of this "Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation" workaround fix, I passed to have the error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ADOBE_PRESENTER not found on Pool_P75.Resource.UIText
But before this error comes, I see that the loading text is changes from the original 2Adobe Presenter" to the one defined by me on the UIText, as the fix said.
And what's happen is that the scrren with the loading text is not being changed by the learning first slide....
Is there any workaround to correct that error?
Many thanks in advance for any feedback from the adobe support team or from any other colleagues that are using Adobe Presenter (;-)).

A swf loader bug?

It looks like I may have found a bug in the swf loader. Before I submit this problem I want to make sure there is not something I'm missing in my code. I wrote this class to load a tutorial when the user first launches a sub application in a project I'm working on. This is a simplified version of the class that exemplifies the problem. The same methods I use to launch the swf from within an mxml work just fine, but when I externalize the process in this class, I can hear the tutorial, but I get no visual. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Here is the tutorial launcher class:
package proj.fuego.utils
     import flash.events.Event;
     import mx.controls.SWFLoader;
     import mx.flash.UIMovieClip;
     public class TutPlayerSimple extends UIMovieClip
          private var gutLoader:SWFLoader;
          public function TutPlayerSimple(fullTutorialPath:String)
             gutLoader = new SWFLoader();
             gutLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addToStage);
             gutLoader.load(fullTutorialPath + ".swf");
             //addChild(gutLoader);
          private function addToStage(evt:Event):void
             addChild(evt.target.content);
This is my mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

That didn't look right. You'll need to addChild SWFLoader. Not sure what will happen if you just try to add its content. There might also be issues putting Flex components inside a UIMovieCip.

Cross-domain SWF loading doesn't work

I've been trying to get cross-domain SWF loading to work for
a while now, but even though it works from the Flash IDE the loaded
SWF is blank when I upload it to a webserver somewhere. And yes,
both servers have a crossdomain.xml file in their root folder, and
I've also used System.security.allowDomain("*"). I've published
both using the 'using network' option in the publish dialog.
Could someone please help me with this, as I can't seem to
find why it isn't loading. I've also read the entire PDF about
Flash 9 security, but I couldn't find anything about external SWF
loading except for the crossdomain files.

A little more color on this: If there are 2 or more messages in the active mailbox (and others in a different mailbox), the expand/collapse function works for the messages in the active mailbox. In the message column on the right, all the messages in the conversation are shown (both mailboxes). Only those messages in the active box are shown in the list column when the conversation is expanded. I can kind of see how this might be intentional, but it's strange to see lots of messages in the conversation in the right column, but only one or a few corresponding items in the messge list.

Problem using swf loader

When i try to run the mxml individually, It run correctly. As soon as i include it in another mxml using SWFLoader , the components stop working properly. It reflects the data sometime while sometime it doesnt. If i press browser refresh button , the components starts working
again.
here is the code snippet for the mxml where i load another swf file using swf loader.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:views="com.views.*" viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html" styleName="AppBack" height="100%" width="100%" initialize="init()" layout="vertical">
<mx:Style source="assets/css/Main.css" />
     <mx:TabNavigator id="tn" height="100%" width="100%" top="-1" right="0" left="0" paddingTop="0" >
     <mx:Canvas label="Home" paddingTop="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingBottom="0">
         <mx:SWFLoader id="loader0" source="AddDeleteAccess.swf" height="100%" width="100%" x="0" y="-15"/>
     </mx:Canvas>
     </mx:TabNavigator>
</mx:Application>
The Home.swf contains a conbo box and a datagrid.
The combo box stops working sometime and after the browser refresh is click it starts working.
if required i can also paste the code of the file which is being loaded.

scale your loader so it fits the way you want. ie, if your loaded swf is 800x600 (with nothing on the back-stage) and you're loading into a 350x375 swf, after loading is complete, use:
loader.width *= 350/800;
loader.height *= 375/600;

Facing problem while unloading the SWF file in SWF Loader

Facing problem with SWF Loader.
Background:
I've 4 SWF files (demo1.swf, demo1_skin.swf, demo2.swf and demo2_skin.swf).
These swf files are created throgh Adobe Captivate.
Playing demo1_skin, will play the demo1.swf with the controls at the button such as "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Forward", "Backward" and Seekbar.
Playing demo2_skin, will play the demo2.swf with the controls at the button such as "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Forward", "Backward" and Seekbar.
Scenario:
1. Clicked on the video1 leaf of the tree. Video1.swf is getting played.
I am able to click on the seek bar to take the video pointer to the desired position. I can drag the seek bar forward and backward also.
2. Clicked on the video2 leaf of the tree. Video2.swf is getting played.
I am not able to click on the seek bar to take the video pointer to the desired position. Also, I am not able to drag the pointer on the seek bar either forward or backward also.
Play, Pause, Stop, Forward, Backward buttons on the skin works properly.
3. If I again, click on the video1 leaf, point 1 observation is found.
4. clicking agian, on video2 leaf, point 2 observation found.
Please suggest.
I tried with Loader also. But, nothing fruitful. Same result, as I am getting from SWF Loader.
Please find the below used code.

Try calling unloadAndStop() before loading a new swf.

Note that unLoadAndStop()is FP10 only.
