Has Flash paper development stopped??

I currently use Flash Paper 2 for all documents on our
corporate intranet rather than PDF (due to the much faster opening
times).
It appears as though Flash Paper is not contained in
Contribute CS3, does that mean that Flash Paper is to be
discontinued by Adobe?
I ask this because I am due to upgrade my work PC to vista
and as it seems that Flash Paper 2 wont be upgraded to work
correctly with vista, a new version was my only hope.

Use a different device.
Adobe did not develop Flash for iOS devices and has ended all Flash development for all mobile devices.
You could try a different browser from the App store such as Skyfire or iSwifter.

Can I customise Flash Paper?

I want to customise Flash Paper
I've read that Adobe stopped doing anything with it sometime ago
But just wanted to know if I could possibly still modify and do something with it
What I want to do:
- Create a Flash Paper document from an existing document
- Afterwards go into some of the pages and add video and maybe some interactions
Is this at all possible?
Has anyone else done the same?
Thanks

anyone?

Director and Flash Paper

Hi Adobe forums,
I've just about putting the finishing touches together for an
interactive CD at work using director 1.0.11. I've provided users
with a print button that then in theory should open the
corresponding flash paper file and then the user can just print out
what ever he or she wants.
Don't ask me why I used flash paper over pdf, it was
something new and I wanted to try it out. It works fine on my
machine but when I burn the projector and accompanying swf and xtra
folder to cd it won't work on other machines.
I'm guessing this is a Flash Xtra problem, but I've already
selected Flash Assest and Flash Asset Options X32 via modify >
movies > xtras but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. To
handle the opening of this file I've also downloaded and installed
BuddApi as well.
Here's the code I use to open the swf file:
property pFile
global gDelimiter
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addProp description,#pFile, \
[#default:"test.swf", \
#format:#string, \
#comment:"Type the full filename to open: Example: test.swf"]
return description
end
on mouseEnter me
-- sets the cursor to the hand
cursor 280
end
on mouseLeave me
-- sets the cursor to default
cursor -1
end
on mouseUp me
--- setting the file path to go to, you need to put your
folder name or file structure in.
--- the moviepath is the path to the actual .exe file. So you
just need to
--- add the structure from that point on. In the below case
there is a
---folder called "pdf_files" in the same directory as the
.exe
sPath = the moviePath & "swf_files" & gDelimiter
& pFile
--- & is simply appending each item, so it is appending
pdf_files to the
---existing path, and then appending
--- gDelimiter which is either a \ or : and then finally
appending the name of
---your file
baOpenFile(sPath, "Maximised")
--- buddyAPI command you will have to download and install
buddy API
---Xtra. It is free, do a google search for BuddyAPI and the
site will come
---up, simply download the appropriate version and place in
your Xtras
---folder.
cursor -1
end
If anybody could point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful.

Thats the strange thing, at work all machines are set up the
same way via an image ripped down to them when they are first
configured. Part of the standard desktop image is the Flash Plugin.
For some strange reason the .swf file isn't recognised on the
CD. Drag the associated file to the users computer and the file is
recognised.
I'll give the error reporting alert a try and feedback the
results. It might be that I just have to embed the Flash Paper
within the Director Projector.
If anybody else has any ideas I would be very grateful.

Flash Paper

Hello - can anyone tell me how you set the dimensions of a
flash paper file (.swf) when loading it into a movie? It seems to
default at 550x400. Thanks

You can set the dimensions of an loaded SWF easily using the
MovieClipLoader
class:
var myLis = new Object();
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
myLis.onLoadInit = function(targ:MovieClip){
targ._width = xxx;
targ._height = yyy;
mcl.addListener(myLis);
mcl.loadClip("myFlashPaperFile.swf", holder);

Loading Landscape PDF in flash Paper

I am using Flash Paper to load different pdf's in flash but i
am facing one problem that once i convert any pdf that is on
landscape size it will rotate the pdf in swf and it looks like a4
size so any idea how to fix it

Bob,

otherwise),
> which seems an amazing blind spot from Adobe.
It's not really a blind spot. Adobe obviously cares about
both
products, and in fact, both products can be intermixed in AIR
(Adobe
Integrated Runtime), a separate runtime available on the
Adobe.com site.
There are a number of technical reasons you can't embed a
PDF directly
into a Flash movie. For one, Flash Player only supports a
limited subset of
the HTML specification -- a subset that, for better or worse,
excludes table
cells, and (importantly) the <embed> tag. But even more
importantly, Flash
Player doesn't support the Acrobat plugin. Your browser does,
which is why
you're able to embed a PDF into an HTML document. The browser
can display
the PDF because you've installed the Acrobat browser plugin
(or ActiveX
control). Flash Player itself has no such plugin.
> I can achieve the same result by using Flash Paper from
> Studio 8, but this is not included in CS3.
If you still have Flash Paper installed, you can keep right
on using it!
Its output -- SWF files (that is, Flash movies) -- is 100%
compatible with
the tools in Creative Suite 3. Flash Paper creates SWFs that
emulate many
of the features of the PDF format ... but in the end, you're
simply
embedding another Flash movie.

How to hide some functions in the menu bar of flash paper

Do anyone know how to hide some functions in the menu bar of
flash paper? As I want to show a swf file(converted from pdf) on
the website without printing function. How can I do it?
Also, if possible, can anyone know how to hide all functions
on the menu bar except the logo of flash paper?
Thank you very much, it is very urgent.

Here is an article about how to integrate flashPaper into
Director. It has most of the functions that can be executed on
flashPaper. Maybe it will help?
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/director/articles/flashpaper_in_director.html
and here is all his code

Flash Paper 2 & Document Map

I'm trying to find a solution which enables PDF files to be
converted to Flash Paper with some form of navigation (Same as or
similar to the Document Map function in Word). Unfortunately the
Document Map function doesn't work with PDF files. My current
method of converting PDF to Word using a converter programme is not
effective enough. Adobe are saying this isn't a priority for them
and no updates are scheduled in the near future. Has anyone found
solution for this?

Hi, I have the same problem... at the end have yoe got any
solution??
Thank you!

Can't See Flash Paper Document

First, my appologies if this has been mentioned before. I couldn't find it so I posting it.
I just installed Flash Paper2. Converted a Word document to PDF and draged it to Flash Paper2's window. It loaded fine. I then saved it as a SWF.
It looks great. The load it into a page via Dreamweaver. The preview test looks winderful.
I Upload all the required files online for the public to view it. But nothing comes up. Instead it says I need a new version of Flash Player (which I already have. That was Friday. Today, I have a white box in FireFox. And in IE, it's the same white box, but now the original (non-Flash Paper) Flash at the top is missing as well.
To make matters use, a very simple Flash SWF I've made dozens of times is now not loading. It also says I need to update. But I Already Did! This simple flash is just three flyers that swap places every 100 frames. No reason for it to need updateing. The Flash I created (in the exact same program) still works on the page, but not the new one.
What's going on?! I can see Flash Paper SWFs and normal SWFs just fine on other sites. Just not the one I'm working on.
Here the link to the Flash Paper page:
http://www.dlhenry.com/MediaKit.html
Please help.

Windows has a few graphics formats not supported by Mac OSX, such as .emf, probably the graphs are in an unsupported format.
OpenOffice is very compatible with MsOffice, if it opens the files correctly you might be able to copy and paste the graphs over. They will probably turn into .pdf graphics in the process.
Failing that make a screen snap of them using +command shift 4+ drag around the image and look for the subsequent file on your desktop.

Flash Paper Appears Outside of Table

I am sure this has smething to do with object tags and the IE
upgrade, but I can't figure it out! I have a Flash Paper content
that is to appear in the center of the page. It does fine in
FireFox, but in IE it appears outside the table in the bottom left
corner. What do I need to change so IE will view it properly? The
other Flash Paper pages in the site appear fine in IE. What is
wrong with this page?

Flash Paper uninstall

I had an updated PC at work so uninstalled flash paper by

Any ideas??

I am just new to your blog and just spent about 1 hour and 30 minutes lurking and reading. I think I will frequent your blog from now on after going through some of your posts. I will definitely learn a lot from them.

Flash paper -explorer 7

Has any one noticed that you can not load flash paper files
in internet Explorer 7. I loved converting word documents to load
directly and it worked fine until #7. The files load if you embed
them in an html file but not directly. Has anybody else noticed the
problem and figured out a solution? I have hundreds of files out
there that are going to no longer work when people load the new
explorer.
Thanks for your help

I have the same problem. Works perfect in other browsers. But
if you click the maximize button, it opens a new popup window as it
should, but it gets a javascript error and doesn't load. Example:
http://www.justiceforvictimsaz.com/sub/forms-brochures.html
(expand the forms section). ANy help would be GREAT! if not,
guess I'll have to do the PDF thing as well. Shame Adobe doesn't
want to support a wonderful product just because it use to compete
with PDFs.

Flash Paper Toolbar Buttons

I use Flash Paper 2 regularly to print documents from
Microsoft Access. In Word and Excel there is a toolbar button for
Flash Paper but none in Access, and there is nothing available in
the list of tools to add to a custom Access toolbar.
Is there any way to get a toolbar button for Flash Paper in
other applications such as Access?
Thanks

Thanks Urami! This worked. However, there is still one set of
buttons that still don’t work. These buttons are programmed
to open a new window that is a specific size and has all the
toolbars and menu bars turned off. The html page that opens in the
window contains an swf file that runs a video.
Again, it works perfectly over the Internet or when I test
the html page from Dreamweaver on my PC, but the window will not
open when the button is pressed if the program is running from a
CD.
This program was originally created with Studio MX 2004 with
Flash Professional. With that version, the CD worked on Windows
2000 PCs but not Windows XP. We re-published the entire program
with Flash Professional 8. Once I fixed the file names as you
suggested, everything works except the buttons that open a child
window. Now these buttons in the Version 8 program don’t work
on a CD running on Windows 2000 either.
Here is the code that I have in Flash movie for the button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:newWindow('videowin_turnassist.html')");
Here is the code that I have in the html document:
function newWindow(bookgif) {
bookWindow = window.open(bookgif, 'bookWin',
'toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=425')
bookWindow.focus()
I got this html code out of a reference book several years
ago and we use it all the time to open child windows from parent
windows.
I tried other code that I got out of an ActionScript book and
from the Help files, but I can’t get any of it to work at all
(not even from Dreamweaver).
Do you have any other suggestions for opening a specifically
sized child window that will run a Flash movie?
TIA
Diane

Flash Paper Problem

What is Adobe thinking -- have they lost all tract of
educational needs?????
I bought Macromedia Studio just for Flash Paper and now it
doesn't yet work with MS Vista. It HAS TO Work. I have no intention
of ever using the Contribute as I don't need it -- but I (I should
say all math/science online teachers using equations) need Flash
Paper.
Our online mathematics courses REQUIRE Flash Paper for
equation pages to open properly in Blackboard Vista!!!!!!!!!!
I am not downgrading a new computer to XP and not have the
right drivers because of such a anti-educational decision.
Can anyone help? Is the management listening?

hi mary,
i think the reason why its not supported in vista is that
when flash paper 2 was released vista is not yet in the market so
they had no way to check its compatibility with anyways maybe we
can suggest this as a feature request on their wishform.
I pasted the link below for flash paper feature request.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=18
I have already written a request = ) lets just hope they do
upgrade flash paper so it will work on vista.

Flash Paper or Impressario

Here's the project.
560 Page PDF document with images (not sure the filesize yet,
but will likely be 100MB+). Looking to be able to incorporate it on
a CD without needing to rip it apart into chunks. I will if I need
to, but just don't want to.
I will be using Director but am curious which would perform
better? FlashPaper or INM's Impressario? Flash Paper is cheap.
Impressario is $500 (and an additional $440 or so for an outdated
logo waiver!!!) From what I understand Impressario is very good at
handling large PDF documents by loading only the pages it needs...
How does Flashpaper compare?
Any comments?

I've never used Flash Paper, but have used Impressario for a
few projects.
It's a nice Xtra, but IMO it's not very well optimized. It
chugs on PDF's
with large background images - huge difference between
viewing in
Impressario and Reader. I've actually had to abandon it on
one project
because my client didn't like how slow it was.
