Help w/ DWmx2004 swf file creation

I can not get the swf file I created to work. I create a web site, on the first page as a test I select media> image viewer. I create a name for the swf file then ok. In the tag area I choose the images I want and if they are not in the folder I have them copied into the new site folder. I choose loop and all the other features that allow the slide show and then press preview. The frame comes up but the images don't.
I have also create an SWF file in another program and it works fine. This is on a win xp machine w/plenty of resources.
What am I doing wrong? There has to be some small widget I didn't tickle, but for the life of me I don't have a clue. I checked the html code from both swf files and they appeared the same relative to the locations of the images, each to it's own location \Thanks for any advice, Wyndham

See the answer in the discussion - 'linking graphics in folder that is the root folder of dreamweaver'.

SWF File creation tool for Unifier Custom Dashboards

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for a tool that can allow me to create SWF files to be used for Custom Dashboard. I know that using third-party SWF file creation tools, swf template files can be created and we can build custom dashboards in Unifier.
Can anyone provide me with list of SWF file creation tools that you have used for Unifier dashboards.
Thanks

The only tool that the SWF Dashboards were designed to work with is Xcelcius. Please bear in mind that only legacy Skire customers that had created SFW dashboards have the ability to use SWF dashboards.

Help importing a .swf file from Flash CS5.5 to After Effects CS5.5

I am working on animating a person in flash. I have a main timeline and then a timeline inside of a symbol so I can move
the characters facial features (eyebrows and mouth etc) apart from moving his entire body.
I want to have multiple scenes so I am importing all of the .swfs into After Effects and putting them together.
However, when I import the .swf into After Effects, it only plays what occurs in the main timeline
and not the timeline inside of the symbol, so it is just the character moving without the facial movements.
Is there a way to fix this or a better program to import the .swfs into and make the video?
Thanks in advance.

Here's the note from After Effects Help aboutt he limitations to SWF import:
SWF (continuously rasterized) Note: SWF files are imported with an alpha channel. Audio is not retained. Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained.
The limitation that you noticed---that only animation in the top-level timeline is retained---is not one that can be worked around without changing how your animation is set up in Flash.

[Need help with a swf file]

Hello,
I need help with a flash demo that I am creating. I have a
main swf file that contains links to other sub swfs that I have
created. What I really want this to do is... when I click on one of
the link on the browser, the other swf have to load in the window.
I tried to code it with .loadMovie,.... but for some weird reason,
it is not showing up.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

you might have a security violation and you do have a
load-target issue. remove that "_parent": there's no 2nd parameter
in the loadMovie() method.
if you want to replace the main swf with that url, loading
into _root is fine. otherwise, you want to use a different
target.

Need help with combining swf files together

Hi Everyone
I have problem with my project.
I created several SWF files, now i want them to interact with each other
So there is main SWF file lets call it:
main.swf
then within that file(main.swf) i would like to create buttons which will be calling other swf files for instance by pressing one button one.swf will be open by pressing other button two.swf will be open and so on.
Then I would like to create buttons within one.swf and two.swf which will allowed to go back to main.swf
If someone could help me how to do it I will be grateful.
AS2.0 i am working with
many thanks

thanks for quick respond
So the first of all my main.swf would load, within it i would have a button. If i click on button will take me to frame 40 ( just example ) where i will have this.loadMovie("first.swf"), when this file will be loaded i want to have other button with in the first.swf which will take me back to main.swf and now you are suggesting to use this.removeMovie("first.swf")?
I am not sure if i got you answer right
Thanks again for help i am quite new to ActionScript as you can tell.

Help with inserting SWF file into .html page

I created a photo gallery in Flash CS5.5, using the advanced photo gallery template. It works fine as a standalone SWF file but it's not displaying properly when I try and insert it into the Gallery page of my website.
The thumbnails are showing as blank white boxes and the main image holder isn't showing at all, though the controls beneath it are showing. The SWF file and all the images are stored in site/images/gallery/ and my Gallery page is in the root. What's going on here? Can anyone help please?
Thanks

If you are storing any of your Flash assets in sub-folders and having problems... it's most likely because of pathing problems. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
Best wishes,
Eye for Video

What it boils down to is that you need to path the Flash assets from the Web page that you place the main .swf on... NOT the physical location of the .swf

Need your Help with Swapping SWF File Problem

Hello,
I have two separate Flash SWF files which I would like upload
into the same HTML file. But I would like to load only one of them
at the time and would like to have a Button on each SWF Flash file
which causes the other SWF to be loaded.
hmmm.. I am not sure if I managed to make sense. :o) Let me
try it one more time. :o) I would like to swap one SWF file for
another SWF file by clicking on the buttons which are placed on the
SWF files! :o)
I was wondering if that is possible or I should think of
another way to get around this problem of mine.
Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.
Cheers,
Babak

make one swf as a holder. call it main.fla main.swf file.
Embed that file in your html document. In that file place
button with the
following action :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("second.swf", 1);
in that file have a button with action to load the 3rd file :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("3rd.swf", 1);
by loading them in same level (1) they will replace each
other.
Pretty simple..uh ?

Need Your Help with Swapping SWF files

Hello,
I am need to swap Two SWF files. I am acheving this by make
one swf as a holder. call it main.fla main.swf file. Embed that
file into my html document. In that file I placed one button with
the
following action :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("second.swf", 1);
in that file have a button with action to load the 3rd file :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("3rd.swf", 1);
by loading them in same level (1) they will replace each
other. My problem is that my SWF files obtain some information
using combination of PHP and XML file. I have noticed when I place
the SWF with it’s required PHP and XML in separate folders
the SWF file is uploaded (swapped) but since the PHP files are NOT
run by the server my dynamically generated XML files are empty and
therefore the uploaded SWF file has not information expect the SWF
file. Is there any way to get round this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help and hope you have a great
day.

Help needed making SWF file loop

Hello Everyone-
I have been researching this topic and am really struggling.
I'm not much of a HTML guy and I think I'll need to do some to
resolve my issues. I have searched and searched but I'm not having
any luck.
I create an animation in Apple Motion, exported it as a MOV
and imported it as video into Flash CS3. It was encoded using
Progressive download from server it creates a FLV file a SWF file
and an HTML file. My provider is 1and1. I then use Adobe GoLive to
create my webpage and upload to the web. I need my SWF file to loop
and I cannot get it to loop.
In flash. Everything plays fine. When I do a publish preview
however, the swf file does not loop. I've got the loop option
checked in my publish preview settings and even in the inspector in
GoLive but it does nothing.
Here is the link to the page. And the source code. If anyone
can help me that would be genius.
PS there is actually two SWF that I need to loop. Neither of
them are looping.

The problem you are encountering is that you are telling the
SWF to loop, when in fact you need to tell the FLV to loop.
Unfortunately, you need to code a few lines of Actionscript
to get this to work, you would think that it would be as simple as
just checking an option.
I don't know if you have an AS2 or AS3 project, so I'm going
to give you both for the code.
Actionscript 2:
1. Select the FLVPlayback component on the stage.
2. In the Actions panel, enter the following:
on(complete){
this.autoRewind = true;
this.play();
Actionscript 3:
1. Select the FLVPlayback component on the stage, and give it
an instance name by entering some text in the properties panel.
(Upper left corner of the panel, right under where it says
"Component" there is a text input box. This is where you input it.)
Names are commonly things like "myFLVPlayback" or "myVideo" etc.
2. Deselect everything.
3. In the actions panel, enter the following (replacing
"myVideo" with the instance name you chose):
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,doLoop);
function doLoop(evt:VideoEvent):void {
evt.currentTarget.play();
Either of those blocks of code should work for you. Simply
add them to your flash project and re-export the SWF.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH SWF FILES ON E65

PLEASE IF YOU KNOW TELL ME HOW TO USE SWF FILES(FLASH FILES,ANIMETED SCREENSAVERS)AS SCREENSAVER ON MY NOKIA E65.
THANKS A LOT!
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!

So far, importing Flash into Keynote has turned up a big, fat "NO!" I am REALLY disappointed by this. Both Adobe and Apple's attitude towards interoperability is just making us, the end user, unhappy. What happened to "it just works"? Why is Apple so against Flash?
So far I've found no easy way to get my Flash project into a Keynote presentation. There seems to be several rather complicated methods. I don't need this. I'm very miffed.

Help with publishing .swf files in iweb...

Hi,
I am trying to publish .swf files into my website. I have uploaded the files in my idisk in the 'Web' 'Sites' folder where the rest of my website files are held. I have used Roddy's html snippet...
<iframe width="420" height="420" frameborder="0" src="http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf"
</iframe
When I publish and visit my site I get asked for my username and password for idisk(?) I have not set this (I've checked). Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening. Have I uploaded my .swf files to the wrong place maybe?
Thanks in advance

ALWAYS define URLs from --the-- your visitor's browser point of view.
http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf
should be

I need help loading a swf file in a flash website

Hi,
I am an interactive design student working on a flash portfiolio and need help. I can't figure out how to load a game I made in flash into my porfolio so that it loads after clicking on a button, becomes playable, then have a button to leave the game and go back to my portfolio. I'm working in Actionscript 2.0 because that's all my teachers will show me and I have minimal actionscript knowledge.
Thanks,
Emily

I thought I got it to work with loadMovie, but it only plays the intro, and then either repeats or exits as soon as the first bit of actionscript starts

I'm using the latest version of Firefox V29.0.1 Firefox cache settings no longer working for SWF files. can you help on

Firefox caching on SWF files (Adobe Flash files) are not caching at browser level. But the same SWF Files are caching at other browsers like Google Chrome and IE.
But when i see the about:cache service information, I can see SWF Files are there in the disk cache device. When ever i hit the same page, the SWF files are downloaded from the server not from the browser, but the fetch count for that SWF file will get increase in disk cache device. So it's taking time to load the SWF files every time when i hit the page.
I'm requesting your help on this SWF File caching.

How do I add a Flash.swf file to an iWeb page?

I have tried to use the HTML Snippet widget, but I must be doing something wrong. I can drag the .swf file into Safari and it plays. I am sure it is the order that I am trying to do this. Thanks for any help.

Upload the swf file to your server and use the following code in an HTML snippet:
<embed src="URL TO SWF FILE ON SERVER?" width="XXX" height="XXX" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /embed>
There's an demo of it on this page: Miscitems

A direct link to the site in question helps. Posting your code here isn't much help since the .swf file is stored on your server and can't be tested by the helpers here
