Help with .SWF files!!!!!!!!!

Hey, hope you guys are ok. I nees some BIG help.
I just made a page, with a .SWF intro.... i imported ir to
the index.html and i tested the page.
The problem is when i upload it to the server (www.cjb.net)
and i try to acces the page. The text is there, images ans stuff,
but the movie, is not playing. it stays in a white box and it never
begins. What should I do?.... cjb.net does not support uploading
the .swf file... does anyone can tell me?..... really really... i
need it. Thanks

The flash file is linked as if it were here -
http://www.lemonsfarmequipment.com/new/images/50years.swf
It's not there. This can only mean that your site definition
is
incorrect....

Need help with swf files

Hello,
I have a swf file which is 800px x 600px however I have
another swf file which is 475px x 750px. I wish to link these two
files together however I understand that this will be a problem.
Does anyone know how I can link together two swf files which
are of different size without there being a visual problem?
Is it possible to change the dimensions of the screen for one
swf file and then change it back when another one plays?
Any help would be great
Cheers
Gary

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.

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine.

Need Help with SWF Video Files

Hello there. I'm experiencing a new problem with Presenter.
I'm using WinXP, PowerPoint 2002 SP3, and the latest version of
Presenter. I have a presentation that contains many video clips.
I've converted them all to SWF files and have inserted them on each
slide via the Slide Properties dialog box, and inserted
corresponding "silences". However, when I publish my presentation
locally, instead of showing the SWF video in the top right corner
of the screen as it is supposed to do, I get a mirror image of the
current slide on that small upper right window. It is like the
presentation is embedding a copy of the slide where the video is
supposed to be. This never used to happen, so I'm baffled. Any
thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You probably will be able to play most of those problem files by using this freeware: VLC
If you want more information you would likely get more responses by posting in the Quicktime for MacOS forum:

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.

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. 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.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

Trouble with SWF files in Keynote 3

I am working in Keynote for the first time and having trouble bringing in a .swf file. I am having to use a Windows XP box to build the flash file and then moving them over to a Mac to drop into Keynote. I have Keynote 3 and have QuickTime Version 7.0.4 installed. I'm running OS 10.3.9.
When I drop the .swf file onto the slide I am getting a small filmstrip looking icon with a question mark on it. Any ideas on what I have done wrong and need to do?
I have published out with Flash using Flash Player 8, 7, and 6 settings. Nothing works.
second question after I resolve this one is can I make the flash background transparent?
Thank you for any help or assistance.

Actually, some of the newer formats work, but it's hit or miss. I know you have to make sure that you don't havea compress movie checked when you save out as a swf from Flash, that seems to make more of the newer versions work with QT and Keynote.

Adobe Cap 5.5 on Moodle - publish without SCORM, with .swf files

Hi,
My agency is using Moodle as a training platform and I need to publish my captivate training files to Moodle.    We track training completion through assessment reports.   I upload two different Adobe Captivate 5.5 training files.
(1)   the training portion with .swf (Raptivity) interactivity
(2)   the assessment portion - published in SCORM
I am able to successfully publish the assessment portion of the Adobe Captivate 5.5 in SCORM to Moodle.     However I am unable to successfully publish the training file.
I do not need to publish the training portion in SCORM so am open to suggesions of the best method to get the training file with Raptivity .swf files working on Moodle. When I publish the file it will work perfectly on our local network but does not work in Moodle. I have tried publishing the training portion (1) with and without SCORM without success.
Thank you for your help.
Note:   Please see my post 4-12-11.   I was unable to list files in the imsmanifest.xml as suggested in the response - and wonder if someone could provide further detail/ support with this suggestion.   How do I add the other tags?   Would someone be able to provide a screen shot of these steps?     Thank you.
Sandra

In the dialog inside Captivate where you set up the path to find the video file. By default, Captivate sets an absolute link, however, this path will be invalid if your video will be moved to another system (e.g. the LMS). You have to alter the default path to make it a relative path. The usual method is to copy the video file into the same publish folder as the Captivate SWF. (By default, Captivate doesn't move your video file for you at publish time.) If your FLV or F4V file is sitting in the same folder as your SWF, then you can just use the filename of the video file as your relative path when setting up the link in the dialog.
I also recommend you ONLY use lowercase filenames at all times for Captivate projects, including the published file and folders, and that you NEVER have spaces in files or folder names. These precautions will eliminate many baffling link failures when projects are moved from a Windows development environment to another webserver environment.

How to use Adobe Flash Player with .swf files?

Hey,
I have a .swf file that I'am trying to open but it seems that I can't. Is there any way that I can use Flash Player to do so?
The .swf I'm trying to open is a game, when i right-click on it and i click on Open With, I don't see Flash Player as one of the options.
Can you help me please? Thanks alot!!!

There IS a standalone Flash Player but is's part of Flash Professional. You'd need to purchase it (or download a 30 day trial, but I don't know if the Flash Player would keep working after the trial expires).

Help with .swf Load on Index Page

Hello,
My website has a flash component on the index page.
I would like to ask for some help regarding the initial load of the .swf file.
What is happening is when one first sees the homepage, the area where the .sfw file is located is just a large white blank area until the flash become active.
Is there a way to have an image from the start, then load the larger flash animation so the white blank spot does not appear?
I ask my html coders if this could be done through html with an image say in the background and was told it is not possible.
Here is the site - www.metroplexmultimedia.com
Thanks for your help!

A follow-up on the same issue.
I am still having some issues with an swf file on the index page. Any more help would be appreciated.
What I would like is two-fold:
1) The viewer to see the first screen of the .swf as soon as possible
2) The four screens in the .swf to scroll to the next screen automatically every 5 seconds or so. (right now they only change when you hover over a button)
Is it is possible to program the swf file to auto scroll through the four slides, retain the button functionality and keep the Flash timeline short?
Maybe CSS might be a better appraoch for this functionality?
If I could ask, what do you think?
Is it possible to do this in Flash or is CSS really the only way?
Thanks,

HELP! SWF file is not allowing me to publish in presenter

I am in need of some help with a problem that I can not figure out. Presenter will not allow me to publish any courses that I have SWF files incorporated into to. Here is what happens. The SWF file plays just fine, as it is inserted into 1 slide, and works properly on powerpoint. When I go to publish the course, it does all the steps like normal, and looks like it is publishing and zipping the file correctly. Problem is when I go into the file where I am publishing/zipping file to, it is not there. Very odd.... I know it definately has to do with the SWF file because one of my courses does not have the video in it and that published and zips just fine. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
I am using Adobe Presenter 7.06, Windows XP, and PowerPoint 2007

To find out if the swf is AS2 or AS3 you can try the following
From Presenter, click on Insert SWF and in the window that opens up, select a swf file
If the swf is an AS3 swf, you will see a warning message towards the bottom of this window
And regarding the problem that you are facing, its really strange as we have not heard of any such issues till now
Can you try publishing to some custom folder(say create a folder on Desktop and choose the same in the publish dialog instead of the default location)
and verify if the published files are getting generated or not

Need help with swf

Help I am new, and this is my first big job. The basics: all
the files uploaded to the website, and they are in the same folder:
the html file which is the web page, the swf file, the flv file and
all of the necessary players. I created the video file with
Macomedia Flash 8 Video Encoder. I have 2 animations on the same
page, my swf and the video.
When I PREVIEW the page locally on my computer using either
the dreamweaver preview or previewing in a browser, the swf and the
video play fine. However, when I go to the site on the web, the
video does not play. One of my swf files works fine the other file
the flv does not work at all. There is a space where the flv should
be, however the video does not play.
I am new to this stuff please help. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the address to the page:

I've also attached the code:

you have in the same directory the .swf, html page, flv., and
the actual video?

Working with SWF files...

We're working on an editor to post letter's to a blog, and we're trying to implement something that will automate the process of adding SWF's to the code. Basically what we're looking for is some way to read the width and the height of the swf while inserting it into the code. We have some Javascript that has been grabbing it, but it doesn't always grab the correct height and width.
function InsertFlash(sFlashFile,id)
var obj = document.getElementById(id);
var w = obj.getAttribute('width');
var iWidth=ReturnWidth(id);
var iHeight = ReturnHeight(id);
alert(iWidth + " " + iHeight);
function ReturnWidth(movie)
     var movieObj = getFlashObj(movie);
     return movieObj.TGetProperty("/", 8);
function ReturnHeight(movie)
     var movieObj = getFlashObj(movie);
     return movieObj.TGetProperty("/", 9);
function getFlashObj(movie)
     try
          if (window.document[movie])
               return window.document[movie];
          if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")==-1)
               if (document.embeds && document.embeds[movie])
                    return document.embeds[movie];
          else
                               return document.getElementById(movie);
     catch (e)
          //alert(e.description);
Something to note would be that our SWF's are built from flash files in which the programmer for flash has found canned content and then placed what we need inside of it. But we do have one video that has controls, and basically a screen at the beginning that you press in order for it to play. When it's at this screen, we have the normal dimensions of 400x550, but once you hit play and the movie with the movie controls show up, it varies around the 2200x356 mark, the latter generally staying the same, but the 2200 will bounce around 2000 and 2300 pixels (all in pixels), so that's where we're beginning to get clustermucked. There's a swf file (which holds the correct measurements) a flv file, and another swf file with the controls.
If anyone has run into this before or has a better solution, (using asp classic, no vb), that would be superb!! All we want is the silly dimensions... Hah!

Connect is an AS2 applicaton, and therefore, AS3 SWFs will not work (or not work properly).
If you want to correctly build an application to work in a Connect pod you need to follow the rules in the Collaboration builder, SDK documentation. This has not changed since Connect 6, thus the older version refference.

Can you help with rematching file names

After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.

Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
"can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?
