How can I have a Flash SWF file to load a HTML page?

I'm looking for a way to have Flash (CS5) to load and display a very simple HTML web page. Basically, the SWF file would be a standalone document sent by e-mail (or people would post on their web pages), and this SWF would display the content of another web page (consisting mostly in a live video on a black background)
How can I have Flash CS5 to do that??
Thank you!

Yeah maybe I wasn't clear enough... Here's the big picture.
I run a live TV station, broadcasting 24/7 on the web via a Flash application (a projector basically). The video feed is streaming on my site, as well as on numerous web sites across the net. A Flash projector is also available as a standalone application, people download and use it to watch the movies without opening a web page.
I am currently changing the broadcast method, from Flash stream to HTTP stream. But since my TV is already posted and linked in many places, I want to change the Flash object on my server with a new one, that has a HTTP stream instead of the Flash stream. It seems that HTTP stream cannot be embedded in a SWF, but it can be displayed on a HTML web page. The solution I came up with is to have a HTML page to load in the Flash player. All I would need to do is to have that HTML page to display the HTTP stream.
So from there, most of my audience would not need to change anything to watch my streaming TV, while those who downloaded the old Flash projector would need to download a new one.

How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of all other windows?

Hi All,
I'm new to action script, and I just need this one script
> How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of
all other windows?
Basically what i want to do is have a flash-created
step-by-step instructional movie, but for the movie to remain on
top of all windows so the instructee is able to follow the
instructions on-screen...
It would be preferable to not have to buy another product
just to do this... as I said, this is the only scripting I need.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Rick

if you create your exe with mProjector you can use one of its
new AS
commands to do this.

mProjector installs new classes and help into Flash, to
enable them you
must build your app with mProjector (its input is your swf)

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

There is another point:
if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

How can I make my Clock.swf file disappear?

Hi,
How can I make my Clock.swf file disappear? The following code works great for movie clips but throwing an error while using for .swf files.
Introduction_mc.visible = false; >>> This code works fine
Clock.swf.visible = false; >>>> This code throws an error (How to resolve this problem?)
Please help.

The easiest way is by targeting the Loader object.
l.visible = false;
or
removeChild(l);
will both work. And you can make it visible again if need be using the opposite of those commands.

Hello good morning ....how can I have all my PDF files in Ibooks at the same time in my iPad and my iPhone, Thanks.

hello good morning ....how can I have all my PDF files in Ibooks at the same time in my iPad and my iPhone, Thanks.

That's exactly how it's going to work. Unless you've set up separate iTunes playlists for your devices, the books will be deposited the books section on iTunes, and will appear as PDFs.
As Gus2259 said, you can use iCloud or Dropbox, or transport it through iTunes via an attached computer, or even use a cable.

How can I have a standard text block appear on the last page of my documents?

How can I have a standard text block appear on the last page of my documents without having to type it in all the time? I have a terms statement with a line for a customer’s signature which I want on the last page of my invoices and right now I have to type it in each time or cut and paste it from a previous invoice. I already have a Master Page that includes the customer information and my company information at the top of each page and I am using data merge to fill each page with the items ordered and their pictures etc. I would just like to have this standard terms block automatically show up on the last page after the last item in the data merge.
Thank you all in advance for your help.

Thank you Peter. This works. I have the text block now at the bottom of a second master page which I apply to the last page. For aesthetics I can modify the position of the text block in the new master page to bring it up from the bottom under the last item ordered when there is less than 4 items on the page. (my data merge fits up to 4 items with their images on a page). If the last page is full I’ll insert a final page using the second master and also bring it up to the top of the page.

How can I get a flash based plugin to load in CC 10.x

Hello
How can i get a flash based creative suite plugin to load in Indesign CC 10.x?
I can get It to load in CC, but not In CC 10.x. Im using Flashbuilder 4.5. Do I need a newer version of flash builder/extension builder?
Best regards
/ Pontus

Yes, you can!
You need to make sure that you are using: "Adobe CSAW Indesign" and not "Adobe CWSAW".
Also you need to hack the manifest.xml and write someting like this:
<HostList>
<Host Name="IDSN" Version="[7.0,10.9]" />
</HostList>
To get it to load in CC 14.

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

How can I have a custom output file destination for each different preset?

Hey guys,
I have a bunch of presets in AME but I need to have each preset export to it's own folder. How can I do that? This was a really simple thing to do in Compressor but in Media Encoder is seems like I can only specify one output file destination for the whole application in general and everything gets exported to that folder. Can anyone help me with that please?

This is a user to user forum. It is not staffed by Adobe employees so you will not always get a direct response from Adobe.
That being said, the output destination is not tied to the presets so this is not possible without a little extra work. You can change multiple output destinations by selecting multiple jobs and then clicking on one of the output locations to update them all. Another way to set this up would be to use watch folders.

Can't get my embedded swf files to play in HTML file

Hi there,
I'm just wondering why my swf files won't play when I upload them along with my HTML file to the server.
The problem can be seen at the following URL:
http://marthalodge.com/productDev.html
I inserted the swf in 'insert media' - 'shockwave' and the thing works when I press play to view it within dreamweaver. However, when I try to view it on a browser, either locally or remotely, it doesn't work.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this might be happening?
Thanks,
M

Hi,
I did what you suggested and again, nothing shows. You can see what I did at:

Do you have any idea why this is happening? I don't get any error report when I publish my swf from Flash.

Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You're not using the full URL to the file.
You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
"http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

Flash swf file not loading on webpage

Hi there,
I have put an swf onto my web page and everything works fine when i test it in my browser through dreamweaver.
When i go online to my website: http://www.organicgrowshop.co.uk/ it doesn't load
I have uploaded the two script files to my webhost. I have the latest version of flash on my comp. I can get an FLV file to load ok in its place.
What am i doing wrong??
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

Hi there,
Thanks very much for taking the time to help me!
Sorry, i have been messing around trying to get different things to work with no luck.
I did have the script files and the swf uploaded directly to my root folder, this didnt work so i tried making a scripts subfolder in my root folder to put the scripts in. This hasnt worked either.
The files are definitely in my root folder. Can you take a look again for me?
I dont understand why i can get it to work with an FLV file but not with the SWF file?
Thanks again,
Matt

My Flash Swf file dont load

Ok do i made a Flash Swf, when i view in on adobe flash it works fine, but i need to upload it so i can use it on my site problem is when i do nothing loads, images, text. Its just a black box where the content should be but it just says Loading.

Was there an answer to this issue ever? I have this problem in Captivate after importing an swf. The swf shows up fine in editing mode on the slide... but when I preview or publish (even locally), it stops playing prematurely and jumps to the next slide.
No content management system is involved in my case, and this is local, not online.
Please help!!!
