How do I enable Flash files to be viewable in a PDF?

My organization publishes our magazine in electronic form as a PDF. Our designer uses InDesign to layout everything and then exports it as a PDF. We have encouraged our authors to use Flash files within their articles to help demonstrate scientific concepts. The first author to do it gave us (3) files. When I have received the PDF for review, those (3) files show up in the layout as a generic black and white symbol and just underneath the Acrobat toolbar I get a message stating: "Some features have been disabled to avoid potential security risks. Only enable this feature if you trust this document."
I know many of my readers will miss this announcement and won't know what to do with the (3) Flash files. Is there any way to export out of InDesign to PDF and automatically enable the Flash files so they show up and play?
Thank you,
Mark Maio

You can right click and select properties, then you can enable the flash content for example when the page is visible or other options.
The issue is when you lot's of flash embedded content , you have to do this for each flash embed seperatley, witch is somewhat cumbersome

How to Edit a flash file

Hi all,
I have a flash file, which I took from my website and want to
modify some of the contents and links in the flash file. I
installed "Macromedia Flash 8" and open the flash file; after
opening all I can see in the menu bar of my flash is "File, View,
Debug and Control" and could not find any control or tool to edit
the file and surprisingly rest of the other macromedia toolbar
icons are disabled. I need to know from where to start - How to
modify my flash file.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I do not know what files you have, 'fraid I cannot answer

My Friend
I think you need to check out some of the books, online
tutorials, course etc pertaining to Flash. Build up your knowledge
a little at a time and you will surprise yourself at what you can
achieve, you would also probaby build your own web apps and not
rely on templates.
There are many good folk on here that would help you with
your projects - go out and explore it - it's exciting - good luck

How do I enable flash and java on firefox23 as I have the latest versions installed yet the plugin page shows "disabled" with no option to enable

I have updated to Firefox 23 and it disabled my Java and Flash plugins. I then updated these to Flash 11.8.800.94 and Java to Version 7 Update 25. Now these are showing up on the plug in page but are showing "disabled" with no option to enable. How do I enable them to view content on the web.

Thanks Philipp but i have already done that and the content started working...
However, when i closed and restarted the browser it returned back to the same settings...
I dont think that should happen, but anyway thank you for the solution. At least I can use it by resetting the values if need be
Appreciate your help

Don't know how to play a flash file

I downloaded a .FLV file, but Windows isn't associating that file with Flash. When I click it I get asked which file to open it with. I checked and I have Flash 10.x on my system. I don't know where on my system flash is located. I looked in the C:\Program Files\Adobe directory but didn't find anything there. How do I associate the file to Flash so I can play it?

Flash Player is a web player (browser plugin), not a standalone media player. You can use Adobe Media Player to play Flash files.

How to control adobe flash files with sliders and buttons

Hi,
I am trying to make a front panel for a vehicle completely designed in flash, and control it through labview. I can load a flash file into an activex container successfully. I have followed this thread here http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=351719 and gotten everything working.
But my question is, how can I send data to the flash file from labview? Some examples of things I need to do: Interpret a CAN signal and have some text appear on the screen, Make buttons flash, etc.
I understand how to load the swf, Im just not sure how to communicate with it. One thing to mention is that the front panel for the vehicle will be fully custom coded. However in the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to control it from labview. Like if there is a clock.swf out on the net, how can I change the time from labview? Is there a way to see what parameters are available for changing?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
What specific Active X framework are you using to embed the container? The thread you referenced mentions Shockwave's Active X API, does this set of Active X functions expose methods for object control?
Could you elaborate as to the driver behind a fully Flash based front panel embedded within LabVIEW? Is this application inevitably going to be deployed as thin client software?
For interaction with custom flash applications aside from Active X, LabVIEW has an integrated Web Services feature to allow data transfer from custom thin client applications to the LabVIEW environment for processing and instrument control. A detailed discussion of the Web Services feature may be found via the links below:

Please post back any further questions, or information on the system design.
Cheers!

How to make exported Flash files as small as possible?

I am producing some Web Presenter videos, and they are going to be embedded onto a website.
This is my current workflow:
.Import video and then Key it in Adobe Ultra
.Import keyed footage into After Effects to allow me to set pixel dimensions for composition
.Render as flash file
Currently, I am rendering them as .Flv (web small) in the settings, but the files are coming out at 8-12mb, and the video is only 60 seconds long. I have seen some guys get flash videos of this length down to 3mb.
My question, am I rendering under the most sensible settings, or is there something better I should be doing? I need to keep the files small, but without losing much quality.
Here is an example of a recent Web Presenter I did: http://www.ukpostbox.com
I did the filming and presentation, and a friend (who has since died) did the editing. It will give you an example of the effect I'm looking for. Also, is the 'start' button something I can add myself, or is that normally done by the web designers at the clients end?
You might need to explain everything in simple terms to me as I am very new to After Effects, and this type of editing system.
Thanks,
James.

You may also have to edit the export settings.
When you export to flv with the preconfiguration "web small" you shall dig in it and adjust the data rate (lower it until you get the quality you want).
Sadly, encoding isn't a skill that have a long curve of learning, and relying on pressets is just the first step (and encoding much depends on what is in the frame, so it's a science by itself as soon as you want more control on your outputs). Also, AE is a compositing system, not an encoding software, so if you have the Production Premium, Master Coolection or Premiere, you should definitly want to export your project from the Adobe Media Encoder.
One of the most important step in downsizing the size of your video while keeping quality is to do "dual pass" encoding, and AE can't do that.
The great thing is that you can import an AE composition right inside AME, so you don't need to do a temp encoding.

How do I enable Flash in QT7???

I followed the directions in the Help program, but there is no Enable Flash button to click/unclick...wth

Your only options would be a purchase of an external Firewire hard drive and an older version of Apple OS X.
I have two externals that allow me to boot in various OS's and keep one at 10.3.9 another at 10.4.11. I also have OS 9 (very old) 10.2.8 and 10.5.1 so I can mix and match older software.

How do i enable flash support

I want to watch a webpage that uses flash. When i go to it. It tells me i need to install flash 9.0 or later. But i already have flash and the stock browser can handle it.
The webpage is www.svtplay.se

Current versions of Fennec (Firefox for Maemo) have Flash disabled by default because it causes problems on many pages. We're working on fixing this for Fennec 2.0 so we can enable Flash on all pages.
The "YouTube Enabler" add-on for Fennec 1.1 enables Flash just on youtube.com, where it is known not to cause serious problems:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/67650
To enable Flash on all sites in Fennec for Maemo (not recomended): Enter "about:config" in the address bar, search for "plugin," and change the "plugin.disable" to "false."
(Firefox for Android does not yet support Flash; we hope to work with Adobe to add Flash support on Android in a future release.)

How to save an illustrator file that contains gradients as a pdf print file without the gradients streaking on the print

When I create files in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign if the design includes gradients and I save or export it as a pdf for print, whenever I have the file printed the gradients often come out with lines and streaks in the print. I usually work around this by copying the gradient to a file of its own, save it as a jpeg, and then insert the jpeg back into the original file before saving it as a pdf. This can be a big hassle and I was wondering if there's a setting in illustrator, photoshop, and Indesign in order to avoid the hassle.

You would have to check your color management and things like overprint settings or the ink levels of the color components. Streaking is usually a sign of areas getting oversaturated and the automatic adjustments in the printer driver being unable to compensate. and then of course other factors may figure in like banding inherent in using gradients across large areas, out of gamut issues for certain colors and what have you. You'd have to be much more specific about all of that for anyone to even begin to advise specifically...

How to add one flash file to another?

ok, im making a flash website, and in a different file I created a music player that plays a song when the play button is clicked and stops when the stop button is clicked. My question is how do I go and put that song player on my flash website and have it work?

First, create an empty movieclip in the main file so that you'll have a place to paste the content from the movie you want to add.
Then you need to copy the entire timeline of the movie you want to install: Open the file you want to add and select all occupied frames/layers of the timeline (click one frame at one end of the top layer, then shift-click the last frame on the bottom layer--or further down if other layers extend further). Right click on the selection and choose copy frames.
Note: You need to be sure that the file you copied does not contain library objects with the same names but different content than the main file's library objects to avoid having things replaced.
Back in the main file, right click on the one and only frame inside the empty movieclip you created and choose paste frames.
You should now have a movieclip containing the other file contents and code that you can place on the stage of the main file.
