How do I get an animated .swf file to appear in my iPad publication?

I have an existing ID doc I want to publish to the iPad. How do I get the .swf to appear in my publication? And do I need to do something special to get my next and previous buttons to work?

You need to use the content overlay creator to produce a page
that will accomodate the media item and then build buttons on the page to
do the forward and back or media controls.
Publishing for iPad is a slightly different prospect to producing for print or PDF. There is a lot more to it than simply just saying I want an iPad version especially if you want the sexy stuff that you can get with digital publishing.
I have been wrestling with it for some time now and am just now getting to grips with it.

How do I get an embedded quicktime file to appear "activated" w/playback & volume upon opening PDF?

I am new to adobe acrobat, and I'm using version 8. I am trying to insert quicktime videos in a PDF File. I have figured out how to insert the video files and embed them in the PDF.
However, when I save the PDF, close it, and then re-open the it, the quicktime file does not appear. If I don't use a poster image, then it is just blank where the file is, but the file is there, and when I click on the empty space where I know that it has been embedded a dialog box opens about playing it just this once, or making it a trusted file, etc. Then it plays, and the volume and playblack controls, along with the background, are visible. (it is actually just an audio track in a quicktime file, so nothing is playing but the audio, and the background is solid black. I have set it up so that it stays there once activated.
What I want is for the volume and playblack controls and the black background to appear as soon as you open the PDF file, without having to click in the blank area where the file has been inserted. This is going to be part of a portfolio that I am submitting for a school program, so I need the person that is opening it to be able to clearly see where the file is, and see the playblack and volume controls so that he can playback the file.
So how do i get the embedded quicktime file to automatically show up in "activated" mode, with the playback and volume controls visible and ready to be used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

If the video is only linked it would reduce the file size of the pdf and it would make it accessible for people opening on a device (like iPad) which does not allow flash which must be installed with Acrobat to view embedded media.
But I would recommend to send the people only a link to the PDF. I hate it, when my iPhone filled with useless stuff, if I would like to see it I could donwload, but as attachment make my space overfilled.

How do I get a Captivate SWF file converted for MAC products?

I thought I'd be able to publish to HTML5 and then use the APP Packager to get the file in a formate for Macs, but the HTML5 file doesn't work correctly. The program has 62 slides, and may just be too long to convert to HTML5.
I really need my program to work on MACs, and my SWF runs perfectly.

Okay - the big question must be:
1) Are you trying to publish an HTML5 compatible course, which users can view on their iPad using the Safari browser?
or
2) Are you trying to publish your course as an App, which must be uploaded and distributed through the App Store?
If it is number 1 then it is as Rod says. You need to upload all the published files to a web server. The users can then access your course in their Safari browser on the iPad by going to the URL (www.yourdomain.com/mycourse/)
If it is number 2 then you'll need to :
a) Get an Apple Developer ID
b) Run the course through the Adobe Captivate App Packager
c) Upload the finished App to the App store.

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.

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
How do I load more than one SWF?
How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
How do I resize the loaded SWF?
How do I set its X and Y location?
Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the
last frame of the SWF to be called - is that right?

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…)

HT1660 i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

Hello rmunsey,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
Adding music and other content to iTunes

Next, you can search for duplicates:
Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
When I create the project I get these files:
dist/lib/libreria1.jar

The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
libreria1/libreria1.jar
libreria2/libreria2.jar
libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
I added the following code to the build.xml:
<target name="-post-jar">
<jar jarfile="dist/software.jar">
<zipfileset src="${dist.jar}" excludes="META-INF/*" />
<zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria1.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />

<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="pacco.classeprincipale"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
Of course there is also the project folder:
src/pacco/classeprincipale.form

Can you tell me what is wrong? The error message I get is as follows:

How do I get new SpamAssassin cf files?

When spamtrainer runs, I get the following message:
config: configuration file "//usr/share/spamassassin/20bodytests.cf" requires version 3.000001 of SpamAssassin, but this is code version 3.001005. Maybe you need to use the -C switch, or remove the old config files? Skipping this file at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf/Parser.pm line 344.
How do I get the new cf files? I never updated SA manually, so all mail service related files should have been updated by SoftwareUpdate. Is it just that the newer version of SA doesn't look in the /usr/share/spamassassin directory anymore?

Hi Alex,
I went through my upgrade notes and found an entry back in 2004. I apparently ran the CPAN command for Mail::SpamAssassin on this server by mistake and SpamAssassin was overwritten with v.3.1.5. *spamassassin -V* confirmed it. I wonder why spamtrainer decided to tell me now all of a sudden.
Anyway, I thought this would be a good time as any to update SpamAssassin... and because of the Perl modules, Amavis. Your notes on Topicdesk was a big help.
One thing I don't like about the newest Amavis is that the start/stop/reload command is a hassle to type during the install and debug process (I made shortcut executables in ~/bin). I guess now that it's installed and working, I would never have to type those commands again.
Thanks for your help!
