How to add a preloader bar to a swf file made in InDesign?

I have created a swf file in InDesign CS4 and now that I added the swf to my website, it takes a little bit to download, but the problem is that it doesn't show a downloading progress or anything.
How can I changes this either in InDesign or using preloader for the swf file so people don't leave my pages thinking there is nothing to see.
I'm not familiar with preloaders or actionscript.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

hi Bob. this question is exactly what i was looking for too, However:
my cs5 crashes since the day i got it (i'm guessing it's because i'm using windows xp, though no-one at Adobe has solved it yet),
so for now, i have to work on the cs4.
is there a way to add a preloader on cs4?
thanx. Lior

Hey Ananya,
I believe what you want to do is possible, but it will not be
easy. If you want to add a scroll bar that will scroll the graph
back and forth but keep the axis set, you would want to add a
horizontal or vertical scrollbar. Then you would create an event
handler for the scroll event. You would have to manually plot
different data within this scroll event. Unfortunately, there is
not really a built in way to do this with the Measurement Studio plot
control.

How can I control a button from one swf file to another swf file?

Hi,
I have a main.swf file. From that file I am accessing the external.swf file which is an external file.
Now, how can I write code on my main.swf file for the button which is on my external.swf file?
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn (This buttons is actually on external.swf file, but I want to write code on main.swf file to execute it on external.swf) how can I control one swf button on other swf file?
Thanks.

Here's some example code that you should be able to adapt to your needs.
// create a new loader object instance...
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// make the download request...
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
// add a complete event listener to the loader
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// start the actual loading process...
loader.load(request);
// create a new empty movieClip instance, you will put the loaded movie into this movieClip once its loaded
var externalMovie:MovieClip;
// this function is called when the download has finished and the file is ready to use...
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
   // set the contents of the loaded movie to the new empty movieClip...
           externalMovie = MovieClip(event.target.content);
   // add this new movie to the display list...
   addChild(externalMovie);
Now you can refer to the loaded movie with the instance name "externalMovie". So if, for instance, you want to address a button in the loaded movie, you could write something like this on the main timeline:
externalMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
function btnClickClose(event:MouseEvent):void {

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 to live stream vp6 from a browser/swf file.

Hello,
Currently we have a swf file application that runs in a browser and takes the live video stream from the camera on the computer and streams a live sorenson spark stream to the fms 3.5 server.
Question is:
How to live stream vp6 from the browser/swf file on the camera computer, instead of the sorenson spark. (We seem to be stuck only on sorenson spark).
Thank you.

Hi Vince,
Jay has explained it about as best as can be done. What you have now is a
SWF that lives in a browser. With Flix, you can eliminate the SWF
altogether. Or if there is logic that still will require the SWF, then both
Flix and the SWF will live in the browser at the same time (and can talk via
ExternalInterface).
fyi .. When using Flix, if Flix does not eliminate the SWF altogether, you
will remove from your SWF all logic for acquiring Camera and Microphone. As
Jay has reiterated, Flix Publisher will now be doing all that.
If your SWF includes logic other than video/audio, e.g. maybe text chat,
then you may need logic in your SSAS to associated the video from Flix with
anything else from the SWF since each will have its own NetConnection to the
FMIS application.
In case it might help, following is On2's heavily commented JavaScript for
invoking Flix Publisher:

And the full docs for the Flix SDK are here:

This is what i did
1) created a dummy file in c drive
2) copy pasted below lines, you can play around more with the format
set _my_datetime=%date%_%time%
set _my_datetime=%_my_datetime: =_%
set _my_datetime=%_my_datetime::=%
set _my_datetime=%_my_datetime:/=_%
set _my_datetime=%_my_datetime:.=_%3) Rename the file from dos
ren some.txt dummy_file_%_my_datetime%.txt4) Here goes the output
C:\dir

Most of the code i copied from above url, you can tweak a little bit based on ur requirement and format.

I would like to add an empty / blank line in my configuration file. (.ini file) as below:

Could anyone help me on this?

In case you do not have such luxury, like me...
This example VI show an alternative way of inserting empty line/ space between sections of a configuration file...

How to add digital Signature Field in cfdocument pdf files?

Hi,
We are generating pdf files using cfdocument to populate values and wondering how we can add digital signature field in those pdf files. Any help or comments would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
hismail786

Hi,
Yes, we have options to add digital signature to the pdf. We have one attribute called "Permissions" in "cfpdf" tag. If we provide permissions = 'AllowSecure', then system would allow digital signature for that pdf.
Please go though the docs for details info. I will post in details next.

How to Add points on graph from a text File ?

Hello and Good Morning to all,
I have a text file with my data and i read them by using the Read From Spreadsheet File VI,i enter the path where my file is saved,read all rows delete the first row because i don't need it and my problem is that in the text folder i have specified date and time which i want to be my X axis in my Graph and Y axis to be the Vout that means i have to use a XY Graph ,below you can see my data:
Date        time              Vout
3-9-2012 7:45:37            2,35
3-9-2012 7:45:39            2,75
3-9-2012 7:45:41            3,15
3-9-2012 7:45:43            3,50
1) Is the text file format compatible with the input of the graph command?
I do not find a LabVIEW function which convert the “date” from the text file (example:3/09/2012 07:45:37) into a compatible format for X axis for the graph.
(Conversion from string format => into a “date and time” format)
Can someone please provide a code solution for this problem?

How to get poster image (from_movie) when placing SWF file with JS?

I am able to place the poster from movie (flv) file. SWF files seems to belong to Movie class. I can place the generic posters (standard, none and proxy_image), but not "FROM_MOVIE".
I am getting the following error message:
"Error 81926" "The poster image could not be changed to the requested image".
I will attach my code (sligtly modified from the sample "placeMOVIE" which is coming with CS5) containing also code for other property settings to be tested.
Hoping to find a good solution for this, thanks in advance!

You can put the poster for SWF using UI Media panel as shown here. So does this mean that there is a bug in a scripting environment?
