How to publish swf file as streaming html on LMS?

Hi Folks
When i try to publish a swf file it creates a html file and
works fine. but when its created in the folder. It creates a skin
file, 2 html files and standard file. When i publish it on LMS to
create a streaming flash file nothing is seen. Is there any other
way to publish. It is not a scrom compliant LMS. If that helps.
Appreciate all the replies
Thanks!

Hi again
I think you are probably still seeing the _skin.swf file
because I don't believe that Captivate deletes the files prior to
creating the new ones. So you should probably clear the folder
before publishing again. Once you do that, you should see only
three files.
Cheers... Rick

PrevFrame() buttons in a swf file inserted in html not working in Firefox

Hi!
I have a very weird problem.
I have created a photo gallery using AS3 in Flash CS5. I have used prevFrame() and nextFrame() actions for "previous photo" and "next photo" buttons as well as for "previous thumbnails" and "next thumbnails" buttons.
All the buttons work fine when i run the swf files as well as when i run the swf files in Firefox 8.0 and IE9. However, once I insert this swf file into my html file using Dreamweaver CS5->Insert->Media->swf, the "previous" buttons dont work in Firefox 8.0! the previous image button works sometimes whereas the previous thumbnails button does not work at all! They work fine in IE9. The next buttons also work fine in every browser. Heres my code:
stop();
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextimage);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, previmage);
thumbprev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, prevthumbs);
thumbnext_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextthumbs);
function nextimage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==mc_content.totalFrames)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(1);
else
mc_content.nextFrame();
function previmage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==1)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(mc_content.totalFrames);
else
mc_content.prevFrame();
function nextthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbprev_btn.visible=true;
nextFrame();
if(currentFrame==3)
thumbnext_btn.visible=false;
function prevthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbnext_btn.visible=true;
prevFrame();
if(currentFrame==1)
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
Please help.

Thankyou Ned. The html file published by flash worked perfectly however the problem persisted even if i used this html file's code. But strangely, the problem disappeared after a few days! Now the original dreamweaver code is also working fine.

Help with publishing .swf files in iweb...

Hi,
I am trying to publish .swf files into my website. I have uploaded the files in my idisk in the 'Web' 'Sites' folder where the rest of my website files are held. I have used Roddy's html snippet...
<iframe width="420" height="420" frameborder="0" src="http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf"
</iframe
When I publish and visit my site I get asked for my username and password for idisk(?) I have not set this (I've checked). Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening. Have I uploaded my .swf files to the wrong place maybe?
Thanks in advance

ALWAYS define URLs from --the-- your visitor's browser point of view.
http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf
should be

How to use swf file for Spark Skin

Hi all
I have little confuse about how to use swf file with Spark Skin,
in Flex3 , i use Flex Skin Design Extension for Flash to deal with skin ,
so basically , I just create a swf file and import to the project , then everything is ok
but , seem that not working in flex4 , spark skin.
1` I can't find the Flex Skin Design for the FlashCs4
2` I try to use FlashCs3 version to import the skin art to the project , but seemed not working.
3` I Google and check the Flex4 Help , seemed Spak skin need the Skin-Class , which I don't know how to use that with swf file
what I have searched is how to use FXG , or some jpg file in that skin class, none of them are use swf file.
so , is there any way that let user use the swf file to deal with the skin?
is the Flex Skin Design can use in Flex4?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm new to Flex, but have come to it from Flash Pro. I'd like to know the same thing. I think I found the answer here:
http://www.flashallys.com/blog/spark-button-skinning-with-flash-symbols/
However my question is now: Is this a good approach to use?
99% of the googling I've done tells me to skin components with fxg files. I've tried that by creating graphics and exporting from flash, but using swfs containing lots of graphics is much faster so I'd rather use that.
The other thing I've done is to create custom components using these helpful tutorials:
Creating component in flash:
http://www.webkitchen.be/2008/12/12/video-tutorial-make-flex-components-with-flash-cs4/
Dealing with Resizing with method overrides for your flash component:
http://www.psyked.co.uk/flex/creating-flex-components-the-easy-way-for-flash-ide-converts. htm
This allows me the flexibility of Flash Pro design with the layout, transistions, data binding etc from Flex.
So my question is: Is this approach (skinning spark components with swfs, and using custom swc components made in flash) a bad idea for any reason? E.g. does it create slow mobile apps?
Cheers

How can I tell if and how a SWF file is streaming?

My department is new to Flash, but we've now been creating
basic Flash Videos for websites for a few months. We've always
encoded our videos to FLVs (Flash 8), and then used the Video
Import Wizard in Flash 8 to import those FLVs into our FLA
document. We now need to be able to error-check all of our files
(each video comprised of four files: an HTML file, an FLV file, and
two SWF files including the player skin) to make sure that
progressive videos are indeed progressive and streaming videos are
streaming.
My process thus far:
In Flash 8, I brought up the SWF file and opened the Output
window; from the Debug menu I then selected variables. I was able
to find the variable "isRTMP:false", which according to the
documentation seems to mean that the video is progressive, not
streaming. However, when I authored this FLA file, I know I chose
the streaming option (FVSS not FCS) in the Video Import Wizard. Am
I looking in the wrong place? Am I confused about the meaning of
this variable?
Bottom line, how do I determine after authoring whether an
SWF is streaming or progressive, and moreover whether it's been
authored to use FVSS or FCS?

I'm sorry, perhaps I was a little unclear. The files are all
still stored herelocally, since they have not yet been deployed.
I'm looking for some property of the SWF file (maybe visible
through Component Inspector?) that will tell me how it has been
authored. Is there any place in the SWF file itself that contains
this information (since the files are not yet deployed)?

FAQ: How do I embed my SWF file in an HTML page?

Flash Pro creates HTML wrapper files for you when you use the File > Publish command, assuming you have the HTML Wrapper format selected in the Publish settings of your FLA file.
However, these HTML wrapper files only contain the <Object> tag code to embed your SWF file. If you want to embed your SWF file in an existing HTML page that contains other elements, you can copy and paste the appropriate HTML code into the appropriate location within your existing HTML page. You can also use Dreamweaver to add the SWF file to the page.
The TechNote Object tag syntax contains sample HTML code that you can copy and paste, along with instructions on how to edit the code to account for the actual name and location of your SWF file.

Hi,
You need to set the profile option 'Viewer:Text' to 'Browser'.

How to publish a local audio stream using NetStream?

As all we know, if we want to publish a stream to FMS or Red5, we can code like below:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/myApp");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.attachAudio(Microphone);
ns.publish("audio", "live");
my problem is that we can pass an instance of Microphone to ns.attachAudio() only, if I want to attach a local audio stream,like playing a local sample.flv file to become a audio stream, how can I do?
this issue has been asked 7 years ago, see the post. but i can not find any solutions.
any tips will be appreciated. thx in advance.

FullScreenButton in SWF file in an HTML Page

I have inserted a small video as a SWF file into my homepage along with Play, Pause, FullScreen and Mute buttons (loaded from the Flash Components panel). The Play, Pause and Mute buttons work fine. But when I click on the FullScreen Button nothing happens. It won't open the SWF video in a new page at full resolution. Any suggestions?

your embedding html code must allow fullscreen. if you let flash publish an html file for you and you change your publish settings to allow fullscreen, you'll see what's needed.

Html link to multiple swf files on 1 html page

i have a html page that has multiple (20) links to video files, i would like to play these files in the same position, within the same html page. therefore saving myself having 20 html files with the separate swf files embedded. firstly i was planning on converting my .mov files to swf to make then smaller.
my query is, what is the best way to 'house' a swf file(s) that plays when clicked on the relative link on that page.
i have build the page using CSS and have limited javascript knowledge although im keen to learn.
cheers

VIDEO GALLERY --
You need a Flash player that supports a playlist. If you're good with Flash and Action Script you could build a custom player. If not, pick-one from the links below:
Wimpy Rave simple to deploy, dirt simple to update playlists by uploading media to wimpy folder.

Animations on Captivate 6 when playing published SWF file

Hi All
I was wondering if someone could help me, I have created some E-learning content which incorporates some simple animation (text animation effects and motion paths on objects). Some of these animations mean that on the screen when I preview in a web browser, that an objects looks as if its coming from outside the canvas onto the canvas. Which is what I want.
However when I publish to SWF its like the boundaries of the screen completely disappear and you can see the object outside the canvas, this doesn't happen in HTML.
The problem I have is that some of the content I have input are not supported in HTML5.... so I really need the animations to work in the SWF file.
Can anyone help or does anyone know what is causing this problem for me?!!!
Thanks in advance guys!

Publish SWF Output Options Export HTML

I have a number of projects that display the Export HTML,
Output Option of Publish SWF as checked and disabled. When I
publish the project the htm file is not generated. All of these
projects have SCORM Reporting selected and should be producing the
swf file, htm file and scorm_support folder, but all I get is the
swf file. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Raymond Sugel Sr

IThis is an aside but would be good for other newbies to
know:
what I learned and maybe you already know this is that when I
published (having htm selected) it generated an output folder on
its own!!! Lorn behold my htm, swf, and a file named js (?), I
think was in that folder. I would have never gone looking for
another folder but happened to see that was where I had placed by
1st cp project days earlier.

Concern in published SWF file using Presenter for PPTX

I observed that the PPT files (2003 version) which were published using Presenter 7 were creating a SWF file containing multiple frames. However the PPTX files (2007) which were published using Presenter 7 were creating a SWF file containing single frame. I am wondering how do I access a movieclip containing an animation.

Let me re-phrase.
I am loading the Presenter SWF into my Flash file (controller). Once the file is loaded I am controlling that file; I mean to say, I play/pause or jump to particular frame using the Flash file (Controller). This was working fine when I published PPT files, however when I published the PPTX file I am not getting the expected timeline animation so as to control it.
Now I am wondering how I can control the PPTX published file using my controller.
I will grateful, if someone helps me to solve this issue.

How to play swf files in quicktime

I have recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MBP. Before I could play swf files (with no associated html files) in Quicktime okay, but in Snow Leopard you cannot select the swf to play. Is there a plug in that I now need to play this?

Perian is definitely not the route. Frrom http://perian.org :
File formats: AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6, and VFW
SWF is a special container made by Adobe Director and can be played back with streaming software, such as a Web page that has the Adobe Shockwave plugin. Open an SWF file in Safari or other browser after installing the latest Shockwave Player, free from Adobe. Some other software that is designed for streaming playback can play SWF media, but not a typical video player like QuickTime Player.
The contents of an SWF container might include an FLV video file or bitmap images either alone or with other data. Shockwave Player has 3D graphics and interaction options (can capture video, sound, mouse movements etc. from your system by default and send them to a remote server if you don't turn off these permissions).

How to play .swf files ?

I have some .swf files on my WIndows PC that I want to play.
The instructions on a website said to:
". . . play your flash files using the Adobe Standalone Flash
Player. For this you will first need to Download the Windows Flash
Player 9 Projector content debugger from the Adobe Site [Freeware].
There is NO installation needed. Just open the downloaded
.exe and open your .swf from within the Projector.
In order to associate all .swf files to open using the
Projector, right click the .swf file and "Open with" option. Once
there, choose the location of your Projector.exe and you are done."
This worked ONCE. The next time I logged on, the computer
could not play the files.
I'm thinking that this is because the programs referred to
were not running.
So - how do I (i) find the programs on my PC and then (ii)
create shortcuts so I can run them when I want ? I prefer not to
have them automatically load at startup.
Thank you.
Bob

Flash Player is a browser plugin. It's not designed to work as a standalone app for opening FLV or SWF. The standalone player EXE is a different animal.
Folks who don't own Flash Professional aren't going to have a standalone player.
For windows users, the Standalone player installer is in the archived players technote here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
However, it's not an application. It's just an EXE. You have to launch it, then use File> Open to open the local SWF. You can also keep it on your desktop and drag/drop SWF content to it.
