I can't get a SWF file that runs perfectly in browsers to run in the Business Catalyst environment

My website has 3 parts. The initial HTML page which upon opening plays a video. The link below gives you that. 
http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com (It takes a few seconds to get going) 
  When the video ends a SWF file plays. The code below should show you what is supposed to happen. 
http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com/SWFbutton.html 
  The difficulty is that the SWF file won't automatically play from the website within Business Catalyst. It all works perfectly when I run the webpage in different browsers through Dreamweaver. Also if I just double click the website file where it sits on my computer... the resident browser picks it up and all is well.
I've already exchanged quite a few e-mails with Business Catalyst support and InDesign support... (The SWF file was created using InDesign) ...but we don't seem to be getting anywhere. I can't think of anywhere else to go... so... here I am.
                                                                                                  Thanks,
                                                                                                   Michael McLaughlin

Hello Liam,
         Let me see if I'm understanding you. Are you are saying that it
takes a few seconds for the video to get going after the initial pages
comes up? Yes, I'm aware of that, but it's only a few seconds and then it
runs. Or are you saying that the SWF file takes time to get going?  I've
opened the website http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com, let the video
run and simply waited, but nothing happens.
         However, I've noticed something curious. When I preview the Grid w
flip html in BC, everything runs its course as it should. When I run it
with http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com there's something of a
stall. The video has to end... the code to open the swift file is onended...
but the fade to black at the end of the video never quite happens. A faint
image which is not the last of the video can be seen on the screen. So...
it appears the video hasn't really ended... so the SWF file doesn't run.
          So... does BC impose some limit on the length of a video when
it's accessed through http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com that it
doesn't when its run within BC?

  • Please I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/

    I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/
    Please help if can figure this out. I'm convinced it is a Windows XP SP3 problem from searching on google and seeing other ppl on XP SP3 with same problem (but no working solution for myself). I'll try to be complete-listing all I've done.
    I had installed: Java SE Runtime Environment v6u14 for Windows Multi-language
    I had checked here it was working properly: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
    I'm trying to run this jar file (soht-client-0.6.2.jar):
    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/telnetoverhttp/soht-java-client-0.6.2.zip?download
    http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/soht/javaclient.html < this is the information for the program.
    (yes the file can be executed and should open the program's window
    I wanted to post screenshot of it but friend that it's working for isn't here)
    _(Please find log of all cmds I did in this post here: http://pastebin.com/f792983df )_
    _I have extracted +'all' the files to: C:\062\+_ (I have tried using other directories, same problem)
    ++I then start/open/run/cmd+
    then I: cd C:\062\+
    then I try various commands - all+ of these do absolutely nothing- meaning no errors, no reply, no window opens, nothing except enters that directoy again:
    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar

    java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
    soht-client-0.6.2.jar

    The SOHT Java Client requires a properties file. Either start
    the application in the same directory as the soht.properties
    file, or specify the file name on the command line:
    java -jar soht-cleint-<version>.jar c:\soht.properties
    So then I do these cmds which produce the exact same error/reply just above; Unable to load..:
    j_ava -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client soht.properties_
    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\062\soht.properties
    So then I copy soht.properties to C root and do:
    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\soht.properties <same error as above
    Then from other information I have read I right click on the .jar file, select open with Always open with:
    _"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"_
    Try again.. same problem.
    Then I do cmd:
    _"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\062\soht-client-0.6.2.jar"_
    does nothing, retry the other commands same thing (either nothing or those same replies)
    Then I read (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5384879) someone had the same problem as I and they solved it by uninstalling all Java/reboot/ then install JDK 6 Update 14 with NetBeans 6.5.1 start NetBeans and then it worked for them.
    So I unistalled all Java, rebooted and gave the cmd another try (before re-installing), now a new error, of course:
    C:\062>java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
    Then I install  Java SE and NetBeans Cobundle (JDK 6u14 and NB 6.5.1) Final Release/ reboot/ open Netbeans/
    go to test java page; all is good, run cmds again -and still nothing..
    C:\062>java -version

    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)

    I reassociate program with: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.007\bin\javaw.exe_
    same thing.. nothing
    Thank you very much for your time :D_
    PS. My computer has been newly reformatted so needing another reformat I'm sure is not the solution.

    Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
    Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
    Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
    This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
    swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
    The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
    java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
    Thank you again...the mystery remains
    PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

  • How can I get a swf file to load...

    Not sure if this is the place to ask this but I have a swf file embeded in a web page design.
    Now here’s the issue, the client wants to add more photos to it making it even larger.
    I would prefer not to make it larger but create 2 or 3 swf files that would randomly load when the webpage is refreshed or reloaded.
    Is there a way to code a random swf loading in HTML?
    Would I use javascript? I googled and found nothing on the subject.
    Thank you

    If you know JavaScript (ECMA Script) then you might be able to get it done applying a for loop and a random function
    to the for loop if you know how to get a page-loaded request into JavaScript.
    But an easier solution, if you know ActionScript 3.0, and if your SWF's don't need to be recoded and can load into a "container" SWF would be to create a master FLA file that loads your SWF's in a random fashion using Math.random() as a multiplier, though you won't see much variation if you only have 2-3 SWF's to load--if you had more than that then you would begin to benefit from the random function's capabilities.  In ActionScript 3.0 use the load() method along with addChild() to load the SWF and add it to the stage.  You will be able to search for specifics on how to code the FLA properly by using Flash's Adobe Help tool and also using an internet search.
    -markerline
    P.S. Once you have the master FLA coded you can Publish it to an SWF and an HTML and if the container/master SWF needs to be in a page with other content you can simply copy and paste the object and embed tags for the container SWF from the published HTML into any place on your master HTML that you need it to reside.  You can then use CSS to control placement of the SWF object if it is in a div tag.

  • Can't get an swf file to play

    I am working on my first flash site. I have a main site that
    uses several swf files that were created seperately. One of them is
    a menu bar that I designed outside the main site, and I imported it
    using "Import to stage". It works just as it should. I also have a
    button that I defined outside my main site, and I imported it in
    the same way.
    But now I am trying to import a slideshow that I created
    outside the main site, and it will not work. The import happens
    without error, and I can see the slideshow, but I can't get the
    move to play. This is the kind of slideshow that has thumbnails
    continuously scrolling at the bottom, so the user can pick one to
    be displayed in a larger slide above the thumbnail.
    Do I have to use a preloader instead of using "Import to
    stage"? I have seen several tutorials describing how to create a
    preloader, and I think I can do that without too much trouble. I
    would just like to know if that is NECESARRY, and that "Import to
    Stage" is limited in its capabilities in some way.
    Thanks for any advice you can give.

    I am using "this" in the slideshow files. That does not
    present the same scoping problem as "root" does, does it?
    Also, I have noticed that, with the other swf files that I
    have imported to the stage (a menu I created, for instance), the
    structure of the file remains in tact when I import it. The layers
    retain their names, the actionscript is there, etc. But, when I
    import the slideshow swf file, the layer structure is very
    different from the original swf file. And, most importantly, I
    can't find any of the actionscript that is in the original file.
    So, I must be exporting slideshow to .swf incorrectly. I have
    checked all the settings, and they appear to be the same as when I
    export the menu to .swf but, the results are very different.
    Very frustrating...

  • How can I get my swf files playing on browser?

    Hello,
    I've been designing my first website and have used dreamweaver, which is very new to me. I've followed a very good beginners guide to making websites and all was well. However, it had nothing about uploading swf files. So I did some research, and found that the easiest way was to insert them into a div box using the media section and choosing swf. again all was well, I can preview it in chrome etc.. and all works fine.
    I've come to uploading my site and I've used filezilla, uploaded all the files but I can't see the swf playing on the website. I've looked into it and I just can't find the answer. I've tried uploading them directly into the root folder as well but that doesn't work.
    Can somebody please help me!!
    here are the links:
    www.creativecanvassing.co.uk = the swf should be positioned between the orange logo and the "national direct marketing company' text. There is also the section in picture which has the same problem
    not too sure how to attach the copy of the file that shows its all working
    Thanks

    Hello,
    are you really sure that you have uploaded this page with contents? I've got this, when calling this link: http://www.creativecanvassing.co.uk/pictures.html:
    Your swf file is running in my IE8 like a charm in all your other pages.

  • How can I get rid of files that cannot be imported error message

    Hello, this is my first post. I am a new mac user. I have imported my jpgs from an external hard drive which was in the most part successful, however, 14 of the files appear to be corrupted and every time I open iphoto9, I get the error message, '14 of your files could not be imported, would you like to import them now?' I have tried choosing both options yes and no and it then writes error message telling me it has created recovered photos folder. When you go to this folder it is empty and every time I restart iphoto, I get the same message. I have tried deleting all the files and re-importing only to find that the number of corrupted files has now doubled. I have also deleted the iphotos library recovered photo folders to no avail. I have tried creating a new library and importing the files to that but the same problem occurred. How can I get rid of this repeated error as I am now up to recovered folder number 47! Help!

    P Robbins
    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (in the pictures folder by default) and select the show package contents command - find the import (or importing) folder and drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - you should be fine now - open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them then trash the folder

  • Can I get back a file that logic deletes... Well I did but I had thought I saved the file under a different name?

    Hi. I have been using logic pro on the computer at music school... A Mac pro... Anyway, I was recording a friends band. W got some awesome takes down. I was then doing a little post, saved the file as one name and then stared working on it under a new file name. Anyway, logic came up with a splash that asked if I would like to delete the original file, and I clicked yes, as I thought I had saved the session under a different name just earlier. Anyway, I lost everything. Ok... Shirt I thought... But I managed to find everything in the recycle bin. Except one awesome take of an awesome song, I am a little bit heart broken as I've gone though the sessions undo file in quite some detail, but I seem to have lost it. I have access to the file on my Mac at home (MacBook pro, and logic express 8 I think) cool that I can open logic pro files in logic express, but anyway. Anyone want to offer me any solace? I think a solution might be too much to ask for....

    If you were using OSX 10.7 then you could go back to a previous version, but you have overwritten the file.

  • How can I get a .cgi file that keeps downloading to work in the browser?

    When I click on the .gif "Mod 3" on the URL below, Firefox (and Safari) just download a .cgi file to my desktop. I don't know if I CAN get this link to work, but I'd like to.
    http://osr.rice.edu/consent/mod2soc/mod2sec7.html#q2_5
    Tried monkeying around with the Applications preferences, but doesn't seem relevant. Doesn't give me an option to do anything other than download the file when I click the link. I tried Safari too, just to see if that'd make any difference, and it didn't.

    That is a problem with the code on that page.<br />
    It is a perl script that needs to run on that server, but the link seems to be missing (GET) parameters that the script should evaluate. If there are no such parameters passed to the script then you get such a download pop-up.
    What should happen if you click that button?

  • How can i get my SWF file to play my music?

    So i've put my music on the document and it plays normal whenever I play it through the flash file. However, when I press command + enter to play it as the swf, the music is completely silent. I've tried turning the music file to raw speech and 44 khz as the sample rate, but I don't know what else to do from there. Its still not playing though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • TS1741 I have my ipad2 playing music to my Apple TV. But can't get photos or videos that I took from my photo library to the tv. What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for any help..

    I have an ipad2 and iPhone 4. Trying to get photos and videos from the ipad2 to apple tv.  My music is playing fine on the tv, but how do I get the photos and video onto the tv?  Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPhone 4s, double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • In Blurb trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.

    I am in Blurb, trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe ELements 10.  To upload I need to navigate in my computer to whatever Adobe folder has the album, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.  So I wanted to save the album to
    an external drive where I could be sure to find them for the upload
    But when I tried to copy the photo album, the dialog box said that the photos will be deleted from the main program.  I didn't like the sound of that, so I chose "Backup" which seems to have copied everything from Adobe to my eternal drive, not just the photo album that I want.  To make matters worse, but exported folder named for my photo album is not the group of photos that I assembled in Adobe.
    How do I upload directly from Adobe the program on my hard drive so I can be sure it is the correct assemblage of photos?

    The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.
