I've created a problem for myself regarding .swf files

At some point, for reasons I can no longer remember, I changed the way in which Firefox handles being told to open a .swf file. By default, it used to use Shockwave Flash, in a Firefox tab. Now I've set it to "Always ask" in the Options -> Applications window, and I don't have an option to change it back to "Use Shockwave Flash (in Firefox)". I can't find the Shockwave plugin anywhere on my system under "Use other -> browse" in the options. Can anyone help?

You can delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

Hi guys, once again I've been tinkering with my iMac (late 2008) model and created a problem for myself... I )as many before me have and will continue to do) selected get info on my harddrive and gave everyone "no access" so can't boot the system...

To complicate matters I tried to run the mac os snow leopard cd but alas it could not boot so it did not save me and now the cd won't eject either probably due to the no access to everyone. I was patient and gentle guys.
I have tried the following without success..
1. Ejecting the cd using the famous 5 options already posted on here.
2. Power on holding down "c".
3. Power on holding down "command s"
Basically reinstalling the system software, changing permissions, then using TM to restore my system before the problem seems impossible unless a genius here (or at the store) can help me with a rescue mission...
Can anyone help with this? Aside from this particular incident, I'm a pretty bright kid so happy to try a few things before giving up...
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi LetJoJoTakeOver, thank you for that. I did actually try the former piece of advice.
The problem has now been resolved by folks at the Apple Store and this it what they did...
1. Using one prepared earlier, they hooked up an external hard drive with Snow Leopard installed on it.
2. Held down the "Option" key while starting up my iMac.
3. Selected my hard drive then hit the "Command i" (get info) keys.
4. Restored the permissions under "everyone" to "read and write".
5. Ran "Disk Utilities" to make sure there were no other permission issues.
6. Restarted the iMac with the external hard drive disconnected.
Hey presto. It worked.
Lesson learned?
I think it's clear. You can pretty much do anything software related and the guys at the Apple Store can sort it out when all else fails.

I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives? So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

I need help how to create menu function for link to access file and allow user to save the file when click on it.
The file will keep inside server.AFAIK, you have to write a custom code to achieve this and Oracle does not provide this functionality.
If you want to store the file as an attachment, please see (How to Store Image/PDF Attachments on the File System in 11i and R12 (like Attachment File Directory) [ID 294525.1]).

Problems loading Adobe Flash SWF file

Our users are experienceing problems loading Adobe Flash SWF
files.
One example of a problem file is:
http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/popup_acr8_accessibility.html
User traffic is flowing through a Cisco ASA firewall - these
problems do not seem to occur from home networks or a Netscreen
firewall. The Cisco ASA does NOT have http deep packet inspection
turned on, and any traffic initiated by clients inside the firewall
should be allowed. The symptom is that Internet Explorer will begin
to download the video, but will hang at some point along the way
(for this particular URL it hangs at about 7%). No error messages
are displayed, but the video never displays on the screen either. I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have run into this
before, or if someone can explain what is different about this type
of file from regular Adobe Flash, that might help figure out what
the ASA is objecting to. The ASA does not appear to generate any
log messages about denying this type of traffic either.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

Thanks, but I use publish/export settings with GPU hardware acceleration and flash version 11.2 (and 11.8) but nothing happening.
And why gif file is not all transparenty then I insert on lightblue background? It can't export good quality? Also I use Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Edge Animate. And nothing happening. Egde animate file .oam is not good for old website navigation. It can't be inserted in freeshop site from navigation... I use logo file .oam just for example here - http://e-shoptagras.graphicsrim.eu
In reality I want swf file, but we don't find why logo flickering? here http://tagraseshop.graphicsrim.eu
All file's are transparenty - https://mega.co.nz/#!f8B2CD5R!J8uCJt9Sdq4Suz4HLhTHz8bzJcSWXMBIKcKZgkD3z8c
I need help! Please!

Creating a transparent background with a SWF file for Export to Air

I have been trying to place a SWF with a transparent background into an image component and use as a background for a widget. When I place the swf (just a simple single frame swf file) and output with any other method the background works perfectly. If I output to air then the background is a white rectangle with only a progress bar the stays at 0%. I have tried to not embed it but I get a broken link icon in the same rectangle.
What am I missing? Should the swf file have some special setting that I am missing?
I am using Xcelsisus 2008 with SP1 and FP1.
Thank you for any assistance.
Heath

While there is no means to be sure about the method in which SAP/BO creates their components. My assumption is that the component uses the WindowedApplication or an HTMLLoader object(more likely) to display each SWF file.
If this is the case then it is a known limitation in Adobe Air that we may be able to overcome by trying out the methods described in the following link: [Air Transparency Help|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e09.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a452d-7fe5]
Or try this link for more detail on [HTMLLoader display options within Air|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e79.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a3e36-7ff9]
Let me know if this works! Now I'm curious...

STRANGE problem with sound in SWF files...Please help if you know how...

Hello,
Okay, so, I recently learned how to use Adobe InDesign to create a book. there is a lot a still don't know. When I export my document as a SWF file, it works great and has sound and animations where it should. However, if I move that SWF to a new location, such as my desktop or uploading it to an e-mail, it looses all the sound information. To add sound to each page, I added a hidden object to each page that was the sound file so that I could attach it to a button. It seems that it is loosing that sound file if I move it to a new location. Any ideas or solutions?

UPDATE: I have learned that my problem is related to a "resourse folder" which must go wherever the file goes in order for it to have sound. This is a bit inconvinient for me, as my client is computer illiterate. I really want to find a way to just embed the sound into a file that you can just open and play. To the best of my knowlege, SWF format is the only format that allows for the page turning animation. Does anyone know a way to embed the sound into the SWF file or am I SOL here?

Problem with link in SWF file

good day to you all in this great forum
my name is james and i want to see if i can find help here in the forum for my problem.
I'm building a site for my friend. (the site is in hebrew so sorry....)
for the site building I'm using the software iweb - on mac.
the site is almost complete but i have 1 big problem.
this is the link to the site - [URL="http://www.skip-up.com"]skip-up[/URL]
I'm using a head menu in flash
i have this flash from some template i downloaded from the internet and all i had to do is change the buttons names and to change the links of the buttons to point to my html pages.
and now to the problem :
to get to the problem in general - the flash head links don't work
if i press it in the site on godaddy nothing happens i just don't see the flash head and instead i dee a page that says something like "the page can not be found"
if i go to my desktop to my site directory and press the links the only thing that happened is that the button is changing the color like I'm in the right page but I'm still in the original page.
and the strange thing is that by if i only open up the SWF file and press the links are working
and it's open up my browser and to the right page
1. you can see the structure of the site here in this page :
[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/3962332346_432d004df2.jpg[/IMG]
what i have is the master index.html and 2 directories : - the first one
called flash and have 1 flash file (this file is o.k with no problem)
and the other directory had all my site files
2. like i said i got the original FLA file and all i did is changing the buttons
names and changing the links of the buttons
the links i changed in the actions menu - i just searched for the original
url and change the names to much my website html pages names
3. here is the original FLA actions menu - you can see that I'm standing on
one of the links :
[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3483/3961893129_2b8fc4ecd9.jpg[/IMG]
and here is my fla after the changes - as you can see i just changed the
name:
[IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2544/3962668872_8693f399ba.jpg[/IMG]
4. i uploaded all my site (it's small zip file) if someone wants to see more
i tried to describe everything in details because it's very important for
me to find a solution [URL="http://rapidshare.com/files/286059228/skipupsite.zip.html"]skip-up site download[/URL]
I'm really hopping there's somebody that will be kind to help me out
thank you very much

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.

Problem with music in swf file when loading site to server

Hello,
I am a newbie to Flash and have an swf file I created for a
website,
http://www.kanzamancleveland.com.
I have a button there that turns the music on/off when the site
loads. I also put some music into the swf file, but instead of
putting it directly in the swf file, I am calling it from the
actionscript code in the swf file. I want it to stream when the
site loads and start loading/playing after the site loads. The code
is embedded in the on/off button. Now this code works when the swf
file is on my local hard-drive, but when I put it on the server
with the rest of the website, it doesn't work. Any ideas?
Here is the code:
import fl.motion.Keyframe;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var _sound:Sound;
var _channel:SoundChannel;
var _playing:Boolean = false;
var _position:int;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("lowsaaloony.mp3");
var buffer:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(5000);
_sound = new Sound( );
_sound.load(request, buffer);
_channel = _sound.play( );
_playing = true;
offbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onPlayPause);
function onPlayPause(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (_playing) {
_position = _channel.position;
_channel.stop( );
} else {
_channel = _sound.play(_position);
_playing = !_playing;
gotoAndPlay(2);
stop();
I put the code together going from various Flash help
websites, and it works when everything is on my local hd, but again
as I mentioned before, when I put it up on the server, the music
doesn't play. I contacted the hosting company and they said that
they do allow streaming music on a website using Flash. Any help on
what I am doing wrong, or what else I need to do would be highly
appreciated. Thank you.
Jay

Title for Flash movie (Swf file)

Hi
I want to add any title for my flash movie, As we can add any
title in HTML page with "title tag".
Usually the file name of flash file show as title like
"abc.swf"
but i want here another title like " Welcome to my xyz"
anything else....
Can anybody help me getting its solution....
Alok

Wishing to do the same thing, I've explored this with Macromedia. It appears to be a licensing problem for the Flash 5 engine. Macromedia wants a commitment of several thousand dollars (like close to 6 figures) to license the engine for an application. That's for a single applicaiton, and not a generic toolkit like JMF. I assume Sun found the same thing and balked, understandably.

Problem when load more swf files work with xml files into my movie

hi ;
I have one flash file & more of swf files which work with xml files .
when I load one swf file into my flash file and remove it and load anther one on the same movieclip in my flash file it load the old swf file.
when i load one on movieclip and remove it and load anther swf on anther movieclip the file doesn`t work and stoped.
when test my flash file to load and remove swf files without xml file it work fine but when repleaced the swf files with other work with xml files the problem hapend.
thanks;

YOu should trace the names of the files that are being targeted for loading to see if they agree with what you expect. If you want help with the coding you will need to show the code that is relevant to your problem (not all of it)

Facing problem while unloading the SWF file in SWF Loader

Facing problem with SWF Loader.
Background:
I've 4 SWF files (demo1.swf, demo1_skin.swf, demo2.swf and demo2_skin.swf).
These swf files are created throgh Adobe Captivate.
Playing demo1_skin, will play the demo1.swf with the controls at the button such as "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Forward", "Backward" and Seekbar.
Playing demo2_skin, will play the demo2.swf with the controls at the button such as "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Forward", "Backward" and Seekbar.
Scenario:
1. Clicked on the video1 leaf of the tree. Video1.swf is getting played.
I am able to click on the seek bar to take the video pointer to the desired position. I can drag the seek bar forward and backward also.
2. Clicked on the video2 leaf of the tree. Video2.swf is getting played.
I am not able to click on the seek bar to take the video pointer to the desired position. Also, I am not able to drag the pointer on the seek bar either forward or backward also.
Play, Pause, Stop, Forward, Backward buttons on the skin works properly.
3. If I again, click on the video1 leaf, point 1 observation is found.
4. clicking agian, on video2 leaf, point 2 observation found.
Please suggest.
I tried with Loader also. But, nothing fruitful. Same result, as I am getting from SWF Loader.

Any fix for not playing swf files?

Hello
Having trouble getting FF to play my Flash 8 swf files on
this page
http://www.enhancedwireless.net/indexrdm.html
There should be a small logo animated for about 3 sec in the
upper left of this page, but instead I get nothing on my MAC OS
10.3.9. and any of my friends using PC and MAC get nothing as well.
Safari plays this fine...Also there are 7 or 8 banners on
this page 4 of which are swf files, and these are scripted to play
randomly on every refresh of this page, however they do not appear
at all on FF/netscape on mac or PC...some machines get nothing,
some get a big Quicktime logo in the middle of where the swf banner
should play. All my swf files need Flash player 8 or higher to
work. IE 6 has problems but IE 7 seems to play these OK.
So, how to fix this?
Thanks
KB

You may have already tried this yet have you tried exporting
your file using a lower flash player? No guarantees but its always
worth a try

Control volume for an embedded swf file in Captivate 5

Hello everyone -
I have just searched the forum but cannot find anything on controlling the volume for an embedded swf within Captivate 5. The cap 5 palyback controls will not be used. Is there a way to control the volume ? I found info for AS 2 bur not as 3.0
Thanks much
Rick

I tried this as a solution:
I imported the .swf file to Captivate. I tried to then publish the file as as .FL4, to then reimport into Captivate.
That should give me the option to control the entire movie (sound and video) using Captivate playbar.
BUT, when i try to publish as .FL4, only the sound published, not the video.
Any suggestions?
(i have searched this site and the web in detail and have not fouind a solution),

I've created a problem for myself regarding .swf files
