IE7 & Flash - Help!
I'm developing a Flash player to stream my radio station
(www.protonradio.com) and its coming along pretty well, except we
cannot get audio play back on CERTAIN systems with IE7 installed on
PC! Music plays fine in Firefox, previous versions of IE, etc...
but for some reason 50% of our users with IE7 cannot tune in.
The stream is a continous sound object we load in, I thought
it might be a security issue. We made sure the swf file and stream
were on the same server/port, and even tried lowering the security
settings in IE, but still some people were not able to play back
the stream. I for one in IE7 could listen fine, so I'm dumbfounded
as to why this isn't working...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi...
I have exactly the same problem, in the same case (streaming
a webradio).
I really don't understand. Did you finally resolve your
problem, please ?
Thank you very much.

Why is Flash Help/Search function so worthless?
Is it just me or is the Flash help function the worst help
function ever?
In other software you get the results you were looking for in
seconds
in Flash everytime you do a search you get like a hundred
different
search results and usually none cover the topic you were
looking for.
Its often easier to search on google than use the internal
help function
Why is it so hard to only display relevant results?
Could anyone teach me how to use the search function cause I
dont want
to read 1000 pages just to find out the difference between
align and distribute
options etc.
Thx /AquaStealthIt seems this article was written just for you! :)

Flash Help Not Updating on Web
I've uploaded a Flash help project to our web site. But the
latest information is NOT showing up, no matter how many times I
click refresh or clear out the associated cached files. I've even
deleted all the items on the server and re-uploaded the entire
project. I've verified that the file sizes and dates are
identical...
Yet the browser is showing an older version.
Any else experienced this? And how do I fix it? It's
happening in both IE and FF.
Thanks in advance.Hi Jared
Are you certain that the server has been updated? I've been
in a few development environments where you uploaded initially to a
staging server. Then after a certain period of time, the staging
server would update to one or more production servers. So depending
on the timing as well as the server you are accessing at the time
(Important to note that, as load balancing and whatnot can present
different servers depending on the load) you may see that help has
updated properly on one server and the next page refresh shows it
hasn't yet updated to the other.

Having trouble opening flash help/f1 in cs6
This is so stupid I can't get any help I need from any one I don't know what I am even doing here. I have tried to contact adobe but all they want you to do is join or become a member of their boards and that is it. I am having trouble opening flash help on cs6 and no one can help me do it. I have join all that adobe wants me to join I have done and paid out all that adobe has requested why can't I get help when I need it with their products?
sound like you try to opne flashMX2004 or flash8 foles in MX.
that wount work. An upgrade would help, or asking your source for
those flas to save then in MX format - which is not possible in
Flash 8 though. -
Hello Robohelp Users,
we want to create our own Robo Flash Help. Does it works with
the Flash Basic Version or do we need the Flash Professionell
version?
MargitMargit -
Flash Help is a product of Robohelp; your users only need
Macromedia's Flash player installed in order to view it. Which,
according to MM, is about 97.7% of the Internet-connected PCs.
So, it looks like you're good to go, yes? -
Flash Help and Publishing / IIS
My supervisor is responsible for publishing my projects to
our intranet server. He published a project of mine and found that
he ran into issues with IIS. I don't have all the details so this
may not be enough to get a good answer, but he told me that he had
to use an * (wildcard) in IIS to allow all the Flash Help
functionality to show on a web page. He wants to know what can be
done so the * does not have to be used, if anything, to have all
the functionality present. Thanks for any help if this is enough to
give a direction, and if not I will try and get more details from
him for later.Hi jacobremprex
Are you using Flashhelp Pro output and the RH Server
software? If not, I don't think you need IIS to publish to the
intranet. You just need to publish to the intranet URL.
Can you tell us where the wildcard has been placed and also
what pieces of Flashhelp functionality aren't working. -
How could I change the heade in Flash Help
Hi everybody,
I am pretty new to this forum, that is I just began to probe
with RH7, and it is going well so far, because of your help and the
technical service's help from Adobe.
I tried different layers to see which one is the most
appropriate for my project, and the Flash is very interesting.
However, I would like to put a logo or a text in the header
(the coloured one), and I have no clue how, and what tool I should
use.
Is anybody familiar with Flash Help tweaking?
Thank you,
BogdanI'm not familiar with the .fsw file type. Where are you
finding that file? Is it named skin_background_tb?
Try searching for skin_background_tb.fla in your project's
source files. I think .fla is your best bet.
It's been long enough since I've started a brand new
FlashHelp project that I can't remember if the "FlashHelp Default"
skin is included in the project automatically or if you have to
generate the layout with a skin from the gallery before any Flash
skin files appear in your source files. If you haven't done so
already, open the FlashHelp layout dialog, select a skin, and
generate the layout. Once you've done this, you should see a folder
within the !SkinSubFolder! directory that has the name of the skin
you selected. That skin folder should contain all the .fla and .swf
files for the skin. Those .fla files are the ones you would edit to
change the skin. (Whenever you edit a .fla file, you then export it
as a .swf movie to that same skin folder, then generate the layout
again to see the results.) -
I don't comment much, I tend to be the quiet kind of user
that just does my own thing. I am quite upset with Adobe's change
in the help feature in Flash. I understand that things change with
updates. That's a reason i get work sometimes. Someone wants to
update.
I so loved the large amount of useful code and examples
buried in the Help files in previous versions of Flash. Through
these i could riddle my why through a problem. Multiple examples of
how to use something was often the only way to figure out what I
was trying to do.
Are those days now long gone? I hope not. I am not a
programmer, but i do have some programming experience. I am a web
designer. i prefer not to live in binary, classes and the like.
Often these samples worked as idea starters, and answers to late
night prayers when the oil had been burning all too long. You know,
when your head gets fuzzy and you need to go to bed but the project
has to be done....
Well I don' t mean to be the whiner, but is there anything
that can be done about this?
I know there are some samples in there, I flipped through it
for a while, but i feel the quality of the Help menu in Flash has
dropped dramatically. The new neat features in the Help menu and
the nice skin don't measure up to the loss in content. I plan on
working with MX by my side so i can use its Help features, because
CS3 doesn't look like it will do the job.
Anyone else want to comment?
Thanks,
mr_bidinkleI found this thread through a search.
Has Flash help menu been savaged to leave only two headings??
I only have the following two main headings in my Help Menu:
Using Actionscript 2.0 Components
Actionscript 2.0 Components Language Reference
I have bought the Rich Media Project Player and List
Component and they said their help file is also installed.
I cannot see that here either.
Whats going on? Can an Adobe person answer this for
me?? -
Greetings everyone. I am currently trying to create a Flash
Help, I was able to set the settings up properly on my current
machine after having to go through modifing the settings. My
question is, is there a way to bypass the security need, many of
the clients would get easily confused on how to set this up. thanks
in advance
JamesHi James and welcome to our community
Are you planning on having FlashHelp copied to each user's
PC? My reason for asking is because you are only worried about this
security issue if they are running the content from the local PC.
If they will be running your FlashHelp from a server on the web or
on an intranet, there is no need to configure security. It simply
works. The security arises because the content is running on the
local PC.

Using "Flash Help" to help make flash game?
Hello,
I've noticed the other day that in Flash, the "Flash Help (F1)" found under "Help" is licensed under "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License". The resources found on adobe.com in the Flash Development Center is also licensed with this.
The license state:
" You are free:

I'm trying to learn flash so I can make flash games. I plan to get them sponsored by game portals and attach them to MochiAds--so technically this would be commercial, yes?
So does this mean I CAN'T use "Flash Help" or any of the resources found in adobe's Flash Development Center to learn how to use actionscripts?
Of course I don't plan to bluntly copy-paste codes, but it would be nice if I could adapt and learn how things work. Sometimes I get stuck and I need a reference... The last thing I'd want is to get into some copyright trouble =/
Sorry if this post is out of place. I tried to ask in Customer Support days ago but I get the feeling that they've ignored me.
Any extra advices are welcome.
Thank you,
JaneWhat is with all the folks asking "copyright" questions lately? Are you all in some class or something? I am not a copyright lawyer so don't take anything I say as the absolute truth, but I have had a long standing interest in these issues...
Anyways copyright is not an absolute right, there is an important part of copyright law called "fair use" and it is important. Of course it is also the source of a lot of disagreements and law suits...
A clear case of infringement would be if you tried to just take the Flash help and publish your own "learn actionscript" help book or website.
But given that the help documentation is meant to teach you how to use the product it seems that it would be clearly within fair use to use it to learn how to use the product.
And while the US courts have not been particularly intelligent about technical innovation -- often granting patents and copyright to very basic code, while not protecting truly innovative and clever invention -- the argument that the basic instantiation of a class and invocation of its methods, properties, and events, is pretty clearly the only way to do these things. Adobe would have no reason -- in fact they would have quite the opposite -- to pursue a claim against somebody who used actionscript.
Given the absurdity of the US courts (if here is where you be) just change the names of the variables from the samples and you are most likely fine since it would confuse them. -
Error using index search field in flash help
Hello again,
Hopefully this will be an easy question. In Flash help, when
on the Index tab, if I use the search box to search for an index
word, the following error displays: "A script in this movie is
causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run,
your computer may become unresponsive. Do you wish to abort
the script?" Note: It usually works the first time I search for a
word, but if I search for a second word it gives the error.
If I tell it NOT to abort the script, the computer still runs
slowly. If I tell it to go ahead and abort the script, Internet
Explorer freezes up.
Is there something that I can change in the code anywhere to
prevent that from happening in the first place? Alternately, is
there a way to change the skin to completely remove that input
field? It's not necessary to our process to have it there, so long
as the index entries are there with the scroll bar.I tried to modify the skin, and what ends up happening is
that if I remove the input field, the entire index disappears. I've
tried modifying the xml file to simply remove the single line of
code that calls the input field for the index, and again... the
index displays as empty at that point, and unusable. This may be
due to my ruidmentary (at best) skills with flash, xml, etc.
I asked our in-house web team and Flash team to look at the
index issue, and they discovered something strange. The index only
breaks if the index word entered starts with the letter A. Has that
ever happened to anyone else? We’ve tried multiple help
projects on multiple boxes (computers), and the results have been
very inconsistent. Sometimes the index breaks, sometimes not, but
ONLY when the index entry starts with an A. -
Hello,
I have Robohelp 5x and using Word 2002 and I recented updated
to CS3 (suite). For all of my flash help output I use the started
blue skin, have a generic TOC and a small glossary. Typically I
make my updates and then go to View Primary layout and the help
files will generate/regenerate and everything is fine.
Well, it's not working any more. I suspect from what I've
read here it had something to do with Flash, but I am not sure. Has
anyone else had this problem or know a work around? I'm at a loss.
Thanks,
MimiThank you for writing back.
I wasn't seeing anything after making my updates. I thought
it may have been a Flash 9 issue with security. It turns out that
it may have been a permission problem. I did not know or am not
100% sure what happens when a user needs to publish content. When I
compared the previous output files to what was being created
without administrator permission the were about 100 or so less
files compiled.
This forum is very helpful and I appreciate the help. If
anyone has a recommendation what I should read to learn more about
output files and permissions I'd gladly take them. My problem is
working now after my admin rights were added back on my local
machine. It would be nice to be able to have some back up
documentation incase I have to argue with my IT department to get
admin rights restored should it happen again.
Thanks!

Flash Help not displaying in IE7
Hi all,
Another issue (I'm having a great afternoon!) - Running the
RH for Word 6 sample projects - when output to FlashHelp, the flash
menus do not display.
I have the latest version of Flash (9.0.smething) and IE7 and
regularly run Flash output I have created in other programmes
(Captivate and Premiere). I know RH well, having used it for over
ten years but I stopped upgrading at X3.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,

Typically, I simply delete the entire folder, then, the next time I
open IE, the browser re-downloads all of the plug-ins, and flash
works again.
Uninstallers don't work with a corrupt control, you actually
have to manually delete it from the downloaded program files

thanks. i tried but cant delete the folder. it says 'you need

IE7 & Flash Movie not displaying FF works fine
Hi,
I have an issue with IE7 and my Flash video movies. When I
use IE7 (7.0.5730.13) the 6 videos (flash movies) on the page do
not display all 6 BUT in FF they all display and my navigation menu
works fine. The video boxes/placeholders change when I refresh the
page in IE7, but again, not all 6 show like in FF and the menus
won't work properly.
Any help! Please use common/dummy talk so I can fix it. The
page is:
http://www.ferndalehistoricalsociety.org/history_video.htmlThe movies are MASSIVE. I Think you are just not waiting long
enough. It
took >15 minutes for FF to show all of the video frames.

Flash Forms Not Rendering in IE7, Flash 9
We're having a problem with flash forms in IE7 and Flash
Player 9 not rendering the entire form. The form works fine in
Firefox 2. It looks to be a problem with how the Flash player is
able to pull back data in IE7. Likely this pertains to how IE7
handles security of plug-ins.
Oddly, we've noticed that uninstalling the Flash 9 player and
then reinstalling results in the form rendering correctly the first
time, but on subsequent views the form no longer renders correctly.
Specifically, we're not seeing data that is being called via
Flash remoting in cfselect tags (state and country information).
And we're not seeing text rendered that is in cfformitem tags. Our
dev url is:
http://hopeequity.beaconfire.com/loggedout/index.cfm?event=StartInvesting_StartAGroupStep1
If anyone has an idea of why IE7 might not be able to render
the form correctly, or might have security-related issues with
remoting and Flash 9, please reply.I was granted access to the manuals on our prod server (the
site is set up where you have to log in to see the manuals). The
manuals are behaving differently on the prod server than in our dev
server. The following is happening on the prod server:
- the flash menus are appearing on our prod server in FireFox
only.
- I had reported in our dev area that when I right clicked on
the left hand side where the menus are to appear in IE that the
Flash menu displayed. This is not the case in our production area.
- I get the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure
items" when viewing the site on our prod server through IE
I've asked them what version of RoboHelp they are using and
no one seems to know. It seems they don't regenerate their help
files (manuals) very often.
