Insert hyperlinks to swf file

Hello!
I have a swf file which consists of 3 movie clips (3 swf
files). When the 1st movie clip fades out, the 2nd one fades in.
And the same for the 3rd one. I want to insert 3 individual links
to the 3 movie clips so that when people click on the 1st movie, it
links to page A of my website and cliks on the 2nd movie links to
page B and so on.
Can anyone advise how to do that?
Thanks!
Ken

Give your clips instance names and you can then reference
them with
ActionScript. There's a perfect example in the Help - Global
Functions -
getURL. Check out the example using onRelease to send a mail.

PowerPoint Hyperlink to swf file

I'm calling a 384x320 swf file from Powerpoint. When the
hyperlink is clicked, it opens up the swf file, but it opens it up
in a maximized window. Is there any code I can add to the address
that will allow the window to be opened up to the proper size? I
could possibly do this calling up a browser, but I want to keep it
simple.

I did find one workaround that seems to work. I created an
AutoIt exe file that opens up the exe version of the swf file, and
then restores the window from its maximized state. It won't run the
swf file though.

Beginner! How to insert a dynamic swf file into a movie (AVI, FLA etc)

If I am intruding here with a silly beginner questions I apologize. I am new to Flash. I have purchased a dynamic flash intro sort of like this http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-intro/26664.html
It came with the full package including source files and but also simple editing through an xml file. I have the video as I want it but want to put it as an introduction for a full video (in AVI or .FLA format).
How can I export it as a video file without the need of anything else such as the xml?

Just press insert into the program and bring up what you need to insert. Check out on http://www.famouswhy.com how do i did it.

Using linked flv content in swf file -for deployment on Breeze server

Can anyone tell me the procedure for creating swf and linked
flv file with Sorenson Squeeze for deployment on the Breeze server
or in Breeze Presenter? All Adobe will share is the how to this
with Flash. I feel certain this can be done but all my attempts
have failed to have the swf show the referred flv link. To
interpret the Flash procedure, it seems that all one has to do is
add /output "file name" to the swf player flve linked url, but the
published flv file only shows a white screen. It does not seem to
load the linked flv file - even if I have allowed public viewing of
the flv content.

The procedure may be the same - I'm pretty familiar wit h
that by now - but the results are not. I think the key difference
is that the linked file url addendum "/output/filename" required
from Breeze when creating the linked flv url call-out from the swf
file, does not work is advertised in Sorenson Squeeze. Before
attempting to insert this linked swf file in Presenter, I have
attempted to elicit the same interactivity just by uploading the
fwo files to the Breeze server. Sorenson does not seem to be able
to recognize that additional linked url with the additional "output
/ file name" addendum that Breeze requires. I have replicated that
same procedure in Flash 8 and the results work perfectly. I just
don't like being forced to use a 900 lb gorilla like Flash 8 to
create this simple task when a less costly program like Sorenson is
squeeze should work correctly. Frankly, I think a lot of other
Breeze authors, who are not as adept with this video encoding
process, or who want to be using a developer tool like Flash to
create their video clips. My experience with our users is that that
most shy away from using video in Breeze because it is way too
cumbersome. - Something Adobe should consider before more prospects
move over to another similar authoring program that has actually
dedicated itself to advancing their authoring software
capabilities.

Programmatically add rtf hyperlink to rtf file

I need to create a method that receive a string with a filepath and I have to update a rtf file inserting that string as a hyperlink. The problem is how to translate the filename into a clickable rtf link in C# to add it to the file. I tried to use a RichTextBox
initializing the text property with the rtf file text but I don't know how to add the link. And I tried doing it directly in rtf but the link don't target to the filepath because I need a txfielddata with some kind of hexadecimal code that I don't know how
to generate it. I'm totally stuck...
Any idea?

Hi anleopa,
I think your main question is how to insert a hyperlink into .rft file via c#.
When we try to add rtf formatted staff into the file, we need to write rtf code into the file. About rft code, please refer to
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10725
And there is a great code sample(http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/98062/RTF-Document-Constructor-Library) which includes the implementation of inserting hyperlink
to .rft file. Generally, we need to write something like:
{\field{\*\fldinst HYPERLINK "http://www.microsoft.com"}{\fldrslt Microsoft}}
into the file.

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

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.

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.
Cheers... Rick

Inserting swf file into dw vs. creating full site in flash

I'm updating a website, and am pretty familiar w/html and DreamWeaver, but would like to add some elements of Flash into the site. I am using Flash CS4.
What is the advantage and/disadvantage of inserting various swf files into my DW site versus just creating the entire site in Flash; what's the difference in either approach?
If I do the latter, do I eventually bring it into DW anyways so that it is an html file?
Thanks for your help!

There can be potential issues with Flash content in a web site since the evolution of iStuff led to disallowing Flash content to be displayed. If you are looking to attract a mobile user base, then going with Flash can be a gamble, especially as you go further on into the future where there will no longer be Flash Player development to parallel the mobile market.
I have heard that Flash content does not support handicapable design elements that html/css provide for.
You can always have the web page code check for the availability of the Flash Player, and if not found have alternative content presented instead.
An issue with having a full Flash site is that it can be less SEO friendly than going with straight html-based designed, although since the Flash content would still reside in an html page there are some measures that can be taken to support SEO concerns.
For a full Flash site design you would probably not need DW since Flash can generate an html page of its own.
I recommend you post your questions in the Dreamweaver forum as well. The reaction there to using Flash content is likely to be harsh, so don't take it personally, but some helpful information might still be gleamed from trying.

Hyperlinks to pdf files not working when project is exported out as SWF and uploaded to server

hI all
I'm using CS5 and i have hyperlinks to pdf files in my indesign project. However when i export to SWF, although the links work locally, they do not work when i upload all the relevant folders and files and test it from a server the links to the pdfs can not be found, the error messages indicates its looking for the files on my hard drive. I have also noticed that if i copy all the relevant folders and files and exported swf to a different directory and then launch swf from there the links do not work there either.
Other than seperately uploading each pdf indvidually on to the server and then creating a hyperlink to it from the local indesign project i don't know what else to do.
Any advice much appreciated.

I have your same problem, but didn't consider uploading the PDFs and then linking to them. I'm willing to try it. Let me know if you ever found a better way, ok?
Thanks.

Font in SWF file different once inserted and previewed in Captivate 5

I have inserted a SWF File as an animation into my captivate 5 movie. When I view the SWF file independently, thus, outside of Captivate, the font looks exactly as it should: in Arial. However, once I have inserted the SWF file into Captivate and preview the Animation, the font changes to something which looks like Times New Roman.
A colleague tested the file on her computer also and experienced the same issue.
Does anyone have an idea what could solve this? Does a setting need to be changed in Flash or in Captivate?
Thank you so much!!

OK. Changing to a different font to test is a good strategy. Stick with a standard Windows font, e.g. Verdana.
There have been some issues with fonts getting corrupted that were reported several months ago when Cp5 first came out. Caused some wierd behaviour including preventing Cp from opening at all: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3441458#3441458
Hope yours turns out to be something much simpler.

Help with inserting SWF file into .html page

I created a photo gallery in Flash CS5.5, using the advanced photo gallery template. It works fine as a standalone SWF file but it's not displaying properly when I try and insert it into the Gallery page of my website.
The thumbnails are showing as blank white boxes and the main image holder isn't showing at all, though the controls beneath it are showing. The SWF file and all the images are stored in site/images/gallery/ and my Gallery page is in the root. What's going on here? Can anyone help please?
Thanks

If you are storing any of your Flash assets in sub-folders and having problems... it's most likely because of pathing problems. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
Best wishes,
Eye for Video

What it boils down to is that you need to path the Flash assets from the Web page that you place the main .swf on... NOT the physical location of the .swf

How to Hyperlink SWF File

Sorry if this was already discussed, hyperlink swf hit nothing here and I don't know what else to search.
I placed a client's .swf file in my web page and I am unable to hyper-link it back to her site.
What am I missing?

> I use Flash so I build my links within the SWF file.
If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will not be spidered
most likely
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what will those users
do?
4. Your authoring cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do? You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from the next version of
Dreamweaver.
With regard to the 'over Flash' question, all Active content on a page will
always rise to the top, so to speak, including Flash, certain form elements,
Java applets, and Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this properly!).
