Inserting Flash into Breeze

I finally started getting comfortable with Breeze and
publishing to the web. But now I wanted to insert an .MOV. I ran it
through Flash to convert it to .swf and put a skin on it. Then I
used 'Insert Flash' from the Adobe Presenter menu. It works fine
when I viewed it using slide show, but when I published it to my
computer the .swf slide came up with a small flashing symbol and
the movie never appeared.
When I sent the ppt to a friend who has the same programs he
could not even view it with slide show.
I am using Flash version 9 from Adobe CS3 and Powerpoint
2003.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Winegrapes

Winegrapes,
When you convert your file to SWF do it to Flash Player 6 or
7. This should solve the problem.
Also, getting presenter 6.1 may help

CSS Help! Inserting flash into a div has caused layout change

Hi,
I am trying to insert flash into a div. I'm new to CSS so I
think I must be doing something wrong. As soon as I insert the
flash the layout goes wrong and all divs below it are pushed down
out of my "main" div. I've now taken the flash.swf out and inserted
an image again, but it's still wrong. It previews fine in the
browser though.
Any ideas!?

Inserting FLASH into Dreamweaver cs3

I am trying to build a VERY basic website in Dreamweaver. Using their single fixed column, centered,template, i would like to ad 2 flash items, a menu and small movie, in to he top of the column. (Both flash items are larger than the column with, if that matters,i was going to resizxe them nce i got this part of the cose correct)
For some reason the flash movie shows in my Dreamweaver preview, but not when i load it live online @ www.srg-buffalo.com.
The address i have used for the flash movie is: http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
The website is hosted at www.swq-buffalo.com, if you want to check out the source code.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong, i thought it was pretty simple, there is no flash block via my go daddy host.
How i inserted it via dreamweaver cs3:
Insert> Media> Flash.
URL= http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Thank you,
That rung a bell.
I uploaded both saved .SWF documents to the Scripts directory.
There was also a Scripts dirrectory saved with index.html, in this directory was the AC_RunActiveContent.js file,any thoughts on that?
i uploaded it to scripts,along witht he others, and the space dedicatd to the flash events is there, but they are not showing.

Subject: Inserting FLASH into Dreamweaver cs3
When you insert the SWF, you shouldn't have to actual type anything - it's a browse and select process and will automatically enter the correct path to the SWF. Then you have to upload the page and the SWF file. This next part I think has changed in later versions of DW, but in CS3 I'm pretty sure the process will also create a folder named Scripts. This folder along with it's contents also need to be uploaded.

Inserting flash into HTTP

I have been trying to insert flash file but I keep getting error messages that
Not Found
The requested URL /annimations/Snow.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I firstly publish flash into both swf and http files.
Then, I opened view source of the http file and pasted the code onto the dreamwaever file.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0" width="700" height="500" id="Snow" align="middle">

</object>
In addition, I deleted code that swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) on the http file.
The dreamweaver gave an error message that the code swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) can cause error when downloading the flash.
Finally all http, swf and flash files were uploaded.
But I still got the error message above.
In the past, I managed to upload flash using the method above, although I did not get any message regarding swfobject.registerObject(FlashID).
Could someone help me and point out what went wrong?

Based on the error message the problem has to do with an html file, not an swf file.

Inserting flash into Captivate

I have a flash (swf) file that I want to insert into my
captivate that starts out Invisible (Transparent) it has a hotspot
on it when you roll over that hotspot the body of the flash shows.
Basically I'm trying to have a hide show layer on a specific
screen. Since I can't do hide show, Im using flash. I made a
scenario button when they mouse over that button it activates the
flash and the the scenario appears. The problem is that my flash
file starting 'active' where the scenario shows, when I mouseover
it, it hides and then works how it should.

Hi twindsor
Umm, have you tried rollover captions or rollover images?
These can be totally transparent with a reveal occurring when the
user mouses over the hotspot area.
Just wondering why these wouldn't accomplish what you are
looking for.
Just a thought... Rick

Inserting Flash into Dreamweaver document question

When I insert a Flash swf into my Dreamweaver document, the flash file will be displayed in the same dimensions as it is on the flash file on every computer correct? So for example, if I insert a swf file that is 550 x 400 into my Dreamweaver, whether it is displayed on a computer with a 2000x1220 screen, or a 1270x800 screen, the swf file will aways be 550 x 400 (so on the 2000x1200, the swf will be much smaller). Basically I'm asking how do I make it so the flash swf is stretched to fit the entire page no matter what the resolution is?

The short answer is you can't. It's because of how images are handled. FLA native files are vector images. However, the animation/interaction itself when saved as a SWF file becomes rasterized, thus the image gets blurry the larger you make it. So if you make it bigger no matter how you save it, the image will become blurry. What you should do if you need to fill the background is create a repeating background image to put on your page behind the flash that will expand regardless of the resolution. With the repeating background the image is not stretched but rather printed on the screen over and over again making the effect that the image is stretched across the screen.

Inserting Flash into Dreamweaver

I don't know if the solution is in Flash or Dreamweaver, so excuse me if this is the wrong location. I created a Flash Photo Gallery (swf file) and want to add it on my site. It's a fairly large file, so I also created a preloader to let viewers know that it's installing. The problem is my Flash file won't start playing until the whole thing is loaded, therefore you won't see the preloader until the whole thing is ready to play and so you don't need a preloader by that point. I can't get this Flash file any smaller and all I need to know is how you force Dreamweaver to start playing an SWF file before it's fully loaded. What I'm doing now is Insert > Media > SWF and then I find my file. From there, I can't find any option or code to tell it to start playing as it downloads. It's seems like it should be so simple, and I feel like the only person who can't figure this out!

If there is a nextg time, simply post a link to the live page (http://www.myproblempage.com) and people can peek under the hood.
Glad you got it solved.

Insert Flash not working in Presenter 7.0

Hi
I've been using Presenter for a while without any problems. I've recently had to install the Tech Comms Suite (2.0) onto a new laptop though and now I cant insert flash into my slides. All that happens is that the systems moves focus to any of my other windows.
Anyone out there help?
I'm using Office 2003, XP and full Tech Comms Suite v2
Nick.

I think I found a fix.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=153&platform=Windows
Even though the Adobe updater said I had the most up-to-date version of the software it was lieing. I had to go and apply all patches from 7.0.1 onwards. This seems to now allow me to insert flash again.
Thanks for the posts and I hope Adobe sort this app out, not being compatible with Captivate 5 or AS3 is not good.
Regards,
Nick.

Thanks in advance for your help!

When you insert flash into DW pages, DW creates a folder for
you in the root
called Scripts with the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in it.
This JavaScript
enables ActiveX content to run without sending up nag alerts
to visitors.
Since your web page is looking for this file, you need to
upload the Scripts
folder to your server.

Flash beginner... insert SWF into web page and create play button

I am trying to insert and SWF into my webpage. I have 3 problems, 1. I am new to flash and aren't any good at it yet. 2. How do I tell the movie to stop at the end, and insert a "play again" button? 3. What do I need to do to insert that into my webpage.
I realize these aren't yes or no answers, so I even appreciate input on the best way to learn Flash for myself.

2. It can depend, but snce you are probably using the timeline, most likely you just need to put a stop(); command in the last frame to have it stop at the end.
To get it to play again, your button's function code will need to include something like: gotoAndPlay(1);
How the button code gets done depends on which version of Actionscript your file is using.
3. When you publish your swf file, also have Flash publish an html file (you set this up in the Publish Settings). You can then take that html file and copy the embedding code it contains into your web page html file. You may have to include a javascript file as well to make it work, and you can tell that by looking in the head code of the html file Flash created... that head code also needs to go into your web page html file and the javascript file needs to be placed according to how your html code targets it.
You might do best just to get the html page Flash creates working for you first. It might make figuring out how to move it into your web page easier.
My opinion: the best way to learn Flash for yourself is to just dig in and keep at it. You will lose hair and sleep and your mind as you go, but eventually you either get used to that and/or you overcome it.

How do I insert Fireworks Slideshow (non flash) into Dreamweaver?

I have been trying to import a slideshow from flash that I created from the built in template. I used the player that does not require a flash plug in and I cannot figure out how to insert it into my webpage in Dreamweaver. When I post the code directly it says that I have to enable java script? I am new to dreamweaver/fireworks and coding. I know that it should be simple, but I have not been able to figure it out. Thank you for any help you can offer!

I don't use that function, but here's a list of articles that may prove useful:
http://community.adobe.com/help/search.html?q=creating+a+slideshow+in+dreamweaver&lbl=drea mweaver_product_adobelr&self=1&hl=en_US&lr=en_US&area=0
You could also look at using jquery, very simple to use and help docs come with most of the apps.

Need help inserting flash movie into article...

I inserted video into flash movie. I loaded the .swf & .fla files onto a server and went into the properties in the flash movie and pointed to the server to pull the .fla file & the movie controls .swf file. I can preview the movie in flash with no problem.
I am wanting to use the object code that was created as part of the .html file that was generated by flash and insert this into an article to display the video. I path the .swf file in the object code to point to where it resides on the server but the video will not play using just the object code. Is there a way to do this using just a object or embed code without the need for scripts?
(I am using CS4 version)

If the swf file does not reside in the same folder as the html page that loads it, then if the video is dynamically loaded into the Flash file, chances are the targeting in the swf needs to be adjusted. If the swf files just targets the video by its filename alone, try putting the video file in the same folder as the html file and see if it gets loaded.
