Interactive document exported as swf navigation problems

I created an interactive document, exported as a swf file. Each page has an animation build, text fade in, images slide in etc. When I navigate to the next page, it displays the completed build, reloads and plays the animated build. When I navigate to the next page it does the same thing again. I want to be able to navigate to a page and view the animation from the beginning not see the completed animation first. Any ideas what could be the problem?

It´s a bug. Start your animation from outside of the page area or if you have to start it from some visible place, create a mask that covers your animation´s starting point. Then use a timing panel to start your animation by fading the mask away, then proceed to the actual animation. If you have white background in your page, mask can be a simple white rectangle.

  • Exporting to swf background problem

    Hi all,
    I've created an animation which has a black background (created a black solid), and then added new images on top of it.
    The new images all had black backgrounds along with the actual object so using colourkey I removed the black of each images background so that the shape in the image only shows. (hope this all makes sense so far!)
    now when i came to export the file to swf, i played it on a webpage and the black background mage does not show, its transparent, and the black background of each image which i removed with the colour key does show up!!
    arghhhh please can someone help me asap!!!???
    Thanks

    First, why are you exporting as SWF from After Effects? That is only useful if you need to preserve vectors, and there are very few things that are preserved as vectors when exporting to SWF from After Effects. If you need a SWF animation, it's almost always better to create it in Flash. If you want to export your animations from After Effects to play in Flash, it's almost always best to render and export to F4V or FLV. See this page for information about alternatives for creating material from After Effects for Flash or Flash Player: "Rendering and exporting for Flash Professional or Flash Player".
    Very often, when someone complains of something not appearing in a SWF file exported from After Effects, it's because they selected Ignore for the Unsupported Features setting. See "Render and export a composition as a SWF file".

    Here is the problem description: - Created web services based off a universe using Qaaws - Created Xcelsius Model to consume above web services. - Export to PDF works fine. Web services fetch the right data and model is interactive. - Export to SWF / HTML produces 'Error # 2048' Please let me know if anyone has encountered this earlier. This seems to be an issue on the Flash side and not Xcelsius? Any methods to troubleshoot? Thanks!

    The error messages shown from a running swf are from the Adobe Flash player.
    You can find them here. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/runtimeErrors.html
    Your problem seems to be a flash security issue.
    SWFs running locally (directly from a useru2019s computer) have additional
    restrictions imposed on them since version 8 of the Flash Player.
    Xcelsius 2008 uses version 9.  Also
    get more info at
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security.html The most common solution for 2048 is below.Locally
      stored SWF files that contain components that call content (e.g. images, XML
      data, a child SWF) stored on the same local drive will receive an error,
      unless the local drive has been listed as a trusted location in the Flash
      Player security settings.
        This may also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as
      PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
      Set
      Flash Player Security Settings to allow the local drive to be trusted. Also
      see the Xcelsius 2008 Installer Release Note on Adobe Flash Player
      Security.
        To enable trust:
        1.)    Go to

        2.)    Select u201CAlways Allowu201D

      these locations:u201D drop down, select u201CAdd locationu2026u201D
        4.)    Browse for the location in

  • Exporting to SWF - interactive indesign documents

    Hi guys,
    Ok so I have been playing around again with the idea of producing some interactive wire frames using indesign and exporting to swf. I have a global nav at the top that is working just fine. I also have some links futher down the page, and that's where the problem is.
    Let's say I have a link called 'Map' half way down the page. It's a long page around 4000 px. So let's say the 'Map' link 2000 px down the page. When I click on the link it takes be to the map page, but postions me at 2000 pixles down the page. Not at the top of the page where I want to be.
    I have had a play around with the Zoom drop down but I am not having any success.
    I don't want to export to pdf as I want to be able to set target pages for the links with in indesign, and not have to mess around in acrobat after (potentialy This document will have a tonne of pages).
    Anyone got any ideas (please)
    Dan

  • Interactive documents in InDesign - problems with .swf and previews

    I have just been experimenting with InDesign new interactive docs features exporting to .swf.
    The first doc comtaine a few simple animations and exported to .swf. Lovely! All performing as advertised.
    The next document I make, again with just a couple of simple animations, fails. I am unable to view a preview of the animation and I get an error warning triangle at the bottom of the preview palette (without explanation). I am unable to export to .swf.
    And when I go back and open up my first document I am unable to preview that either.
    Does anyone know what's going on here?

    Hi quizzling,
    Have you tried resetting InDesign preferences?
    Launch InDesign and as you launch it on the keyboard hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) or Shift+Option+Command+Control (Mac) and wait for the delete prefs dialog to appear.
    Also try isolating the preview issue by selecting individual interactive objects and setting the preview mode to 'selection' only, so that you can check if the issue is related to a particular object on the page.
    hope this helps,

    Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library.  How is the flash drive formatted?  If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
    If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Exporting interactive document to PDF

    Hi, I just exported my interactive document (CS5) to PDF (interactive) and ticked include all buttons and media. When the PDF opened no behaviours worked and the PDF was much bigger in pixels then it was made in Indesign. any help appreciated. thanks.

    Bob is correct. That's the way the iBooks app displays EPUB files. PDF files are not displayed that way in iBooks or any PDF reader.

  • Exporting SWF length problem

    I'm using after effects cs6 and I need so bad to export an swf file ,whenever I export it I get a different length which is about 3 seconds while the original comp is 10 seconds. Help please

    You are not giving us much to go on. Try checking your work area VS the comp length. Try checking the frame rates. I don't know anything about your project at all so these suggestions might not do any good.

  • Print, Export and Page Navigation Buttons in the Report

    When I view a report through CR4E, the generated report has 3 buttons namely Print, Export and Page Navigation buttons. But when I click on either of the buttons I get a 'null pointer exception'. This is a critical error as I am unable to navigate past the first page. Do I have to add code to these buttons? If not, why am I getting an error? Kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

    <p>Looking at your code it appears that you are storing the ReportSource in session prior to passing in the ResultSet. This will create a problem when a postback is made on  the viewer page (which all of the viewer actions do). If you look at the sample code which is generated when you use the JSP Page Wizard you will notice that the ResultSet is passed to the ReportClientDocument object prior to it being stored in session. Then, when the page is called again this object is retrieved and the ReportSource is used by the viewer. You can quickly run the test using one of our sample reports to see what I am talking about. The code below was generated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt and did not experience any problems doing any of the viewer actions.</p><%@page import="com.businessobjects.samples.JRCHelperSample,<br />com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer,<br />com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource,<br />java.sql.Connection,<br />java.sql.DriverManager,<br />java.sql.ResultSet,<br />java.sql.SQLException,<br />java.sql.Statement"%><%<br /><br /><br />    try {<br /><br />        String reportName = "Sample Reports/Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt";<br />        ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName);<br /><br />        if (clientDoc == null) {<br /><br />            clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();<br />            <br />            // Open report<br />            clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);<br /><br />  <br />            {<br />                // **** POPULATE MAIN REPORT ****<br />                {<br />                     // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet<br />                    String connectStr = "jdbc:derby:classpath:/Xtreme";<br />                    String driverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver";<br />                    String userName = "dbuser";        // TODO: Fill in database user<br />                    String password = "dbpassword";    // TODO: Fill in valid password<br /><br />                    String query = "SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = &#39;Australia&#39;";<br /><br />                    <br />                    String tableAlias = "FINANCIALS";        // TODO: Change to correct table alias<br /><br />                     <br />                    JRCHelperSample.passResultSet(clientDoc, fetchResultSet(driverName, connectStr, userName, password, query),<br />                        tableAlias, "");<br />                }<br /><br /><br />            }<br />        <br />            // Store the report document in session<br />            session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc);<br /><br />        }<br /><br /><br />            {<br />                // Create the CrystalReportViewer object<br />                CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();<br /><br />                //    set the reportsource property of the viewer<br />                IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource();                <br />                crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);<br /><br />                // set viewer attributes<br />                crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true);<br />                crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true);<br /><br />                // Process the report<br />                crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null); <br /><br />            }<br />            <br /><br />    } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {<br />        out.println(e);<br />    } <br />    <br />%><%!<br />// Simple utility function for obtaining result sets that will be pushed into the report.  <br />// This is just standard querying of a Java result set and does NOT involve any <br />// Crystal JRC SDK functions. <br /><br />    private static ResultSet fetchResultSet(String driverName,<br />            String connectStr, String userName, String password, String query) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {<br /><br />        //Load JDBC driver for the database that will be queried    <br />        Class.forName(driverName);<br /><br />        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectStr, userName, password);<br />        Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);<br /><br />        //Execute query and return result sets<br />        return statement.executeQuery(query);<br /><br />}%><p>Try using the code generated from the wizard to see if it works for you as well. </p><p>Regards,<br />Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager) </p>

    I created an interactive document and will export as a swf.  I would like to create a button in the interactive document to launch and external "exe." file. Is this possible.

    You will need to create custom web part editor. Look at the following example. It also have added button and its events. I am sure you can use this sample as base and code your logic.

  • Xcelsius 2008 FP2 won't export to swf

    Hello,
    I can not get Xcelsius to preview or export to swf.  The progress bar labelled "Generating swft" displays for approximately 3-5 minutes until Xcelsius.exe finally crashes and the app closes.  I'm running Xcelsius 2008 SP1 with FP2, Live Office XI R2 and Flash 10 (lastest version).  I've also looked at the Flash security as described in other forum posts and that does not appear to be the issue.
    The .xlf I'm working with was successfully completed and published to Crystalreports.com and is working fine.  The problems began when two additional Live Office connections were added to allow for some additional data points in the next release of the dashboard.  The data model now contains a few hundred more rows and a few hundred forumlas causing the Excel file to increase to just under 1MB.  The total number of rows of data return in all Live Office connections combine are just over 1,000 rows.  The max # rows setting in Xcelsius is set to 2,000.  The formula cells added to the data model are fairly simple formulas that were successfully used in the data model previously (ISERROR, INDEX, MATCH).
    On occasion, Xcelsius will give the message box "Your range has been reduced to the maximum rows allowed" before crashing. 
    Acting on this message I have removed the new Live Office connections, but the message/crashing continues.  I have now scaled back the # of Live Office connections and # of formula cells way back to a very small number.  the data model is now very small and quickly imports into Xcelsius yet the same message/crashing continues.  I have verified that the data model currently in Xcelsius is the most recent, very small version of the data model, but Xcelsius still behaves like the large 1MB data model is present. 
    I don't know if this is even a # rows/data model size issue or a config/bug issue.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated. 
    I've read the PDF on FP3, but don't see this scenario listed.  Might FP3 help?  I need to be FP3 is compatible with publishing swf files to Crystalreports.com which is a BOE XI R2 platform.

    thanks for the quick advice.  so we can scale back the data to within 512 rows by splitting this into 2 dashboards.  Not ideal, but shouldl be acceptable. 
    The data is already pre-aggregated.  The data sources for this data model are crystal reports that are published in Crystalreports.com and refreshed nightly against a 3rd party API.  Virtually all of the formulas required in Excel are used to line up rows of data that are being pulled in from 2 seperate live office queries.  All of the required data points could not be included in a single crystal report so 2 are needed and the rows matched up in Excel using an INDEX(MATCH) formula.  We are not using any unsupported functions or VLOOKUP per the advice of an Xcelsius best practice document I located in this forum.  I'm open to any suggestions on better techniques to align related rows of data from two seperate ranges in Excel so they essentially appear as though they came from a single data source.
    I am starting to lean toward the # of formulas in the data model as being the issue and have added fitlers to the live office query to cut the # of rows to only 20% of what was originally being retrieved.  The # of formulas were also reduced by the same percentage.  However, when trying to preview or export to swf, Xcelsius still gives the same message that the range was reduced to the max allowed and then crashes.  It's as if Xcelsius is still seeing the old data model.  Perhaps something is being cached that isn't clearing out?  Even a full remove and re-install of Xcelsius SP1, Live Office and FP2 has had no affect.  Maybe we need to build a new .xlf from scratch?
    thanks

  • Exporting to SWF: embed SWFs on pages?

    Hi there
    I've been experimenting with the export to SWF option in ID CS4. I was hoping I'd be able to place individual SWFs on each page of my ID document and then export the whole document as a sinlge SWF, giving me a nicely interactive publication. The SWFs that I've placed on the pages don't play in the final document, though.
    Any ideas about fixing this?
    I've looked at all the Movie Options for the SWFs that I've placed and the options available at export and nothing seems to have helped.
    I'd appreciate any thoughts.

    I was hoping to take advantage of InDesign's page transitions to present the SWFs, but it looks like I may have to work out how to do it all in Flash instead.
    I do a lot of Flash work but have only briefly experimented with the ID exporter, so there could be something I'm missing. I'm guessing to get what you are after to work will be difficult depending on your ActionScript skills. Unfortunately when you export an fla, the fla does not include the transition code—your pages get placed sequentially on the timeline with no transitions. There is the bitmap representation of the swf and it wouldn't take much to load your swfs into position, but you'll have to build your own page flip transitions.

  • Interactive PDF not supporting .swf

    We are currently producing an digital publication in InDesign CS5 that we would like to export as an interactive PDF.  The only way to get this to work, was to export as a Flash .swf, then place that into a new Indesign document, then export THAT as an interactive PDF.  Everything works great that way, EXCEPT any objects in the original document that are .swf, do not show up in the final PDF.  Is there a work around on this? Basically, a .swf-in a-swf works, swf to PDF works, BUT swf-in a-swf-to-PDF Doesn't work!

    There are about fifty buttons that hide/show the various swf objects.  So all the buttons would have top be relinked somehow. The swf is a scrolling text window, so we could potentially get rid of it, if we figured out how to do a scrolling text window within InDesign?

  • Export as SWF

    Hi I am having an issue with exporting CS5 .indd as SWF.
    I want to create an e-book with placed SWF Media that is exported as SWF and includes Page Curl.
    I have set the placed SWF media to play on page load, poster is standard, and export settings, Interactivity and Media include all.
    Problem is the placed SWF does not play on page load, you can see an object that when clicked then plays the placed SWF.
    I need this to play on page load, really appreciate some help!! Many Thanks Paul

    Hi, I know why! I forgot to mention that I also had a sound object mp3 added to the page. If I remove this the SWF plays and exports correctly.
    Does this mean you can only have one media object on a page? Be Good to know, thanks Paul
