Links from SWF not working

I'm building a site in Dreamweaver and have the navagation in
Flash and placed the swf into Dreamweaver with the rest of the
content. The swf has about 10 links, which all work when I preview
it from Flash. But now that I've added it to the site, only 3 links
work. Any ideas why?

Okay, thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I know
almost nothing about writing code. I know there is a way to detect
if the user has flash or not and if not, tell it to use the
alternate, but I have no idea how to do this. Any chance I could
get the code?
Since I'm a designer and designed the flash version to look
and interact the way I want it to, I still want that to be the one
people see if they can. When I open the html version of the flash
navagation, all the links work. Then when I open the website with
the same swf in it, only 3 links work. Does anyone know what the
problem might be?

Making Links from UL Not Working the way I would Like

Hi,
Just trying to learn more of CSS and am having a problem.
I make a vertical unordered list and used the li tag to make a "box" arond each link (red text/black background/red border)
I then made the text in each box a link using the menu "Modify/make link" option. This works fine.
So next I tried to create a compound rule (li,a:hover) to change the font color to black and the background color to red - basically reversing the colors from the non-hover state. So on hover , while the text changes to black as I want it to the background just changes to red as soon as I select that color in the rule?
Here are some pics to show what I am trying to explain.
NON - HOVER
li,a:hover tag
I'm guessing I am not using the li,a:hover tag properly and am sure someone can set me right.
Also, using the "Modify/Make link menu option will only make the text a link but I would like the whole box area of eah item to be a part of the link - how would you do that? Do I have to make each item an image?
And heres the CSS.

Thanks

li, a = apply CSS rule to any <li> tag and (separately) to any <a> tag
li, a {
color: #F00;
text-decoration: none;
is the same as writing:
li {
color: #F00;
text-decoration: none;
a {
color: #F00;
text-decoration: none;
li a = apply CSS rule to any <a> tag found inside a <li> tag
The second one (space between the li and a) is what you want here.

SWF Not Working...Help Please :(

Hi all,
So I've been having an issue with a SWF not work on a page and this is what I can seem to come up with after hours of messing with Dreamweaver and Flash trying to understand why it won't work. When i test the movie from the working Flash file, it works no problem. Something is going wrong when I export or publish the movie and it no longer works. Is this something that happens?
Your help is much appreciated...this site needs to go up in the next day or so and the SWF was working and then stopped working and I'm honestly not a Flash gal so I really have no business messing with it, but it was a specific request. Thanks!

One thing that might be an issue as far as the web page goes it that the html specifies a file named carousel2.swf which does not appear to exist on the server and is not the same name as the file you are calling the swf in your swf link (*carousel3.swf).
Without knowing what goes on inside carousel3, or carousel 2 for that matter, it's hard to say if it is missing the xml file that it might need. But for either case, are you certain that you have uploaded the xml file that is needed?

After installing firefox 27 "save link as" is not working

after installing firefox 27 "save link as" is not working started a few days ago use to work fine before v27 was installed. please help.

Hello hansram, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

D-Link dub e100 not work in mac 10.10

hi , i just upgraded my macbook pro to mac 10.10 and after upgrade my USB-to-ethernet device (D-link dub e100) not work and in setting says me self assigned ip
please help.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have found that clicking on the photo works on export, but not all of the time.
I tried redefining a keyboard shortcut. That does not work since the "Menu: View/Zoom In" function does not work either.
Strange that it is only a problem with multiple photos open and they appear in tabs. I have tried deselecting "Open new documents as tabs" under preferences. That 'fixes' the problem since the zoom in / out does not work only with multiple tabs open, but it works with multiple windows open. I suspect that this 'fix' will work on the export problem too, since I will be exporting the active window.
So essentially, the 'open new documents as tabs' is so buggy that it should not be used.
Hopefully Adobe will not try to charge me for an upgrade to CS5 in order to fix this problem.

Published SWFs not working from CS3 on Mac?

This one REALLY has me stumped..
I am working on a Mac Dual 2-Gig G5 running OS 10.4.10 and
Flash CS3.
I have a web site for a client posted (
http://www.aronwiesenfeld.com
). This site has been running flawlessly for over a year published
to Version 8 Flash Player AS v2.0. This client asked me to create a
new temporary splash page last night that would announce his new
Art Show and then click on into the main site. This site uses a
Shared Lib, a SharedTrigger, a Core SWF (containing the main site
navigation elements and handles loading of various movies into
levels) and a Splash SWF (that contains the two splash screens and
initial navigation to areas of the site. The problem I THINK I am
having is in the Splash SWF... or is a problem with my LOCAL Mac
installation? When I click one of the 5 Site Nav buttons it is
supposed to tell the main core movie to advance to a new frame (20)
and I target that movie by referring to _level0. This has worked
fine for the past year (on this and other sites). I am attaching an
example of the code used on each of the initial Nav buttons in the
Splash swf .
So here is the mystery...
When I "Test Movie" inside Flash CS3, everything works/looks
"perfect". If I then go to the desktop and find the generated HTML
file and open it in Safari (both version 2 and 3-beta), or Firefox
or Opera, etc., everything looks fine until I click one of the
initial text Nav Buttions. At that point it takes me to the main
site and loads the external SWF into a level as it should
(indicating that the 3rd line of code on the button is execution
and by the fact the the Splash movie disappears, it indicates that
the core movie is indeed moving to frame 20 (_level0) as requested
in the first line of code. However, all of the main site navigation
buttons along the bottom of the main site as well as the background
NEVER APPEAR? Also when I start to move the mouse around the loaded
external movie the site completely crashes and I get a blank screen
- IN ALL BROWSERS whether I am launching the site from my hard
drive or the Internet!! But it works perfect INSIDE Flash CS3.
Now comes the real kicker...
Just for the heck of it after spending 3 hours trying to fix
this on my main G5 tower(publishing to Player version 9, etc.), I
decided to try accessing the site from my old G4 laptop. Ready for
this? The site appears to be working perfectly IN ALL BROWSERS ON
MY G4 also running 10.4.10!!!
So my guess is maybe their is a problem with the Flash Player
Plugin in all my browsers on my G5 or the Flash Plugin has a
problem with OS 10.4.10 only on my G5. BUT, even if I launch this
site directly in Flash Player from the desktop on my G5 it does not
work - so the stand-alone player is having the same issue - yet it
works fine on my G5 INSIDE of Flash CS3.
I thought I had seen it all the last 5 years with Flash, but
this one has be completely stumped!
My client emailed me from California and said the site was
working fine there of his PC. If that is true then I am having a
LOCAL Flash Player problem on my G5 running 10.4.10.
In addition to my question, if anyone can give me feedback as
to whether or not this site is working on your machine/browser/OS,
could you please let me know? You will know if the site is working
if you click on Enter Site, then click on any of the 5 buttons
(except Info) and you see a grey background behind the image and
the lower navigation string appears.
Thanks!

Well after trying everything I could think of I started down
the list again. I re-downloaded the Flash Player 9 r47 Mac
installer and ran the installer again (which I also did last night
with no success).
This time after re-installing the plugin - ALL THE BROWSERS
IMMEDIATELY STARTED WORKING ad the site now comes up fine - so,
apparently I had a bad Flash Player install in my browser!

Images not linking from .swf within Dreamweaver

I am hoping someone can help...it's probably an easy fix.
I had this simialar probelm of my .swf being too large (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3705787#3705787) So I went and linked all of the images.
I am placing the flash catalyst .swf into dreamweaver, adding a simple footer (for ios users that flash doesn't work for) and the uploading to the site.
This is how my folders look:
I have place the full 'deploy to web' folder within the _assets folder and placed the main.swf from this location, however when I go to the site none of the linked images are there - www.coocoocreative.com
Does anyone know where I am going wrong? (I have checked my hosting server and all the folders are there).
Thanks!

Ok...it was really simple and I figured that problem out. I wasn't linking the .swf relative to the site root' (ok ok, I'm still learning, please be patient )
Thanks!

SWF. not working when entering other state

Hi
I have just made a site where theres a main site without animation and a sub site with animation. The problem is that the animation/swf is not starting when i enter the subsite. It starts when theres no main site but when we enter the site from a another main site/sub site the animation the do not start.

This might be a security issue. If I am understanding what you are say is you go to www.mysite.com then go to mysubsite.mysite.com. When you are accessing the Flash Catalyst produced swf at mysubsite.mysite.com this way it does not work. In the Flash Catalyst file, the linked swf is probably referenced as "http://www.mysite.com/mySWF.swf", but to the Flash Player this is a different address from mysubsite.mysite.com.
If you add a crossdomain.xml file to your site to include the top level and sub domains, the issue should be resolved. For more information on the crossdomain.xml file: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14213.html
Good luck

Published .swf not working on website

Hi,
I am new to Catalyst, and just finished my first project.
It worked great when I went to "run project"
I changed the name of Main.html to Index.html (left the main.swf) and copied the "deployed to web folder" to the /public_hml folder in the FTP server.
The problem is that when I go to my site address nothing comes up
I am not sure what I am doing wrong! Anyone can help me please!?!?
Thanks!!!!!!

I don't mean nested SWF is not work in Flash Catalyst(FC). You can still import SWF to FC. But one thing important is. When your nested SWF have related image file outside the SWF file. You also need to copy this image file under the nested SWF directory. (same folder or create a Assets folder or not. It depend on your link inside nested SWF.)
Hope this make this clear.
I also use nested SWF from FP and FC. It work fine for me.

Ringtone link in media not working

When I go into Media then into ringtones and open up my menu I have an option for Download Ring Tone. When I click on the link I get this error.
HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
An unexpected condition was encountered which prevented your request from being fulfilled. This could be cause by a problem with teh gateway, a problem with destination server or a problem with the page itself. Please try loading a different page. Contact your service provider if this problem persists
I then have the option to select ok or go to details. If I go to details it brings me to a page saying
Error Accessing the html page

I have tested that link with 2 8330 and 1 8130. I have been able to get the page to display twice but with no actual reason for it to work. One time I hit refresh and it loaded correctly and another time I hit back accedentally and it loaded to the ringtone page(on the 8130). I bookmarked the page when it did showed properly when I hit the back button. The bookmark will load perfectly everytime. But going through that above link does not work and I have tried it no less then 30 times.
I sent the bookmark to another BB via pin and it was not able to load the page. When I go to copy the page source both from the error and the bookmark that loads this is the link I get.

All 3 phones are on Telus Mobility running 4.3. The curves both have default browser settings on them and can connect to other sites no problem, the pearl had default settings when I got it to work and book marked it and since then I have changed some of the internet settings. I enabled java and switched emulation to blackberry instead of openwave(wap). That did not make any difference to the link in media but bookmark loads fine still. Internet browser is the default for all devices.
Hope this is enough info. I want to know if any other Telus clients have the issue or if any other carriers are having the same problem as well.
Thanks for any help and suggestions

Href links in slideshow not working

hi,
I have created a non-flash slideshow with WOW Slider which I find to be a very good program and is jquery based.
the actual slideshow runs fine on iPad, my PC - and Android devices,
but:
the six slides have links embedded to other websites, that I have set up to run in a new window, and work fine on PC & Andoid
but on the iPad the outbound links do not work - yet an href link will work on the iPad if called from a static image.

I have tried many of them Frank ...
jquery ones like Wowslider, Virtual lightbox, Juicebox, Nivo slider, and css based one's like CSS slider et al.
and believe me when I say that I have found none of them to be totally reliable across all the varied devices.
whilst what I have resorted to is quite basic, it gets the job done - particularly given my age and what I am hoping to achieve with my site.
as a kind of thank you to Michael and yourself, there are links below to two small pages I did ages ago that may give you a bit of a chuckle.
they are not mentioned on my site, and I'm not sure if they work on iPads.

Why do the regular links in template not work on announcement pages?

I am trying to figure out why the regular links (buttons) on top in my template does not work on the announcement pages on my business catalyst website. The links work perfectly fine on the other pages, but when you click on one of the latest news links to the right to read it, it leads you to a page with a url-prefix called announcements, and when you try to get back to one of the other pages by clicking on the buttons at the top for example the register button, it takes you to: http://www.littlefolkies.com/announcements/register instead of http://www.littlefolkies.com/register, and so it gives you a error message: page not found...???
Is there anyone who can help me out? I don't understand why this is happening.
You can try it yourself at www.littlefolkies.com...
I greatly appreciate any guidance!
Thanks so much,
I

Take a look at your classes link.
You can see how you have the / in front and the others do not. This is why.
This tells BC to read from the site root. Without it when your inside sub folders (other levels in your url) then it will link to only within that level without the / at the front.
It is the same reason why you do all your templates and css etc with the / in front which I mentioned to you before if I recall.
You can also change the name /announcements in the url in the settings for it if you want to.

TCS2 - Cross References between linked Frame files not working

Hi,
All the cross-references in my linked in FrameMaker 9 files work when output in PDF, however, when outputting WebHelp from RoboHelp 8, FrameMaker cross references that reference another FrameMaker file (i.e. not Current) do not work. The format is correct, they appear blue and underlined like every other link/cross-reference, but when moused over in the browser, there's no link to click. The HTML created by RoboHelp does not point to a file. For example, here's the HTML for one link not working as shown from within RoboHelp:
<p class="FM_Bulleted"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7.0pt;">   </span>•<span
     style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7.0pt;">   </span><a><span
     class="FM_Link">Create Supported App from
Install</span></a><span class="FM_Bold">.</span>
RoboHelp appears to partially convert the link as <span class="FM_Link"> appears in the HTML but I think there should be more information in the <a> definition, such as in the HTML created for a link that references a topic created from the same FrameMaker file.
<p class="FM_Bulleted"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7.0pt;">   </span>•<span
     style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7.0pt;">   </span><a
     href="#XREF_17096_Creating_an">Creating an App</a></p>
I've ensured all the cross-references in each framemaker file in the book have the same format and are mapped to <$paratext> in the project settings. I've also tried importing the FrameMaker book instead of linking it and the same problem persists.
Any ideas on how to make RoboHelp create the link correctly?   Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jacquie Finney

Most of the major cross reference issues have been resolved in TCS 2 with further improvements in TCS 3.
Please ensure that you have all the patches of TCS 2 installed on your system.
If the issue is still there, there could be an altogether different reason for cross reference not working or the issue might have been fixed in TCS 3.
The reason or workaround can be analysed once the sample files with the issues are provided.
It will be great if you could share a small sample FM document containing the cross reference and target having the issue. If the cross reference is across documents, then a FrameMaker book along with its FM files can be shared in a zip format.
You can mail the documents to me at magrawalATadobeDOTcom
