Losing Mouse "hand" over buttons when publish for Web.

Hi,
I'm new to Flash. I'm publishing a web-site and I lose the "Hand" icon for the mouse over buttons after I publish and run the HTML=>Swf files from the Browser. When I "Test the movie" from flash I see the "Hand" over buttons just fine.
Is there a publish setting that I'm missing which allows the hand to remain?
Please help.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi, Had to work yesterday.
At the moment I'm running/testing locally (which may be the problem) from a flash secure directory on my desktop. So no link sorry.
I think I need to look into setting up a test service with Yahoo or something. Any suggestions? I'm not really sure how to upload my completed website (.html and .swf files) to a service. That's a different topic/question. Any help along those lines is greatly appreciated.
Anyway, I'm using safari 5.1.7 on my IMac. and Safari 6.0.3 on my Mac Pro. and Firefox 21.0 (primarily) or Internel Explorer (rarely) on my "windows" laptop. The "Hand" works on all of these (files local to the respective computer) except the IMAC Safari 5.1.7 flash player 12.0 combination, which was my first test environment scenerio.
I'm planning to do two things.
1) Update my IMAC to Safari 6.0.
2) Set up a test area with a service provider. This in itself may resolve the issue for the Safari 5.1.7. At least I'll be testing in a "real world" environment.
So, thank you for your help with this. I think we can call it solved. If my testing on a true server shows the same results then I may shoot out another question. I think it is a nice goal to have our web site creations run on all platforms and browser comibations but is that realistic? If we test on as many combinations of the most recent software releases as we can with reasonable success what more can we do? I'd like to hear you opinion. Feel free to sent me an email.
Would you like me to open a new question/discussion regarding the help finding and uploading files to a service provider?
Thanks again,
Jeff

Alpha property not working on TextField when publish for Reader 9

Hi,
I have a movie that is working fine when I publish for Reader 10, but when I publish for Reader 9, the code that assigns an alpha property to my TextFields stops working. I have a previous movie, which I probably did in CS4, that uses similar code to fade in and out TextFields. It was published for Reader 9 and works fine.Is it possible that something has changed in CS5 (note, I'm not using TLF text boxes, only dynamic TextFields)?
Here's an example of the code I'm using:
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var txtFormat1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat1.font = "Optima";
txtFormat1.color = 0x000000;
txtFormat1.bold = false;
txtFormat1.size = 16;
txtFormat1.leading = 2;
var subtitle:TextField = new TextField();
subtitle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
subtitle.selectable = false;
subtitle.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat1;
var fadeInSubtitle:Tween;
addChild(subtitle);
subtitle.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - subtitle.width / 2;
subtitle.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - subtitle.height / 2;
subtitle.alpha = 0;
subtitle.text = "What is the most important question in";
fadeInSubtitle = new Tween(subtitle,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,3,true);

Thanks.
Just curious: Is there a reason why the alpha on the TextFields worked without embedding fonts when publishing for Flash Player 10? Does it handle text, even when it's not TLF, differently than Flash Player 9?

Grainy text when saved for web

Why do graphics with text and/or images in Fireworks CS5 become more grainy or blury when saved/exported for web use? Compared to results in Photoshop, text, image and graphic rendering when saved for web in Fireworks is lower quality or poor (grainy and blurry). Why?! Should I not use Fireworks and only use Photoshop CS5? Isn't Fireworks designed for creating web graphics? If so, what am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Brian

Yeah, I'd encourage you to use whatever works for your situation.
I should have asked you to include a screenshot of your original for comparison. I do see obvious JPEG artifacting around the letters as well as the images; this graphic has a lot of flat color, which would prompt me to try saving it as a GIF or PNG-8 (or even a PNG) instead of a JPEG.
The cover images do look quite blurry, but I suspect they must look blurry in your original as well. Incidentally, if you saved these graphics as symbols, you could resize them multiple times in your layout without losing any quality—kind of like Smart Objects in Photoshop. (I'm assuming they might have been larger initially?) Also, you could check your Preferences to see what Interpolation method is being used when resizing. This could impact the appearance of the cover images, if they are being resized.
Text rendering is tricky at small sizes. Making a seemingly minor adjustment to the pixel size can have an impact on how the text is rendered at this small of a size, depending on the font. As far as anti-aliasing goes, System Anti-Alias can be a good choice, sometimes; you might also explore the Custom Anti-Alias option. You might also have smoother results if you create the layout at twice the size (or more) initially—a display font will look better when rendered with more pixels—and then output it at half size.
An interesting thing about Photoshop: If you zoom in to the highest setting, you can use the arrow keys to create subtle adjustments to the text rendering, depending on what kind of aliasing you've applied.

Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 crash when Save for Web and Devices (Mac)

Hi baffled with this.
When Saving for Web and Devices in Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2), the application now freezes and has to be force quit.
HOWEVER if I delete the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder all works well until I quit the application, then the freeze will happen again. I had this happen before so under the advice of Adobe I created a new user and all was fine for that user so I transferred everything across... a laborious task.
So my question now is why now?... what has triggered this AGAIN?...
Hope you can help... anyone.
Running:
Mac OS X 10.6.6
Mac Pro tower.
Note:
have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated 15.0.1 - 15.0.2
have deleted all font caches
have deleted everything... that could be related...
HOWEVER have narrowed it down to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file in the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder
Please too note this is not the folder permissions issue, am aware of that and have thoroughly checked all permissions, ran disk utility and disk warrior.
thanks

If you use cocktail I suggest you get rid of it it can cause serious problems if you select the wrong settings, instead download ONYXwhich is free and will not harm your system or corrupt anything by deleting something you actually need.
I hit the wrong setting using cocktail and it locked me out of all of the hard drives installed or connected to my Mac it is very dangerous. And I cannot imagine a reason for a setting that would protect your hard drives from yourself to the point of not recognizing your own password.
I know it cost money and has advanced settings but having the ability to kill your system is crazy.
Also to repair your permissions use the disk utility or ONYX as the permissions can become changed when installing software or if cocktail changes it locking you out of folders etc.

Dynamic text not displaying when publishing for flash 8

This dynamic text works fine when the movie is published for
flash 7, but when i export for the flash 8 player it seems to be
invisible. Is there any obvious reason for this happenning?
thanks
jon

Ok, thanks, looks like you've pointed me in the right
direction. I havent fixed it yet though. Heres where i am at:
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = false;
now i can see my text. of course its using a default font.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "arial14b";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = true;
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.text = "wasssup?";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.setTextFormat = my_fmt;
this isnt working. I have added a font object to the library
and linked it for actionscript using the monkier "arial14b".
however my text is quite invisible. i have checcked, 'export in
first frame' for the font object i even tried it with this
deselected. i have deselected the embed font option on the text
feild itself. that doesnt work either (unless i dont try to set the
text format, so long as i accept a default font, its fine).
so err, help?
confused
jon
ps further to this is have discovered more about this strange
behaviour. i can set the text to a different string, provided i do
not try to embed the font in any way. if i set the font to embed, i
can have the text display with the correct font, until i change the
text. then it dissappears. also i cannot seem to affect properties
like font size by means of my TextFormat object. the textFormat
object also does not seem to affect the font of the text.
in short, when exporting for flash 8, i cannot seem to
successfully embed fonts for dynamic text. the only thigs i have
gotten to work are: static text (or a dynamic text feild with
unchanged text) with an embedded font, or dynamic text with a
default font.

Hi Colette
Are you saying that there should be .hhc, .hhk, .hhp, etc. files for each topic?
Those are project files and you would not see one for each topic. There is one (maybe more, depending on what you are doing) for each project.
One thing you may wish to try is to enable the "Use lowercase file names" option in your SSL recipe.
After you do this, generate and publish again.
Cheers... Rick

Photoshop over-saturating images when saving for web

I've spent most of the day recalibrating my monitor.
I now use a gamma setting of 2.2, and target white point of D65.
My color workspace is sRGB IE661966-2.1.
I'm using Photoshop CS3.
So I've tried converting an image (even though I am already working in the same color workspace) to sRGB IE661966-2.1 and when I do a Save-for-web, Adobe gives me an over-saturated image.
Now, while in Photoshop I move the save-for-web window lower so I can visually compare the image in photoshop to the one presented in the save-for-web dialog, and they are still different.
I am at loss.
I could understand if I went to another computer and viewed the image, or went to another browser and viewed the image, but even in Photoshop, I'm seeing oversaturation.
To compensate, I've been desaturating my images, but this is frustrating, as I feel it should work.
Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
I'm running OS X v. 10.4.11
a dual processor Intel dual-core 2.66GHZ zeon
2 GB RAM
Monitor is a Dell 2407WFPHC

>> I wouldn't want the other apps to assume sRGB for an untagged image, because
That's a fair opinion...[I] would want an option to set an RGB Default profile in ColorSync, though, because the 'high-gamut' monitor I had here whacked out Finder, Preview, iPhoto color, and that setting would 'fix' the problem across the Mac OS.
The last time I saw this ColorSync RGB Default option was in 10.3x
http://www.gballard.net/psd/cswfi/panthercs.jpg
But according to Apple's John Gnaegy, when I asked him WHY that setting wasn't working here:
He said, "The ColorSync panel> Default Profiles tab headline is wrong.
"I certainly understand why you would think (that ColorSync's RGB Default setting is Assigned to iPHOTO documents that do not contain embedded profiles), but that's not what happens. Untagged images are instead represented by the profile of the preferred (Default) display," said John.
It appears some people at Apple understand the issues -- default 1.8 gamma, default monitor RGB, trying to set up ColorSync option to set a Default RGB -- but it also seems like Apple is very slow and stubborn to change...

How to hide the player button when publish a project?

My predecessor producted several swf files using Captivate 3. And I only get the swf files and don't get the *.cptx files.
However, now I need to publish them into a folder format, including the standard.htm, *.htm and *.swf.
So I tried to build a blank project, insert the swf file, say, test.swf , then publish it (click the "publish to the folder" and "export to html"). then I get the new folder test2, including standard.htm, test2.htm and test2.swf.
Now there is a problem, in the test2.htm and test2.swf, has two rows of player buttons,
The upper row of buttons are from the old file, test.swf. This is the real button that work.
The lower row of buttons are from the new file (test2.swf). But these are not what I want.
So I am wondering how I could delete or hide the lowe row of buttons from the new file.
That is to say, the visitor just need one row of player button.
Your reply will be greatly appreciated.

Go to Project > Skin Editor and untick the option for Show Playback Controls.
Then the only buttons will be for the original SWF.

Losing quality when saving for web after using Multiply

I have a normal photograph, with a red layer on top set to Multiply/Darken. When I save it for web, regardless of what pixel size, or what uploader I use the quality is terrible.
Have tried uploading to different services, from difference devices with the same issue, so assume it's a colour profile thing.
Any help appreciated.
Image shows the difference in quality compared to normal.

DPI is pixel size and images are not displayed on screens with the pixels sized as specified in images resolution setting. The images pixels are displayed on displays with pixels the size the display is run with. So web images display on display, display with different sizes and resolution depending on the users display device.
Images saved for web display should be saved with sRGB colors for many image viewers are not color managed and assume web images have sRGB colors.
So you images will display differently on different displays and no matter how you save them colors will vary displays may not be calibrated all displays do not have the same color capabilities.
The best you can do is calibrate your display and save them with sRGB colors jpeg or png files that display well and look good on your calibrated display.
Most desktop displays are 100DPI resolution displays where newer tablets and laptop have high resolution displays 200 to 300DPI. Even new Desktop 4k display have lower resolution. I believe the highest resolution 4K display in production is the Dell 24: display . Its resolution is 185DPI. Out of production is IBM's old 4K display which had a 204DPI resolution.

Photoshop crashes when saving for web and devices

When hitting saving for web and devices, Photoshop starts to render images but before it's done, it crashes. I get an error-popup with no text and the screen where normally the animation is shown is red. Then Windows comes with a crash report and I can only quit Photoshop.
I have an animation of over 150 frames, but just some black and white lines, no color.
I'm using Photoshop CS 5.5 on Win7.
I tried deleting the preferences in AppData/Roaming etc, but no result, still crashes.
My Photoshop is also updated to the latest version.
Help?

When saving for web in cs5, I get slices saved. How can I change this preset?

Since I started using photoshop cs5, every time I save for the web, I get slices saved, what's annoying about this is the fact that instead of getting the images or slices in this case, saved in the folder I select, it'll automatically create an image folder and then I have to go over the folder and rearange all the images again, it's really time consuming.
Is there a way to avoid this, so that when I select the slices I want to save, they'll go directly to the folder I want instead of having an extra images folder created within my folder...
Thank you

In the save for web dialog under output settings>saving files, uncheck
Put images in folder.

Publish for web viewing?

I haven't found enough information about web viewing of
Captivate 3 screencasts.
I don't have a flash server, but I have a CMS capable of
serving individual swf or flv files. But in my output I have three
different swf files (not to mention an html).
For the sake of web viewing/streaming, what are my options?
1)is there a way in Captivate to convert it to a single file?
2)Are there any utilities for coverting to avi/mpeg? So far,
the only thing I've found is
http://www.adshareit.com/howto-swf-to-video.html,
but I don't know what settings to use. I tried its default
settings, and the result was three mpegs, all of them were huge and
none were usable.
3)are there special settings you should set up in Captivate
for web viewing?
4)my cms (which is specialized) has some ability to play
flash media files within a viewer, but am unsure exactly. How would
an embedded flash player on a website be able to view a captivate
video?
From a standpoint of latency and performance, is the best
option to just upload the three files to a web directory and give
the user the URL for the html file?

Hello again Robert
Without seeing your actual output files it's a bit difficult
to say exactly what each file is for. But I can toss out some
generic information.
Often when you record a project in Captivate and publish the
output you will end up with four basic files.
ProjectName.SWF (Contains the bulk of your presentation)
ProjectName_skin.SWF (Contains the Playback Controls and adds
one or more Borders surrounding the main part of your presentation)
standard.js (An externally referenced JavaScript file. This
was was used to prevent seeing the "Click to activate" message that
Microsoft Internet Explorer used to issue when it played Flash
content. But IE has been updated so this message no longer appears.
Even so, the standard.js file is still necessary in order to
properly display your content.)
ProjectName.htm (An HTML file that is used to present the
Flash presentation)
Depending on what and how you recorded, there may be other
files involved too. You could see one or more Full Motion files
among the mix.
Additionally, if you used some of the supplied animations
that ship with Captivate, you could see those as well.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Write permission error when Save for Web & Devices

I'm using PS5.1. When I try to Save for Web & Devices I'm getting write permission errors. I haven't used this application for over a year, but it used to work fine. I'm not sure what changed.
I also used the Mac Disk Utility to Repair Permisions, but that didn't help.
Please help.
Thanks!

The problem could be related to Mavericks permission problems. You can try the Bridge fix:
Open Finder > (go) Computer > Macintosh HD (for me) > Users > Click once on the Home icon (main admin) > Get Info >
click on lock and authorise bottom right > click on cog wheel drop down > click on 'Apply to enclosed items' > OK
