[mac] hot to launch PDFs/AVIs from a mac player?

Hi all,
I need to create a movie with Flash that runs on Macintosh.
I can do this easily with Windows, using lots of solution
provided by
developers around the word.
I expecially use a little exe file that I can configure to
run any
kind of file (PDF, AVI, DOC) from inside a flash movie just
calling
the installed app that will then open the required file.
Doing this I can let the user open a PDF in acrobat (if
installed)
directly from the flash movie.
But I don't know how to do this on a mac system (OSX).
can you help me?
TIA
tony

I have followed your advice, but the problem persists. 
I trashed the application, the original user account preference files, the hard drive Library application support files for Photoshop Elements, and everything else Spotlight could find with Photoshop or PS2 in its name.  I created a new user account, installed the application from the CD, and repaired Permissions.  Launching the application brought up the splash screen, loaded all of the paintbrushes etc., then "The application Photoshop Elements quit unexpectedly".  The Report file begins with the following information:
     Command: Photoshop Elements 2.0
     Path:    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2/Photoshop Elements 2.0/Contents/MacOS/Photoshop Elements 2.0
     Parent:  WindowServer [14119]
     Version: 2.0 (2.0)
     PID:    14222
     Thread: 0
     Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
     Codes:      KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000
and goes on to list more details in Unix-speak.
Do you have any other ideas to try?

  • Pdf's from mac to playbook, reader won't open?

    I saved pdf files from mac to documents folder on playbook , I launch acrobat reader, I see pdf files but when i try to open, an error message appears that says "file path not valid".  Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    go into the option ( the gear at the top right ), then in security/applications and change the Adobe reader permission to ALLOWED, and it should fix your problem

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

    Hello:
    I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
    I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
    I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
    I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
    However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
    Many thanks.

  • How can I upload .pdf file from Mac to iPhone or is there an app for that?

    How can I upload a .pdf file from my mac to iPhone 3G?
    Or is there an app that will allow me to that?
    Thanks in advance
    Zia

    The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.

    How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

    Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
    In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
    You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC

    Hello,
    Although not as simple as it should be you can use a program like "Grab" to take a screenshot of the frame in the preview window in iMovie.

  • Error opening pdf's from PC stored on Mac

    I have been experiencing an error when attempting to open pdf's stored in the public folder on our Mac.
    The message reads:
    "There was an error opening this document. The file is already open or in use by another application."
    It doesn't matter which PC we use to access the pdf's from and happens regardless of which version of Acrobat is being used, the same error occurs.
    The public folder on the Mac has no restrictions.
    Mac 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel
    OS 10.9.4
    Adobe Creative Suite 2014
    *Also discovered none of the InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator files can opened from PC's can be opened while they are stored on the Mac either.
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Thanks for responding. We do not work using a Windows domain.
    I can open .txt and Microsoft Publisher files, but I get errors on nearly everything else including any Adobe product files and Word files.
    We used to keep files both the PC and Mac had to access on an external network drive, but exporting pdf's from the Mac (as well as opening and saving) took too long. So we moved everything to the Mac. If I have to work on a file I have to drag it to the PC desktop. We can't save directly to the Mac either. Files have to be copied onto the Mac.

  • Transferring a pdf file from my Mac to my iPad

    I ws told that there is A WAY OF TRANSFERRING A PDF DOCUMENT FROM MY MAC TO MY IPAD. DFoes anyone know how to do this?

    I still make use of iTunes/iBooks too.
    iTunes is especially important if I'm adding lots of pdfs (or just larger pdf files), that'd take too long to upload/download.
    But, its always nice to have another means of entry that isn't confined to iTunes, or starting web servers from inside apps, etc etc. 
    Plus, it's not just for pdfs... AND you can get at your files from literally anywhere (Mac's, PC's, iDevices, Android, Dropbox website, etc.) It really is a fantastic service.
    BTW, choosing "Open in iBooks" will move the pdf into the "PDFs" Collection in iBooks.  That might help you find your previous errant pdfs.

  • How do i save PDFs directly from web browser to iBooks - on a MAC

    Is it possible to save PDFs directly from a web browser (any web browser) to iBooks?
    it is easy to view and 'open in' iBooks from an iPad/iPhone, but don't see this option on the MAC.
    i have resorted to saving the file and emailing it.  Once viewed on the 'i-device' it can be easily saved.
    iBooks is installed on my MAC and synced, so i can view the library.
    I am just missing this direct step - MAC to iBooks
    Please help,
    Thanks - Rob

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • Can't download pdf bills from utility companies - mac

    I am on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.  Whether I use Firefox (latest version 18.0) or Safari (version 5.1.7), I am unable to download my bills in pdf formats from Centerpoint.com and Centurylink.com   -  I have contacted customer service at both sites and they have said they don't know why it's happening, and I should contact Adobe.  So I am here.
    When I get to the sections on these pages where I can view my bill, and subsequently "view as pdf" or "download pdf" - here's what happens.  In firefox, I get a popup that says: Adobe Reader is required to view this file. When I click the same fields in Safari, a blank (white) window opens up and just sits there.
    I have installed on my computer Adobe Reader 11.0.01
    I would really apprecaite any help with this at all.  The amount of time that has been invested (to no avail) in trying to simply download my utility bills in pdf format has been ridiculous.
    Thanks!

    Yes - I did and it works perfectly.  Again, the webpages I am attemtping to download my bill's in .pdf form from are Centerpointenergy.com and Centurylink.com.
    On centerpoinenergy.com, the main page has a "view/print bill" tab.  When I click on that, a new window opens where I can view my bill.  In the upper left is a tab that says, "view pdf."  When I click on that, a new window opens up and here's the problem - a notice appears saying, "Adobe Reader is required to view this file http://get.adobe.com"
    I have adobe reader installed, but thier page is not recognizing it - or something.  I've asked them about this and they told me to contact adobe.
    On Centurylink.com, I click "view my full bill." Then on the next page I click, "print or save this bill."  The file that appears is a .action file as I described above. 
    Everyone's help and attention here is greatly appreciated.

  • Launch an attachment from SWF embedded in PDF

    Goal: To launch a PDF attachment from the embedded SWF (in PDF).
    Scenario: I have created a PDF with a SWF embedded in it and I have few attachments also in the same PDF. Now based on some user input I want to open one of the attachment in the PDF.
    Question: How do I open an attachment (in PDF) from a SWF embedded in the same PDF.
    Any help will be a big help :).
    Cheers !!

    First, you can only do this with Acrobat 9. Older methods for embedding SWF's didn't allow for this level of communication between the SWF and the PDF.
    Second, to do it, you would add some ActionScript to your SWF that would use the hostContainer methodology to connect to the PDF and then use the appropriate JS methods.

  • Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

    Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.
