Mp3 disappears when swf file deployed online

I made a flash website, and I wanted to have a song playing on application start. It worked when I exported locally, but when I uploaded it into a host (Deviantart.com) the audio was gone.
I tried making a button and direct-linking to an mp3, but that always resulted in a new page opening up.
I even converted the mp3 into an flv and made a play/pause button, but the problem still occurred.
Is there a way to add the song?

Have to ask the simple question first, did you upload the file? Is the file still there, or did the web host remove it? If you have Firebug installed in Firebox, or use some other web debug tool, you can see if there is a file path error.
Hope this might solve it,
Chris

How to disable F1 to F12 keys in Web Browser when SWF file is in focus

Hi all,
Im running / loading a swf file in IE. I want to disable the
function keys ( F1- F12 keys) in IE as I have defined special
functions for these keys in my swf / flash file.Im using a
javascript code to do this and the javascript code is working
correctly.But the problem starts when the swf file is in focus,
when swf file is in focus and if I press the F3 key the search of
IE opens, but I have defined a special function in my swf file for
this key, here the IE is overriding and it's taking the precedence
in the event handling this is what I want to disable.So that I can
catch the event in SWF file or get the Key code and run the my
function defined for the key.
Thanks.

When testing my applets on a Linux Web site Im finding that I have to totally exit the browser, then open up a new browser session to see the updates on my applets. Yes. Applets can be horrible for caching. I am surprised that exiting and restarting the browser works. I usually clear the cache in the Java Console.
..The refresh button on the browser wont show the new version of the jar file program. I find this consistent with Firefox, MS Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome.
Is there some type of browser option that will allow the next jar version to be run without having to exit out of the browser to see it?
No, but if the Java Console is open, it is pretty easy to force a refresh of the classes.
As an aside, for a more general solution for your end users, look to launch the app. using [Java Web Start|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp] . Updates are reliable and automatic.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this.No worries (in advance).
Note that my reply would have been sooner, except that I felt compelled to get that matter of the link in your post dealt with, before commenting.

ExternalInterface not working when swf file is embed inside a dynamically cloned DIV element.

ExternalInterface not working when swf file is embed inside a dynamically cloned DIV element.
It seems that flash movie is identifed as 'undefined' inside document.
//a statically placed div
var staticdiv=document.getElementById('PropDiv');
//dynamically placed div with object tag
var dynDiv =staticdiv.cloneNode( true );
var xD=50;
var yD=50;
if(dynDiv)
dynDiv.style.display = "block";
dynDiv.innerHTML="<object classid=" + "\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\"" + "codebase=" +
"\"http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0\"" + "width=" + xD + "height=" + yD +

                "</object>";
   dynDiv.style.top=50;
   dynDiv.style.left=100;
document.body.appendChild(dynDiv);
In above situation communication is not establised when a funtion which is retruning boolean is called from flash using
ExternalInterfcae.call.The return value of this function is getting as false inside flash.But the value is true in javascript.
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
   return window[movieName];
} else {
   return document[movieName];
window["external"] is returning as 'undefined'.
Please give a solution to solve this.

Note that you have different file names for the object (images/banner.swf) and the embed (images/banner1.swf)
You also placed the embed in the middle of a param tag and nested all param tags.
Because you didn't include a MIME type and the object doesn't have a classid for an ActiveX control for IE, I'm not sure what Firefox will be using.<br />
The object doesn't have a data attribute to specify the file.<br />
A separate embed is only needed when you specify a classid in the object.
<pre><nowiki><div class="bannercontainer">
<object width="940" height="445" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/banner.swf" >
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="images/banner.swf" />
</object>
</div></nowiki></pre>

When swf file ends, cut to main page

When swf file without navigation,that has been loaded into
the main timeline, finishes, I want to quickly and automatically
crossfade back to main home page with its navigation. (action
script 2 CS3.) Thank you.

Try including source files instead of SWC's where possible
(the Framework, Cairngorm, etc.) - the compiler will only include
what is needed. Also consider using modules if there are parts of
the application that may be logically broken out.

Calling method from SWF file wtih javascript, when swf file is not loaded in any browser

Hi There,
I have a question regarding flex and javascript integration:
1. We have created certain components and bundle them in swf. these swf file uses webservice to connect to backend code written in java.
2. We have deployed swf file and backend on the same tomcat server.
3. Backend server send some datapoint to UI and plot graph and displyaed to user.
4. Now if user generate graph from datapoint and want to export it, we are tranferring image of that graph from UI to backend. No issues in this process.
5. Now the question is. let say user has not open any swf file in browser and backend scheduling job want to generate the graph. How we will connect to swf file.
6. Is ther any way we can connect or call method of swf from java/jsp/html/javascript code in this scenario without loading swf file in browser??
Please help me!!!
Thanks
Sonu Kumar

Both test sites work just fine for me.
The "Update plugin" message is exactly what would be displayed if no .swfobject file at all was found... so it may not be the "version11" thing but rather, perhaps something else is messed up with the .swfobject file.
File can be found in both folders:
http://www.pureimaginationcakes.com/test/Scripts/swfobject_modified.js
http://www.pureimaginationcakes.com/Scripts/swfobject_modified.js
and file does download when downloading the html page (just check the cache).... but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working.... Hummmmm????

Footer div not aligning in Dreamweaver when swf file added...

Hi, here's a good one!
I have a template that has a div (#footer) as an uneditable area. When I add an swf file to a div above it (#flash), the #footer div displaces in Dreamweaver, but looks OK in any browsers that I preview it in.
Here's a link.... It's the DESIGN page that's the issue and I'm guessing that any other pages based on this template may generate the same problem.
http://www.davidcoshdesign.com/nea
Any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation!

Add clear: both; to the ccs selector below (as shown)
#footer {
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 9px;
    color: #FFF;
    height: 45px;
    width: 950px;
    left: 50px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    padding-left: 0px;
    text-decoration: none;
    top: -50px;
    position: relative;
    float: left;
    margin: 0px;
   clear: both;

Signatures disappear when sending file attachment in iPad Mail

Whenever I send an attachment from GoodReader or Pages the file appears at the bottom of the message and my default signature disappears. How can I send files with a signature?

Hi,
Attachment Content is not Mandatory to enter unless you wish to override the Attachment Property.
Basically we use this content along with Encoded Image Property like chart, spc and image loader action block.
If you are loading file from system using Proper path in Attachment Section then no need to use Attachment Content section.
Ensure that you have set the Attachment Content Type to "application/pdf" to send pdf files and a valid File path in Attachment section.
Hope this helps!!

Adarsh

Letters disappear when reducing file size of PDF.

I have a multi-page PDF file that contains bitmap images and vector text. It was originally created in InDesign and exported to PDF. When I exported the PDF at 300 dpi, everything rendered beautifully. However, when I reduced the image quality through the PDF optimizer (set all images to 80 dpi at high quality), random letters disappered from my text. Weird, since these are vectors and should not be affected by lowered dpi settings anyway.
The gaps are there where the letters should be, and I can even use my text cursor to copy and paste those missing letters into a text file, for example. So basically, all the data is still there, the letters just aren't showing up. This is not resolved by zooming in, and most unfortunately, the letters also do not show up when the document is printed. I have all my fonts embedded. Could this be due to the fact that I am using a lightweight font? (Verlag Extra Light). The letters that go missing seem to be completely at random. I have Acrobat Professional 8.

Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, they all say embedded subset. I will try to replace the fonts just to see what happens, though Verlag is pretty central to the design of this project. I can't see it being a quality issue since it's a high-end font from Hoefler & Frere Jones (not to mention specially purchased for the project!)
I will note that I was able to make some progress by using the Advanced Editing -> Touch Up Text tool to manually retype the missing letters. I did get them to show up that way. Unfortunately this is very time consuming and tends to mess up the text formatting. Still curious what causes this.

Save as "web page, complete" .html file disappears when overwriting file with same name

On Mac and PC using various versions of FireFox (including 29.0.1 on Win 7) the following occurs:
"Save Page As" a page with several iFrames in the content. I use "Web page, complete" and name the file.
Close FireFox. The .html file and accompanying folder are saved correctly. Then I open the file in FireFox and make some changes to fields in a form. Then "Save Page As" again and use the same name. It prompts to overwrite the existing file and I click Yes.
Three out of four times the file is no longer there. The folder remains but the .html file is gone. Not in the trash or hidden, just gone.
I know this sounds crazy but I have tested it on about 20 computers (both mac and various windows versions), all with different FF versions and different antivirus. The above scenario happens: always on 1 computer, occasionally (random) on 3, and hasn't been observed yet on the others.
Has anyone encountered this before? Are there any antivirus or malware products that could cause this? Any settings in FF that could? Any thing about this page or frames that could cause it?

I found the solution. Yes, the first time you replace a file it disappears altogether. Just save it again, and it will reappear with the updated date and time code in the directory you chose to save it in. I only wish this were the problem in Firefox v. 30, but that is worse now.

Audio waveform disappears when opening file to edit but audio still there

I recorded an interview in AA and saved it. Had the waveforms there when recording, but after saving, I came back in the next day and opened the file to edit it down and I could hear it, but couldn't see the waveforms. Had this happen a couple of years ago and the guy that fixed it then didn't show me how to do it and he is no longer with the company. Any help?

This may be a problem with the .pk files associated with the audio recordings. .pk files store a representation of the waveform for fast display in the application and can safely be deleted so that they are re-generated the next time the files are opened in Audition.
To try resolving this, open the folder that contains your .WAV recordings and look for the .pk files for each. It will have a much smaller filesize. Move these files to a different location or to the Recycle Bin (don't delete them just yet in case there's any confusion about which file is which.) Then relaunch Audition and open the recordings. It should regenerate the .pk files and you should be back to normal.

DIV tags disappear when put over swf file background

I am working on a site which has a swf movie as a background
which fills the browser window(SWFobject). When I place DIV tags,
which reference a CSS id and contain swf files as well, over the
top (for absolute positioning, etc.) they disappear when previewed
in a browser . Is there a reason that the swfobject always takes on
top position in the browser? Do I need to change something in the
SWFoject javascript file, in the code or within either the CSS file
or the dreamweaver HTML code? Here is a link to a site that is very
similar to what I am working on.
http://www.pronghornclub.com
Any help would be most appreciated.

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Embedded swf files don't show / slow to load when viewing project online

I'm playing with the trial version of Captivate 3 and doing a
mock up of an e learning module. I have a project which is about 30
slides long and 4 or 5 of those slides have full motion recording
objects on the slide (that were created when I drag and dropped
something during the recording process). When I publish the
project, it creates a separate swf file for each of the motion
recordings...
When I upload my published captivate project to my web server
(the html doc, main swf, and supporting swfs), everything plays
fine until I get to one of the slides that had one of the full
motion recordings on it. When I get to those slides, the captions
keep appearing, the audio keeps playing, etc. but the slide is
blank - the full motion recording doesn't load.
It appears that it just hasn't loaded yet, because if I try
running the whole thing again, then it works fine!
It's like the supporting SWF file hadn't finished loading but
the main swf just kept on going...
This seems like a really big bug to me? I'm pulling my hair
out :(
Is there a way to compile the whole project into 1 SWF file?
Is there a way to embed the SWF files into the main SWF file so it
is taken into account when preloading?
Thanks to anyone who has some advice!! help!
Gaspar

Hi Gaspar,
Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
Good luck,
David
Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
send a feature request again...

Problem with music in swf file when loading site to server

Hello,
I am a newbie to Flash and have an swf file I created for a
website,
http://www.kanzamancleveland.com.
I have a button there that turns the music on/off when the site
loads. I also put some music into the swf file, but instead of
putting it directly in the swf file, I am calling it from the
actionscript code in the swf file. I want it to stream when the
site loads and start loading/playing after the site loads. The code
is embedded in the on/off button. Now this code works when the swf
file is on my local hard-drive, but when I put it on the server
with the rest of the website, it doesn't work. Any ideas?
Here is the code:
import fl.motion.Keyframe;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var _sound:Sound;
var _channel:SoundChannel;
var _playing:Boolean = false;
var _position:int;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("lowsaaloony.mp3");
var buffer:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(5000);
_sound = new Sound( );
_sound.load(request, buffer);
_channel = _sound.play( );
_playing = true;
offbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onPlayPause);
function onPlayPause(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (_playing) {
_position = _channel.position;
_channel.stop( );
} else {
_channel = _sound.play(_position);
_playing = !_playing;
gotoAndPlay(2);
stop();
I put the code together going from various Flash help
websites, and it works when everything is on my local hd, but again
as I mentioned before, when I put it up on the server, the music
doesn't play. I contacted the hosting company and they said that
they do allow streaming music on a website using Flash. Any help on
what I am doing wrong, or what else I need to do would be highly
appreciated. Thank you.
Jay

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.
at KZFlash_fla::Sound_2/KZFlash_fla::frame1()
Hope that helps.

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.
Cheers... Rick

Skin control in swf file created from indesign not showing online

Hi,
I used indesign cs5.5 interactive to create a swf file with embeded video and skin control. When I view the video on my pc the video and skin control works but when I uploaded both the swf file and the skin control file online to my client's server the skin control doesn't show. I suspect it has something to do with the path, is there somewhere I can specify the path to where the skin control is loaded online?
Thanks.

Which file - the .swf or the .exe file?
If the .swf, you need to create a file association to the projector.
