Multipage PDF with SWF files

I'm creatinging a multipage PDF document that has mulitple swf files embedded in it. For example on Page 1 I'm showing a DataGrid and the user has the option to change the datagrid to a columnchart, with the same type of stuff on page 2. When you go from page 1 to page 2 the swf file on page is basically 'unloaded' and if I print the document while on page 2 I can only get the inital view, the data grid, to show up. Is there a command that basically keeps all the swf files loaded so I'm able to print the columnchart on page 1 if I'm on anothe page? I'm new to flex so I'm probably not explaining this well.
thanks,
Bob

Hi,
I have a similar requirement where I need to show the preview of a document in a popup.
I have a button and I added "af:fileDownloadActionListener" into the button, then I wrote the following code in my bean for the downloadactionlistener:
public void showPreviewDownloadListener(FacesContext facesContext,
java.io.OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException{
DCIteratorBinding agr = getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding("xyz");
Row row = ag.getRowSetIterator().getCurrentRow();
String fileName = (String)row.getAttribute("FileName");
String fileType = (String)row.getAttribute("FileType");
BlobDomain file = (BlobDomain)row.getAttribute("FileData");
try {
InputStream inputStream = file.getBinaryStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((count = inputStream.read(buf)) >= 0) {
outputStream.write(buf, 0, count);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
file.closeInputStream();
docPreviewInlineFrame.setSource(fileName);
//ADFUtils.setEL("#{pageFlowScope.docSource}", "../"+fileName);
ADFUtils.invokePopup(docPreviewPopup,true);
catch(IOException ioex) {
ioex.printStackTrace();
when I'm clicking my button, all it does is open a popup to view/download the while.
My own popup (with a dialog and an internalFram in it) does not get invoked at all.
Also the file that I'm referring is from DB, can anyone also suggest me how to set the source for the inline frame if the file is from DB?
Thanks in advance,
Swapna

Problem Creating PDF with Multiple Files in Pro. 7

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 on a computer with Windows XP.
The problem is that when I try to create a PDF with multiple files everything just suddenly stops. There are 75 files involved and when it gets to around 41 or so (don't know the exact number because I turned away from my computer for just a moment), it just stops. There are no error messages; nothing. Just a blank Acrobat screen.
Last week I had a different problem which was resolved by an uninstall/reinstall and I was able to create the PDF with those exact same 75 files, but after the PDF was created I realised that some changes needed to be made. I dumped the PDF, made the appropriate changes and left it for the weekend. Today I the new problem has arisen.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

I've read many discussions about Acrobat and problems with server files, with the general solution being what you are doing... copy the files to a local hard drive

Using Acrobat to create a PDF from .swf files

I'm trying to beef up a standard powerpoint presentation into something i could have more control over, and was considering Acrobat as it would (i hoped) allow me to import .swf files from Flash. In reading up on just how flexible acrobat is though, it doesn't really seem to have all of the functionality that i want - if anyone could offer feedback on the following, that would be great in terms of clearing up the queries that i have beforehand!
essentially, i want to create a PDF file which will open fulllscreen on any machine with no toolbars, windows, additional content in the window except my PDF content. So i would have a central shape/box, which would be white, on which i have text.
I want this to open centrescreen, fullscreen, with no acrobat reader branding / navigation visible at all. Similar to the way a powerpoint document would open, however - i don't want Adobe Reader to scale my PDF at all.
I've set my canvas in flash to 1024x768, and i would want Reader to display my file at exactly 1024x768 pixels, and not scale the document up to suit different monitors. So in a way, utilising something like you could with a Flash projector file where you could set the fullscreen's "allowscale" function to "false" (keeping the document at exactly 100%) and the actual fullscreen call itself to "true" (display the document in fullscreen mode, taking over your entire monitor).
Also, i would want to specify a 'background', which is simple in flash as i can just create an oversized movie clip with whatever i want to appear in the background, and this will cover any excess area in monitors that exceed my canvas size. (So i usually create a movie clip of an image or gradient for the background that measures 2600 x 1600 pixels). Will acrobat be able to render this correctly, or is it just going to display the actual canvas size and exclude my oversized 'background' movie clip? If i use my 1024 x 768 canvas, will it clip the big background movie clip to fit?
Thanks folks... bit long winded but i just wanted to make sure i've covered the bases!

Like it or not, InDesign is a color managed application, and your files are all being managed.
You'll always have less grief if the working spaces match the output, but that isn't always possible. If you want to to convert to the profiles specified in the CSF file, choose one of the "Convert to Profile" settings and select the correct profile as the destination. You'll have two options, preserve numbers, or don't preserve numbers.
Preserving numbers will cause colors to shift, but will preserve 100% K blacks. Not preseving numbers will change the numbers to give you the closes match possible in appearance, but will royally screw up your 100% K type if going to press.

Working with SWF files...

We're working on an editor to post letter's to a blog, and we're trying to implement something that will automate the process of adding SWF's to the code. Basically what we're looking for is some way to read the width and the height of the swf while inserting it into the code. We have some Javascript that has been grabbing it, but it doesn't always grab the correct height and width.
function InsertFlash(sFlashFile,id)
var obj = document.getElementById(id);
var w = obj.getAttribute('width');
var iWidth=ReturnWidth(id);
var iHeight = ReturnHeight(id);
alert(iWidth + " " + iHeight);
function ReturnWidth(movie)
     var movieObj = getFlashObj(movie);
     return movieObj.TGetProperty("/", 8);
function ReturnHeight(movie)
     var movieObj = getFlashObj(movie);
     return movieObj.TGetProperty("/", 9);
function getFlashObj(movie)
     try
          if (window.document[movie])
               return window.document[movie];
          if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")==-1)
               if (document.embeds && document.embeds[movie])
                    return document.embeds[movie];
          else
                               return document.getElementById(movie);
     catch (e)
          //alert(e.description);
Something to note would be that our SWF's are built from flash files in which the programmer for flash has found canned content and then placed what we need inside of it. But we do have one video that has controls, and basically a screen at the beginning that you press in order for it to play. When it's at this screen, we have the normal dimensions of 400x550, but once you hit play and the movie with the movie controls show up, it varies around the 2200x356 mark, the latter generally staying the same, but the 2200 will bounce around 2000 and 2300 pixels (all in pixels), so that's where we're beginning to get clustermucked. There's a swf file (which holds the correct measurements) a flv file, and another swf file with the controls.
If anyone has run into this before or has a better solution, (using asp classic, no vb), that would be superb!! All we want is the silly dimensions... Hah!

Connect is an AS2 applicaton, and therefore, AS3 SWFs will not work (or not work properly).
If you want to correctly build an application to work in a Connect pod you need to follow the rules in the Collaboration builder, SDK documentation. This has not changed since Connect 6, thus the older version refference.

Pdf with audio files embedded - Acrobat Pro 8 vs Acrobat Reader XI - suggestions?

Hi, I have a problem with a pdf (containing embedded audio files) created with Acrobat Pro 8.
So, two questions for you.
1) When I open it with Acrobat Reader XI, the audio files won't be reproduced.
Windows 7 and 8 tell me that there is a codec problem.
Finding the right codec seems to be very hard (looking on the previous threads in this forum I found some links to websites offering codec packs, but when you download them it seem they start offering many other things to download, and this stresses a lot).
Any other suggestions?
2) The other question is kind of reverse of the first one: if I create a pdf with Acrobat XI, will an Acrobat Reader 8 or 9 be able to open it and listend to the audio files???
Thank you,
aliB

Dear Pat,
I try to write it again.
Unfortunately installing Flash doesn't solve the problem on Windows 7 and 8 (on the XP it works).
Kind regards

Pdf with audio files

When I exported iBooks author file with audio files to a pdf file, I cannot play audo files. How can I make a pdf file with audo files from iBooks author? Any commnets are aprpreciated.

Not going to happen (in this context), sorry.
Consider PDFs as review tools, not replacements for interactive books.

In Flash CS4 a generated html with swf file won't play swf

Using Flash CS4 and having the Flash plug-in ver 10 on my PC, the generated html file will not play the swf in the browser.
I noticed that the active-x javascript is now included in the header as well as the javascript portion in the body tag.
But it won't play. I get the typical blank window in IE with the "X" in the upper left corner.
I don't have this problem with Flash CS3.
Any ideas what may be going on?
Thank you.

I am having similar difficulty; mostly I am confused.
I want to open a flash video file in a frame within a webpage.
I have generated a Flash CS4 html and swf file. When loaded they play, but they play on a separate, full size web page, not in the frame where I want it.
I then generated FLV and F4V files but that doesn't work.
It appears that I need to insert the object and embed tags "for Flash Movies" in the html file.
Once I do that, do I go back to only putting in the html and swf files and create a link to the html file to bring up the video in the target frame?
What are the FLV files for?

DW CS3 ImageViewer - problem with .swf file

I'm trying to make a slide show in Dreamweaver for the first time. I've searched and found a lot of common problems people have - forgetting to upload the .js file, not including the .swf file, etc.
I think I've done everything right (obviously I'm wrong though), it previews in DW, it works when I preview it in a browser, but when it's uploaded, nothing.
But I think I've found where the problem is. The .swf file that was created doesn't seem to be the right file. When I open it, it shows a blank flash slideshow with three empty slides, just as the sample is when you first open the Imageviewer.
But then what is DW pulling the slideshow from that works in the preview?? How do I re-export the .swf file from DW?
Do my questions even make sense? Sorry, kinda new at all this.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, here is the blank page, but when I view source, the code is there.
http://www.americanindianreport.com/imageviewer.html
The .js file is in the Scripts folder, the .swf is in the same folder. Actually, here you can see why it doesn't work. This is the .swf file, three blank pages:
http://www.americanindianreport.com/imageviewerflash.swf

If you look at my last post, the js file has been overwritten with html code, and this is what will be causing the problem.
The only solution is to delete this file insert a new flash object (any swf file will do for this), then copy the new js file to your server, as your flash will not work with this file.
here is a short example of the js files content (not javascript), -
<html>
<head>
<title>Page not found | www.americanindianreport.com</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/http://www.falmouthinstitute.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Protecting EXE, PDF and SWF files from piracy

I am hoping others in the community have some experience with protecting their Captivate output (EXE and SWF files) from piracy. We will be selling our eLearning products developed with Captivate through our online store and want to protect them against file sharing and other forms of piracy. I have found several companies online offering DRM (digital rights management) and SAS (software activation services) that require users to enter a license key to use the products. I am looking for any recommendations from users who have implemented these types of services. What provider did you use and what issues did you encounter. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

Most of the tools I have seen are geared towards extracting
resources from swf's. I use one myself (eltima.com) for
"harvesting" manufacturers content for my motorcycle dealers. They
are authorized to use this content, but finding someone at Yamaha
of Kawasaki or any of the majors who even knows where to find these
resources is next to impossible. I have also used it to learn from
by viewing scripts, but as you say, at the end of the day, I think
the concepts and best practices are about the only thing worth
taking away from others efforts, not the code.
Unlocking a protected file can be done as well and I remember
using a product over a year ago to get at the scripts within an swf
(I wanted the URL's that pointed to media - it was legal for me to
do this). It ran from the command line and output the scripts.
There aren't too many of these types of programs to be found, but
they exist.
My personal opinion is that it's not worth the effort. My
java classes can be decompiled and if someone wants to go to that
trouble, more power to them. To my knowledge, there isn't anything
out there yet that is perfect for backwards engineering an swf into
an MXML file, but a competitor of FLASH Decompiler says that they
can decompile Adobe 9 PLAYER swf's. For what it's worth, I plan on
posting the majority of my code on my flexdev.org site once I get
it established.
For people who make components for sale, this could be an
issue of stolen revenue if the decompilers get sophisticated enough
to reverse engineer the swc into a usable MXML file. I would be
against anyone who stole code for this purpose, for sure.

Trouble with SWF files in Keynote 3

I am working in Keynote for the first time and having trouble bringing in a .swf file. I am having to use a Windows XP box to build the flash file and then moving them over to a Mac to drop into Keynote. I have Keynote 3 and have QuickTime Version 7.0.4 installed. I'm running OS 10.3.9.
When I drop the .swf file onto the slide I am getting a small filmstrip looking icon with a question mark on it. Any ideas on what I have done wrong and need to do?
I have published out with Flash using Flash Player 8, 7, and 6 settings. Nothing works.
second question after I resolve this one is can I make the flash background transparent?
Thank you for any help or assistance.

Actually, some of the newer formats work, but it's hit or miss. I know you have to make sure that you don't havea compress movie checked when you save out as a swf from Flash, that seems to make more of the newer versions work with QT and Keynote.

Adobe presenter - work with swf file

I have a floder called Alpha. In Alpha folder I have Flash folder where my "fla" and "swf" are placed. I have subfolder called "uploaded" in Flsh where I place all my XML files. I call all my text in fla from xml files which are in "uploaded" folder.
In Adobe Presenter, I inserted, swf file which was in "Flash" folder but unable to see any text or animation. please suggest.

I would probably assume that.
I would reccomend a presenter with a "joystick" type control.
The trackball type are a pain, and usually get gummed up like the
old ps2 mice.
When I was in the navy, we had something similar to this for
ward room briefs:

Adobe Cap 5.5 on Moodle - publish without SCORM, with .swf files

Hi,
My agency is using Moodle as a training platform and I need to publish my captivate training files to Moodle.    We track training completion through assessment reports.   I upload two different Adobe Captivate 5.5 training files.
(1)   the training portion with .swf (Raptivity) interactivity
(2)   the assessment portion - published in SCORM
I am able to successfully publish the assessment portion of the Adobe Captivate 5.5 in SCORM to Moodle.     However I am unable to successfully publish the training file.
I do not need to publish the training portion in SCORM so am open to suggesions of the best method to get the training file with Raptivity .swf files working on Moodle. When I publish the file it will work perfectly on our local network but does not work in Moodle. I have tried publishing the training portion (1) with and without SCORM without success.
Thank you for your help.
Note:   Please see my post 4-12-11.   I was unable to list files in the imsmanifest.xml as suggested in the response - and wonder if someone could provide further detail/ support with this suggestion.   How do I add the other tags?   Would someone be able to provide a screen shot of these steps?     Thank you.
Sandra

In the dialog inside Captivate where you set up the path to find the video file. By default, Captivate sets an absolute link, however, this path will be invalid if your video will be moved to another system (e.g. the LMS). You have to alter the default path to make it a relative path. The usual method is to copy the video file into the same publish folder as the Captivate SWF. (By default, Captivate doesn't move your video file for you at publish time.) If your FLV or F4V file is sitting in the same folder as your SWF, then you can just use the filename of the video file as your relative path when setting up the link in the dialog.
I also recommend you ONLY use lowercase filenames at all times for Captivate projects, including the published file and folders, and that you NEVER have spaces in files or folder names. These precautions will eliminate many baffling link failures when projects are moved from a Windows development environment to another webserver environment.

How to use Adobe Flash Player with .swf files?

Hey,
I have a .swf file that I'am trying to open but it seems that I can't. Is there any way that I can use Flash Player to do so?
The .swf I'm trying to open is a game, when i right-click on it and i click on Open With, I don't see Flash Player as one of the options.
Can you help me please? Thanks alot!!!

There IS a standalone Flash Player but is's part of Flash Professional. You'd need to purchase it (or download a 30 day trial, but I don't know if the Flash Player would keep working after the trial expires).
