No skin when adding swf movie to website

I've got a large avi that imported into Flash ... and I've
encoded and exported ... all of those yummy things and I've
published it for my website.
It previews just fine (with Flash player) and in the IE
browser and the controls are there. The problem is ... I don't know
how to include the "controls" for my website. I copied the "object"
code and inserted it, but it still doesn't have controls.
I also included the skin swf file - in the same web folder
(images). The movie is inserted and plays but there are no controls
(play/stop/volume, etc). Can someone help ... please.

Thanks for taking your time! Much appreciated.
I like not complicated :-) So it is now loading from the start - stretching over the whole timeline. How do I controll the visibility during the "HOME" = that is invisible?
This is the code I use to load the external swf:
var Xpos:Number=0;
var Ypos:Number=0;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest=new URLRequest("main_movie_241x700.swf");
loader.load(defaultSWF);
loader.x=Xpos;
loader.x=Ypos;
addChild(loader);

IDVD 7.0.2 crashes when adding more movies

I am using iDVD 7.0.2, because I have the old 17" Mac laptop.
The iDVD crashes when adding more than one movie and trying to save the project.
Any idea about that ?

I'm assuming you really mean 20GB's or more of hard drive space rather than RAM memory .... only because I don't anyone on this forum with 20GB's or more of random access memory.
This is directly from the iDvd Help Menu:
Best Performance
When you select Best Performance, iDVD encodes your video in the background as you’re working on your project instead of waiting until you burn it. This can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to create a finished DVD. This is a good choice if your project is an hour or less in duration (for a single-layer disc). You’ll finish your project more quickly, and the encoding quality will be excellent for the amount of video you have.
Best Performance encodes your video at a preset bit rate that produces great quality for projects that can easily fit on your disc. If you have a larger project that needs to be squeezed onto a disc, you should select one of the other encoding options.
To check menus open the drop zone editor and check menu info.
Motion Menus in general are not intended for long durations. Suggestion: Keep loops short and sweet (including any added audio).
This too is directly from iDvd's Help Menu:
The menus in a DVD can include background movies that play while the menu is showing as well as buttons that play video (called “motion buttons”). The total allowable playing time for video in all such “motion menus” in a DVD is 15 minutes. If total playing time is longer than 15 minutes, you will not be able to burn the DVD. You can keep track of the playing time for all menus in a project in the Project Info window.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

.flv not showing in .swf movie on website

I have created a .fla (Macromedia Flash 8) and have imported
a .flv video into it. When I view the video in Flash 8 (control -
test movie), both play fine. When I upload the published .swf file
to an .html document on our website, the .fla portion (graphics in
our case) plays beautifully, however the .flv (actress video) does
not. Do I need special code in the .html file or does anyone have
any words of wisdom?

It sounds like the server mime type error that others have
had on this site. This is a solution found by Newsgroup User Paul:
quote:
I had the same problem. they added this mime type
The mime type that was added was: video/x-flv
Hope this helps

Loading external swf movie to website - AS3

Hi, once again I am stuck because of AS3, it was sooo easy to load external swf in as2.
I have a very simple website where HOME does not want the external swf to show but all other pages should have the swf running as a main banner on left hand side.
My site is built with labels - if you click on any other page except "HOME" the swf should load and stay loaded while navigating on the "following pages", and when you navigate back to "HOME"the banner should unload.
Should be easy right? I browse the Internet for 2 days and find millions of code, but nothing that works.
Do I need a Loader placed on the following pages or an empty movie clip (with an instance name?)
I tried the below, but it only loads if you click on button "l'ambition" first, since this is the frame where the code is placed, and it is of course not unloading on "HOME. I have a keyframe on label "ambition" where I have a Loader box and the code (both running all over the following pages.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("main_movie_241x700.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
Do I need an EventListener?
Anyone...? Please hand me complete code since that will help me a lot. You can see the test site here: http://www.gattadesign.fr/CSD/index.html
Thanks in avance!

Javascript error when adding Flash movie to DWCS3

When I try to add a Flash movie to a page in DW CS3, I get
the following message:
When executing onClick Options.htm, the following Javascritp
Error(s) occurred:
At line 55 of the file "I:\Program FIles\Adobe\Adobe
Dreamweaver CS3\Configuration|Commands|Object|Object Options.js":

If I click through the error messages, I finally get the
movie on the page and it seems to display okay in IE6 ahd FX.
I don't get the error when I load a Flash movie if I use DW
8.
Do I need to reload DWCS3? Or is there a fix that I can
download. It seems to be a problem with DWCS3.

Trying to get AS3 game to keep score of user points and not loop when added to Flash CS4 website

Here is my scripting (seperated into two pages) the font in red is causing the drama so far:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class Easymind extends Sprite //Class Definition
        private var timer:Timer;

            timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addGifts);
            timer.start();
        private function addGifts(eTimerEvent)
            prevCount = count;

            var gift:Gift = new Gift();
            gift.name = "gift" + i;
            gift.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth; // is the same as (0 to 0.99) * 550

                score += 10;
                scoreText.text = score.toString();

and as i mentioned, what's the problem related to that code. the reason i ask is because that code shouldn't compile. specifically,
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, kill);
            timer = new Timer(5000);
            timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addGifts);
            timer.start();
is incorrect. and
    private function addGifts(eTimerEvent)
            prevCount = count;
            count ++;
            for (var i:uint = prevCount; i < count; i++)
            var gift:Gift = new Gift();
            gift.name = "gift" + i;
            gift.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth; // is the same as (0 to 0.99) * 550
            gift.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight; // is the same as (0 to 0.99) * 576
            addChild(gift);
        private function giftShower()
is incorrect.
if you don't have a problem with your code compiling, then copy your code and paste it into this forum.

SWF move 1 pixel on the right in Firefox when loaded in the xhtml page

Hello,
I have a background image in a level in my swf wich have to be aligned to the background image in the xhtml page where the swf is loaded.
I noticed that in Firefox (Since few time not always) when the swf is loaded, it seem that the image move 1 pixel on the right and the alignement of the background image is ruined!
This thoesnt happen with other browsers like Explorer, Opera, Safari.
I post the difference beetween the firefox and other browsers:
I suppose is not a CSS matter but in the SWF player becouse since some time ago it worked good in Firefox too and i didnt modify anything in the code!
Best regards,
Massimo

Does that happen with every image or only on specific websites?

[Photoshop CC 2014] Click&hold-move-release doesn't work when adding adjustment layer from the layer panel

When selecting a menu item I used to click the left mouse button and hold it down, move the pointer to the desired menu item and release the mouse button. Everything works fine in the mine menu, but there's a problem when adding new adjustment layer from the layer panel: when I release the button nothing happens, I have to press the button again. In previous PS version it worked fine. How can I fix this?

I don't think that is user fixable, meaning you'll have to wait till adobe fixes it with an update.

Keep image size unchanged when fullscreen the swf movie

Hi,
i am including a image on SWF file (using Flash CS4) i want images to keep its original dimension whether user fullscreen the SWF movie or play it on windows.
currently i do not have any action script or coding on my .fla file. when i publish the movie and fullscreen it, the image i put in fla file get all stretched out and blur. Please help me to figure out how to keep the dimension unchanged.
Thank you

All you have to do is to set the scalemode of the stage to "noscale"
In AS3 add the following code:
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
stop();
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
There is a similar code for AS2, i think infact its the same this
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Thanks

Movie file corrupts when added

I have been adding different movies successfully to the menu on iDVD, but one file corrupts when added. The file will open and play outside of iDVD with no problems. Any suggestions?

Hi
iMovie and iDVD are very picky on what they can or can not use for VIDEO CODECS !
To find out what a specific video file has for CODEC
- open it with QuickTime player (can open so so many more)
- press cmd+I (turns on inspector)
- read - video formatted as: nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
and frames per second: YY.yy
What does they say ?

Controller skins for multimedia (swf) video -how to add?

My version of Acrobat Pro 9 does not have controller skins for swf files added with the Tools > Multimedia > Flash menu. But in watching AdobeTV - Kelly McCathran "A PDF Can Do That" video, she is using Acrobat Pro v9 on a Macintosh and at 13:38 time there are controller options available in her setup. Is this because the video is FLV and it includes the controller skins? http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15383v1011
Is it possible to add skins as a swf file is embedded in PDF to control playback?
Is there a place to download basic controller skins?
Can Javascript be used for playback controls of embedded swf files?
My goal is to be able to pause a video and add a comment like in the "Commenting on Video in Acrobat" movie at AdobeTV - http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15361v1015. I want to do more testing of this feature on my Mac because the first time I could make comments but the time code/reference was not captured and therefore the comment could not jump back to the video frame. I hope this was just me and not an oversight for all Macintosh users.

I doubt you'll get an answer here. We're all users, not Adobe employees. Acrobat 9 Pro is pretty new, and not many people are using the multimedia tools.
You might have more luck on this website:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/topics/rich-media
They also have forums where Adobe employees sometimes answer questions.

SWF Movie Not Active In Webpage Until Clicked Once

Hi All,
My friend is a newbie to Flash and I am helping her a bit
with creating a website.
She has created a Flash movie that is a pictue slideshow that
has a 'Next' and 'Previous' button at the bottom.
Everything work fine when playing the movie in Flash.
But when added to a web page, the two buttons to switch
pictures do not work until the mouse is clicked at least once
inside the bounds of the movie. After clicking the movie,
everything works fine.
This means that a visitor to the site will not be able to
ckick directly on one of the buttons but instead will need to do a
first click just to activate the buttons..
Does anyone know why this is happening and how it could be
fixed?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Marcos

OK, before anyone flames me for not doing a forum search
prior to creating a new topic ;-)
I found the answer.
