Opening an swf to a specified frame

Hi,
I'm trying to link from a document that I am creating in Dreamweaver to a specific frame of an swf file (a page of a document produced in InDesign).
Any way to achieve this?
Thanks,
James

James,
I'm wondering if you need to reference the SWF at all. Do you have access to theoriginal InDesign document? If so, why not export that single page (which I presume is the content for your targeted frame) to a PDF and then link to the new PDF file? Or you could even export that page as a JPEG and insert it for your link trigger.
Just a thought.

When I open an .swf file in Adobe Flash Pro it doesn't show up.

Hey, I'm having a problem. I have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, I'm trying to convert an SWF file to a GIF animation.
What I do is: New-->Actionscript 3.0
Import-->Import to stage-->open my .swf file
It shows the frames of it but it's all blank and it just doesn't show up. Any way to fix this?

You need to have the fla file if you want to create a gif.

How to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames?

I do not have much experience on Adobe Flash or Action Script 3, but I know the basics.
I am Arabic language teacher, and I design an application to teach Arabic, I just would like to learn how to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames.
Thanks

Look into using the Loader class to load the swf files. If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

How to open a .SWF in the same window (similar to online photo galleries)?

I have a .swf I want my users to be able to open, but without
opening a new window.
I'm sure you all have seen this effect. In a photo gallery,
the user clicks a thumbnail, the screen darkens, a white box
resizes to the size of the larger image and the full-size image
loads...all without opening a new window. I'd like to do the same
with a .swf. Does anyone know how this is done or could you point
me to a good tutorial? Thanks.

Are you wanting to open your .swf from an HTML page:

HTML: How to start playing a swf at a certain frame?

Hi, is it possible to start a swf (test.swf) not in the beginning but at a certain frame (comparable to gotoAndPlay) in between the html-file?
... Or is there any other way to start a swf at a given frame? Thanks, Ute

Hi Ned,
now I found the solution by myself:
on (release) {
     var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
     my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
     my_mcl.loadClip("ecomo.swf",30);
and in ecomo.fla:
     level30.abatimoaktiv = true;
     level30.kollektion.abatimobtn_inst.gotoAndStop(2);
     _level30.gotoAndPlay("abatimo");
But one more question: what level ist he best one to choose?

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

You should be able to use very similar code - buy instead of
pointing to the
swf directly, it's likely you need to point, instead, to the
html file that
is usually published with the swf.
Without seeing the exact code you are talking about with
DemoShield, I'm
reluctant to offer you any alternative. Simply put, a
standard link pointing
to the correct html file should work. You can get clever and
use JavaScript
if you have specific needs, but the standard HTML link should
be fine for
your needs.
Oh - maybe you should look at Captivate's Manu builder, as
perhaps this will
offer what you are looking for.

When i try to open a .swf file, it goes to adobe device central as default

when i try to open a .swf file, it goes to adobe device central as default. i can't seem to open it in adobe flash????

You likely need to change the default application(s) assigned for opening files to point to the new ones. HOw you do that depends on which operating system you have. If you search Google you should be able to find out how to change the default programs for different files.

Opening a .SWF in Internet Explorer as Default

I have a situation in which I have a .swf file. I want the
end users to view the .swf file and not the HTML file because the
.swf can be resized. I have gone into the properties of the .swf
file and set the "Opens With" default to Internet Explorer and then
clicked OK. On my machine it opens just fine in IE right away. The
problem lies when others in my department go to view it and it
opens the "Open With" dialog box for them to select a program. Many
more people will be viewing this, and not all of them are computer
savey, thus not knowing what program to use or why it is asking
them. I would have them use the Flash Player but for some reason
they don't have that. I know for a fact that everyone will have IE.
Question:
Is there another way to have IE be the default program to
open the .swf file?
Is there an actionscript in flash to do this?
Is there another way to view a .swf file so it can be
enlarged the size of the screen?
Any Ideas, suggestions, comments are greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Luke

Publish as a Projector file - that way the player is embedded
in it....

How make a button open a .swf file in a new window?

How do I make a button open a swf file in a seperate window
new window (like if i opened to swf file seperately)
Anyone know ?

well you can publish the the other FLA, which would give you
an HTML file, upload that and the SWF then link to the SWFs' HTML
page.

Opening flash .swf and constraining it to it's original size rather than full-screen

When I open a flash object (.swf) from my desktop to test it, it opens full screen. I would like to constrain it so that it opens to the size it was created, e.g., 800 x 600.

If you open an SWF link directly in a browser tab then you always get the dimensions of that tab. You either have to open the link in a new window and resize it or use the above mentioned bookmarklet code with a keyword and the url as the parameter to replace the %S. Bookmarklet code like that is very handy as you can also use it if Firefox insists in downloading a file (image) and you want to open it in a tab. Of course you need to supply the correct MIME type in that case.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

How can I get Flash to open a SWF

Hi all,
I an using Flash CS5 on MAC, OS10.
I am trying to get my flash file to open a SWF file in a new window. My SWF file ins in a separte folder. Can someone please tell me how to do this?
Is there a way to tell the file to be 50% scale?
Many thanks,
HDsuperglide

The easiest way to open the swf in a new window (browser window) at 50% scale is to create an html page that sizes it to be that scale and open the html page instead of the swf.
