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.

During Facetime conversation, the picture is a narrow portrait view rather than full screen and landscape

My kids in NYC with a Macbook Pro had the same problem. Anyone know how to make it fullscreen?

You are in imac (ppc) not macbook pro or facetime.
But in answer to your question, It will be in the video menu at the top. Or press command + shift + F

I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

Hi Mary,
I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved all the way to the left. Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

Flash .swf and .flv player

I need to put a link, "view movie," on a website page. The movie is an .swf, and I'd like a Flash media viewer to open in a window (about 400x400px) when the link is clicked. I don't need the viewer to be a permanent part of the page -- I just want it to open in a pop-up window that can be closed when the person viewing is finished. I know I can just insert the .swf and it will open on link click in a separate window and autoplay (Dreamweaver CS4), but there are no start, stop or volume buttons on that window, and it doesn't look like I can insert them from the behaviors panel. I don't have Flash on my computer. I just need to be able to allow a movie to be played on my webite.
Any suggestions for low-priced, but good extensions? If not needing an extension, any other good fixes?
Tom

What happens when you change it - does it work?
If not, you may be better off to ask in the Flash or Dreamweaver forum, as this is not really a Flash Player question.

Horizontally centering flash .swf" and disallowing horizontal scroll??

Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
I made my website in Flash Catalyst, and I made the width 1700px and the height 1200px. I made the width large because I wanted it to look good in the largest screen resolutions, but my biggest problem now that I've finished making the website is putting it up. Simply embedding it makes it scroll horizontally all the way to 1700px, which isn't good for those with small browsers.
Originally, I was planning on making the flash file the background in CSS (using body {background: url(FILE.swf) no-repeat #000 top center}) but then I found out you can't put .swf's as backgrounds.
Basically, I want to know if it's possible to center the .swf horizontally, and then disallow horizontal scrolling. I want to keep vertical scrolling,
Any help appreciated!

Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
Yes, but it introduces other problems. With scrolling disabled, you might not be able to see all the page. I DO NOT recommend what you are trying to do. Flash scaling would most likely give you better results.
Background images if intended to cover a large area are typically very small images which are repeated to create a pattern. Using one large image will still never cover all the possible screen resolutions or page sizes... for example larger than 1700 or taller than 1200 pixels.
Centering requires a set dimension, like 1700 so auto set margins would center it, but it still may not cover 100% as using a width of 100% would.
That being said, turn off horizontal scroll and leave vert on with:
overflow-y: auto !important;
overflow-x: hidden !important
then you'll need to use z-indexing to lay anything else over the top of you background .swf
Here a sample page that should get you going... dimensions are smaller so you can see how it works... the principle is the same.

I have a question about Flash swfs and Scripts

I have a Flash swf file and it is made up of my logo and stuff going past it and around it, behind it, and such. What can I do to it, so when somebody enters the page the logo will appear at the center of the page and then progressively move up until it hits the page logo and then kills the swf file?

I wouldn't give up hope on getting some ideas for how to get what you want, trying things can be the best way to learn. But you should clarify things because your current description is a little hard to follow. You say you want a logo centered on a page moving up the page towards a logo, but then you say the page fades in when the logos meet (Wasn't the page there already?). It's hard to differentiate the logos and the pages from your description. Or maybe it's just me not being able to follow it.
If you want a splash screen, then typically a splash screen will play thru whatever it does and then initiate a redirect to the home page. This redirection would be coded into the Flash file.
If you want the home page to fade into view, then you'd either have to build that page as a movieclip in the Flash file or try to utilize a page transition in the browser. It has been so long since I even tried using a browser page transition that I couldn't tell you how to set it up, but if memory serves me well, IE was the only browser at the time that supported them, and I don't know if that has changed. (I don't know enough to know if there is a CSS solution to making a page fade in)

Difference between a Flash *.swf and a Flash *.flv video?

What is the difference between a *.swf and a *.flv video?
AFAIK both are Flash videos.
Are they compatible?
Is there a player (not from MS) which plays both videos?
Peter

Im guessing you're a complete newbie to all this, so in
simplistic terms:
- The FLA is the source flash file (the bit that contains all
the design stuff and code). When you publish a FLA, it creates a
SWF file.
- The FLV file is a video which has been converted to flash
video format.
- A SWF displays anything thats been created within the FLA
to provide things like a wizzy website, advertising banner or can
be used to show a FLV (flash video) with added functions. Although
it sort of points to the video rather than storing it inside (so
the file is smaller and manageable)
The benefits of using a SWF to play FLV's is that it displays
at lot quicker. F4V's (another variance) I've now discovered,
although are larger files, also display very quickly even with
larger files.
In terms of playback - do you want to view online or offline?
to view online, you just need to make sure you have flash
installed on whatever machine you're using - pc/mac.
to view offline (from your hard disc), download the Adobe
Media Player

Exporting Flash(SWF) and Getting No Audio

Hello All,
I'm new to these boards and have only posted once previously.
I'm recording lectures with Captivate 3 for University
professors speaking in front of a class using power point. I have
one Captivate project with about 570 slides. When I publish this
project to SWF and play it in html and/or the skin player there is
no audio.
There is audio when I play each slide or when I preview the
project but no audio when I publish it.
I have audio selected as MP3 96 kbps, 44.10 KHz in the
preferences of Publish but there's just nothing.
Any ideas of what could be going wrong?
Also, I'm not sure if I should post this in the Recording
category but during some of these long recordings, part of the
lectures end up recording blank white slides. There is audio as the
professor is speaking and surely there's an image on the computer
with power point but Captivate is recording pure white. Troubling.
THANKS!

I have the same problem here. I only have 47 slides, and
about 12 have audio. The total size of the .cp file is 15 mb. I
only hear audio when I am looking at the slides and press F3. None
of the slides are muted. I have made sure that the "Include Audio"
checkbox is checked. I do not have audio in preview mode or in the
published swf or exe file. I am at a loss here.

Can a SWF file resize in the PDF when user zooms or goes 'full screen'?

Hi,
I've got some animation in my Indesign file which I've exported as a SWF and brought back in to InDesign.
I then create the Interactive PDF. It has a white background, so I select it in Acrobat and got to PROPERTIES and give it a transparent background.
BUT, when I go full screen or above 75% - the SWF shrinks on page.
The users of this PDF will need to zoom in, or go full screen. I really need the SWF to be resizing as the user goes full screen, or views it however they choose.
Is there a way to set the SWF to resize with the PDF?

Let me guess. You’re using InDesign CS5 and never bothered to install any of the patches.
Download and install 7.0.4.

When right clicking to open link in new window (not tab) foxfire immediately switches windows rather than opening new window in background

Just updated to foxfire 15.0, and now each time I open a link in a new window foxfire will switch immediately to that newly opened window rather than opening the new window in the background as it did before I updated to 15.0. I am aware of the option to check or uncheck switching to new tabs immediately, but I am speaking of opening a link in a new window, not tab. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Since I updated to Firefox 4 when I am at Facebook and try to view my apps, such as Farmville , in full screen but it will only stay in full screen a few seconds and then revert back to normal view. How can I correct this?

unable to stay in full screen since upgrade

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Horizontal RSS feed- is it possible to create an RSS feed (showing both pictures and text), that scrolls from left to right rather than top to bottom?

I am trying to create an RSS feed that will scroll from left to right rather than top to bottom as is standard in iWeb. Ideally, I would like to show both images and text. I am actually using iWeb '09. I am not opposed to writing html code if necessary.
Thank you for your help!

Probleme solved without having to change anything in the flash.
The solution was to add a small part in the CSS in HTML
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
Solve probleme. All browser. VERY usefull to know !

Using Win 10 there is a need for an app to determine the full device display area and aspect ratio programitically; the dimensions are needed to create full-screen bitmap.

While Windows.Current.Bounds returns the application windows size, in order to create a full-screen bitmap my app would need to retrieve the full display area of the device. I cannot even get the aspect ratio.
Pre-Win10, using Windows.Current.Bounds I can create a bitmap of whatever size application window the user is seeing. When the user is showing my app at full screen, I can therefore get the full display area and aspect ratio of the device and create a full-screen
bitmap.
With Win10, the user would need to know to hide the taskbar and also display at full-screen before an app can retrieve the display area and aspect ratio using Windows.Current.Bounds.
Before Win10 it's obvious to the user that full-screen is or is not being used. When I create the bitmap, I create it to fit the application window. When the app is displayed full screen, the bitmap will be full screen. Also, the app starts full-screen so
I can detect the display area at startup if I need to.
With Win10, to the user the app "looks like" it is full screen with the taskbar displayed even though it's not really full screen.
I believe that in Win10 determining the full display area will be useful and not just retrieving the application window size.

Rob, Is this forum best way to get my suggestion to the development team?

Yes, Windows.Current.Bounds does work the same, but I believe that in Win10 determining the full display area will be useful and not just the application window.

My bookmarks bar and toolbar do not drop down when Safari is in full-screen mode.

I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down. Once I escape then I can see them fine. I'm also having issues with dragging or dropping ANYTHING. A gost image of what I am trying to move shows, and will not go away unless I force quit Mail or Safari. Needless to say, what I ws attempting to drag and drop does not take effect.

Hi..
I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down.
Click the title bar one time. The gray area of the window at the very top of your screen in full screen mode.
Not sure what you mean by, "anything", when dragging and dropping. Right or control click the content. There may be an option for saving that data for you from the menu.
