Other problems with loading Captivate files into Flash AS3 project

I have a Captivate file done with Captivate 3, published to
Flash player 9 that is being loaded into Flash AS3. The captivate
is a simple recording of some mouse clicks in a browser. I am
displaying the playbar along the bottom, and its buttons all work
fine except for the progress bar, where you can drag the knob and
scrub back & forth in your presentation.
This progress bar is not working as it should. I see the
mouse cursor change to a hand, but when I click I cannot drag the
knob to control the progress bar. The other buttons in the playbar
do work (replay, pause, play, back, forward).
This is a unique problem in that it is only happening when
viewed in IE (7) when loaded into my Flash AS3 project. When viewed
in Firefox in my project, or as a standalone SWF, or as a SWF
simply embedded onto a plain HTML page, it works just fine.
Does anybody have any insight?
Another thing I notice with loading Captivate files with AS3
is the the amount of output messages it displays. Rather annoying
(unless this is a "feature" I've yet to be aware of - heh)

Hi,
I know exactly how you feel, there is simple answer; replace
Captivate for Camtasia Studio 5 at techsmith.com. The weight on
those shoulders will be gone! You'll smile more, be more
socialable. One Happy Person.
I am very happy person ;)

Image problems importing Illustrator 10 file into Flash MX.

Hello,
I'm working on my portfolio and want to import an Illustrator
(version 10) file into Flash (Flash MX). The problem I'm having is
that when I import the Illustrator file into Flash, it comes out
looking blurred. I tried exporting the Illustrator file into
Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG, PNG, and TIFF (in each file
format, changing the image size to 72 dpi) and I still get the same
blurred result. I also tried saving the file for web, in
Illustrator (in JPEG and PNG formats) with no success as well.
The Illustrator file is a small collage of my graphic design
work (where I pasted graphic work done in Illustraor and made
clipping masks to collage them together), so I'm not sure if
bringing these files together maybe causing some technical issue or
is importing Illustrator files into Flash just something that will
always appear blurred. If so, is there a way I can bring the file
into Photoshop and work with it where I can import it without the
blurred appearance?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We have multiple request to add support for externally linked files and certainly see the value. There also are a couple third party solutions that offer linked file behavior (I'm not sure what versions of Ps they work with).

Problems with loading AS2 assets into AS3 container

Hello,
in a Project I use the AS3 Loader Class to load
AS2-swf-files. The swf-files are placed into different subfolders,
since they're using the same filenames and subfoldernames for
config-files etc.
The Problem is: Whatever swf-file I load first, it is
working, but every swf-file after that fails. It seems to be
loaded, but it's not working correctly.
I'm using the attached code (easy as it seems) to unload the
present content and then loading the new one. But also using a
separated second loader to load the second file is not working.
I made some kind of testcase (a loader with 2 content
swf-files) for you, so you can understand what I'm talking about.
Here you can download the
testcase (28
MB).
It seems like there is a bug in the flash player 9 that
prevents the AS2-content from being unloaded correctly from an AS3
file. Can you confirm that there is such a bug? Or do you have an
explanation for this behavior? Or even better: a solution or
workaround?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your help, but as said ("But also using a
separated second loader to load the second file is not working.")
even when using a second loader (with a different name) the second
file loaded will not work.
I'm removing any EventListener from the first loader,
unloading and then nulling it.
But to me it seems, that the first content is not garbage
collected and because of that, even when loaded with an other
loader the first loaded swf-file interferes with the second.
I came to this conclusion, because the first loaded swf-file
is still working after trying to load the second file. And just
more weird: the first loaded file is in the same state and also
after closing the Flash-Player.
You can see it for yourself: download the testcase. Start the
testcase.swf. Load a contentfile. Skip a few pages. Quit the Flash
Player. Start the testcase.swf again and load the same contentfile.
You will see it's at the same position like before quiting the
Player.
And I can't help, but that seems like a bug to me...

D800 file compatibility: Has anyone experienced problems with loading D800 files onto the iPad using the camer connector kit? I have tried both RAW and JPEG using SDHC and CF cards and the iPad(3) doesnt recognise any of the files.

Has anyone experienced problems with downloading Nikon D800 files to the iPad3 using the camer connector kit? I have tried .RAW and JPEG (of various sizes) on both SD and CF cards, but the iPad doesn't recognise the files.
I have seen various forums discussing Lightroom and PSE updates that are required to process .NEF files but I can't find anything on the iPad/camera connector issue.
I dont have any problem if I put the SD card straight into the SD slot in my iMac and Aperture will process the files fine, but I would really like to be able to download and view files on the move on the iPad.
Any advice appreciated?
PS - saw something that suggested the iPad had a maximum file size of 16mb for photos, not sure if this is correct, but I have tried smaller JPEG files and they still aren't recognised.

If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content.
If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
Note: Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.

Problem with loading rss feed in flash

I wrote the following simple code to get started with loading
rss feed:
var document = new XML();
document.onload = myLoadHandler;
document.load("
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Business.xml");
trace(document.status);
trace(document.loaded);
trace(success.toString());
But the result I got is always this:
0
false
undefined
It is the same even for local xml files saved in the same
directory as the flash file.
Could someone please help me?
Thanks so much~

It's necessary to discard the white spaces.
Set the ignoreWhite property to true.
document.ignoreWhite = true;

Problems with importing mp4 files into iTunes.

Hi all,
Since a few days I am the proud owner of an iPad 2. When I was looking for a solution to sync my video files (no problems with my pictures nor with my music files), I saw that I had to convert them from .avi to .mp4.
Through this community I learned that there were several free and paid options. Such as handbrake, convertavitomp4.com, etc etc
In the end I have tried around 4, but when trying to get the files into my library of iTunes it fails. In the beginning I did not receive any error message. It just did not work. I tried through CTRL-O, drag and drop. Nothing seems to be working.
Does it have something to do with the fact that I have the newest iTunes (10.5) and the latest OS for the iPad?
Does anyone have The same experience or knows a solution?
Thank you in advance,

Hi Swen,
I am checking out flex player after your recommendation. However, I have since resolved my problem. I am running windows 7, 64 bit, and discovered that the problem was windows 7 security settings. All my itunes data was on a hard drive that I plugged into my new pc running windows 7. Despite allowing me to access the hard drive in the usual way, I discovered (after some help from someone more knowledgeable) that the problem was that all my itunes data was protected and I did not have "full control" rights in the security settings. Very odd, given that I have only one user account on the pc. And why it could not tell me what the problem was I don't know. But what I did was right click the drive and make sure my user account had "full control" rights and now I can drag and drop movies into itunes. This may not fix your issue but hope you resolve it soon.

Problems with importing Captive 3 into Flash CS3

I do wrong?

Problem with using swc files in Flash Player 10

I have two Actionscript projects in Flex. One is using Flash Player 9 the other is using 10. Both projects use the fl classes specifically FLVPlayback.
In the Flash Player 10 project I am using the recently released version 2.5. Both players use individual controls instead of a complete skin swf. So the code goes something like video_player.playPauseButton = playPauseBtn. All the swc files are imported through properties-ActionScript Build Path-Library path-add swc. This all works great in both projects exept in the Flash Player 10 project the volumeBar swc does not load properly. In the debug variables for a break point at the function below in FLVPlayback.as the variables handleLeftMargin, handleRightMargin, handleLinkageID and handleY are missing even though they are all in the original fla used to compile the swc. I have tried compiling swc in both Flash CS3 and 4. I have tried moving the Actionscript inside the fla files but nothing changes. This leads me to believe it is a bug in the Flash Player 10 or the version 10 playerglobal.swc since this part of FLVPlayback.as is identical in versions 2 and 2.5. The result is that only the volume bar renders but no handle. Debugging all through fl.video.UIManager.as handle_mc remains null?
public function set volumeBar(s:Sprite):void {
uiMgr.setControl(UIManager.VOLUME_BAR, s);
In the Actionscript 9 project all the variables are accounted for so the volume bar and handle render and work fine.

Further info for anyone who can help!
I am opening a session from a server via the following sql
statement:-
http://servername/virtualdirectoryname?sql=SELECT
* FROM table1 for XML auto&root=root"
I only get the popup window when trying it out from our
webserver?
The server is MS SQLServer
The virtualdirectory is created with access set as Windows,
and always log on set as "myusername" + "mypassword"
So I thought (hoped) I could pass the "myusername" +
"mypassword"
bits into the above sql statement (maybe appended at the
end?)
If I type the above sql statement into a browser it works
perfectly with the xml returned in a web page,
also as I state above, when I run it from within my flash
prog on my local machine it runs OK and returns the results into
the text area specified within the flash prog.
BUT - When I upload my flash prog to the webserver and try it
from there, I get a windows popup asking me for username + password
+ domainname.
any ideas please?

Problem with loading XML file from directory.

Hello everyone.
*1)* I have directory defined by DBA. I have read, write privileges. I can read file from this directory using UTL_FILE, I can create file in this directory using UTL_FILE. I tried many times and it does not seem to be any problems.
*2)* I have very simple XML table (with just one column of xmltype). I can insert into this column using:
insert into temp_xml values (
Xmltype ('<something></something>')
*3)* When executing
insert into temp_xml values (
Xmltype (
bfilename('XML_LOCATION', 'sample.xml'),
nls_charset_id('AL16UTF8')
I'm receiving an error:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 523
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 287
ORA-06512: at line 1
22288. 00000 - "file or LOB operation %s failed\n%s"
*Cause:    The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.
*Action:   See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed
information. Also, verify that the file or LOB exists and that
the necessary privileges are set for the specified operation. If
the error still persists, report the error to the DBA.
*4)* Previously I was receiving more descriptive errors like permission denied, file not exists etc. This time there is no clear description apart from "file or LOB operation %s failed\n%s". I'm sure I can access this file in this directory (I used UTL_FILE to dbms_output the content).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Marcin,
Welcome to the forums.
One very important thing with Oracle XML : please always give your database version, all four digits (e.g. 10.2.0.4).
Does the directory resides on the same machine as the database? Which OS?
Does any of the following work ?
DECLARE
   v_lob   CLOB;
   v_file BFILE;
BEGIN
   v_file := BFILENAME('XML_LOCATION','sample.xml');
   DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(v_lob, true);
   DBMS_LOB.fileopen(v_file);
   DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(v_lob, v_file, DBMS_LOB.getlength(v_file));
   INSERT INTO temp_xml VALUES( xmltype(v_lob) );
   DBMS_LOB.fileclose(v_file);
   DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(v_lob);
END;
DECLARE
   v_lob   CLOB;
BEGIN
   v_lob := DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.read2clob('XML_LOCATION', 'sample.xml', nls_charset_id('AL16UTF8'));
   INSERT INTO temp_xml VALUES( xmltype(v_lob) );
END;

Problem with Funktion "Combine Files into PDF" on Samba Fileshares

Hi!
When i try to combine Files from a Sambashare witch is connected as V: (\\Server\all_x) then i can choose the Files from the location but when i klick "Combine Files" after a while the ErrorMessage "Cannot open U:\_x\test.doc" Check if you have permission.
Why suddenly Adobe Acrobat will read the File form U: instead of V: ?
The Path before "Underline" (Underscore) was removed : "all_x" -> "_x"
When i renamed the Sambshare to allx without "_" everything is ok.
I can simulate this failure on every Windows XP Workstation. (SP3+all Updates)
Adobe Acrobat X 10.0.0
Samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9
Is this an issue in samba or in Adobe Acrobat?
Update:
This only happens when an other fileshare exists with same name at the beginning.
example:
U: -> \\servername\alle
V: -> \\servername\allev or alle_v (he underscore has no relevance....)
when v: is \\servrname\examplepdf or any other name exept "alle" at the beginning everything is ok.
very strange...
greetings

Have you checked the preferences in Acrobat to see if they have gotten changed?

Problems with copying & reconnecting files in a Stmp project

Hi everyone.
I want to copy files from a project (that I'm currently working on) to a new drive and reconnect them.
But I'm running into problems. I cannot select 'reconnect files".
The situation & history (Sorry for the length):
From FCP, the editor did a 'Send to STP Multitrack Project' with Base layer video + metadata.
The files were written to an external drive, that is now connected to my computer.
When I started the projekt on my computer, I first copied the .stmp file + 'Media' & 'Render files" to the MacinthoshHD, the only internal drive I had.
I started working on the project, and after a couple of days, the system started to give 'disk limit' - messages. Clearly because of the 1-disk situation.
So today I bought another internal drive. I was expecting trouble when copying and reconnecting files, and I was right.. What I did:
I copied all files from the MacHD to the new drive, and opened the stmp file from there.
First I noticed that the Videotrack in STP was still playing from the external drive
I managed to copy it to the new drive, and 'relocate' it.
Just when I thought all troubles were over, the 'limit' messages showed up again.
Reason: It appeared that the paths to all media files were still the 'old' ones, pointing to the MacintoshHD, and even a couple to the external drive..
Then, I followed the instructions on 'Reconnecting Media Files' in the STP manual,
but 'reconnect' is greyed out in the menu. Probably because the project thinks nothing needs to be reconnected.
So what to do?
What I can think of, is renaming the source map on the Macintosh HD
STP will then likely ask: Where is...? And I can point to the new location..
But this solution is tricky.. It will 'destroy' the original paths. And, will STP really give me a chance to restore all fades, files, and so on?
I hope someone can help me out..
Thanks in advance,
Dan

STP actually creates and places files in more places than we realize. Look in the temporary files folder; in another that's been showing up as Soundtrack Pro Media (different than the edited media folder), and back in Capture Scratch, Audio Renders and Render files. We've just learned that what we're looking for isn't always where we think it should be. And we use mostly an internal raid and then a detached firewire 800 raid which we pull off and use to work remotely on the same project. We have to make sure everything we need for the project has been mirrored onto the external raid. It's been much more challenging in STP3 than it was in STP2

Problem with loading file with SQL loader

i am getting a problem with loading a file with SQL loader. The loading is getting
terminated after around 2000 rows whereas there are around 2700000 rows in the file.
The file is like
919879086475,11/17/2004,11/20/2004
919879698625,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
919879698628,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
the control file, i am using is like:-
load data
infile 'c:\ran\temp\pps_fc.txt'
into table bm_05oct06
fields terminated by ","
(mobile_no, fcal, frdate )
I hope, my question is clear. Please help, in solving the doubt.
regards.

So which thread is telling the truth?
Doubt with SQL loader file wih spaces
Are the fields delimited with spaces or with commas?
Perhaps they are a mixture of delimiters and that is where the error is coming in?

Loading XML files into an 8.0.6 database...

Hi,
I've got an Oracle 8.0.6 instance (Sun E250 Solaris 5.7) with multiple import data feeds. I am currently using SQL*Loader to load this data which are flat text delimited files. My data feeds will soon be supplying XML files instead of these flat files which is great, unfortunately, I will not be able to upgrade in 8.1.7 in time so that I can use the XML parser.
Is there anyway I can use SQL*Loader or some other tool to load XML files into my 8.0.6 database? If there is a way, could someone please send the information I would need to help perform this task?
Thanks for all your help...

Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

Loading an AS2 swf into a AS3 project?

I have an AS2 swf that is merely an image gallery made with a few components. I tried loading this swf into an AS3 project I am working on and it seems to load in and play properly in my AS3 file. I'm not looking to communicate with the AS2 swf with AS3 code, I just want to display it and be able to use the component buttons in the AS2 file that play or stop the images from being played. I was wondering if using this will cause any potential issues in my AS3 project. It seems to render and work fine on my machine. Thanks

as2 swfs will play without problem when loaded into an as3 swf.

A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

Hi.
There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
Any help with this problem?
Thanks.

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.
