PrevFrame() buttons in a swf file inserted in html not working in Firefox

Hi!
I have a very weird problem.
I have created a photo gallery using AS3 in Flash CS5. I have used prevFrame() and nextFrame() actions for "previous photo" and "next photo" buttons as well as for "previous thumbnails" and "next thumbnails" buttons.
All the buttons work fine when i run the swf files as well as when i run the swf files in Firefox 8.0 and IE9. However, once I insert this swf file into my html file using Dreamweaver CS5->Insert->Media->swf, the "previous" buttons dont work in Firefox 8.0! the previous image button works sometimes whereas the previous thumbnails button does not work at all! They work fine in IE9. The next buttons also work fine in every browser. Heres my code:
stop();
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextimage);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, previmage);
thumbprev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, prevthumbs);
thumbnext_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextthumbs);
function nextimage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==mc_content.totalFrames)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(1);
else
mc_content.nextFrame();
function previmage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==1)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(mc_content.totalFrames);
else
mc_content.prevFrame();
function nextthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbprev_btn.visible=true;
nextFrame();
if(currentFrame==3)
thumbnext_btn.visible=false;
function prevthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbnext_btn.visible=true;
prevFrame();
if(currentFrame==1)
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
Please help.

Thankyou Ned. The html file published by flash worked perfectly however the problem persisted even if i used this html file's code. But strangely, the problem disappeared after a few days! Now the original dreamweaver code is also working fine.

Append swf file - Spry.Utils.updateContent - not work

I don't understand this
When I try to add swf file to Spry Tabbed Panels content -
everything is OK. Now - in tabbed panels content I want to insert
data from external html files. In this external file I have swf
file and text, and images. When I preview this html external file
in browser - all data are displayed correctly. When I try append
this file into tabbed panels content :
<a href="#" onclick="Spry.Utils.updateContent('apDiv1',
'products/products1.htm'); return false;">Append file</a>
only swf file in a new window are display.
If I delete swf content from external html file - everything
is ok. But if in external append file is a swf content - IE display
only swf file.
Is there posible to append html file with swf file in this
method in any way?

Hi Elaine,
The implementation of AC_FL_RunContent() suggests that it was
only meant to be run *BEFORE* the page finishes loading. Because
Spry data sets and regions load and redraw asynchronously, usually
*after* the page finishes loading, they are not compatible. As
we've mentioned above, if Spry triggers the call to
AC_FL_RunContent(), it will most likely be *after* the onload event
has fired, and since AC_FL_RunContent() uses document.write() it
will result in the entire page being overwritten by the
<object>/<embed> tag that it writes out.
That all said, libraries like SWFObject were designed to be
called even after the onload event fires, at least from what I can
tell from their samples. If you need to extract data from a data
set to create your SWFObject, you can simply attach an observer to
your data set that will tell the swfobject to do what it is you
want it to do. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsProducts = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml",
"/products/product");
// Register an observer on dsProducts so that any time it
changes data or the current
// row changes, it tells the swfobject what to do:
dsProducts.addObserver(function(notificationType, notifier,
data)
if (notificationType != "onDataChanged" || notificationType
!= "onCurrentRowChanged")
return;
// Do something with the swfobject here:
var curRow = dsProducts.getCurrentRow();
// The following embedSWF call is only an example of how to
get the "productURL" column
// value for the current row and pass it to the swfobject.
The rest of the args, are left as names to
// show you what you should be passing.
swfobject.embedSWF(curRow.productURL, replaceElemIdStr,
widthStr, heightStr, swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvarsObj,
parObj, attObj);
</script>

Keynote Flash .swf file to IWeb does not work correctly

I create a presentation in keynote, export to flash and save as a .swf file. I then drag it into a website that I am creating and it shows up as a text file; in other words the title of the file shows up in the box. What am I doing wrong first of all and then secondly, where do I get the HTML code from these files that I have created as I believe I could use the HTML snippet to import the code?? Please help

This seems to be a problem before the file even reaches iWeb. I exported a Keynote presentation to SWF but when I check the file info it shows that the file is a HTML file despite the fact that it has the .swf extension. I changed the "Open With" to Flash Player but that didn't make any difference. I then tried to upload to a server and it transfers the file as text.
It's got me buggered!
An yideas?

Hi kglad,
The problem was coming from my server.
I recently played with some settings from a "cache control tool" offered by my hosting but i thought i had it back at default. Turns out i must've missed something. Now i have the .html caching on and everything works good on all browser.
I have another question tho...
I'd like to know if there's a way to cache an html file without having to ask my hoster to cache all of my htmls...
I'm using this code now but maybe there's a way to add something that will cache this page specifically?

How can I control a button from one swf file to another swf file?

Hi,
I have a main.swf file. From that file I am accessing the external.swf file which is an external file.
Now, how can I write code on my main.swf file for the button which is on my external.swf file?
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn (This buttons is actually on external.swf file, but I want to write code on main.swf file to execute it on external.swf) how can I control one swf button on other swf file?
Thanks.

Here's some example code that you should be able to adapt to your needs.
// create a new loader object instance...
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// make the download request...
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
// add a complete event listener to the loader
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// start the actual loading process...
loader.load(request);
// create a new empty movieClip instance, you will put the loaded movie into this movieClip once its loaded
var externalMovie:MovieClip;
// this function is called when the download has finished and the file is ready to use...
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
   // set the contents of the loaded movie to the new empty movieClip...
           externalMovie = MovieClip(event.target.content);
   // add this new movie to the display list...
   addChild(externalMovie);
Now you can refer to the loaded movie with the instance name "externalMovie". So if, for instance, you want to address a button in the loaded movie, you could write something like this on the main timeline:
externalMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
function btnClickClose(event:MouseEvent):void {

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

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.

Does that only happen on that website or do you have that problem with all Flash content?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

Printing an embedded .swf file in a .html page

not sure which forum to ask this....so this question may

I have a web page that I built in DreamWeaver using CSS. On
this webpage I have a .swf file embedded in one of my <div>
tags. When the user hits File>Print, I want only the .swf file
to print and not the other areas (i.e. header, footer, nav bar
etc.) of the webpage. The following website does exactly what I
want.

Back Button not working in FireFox 4

Is anyone else having trouble with the back and forward buttons not working in FireFox 4? I installed 4 on an XP desktop and a Vista 64 laptop, and the forward and back buttons don't work on either installation. Does anyone know a fix for this? I tried deleting the "places" files in the profile and that does not help.

I am having a problem with the back button also in Firefox 4. Firefox forgets the 1st page in any new session or tab. If I open a tab to say bbc.com and navigate to guardian.com I can't click the back button to get back to bbc.com.

Javascript "Play Video" button not working in Firefox

When clicking on "play video" (java), QuickTime will not open while using firefox. It does work in Google Chrome and IE. I have tried using a clean user profile & allowing popups, and I made sure the Java and QuickTime addons were working and up to date.
The problem is with twit.tv/twit. Clicking the "Live" link on google.com does play the live stream, but the actual Java buttons are not working in Firefox.

Make sure that you do not block [[JavaScript]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I added preset motions to my interactive pdf file. It's not working when I export my file as an interactive pdf. It's working when I play it on the Preview panel. I must not be doing something right. Does anybody have any clue what I need to do to have my presets motions work when played on Acrobat

So do you mean export the whole document in a swf file format and then bring the whole swf file in and save it as a pdf file. Is there way to export these motion presets seperately and bring them back into Indesign. I wish it was less difficult but I guess there is no way around it for the time being.
