Print job looks different in html than it did in Flash preview

I have created a .swf that contains several movie clips. I have inserted a print button in each movie clip - and managed to get everything in working order on the Flash end of things. Then I inserted the .swf into a new HTML document in Dreamweaver. So far so good - but when I preview in the browser and hit the print button in one of the nested movie clips, the output looks different than it did when testing it in flash.
My main .swf has a dark blue background so I used a large white rectangle to act as the background of the movie clips so it would not waste a lot of ink. When I print from the browser, the background is blue and the large white rectangle I see in Flash does not appear.
This is the first time that what I insert in Dreamweaver doesn't match up with my Flash preview. Can anyone help?

I'm still not sure why it looked different when inserted into an HTML file. However, I went back into my flash file and changed the document background to white and added a blue rectangle instead of the blue background with a white rectangle in the movie clip for printing - this seems to have solved my problem.
Thanks to anyone thinking about my problem!

Colors look different in titler than on timeline

Colors look different in titler than on timeline. Here's a screen grab. The upper image is the program monitor and the lower image is the titler. Both are on the same monitor.
I guess it's a bug and I will report it but I wonder if anyone else is seeing this.

What is your Premiere Monitor Playback Res set at?
What is the Preview Setting?
Jims advice is useless in this instance. He expects you to do an output file everytime you make a tweak in Titler or Sequence just to see what you might abitrarily be getting.

Photos look different in Photoshop than when viewed with Picture Viewer

I am running Windows XP, using Photoshop CS2, with a Samsung SyncMaster LCD monitor. I have recently noticed that my picures look different when viewing with Picture Viewer than when the same picture is opened in Photoshop. The photoshop version is much lighter while the pic viewer version is darker. I want to make sure of what I'm sending to my online printers. Do I have color setting wrong? My color setting in Photoshop are: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, Dot Gain 20%, and Dot Gain 20%. And preserved embedded profiles for RGB, CMYK, and Gray. Is the problem with calibrating my monitor, and if so, do you know of any free calibration software? I'm on a budget.
I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Well, it surely is a problem with your monitor settings, but, forgive me for saying this, mentioning "sending stuff to the printers" and then asking for free calibration software is a bit naive. If Adobe Gamma, the settings in PS itself and the color calibration in Windows don't cut it, then your system is seriously bent in terms of color and some other steps are required first.
a) reset your monitor to its default color temperature and brightness
b) get rid of any color tweaking your graphics card may introduce
With a clean slate, create a color reference image (pure colors, grayscale gradient) with all color calibration turned off and see how it looks at the system level and in PS. Now you can begin to adjust settings everywhere and re-enable color profiles until the results match in sRGB space.
The rest is pretty much unpredictable. Unless you gain access to the exact color profiles of the target device (the printer) and your monitor is properly hardware calibrated, there will always be minute variations. The only thing you can do is to solely rely on your visually aligned sRGB setup and have all color profile adjustments and color space conversions done at your printer. However, even that's assuming you do not wander too far off the default values and the sRGB is indeed "intact".

Printer Windows look different

I have 2 win7 pro machines connected to a Ricoh 2550 printer. When we print, our print windows look very different different. My window has the option to choose color and my associates does not. I installed the printer the same way on both machines.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Since the issue do not occur in the other machine, you may compare the different settings between them to narrow down the cause.
In addition, can you capture a screenshot of the print dialog box for further research?
This issue should be related with printer driver.
1. You may reinstall or update the printer driver to the latest version.
2. Manually clear and reset print spooler queue:
   a. Open Services, and stop the Print Spooler service.
   b. Navigate to the folder below, and open the PRINTERS. C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS
   c. Click/tap on Continue and Yes (if prompted by UAC) to approve opening the PRINTERS folder.
   d. Open Services, and start the Print Spooler service.
3. Edit the registry, remove all registry entries from below key:
   a. Start Registry Editor if it is not already open. To do this, click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
   b. Locate and then expand the following registry key to view the list of subkeys:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
After that, please try to reinstall the printer again.
I also would like to share the following link with you to check the issue:

Swing applet looks different in browser than in applet viewer

I'm developing an applet using Net Beans 5.0. When I run the applet in the applet viewer I get a totally different look and feel than when I run the applet in a web broser. The background colors are different, the buttons are a totally different style and color, and some buttons that show up essentially transparent in the applet viewer are totally opaque in the browser.
The applet viewer is the one that looks like the interface that I designed in the Net Beans GUI builder, so can anyone tell me how I make it look the same in a Web Browser?

It looks like you're right, so how do I ensure that
my applet will look the same on different versions of
JVM? There's got to be a way, right??yes. you should look into javas pluggable look and feel system.
the cross-platform (java) look and feel changed dramatically between versions 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5.
however, if you use another look and feel, such as motif, or perhaps your system's look and feel (windows, mac, etc), the program should look pretty much the same (perhaps a little different, but not like the differences in the Java look and feel).
if you want to be COMPLETELY sure that they will always look the same, select a third party look and feel that comes packaged in a jar file that you are free to distribute with your applet.
Some good third party look and feels are JGoodies Plastic, and Incors Alloy. And there are others.
if you use one of those, it should look pretty well the same on all platforms, and in all JVM's.

IWeb looks different in program than published on web

I understand that some of the Fonts I use to create in iWeb won't necessarily translate the same to all computers....but why is the spacing getting messed up as well? This happens most frequently when I use textboxes or pictures in frames, set them to 'Floating,' and arrange them how I want them to look on the page....but then when the site publishes they look totally different online than they do in my iWeb.
How can I at least keep them consistent?? Help!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. For maximum font compatibility across different computers you should use Web Safe Fonts. Otherwise if a computer doesn't have that font it will substitute one which may not fit the layout.
An alternative is to apply a drop shadow to the text box and set its opacity to zero. That will convert it to an image file which will display the same on all computers. If you have iWeb's preferences set to indicate text boxes that have been converted this is what you'll see in iWeb:
Click to view full size
However, it will add "weight" to the page causing it to load slower in browsers. That should be avoided if at all possible.
OT

Printed file looks different...

When my files print, some of the text shows up as a different weight even though they are all set to the same weight in indesign. For instance when I print a magazine spread, I have all the text set to book but the first paragraph when printed looks light and the second bold and only the third looks as it should. The only thing I can think of is that a graphic is somehow messing me up.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? Thanks!

This is a known effect on low-resolution printers. You can put a small transparent object out of the way on the master page and it may make them all consistent, though a bit bold. It's also important to keep text above transparency or effects in the stacking order.

Looks different in browser than in Dreamweaver, why?

Hi all,
I'm trying to get used to Dreamweaver CS3 after moving from GoLive (and its simple, easy layout grids) and can't even get a simple table to behave the way it looks while editing.
Here's what I see when I'm editing:
http://yarnlady.com/in.dreamweaver.jpg
And here's how it looks in a browser (Safari on OSX for me):
http://yarnlady.com/index-test.html
You'll notice a white strip above the banner, even though I've been careful to set everything I can find to align top, not wrap, etc.
To beat the dead horse once more... why did I have to give up the layout grid that I've been using been since CyberStudio?
Thanks so much in advance!

Remove the P tags from this line (Hilited in red), no need to center the banner if the banner and table are the same width. The P tags will cause your white space in a browser.

Page looks different in Dreamweave than online...why?

This is a fairly basic question, but it's driving me nuts! When I look at my menu in dreamweaver, it looks like this:
But when it's live it looks normal, like this:
Does anyone know why that happens? I think it has something to do with the
position: relative
in the menu DIV tag but it's the only way I know how to position the menu where I want it.
Also, what is that black box off to the left side in the first screen shot? I can't find anything in my code that would create it. Here is the style sheet code (still a work in progress, please bear with me):

Images look different in Lightroom than in Windows viewer

I just bought a new NEC monitor, but had this problem with my old monitor too. I'm actually guessing its not a monitor issue at all.
When I view and edit an image in Lightroom then export it as a JPG it looks way more red and more saturated in windows viewer than in lightroom. My monitor is calbrated using a Spyder2. Is there a way to make my windows viewer have the same color? I hate having to open another application to review the edits.
Thanks

Well, yeah, but you could export in sRGB and get a lot closer.
What’s the old saying? Close only counts in atom bombs?
Saving sRGB may get “closer” but it doesn’t ensure a match. Only using ICC aware applications can get us to that goal. And assuming someone, like myself is using an extended gamut display, something far closer to Adobe RGB (1998), an sRGB image in a non color managed app will look butt ugly. So no, this is not a solution. Using ICC aware software to view your images IS!

Page looks different in Dreamweaver than browser with no errors!

My url is uchargeproject.com and the site looks horrible in Dreamweaver, but fine in my browser. I have also checked for errors with http://validator.w3.org/ and my site has only one now but still it doesn't work! (also why does it say height is not an attribute?)

When I look at your page in DW's Design view with CS6 (10.8.3/Mac), it looks pretty much the same as it does in the browser.
The page is much too wide, though. If you are targeting a general demographic (i.e., not a specialty one) then your page should be about 980px wide - no wider (since 1024 is still pretty much a lowest common screen size).
Which version of DW are you using?

Why does my flash image viewer look different in firefox than in IE...

So I have created a horizontal spry bar that overlaps a flash image viewer slide show. When i load the page in IE everything works fine, but as soon as you open it in firefox it works improperly...you can hit refresh in firefox and sometimes it resizes the image I don't understand how that is possible....if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You need to be aware of the limitations of the various browsers and make sure you use web-safe fonts and colors.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/FontsandColors.html
Do a Command A on all your pages in iWeb to make sure that objects/text boxes are not touching or overlapping.
Firefox has problems with displaying drop shadows/frames etc.
To get help with specific issues you would need to tell us the URL of our site.

Why does Firefox 4 look different on xp than Win 7. Some of the features described in the intro are not showing up like the firefox button top left.

When I loaded the new version on my office computer running Win 7 it looked like the promo but when I upgraded my other computers running xp it looks more like the earlier versions. What is the story people!!!

Try turning off the menu toolbar
* Use keyboard keys '''Alt''' then in turn '''V , T , M'''
Note the menubar may be temporarily turned back on by using the Alt key even if the '''orange''' ''"Firefox Button"'' is displayed.
Firefox 4 probably by default does not dislplay the bookmarks toolbar, and will display the Tabs on top.
There are other changes; and some users do not like them, but in most cases firefox 4 can be made to look and work like firefox 3.6 if required.

Font on Facebook looks different on Firefox than IE?

On IE, the font looks clearer, darker and smoother but on Firefox it looks bigger, fader and rigid. Why?
I previously fixed this problem by tweaking the about:config on Firefox. Changed the value of
gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode to 0.
But now it doesn't work anymore. I am using Windows 8 OS.

How it looks on IE and Firefox respectively:
