Printing SWF files as part of HTML page
Hi,
Can anyone help? I have created a bar graph application in
Flash (Flash player 7 or later), that is part of a XHTML page. When
I press print, within the web browser the XHTML page, the Flash bar
graph part of the page doesn't print.
Does anyone know why this is? And ideally offer some some
solutions.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Alex Patrick
There is no requirement to move the database files as part of the upgrade. This is simply provided as an option

How can I have a Flash SWF file to load a HTML page?
I'm looking for a way to have Flash (CS5) to load and display a very simple HTML web page. Basically, the SWF file would be a standalone document sent by e-mail (or people would post on their web pages), and this SWF would display the content of another web page (consisting mostly in a live video on a black background)
How can I have Flash CS5 to do that??
Thank you!
-svYeah maybe I wasn't clear enough... Here's the big picture.
I run a live TV station, broadcasting 24/7 on the web via a Flash application (a projector basically). The video feed is streaming on my site, as well as on numerous web sites across the net. A Flash projector is also available as a standalone application, people download and use it to watch the movies without opening a web page.
I am currently changing the broadcast method, from Flash stream to HTTP stream. But since my TV is already posted and linked in many places, I want to change the Flash object on my server with a new one, that has a HTTP stream instead of the Flash stream. It seems that HTTP stream cannot be embedded in a SWF, but it can be displayed on a HTML web page. The solution I came up with is to have a HTML page to load in the Flash player. All I would need to do is to have that HTML page to display the HTTP stream.
So from there, most of my audience would not need to change anything to watch my streaming TV, while those who downloaded the old Flash projector would need to download a new one. -

I can not print only a selected part of a page
I have reset the print.print_printer and still can't print only the selected part of a page. I highlight what I want to print and use control P to get to the printer setup. Then I click the selection button and then OK. The preview screen shows what would print but the page has blank space above what was selected. This has only started to happen since the upgrade to FF 11.0. I have tried the same operation using IE and it works fine. please, is there a fix for this??
Hi jweigh,
This is a known bug. You should take a look at this thread:

Embedded swf "jumping" when scrolling an html page
Hello!
I have created a banner file in Flash and when embedding an swf file on the html page the swf banner appears to be "jumping" up and down when the page is longer and needs to be scrolled. This only happens when scrolling the page.
I put up an example here:
www.selkografiikka.com/test/coaching4.html
You can see the black swf box jumping towards the red dots when scrolling.
This turns out to be a problem on a website I'm working with since it's creating a rather nervous vibe to the whole feel of the site - example here:
http://www.selkografiikka.com/tindra/index.htm
Any ideas what's causing this?
I am using Dreamweaver and Flash cs3.
It seems to be a problem in all the browsers.Thank you Jon and Nancy for your replies.
Sorry it took me a little while to figure out how to reply here.
I’m happy this is not a problem on each computer according to your replies.
I believe Java Script would be more up to date way of doing this, but the original idea was more complicated – with animated text and such so that’s why flash. I thought just to make a static picture that will show in ipads and such when flash is not supported.
I can still see that jumping thing although I updated my flash player and otherwise have just the same browser versions as Jon.
I might consider switching the animation part to javascript animation.
Thank you guys!

Preview prints lose the bottom part of the page
Yesterday, after doing an update (which only updated iTunes, so it's probably not what caused the problem), I found that all print jobs from Preview (and a few other programs that I've tried) are missing roughly the bottom 1 cm of the page. I've grovelled through all the settings and preferences that I can find, and I've made various other things change, but no matter what I do, nothing makes the bottom line of text appear on the paper.
Preview shows all the text, including the bottom line, and when I use the "PDF" button to "Open PDF in Preview", it shows the page with the bottom text. But when I print the page, the bottom line is blank.
The printer is remote, controlled by CUPs on a machine down the hall. When I scp a PDF file to the server and print it there, it prints fine, and the bottom lines are always included. Then when I go back to my Macbook Pro and print exactly the same PDF file on the same printer, the bottom line is again missing. This shows that it's not a problem with the printer or the server's CUPS software; it's gotta be something on my Macbook Pro that changed.
The usual disclaimer applies: I haven't (knowingly ;-) changed any print-related setting recently. (We've all heard that one before, right? ;-) Since the problem appeared, I've of course changed lots and lots of settings, trying to find something that affects the problem. But the most recent change before this problem appeared was a couple of months ago (when another upgrade broke all remote printing, and I had to delete all the printers and reinstall them).
A possible clue is that, when I use Safari to load a PDF from http://localhost/..., the page shows as usual, and I get the same drop-down from CMD-P that shows a preview that has the entire page. But when I print it, the entire page is shifted vertically so that the top title line of text is missing - and the bottom line has only its upper half, with the bottom part of all the characters missing. Again, the blank strip at the bottom is roughly 1 cm. Actually, a quick check with a ruler says that it's 12 mm. But I don't know how to use this info, or how to tell Safari to fix the missing title line. The missing bottom half of the bottom line seems to say that it's not that the PDF has something wrong that suppresses the text entirely; it would seem to say that somebody is deciding to impose a 12-mm bottom border for some unknown reason.
Any idea where I should look to fix this problem? Is there a relevant troubleshooting guide somewhere that I should know about?
(It sure would be nice to have a known way to say "Just print exactly what's on the Preview page; don't try to do anything clever with it." ;-)That doesn't sound quite right. Tests on the server shows that the printer (HP L7680) can in fact print up to within 3 mm of its edges. The test pages show this, and assorted tests with "real" PDF pages in the past have verified it. It worked from my Macbook up to a few days ago, and tests from the server show that the printer hasn't lost the ability to print close to the edges. In fact, my wife printed a page from her iMac a while ago, and it showed stuff (images and border lines) up to about 4 mm from the edges. It's only from my Macbook Pro that suddenly the bottom 12 mm gets blanked out.
Actually, I did try a test from the server with the "borderless" setting. The software enlarged the image to be bigger than the page, for some reason that I don't understand, but the result was that the printer printed right up to the very edge of the paper; there was ink visible on the edge of the sheet. So the idea that the printer "can't" print close to the edge is wrong. The printer doesn't have a problem here; it's being told by some software on my Macbook Pro to blank out the bottom edge.
I just tried another test of this: I told Preview on the Macbook to print the page at "Scale: 120% ", and checked "No automatic page scaling". Preview showed the text going off the page at the top and right edge, The ink stopped about 3 mm from the top and right edges. But the bottom 12 mm, including the bottom line of text, was blanked out. This, plus the tests on the server, shows that the printer can print up to 3 mm from the edge of an 8.5x11 inch page. And earlier tests that produced the bottom line with only the top half of the characters shows that it isn't just dropping the bottom line; Something on the Macbook is explicitly blanking out the bottom 12 mm (but not doing the same on the top and right edges.
And whatever is doing it doesn't happen on my wife's iMac; she can print close to the bottom edge.
I'm now wondering if I should uninstall the printer on the Macbook, and see if I can reinstall it to match the iMac's settings. But if the problem is something in the Macbooks system libraries that's forcing the 12-mm bottom margin, that probably won't work, either, and the "Letter" paper size settings presumably come from some library file, because it won't permit me to change those numbers.
Anyway, I'll try your suggestions, probably in the morning, and see what happens.
About the Borderless type: I find that when I try setting the Paper Size to "US Letter", it gives me another menu, with "US Letter" and "Borderless 8.5 x 11 in." entries. If I choose the Borderless, it pops up a window with a warning that this is only allowed for HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, which is in what it's set to. It says it's "not available when Paper Type is set to Plain Paper", which it won't allow me to do. (That choice is greyed out.) It seems odd that it would warn me that it won't work for a setting that it won't let me use anyway, and say that I must use the setting that I am using. Anyway, I've tried this "Borderless 8.1 x 11 in." setting, and it comes out the same as the "US Letter" choice, with the bottom 12 mm blank. Both print to nearly the top and right edge if I set the Scale to 120%.
(And that damned "Automatically rotate each page" is checked again. ;-) -
Playing SWF files each time a web page is used.
Hi Gang,
Currently using flash catalyst to create a website for work (seriously not a programmer but love creating visual art).
I have a SWF file that I want to run EVERYTIME a page is viewed, (its actually part of the page) but currently the file will run once. If you go back to the page it doesn’t run a second time. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance for your help.
ChanceDogUSAHello Tanya,
And thanks for the reply. I decided to make the video run continuously on the page which means when the page is viewed a second time, its still running giving the desired effect. Not the way I initially wanted it to look but it actually works in previews nicely.
Thanks again for ther input

When swf file ends, cut to main page
When swf file without navigation,that has been loaded into
the main timeline, finishes, I want to quickly and automatically
crossfade back to main home page with its navigation. (action
script 2 CS3.) Thank you.Try including source files instead of SWC's where possible
(the Framework, Cairngorm, etc.) - the compiler will only include
what is needed. Also consider using modules if there are parts of
the application that may be logically broken out. -
Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?
Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...

You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

How to develope a par file with a static html pages in NWDS
Hi to all,
what is the procedure to put static html pages as iviews by using programming.
In my project hierarchy where should i keep the html file, and what component should be generated? to generate a par file.
using that par i'll generate a iview and i will link to my page.
but i need a procedure to generate a portal component of this type.
if any body is having the procedure of this, or any online help documentation link u have please forward to me.
Thanks & Regards,
sireesha.Hi,
Check whether KM is installed in your server. If yes then you can view it under Content Administration>> KM content(like the Portal Content).
In that you can see the Root folder>>documents>>Public Documents. If you wish you can create your own folder or can just upload the file inside that folder.
1. to create a folder go to Folder >> new folder...
2. to upload the file click Folder>>New>>upload.. then you can browse to the local system and from there you can upload file.
The path that you have to give in the Iview shloud be like
\documents\Public Documents\<your foldername>\filename.
Hope this Helps

Can't get my embedded swf files to play in HTML file
Hi there,
I'm just wondering why my swf files won't play when I upload them along with my HTML file to the server.
The problem can be seen at the following URL:
http://marthalodge.com/productDev.html
I inserted the swf in 'insert media' - 'shockwave' and the thing works when I press play to view it within dreamweaver. However, when I try to view it on a browser, either locally or remotely, it doesn't work.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this might be happening?
Thanks,
MHi,
I did what you suggested and again, nothing shows. You can see what I did at:
http://marthalodge.com/ProdDev.html
Do you have any idea why this is happening? I don't get any error report when I publish my swf from Flash. -

You can't use flash as background because you can't place
active content into HTML background
in general. Possible only if the entire page is made in
Flash, then simply place it on the bottom
layer of the movie.
The effect you describe it done with Layers which are quite
easy if you familiar with Dreamweaver.
Let me elaborate.
You can not get beyond flash to animate beyond the canvas
boundaries (the movie size defined in your
object embed tags). These are movies that are actually with
transparent background, using WMODE parameter
to achieve that, it makes them appear like they fly all over
the HTML document while they actually just
large movies with no background. Another way to do it, is to
use Wmode and animate the layer itself
rather then making a huge movie canvas to cover the space
WMODE however is known to cause problems, from crashing
browsers to disabling actions ,screwing up buttons
etc... So be aware of it, if suddenly some of the features
stop working, you know what's the reason behind
it. That's why it's commonly use for ads only, minimum user
interaction.

Controlling sound of separate html files within the same html page.
I need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf. The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page. The following items have not worked:
soundChannel.stop();,
soundMixer.stopAll()
I think my solution may be to use ExternalInterface but I am not sure where to begin with this. Any suggestion would be appreciated.you need to use the localconnection class to communicate between swfs open at the same time by the same client.
