Problem playing an swf file created in Bridge

Hello everyone
I have created an web gallery using Bridge and tried playing a swf file containing the slideshow with no luck. When I double-click the file, it open an Adobe Flash Player window but a spiral appears at the centre and just keeps turning. Because my intention is to upload the swf file to a website, I really need to get the file to play the slideshow.
Has anyone succeeded in making a standalone swf file using Bridge or any other Adobe product? If so, please let me know how to.
Thank you,
Pom

Henk,
I'm not on 3.0 so I can't help you out, but I would suggest re-posting on the Enterprise Administration portion, perhaps it'll get more notice there for a resolution.
Thanks,
John

  • Flash player can't play a .swf file alone

    I've have a weird issue regarding flash.
    I used Flash CS5 to create an interactive presentation. Everything works perfectly.
    My problem is, for some unknown reason, everytime I try to open a stand alone .swf using flash player, the player always opens my interactive presentation instead  and tries to load the .swf INTO it. Using the finder's info window, when I do select a .swf, I get the information all my .swf have been changed to "interactive presentation files", and the default application assigned to open these files is my own presentation.
    I can manually change these settings to select Flash player or Flash CS5 back as the default application for all .swf's, but as soon as I close the info window, the files immediately becomes "interactive presentation" files again, so Flash player insists in openning the fiels inside my presentation.
    There's a permanent way to fix this?
    I'm using a Mac Intel core duo 2.
    EDIT: I temporarily solved the problem deleting all copies of my presentation's projector. The flash player atemmpted to use another presentation instead to open .swf files, so I deleted that one too. After that, now plays the .swf files as normal. The only problem is, if for any reason I do re-install any of my interactive presentations proyectors, Flash player  immediately tries to use them to play the .swf's... so the problem really remains unsolved.

    The web flash player does not play stand alone .swf files on your computer.

    Yes, I have an idea.  The Media Manager video streaming is nowhere near ready for prime-time and should not have been released in its current buggy version.
    I've had it through beta testing and it has NEVER consistently imported and subsequently played many of my videos, despite being in a supported format.  I don't see any progress being made on this, but they released it anyways.

  • I've installed Flash Player, why can't I play a swf file?

    I'm trying to play a swf file in Windows 7. I've been able to do this before many times, using Flash Player, but it doesn't work now. I've recently done a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and my apps, and this is the first time I've tried to play a swf file since then.
    When I double-click a swf file, I get the "Windows can't open this file" dialog box. If I select "Use the web service..." it takes me to the Adobe website Flash Player installation page. (I've installed it previously, and I've installed it - twice - today.) If I select "Select a program from a list...", the list doesn't include Flash Player, though it does allow me to play the file in a browser.
    Some of my swf files I created with Captivate, and published them with an html file. When I open the html file, the swf file plays properly. Shouldn't I be able to play the swf file in the player, without opening the html file?
    Should I be able to see the player in my start menu programs, or in the Programs folder? I can't find it on my computer. Is there something else I need to install?

  • Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?

    Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?
    ...also, do you need Flash Player 10 to play these files?

    Just did some testing here, and Flash Professional definitely does not like Catalyst projects. Importing to the stage failed silently (gotta love that), while Import to Library appeared to work - I got a MovieClip in my library. However, the clip is empty. I'd guess it is as Chris said, having to do with the fundamental differences in the Flex framework from the way Flash Pro works.
    As this did spark my curiosity, I decided to give loading the Catalyst-created project into a Flash Pro project at runtime using ActionScript. I was able to at least get the Catalyst content to appear through this method, but the effects (in this case, a simply button with a Rotate3D effect applied) was a mess.
    So the simple answer is "no".

  • Is it possible to play a swf file over html, but still be able to click on the html site below?

    I have a website built in html, with normal clickable content - a few buttons scattered around the centre.
    An absolute positioned div sits on top of the site and plays a swf file which moves out of view and stops. I have set everything to transparent and the user can see the site below as it is revealed.
    But once the swf file has moved off screen, none of the content is clickable (as I suppose the flash object is still there).
    I've no idea if this is normal, or if there is a work around so that the user can reach the html content below after the anim has moved out of the way... ?

    I'm sorry I wasn't very clear. When I just try to open the SWF file by double clicking it, it opens in FireFox and it is resized to fit the screen.  When I open the html file that flash provides it looks great, it is the perfect dimensions.  There is probably no way to make the swf file limit it's size when it is opened by itself, I just wanted to hear someone say it.

  • Can you play/view swf files on adobe air for android?

    Hi, yes; I'm new here, as well as to Adobe Air, and I'm still trying to learn the ropes around here, and I apologize in advance if this has already been asked, or I have placed this question in the wrong forum.
    The thing is, I was wondering if it was possible to play my SWF files via adobe air for android; and if so, how? Thanks in advance either way.

    Can you please give directions where can i clear that cash.
    Anyway i don`t think its the case, because this is first time i hooked phone to internet, and first time i launched Android app store.
    Edit:
    I went to https://market.android.com and there is Adobe air app. But when i try to download it says that my device doesn't support it (Samsung Galaxy GT-I5500) By default it comes with android 2.1 and doesn't support Adobe air, but i upgraded firmware to 2.2.
    Maybe that is the reason it doesn't show me Adobe AIR in app store - based on my phone, not my Android version ?

  • Problems running local swf files

    I recently developed problems running local swf files in
    Internet Explorer. This was working previously but recently it
    stopped working. Any ideas why the local files no longer work and
    how I can correct it?

    Hi Aquasue and welcome to our community
    In addition to the usual suspect fellow Adobe Community
    Expert Steve pointed out, the Flash player itself may be to blame.
    If you recently upgraded to the latest version (8 I believe) it
    imposes security particularly when using .SWFs locally.

  • Differences between the 2 ways to play local swf files in flash player

    There are 2 ways to allow the flash player to play local swf files:
    Add the directory/file of the swf to the Global Flash Player Trust directory. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-7c95.html
    Add the directory/file of the swf to the Trusted Location Settings in the Local Settings Manager.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l#WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7fea
    Adobe doesn't mentioned in the document what's the differences between these 2 methods, and they look has the same effect. But when I'm doing it on OS X, Safari 6.1, the first method doesn't work (It was working when I was using Safari 6.0). And then I tried method 2, it works…
    So I'd like to ask what are the differences between these 2 methods to play local swf files?

    For playing local SWF files, Download the Macintosh Flash Player 11.9 Projector
    It's a standalone app. Just copy it to your Applications folder. Launch it, and drag the SWF to the Dock icon. It'll play.

  • Playing interactive swf files in instructor led class

    We are putting together an instructor led online course.  The problem we keep running into, is that when we import a .swf file when we do share document, the files comes up for all to see, but anybody (teachers, stuidents, facilitator) can click on any of the buttons and everyone only sees what is on their screen as opposed to what the instructor is trying to show.  If we switch to share instructors screen and select application, it works - everyone sees what the instructor sees and only the instructor can hit different buttons - which is what we want - however the quality of the .swf file gets distorted grainy and plays really slow.  Does anybody have any solutions - is there a capability that I missed?

    If you are using custom created SWF files make sure that you are building it to the guidelines given for the Collaboration SDK found here, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobeconnect.html.
    You will be able to sync the file across all attendees in the room by doing the steps provided in that documentation. Otherwise, if you are using Captivate or Presenter, it should automatically sync.

  • Buttons to play external swf files

    Hello
    I know what to do but I do not know how to do it.
    I want to make some tutorial movies available to users. I
    have about 12 little swf files that were created in camtasia, I
    would like to make them available though a single player instance.
    Here is some AS2 I understand:
    var btnLoadM1:mx.controls.Button;
    //I know I can set the lable of the button, so I must be able
    to set other attributes
    btnLoadM1.label = "Name of Button";
    var mcHolder:MovieClip;
    var oLoader:Object = new Object();
    oLoader.click = function(){
    mcHolder.loadMovie("learning.swf");
    mcHolder._x = btnLoadM1.width + 5;
    mcHolder._y = 0;
    mcHolder._xscale = 90;
    mcHolder._yscale = 90;
    btnLoadM1.addEventListener("click", oLoader);
    This defines one button and loads a movie into a movie clip
    when the button is selected. I want to take all of the specific
    references in the oLoader out, but to have it play a movie which
    has all of its parameters sent by the button which references the
    movie.
    I would like to extend this to include a link to a pdf file
    which could also be made available at the same time as the relevant
    movie was being played.
    any help much appreciated

    Yes...I have published the app and have tested with the same
    result. I am relatively new to flash but have used the getURL
    function in another app which worked. For some reason neither the
    getURL function nor the MovieClip window object worked. Could this
    be a scope problem? The code is included in a datagrid object
    inside a slide of a multi-slide application.

  • Problem with import SWF file

    I am trying to import a SWF file that i have exported from indesign CS5, as i want to create a pdf that has interactive page curl and page turn.
    But whenever i reimport the file it is really low resolution.

    I agree with Steve, you really should think is it absolutely necessery to try to place your SWF into PDF... you probably will face some problems if you do that.
    If you really must, you have to understand some basic rules about working with palced SWF (and videos too) in InDesign.
    The pixelated image you see above is not actual SWF. It´s an element called poster. When you place a SWF or video to your layout in InDesign, you may choose a poster for it. It´s kind of placeholder for actual SWF or video and will be shown when actual content is not playing. InDesign uses poster also as an appearance for your SWF/video file while you are working with your layout. InDesign can´t show actual SWF/video content in working area.
    You have few options how to define your poster. The most popular one is to grab it from SWF or video file. You can choose any frame to be used as a poster. Except that poster is not that frame itself, it´s a "screenshot" of that frame. Which means of course a risk that it may be pixelated at some point. Resolution you will define in Export SWF window´s Advanced tab effects to posters too. So be careful with lower resolutions if you want to avoid pixelation.
    Another, and IMO more professional method is to use good quality image as a poster. You can prepare your poster image in any regular image editing software.

  • Slow playing back swf files

    Hello,
    I am running OSX 10.4 11 server and have an internal web site I am running. It's on a G4 Xserve with 4GB of RAM. Not that many people access the internal site so I don't think it's the load, but I guess you never know.
    anyhow, I created this swf file about 400k and they are very slow opening and playing back.
    any clues on what it may be or what I can check?
    Thanks,

    The way your doing it now can get really confusing over time.
    save  a reffrence in an object or an array that would indecate to you if it  was loaded allready or not for example the full switch you have up there  could of been this instead:
    1. give your clips there URL so you don't need to ask for it again if your working with movielclips for your buttons or if you created a class for them just give it a public var such as 'actionURL'
    so for example
    btn1.actionURL = 'link1';
    btn10.actionURL= 'link10';
    now that everything knows what it loads all is left is for you to now follow after things
    1. when the buton is clicked you can ask itself what is the url e.target.actionURL
    2. you can then have a flag (boolean value such as isInTransition) that lets you know if there is an animation going on
      2.1 there is no animation so lets load it up
      2.2. ther is an animation so lets save the data and wait for the animation to complete before we start the load
    and thats about it
    if you want to save a reffrence to if the clip was loaded or not you can save your result in many ways one of them could be an object/array that holds everything that was loaded already
    var oLoaded:Object= {};
    onLoadNewItem(e:Event):void{
       if(!oLoaded[e.target.actionURL]){ i was never loaded before
           oLoaded[e.target.actionURL] = new Loader(....
       }else{
           oLoaded[e.target.actionURL] //here is my loader do with it what ever you want to do
    hope this hit the nail on the head
