Problems embedding swf's in Acrobat 9.3.2

i'm having difficulty embedding a simple swf into an acrobat file.
the swf is as3 and published as fp 9 and/or fp 10 and still doesn't work.
when i click to play the movie in acrobat, it gets hung up on the preloader.
thanks.

Offical responce from Adobe
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Thank you for giving us time to work on this case.
I regret to inform you that Autodesk Inventor 2011 file formats are not
supported with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, we do not have any Future
announcements for 2011 version as of now, however the information would
be updated as soon as compatibility is announced with Acrobat updates in
the Knowledgebase document mentioned below:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_49465_en-us
I hope you understand that the issue is due to product incompatibility,
hence I am withdrawing the case
Very disapointing. Inventor 2010 files will work in Acrobat Pro extended but only up to 2009 is offically supported. From a top end package boasting 3D capabilities this is unforgivable in my opinion considering the market share Autodesk has with Inventor.
I will be recommending that our company ceases to purchase Adobe updates until they address this.

Problems Embedding swf In Site Built and "Sliced" From Photoshop CS5

Made a slide-show in Flash, and want to embed in new site that is being constructed. When using "Insert/Media/swf", or copying the code that came with the swf file, it "Splits up" the website in DW. It's like it gets cracked like a mirror. However, in the current website, which was not sliced up, and brought in to DW(Made from DW template), it simply embeds into the page and works perfectly. Not sure if this makes sense, but, it seems like I need to find a way to "Lock" all the slices or something. This is first website, as some may have guessed. Any help is appreciated.

Is this a public site? If it is can you provide a link, so that I could try?
Also, are you using AS2 or AS3?
You could anyway check the following:
Are all the security permissions given ? may be the page tries to load a local resouce instead of http and the swf is a network swf ? (just check the URL when you load the website on your computer - if its not http:// - you should be running it as http://)

Embedding SWF in a text field

Hi, New user to Flash here with a problem embedding .SWF
files. I have already existing SWF files that I have called
historically from HTML using <object> to embed the object and
<param name= value=> also to pass it information. The SWF
movie I need to embed basically builds a graph and takes its data
from the location you supply it in <param name= value=>
field. This code is not mine and I can't alter it.
What I want to do is construct a flash version of my site and
embed these graphs within a flash textfield. I have been able to
successfully embed a test SWF file using <img> tags on a text
field ---> but here is my question. How do I support the
<param name= value=> functionality I got when I called these
graphs from HTML using <object>?
I hope that's clear? Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
Tom

Tom,
> What I want to do is construct a flash version of my

> and embed these graphs within a flash textfield.
That's a really interesting approach. At first, I didn't
understand
what you were aiming for, but it sounds to me like you're
tying to use HTML
inside a Flash text field -- which is doable, to some extent
-- and embed an
external SWF in that HTML ... all within Flash.
> I have been able to successfully embed a test SWF file
> using <img> tags on a text field --->
That does work, but it's about the closest you'll get, I'm
afraid. It's
only happenstance that Flash's very narrow (and somewhat
unique) version of
HTML accepts SWFs in an <img> tag.
> but here is my question. How do I support the <param
name=
> value=> functionality I got when I called these
graphs from
> HTML using <object>?
Flash only supports a very limited subset of the HTML
language. You can
see the full list of supported tags by searching the phrase
"supported tags"
in the documentation (specifically, the Learning ActionScript
2.0 in Flash
book). For better or worse, <object>, <param>,
and <embed> are simply not
in that list.
> Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
Your only choice is to use one of the more traditional
methods of
loading external SWFs, such as loadMovie(),
MovieClip.loadMovie(), or the
MovieClipLoader class. Once your external SWF is loaded, you
may "feed" it
variables that should be detectable by the ActionScript
inside the loaded
SWF.

WAD: Problems when exporting to PDF with embedded .swf

I'm using Web Application Designer (WAD) 7 and have created a template with an "Export to PDF" button and an embedded .swf flash file which is an Xcelsius dashboard.
What i'm trying to do is show the information I want on my dashboard and then export that to a PDF to email out to multiple users who would be interested in the data each month. If exporting to PDF isn't the best route to get a snapshot of this dashboard out to other users and there's an easier way please let me know, but here are the issues i'm having:
1) When I have the dashboard showing the information I want and click the "Export to PDF" button, the dashboard reloads as the PDF settings window pops up and gets reset back to it's initial state.
2) If I ignore problem #1 and click on 'OK' in the Export dialog anyway after selecting PDF settings, my Adobe Reader pops up but then shows a message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages". Basically it doesn't see the .swf as being a component to take a snapshot of and print on a PDF. I did try adding a text component just so there was something on the template and I then get a PDF with that text component showing and no .swf snapshot.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? I've tried using the BEx Broadcaster with the 'Send' option but get the same results in regards to the blank page.
Thanks as always for the help!

Thanks for the reply.
The dashboard is connected to a query in NetWeaver BI to get its data. So the request of the user is to be able to adjust the dashboard to show the information they need (well say of a certain region) and then take a snapshot of that and email it out to co-workers in Group A. Then the user will adjust the dashboard to show other data (for a different region we'll say) and take a snapshot to email out to co-workers in Group B. etc and etc.
I have looked into installing a PDFCreator print driver but that wouldn't be feasible to get it on all machines in the business. I've also looked into getting it as a .jpeg which would suffice, but am unsure if there is a way to do it with script and connect that to the dashboard when a button is pushed (will look into this). This seems like a topic for over in the Xcelsius forum now.
I used the following code within the <body></body> tags of the WAD's xhtml to embed the .swf:
<object id="dashboard" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="600" width="800" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="Movie" value="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" />
<embed src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" name="dashboard" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>

Problem with swf embedded in textField (CS3)

Hi,
You may see the issue on the attached image.
Basically, there is a Flash movie embedded in the HTML TextFiled. The code is is as follows:
<img src="http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=2LTSFPkqZyg" width="470" height="350"></img>
 
Is there any way to make the space between embedded Flash movie above and this text more narrow ???
In case there is less line breaks ( ) the text in the last paragraph is shown truncated from the beginnng (so it's like "ny way to make the space...").
Is this a bug in Flash Player or is there any way to render text below embered swf better?
Rgs,
Ziggi

This code is working :
<H2>Dziś - David Bowie!</H2>
 <img src="http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=2LTSFPkqZyg" width="460" height="350" vspace="-70"></img> Now the text is well separated from embedded swf but is not moved down too much !
Please notice vspace parameter modifying behavior of swf object.

Problem loading .swf embedded with HTML

Please let me know what setting I should configure.

does container exit on the timeline that contains your code?
is master.swf in the same directory with your flash swf and
html?

Need help with embedded SWF in PDF as navigation

Hi,
I was wondering is there a way to have an embedded swf navigate to different pages of a pdf?
Example:
My swf is on page one. There are mulitple buttons in the swf, when clicked it will take you to page 3, or 5, or 7, etc.
Currently, when I click on a button, it DOES take me to say page 4, but the content on page is the SWF file from page 1, and not the content that is suppose to be on page 4. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
This is what I have in the flash action:
btn_1994_1.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, p1994 );
function p1994(e:MouseEvent):void{
     //addChild(pop_1994);
     doExternalInterfaceCall("gotoTarget", "pink");
function doExternalInterfaceCall(myfncall, parm)
    flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(myfncall,parm);
And this is what I have in the javascript of the pdf:
function gotoTarget(name)
     this.gotoNamedDest(name);
Please help me fix this problem.
Thanks in advanced!
ps. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro

can anyone help?

The embeded swf doesn't play...

Hi
I'm trying to embed a swf that was created with a flash gallery making program into a pdf file but it just never works properly. I've also tried converting it into pdf but that doesn't work either. Once I convert it/embed it all I see is a white/black square. However if I embed other smaller swfs most of them just work fine. Could the problem be that the swf is too large? Can anybody please figure out the problem? I've been trying everything for the past 3 days and I'm awfully desperate Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

Acrobat and OS make no difference, but the version of Flash Player that the gallery targets will make a difference - Acrobat and Adobe Reader currently won't play content designed for Flash Player 11.
The other problem can arise when the gallery is using external assets (image files, XML configuration files, etc.) as these must be available after embedding. You should attach them using the Resources tab on the Rich Media Annotation dialog box (right-click your embedded SWF in Acrobat and choose Properties), but if the gallery is written to expect certain folder structures it may not like being sandboxed inside a PDF file.

Firefox doesn't play embedded swf

I've looked on many forums, including Firefox, with no real answer. Running Firefox 4. It just doesn't play embedded SWF. My Adobe Flashplayer is up to date, so is the plugin. The page displays properly. But the area that should be displaying a movie is just represented by a tiny square. No error message appears. The same page doesn't show the movie in IE9 either.
Now from looking at the page information, it just requires Flashplayer 6 and above for the SWF area. I do have Flashplayer 10. The plugin says Shockwave Flash player 10 is up to date. Many other pages with different types of embedded movies play properly.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Video playback in embedded swf

Hi,
I'm building a website in flash catalyst that uses an embedded swf also created in catalyst. The site is for a musician, and one of the pages (states) loads a swf file that contains a list of videos the user can select and play. That swf was also made in catalyst. This works.
When I navigate away from the video page to the Bio page (for instance), the video stops playing, which is good. The problem though, is when I return to the video page, the video resumes right where it was when I left the page. This is a bit jarring... I'd really like the video to stop playing for real when the user navigates away, so that when he/she returns to the page, its in the default state... With nothing playing.
Can anyone help? I'm stuck here.
Thanks!
Craig

you need to make your own controls and you need to learn some
basic actionscript: controlling playhead movement along a timeline
is about as basic as it gets. check the movieclip gotoAndPlay(),
gotoAndStop() methods.

Issues embedding swf in pdf document?

I have created a small application to illustrate Snell's law as a flash file.
The idea is to integrate it in a online educational book and I have already done so with several simple animations.
This was to be my first application with user input other than start/stop buttons.
The application works fine in a browser or as a stand-alone flash file but when I embed it in the pdf file it doesn't execute properly, nothing happens when buttons are pushed to calculate the equations.
This is my first question here so I don't know how to add my application or an example of it embedded in a pdf document but I guess including them from a filehosting site could work?
The swf file:
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408159/Snells_Law.swf
The PDF file:
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408160/test.pdf
I used CS6 Flash professional to create the SWF file.
thanks in advance
edit: also including the original fla-file: http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/408478/Snells_Law_3.fla
By moving a piece of code up through the lines I have found that after line 377, nothing gets executed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see no syntax errors and your code works well so there shouldn't be any issue embedding it. In Acrobat XI I get a preview of the plugin required to view the SWF and I must activate the plugin (very common on windows) by clicking on it. Once I do the SWF embedded in your document works for me, although it doesn't overlap the preview which is stretched to the size of the page whereas the plugin container is the size of the original document. So it works fine for me when viewing as a PDF and if you resize it down to its original document size it should overlap the preview properly. Plugin containers often require permission/activation (a mouse click), that's normal.
I was able to target 10.1/10.2 as the SWF export target rather than FP11. You may want to try downgrading your publish preferences to that which should reduce the overhead of the plugin container. Outside that I see no reason you should have an issue embedding this. I don't have a full copy of master at home to create the PDF to test (openoffice isn't really capable of it) so you'll have to test that yourself but the PDF you linked works for me.

Need help with embedded SWF Playing

I have an embedded SWF file (A 4 photo slide show) created in Flash Professional CS5, Action script 3, flash player 10 selected.
I have placed this into the flash catalyst CS5 file. The file previews in the browser perfectly.
The problem is when published it will not start the slideshow until you refresh the browser (Safari and FireFox) the local version runs fine
the published version does not even when uploaded to the web server. www.ngambaisland.com
This site was woking properly before I made some changes to the slide show and rebuilt the file to optimize it for loading performance.
Please help if you can,
Many Thanks,
Curtis

Thanks for looking but I have tested the website on 5 different computers an the slide show only activates after you hit the screen refresh button.
I am afraid I am a bit limited in flash. You mentioned to check access settings. I used the default action script 3 settings in the publish settings.
Could you please be more descriptive as what to look for or what settings I would need to change?
Thanks for your help.
Curtis

Spark Image can't scale embedded SWF symbols?

Can anyone help me make sense of this?
Using Flex 4.5.1 (Spark only compile) I've found that the new Spark Image control works inconsistently when loading SWF at runtime and embedding SWF symbols. See these two situations:
1) OK - Spark image loads a whole SWF in runtime. Swf loads OK and scales up to desired size with perfect smooth anti-aliased edges
2) Not OK - Spark Image loads an embedded swf symbol as follows:
<s:Image source="@Embed(source='embedded/GeneralSymbols.swf' , symbol = 'komodoDragon')" x="250" y="35" height="200" />
( or using a bindable class )
And the image is pixelated and totally unusable.
It seems unfortunately that when embedding Swf Symbols ( which is a big element of the Adobe Flex - Flash - Illustrator workflow ) the "vector" images are reduced to bitmaps at their original size and don't scale.
I know spark swfLoader is a possible option - but surely it's too heavy for loading many images?

Hi Ged_mc.
Did you find the answer to this?
I'm using Flex 4.6 SDK and having the same problem. It's kind of dumb, isn't it?
Especially since I'm migrating an application from Flex 3 to 4.6 and it worked perfectly in the previous version.
Thanks!

How to make a Loadvars sendAndLoad request from embedded swf in flex

I've developed a simple flex app with embedded swf. Basically swf use Loadvars to get data from particular database table. Ok, when I tested the flex app on localhost it is works fine and embedded swf make its sendAndLoad calls correctly.
But! When it is located on the web server swf not work correctly. I meant there is not returned values by sendAndLoad method.
Well, to make some points: questionContentLoadVars.img1 holds(return) the string from php call. This "img1" is an empty returned string only in Flex app placed in the web server otherwise it returns correct value from php call?
When gameplay22.swf is standallone works!
When gameplay22.swf is in HTML page works!
When gameplay22.swf is embedded in FLex and executed in LOCALHOST works!
But in the web server this embedded gameplay22.swf doesn`t works!
What is the problem with it?
//* here is flash(swf) part of gameplay22.swf file which is embedded in the Flex by SWFLOader(gameplay22.swf)
 questionContentLoadVars = new LoadVars();
 questionContentLoadVars.onLoad = function(success){

Thanks kglag, for trying to help,
As i posted in another forum the problem was in the free flex example which i used to add another state and by using SWFLoader to embed my swf file.
Now i was created my own flex app and add SWFLoader to embed my swf and voila - it works!
There is no cross-domain loads the loaded content is in the same domain.
So, again thanks!

Embedded SWF very slow to load in browser

I have placed a swf slide show in Flash catalyst about 500k the problem is when I playback in the browser the embedded swf file displays long after the rest of the website has loaded and built. It works fine after I refresh and the file is loaded in the Cache.. but makes for a poor user experience when viewing for the first time, First impressions count.
If I place the 500k swf in Dreamweaver it loads almost instantly from the remote server.
For some reason Flash catalyst has a difficult time decoding and playing.
The flash file was built in CS5 default settings.
Any help on having the swf load first or process faster would be great.
I know that file size is a issue but 500k is not that much.
Heres the url.
