Problems with embedding swfs into Director 11.5

Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me and please bear with me - I don't know a lot about director - I can do some Lingo and get around in the program to make things work.
Right now I am working on an interactive presentation where the user can click a button to view an animation. I am using Director 11.5 for my presentation and have made my animations in After Effects CS3 -- from there I converted my .mov files to .flv files using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4... then I took my .flv file into Flash and published it as a swf file.
The problem that I am having is that when I play the presentation (within Director and after publishing the .app/projector file) the swf files are playing - but there is all this glitchy-artifact stuff all over them. Does anyone know why this would be happening? When I play the swf files in the flash player they look great. Before, when I was using Flash MX and Director MX, I never had any problems with embedding my swf animation files - and they played great - without any artifact. Any and all help would be much appreciated as this project is due in the next few days and I would prefer to figure out a solution rather than uninstalling Flash CS4 and Director 11.5 - and going back to MX.
I toyed with the thought that my video card isn't good enough but I tested the .app file on another machine and the glitchy-artifacts were still there. I have attached a jpg showing the artifact that appears.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.7
Dual 2 GHz G5 PowerPC
ATI Radeon X800 XT
Thank you!

Sorry... here is the image again and I think the problem might be my machine -- it is very old (~4+ years) and when I tested my .app on a newer intel mac here it worked fine... but maybe I am missing something -- it seems odd that I can see the swf fine in flash player but it is glitchy when played through director or the .app projector file

  • Problems with embedding .flv files in DW CS4....

    I inserted an .flv file into my DW CS4 html page. I previewed it in my browser, and it worked for a little bit, but now it's not working in any browser, I'm not sure what happened. I included a screen shot in the attachments of what was happening in all the browsers.

  • CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing

    I'm creating CR 2008 reports with embedded SWFs as described in the whitepaper [EMBEDDING XCELSIUS 2008 VISUALIZATIONS IN CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/product/catalog/crystalreports/cr_xc_integration.pdf].
    From CR, I can export the report to html and view the report fine. But when I export to pdf, ppt, etc. The SWFs are not viewable. Is this a bug or by design?
    This section of the white paper seems to imply that maybe you cannot export to pdf:
    >TECHNICAL DETAILS

    Also, I downloaded [CR Viewer 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports_viewer/] and can see the CR reports I've created with embedded Xcelsius swfs.
    Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

    > ... it states in your first post, the export is not supported,
    True. It says:
    > Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
    But I can export such reports to html and view and print the flash objects.
    It seems inconsistent to me. I can export static flash charts to pdf, yet I cannot export dynamic flash charts to pdf, which is from Adobe, as is Flash?
    I'm hoping this is a temporary bug either in Crystal or pdf reader and is to be fixed in a patch release. Or an explanation of why the limitations exist.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Embedding swf into Flex Desktop Application size/scale problem.

    Hello,
    I am embedding an swf animation into my desktop Flex desktop application. I am using SDK 4.6.0. I use the SWFLoader to embed the animation:
    <s:SWFLoader source="img/mch_anim_1.swf"/>
    When I run the application, the animation is loaded and is working, but when I try to maximize the window there is a size/scale bug that happens. The screen  stays half-side maximized (maximized to the top, bottom and stays until the middle of the screen by side).
    I've published the SWF for Flash Player 8 and Actionscript 2 just to test and there was no problem with the size/scale, but I need to use Actionscript 3.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    I found the problem!
    There was a line of code that was auto-generated from using a template out of Flash CS6. The line of code that caused it is:
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
    After deleting it, everything is now working properly.
    Greetings!

  • 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" />

  • Embedded swf in director on touch screen - double tap required

    There is a known problem with swf's with nested mc's embedded in a director projector when used on a touchscreen (with dragmode enabled)
    I've found many threads referring to the problem (here's some), but none of the solutions suit my particular situation.
    http://www.directorforum.de/threads/54055-Flash-within-touchscreen
    http://www.directorforum.de/threads/52818-Mouse-events-for-Flash-Object-in-Director-on-tou chscreen
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/159381?tstart=0
    Basically, the problem is that flash requires a mouseRollOver event to give the focus to the mc, before it registers an onPress. With a touchscreen, where the cursor is disabled, the first click and release on the swf (or nested mc's) reads as an onRollOver event, and the user must click again to register an onPress and onRelease. This leads to very confusing behaviours in my application where I have dots (embedded mc's)  being created when an image is touched, then the dots can be clicked and dragged, or double tapped to be removed.
    All works fine when the mouse and cursor is used, but I can't get it to work using a single tap on the touchscreen. In some cases I can get away with using onRollOver but when used with startDrag I can't think of a way of stopping the drag when the user lifts their finger. (which doesn't register as an event)
    What I need is an AS2 script that forces a click event (onPress) when the user taps the button once. Unfortunately I only know AS2 so can't use mouseEvents from AS3. I've spent days on this (after I thought I'd got all the bugs out) and have run out of ideas. Any suggestions appreciated please

    Managed to get around it along the lines of: this[my_name].onRollOver = function()
    pressAction(my_name);
    }; this[my_name].onPress = function()
    pressAction(my_name);
    }; where pressAction() starts the drag and sets dotName and a flag to record if its using the rollover or press.
    then on the base movieclip... this.onMouseUp = function()
    this[dotName].stopDrag();
    };

  • 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.

    No. I mean that the Flex framework makes certain assumptions about the environment it is running in -- like having a stage to work with. The Alert function, for example, works by creating a sprite and adding it to the Flash display list. Since your embedded SWF is not on a stage, there's no way for it to work.
    You can can possibly use certain non-visual parts of the framework, such as the rpc package, but I can't guarantee it.

  • Whitespace problem with embedded tables

    I have a datastructure with embedded groups. In my RTF template, I am using a table for each of these groups, and embedding them likewise. When I load my data, however, and view it, there is a random, undesirable amount of whitespace between where one table ends and where its parent table ends.
    To try to make it more clear:
    "TEXT in inner table"
    ----------------------------------------- (End of inner table)
    (Random Gap Here)
    "Text in outer table"
    ----------------------------------------- (End of outer table)
    The Size of the gap seems to depend on how much space is left on the page. If there is just enough data to fill a page, it will all fit nicely, exactly how I want it. If a page does not contain much data, then the gap gets really big, as if it was trying to cover the entire page.
    Anyone else run into this problem?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks very much!
    Before, I had a separate table for each group. When it was all said and done, I had about 5 levels of table embedding. YUCK!
    Now I made one big table (1x1) and only used tables where I couldn't get by with plain indenting. The most table embedding that is going on now is individual tables within the large 1x1 table. This method proves much more flexible and elegant.
    Thank you very much ashee1,

  • Problems with embedding artwork

    I am having problem embedding artwork into mp3 files; I was doing this manually by highlighting the tracks on an album and then click and dragging the album artwork into the artwork box in the bottom left hand side of the iTunes window. When I went back into the album folder the tracks were embedded with the artwork, this is no longer happening. The artwork is appearing in the iTunes window when either selecting ‘Now Playing or Selected Item’ but it is not showing in the folder so when playing on other network devices or an IPod the artwork is not showing. What has changed to stop this. Thanks in advance

    Whoops, I posted this in the wrong place. Sorry! How do I move it?

  • 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.

  • Mail problem with embedded images and links

    Since Yosemite Apple Mail seems to have a problem with images that are used as a hyperlink to a website.
    While links are clickable with external loaded images work fine, links with embedded images just do not anything. Clicking on them selects them, a double-click opens the image in Preview.
    This works:
    <a href="https://www.google.de"><img src="https://www.google.de/images/srpr/logo11w.png" alt="Google Logo"></a>
    This does not work:
    <a href="https://www.google.de"><img src="cid:logo_google" alt="Google Logo"></a>
    Can you reproduce this problem?
    We tried it with OS X 10.10.1 and 10.10.2

    After a bit of digging around I think I have found the reason for the EO being called prior to the CO. In the parent page CO, there is a transaction commit (oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean).getTransaction().commit();).
    Therefore, I assume that as my custom AM is a child of standard AM where the transaction is being commit, the child AM is sharing the same transaction/session and hence the EO being called.
    I am running into issues with moving the validation to the EO as the validation requires visibility of the VO values to calculate a total value. Therefore is there a way to ensure that my custom AM maintains a separate database session/transaction to the parent/standard AM? Is it possible to break the parent/child relationship?
    This way I assume that the commit issued by the parent page CO will not affect my custom AM/EO.
    Cheers.
    Jon.
