Publishing Flash and embedding

Hello everyone,
I'm afraid I'm very new to Flash and learning as I go, I'm
equally new to webdesign, so apologies in advance.
I've created a flash movie, and I've published it and got my
various files plus HTML file and my alternate JPG.
I can get the movie to work fine in Firefox but not at all in
IE, so I just want the alternate jpg to display instead. However in
the code where it says:
//end AC code
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = 'Alternate HTML content should be
placed here.'
+ 'This content requires the Adobe Flash Player.'
+ '<a href=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/>Get
Flash</a>';
document.write(alternateContent); // insert non-flash
content
I put in img src=gloworb.jpg where it prompts "alternate html
content should be placed here" and nothing happens at all. Can
anyone help?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hiya, thanks for replying. Here is the final chunk of code of
the published flash. Bold is my addition.
//end AC code
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = '
img class="absol" img src="glowing orb.jpg'
The class just relates to the positioning Ive assigned to the
main logo, and if the flash movie cant play I just want the static
regular logo to be visible instead.
Thanks

Two Questions Re: Embedding Flash and Tables Shortcut

Two Questions Re: Embedding Flash and Tables Shortcut
1) I work on a Mac and use Dreamweaver 8. Often I like to
embed Flash objects into a page and I do this by using
Dreamweaver's INSERT > MEDIA > FLASH. However, the SWF file
doesn't show up on the published web page and I’ve never had
this issue using previous versions, so I’m not sure what to
do? Here's what Dreamweaver generates when I use their INSERT
feature:
<script type="text/javascript">

It seems a bit weird that the SWF file is not showing
considering Flash & Dreamweaver are the most compatible apps,
no? I’m assuming if Dreamweaver is generating this code it
should work, no?
2) I’m getting an error when trying to use the Tables
short cut COMMAND+ OPTION+T that reads...
"While executing objectTag, the following JavaScript error(s)
occurred:

What’s strange is it was working fine last week and for
the life of me I don’t know what could of happened to make
this shortcut get corrupted?
I’ve reinstalled the app multiple times and still I get
the same error :-(
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

It works. Most likely you have not uploaded the Scripts
folder referenced
in the head of the page.

Synching Issues with Self-Paced Learning and Embedded Flash Files

Hi Everyone,
I'm having some issues with my files not properly synching or displaying when Self-Paced Learning is active.
Here is my set-up:
Captivate 5
5 separate Captivate files combined using the Aggregator
Each Captivate file is about 15 slides
Each slide contains an audio file (for closed-captioning) and a single SWF file - the content is all created with Flash and then inserted into Captivate using Insert > Animation
Each SWF file is back 1/10 of a second from the beginning of the Cap timeline (otherwise there are rewind issues when the user selects the slide they are currently viewing from the ToC)
Each embedded SWF has the beginning and ending fade built into it; Captivate is not doing any fading
Synch to Project is selected for each embedded SWF (although it doesn't seem to work all the time)
Self-Paced Learning is active, as well as, Enable Navigation
It is not being loaded to an LMS or using any built-in Captivate quiz features. These are instead custom built AS3 Flash files that are embedded.
Windows 7, 4GB RAM, 1GB Video Card, High-end Processor, etc... a beast.
The Issue:
When the user opens the course, views it for a while and then closes it and returns it will display the first slide of the course for a moment before jumping to the bookmarked slide. This slight timing misstep causes the bookmarked slide to get out of synch. It will sometimes not display the bookmarked slide at all or it will cut-off a small bit from the end of the slide (even with Synch to Project active). It sometimes works fine but randomly will break. The course is set to 100% preload and nothing is being loaded from an external location. It seems to work fine until Self-Paced Learning is activated.
I don't think this is a common development approach for Captivate but it has been very successful with some clients. Has anyone encounted similar issues or does anyone have some suggestions that might resolve this problem?
Thanks!
Greg

It's been mentioned many times on this forum that nesting Captivate SWFs inside other Captivate SWFs gives rise to all kinds of strange issues. Captivate was not designed to work this way. If you choose to do it, and you encounter issues (as you have done) there's usually NOT a lot you can do. There are just too many ways the SWFs can get into bun fights over which one does what.
I suggest you rethink your approach to avoid nesting.

Flash CC does not publish swf and html files

I'm having issues with Flash CC. When I go to publish my movie the status bar appeaers then quickly disappears and the html and swf files are not created. I'm also not able to export the movie as a quicktime or AVI file. Is there specific settings I must have to publish and export? Note: I am working with AS3 and tried to do a simpple test with a box moving left to right and I have the same problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure the HTML and SWF are not currently in use? For example if you publish and preview it in a browser, it can lock those files because they're "in use". Then Flash cannot overwrite them. You'd need to close the browser or any Flash Players displaying them. If that still won't overwrite, delete the files and see if they're re-created.
If no files are being created at all, gointo publish settings and set a path to export the SWF and HTML file to, don't leaving it at the default (same folder as FLA). Try various places in fact to test permissions.
If you're on Windows you could try running Flash CC as Administrator to also get around any file writing permission issues. Right-click on the Flash icon and select Run as Administrator.
I've only really encountered this when my SWF/HTML was in use or stuck in a process.

Adobe 'fixes' for Flash and Dreamweaver

According to what I've been reading, Adobe added fixes to
Dreamweaver 8.02 to deal with the Active Content problem created by
Microsoft when Flash animations are embedded in web pages. Since I
have an earlier version of Dreamweaver and Flash and am having
problems like everyone else with that issue, would some 8.02 user
kindly inform me if this is indeed the case, and what does one do
in the new version to ensure Flash active content runs as intended?
Is it something that one must still manually add to the code in an
.html file, is the correction added automatically, is there an icon
to press....just how is the new feature/fix used and incorporated?
I'd like to know before considering an update. Thank
you..............frank

http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dw8
Basically after you update if you add a flash file you get
this code added to the html file:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
and that folder (Scripts) and (fileAC_RunActiveContent.js)
are automatically created with your project. When you import a swf
file the code that is automatically generated is also updated with
a snippet of code to fix the AC issue:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','404','height','368','src','~movies','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macrom edia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','~movies'
); //end AC code
</script><noscript>
You dont really have to do anything other then remember to
upload the scripts folder to your server when you publish.

FLEX debugger not hitting breakpoints, because Flash sometimes embeds source file paths with wrong letter case?

I was trying to figure out why breakpoints were working fine for source files in some locations but not others. FlashDevelop's debugger (which I believe is actually the FLEXSDK debugger) was successfully connecting, tracing output, and hitting breakpoints in SOME files, but not others.
I downloaded SWFInvestigator from Adobe Labs and checked the embedded debug paths for various source files to see what was going on.
I discovered that files in which no breakpoints could be hit had their paths embedded in all lowercase (e.g. "c:\users\username\desktop\source\myproject" instead of "C:\Users\username\Desktop\source\MyProject").
So I have two questions:
First, is this a Flex debugger issue, or a FlashDevelop plugin issue? Letter case shouldn't matter or interfere with matching file paths in Windows.
Second, what could possibly influence the letter case of embedded paths in a SWF output by Flash Professional (CS6), such that they are sometimes all lowercase and other times maintain the same case from the file system? And why would that affect a debuggers ability to hit breakpoints in Windows 7? I am compiling in multiple ways. Sometimes clicking Publish within Flash. Sometimes the file being published is not even open in Flash, and my JSFL script file is passed to Flash.exe containing embedded file paths to open the document. Usually, everything seems to work fine, no matter where I publish from, regardless of whether the FLA file is open or not. I'm honestly starting to believe that it depends on how the FLA was last opened in Flash Professional, as though it saves some sort of last access path internally and uses that to embed debug information.

I don't think it's the source path in my case, because it's simply the dot ".", although I did check that because it would most likely influence the embedded paths.
In the library path, I use relative paths exclusively, since all my individual project folders exist in the same "source" folder.
Here's how I arrived at the conclusion that something more complex or "stateful" must be occuring:
I publish my files with a one-click application, which does the following
updates version timestamps (static constants) in specific files via regex match
fills in a JSFL template with the FLA filename and writes the JSFL file to disk, then passes the JSFL file path to flash.exe for publication
the JSFL then runs a command, which signals the main application via cross-process communication that the script has finished publishing
That all makes it easy for me to update and publish multiple projects and deploy them, with a single click. Here is the JSFL template I created, which has been drastically simplified since the days where it used to search to see if the file was open in Flash, select the document, and call publish. Now it just uses the publishDocument method to silently publish files without opening them.
var filepath = "FLAFILEPATH"; //template parameter: the URI (beginning with "file:///") of the FLA file to publish
fl.publishDocument( filepath, "PUBLISHPROFILENAME" );
FLfile.runCommandLine("COMPLETECOMMAND");
The C# app replaces the strings in all caps with the actual values. The COMPLETECOMMAND is actually populated with the application's own executable path, along with a "complete" switch, which lauches a 2nd instance, which handles the complete switch by broadcasting a signal over an interprocess channel and then terminates. The main instance captures the signal, triggers a wait handle, and continues with publishing the next file. Here is the core code for it:
private string fillTemplate( string fla_directory, string fla_filename, string publish_profile_name )
    string fileuri = "file:///" + Path.Combine( fla_directory, fla_filename ).Replace( '\\','/' );
    return EmbeddedResources.OpenAndPublish //JSFL template file embedded as string resource
        .Replace( "FLAFILEPATH", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( fileuri ) )
        .Replace("COMPLETECOMMAND", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( "\"" + Application.ExecutablePath + "\"" + " -publishcomplete" )) //call self with -publishcomplete switch to signal main instance's publishCompleteSignal
        .Replace("PUBLISHPROFILENAME", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( publish_profile_name ) );
private static readonly string FLASH_PATH = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\Flash.exe";
public void publish( string fla_directory, string fla_filename, string publish_profile_name )
    Program.publishCompleteSignal.Reset();
    string template = fillTemplate( fla_directory, fla_filename, publish_profile_name );
    string curdir = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
    string tempJSFLfilepath = Path.Combine( curdir, "temp_script.jsfl" );
    File.WriteAllText( tempJSFLfilepath, template );
    Process p = Process.Start( FLASH_PATH, tempJSFLfilepath );
    Program.publishCompleteSignal.WaitOne( 30000 ); //timeout after 30 seconds
Here's where it gets interesting. The FLAFILEPATH has ALWAYS been passed in as all lower case, yet this publication method has worked 99% of the time for hundreds of publish operations every day. This applies to both the publication of the first SWC, which is referenced by the second published SWF (both were being published with lowercase paths), yet the paths for the main SWF were remaining in lowercase, while those in the referenced SWC were maintaining the correct case from the file system.
So there may be any number of things going on here. SWCs may be published differently than SWFs, such that SWCs always have the correct letter case for debug source files, regardless of how the source FLA project was opened. Ensuring the path passed to publishDocument uses the right case definitely fixes the problem, but it doesn't explain why it usually worked, despite having always been passing a lowercase string. The only variable I can think of in all of this is Windows itself or Flash, such as whether the document was open in Flash at the time the silent JSLF publishDocument command ran, and how that FLA was last opened (via shortcut, via "recent documents" in Flash, via recent documents in Windows. It has to be something, even if it's something as obscure as how the folder path was last accessed in windows, although I strongly suspect it's just how (in terms of path case) the FLA was last opened in Flash.
In any case, I'm happy that passing the right case to JSLF's publishDocument command fixes the problem, so I'm not going to spend any more time trying to figure out how opening the FLA in various ways could affect the embedded debug paths. The only thing that should be done is to address how paths with the wrong case are handled when they do get embedded that way for whatever reason. Perhaps the flex debugger should be updated to use case-insensitive matches in case-insensitive file systems, unless, perhaps, this is a FlashDevelop debugger issue after all.

Exporting to Flash without embedding music files

I had to create a music player for a website, and really didn't want to make a flash player from scratch again. So I had an epiphany and opened Keynote.
I created a slideshow: the first page was a "Click on song to play" and every page after the first was a song that auto played in the background with a next, previous and home hyperlink on each. Ten minutes later I could export to Flash, open it in Safari, and had a perfectly functional flash music player; 10 points for Apple.
The only problem is that the export embeds the songs into the SWF file, making the file around 16mb. In my current setup for the website, it's not a terrible problem, but I was wondering how I would export the file to Flash (from Keynote still) so that the music loaded externally, and only when the song needed to be loaded.
I could buy a swf>fla converter and change the actionscript, but I figured some genius in the Discussions might have a trick up their sleeve.
Well, do ya?
PS: For those interested, here is the file: http://clay.bellmor.com/appledis/musicplayer
Remember, it's 16+ megs, so whip out your Activity window. I also built in a timed auto-tranisition to play the next song. Again, 10 points for Apple.

OK, I'm about at my wits end with this issue and it's only getting worse! Yesterday I did unistalls and reinstalls of both Flash and Captivate and made sure that I the proper Captivate A.S. folders copied to the Flash Classes folder...still no dice.
I then went to IT and asked for a loaner laptop to install both on to see if it might be my PC that's the problem...installed both on the laptop and export the Captivate File to Flash and published it...the audio worked! I was pumped. So went back to my PC and tried again and it didn't work. I then brought the new .FLA over from the laptop and it plays with audio fine on my PC. However the exact same Captivate project exported to Flash on my PC doesn't play the audio. I have a TON of captivate .SWFs that I need to add actions to, so if anyone can offer (even possible) solutions, I'd be grateful! Thanks!

Flash and Dreamweaver question? Please help :)

Okay, how do I make it so that if I import a .swf file, that will act as an index with buttons to the other pages of the website, into my dreamweaver project and make it so that when I click the buttons on the .swf file, it will take me to the pages I make?
Sorry if this should've been in the Flash forum

It is a flash question, but still answerable... There are two options I could suggest:
1. You can set up your links to be "absolute"... for instance, if your site is named http://www.mysite.com and you have a button named "About Me" that you'd like to link to a page named "aboutme.html", simply set up the link to go to "http://www.mysite.com/aboutme.html". *Note that this method won't allow you to test the link locally - it will only work after you've uploaded the "aboutme.html" page to your webserver.
2. Second option is: You can link to the pages locally, but be sure all of your pages are set up in the directory correctly so that links aren't broken. For instance, if you have your "index.html" with your flash navigation embedded on the page, I would recommend NOT placing the .swf file into a subfolder like "images" or something like that - keep it on the same level of your directory as your index page. Also be careful about pointing to all subsequent pages - it's easiest if all of those are also on the same level, but if you have a large site and want to organize it, be sure your navigation links reflect the directory structure. e.g., if you're going to link to "aboutme.html", and it's in a subfolder named "generalstuff", the link would look like this: "generalstuff/aboutme.html".
***Note - if you're going to use the same flash-based navigation on every page of your site, you HAVE to use either absolute links, or ALL pages need to be on the same level of your directory (no sub-folders)...
Hope that helps - good luck!

Flash and Fireworks combination

Macromedia MX: I am working on an image in Fireworks and
would like to incorporate a flash movie into this image so that I
can put it into Dreamweaver for my website. A quick example of the
image is a square inside a square (kinda like a TV set). Is there a
way to layer the Flash movie into the Fireworks image so that the
Flash movie plays inside the inner square but is not visible on the
outer square? (since it would overlap somewhat) Would I import the
image from Fireworks to Flash and work on it there, or import the
Fireworks image into Dreamweaver and insert the Flash movie there?
I am not sure how to go about this task. Thanks for any
suggestions.

P-C-Surgeonz;
You can't "layer"a flash swf into an image, but you can
"insert" the
image and flash into your html separately using
dreamweaver--but IMO
importing the png fireworks png into flash, and just
embedding the flash is
easier. -Tom Unger

How to Create a trigger code for turning on light bulbs in flash and animate images professional cs6

hi,
i designed a very interactive music website in illustrator and photoshop and i am trying to animate the main page design in flash professional and eventually publish it as HTML5. There are couple of questions i need to ask before starting
1) should i import my design in differnet layers from illustrator into flash professional in order to make it easier to isolate and animate specific parts of the web page?
2) i want to have a roll over effect that allows certain features in the page to turn on and off when the mouse hovers over them. can you explain how to do that? any tutorial videos i could follow
3) what format should i use when importing my illustrator design into flash professional
4) how should i animate the content pop out from the safe box into the main screen in flash professional (i have never used this program before, so i will be going off video tutorials and whatever suggestions/help you would have)
**The idea is to have a content frame fly out of the safe into the screen (the size will increase rapidly and it will fade into the screen as well while rotating 360 degrees for one revolution). The content is a basic rectangular frame i designed in illustrator. The body of this frame will be transparent allowing me to embed the main page features into it eg music, videos, bio etc. All this will be done in the later process, the main issue is figuring out how to animate the content frame into the screen and also creating a click feature that allows the content to fly back into the safe and then the safe closing in.
Secondly, the trigger code rollover effect that allows certain features light to turn on when the mouse hovers over it and turn over when its not.****

I think you'll get most flexibility by turning on the feature that lets you keep your Illustrator layers as Flash layers. You'll also want to check the box that lets you make an Illustrator object into a MovieClip for anything that you want to interact with or address through code.
Add an event listener for MOUSE_OVER that triggers whatever functions you need to create to turn on the features. This means that your object that you will mouse over will need to be a MC, as well as any other objects that will be addressed (for example, calling play()) will need to be a MC. You'll want to have a matching MOUSE_OUT handler that stops MC's, hides them, or whatever.
You should probably organize your Illustrator file so that the objects you need to address are on their own layers. This includes nested objects. Name things informatively. Remember, if the first import doesn't give you exactly what you want, you don't have to save the change--you can edit your settings or the Illustrator file and try again.
Look into motion tweens. I highly recommend the books "How to Cheat at Flash" and "Animation with Scripting." I don't really think the way they tell you to script will advance your career if you want to be a software architect, but if you just want to animate the occasional widget, it's fine.

Drawing in flash and exporting files to illustrator

I use to be able to draw or tweak drawings in Flash and then export them as a postscript or swf file so that I could keep editing them in Illustrator. These features seem to be missing and I don't understand why. Surely these are features that were used by other users. So the print image feature is gone in Flash and that was where I could contain my vector drawing as a postscript or PDF and now I can't do that any more. In Illustrator I use to be able to open up .swf files and I can't do that anymore. Is there a go around? Why take such a good thing away that is so useful to artists and designers?

Hi All,
Flash Pro CC 2014 (v14.0.0.110) is now available for download via the Creative Cloud App and Adobe website.
We have added SVG Export feature to Flash Pro with this new release. You will now be able to export out vector content from the selected frame as an SVG image that can be opened directly in a Browser and even imported in Adobe Illustrator.
SVG Export option can be accessed via the Publish Settings as well as via File Menu > Export > Export Image option.
Along with this, we have added several new features with this release. Complete list is available at these links:

Web and embedded sound in PDF

Hi,
Made a posting in the Windows group but no one seems to know anything about the item.
I found the possiblity to embed sound in a pdf very accurate to a project I´m working on (example pages from a teaching material in languages) and embedded the corresponing sound (from a CD that is included with the book) and put a nice poster image to start playing. Those pdf:s was then published on the net. It seems to work fine on every PC I´ve tested but the customer has a Mac and when the pages where opened there was no poster or possibility to listen to the sound file. I´m not sure what OS he is using but is there any problems related to this that anyone here can enlighten me.. ?
Most thankful for any help.
My best
Michael

First of all, I'm not that familiar as a user of Acrobat Pro. But as its included in my CS4 suite I checked it out by "intuition" and as I understood it the "embed-media" feature is a rather new one. Anyway, how I did it is staight forward from the interface. You insert at media type (in my cas a mp3-file) and optional you can use a "poster" as a trigger/button to play the file. Both the sound file and the image is included in the pdf-file.
Anyway, it would be helpful to know if you can play the sound filde from your Mac. Most helpful would be if anyone knows any limitations connected to my pdf with embedded sound in terms of the average web-user, and especially those running on Macs.
You don't need to download the file, just open the URL http://www.imatri.se/lab/Prosim/pdf/prosims8.pdf. The page displayed is an excert from a language material in swedish but regardless this: Everything is OK if theres an image of an CD, a playbutton and some text in swedish ABOVE the chapter name "1 Ahoj". A click on that image will play the sound.
Please let me know how it looks and again I ask anyone who knows about possible limatations to use this kind of docs.
My best
Michael

Published swf and html file viewing issues.

Greetings,
I design web banners and used to, with Flash 8, sedn my
clients the published *.html and *.swf files to download onto their
desktops so they could view the banner. With Flash CS3 this doesn't
seem to be working the same way. It keeps giving them the window
that says something about "ac_runactivescript.js". How come this
never did this with Flash 8?

click file/publish settings/formats, make sure the swf and html boxes are selected, and click the use default names button. then click file/publish. are the files in your directory with your fla?
if not, create a new directory (that has no subdirectories), save your fla to that new directory using a new name (ie, click file/save as). then click file/publish. check the new directory for your 3 files.

Same fonts used in Flash and FLEX are different

Fonts used in Flash and Flex differs in appearance even though they are same. It lacks the anti alias property and shows pixelated in flex even if it appears normal in flash. Please see attachment.

There can be several reasons for that. First make sure the font is embedded properly. Rotate the object and see how it looks. It is also possible that in Flex the fonts are being captured as a bitmap which can turn off AA at times.

FLASH and Co only via download?

hi friends
mostly I use my computer with my premiere elements 13 offline.
but when I try to make exports for the internet on this maschine,( my private website where I will show my hollidayvideos) I cant do th exports/publishings cause premiere
needs to go online. did I make mistakes while installing it? why cant export/publish -for example flash- in offline mode?
my idea was to take the footage from the camera, edit it, export it to my harddisk, and when I am back home, than I will load it up the my website. seems to be a nogo?
hope that there is a solution. if it is a feature, that premiere elements doesnt have all options and can only do the job when online with ADOBE, then I realy have a problem.
but I cant beleive that, ADOBE must tell this prior to sell to the customer if the product doesnt work in offline mode with all features.

if you are interested...
VirtualDub doesnt read my footage (unknown codec and format!)
today I will check the free flash konverter, but this file needs AVI!my weekend will become exciting....I am downloading some more free stuff.
and next time when I go to holliday maybe I take another option with my camera.I was so proud that this little thing does that realy good looking fullHDs, so I filmed the two months in Portuagal in this format.
and -by the way- the Toshiba TV of my doughter also doesnt play the clips from the cam!!
my Samsung and our Computers does!
and it realy lookes great 1920x1080 60p!
the sound from the cam is unusable, on the Algarve Cliffs there was a strong wind - I do the sound on my computer, ..

hi
I see the menue-point to publish to an private website. I thought this would give me a file which I can upload with my upüload-tool for my website later and first check it offline.
but I cant export/publish or whatever, cause the prog always wants to connect to ADOBE.and -sometimes I am in my mobilhome or at home and there it collides with my firewall.it doesnt connect to youtube, ist ADOBE - I can see this!
I have lost the game, yes I was missinterpreting but now I am much more clever..;-)
so I must realy look for another software?
and: if a company says that their software supports AC3 - I must be aware and ask what they meanandif they say that they will support YOUTUBE publishing, than this might be that first ADOBE wants to see the clip.otherwise I dont unerstand why the connection doesnt direct to YOUTUBE but to ADOBE!
what ever I try the connection is always to ADOBE, everytime! (tried several times..and I can watch what the program does!) this is NOT a first time activation, looks like that they want give away the codec.
for 5.1 (AAC) your first help was sufficient, I could made the mp4 with a 6-channel AAC, but cant mix the channels in PREMIERE.
and I make the sound in channelorder for AC3 5.1, the channel with AAC are in different order as you know.so I cant use it....
its stripping down my too high expectations, PREMIERE Elements is just for cutting off the unwanted parts of a clip or doing some transitions or assemble some takes together - thats all.
this weekend I start testing VirtualDub and the other freeware programs. and I will write to see how VEGAS works.VirtualDub does cooperate with AFTEN - my AC3 encoder, anyway I am very sceptical, and there should be a programm called DIRECTOR anything, I have to search for this..they say it supports AC3 (hahaha) and exports for internet use...(LOL)
brgdsand have a nice weekendand thank you very much for the assistence

FLASH and Co only via download?
created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionPeter Thanks for the reply with additional information about your situation.I am not affiliated with Adobe in any way. I am just a Premiere Elements user in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum who has an over activetroubleshooting gene and shares Premiere Elements information. It seems like you might have misinterpreted PublishShare/Private Websites since I see no way for you to connect from there to your private website. As mentioned, Premiere Elements PublishShare/Private Websites points to Facebook, Vimeo, and YouTube (all requiring an Internet connection). Considerations about 1080p50 video with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel audio imported and exported from Premiere Elements....1. Premiere Elements offers project PAL NTSC AVCHD AVCHD1080p50 for stereo, but not the one which includes 5.1 channel in its description.But I can show you the way to create your own "PAL NTSC AVCHD AVCHD 1080p50 5.1 channel" project preset.ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Exporting a 1080p50 or 1080p60 file with 5.1 Channel AudioI have more information on Premiere Elements and 5.1 channel if you need it. Using these special presets you will have limited opportunities toexport to file which includes 5.1 channel audio, but the audio will not be Dolby Digital 5.1 channel....one example aac 5.1 channel. We can also discuss the extent of 5.1 channel editing in Premiere Elements. But right now your immediate need seems to be an offline software where you can pre-test your candidate uploads to your private web site.Premiere Elements offline can get you to the export to file in various formats saved to your computer hard drive. You can run into features whichrequire first time use one time activation. That is going to need an Internet connection. If you need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
