Run as a SWF or via HTML

When launching a Captivate piece from the web, what are the
pros and cons of launching the .swf versus using the HTML file
Captivate creates for you? When I launch the .swf it opens a window
the same size as the window launching it. Of course it can be
sized, but if it opens in a large window the text is pixelated.
When I launch it via the HTML file Captivate creates it opens in
the right size, but the HTML window is too large.

Hi bobelmore
You have just asked the type of question we all love to see.
This would be the self answering question.
Basically, you provided the answer with your observation of
the behavior. If it's important to you that your end user see the
project as crystal clear as you created it with no pixellation
(when displayed larger) or blurriness (when displayed smaller) you
need to use the Captivate created HTML file to present the project.
This is why when you DE-select the Export HTML option, you
see the popup warning of:
If you uncheck this option, your project may not display
correctly in a web browser.
Cheers... Rick

  • Can SAP Kernel 640 (linked OCI_9.2) run Ora DB 9.2 via instant client 10g ?

    Hello,
    One of our old system runs a SAP Kernel 640 OCI_920.
    DB server runs Oracle 9.2
    We would like to backup it with RMAN to take advantage of backup as saveset with disk_copy_cmd = rman_set
    So according to OSS 1101530, we should run at least BrTools 7.00 patch 30 or BRTools 7.10 patch 5.
    OSS 849483 and 1060539 state that those Br*Tools can be run with a database server Oracle 9.2 if an Oracle instant client 10g is installed on the Database server.
    I wonder if it is possible without upgrading the DB Server to oracle 10g
    1) Can SAP Kernel 640 (linked OCI_9.2) run Ora DB 9.2 via instant client 10g ?
    2) Or should we go to an SAP Kernel 640_EX2 ?
    3) If so, shouldn't Oracle server be upgraded to 10g beforehand ?
    I will try to get some clue in the product availibility matrix, but if you already have some piece of information about it, please just shoot !
    Thx in advance for you time

  • Problem loading .swf embedded with HTML

    Hi All,
    I have embedded .swf file with HTML. It is working fine with

  • Running a specific SWF file from a certain URL

    I need to run my Flex SWF from a URL like this:
    http://www.somthing.com/applicationName
    Where "applicationName" can be anything we predefine and it
    can be passed to the Flex SWF so we can determine which application
    the user wants to run. How can we do this?

    Let me see if I can get this one right.. "applicationName"
    would be a directory, so you'd have to do this for any and all
    seperate application directories. To at least make an index.cfm for
    each that would relocate the user to a central directory point.
    Then maybe this central application directory point would have an
    index.cfm that would extract the "applicationName" from the referer
    url which it would use in some way with parameterize values in the
    Flash object code inclusion to get and serve the appropriate swf
    file.
    Trying to explain it is more complicated than actually doing
    it.

  • Load swf file in html based air?

    1. The start window opens up a transperant window in an iframe.
    2. Then the transperant window loads an external asp file from my server (content.asp) in an iframe.
    3. In the content.asp file i try to load an swf file, but nothing is visible?
    I use the following code in content.asp to show the swf file:
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="300" height="300">       
    <param name="movie" value="flashtest.swf" />
    </object>
    I have uploaded a testpage with this code to the server and it works fine, but not in the air application!?
    What Im I doing wrong?

    No, nothing with HTML.
    I have 2 SWF applications. One is the Gallery, and the second is my Main Page.
    My Main Page must integrate the Gallery module in one of its page.
    The problem is when I try to integrate it, I think I must give de future loaded SWF some parameters like this :
    (My Main SWF loading in HTML)
    var so = new SWFObject("WebSite.swf", "flashcontent", "520", "700", "10", "#111111");
    so.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
    so.addParam("allowScriptAccess","always");
    so.addParam("menu","false");
    so.addParam("wmode","opaque");
    so.addParam("bgcolor","#000000");
    so.setAttribute("id","flash");
    so.write("flashcontent");
    It was for the Main App. For my Gallery SWF I had to load it like this (in HTML) :
    var so = new SWFObject("Gallerie.swf", "gallery", "249", "249", "10", "#111111");
    so.addVariable("xml_path","Galerie/config.xml"); // this line is adding the path to the xml file make sure that it's name is xml_path
    so.addParam("allowfullscreen","true"); 
    so.write("flashcontent");
    So at the beginning I had 2 different projects with an HTML page for each.
    Now I wan't to directly integrate the Gallery SWF into the Main SWF. And as you have seen I must give it some parameters such as the "xml_path" and "allowfullscreen". This must be done in ActionScript 3 and I don't know how...
    I think I have to use FlashVars but I don't know how. As I said before, I have tried using the loaderinfo.parameters, but it is in read-only...
    Do you have an idea of how I can make it work ?

  • Run AS3 script via html codetag?

    From what I know, it is possible to add <a href="....">
    or <a href="mailto:..."> in order to set dynamically a
    specific substring of a text to do either navigation to other page,
    or open to e-mail client. But is it possible to do much more
    important things, by just calling an AS3-function?... I am talking
    about a hyperlink to AS3 script code, instead to email client /
    browser.
    I.e. I want to download dynamic text with the names of
    Authors of papers from a database, and parse them serial i.e.:
    Authors:
    Author1Name,
    Author2Name, ...,
    AuthorKName".
    When the user press on a name, to open a vector flash pop-up
    (MovieClip) as a data-card of the specific Author. This could be
    done if there was an Flash-HTML tag like <a
    fref="loadModule(1)">
    Author1Name</a>, which would run the
    loadModule(1) function of the parent MovieClip that contains
    the dynamic text.
    I know something like this doesn't exist (
    add it to wishlist for future versions! :) ), but is there
    any other way to do it, except from creating one Object per author
    with MouseEvent listeners and place them dynamically to correct x,y
    positions?...

    It's as you describe it, with one problem: the "button"
    position and size is dynamically text-depending and not known
    before the data parsed to screen.
    Example:
    Create a textField and add inside it a dynamic text like:
    "Bill Gates created Microsoft". If this text was static I could add
    2 transparency buttons (listening to: MouseEvent.CLICK), one over
    "Bill Gates" and one over "Microsoft", where the first would make
    visible a movieclip talking about Bill Gates, and the second would
    make visible one movieclip talking about Microsoft.
    But the text can come as: "Microsoft was created by Bill
    Gates", or "There is a company named Microsoft, which was created
    by Bill Gates", or "Windows is a software created by Microsoft.
    Bill Gates was the one that created Microsoft". Thus you can't have
    apriori knowledge on where to put the buttons. In more advanced
    examples, I might not know how many buttons I should place also
    (i.e. of authors - i don't know apriori how many authors a paper
    has).
    This is same as in case of hyperlink: We don't know where a
    hyperlink can be, thus we place a tag for every hyperlink into the
    text that defines that hyperlink position and action.
    The only way to overcome this problem (just though of it) is
    to create my own tag, and before parse the text to check for that
    tag. For every tag to find the starting coordinates of it's inside
    text on the parent movieclip (x,y) and the ending coordinates - and
    providing that they have the same y-coordinate (no line change), to
    create a transparent button at the specific area over the text.
    If this is the only way to do it (thus making my own
    pseudo-html tag inside flash),
    I must know if it is possible to take (x,y) coordinates (in
    pixels) of a letter (upperleft corner) in a dynamic textbox.
    kglad, do you know if this is possible and how to do it?... (It may
    need to open new thread for this)...

  • Can an AS1/2 swf loaded via Loader class tell the main movie (AS3) that it has run to the end of its timeline?

    If I load an external swf:
    my_loader.load(new URLRequest("abc.swf"));
    addChild(my_loader);
    abc.swf starts playing - how do I get it to tell the main movie that it reached the end of its timeline and finished playing?  Added bonus: the loaded swf is AS1 and the main movie is AS3.  I'm not sure if I could convert the loaded swf to AS3.

  • Using a .swf as an HTML layer in DW CS3

    Hello,
    I am using a .swf file as a background for my site and I can get the thing to work in Firefox and Safari on the Mac, but not in IE or Opera.  It will play the .swf but in layers in on top of the content, not underneath.  What is so different about how IE and Opera view the page that Firefox and Safari do not have.  Please give a look at this link: http://www.allwickedthings.com/WT_index_test_1.html and let me know what you think.  The .css files are posted on the root directory, just check the code to find the file names.  I'm going to continue to experiment on the code and see if I can come up with something.  Also this site displays in a different way on Netscape, it just leaves the movie out altogether.
    Thanks,
    Brett

    First, run your page code through the on-line validation tools below and fix the reported errors.
    HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
    CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    FREE HTML & CSS Tutorials  - http://w3schools.com/
    You need a document type on your first line of HTML code.  On DW menu hit FILE > Convert and select HTML 4.01 Transitional as your doc type.  Without a doc type declaration, your pages will have undrepdictable cross browser results.
    I've never needed to use an SWF as page background, so can't be much help.  Maybe this thread from another forum will shed some light.

  • Synchronize 2 separate swf files via AS and JS?

    Hi all
    is there a way to syncronize 2 swf that play simultaneously
    on the same html page, via AS and JS?...
    Basically the 2 movies are two slide shows that load an array
    of images one after another,
    dynamically. Right now they play on their own and get out of
    sync very fast, depending on the time
    it takes to load each images. So I need to tell both movies
    to check whether the other one has
    finished loading the next image, before showing the next
    image itself...
    What would be the best approach for this?

  • .swf file in html page with WebLogic Server in Netscape

    I am not able to embed .swf (flash) files in html page when accessed thru' Weblogic server in Netscape Ver. 5 and below but supported in Netscape6.0 and IE. When run as html page without WebLogic server, it is working well. Please suggest a solution for this problem to my mail id.

    I've had a quick trawl round the web, but can't find an answer to this specific problem - will let you know if i discovr anything.
    Lots of people seem to have problems because the relative url address has to be in relation to the html page, not the loading swf. All my files are in the same folder, so it;s not that. Also, the problem occurs whether running from my hard drive or web server.

  • I have an issue running a linear SWF story

    I have about a day to fix a problem I am having.
    Basically i created a short story and linked each SWF file to the next scene via buttons, to make it as quick loading as possible. When previewed in Flash to see if it works, it works fine. When each SWF is previewed in a Browser, it works fine.
    Scene1 -> Scene2 -> Scene3, and so on.
    It worked fine when i previewed it in Flash, but as soon as i place the SWF in Dreamweaver, it plays the 1st scene, but won't play the linked SWF when i click on the next button (When previewing)..
    Any ideas?

    If the files are in a different directory than the html page, that will be the problem.  When you place an swf in a web page, the directory of the html page becomes the loading reference for any files your swf loads... it is the same as if you placed the swf in that directory anyways. 
    If you want to keep the swf's in a separate directory, then you need to adjust the path they use to target the other swfs to be as if they are in the html page directory.  You do not have to put them in the same directory as the html page, you just have to code the targeting of any files they load as if the file doing the loading is in that folder.

  • When my swf in a html page connected with a socket server other http requests were blocked, how to resolve?

    I have used php to write a socket server(text chat server),
    then I use xmlsocket to write a client, I put this swf file in my html page, erverything of this client swf were ok: ervery clients could send or receive messages, but the other http request in this html page was unable to send(or receive) data from webserver,
    webserver and chat server were on the same server,
    and I have tried to use socket to instead if xmlsocket in my flash, but the new swf can only work in flash cs3, but it couldn't work in html page as the chat server can't send the security xml file to this swf, and I have also use Security.loadPolicyFile("http://192.168.139.128/crossdomain.xml"); to load security file, but it took none effect.
    Is there anyone can suggest me ?
    That's very kind of you!

    Hi Franco,
    Yes, I solved that by reinstalling Java 6 Update 21.
    There are three versions for Solaris namely, SPARC, x64 and x86. Our platform is SPARC and I think System admin has installed the wrong version instead of installing SPARC version of Java.
    After installing SPARC version of Java this got resolved. And I confirmed everything is fine by running a small program as below. You can run this program from command line using the -d64 flag. If the installation is wrong you will get the same exception as I mentioned.
    public class Analyzer {
          public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
               InputStream fin = new FileInputStream(args[0]);
               int iSize = fin.available();
               byte mvIn[] = new byte[iSize];
               fin.read(mvIn,0,iSize);
               fin.close();
               String strText = new String(mvIn);
               PrintStream fout = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(args[0]+".csv"));
               fout.println("Before,After,Seconds");
               Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\[(?:Full |)GC (\\d*)K->(\\d*)K\\(\\d*K\\), ([\\d.]*) secs\\]");
               Matcher m = p.matcher(strText);
               while(m.find()){
                    fout.println(m.group(1)+ "," + m.group(2) + "," + m.group(3));
               fout.close();
    }Hope this helps.

  • SRW2048 Fiber Run to HP ProCurve 2524 via MGBSX1 Not functioning

    All,
    I have a customer with a single Cisco SRW2048 switch that has been installed at the network core and is due to replace two aging HP ProCurve 2524 Switches. Previously, the HP Procurves were linked via Fiber to similar HP ProCurve 2524's in a network closet on the opposite side of the building. The Fiber running through the walls is terminated on both sides with a generic / fully functional Fiber switch that use ST Connectors to output the fiber.
    On both ends, currently, a ST -> SC MultiMode Fiber is connected from the fiber switch to a HP ProCurve 100-FX SC Transceiver (J4853A: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ie/en/sm/WF06c/A1-329290-64274-64484-64484-51105-22212.html). This setup works 100% right now, however, they do not want to keep the old switch around (inside the core) simply to act as a transceiver for the fiber run.
    They purchased a MGBSX1 and a ST -> LC MMF cable and can not seem to get it functional. I saw this thread: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Switches/connecting-two-SRW2048-switches-over-multimode-fiber/m-p/270381 and attempted shutting off auto negociation (locking it down at 100MB) and it did not bring the interface up (Interface is always down).
    I just saw this thread tonight: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2012252 Can anyone confirm that the MGBSX1 can not clock down to 100MB to pair with the 100-FX transciever they have?
    If it CAN, has anyone done such a project before / can give me some insight on this matter?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jonathan,
    The MGBSX1  will not clock at 100FX speeds sorry, and I'm guessing that if you want to run 100FX the distances between the switches are larger than 200meters.
    The MFEFX1 (100FX)  or MFELX1  (100LX)  modules are not any help to you they support the following products;
