Running swf file within a dreamweaver page

Hi all ive been really struggling in getting my web shot gallery to run with my dreamweaver page on my site, ive managed to get it running on its own on my server but soon as i put in my site it does not run, i only get a white screen
www.gazell.co.uk/renault.html
thats the white screen but if you navigate on the left go to photos then renault the actual gallery works but not with the page i would like
please advise Thanks

Have you uploded al lscripts associated with the SWF? Auxiliary SWF assets such as palyer skins? Was the gallery created relative to the same root directory as your site? One problem I definitely see is the use of spaces in file names, which could lead to names being truncated or misinterpreted....

As far as I know there aren't flash version 10. So IMHO your
code it's
not correct. I've seen this problem before in another thread.
It's like
when you embed your swf file there where something wrong in
the proses
and the code it's corrupted. Your code should be something
like:
<script type="text/javascript">

Publish your swf file from Flash using the fla file.
If that doesnÂ´t work either try with swfobject
method

Let see what happen.

Why don't links placed in swf files work in Dreamweaver?

I created a swf file and embeded a link in in to go to another page in my site. The application program (Easy Web Animator) generates the swf file and an html file. When I open the generated html file, the link to another page works when I click on the button. But if I import this swf file in dreamweaver, the link does not work. The generated html file dosen't seem to have anything extra to make the link work, it seems it just dosent work when placed in Dreamweaver.
Anyone with any suggestions, please
Dexter.

Hello, Nancy
I feel so stupid. I uploaded both files to my server, and they are
both working now (on the server). I have been previewing the file in a
browser on my hard drive all the time, and the original worked, but
the file placed in Dreamweaver did not. But they both work when
uploaded to the server!
I don't understand it, but maybe you can. I would love to know why I
wasted about 2 days just trying every different setting I can in the
swf file and in dreamweaver.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!

Flash SWF file within Swing JFrame

I was wondering whether its possible to open a Flash swf file within a JFrame
I am looking for a solution similar to the usage of Flash Activex control in .NET
thanks in advance
Vikas

I have read the forum link and other such entries in this forum. I have found the following:
1.) JFlash - a java based flash player. https://jflash.dev.java.net/
Could'nt find the app or the official site
2.) a few projects on sourceforge.org :
java flash bridge where you embed the flash inside an Integrated Browser Component
3.) SWT Flash integration.
I do not find any of these solutions satisfactory.except the SWT/Flash integration which I havent tried.
My question is that isnt there an easier and simpler way to :
Embed Flash into Swing app where actionscript and java can communicate.
I am aware of Remoting and web services. But It is a desktop app I am talking about.
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanks in advance..

Launching SWF file within the project - Video Avatar and Calculator

Hi There, I am somewhat new to Captivate so please bear with me. I am using Captivate 6.0 and have basic coding knowledge. I have a question about how to launch SWF files within my project. There are 2 things I am trying to accomplish.
1. I have a video avatar that I want to use within my project. When a user clicks an icon or button on certain screens I want the appropriate video to launch within the same window. My video is an swf file but it can be another file type if that is better. Is this something that I can accomplish with Captivate 6.0?
2. I have built a basic flash calculator - also an swf file - that I want the user to be able to launch on certain screens. When the user clicks a calculator button, the calculator would launch for the user to use, then the user would be able to close the calculator and return to the screen they were on.
Could someone direct me to some resources on how to accomplish this? If there are any widgets that would make this easier that would be great - but if I need to write some code I can try and do this if someone can direct down the right road. I have spent hours looking for information on this topic but can't find any (at least any that I understand)
Please, and thank you!!!

Rory,
Your Video is 720 x 480 @ 1.212 PAR, according to your screen-cap. In Photoshop (PS), go to Image New (Ctrl+N) and choose the NTSC 720 x 480 Widescreen 16:9 PAR 1.2. Once done, choose Image>PAR and Custiom, change 1.2 to 1.212 (this was a change in PrPro, and might not have yet made it into PS yet). Now, Open your full rez image. Ctrl+A (Select All), Ctrl+C (Copy), and then bring focus to your New Image. Hold Shift and Ctrl+V (Paste). This will put your image on a New Layer, Layer 1, in an Image with the correct dimensions and PAR. You can the Ctrl+T (Free Transform) and adjust the size of your Layer 1 image to suit. Holding down Shift while dragging the Handles of the Bounding Box will constrain the Aspect Ratio. Note, you might be cropping some of that image to fit the Aspect Ratio of your New Image. Anything outside of the Image boundries will effectly be cropped off. Note: you are NOT using the Crop Tool here, but letting the New Image Aspect Ratio effectively do the cropping (note no capitalization) for you. When satisfied with the result, you Delete the Background Layer (not necessary, but I do this to clean things up a bit), and Save_As .PSD to the proper folder.
With Scale to Fit turned OFF, Import_As Footage, this image and drag to the Timeline, making sure that Scale to Fit is OFF. It should be perfect then. Hope that this works for you and gets rid of the problem.
Good luck,
Hunt

I can't run swf files in dreamweaver cs6, they place in the page fine, but can't be viewed.

I've created an animation .swf file in Flash and inserted it on a new webpage. When I go to view it in live mode, it's blank. When I view it in the IE browser I keep getting a message that I need a newer version of Adobe Flash player, which is not the case, and even going through the install process doesn't help. When uploaded, it doesn't appear on the webpage. This is Dreamweaver in the CS6 release on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The animation file runs fine when viewed from the original folder, but does not funciton (blank screen) when opened from the copied file Dreamweaver puts in the site folder. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Also, is there a way to loop a .flv file? This could be a work-around if I can't resolve the .swf issue.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Mark

Hi Jon,
Unfortunately not. The website is actually an HTML module logded in a third party program. Even in the development stage though I can't see the .swf file in either the live mode or by viewing with IE. Flash video files play fine as have the other graphics I've incorporated. It seems like a file is missing to make the .swf animation work properly. When I copied the file over from the original folder, Dreamweaver also placed "expressInstall.swf " and "swfobject_modified.js" in a scripts folder. I'm wondering if there should be another or different file to make this work.

FAQ: How do I embed my SWF file in an HTML page?

Flash Pro creates HTML wrapper files for you when you use the File > Publish command, assuming you have the HTML Wrapper format selected in the Publish settings of your FLA file.
However, these HTML wrapper files only contain the <Object> tag code to embed your SWF file. If you want to embed your SWF file in an existing HTML page that contains other elements, you can copy and paste the appropriate HTML code into the appropriate location within your existing HTML page. You can also use Dreamweaver to add the SWF file to the page.
The TechNote Object tag syntax contains sample HTML code that you can copy and paste, along with instructions on how to edit the code to account for the actual name and location of your SWF file.

Hi,
You need to set the profile option 'Viewer:Text' to 'Browser'.

Html link to multiple swf files on 1 html page

i have a html page that has multiple (20) links to video files, i would like to play these files in the same position, within the same html page. therefore saving myself having 20 html files with the separate swf files embedded. firstly i was planning on converting my .mov files to swf to make then smaller.
my query is, what is the best way to 'house' a swf file(s) that plays when clicked on the relative link on that page.
i have build the page using CSS and have limited javascript knowledge although im keen to learn.
cheers

You need a Flash player that supports a playlist. If you're good with Flash and Action Script you could build a custom player. If not, pick-one from the links below:
Wimpy Rave simple to deploy, dirt simple to update playlists by uploading media to wimpy folder.

Printing an embedded .swf file in a .html page

not sure which forum to ask this....so this question may
appear in other forums as well.
I have a web page that I built in DreamWeaver using CSS. On
this webpage I have a .swf file embedded in one of my <div>
tags. When the user hits File>Print, I want only the .swf file
to print and not the other areas (i.e. header, footer, nav bar
etc.) of the webpage. The following website does exactly what I
want.
http://www.chevrolet.com/avalanche/colors/
Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve how to do
this?
thanks!
D

You need to specify in the CSS which items you want to
print... Check out this...

Open 2 Web Browser and play a .swf File within each

Hello,
we are trying to implement a Screen Recording Functionality
under Linux.
The Recording will be done by vnc2swf. Then we have a .swf
File with the Video.
Now I want to play Back the recording within a Web Browser.
That's shoudnt be the problem till now. But the difficult
thing is that we have 2 Monitors connected to the Linux PC with
their own display connection, therefore we get 2 .swf File each for
each Screen.
No I want to play back these two .swf Files each in one Web
Browser on each Screen.
Is this possible by programming this with Action Script 2/3 ?
Thanks Richard

FullScreenButton in SWF file in an HTML Page

I have inserted a small video as a SWF file into my homepage along with Play, Pause, FullScreen and Mute buttons (loaded from the Flash Components panel). The Play, Pause and Mute buttons work fine. But when I click on the FullScreen Button nothing happens. It won't open the SWF video in a new page at full resolution. Any suggestions?

your embedding html code must allow fullscreen. if you let flash publish an html file for you and you change your publish settings to allow fullscreen, you'll see what's needed.

SWF files not loading onto page in Catalyst output.

Hello,
This is a new one that I have not yet seen. I have a large assortment of SWF files set up in Scroll Panes and they are not loading up when I check the project using Firefox or Safari. The site is here:
www.electronic-lifestyle.com
Go into any page linked from the top row and then hit a sub page. When you see a scroll bar come up on the right side of the film strip yet nothing inside the film strip you will see the issue.
This is really serious and could screw up my entire project so any advice would be really helpful. I need to figure out why the SWF files are not loading in on the browser with the files from the server when they work just fine using the local deploy files. Everything works just fine from the machine but when I try to get it to download from the server nothing.
All of the SWF files are built in Flash CS5 using AS3 and contain some simple links and commands. Some of the SWF files are coming up just fine, it is just the latest batch of files I have uploaded that are giving me the problem, but only off the server. The same files work just fine in local mode.
Thanks in advance,
Brett

Chris,
This is not an apples to apples comparison but I think it will Illustrate the differences. This is a sample of code from Catalyst that works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Group xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:fclib="com.adobe.flashcatalyst.components.*" xmlns:d="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008/dt">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            protected function mac_btn_clickHandler():void
                navigateToURL( new URLRequest( encodeURI("http://www.mcintoshlabs.com")), "_blank");
            protected function integra_btn_clickHandler():void
                navigateToURL( new URLRequest( encodeURI("http://www.integrahometheaters.com")), "_blank");
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <fclib:SWFController loadForCompatibility="true" source="assets/images/ElectronicMain2c.swf" x="0"/>
    <s:Button skinClass="components.Button1" x="0" y="1328" d:userLabel="Mac_btn" click="mac_btn_clickHandler()"/>
    <s:Button skinClass="components.Button1" label="Button" x="0" y="1768" d:userLabel="Integra_btn" click="integra_btn_clickHandler()"/>
</s:Group>
This is an example of the AS3 code that was confounding the SWF load on the example I gave:
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.mcintoshlabs.com"), "_blank");
button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.integrahometheater.com/"), "_blank");
Now these are from the same page, the first of which is online right now here:
www.electronic-lifestyle.com/AS/Main.html
This particular code is used on the Electronics page. When I look at the two side by side it seems there are some syntax differences but I do not know enough about AS3 to tell what the important differences are.
Thanks for looking,
Brett

How do I add a Flash.swf file to an iWeb page?

I have tried to use the HTML Snippet widget, but I must be doing something wrong. I can drag the .swf file into Safari and it plays. I am sure it is the order that I am trying to do this. Thanks for any help.

Upload the swf file to your server and use the following code in an HTML snippet:
<embed src="URL TO SWF FILE ON SERVER?" width="XXX" height="XXX" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /embed>
There's an demo of it on this page: Miscitems
