Strange problem using flash in dreamweaver

Ok so i'm experimenting with flash on my site. The banner came out perfect. It went onto my site just as easy. So then I wanted to play around with other flash buttons. So I made a flash link to my blog page. It worked great in dreamweaver. Then I testest it with IE and firfox and still it worked great. So I uplouded it to my site and no matter what I do it doesn't show up on the page. I looked in the code view and it's there it's just not visible. Does anyone see what I did wrong. It's right under the welcome message in code view. http://www.markspetcare.com/

Your problem may just be a matter of file naming but it could also be a targeting issue. The swf seems to be occupying the space assigned to it.
As a general practice, you should never include spaces in filenames if you plan to use them on the web.
If changing that doesn't fix the problem, then does your file load another file? If so, it's possible you didn't load that file to the server or are not properly targeting it in the Flash file.

A strange phenomena using Flash CS5

I've just found an item that I want Adobe to fix.
As you know there are three buttons related to the comments on the top of the script window.
They are .... [/*] [//] [(red)X]
I've found a strange phenomena using Flash CS5.
Note : In the following article, I'll write <tab> to mean tab.
Imagine that you typed this script below.
<tab>var AA:int = 10;
<tab>/* Commeent: AA is a number for a counter */
<tab>AA = AA + 1;
When you clicked [//], the script would change to ...
//<tab>var AA:int = 10;
//<tab>/* Commeent: AA is a number for a counter */
//<tab>AA = AA + 1;
After that, if you click [(red)X] to remove the // marks, the script changes to ....
<tab>var AA:int = 10;
<tab>Commeent: AA is a number for a counter
<tab>AA = AA + 1;
Yeah, /* */ mark has gone!
So be careful to click [(red)X] button when you sellect a long range of the script.

It sounds to me like the redX button is doing what it is supposed to, remove comment markings. If you would like Adobe to consider changing how it works, you should report it to Adobe using the link below. Posting here is just telling the rest of the users in these user-to-user forums.

Problem Using Flash FLV Video Via Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unable to get my FLV video to play on my website.
I seem to have two problems:
1) I want the FLV file to be hosted in a different domain to
the website itself (for bandwidth reasons) and it doesn't want to
do that!
2) I would prefer to use Flash skins rather than Dreamweaver
skins as I want to offer a full-screen option but I cannot get them
to work!
If I host the FLV file on the website domain, the video plays
ok. If I change the file location in the Properties of the movie to
become the FLV located on the other domain (using full path
http://<etc>flv) then nothing
displays on that part of the page. Firebug tells me it has loaded
the AC_RunActiveContent.js and FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf but it
makes no mention of the skin file or the flv file itself ... it is
as if it just simply has not bothered with it! I suspect I am
missing something obvious but cannot find it. All help would be
appreciated. By the way, I have loaded up a crossdomain.xml file to
the root of the domain that hosts the flv file but that didn't seem
to make any difference!
The second challenge is that ideally I would like to use a
Flash skin so that I can have a full-screen option and so that I
can have the menu bar under the video itself. However, I can't even
get that option to work when I host the whole lot on the normal
webserver! I am suspecting that it might be something that might
suddenly start working when I fix problem 1. However, if anybody
has any links to a page that provides simple instructions about how
to do this task I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks for your help!

1) Why not post your video to YouTube or Google Video and
then embed the
code they provide into your website. This way their servers
carry the
bandwidth for you and the scripted embed code will work on
your site.
2) If Video sharing isn't an option, and you need more
bandwidth, you can
get domain hosting for as little as $4.95 - 6.95/month at
Bluehost,
Lunarpages or Web Hosting Pad.

Strange problem with Flash

Ok so after spending the past week trawling through this forum I have yet to see anyone with a similar problem and al the ways to fix I've tried have been a lesson in fustration.
So the problem is flash just isn't there on websites, on any browser. Where flash videos and such would be is a big blank space the same size as the player and this is the same for ALL video media off any site including youtube.
When I run the installer it says completed and then nothing changes on any of the browsers, same for offline installer, and same after doing a full uninstall. Anyone got anymore ideas.
Also did a system restore to back when it DID work, also didnt solve the problem, so I'm really at my wits end now?!
This is running on a windows 7 32bit system.

First thing to try is a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
What browser(s) do you use?
What is your display adapter, device driver version & date?

Amazon Kindle problem using Flash Builder 4.6

Is there a way to specify a version of Air 2.7 using Flash Builder 4.6? This would be handy for getting apps accepted by the Amazon App store for the Kindle. Recently, I had an app accepted into the Amazon App store. However, the App needs to use a version of Air that preceeds Air 3.1. The version that I was advised to use is
Adobe AIR v. 2.7.1.1999.
I tried changing the 2nd line in the prog-app.xml file from:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1">
to
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7">
However, this change led to an error:
"See details for more information.
Namespace 2.7 in the application descriptor file should be equal or higher than the minimum version 3.1 required by Flex SDK. "
I recall that there was a temporary workaround for a similar problem with the Blackberry tablet OS. The Blackberry OS problem was later solved and the fix is no longer necessary. Perhaps, we need a work around for the Amazon Kindle to force the Flash Builder 4.6 to compile a release with Air 2.7.1.xx?
Any ideas how to make this happen?

Hello,
did you ever find a solution?
thanks.

Some strange problem with Flash/As3

Hi,
I am having some strange problem with my flash cs3.
Whatever script I write in as3 doesn't work, even a stop() function doesn't work . But when I change my publish setting to as2 it works fine.
Not sure about the root cause, may be some setting or preference or my cs3 is corrupted.
Can anybody please advise.
Thanks,
Kishor

try this
create a new fla as3,
select frame 1
open the actions panel
paste in the following code
var squares:Array = new Array;
setup();
function setup():void {
    for (var i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
        var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
        //square.name = "square" + i;
        square.graphics.beginFill(Math.random() * 0xffffff);
        squares.push(square);
        squares[i].graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
        squares[i].x = i*3;
        squares[i].y = i*3;
        squares[i].filters = [];
        square.graphics.endFill();
        stage.addChild(squares[i]);
for (var j = 0; j < squares.length; j++) {

Using Flash in Dreamweaver

I've created flash slideshows using Flash Slideshow Maker. I
then created a simple flash file that has 3 buttons. The action on
these buttons is On (release) { loadMovie ("drawings.swf",
ss_frame);} Where drawing.swf is the name of one of the slideshows
and ss_frame is an empty movie clip. The swf I created works fine
until I load it into dreamweaver. The rollover works on the buttons
so I know it's not totally not working. But when I click on the
button to load the slideshow - nothing it just sits there.
Any ideas???
Thanks

You cannot make an all-Flash site editable in Contribute.
This would be
only one of the HUNDREDS of reasons why all-Flash sites are a
bad idea.

Problem using Flash ads

I frequently see ads using Flash, that load and play fine but
when i click on links like "get your free sample" my browser does
not respond or go anywhere. I have the newest version installed and
have checked my settings, but clearly I am missing something. ANY
help would be appreciated beyond human conception.

The next official release, due out in the next week or so, should address this problem.

Problem using flash prof.

Hello,
I got Adobe Flash Professional CS5, but i can't use it. When i start it, there are only te borders of the different parts. There is no content in e.g. the properties part. Either it's a gray field or i see my windows background. Same is with the Timeline.
What can the problem be?
I already checked the System requirements:
- I have a Pentium 4(3.00 GHz)
- 1GB of RAM -> I have 4 GB(3 unused befor start)
- I have 1280x1024. and a ATI Radeon X300 SE 128MB graphiccard(not the best, i know^^, but should be enough?)
- the newest Quicktime
Seems to be all ok, but it doesn't work...
Has anyone an idea?

Hi,
thanks a lot. Changing the theme works. But it's still strange:
I changed to "Windows Classic" => still not works
I restarted => It works
I changed back to my previous theme => Still works
There seems to be a boot bug anywhere.
So if I want to use it, i'll restart once and re-applay my theme(maybe even a re-login works...)
Not the best, but a possible solution.
Thanks for your help.
(other CS5 applications didn't work either)
Edit: Now it even works without the restart... I don't understand windows
(I haven't changed anything except this one time classic theme)

A strange problem using the zip files

I'm currently working on a university project with another student in which we use zip files (using the java ZipFile , and ZipOutputStream classes), we write certain data to a zip file (and verify that it is there by checking the disk). and later we read the zip file, and write it back , appending some data at the end of the file.
although we see the changes actually take place on the disk , in one of the cases when reading the data we don't see the data we have appended before (although it is physically written on the disk).
testing has revealed that this has something to do with the rename command or java being unsynchronized with the data actually on the disk (caching problem?).
we use this code to preform the process:
ZipFile zf= new ZipFile( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".zip");
          BufferedInputStream input= new BufferedInputStream(zf.getInputStream(new ZipEntry("data")));
          // create a temporary new zip file.
          ZipOutputStream zipst= new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".tmp.zip"));
          BufferedOutputStream output =new BufferedOutputStream(zipst);
          zipst.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("data"));
          // stream the contents of the old file into the new file
          //(we do it this way because of the inability of the java zip file interfaces to add to an existing zip file)
          int current = input.read();
          while(current!=-1){
          output.write(current);
          current = input.read();
          output.write(entry.getBytes(false)); // add the new entrys.
          output.flush();
          zipst.closeEntry();
          output.close();
          // erase the old file.
          File toErase = new File( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".zip");
          toErase.delete();
          // rename the temporary file to the old files name.
          File toRename = new File( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".tmp.zip");
          toRename.renameTo(new File( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".zip"));
we use:
1. j2sdk 1.4.2_05
2. running under libranet linux.
any help will be appreciated

the data does indeed get lost in the course fo rewriting the file, e assume this is some sort of synchronization issue with java and the file system.
addig enteies to an existing zip file would have been great, if we had it a few weeks ago , we had to make do without this ability , and all of the code is already written and mostly working (except for the problem I mention) and we don't really want to rewrite the zip file access.
additional testing has shown that the data gets lost when we use the rename command.
very strange...
thanks for the input

Problems using Flash Presentation / Slide with IE

I have created a slideshow using the Flash presentation /
slide component. All images are the same size. When the movie loads
in Firefox, the slide show works fine. However in IE, the first
image is loaded off center. The top left corner of the image is
placed in the center of the screen. All subsequent images load
fine. This is an intermittent problem as it does not happen all the
time.
Has anyone seen this problem and know of a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Is this Virtual Credit Card Number software a website or a stand alone application? If stand alone, then I would recommend installing the Active X (Internet Explorer) version that you can download here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions
