Swf does not loop

So I have this AS3 animation, no AS, just timeline tween stuff. When I load it into Captivate, it will not loop. Yes, of course I clicked the loop property.
I also tried the Synchronize with project, and every combination of display time settings.
The animation runs until the frame time is over, then it stops, no loop.
Anybody run into this problem before?
Thanks

Hi there
You need to insert the animation into a MovieClip. Then insert the MovieClip into the timeline.
Cheers... Rick

Swf does not publish properly, plays fine in preview browser.

I have scoured the internet looking for a solution, and I work with a team of professional Flash developers... Nobody can figure this out.
I have a SWF I've been trying to publish to the web. It's inside an AP div tag. The swf plays fine in Preview mode. When I publish, however, the swf does not play in Safari at all, and will only play in Firefox upon hitting "refresh." After this, the swf will load and play just fine, UNLESS YOU CLEAR YOUR HISTORY, at which point the same problem appears: you see nothing but a black, blank box.
"Yeah, I've heard that before, it's probably your javascript, blah blah blah..." Well, wait, just wait. The swf DOES load in both browsers. It just doesn't play. In order to get it to play, you have to right-click and select Play. I cannot, for the life of me, get it to just go ahead and play automatically when publishing.
But the REAL riddle of all this is that the swfs USED to play just fine until a few days ago. I've done nothing different in my publishing. I have rebuilt the page from scratch to no avail. And I haven't found anything on the internet that addresses this question directly. I've had a couple of developers try and mess with the code for me, and THEY can't get it to work, either. I am pretty much begging for any possible help on this, so thanks in advance.
I am a design-oriented user; I understand code only conceptually. If a code solution is the only solution, please be specific with where and how to implement the advice.
The actual page in question is here:
http://www.thecolodinproject.com/Media/Trailers/Trailer%2002_Lure/Trailer_Volume_02_Lure.h tml
I will be checking back at this page often to look for replies; I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Nope... As I said, the swf USED to run just fine, and still does in certain browsers. I haven't messed with the SWF at all since that time, so there isn't any logical reason it should be different now.

SWF does not appear when returning to browser tab

I got an odd bug report on a web app we are developing.
The swf appears fine for the most part, but is the user has multiple browser tabs open, moves to a differnt tab and then returns to the tab with the swf, the swf does not appear until the mouse scrolls over the swf.
At first glance it would look like the swf is not being redrawn until the user intereacts with it (we are doing a good amount of mosue polling). It it as if to save memory the browser stops displaying the image, and does not redeisplay until we explicitly redraw the stage.
Has anyone run into a similar situyation? I am not sure where to start with this.
Some potentially relevant apsects of the swf:
Most of the objects on the stage have chachAsBitmap set to true and we are applying a gradient mask to most of the stage, so there is a good amount of processing going on and I know thishas caused some other redraw oddities.
The frame rate is set to a very slow 4fps, and movie is controlled from a timmer.
Any leads would be appreciated.
The tester reporting this was using Chrome 9.0.597.107 and Flash player 11.3.300.26

Thank you very much! I was not aware of the ThrottleEvent, I'll try forcing a redraw when I recieve it.
Reading the documentation, it says the frame rate drops typically to between 2 and 8 fps. If I am running at 4 fps, with the swf still throttle down and back up? After reading this document http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c36cfb8137124318eebc6-8000.html I assume yes, but do you know if that is the case.
Hopefully the client will let me up the minimum player version to 11.2
Thanks again

Why my program does not loop back during invalid input?

          boolean invalidNum = false;
                  //Questionnaire Number
                    do {
                    System.out.print("Enter Questionnaire Number [ ] ");
                      try
                           inputQuestionnAireNum = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());
                           if(inputQuestionnAireNum <0 || inputQuestionnAireNum>100){
                                System.out.print("Invalid: please enter between 1 to 100 \n");
                           } else {
                                invalidNum = true;
                      catch (NumberFormatException e)
                        System.out.print("Invalid try again \n");
                    } while (!invalidNum);
                    //Age input
                    do {
                         System.out.print("Enter Age [ ] ");
                           try
                                inputQuestionnAireNum = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());
                                if(inputAge <0 || inputAge>100){
                                     System.out.print("Invalid: please enter between 1 to 100 \n");
                                } else {
                                     invalidNum = true;
                           catch (NumberFormatException e)
                             System.out.print("Invalid try again \n");
                         } while (!invalidNum);
                    //Postal code
                    System.out.print("Enter Postal Code [ ] ");
                    inputPostCode = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());Result:
1 new entry or 0 print1
Enter Questionnaire Number [ ] w
Invalid try again
Enter Questionnaire Number [ ] 33
Enter Age [ ] w
Invalid try again
Enter Postal Code [ ]
why age input does not loop back and prompt for re-enter during invalid input ? instead it proceed to print the next line.

Apparently because you don't reset "invalidNum" after the first loop.
Your code would be a lot easier to read if you didn't use the word "invalid" to mean "valid".

Swf does not load the images on the web

I made a swf that works perfectly on my computer.
The swf does not load the images, cal with the buttons, when I use the swf on the web.
I think the problem is due to the fact that the web changes the path of the file, that is called with the following variable:
var ImmageUrl: String = "MyFolder2 /" + MynamePic + ".jpg";
The path is C:/MyFolder1 "(with the swf)" /MyFolder2 "(with the pics)"
Any hint ?
Thank you.

When you place an swf in a web page, any files that the swf loads have to be targeted as if the swf is sitting in the same folder as the html page. If you have the swf in a different folder than the html page, then you need to adjust the paths for the files it loads so that it acts as if it is in the html page's folder.

Flash swf in browser does not loop no matter what - bug?

Hello all!
http://www.adslgr.com
I have some banner ads in Flash (not mine, but from the
advertisers who have years of experience with flash) in my website
and unfortunately they do NOT loop no matter what I have tried!
They stop just before they finish the first loop.
When i load them on a browser locally they happily loop with
no problem, but if they are served from a web server then they
don't.
I have tried the following and nothing worked:
Removed the params in the object/embed tags
Tried it on many different browsers *and computers* some of
them are IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 2.0 etc
Decompiled the SWF to .fla source and reviewd the code and
found nothing wrong with actionscript
Added the loop param according to adobe instructions
And many more tests which mothing worked and it drives me
crazy!!
Please take a look at the website and you'll see this by
yourself, all of them are NOT looping EXCEPT the last one in the
bootm which has no problem at all.
Please help me out...

try this

Why does Captivate 6 create mp4 files that the swf does not playback clearly?

Captivate 5 created a .swf which suited my training purposes very nicely. There were swf files in the library, embedded in the (rather large) .swf that I asked the students to run. Now it seems that Captivate 6.0.1.240 won't do that. Captivate 6 creates external mp4 files for the video portion (audio is separately recorded mp3 that is imported to the finished demo video slide) and they look terrible when the .swf runs them. Those mp4 look fine on their own but the .swf must resize them to properly fit with the TOC on the screen.
The HTML created when I make the .swf looks fine but it does not all fit on the screen as does the .swf so I don't like it and don't want to use it. Thanks, in advance, for any replies and suggestions.

Hi llstewart,
I assume you are launching your program from C drive. Are any
components of Captivate stored on the remote drive? (I am thing
your user profile, are you the only person who accesses Captivate
from that machine?)
Does this happen all the time?
What I have noticed in my own network is that there are
periodic "dropped" connections on the network. I have never figured
out what it causing this, but Captivate does not like it. (Every
once in awhile if Word or Excel are writing to a file on a share,
they will become thoroughly corrupted too.)
The problem with Captivate is that it needs a lot of a
computer's resources and takes what it can get. It also seems to
write to a temp file a lot (while a capture is taking place) an
only "binds" it up when the user stops and ends the session. The
only thing I can think of is that during this process there is a
inturruption in your network.
Sorry I couldn't fully answer your question.
I would try (if you can) loading the software on a machine
that is not on the network and try to do a series of long captures
and see if the problem persists.
I work in a large network and I do not have the problem, but
I have also installed the software myself and made sure of the
installation. I also make sure the program I am recording is local
(whenever possible). Additionally, do you have problems with any
other programs and corrupted files?
Again, sorry I don't have a quick answer.

Placed .swf does not play correctly

I have placed a .swf on a page. When exported to pdf the movie does not play correctly. It plays correctly before being placed. I used flash cs4 actionscript 3 to create the .swf.
I have selected the highest level for pdf when exporting.

ok! I figured it out. This is what is happening. Apparently when you place a .swf in indesign and make a button on the page to show the movie when clicked and then export to pdf -- there is a time delay from the time you click on the button and the movie starts to play in a floating window. Its just a few frames of 24 fps movie but that is enought for whatever gaget that reads the movie to miss the first few frames.
So in effect any info in the first few frames is not read. So i had a stop on the first frame that was not being read. I put the stop on frame 7 and now it plays just like I had hoped.
I hope this helps anybody else out that has had a similar problem.

Live SWF Does not autoplay

I have googled and searched for anyone that may have had this problem but cannot find anything so I am asking here.
I have a flash object embedded in a page as such.
<object width="640" height="377">
<param name="movie" value="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="src=rtmp%3A%2F%2F203.9.149.28%2Flive%2FC1&autoPlay=true"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="377" flashvars="src=rtmp%3A%2F%2F203.9.149.28%2Flive%2FC1&autoPlay=true"></embed>
</object>
However when the client loads the page the stream does not autoplay, even though the option is set. It begins to buffer the stream and it says 'Buffering' but it never starts. If I click the pause button then hit play, it will start after a short buffering period.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, this seems to be Flash Player issue. I have downloaded and installed FP 11 beta and after removing it and getting the latest official version FP 10.3 back, SWF autoplay starts to work again....
Hopefully this will be fixed before FP 11 launch...

CS5.5 swf fine CS6 swf does not display in browser

I did a flash project for a client in CS5 and CS5.5. I have done periodic updates in 5.5 over the last year with no problems. I just did another update and now that I'm in CS6 I saved as a CS6 .swf. But when I upload the index.html file to the server I do not get the swf. I get a whitebox with the title page the the player securuty message. I then created two index.html files, one with the CS5.5 swf and one with the CS6 swf, uploaded to the server ( site server) and I get the same thing, CS5.5 isplays and CS6 does not. I looked at the embed codes and the only diference I see is the CS6 calls the Flash 15 player. I'm up to date as far as players go so I tried to change the 15 to player 11 ( thats the palyer the CS5.5 swf calls) and I still get the same result.
below are two links to the files, can someone see if there is another issue here causing this as I'm lost.
http://goldenfilms.tv/indexGOOD.html - works fine ( swf was created in CS5.5 )
http://goldenfilms.tv/indexCS6.html - DOES NOT DISPLAY ( swf was created in CS6)
anyone?
R

yes, you're using problematic embedding code: <param name="swfversion" value="12.0.0.0" />
open your fla with cs 5.5 or cs6, whichever you want to use. publish an html file using flash and test with that html file. if there's no reason to check for flash player version, don't tick "detect flash player version" in the publish settings. if there is a reason to check , tick it and specify the required player version (and pick a version that currently exists).

Swf does not work

I used coffee cup web vide player to convert a movie to a
flash file. Everything works fine on my computer but the uploaded
html page does not run the animation... it loads fine the player, I
can see the buttons but when I press play nothing happens... anyway
the swf should work just for loading the html without even press
any button.
If I test the file on the ftp site it also works fine.
Can anybody help?

Swf does not play in IE

I have a client who wants his logo in flash. I'm using swfobject to include the swf, but it does not play in IE8 unless I specify compatibility mode.
The site is here...
     thefinancialtap.com
What am I missing?

I'd suggest you get rid of all the IE conditional statement stuff and only use the single <object>, IE will handle that just fine... with or without swfobject.
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
            <param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
            <param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>
According to your DOCTYPE this validation service agrees. Validate your page here:
http://validator.w3.org/
Notice what is says about the first (IE targeted) <object>.

ITunes video playlist does not loop when using apple tv/airplay

I have made a video playlist in itunes, I have made sure that each video file is not set to "skip when shuffled" and I have also gone into appletv settings and ensured that looping is turned on. When I shuffle this playlist, it plays through airplay to my apple tv, but after each video in the playlist has played the playlist stops.
I would like the playlist to continue indefinitely until I decide to press stop. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this does not happen?

Imported .mov (or .swf) does not function

Greetings.
My company created a flash video that I need to pre-pend to
my .swf as an introduction.
I tried to import it into the library but when I did, the
movie started behaving differently once I put it on the stage. So I
tried to export as a .mov, then import to the library. Again, it
does not behave the same way.
Try it yourself. Download the movie here:
right click here and
choose "save as"
Then watch the movie. There are little green people in the
movie. They start floating towards the center and form a grid. Now
import the movie to your library. Put it on your stage and watch
the video. The number of little green people is less. Some green
people stay stuck against the edges. The grid is nolonger formed.
Help?
I'm using Flash 8.
-Matt

Hi Tim,
Thanks for share file. I insert these swf file in PP2003 and PP2007 but was not able to reproduce the issue.
If you can share Published output (please share complete published folder) and the presentation in which you are seeing this issue, then it will be easier for me to look into the problem.
Regards,
Shubhi

SWF does not play after publish.... OS compatibility bug?

I have embedded SWFs that will not play once the Presenter file is published. They appear to be "frozen" on the first frame.
Here's the setup:
The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
They are not Captivate files.
PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64bit
BUT, I can open the same file on another computer with this setup, and it publishes just fine.
The SWFs are scripted in AS2 (not AS3)
SWFs are built in Flash Pro CS5 and are published to Flash Player 9.
They are not Captivate files.
PowerPoint 2007 (12.0.6535.5002) SP2 MSO (12.6535.5002)
Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588
Microsoft Windows Vista Business
The only difference appears to be my OS. Does anyone know of any bugs with Presenter in Windows 7?
UPDATE:
As I type this, literally, I got a notice that there's a Presenter 7.0.6 Update. So I went ahead and installed it on the Windows 7 box. Republished the Presenter course, and wouldn't you know it... the SWFs are now playing!
The patch says this: The Adobe® Presenter 7.0.6 update resolves Adobe Presenter's compatibility issues with PowerPoint 2010 and some important issues identified in Adobe Presenter 7.0.5 (Although the patch site doesn't bother providing us with a list of what those important issues are! Thanks Adobe, you rock.)
--- Well, it fixes MY issue for Windows 7/Presenter 7/PowerPoint 2007 too.

See the updated within the post. Installing the 7.0.6 patch was the fix.
