Swf file not showing text

I have revamped my website and for some reason I cannot get
the whole .swf to show the text after i put it through Dreamweaver.
when i look at the .html file and play the .swf file everything
works just fine. I have this as my home page and need all my text
to show properly.
I have links within the website going back to home page and
the .swf file show the text like it should. Is this a Flash 8 issue
or a Dreamweaver problem?
Here is my website and someone can browse and hopefully see
what i am talking about. If you go to one fo the other page and
click on home page you see that the page looks different from the
www.joanrobertsfoundation.com page.
Please help me understand what i could possibly be doing
wrong.

Here's a sample I made for someone here a couple weeks ago to demo something much the same as what you want. They were trying to reproduce what the flv movie does which is played along with it. Maybe you will see something different bertween what you've done and what is in the file linked below (if you can open it)...

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

SWF file not showing in browser

Hi all,
I have inserted a swf file into a webpage in dreamweaver CS5 that needs to have a transparent background.
I have done all the necessary things in flash and set the "wmode" to "transparent" in the parameters section in DW.
This is where the problem arises. It displays with an opaque backbround but when I change it to transparent it disappears completely.
here is the offending page:
http://www.makeupbydoll.com/
I had the same thing working on a previous version of the site but can't seem to resolve this issue.
Any assistance much appreciated!
~Alister~

Looks like your swfobject embed method is not working correctly. Turn off swfobject and test again without it.
In the <head> just rename the swfobject file so that it won't load.... easy to change.. test... change back again:
Change this:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
to this:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified_off.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you'll see I just appended "_off" to the file name, then save and test the page... quick and easy way to turn off that file... then test again.
Best wishes,

In search results, Summary sometimes shows the top of file, not the text I searched for

I'm searching lots of html files, it's a web site that's not imported into Sharepoint. Search is returning the correct files, but about half the time the Summary contains the text at the top of the html file, not the text surrounding the text I searched
for. It's a big problem, users have to open the file then find the search text to see if it's useful.
If I search for 'potato' here's an example Summary which is ok:
All pages in issue FTDA-1983-0409:
00010002000300040005000600070008000900100011001200130014001500160017001800190020
… today's dieticians, the potato … most of us enjoy a
potato cooked …
Here's a Summary just showing text from the top of the file, 'potato' is present, but lower in the file:
0001000200030004000500060007000800090010001100120013001400150016001700180019002000210022002300240025002600270028
… issue: date: January 19, 1980, page …
Could anyone help me get it to consistently show the text around the search text please?

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.
Does this only happen on one specific website?
Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
It is possible that there is a problem with that web page and that there is a clear:both CSS rule missing that causes Firefox to start the next line at the horizontal position where the previous line ended.
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

SWF File not working after upload to server, but works on local system

HELP PLEASE.....I have created a Fla and exported a swf file
from Flash 8 and Export (Flash 6). I can preview the page in
Dreamweaver just fine, but when i upload it and the html file, it
isn't showing up. It leaves a blank spot on the page. It is just a
simple banner with graphic clips and motion tween text, with image
bgd. All images are jpg.
I have tried:
1. Using a full link to the swf file.
2. Removed drop-shodows in swf file
3. convert to Flash mx 2004 file
4. Exported to higher Flash version to see if the flash
player was an issue.
5. Exported with no dashes in name
6. Added Scr file into Dreamweaver
7. Made a new test file to see if it was something in the
current html doc, same result.
8. Tried viewing on a pc, same result. Created on mac.
Here is the test page if anyone wants to take a look.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
Test
Page Link

The link you provided is to the SWF file, not to an HTML
file, so no one can test your HTML file.
Have you checked the code for the embedding of the SWF file
in your HTML file? I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I do know that
if you start assembling a Dreamweaver file without first saving the
HTML, embedded graphics and other items are inserted as direct
links to the files on your computer, rather than as relative paths.
There is one other possible issue: I note that your swf is
called CWABanner.swf. Depending on your FTP settings, it is
possible that your server is forcing all file names to lower case
(a common practice). Which means the file on your server will be
cwabanner.swf. Again, depending on how the web server is set up, if
it is case sensitive, it will treat CWABanner and cwabanner as
separate files. So if the HTML calls CWABanner.swf, but the FTP
upload has forced a rename to lower case to cwabanner.swf, the HTML
file will not find it. Check this out, or to be absolutely certain,
rename everything to lower case: the file name itself and the
reference in the HTML file.

Loading swf file with dynamic text

For a website I'm creating I'm going to have a main swf file
that loads individual swf files for each page. Each page's swf file
loads in external text files through dynamic text boxes so i can
edit the website easily. To load the swf files into the main swf
file I'm using the loader component. Everything works fine except
thedynamic text boxes of the swf files that are nestled in the main
one do not load properly. Instead, in each text box i get a message
similar to this:
_level0.NewsLoader.contentHolder.News1
NewsLoader is the instance of the loader component, and News1
is a variable called in through a dynamic text field from the html
document entitled News1.html. The individual news swf file loads
the text properly, but when the news swf file is loaded into the
main swf file the text is replaced with the message above.
Any suggestions?

the problem might be due to the changed references if you
load the movie into another one.
is NewsLoader a MovieClip instance inside the main movie or
inside the mc that is loaded into the main movie?
If it resides inside the exteranly loaded movie, you will
either need to use the lockroot attribute or use a relative
reference to the News1 variable.
Since the _level0 always points to the _root timeline (the
one of the outer most movieclip) _level0 used in the external mc is
different once the external movieclip is loaded into another movie.
I suggest only using relative references, makes live much
easier.

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

File not showing in SharePoint (IE) but visible in Explorer

I have a document library that has a single file not showing up that I can't seem to track down. I am hoping someone here might be able to offer something I haven't thought of.
The document library is very much 'stock'. Verisioning is turned on and minor revisions aren't viewable to folks without edit rights. I am the admin with full control to everything - as is the user this initially impacted. The file will show
in the Explorer view - but isn't viewable in an 'all files' file via the browser or when attempting to open via Excel. If we provide the full path/file it does open successfully in Excel and offer the Check Out option - but it won't show up
in the 'File Open' dialog.
I thought at first it might be a matter of not having a version checked in - but it isn't showing under "Manage files which have no checked in version" menu. I've gone through the various SharePoint view options and can't find anything there either.
What would make a single Excel file in such an ordinary document library not be visible to users with full control rights? We have roughly 80k files stored in SharePoint overall - so please don't read this as being our initial test of SharePoint.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...
-Troy

Just to add a few more details. I have been able to add the file to a different library and they uploaded fine. The library in question is created off of a template and has 2 metadata fields. The fields are also being used in the other library, but that
was created from a different template.
The site and initial 4 libraries were created from a site template and then the library was added from a different library template. Checking ULS logs now, but doubtful I will find anything.

How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
        String string;
        try {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
            char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
            br.close();
            string= sb.toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jing

You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to download photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please?

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

IPhoto files not showing up in list

I have many photos on my new MacBook Pro, but when I try to "attach" them to emails, they are not showing up in the listing. I am a new Mac user, but so I don't know how to explain this. If this was a PC, it would be like files not showing up under "My Computer." PhotoBooth photos are listed though. Why is this?

Then something has happened to the permission and or attribute settings on your folders to mark files saved in them as hidden.
Try this Terminal command to show all files and you can turn it off by changing the true to false at the end of the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
If you then see your files tere is a problem with files being market as hidden when they are saved. Create a New Folder in the Root of the drive and look at its Get Info window and post a screen shot of it in this thread.

External swf file not using URLRequest

Good morning guys.
You can load an external swf file not using URLRequest? Since embed html code is setted as <param value="never" name="allowscriptaccess"/>
I have this problem and I need to load a swf skin
thank you

are you loading a swf (done during runtime) or importing one (done during authortime)?
in either case, the allowscriptaccess parameter of the external swf (that your loading or importing) is irrelevant. allowscriptaccess is assigned in the main (loading or importing) swf's embedding html page and is used to control html/js access of the main and loaded swfs.
if you trust the swf you're loading, you can change allowscriptacess to always. if you're importing a swf, none of its actionscript will execute anyway so it doesn't matter whether its trusted or not.

Lightroom 4.1 can not show text correctly

lightroom 4.1 can not show text correctly when publish in PDF and blurb format
the text can be show correctly in JPEG format
but lightroom 4.0 can show correctly with the same book.
i cant publish my book on blurb now

I don't think LR4 adjustments can be directly sent to CS4, because CS4 cannot interpret LR4's new processing engine.
I think you have to use Edit In... and create a TIF or PSD and send those to CS4
