Hi AxshunJaxun. Have done a bit more testing & web searching and found that I can rename My Documents but not Application Data. Looks like Application Data has some sort of special status in XP and it's the opsys doing the renaming of both copy & source. Since I can keep multiple copies of My Documents and can live with having to make multiple copies of individual Apps. under Application Data I'll go with that. Thanks for your help.

Why doesnt my swf file play on the server?

why doesnt my swf file play on the server? but it plays on my computer.
what do i need to do to make it work?

It easier to see why the file might not be playing on the server if you provide a link to the file on the server. That allows for checking if files are where they should be.
In your case you may want to do some repairs on the html file that you linked. It appears as though the tags are out of whack and possibly the embedding is as well. What you should do is let Flash generate the html page when you publish the swf. You are normally going to get the best results letting Flash create the embedding code.

Strange Problem - All of my preloaded .swf files play at once

Hey guys,
I've been getting a strange problem that I haven't been able to debug. I recently developed an interactive audio and video treatment program that users click through in which a master swf file (DTM-Start.swf) uses ActionScript upon first being loaded to load the rest of the program in the background. Here's how the code looks:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
// create movieclip objects to hold the loaded movies
var intr1:MovieClip;
var maladaptIntr1:MovieClip;
var maladaptIntr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var maladaptIntr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Maladapt1.swf");
maladaptIntr1Loader.load(maladaptIntr1Request);
maladaptIntr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, maladaptIntr1Loaded);
var intr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var intr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Intr1.swf");
intr1Loader.load(intr1Request);
intr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, intr1Loaded);
function maladaptIntr1Loaded(event:Event):void
    maladaptIntr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
    maladaptIntr1.stop();
    addChild(maladaptIntr1);
    maladaptIntr1.y = -1000
    trace("maladaptIntr1");
function intr1Loaded(event:Event):void
    intr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
    intr1.stop();
    addChild(intr1);
    intr1.y = -1000
    trace("intr1");
function playIntr1() {
   intr1.y = 0;
   intr1.play();
function playMaladapt1() {
    maladaptIntr1.y = 0;
    maladaptIntr1.play();
So that's the idea. What's strange is that when I load a .swf file compiled with AIR 2.6 (because the user interacts with the movie and a text file is output) it's fine too, but as soon as I add any actionscript, even if it's just a stop() command, to a .swf file compiled with AIR, the DTM-Start.swf loads and then plays all of the movies simultaneously so they're all going off at once. Essentially, flash seems to be ignoring the maladaptIntr.stop() command in the Loaded function, for instance. I just don't understand why adding any Actionscript whatsoever to a .swf compiled with AIR would make my DTM-Start do this. I am very confident this is the issue too, because loading .swf files compiled with the FlashPlayer with action script are fine...AIR .swf files without Actionscript are fine too, it's only AIR .swf files with ANY actionscript that cause this problem....
Any ideas?
Much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ricky

One solution is simply to have a stop() in the constructor of the document Class of each swf you're loading. Another solution is something like:
package {
     class MainDocument extends MovieClip {
     protected var swfs:Array = ['DTM-Maladapt1.swf', 'DTM-Intr1.swf'];
     protected var positions:Array = [{x:0, y:0}, {x:0, y:0}];
     protected var movies:Array /*of MovieClips*/ = [];
     protected var loadIndex:int;
     protected var playIndex:int;
     protected var curremtMovie:MovieClip;
          public function MainDocument() {
               super();
               loadMovie(loadIndex);
          protected function loadMovie(loadIndex:int):void {
               var loader:Loader = new Loader;
               loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
               loader.load(new URLRequest(swfs[loadIndex]));
          protected function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
               var mc:MovieClip = LoaderInfo(e.currentTarget).content as MovieClip;
               mc.stop();
               var position:Object = positions[loadIndex];
               mc.x = positions.x;
               mc.y = positions.y;
               addChild(mc);
               movies[movies.length] = mc;
               loadIndex++;
               if (loadIndex<swfs.length) {
                    loadMovie(loadInxed);
               } else {
                    playMovie(playIndex);
          protected function playMovie(playIndex):void{
               if (currentMovie) {
                    currentMovie.stop();
               currentMovie = movies[playIndex];
               currentMovie.play();
Note that with this approach you don't need to create a whole new set of logic each time you want to add a new swf to load.

How can I get my swf files playing on browser?

Hello,
I've been designing my first website and have used dreamweaver, which is very new to me. I've followed a very good beginners guide to making websites and all was well. However, it had nothing about uploading swf files. So I did some research, and found that the easiest way was to insert them into a div box using the media section and choosing swf. again all was well, I can preview it in chrome etc.. and all works fine.
I've come to uploading my site and I've used filezilla, uploaded all the files but I can't see the swf playing on the website. I've looked into it and I just can't find the answer. I've tried uploading them directly into the root folder as well but that doesn't work.
Can somebody please help me!!
here are the links:
www.creativecanvassing.co.uk = the swf should be positioned between the orange logo and the "national direct marketing company' text. There is also the section in picture which has the same problem
not too sure how to attach the copy of the file that shows its all working
Thanks

Hello,

Swf file plays in IE8 but not Firefox or Safari

I've inserted an swf file in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert/Media/swf function. It plays fine in IE8 but won't work at all in Firefox or Safari. I can view flash files in other websites using these browsers and I've updated my version of flash so I can only put it down to a coding thing. Website is www.201.com.au and the Dreamweaver code follows. Any suggestions??
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="958" height="242" id="FlashID" title="201_Gallery">
      <param name="movie" value="../flash/201.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
        </div>
        
      </object>
      
    </object>

The code you have posted is not the same code as used in:
<div id="gallery">
in the link above.
The reason that the Flash is not displaying in FF is that the portion of the code used by FF was omitted. The code currently used on the page only works in IE.
I'm no great fan of the IE conditional statements used in the code you posted so I don't blame you for not using it. But you do need to provide something for FF.... the old, out dated method would be to add and <embed> for FF... here's the newer method..
So either use code you posted above or better yet, get rid of that and replace the current <object> with
<div id="gallery">
<object id="FlashID" data="flash/201.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="958" height="242">
   <param name="movie" value="flash/201.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0"/>
</object>
</div>
Give that a try. Will work in both FF and newer IE versions.

SWF File - Play this slide OK, Preview Not

I converted a video AVI file to a SWF file and inserted it into a slide. Selecting "play this slide" results in the video animation playing without problem. Selecting "preview" the project, or multiple signs results in only the audio playing for the slide, no video.

Can I have a .swf file play in a lightbox-type window on link click?

Hello,
I have a thumbnail on my page that I would like to link to a video. However, I do not want it to open in a new tab or window, rather, I'd just like it to appear like a lightbox display, fading out the background and playing the video within the same page. The viewer should be able to close out or click off of the video at any point to return to the original page.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Placing a .swf file (Ctrl+D) in a Lightbox display Composition widget should not be a problem while having your thumbnail image in the trigger.

Swf file playback problems but not in IE, Chrome or Opera

Anybody have any ideas on FF not playing the swf file uploaded when it works fine in the other browsers? It sits spinning as if uploading forever. This was the case with version 3.6 then I upgraded to 4.0 and the same. I have updated the flash player to the latest also and still the same.

Percent of SWF file played based on frames

I have a Flash file created with 585 frames. I'd like to show
the percentage played of the SWF file as it's playing based on
frames and not based on bytes loaded. I don't really need it to
play a preloader, I simply want to give the viewer an idea of how
far along they are as the SWF file is played.
Thanks for helping.

You just need to put a textfield on the Stage with the text
tool, and select 'dynamic' in the properties panel and give the
field an 'instance name' (I used percent_txt in the code below for
the instance name). select a font and size, etc. then embed the
font by selecting the 'embed' button and select 'numbers' and
'puncuation' (unless you wantto use other characters in the field).
that sets up a dynamic field, which is a field that you can 'put'
text into using script and change it when you want by assigning new
text to it.
and for the code, let's see ... use something like:

PPT swf file upload problem. Image is massive

I am having a problem putting my PPT swf file into my meeting room. I used iSpring to convert it into the swf file and the converted file opens in flashplayer perfectly with the navigation bar at the bottom. When I load it into my meeting room, it's huge and won't fit into the room properly. I can't seem to resize it to get it all in the share pod at the same time. Even if I make the share pod tiny, it still only show about 2/3 of a tiny presentation.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated. A different program to convert? A different way of getting it into the meeting room? I am on day two of this and it is making my head hurt.

It sounds like a caching problem.
Try disabling caching in your JSP and also in your internet browser.

Why won't swf file play embedded videos?

I created a swf file in inDesign. I embedded 3 videos within the document, all of which are embedded (stored on my host's server). I created the videos in Premiere Pro, saving them as H.264 (mp4), with sound codec AAC. I placed each video on its appropriate page in inDesign using the media dialogue box, choosing a poster image and a set of controls that become visible when hovered over. The swf file I placed onto a webpage in Adobe Muse, then uploaded that page to its host. When the website comes up, and I click on the page that holds the swf file, it looks good ... I have page-turning applied, and that works fine. But, when I go to click on a video, the frame just disappears.
Here's the caveat: After saving the swf file, I opted for it to open in my browser window. When inspecting the file in the browser, the videos work fine.
I have opened the webpage in Chrome, Firefox & IE, but the videos won't play.
Here's a link to the webpage:
www.fridayharborpowersquadron.com/newsletter.html
Please help, if you can. I would hate to have to start over by rebuilding every single page in inDesign file inside of Muse (since Muse can't take a PDF file. I thought about saving each ID page as a jpg, then building a fullscreen slideshow in Muse, then placiing each page inside of the slideshow presentation .. then writing html code into those jpg pages in order to link my videos from vimeo or youtube ... but I dont' want to go that route. I've put in way too many hours as it is.
Sure hope someone can help ...

Also, where you live is a consideration. I live in East Africa, and due to the servers in the surrounding areas, I had to subscribe to a VPN as well as make sure I had the right plugins.

SWF file animation problem - CS4

Hi,
I've been trying to inset this specific AS2 swf file (accordion.swf) into captivate CS4 and the animation does not seem to work after publication. I was wondering if anyone out there with their vast experience can help me with this and will be deeply grateful for your help.
This animation is similar to an Accordion animation in that when the learner hovers their mouse over the titles (Fixed, Mobile, etc..), the rest of the panels collapse and only the panel of interest, displayed.
I have included a test.cp file if someone wants to have a go.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Vikranth,
I'm mystified how you got it to work by just changing the setting to AS3 in Cp4.
I tried the same but I just get a blank screen, and rightly so because the file is written in actionscript AS2. So the actionscript syntax evidently is not AS3.
If the syntax of the original FLA file is not AS3, how can it work in Cp4 with the AS3 setting, or in Cp5 which does not run AS2 anyway?
Try clicking on the accordion.swf file with the ziop file at the location below. Hover you mouse over the titles of the panels and they slide as intended. But inserting the same into a cp4 file stops it working.

Jtapi - file playing problem

Hi all,
I am a Software Engineer, and programming in java since 2002. But now first time, I am working on a telephony application using JTAPI.
I have a dialogic card (D/41-ESC) to play with.
My code is working fine, it is dialing out, receiving calls, recording users voice and receiving DTMF input. All state and events are also according to documentations.
But i am facing problem at palying of sound (wav/au) file from application to telephone. No exception occurs during execution.
Please guide me what may be the problem.
(FYI. I have no sound card on my system)
looking for early reply. thanks in advance

Hi,
I need a help to make use of TTS in JTAPI 1.4 version. As there is no sample program for this JTAPI 1.4 package, am facing an issue to write a program to play a wave file. Am using Freetts to convert the text file into wave file with 8000 hz frequency. But to play till now I've used usePlayURL method to play the file. But the voice is not clear & soft. So our team preferred to choose a better voice using some other TTS engine & also make a try of TTS in JTAPI 1.4. But the existing source files are just a body for all each interfaces in that package. Don't know to make use of the interface methods.
Kindly guide me to proceed my task.
Welcoming the suggestions....
Thanks & Regards,
