Swf file stays in cache and used in additional visits?

If I have 5 HTML pages, each with the SAME swf embedded in them (..and that swf has a preloader sequence at the start that cycles through a LOADING sequence, before continuing on with the rest of the movie, if all the frames are not loaded yet...), will visiting one of the other pages (after viewing a first one) result in the swf embedded in it to skip the preload sequence (since it would already be loaded in the browser cache), or would it have to load all the frames again, each time you visit one of the pages?

Darn... Still having issues.
My swf is structured like this:
Frame 1: Blank... Checks if all frames loaded (to detect a revisit). If so, jump to 'Loaded' label
Frame 2: ('Preloader' label): Display preloader background and percentage display. Check if all bytes loaded, if so jump to 'Reveal' label
Frame 3: Go to 'Preloader' label
Frame 4 ('Reveal' label): Main content appears in layers below preloader background, preloader background slides away, revealing them.
Frame 20 ('Loaded' label): Unobstructed main content
Theory here would be that on the first load, the preloader would kick in if needed (showing the load progress), then sliding away to reveal the main content. If the connection is fast enough, it skips right up to the main content (no preloader screen or transition). On return visits, since all pages are using the same swf (which should now be stored in the cache), all the frames should register as loaded, and so you just go straight to the unobstructed contect.
A few flaws with that theory...
1) Since the initial 'frames loaded' check is on the first frame, it would probably never register as having all frames loaded (unless you have a ridiculously fast connection). Only time it (in theory) would work is on a revisit...
2) ...which brings me to a newly discovered flaw in my logic. Even with the swf in cache, it still needs to be 'loaded' (...it's just a lot faster than from the Internet... but nonetheless a non-instant 'load'). So, I would think now that you'd never get the initial 'frames loaded' scan seeing 'all frames loaded'.
Ugh....
Only solution I can think of is to extend the initial 'blank frame' (frame 1) to a few frames duration, and putting the initial 'frames loaded' check at the end of that, allowing a highspeed connection to fully load the cached swf by the time the inital check is performed..... but that would give you a longer gap before something appears...
So, now I either have the preloader just 'pop' away (without a nice transition out)... or live with the preloader background appearing on entry of the page, and transitioning out. I could actually live with the traditional 'door opens on arrival, door closes on leaving' routine... if only the main content actually changed in some way (justifying the doors closing).... But, since it's the same swf being used each time, the content is identical.
Just looks like I'll have to accept a compromise of one type or another...

I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down eliminate

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Aperture import plug-in won't run. After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out. Any thoughts?

Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out. My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address. In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive. (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)

Font in SWF file different once inserted and previewed in Captivate 5

I have inserted a SWF File as an animation into my captivate 5 movie. When I view the SWF file independently, thus, outside of Captivate, the font looks exactly as it should: in Arial. However, once I have inserted the SWF file into Captivate and preview the Animation, the font changes to something which looks like Times New Roman.
A colleague tested the file on her computer also and experienced the same issue.
Does anyone have an idea what could solve this? Does a setting need to be changed in Flash or in Captivate?
Thank you so much!!

OK. Changing to a different font to test is a good strategy. Stick with a standard Windows font, e.g. Verdana.
There have been some issues with fonts getting corrupted that were reported several months ago when Cp5 first came out. Caused some wierd behaviour including preventing Cp from opening at all: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3441458#3441458
Hope yours turns out to be something much simpler.

.swf file hangs in Firefox and Safari

I'm having a problem viewing content with .swf files in Firefox. It's weird because it worked two days ago. I'm wondering if a Flash or Firefox update caused the problem.
Here is a link to the site I'm trying to view.
http://digitalperfection.info/woodsbros/7621sanmateo/
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Leona

It hangs on my system too, so I'd say the problem is in the site or the swf, and definitely not in FF, Safari, or Flashplayer.

How to convert cXML dtd files into xsd format and use them into BPEL application

Hi,
In my BPEL application I have to use cXML dtd files by converting them into xsd format.
I have used 'Microsoft Visual Studio' for converting cXML.dtd file into xsd format, for this 1 dtd file I am getting three xsd files (cXML.xsd, cXML1.xsd and cXML2.xsd).
Please check this once and let me know
1. why I am getting three xsd files for one dtd file,
2. how can I use cXML.xsd file in my application, do I ll have to use all the three files in my BPEL app and
3. what should I include in main xsd file (cXML.xsd) to import other two xsd files.
kindly check this once and let me know your suggestions .
Thanks

Hi,
While downloading the cXML dtd there will be example xml files. Using this xml's we can generate xsd.

Swf. file only shows skin and no video! Please Help!

I've created a flash video that tests great in flash, in its folder with its skin and flv. component and even in Dreamweaver test. But when I upload all of the files onto my server it will show only the empty player with the skin progress bar looking green hash-marked. Does anyone know what is wrong? For some reason it looks like it can't find the .flv.
I've the latest version of Flash and Dreamweaver and the .swf file works great until it is actually uploaded on my site. All the files are in their own folder, in my site folder.
Is there a proper way to put these 3 files on the site? I usually just pull the files into the folder on my computer and refresh and then upload. My other videos appear to work but this is a re-ocurring problem!
Thanks to anyone for their help!!!
East

The Flash will not likely be able to load the file from your harddrive if it is on the server... hopefully your browser would prevent any online file from being able to access files on your harddrive.
You will know if the file is dynamically loaded or not if you physically placed the flv contents into the Flash files (manual) or you just provide the name of the file for the Flash file to load (dynamic).

How can load properties file for one time and use in entire application

Hi folks,
I dont want to read properties file every time , and want to get property value in any servelet or jsp page.(means i want to read only property file only for once and want to get value in any where ) , how to do this.

means we have to read file every time Know but i dont
want to be happen that ??? No you don't . You read the file once. You store it in the hashmap. Then you hand that hashmap to whatever class needing the data.
getProperties() returns the hashmap, doesn't read the file.
Maybe I should have called the method getMap or something.

Why don't .swf files seem to cache on a browser?

I'm using Safari on Mac OS X 10. I've got a 3 mb .swf on a
web page. It seems that if I hit a "refresh" on the browser, it
loads the whole thing from the beginning, with the progress bar and
everything. I don't have anything set to clear the cache as far as
I know. Is this normal?
What I'm trying to do is have a movie that shows a bunch of
operating screens from some software as different frames that you
can navigate to, like a virtual version of the software. I had
hoped that once the user had already loaded the movie, that i could
provide URLs (in other web pages) that link directly to various
pages of the movie using FlashVars. This works sort of, but it
reloads the entire movie from the beginning with each different
URL. Is there some way to keep the movie in memory so that this
doesn't need to happen?

How can i read all the lines from a text file in specific places and use the data ?

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(@"c:\wmiclasses\wmiclasses1.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
if (lines[i].StartsWith("ComboBox"))
And this is how the text file content look like:
ComboBox Name cmbxOption
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
ComboBox Name cmbxStorage
Classes Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting
Classes Win32_TapeDrive
What i need to do is some things:
1. Each time the line start with ComboBox then to get only the ComboBox name from the line for example cmbxOption.
Since i have already this ComboBoxes in my form1 designer i need to identify where the cmbxOption start and end and when the next ComboBox start cmbxStorage.
2. To get all the lines of the current ComboBox for example this lines belong to cmbxOption:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
3. To create from each line a Key and Value for example from the line:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Then the key will be Win32_1394Controller and the value will be only 1394Controller
Then the second line key Win32_1394ControllerDevice and value only 1394ControllerDevice
4. To add to the correct belonging ComboBox only the value 1394Controller.
5. To make that when i select in the ComboBox for example in cmbxOption the item 1394Controller it will act like i selected Win32_1394Controller.
For example in this event:
private void cmbxOption_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
InsertInfo(cmbxOption.SelectedItem.ToString(), ref lstDisplayHardware, chkHardware.Checked);
In need that the SelectedItem will be Win32_1394Controller but the user will see in the cmbxOption only 1394Controller without the Win32_
This is the start of the method InsertInfo
private void InsertInfo(string Key, ref ListView lst, bool DontInsertNull)
That's why i need that the Key will be Win32_1394Controller but i want that the user will see in the ComboBox only 1394Controller without the Win32_

Hello,
Here is a running start on getting specific lines in the case lines starting with ComboBox. I took your data and placed it into a text file named TextFile1.txt in the bin\debug folder. Code below was done in
a console app.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
internal class Program
private static void Main(string[] args)
var result =
from T in File.ReadAllLines(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "TextFile1.txt"))
.Select((line, index) => new { Line = line, Index = index })
.Where((s) => s.Line.StartsWith("ComboBox"))
select T
).ToList();
if (result.Count > 0)
foreach (var item in result)
Console.WriteLine("Line: {0} Data: {1}", item.Index, item.Line);
Console.ReadLine();

I would like to convert a matlab file into a .dll and use it in LabVIEW. However, when I run the .dll in LabVIEW I get an error stating "... Procedure not found". What could this be? Can anyone help me...

I wish to convert my Matlab files into .dll's so that I can use them in LabVIEW. I am using 'mcc' and 'mbuild' of Matlab to convert my .m files into .c and .dll.
When I try to run the .dll's in LabVIEW, I get an error message in a modal window stating some required .dll or procedure is not found.
How should I resolve this issue. Should I add any other Matlab .dll's in course of making my .dll?
Please help in solving this issue... Thankyou very much.

Appleworks Drawing files can be opened and used with Eazy Draw

I bought a new IMac with Snow Leopard last week and after a lot of frustration and talking to Apple Tech Support folks, determined that the several thousand Drawing files would never be able to be used on my new Mac. How could Apple leave me high and dry with no access to my files. Several pages back on this forum someone mentioned Eazy Draw and so I went to www.eazydraw.com and payed $20 for a 9 month trial. Within 2 minutes of downloading the trial version I was using it and opening the files. It works wonderful for opening the Drawing files and working with them. I assume it works equally as well with the other areas of Appleworks.

I assume it works equally as well with the other areas of Appleworks.
No: Draw only. Pages opens Word Processing, Numbers opens Spreadsheets, Keynote opens Presentations, but nothing will open Paint or Database documents.

MIDI files - opening vs importing and using templates

I think I'm out of luck on this one, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. I spent all morning building a new template with 50+ buses for internal recording of audio (Thank You APPLE!).
I would like to be able to open MIDI files using that template. If I import, only the regions are imported not the tempo map, markers etc. If I open, then I can't have it use my template because it opens in an empty file.
I've gone into the global preferences and assigned my template as the default template and still no love. Any thoughts?

I can import the environment but all of the routing is gone. I've got like 50 buses or something and all of my tracks in the arrange are gone as well. No way to import those I imagine. It'll take me only like 10-15 mins to load them all up again, but still thats 1-150 mins each time. Thats why I built a template to begin with, to avoid routing stuff and inserting tracks over and over.
We need an update on this one stat

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:

Hi, I have the same issue??
Even when exporting as an interactive pdf.
My problem is that I am trying to figure out how to export my swf embedded file into an interactive pdf.
I have created an interactive presentation with buttons, effects etc. After which I exported to swf so that all the effects work.
But when placing the swf file back into indesign and exporting again as an interactive pdf it doesn't work at all, all I get is a white screen. (I need a pdf for clients basically, they dont want any swf or flash files.)
Even though after placing the swf file, in the media window I ticked play on page load as well as chose a cover image for the swf file. Still just a white screen when exporting.
To repeat, I need to know how to convert my swf file into an interactive pdf.
Any pointers please would be great I have some swf presentations I need to change into pdf as soon as possible or before tomorrow to be exact before our monthly meeting with clients.
Please help
