SWF-Files in a PDF try to start a Website

Hi,
I use Acrobat 9 ext. and have some PDF's with SWF-animations.
Problem: If the animation finished, it trys to open a website and brakes with a eror-message.
There are no scripts on the SWF, so I gues a security-mistake on the Acrobat 9.
Can anybody show me the securitiy features for Acrobat?
Lot of thanks for your help
Cheers, Wolvo

Hi, what i figured out:
on a pc without internet connection shows up the following java-script line on the browser address line:
javascript:window.opener=self;%20window.closed();
No idea, whre this comes up - is that a cookie tracer or virus?
Maybe it helps with a sample file - press the kaboodle on site 4.
Greetings Wolvo

Embed swf file in a pdf

How do I create a pdf, and embed a file with a .swf suffix, so that the file retains it's interactivity from within the PDF?

Handel swf files in PDF

I’m having trouble to scale my swf file in the pdf I want to place it in. There is no problem placing it and adjusting the file while not playing, but as soon as it’s started it goes back to it's original size. Is it possible to scale a swf file at all? The swf file is also constant in size when stared, even if I’m zooming in the pdf the swf files size is consistent and it won’t zoom in nor out. Is there a way I can make the swf file change with the surrounding pdf file? I need to fix the swf files proportions in relation to the pdf file it is placed in. I’m really great full for any answers.

It depends how the SWF file is decalring it's stage scaling mode. SWFs can zoom to fit whatever rectangle they're in, or play at a fixed size - but the decision is made within the SWF via ActionScript, not within the host application.

Embedding SWF file into an Indesign document and later export as PDF

Hi to everybody,
I am searching now since 3 days for good solution of my problem. First I wanna tell you that the problem is not just to convert a swf-file into a pdf. I did this many times with all animations, page flip and stuff.My situation is the following:
I have varios catalogues with more or less 12 pages each in an indesign format. Now I created an animated scroll down menu, which appears on an "index-page". On the menu I created buttons. One button for each catalogue. So the idea of the whole thing is to open a document and an index page appears where you have the animated menu and you choose the catalogue you wanna see. Until here it is quite easy. I created a swf file of each catalogue with my animations (as the special page turnover e.g.). So that I just need von Object in with I can load the different swf-files of these catalogues. I already did the process. I linked the buttons to the different swf files and so. So the problem is now when it comes to convert the whole thing into a PDF. Of course I convert it first to swf and then to PDF. After converting it to swf it works 100% fine, but in PDF not, suddenly the swf-files of the catalogues disappear.
So the summary is, that I don't know how to embed swf files into an indesign document, creat buttons and interactions next to swf file, then save it to another swf, and then to a pdf without losing the first swf files within the pdf.
Hope I made my self clear would be too nice if someone could help me or if someone may have a better idea of realizing the whole project.

Jeffrey,
Thank you for the answer. As you have written:
I will also add that the ID's play mode contol [plays once] [repeat play] does not always control the file once in Acrobat.
I presume you mean version of ID older than CS4 or version of Acrobat Reader older than 9.1
It that is the case I will strongly recommend my visitors to upgrade to this version.
I hope that would work.
Thanks again.

How to open a "printable" version of a pdf file which has embedded a swf file?

I've got a project that consist of a pdf file that has a swf inside, it's all managed by a .nav file, a navigator.
The thing is, since the Flash Player is not a part of the pdf file (I think it was a part before), and it has to be downloaded and installed separately, I need to have an option for the users so they can access a more compact and printable version of what the pdf shows, but this time, not using the swf but the alternative, printable, version.
I spent some time looking for this "printable version", but no luck so far, if anyone knows something about it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

I see, I didn't know the exact term of what it's called, I've read somewhere and some people refer to it as interactive statements, the project is made with Flash Builder and I use the asset placement plugin. I'm a long time as3 programmer, but I never used a swf file within a pdf.
So, you are telling me that there is no way to have a default fallback option to show, let say, only text when the flash player isn't available?, because, a client of mine told me that he saw once a video showing Adobe featuring a "printable version" of the same pdf when that condition happened. He didn't send me the link or anything, I guess I just need to believe him on that one.
Any help, documentation to read, or orientation would be appreciated.
Edit.: forgot to say, mobile is not an issue/option here, this app or portfolio would play only in desktop.

Creating customised swf files using CF?

Hi all.
This is a bit of an integration question.
Marketing create wonderful swf brochures using InDesign to
let them have those cool page turning features. They embed urls
into the document to invite the reader to "click to make a
booking".
Fine so far.
What they have asked me is if there is any way we can
dynamically build these brochures so that:
a) clients can build their own and/or
b) the urls can have some dynamic content
For the latter, they want sales consultants to be able to
generate a brochure and send it out and all URLs in that brochure
will include the consultant ID (for clickback tracking and other
stuff)
I could do this easily enough using a PDF and CFDOCUMENT but
they want the final format to be SWF and to have all those
page-turner extras.
Is this even possible at the current state of Adobe
integration?
Regards
Neal

I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
any idea to achieve this

How to export swf in an interactive pdf?

Hey there...I hope anyone can help me :-(
I'm creating an interactive PDF at the moment and almost everythings works.
But I have a problem with exporting the embedded swf to my pdf...
In the first picture you can see what my slideshow should look like. If you
click on the arrows the pictures switch – it works – but only in indesign.
If I export it to an interactive PDF I get a result that you can see in the
second picture. You first have to start the swf by clicking, it does not run
itself...
Can't I make running the swf by starting up the PDF?
Thanks for your support! :-)

Placing a SWF file into a PDF file is a bit of a hack. It's going to have some rough edges.
You should be able to use the Media panel to save a poster image so you won't see a blank space.
However, the first time you open the PDF, you WILL have to click on the SWF file to play it.
I created a SWF slide show, exported it as a selection, placed it back into InDesign and exported a PDF. You can see the result below. There's a poster image, but I still have "Click to activate" to start the slide show.

Published Swf file flickers. Why?

Hi all, We are publishing a Swf file in Adobe cs3 and it
flickers permanently when opened. What can we do to avoid this?
Please advise.

Basically at the moment we have a website called
projectionpictures.com (take a look). At the moment we are trying
to do a few small changes. However when we import the file that
generates all the layers and then try to export to see if it will
display in exactly the same way before we start to adjust it. The
exported .swf file strobes and it doesn't display the website to
its full size as we would need.
1) why does it strobe ?
I can email you an attachment if your okay with that.

Why is Photoshop Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf now that I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Why is Adobe Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf after I started using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro instead of my CS3 Pro? Both Adobe software is up to date and before I switched to Acrobat XI Pro, it worked fine. Help please...

You aren't talking to Adobe here. But still...Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING product? If so, you purchased an UPGRADE and now need to give the serial number of the OLDER product (Acrobat 9 or X) which you must own to be able to use the upgrade. Simples.

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.

Problem: text fade in/out in swf-file not working correctly

Hello to all,
this is my first post.
I work in a printing company and we want to administrate now our website by our own and
we have bought now Dreamweaver CS4 and Flash CS4 for Mac. My Flash skill-level is "Beginner",
but I am OK with simple tweenings, using symbols and that.
I have done an advertisment banner for the home, 550x290 px, background-pictures
and headlines fading in and out, later until the end there are three subheadlines for pricing details.
The published swf-file works absolutely fine on my Mac, and also
embedded in the site in Safari and Opera.
Before uploading I wanted to check in IE and Opera on a Windows-PC
and now there is the problem:
the first headline does not fade in, it suddenly just appears.
The second headline fades in the place of the first, when the first one is
fading out. So now, for a second the text is appearing above each other and
both neither fade in nor fade out.
The three subheadlines later start one by one, and they work fine and fade in
and out correctly. All pictures fade in and out correctly, too.
What could that be?
I`ve just installed the newest flash-player on the Windows-PC and
the problem is still there when I open the swf-file or when I embed it in the website.
I would be deeply grateful for any hint.
Thanks!

Hi!
The difference was, the headline property was accidentally "dynamic text", the subheadlines were static.
I missed that.
Before changing that now in the fla-file I checked the old one on differrent company macs,
the problem is only one a few macs, say one of ten had the problem I watched.
I think now, that must be just bad luck or it is a player problem.
Allow me the question please:
should I use dynamic text or static (then I cannot embed the font, the option dispappears then
in the Properties-panel).
Thanks again!

Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT

Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description

when i try to load the external swf file into my site
loadMovie("image_gallery.swf", box);
then the movie loads .. the gallery is displayed the message "loading xml file" displays and then when the xml is loaded the message "loading image 1/7" displays and only the first image loads.
once the first image is loaded it will not be displayed (it remains outside of my swf file .. i can see it when i resize the window) and no other images will be loaded.
if i open the gallery.sfw file again everything works fine .. the problem is only if i try to load the gallery.swf in another swf ..
something must be wrong ..
i tryed to opern the gallery.fla file and copt everything directly in my site and the problem remains the same .. only 1 image loaded and not displayed in the gallery ..
i'ts like something in my site "blocks" the gallery beeing loaded..
any suggestions?

this._lockroot = true;

Does DW create .swf files?

Hello, I have Creative Suite 2, and have been asked by a
client (I am also a web developer, but mainly using ASP) to rescue
their website. Their designer has *lost* the original files which
were written in Dreamweaver, so he tells me, and I don't have a
copy of Dreamweaver.
AS I have CS2 - photoshop, illustrator, indesign, GoDesign,
is there a way I can get Dreamweaver, or another product cheaply,
just so I can help this one client out? I am not too sure I
actually want to plunge in and buy Dreamweaver, as I don't really
know what I would use it for, and I expect the learning curve to be
as steep as the other Creative Suite products were!
If anyone could recommend/suggest a fix for me (all I have
are .html and .swf files that are sitting on my client's website),
for me to be able to update his website, that would be great - I
really don't want to have to scrap what he has and start over in
another software package. Or if you can convince me that it is easy
to start desiging flash files, maybe I might go there! (I presume
Dreamweaver's primary purpose is to create Flash websites?)
Many thanks!
Teresa

Is the current site a Flash site? If it is, you are in big

Insert an swf file into another Flash file

Hi,
I'm a newbie to flash trying to insert an SWF flash file (a game) into another Flash file. However, when I import the swf file into the library and drag it onto the frame (and insert the stop(); command onto the frame action to stop it playing the whole movie), the SWF file plays constantly, ignoring all the actionscript and button commands in the game SWF file.
When I try inserting it using the Window component, the game SWF refuses to play at all - it just stops (clicking buttons in the game work, but it goes-to-and-stops instead of go-to-and-play like it's supposed to do). The only other component I could find was called "Loader". Using this doesn't work either, it won't play any of the animation, just like using the "Window" component
When the game SWF is played by itself (by just double-clicking to open it from Windows Explorer or embedding it in a web page), it works fine.
Any help how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm posting in this thread because my problem seems similar but may be not...
In my first swf, I'm loading a second swf via loadClip().
My second swf works well alone but when I try to integrate itself in my first swf I'm losing my events. My events only works on my first swf.
I'v tried your trick with _lockroot but he doesn't work for me too.
Is someone have an idea to help me ?
Thx
My code is really basic
First swf:
        var mcloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
        var listener:Object = new Object();
        listener.onLoadInit = function (mc:MovieClip){
            main_obj.__preloader.die();
            obj[funct](target_mc, param);
        mcloader.addListener(listener);
        mcloader.loadClip(file_name, __loader);
Second swf:
    var box:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("box"+depth, this.getNextHighestDepth());
    //Draw box
    drawBox(...);
    // Event on Box, Change Alpha and show arrow or not
    box.onRollOver = function() {
        drawBox(...);
