Swf Not download in Browser

Hi,

XML MAPPING - swf not updating

When I make a change to the xml file it is not picking up the change in my published swf file. When I open the project in CX and refresh the mapping updates.
So it is connected but when I click on "refresh" on the sxf it is not updating.
I have xml maps, added in the data connection manager, with a refresh button tied to the xml connection. I also have the refresh on load checked in the connection manager.
Need help.
Thanks

Shamim my scenario was that I wanted the SWF on a network so that a call center employee could access the file from a mapped drive, open the file direct on her/his client machine. My problem was that I developed the file on the server machine and mapped the data connection path to the XML initially from the server, not the scenario of a client machine's path looking for the file. (not sure if cache is the right term)
Initial Path from server development.. D:\Datafiles\data.xml
The client machine(s) network path, mapped drive was Z: for example. In the excelsius model you need to bind the data path to the excel model and hardcode the Path that the client machines will go thru to access the data. This solved my issue perfectly. Z or name of the mapped drive mapped to the server.
Z:\Datafiles\data.xml
So now if your on the server machine and try to open the file from the swf you will incur the error message that correlates to the swf not being able to find the data. From the clients works fine but not from the server machine as the path has to be exact for the swf to find the data file.
Hope this helps.
I have a question for trying to deploy this same example on th server embedded into a swf movie player to the web. Might have been my path issue, cross domain policy file... But I could not get it to be deployed in a website, live. If you are familiar with this please explain to me.

SWFs not loading in Air 4.0... for iOS

Hi,
I've read some of the posts about the problem of SWFs not loading in iOS. This seemed to have to do with the SWFs having code. We removed code from the SWFs and In previous releases, using previous SDKs (I don't remember the last one that worked) we had everything working. But in the latest version compiled with the latest SDK (4.0...) none of the SWFs load.
of course I'm learning about this late in the game.
One more piece of information. I did a test with an application that just loads one codeless SWF and have exactly the same result.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

Hi,
So code or no code external SWFs require a loader context.
I borrowed this directly from a kglad response:
var lc:LoaderContext=new LoaderContext(false,ApplicationDomain.currentDomain,null);
When I add the LoaderContext to the loader (at least with my experimental app) the SWF loads.
Also from kglad's example: yourloader.load(yourexternalswf.swf,lc);
Thanks kglad.

SWF Not Working...Help Please :(

Hi all,
So I've been having an issue with a SWF not work on a page and this is what I can seem to come up with after hours of messing with Dreamweaver and Flash trying to understand why it won't work. When i test the movie from the working Flash file, it works no problem. Something is going wrong when I export or publish the movie and it no longer works. Is this something that happens?
Your help is much appreciated...this site needs to go up in the next day or so and the SWF was working and then stopped working and I'm honestly not a Flash gal so I really have no business messing with it, but it was a specific request. Thanks!

One thing that might be an issue as far as the web page goes it that the html specifies a file named carousel2.swf which does not appear to exist on the server and is not the same name as the file you are calling the swf in your swf link (*carousel3.swf).
Without knowing what goes on inside carousel3, or carousel 2 for that matter, it's hard to say if it is missing the xml file that it might need. But for either case, are you certain that you have uploaded the xml file that is needed?

SWF not working properly when sent to acrobat

I am trying to place a simple swf file in a layout but Acrobat refuses to display it at the correct size. It shows me the correct dimensions in the import dialog, but then seems to ignore them. The final placed object comes in at 320x240 no matter what.
As for where the SWF is coming from, how it was made etc, I have tried multiple methods for making this work. Here's the list:
1. Created an MSO in Indesign, exported the mso element as a SWF and replaced the swf in the document. FAIL - Transparency breaks and the size is wrong
2. Retried about 5 versions of the about with opaque background and various sizes. FAIL - same problems
3. Built the SWF in Flash Catalyst, placed in InDesign FAIL - same problems
4. Used Catalyst swf, place directly in Acrobat 10. Import works, transparency works...FAIL - always resized to 320x240
I am using Indesign CS5 and Acrobat 10 on Mac OS X 10.6.6
I could really use some help here. I placed this same note in the acrobat forums, because I am getting pretty desperate here. I am supposed to deliver the final client file for this project today and this represents one of the key showcase elements!
Thanks.

Ok. So after reading through a pile of forum posts and blogs I believe I may have my answer. Though I can't say I like it much.
It seems that Acrobat does not render video/swf pixels at 1:1 (See This Forum Comment) and the disparity causes the image to appear distorted. The only fix I have really seen so far is to play with the zoom level in acrobat until the image comes into focus. A point that is different on every screen.
Here are some of the posts I found most helpful:
http://acrobatusers.com/forum/rich-mediaflash/video-quality-degraded#comment-72985
http://acrobatusers.com/forum/rich-mediaflash/original-swf-size-distortion-import
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3379809#3379809
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3411262#3411262
I still want to think that there has to be a way to force a 1:1 pixel ratio, but I have not seen any solutions for doing so. There was a suggestion regarding setting the flash stage to NO_SCALE, but I am not entirely sure what the suggested implementation involves.
I would still love to hear ideas on how to create a better solution to this, but for now I suppose I will have to live with it as is.

Published SWFs not working from CS3 on Mac?

This one REALLY has me stumped..
I am working on a Mac Dual 2-Gig G5 running OS 10.4.10 and
Flash CS3.
I have a web site for a client posted (
http://www.aronwiesenfeld.com
). This site has been running flawlessly for over a year published
to Version 8 Flash Player AS v2.0. This client asked me to create a
new temporary splash page last night that would announce his new
Art Show and then click on into the main site. This site uses a
Shared Lib, a SharedTrigger, a Core SWF (containing the main site
navigation elements and handles loading of various movies into
levels) and a Splash SWF (that contains the two splash screens and
initial navigation to areas of the site. The problem I THINK I am
having is in the Splash SWF... or is a problem with my LOCAL Mac
installation? When I click one of the 5 Site Nav buttons it is
supposed to tell the main core movie to advance to a new frame (20)
and I target that movie by referring to _level0. This has worked
fine for the past year (on this and other sites). I am attaching an
example of the code used on each of the initial Nav buttons in the
Splash swf .
So here is the mystery...
When I "Test Movie" inside Flash CS3, everything works/looks
"perfect". If I then go to the desktop and find the generated HTML
file and open it in Safari (both version 2 and 3-beta), or Firefox
or Opera, etc., everything looks fine until I click one of the
initial text Nav Buttions. At that point it takes me to the main
site and loads the external SWF into a level as it should
(indicating that the 3rd line of code on the button is execution
and by the fact the the Splash movie disappears, it indicates that
the core movie is indeed moving to frame 20 (_level0) as requested
in the first line of code. However, all of the main site navigation
buttons along the bottom of the main site as well as the background
NEVER APPEAR? Also when I start to move the mouse around the loaded
external movie the site completely crashes and I get a blank screen
- IN ALL BROWSERS whether I am launching the site from my hard
drive or the Internet!! But it works perfect INSIDE Flash CS3.
Now comes the real kicker...
Just for the heck of it after spending 3 hours trying to fix
this on my main G5 tower(publishing to Player version 9, etc.), I
decided to try accessing the site from my old G4 laptop. Ready for
this? The site appears to be working perfectly IN ALL BROWSERS ON
MY G4 also running 10.4.10!!!
So my guess is maybe their is a problem with the Flash Player
Plugin in all my browsers on my G5 or the Flash Plugin has a
problem with OS 10.4.10 only on my G5. BUT, even if I launch this
site directly in Flash Player from the desktop on my G5 it does not
work - so the stand-alone player is having the same issue - yet it
works fine on my G5 INSIDE of Flash CS3.
I thought I had seen it all the last 5 years with Flash, but
this one has be completely stumped!
My client emailed me from California and said the site was
working fine there of his PC. If that is true then I am having a
LOCAL Flash Player problem on my G5 running 10.4.10.
In addition to my question, if anyone can give me feedback as
to whether or not this site is working on your machine/browser/OS,
could you please let me know? You will know if the site is working
if you click on Enter Site, then click on any of the 5 buttons
(except Info) and you see a grey background behind the image and
the lower navigation string appears.
Thanks!

Well after trying everything I could think of I started down
the list again. I re-downloaded the Flash Player 9 r47 Mac
installer and ran the installer again (which I also did last night
with no success).
This time after re-installing the plugin - ALL THE BROWSERS
IMMEDIATELY STARTED WORKING ad the site now comes up fine - so,
apparently I had a bad Flash Player install in my browser!

Mac Type in swf not showing up on PC browsers

On some PCs the type in my Flash banners isn't showing up.
Does it have anything to do with the platforms being
different?

Could be the case when comes to Dynamic text. Regular static
text automatically has outlines
included into SWF file assuring it will appear properly on
all end.
Also could be the case with user not having latest player
which in fact sound more likely.

Gallery tree swf not loading

I am using the gallery_tree.fla provided in the Samples for
Flash 8 Pro to build a small photo gallery, substituting the name
of my xml file in this line of code in the action script:
treeDP_xml.load("bbq_gallery_07.xml"); .
I used the gallery_tree.xml, substituting my image filenames
in the nodes. I placed the images, the .xml and the .swf in the
same folder. The .swf will play if I open it on my local machine in
a browser, but on the web server, it just continues to show the
loader but no images or tree.
My .xml and Actionscript is attached. Suggestions as to my
problem?

Seems odd it will only run once. Usually if a cache problem
you get the same
results even when you update the movie or server scripts.
If it is
http:// it is not local even if from the browser
cache.
Verify the html is validated.
Check to see if this applies to all swfs. Create a simple
hello world swf
that connects to a JSP script that returns a simple value to
Flash. If that
seems to work, then the problem is in the JSP or
Actionscripting coding.
Check you can load the JSP script repeatedly using a direct
call to it on
the browser line using
http://.

SWF not playing correctly in Flash Player

When I create a new SWF - only sometimes - the SWF shows (in
Flash Player, Projector, Exe ONLY) up blank or missing quite a bit
of the animation, buttons, etc. It plays fine when opened in the
Flash application or as a "Test Movie" but not when opened directly
from the Flash Player!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

could it be that you have multiple version of Flash program
install and
the one that is set to default is older one ?
For instance, Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8 , authoring in flash
8 but preview happen
in MX 2004 ? this is my exact setting, for compatibility
test. This would make
new files fail to perform properly.

Publish: Scalable, HTML5, SWF Not working on Android 4.1.1

In Captivate 6, I publish with SWF, HTML5, and Scalable HTML content. It will not run on the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.1). What do I need to change.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
we would like to inform you that output option through Captivate have not been tested completely on Android devices.
However the corresponding department are still testing the same at their end. If we get any update for the same we will surely let you know.
Thanks

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

Loaded SWF not displaying

I've created a 'plugin' SWF file in CS3 using actionscript 3.
The purpose of this file is to be included as a postroll in the
open source flash media player JW FLV/Media Player (
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player).
I have heavily customized the media player libraries to do
various new things/alter how things worked, and now want to be able
to include the SWF file within this into a child sprite/movie clip.
HOWEVER, the problem lies in that the media player is written
completely in AS2, and therefore I have to use the MovieClipLoader
class to load in the SWF. Updating the source to AS3 isn't an
option unfortunatly, and downgrading the AS3 SWF to AS2 isn't an
option either, mainly due to the fact I've learnt AS3, not AS2, and
find it frustrating trying to find the AS2 equivalent to the AS3
methods I know.
The problem though lies in that MovieClipLoader does not like
my SWF at all. Initially I was presented with a load of sandbox
errors from when it was loaded in, which I then resolved so that no
security errors are produced. However, whenever I load in the clip,
the target sprite/clip is empty. I have gone through checking that
no errors occur on load, and it reports that the loaded SWF has
been initialized, yet I see nothing. Also, the code loading the SWF
is not at fault as it loads any other SWF (even another AS3 SWF
which just creates a rectangle) no problem.
Oddly enough, using the MovieClip.loadMovie method works in
one situation - when you load it into the root of the AS2 file.
When loading it into an empty movie clip, the same problem of a
blank clip occurs. The problem is not specific to the media player
either, as it happened in any AS2 file where I was testing how to
load in the AS3 SWF.
If it is of any use, the sandbox errors produced by the AS3
file when loaded into AS2 swf I had to resolve where to do with
stage access for getting the stage height and width, and a
Loader.content error when pulling out the BitmapData. These were
resolved via setting the allowed domains policy and eliminating any
reference to stage.stageHeight/With.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? The only
possible solution I've been able to think of so far since the AS3
swf won't display is to play with the LocalConnection class as
tests showed I can communicate between the AS2 and AS3 files, but
this would have to be a last resort, and is less than ideal when
there can be multiple instances of the player running (I would need
to use unique connection names for each instance so as to prevent
player A interacting with player B, and also as only one of the
players can listen on the connection at once).

I have the component in the top level also,
I get this error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

I've checked the definitions for the tree component,
The LabelButton and List I don't have much control over.
I'm not sure how to fix this. The xml is correct and loads easily if it's in the root document.
The list component doesn't load the labels, It stops on the first one.
What do I do next?

Flash SWF not appearing in RH

I am using TCS 4 with FM 12 and RH 11.
I have an animation built in Flash and published to a SWF file.
The animation is added to a FM doc. Publishing to PDF shows the animation as expected.
I link an RH project to the FM book and the animation is missing. There is an empty frame where the animation should be, and what is in the frame is a blank PNG with a made up name (i.e. filename004.png). I can add the SWF file manually into the frame but it gets wiped during the next update. I can turn off updates but that defeats the purpose of Single Sourcing. There is no setting I can find in RH to manage importing media files.
Any help?

Yep, anchored frame.
Adding baggage files did not help.
Embedding or linking within FM did not help.
Starting with your suggestions I did a little testing and found the problem. There are, in fact, 2 SWFs in the one frame, and that was causing RH to give up on the frame entirely. If I only put a single SWF in the frame, it seems to work.
I went back into Flash and glued both SWFs together to make one, which has solved it. However it would be interesting to know if there is a way to have 2 SWFs in a single FM frame.
Thanks for the help.

Interactive PDF (with embedded SWF) not displaying consistently

Hi folks,
We are seeing varying behaviour when we try to open a PDF document which we have created as part of publishing to PDF in Captivate 6. The original project is a recorded PPT file which we publish to HTML5, SWF, ZIP and PDF. In some instances the interactive PDF opens fine, but in some instances we get something like this:
We have always made sure we have the latest version of reader up to date etc, but can't work out why some machines are giving the above and others done. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey JT,
Came across this: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html
I know you said you have reader 10, but I had 11, so I went and removed it and and installed a version of 10 again, and wht do you know, they work ok. However, this is not a workable solution for us as many students will automatically update to the latest PDF reader, which is currently 11. Adobe changing the rules around this has stuffed us up, and we have no option but to take offline all our interactive PDF versions produced with Captivate 6. Very disappointing, but will save our helpdesk a lifetime of support calls :-(
