Swf shrunken in IE7 - help?

I have iweb '08 and created a flash movie using the vertical moon "swf n slide" pro software. The file appears perfectly on Safari and Firefox - but it is shrunken on Internet Explorer 7. The original file is 776 pixels X 540 pixels. Its showing up at about half that on IE.
Here is the link: http://www.debbieelmerstudios.com/DebbieElmerStudios.com/SculpturePreservation_andCare.html
It would not be so mind boggling to me if it just didn't work all together - but it is perfectly shrunken! I haven't found any posts on this particular issue - I am hoping that someone might be able to shed some light on what is happening and if it is something that I can fix.

after several days of trying to figure this out - turns out that there are two places to indicate size of your swf. within the iweb widget. If you only update one area - your swf will appear at the intended size on Safari and Firefox... however, it may default to the size that was not updated within the widget and display at a different size in IE.

Wrong swf display in IE7

Greetings,
I have problems with display of my swf file in IE7 browser.
On some computers is ok and on another I get some red blocks. The

Thanks in advance.

Loading external SWF into a FLA (help!!!)

Hello,
I'm building a website in AS2. I have created a xml driven flash image gallery and am trying to get this into my website. I'm totally new to flash.
In the website I'm building, I have a gallery button on the main page with this code:
over3_btn.onRelease = function(){
 play();
 target="gallery";
Which I understand that when you click it, it brings you to the gallery keyframe and play it's contents. Then I found this code:
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("my_gallery.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
Which I pasted into the gallery keyframe, hoping that it will call up the gallery, however, this didn't work.
Please help. I've search far and wide and couldn't find anything that would work.
Here is my the code to my gallery. Maybe I'm coding it incorrectly?
var myGalleryXML = new XML();
myGalleryXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myGalleryXML.load("gallery.xml");
myGalleryXML.onLoad = function() {
_root.gallery_x = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.gallery_x;
_root.gallery_y = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.gallery_y;
_root.gallery_width = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.gallery_width;
_root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.gallery_height;
_root.myImages = myGalleryXML.firstChild.childNodes;
_root.myImagesTotal = myImages.length;
_root.thumb_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.thumb_height;
_root.thumb_width = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.thumb_width;
_root.full_x = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.full_x;
_root.full_y = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.full_y;
callThumbs();
createMask();
scrolling();
function callThumbs() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._x = _root.gallery_x;
container_mc._y = _root.gallery_y;
var clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var preloader = new Object();
clipLoader.addListener(preloader);
for (i=0; i<_root.myImagesTotal; i++) {
thumbURL = myImages[i].attributes.thumb_url;
myThumb_mc = container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(i, container_mc.getNextHighestDepth() );
myThumb_mc._x = _root.thumb_width*i;
clipLoader.loadClip("thumbs/"+thumbURL,myThumb_mc);
preloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {
target.createTextField("my_txt",target.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,100,20);
target.my_txt.selectable = false;
preloader.onLoadProgress = function(target, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
target.my_txt.text = Math.floor((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
preloader.onLoadComplete=function(target){
target.my_txt.removeTextField();
target.onRelease=function(){
callFullImage(this._name);
function callFullImage(myNumber) {
myURL = myImages[myNumber].attributes.full_url;
myTitle = myImages[myNumber].attributes.title;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("fullImage_mc",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
fullImage_mc._x = _root.full_x;
fullImage_mc._y = _root.full_y;
var fullClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var fullPreloader = new Object();

fullClipLoader.loadClip("full_images/"+myURL,fullImage_mc);
function createMask() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mask_mc",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
mask_mc._x = _root.gallery_x;
mask_mc._y = _root.gallery_y;
mask_mc.beginFill(0x000000,100);
mask_mc.lineTo(_root.gallery_width,0);
mask_mc.lineTo(_root.gallery_width,_root.gallery_height);
mask_mc.lineTo(0,_root.gallery_height);
mask_mc.lineTo(0,0);
container_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
function scrolling() {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
container_mc._x += Math.cos(((mask_mc._xmouse)/mask_mc._width)*Math.PI)*15;
if (container_mc._x>mask_mc._x) {
container_mc._x = mask_mc._x;
if (container_mc._x<(mask_mc._x-(container_mc._width-mask_mc._width))) {
container_mc._x = mask_mc._x-(container_mc._width-mask_mc._width);
Would really really appreciate any help I can get. Thuy

var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("my_gallery.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
is as3 code. that won't work in your as2 project.
here's the equivalent in as2:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("targetMC",this.getNextHighestDepth());
targetMC.loadMovie("my_gallery.swf");

FLV and SWF Joining and Resizing - Help?!?!

Greets,
My wife is a copy writer, and as part of her portfolio, she has to go and capture the end result once it has been shot. In the current perplexing case, a web site has a small speaking host who will occasionally point to the right at an animation. The host is on the site as a FLV and the animation is a SWF. I guess it makes sense for them, but it certainly seems like they could have gone the extra mile to make it one file.
Anyway, I have captured the FLV and the SWF, but am having a VERY hard time combining them, even after reencoding both into AVI. For the most part, they are very different dimensions, and when all is said and done, the result is blocky probably because the exported dimensions are too big.
My main problem is that the video size is set at the time you set up a project, and no amount of trial and error on my part has allowed me to figure out what to set that to.
Any help on any of this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there any option to get source materials from the host? Do you have a link to this site so we can take a look?

I'm using the latest version of Firefox V29.0.1 Firefox cache settings no longer working for SWF files. can you help on

Firefox caching on SWF files (Adobe Flash files) are not caching at browser level. But the same SWF Files are caching at other browsers like Google Chrome and IE.
But when i see the about:cache service information, I can see SWF Files are there in the disk cache device. When ever i hit the same page, the SWF files are downloaded from the server not from the browser, but the fetch count for that SWF file will get increase in disk cache device. So it's taking time to load the SWF files every time when i hit the page.
I'm requesting your help on this SWF File caching.

InDesign conversion to swf--embedding movies, hyperlinks help!

Hello, all
I am new to the CS4 experience and need some help. I have created a document and export to a .swf file. All works fine except the movies will not play and hyperlinks will not open. Is there a simple way to get the movies to play? As of now, I have quicktime files placed in the document.
How about the links? The cursor recognizes there are links, but will not open. Says some security settings need to be changed. I want to set this so viewers will not have to do this when they view the page. Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome. One request, please put in "dummy" terms so I can easily understand LOL Thanks!
Attached is the .swf created using InDesign.

The hyperlink issue: The links will work once the swf file is uploaded to a web server. If you would like to see the links work from your locally saved file, you will have to access the flash player global security settings. Then edit locations > add locations > browse for files and select your swf file. Again, a user will not have to do this if accessing the file from a web server.
The movie issue: Quicktime movies will only work in PDF export, not SWF export. Convert to AVI MPEG or SWF.
How are you planning to present the file: distribute file via email or accessible through web site? If it is a file to email, you could export to PDF and the only thing you would lose is the swf page curls.

Problem With Swf File. Please Help!!!!

Hi! I recently got adobe flash cs4 and i tried to create swf wallpaper (flash lite 1.1), so everything looked good, untill i opened the file. The problem is its constantly blinking, like its refreshing with every second or frame or something. Then i transfered it to my phone and theres no change. I had the same problem with CS3...I attached the sample, if someone cares to see...Please can somebody help me??? Thank you!

I think (at a first look) that you should put a stop() command at each frame of your movie.
Playhead is running through your movie from one frame to another and back to beginning if you don't stop it with stop() command.
What I mean is:
in frame one of your movie put ActionScript: stop();
in frame two of your movie put ActionScript: stop();
etc.
If navigation through your movie is linear, like some animations then don't put this AS in frames, but it seems to me that this will solve your problem.
For more (if this isn't helping) upload your movie along with ActionScript.

Swf needs height adjustment - help a nOOb

Hi guys, i have an swf that was designed for me (don't know
flash) and i can't contact my designer - phone turned off, needs
this urgently done, how do i make the height of the flash bigger ?
There is adobe flash on the computer, I just don't know flash, if
anyone could help with this, i'd be very grateful. Thanks !

Thanks very much :o) I was hoping i could have this at the
right size so when it's played in adobe media player etc it's plays
at the right width/height. Unfortunately me = complete idiot where
this is concerned.
If I'm making the flash larger via the website specification
won't the images turn out a little pixelated since the original is
smaller than what I'm enlarging it to ?
Thank you so much again for the help

Preloader not working for 35 MB swf file. Please help!

Hello,
I'm working on a glorified slideshow, it has a music track that is 3+ minutes long, pretty nice graphics, and transitions. I started builing in Flash and am halfway done... it looks great too !
Problem is, when I'm testing the preloader with the download profiler set to DSL - it crawls and at 1% and on, the soundtrack starts to play... by the time the download is at 42% its at least a minute into the soundtrack and it's in and out, coming on then cutting out but not starting over. Needless to say, this is not okay! I know it's a huge file. SHould I maybe export it as an mov and put it in a FLV player?
Thanks for reading & helping
Ms.Lee

Ok, so my preloader code was all wrong, now it's this:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HitTheGround6.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
this.addChild(ldr);
ldr.x=0;
ldr.y=0;
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
ldr.load(request);
function progressHandler(evt:ProgressEvent):void {
    var percent:Number = evt.target.bytesLoaded / evt.target.bytesTotal;
    preloader.fill.scaleX = percent;
function completeHandler(evt:Event):void {
    this.removeChild(preloader);
    evt.target.content.gotoAndPlay(2); //this is the key

IE Active Content + Dynamically Loaded Swfs...any help?

Hi,
I've recently become aware of the whole IE active content
problem and I followed the tutorial at
http://activecontent.blogspot.com/
to adjust my html files accordingly. However I have one site
located at:
http://www.mrdodson.com/SavannahSucks/SavannahSucks.html
which loads several swfs dynamically. However in IE none of the
swfs will start loading until you click on one of the markers
which, unfortunately locks the user into a zoomed in view with no
way of exiting until the external file finishes loading. Can anyone
provide any suggestion on how I can get around this? Should I load
the clips in a different fashion or can it be resolved by adding
something to the HTML? I'm a recent grad trying to finish up my
portfolio and this is really holding me back. Many thanks for any
suggestions.
-Rob

please if anyone knows anything i would really appreciate it.
i can't send my portfolio out until i fix this one thing so pretty
much my life is on hold until i can resolve this.

What you should do at this juncture is go off and find a more suitable support forum/resource for your problem. This forum is not a suitable support forum for your problem.
And if you really feel that you must reply, thanking me for pointing you in the right direction would be the intelligent and appropriate response.

Good luck in solving your problem.

Lost the original Captivate project but have the SWF- need to edit- help!!!

I have lost the original captive project but have the SWF. Is there anyway or anything I can use to convert the SWF file into something I can edit?

There is no way to convert an SWF to CPTX source file. Your best bet is to play the SWF and record it.

Need help with combining swf files together

Hi Everyone
I have problem with my project.
I created several SWF files, now i want them to interact with each other
So there is main SWF file lets call it:
main.swf
then within that file(main.swf) i would like to create buttons which will be calling other swf files for instance by pressing one button one.swf will be open by pressing other button two.swf will be open and so on.
Then I would like to create buttons within one.swf and two.swf which will allowed to go back to main.swf
If someone could help me how to do it I will be grateful.
AS2.0 i am working with
many thanks

thanks for quick respond
So the first of all my main.swf would load, within it i would have a button. If i click on button will take me to frame 40 ( just example ) where i will have this.loadMovie("first.swf"), when this file will be loaded i want to have other button with in the first.swf which will take me back to main.swf and now you are suggesting to use this.removeMovie("first.swf")?
I am not sure if i got you answer right
Thanks again for help i am quite new to ActionScript as you can tell.
