SWF Won't Display in RoboHelp Project

Hi,
I have a RoboHelp 9 HTML project that has a number of SWF files embedded in a number of the pages. The problem is the SWF won't display on the HTML page. The SWF files are published to version 11.x. The HTML pages work fine on my computer but I have Robohelp and Flash Pro installed. When I take it to any other computer in my office, the HTML pages load with no problem but the SWF files will not load onto the pages. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

So you are saying that the SWF *WAS* actually displaying but was somehow unable to present the text?
For others that may wonder about what TLF is (as I did) I'll save you the Google step.

IMovie 10 won't display events and projects like previous versions

I upgraded to iMovie 10. Now I can't view an event in the upper left and the projects at the bottom. This is very critical as I'm creating projects out of home movies. I have to be able to look at an event and make sure I've used every part of it to create the projects clips from it.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

SWF won't display in IE

I embedded a swf in my html page through Dreaweaver. I was
prompted that the AC_RunActiveContent.js would be added for
displaying in IE. It is there and linked to in the code. The swf
plays fine in FF and in only one IE ver 6 browser I tried it on at
another site. I've tried it on IE 6 and 7 here at home, to no
avail. The swf banner flashes for a split second then disappears to
nothing but a blank spot. Because it worked in one IE browser I
suspected browser settings.The settings appear ok in my IE browser.
I can't compare the working IE browser with the non-working ones
very easily as they are separated by miles. Is there something in
the code that needs to be changed? Any ideas would be
appreciated.

instead of embedding with the AC_RunActiveContent object
tags, use

Component in SWF won't display in Sprite

Hi
I have a Flash sprite that contains a List component. In
Flash the list populates fine (using ActionScript) and works as
desired, complete with scrollbar. In Director, a plain box appears
where the list box should be.
(To be clear, the component is in the Flash movie. I'm not
talking about Flash components in Director as I'm only using MX,
not 2004
Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember whether the Flash Asset xtra
that
shipped with Director MX was for Flash 6 or 7 published swf
files. Are
you sure the Player version is correct?

SWF won't display once uploaded.

I'm in a pickle here. I've looked at this multiple times, and looked at multiple pieces of advice, and multiple posts, and still can't find the answer, and don't see what I'm doing wrong.
I'm working on a website that has SWF embedded. I had to make some changes to one of the (existing - not created by me) pages, and that meant having to shuffle around a couple of SWF videos. I preview it and it looks fine, but when I upload it...the videos AREN'T THERE.
I've tried all kinds of things - linking it to the SWF file's URL on the server (in case it was looking for it on my local drive), etc. etc. But nothing works. Is there anything I can do?

It works with JavaScript turned off, indicating a problem with JavaScript.
These two files are 404 Not Found:
/bettie-page/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
/bettie-page/Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js
Upload your Scripts folder and all its content.
Note: Usually the Scripts folder is found on the root of the site, but your page expects to find the Scripts folder in the bettie-page folder.

Swf won't load on web but ok locally (believe only video playback issue)

Hi all,
I am very new to flash....literally first day into it.
I converted a mov into flv and imported the flv with playback component. When I publish, I am able to see both (via the swf and the html) from my browser. Once I uploaded the swf and html onto my webserver (both files are stored in the same folder just like how I had it locally), the swf won't display the video.
Now, I have a button (when clicked, it skips the playback and go directly to the site) and the button works fine. So, I think it is only limited to the video playback.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Ned,
I was just fiddling with it and it seems to be working now. I think your advice of putting the flv there helped?!?! Thanks a billion!
http://www.astoryconcept.com/index1.html
The only minor issue that I need to fix and not sure how yet:
-it stops during the initial playback (I guess my flv is a little large 4mb and I might have to optimize it to a smaller file)
-it didn't center itself when I drag the browser larger/smaller
Now that it works, I want to see if I could optimize it. Wandering if there is a "BETTER/EASIER" way to take me to a url at the end of the video playback.
What I did in here:
I created a cuepoint at 23 second (that's the end of the video) and it will take me to a url (here: adobe.com). Below is the actionscript I had in there (using code snipper) [One is for "Skip Intro" that will bring me to cnn.com; and the other one is the cuepoint that will take me to adobe.com):
================================================================
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
skip_intro_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.cnn.com"), "_blank");
/* On Cue Point Event Handler
Executes the fl_CuePointHandler function defined below each time a cue point is passed in the specified video instance.
Instructions:
1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
The code will execute when cue points are reached in a video that is playing.
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
video.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, fl_CuePointHandler);
function fl_CuePointHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void
// Start your custom code
// This snippet code displays the cue point's name in the Output panel
// trace(event.info.name);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
navigateToURL(url);
// End your custom code

Director mx 2004 won't display Flash 8 swf files & other Flash media

I have created a Flash 8 Project which has audio, video (which are converted to swf files fom flvs), flashpaper. This application is driven by XML.
However this application works fine outside director, but when I import the main swf file into director mx 2004 and RUN it, director won't display the videos (but I can hear the audio from the videos), Director wont show graphic images(eg menu icon movie buttons, and flash buttons). Also I can launch external files (eg text file) from flash, but again it won't work via director.
ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I suggest there's no need to shout.
Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.

Closed captioning won't display in html/swf

I have embedded a swf file in html. The closed captioning displays when I view the .swf file and when I view the Flash published html. However, when I view the fully created Web page, the closed captioning won't display. Does anyone have any ideas?
Specs:
The video was created with Captivate 4, published as an .avi and then as an .f4v with Adobe Media Encoder CS4
The .f4v is imported into a Flash CS4 framework.
The closed captioning file was created with MAGpie and exported to a dfxp file.
The .swf file containing all of the necessary files above is embedded in a Web site created with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.

Oddly enough, I played with the placement of the captioning file to get this to work. While all the other resource files associated with this project needed to remain in the original locations when I embedded my Flash within the html, this file needed to be in the same folder as the base html code for some reason. I hope this helps someone else down the road.

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.

Swf files won't display in Safari

A direct link to the site in question helps. Posting your code here isn't much help since the .swf file is stored on your server and can't be tested by the helpers here

Project/Albums show as having pictures, but won't display the pictures.

I have a Project and it has two albums listed (indented) underneath it.
I have moved them around a bit to put them in different folders, and now the pictures won't display. By that I mean that if I mouse over the project, a popup (or flyover) says there are 129 versions, but no pictures show up in the browser window. Same thing for the album.
The files are referenced files and the files are still in the folder in the same location on my hard drive so I could delete and then re-import, but I'd lose my keywording, any other metadata tags (ratings), and my adjustments. I really don't want to lose those.
Any ideas?

Sometimes moving projects around can create invisible filters, check Frank Caggiano's User Tip: Images not appearing in browser, search filter is cleared
But your long loading time is suspicious: Have you imported any new images recently? Long loading times can be caused by a corrupted image or video in your library; then you need to identify the broken image and remove it.
Also can long loading result from a corrupted Aperture Library that needs fixing. DId you have a recent Aperture crash?
Have you already tried to repair or rebuild your Aperture Library? See:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library

TOC Won't Display in WinHelp

I am updating a WinHelp project that was previously developed
in X3 but which I am now trying to update and compile in RoboHelp 7
for Word. The TOC won't display (i.e., the TOC navigation panel at
the left doesn't display) when the help is launched. When viewing
the TOC in the single panel window by clicking the Help Topics
button, the links do work. There is a CNT file. I tried deleting
the GID file (as suggested by Adobe), and using the old CNT file
that worked in the previous version of the project. Anyone else
experience this with RoboHelp 7?

We're getting the same issue here. We compile - looks great. We copy the hlp and cnt files to another computer and the TOC disappears. We're using RoboHelp for Word and have been since v5. Can anyone help on this? All topics are there; links work, graphics great, but the Table of Contents has vanished.
If I run the AutoGenerate TOC function, the TOC disappears completely from the system. Bear in mind, this is the same file we've been working from for the last 3 years and up until now has been working. We recently updated to v7 and upgraded again to v8 today.
I really appreciate any guidance anyone can give.

Adding a Loading Animation to a Captivate movie for use in a RoboHelp Project?

Hello all:
I'm inserting SWFs (built in Captivate 5) into Robohelp topics (using RoboHelp 9, publishing to WebHelp Pro output). These topics hold only the SWFs, so I've published the SWFs to autoplay when opened.
The problem is this: when I publish my RoboHelp project, my Captivate movies display as image icons (see screenshot). There is no loading animnation or screenshot to indicate that the Captivate movie works. If I wait a few seconds (variable, depending on file size of the SWF), the movie will appear and start to play. I'm concerned that my user will think the file is broken and leave the page.
How can I enable a loading animation (or even a loading image) to show my user that there is, in fact, content on the page when the topic loads? I'd like to keep the auto-play functionality, if possible.

The best option is to break out the words because it gives you the most control. However, if the two words you want to glow are next to each other you can use the Sequence Text behavior.
Select the text and apply Text Animation/Sequence Text to the layer. In the behaviors tab, click on the Add parameter and select Glow/Color. This will create a parameter that you can assign to a character, word, line or custom area.
Now you'll need to add several parameters so repeat the above step adding parameters for Glow/Opacity, Glow/Blur, and Glow/Radius. You might even want to change the color of the font for those two words. If so, add a parameter for Face/Color.
Once you have all the parameters added, change the Traversal parameter to Custom. Change the Select parameter to Custom. Use the Start parameter to determine the beginning of the "glow" area, and the End parameter to fix the end of it. Set the Spread to 0 so there is no spillage of the glow to the words on either side.
Now adjust the color, blur and radius of the glow just as you would if you were adding it to the entire paragraph.

Webhelp topics won't display on servername with multiple hyphens

Hi
I have several webhelp topics generate with RoboHelp 8 whose html topics won't display when launched from servers whose hostnames contain more than one hyphen. We have multiple servers in the test environment. The servers with zero or one hyphens can launch the help project or individual topics with not problem. The servers with two or more hyphens can launch the project and display the nav pane, but the topics show a File Not Found error. The topics also show this error when launched independent of the frameset. Can anyone help?

William,
I have gone thru my project now and, as I stated in my May 1 mail to you, I have made duplicates of all of the "bad" topics and all of these new topics are now displaying correctly.
Now I have a related, but different issue.
Only one topic is causing that same error msg to display (refer to my original April 27 post: IE script error/syntax error; Line 13, character 1).
The only topic that throws that error msg is the initial topic that displays when the .chm file is opened (i.e., the topic that is specified as the "Default Topic" in the HTML Help Options window when I click the Generate Layout button in the SSL pod.)
Furthermore, the topic that throws the error message will only do so if it is the one specified as the Default Topic.
As an example, if I have the topic Apple specified as the Default Topic, when the .chm file is opened the error msg window will display; when the user clicks either Yes or No to the "Do you want to continue running scripts?" query, the Apple topic will display normally. Each time that topic is selected it will throw the same error msg. window.
If I go back to my project in RH and change the Default Topic to the Pear topic, re-compile the project, when the .chm file is opened the error msg will display; when you click Yes/No the Pear topic will display normally (until it's selected again). The Apple topic now displays fine at all times.
This tells me that the problem seems not to be with the Apple topic, as I'd suspected, but with something that's going on with RH and how it displays the initial topic in a compiled project. I think.
Any ideas on how I can remedy this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Dennis
