SWF won't play onced inserted into html page, though plays in absolute paths

I have embedded a SWF in my index page. The background image saved in the FLA shows up, but none of the remaining content. If I put in the URL to the actual SWF and HTML files, however, everything works fine.
palmettowebproductions.com is the URL of the site
this is the code in the index page:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8.0.22.0" width="900" height="284" id="slideshow\"> <param name="movie" value="/flashslidebanner/slideshow.swf"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="/flashslidebanner/slideshow.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="900" height="284" wmode="transparent" name="slideshow"></embed></object>

This to me sounds like an issue with the ActionScript. Have you tried posting in the Flash forum?

Animation works in preview, and breaks once inserted into a page as .oam

I built a simple animation that allows a user to step forward and backward through the timeline. I was able to leverage code from the Edge blog, so I'm pretty sure it's solid. The animation even previews well, but when I publish to .oam and reference the file from a different directory, the animation suddenly breaks. I really don't know what to do.
I've tried creating a blank page in the same directory as the .oam file, and it is still breaking.
When I say it breaks, what is happening is it appears a specific point in the timeline where an element should fade out, but it doesn't. Instead it remains as the other elements continue to work properly.
Any ideas how to test this problem?
Here is the code for my "back" button:
var current = sym.getVariable("current");
   if (current != "start") {
      sym.getSymbol("the_wheel").playReverse();
   else {
      sym.getSymbol("the_wheel").playReverse("end");
sym.setVariable("current", "the_wheel");

Hi Sarah,
I uploaded fresh files. Sorry, I have so many versions right now, it's hard to keep things straight.
http://dezylum.com/wheel/wheel.html
I'm testing on Mac and PC:
Mac: Safari and Chrome (both up to date)
PC: Firefox, Chrome and IE (all up to date)
Note: the files TEST from Edge just fine. It's only when I publish to the .oam file, insert the link into my page and test it that way that the animation breaks.
When navigating forward or backward through the animation, the color bars that are in between the light blue circle and the darker arrows should fully fade in to a light color and fully fade out to white as the next light bar fades in. When you navigate backward and reach the dark blue arrow, and click back again to reach the yellow-orange arrow, the light blue bar gets stuck when fading to the yellow-orange bar. Here is a screen grab.
The light blue bar should fade completely to white, but does not until you navigate back and reach the dark orange arrow. I hope that makes sense .
Thanks for your help and attention!

.swf won't play - blank screen

Hello,
I had my flash designer take a 16MB .mpg file and convert it
to a 2MB .swf
file.
I created a "blank" .hmtl page and dropped in the .swf -
which shows up as
the white box on this page:
http://emerge-solutions.com/pland
(this link will forward you to the page.)
After I got a blank screen, I uploaded the .flv (2MB) and the
.fla (14MB)
files to the server as well (same folder as the .html file)
but that didn't
help - same blank screen.
Can anyone help me understand why this .swf won't play?
Thank you in advance!

It plays fine for me.
Tested in Chrome, IE7, and FF3

Can insert and html page inside a symbol

How can I insert and html page in a symbol
By example: One Menu with five options. When click in option one: showme www.google.com; when click option two then show www.adobe.com...
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks
Now in spanish
Buenos dias
Quisiera saber si existe la posibilidad de visualizar una pagina web en un symbol, de manera que dependiendo de un menu, me muestre una dirección u otra.
No se si esto es posible, porque soy muy novato en esto.
Les ruego su ayuda.
Gracias y saludos

>thx for reply
>i used Iframe anyway
>btw im noob in html =.=
Iframes are usually a terrible solution, in my opinion. If
you need the background fixed, why not just set it to fixed rather
than introducing fames and all of the problems they bring? Do you
have a url?

Most compatable file type to use when copying and pasting specially formatted text into html pages?

Hello,
I have a simple web site at http://www.psychicmeatloaf.com which is an online poetry journal site. I use files people send me (mostly .doc or .docx) and cut and paste the text from those files into html pages in an older version of Dreamweaver and some of the text has special formatting (like this page: http://www.psychicmeatloaf.com/Chang-poetry.htm ). The best way I have found to maintain the special text formatting is to open the .docx files and "save as a web page" in Word and then open the web page from Dreamweaver and then "Preview the page" in Explorer and copy and paste from the preview into an html page in Dreamveaver. Even using this method, some text will not maintain it's special formatting and for those I just save the page as a .jpg file and use that, because I have no other choice.
My question is, is there a better way and is there a better file type to work from other than .docx?
Thanks a milliom,
George

That's a lot of steps to get to a single end that could be done with a simple copy & paste of the text into code. Like Photoshop and Fireworks, Word writes some very bulky and dirty code. I wouldn't recommend it for direct copy by the method described above.
I personally copy the text and paste it into code view. It takes a little more work, but I don't get dozens of lines of inline styles added with it and using a preformatted post div (saved and hidden in the code (), I can quickly put title, date, byline and links up with a cut & paste.
That's just my $0.02 worth
Also, since nearly EVERYONE will use a different formatting in a Word doc, putting a bunch of differently formatted posts into a page will make it look like one of those ransom notes made of cut out text from different newspapers and magazines. Better to keep everything in a single format (your format) so it doesn't become an eyesore.

How to embed Labview-style charts objects into html pages?

Hello all,
I am building a C# (.Net) application that publishes html web pages. Certain pages must contain graphs that I refresh dynamically using select statement that query data from SQL SERVER databases. I like the look-and-feel of the Labview graphs and would like to know in details by which means I could embed them in my C# application. I have looked on the NI web site but aside of certain old articles about Components Works (CW) in Labview 8, have not found any other information on the subject.
Also are there alternate objects that you know on the market that would be more easily embeddable into html pages and still have the same functions as the Labview graphing objects?
Thanks a lot
Christophe

Hello Crist0phe,
Like tst mentioned it might be a good idea to have a look at Measurement Studio and evaluate it.
You can just download the trial version over here:
http://sine.ni.com/np/app/main/p/docid/nav-99/lang/nl/
FYI: You can consider Measurement Studio as the newer set of tools that replaced Component Works.
You could kind of consider it as a "next step" in evolution after Component Works.
Most .NET developers that use Measurement Studio also really like the WPF UI Controls, so for sure have a look at them while evaluating Measurement Studio.

Help with inserting SWF file into .html page

I created a photo gallery in Flash CS5.5, using the advanced photo gallery template. It works fine as a standalone SWF file but it's not displaying properly when I try and insert it into the Gallery page of my website.
The thumbnails are showing as blank white boxes and the main image holder isn't showing at all, though the controls beneath it are showing. The SWF file and all the images are stored in site/images/gallery/ and my Gallery page is in the root. What's going on here? Can anyone help please?
Thanks

If you are storing any of your Flash assets in sub-folders and having problems... it's most likely because of pathing problems. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
Best wishes,
Eye for Video

What it boils down to is that you need to path the Flash assets from the Web page that you place the main .swf on... NOT the physical location of the .swf

SWF won't play on my website

Hey all,
I have created and published a flash movie for my website using Flash CS3 that I inserted into the website using Dreamweaver CS3, I did this by choosing insert, media, flash within DW.....upon upload of the site, it will not play, although I can play the html file and the swf file as a standalone, it will not play within my website....any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Thank so much Booya!

.swf won't play from webserver

Someone hijacked my last post, so here it is again.
http://www.milkmoonkids.com
There is a brown square that has a .swf loaded into it. It
plays locally, but not when I upload it to my webserver. Any idea
what is going on? I appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Rich

Of course without seeing and testing the page, it's impossible to tell for sure whats wrong. Can you post a link to the actual page.
That being said, my first guess is that it's being published with something like this in the <object> code:
swfversion 11.0.0.0
... meaning that some version of Flash player 11 is required to play the .swf. For viewers with that version installed it works, for those without, it doesn't.This has been a real common problem when "Publish" sticks that version 11 requirement in the code.
So open the HTML page. find that part of the <object> code and edit the code to read swfversion 10 instead.
Use DreamWeaver or NotePad or whatever to edit... but without seeing the page, that's my best guess.
Best wishes,

My swf doesn't work when inserted into my website

Hi I am trying to create a gallery on my website. The way I am doing it is I am making several swfs that consist of an image that you click on, it goes into full screen, click it again and it goes back, then importing them into dreamweaver. the as3 code I am using in Flash is
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
function toggleFullScreen():void
if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL) {
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
} else {
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
btn_fullsc.buttonMode = true;
btn_fullsc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonOnClick)
function buttonOnClick(event:MouseEvent):void
toggleFullScreen();
When I export and open just the swf, it works, but when imported into dreamweaver, then published it doesn't, it still shows the original image but when you click it nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? any help would be great.
PS
I am an idiot when it comes to computers. If you send me a different code that I'm supposed to use just give me the exact code that I can just copy and paste into flash

First, change this:
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
function toggleFullScreen(e:Event):void
if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL) {
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
} else {
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
btn_fullsc.buttonMode = true;
btn_fullsc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleFullScreen)
Make sure you have the following publishing option in your html-wrapper activated:
(File>Publishing Options>HTML-Wrapper>Template:Flash only - allow Fullscreen)

Insert one html page into another html page

Hi there,
I wonder if sombody can help. I am trying to insert one short
html page into another page. I could not find any option or feature
in Dreamweaver that allow me to insert the page at all. The page I
want to insert has the links and it is a short page, just like a
banner. When I update the links on that page it will update all
other pages in the website. I do not have to open many pages to
update. I have been using FrontPage and I am now converting to
Dreamweaver. Some codes from FrontPage does not work in
Dreamweaver. I would very much appreciate if somebody can help with
the codes.
This is my website so that you can understand what I mean. At
the top of the screen there are many links that are from one page I
inserted into index.html. I use FrontPage. But, Dearmweaver does
not work that way.
Thank you. Kevin

Captivate 4 published SWFs won't play suddenly

Hello, I have been happily making Captivate 4 training, using a template. The published SWry mF movies have been playing just fine... on my PC and several others.
But today went to show off my work to the boss... who HAS successfully played previous Captivates I've made, and they won't play.
Double-clicking the HTM, or trying to open the SWF from the browser just shows a blank white screen that does nothing. What would cause a published SWF, etc., to suddenly not play on selected machines... the owner doesn't remember chanigng anything...
And, what would be my trouble-shooting sequence to try and fix this problem?
Thank you very much

Hi there
Same dog, different leg action. In other words, what you linked to is a red herring.
What I mean by that is the article you linked to is referring to an inability to preview from Captivate 3. You are talking about Captivate 4 and the issue doesn't seem to manifest until after you publish, right?
Sure, Flash Player 10 may appear to be the common link at the moment, but we don't know for sure. With Captivate 3, the issue was only with preview. The output worked just fine. So the issue there is with an internal mechanism in Captivate as you work to create your content. What you are seeing now is certainly related to the internals of Captivate, but 4 is a new beast. It would seem that 4 has maybe introduced something causing this for you.
There may have been a few other posts related to this phenomenon. But they are very few and far between. Given the widespread use of the Flash Player, if it were solely an issue with the Player, I might expect we would have seen loads of reports. But we haven't.
I'll be very interested to see what you discover. Out of curiousity, I'm guessing you have attempted different combinations of settings? AS2 VS AS3, externalizing items, etc.?
Cheers... Rick

My Flash SWF file inside of my Flash Catalyst SWF won't play when previewed in Dreamweaver?

However, when I preview the flash catalyst swf file, the flash swf thats inside, plays just fine. any suggestions or solutions?

Does the one swf load the other swf? If so, is the one swf in the same folder as the html file that embeds it?

Updated SWF won't play in browser anymore

I recently made a word change, that's all, to my fla file and exported the updated swf file. It plays in preview just fine, as well as when typing in the direct url - www.bicesandiego.com/about.swf but won't play on its own after I uploaded to the server.
I am not a programmer and received these files from the client, but I have made changes to this very file before and it worked fine. Now, it will not show when I go to the about page. Any thoughts?

If the main file loads the about file, it may have a mask that needs to be extended. But since you say you only changed a word, as opposed to adding a number of them, I don't see what that would have done to change anything. So you must have changed something else in the process of whatever you were doing.
