You may need to provide more info--loaded swf files do not
contain

Transparent background for an accordion in Captivate 6

How do I remove the background and the shadow from an accordion on interactions? I need a transparent background for an accordion.
P.S.: I'm not interested in purchasing the version 7, I believe that such a basic thing as this must have been provided for version 6.

It is not possible, neither in Captivate 7. You take or leave the interactions as they are.

Turn off transparent background for reading in Adobe Reader X 10.1

Up until yesterday, I did not see a transparent background for all things in Adobe Reader X 10.1. This makes for very annoying reading. How do I turn off the transparent background? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you're talking about the transparency grid, check the following user preference: Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Page Content and Information > Show transparency grid

Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w

I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
Appreciate any guidance.

Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency"

Creating a transparent background with a SWF file for Export to Air

I have been trying to place a SWF with a transparent background into an image component and use as a background for a widget. When I place the swf (just a simple single frame swf file) and output with any other method the background works perfectly. If I output to air then the background is a white rectangle with only a progress bar the stays at 0%. I have tried to not embed it but I get a broken link icon in the same rectangle.
What am I missing? Should the swf file have some special setting that I am missing?
I am using Xcelsisus 2008 with SP1 and FP1.
Thank you for any assistance.

While there is no means to be sure about the method in which SAP/BO creates their components. My assumption is that the component uses the WindowedApplication or an HTMLLoader object(more likely) to display each SWF file.
If this is the case then it is a known limitation in Adobe Air that we may be able to overcome by trying out the methods described in the following link: [Air Transparency Help|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e09.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a452d-7fe5]
Or try this link for more detail on [HTMLLoader display options within Air|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e79.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a3e36-7ff9]
Let me know if this works! Now I'm curious...

SWF movies Transparent BackGround for TV How?

I wanna run my SWF ADS Banner for TV with Transparent
Background, I am unable to do,
all Banners are runing with default white Background, How I
gonna solve that problem
I am using speacial video editing software: via builder ,
from here I transfer/export/republish the SWF file to file.via,
than from chracter genrater inscriber hardware that through
VB made program that display and complile the .via file to run on
TV screen, but in TV screen I wanna use trasparent BG of SWF,

You need to use a mask on the banner. This will make the rest
of the layers under the mask layer transparent.
So what you need to find is info on masking in flash, if the
ads move you will need to look for animated masking info.

Embedding SWF Not Working Right? (FB 4.7 issue?)

Hey guys, I recently downloaded FB 4.7 and noticed something changed when compiling and running my project.
I have the following code in one of my classes. It simply embeds a symbol from a SWF and adds it to the stage as a MovieClip:
[Embed(source="/../lib/swfs/splash_screens.swf", symbol="Splash1")]
private static const Splash1:Class;
_splash1 = new Splash1();
addChild(_Splash1);
_splash1.play();
Now, in this MovieClip in the FLA there are two layers, one layer is a bunch of vector animation and the second layer is the background (as an imported Bitmap) - no animation.
The problem is that second layer with the background doesn't show up in my project after I've embedded and added the MovieClip to the stage, it's as if the MovieClip has a transparent background with just the first layer with all of the vector animation showing up.
Things I've tried/noted:
The background layer is not a guide and is visible if I play the raw SWF to just see what it looks like
If I add other layers and just draw nonsense on them, etc - they do show up
If I trace the background Bitmap (turns it into vector art) it will show up
If I convert the background Bitmap to a Graphic or MovieClip and then put it on the stage, it still doesn't show up
It seems FB 4.7 is grabbing the correct symbol from the library, it's just not grabbing the background (which is also in the library, as an imported Bitmap) which I feel it should, since it's included in the MovieClip symbol
Now I understand there are workarounds that I can always use as a last resort (embedding the background JPG and adding it to the stage as a Bitmap separately at runtime), but I'd prefer to have this working correctly so if things change visually in the future, it's less work for me.
I'm pretty sure when I originally coded this when using FB 4.6 I did not have this issue (and since then nothing has changed at all, not the code or the SWF file). This is why I'm led to believe it's either a FB 4.7 issue or maybe there's something extra I need to do to the FLA before exporting the SWF file.
Any help appreciated!

First things first, to eliminate the silly stuff, you have a typo in the code you have there which would break things - addChild(_Splash1); should be addChild(_splash1); (capital S). Is this a copy error or is it in your actual code?

Embedding swf into HTML+JS AIR app

Hi
I'm trying to embed swf into HTML+JS AIR app with no luck.
First, I created flash library with this class in default package.
package
     import mx.controls.Alert;
     public class Utilities
          public function Utilities()
                         //asdfasdf
               Alert.show("asdasd","");
Then I compiled the project with Flash Builder and got library.swc as result. Then I extracted swf file.
After this is added required code into my html:
<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRAliases.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRIntrospector.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
    <script src="library.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            alert('loaded');
            air.Introspector.logError("aaa");
            var v = new runtime.Utilities();
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Then after I run application, I get error that result of expression is not constructor, function etc.
Could you help me please? Thanks in advance.
Here is sample code:

No. I mean that the Flex framework makes certain assumptions about the environment it is running in -- like having a stage to work with. The Alert function, for example, works by creating a sprite and adding it to the Flash display list. Since your embedded SWF is not on a stage, there's no way for it to work.
You can can possibly use certain non-visual parts of the framework, such as the rpc package, but I can't guarantee it.

Re: embedding SWF into HTML

I don't seem to be able to add to the discussion! Hans wanted the url of the file that works: http://claudinegrandjean.com/Me.- html this is the one that doesn't please forget the placement of the SWF I could fix it if it worked; Cheers, Claudine

Why do audio tracks for embedded .swfs for Slide 14, 25 and 36 audio tracks auto play on Slide 1?

I have created a Captivate course with no audio.
Slide 14 in the course has an inserted .swf animation WITH audio (a demo with ‘Kate’s voice’).
Slide 25 in the course has an inserted .swf animation WITH audio.
Slide 36 in the course has an inserted .swf animation WITH audio.
These animations are ‘hidden’ in the slide 14, 25, 36 Properties, and are told to ‘show’ when user clicks a button on the slide.
When published to my hard drive, the course runs as it should, and the animations play correctly when user clicks the play button on slides 14, 25 and 36.
When published course is uploaded to a file server, the course runs as it should, and the animations play correctly when user clicks the play button on slides 14, 25 and 36.
When published course is uploaded to a web server, all 3 .swf animations show up for a split second, (plus 2 other small animated images) one after another, and then disappear, and then the audio of the 1st starts playing, 5 seconds later the audio of the 2nd starts playing, and 5 seconds later the audio of the 3rd starts playing.
The odd thing about this is that once the course is in the Internet Brower cache and the course is refreshed, the audio of the 3 embedded .swfs does not start playing on slide one, and the course works as it should.
Can you please tell me what to do to make the 3 .SWFs NOT execute when slide one of the course is opened?

Did you ever get an answer to this question? Since you have partial success, perhaps you can share some info. My main .swf is loaded on a web server and links to other URLs works well but links to other .swf that are loaded in the same directory as the main .swf do not activate at all..no sound, no visual. Did you load your sub-swf files in the same directory? did you use a special naming scheme? did you load the .html file for the sub-swf?

Embedded swf not playing in Captivate 4

Hi - I have embedded a flash authored swf into CP4, it is published from flash as a ver 9 swf. I am using Flash Player 10 on the PC. It's a single frame swf and contains AS3 code to make a simple rollover image popup (further development is planned but just testing for now). It works when viewed standalone in a browser or with the flash player
In CP4 when played by either previewing it or by publishing and viewing in a browser, the screen with that swf on it is a 'white screen of death'. I have tried the following:
1. clicking and unclicking synchronise with project
2. click and unclick externalize animations check box in prefs - the swf file was also manually copied over to the publish directory
3. set display for "duration of animation"..also tried 'rest of slide' and 'specific time'
4. click and unclick - 'synchronise with project'
5. Set Actionscript Version in prefs to "AS3"
6. I placed another different swf (flash ver9) onto the following slide in CP4 - this one with no Actionscript content at all - just a simple timeline based motion tween. It works!
Does anyone know if CP4 cannot accept embedded swf's with Actionscript 3 code in them?

Hi there
Oftentimes the warning about referencing Root is simply a nuisance and may be totally ignored.
I find that the animation works here on my own PC if I click Edit > Preferences... > Project node > Publish Settings node and configure for AS3.
Perhaps try that?
Cheers... Rick

Transparent Backgrounds for Graphics

Someplace in here a couple months ago one of you brilliant folks mentioned manipulation of images in AppleWorks so as to obtain a transparent (rather than a white) background. I remember testing it in ClarisWorks, and it worked there also, but like a dope I forgot to document the steps.
Anyone help with that?
Thanks 0db

Fortunately. when I write a fairly lengthy response, I try to save it for inspiration in case the need should come up again. Here is mine for this transparency issue in AppleWorks. Note, though, that I've had some problems getting this to consistently work lately & I don't know why. For the last couple of years I've been doing most of my work that requires this kind of stuff in Pages.
AppleWorks doesn't handle transparency well, even using formats such as .gif or .png saved with transparent backgrounds in another application. However, a few years ago I accidentally discovered that if an object is flipped or rotated in AppleWorks, the background will become transparent. The object doesn't even have to be .gif or .png & have transparency.
Once I discovered this, I used GraphicConverter to flip an image horizontally & save it as a PICT. Then I insert the object in my AppleWorks document & flip it back. I use PICT because it is the only graphic format that will retain the native resolution. All other graphic formats are changed to 72 dpi by AppleWorks.

Rendering transparent background for website video

I have a comp for a website that I'm doing.
I have a transparent background and some fading in WHITE text with a light ray animated behind it.
I have followed instructions on how to render with the transparency intact (Quicktime, PNG, RGB+Alpha, Millions of Colors+). When I render it out and watch it in Quicktime, the light ray isn't correct and there's no transparency. Same thing with Final Cut Pro.
When I bring the footage back into AE, the transparency is there so I'm assuming that the transparency is there but QT & FC just don't play transparency files.
I need the transparency bc I want the text to reveal over a background picture I have in my webpage design.
Is there anyway to get this done right? I need the file to NOT be 300+ megabytes and when I drag the clip into COMPRESSOR to make it smaller, nothing is showing on the preview screen. I've been doing some research but haven't found anything to make it work correctly.
Can someone help me with this?
In the end, what I'm attempting to do is add the QT video into my iWeb page and have it play. I'm not a coder so I don't know how to make this happen any other way than making a QT movie and then adding it iWeb.
thanks in advance.

The only video format that supports transparency in a web browser is a flash player. That really doesn't fully support transparency either. The QuickTime player or any other video player will never ever support transparency in a web browser. Your project design is flawed from the outset. Another words you cannot do what you are trying to do using QuickTime. You will have to redesign for flash. If you redesign with flash, then you will not have a mobile compatible application.
I don't have much of an explanation of what you are trying to accomplish with your project so I can't give you more pointers than that. Point us to a website that has the features you are trying to implement on your webpage and maybe we can give you some ideas but After Effects is not where you should be looking.
