Uploaded swf files to website

I have two questions;
I just uploaded my swf file to my website and the file
appears as a link on the index page how do I get it to open up
directly into the file?
The file is smaller than the window, how do I resize the file
so I don't see the animation entering the stage and all the
negative space around the exterior?

are you asking how to embed a swf into a html page?

Need Help, Finding a site for uploading swf files

[moved from AS3 forum by moderator - is not an AS3 discussion]
Alright, so I'm kind of new to these forums. I searched them thoroughly several times, but couldn't a find a section for what I exactly needed. I used an older version of Flash and actionscript to make some interactive games and then exported them.
I've found plenty of sites that allow uploading of a variety of files, including flash based ones. The problem is that these sites are either for storage, downloading the file onto one's computer, or that they would have to go to a specific link to play the game.
What I want is to be able to place a file onto an uploading site and be able to embed it (I think that's the word) to my own site/forums. That way the game can be played on a site and or discussion forum, without members having to go to another site or downloading the game.
What file uploading site would you recommend for this? I've already tried several, but they don't allow embedding files. I would prefer for the site to be free, as I don't have enough files to make it worth paying a monthly fee.
Thanks in advance for any replies/information!

Yes, why not upload it to your own website. Most of sites are not support swf file, but support flv file. To upload swf to your website you can use the code like
<object width="300" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="flashmovie.swf">
<embed src="flashmovie.swf" width="300" height="300">
</embed>
</object>
If you really need to upload swf to other websites, I think you need to convert your video but that will not a game. But maybe you can try to find some flash game websites.

Code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.

code doesn't update when uploading new files to website. I was using an old DW version for a long time then forced to upgrade when I bought my MacBook Pro. Now when I make changes to my pages and link to new files etc on my harddrive, when i upload the pages it won't image because the code still points to harddrive (this did not used to be a problem)... I manually changed the code on the web host site to point to the site and it loaded fine. But now my files on my harddrive also point to the web host files and now don't image on my computer. I never had to worry about this so far and wonder if the new version has a setting I'm supposed to be aware of so that I can design on my hardrive and upload and it knows that the files are being uploaded with it? Ugh hpe this makes sense - I'm NOT a webs designer and the new DW is way more than I use in it's technology.

Hi
This sounds like you have not defined your site in the site definition.
Follow the steps in these 2 tutorials to set-up your site locally and for the remote server -

Can't get preview on uploaded swf file

After uploading swf file created with Camtasia Studio 6.0 as
recommended I constantly receive message "This file can not be
previewed, please download it instead". Can you help me with this?
Thank you in advance

Hello Leon_traut,
Thanks for posting.
While we are able to make previews for some files uploaded to
the Organizer, a SWF isn't one that we create a preview for with
Acrobat.com
If we are able to make a preview, we will, and it will
display. If not, then the option to download is presented as the
alternative.
What you're seeing is expected,
Hope this helps!

Upload swf files

hi!
I was wondering if it's possible to create a php script that would upload swf files and not images.
I found several examples that upload images but i want swf files to be uploaded through php in mysql database.
I appreciate any help or direction.
It should be a way isn't it?

I tried a php script that uploads images changing the image/jpg to application/swf but it doesn't work.
i even tried not to mention the filetype at all.
If you are aware of any script or tutorial i would appreciate to let me know cause i've tried many ways so far.

How do i play my videos in flash file after moving SWF file to website?

Hello all,
I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
Does anyone know how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
Sorry if I've waffled but I'm trying to clear up my situation .
Any help would be super, many thanks,
Flasher87

i am using the website wix, so in order to put the swf file up you just click the "Upload SWF" button, so i don't know how i could put the videos along with the swf, the swf is just sat on the page once i upload it.
second, when using this type of website do you know how i'd go about giving the website the permissions to play flv files?
Thank you.

Problem with swf file on website

I created a swf file with flash CS4. I can do the publish
preview and the video plays just fine. I can even view the
generated html file on my local machine and it works. I upload to
my website and it does not work. Here is the link
http://www.streamlineprofits.net/movies/Potential.html
The player skin is acting like it cant find the swf file but
it is in the same directory. Also, when i go to the publish
settings for the html I select the "Paused at start" but the video
plays when I load the local html file in my browser. Any ideas or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Brian

I don't think it's a permission problem, but somehow the
Flash Player thinks (I think) the stream is coming from another
domain. With me a error pops up that goes like this:

Have you tried a super-simple <object>-style embed of
your video?
I really do think it's the Adobe-AC-JS-stuff that's messing
things up?
You could instead consider using swfobject
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject
But first I think you should try an <object>-embed to
see if it's the JS or the Flash that's messing things up.

How do I allow users to upload personal files through website?

How do I allow users to upload personal files through our website?
I am trying to allow the visitors the ability to upload images for a future contest we will be hosting. I am trying to build a submit form with personal fields (already got this done) along with a field they can upload 1 or 2 images. I want the form to send me an email with details along with image files. I have a BC webbasic+ account and I am using Muse for my web editing.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
You could apply a "file attachment" field within the web form. If needing more than 1 file attachment you'll need to access your form code and hard-code the additional field.
The form will collect the file(s) and will be held within the case details under "related files". You can also assign a workflow to recieve notifications however only 1 file will appear in each email. To see the other files you'll need to access your order details.
All this can be create and managed within your site's admin. yoursite.com/admin
Within the site admin...

Uploading .swf files

I took my site off line for around 6 months and have recently
put it back on only to find a problem with uploading my flash
files. The background file activity says "file activity incomplete,
files or folders were not completed". I contacted my hosts 123-reg
and they directed me to a site to upload my flash files seperately
through net2ftp. I believe i have done this correctly but my flash
file is still not showing on my website. Can anyone help me?
Thankyou. Lynne

This sounds like an FTP problem not a Flash issue. I doubt
anyone will be able to help you here unless they have the same
uploading issues.

Location to upload and share .SWF files?

is there a location to upload .SWF files to share similar to what youtube does for videos?
Thanks.

Ah, that probably wont work out too well then, considering the community
there has both high standards and a love of inside jokes. If you have some
kind of ftp site you can have them upload the files into that, and then go
to the urls of the respective projects (for example"
http://www.exampleftp.net/studentname/project1.html")
That would probably be the best way to do it that way it keeps the students
work in a closed network, getting feedback mainly from their peers, as well
as filters out any kind of spam/offensive/generic "this sucks" type comments
community based sites tend to run into a lot. Also, the work they upload to
the ftp site can be viewed from any computer. Your best bet is probably to
use Dreamweaver to set up the server and uploading their files. That's how
I did it when I took a class in Flash web design last semester. Hope this
helps, and I'm sure someone on the Adobe boards can help with setting up the
FTP site, since it's still something I have all that much experience with.
That or a tutorial could work too.

How can I get my swf files playing on browser?

Hello,
I've been designing my first website and have used dreamweaver, which is very new to me. I've followed a very good beginners guide to making websites and all was well. However, it had nothing about uploading swf files. So I did some research, and found that the easiest way was to insert them into a div box using the media section and choosing swf. again all was well, I can preview it in chrome etc.. and all works fine.
I've come to uploading my site and I've used filezilla, uploaded all the files but I can't see the swf playing on the website. I've looked into it and I just can't find the answer. I've tried uploading them directly into the root folder as well but that doesn't work.
Can somebody please help me!!
here are the links:
www.creativecanvassing.co.uk = the swf should be positioned between the orange logo and the "national direct marketing company' text. There is also the section in picture which has the same problem
not too sure how to attach the copy of the file that shows its all working
Thanks

Hello,
are you really sure that you have uploaded this page with contents? I've got this, when calling this link: http://www.creativecanvassing.co.uk/pictures.html:
Your swf file is running in my IE8 like a charm in all your other pages.

Need Your Help with Swapping SWF files

Hello,
I am need to swap Two SWF files. I am acheving this by make
one swf as a holder. call it main.fla main.swf file. Embed that
file into my html document. In that file I placed one button with
the
following action :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("second.swf", 1);
in that file have a button with action to load the 3rd file :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("3rd.swf", 1);
by loading them in same level (1) they will replace each
other. My problem is that my SWF files obtain some information
using combination of PHP and XML file. I have noticed when I place
the SWF with it’s required PHP and XML in separate folders
the SWF file is uploaded (swapped) but since the PHP files are NOT
run by the server my dynamically generated XML files are empty and
therefore the uploaded SWF file has not information expect the SWF
file. Is there any way to get round this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help and hope you have a great
day.
Cheers,
Babak

Embed that file in your html document. In that file place

loadMovieNum("second.swf", 1);
in that file have a button with action to load the 3rd file :

Swf demo files won't play in flash file on website

Using Captivate 4, I created a project and published to a folder (as Flash 8). The main flash file has 4 swf demo files that are supposed to play on one of the slides; I uploaded all the published files (swf, js, htm) into a folder within my website's CMS. Our CMS uses it's own flash player to play the file; when it plays, all is well except for the slide that is supposed to show the 4 swf demos--these aren't showing up at all. If these demo files are in the same folder in the CMS as the main flash file, why can't it find them to make them play on the slide?
here's a link to the page with the file:
http://stage.lmc.simplicis.net/page/1/testlearningpoint.jsp (see link for "watch this video on city learning point")
--it's the slide with "City Learning Point uses..." that's supposed to play 4 swf demos on the right side of the slide, but they don't show up at all
Our website CMS is hosted and maintained by a vendor--if the issue is with the CMS, I'll need to know what to tell them so we can resolve the issue.

Looks to me like the issue is indeed your CMS. The flash content is loaded in a lightbox, which is most likely controlled by some JavaScript or ASP. My guess would be that the problem lies with the paths to the files. The swf file that the lightbox loads is referenced in your CMS so it knows where to get it - the thing is that most likely it is not played from the location where it's located but instead played from the location where the lightbox script is loaded. Since the 4 SWF's you have are not located there it won't be able to find it.
Also this lightbox approach isn't very good for this type of content. The demo is extremely small and the alignment of the Flash file looks weird. Instead just use the HTML file generated by Captivate and upload that to a directory in your CMS. Then change the link you have so it opens the HTML file in a new window and everything should work out just fine.

Uploading html files with .swf files in them

I created a website and published it in Flash. I then used
Dreamweaver to create the HTML file that I would upload to my
server. But, when I go to my site, the .swf file does not load.
Both the HTML file and the .swf file were uploaded using an
FTP client, so I don't know why it's not showing up.

Don't know if this will fix it for you but when we went
through this we had to tell the server to allow .fla, .swf and .flv
files. Until we did this it didn't show the flash part of the
website.
