Web Crawlers and Flash Sites

So I realize this is probably an age old question, but...
I'm designing a new version of my web site (
http://www.steveweeksmusic.com/Intro.html).
The Home page will be one big flash object. Other than the basic
tags, there is not much HTML on this page. All the links are
embedded in the Flash movie.
The subsequent pages in my site are pretty much HTML with a
small flash object that is the navigation menu. If a webcrawler
makes it's way to any of these pages, I'm sure it'll crawl all over
my site and index everything for search engines.
My home page will get discovered by search engines as it is
referenced from plenty of other sites, but my concern is that the
web crawlers won't ever go past my Home page since there are no
HTML links on it, just a Flash object.
I do have a non-flash version of my homepage, but I'd prefer
to have the Flash version be the one that web crawlers know about.
It detects if the browser has the correct version of Flash and
allows the person to download Flash or goto the non-flash. if they
don't.
So, if anyone has advice on strategies to get a web crawler
to crawl"through" my flash home page and into the next tieer of
pages, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Steve

Help implementing Web Gallery into Flash Site.

Ive created a flash site through a tutorial, but I prefer adobe's web gallery design. I created one through adobe bridge but when I navigate to the photo section where I added it, it takes over the screen and prevents me from navigating away from it. I was curious if it were possible to restrict its size, im also all ears for any other suggestions.

I am not familiar with what PS CS2 creates, but you should
check whatever publish settings there are for that feature to make
sure that any file protection features are not enabled. That may be
the source of the problem.

Dreamweaver and Flash site problems

I have completed my website. It's built in Dreamweaver CS3
with Flash CS3 movies in the Dreamweaver html files. I created it
on a MAC. I have no problem seeing everything on a MAC, but PC
users cannot get around the site. Some buttons won't work. Loads
slowly. Help!

It is built in both Flash and Dreamweaver version CS3 on MAC
using Action Script 2. Here's the problem. In four of the Flash
files we created buttons using the getURL coding to send the viewer
to a new page which is in the root directory on the ftp site with
rest of the site. This buttons do not work on PC's. The other of
the buttons in the site were created in dreamweaver which are
working fine for both Mac and PC. When we load the entire site up
to our FTP site, anyone working on a MAC is able to go through the
site from page to page, and the buttons built in Flash work fine.
However, folks working on PCs cannot get the buttons built in the
Flash pages to work.
If you go to barnesandliston.com, click on photography at the
bottom of the home game and then click on sports or nature or
picture story you'll see that those links don't work (if you are on
a PC). Those are the buttons created in Flash that only work on a
Mac. Code follows:
nature_btn.onPress = function() {
getURL("
http://www.barnesandliston.com/nature",
"_self");
};

Adobe CS4 Creative Suite Web Edition and Flash CS5 Crashing Problems

Hi, just a simple question;
I have a Windows XP Pro x64 & x86 Machine which both have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and Adobe Flash CS5 installed onto.
The problem i have is that when i install Flash CS5 onto the machine which already has Adobe Creative Suite CS4 is breaks basically, Flash CS5 keeps crashing, even if just creating something simple like a box with colour in it.
I have installed every update available for both products and this still does not rectify the problem. Ive read numerous articles about fonts, hotfixes, updates etc etc etc.
None of the forums has an asnwer to this. I would post an error report but as the machines crash im unable to gather this information.
This is a big problem for us as we use this in industry and we need to resolve this asap, no point paying for products if they cant work together, my theory is something to do with shared libraries which both products use, i could be wrong, but this is what im left to think is wrong.
Has anyone else had this same problem, if so, whats the answer to rectify this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the lack of information provided, i would post more but cant gather extra information whats causing this.

I'm using CS3/CS4/CS5 and a standalone After effects CS5.5 here side by side without issues - on Vista 64. Can't tell you much specific about Flash, though, since I use it too rarely. Bridge may have a temper, but most of these "issues" relate to Mini-Bridge in Photoshop CS5, which nobody forces you to use and people being unhappy with thinbgs like contact sheets or PDF catalogs having moved to Bridge ratehr than still being PS scripts. So from where I stand, these are non-issues. Of course you'll have to live with the fact that things like browsing in Bridge or editing originals are always wired in such a way as to use the latest version of a suite, which might cause compatibility issues when e.g. trying to invoke Bridge in CS4 to browse something, which will then launch Bridge CS5. None of this is unresolvable, though, and mostly requires editing Bridge prefs and your system's fiel association handling... With regards to your otehr issues, I realyl recommend you give Process Explorer a spin. if this happens even on fresh system installs, the most likely cause is some missing DLL, which you also can only find out this way. A blindfire approach to this problem would be to simply install any .NET and MSVC runtime you can get a hold of and similar stuff, but this might only add unnecessary files and still miss the one that you would need...

Web application and site collection not accessibe

I have created a web application and a site collection. But when I tried to access the site by browser on the server the page cannot be displayed or the server cannot be found. What should I configure? Please say by detailed steps.

I created a host header extranet.xxx.xx and alternate access mapping is ok. But still I'm not able to access the site by http://server name:port no. It gives The web page cannot be found or this web page can't be displayed.
Now when I try with Firefox with http://server name:port no, it gives
"Bad request - Invalid hostname
HTTP Error 400. The hostname is invalid."
More: if I go to Alternate Access Mappings > Add Internal URL:s > Save is grayed out.
You have two options,
Option 1 : Accessing the web application without any host header name and with the port no you have created. (ex: (http://server1:5500 )
Option 2. Accessing it with the host header name (ex:http://mywebapp.contoso.com) you have created for which you need to create a DNS and set an AAM accordingly in the corresponding zone.
For the option no 1. you need to have a host header in IIS which would be created by default while you create a web application and it should be like this unless you did nit change it. http (Type)---blank host name--All Unassigned in the IP section---and
the port no in which you have created.
PS : If you have one more IP address in the server, its good to set the same IP address which is set for server for the name resolution to happen properly.
If you have n't specified the hostheader while creating the web application, then you need to add it manually with the existing one which is there for option no 1. It should be added as below. http---Mywebapp.contoso.com--IP address in which you have created
the DNS and Port 80.
If AAM save is grayed out, check it from some other browser. Also Hostname invalid clearly implies that there is some problem with the name resolution. Check whether you could ping the webapplication from the server where you are trying to access it.

Incoming Email Settings for the libraries in My Sites and Personal Sites

Hello Friends,
I'm currently working on SharePoint 2013 implementation where My Sites have been configured in a separate web application and personal sites are being stored under same web application.
Ex: My Site Host : http://mysite.abc.com
All Personal sites: http://mysite.abc.com/Personal/firstname_lastname
These are the challenges I'm facing...
1. I enabled Incoming Emails for one of the document library in My Site host but not receiving emails. (All settings are properly configured, document libraries in other sites (team sites) are getting emails.). I doubt the problem is only with my site template.
2. Incoming Email Settings are not appearing in "one Drive" document library in my personal site( which is "Documents" library in personal site). So I added Email event as stated here and here
and settings are started appearing, but I can enter only email address as other settings are not appearing. Here also I'm facing the same problem.
Kindly share ideas if any.
Thanks!!

Hi,
It is encourage that you to use another library in another site template:

PDF files load on the web, quicktime doesn't and flash doesn't

I am amazed pdf files load but not quicktime video.
Even apples own website has some streaming video and it will not load.
Flash sites don't seem to load either.
But PDF files.
At least they got that right.

Good info on the developer page.
I have a number of QT Videos on my website that I converted to "iPod Video" using Compressor2. Oddly, most will play on iPhone but some refuse! The embedded video frame shows the QT logo and a "play" icon when it think it can play, otherwise it show a greyed "play" icon with a line through it. And I thought all the videos were the same!
I'd give out the web page in question, but the last thing I need is 700,000 hits from curious iPhone owners. Send me an email if you're curious and I'll be happy to share.

.mac site and flash

Ok, I am not very web literate, so please forgive my ignorance. I've searched through the forums and don't think I saw an answer for this, so here's my question...
I have had someone build me a website that is done completely in flash. Am I able to get that site up in place of the site I have currently up that I made in Iweb? If its possible, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance!

It is possible to upload a site build in another programme to a MobileMe account, but in this case, you may need to 'drag and drop' the site folders directly to your iDisk, so you would need to mount it on your desktop and then drag and site folders to the Web/Sites folder on your iDisk.
iWeb does not support ftp, but does support webdav, which is included with Dreamweaver. Do you know if Adobe Flash has it? If so, then you can use WebDav to upload to iDisk.me.com/Web/Sites/Site Folder.
Mostly, flash sites take a little longer to load because of their complexity, so MobileMe in this case, would probably not be a good host for your site. MMe is not know for its speed and even people who publish iWeb sites to MMe complain about download time. If you have a domain name, then I would strongly urge you to purchase a hosting package to go with your domain. Get a simple package from GoDaddy - the Linux option is better. You do not need to pay a fortune for it and the server speed will be a lot better for a flash site.
My advice, don't host a flash site on MMe, it is not worth it. Get a proper professional hosting package from a hosting company such as GoDaddy. Sure you won't regret doing this in the end.

How do I find and save the background music file of my Flash site?

I see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz. When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as .\flash\sound\muz.wav I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file. I tried doing a search to look for the muz.wav file in my computer but it could not be found. Does anyone know how I can find and save this file? Can the symbol somehow be exported and the sound file be extracted that way?

I copied and pasted the symbol into an empty .fla file. This new .fla file is just 1 frame. Can you tell me what you mean by "spreading" it along the timeline? When I tried exporting it to a .wav file (as just 1 frame in timeline), I only hear a fraction of a fraction of the first note of the music in the generated .wav file. The music is heard fine in its entirety when previewing the .fla file (F12).
By the way, in the symbol's properties, there is an option to "Export for ActionScript" and an option to "Export for runtime sharing". Do you think any of these would work?

Hi,
In addition to what Ken said, I would suggest that you give Edge Animate a shot as well.
Creative Cloud is available as trial version for 30 days and almost all creative software is bundled with the Creative Cloud. Tutorials are included for each of the products on the respective sections of the website. For instance, this site Website builder | Download free Adobe Dreamweaver CC trial gives you access to the trial version as well as tutorials.
I suggest that you go to http://creative.adobe.com and explore the various options available.
For any purchase related information, feel free to send me a private message if you need further clarification. Click on my picture and use the message option. The experts on this forum can help you with other questions you have on using Creative Cloud.
Thanks,
Preran

Do Flash Sites appear? if not what happens and what does it look like?

Has anyone tried any Flash based websites to see what it looks like?
If anyone has any screen captures or photos of the iPhone viewing Flash sites, I'm interested to see what happens before I buy an iPhone. Thanks

Hi,
Right now you cannot download anything to the Iphone, as there is no user access to the file system.
You can download to your computer and then sync to move pictures, songs, etc to the phone through itunes for now.
Hope this helps!

Using web services with flash cs3 and actionscript 3.0

Hi,
I want to use web services under flash cs 3 and by using as
3.0.
It was possible with as 2.0 to do it easily thanks to the
webservice Connector.
But I can't find how to use web services under flash and as
3.0.
I thought web services took part of the many improvements
flash cs 3.0 contain, but obviously it does not:(
Can anybody help me to use webservices with flash cs 3 and as
3.0?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal

Dark Armor, You mentioned the book Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book, which I have. I could not find anything in there. Did you mean to say Actionscript 3.0 for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional? I do have that book and it looks like there is information there. Just wanting to make sure that you meant what you said. Thanks!

Hi,
I have a report that is featured and is available for Q&A and now I want to display this functionality in a web part of a site.
I am using a trial right now, so I am not sure if I have all the necessary licences, but I am really new to this subject so a link to msdn page or blog item might already do the trick.
This is what I have right now:
