Webpage with a swf file reloads on safari on every visit

can anyone explain why a webpage with a swf file reloads on safari on every visit? it's a 1.2 MB swf file - it takes about 5-10 seconds to load but apparently doesn't get stored in the browser's cache. when you go to another page and back to the original page it loads again. (in internet explorer, once the file has loaded it is stored in the cache and doesn't repeat the loading process)

Yes, similar to your experience, Safari reloads the page on my system too, i.e. does not write it to cache. So when I backspace, the page reloads. Same, if I enter the site on a new tab after an initial load on another tab. By contrast, Firefox, on the backspace or new tab, displays the page immediately without the reload being necessary. Very nice site by the way. Very effective use of Flash content. Is it your web design?
You may find it helpful to send feedback to Apple. Perhaps, they'll change the caching, or perhaps offer it as an option, in Safari's next version due to make its debut with OS X Leopard in early 2007 (I'm an optimist - ).
Let me know if you need any further help on this end. Aloha from Big Island.

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT

Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description

I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
any idea to achieve this

Can't use screensaver with flash (swf file) after mavericks upgrade

Hi, I have a screensaver who reads a html file with a SWF. It works perfectly on 10.8 (and older versions) but since I passed on 10.9 Mavericks I have a white screen without my animation. In safari the html page with the animation is working well ...
Is it possible that Apple is blocking the swf file in the screensaver ? Is there a parameters to activate somewhere ?

I made the screen saver myself with xcode and i builded it in 64 bits with the last version of xcode ... When the screensaver is launching, it create a temporary html with a swf and, then reads it in a web zone. With Safary the html file works fine but in my screensaver i have a white screen.
I will check if the swf is in 32 or 64 bits (it's not me who generate the the swf file's). Thanks for the reply.

The webpage in the swf file

hi,i want to catch a function that when i open the swf file ,
then the webpage shows in flash, how to realize it? if i use the ie
to parse the html code can achieve the goal. and i want to know how
the AIR achieve the goal. please give me some advice,
thanks.

Yes, I think I am going to have to just use Flash. The flash I was creating was very simple, and Encore would have done the trick if it had not been for the fact that the file would always require the AuthoredContent.xml file. I was just trying to avoid having to learn ActionScript, and most of my animation is coming directly from AfterEffects, with which I am much more comfortable. However, since I first made that post, I have started learning ActionScript, and also realized how to use the XFL format, so it does not appear to be too bad. Within a few weeks, I should be able to create in Flash what I was trying to do in Encore.
Thanks for the advice!

User log in issue with Xcelsius SWF file

HI,
I am using the BI as source to BO. Xcelsius dashboard is using webi data by live office.
I have exported the xcelsius in swf file & ppt format.
i am using the credentials user name, password and authentication as SAP.
I have the roles which are created in BI and imported to BO and the roles have users in BI , which came by default to BO.
Now I have created the new users in BI with initial password. I cant login to infoview or swf until i change the initial password in BI and thn with new password i can log in to BO. I understood this concept.
But confusing part is after changing to new password in BI, i can be able to log in to swf or PPT but not fetching latest data from data base.
if i log on first into infoview , thn i can be able to log onto swf file or PPT correctly and access the latest data.
If i directly access the ppt file , i get 'failed to get the document information. lo 26315". But if i login to infoview first then to swf or ppt i wont get any problem.
The problem is, users are access the dashboard file from ppt and pdf. So , is there any work around that, the new user can directly access the data from swf or ppt, without entering the infoview???

Hi sapbi83 ,
May i Know which connection you are using for fetching data into xcelsius, is it LO(Live Office) or Qaaws
if it is Live Office then what is the refresh property set for live office object? and how many live office objects or how many qaaws connection u are using.?
provide the answe of all the above question, i'll be able to help you and Infoview has nothing to do it with the real time data connectivity. the dashboard is completely dependent on the connections used to get data into the xcelsius, if the error is coming in PPT or PDF standalone then there is some issue with the connection used in xcelsius, just let me know the answer of all the above questions.

Interactive pdf with movies/swf files doesn't work in up-to-date Acrobat Reader

Hi, I've a CS6 InDesign doc with movies (MP4's from a URL) and a few swf files. When exporting as an interactive pdf, all the links, movies, swf's work fine in my Acrobat Pro. They work fine on other peoples PC's with Acrobat Pro. But on all my clients PC's with up to date Reader, the movies are playing slow, and the pdf just doesn't work as expected. With links to next page etc not working either. They have up dated their Flash Player too. Still not working well.
Is there a magic fix? Can I re-save this pdf differently so they can experience all the interactive features properly?
I created a similar pdf last year from CS5, but adding in the movies & links on the pdf. Do I have to do this again?
Yours, mostly quite fed uply, Gina !

Is it possible that your client's PC is just a very slow machine? You might consider cutting out some of the interactivity if your PDF is to complex to be handled by less powerful machines.

Full screen with swapping swf file

I am creating a projector presentation in which a swf file is
being loaded (loadmovie) and replacing the currently running one.
And I have the movie set to be full screen mode (both movies are
set to that using the fscommand). The problem I'm having is that
once the new movie is loaded, it goes from being full screen (movie
is not being scaled, so there's black behind it) to jumping into
the left hand corner of the monitor at the movie's size. It still
kinda acts like it's full-screen, there's no menu items and no
window frame.
Any idea what's going on here, and better yet, how I can fix
it?
thanks for your help.

Don't load external files into _level0 or _root.
Replacing the main swf with another is not a good practice.
There are a few other examples of problems caused by this.
AFAIK this only happens on the Mac platform. Is that what you
are using? Also I don't think there is any other solution. If
anybody knows anythings else, please let us know.

[Need help with a swf file]

Hello,
I need help with a flash demo that I am creating. I have a
main swf file that contains links to other sub swfs that I have
created. What I really want this to do is... when I click on one of
the link on the browser, the other swf have to load in the window.
I tried to code it with .loadMovie,.... but for some weird reason,
it is not showing up.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

you might have a security violation and you do have a
load-target issue. remove that "_parent": there's no 2nd parameter
in the loadMovie() method.
if you want to replace the main swf with that url, loading
into _root is fine. otherwise, you want to use a different
target.

Need help with combining swf files together

Hi Everyone
I have problem with my project.
I created several SWF files, now i want them to interact with each other
So there is main SWF file lets call it:
main.swf
then within that file(main.swf) i would like to create buttons which will be calling other swf files for instance by pressing one button one.swf will be open by pressing other button two.swf will be open and so on.
Then I would like to create buttons within one.swf and two.swf which will allowed to go back to main.swf
If someone could help me how to do it I will be grateful.
AS2.0 i am working with
many thanks

thanks for quick respond
So the first of all my main.swf would load, within it i would have a button. If i click on button will take me to frame 40 ( just example ) where i will have this.loadMovie("first.swf"), when this file will be loaded i want to have other button with in the first.swf which will take me back to main.swf and now you are suggesting to use this.removeMovie("first.swf")?
I am not sure if i got you answer right
Thanks again for help i am quite new to ActionScript as you can tell.

Probs with imported swf file

Hi
I have imported a swf file which is displayed correctly
within the import dialog. After clicking OK only the placeholder of
the imported animation is seen. When running the captivate movie
the swf is not diplayed. When setting the swf to synchronize to
movie all frames of the swf are displayed but don't stop where they
are supposed to do. Unfortunately this swf file was exported from
the authoring system opus xe so I don't have a chance to edit it in
flash itself.
Maybe someone knows a solution for this prob?
T.

It sounds like the swf file may not be 30 frames per second.
I'm using v1.01 and I've had a lot of problems with swf files
loading consistently. A few times when I positioned the swf file at
the very beginning of the Captivate timeline it wouldn't load.
Moving it a half second up on the timeline fixed the
problem.

Connect Sync not working with Captivate SWF files

HI
I'm creating material for presentations and discussion in Captivate 8 and using Connect 9.3.
The Sync button in Connect doesn't turn on or off the sync view for all participants for a presentation sharing the Captivate SWF file....
Any ideas on how to get the sync feature working?
PS: I'm using Captivate to create the slides and publish to SWF in order to preserve the fonts for the brand. Uploading Powerpoint changes the fonts to system defaults (looks very bad) and PDF, provides a clunky or abrupt slide transitions (using captivate fade transitions). Would prefer a better solution to maintain fonts and transitions though.
Cheers,
Fred

Going to give a try...
I did try saving each slide as an image from ppt, then created a new slide deck with one image per slide - added transitions and uploaded to Connect. That seemed to work.... yet, really would like to sort out Captivate as I plan on adding quizzes and other items best done with Captivate.
Cheers,
Fred

AS 3 with old SWF files

My website has several SWF files running with AS2. I am now considering switching my new files to AS3. My main swf as2 file loads other as2 swf files using load() and places them at different levels.
Can this main file load as3 swf files?
If I change my main file to as3, would it then be able to load as2 swf files?
The files need to communicate with each other eg disable buttons on lower level swf files.

as3 swfs can load as2 swfs. as2 swfs cannot load as3 swfs.
so, your main swf will be an as3 swf even if that has to be a "dummy" swf that serves no other purpose than allowing you to load both as2 and as3 swfs.

Problem with import SWF file

I am trying to import a SWF file that i have exported from indesign CS5, as i want to create a pdf that has interactive page curl and page turn.
But whenever i reimport the file it is really low resolution.

I agree with Steve, you really should think is it absolutely necessery to try to place your SWF into PDF... you probably will face some problems if you do that.
If you really must, you have to understand some basic rules about working with palced SWF (and videos too) in InDesign.
The pixelated image you see above is not actual SWF. It´s an element called poster. When you place a SWF or video to your layout in InDesign, you may choose a poster for it. It´s kind of placeholder for actual SWF or video and will be shown when actual content is not playing. InDesign uses poster also as an appearance for your SWF/video file while you are working with your layout. InDesign can´t show actual SWF/video content in working area.
You have few options how to define your poster. The most popular one is to grab it from SWF or video file. You can choose any frame to be used as a poster. Except that poster is not that frame itself, it´s a "screenshot" of that frame. Which means of course a risk that it may be pixelated at some point. Resolution you will define in Export SWF window´s Advanced tab effects to posters too. So be careful with lower resolutions if you want to avoid pixelation.
Another, and IMO more professional method is to use good quality image as a poster. You can prepare your poster image in any regular image editing software.

What file do I need to associate with a .swf file?

I used to execute .swf on my computer in the past. Now it does not work. I tried to troubleshoot what file that was associated with and found Adobe Acrobat (that I have not changed since the last time I used it). So I associated it with Flash Pro 6 and that did not work. I associated it with the Adobe Media Player and that was not what I wanted. I have installed the Flash Player (at least four times) from www.adobe.com. I read the different forum questions and found to locate the C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash, so I did that and found all it located was the installation .exe file. Of course that did not work. The .swf file and its associated files are located in C:/Flash/bubbles folder and was published with the ./bubbles setting.
I have:
MS Windows7
Flash Pro CS6
So how do I execute a .swf created from Flash Pro CS6 without having to open Flash Pro CS6, like a user would experience?

There is no such name as flashplayer_11_sa.exe when I searched on the computer. The file that downloads does go to the "Download" folder, but it is the installer for the Flash player. So after I double click on this file to let it update my computer with the newest and greatest version, I associate that file with the .SWF extension and it does not execute when I double click on the .SWF file.
So I give up. Guess that is why you have Flash Pro to run others/my .SWF files.
