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.

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,

Need your Help with Swapping SWF File Problem

Hello,
I have two separate Flash SWF files which I would like upload
into the same HTML file. But I would like to load only one of them
at the time and would like to have a Button on each SWF Flash file
which causes the other SWF to be loaded.
hmmm.. I am not sure if I managed to make sense. :o) Let me
try it one more time. :o) I would like to swap one SWF file for
another SWF file by clicking on the buttons which are placed on the
SWF files! :o)
I was wondering if that is possible or I should think of
another way to get around this problem of mine.
Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.

I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6.

I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III camera. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6. Is there an Camera RAW upgrade or an alternative program that works here?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

As Kirk says, if you have your camera, you can attach it directly.
Further, if you preserved the entire file structure of your camera (not just the .mts files, but also the folders on the camera), then you can import from that via FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE.
When you import from a camera, it is recommended that you keep a camera archive so you always have the originals available.
If you have the .mts files out of context, you will need a third party app to convert. Two that I know of are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. You should convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec. And then use FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE.

4-6 pin cable for a Mac enabled firewire 400.
4-9 pin cable for a Mac using firewire 800
And 4-9 pin cable using a firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter for thunderbolt only Mac.
You may find capturing live footage to be a problem unless you use an A/D Converter or camera using free run timecode.

Well, Ive got 6 Macs, Ive got the firewire, I just wanted to jack into the 'older' 2013 Macbook Pro via firewire.
Capture HOW, what APP, auto recognition?
Any easy lazy wares you recommend for quick looks and capture?
i dont wanna capture LIVE , just recorded being played off the tape thru Firewire to the macbook.
Users who post here usually have FCP X on their system.
However, QuickTime 7 or X will capture as does the Image Capture app.
Any of the Final Cut apps work as does iMovie.

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.

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

Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type when loading any SWF file

Hi all,
We are using IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 along with Apache web-server for hosting our Flash RIA application.
Our Flash RIA application used to be single monolitic SWF file and it worked OK for us.
But now there is a new need to load dynamically external SWF files into our main SWF file, but every time we try to load SWF file on this configuration IOErrorEvent is thrown with error text "Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type"
Simplest MXML application fails to load SWF file with this error, although external images are loading fine.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

We already tried to specify the MIME type for file extension ".swf" at IBM WebSphere 6.1 admin console, tried 2 values "application/x-shockwave-flash" and "application/swf" - did not solve the problem.

Hi JabbyPandaUA
I had the same problem and I could fix it by adding the following tags to my web.xml:
<mime-mapping>
            <extension>swf</extension>
            <mime-type>application/x-shockwave-flash</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
try it and tell me, good luck!

[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.

What´s the best approach to work with Excel, csv files

Hi gurus. I got a question for you. According to your experience what's the best approach to work with Excel or csv files that have to be uploaded through DataServices to you datawarehouse.
Let's say your end-user, who is not a programmer, creates a group of 4 excel files with different calculations in a monthly basis, so they can generate a set of reports from their datawarehouse once the files have been uploaded to tables in your DWH. The calculations vary from month to month. The user doesn't have a front-end to upload the excel files directly to Data Services. The end user needs to keep a track of which person uploaded the files for a determined month.
1. The end user should place their 4 excel files in a shared directory that will be seen by DataServices.
2. DataServices will execute certain scheduled job that will read the four files and upload them to the Datawarehouse at a determined time, lets say at 9:00pm.
It makes me wonder... what happens if the user needs to present their reports immediately so they can´t wait until 9:00pm. Is it possible for the end user to execute some kind of action (out of the DataServices Environment) so DataServices "could know" that it has to process those files right now, instead of waiting for the night schedule?
Is there a way that DS will track who was the person who uploaded those files?
Would it be better to build a front-end for the end user so they can upload their four files directlyto the datawarehouse?
Waiting for your comments to resolve this dilemma
Best Regards
Erika

Hi,
There are functions in DS that captures the input files automatically. You could use file_exists() or wait_for_file() option to do that. Schedule the job to run every certain minute and if the file exists then run. This could be done by using a certain file name with date and timestamp etc or after running move the old files to archive and DS wait for new files to show up.

HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

What software do i need to install in order to be able
to play movies in .avi format.
have connected an external memory and all the entertainment
files are in .avi format.
Ansver i get : does not support

VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

Need urgent help with creating .war file ...

My boss gave me one day to create an app. that runs on Apache Tomcat 4.0.6. I managed to get it done, but now I'm trying to move it from my machine to the web server. Each time I try to create a .war file I get an error saying "no such file or directory". Am I missing a step here??
What I do is: go to the webapps/<appname> directory where the app. is located, type in jar cvf * path/to/application/appname.war.
I then get the "no such file..." message, then a message that says "added manifest" then lines on the screen that say adding: blah blah file. It goes through all the files in my app directory but I get no resulting .war file.
I'm so frustrated and confused at this point, any help would be greatly appreciated.

>
What I do is: go to the webapps/<appname> directory
where the app. is located, type in jar cvf *
path/to/application/appname.war. No need to create an intermediate zip file, or to use JDeveloper to create a simple war file.
You just need to put the WAR name before the list of files.
jar cvf appName.war *
