Where is the StrobeMediaPlayback.swf file in the zip?

Hi, I just download the osmf 2.0 zip on sourceforge.
In the folder OSMF/player/StrobeMediaPlayback/html-template/ there is no StrobeMediaPlayback.swf.
Somebody can explain me what's wrong?

The iPhoto cache file is located in your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. Also there is an iPod Photo Cache folder inside the iPhoto Library package that might affect your syncing. You can try clearing out both of those two folders and see if there's any improvement.

CS4 exporting to IDML, where's the ZIP?

I want to explore CS4's new InDesign Markup Language export and it's XML, but I do not see the ZIP file that is supposed to be created when I export my file. All I see is an IDML file that my XML editor does not like.
The documentation is weak. There is one link to an Adobe blog that calls it the best new feature in CS4, but I don't think it's working right. Is there anyone exporting to IDML and doing something with it?

Hi Bob,
I think using the Java tools are a bit beyond the average middle of the
road user as well. I think scripts like I put up here:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.59b71715/4 are much simpler to use.
It would have been really nice to have IDML packaging and unpackaging
scripts included with the sample scripts...

Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5

Hello,
I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5. I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window. I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created. I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
Thanks in advance
TK

Okay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally. If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink. It can be anything from InDesign: a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea. Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is.

Can I combine two methods of code to load various SWF files into the same location

I presently have a set up where a large SWF file brought on the stage by clicking small icons from the scrollable thumbnail menu on the bottom of the stage. All of it happens at the same frame with .xml loading file.
Here is the code for constructing the ImageLoader(for thumbnails) and SWFLoader for (bigger SWF files)
[CODE]
   function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   _slides = [];
   var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.
   var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have <image /> nodes with all the info we need.
   //loop through each <image /> node and create a Slide object for each.
   for each (var image:XML in imageList) {
    _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,
          image.@description,
          new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",
               name:image.@name + "Thumb",
               width:_THUMB_WIDTH,
               height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,
               //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
               //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69
               scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
               bgColor:0x000000,
               estimatedBytes:13000,
               onFail:_imageFailHandler}),
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
                name:image.@name + "Image",
                width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,
                height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,
                //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
                x:0, y:144,
                scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
                bgColor:0x000000,
                estimatedBytes:820000,
                onFail:_imageFailHandler})
[/CODE]
Here is what I would like to resolve. I have another section on the site with an image collage. Every image is a button. I want to script this each image on click to go to the label with ImageLoader and SWFLoader AND TO OPEN A UNIQUE SWF (ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMAGE CLICKED) ON THAT PAGE
Previously this is what I did to achieve it. I would specify a String:
[CODE]
var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
[/CODE]
and then all my buttons will have their unique SWF assigned for them which opens at another labeled section ("prdctsPopUps" in this example):
[CODE]
function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf";
gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
[/CODE]
Then in the "prdctsPopUps" section I would specify that var string to bring up SWF files. The value of sourceVar_ProductsPopUps allows to load mulitple SWFs from the previous page.
[CODE]
loaderProductPopUps = new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]
But I need both of them to be working at the same time. First there is a sectionA from where a user can navigate to specifically targeted SWF to section B's SWFLoader. Then in the section B a user has an option to bring up other SWF files into SWFLoader from the scrollable thumbs menu. Is there a way to combine these two lines into one:
[CODE]
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
[/CODE]
and
[CODE]
new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]

Thanks for looking into my issue.
Unfortunatelly I am not so advanced in AS and do not complitely understand the logic of the problem. I will try to decribe my set up more precise.
So, my main flash file is broken into labeled sections on the main time line.
One of the sections is "Applications" It has an animated collage of images. Each image acts as a button and once clicked brings a user to a section called "ApplicationsPopUps".
"ApplicationsPopUps" section has small image thumbnails scroll menu at the bottom of the screen and a large SWFLoader in the middle of the screen. User can click on an image in the thumbnails scroll menu and a corresponding SWF file will load in the middle of the screen in SWFLoader. User can click on left/right navigation buttons and preceeding/following SWF file will load in SWFLoader.
Everything works fine (with your previous help)
Here is the working code for the ImageLoader and SWFLoader (please let me know if you need additional code on the page):
function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {        _slides = [];       var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.        var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have nodes with all the info we need.        //loop through each node and create a Slide object for each.       for each (var image:XML in imageList) {         _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,               image.@description,               new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",               {                    name:image.@name + "Thumb",                    width:_THUMB_WIDTH,                    height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,                    //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                    //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69                   scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                    bgColor:0x000000,                    estimatedBytes:13000,                    onFail:_imageFailHandler}),                 new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",                   {                     name:image.@name + "Image",                     width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,                     height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,                     //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                   x:0, y:144,                     scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                     bgColor:0x000000,                     estimatedBytes:820000,                     onFail:_imageFailHandler})
Thumbnails in the section "ApplicationsPopUps" and images in the image collage in the section "Applications" represent the same photographs. So when a user clicks on one of the images in "Applications" section it would be natural that that image will load in the "ApplicationsPopUps" section. However "ApplicationsPopUps" section presently has a working code (as sampled above) It looks too complex for me and I do not know hot to implement this feature. I do want to keep the functionality of the thumbs image scroller in section "ApplicationsPopUps" as it is now. But I want to add that when a user click on an image from section"Applications" then that particular SWF file will load in SWFLoader in section "ApplicationsPopUps" and then the present functionality can as well be exectuted. Presently it just opens on a first image in xml order.
P.S. I see that you had a download link in your answer. How did you do it? I could also upload a small sample file with my problem. This way you could see all the set up right away.

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

Help needed in accessing the url from which a swf file has been loaded

Hi All,
Can anyone help me out in finding the url of the swf file
from which it has been loaded? The purpose of the url is, I am
loading some flv files using relative path. I just want to achieve
the same by appending the relative path to the parent swf url from
where the parent was loaded.
I am a newbie to AS3, So please don t mind if this is a silly
question.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think the option you gave is only
applicable when the AS3 class comes in the DisplayObject hierarchy.
I want this information in an AS3 class which does not extend any
of the Sprite or its super class hierarchy. Can you let me know the
possibility of fetching the value from such a class which i
specified???
Thanks,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.

How to make the stage transparent for SWF file being used in Dreamweaver

I have a SWF file in my Dreamweaver site, that plays correctly. The problem is that the stage is white and we would like it to be transparent. Searching the archives the following advice was given:
in your html embedding code you need to set the wmode parameter to be "transparent"
I'm wondering if this is the code in Dreamweaver or is this done in Flash. I'm working with CS5. Below is the code that matches the SWF file in Dreamweaver. I did change the wmode value from "opaque" to "transparent" and it didn't work.
Thanks for any assistance.

           </object>

Yes, change this to "transparent" in ALL the places where wmode is shown
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
Second, be sure that there is in fact nothing covering the entire stage, like a big white rectangle.
Also, what is directly behind the .swf once it's on the Web page? If the background color of that page or the <div> that the .swf is in is white..... well then then .swf can have a transparent background but then the white from the Web page just shows thru.... so there's still a white background.
Be sure there is a non-white background on the Web page...
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.

I can't get a SWF file that runs perfectly in browsers to run in the Business Catalyst environment

My website has 3 parts. The initial HTML page which upon opening plays a video. The link below gives you that.
http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com (It takes a few seconds to get going)
When the video ends a SWF file plays. The code below should show you what is supposed to happen.
http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com/SWFbutton.html
The difficulty is that the SWF file won't automatically play from the website within Business Catalyst. It all works perfectly when I run the webpage in different browsers through Dreamweaver. Also if I just double click the website file where it sits on my computer... the resident browser picks it up and all is well.
I've already exchanged quite a few e-mails with Business Catalyst support and InDesign support... (The SWF file was created using InDesign) ...but we don't seem to be getting anywhere. I can't think of anywhere else to go... so... here I am.
                                                                                                  Thanks,
                                                                                                   Michael McLaughlin

Hello Liam,
         Let me see if I'm understanding you. Are you are saying that it
takes a few seconds for the video to get going after the initial pages
comes up? Yes, I'm aware of that, but it's only a few seconds and then it
runs. Or are you saying that the SWF file takes time to get going? I've
opened the website http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com, let the video
run and simply waited, but nothing happens.
         However, I've noticed something curious. When I preview the Grid w
flip html in BC, everything runs its course as it should. When I run it
with http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com there's something of a
stall. The video has to end... the code to open the swift file is onended...
but the fade to black at the end of the video never quite happens. A faint
image which is not the last of the video can be seen on the screen. So...
it appears the video hasn't really ended... so the SWF file doesn't run.
          So... does BC impose some limit on the length of a video when
it's accessed through http://wrysmilebooks.businesscatalyst.com that it
doesn't when its run within BC?

.swf file won't play on any in house computer except the one it was rendered on

So, I work in a company that does some animation. I handle the website and uploading our stuff to it. The animator upstairs makes the stuff. He rendered out the file as a .swf, a html and a flv. He says he did it the same as he always does it, which is fairly often and he is definitely competent. The file plays in the browser on his computer (a mac).
He transfered the file to several of us to test where the problem is. On mine (mac), two coworkers (also macs), and a pc the files do nothing when opened in a browser, blank white screen. The icons for the files are also just a blank page. We can all play the other .swf files from the website, both on the site and downloaded to our comps.
Flash player has been updated on them all. He has re-rendered them with different file names. We are transferring them over our network.
We need to get this animation on the web and I have no idea whats up with these files. Anyone got any ideas?

upload the embedding html and the swf and loaded files to a server and post the url.

Opening SWF Files in the Application window

Hello Everyone,
We have a problem in opening .swf files in our application.
We had quick time movies(.mov) which we used to open and
play inside the application window, using QuickTime Framework APIs
in the code.
Presently we had converted these quicktime movies(.mov) into
.swf files and we are unable to open the same using Quick Time
Framework in MacOSX.
Can you please suggest me as how should I proceed, i.e which
framework should I use in the code to open and play .swf files in
the application window?
It will be better, if you can send me a small sample code to
use in my application for MacOSX.
Awaiting for your kind reply,
Thanking you,
With Best regards,
Anil.

Unable to get the same font in swf file

Hi,
I've created some swf files in which text was written using one particular font. When I run these swf files in other computers which don't have this font, The text gets displayed in different font.
How to get the same font in other computers also without installing the font.
I tried embedding font in fla file. But I commit mistake at somewhere. Could anyone help me to figure it out ?
Thanks !

Hi,
Thanks for your assistance.
I apologize for not explaining it properly. As you had suggested I just created one new file in which I kept only one text field. No actionscript or anything. The text will be displayed on the stage for 2 secs.
As it is static I don't need to embed the text. So I didn't. Checked the swf file in different computers but no desired display. I then embedded the font. No desired display again in different computers. I then changed it from static to dynamic text, It is not necessary though. Still no desired display. I then tried with different font. But same thing happens.
How did I embed the font ?
Text --> Font Embedding --> Choosing correct font family and style --> Choosing character ranges as uppercase, lowercase, numbers, punctuation. Then clicked on + sign available at right top corner of the left area in which all embedded fonts are displayed. Click OK. Checked in Library and those fonts are available.
I even didn't do anything with actionscript tab as I don't have any actionscript at all for this file.
2 fonts I used:
Font Family: Cooper Std
Style: Black
Font Family: DigifaceWide
Style: Regular
I don't really know Where I commit mistake. Please advice me.
Awaiting your precious reply.

Swf files that scale with the browser

I uploaded a swf file with dreamweaver as a stand alone window and it works fine. How do I get the swf file to scale larger or smaller as the user adjusts their browser window larger and smaller? I would like to get the swf file to scale along with the browser window. I posted this in dreamweaver but was told this is an action script issue.

I found a simple solution, and I believe it is what you are looking for.
1. In Flash, go to File>Publish Settings
2. Click on the HTML Tab
3. Where is says Dimensions, select Percent
4. Though it is probably default, make sure the width and height are both set to 100.
5. Click ok then go to File>Publish
Now your movie should scale with the browser window.
If you do not have Flash, then you can simple work with this sample code below:
<object width="100%" height="100%" id="xyz" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
    <param name="movie" value="xyz.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <embed src="xyz.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="100%" height="100%" name="xyz"
    align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
Notice how width and height are set to "100%"? That's all you need.

Where is the ID of a swf published in Flash?

Seeing as there is no javascript forum on dreamweaver, I figured someone must know these basics. I published a swf file into an html file, and I'm trying to use javascript to send a function to the swf file, but I don't know where the ID of the swf file is so I can work with it.
Or, how/where do i define it's ID?

The id used by javascript is an attribute of the object tag that contains the .swf file. So you just need to add it. For example:
<object id="myFlash" ... >

Why doesnt my swf file play on the server?

why doesnt my swf file play on the server? but it plays on my computer.
what do i need to do to make it work?

It easier to see why the file might not be playing on the server if you provide a link to the file on the server. That allows for checking if files are where they should be.
In your case you may want to do some repairs on the html file that you linked. It appears as though the tags are out of whack and possibly the embedding is as well. What you should do is let Flash generate the html page when you publish the swf. You are normally going to get the best results letting Flash create the embedding code.

Where are the playbar files Captivate 6 on Mac?

I want to change the playbar control images so they are larger when played on an iPad. I can't seem to find where the files are, and any clear instructions how to change them. I have Captivate 6 on a Mac. Any pointers about how to modify the playbar to work well in html5 / iPad would be great.
thanks

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Playbar is a Skin (.swf file), you can choose different Skin (Project -> Skin Editor) but if you want to have bigger control images, then as per my knowledge you need to create your own customized Skin and use in Adobe Captivate 6.
Thanks,
Vikram
