White box of death! Trouble embedding swf into Dreamweaver!

So close to being finished! I notice this question on alot of other forums but its never resolved!
here is the site now:
http://http://www.andrewweeksphotogr...m/index_8.html
you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.
here is the code from dreamweaver (you'll notice im sticking in color values wherever i can!)
help a gal out! many thanks!

  • Embedding Swf into to forum signature

    Hi, i have been trying to find this everywhere but no good.

    No. I mean that the Flex framework makes certain assumptions about the environment it is running in -- like having a stage to work with. The Alert function, for example, works by creating a sprite and adding it to the Flash display list. Since your embedded SWF is not on a stage, there's no way for it to work.
    You can can possibly use certain non-visual parts of the framework, such as the rpc package, but I can't guarantee it.

  • Embedding swf into HTML+JS AIR app

    Hi
    I'm trying to embed swf into HTML+JS AIR app with no luck.
    First, I created flash library with this class in default package.
    package
         import mx.controls.Alert;
         public class Utilities
              public function Utilities()
                             //asdfasdf              
                   Alert.show("asdasd","");
    Then I compiled the project with Flash Builder and got library.swc as result. Then I extracted swf file.
    After this is added required code into my html:
    <html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRAliases.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRIntrospector.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
        <script src="library.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function () {
                alert('loaded');
                air.Introspector.logError("aaa");
                var v = new runtime.Utilities();
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    Then after I run application, I get error that result of expression is not constructor, function etc.
    Could you help me please?  Thanks in advance.

  • Can someone help with insertion of Flash actionscript 3.0 swf into Dreamweaver spry widget panel?

    Working on a thesis project due soon... Created flash actionscript 3.0  swf for home page, text plus image, previews beautifully in Flash  Publish, stored in my root folder, previews great when I open it in the  root folder, dragged and dropped it into my dreamweaver code page,  within a spry widget framework, size is perfect. and upon view in design  or browsers or browser lab, I just get a nice empty white box.  In  design view, I see the F symbol and when I click play in properties, I  get a message that says "Unable to find the plug in that handles this  media type.  Dreamweaver looks in both the "config/Plugins folder and  the plug in folder for each o your installed browsers".  I have Flash  Professional CS 5.  Reinstalled it just in case that was the issue with  the plug in and didn't resolve the problem.  Dreamweaver version is  CS5.  Using a template with spry widget panels. Before I inserted the  swf, the preview in browsers and browser lab was fine on the spry widget  and background.  PC is windows, 32 bit, with ms office suite 2010  upgrade on it.  Appreciate any advice.

    my first trace on the hz position and vt position outputs but the trace for "scroll positions" and "new scroll positions" is not outputting.
    i recieve this output when i click the 'next' and 'back' buttons within the menu9.SWF.
    [Event type="iwannaresetscrolling" bubbles=true cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
    does this seem right?
    import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
    aSp.setSize(600, 350);
    function scrollListener(event:ScrollEvent):void {
    trace("horizontalScPosition: " + aSp.horizontalScrollPosition +
           ", verticalScrollPosition = " + aSp.verticalScrollPosition);
    aSp.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, scrollListener);
    function completeListener(event:Event):void {
    trace(event.target.source + " has completed loading.");
    // Add listener.

  • Embedding SWF into Powerpoint 2007....

    I use this method to place a SWF in Powerpoint 2007. (see below).
    My question is... how do I make the path relative and not absolute? So whatever path/destination I put in the "Movie" property is absolute and if and when I sent this PPTX file to someone (like in a folder) the SWF no longer plays. I wanted to make a path that is relative... so instead of putting "C:\Use\Profile\Desktop\Flash.swf" I wanted to know if I could do something like "Flash.swf" and then it'll play the SWF since it'd be in the root (or maybe a subfolder).
    Place SWF in Powerpoint 2007:
    1.  Click Office Button.
    2.  Click “Powerpoint Options”
    3.  Under the “Popluar” tab check “Show Developer tab in the Ribbon”. Click OK
    4.  Click the “Developer” tab.
    5.  Click the “More Controls” button (wrench/hammer icon)
    6.  Choose “Shockwave Flash Object”. Click OK.
    7.  Cursor turns to crosshairs. Drag box to house the object.
    8.  In the “Properties” pop-up, find “Movie”.
    9.  Under “Movie”. Paste in the path of the file. (i.e. C:\Users\Profile\Desktop\flashAnimation.swf
    a.  Try to put the SWF in the same root location as the PPTX.

    You can insert a .swf file into PowerPoint using the method you described with both an absolute and a relative path. But that will just insert it and play it as a linked file.
    What you seem to want to do is to embed the file. That's tricker. The .pptx file extension apparently has a known and unfixed bug that won't let you embed a .swf. There's nothing out there, that I could find that may be of help. But you could try these two steps:
    In the properties panel for the insered swf, find the EmbedMovie property and set it to "True".
    Then Save As... your Presentation to the older file format (.ppt not .pptx). This may show up in the Save menu as "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation".
    This may work, you should take note that the file size should increase significantly. If the Presentation's file size doesn't increase, then you know it hasn't been embedded and the animation will not play if you email the file (because it's not included).

  • Embedding swf into Flex Desktop Application size/scale problem.

    Hello,
    I am embedding an swf animation into my desktop Flex desktop application. I am using SDK 4.6.0. I use the SWFLoader to embed the animation:
    <s:SWFLoader source="img/mch_anim_1.swf"/>
    When I run the application, the animation is loaded and is working, but when I try to maximize the window there is a size/scale bug that happens. The screen  stays half-side maximized (maximized to the top, bottom and stays until the middle of the screen by side).
    I've published the SWF for Flash Player 8 and Actionscript 2 just to test and there was no problem with the size/scale, but I need to use Actionscript 3.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    I found the problem!
    There was a line of code that was auto-generated from using a template out of Flash CS6. The line of code that caused it is:
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
    After deleting it, everything is now working properly.
    Greetings!

  • Problems with embedding swfs into Director 11.5

    Hello everyone,
    I am hoping someone can help me and please bear with me - I don't know a lot about director - I can do some Lingo and get around in the program to make things work.
    Right now I am working on an interactive presentation where the user can click a button to view an animation. I am using Director 11.5 for my presentation and have made my animations in After Effects CS3 -- from there I converted my .mov files to .flv files using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4... then I took my .flv file into Flash and published it as a swf file.
    The problem that I am having is that when I play the presentation (within Director and after publishing the .app/projector file) the swf files are playing - but there is all this glitchy-artifact stuff all over them. Does anyone know why this would be happening? When I play the swf files in the flash player they look great. Before, when I was using Flash MX and Director MX, I never had any problems with embedding my swf animation files - and they played great - without any artifact. Any and all help would be much appreciated as this project is due in the next few days and I would prefer to figure out a solution rather than uninstalling Flash CS4 and Director 11.5 - and going back to MX.
    I toyed with the thought that my video card isn't good enough but I tested the .app file on another machine and the glitchy-artifacts were still there. I have attached a jpg showing the artifact that appears.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.5.7
    Dual 2 GHz G5 PowerPC
    ATI Radeon X800 XT
    Thank you!

    Sorry... here is the image again and I think the problem might be my machine -- it is very old (~4+ years) and when I tested my .app on a newer intel mac here it worked fine... but maybe I am missing something -- it seems odd that I can see the swf fine in flash player but it is glitchy when played through director or the .app projector file

  • Embedding SWF into HTML

    Hi. I am trying to make a SWF open a new browser window when
    it is clicked, acting as a Splash page that opens the main page. I
    want the main page to open in a new window 800 x 600 with none of
    the address bar, toolbars etc. I've managed this but there are
    three problems:
    1. The little grey strip at the bottom that says "Done",
    "Internet" etc, I think its called 'Status' still appears even
    though I've set status to no.
    2. The code I've used in flash to spawn the new browser
    window works with Firefox but not with Internet Explorer.
    3. The SWF's play slower in a browser.
    I have included the code I've used below. Can anybody help?

    Hello Claudine,

  • Swf into dreamweaver cs4

    I've created an SWF in flash cs4 and want to open it in a dreamweaver template, then test it out to see how it 'would look if I were to upload the site. I understand the live view is the way to check this but for some reason I'm able to see the swf within a dreamweaver template. I've confirmed that the swf is functional by testing it in flash. What's the simplest path to testing an swf in dw? Thank you.

    May not understand you question, but why nor either preview in browser or upload files to your server?

  • The embeded swf doesn't play...

    Hi
    I'm trying to embed a swf that was created with a flash gallery making program into a pdf file but it just never works properly. I've also tried converting it into pdf but that doesn't work either. Once I convert it/embed it all I see is a white/black square. However if I embed other smaller swfs most of them just work fine. Could the problem be that the swf is too large? Can anybody please figure out the problem? I've been trying everything for the past 3 days and I'm awfully desperate Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

    Acrobat and OS make no difference, but the version of Flash Player that the gallery targets will make a difference - Acrobat and Adobe Reader currently won't play content designed for Flash Player 11.
    The other problem can arise when the gallery is using external assets (image files, XML configuration files, etc.) as these must be available after embedding. You should attach them using the Resources tab on the Rich Media Annotation dialog box (right-click your embedded SWF in Acrobat and choose Properties), but if the gallery is written to expect certain folder structures it may not like being sandboxed inside a PDF file.

  • Down-level Poster.png just a white box on IE8

    Hi everyone,
    I've created a very simple Edge Animate banner consisting of a background image and two layers of text that fade in, it shows up perfectly in everything except for (understandably) IE8 and I assume IE7, all I see is a white box.
    I inserted the animation via Dreamweaver using Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition, it went into a "mainbanner" div with CSS:
    #mainbanner {
              clear:both;
              width: 1000px;
              margin: 0 auto;
              border: 0;
              padding: 10px;
    These code lines have been inserted into the <head> section of the Dreamweaver template and subsequent index.php page:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    This code was applied to the "mainbanner" div by Dreamweaver after doing Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition:
    <!-- The following tag displays an Edge Animate Composition -->
    <object id="EdgeID" name="EdgeID" type="text/html" width = "1020" height ="437" data ="../edgeanimate_assets/jb_mainbanner/Assets/jb_mainbanner.html" >
    </object></div>
    Don't know why the animation that has 1000px width has a width of 1020px shown in code when imported yet shows correctly as 1000px in the browser but hey!
    I've checked that the down-level poster (Poster.png) I created has been linked to the animation; has been uploaded to the web server; is showing the appropriate static version of the animation but after one whole night of trying everything I can think of all I still get on IE8 is a white box!
    Can someone please give me some help with this, many thanks in advance.
    Chris

    I've just made the Poster.png appear on IE8 by extending the CSS #mainbanner width to 1020px (despite the image being 1000px) and removing the padding temporarily. However two issues still remain:
    The image is now not aligned with the header and footer so I need to insert padding again plus there is a still a white box behind the .png that I simply don't want!
    At least I have made some progress since waking up this morning with a fresh head!
    How can I remove the white box that looks like a placeholder behind the static png on IE8?

  • Once I add my .swf to Dreamweaver, the buttons are not clickable, how can I fix this?

    Hello there,
    I'd just like to start out by saying that this is the first time I have posted on these forums, so if I have done anything wrong, I apologize!
    Anyway, about my question, just like the title says, once I import the .swf into Dreamweaver the buttons are not clickable, however when tested outside of Dreamweaver, they work correctly.
    Basically I have an animated banner with some audio and two buttons, the buttons mute and unmute the music.
    The file consists of two layers, one of which has 2 keyframes, the first keyframe has the Audio with the settings; "Effect: None. Sync: Start, Loop" and a button leading to the next frame.
    The next keyframe (still on layer one) has much of the same but the Audio settings are different; "Effect: None. Sync: Stop, repeat x 1" and this will stop the music.
    Now on the other layer (Rocket) I have a movie clip of a space-themed background and a rocket flying across it, the movie clip is made up of a motion tween and another movie clip which is the rocket.
    I am using Flash CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 on a Windows 7 computer. I am also using Actionscript 2.0
    I apologize for the amount of information and I'm not very briliant at explaining things, so here are some images of the flash file, hopefully they'll help;
    Layer setup - http://i.imgur.com/iZHwfAw.jpg
    The movie clip - http://i.imgur.com/ayvPJUZ.jpg
    Keyframe one sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/LWbnQhO.jpg
    Keyframe two sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/7kS9dO2.jpg
    Actionscript for the first button/first keyframe - http://i.imgur.com/x6ROqPv.jpg   - (The second button/keyframe has the same code, but obviously the instance name and frame number has been changed)
    Again, I apologise if this all seems confusing!
    Thanks in advance for any answers to this question
    Adam.

    If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting.  If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output.  That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file.  Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly.  IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
    Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

  • Help please copying, importing files into Dreamweaver

    Hello,
    I am having trouble imporitng files into dreamweaver from Godady. What is my best route.
    I downloaded Filezilla and connect my ISP, Hosting and passwords and successfuly my files loaded to filezilla.
    I am perplexed at the next step as to how to get my files from FileZilla to Dreamweaver.
    I am connected with the hosting, isp and file server as it shows in the box on the right.
    I simply at the end of the day just want to make a few edits to content.

    You can create a site in DW and download all the files using the "Get" action...
    In DW go to Site > New Site
    Give it a name (and an http address if you want)
    When it asks "Where on your computer do you want to store your files? you can use the default folder it creates, or browse to a specific place
    Next enter in all of your FTP info (like Filezilla)
    Once you're finished, you should be presented with a FILES tab that shows your new empty folder.
    Click the little extension cord plug-in icon on the left of that palette. This will connect to your site. Once connected, you can click the "Get" button, it's the down arrow in the same pallette.
    This will download your entire site to your desktop as it currently exists. From here on out, you just modify your local file, then connect and "Put" the changed files.
