Working with .swf files in Adobe Connect

My goal is to load custom made flash (.swf) presentations into Adobe Connect and present them to an audience (not using presenter)- however I am encountering the following issues:
1. The sound within the .swfs will not play (sounds works fine everywhere else, and was tested via the Audio setup wizard).
2. Many of the features within the loaded .swf do not work - sometimes causing runtime errors - does certain as3 code not work in the Adobe Connect environment?
3. "Synchronized Navigation" in the Shared Pod option menu is grayed out - I can not synchronize flash content? How can I control the presentation?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer.

Connect is an AS2 applicaton, and therefore, AS3 SWFs will not work (or not work properly).
If you want to correctly build an application to work in a Connect pod you need to follow the rules in the Collaboration builder, SDK documentation. This has not changed since Connect 6, thus the older version refference.

Adobe presenter - work with swf file

I have a floder called Alpha. In Alpha folder I have Flash folder where my "fla" and "swf" are placed. I have subfolder called "uploaded" in Flsh where I place all my XML files. I call all my text in fla from xml files which are in "uploaded" folder.
In Adobe Presenter, I inserted, swf file which was in "Flash" folder but unable to see any text or animation. please suggest.

I would probably assume that.
I would reccomend a presenter with a "joystick" type control.
The trackball type are a pain, and usually get gummed up like the
old ps2 mice.
When I was in the navy, we had something similar to this for
ward room briefs:

.SWF files in Adobe Connect Training

Hello,
I’ve successfully created a Captivate project but when
I add it to Adobe Connect Training I can only get the .swf to play
if I don’t include the skin options (playbar). With the
playbar all the loads in Adobe Connect is the playbar and no movie.
Am I doing something wrong when publishing the original Captivate
Project?
Thanks.

Hey Awk76
Interesting one. Captivate is supposed to work with Connect
really seamlessly. The problem comes from there now being 2 files
(the skin...) instead of one.
Good news is you can fix it. First of all, go into your
Captivate and from the project menu, select skin (bottom one). In
there, select the Borders (2nd tab) and untick Show Borders. Take a
note of the Width field here. We'll use it later. But Andy I hear
you cry - the playbar is now inside my movie covering up content.
Don't panic. Press OK to the Skins dialog and go back to the
Project Menu, and this time click Resize Project. What you're going
to do is add a few pixels to the bottom of the project for the
playbar to sit in. Make sure you
untick Maintain aspect ratio (and save your project first)
and then amend the height by the whatever was in the Width field in
the Borders tab (see earlier)
Ok - so now you've got the new height. In the "If new size it
larger" section of the Resize project screen (which it should be)
click the "Keep project the same size and fill background with
colour" radio. You set the background colour to one of your choice
and set the Project Postion to Top Center. Press Finish and
Captivate will grind about a bit before returning you to the main
screen.
You'll notice that each slide now has a little bit more added
to the bottom. The playbar will sit in this but Captivate will only
produce 1 file, rather than 2. Perfect for Connect.
P.S. it's a good idea to make sure you've done all your
recording before you do this - this should be the last phase before
publishing.
P.P.S Apologies that this is a bit long...

Working with SWF files...

We're working on an editor to post letter's to a blog, and we're trying to implement something that will automate the process of adding SWF's to the code. Basically what we're looking for is some way to read the width and the height of the swf while inserting it into the code. We have some Javascript that has been grabbing it, but it doesn't always grab the correct height and width.
function InsertFlash(sFlashFile,id)
var obj = document.getElementById(id);
var w = obj.getAttribute('width');
var iWidth=ReturnWidth(id);
var iHeight = ReturnHeight(id);
alert(iWidth + " " + iHeight);
function ReturnWidth(movie)
     var movieObj = getFlashObj(movie);
     return movieObj.TGetProperty("/", 8);
function ReturnHeight(movie)
     var movieObj = getFlashObj(movie);
     return movieObj.TGetProperty("/", 9);
function getFlashObj(movie)
     try
          if (window.document[movie])
               return window.document[movie];
          if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")==-1)
               if (document.embeds && document.embeds[movie])
                    return document.embeds[movie];
          else
                               return document.getElementById(movie);
     catch (e)
          //alert(e.description);
Something to note would be that our SWF's are built from flash files in which the programmer for flash has found canned content and then placed what we need inside of it. But we do have one video that has controls, and basically a screen at the beginning that you press in order for it to play. When it's at this screen, we have the normal dimensions of 400x550, but once you hit play and the movie with the movie controls show up, it varies around the 2200x356 mark, the latter generally staying the same, but the 2200 will bounce around 2000 and 2300 pixels (all in pixels), so that's where we're beginning to get clustermucked. There's a swf file (which holds the correct measurements) a flv file, and another swf file with the controls.
If anyone has run into this before or has a better solution, (using asp classic, no vb), that would be superb!! All we want is the silly dimensions... Hah!

Connect is an AS2 applicaton, and therefore, AS3 SWFs will not work (or not work properly).
If you want to correctly build an application to work in a Connect pod you need to follow the rules in the Collaboration builder, SDK documentation. This has not changed since Connect 6, thus the older version refference.

Working with Raw Files in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

I shoot in Raw format with a Canon EOS 60D, when I import raw files into Elements it first loads Adobe Camera Raw. After working on an image & then opening the file in Elements 11 ( Expert tab ) it offers a variety of options to enhance the image. It seems to be doubling up OR ... my question is , can I import the file directly into Elements 11 & work on it without using Adobe Camera Raw ?
Thank You
Phil
Classic Directories

Thank you for your reply, I use Adobe Camera Raw to edit most of my photos & then convert to tif. I bought a book called " The Photoshop Elements Book " with tutorials for Elements 11 wich seems to confuse. I have sucessfully imported raw files directly into Elements 11 & worked on them. By doubling up, I meant how much work should I do in Adobe Camera Raw, as it seems everything you need to edit/enhance/convert is in Elements 11.

Best way to work with FCP files and Adobe Premiere

Hi,
I have a bit of a technical problem. I'm editing a doco for broadcast on TV and have shot on HDV and downloaded onto our system as PAL, Apple Pro Res 422, 25 fps. oowever, Our graphics editor is on Adobe Premiere CS4.
What is the best way to get it onto her system and back off again and onto ours, with the mimimum or no loss of quality?
I've heard that an XML might work, but will it work on Adobe CS4? I don't know how this will pan out if it's XML. Will we be able to open it all back up in FCP when she hands it back. What sort of file do we get back from the Adobe Prem Pro Cs4 system?
I'm a bit nervous about it all.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Margie

This got me curious Eagleray as I do this all the time within my Mac FCS to CS all the time. But to a PC got me a googlin. Hope this discussion _http://www.animotion.nl/en/tutorials/fcp-xml-premiere-pro-cs5/_ helps as quite a few students seem to have Macs at school and PCs at home. Also do be aware of the different formatting of some PC drives like FAT16, FAT32, NTFS vs the Mac GUID. The Mac can read them all with the proper system addons/drivers, they show up in System Preferences Preference Panes under "OTHER". I use NTFS-3G to mount NTFS PC drives. I think it was free, if not there is another one I used to use that is free from some open source NTFS group. FAT has the size limit issue of I think 2 or 4gb (you can't copy anything bigger than that at one time to a Mac from a FAT drive). I'm on Snow Leopard on my 8core. My partner who edits in PP CS3 on a PC brought over his Maxtor USB the other day for me to copy some video files from and it's been having problems mounting, I believe since I upped to SL. I threw it on my 6 year old PowerBook G4 running 10.5.8 and it mounted right away. Just another weird gotcha. But take a quick look, tho the title says CS5 in it, a few students were using CS4 on a PC.

Problem when load more swf files work with xml files into my movie

hi ;
I have one flash file & more of swf files which work with xml files .

when test my flash file to load and remove swf files without xml file it work fine but when repleaced the swf files with other work with xml files the problem hapend.

YOu should trace the names of the files that are being targeted for loading to see if they agree with what you expect. If you want help with the coding you will need to show the code that is relevant to your problem (not all of it)

Import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Premiere Elements 12?

The Adobe Connect support staff recommended that we use Adobe Premiere Elements to edit the FLV file that we exported out of their software. We purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 12 based on that advice. Now we see that FLV files are not on the list of supported import files.
How can I import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for editing?

Welcome to the forum.
Over the years, I have used Moyea's Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, and it has worked perfectly. With about PrPro CS 4, IIRC, Adobe did add an FLV Importer, so Moyea began to suspend development of that plug-in. Then, with the release of the CC version of PrPro, they dropped FLV completely.
Now, Moyea does have other programs, but I do not know if any of them are plug-ins for PrE. However, many of their programs can create, edit and output FLV.
There is also a (free, if memory serves) FLV converter, FLV to AVI, which I used to convert FLV files, before I discovered the Moyea plug-in for my PrPro.
I would look into Moyea, to see if there is anything, that will work as a plug-in to PrE, http://www.video-to-flash.com/products/, and if not, explore a program, such as FLV to AVI: http://www.pazera-software.com/products/flv-to-avi-converter/
Good luck,

Has anyone not working with .dv files had synchronization problems?

Has anyone not working with .dv files had sound synchronization problems? I'm not exactly sure what the alternatives to DV are, but I think one of them is HD.
The reason for asking this question is to help isolate the nature and cause of a very serious flaw in iMovie '11. In the original release of iMovie '11 (version 9.0) there was a small--but serious--synchronization problem. In the 9.01 there is a large synchronization problem. We know of one person who has not experienced the problem, and he is not working with DV files (media). So we want to find out if anyone who is using something other than .dv files is experiencing a lack of synchronization between sound and picture. Knowing the answer to this will help with figuring out where the cause lies. For the initial iMovie '11 release (9.0), you probably would not notice a problem unless you had very long event-clips, e.g., two hours long. Events get this long if you are transferring from analog 8 mm tapes. Even then, it would have to be in scenes in which the connection between event and sound is obvious, e.g., close ups of people talking. It isn't until the 9.01 release that most people would notice anything. All we need to do is establish one case of a synchronization problem in which the person is using something other than DV.

Hopefully, the 9.0.2 release will make my question moot. Zyfert must have posted the announcement of the release just as I was formulating my question. Still, if you have information on the subject, it would be interesting to hear.

Working with RAW files in PSE9: Doable or better to use PSE12?

I have PSE 9 and will soon get a camera with RAW capability. I notice that Adobe no longer supports PSE 9. Am I in for trouble if I don't upgrade to PSE 12 since I don't know how to work with RAW files? It sounds as if I will need something to convert RAW files? Where do I get it? Is it a big deal for a beginner with no software skills?

You can download a free DNG Converter from Adobe and then convert your RAWs to DNGs which can be used in PSE9.
You don't need PSE12, but if you want to purchase PSE 12, you get the most current features in the Raw processor (which in my opinion is a huge improvement over what is available in PSE9), and you don't need the extra step of converting to DNG.

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed

How Can I Work With PHTML Files In Dreamweaver ??

I want to work with PHTML files in Dreamweaver CS3 - How do I
go about getting this to work?

The solutions is either of the following:
Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

Can you play/view swf files on adobe air for android?

Hi, yes; I'm new here, as well as to Adobe Air, and I'm still trying to learn the ropes around here, and I apologize in advance if this has already been asked, or I have placed this question in the wrong forum.
The thing is, I was wondering if it was possible to play my SWF files via adobe air for android; and if so, how? Thanks in advance either way.

Can you please give directions where can i clear that cash.
Anyway i don`t think its the case, because this is first time i hooked phone to internet, and first time i launched Android app store.
Edit:
I went to https://market.android.com and there is Adobe air app. But when i try to download it says that my device doesn't support it (Samsung Galaxy GT-I5500) By default it comes with android 2.1 and doesn't support Adobe air, but i upgraded firmware to 2.2.
Maybe that is the reason it doesn't show me Adobe AIR in app store - based on my phone, not my Android version ?

DW CS3 ImageViewer - problem with .swf file

I'm trying to make a slide show in Dreamweaver for the first time. I've searched and found a lot of common problems people have - forgetting to upload the .js file, not including the .swf file, etc.
I think I've done everything right (obviously I'm wrong though), it previews in DW, it works when I preview it in a browser, but when it's uploaded, nothing.
But I think I've found where the problem is. The .swf file that was created doesn't seem to be the right file. When I open it, it shows a blank flash slideshow with three empty slides, just as the sample is when you first open the Imageviewer.
But then what is DW pulling the slideshow from that works in the preview?? How do I re-export the .swf file from DW?
Do my questions even make sense? Sorry, kinda new at all this.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, here is the blank page, but when I view source, the code is there.
http://www.americanindianreport.com/imageviewer.html
The .js file is in the Scripts folder, the .swf is in the same folder. Actually, here you can see why it doesn't work. This is the .swf file, three blank pages:
http://www.americanindianreport.com/imageviewerflash.swf

If you look at my last post, the js file has been overwritten with html code, and this is what will be causing the problem.
The only solution is to delete this file insert a new flash object (any swf file will do for this), then copy the new js file to your server, as your flash will not work with this file.
here is a short example of the js files content (not javascript), -
