Problems Viewing A Flash Movie With Netscape
Hello,

I am having a problem. My flash movie is being displayed well when I use Internet Explorer, but when I use netscape I cannot see nothing.

I don't have any clue of what is the problem, I will really apreciate if someone can give me some clues on what to check.

Thank you very much!

Viewing In Netscape
First post to this forum... Hi everybody... !

I've got a Flash movie in an HTML page... I'm passing variables to the movie and it works fine in IE but Netscape refuses to load the variables... Any ideas...?

Relevant code is below;

Problems Viewing In Netscape 4.6+
I have the most frustrating problem here. Some of my flash shows up in Netscape 4.6+ browsers, some doesn't. I use the published HTML code everytime but some of the movies just don't want to work. Any suggestions?

Anyone Viewing This Swf Can Change It For Everyone Viewing
Greetings,

I dont post much because usually I can just search for my question and I'll get an answer within minutes. However I was not even real sure how to ask this question in the form of a search so I guess it would be best to describe how it would work.

Is the following possible with flash?

4 people are viewing the same web page with the same swf file. The movie contains 4 blocks that each time you click on it, it changes to a different color.

One person clicks on one block and it turns blue, then immediately the other three people viewing the same web page see one block turn blue because of an action someone else across the world did.

Is this possible?

I have a proficiency level with sharedObjects but I think thats strictly a local technology that works sort of like registry keys. I suppose what I'm looking for is a way for every user in the world who sees this web page to share a variable list. How do I do that?

thanks.

Viewing Flash In The Web
Hi, am a beginner in flash. I published my flash work as an html file and I put it on the web and it works perfectly on my computer, but when I went to a different computer the flash did not work, I think the problem is that am using Flash 6 and the other computer was looking for Flash 5, I don't think it could play Flash 6. I tried playing with the publishing settings and that didn't work. So can you guys help me on how to make this work on any kind of computer. Thank for your help.

Viewing Flash In A PDF
Hi There.

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me on this one, but chances are they cant.

I have a swf file that is created and changes depending on a bunch of dynamic variables from a database. It generates a map which looks different depending on these variables. I am generating a pdf which goes along with the map, so that people can save their map to their harddrive. Is there anyway that I can, on the fly, export the swf file as another file format for inclusion in the pdf, or any other way of getting this information into the pdf?

Viewing Flash
is it possible people can view flash without

flash player

Viewing ASP In Flash
This is really ****ing me off. I cant view my ASP in Flash.

I have used
Code:
loadVariablesNum ("viewRecords.asp", 0);
in flash to view and
Code:
Response.write (" _root.records = test;");
and nothing happens!! The syntax is all correct and the dynamic text Var is set to: _root.records .

Also I have made another asp page which shows all records from the database with a repeat region setting but it still doesnt show.

When I view the ASP page the source is
Code:
_root.records = test;
so everythings right there. Somethings wrong in Flash. IT JUST ISNT DISPLAYING IN THE DYNAMIC TEXT AREA!

Viewing Area In Flash
Okay this is my problem, I am doing something in flash similar to what 2A has done on the http://www.immigrantindustries.com/immigrantrecords/
site. I have made a movie clip that is really really wide, and when a different link is pressed i wwant different part sof the movie clip to scroll left and right displaying the correct information. Now the problem is i casnt get the "editing" area wide enough for me to makke the movie clip as wide as i want ( i hope that made sense) basically how am I able to get the "editing" area wide enough so that i can have a movie clip that is atleast 4500 px wide (6 differnt scenes at 750 px each) I am able to fit 3 of the scenes, but i cant get the left and right scroll to scroll over enough to fit the otheer 3....help....and if there is a better way to do this than please let mee know....Thanks

Flash Html Viewing
If i build a flash movie and save it as html I have no problem viewing this in IE, but if I send this file to someone it will not load. Why?

Viewing Flash At Employer
There are problems with some employees viewing flash objects in a web site that was created in our company. The problems are mainly with people who have Windows XP computers. Anyone with Windows 98 do not have this problem. I asked the network Administrator if he's blocked out any streaming videos, etc., (they have recently blocked us from downloading fonts, programs from the internet and personalizing our computers) but he says that he hasn't. The first page of the website is the only one that shows but the other pages that also contain flash objects at the top of each page do not show up (just a white box). Can anyone help? The administrator, signed on as an administrator, has no problems, however, he signs on as a user and the problem appears. He has someone checking in to this. I currently have not been switched over to XP as of yet but by the end of the month I will have it. I just don't see any reason to update skills if they're taken away by network administrators unless there's a way around it. Thanks in advance for any information you may have.

Viewing Flash On Wintels
Hi,

I've just built this site with an interactive demo done in Flash that is about 568k in size. It works fine on any Mac (OS9x/OSX) but on all Wintel-based machines that I've tried the file stops downloading in the middle and just hangs there indefinitely.

Here it is: www.soundnetwork.co.uk/interactive.htm

Any ideas?
Much appreciated.

Flash Viewing Problems
When viewing a page with flash elements (in Explorer), sometimes when scrolling down the page, the flash animation follows the scroll.

For example:
If there is an animation at the top of the page and I scroll down before the animation has completely loaded, the animation actually appears whrever it is I scroll to. I was told it is a memory problem but I've seen it happen on many different machines.

Any thoughts from anyone???? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John D

Viewing Uploaded Flash
I have uploaded successfully previously and this one won't work on the web; it does on my computer; so why? the loading bar doesn't grow and it is stuck!
http://www.users.bigpond.com/matilda...day%20card.htm
Here is all the details of timeline and action script:
Timeline
1st layer : actions – Actions for Frame 1 of Layer Name actions :
totalBytes = this.getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = this.getBytesLoaded();
remainingBytes = totalBytes - loadedBytes
percentDone = int((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
bar.gotoAndStop(percentDone);
if (_framesloaded == _totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
Actions for frame 2 of layer Name actions:
this.gotoAndPlay(1);

2nd layer : sound – Actions for frame 1 of layer name sound:
stopAllSounds(); (this layer goes all the way to the end of the movie)

3rd layer: anim – actions to Frame 1 (labeled anim) of Layer named anim.

No actions - (2frames)

4th layer: text – Actions to Frame 1 (labeled text) of layer named text
No actions – (2frames)

5th layer: bar – Actions for frame 1 (labeled bar) of Layer named bar
No actions – (2frames)

All layers of movie start at frame 3 and beyond.

How To Add My Own Controls To A Flash I'm Viewing?
how to add my own controls to a Flash I'm viewing?

For instance, when viewing a Flash I want to rewind/fast forward - I'm sure there's some way for me to control it myself, with a program that can add controls.

Sort of like a Tivo for Flash - any suggestions?

Viewing Web Pages From Within Flash
I iwsh to make a flash in wish you may browes the web, and be able to have muitle windows (in the form on in symbols) open at one time. so in a way it would be a broswer, but it is ok for it to run in ie/firefox. does anyone have any idea how i might achive this?

thank you.

Viewing HTML Within Flash?
I know this can be done, but I can't remember how I used to load up HTML pages within flash. What I'm doing is making a flash site for a frat at my University. Initially we were going to use frames (one on top and one on bottom) but page loading would become tiresome. There are some pages of there old site and links that are just not able to be converted to flash. For those pages I wanted to be displayed in a portion of the current flash movie.

I can't remember if it was a component or like a dynamic text file being used to display the information.

Regardless, what would be a good way of allowing me to view HTML within Flash?

Viewing Flash In Powerpoint
I'm having a nightmare! I've built a Powerpoint presentation and embedded Flash charts in it. I can view it and so can a view others but not all people can see the flash. Apparently all you need is flash player to view the flash but that doesn't seem to be true. Is there a way of bundling the flash player with the powerpoint so it will automatically run on any system???
Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Viewing Html In Flash?
the following is a mockup of the website im making: click here

what im trying to accomplish is having the grey area read off of html files such that the contents scroll behind the soldier character. every section has a different soldier character.

i want to use html so that the content itself can be updated more easily. also, i want to be able to use html features such as images changing on mouseovers, links within the html document, etc. customizing the scroll-bar for ie would be nice too.

ive tried to think of ways of doing this in plain html (fixed backgrounds, etc) but cannot think of a method to keep the soldier image in front of the content - which is really the main reason why im resorting to flash.

is this doable? any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Viewing Flash Files
If I want to send an animation to someone so they can see it can they see it if they don't have Flash?

Also, is there an appropriate time to use scenes? Is it when your animation is going to be seriously long?

[MX]Limiting Flash Viewing
Is there a way to somehow send code into Flash, that will detect whether you have viewed the Flash already.

What I need, is to make it so you can only view it once. For example:
It will send you to Frame 2 instead of Frame 1 because you have already viewed it once.

I think I'd need a webspace wouldn't I? Can this still be done with a Free Webspace? (Freewebs.com) Or will I need more control over the website?

Viewing PDF Inside Flash
i wanna display a pdf document in my movie. so i think i need a pdf viewer that will load pdf's at runtime and render it or a converting tool that will let me convert pdf to swf offline;
i saw AlivePDF but it seems it is for generating PDF at client side. i couldn't find methods to view PDF in it. is it possible with AlivePDF?

i also tried pdf2swf in the SWFTools but it gives me an AVM1Movie which doesn't give me much interactivity. anyone know of an AS3 version of this?

EDIT: I tried FlashPaper just now. it is also AVM1Movie, but it gives me a little more interactivity; only scrolling pages using scrollbar is possible. other functionalities like prev page, next page, search, hand cursor etc are not available, though corresponding buttons/components are shown there (and was working fine when i opened them in standalone player). so i think it is AVM1Movie issue; is there an AVM2 version available?

other suggestions are also appreciated

thanks in advance

Viewing Source In Flash CS3
Hello,

Can someone guide me on how to view the "Source" within Adobe Flash CS3? I want to add a hit counter to
my website. I need to place the code in the source area.

Thanks so much for your help.

Viewing PDFs In Flash
We want to view some PDFs in a Flash-based training piece we are creating. I looked at FlashPaper and another tool called PDF2SWF. The two issues I see are that some fonts don't look quite right in the SWF (heavy fonts get a little muddy), and I would like my developer to create a viewer that works more like a book, so pages scrolling vertically won't work.

Are there other options? Has someone done something like this? I have Flash CS3, but my developer has Flash 8, so we are probably limited to that, unless new capabilities in CS3 make it worthwhile for my developer to upgrade.

Thanks for your comments.

Viewing Flash Files Under IE6

thnaks for your help

Website Viewing In Flash?
I have a question that may have been answered before, and if so I am sorry. But here it is, I wanted to know if and how to view a full webpage (Like yahoo, MSN, or any other) in flash. But I wanted to know if you could make it show in a certain size and place, like when a frame is entered, yahoo's main webpage will be shown at the bottom left of the screen and only be about 1/4 of the screen (which is only the bottom left). Get it? And if this is possible, is it possible to get text from a site only andplace it in a text field?
I love learning new things, so if anyone could help me on this, I would be thankfull.

Problems Viewing Flash
Hey there

I have a customer who is now saying that when some people go to the flash site I made for him, they cannot access the site. Even though the flash site can be viewed from his computer and mine and others. But some people are saying that they can't access the site. One person said that they saw an x in place of where the swf should be. What should I do and what does this mean? I am new to this----everytime I put something (flash) on any other site this never happened. They need to download flash player? I should put the link on the intro page to the site? Or is this something I can settle in flash myself?

Problems Viewing Flash MX Video
I launched a flash mx video on our company intranet and received some emails from users saying that the video would hang after 30 seconds.

I'm trying to gauge right now just what percentage of users are experiencing problems. Hopefully, it's just a few.

If it's just a small group, I'm wondering if the users having the problem have an early Flash 6 player and need to update to at least revision 40.

My question is, how can I find out what revision they currently have? If they right click on the flash movie, all it's going to say is that they have Flash 6, right? Is there a date and time for the flash.ocx file that can tell me what revision they are running?

Also, if you have any other ideas as to what could be causing the video to hang on some PCs, please let me know.

Sizing Flash For Internet Viewing
I am trying to figure out what dimensions will make my Flash movie the best size for viewing on most computers-- or what are average dimensions for creating a website in Flash? Right now my default is set at 550 x 400 pixels and I don't know if this is correct for optimum web viewing!

Thanks

Pwerpoint With Video To Flash For Viewing On Web
I have several Powerpoint presentations with video clips that I would like to be made available online. I gave the files to our IT department and we have some software to convert Powerpoint to Flash. It converts except the video.

I know there is some high priced software to do this. Are there any low cost options or companies that can do the conversions for us (rather than us buying software?

Thanks in advance

Problems Viewing Flash On Website
Hi,

I'm recently new to flash but was trying to create a small flash animation to go on a website. I've managed to get the animation working ok however when I embed the swf file on the website, a message comes up saying that it has blocked all activeX content and will then only run when I click to allow blocked content. I've changed my IE settings to a custom setting to allow all activeX content, however I still keep on getting the same message every time I try to view the website.

Has anybody got any ideas? I would REALLY appreciate the help.

Restrict Viewing / Access Of Flash
I would like to restrict access / opening of the flash file to only the domain I am hosting the flash file from. ie : if I host the swf file movie.swf in the domain www.domain.com, viewing can only be done via http://www.domain.com/movie.swf.
Is this possible?
As I know once users view this link, a copy of the swf file will be downloaded to their temporary internet files and users may gain access to my swf file. I do not wish to distribute my files in such a way unless they purchase from me. Is there any way to do it like actionscript or something?

Thanks in advanced!

Browser Issues Viewing Flash
Hi everyone, brand new here and this is my first thread.

Im having problems viewing some flash sites. In particular "livebooks" sites. I have emailed them and no answer. www.livebooks.com. None of them work on my machine.
They have a flash detection script (I think) which tells me I dont have the lastest version of flash player. I do! or I dont have a javascript enabled browser. I have that too (i think) and java scripting is enabled.

I did have Java (sun microsystems) installed as well and thought this may have been creating a conflict. I used it for runing Java Appl platforms for trading. I uninstalled it and still a problem.

Browser is IE 6.

Also have Norton Anti Virus installed although I'm reluctant to uninstall this as it keeps me safe, and surely it shouldn't stop me from viewing basic web technology like javascripting.

I'm at a loss, does anyone out there have any ideas?

[CS3] Flash Text Pixalated When Viewing On A PC
Hey guys, I am having an issue with my text becoming pixalated when I view my flash site on a PC, however, it looks fine when i view it on my Mac (I've used various browsers and the problem seems isolated to Windows browsers). Is there a setting I'm missing?

I do admit that my font is 12px and is a light font to begin with (http://www.dafont.com/geo-sans-light.font) but surely there is a reason why it seems fine on my Mac but not on my PC, right?

Any insights would be helpful

Thanks
