Flash :: Publishing Html Flash Etc...

Publishing HTML Flash
I create a flash movie that pulls in other swf's. When I test the movie it works great with the "other movie" playing in a separate window and at the right window size.

However when I publish the html version... The extra SWF still plays in a separate window but no longer respects the size? (So a small flash movie will play on a full screen. This allows the viewer to see everything that is 'off-scene')

Publishing My Flash Movie Into HTML
Can someone please help me figure this out. I am using Flash 8 and Dreamweaver 4. I have my movie finished. It's basic motion tween fade ins and outs, and some music in the background.

My problem is this:

1. I don't want an IE browser on the users side to require them to install an ActiveX control. Like have to click the security bar at the top of their screen. I see MANY sites that just automatically play the flash content, and I just need help. <----newbie.

2. In Dreamweaver, I go to media>insert> and hit flash. I assume after publishing my movie that I want to insert the .swf file and not the .fla? Either way, when I do it, I see the icon in Dreamweaver, but as soon as I F12 to test, it doesn't do anything.

What I need is a step-by-step process. Do I insert a "plugin " instead? I am lost as hell. I knew it couldn't be that easy. Please help.

How To Align Swf Center After Publishing To HTML With Flash Detection
Hey there... I just finished a site of mine using Flash 8 and published to HTML so that I could embed some flash detection too. Everything seems to work fine, except that the site is aligned left now instead of center. The object itself obviously isn't embedded in the HTML page, but called up with Javascript, which has parameters that should set things like width, height and alignment, but these don't seem to make a difference at all. Here are my javascript settings for embedding the swf in the HTML page as they are now:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var hasRightVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);
if(hasRightVersion) { // if we've detected an acceptable version
// embed the flash movie
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,24,0',
'width', '957',
'height', '772',
'src', 'site2',
'quality', 'high',
'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'showall',
'wmode', 'transparent',
'devicefont', 'false',
'id', 'Paper Jet Wednesday',
'bgcolor', '#333333',
'name', 'Paper Jet Wednesday',
'menu', 'true',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'allowFullScreen','false',
'movie', 'site2',
'salign', 't'
); //end AC code

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the alignment settings are set to middle or center, so I don't really understand why it still aligns left. You can check out it out at http://www.paperjetwednesday.com/demo/pjw/site2.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

Why Doesn't My Swf Show In The Middle Of My Html File When Publishing In Flash Cs3
I created a movie file in flash 8 and published the document with the html file publish settings for plugin detection and to center my movie in the middle of the html page which worked fine. But I am now using Flash cs3 and taking advantage of the new code for plug-in detection. I have put the same publish settings from 8 to cs3 but the document shows at the top left corner in Firefox and goes to the alternate page in IE to download the plugin. Can anyone help me out, is anyone experiencing the same problems?

Publishing Swf As Html?
I know there is no stupid questions in this section, but I sure feel that way asking this.

If I publish (for the web) a flash file as html, does the viewer need a flash player to view the page?

How do those site handle making a swf version and a html version?

I'm so lost.

Publishing In HTML
Hi:

Another question, which is a web site posted one of my Flash movies, but it doesn't come in a window as I specified in the publishing settings. In other words, it's not cropped to the stage dimensions, and you see all the crap falling off the screen you're not supposed to see. What am I doing wrong? Help me! Thanks for any help.

HTML Publishing
why is it that some of the movie's html files that i'm publishing include the 'urls and text in this movie' and have all the information in there (good for a search engine crawl i guess) and some of them don't have any of the text in there? I have checked the fla files and the text is still in text boxes and not converted to anything... and doesn't look a whole lot different to ones that do include it. know what i mean, help?

Sorry about that mess, can't think of any other way to explain it.

Publishing HTML & SWF
I've been going through my Publishing settings checking them over and over.

Dimensions in HTML are Fit To Movie. (which I want) SWF file still acts as if its on percentage and grows and expands with Flash player.

HTML, although I've indicated to center/center. It still publishes upper left corner?

Is there a CSS I can put into the HTML doc to over ride the alignment problem? Any recommendations on the swf or html publishing.

HTML Publishing
Hello,

I have this issue...

When I use HTML publish from within Flash, it generates
AC_RunActiveContent.js along with SWF and HTML files,
and when opening a page in IE it doesn't alert me that
ActiveX content has been blocked.

However, I need to put alternative content into the page
in case users don't have Flash installed, so I turned to
SWFObject script (it's also written in JavaScript).

I managed to make SWFObject to work perfectly, except
this annoing thing that every time I run HTML page generated
with SWFObject generator, IE alerts me that ActiveX content
has been blocked.

Any way to overcome this issue?

Thanks

Publishing In Html And IE
Hi all,

I'm having a problem getting a flash site to work in IE. I have the html file published using Flash MX in the main directory and the .swf file it uses in a separate subfolder of that directory. In the html file, I edited the code

Code:
EMBED src="index.swf"
to

Code:
EMBED src="/subfolder/index.swf"
For some reason, the page won't load in IE, although it works when I use Firefox or Opera. I have a ton of swf files for the site so I want to keep them in their own folder. If anyone can tell me how to get it working, I would be extremely grateful.

Publishing Issue...Html/Swf
Recently in a response from my site check post, I fellow member pointed out that my site was created in flash, but published as an Html file...

The reason is because when I publish as a .swf, my site is shrunken and out of focus, but when I publish as Html, it comes out perfect. Just how it looks like in the native flash environment, although...you guessed it, looking and performing like a html file.

What is wrong with my publishing settings...
I want to publish as a .swf but don't know how...
I quess it's just the rookie in me.

Try it out

Also why is it I often see websites with addresses like

HTML Publishing Question
I'm using Flash MX if it makes any difference.

When looking at the "Publishing Setting", I see several things there, including "HTML" settings. I've also read that

"If you want to put your movies on the web, they should be embedded into HTML pages."

Is this the same thing or different stuff?

Also, we all know some people have resolution settings at 800 x 600 or one of the other various settings.

How can I make it so that my Flash Movie will fill up the entire browser, regardless of resolution?

Thanks,

Publishing Problems In Html
Hi guys,

I am having problems publishing a Flash MX movie. When I publish choosing the “percent”from the “Dimensions” drop down in the “publish settings”, the flash movie works fine. But images comes with no scale, and it is a problem for me.
For that reason, I chose the “pixels” in the Dimensions drop down. The scale of the movie in the browser is now correct, but the bottom of the movie, part of which is a menu, is no longer working. The movie appears to be cut in 2 areas, one of which is blocked, and the other half is working correctly. When I used the “percent”, all the movie was working well.
What’s going wrong??? Thanks for help,

Publishing Problem -- Swf Vs Html
For some reason when I publish my swf and html file from flash, the swf file will work locally on my computer, but the html file does not function properly.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing the differences in functionality between the 2?

edit: To be more specific, when a certain hitTest happens, there is supposed to be a function call, but that function doesn't call. It calls fine in the swf, but not in the html file.

Save Html Settings When Publishing
Does anyone have a simple trick for saving html settings when publishing a movie from Flash?

For example, I am changing the <body> tag to <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> so I can have full browser window viewing. So, every time I publish I have to view source in the browser and c/p the new body tag in save and refresh. This is time consuming and irritating--especially when doing browser checks to see how it's viewing.

I would LOVE to have a trick to fix this annoyance! Thanks.

Problem Publishing/posting Html
OK, newbie question/problem I think...

Exporting or publishing my movie to swf, I have no problem. I upload it to my webpage, click the link, and it plays no problem. When I publish it to HTML, it will play on my computer, but won't seem to play when I upload it. The "page loading" bar just sorts sits there after getting about half-way. Ordinarily, I might think this is b/c the webhost isn't flash friendly, but since it plays/hosts the swf, that's not the case (right?). Thinking it could be issues of file size perhaps, I reduced the frame size and the quality, but this seems to have no effect -- still just a lock up in the browser without ever loading. The file is only ~1MB in size; When surfing, I've seen a number of flash movies double that size or more published to HTML that load and play to my computer very quickly.

Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

They said there is a problem with my HTML file and I can not figure out the problem.I have pasted my HTML file code below.

Problems With Html Publishing And Buttons
Hi I've got a strange problem. My site is up - The Aviators - but as you can see the buttons don't work. Now when I view the main index animation (which loads the content .swfs into it) in the standalone flash player the buttons work fine - its only when viewed in a browser that they do not.

My main index source file and an .swf to load as content are here

I have no idea why it doesn't work and its driving me mad so if someone could take a look at it for me I'd be very grateful.

Preserving Font For HTML Publishing
Sorta new to flash.

This is probably a really dumb question. In Flash MX 2004 Professional, how do i publish my movie for the web so that it doesn't mess up the fonts ?
Do i have to go back in and make every single lettering a graphic symbol ? because when i do that it makes it jump and it's a pain to get it back in place correctly for the movie to play as i want it.

Basically, how do i publish it so that the lettering looks the same on any computer once the movie plays online ?

HTML Publishing Question - Percent
Aloha All,

this is my first post here. I am pretty new with flash, I have been learning from all the knowledge the web has to offer. after fussing with this issue for a while I decided to seek help from the pro's .

my issue is when I publish my .fla file I have my html publish settings at 100% so my .swf file will take up 100% percent of the browser. yet on some screens where it does not take up 100% of the screen you can see what is going on off stage. is there a way to stop this?

I know there must be a way. any advice you can give or directions you can point me in are appreciated.

ps: the only work around I can think of is somehow masking the entire stage, is this the solution?

thanks

MovieClip Reference Not Working When Publishing To HTML
Hi,

I have a strange problem which is driving me nuts. In "_root" I have created a movieClip, which is used to display dynamic graphics as they are generated.

Most of my code is in classes that call eachother and do all sorts of stuff - some of these draw/renders graphics to the movieClip.

All classes contain a reference to the movieClip so that they have access to it and can draw to it.

When I publish/preview the swf in the preview window it runs perfectly. Everything loads and everything is displayed correct. The problem is when I publish to HTML nothing is showing at all!

The only way I can get my HTML version to show graphics is when I add/draw it directly from _root (fla. file). Doing the same from within a class using the reference to movieClip is not working.

So this is a huge problem. So basically:

(fla file)
movieClip

(class)
referenceToMovieClip

--------------------------------------
Publish to HTML

(class)
referenceToMovieClip.drawDynamicallyGeneratedShape

This isn't showing anything at all on screen when viewing in browser, but works great in preview.

I am out of ideas! - please help.

Actions? How To..Button Syntex To Open HTML From Local Disc When Publishing As EXE?

I've created my buttons, but can't seem to figure out what I have to enter in the Actions to open my Locally saved HTML files.
I've tried something called "Get_URL" or something like that, but it insists on throwing "HTTP:" in front for the "Index.html" file name I've entered, and threrfore tried to connect online.
My desired target is "Index.html" which I plan to store in the same directory as my FLA file once it's published as an Executable. ie: C:MenuIndex.html and C:MenuFlashmenu.exe .

Publishing Science - Please Clear The Muddy Waters Of Publishing Best Practise
Having been working with Flash now for a few years there is still something that I find unfathomable & hopefully a clear concise reply to this will help me & maybe others.

Question.

What is the best way to publish Flash?

I have always used the percent setting (100%) & made sure that any jpegs I used would be of a quality that will scale up well. I say scale up I use a pretty big monitor I imagine (hope) that if they have to be scaled down they will not look too c**p.

To me there seems to be this elite science among some of the more experienced developers as to how they publish movies. I know the methods of the stage object can come into play such as _width etc., but how the hell do you accommodate all the components of a movie to work out there size & where they should then sit in a browser window? I have checked out other forums posts & articles on this but there seems to a lot of conflicting information.

I have successfully used & understood the swfObject & also have a good handle on HTML having started off programming with that. My best bet is that a movie is published within an HTML frame/table set & the setting of both are tweaked some how. I'm I on the right track & if so what is the current size of browser that I should be looking to publish to?

Publishing Multiple Pngs Or Publishing Movie So It Can Be Imported To Movie Maker.
So I want to enter the Neovision Altador Cup III Contest: "Ready for Fun". I have my animation done in flash, but need to be able to get it into one of the acceptable formats.

.mov, .qt, .mpeg2, .mpeg4, .mpeg, .avi, .wmv, .3gp, and .3gpp

I thought the easiest way would to some how import it into windows movie maker. There I could add sound and compress it into one of the acceptable file formats. Does anyone know how to change swfs or publish movies in a way that could be imported into windows movie maker or to one of the acceptable submission formats.

I have also found that I can publish pngs and import them into windows movie maker. But I can only do one frame in the time line at a time. Seeing as I have probably 800+ frames, is there a faster way to do this?

Thank you for any help
