Imported swf problem (CP4)

[Guest]

Hi there,

I imported a swf file containing an embedded FLV, and put it in the third slide of the project. When I publish/preview, the swf starts playing immediately – I hear the sound and when by the time I go to the third slide the movie is somewhere in the middle.

Also, the movie runs slowly even though it has the same frame rate as the project, and slows down and even jams the entire project. (The swf size is 4.47 MB. Is it too heavy?)

Can someone help me figure out these two problems? I have another swf (simple animation, no sounds) and this one works just fine.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

When you insert your FLV, you might want to try setting the Display for menu of the Options tab to duration of video and then select the Synchronize with Project option. That might solve your problems.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply.

I followed your suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't work.

However, when I import the FLV alone, it works just fine. The problem occurs only when I import the FLV embedded in swf. So until I'll solve this problem I work with the FLV alone...

thanks again.

Hi,

How are you embedding FLV into the swf ?

This could be a result of the _root issue. reported here

Hi Manoj,

Indeed, looks like it was the _root issue. However, the "fix" widget didn't solve the problem. I already put a "fix" widget in another slide - perhaps you can't use it twice in the same project?

Anyway, I changed the programming to avoid using _root, and now it works just fine. Thanks!
