I need a way to integrate a swf file with all the click events into an epub3 format? i tried including text on a swf file it shows an error in tags used while validation.Please help me with this.
Thanks to every help, suggestion or any links
While it's legal to embed a Flash file in an EPUB, Flash won't run on iOS at all, so it's not worth pursuing validation.
http://blog.threepress.org/2009/11/14/using-flash-video-in-epub/
A huge post toward the middle talks about ISO Mpeg4 and using that format for video, other suggestions talk about using a fallback image, other comments on this page that might help.
Good luck!
As from the
Liza Daly
answer and some of my research i found out that apple iOS doesn't support flash any more so it doesn't support swf in epubs. i Acheived it by using HTML5, css3 and jquery.

Is it possible to make a preview from an url, grabbing all the information such as title, relevant texts and images. Is there any plugins I can use readily?
See this Native android plugin
You can do this way :
1)Create a user at https://www.linkpreview.net
2)Generate an Access Key.
3)From your code call
http://api.linkpreview.net/?key=<Your_API_KEY_From_Step_2>&q=https://www.google.com
It returns the meta tags in JSON as below :
{"title":"Google","description":"Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for.","image":"http:\/\/www.google.com\/images\/branding\/googlelogo\/1x\/googlelogo_white_background_color_272x92dp.png","url":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/"}
4) Use it in flutter widget to create a preview.
Hope I'm not late to answer this question, There is a plugin for link with previews Rich link preview
Currently, there is not an open source library for flutter providing these meta tags for a website.
There is a temporal solution, using these freemium APIs for getting this information. The main drawback is that the requests are limited before paying.
I know I'm a bit late but I found a solution for that.
The comment of Sudip might work but if you have a lot of preview to generate, you will have to subscribe and pay..
I couldn't use the library rich_link_preview because of some depency issues (it requires http < 1.12.0).
So I had to do it myself. Writting the complete answer in this comment would be too long so I'll tell you how I did it.
I followed this youtube tutorial. If you are too lazy to watch the entire video you can look at his Github Repo. It worked for me and it is not too long (there are only 2 relevant files):
lib/link_preview.dart
lib/helper/fetch_preview.dart
Need help on rendering PDF using CGPDFContext. I am currently using UIWebView to display PDF but would like to perform much more operation rather than just reading like Highlight Text, Search PDF, Annotate PDF. Not looking for using any Framework or library.
Any help will be beneficial. For a start, code on how to render PDF using CGPDF and displaying it instead of using UIWebView.
PDF annotations are a rabbit hole. I've been working on them since 2010. The spec is thousands of pages. It's easy to get started but it takes forever to get right with all the PDFs and variations out there. Even a simple feature like bookmarks are harder than you would think.
To date there's no open source framework that implements PDF annotations. The above linked one can be a good starting point. If you don't have months/years to build something on your own, there are a few commercial options available - like PSPDFKit, available for iOS, Android and Web, which I am building.
We have a guide article listing the most important PDF spec documents.
Searching is another tricky topic. It's quite hard to convert the PDF text data to unicode. The Adobe CIDFont spec is a good starting point.
You shoud try VFReader, it is an open source project for rendering PDF files on iOS. It can be a good starting point.
I'm looking to use the Baker Framework to create a magazine app in Xcode, but I have no experience with HTML5.
I do, however, have experience creating interactive documents in InDesign. I would like advice as to whether this is an appropriate workflow for what I'd like to do.
Design Interactive Magazine in InDesign CS6 (This would include animations, buttons, audio and scrolling text)
Export it to HTML5 using Ajar's In5
Load the HTML5 export into Baker Framework and continue from there.
I'm using In5 to export my magazine and it works like a charm. However, I think you need to code all your animations in the files exported.
If you don't know HTML5, I recommend to take a look at Laker (http://www.lakercompendium.com/). In "How to use", they have a lot of code that will help you.
Hello people
I am really facing a big ask. I have created a dynamic AS3 flash website which loads images and text from an xml file.
Everything is fine, it works okay. EXCEPT that it goes totally dead in Ipad / iphone. My client was somehow not aware of this. And now he is going ballistic about the importance of IPAD in todays world etc etc..
I know IPAD does NOT support flash. Other than the OBVIOUS solution of recoding the complete website in HTML5 etc, I just wanted to know if somebody has tried anything else that could somehow make it work.
I have heard about the following, would like to know if any of this would make sense:
1. USE FLASH SUPPORTIVE BROwSER APPS IN IPAD
like Photon, skyfire, Puffin : are these brosers any good!! observations !!
2. CONVERT THE FLASH FILE INTO HTML5
using :
(1) Google SWiffy
Tried converting flash to HTML5 using swiffy extension for flash professional cs5 but the output was a disaster. XMLlist ignored, .... the list of errors is endless.
(2) Using Flash Professional CS6 / Toolkit for CreateJS
Any body having experience With this?? Any suggestions.
(3) Sothink sWf decompiler - decompile to HTML5
(4) Adobe Wallaby
(5) Anything else that is out there ...
3. USE ADOBE AIR
(1) Repackage as an app for IOS
This would work but can never give the experience of a website. Any thoughts.
(2) Package as AIR execute able file that can be run on IPAD??
Does Apple Ipad allow the installation of AIR files ??
Can it somehow be added to a browser and where it may automatically be loaded into the safari browser in IPAD etc ?? Its highly unlikely. Any thoughts !!
I would really appreciate if anybody and everbody could share their eperiences with these options AND whether or not its worth the try !!
Is the only option available is RECODING ONLY!!
Thanks ... looking forward to all your inputs and suggestions
Thanking you all in anticipation
Moody
Like you I found swiffy a waste of time for most things other than very simple as2 animations.
I don't know about AIR, but CS6 toolkit with createjs is excellent. Have a look at the video on the adobe site (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs.html) - it's a good introduction to what you can and can't do.

Des anyone know what is meant by this - I could understand if I was using a piece of media embedded but I'm viewing a quicktime file through the web using a webview so any clarification would be great?
main pages for videos are incorrectly formatted for iPhone
Thanks :-)
They required that a sample URL was submitted - the video format was fine. Hope this helps anyone with similar issue come back.
