I am working with loadVars in an swf file embedded in an html page. The script is written to add a text string to existing textfield. The documentation I have does not address this situation. How do I get the return value from the server to the embedded SWF file in this situation?

View 1 RepliesI need to load an image and 2 dynamic text fields tied to the TWEEN CLASSand controlling the SWF file via HTML ONLY - no PHP or external .TXT fileI want to change info in HTML code to change content of the SWF filecan this be done?
View 2 Repliesso ive just been fiddling with a loadVars to load in some html text, into my dynamic text box, with render as html button tagged. it only loads in a certain amount of my text file (which is a .txt -- and my fonts have been embedded)./.
Code:
var textData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
textData.onLoad = function()
{
[Code].....
And yeah, it just doesnt load in all the wonderful text I have written.
I'd like to load a .txt file containing HTML with LoadVars, and have a link within the HTML code perform a Flash action. I'm sure I've seen this before but I'm not sure of the syntax, and I can't seem to find the documentation. If anyone could provide information or links to information on this, I would appreciate it.To clarify--let's say I've already loaded my HTML into Flash. I want a code kind of like this:
HTML Code:
<a action="myFunction();">Start this movie</a>
where myFunction() is defined in the Flash movie already.
I made a Flash-based "news section" for my website. This file uses a text field (with render-as HTML) and an instance name of dynamicText. The actionscript fills this text field with content from a TXT file called homeNews.txt.Everything works great, except if I make additions to the TXT file and re-upload to the server, the Flash file still calls an old version of the TXT file from my cache. This even happens after emptying the cache. This is a huge problem if I need to add daily updates. This problem only occurs on the server and not when testing locally.
Here is the code I put in my Flash file:
Code:
Ext_text = new LoadVars();
Ext_text.onLoad = addText;
Ext_text.load("homeNews.txt","POST");
[code]....
Is there any workaround to load in complete html pages with LoadVars ?
I have this client that wants to update some pages (just adding and removing text and pictures), but I would love to do it in action scripting and have him update an external file.
Now I could tell him to remove the tags from <html> to <body> and from </body> to </html>, save it as text file and add a variable (like myText at the top of his file, but that wouldn't make things much easier for him.
He'll probably start to complain that it would have been easier if I'd made it in html instead of flash
how to display an html page inside of flash ? (except for opening browser windows and loading the page in that window ofcourse - that isn't good enough)

One of the moderators, could you've a look at this tutorial: [URL] it doesn't works with me, maybe because I've 2004 so if you change loadVars() into LoadVars() it should work

View 6 RepliesBasically, there is a Flash movie embedded in the HTML TextFiled. The code is is as follows:
<img src="[URL]" width="470" height="350"></img>
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>
<p>Is there any way to make the space between embedded Flash movie above and this text more narrow ???</p>
In case there is less line breaks (<br />) the text in the last paragraph is shown truncated from the beginnng (so it's like "ny way to make the space..."). Is this a bug in Flash Player or is there any way to render text below embered swf better?

i have been reading all over looking how to get flash to resize and i have seen all about setting the height and width to 100% but these all seem to be when the swf IS the webpage.i'm looking to embed just a piece of flash into my html page, which i need to resize on browser resize.
View 1 Repliesin the attachment, you'll see the text display is quite awful despite the fact I embed Arial font in my application.
View 2 RepliesI have embedded an automatic slideshow as a swf file into a website I'm designing for my parents. When I test the swf file, it performs exactly as expected but when I embed it into the html, it just sits there and doesn't run/animate/whatever.
The slideshow (should) automatically run through a group of 7 photos, with a fade transition and was all done with actionscript, loading the external jpeg files into alternate movieclip containers etc etc.
The web page where it doesn't work is here: [URL] - you can see that the swf just sits there, doing absolutely nothing.
The location of the swf file is: [URL] - as you can see, it works fine on its own!!
I have made a html file in which a swf is embedded with swf object. this swf contain dynamically loaded audio files. It works fine in offline but when it is uploaded it does not show the movie(swf is not playing) I see only empty space. i thought that it may take time to load, but even after waiting for long time the swf did not play and it shows blank white space. Why?..........following is the code[code].....
View 2 RepliesI am using swfin to embed a swf object (video player) and it loads fine in all browsers, but in firefox it won't "start".I have to right click on the movie area and "start" is unchecked so I click on "start" and it will start just fine. Yet, in chrome and IE (haven't moved to a mac for testing yet) it fires up and starts just as I expected. I have tried swfobject instead of swfin and I have IE issues that I couldn't seem to correct. Hence moving to swfin.Here is the swfin code:
`
var s = new swfIN("/Flash/video_player_playhead_overlays.swf", "flashMovie", "427", "280");
// s.hideSEO("div_seo");
s.addVar("video_file", "/DownloadableWork/Boardwalk.flv");[code]....
I am using swf object to embed a swf into a html page. When I compile the swf there are no errors yet when I embed it into a web page i keep getting thrown either one of these two errors the first time the page loads in Safari and Chrome TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at tracks/loadFlashvars()[code]In firefox I get thrown the same errors everytime the page loads. My swf loads other swfs and and they have XML loaders I thought maybe it could be something to do with the base swf not being fully loaded before the code is run so I have been playing around with setTimeout(); to try and make a work around but I am unsure if this is correct or if my embed code is wrong, which you can see below.URL...
View 1 RepliesI am creating a Flash project for a fundraising event and tend to test it every now and again. It is an accordion menu. It is going on a html page. I want the height to be relative to the width and the width to equal 100% of the browser window. When I set the html publish settings, I set it to 100% width & height. Then I embedded a swf using the loadmovie() method. I published it again. Everything seemed to be working OK but when my menu loads with the embedded swf, it goes back to normal size (actual size of project - 450x230).

Yes, this is a newbie question and I'm a little surprised I can't find any mention of this anywhere. I have a flash banner that replays when my page posts back. I there a trick to this or do I have to resort to something heavy handed, like replacing the flash with the jpg on postback or writing some sort of javascript to check for postpack and setting the play attribute to false.
View 3 RepliesI want to make it so that when I click anywhere on the embedded Flash element, it takes me to a destination URL.
Here is my current code, which does not produce the desired effect:
<div class="contentdiv" style="margin:-72px 0 10px 0px; cursor:pointer;" onclick="location.href='http://example.com/';">
<object height="410" width="720">

Right now it is making the space behind the .swf file clickable for the link, but the Flash element is not clickable.
If the right thing to do is to edit the .swf file somehow, I don't consider myself a Flash developer, but are there any resources on where to get started or how to do something this basic with an existing .swf file?
How should I change the following code if I want to put my flash object into a directory named "flash/", I tried changing the value to "flash/photo.swf" but it didn't work.

When i embed a flash video in HTML it works in IE and in Firefox but not in chrome. I've looked it up and I've found that chrome adds two attributes to the embed tag, width and height. i have already set the width and height attribute in the embed tag in pixels but from some reason chrome changes it to percentage. when i inspect the element and write pixels instead of percentage the flash is visible again.

I have a SWF file and I am trying to embed it into an HTML. I used the following code:
<object width="704" height="440">
<param name="movie" value="[URL]"></param>
<embed src="[URL]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="false" width="704" height="440">
</embed></object>
If you go to [URL, you can see the problem. The button is blinking and all invisible text field are displayed. However, if I open the swf file directly, there is no problem.
I know that there is a possibility to open a video file either using a flash player or html5 in a browser, but is there a possibility to open it at the certain place (lets say 60 seconds from the beginning) or automatically fast forward it after opening?
