Just gone thru' the tutorial of creating full flash website.but there is no mentioning of how to hyperlink to other external link.Anyone here knows of a script that embeds the url in the flash button and on release opens a new browser window for external sites?
View 3 RepliesI've been playing with Wondershare Democreator for a few days now and it's been working very well. But today for the first time I tried putting a demo on a website. [URL] is an example of the problem I'm having. The above example works immediately in all browsers except IE. When I load that page for the first time in IE the play icon in the centre won't work and the play button at the bottom is greyed out. If I refresh the page things work find and work form then on, but if I clear my cookies and cache the same thing happens again. Obviously it's an unacceptable situation to be telling the viewer to refresh if using IE. It has to work first time. The embed page used is the one created by the software. I've contacted the creators but who knows when they'll get back to me.
View 10 RepliesI am embedding swf files into flex and no matter what button I use, mine or one of the library swf's that comes with Flash, the hitarea shifts upwards to the top 10 pixels of the button and up from there outside the button area.
View 0 RepliesI have rendered out a FLV with alpha enabled and using wmode options correctly, i am able to get my flash content embed on top of my pages, over the content.
1) I need the embedded flash content to have a close button, otherwise what i am seeing is a flash movie playing on without an option to close. Tried a button with on (release){getURL("java script:window.opener=self;self.close();");}
Is it that I have to place the FLV (alpha enabled) within a movieclip? and add a button there?
2) Also I need to start this content in the webpage using a mouse over over a button.

I'm interested in embedding a video into my swf file automatically. Therefore, I managed embedding an flv file onto the stage, but the problem is that after I give the embedded video an instance name and refer to the instance in a command (f.e change x,y coordinates or change width/height), on execution of the swf, the video stays frozen while the audio plays. If I don't refer to the embedded video instance, the video plays normally, just not placed correctly on the stage.

I have an AS2.0 scripted flash that behaves perfectly when not embedded, but then erratically when embedded. It is a dynamic masked mc with a mouseListener.event so that the magnifying glass follows the mouse as does the invisible mask and you get a magnifying glass effect. All is well outdie the HTML, but once embedded the mouse only erratically attracts the lens mc

is there anyway to place this embed code into my flash file? It's a code to an interactive flash file that I need to embed on a portfolio I'm making. I've tried countless methods of embedding youtube videos in an attemmpt to figure it out but nothing has worked. I'm using Flash CS5 with actionscript 2.Here is the embed code I'm trying to use.

I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible on local desktop but not on remote desktop. Below are the steps that I have followed.
* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]
* Given this font name to textField on stage.
* Registered this new font.
* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this font name to Font instance.
* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied this textformat as defaultTextFormat.
* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.
I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't. This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares. Let me know if I am missing any step.
Hey there. I'm very new to Flash CS3. I understand the basic concept of the timeline. I'm not a programmer and I just want to create a FLASH movie that has video with audio and some text animation that I can add to my website. I have successfully created some very simple flash movies without video. My problem is that when I embed an AVI file the audio quality degrades so much that it's unusable. The full length of the viedo is about 9 minutes. It was professionally shot in studio and when I play the AVI file it is fine. I tried chunking up the video into 3 minute segments but that still didn't fix the audio quality. I then separated the audio from the video in Pinnacle Studio and then embedded the video into the timeline and added the audio, and now I can't sync up the audio with the video.

I'm trying to make my own photography website using flash. I have a basic outline/template or what I want it to look like and all of the action script to connect the pictures but I'm missing the main things. The pictures. I have html embedding codes for all of the images and would like to use those somehow instead of just having to manually copy and resize my pictures into the actual flash document (because that takes up a lot of space and makes loading longer, I think).
View 2 RepliesI have built a few flash sites before and am trying to make one that is slightly more complicated and allows for dynamic, database stored images and text. I have built a dynamic gallery based on an XML feed in AS2 which works fine. I am trying to embed it into another FLA file that contains the remainder of the site (the gallery will be one page of the main site). I have tried a ridiculous number of different methods but just cannot get it to work. The gallery is built in AS2, so I am using an AS2 FLA file for the main template it is to be embedded in. The simplest method i have tried that i think should work is to create a new AS2 fla file, edit the actions on my actions layer to be: Empty.loadMovie("My Gallery.swf");
I have then created a new layer for the content and added a MovieClip to the top left of it, named Empty. I have set the instance name of this movie clip to be Empty. From what I have understood from my reading this is the simplest way to display the external file but for some reason it just will not work. It seems to see My Gallery.swf as when i delete it from the local directory i get an 'Error opening URL 'file:///D|/Websites/My Gallery.swf'' message. This message does not appear when this file exists locally, however it just opens a blank screen with nothing within it. I have been reading numerous tutorials and posts and i'm pretty sure i'm being thick, but for some reason i can't seem to get it to work!
my fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
What I did so far that did not work:
Made fonts static with animation
made fonts dynamic with animation
I am having trouble embedding fonts with cs5. When i publish the text disappears.The text is dynamically loaded and when published appears blank. I'm using Actionscript 2 I need help with the scripting. I've selected the dynamic text box and gone to Type> font embedding and created a new font. Then exported it for actionscripting.What script do i have to put in the first frame so that it uses the font?

View 1 Replieshow to embed a url in a .swf file? I have Macromedia Flash MX, as one option. Please explain how I can do this, or point me to a resource with step-by step instructions.
View 4 RepliesThe entire banner needs to be a clickable link for the duration of the animation. So anyone can click on the banner at any point during the animation, and be brought to my site. I tried putting a frame at the end with getURL[URL] but that doesnt work. When I do that, the banner is not a clickable link, but the site opens automatically after the animation has played. Cant have that. So after doing some research, the apparent correct way to do this is by making a button, but I do that and the button obsures everything else.

For a site I'm using Flowplayer and the Overlay tool from jQuery Tools, to show video. Within windows everything is fine in the main three browsers: IE7/8/9, Firefox and Chrome. Within OS X (Snow leopard), the problems begin: A click in the video, anywhere, causes a reload. This is the case for the three browsers Safari, Firefox and Chrome (Not in Chrome 12.0.742.53 beta ???) Giving the embeded player the property wmode = 'opaque' or wmode = 'transparent' results in the same situation on the windows platform, but only Firefox en Chrome browsers. Not in IE. So wmode is really bugging me... documentation on wmode ? I can't find anything suitable

I know that the common misconception with embedding SWFs on secure pages is that people always try to embed it using a non-secure link. This isn't the case, as I am trying to host the SWF and swfobject.js locally using relative paths to account for the use of SSL.
It appears that the first of these players (under ssl) will play the audio playback, but won't display the video, while the second one will render the entire SWF fine.
Here are 2 examples that are EXTREMELY similiar. Unfortunately I can only post 2 hyperlinks, so you'll have to swap the http: protocol with https: to see how each player renders under SSL.
These 2 players are using 2 different SWF's, so I'm lead to believe it's a Flash/ActionScript issue, but I have failed to isolate it.
Example 1
Non-secure working embed
Example 2
Non-secure working embed
I'm using Flash CS5 and I have a problem with my exported SWF file: it's over 100kb in size. I have 2 vectorial symbols and 4 dynamic text with embed Calibri font boxes which are displaying information from an external XML file. These text boxes are the ones which are generating the most size of my swf file. I need to cut down somewhere, I've searched but I haven't came across a "best practices guide to embedding fonts in a flash file". I find it hard to believe that if you only embed alphanumerical characters of 1 single font your file size reaches >100kb..

This works great, however obviously in order to change the video you have to open Flash and edit the AS. I have some experience with XML, however I don't know where to start in terms of embedding a youtube vid.
