I'm having issues with embedding SWFs from a parent folder e.g. trying to load example.swf:
FDK:
Code:
"src", "../example"
SWFObject
[Code]...
I embedded flash to my site using this:print swf('myflash.swf');into my page.tpl file however it is not recognizing the orig dimensions when using this:print swf('myflash.swf',array('height'=>400,'width'=>700));But the flash is showing up, only the dimensions had the problems. I have been searching and searching around in Google and drupal forums to no avail for a few days now..
View 1 RepliesI am looking to decide on what approach should I use when embedding the SWF files for my projects, either using the default generated embedding code or using SWFObject.Up to this point I have been using the default code generated when publishing the HTML file but I have been seeing more of SWFObject and while researching it
View 7 RepliesI 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

Example 2

I'm trying to embed my .swf file with swfobject, and pass the parent html code to the flash file as a string. Here is the javascript code:
Code:
// FLASH EMBED
// Page Title
var parent1 = document.getElementById('pageTitle');
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.parentXML = parent1.toString();
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("flash/pageTitle.swf", "pageTitle", "510", "150", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
Everything works fine until I use the toString() function in the flashvars line, which breaks the code and causes the .swf file to fail loading.
I am looking to decide on what approach should I use when embedding the SWF files for my projects, either using the default generated embedding code or using SWFObject.Up to this point I have been using the default code generated when publishing the HTML file but I have been seeing more of SWFObject and while researching it, I have found that it is quite appreciated as well.

I have a parent swf with fonts embedded in the library, which have export for actionscript set and a class name assigned. The patent swf loads a number of child swfs to which I'm trying to pass a textformat object using a desired font from the parents library. How can this be achieved. I have tried Font.registerFont(font class) and created a new instance of the font before setting the textformat, but this only works on machines with the font installed. In the child swf, the textfield text is set, then the textfomat applied with setTextFormat();

In the example below the movie on the right (boy in the hat) is embedded using this procedure but the two on the left (paws moving on order button and dog animation) had to be installed using Dreamweaver's swf installation methodology. and, consequently the dog animation does not show up in Explorer 8 and some other browsers.

i have 4 swf files with their respective actionscripts and xml files all in their folders, i already embedded the first file into my index.html .i place the swf file and its actionscript(main.as) /xml(images.xml) files into my index.html folder and it worked.the Other flash folders have files also named main.as or news.xml for example,so i can,t place them into my index.html file becuase they would overwrite the already existing files with same name.When i try to rename them so i can place all in my index.html folder,they don,t function anymore.i read somewhere here that i have to change the public function of my main.as file if i want to change its name,i did,[code] but got errors from flash cs4.Can someone help me out how i can rename actionscript files to avoid conflicting names before placing them in my index folder?or maybe how to correctly link to the folder in which the are originally placed?i tried relative and absolute paths,but when i call my index.html file in firefox,only the frames show.when i go back to the folders where i placed my flash files and click on the swf files,they play .so how can i lonk my index file to this folders properly?im using dreamweaver cs4 and did the normal insert media.
View 2 RepliesI have a project that requires embedding an XML file into the parent SWF AS3 code. this project relies on someone else's SWF that I do not have access to and it makes use of commands separated by &. When I load this SWF into a loader and pass the XML data to it from an external file, the & symbols are preserved and all is well. When I embed the XML data within the AS3 and point the loader to that XML data, all of the & get converted to & during parse at runtime or compile. How do I disable this? Is that possible to do?
I need to keep this format when the XML data is passed to the SWF in the loader:
<Child attribute="Command&Command&Command&Command"/>

I've noticed a problem I've been having when embedding my 620x460 SWF in HTML. I set width to 620 and height to 460, just like my SWF... But parts of the SWF doesn't fit into the HTML element. I have to add a an extra pixel or two on each side (of the HTML element), for everything to fit.

Embedded some characters using embed tag in flash CS3 (font.swf). 2 separate swf (a.swf,b.swf) loads the font.swf on runtime. These 2 swf are being called from a container (parent) swf. It looks find locally and not time consuming to load. But when I view it from a server, computer lags after a while....
(all file sizes are relatively small.around 160kb)
What needs to be done in order to prevent computer from lagging? Is it better to load font.swf not in separate swf but directly in container(parent).swf?
Currently, I have a main SWF (shell) that pulls in external SWFs via XML. I'd like to add buttons to the main SWF that allows me to control the content within the external SWFs (i.e. play, pause, etc). I've played around with a few different ways to get this to work, but have come up empty each time.

View 4 RepliesIs there a way I can share sound assets between parent and child swfs?

I'm trying to understand how to make referrences from one movie clip to another where one has "loaded" the other. I'm not seeing how to relate the two.keep in mind that I've just gotten comfortable with spittin things up and loading them from external swfs, etc.Lets say that I have a main.swf with a set of 3 buttons(self managed MovieClips actually) that each dynamically load 3 swfs with individual content The first of these sub movie clips(e.g. web.swff) has a set off say 3 thumbnails. I want to be able to have these thumbnails invoke the actions of the 3 buttons up in the main calling movie but I am not clear how to go about calling these functions when they are not in the same scope as the main move. I keep thinking that if I had these thumbnails in a clip within my main.but I still hit this same issue of making a correct reference.This is just a current example. If there is a simpler or better way to explain this kind of communication feel frer to ignore this example or tell me to just go read a tutorial somewhere
// snippet from main.flafunction click_web( e ) { var chl_mc:MovieClip = my_lc.add_content("web.swf");}
function click_motion( e ) { my_lc.add_content("motion.swf");}

Imagine the following setup. The main swf loads a child swf.In AS2 i would simply use _parent or _root to call the desired function. How can that be done in AS3?Can this still be done? Can I call a function on the main swf from the loaded one? How about the other way around, this time, from main to loaded swf?
View 1 RepliesI have two servers running FMS 4 (exacyly the same version). On one server, when i add a swf in the folder application/vod/SWFs, the swf is "added" 5 minutes later as authorized swf, according to the UpdateInterval config value. On the other i have to restart the server. I checked every config file of both server, they are exactly the same (except few values depending on the servers themselves, of course, like IP, host, etc...).Anyone has an idea on what could be the problem on the first server? This is very annoying since a restart disconnects all my customers!
