View 2 RepliesI habitually create my websites with a stage size of 950 x 580. They tend to appear slightly small in any browser which is ok because they can all normally be "zoomed-in" on using the browser zoom functions.
I have just created a site which loads several external .swf's into a main movie clip and the browser zoom works fine UNTIL I incorporate a further .swf which was created from a PDF file (using swfTools - pdf2swf).
This seems to disable the normal browser zoom with the effect that everything is just moved up and left a little rather than remaining centred and enlarging.
loadVariablesNum("testimonials.txt", 0);
gotoAndPlay("load");
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.
The navigation on a website I am designing is an swf file embedded inside another swf file, the latter being the body of the site. The navigation buttons are themselves embedded inside movie clips inside the embedded swf file...
I'm sure I'm missing some sort of line of programming, however my actionscript skills are rudimentary at best. I have assigned a simple goto webpage behavior on each of the buttons. However, when I look at the site all put together, they do not work.
can i embedded two class file into main.fla file?
View 0 RepliesNow then, I am working on a game and I've come across a problem that I simply cannot figure out. I have a symbol with the instance name of "textbox" (genius, no?) and I have a button with no instance name. Now, within the "textbox" symbol, I have two frames; one of which is named "descentlava". When the aforementioned button is clicked, I need the "textbox" symbol to gotoAndStop on the "descentlava" frame. My feeble mind managed to whip up the following code for the button:
on (release) {
_root["textbox"].gotoAndStop("descentlava");
}
Unfortunately, this does not work and frankly, I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out all on my own. Anyone feel like they could offer some assistance?PS: Not sure if this changes anything, but I feel I should mention that the button and the "textbox" symbol are both within ANOTHER symbol with no instance name. Perhaps this is whats causing the problem, but taking everything out onto the stage is a big no-no. It must be contained within the symbol.
I'm doing my final year uni project (1 week left) and having trouble with some actionscripting and xml.Basically I have all the usual AS coding sorted out for my XML data and it's working fine but what I want to do is replace the xml file with another xml file depending on what button (I have 25 different files/buttons to do) is pressed.
So button 1 will put in: xmlFile.load("button1.xml")Button 2 will replace the above scripting with: xmlFile.load("button2.xml")
Is this possible? I don't want to create 25 instances/frames of the full xml text as the xml datat is displayed on an animation and it would significantly increase the file size.
I am using e4x/as3 - Embedded XML in .as file - not caching?
View 5 RepliesIf I use a wierd or obscure font in my flash project, then I dont have to worry about the user having the same font installed, because it gets embedded in the SWF, correct? Or does it depend on something? If so, what?
Also, what about fonts getting embedded in the FLA file? If I use a wierd or obscure font in a flash project I'm working on, and then I pass off the FLA to a friend to finish the project, does he need the font installed? Or is it in the FLA file already? how this stuff worked but I sent the FLA to a friend and now hes asking for the font. I was sure it would be embedded.what is a good way to test that the fonts get embedded in the SWF? Do I have to uninstall the font inquestion and view the SWF and see if its still using the font?
I am new to flash and I don't understand much about action script. I want to open one swf file from another using a button I have called ready_set_go. The project is not going to go into html format I only want to open the file locally. What is the code I need to do this?
View 0 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!!
Basically I have an embedded SWF file inside another which has a scroll bar (AS2 component). The whole project was created using Flash CS4 in AS2. Sometimes when the page is accessed the scroll bar is gone and the content of the embedded SWF extends outside of it's fixed sized container. I have not been successful in determining the cause but it seems to happen more frequently on a client's PC which is lacking in the performance department. I am wondering if it is a loading issue, where maybe the embedded file is loading faster than it's container. [URL]

View 5 RepliesI used dreamweaver to insert a swf file into an HTML page. That page and the embedded swf file works fine locally on my computer.
After the HTML page and the swf file have been uploaded to my web server, the swf no longer loads on the HTML page. Both files are in the same folder, just like they were locally.
Code:
<body>
<div align="center">

how to disable the 'hotspot' attribute of an embedded swf file?
I would like the following swf to be non-clickable (just left mouse button)

As you can see, when you click on the slideshow, it stops and turns to a white block.
There must be a way to print from the File menu of a browser and get the embedded swf file to print in place in the html page.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

I have a Flash site that has two separate areas of navigation: "root.swf" is the main file and by default loads "welcome.swf". If you click on one of three other links in "root", it takes you to one of those three pages.
I need to have various .flv files play individually on command from the timeline (when separate buttons are clicked), but I need those to load externally but appear as though they are a part of "welcome.swf". [code]...
I have CS3.I encode my video with the Encoder, then I import it into Flash. From there, I cannot figure out how to make the embedded flv file to loop.
View 5 RepliesI'm using InDesign to create an interactive SWF of a document.
For normal Flash projects, I can create an executable (*.exe) file that includes the Flash codec so that the viewer doesn't need to install Flash beforehand.
Can I create something similar for the SWF file created by InDesign?
I'm using CS5 Design Premium. Intermediate knowledge in InDesign, basic in Flash, will likely need clear steps.
[Embed(source="data/fire.swf")] static public var movieFire:Class;
I have some multiframe swf file and I want to have control of them. For example, I can use gotoandplay and gotoandstop functionality.
I tried something like: var m:MovieClip = new movieFire() as MovieClip; but it turns out when I tried to get totalFrames, m.totalFrames, it gives me zero, and gotoand* functions don't work either. How can I correctly control the swf file embedded in actionsript 3.0 (No Flex component)?
I 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">
[Code]....
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?

I have a Flash file in which I want to embed a font, but the licence terms for that font mean I can only embed it in a file if that file is security protected to be non-editable. Assuming this means I need to take some sort of precautions to prevent the file being decompiled and the font extracted, is there any way of enforcing this?
Note: I don't care about the code itself being public, I just don't want the font file to be available.
I've got a game I made just to play with AS3. But I'm having an issue with the sound. Playing the swf file will play the sound, but when embedded I hear nothing. The code for calling the sound:
Code:
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundLoaderContext;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
