View 1 RepliesI would like to embed an external video into Flash. the video is located on URL...I saw on youTube a lot of code for embedding the video. How exactly do I put it into flash.I am guessing I have to use the UILoader, but then there is no room for all the code?Where would I put it all in flash/
View 2 RepliesDoes anybody know how to embed an external HTML page into Flash? I am envisioning something like an iFrame, but can't really figure how this would work. I've attempted using a scrollpane, but it didn't work at all.
View 5 RepliesI'm naturally a PHP coder, but I have to use flash for a part of a project.I was wondering if I have files such as mainsite.swf and page1content.swf, is there a way to simply include the page1content.swf file into a predefined area on the mainsite.swf file (as in PHP's include)?Also, would it be possible to use this flash "include" to embed external swf's?Finally, ideally I'd be able to merge these files together, but from what I've read, it's a tricky business, with filenames, referencing etc, so this is optional.

View 1 RepliesWhat the correct way to call a parent from an embed SWF. In my case I am building a project in flashdevlop but embedding swfs for a few nav elements and I need those to either dispatch an event or call a method so it cant change pages. Best case is calling my "Main" instance. For example "Main.theMethod()" not sure if Main is seen by the embeded swf, I know in as3 I could call _root and get it, not so sure in as3.
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to embed Flash completely in HTML, without reference to an external SWF file? I ask because I would like to send an HTML file as an email attachment that the recipient will open in a browser and fill out as a form. The last step is that they will copy the result to their clipboard, paste it into a new message, and email it back. I cannot reliably copy to the clipboard with JavaScript because of the security issues, but there are simple Flash apps to add that capability.
I know I could just display the response text (which will be Base64 encoded) to the recipient and have them copy/paste, but it would be nice to provide this small convenience to them. Also, so you are aware, the text is often too large to include in an email using mailto. Yes. This needs to be done via email. The users have slow, occasional satellite email access and no other data connection to the interwebs. To make things worse, I cannot make them install anything. It is a difficult situation.
What I have:A swf exports a function via ExternalInterfaceJavascript creates new embed object and adds it to the documentCalling flash functions works fine in other browsersCalling flash functions will fail in IE 8Example of exporting functions in swf:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("isActive", ...
Example of creating the embed object:
var b = document.createElement('embed');
[code].....
Everytime I try to do even an
ExternalInterface.call('alert','abc');
(Which will work on every browser) I get an
object doesn't support this property or method
After the alert appears. It even happens in the HTML generated by flash without me touching it...
I've created a button in my stage. I've set the instance name to init and have the MainTimeline being called from an an external script[code]...
View 2 RepliesI am talking about doing something like this: [URL]
from flash by using ExternalInterface probably
I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?
I'm trying to edit some flash to make an external javascript function call, but with no success. Here's my actionscript 2.0 code:
[Code]....
I've seen lots of examples and I'm mainly confused about the use of ExternalInterface.addCallback. I don't need the javascript to return anything to flash, so is this necessary? For whatever reason, I never see the alert. Does anyone see any problems in my code? Is there some ExternalInterface library I don't have? Also, what's the BEST way to use ExternalInterface (ie; error checking, etc.)
I am using the following line before my class declaration .
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsVERDANA.TTF", fontName="VERDANA", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype", flashType = true)]
But there is no change in the appearance of the Text whatsoever.. I need the text to be crisp and clear.Just like the way it looks when we embed the fonts using the Embed... Button in the Flash IDE.
just trying to embed an external swf into main fla. Please give me a starting point. Do I create an empty MC? Is there a standard code to upload in AS? If so what would I code and where in AS would I insert?
View 2 RepliesI am experimenting on embedding external fonts. I found this example on the webbut it does not work for me. Anyone tried it? I just changed "somefont" to a font that exists on my system like AGENCYB.TTF:
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsAGENCYB.TTF", fontFamily="foo")]
But it generates errors:
unable to resolve 'C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf' for transcoding

I am sure someone has asked this question before but I could not find any answers that were given in AS 3.0. I want to embed an external HTML file into a window in an SWF presenetation for school. I also think it would make having a flash site easier to update. Basically I want to have a box on the screen that looks to a HTML file for text and maybe images and then displays them inside that window. How would I go about this or is there a better, easier way to do it? I might also like to be able to scroll down that document once its in the window but that can come later
View 4 RepliesI've come across a stumbling block. Basically, I need to embed an external swf file into my current fla file.
The swf file relies on a bit of javascript and runs OK separately.
However, I want the swf to be embedded in my final fla file.
I don't have access to the code for the swf because it is a purchased item.
I was thinking can we like directly load an external flv through embed link into a string into an empty movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to play an external .flv in a .swf and embed in a webpage. I feel like I'm doing everything correctly and everytime I create it, it works offline. When I upload all the files online, nothing shows up. When I right click on the live webpage where the file should be playing it sees the swf, it's just playing and/or displaying anything.
View 1 RepliesI typically embed the fonts in a library and use it this way but sometimes this gives me issues. I'm using Flash Pro CS5 and I'm trying the Embed method. I've seen many blogs/posts (here, here, here, here, etc in order of which my problems arose) but none of them are working for me. I'm getting the transcode error issue.
Can anyone shed more light on what the Error: Unable to transcode 'some/path/to/a.ttf' transcoding error is? Im sure the path is right, I've tried embedding with and without various options like mimeType, I can't get it to embed the font, or any font for that matter. Tips on embedding a font? My code would typically look like this:
[Embed(source="dat/SomeFont.ttf", fontFamily="SomeFont", mimeType="application/x-font")] var SomeFontClass:Class; var SomeFont:Font = SomeFontClass();
desperate for some assistance in getting two bits of script to combine... Can anyone help please? I want to be able to apply an embedded font to an externally loaded .txt file. I have named the dynamic text field 'myText', but the code that embeds the font wants me to enter the words. Both work individually, but they won't combine:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
// the data is loaded in the myLoadVars object as a property of the object
myText.htmlText = myLoadVars.topHTMLdata;
[Code]...
We're building a player with the ultimate goal of allowing others to embed our projects (viewed via this player) on their blogs, etc. Currently, I'm adding long-overdue tracking code to the player so we can track people's usage of it.Since Google Analytics tracking requires a javascript function to be embedded on the page along with the swf, and is accessed via an AS ExternalInterface command, what's the best way to handle this when it comes to letting others embed our swf, but still wanting to track?
View 5 RepliesI've been experimenting with learning game coding and have encountered an issue I'm curious about...
At the moment I have 3 GIFs and 1 sound effect being used, with more to come. Now, is it more recommended to embed these files, which I'm been doing, or is it better to load them externally? To be honest, I really hate the idea of having to load them and would much prefer to embed them directly in to my project. What is the general consensus as to which technique is better?
I have the following working code that puts a you tube video onto the stage, but how do I embed it into a movie clip?
//code
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
var my_playerbject;
[Code].....
On our own website, it's easy to protect against direct links to our video content by grabbing a token through AJAX and verifying the token through PHP before the file download is started.
However I'm also researching how I could provide an embed feature, like YouTube or vimeo etc., without compromising this security feature.
The problem is that the embed code I want to provide should look something like <object>...<embed>...</embed></object> -- but I don't know how to grab and append the token to the filename. I mean, I guess I could attach a script that did some gnarly JNOP business, but that's too dirty.I'm using JW Player for the actual video container.

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a Flash game where the game levels are saved in small plain-text files, which I want to embed in the swf file. My current solution has a distinct code smell in its repetition, and I'm certain that there is a better way. My code is basically: In a LevelLoader class, embed all the levels
[Embed( source="levels/1.dat", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )]
protected var level1:Class;
[Embed( source="levels/2.dat", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )][code].......
There are a couple of problems with this approach: I have to add a line for embedding each level. Optimally, all files in a folder would be automatically embedded.A level can't be "prepared" from a string. I'd like to be able to pass LevelLoader a level number or level name as a string.I think that all strings are stored in memory rather than on disk.How could I program this "correctly"?
