View 4 RepliesOpen PDFs From Flash Presentation?
Mar 27, 2009I've been tasked with making a fairly simple Flash presentation that will be published to an exe and put onto a jump drive. I've done this before and at the time I just used the getURL command (IIRC) to open a PDF with a button click. I literally have 100's of PDFs to link to so I was wondering if there is a better way to do it (before I start using my old method) I'm using AS3 in Flash CS5. And I am NOT a big Flash user so maybe I just need to resort to the way i did it last time. Was just thinking there might be a more elegant way to approach this...that a novice could handle.

Jan 4, 2011In my application I need to load PDFs dynamically and store each page of the PDF. Currently what I'm doing is converting each page to an image using some php code and then importing each image to flash, but I was wondering if there is a better way. Or is converting to images then importing to flash the best option?
View 2 RepliesActionscript :: Flash FTE - Creating PDFs Out Of Rendered Output, And Selectable Text In PDF?
Feb 12, 2011I wrote a huge post first but thought I shouldn't drop a wall of text here. Here's a summary of a problem that I'm hoping you all can provide some insight in:I have a web app for a client which uses Flash text engine api (not TLF) to layout some text in a report.The text requirements are specific so we like using FTE for typography.Now that the text is looking perfect to the client, how do I make what I'm seeing on screen into a pdf that looks identical?Tried purepdf or alivepdf sprite->bitmap->pdf approach... terrible results - we need resolution independenceLooked at purepdf api - doesn't seem to be a way of converting the final sprite output directly to the pdf.... seems like it'll require me to use their own API for typesetting / layout... which defeats the purpose of using FTE to do this (we'd lose kerning / ligatures etc that way?)Finally using the flash -> print -> using postscript driver like pdfconverter or cutepdf -> pdf ........ this is great because the pdf looks exactly like display and is vector-output (res-independent), BUTUsing FTE, the pdf created this way doesn't have selectable text in pdf! flash TextFields -> pdf do retain selectability. Basically pdfconverter doesn't embed the fonts in the pdf when FTE is used... it DOES embed the fonts in a pdf made the same way with same fonts in MS Word or something
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash FTE - Creating PDFs From Rendered Output And Selectable Text In PDF?
Feb 12, 2011- I have a web app for a client which uses Flash text engine api (not TLF) to layout some text in a report. The text requirements are specific so we like using FTE for typography. Now that the text is looking perfect to the client, how do I make what I'm seeing on screen into a pdf that looks identical?
- Tried purepdf or alivepdf sprite->bitmap->pdf approach... terrible results - we need resolution independence Looked at purepdf api - doesn't seem to be a way of converting the final sprite output directly to the pdf.... seems like it'll require me to use their own API for typesetting / layout... which defeats the purpose of using FTE to do this (we'd lose kerning / ligatures etc that way?) Finally using the flash -> print -> using postscript driver like pdfconverter or cutepdf -> pdf ........ this is great because the pdf looks exactly like display and is vector-output (res-independent), BUT Using FTE, the pdf created this way doesn't have selectable text in pdf! flash TextFields -> pdf do retain selectability. Basically pdfconverter doesn't embed the fonts in the pdf when FTE is used... it DOES embed the fonts in a pdf made the same way with same fonts in MS Word or something
1- How do I get the text to be selectable in the PDF created from FTE > postscript method
2- (If not that) - How can I create a PDF from flash where the PDF is identical to what I'm seeing on screen - basically doing a direct final-rendered-Sprite to PDF .... if there's a way to make that PDF manually, then maybe I can embed the fonts manually...
Some context:
- How we're using fonts - they're SWF's created from teh fonts using [embed] and embedAsCFF=true for use in FTE
- I thought of using FTE only for typesetting / layout - and when we get the TextLines, using the good old flash...TextField (which does become selectable in final pdf) .... but I cant do that because some of our textlines have several variations of font styles and inline (GraphicElement) images on the same line.... I think its impossible to detect all of those variation can create the appropriate number of textfields?

Jun 9, 2011I'm constructing a website in Flash that is based on a DVD I'd put together in Director a few years ago.
One of the major components is PDFs files that need to be printed out. I've spent the last couple of days trying to find a solution, but seem to keep hitting brick walls.
It seems that most solutions only work with projectors running from cds rather than swfs on websites.There's been a couple of snippetts I've tried that are based on opening the pdfs in a new browser window. Aside from the fact that none of them have worked so far, a new browser window is not the ideal solution.I've set up the pdfs so they open the Print dialogue as now as they open in Acrobat. So what I really need is a way to get them open in Acrobat from Flash using AS3 (or whatever else may be the solution).

View 8 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Instances Of Single External SWF - Loading PDFs
Nov 13, 2008I'm trying to make a custom PDF viewer in flash. Currently I've found a freeware server side script that will convert the PDF into a single Flash AS3 SWF file with each page from the PDF on a new frame. Loading this is no problem. I can navigate through the pages with a simple gotoAndStop(frame); call.
Here's my problem: I want to display more then one page at a time. I want to be able to scroll through the pages and see one page going off the top of the screen while the next is coming up from below. So, how can I put multiple instances of this SWF on the stage? Do I have to load it with a loader and URLRequest multiple times? or can I make copies of the one I've already got somehow?
I still have to load PDF in flash, but if I could find a better way to create an SWF out of the PDF. I'm currently using pdf2swf and it's great and all. Maybe there is some functionality to that program that I'm missing. Some other way to organize the PDF pages in the SWF.

IDE :: Flash / Photoshop - Preserving Quality Of Original JPGs
Feb 2, 2008Why, when I have a very sharp photo that was saved/resized from Photoshop (a jpg) that I open in Preview (mac image viewing app) it looks perfect, as it should look, but once I import it to Flash with lossless and high quality settings, it looses some of its saturation and a little bit of darkness? I'm STILL working on my friend's photo site and this is a problem she first brought up. I don't know what to do, none of my flash books cover this for CS3. I'll have to totally restructure this site to have the photos dynamically loaded if I can't resolve this problem within Flash.. or between Photoshop and Flash. I just tested externally loading one of these images. Same damn problem. There must be some setting necessary that I'm missing. Maybe the color profile of the image when saved from Photoshop before Flash handles it?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader For Xml / Ext - Jpgs (mx04)

(surprise!) ... it doesn't work. Let me add at this point that I'd consider myself a "very casual" ActionScripter (if there is such a thing), meaning that most of the time, I try to learn as I go along, without any *real* background knowledge. Here's my situation - methinks it's rather straightforward: SWF file (project.swf), XML file (config.xml) and a bunch of jpgs all in the same directory - nothing exotic so far. Here's the AS I (try to) use in my SWF file to load the xml and the imgs therein:

View 2 RepliesReducing File Size When .JPGs Are Included?
Dec 10, 2009At my job I frequently have to create Flash banners for major newspaper's websites. The specs that usually come in require a max file size of 30k or so. Usually my art department will hand me 3 or 4 screens that they want to simply move through in a loop. No biggie, until they start adding images to the files.
When I complain to them that the images are making the file sizes too big I am usually queried as to how other advertisers on these sites have full video in their ads. I understand that there are pre-loaders as well as allowed larger file sizes if you pay more for the ads.
getting image sizes down in Flash so that the images don't end up looking horrible?
