We're seeking to pass current location within an environment to our SWF which is dynamically loading an XML file. Our movie is playing in a webSphere environment using (JSP). We need something that passes a value from the calling embed script into the SWF with either the swfObject embed code. It does not work without a literal path.

I'm using SWFObject to embed Flash Videos. Is there a way to get notified as soon as the user hits some specific time marks of the embedded video? I.e. get a notification from the Browsers Flash Plugin?
My goal is to change the page content at specific times of the embedded video.
i'm trying to pass flashvars using swfobject
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE:

is it possible to send native nested objects to flash via swfobject? i am trying this right now without luck:
PHP Code:
var flashvars = {event1:{eventid:"145",title:"event 1",toggle:["thistha","timestart"]},
event2:{eventid:"145",title:"event 1",toggle:["thistha","timestart"]},
event3:{eventid:"145",title:"event 1",toggle:["thistha","timestart"]}}

I'm trying to create a drag motion by using mouse_down then the mc = mouseX. Here is an image of the situation
But when I click, the mc always jumps to its registration point, which is the top left corner atm.
I can't work my head around how to grab the current location of the mc. Note that the mc (all_mc) is wider than the stage.
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent) {
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
}
[Code]....
Ok I kind of worked out the x location of the mouse in relation to the registration point of the mc (the registration is at the top left):
Math.abs(stage.x - all_mc.x) + mouseX
But how to I select that point of on the mc?

View 4 RepliesI've creating a site that has a long horizontal line of fullscreen background images. Currently, moving the mouse left and right scrolls the images right and left.
I also have left and right arrows also for cycling through the images. I have several arrays with various bits of data about the images to help with the cycling. 1 array contains all the widths of the images Another contains all the x positions of the containerClips within image_mc.
The images are in a mc like so
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip0
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip2
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip3
....
mcholder is on the root.
What I would like to do, is instead of continuous scrolling left and right, I only want the user to be able to scroll about 20-30px past each image, (I'm guessing based on the current image_mc._x
When a user clicks an image it tweens into place and onComplete function stores the current image_mc._x value in a currentImageX var.
I'm not sure how to this to limit my left and right scrolling when not clicking.
My current scrolling code is this.

View 8 RepliesI'm just getting into web design and I'm trying to make a few things work with embedding video onto a webpage. I have some video I shot and edited in Avid and I used a video converter to convert the avi into a swf file.
I followed the swfobject and google to code up the html. However, when I play the file in Firefox, the video plays but doesn't include the stop/pause buttons nor the scrubber button or volume control. Is there something else I need to do?When I upload the videos to youtube or vimeo it has the controls but I would like to keep the videos on my website.
During the bet (for the small few that had one), apparently it was mentioned that flash will publish it's html files using swfobject, but I publish, i don't see swfobject. Does anyone have any info on this or is it a rumor?

I have a flashGallery.swf file that I am loading into my flash site. I need to set the parameters for the xml, content, and php script paths as well as set the width and height for the swf. The parameters were originally set in the HTML file like so:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">var so = new SWFObject("flashgallery.swf", "gallery", "425", "320", "8"); // Location of swf file. You can change gallery width and height here (using pixels or percents).so.addParam("quality", "high");so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");so.addVariable("content_path","http://www.flickr.com/photos/thestoryboxallstar/"); //

I want to access the javascript method using SWFObject and give its parameter.
I am experiencing some difficulty in having the flash content show on this page. I have checked the code and the paths and everything appears to be correct. I have another page in the same directory as the swf file and it works fine so I know that swfobject and the swf file are working properly. Any ideas why the swf file is not showing properly in the first page?

Is it possible to target and style the div that swfobject (2.1) creates to display flash content?
Basically I want to be able to set a background image to appear in a header div, and then load a tranparent swf file over the top using swfobject. But swfobject doesnt seem to have any reference to the div that it creates when displaying flash content.. only the alternate content div.
I have a flash SWFObject on a pafge and i want to make the background transparent so that the base HTML background shows through. This is my code:
var so = new SWFObject("images/topnav.swf", "flash", "100%", "100%", "6","#000000");
so.addVariable("xml", "data.xml?time="+new Date().getTime())
so.write("flashcontent");

View 3 RepliesIve been trying to include an swf with buttons, that plays .flv videos, into this html page: [URL] (feel free to view source) Im having trouble because i think the swf 'links' to flv files, and neither are in the same directory as the html page - the swf is just not showing up. i dont want to duplicate the swf and its corresponding flash files if theyre already hosted once by this client - does anyone have a solution, or is the problem actually something else? the swf files can be downloaded at: [URL]
