ActionScript 2.0 :: Trick A Website Into Using Editted Swf?
Mar 17, 2012
I'm a newbie when it comes to programming in Actionscript, I've recently learnt about the crosspolicy which has to be on the domain that I wish to use a .xml from via the swf. This is what my first bit of action code is.
I tried changing the my_XML.load to the full link of where the file is since i'm loading the SWF from another domain. but now that i've learnt of the crosspolicy I need another way around this, is there another way to gain access to the .xml or any other files on the website?
One way I was going to try was to use fiddler, once the SWF loaded I expected a request at grabbing the xml file from the website, nothing came up on fiddler though so I couldn't edit the XML file either to my needs. Please can anyone come up with a solution, or atleast explain why it couldn't work?
I would like to do the following trick in a browser:
Create three image files of different size (small, medium, large) from one picture.
First, display the small image in a browser. When a user zooms in the small image replace it with the medium one. Now the user can scroll it within the window up and down, left and right. When a user zooms out the small image replace it with the small one, etc.
I would prefer JavaScript (Flash is the second option). What tool would you recommend ?
Since this is my first post here, I'd like to say hi to you all, and glad to be where I can share both enthuisasm and possible issues with Adobe Flash in general.And, regarding this first post, I'll be more than glad if someone could help me with this.It's a simple straight forward issue: Can a link of "Settings" inside Context (Right Click) Menu be placed in a movie as a simple link that opens it in a same manner (as in pic 2)?
I want to use a flash preloader for my php website. I have seen some javascript examples; but I want something attractive and cool. So I want use flash preloader which will show the percentage of the website loaded.My website is kinda heavy(with lot of images). It looks bad when the contents load. So I want to show a flash preloader while the site loads.
am i publishing the movie incorrectly? It works great when I preview the flash file (cntrl+enter), but after I publish it and insert it into the html (in dreamweaver), the file shows up and animates perfectly, but when clicked, no link... It doesn't do anything
I have 2 websites both built entirely in flash.My problem is that I have created a button on 1 of the sites that has to link to a particular scene and frame within a different flash website.
I've just about got my first site finished, but am having a few issues with publishing it, firstly, I can't get any browser to load it with a scroll bar - if it goes beyond the dimensions of the page the viewer is unable to see anything which is cropped.Secondly the alignment is fine in firefox, but totally off in safari and internet explorer.And lastly (and its a biggy) I can't work out which files and which order of files to upload to my server in order to get the damn thing live!
I am trying to figure out how to a .pdf to flash file so far. I want to be bale to display it on a page, so when clients click it the can downlaod it or it will pop up in their acrobat reader.
I have created and published a flash movie for my website using Flash CS3 that I inserted into the website using Dreamweaver CS3, I did this by choosing insert, media, flash within DW.....upon upload of the site, it will not play, although I can play the html file and the swf file as a standalone, it will not play within my website.
I have created a slideshow based solely on actionscript and a bit of XML. It includes a delay which dictates when the pictures fade in/ out. When I view the .swf on my computer the slideshow works perfectly. But, when the slideshow is put on my website the delay is not correct, meaning some pictures transition too fast or sometimes too slow, depending on which computer/browser is being used.
I have tried publishing the file in flash versions 7 - 9.
There are only 15 pictures that need to be loaded, each less than 50kb, so I don't think that really matters. The file size of the .swf file is less than 1kb, so I don't think that has any effect either.
So, I was wondering if there is anything that I may need to add to the code to make sure that things flow smoothly? Or is there some publish setting that I need to change?

just finished a postgrad in web design and multimedia and want to start working on a few sites for a portfoilio, think it would help with jobs etc
I have a site at the mo with a banner in flash but i know that there are sites out there that use flash more in depth. ive seen pretty much whole sites done with flash before but have no idea how to do it! I could get something interatctive with buttons etc in flash cs3 but would have no idea how to display it all in a webpage, create a link from flash to the html or whatever so when a button was clicked it'd take the user to a different page...etc
I am wondering how hard it would be to write some script that paned my website horizontally either with a scroll bar at the bottom or by clicking the empty space and dragging?
I recently made a website and the links for the main page do not seem to link properly to their rightful pages when I put the site online (but it does work well when Im just testing the site on my computer in my Flash program) I know that the website I made is very large - so I was wondering if that could be a reason for why the pages don't load properly - also one of the pages links to another site and although that seems to work on my swf when I play it in my Flash player - it doesn't work when I put it online-
Finally my sound quality is not that great for the site. The songs are in mp3 format - would it be better to make them .wav files?
Or are all these problems related and its just that my computer does not have enough power to convert this massive flash website into a proper swf file? If this is my problem. What do I do?
I have been designing a website for a client entirely on flash 8 and I am almost ready to hook it up with an actual host, right now it's just set up on yola, which is a free host so that my client can see all the changes i've made, to the design and information. But I tried to view the website on Internet Explorer and it doesn't work at all. It just shows that square circle and triangle in the top left hand corner. How can I fix this before I set it up perminatley?
I am not sure if this is considered flash but how can I add a form customized that I would like to add to a website so clients can fill out and submit via email? Is there a program to do this task.
I want to duplicate a flash website (no copyright issue, work assigned by the owner of the website). The only change I am required to do is to change each and every text in language A to language B.

I am trying to make a website out of flash and I know nothing about what to do but i am just going to try it one step at a time.

I've recently made a website for a friend and she wants a video to play on one of the frames. It is in the library and the video plays when i test the movie on my laptop, however, I have now uploaded the .swf file website to a host along with the video and it isn't playing. Any ideas how to sort this out? Not completely sure myself! Using Flash CS4 with Actionscript 2.0 if that makes any difference to anything.
I have created my website with flash pro cs5 and when i open my html it looks okay but when i upload it to my server host and view swf file it looks smaller in myindex html

I'm in the process of making a flash based website, and I want its viewers to see a certain .flv file I have seperate from the .swf I'm hosting on the domain name. Since the sound is off if I import the .flv file directly into the timeline, I'm wondering if there are any other options? I own the domain name and webhosting service at godaddy.com. Can anybody walk me through a process, step by step, that might work?
