My homepage is fully in flash (CS4) as an swf file, auto-scaling with menubars top left and right. In the center I'd like to add a few standalone swf-files (interactive videos) - without other tabs or browser being opened.I'm trying to familiarize myself with Flash and ActionScript 3 but with this question I keep bumping into Flex and EMBED-code.Is there no way then to do this in a simple way (without Flex, packaging..)? I understood in Action 2 it was just a matter of loadmovie-function?The UrlRequest function I'm using now opens a whole new browserscreen which I'm trying to avoid as I'd prefer to have it all in one browserwindow.
We have a flex application which compiles fine on windows box using mxmlc ant task but when we try to run the same build scripts on linux, it throws the 'Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet' error indicating it is not able to resolve the path to the image files.
Can someone pls. educate me on if there is a difference in the way the image files are looked up, in a CSS file, on windows vs linux.
Flex sdk version is 3.3. The same sdk is used on both windows and linux. Not sure if this has been fixed by any future 3.x sdks.
Making a piano/keyboard application and trying to figure out the best way to set this up .I plan on having a directory of sounds for each 'instrument' in my assets folder (piano1/C4.mp3,piano1/D4.mpg,...)Is there a way to import/embed all of these as an array? Also is there a way I can pass a variable to this class to indicate which folder I want to import these from? Something that would be ideal
var type = "piano2"; //passed from class being called by foreach(notes as note){ [Embed(source = 'assets/sounds/'+type +'/'+note+'.mp3')] private const C3:Class; public var c3:Sfx = new Sfx(C3); }
Or would it be a better idea to have a class for each of these "types" that pulls all notes?
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.
I'm creating a wrapper SWF that needs to embed multiple swf's using the [Embed ] tag in Actionscript 3.How can i embed a custom swf when compiling a as3 project using the flex sdk, E.G:
I'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?
Is there any solution to dynamic fonts yet. I have tried to write classes and followed so much stuff on various blogs but none of them is working. For example, i'm using a font(which is not installed in most machines) say "abc" on my Input and other TextFields/Combos/Radio etc. Now no matter whatever i do, it uses some default font instead of "abc" if accessed from a PC in which this font isn't installed.
One (bad)solution is to embed fonts using the Embed button in "Properties" FOR EACH TEXT FIELd seperately and increase the file size? Still this way wouldn't work for Combos and radio Btns.
Is there a way to import a PDF into Flash and embed them as part of the content library? The goal of this would be to embed/hide the files in the library verses having them exposed on the root or inside a folder/director.
I have a Paul McCartney (hope I spelled that right) video that I've imported into Flash and want to play with subtitles scrolling along the bottom. (BTW-This is for educational purposes so I'm not worried about copyright infringement.) The size of the file is not important and I want to keep it monolithic so that I can give it to some of my other teachers in ONE file. So I have two buttons one for play/pause and one for stop and the movieclip's name is birthday.
The code that I'd like to use to execute the playback is:
Code: import fl.video.*; var isPlaying:Boolean = new Boolean(); var pausePosition:Number = new Number();
I have made a game that is a seperate .swf file from my flash website. How do I embed that .swf within the website. When I import it to library and drag it on to a page the game doesnt play, it just runs through the frames like a movie.
** edit the game reads from an xml file and also read and writes to mysql if that makes any difference?
I've started to use the embed metadata tags in my flash CS4 IDE based projects. I've hit a stumbling block though - how do you create a preloader if you use embed. I've googled for it and found flex based solutions but they do not seem to work from CS4 IDE based projects
I have a small problem when embedding an swf file in a flash cs4 project (adobe), when run, the embedded video loops continuously. If you play the swf file outside adobe flash, it doesn't loop.Any one know how i can stop the embedded file from looping?
I am trying to embed an SWF into an FLA (My website) I want to embed an SWF movie on page 4 of my website along with other content. There are a lot of tutorials on the web, but to be honest, I get so confused, a lof of them have errors so I figured i'd ask here if anyone knows of a good, simple tutorial on how to embed SWF in FLA.
What I need to do to use an external style sheet? Should it be a style sheet or an mxml file?I saw this tutorial, which offers quite a bit of good information (some of which I also found in the livedocs) via the comments.[code]...
When validating a site using w3c validator it tells me the embed tag is not valid markup. So i take it out and it works on safari/chrome but not firefox(3.5.x) but validates fine. Is there something in the object tag i must add in order for firefox to display flash.
If I put a simple png instead of swf, it gets displayed, aka it works ok.My project is in Flex Builder 3, SDK 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 I am not sure about the version of the embeded swf.
I'm trying to use the following script to embed a font in a CS3 flash file. When I publish and preview it, all I get is a blank screen :S Can someone tell me if this script is valid for AS3/CS3?[code]
I have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).
I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.
If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays
In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.
I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)
When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.
I have a flash which is embeded on an object tag. (or a div tag or whatever).below the embed swf I want to place a link to my website.how can I check from inside the swf that this is the usert who embed the swf didnt change the link or deleted it?
I must not be searching with the right term because I just can't find this. I did try.I have a simple slideshow SWF that I would like to share by letting people embed it in their own websites by clicking a button on the SWF (or somewhere on my website if need be) that copies the embed code to their clipboard. How do I add the button that copies the embed code to a user's clipboard? I'm using Flash CS4.
I am trying to embed a swf file, that came with images in folders, on a website. I don't have the original flash file. It works when I upload the file: [URL]
When I embed this code in our website, I get error message about the images.
