I'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.
Is 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.
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?
Let me give the context first. A user opens a local html file which has a reference to a network url of an swf file to embed.
(1) If the embed swf requests a local image file , will Flash allow the request?
(
2) If the embed swf requests an image file on a non local url other than one of the swf file, will Flash check a crossdomain.xml file on the url?
is it possible to hide your .swf file so that it can not be taken.Is there a way to protect it?

View 9 RepliesI have this swf file, i don't have the .fla file for it. I need it to be able to play in my current .fla file when called upon. I also really need it to be embedded. Don't ask me why, but the client wants only one swf file, and if i load the swf in as an external file the program they use, will not be able to display this loaded swf file. My flash file works perfectly when i load it in as external and put it into a movieclip, but that's just not what my client wants.So i was thinking of embedding it, i don't know if i'm thinking of this in the wrong way, and maybe you all have some suggestions for me. I don't know how to embed it. i'm using flash cs3 and ActionScript 3. I tried importing it straight to my library and to my stage, but i end up with just a couple of graphic images that don't work at all. I've tried everything i know of, read all threats i could find about it, but it seems embedding is impossible or just not done. what could i do to fix this?

View 1 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:

But it generates errors:

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 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 2 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();

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 RepliesWe'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 imported a .mov file into a .swf file and it works great. Then I embedded the .swf file into a web page. Again, it seemed to work fine--at least works fine when I open it in a browser locally. However, after I upload everything to the server, the .swf file seems to be okay, but the embedded video no longer works. I triple checked that all of the links are correct, all of the files are uploaded (including the embedded video) but nothing works.

I am trying to embed a swf file into another swf file in order to learn how to make a complete flash site but am having a little trouble doing it. I successfully used the loadmovie file to embed another swf file into my original but the effect only last for a minute. After that, if I try to press on the other buttons to embed another swf file, nothing happens. The following is a code I am using for one of the buttons.

I'm writing the following code to embed an swf file into php file.

so.write("flashcontent");[/AS]
but I don't know how to access the variable "varurl" that i've added in the second line above. In flash 8 with AS2, I would just use _root.varurl. But it doesn't seem to work in AS3.

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");

[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.
