View 1 Repliesi have a very frustrating problem, which occurs only in safari:the main.swf loads an external swf-file.alas in safari this does not work. Movie clipLoader throws out an URLNotFound with httpstatus:0.
View 2 RepliesI have a html page that has a flash movie embedded in it. In the movie, when a button is pressed, it passes variables to a PHP script, processes them and then sends the variables back to the movie (all behind the scenes)... It works perfectly in Firefox, but in Safari 2.0.4 (for mac) nothing happens when I press that button...looking at the 'Activity' window in Safari, it shows the url to the php file and beside it '0 bytes of ?' indicating that it can't locate or process the page properly.
Has anyone else encountered this?
The strangest thing is that I just tested it on my older mac laptop which has Safari 1.3.2 on it, and it worked fine! ... I've never had problems with php on the 2.0.4 version of Safari before (being run on an intel iMac) ... and I tried it on another iMac in here, and it didn't work on it either!... so it must just be that version of Safari for some reason..? and I also tested this file on a PC with both IE and Firefox and it worked fine..so I'm confused as to what could be going on.
it opens up just fine on the direct swf url http[url]....but once embedded, it doesn't load the first page- http:[url]...this is the embedding source

Example: a vendor returned a Chinese version of an SWF demo with a file size of 14,692kb. Some clients report load times up to 4 or 5 minutes and some time out.
The vendor claims they have embedded only the characters needed for the copy in the demo, however when we ran the SWF files through a decompiler we found embedded Chinese character sets with up to 21,000 glyphs (the entire Chinese alphabet, + characters in other alphabets like Arabic).
My question, would a 14.5 MB SWF file, with 2 sets of embedded Chinese fonts, each with glyph counts of 21,000+ (for a total glyph count of over 43,000), take several minutes to load from the web?
I'm working on a project where an flv will be embedded into the flash timeline and graphics will be animated overtop. My video is going to be around 3 minutes long, what's the best way to load this with out the view sitting idle while the entire piece loads?
View 6 RepliesI wrote a program in C# that, when a user press a button, opens a new form containing an embedded flash object. The flash application needs the user to be logged in, so i added to the source something like
swf.SetVariable("__ses", sid);
This works fine for 2 user testing the application, while the third one can succesfully open one table, while all the others appear "black", just like if the loader can't get past the loading step.
I have a bitmap and I want to load it externally. Since flash cannot understand the format when directly loading it from a server - I want to turn it into a PNG in Photoshop. Because Flash understands PNG. When importing the BMP to Flash stage/library it has an alpha channel and it works properly. When opening in Photoshop it is a flat bitmap without any transparency. The problematic bitmap itself is here: Is there anything I can do with it to turn it into a PNG or GIF that has alpha? I want it to load from the server and not be embedded to the swf.
View 3 RepliesI followed the loading embedded SWF file tutorial and it works fine. I followed the loading external data dynamic text box tutorial and it works fine.... My problem lies when I combine them both. My main.swf contains an embedded about.swf. The about.swf contains a dynamic text box that reads an external text file. by its self, the about.swf works fine. For some frustrating reason (probably super simple), I cant see the dynamic text when I load my main.swf. On my main.swf the dynamic text scroll bar even able to scroll (as if something was there), but I cant see it or highlight it with my mouse.!
View 3 RepliesI have 2 .swf files.#2 will be dynamically loading into #1.
Lets say the stage size of #1 is 600x400.
Lets say the stage size of #2 is 800x600.
Is it possible to load a larger .swf file (#2) into a smaller one (#1), and somehow see the whole thing? As in, not crop the embedded file to the dimensions of the smaller "containing" file?
I have been searching the web and all of the codes I have found are to play external swf files that have a timeline. The file that I am trying to load does not have a timeline. I am using the Flixel framework for this project and the file that I want to play is also made in Flixel(don't have the source file just the swf file).Most of the code I have is from a cutscene template that I found on the Flixel forum. Here is what I have so far:
package
{
import org.flixel.FlxState;
import org.flixel.FlxG;
[code]....
When I run this I get this error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert SponsorsState_SwfClass@fb5161 to flash.display.MovieClip., all I want to do is play the swf file for a set frame count then move onto the next state.
I can view it in my browser by going directly to the file however when it is embedded the photos will not load. The images it loads has to be in the same directory as the .swf file and as i stated it clearly works when going directly to the file but not once it has been embedded.
View 1 RepliesI have my main stage, and into this main stage I am embedding another .swf file (multiple instances on a map). I would like to be able to load dynamic text from an array (addressA) on the main stage into the embedded .swf - can this be done?
Here is what I have tried, and failed with:
1) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA;
2) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, creating a variable on the main stage of var embed = {url:'embed.swf'};, and writing AS in the main stage for embed.markeraddy_txt.text = addressA.
3) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA[i];
Code:
addressA = [];
function parseXML(){ addressA.push(this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);

I have a block of html text which is displayed to the user in a TextArea. Currently, the I have embedded the HTML as an XML object within one of my classes, but this seems like a terrible design. I would like to put the HTML in an embedded file and load it into an XML or String object.
I've tried to search for how to do this, but my searches return information on embedding images and fonts, not text which can be loaded into Strings.
Is it possible to embedded text or xml files and load them into variables in Flex?
I posted a question similar to this not so long ago however I have trawled through the forums and could not find an answer...I am using Lightwindow which is a version of lightbox that can have ANY form of content and DOES support .swf files.I have linked the test link on my page to activate lightwindow and open the swf file. Light window opens the window to the correct size but does not display any content. If I go directly to the flash file then all the test images load.Here is the code for that link:

I have got 3 swf files scene1, scene2 and scene3. Out of which scene2 and scene3 are embedded inside html files named scene2.html and scene3.html. I also want to include pre-loader at every intervals between the scenes, since the total file size including images and scripts is around 4mb.
View 3 RepliesI have a Flash Player ActiveX control embedded in a .NET WinForms application and am trying to load a SWF into the FP control over an HTTPS url. In development I'm using a self-signed certificate and it seems that in this scenario I can't get FP to accept the certificate and allow the HTTPS communications.When I try to load the swf over https directly, I don't see the swf and when I right-click on the control I see "Movie not loaded". I can load the swf over http and then try to make Flash Remoting calls over https. I don't expect this to work by default but I added a crossdomain.xml file to allow insecure communications. The crossdomain.xml file is in the root of the server but is not loaded. I added an explicit call to loadPolicyFile with the full https url and the crossdomain.xml file is still not loaded. The local IIS logs don't show any request for the file at all, nothing in the HTTPERR file, and Flash's policyfiles.txt log says URl...If I host the swf in a browser, then the browser prompts to accept the certificate and everything works fine. I've accepted the certificate in IE and Firefox.I also tried calling DisableLocalSecurity() on the FP ActiveX control but it had no effect. I didn't really expect it to since I'm not actually loading the swf locally, it's loaded from a url.Can anyone confirm if the self-signed cert really is the problem? Is there a way to get FP to accept the certificate? Any way to bypass the http/https restriction (this is a locally installed app so I can change any local config files we need)?

I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]
Looking at the attached file, why does bottomScrollV give me the wrong value when the text is dynamically embedded and correct when manually embedded?

I'm trying to get a movie clip to automatically load up another external clip, after playing an embedded flv.
This is what I've tried so far:
var holdFrame = setInterval( holdFrame, 5000);
gotoAndPlay(
_root.mc_holder.loadMovie("swf/library.swf"));
clearInterval (holdFrame);
Although it throws no errors, the setInterval is ignored and it just loads direct into the next mc clip.
I'm trying to use as3's loader function thing to load images into a movieclip in my swf.
Sounds simple enough right.
The thing works pretty well by its self. but when embed the thing is embedded an html page, the swf loads up and works fine, but the images don't seem to load, and I can't understand why.
Thought maybe its some sort of navigational issue, well, the swf works fine on it's own in a web browser, even when checked on a web host. The images just don't load up when the swf is loaded up in a web page, its a little wierd, not sure what to make of it.
I have an XML gallery application online which runs fine in Firefox but when run on Safari it tends to crash as if it couldn't locate/open/read(?) the XML file that is supplying it with the urls and titles of thumbnails that the program is to load.[URL]

View 1 RepliesI have a problem with the way my page is displayed in Safari:
I have a few DIVs, some overlapping others. One of these DIV is in the background (lowest Z-index) and contains an SWF. (a kind of liquid picture/video in Flash)
My problem is : In all common browsers it's fine, the website is displayed correctly, with DIVs overlapping or being overlapped according to their Z-Index. Though, in Safari, the DIV containing the SWF always show on the foreground and hide all other DIVs, whatever the Z-index attributed to all the DIVs.
