ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding External SWF Within MC
Aug 1, 2009
I have got to the point where I need to embed an external swf withing an mc, all is well until I come to test the file, and what happens is that the file is been randomly misplaced in relation to where the mc is.
This Is The code I am using: -
Select allvar imageRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("test.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
And the result is this: -
The text should be in the center

I have built a few flash sites before and am trying to make one that is slightly more complicated and allows for dynamic, database stored images and text. I have built a dynamic gallery based on an XML feed in AS2 which works fine. I am trying to embed it into another FLA file that contains the remainder of the site (the gallery will be one page of the main site). I have tried a ridiculous number of different methods but just cannot get it to work. The gallery is built in AS2, so I am using an AS2 FLA file for the main template it is to be embedded in. The simplest method i have tried that i think should work is to create a new AS2 fla file, edit the actions on my actions layer to be: Empty.loadMovie("My Gallery.swf");
I have then created a new layer for the content and added a MovieClip to the top left of it, named Empty. I have set the instance name of this movie clip to be Empty. From what I have understood from my reading this is the simplest way to display the external file but for some reason it just will not work. It seems to see My Gallery.swf as when i delete it from the local directory i get an 'Error opening URL 'file:///D|/Websites/My Gallery.swf'' message. This message does not appear when this file exists locally, however it just opens a blank screen with nothing within it. I have been reading numerous tutorials and posts and i'm pretty sure i'm being thick, but for some reason i can't seem to get it to work!

I'm using Flash CS4. I'm trying to load and embed an external font. The main problem I'm having is that I need to import more than just latin 1. I need many special characters imported as well. Because of this, using Flash CS4's create new font from the library is not an option. I'm using Verdana, so I know the font has all the characters I need. So what I need to do is create an external swf that holds the font. Then I need to import and use the font. Unfortunately, I've found way too many ways online that work but don't fit my needs.

I'm a typical embedder. I just embed the fonts, register them from another file and be done with it. Though I'm starting to desire to embed some ranges and also use test loading external .ttf files.
What is the best practice for embedding an external TTF at runtime? Is it still basically like this? Anything more modern? I find most blog posts on the subject range in the 2007 area.

I'm making a flash application that that let's the user to create a image(like paint).Everything works fine but i have a problem embedding external fonts. Embedding them the classic way(library->New Font->...) is ok, but I want to load my fonts from an external source, so if a user want's to use his own font he would be able to upload his font on my server and the flash to be able to embed the font to the movie(using an xml or php)

I have 1 swf file which generated through 3rd party tool.Now I want to embed this file into empty flash file and want to save as new, I tried with following options,
1) import option ( File > Import ) but it is importing only Images and symbols. I want my original file as it in new file.
2) loader.load(), but this will load my external file at runtime only and to work smoothly it require both the files.
I want same but in design time, so I can add some extra functionality to it.Is it possible to embed external swf file as it is in new flash file in CS4?

I just upgraded to Flash CS5. Font embedding is entirely different than it was in CS4. I've been looking for examples online but none seem to show me a solution that matches what I need.
In the project I'm working on, code changes the font a text box uses based on region and language. To keep file size down I created separate swf files with the fonts embedded. That way I only download the font I need. The way I did this and the code I used in CS4 doesn't seem to work anymore.

I am using Flash Builder 4 to implement embedded text, what I would like to do is apply this embedded text to a text field in an external SWF (.fla file using Flash CS4).
My code is like so:
[Embed(source='//lib//fonts//Tahoma.ttf', fontName='_Tahoma', embedAsCFF="false")]
private var embedString:String; // added for embed font
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code]....
I have set the fontFamily of the dynamic text field inside the .fla to a custom font and have the AnitAlias set for readability. The Custom font is set to 'Tahoma'.

I've been so frustrated for the past 12 hours trying to get things to work on flash, one thing at a time. I came to a point where I am trying to do the simplest thing as embeding an external html file. I searched all over the net and found many threads tutorials, which none had what I needed. I basically have a html file with nothing but text, and a css file that styles it. How the heck do I embed that into flash, at a certain location, without is scrolling or anything like that?

When publishing this FLA, the mac finder gives this message "flash is trying to access files on your external HD. Allow?"When I allow it, all goes well. When I don't allow it or when the external HD is not present, flash cannot embed fonts.I do have the proper fonts on my system and in the library. I don't have these font problems with other FLA files.If I copy all the internal frames and library elements into a new clean FLA, the problem still exists...

I'm interested in embedding a video into my swf file automatically. Therefore, I managed embedding an flv file onto the stage, but the problem is that after I give the embedded video an instance name and refer to the instance in a command (f.e change x,y coordinates or change width/height), on execution of the swf, the video stays frozen while the audio plays. If I don't refer to the embedded video instance, the video plays normally, just not placed correctly on the stage.

[URL]you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.here is the code from dreamweaver (you'll notice im sticking in color values wherever i can!)
Code:

I have an AS2.0 scripted flash that behaves perfectly when not embedded, but then erratically when embedded. It is a dynamic masked mc with a mouseListener.event so that the magnifying glass follows the mouse as does the invisible mask and you get a magnifying glass effect. All is well outdie the HTML, but once embedded the mouse only erratically attracts the lens mc

I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible on local desktop but not on remote desktop. Below are the steps that I have followed.
* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]
* Given this font name to textField on stage.
* Registered this new font.
* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this font name to Font instance.
* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied this textformat as defaultTextFormat.
* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.
I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't. This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares. Let me know if I am missing any step.

Hey there. I'm very new to Flash CS3. I understand the basic concept of the timeline. I'm not a programmer and I just want to create a FLASH movie that has video with audio and some text animation that I can add to my website. I have successfully created some very simple flash movies without video. My problem is that when I embed an AVI file the audio quality degrades so much that it's unusable. The full length of the viedo is about 9 minutes. It was professionally shot in studio and when I play the AVI file it is fine. I tried chunking up the video into 3 minute segments but that still didn't fix the audio quality. I then separated the audio from the video in Pinnacle Studio and then embedded the video into the timeline and added the audio, and now I can't sync up the audio with the video.

I'm trying to make my own photography website using flash. I have a basic outline/template or what I want it to look like and all of the action script to connect the pictures but I'm missing the main things. The pictures. I have html embedding codes for all of the images and would like to use those somehow instead of just having to manually copy and resize my pictures into the actual flash document (because that takes up a lot of space and makes loading longer, I think).

my fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
What I did so far that did not work:
Made fonts static with animation
made fonts dynamic with animation
