ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding XML File Into Parent SWF
Sep 16, 2008
I have a project that requires embedding an XML file into the parent SWF AS3 code. this project relies on someone else's SWF that I do not have access to and it makes use of commands separated by &. When I load this SWF into a loader and pass the XML data to it from an external file, the & symbols are preserved and all is well. When I embed the XML data within the AS3 and point the loader to that XML data, all of the & get converted to & during parse at runtime or compile. How do I disable this? Is that possible to do?
I need to keep this format when the XML data is passed to the SWF in the loader:
<Child attribute="Command&Command&Command&Command"/>

I have a parent swf with fonts embedded in the library, which have export for actionscript set and a class name assigned. The patent swf loads a number of child swfs to which I'm trying to pass a textformat object using a desired font from the parents library. How can this be achieved. I have tried Font.registerFont(font class) and created a new instance of the font before setting the textformat, but this only works on machines with the font installed. In the child swf, the textfield text is set, then the textfomat applied with setTextFormat();

Embedded some characters using embed tag in flash CS3 (font.swf). 2 separate swf (a.swf,b.swf) loads the font.swf on runtime. These 2 swf are being called from a container (parent) swf. It looks find locally and not time consuming to load. But when I view it from a server, computer lags after a while....
(all file sizes are relatively small.around 160kb)
What needs to be done in order to prevent computer from lagging? Is it better to load font.swf not in separate swf but directly in container(parent).swf?

iv been working on embeding an zip file into an swf file. So far it works perfectly the way i want it and runs in the folder it was built in using flashdevelop. However when i place the swf anywhere but in the bin folder i get the sandbox error below :
[Code]...
"If running in the Flash Player browser plugin, FZip requires ZIPs to be patched (Adler32 checksums need to be added). This is not required if FZip runs in the Adobe AIR runtime or if files contained in the ZIP are not compressed." Im not sure if this is what is causing the error, or whether its a problem in my embed code, or something else. I saved the same project as an projector exe file and it worked as expect but not as an swf file outside of the bin folder.

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

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!

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

The entire banner needs to be a clickable link for the duration of the animation. So anyone can click on the banner at any point during the animation, and be brought to my site. I tried putting a frame at the end with getURL[URL] but that doesnt work. When I do that, the banner is not a clickable link, but the site opens automatically after the animation has played. Cant have that. So after doing some research, the apparent correct way to do this is by making a button, but I do that and the button obsures everything else.

I'm trying to embed a .swf file within another .fla project using the the loadmovie command. Here's my code as it stands. This is sitting on a button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(291);
loadMovieNum("New Visualr.swf", 20);
}
When I test the project I can see that something has been loaded in but it doesnt play properly, it just kind of flashes. I have tried publishing the same video under different names but have the same problem every time? I uploaded the .swf I am trying to embed?

i'm building a website using flash. i have a external swf file that i want to import into my website. i thought this would be an easy task but for some reason when i load the movie, it flickers. my website (parent swf) was build using 1.0. The external form swf was build using 3.0. My approach:
1.create an empty movie clip called mcForm
2.go to the mc clip page i want to pull the external movie into
3. within my actions layer, I call the following function loadMovie("main.swf", mcForm);
If i write:
LoadMovieNum("main.swf",0);
then the my main.swf opens correctly but closes the parent swf file. I wan the main.swf file to be embeded within the parent file.

I'm all very new to Flash! I'm a Designer. I recently out sourced a flash project and now my client needs it updating. My project consists of a music mixing desk. You press a button and video pops up. The buttons are in the stage. When pressed, this triggers a movie clip which loads a FLV player. SIMPLE! ([URL] - to see the site in action!) I have a simple flash gallery [URL]. I have put the SWF, image folder and XML in the root. I have tried embedding the SWF gallery into my Flash Project by importing it into the library and dragging it to where video content usually lives (FLV player). It doesn't work. I've tried other techniques (loadMovie etc). But I'm a bit fuzzy on these methods.

I'm trying to embed my .swf file with swfobject, and pass the parent html code to the flash file as a string. Here is the javascript code:
Code:
// FLASH EMBED
// Page Title
var parent1 = document.getElementById('pageTitle');
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.parentXML = parent1.toString();
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("flash/pageTitle.swf", "pageTitle", "510", "150", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
Everything works fine until I use the toString() function in the flashvars line, which breaks the code and causes the .swf file to fail loading.

I've tried importing a SWF file into a new fla file but when I test it the embeded swf doesn't do anything. I can't click and drag any of the things that I could if I ran the SWF file on its own.
The embeded file uses some php. is this factor? Is there something I need to doin order to make it run? right now its just a graphic.

I have a very large text file (it's a 270,000 word list with one word per line) which I need to bring into my AS3 code. Importing it via url works just fine - loading it in as a string then converting to an array - no problems.
However, I need to embed it into my code somehow so that there are no external files (for easy distribution). Using a search and replace tool, I've tried several things, none of which have worked including:
Converting to a single space delimited string:
Code:
var wordList:String = "word1 word2 word3 ...";
Result: crashes compiler.
Code:
Converting to an array: var wordList:Array = ["word1","word2","word3", ...];
Result: crashes compiler too.
The same tests work fine with much smaller sized word lists, but apparently the size of my word list is too large to work. I know flash can handle strings and arrays of this size, because as I said, it works fine when importing the text file via url. I just can't seem to get it to compile it when I embed it into code.

My friend is making a new signature for use on her forum and she wanted to embed an animated .gif file into her signature. She has no idea how to do this but it sounded to me like something that could be done fairly easily with flash and Actionscript. Personally, I have not used Actionscript in any of my projects since I bought CS3. Mostly I've just been too lazy to learn the differences between Actionscript 2.0 and 3.0, I know it uses a bit different of a syntax.

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 need to make a Flash animation fullscreen. After a bit of research it seems I can only feasibly do this via a browser, since the Windows 7 preview does not support fullscreen.
I followed the steps of this website; [URL]
However, I'm having a problem embedding the flash file into a simple HTML document. The file is called "LaBoheme.swf" and is stored in the same directory as my HTML file. Hence, here is my code;
<html>
<body>
<h1>Test Heading</h1>
[Code]....
The problem is simply that the flash animation does not appear. I get the feeling I'm making a rookie mistake here

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?

I have been trying to embed a video from youtube into an SWF file. I have been looking at the various posts here and I found this actionscript code:
System.security.allowDomain("YOUTUBE DOMAIN would go here");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("YOUTUBEDOMAIN would go here/crossdomain.xml");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc", 10000);
this.video_mc.loadMovie
("I had to remove this link so I could post it normally would have the youtube link to the video file");
I created a movie instance on my stage and called it video_mc and pasted the code into a frame.
When I press ctrl and enter to test the flash document I get my page as expected and the youtube video appears,however I get the following message:
'*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to null halted - not permitted 'I had to remove this link so I could post this on this forum -my post count is less than 50- normally would have the youtube link to the video file
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.'
