ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading An External SWF In And Displaying It Behind Overlay/watermark?
Aug 12, 2010
I am building a SWF and the goal is to load in an external SWF file and then display that within my container. They are totally unrelated items and I do not want to modify the functionality of the item I am loading in. My SWF will briefly display a watermark overlay, but then disappear. Can anyone guide me into this best way of doing this?Also, is there anyway to get the properties from the SWF I loaded in (namely height and width) so I might be able to easily adjust the size of my SWF to match?

how to overlay a picture/watermark onto live stream published from a client? (like TV stations do).Can this be encoded into the stream in realtime by FMS so client could not record/view a clear stream? (for example overlay watermark for non-paid subscribers).I don't want to do this on client side because then someone can build custom app to play a stream without the overlay. Or is FMS4's SWF Verification so good, that I don't need to be worried?

I have a swf that is loaded with moviecliploader class onto a container empty mc.
The problem is, some stuff on the loaded swf contains a blend mode overlay + alpha animation. When it's loaded .... the overlay mode is just aparently ignored! >_<
I guessed it's maybe because the overlay thing is in one swf and the background is on the other, so i tried setting the overlay with with onLoadInit ... :
Code:
content.menu.background.blendMode = 'overlay';
this had no good result, my alpha animation on the mc would just not happen and i got no overlay blend at all =

I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?

create a watermark that fades into my videos 20 or so seconds in, then fades out after another 10 seconds.
Here's what I've done so far in Flash CS4:
- Import Video
- Pointed the "player" to an external URL for the video.
- Selected a generic Skin
The video plays well, all is in order.
Now, to add a watermark to the player. I figured you'd simply import the new animated SWF file, then write some Actions to tell it when to fade in and fade out. Not that I know how to do that at all .
I'd even be up for other options, if this simply won't work I've thought of pushing all my videos through a third-party program to brand the video with an animated watermark, is there such a thing?

I have an SWF file which I water-marked.
and then, I thought of removing the watermark from the SWF file by modifying its raw data on disk.
And since SWF is an open standard, I've taken a look at SWF Flash Player 10 Specs from Adobe.
My watermark is a movieclip object which is loaded in the first frame. but till now I'm not able to remove it.
I am trying to inspect the tag (DefineSprite) which is coded in Hex as (3F 09) which is converted to (09 3F) because of the little endian.
Or there is a different approach, which is to remove the control tag (PlaceObject2) which I couldn't find in the same file HEX dump.
P.S: Yes, I've decompressed the file.

For the past few hours I've been trying to figure out a way to add a watermark to an image file before uploading it using the FileReference.upload(); method. The uploading works already. I just have to figure out how to get a small watermark (PNG image with alpha-transparency) on the lower right of the image file. Another thing is, I don't want to modify the source file. I just want to add the watermark on upload.
What approach would you recommend for this type of setup? I also can't seem to find any pre-made classes already that I can use for this certain thing. Is this not a very common task? And no I can't use server-side (PHP) to do the watermarking because I'm communicating directly to a service's API, not through my server.

I have six buttons, and I want each one to display a corresponding externally loaded swf, 01.swf, 02.swf.
It works fine, except that sometimes swfs load up, and sometimes they don't. For example, if I hit button 6, the 06.swf loads. but if I hit button 6 after hitting 3 other buttons, SOMETIMES 06.swf loads, other times it doens't and I get an error that relates to the removeChild
var loader2:Loader = new Loader();
function showVid (evt): void {
if (e1.data.childAdded2 == true) {this.removeChild(loader2);};

I'm trying to load some jpeg's into my movieclips. They are loading, but my height is displaying wrong. The image is 64x100px. I'm changing my movieclip to show the same size, but the display of the image is stretched.Doing a Debug of the movie, the movieclips show the correct dimensions, but the images are still stretched vertically somehow. My _xscale and _yscale are both at 100.
This is in actionscript 2.0. I've ran this file on both MX2004 and CS3, with the same result. The images aren't progressive,
Code:
numImages = 30;
spacing = 10;
x_pos = 0;
y_pos = 0;[code]..........

I want to display MovieClip "Loading" while loading an XML File, but something went wrong and MovieClip is displayed on the screen after the XML is loaded.the main idea is:when the Test object is added to the stage I call loadQuestions function
ActionScript Code:
private function onAddedToStage(event:Event):void
{
event.target.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
loadQuestions();
}
it should display movie clip "loading" and load xml:
ActionScript Code:
public function loadQuestions()
{
[code]...
This code doesn't work as it should, because while xml is being loaded there is no MovieClip on the screen(it appears after to load is completed) [URL]

I'm trying to display dynamic JPG, GIF, PNG's from my database using php. Sorta at a loss. I checked the Flash "HELP" for a while but came up with nothing that worked. Also googled everything about "images, Flash, PHP" and "Dynamically displaying images in flash. Came up with nothing. Maybe I'm a bad googler but..... anyhow below is my simple PHP that shows an image when looked at in browser. I've tried several ways to display it in flash. It works nice if I just place the server location of my actual pic in a "loader Component", But I need it PHP-Dynamic.

session_start();

ive been trying to build a small internet radio player and it works fine besides displaying what current song is playing to some dynamic text we have it set up to upload a plain .txt file to our website every time the song is changed it is displayed for example
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
like i said plain text, this is the code i have that displays it, and it HALF works
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.text = this;
};
myData.load("example.txt");
but the text displays with %20 for spaces and stuff at the end like so:
Rick%20Astley%20%2D%20Never%20Gonna%20Give%20You%2 0Up=&onLoad=%5Btype%20Function%5D

I'm trying to create something that will load a bunch of images into an array and then be displayed whenever needed via using the attachMovie() function.
Code:
for (var i=1; i<list.length; i++) { //list is an array full of urls to images
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("img"+i,i);
loadMovie(list[i], "_root.img"+i);
}
I dont think this is what I want because I don't actually want the images to appear right here (this is the loading part). What I want is each image to be in a separate symbol with a unique identifier so that I can create them dynamically during runtime.

I've created a flash website and have split it up into different swfs and have added pre loaders so it loads more cleanly. When I preview the site the links open up the external swfs no problem, but once the site it uploaded the swfs don't load, it appears that the main movie restarts insted of the external swfs (only the contact button works because it's part of the main movie).The 4 buttons at the bottom of the main page go to frames with the follwing or similar action script
designplay.loadMovie("design.swf");
This frame also contains the clip (designplay) which the design.swf should load into. It appears the issue is with the paths, I've spent a long time trying to fix this and just can't get it.

I'm loading content from a text file into a text field in Flash. In that text file I have some simple html tags like <b>, <i>, and <img>. I'm setting the textfield as html text:
myTextField.htmlText = myContent
The img tags work fine, but for some reason the bold and italics are not displaying...the tags are being correctly stripped from the text, but there is no bold or italic text. I'm embedding all the characters I need, but do I need to somehow embed the bold/italics versions of those characters?

It's easy to share bitmap data between multiple Images: // target and source are instances of the mx.controls.Image class var content_copy:Bitmap = new Bitmap((source.content as Bitmap).bitmapData);target.load(content_copy);
But how to do the same thing for movie clips with vector grapics? The only way I've found is to load movie clip using byte data of another movie clip as the source.
target.load(source.content.loaderInfo.bytes); But it actually duplicates the content.

I'm loading text from an external file (a notepad). Now all I want is to be able to change the text by loading text from another external file when a certain button is pressed. Basically, I got this as my default text which loads automatically at the start:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
title.text = this.title;
info.text = this.info;
body.text = this.body;
};
But now I want to load text from a different file (data2.txt) by the press of a button. I also have a transition animation so work with me. It would be...
b3.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "photos.swf") {
//I also got this pic (swf) that changes on the button release//
_root.section = "photos.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
So what exactly do I add to be able to change the text source?

My flash piece loads an external image depending on the XML that gets pulled in. The problem is that it sits in with a busted *** calendar that won't let me z-index until the wmode = invisible. When I change it from "window" (aka default) to "invisible" my external images do not load in but the stage assets remain. So external images appear in window mode. Do not appear in invisible / opaque mode.
