I've tried publishing CS4 swfs in both Flash 10 and 9, but the pages are acting strange in various browsers. For example:
On PC FF and IE when hitting back button in browser the site disappears.
Sometimes PC site won't load. Says "Done with errors."
In FF, the page is coming up blank.
What is the best way to publish swfs for cross-browser support?
I'm using jPlayer in a website, which is a cross-platform/cross-browser jQuery solution for audio and video playback on a website. On my website, I will have users upload files either in MP3 or OGG format. I wonder though... in order to truly stay 100% stable on any browser or platform, wouldn't I need to support a corresponding OGG for every MP3 uploaded (and vice-versa)? I know jPlayer uses HTML5 when it can and will fall back to Flash when necessary, but I didn't know if you need to have that file in both formats to have it play everywhere. If I need both file formats then I suppose I'd have to convert the file to the other format using a server-side conversion. If I need just one format... then wouldn't that be just dandy! So my question is, do I need to convert? Or not?
View 1 RepliesI have a movie with a document class (Main.as) wich load 2 SWF:
private var mainContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(mainContainer);
var loaderx:Loader = new Loader();[code]....
Now I need to access some var/objects in PhotoLoader from PhotoViewer but anytime I compile PhotoViewer the compiler complains:
trace(root.loaderx.dbFields);
1119: Access of possibly undefined property loaderx through a reference with
static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
Notice I need communication between the 2 loaded SWFs, not from the movie that loaded them
the following script loads 48 .swfs in lines and columns....
var count = 0;
for (var rows=0; rows<8; rows++) {
for (var columns=0; columns<6; columns++) {
count++;
[Code]....
Yet another irritating technical issue, it's the first time I've tried loading assets from another server and it's not working.
Apparently having the loader context check policy file does nothing with SWFs, I've tried with and without, no difference.
I've tried Security.allowDomain("*"); and loading a crossdomain.xml file where the assets are located, and no joy. Every time I try it, I just get an error trying to load a class (that works fine from local SWFs).
I'm compiling from CS5 with access network selected. Also tried with Flex, same thing.
Basically I am working on a project which I have coded using HTML, HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. The issue I have is that I want a flash object/animation to show on the first page. Now despite resizing the file within the HTML it seems that within Firefox and IE it sets a default size and doesn't fit the screen.
When tested on Safari it seemed to work fine but just doesn't show as intended on Firefox and IE.

I would like to execute a cross domain http request from a website. Javascript is out, because most browser don't allow cross domain calls. Generally the solution is to use a proxy, but that isn't an option for this project. The other things I was thinking about would be to use Flash or maybe Java. Are there any other platforms that I could use?
View 4 RepliesHow the browser caches .swf and it's content? For example, if I have an image slideshow that load data specified in XML on the domain, will it be cached for access if the same swf is used on the domain or does it have to be re-cached?

I just have two version of my site
one is design for Flash supported (like Desktop) and the other one is for Mobile devices
I just want to know if I can detect and if is true (support) they will stay the same website assuming is[url]...
I am not even sure this is possible but I thought I should ask anyway. So I usually have to create several different template ads that have the exact same content but have different stage width and height. To do this I just have 5 flash files that have the exact same code except different stage size and publish them out.I want to make this process faster (if possible) by having only flash file that when it is published, the code will create the 5 templates at once with the different dimensions. Is there such functionality in AS3 that lets me do that?
View 5 RepliesIs there a cross-browser solution to making a flash players background invisible? I have a swf movie that I want to sit on a faintly stripped background. I could place the same background in the Flash movie and sit it with CSS - using hacks for i.e. to make the backgrounds match up, but wondered whether there was a simple way of turning the background off?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project that originally required me to use <area> elements and 40 copies of a single GIF image to have a hoverable and clickable <img> tag. I suggested SVG, and the client agreed to use SVG instead, as it was easier to work with for both of us.
Anyways, my question is, what cross-browser JavaScript SVG library will allow me to display and interact with pre-made SVG images.
I know of these libraries:
Raphaƫl: I'm currently using this along with a SVG loading plugin. But that plugin does not support Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator SVGs (i.e. most SVGs). cang: This library looks promising, but it requires <canvas> support, which IE doesn't have natively. svgweb: Another more-promising library. It requires Flash, but most IE users have Flash. jQuery SVG: It seems to be able to load SVG images, but development seems to have died. And it requires me to use a modified version of jQuery 1.3.
My client would like to provide somewhat-arbitrary images to my script and have chunks of them be "selectable" (see my demo here).
I made an as3.0 website in Flash cs4. [URL]The content of the pages is placed in a ScrollPane component, that comes with cs4. It all works fine in Chrome, Opera and IE but Firefox and Safari only show the top-left 100x100px.
Here's how it works.index.html holds a variable that tells my flash where to go (agenda, djs, bookings etc.). index.html loads preloader.swf via swfObject. Preloader.swf loads theKitchen.swf and passes a variable to it so it knows where to go, and triggers the init() function.
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var go:String;
public function Preload():void
{
[code]...
In the "mainswf" then comes some if/else statements to build the desired page. If you click a button in the menu a function is triggered with an if/else statement that checks if the page that belongs to that button isnt allready shown. If its false the source of the ScrollPane is set to that page.Every page is build in a seperate class. The class ready an XML file that holds all the text/urls to images/ video.
Can you save/publish a .swf from a .swf? For example, I want to make a .swf where the user can move around X's and O's representing players (say basketball) in order to depict a set play. There's a button to create keyframes for the X's and O's to tween between. And then an input text box to name the play. Can the play be saved? Something like this: [URL] Except I want anyone to be able to author plays online from my .swf rather than only me from my copy of Adobe Flash CS3.

View 1 RepliesDoes anybody use bare .SWF files as webpages? I know it's possible; it seems to work fine for me. Why would I embed a SWF inside an HTML page if it's just going to be full screen (I mean the size of the browser's normal viewable page area, not COMPLETELY fullscreen)?
Is there a lack of browser support? Or is this functionality determined by the browser's Flash plugin?
i don't understand flash plugin only support .swf file,not support .flv file? always require load a swf file for play flv file, for exampes:
<embed type="video/x-flv" src="http://www.my.com/test.flv"></embed>
must be use a swf for play
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.my.com/player.swf" flashvars=""></embed>
Why can't I get my FLVs and F4Vs to play out of a browser window but they'll play out of explorer through the Adobe Media player?Once I convert them to be SWFs, they play out of a browser but they're still humungous and take a lot of time to play. 400Mgs as an FLV/F4V and 200Mgs as a SWF. Is there a way to shrink them down to a much smaller file size? These were video recordings of long presentations.
View 1 RepliesI want to embed multiple swfs on a single page. they will be identical. i was wondering if browsers will redownload the swf each time or store the first one and retrieve the others locally? if they re-download it, is there a way to tell the browser that it can use the same one?
View 3 RepliesFlash CS4 using AS 2.0 for this.
Here's a simple problem I am having. I have a website made up from multiple swfs. Which open up over the index swf.
What I need to do is load 4 swf files into the memory so the transition between the page loads is smooth. The swfs are only a few kb in size but the delay in loading these (1 second) makes the transitions look very untidy. Once i've clicked on every section then the flashplayer has them stored in the cache so they run smooth, is there anyway just to load these in before the start page has loaded.

There are two external swfs loaded in one main flash file - the rolling ball, which is a default external swf, and the circles swf, which loads after the gray button is clicked. I would like the circles swf to load into the blank movie clip I have set up. I would like the external swf contained within the blank movie clip to be full browser flash and scaleable with any change in browser size. To do this, I set up some actionscript to make the blankmc full browser and scaleable (i've done this on a regular movie clip slide show from within a flash file, rather than being an externally loaded swf, and it worked.) with the hope that the blank movie clip and its contents, which would be the external circles swf file, would resize and rescale appropariately if the browser window were changed.
Currently, when the gray bar is clicked, the circles swf comes in not as full browser. Once the window is resized, the animation relocates itself to the lower right corner, with the top corner of the external swf situating itself on the center of the blank mc. I know this is a registration issue, but before resize the animation is where i want it. Also, while the scale of the circles animation does change with the browser window size, it does so i a wacky way.

The client-side application is a Flex application and communicate with server-side java application using blazeds.As you know,most browsers don't cache SWFs loaded over https,but i want load the swfs through http so that the client brower can cache them and communicate with the server-side over https ?
