Nov 19, 2009A lot of examples i've come across seem to suggest a SWF can be generated without a corresponding FLA file.

View 1 RepliesI have a SWF file. It can generate Jpeg images. I want to get that images by url (for ex www.my.com/file.swf#image.jpeg) I want to get just clean image (no flash no sign of flash). So as if i was just calling my apache server to give me that image.

Using Flash CS4 and having the Flash plug-in ver 10 on my PC, the generated html file will not play the swf in the browser.I noticed that the active-x javascript is now included in the header as well as the javascript portion in the body tag.But it won't play. I get the typical blank window in IE with the "X" in the upper left corner.I don't have this problem with Flash CS3.
View 10 RepliesWhenever I publish a Flash project, when I open the html file that is generated along with the swf, I am never able to see the swf embedded in the html file (when I open it in Dreamweaver, for example.) This is frustrating as far as manipulating the html file is concerned. All I see is some text about "Place alternate content here for those w/o Flash Player installed, etc." Why can't I see the swf file? It is there as expected when I upload all the proper files and/or view them in a browser locally. Alternatively, what I am having to do in order to design the html file properly is open a new file and embed the swf manually. But this approach is not good as I am missing out on all the other browser detection features that the html file that is published by Flash includes naturally. How can I preserve this benefit and still get into the details of designing the html file?
View 2 RepliesI have assets in external swfs which I load. I would like to know the exact size of the stage and the position of the asset in the fla that created it. If I try to ask the resulting MovieClip for it's size, it turns out it gives me the size when it is trimmed down to the tightest box around the non-transparent pixels. Looking at the contentLoaderInfo, I can get the original width/height that was used by the fla file, which is great. However, I still need to know where to place the asset within the stage.. basically I need an x/y offset for it.
The reason I need this is for a customizable avatar - it has many parts, which are placed in different areas on a stage to create the full avatar. I would like to be able to combine the individual swfs for each part to achieve this.
This is my first experience with PHP, so bare with me. I've made an Ecard using Flash and Dreamweaver. On the Ecard is a form to fill out, your name, your email, a comment, and the name and email to the person you are sending the ecard to.[URL].. When you push the "Submit"-button it sends an email to the receiver, and it creates a .txt file on my server with the info.
The .txt-file has a unique name generated by:
$mailCount = $_POST['me_count'];
$senderName = $_POST['me_name'];
$senderEmail= $_POST['me_email'];

my saving part, where user select the necessary equipments & draw the connections. user are also able to generate the cable connection list in datagrid component.
I understand that flash doesnt provide saving to image technically, have seen some websites on the teaching & i tried to apply on my flash.
I have this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method save through a reference with static type flash.net:FileReference. at source: fileRef.save(ba,"EMC"+i+".jpg");
I want to save the file locally inside harddisk, without any server script.
is it possible to store and array generated in flash in a XML file?I am wanting to try make something where I have a group of object to choose from but I only want to choose say 3 of 10. I would like to be able to check the ones I want and then those be added to an array or an XML file which I can later pick up and use in another external swf.Because I am wanting to use an external swf I thought that adding it to say an xml file would be the option. But I don't really know how to get the ball rolling on this.

View 2 Repliesi've created a php file which grabs ID, name, URL1, URL2, and Price from a table and puts it into an array called 'loadpics'.Now here is where i'm lost.How can i then put pictures into flash from the URLS in the variable? how to tell flash to create the pictures... Do i need to use a component or something? Or do i create a movieclip and somehow load them in there? if someone has an xml script example of putting images from the urls in the variable created by the php.

I�m currently doing work for a local cinema that wants session times to be displayed as .swf's on a few monitors in the foyer, but I�m having difficulties writing the script for it, here's the situation:The session times are generated daily as a text file by the ticketing software, it looks like this:
12 1 0950 101 0 330 0 M MADE OF HONOUR
1 1 1000 95 0 400 0 M WHAT HAPPENS IN
6 1 1000 95 0 154 0 M SMART PEOPLE
9 1 1010 92 0 300 0 PG MISS PETTIGREW

Additional requirements are the times disappearing after the session has started as well as session times 13-16 being displayed as a separate .swf (first class seating)So i guess my main question is "can i dynamically load text from a multi-line txt file without editing the txt file to include variable assignment? ('content=' etc)" the txt file generated is intended for an led display and is apparently a Texas Instruments standard.

View 1 RepliesI need to convert a swf movie that is created entirely through code (with the help of TweenLite) to a .flv format. The issue here is that I need to 1) Do this as a batch process, and that 2) since the swf is entirely generated by code it only has 1 frame and as such normal conversions like from CS5.5 to to the .avi format give me just 1 frame in the resulting video format. Is there a free converter out there that can get past the fact that my video is technically only 1 frame long and can handle batch jobs?
View 3 RepliesI have this piece of code:
Code:
var xmlGeneratorURL:String = "http://localhost/***/galleryXMLgenerator.php";
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showGallery);
[Code]....
so if you change the content or the name of some file of the "media" folder, the next time you run the swf you should have more/less media in the gallery. Well... this does not happens.... like there's some cache to clear before calling php again..
I´ve been trying to write AS3 that can read xml which is dynamically generated by php. i´ve generated the xml in several ways -- all of which seem to work but i keep getting the error,
Error #1088: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed,when i try to load the xml into flash. however the xml (as viewed when you go to "view source" in your browser) is indeed well formed.i´ve seen various discussions where people bring up this problem but haven´t seen a solution in any of them.
i have 4 versions of the php. the first just uses echo. the second uses echo but i wrap it in {start_ob(),ob_end_flush()}; then i use simpleXML and finally i use domdocument. the first 3 give the error above, the domdocument throws no error but the xml is empty.
i´ll start with the simplified flash code:
Code: Select allvar path:String = "php/videos.php"
//
var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader()

I have a movie clip that contains many many dynamically generated mc's that have also some dynamically generated mc's in them Now i wanna duplicate that large MC .... and of course that does not work cause it will not copy all those small MC's that are contained. If I duplicate all the MC's contained this also will not work. cause they contain generated MC's and so on Okay enough blabla: Is there a possibility to duplicate the big MC containing all the small MC's ???I know Flash can't do it but is there a way around it?I had one idea of keeping an array of all the generated mc's in my MC class. This works fine but when i duplicate one contained MC i wont get it into the duplication target, it will always be inside his _parent movieclip

I'm working with tons of array generated from a XML. How should I go about creating a search function that will be able to search and retrieve a particular nod from the array. Sth to do with .toLowerCase() and getIndexOf? The search function should be able to search and retrieve any text that contain the letter/letters... not the whole word. Like for example if user enter "gre", it should retrieve results containing "great" and so on.

so i am parsing an xml file and each node becomes a button. ifigured out how to make each click work properly, but i can not getthe rollovers to work. with the code below makes it register youare rolling over one of the buttons, but it only shows the rolloveron the last button in my list. im thinking its because i am notreferencing my button correctly, but im not sure what the referenceis because the buttons are created through iterations.

View 7 RepliesI am looking to build a Flash/Flex application that would allow users to edit certain portions of an application and then be able to download a swf when they are finished customizing. Is it possible to embed content in swf files and save them on the fly? Or would I need to have them download the generic swf that points to an xml file to load the custom data? I know you can save out generated images from a Flash app using server side scripting, but I'm unaware of anything similar for swf files.
View 5 Repliesi am trying to import to flash an xml file, generated from Excel. I got some tutorials from internet but the format of xml file from excel it's different and i can't manage to access data from it. if i type trace(xmldata); it shows me the full content of xml file. But how can i acces the correct data if in the xml file it is written:
<Row> <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">CellName</Data></Cell> <Cell><Data ss:Type="Number">CellValue</Data></Cell>.
I have a flex project and if I build a release version of the application using flash builder with RSLs on my swf is 115k. If however I build the same application using ant the swf is 342k. Without RSLs the swf is 520k.
How do I get the swf to be as small as the one built by FlashBuilder?
Here is my ant file I have another task that copies the rsls.
