just trying to embed an external swf into main fla. Please give me a starting point. Do I create an empty MC? Is there a standard code to upload in AS? If so what would I code and where in AS would I insert?
View 2 RepliesI Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?
If I have a main swf, into which a child swf is loaded into a container. My main swf is my preloader, which I want to keep as small as possible.If I don't embed font's used in child.swf in main.swf, it wont work.
View 2 RepliesI have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);

I want to load six seperate .swf's into the main movie while the main movie loads too. So in simpler words, i want to be able to load all of the swf's the same time i am loading the main swf.

View 1 RepliesI am experimenting on embedding external fonts. I found this example on the webbut it does not work for me. Anyone tried it? I just changed "somefont" to a font that exists on my system like AGENCYB.TTF:

But it generates errors:

I am sure someone has asked this question before but I could not find any answers that were given in AS 3.0. I want to embed an external HTML file into a window in an SWF presenetation for school. I also think it would make having a flash site easier to update. Basically I want to have a box on the screen that looks to a HTML file for text and maybe images and then displays them inside that window. How would I go about this or is there a better, easier way to do it? I might also like to be able to scroll down that document once its in the window but that can come later
View 4 RepliesI've come across a stumbling block. Basically, I need to embed an external swf file into my current fla file.
The swf file relies on a bit of javascript and runs OK separately.
However, I want the swf to be embedded in my final fla file.
I don't have access to the code for the swf because it is a purchased item.
I was thinking can we like directly load an external flv through embed link into a string into an empty movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to play an external .flv in a .swf and embed in a webpage. I feel like I'm doing everything correctly and everytime I create it, it works offline. When I upload all the files online, nothing shows up. When I right click on the live webpage where the file should be playing it sees the swf, it's just playing and/or displaying anything.

View 2 RepliesI typically embed the fonts in a library and use it this way but sometimes this gives me issues. I'm using Flash Pro CS5 and I'm trying the Embed method. I've seen many blogs/posts (here, here, here, here, etc in order of which my problems arose) but none of them are working for me. I'm getting the transcode error issue.
Can anyone shed more light on what the Error: Unable to transcode 'some/path/to/a.ttf' transcoding error is? Im sure the path is right, I've tried embedding with and without various options like mimeType, I can't get it to embed the font, or any font for that matter. Tips on embedding a font? My code would typically look like this:
[Embed(source="dat/SomeFont.ttf", fontFamily="SomeFont", mimeType="application/x-font")] var SomeFontClass:Class; var SomeFont:Font = SomeFontClass();
Does anybody know how to embed an external HTML page into Flash? I am envisioning something like an iFrame, but can't really figure how this would work. I've attempted using a scrollpane, but it didn't work at all.
View 5 RepliesI'm naturally a PHP coder, but I have to use flash for a part of a project.I was wondering if I have files such as mainsite.swf and page1content.swf, is there a way to simply include the page1content.swf file into a predefined area on the mainsite.swf file (as in PHP's include)?Also, would it be possible to use this flash "include" to embed external swf's?Finally, ideally I'd be able to merge these files together, but from what I've read, it's a tricky business, with filenames, referencing etc, so this is optional.
View 1 Repliesdesperate for some assistance in getting two bits of script to combine... Can anyone help please? I want to be able to apply an embedded font to an externally loaded .txt file. I have named the dynamic text field 'myText', but the code that embeds the font wants me to enter the words. Both work individually, but they won't combine:

myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
// the data is loaded in the myLoadVars object as a property of the object
myText.htmlText = myLoadVars.topHTMLdata;

View 1 RepliesWe're building a player with the ultimate goal of allowing others to embed our projects (viewed via this player) on their blogs, etc. Currently, I'm adding long-overdue tracking code to the player so we can track people's usage of it.Since Google Analytics tracking requires a javascript function to be embedded on the page along with the swf, and is accessed via an AS ExternalInterface command, what's the best way to handle this when it comes to letting others embed our swf, but still wanting to track?
View 5 RepliesI have the following working code that puts a you tube video onto the stage, but how do I embed it into a movie clip?
//code
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
var my_playerbject;
[Code].....
On our own website, it's easy to protect against direct links to our video content by grabbing a token through AJAX and verifying the token through PHP before the file download is started.
However I'm also researching how I could provide an embed feature, like YouTube or vimeo etc., without compromising this security feature.
The problem is that the embed code I want to provide should look something like <object>...<embed>...</embed></object> -- but I don't know how to grab and append the token to the filename. I mean, I guess I could attach a script that did some gnarly JNOP business, but that's too dirty.I'm using JW Player for the actual video container.

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to embed Flash completely in HTML, without reference to an external SWF file? I ask because I would like to send an HTML file as an email attachment that the recipient will open in a browser and fill out as a form. The last step is that they will copy the result to their clipboard, paste it into a new message, and email it back. I cannot reliably copy to the clipboard with JavaScript because of the security issues, but there are simple Flash apps to add that capability.
I know I could just display the response text (which will be Base64 encoded) to the recipient and have them copy/paste, but it would be nice to provide this small convenience to them. Also, so you are aware, the text is often too large to include in an email using mailto. Yes. This needs to be done via email. The users have slow, occasional satellite email access and no other data connection to the interwebs. To make things worse, I cannot make them install anything. It is a difficult situation.
I'm writing a Flash game where the game levels are saved in small plain-text files, which I want to embed in the swf file. My current solution has a distinct code smell in its repetition, and I'm certain that there is a better way. My code is basically: In a LevelLoader class, embed all the levels
[Embed( source="levels/1.dat", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )]
protected var level1:Class;
[Embed( source="levels/2.dat", mimeType="application/octet-stream" )][code].......
There are a couple of problems with this approach: I have to add a line for embedding each level. Optimally, all files in a folder would be automatically embedded.A level can't be "prepared" from a string. I'd like to be able to pass LevelLoader a level number or level name as a string.I think that all strings are stored in memory rather than on disk.How could I program this "correctly"?
I am creating I guess what you could call a swf library. It's a bunch of different interactive swfs all packaged up into a main swf that I can embed on my page. Each swf contains flv's that play. They all work great in my main swf and individually, that's not my problem.Everything is working great but I have a menu that pops up to change between different episodes and it works great.BUTWhat I'm looking to do is when you click on the menu button and the menu pops up over the externally loaded swf, I want the externally loaded swf to pause. Then when you close the menu I want it to un pause. It looks really tacky when the menu pops up and the flv's in the externally loaded swfs keep running. I knew how to pause them in as2 but only from the swf they were actually in.
This is my code (this all works) I just can't figure out code to add that will pause everything when the menu pops up ...box is what I named an empty box on stagetop_btn is the button that launches the menu
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("NewHarbison2.swf");

how do you get an external swf which has been loaded into the main swf to talk to the main swf?
Like, lets say you load an swf into a container clip inside the main.swf's timeline, but need to get things to happen in the main one from the external one...
in as2 you used to just be able to go, say _parent._parent.main.gotoAndPlay("whatever");
I'm using the following code to load an external SWF into my main SWF. The code is called inside of a button function. The code works TOO well. The external SWF loads multiple times on top of each other.
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();ldr.load(new URLRequest("portfolio.swf"));
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded, false, 0, true);function onLoaded(evt:Event):void { addChild(evt.target.content); evt.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);}
To see the mess go to:[URL] hit the "web" button.
I'm loading an external SWF to a main SWF. The external SWF is a dynamic video gallery. When I test my movie, I click to load my external SWF. It load ok and functions perfect.
