I'm creating a wrapper SWF that needs to embed multiple swf's using the [Embed ] tag in Actionscript 3.How can i embed a custom swf when compiling a as3 project using the flex sdk, E.G:
[Embed(source="/MySWF1.swf", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
However i want to specify the 'source' location at compile time.How can i do this?
We have a flex application which compiles fine on windows box using mxmlc ant task but when we try to run the same build scripts on linux, it throws the 'Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet' error indicating it is not able to resolve the path to the image files.
Can someone pls. educate me on if there is a difference in the way the image files are looked up, in a CSS file, on windows vs linux.
Flex sdk version is 3.3. The same sdk is used on both windows and linux. Not sure if this has been fixed by any future 3.x sdks.
Making a piano/keyboard application and trying to figure out the best way to set this up .I plan on having a directory of sounds for each 'instrument' in my assets folder (piano1/C4.mp3,piano1/D4.mpg,...)Is there a way to import/embed all of these as an array? Also is there a way I can pass a variable to this class to indicate which folder I want to import these from? Something that would be ideal
var type = "piano2"; //passed from class being called by
foreach(notes as note){
[Embed(source = 'assets/sounds/'+type +'/'+note+'.mp3')] private const C3:Class;
public var c3:Sfx = new Sfx(C3);
}
Or would it be a better idea to have a class for each of these "types" that pulls all notes?
I am using the following line before my class declaration .
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsVERDANA.TTF", fontName="VERDANA", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype", flashType = true)]
But there is no change in the appearance of the Text whatsoever.. I need the text to be crisp and clear.Just like the way it looks when we embed the fonts using the Embed... Button in the Flash IDE.
I've been experimenting with learning game coding and have encountered an issue I'm curious about...
At the moment I have 3 GIFs and 1 sound effect being used, with more to come. Now, is it more recommended to embed these files, which I'm been doing, or is it better to load them externally? To be honest, I really hate the idea of having to load them and would much prefer to embed them directly in to my project. What is the general consensus as to which technique is better?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to embed multiple fonts in a spark RichText component but not sure how to go about it. I'm wanting to be able to display bold font using tags in HTML. With the font i'm using, the regular and bold character sets are in different .ttf files.

I have the following project structure: A Flex Project (SDK 3.3) Multiple SWCs with grafics and textfields that are used as components in the Flex project.
Since I have a lot of SWCs that all use the same font in dynamic textfields, I do not want to embed the font in every SWC.Instead I want to have a library (RSL?) with the font from where all the SWCs load the font.
I tried to build a library file with the fonts using the "Export for runtime sharing" feature in Flash.While it works perfectly when I stay in Flash, Flex throws an "internal build error" when I try to use these SWCs in Flex.
The site referenced can be found [URL] I need to embed multiple .swf files into an html file. I
prefer using swfObject. Here's what the code looks like now:
<!-- l4dt_header.swf start -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.menu = "false";
[Code] .....
What happens is one of the embededd swfs ends up overriding the other. I also need the rotating movie clip to pulse, on and off, and bright lime green. I'm aware of the glow filter in actionscript 3,
filters = [new GlowFilter(0x5d7c00,1,6,6,2,3)];,
but how would I get it to pulse?
Then if you go to the site [URL] you'll see a green cloud as that is part of the swf. I want to create the same toxic warning symbol that is rotating in the center, but much smaller, and multiple instances of it, flashing in and out at random locations in the green cloud. Then I'll be creating a Flash App where a user can can layered "posters". Is this code sufficient for allowing the user to be able to move those individual layers in perspective to the whole
App?
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void{

MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,

I have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?
View 4 RepliesI have tried this and it doesn't seem to work. In the example below the movie on the right (boy in the hat) is embedded using this procedure but the two on the left (paws moving on order button and dog animation) had to be installed using Dreamweaver's swf installation methodology. and, consequently the dog animation does not show up in Explorer 8 and some other browsers.

Is there any solution to dynamic fonts yet. I have tried to write classes and followed so much stuff on various blogs but none of them is working. For example, i'm using a font(which is not installed in most machines) say "abc" on my Input and other TextFields/Combos/Radio etc. Now no matter whatever i do, it uses some default font instead of "abc" if accessed from a PC in which this font isn't installed.
One (bad)solution is to embed fonts using the Embed button in "Properties" FOR EACH TEXT FIELd seperately and increase the file size? Still this way wouldn't work for Combos and radio Btns.
This code is giving me undefined. I have 3 flashvars in the swfobject embed code in the HTML document. How do I fix this?[code]
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to get a .swf (a game, with three total .swf files: main, title, game) onto my site and am having a problem. I understand how to actually do it and make it run (publish as HTML, copy/paste code in Dreamweaver, etc..), but my problem is having multiples .swf files and them not loading. When I embed code for one of the files, the page will play that .swf file and won't load the next .swf file (Main just contains a loader that loads title, Title will load the game .swf when prompted, Game will run). If I just 2x click the .swf files in my folder it will work, as will an .exe, but can I make it so each .swf file will play in HTML?

View 1 RepliesI have a Paul McCartney (hope I spelled that right) video that I've imported into Flash and want to play with subtitles scrolling along the bottom. (BTW-This is for educational purposes so I'm not worried about copyright infringement.) The size of the file is not important and I want to keep it monolithic so that I can give it to some of my other teachers in ONE file. So I have two buttons one for play/pause and one for stop and the movieclip's name is birthday.
The code that I'd like to use to execute the playback is:
Code:
import fl.video.*;
var isPlaying:Boolean = new Boolean();
var pausePosition:Number = new Number();
[Code].....
I can't seem to get any flv controls ( play, pause, etc .... ) when i embed the flv into the swf. It only seems to work on streaming flv's.
