I have created a Flash site that I need to add another swf file to. how I can insert this other swf file into my existing website which is also a swf file? Can it be done? I've been tinkering with adding another layer and the timelines but can't seem to get it to work. The site is using AS2 but this newer swf file which I created from SlideShow Pro is using AS3.
View 1 Repliess there a "best way", to update an existing Flash site to action script 3?
View 7 RepliesI'm still a newbie in terms of as3, but have built a code-simple flash site (using CS3 & Dreamweaver). I've only just discovered SWFAddress / SWFobject / swffit and have been combing through my flash pages to implement these oh-so helpful tools. Troubled process, as it is...
I have literally spent days (not merely hours) trying to adapt various code, watching and following tutorial and trying to adapt what I find for my existing site (which is, unto itself, still in development)
I'm trying to avoid avoid using external packages and script instead on the timeline, in keeping with how the site was originally built (with hopes this would save me from having to rebuild and reorganise the structure of the timeline - there are several gallery pages and files and buttons and cross-linking). But I'll attach here just one fla ("archives.fla") that anyone whom has experience with SWFAddress might understand what I'm contending with. I've borrowed code from so many sources at this point that the script code is sure to be bungled (one top layer of the fla file, for deep linking).
I would be ever so grateful for assistance in this regard; cannot afford to pass another day trying to figure it out (I am on a deadline)...
file to big to attach; i don't believe looking at the code will be of any use without seeing the set up and references on the timeline... but i'll insert it anyway (below). is there a way to send the file to someone directly?

The index file is .php. Now I've got this little Flash animation that we want to run first, then when it's done go to his website. When I try to add it to the top of the index page all that happens is the site loads like in normally did but with the Flash movie at the top instead of being another page. What do we need to do to have it load on it's own first?

I'm currently making a website and flash game for a university project but have come across a problem i really cannot solve.
The site is now full functioning and just needs a few tweaks here and there, I started work on adding in the flash game i created.
At the moment on the "games" page there is a button which takes you to the next frame on which there is a movieclip for the game to load into. On this frame i have the following code:
Actionscript Code:
loadMovie("maze.swf", "gameBox");stop();
-maze.swf is the filename of the game
-gameBox is the movieclip i want it to load into
Ok so the game itself displays fine and the character moves as it should but for some reason anything that relies on hit tests now fails to work (walls, enemies, powerups etc.) Everything works as it should when i test the maze.swf on it's own but doesn't when it's embedded into the site.
I've searched the web and tried a number of different approaches to embed a font in my Flash movie but each has ended in frustration. I have created several buttons with dynamic text fields that use the font I need. I have added the font to my library, given it a unique name, exported for actionscript and then used the unique name when selecting the font in my dynamic text fields. I am probably not using the right AS code to embed and use the font. What's the easiest way to embed the font? I am also using the same embedded font in a around 5 flash movies on the site.
View 5 Repliesi'm trying to make a quick and easy personal flash website in a short period of time, and i've decided to use 'pictobrowser' [URL] software to create a slideshow gallery easily (my flash knowledge isn't great and my time is limited!). basically it pulls photo info from my flickr sets and creates a slideshow- but all it gives me is some html coding and i'm not sure how to incorporate this into the flash file so it loads every time the page loads.

If I hard code the php file with the values listed above, everything works perfectly. But I'm using a php script that checks the directory for images, then provides that output.
when I first created my website I defined it in a random folder of my own choosing. Now, many months of construction later I want add some php related stuff and have to setup a proper local testing server.
I therefore have to move the whole thing to an htpdocs subfolder in MAMP - how can I do this so all links and filepaths etc are updated?

View 1 RepliesHere is my situation:
I have a Flash file hosted at:
http://static.mydomain.com/flash.swf
I have a web page that embeds that Flash file at:
http://www.mydomain.com/embed.html
The <embed> code for that SWF has the "allowScriptAccess" parameter set to "sameDomain". Currently, I cannot put links in "flash.swf" that change the location of the embedding page, because they are on different domains, and making a getURL() or ExternalInterface call won't be permissible.
Changing "allowScriptAccess" to "always" is not an option. Putting both files on the same domain is also not an option.
Policy files don't seem to be the solution (perhaps I'm coding them wrong?) and changing the "document.domain" of the embedding page doesn't seem to work either.
This is what I am trying to do, but I am not sure if this ispossible with the constrains of AS3.I am trying to embed the font outlines to be used fordynamically created textfields by creating (using the Flash IDE) adynamic text field off of the stage, embedding the fonts in it andthen refer to the font when creating a TextField using code.
Here is some quick sample code...

i have made a site in flash. stage size 955x600 i have exported it as fullscreen with no scale. the problem is that if i browse the site with a resolution of 800x600 (760x420 if i'm not wrong), the browser dont' add scrolls and its impossible to see the complete site. How can i fix this without resizing the site. i want the users to see with the proportions that i have now.. ijust want a scroll on the browser.
View 2 RepliesI got a XFL file, its library files and AS files in a directory.I would like to use Flash Builder 4(FB) for editing AS files, running the compiled SWF and profiling.When I created a New->ActionScript project in FB, I could edit the AS files but didn't know how to link the XFL file and run them.When I created a New->Flash Professional Project, I was prompted for a XFL file, and although the chosen XFL file and the AS files are in a same directory, the AS files are not automatically included in the project. I couldn't find a way to add exiting files in the project either.

View 2 RepliesA project I'm involved in has a specific requirement where a layer must be added on top of an existing SWF. The SWF is created by converting a PDF using SWFTools pdf2swf. This layer will be used to add interactive elements like videos or sound on top of the existing text content in the SWF.
My problem is, when I try to import the SWF into Flash Pro, it sort of breaks up and it's not possible to see the SWF or its elements correctly.
I've tried making the SWF a MovieClip symbol after importing and called its play() and gotoAndPlay(i) methods to no avail. Using an external SWF with a loader works, but the SWF should be internal so the whole project can be compiled to iOS and Android in one go.
Are there any other methods I could use to interact with a SWF and make it work inside my FLA project?
Immediately after finding out I was laid off I began to try and increase my online presence by building a webpage.I found a flash web template that I was able to highly customize however I can't figure out how to add additional hyperlinks, images, etc. This crosses the line between dreamweaver and flash. The flash file is a complied file that flash creates and I can only edit it if I have all the original files (kinda, there are other ways around that). Anyways, I have all the files, I think however I still can't seem to figure it out.
I would like to add additional images, hyperlinks, and maybe even move some stuff around however it seems like everything is either locked down of difficult to modify. I have looked around online for some good tutorials however I can't seem to find any that match what I'm trying to do. Would it be best to try and build the hyperlinks in flash or should I do that in dreamweaver? Dreamweaver I'm guessing, however since I'm editing the site via .xml the insert hyperlink capabilities within dreamweaver are not enabled unless I'm directly editing the index.html. By the way, I'm using CS4 Flash and Dreamweaver. [URL].
I was curious if you can take an existing flash program and get it to run in Air, or do you have to recode the entire thing. I see lots of stuff on Flex to Air, but not much of anything on Flash to Air.
View 5 RepliesI have a corporate flash-file which is pretty advanced, much more so than I could have developed myself. The company want this flash to have an intro screen before the actual content starts with a button choosing what of two parts to load. [code]I've tried with adding a frame before the actual content, adding an extra scene and loading the swf from another one. Nothing have worked so far and I am running out of ideas. The .fla-file only really consists of a background, some shadows since the actionscripts, images and other resources are external.
