FLV And SWF Videos On Site - How To Block Redirects
Feb 4, 2010
I am working on an archive that contains a large number of flv and swf videos. The plan is to make this archive available to my site visitors to be able to go back and look at some of the old flash videos. Simple enough. The problem is that most of these videos have a redirect at the end which will send you to a website that no longer exists and I do not have the original fla's to work with. These files are pretty old. So, what I'm looking for is a way to prevent these redirects and keep my visitors on my site.
I am making a flash site and am trying to have a link which redirects to another site. The problem is the redirect address has an e with the accent ' above it. When I copy the link directly into flash, it converts it to code in the URL bar.How do I make the link in flash so that it keeps it as an accented letter in the URL bar?
how to put videos from youtube in my flash site. I saved the file and put the video file in the host folder and linked it to the flv player. But it takes longer than the actual youtube video. I wanted the video to be directly from youtube. How can I do this?
How I would go about making a rating system that I could load as a .swf into my main swf? Also have multiple rating systems instead of just 1? I have videos on a big flash site and I am interested in putting a rating system in.
I am creating a flash site and am trying to make it SEO. I'm thinking a possible solution would be to render html to any search engine bot, or to anyone who needs accessibility, and rendering the flash site for the rest of the users.First question is, is this acceptable for google, and SEO in general?This would mean I would redirect urls to flash users from only if they weren't a bot of some sort.Second question is, is it possible to do this in javascript or rails?I would do this by capturing the URL, checking to see who the user is (is it google, or is it a human), I'm just not sure how to do this with javascript/rails, whatever need be. Then once I found "hey this is google", I would return the html page; if it was a user, I'd return flash.
I have a flash app that uses the FileReference download method to serve up download links. Many of the links come from big content delviry networks and a crossdomain policy file is required to avoid a security error. This all works fine. Except for redirects in IE... in FF redirects work.
A typical Charles log in FF looks like this....
Code: 1) 302: download file temporarily moved 2) 302: download file found 3) 200: download file received OK
[Code].....
....the request for the crossdomain policy file is not being made in IE & thus flash blocks access to the download (client closed connection). The flash throws the traditional 2048 security error - which is what I'd expect if no crossdomain is available. It's worth noting that downloads without a redirect work fine in IE, the crossdomain is requested & received.
As far as I can make out there is no way to force "checkPolicyFile" with FileReference - it doesn't take a LoaderContext object. I'm at a loss of what I can do to resolve this without putting a proxy on our webserver (the backend guru will not allow this as the downloads can be quite large & he thinks will end up being a huge bottleneck).
hey there i have a series of jpegs about 7 with the dimensions of 190width x 500 hieght and i need to make them into a swf to put on a sponsors site which i need to embed a link so that it redirects to my website

We are working on a plugin for the JWPlayer and I noticed that in Chrome specifically, we are running into issues with the 302 redirect urls that we're using. The JWPlayer is not recognizing the redirect which contains url-based flashvars which we need. So here's my question(s):
1) Is there a way using AS3 to get the response headers from a url when NOT using AIR?
2) Is there any known issues with Chrome and 302 redirects that might be enough to trip up Flash?
3) What is the best method to handle a 302 redirect? The current issue is that there is a queue'd process and none of the other steps can continue without the first one and if the first one fails because it didn't get the proper flashvars, then the whole thing fails.
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.
I maintain two web sites and am reasonably competent in Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Now to get into Flash.I want to produce a banner which shows a flag + Welcome in that language and have about 20 nations to cover. Can anyone please point me to a guide as to how to get this started?
the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.
Forgive if I am not explaining this very well- here goes. I have one major site with three other gallery sites that are related. From one of the gallery sites I need to create a button that takes you back to a specific page on the major site.
I've got an AIR app that is loading mx:HTMLs. I would like to block the ads that show in them just like Adblock Plus for Firefox does (see http://adblockplus.org/en/). I subscribe to the Easylist USA filter.
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"); thisHtmlWindow.open(); thisHtmlWindow.htmlContent.htmlLoader.load(req);
I don't know where to begin to interrupt the HTML GET-ting process in actionscript. This is where I suspect I can add the HTTP filter. It'd be nice to subscribe to the filter and periodically download it/update it to make sure the major ad networks are blocked.
I was wondering if its still necessary to build a html site aswell as a Flash Site? Or is there a definitive and failsafe way to incorporate html into my flash site? SEO is a very important factor for me. I read this article: url...by Geoff Sterns in 2006, resulting in the following[code]
ok i'll try and explain this best i can, on my site i have a menu that takes up the whole of the content area.. the plan is that when the user clicks the menu button within a content page the menu would appear over the top however with a slightly transparent background so you can still see the last visible content page in the layer underneath.. i've got this to work however the buttons within the content page are still active.. is there a way i can make the menu layer 'solid' so the content below is only visible but not accessible?
I want a movieclip to appear in a drag and drop game. When you successfully drag the right object and drop it then an animation is called from the library.The animation doesn't appear. However, when I use the same code at the beginning of my programme it does appear so it's not that part of the code that is the problem. Also, a trace statement does trace so it is running the code.[code]...
I am trying to make a pong like game but i need to find the offset from the center of the paddle so that i can make it bounce differently depending on where it hits the paddle. How can i achieve this?
I want to make a synchronous request to a server. I want the entire program to stop processing anything until the request is complete and the server has responded; what is the proper way of doing this?
