Flash :: Degredation Alternative Text In IE When File Not Found
Mar 23, 2011
Searching in Google for ways to gracefully degrade Flash naturally yields many results relating to the lack / disabling of browser support for Flash.In Firefox it seems to work as expected whereby the alternative text kicks in - e.g. "We could not load this content (the file may not exist, or you may need to install Flash)". In Internet Explorer the element (e.g. 500x500px) loads but it is empty/blank instead of displaying alternative text.[code]

What I am after is some code that will load an alternative page if the user doesn't have flash installed - I think its using the onload code in the html of the flash page. "I've figured out how to load an alternative page using "onload" as part of the body tag if no flash player is found" - alas he is not around to post it though.

limiting or correcting the behaviour of FileReference.save isn't possible.Can anyone suggest an alternative (server is Apache/PHP) that matches all of my criteria from this post and avoids the pitfalls I discussed with Jacob?I'm saving an image from my AS3 app using FileReference.save(). This is the code, which works fine:[code]This opens up the save file dialog as expected. I'm using this rather than sending the byteData to PHP because I want the user to have a familiar dialog box that lets them set their own file name.
The problem comes when users have their operating system configured to display file extensions, like I do. This means that in the save dialog the file name contains the extension as seen in the image below, and so it is very easy for the user to delete that extension when they rename the file. Because the default file type for this box is 'All files', if the extension is deleted the file is saved with no type.I don't know of any way to force a file type on the save dialog (if there is one that would be my preferred route) so failing that can anyone suggest a safe way for me to do this that still allows the user to set the file name themselves using a standard dialog for their OS?I did try putting in a call to FileReference.browse() before the save() as shown in this tutorial, but that throws an error because you can only perform one FileReference call at a time.

I'm trying to read bmp fille byte by byte and then redraw it. For that I made a .fla file for veiwing and .as file for coding. I just started coding and made import to the follwing files in this scenario and I get errors while debugging.
Code:- package
{
import flash.filesystem.File;[code]....
Error Message:-
1172: Definition flash.filesystem:File could not be found.1172: Definition flash.filesystem:FileMode could not be found.1172: Definition flash.filesystem:FileStream could not be found.5000: The class 'FileStreamLive' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
I've seen many samples on filestreaming but all were using the mxml scripting that I don't know

I know how to load in .jpg and .swf files via XML, but the issue in which I want to cover is to have the two alternate. See what I'm going is I'm going to have a quote show up (animated in SWF) then once that finishes, it fades into a JPG. That will in turn fade back to another SWF and then the cycle continues. These will be loaded randomly, but I would like it if I were able to keep it in that order of random swf, then random image, then random SWF and back again.

I am using a PC and my consultant is on a Mac. I have sent her my working files along with a folder of referenced .as files. For some reason, when she goes to compile her movie it gives an error that the referenced .as file cannot be found. It works fine on my machine.
I have double and triple checked to ensure she has all the correct files within the correct local directories so I am completely stumped. I am using Flash CS4 and she is on CS5

I am using FlashDevelop to develop flex applications and wanted to paint a LineChart in a panel. I used an example of Adobe itself to be found here. When I compiled it FlashDevelop showed the following output file type was not found or was not a compile-time constantFor Both LineChart and AreaChart.Can someone tell me why this happens? I also tried it in the code by importing mx.charts.LineChart, my code completion found the classes but when compiling the same error occurs.

Im trying to set some text using a TLF text inside Flash CS5. I create a TLF text inside a movieclip, to later access and modify that text at runtime, the problem is, when I load the symbol of the movieclip from Flash Builder, it says that it cant be found, If I delete the TLF text, and publish it again, it works ok... I have no compilation errors.
What cuould be the issue?, doesn't matter if I assign an instance name to the text or not, as soon as I place the TLF text there, my main swf's symbol cant be found..

So, I've been working on this for a few days and what drives me nuts is this is a simple file with a lot of simple script and I still can't figure out what this error is and how to fix it: Property 0 not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value The script below what we're looking at, everything is drawn with AS3, there are no library objects (save for the font). I sort of understand what the error is saying, but I don't fully understand it or how to fix it.

Edit: I've searched through similar problems, but couldn't find a proper solution.

I am compiling my css files to swf files and loading them at run time. I have no problem compiling these and using ClassReference statements most of the time:
[Code]...
Does not work. The difference is that the HeaderBackground is a class in the same project as the css file. That does compiel fine if I move the style into my mxml file though.
I wonder if the compiler uses different source paths when compiling the css fiels or something. This is in FlashBuilder 4 build 269271 SDK 13963

We have developed a magazine reader which is basically PHP application. Admin panel is built in PHP but when any user wants to read a particular magazine, it is handled by Flash i.e. we are embedding the .swf object with HTML in PHP page. But flash is not supported in iPad/iPhone. So we want to create this application in Xcode so that user can read the magazine in iPhone/iPad also. There is confusion how it can be accomplished.

I'm currently loading a remote swf through as3 (with a domain policy to allow all from that domain - the policy file can't be changed by myself), that i want to take a snapshot of. The problem is that the main swf that i load, is loading child swf's from another domain that does not have the allow all policy turned on.. This makes the snapshot feature call a "sandbox security" error. I'm wondering if there's an alternative to the bitmapdata draw function to still take a "snapshot" without conflicting the sandbox security.

Ok we all know that you can embed assets with Flex using the [embed] code.
But is there anyway to achieve something similar to this when working with only Flash?
For example:I need to create a class (that contains certain assets) that needs to be used in the Flash IDE, but I don't want to have to drop all the assets into the library for every Flash file that happens to use the class.
