I made an ad with Flash and published to a .swf file. When I uploaded to my website (used Dreamweaver CS4) it looks fine on my computer but on other computers the nice font I used is different, (plain fonts). Is there a better way to publish so the font is embedded into the file and not effected by the fonts on others computer?

View 1 RepliesI have built a website in FLASH CS4 (version 10). The website runs perfectly on my MAC core 8 but when I view it on either of my laptops (both are also Macs couple months old) the main title of the site + the on/off for the music appears in a completely different font and one word of the title disappears.I have tried turning the title to a button and to a movie and kept it as text and nothing makes a difference..
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.
View 2 Repliesmy listener.onComplete = function(selectedFile:FileReference) is fired without any file in the upload dir. if the file is small and I wait a bit I can see the file (through FTP) coming up on the server, but most of the times the "onComplete" if fired without any file being saved.
can I add something to this php code to make sure the file is uploaded?

i am trying to make an as3 file in two different computers. they both have cs3, and there are some things that 1. tell me flash is buggy, 2. dont know how reliable it is the script, if is gonna run different in each computer.
i am trying to do somethings with matrix transform. i want some sprite to react according to mouse moment, so basically, according to mouse position, there are some statements and the result is a transform on the sprite.
something like
in onenterframe (or the handler that was set as handler of enterframe) {
temp_matrix = sprite transform
new_matrix = new Matrix();
[code]....
var2.concat with something else, then i check the value of var1, would it have changed also?, if so, is there a way to copy a matrix (but not cell by cell)?
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I've created a flash project that works fine on my computer locally. When I take it to another computer(I've tried 3-4), my keyboard events are not working. I used Actionscript 3 to create the file. I've checked to see that the other computers had the latest version of Flash player, but it's still not working on those computers. Does anyone know why my file may not be working? Is there a specific plugin/download I need to have to make my files work?

Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

If you have an .as file in the global include directory do you have to upload it to your server with the flash file or does it compile the flash file with the included info?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out if there is a way to allow a user to upload a file in the background and let them continue to interact with flash movie, while the file is being uploaded. E.g. if they are uploading a 50mb file, we don't want the whole interface to be locked up for 10 minutes while the file uploads, it's be great if they can continue to interact in the movie while the file uploads. I'm guessing if they refresh the page, or navigate away from the movie, that the upload process would get cut off and there isn't anyway around that. Couple of ideas I had:
1. My first thought is that we could use a popup window with a upload form in it. Which is simple, but not very cool.
2. Use some sort of ajax background uploader in conjunction with flash ... not sure exactly if this is possible.

View 2 RepliesI recently used Flash to create the header for my website. However, when I tried to upload my .fla file along with the .swf (which had no problem), I couldn't because the file format isn't supported. Is there any way I can get around this?
Also, I heard that you have to upload some .js file or something.
uploading files on Mac system. The same code runs perfect on a Windows system. Below is a snippet of the code I am using:
public class BrowseImage extends MovieClip
{
public var fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
public var ff:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images", "*.jpg;*.gif;*.png;*.pdf,*.JPG,*.JPEG,*.GIF,*.PNG");
private var timeStamp:String;
[code].....
Once the file gets uploaded to the server, I load it into my application.Also, the script runs fine if there isn't any space in the file name of the file to be uploaded.

I'm working with Air and in Flash CS5. I've got AIR saving a string in a variable to a file:
[Code]...
It works fine. I'd now like to upload the file just created to a server. I've been playing around with a var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference(); example. I was wondering if there was a way to automatically upload the file, or if a browse is always required? If not, I have previously used the following AS3 code to successfully send a string of data to a php file, and have php save the data as a file with whatever name is set in the php file.
[Code]....
i have a file uploader in AS3, and can successfully save a file using php. I'd like to also send variables along with the file, have php process the variables, and display them back in Flash.
In a separate project, I was able to get variables from flash-php-flash, but I can't work out how to do this while also uploading a file. I get a null reference error in the completeHandler function when flash tries to display the vars coming back from php.
