One of my .SWFs is 95Mb, I have the animation in .MOV form and have been trying to play it inside the .SWF, but it would not play on Newgrounds, for example. I know you might have to make the .MOV play from a server to play on the web, but Im not sure how to go about doing that. Ive just never had to put my animation in .MOV form then back into a separate .SWF due to being such a large .SWF to begin with.

There's quite a few questions about playing SWF in a Java Desktop Application but none, that I could find, addresses the Mac platform.
I know it is possible on Windows using JFlashPlayer (now discontinued) but it doesn't support Mac. Their FAQ suggests using QuickTime for Java on the Mac but that has been deprecated by Apple many years ago so I doubt it is still possible to make it work in a reliable way for a DVD distributable software product.
There's been suggestions about using JavaFX Webview and embedding the Flash plugin inside an HTML page but Webview does not support plugins and no support is planned as far as I know.
So given this panorama is there any suggestion on how to play SWF files embedded in a Java desktop application on the Mac platform? To play them on a browser outside is not an option.
UPDATE: Found the DJ Project that supports Flash Player on the Mac!
I've published this small swf file and it plays allright when I preview it but when I insert it in an html page (DW) it just won't play.
I won't attach the swf this time because I suspect that is why this same post I placed here yesterday never got listed but in any case I think the problem is not with the file itself but perhaps something in DW that I'm not handling well. I inserted it in a div btw via the flash option in the insert menu.

View 11 Repliesgetting a rotating banner I downloaded to actually work on my home page. So I'm using FrontPage 2003. I've got my index page open and I select Insert, Picture, Movie in Flash Format. I browse through my subfolder and select the swf file. But it will not play!However, when I follow the exact same steps, but on a page that is located within the subfolder where all the files are located, the video plays just fine. So I know it probably has something to do with my file path, but I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My files are located like this:
root -
index.html
subfolder-
(There is the deploy folder which has two subfolders in it - banner and js.)
deploy/
banner/content/images/image1.jpg
banner/content/images/image2.jpg[code]......
I've tried copying and pasting all of the files so they're in the root folder, and then embedding the swf, and it still doesn't work.I've tried editing the banner.xml page and telling all the folder paths to start from the root folder, and that hasn't worked either.
So this is where I'm stumped. I have 2 scenes, the first scene has "mc1" and the second scene has "mc2" and a button inside it. how do i get the button in mc2 to play mc1?

I have a site I've added a few new modules to, but the video player module just doesn't want to play at all All the components load when I test the movie but none of the external data loads, and when I test the scene with all components on its own it works fine.I've tried a few things but, still can't get this to work, and I've even tried downloading another multi video player and it did the same thing, I don't know where I'm going wrong It's all contained in a movieclip called 'bsv' and as I said works fine when I do test scene or be able to take a look at the site if I were to upload it?

View 2 RepliesIs a website with a banner
the banner is a symbol in the main movie called [B]screen[B]
the 3 external swf files are: mov01, mov02, mov03
i use the loader component but play 1 file only
i need play the 3 movies random in the "screen symbol" inside the main movie.
So, in my base flash file I have movieclips playing inside of a container.
They are cued from external .swf files.
When one is pushed another checks to see if that movie is at its "midframe" and then plays the remainder of that movie before playing the movie that was pushed.
ALL OF THIS, works fine. The problems is that I have a button inside of these movieclips that I need to play the remainder of the movie to then return to the main menu.
This is the code on the buttons which cycle through the movieclips:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "illustration";
container.loadMovie(illustration);
[Code].....
If I wanted the movie to only return to to the main menu I could use this code, but it's flawed for two reasons:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
a. This doesn't play the rest of the movie before returning to the main menu.
b. Once it returns you to the main menu, none of the other movies will play again.

View 1 RepliesIt's been asked something like a million times and will probably continue to be asked long as there remains one Newbie on the planet. It is: How does one play an external swf inside a movie clip? But before the reader does an eye-roll-yawn, maybe just maybe it's not as simple as that��at least not to me�� there's more.... For stage simplicity's in this play lets get the characters straight. Lets call the external mc MC Orangutang and the main 'Big Movie where we want that Orangutang to perform [MC Buffalo. First, Buffalo is not a button but is a brief mc animation.
Second, Orangutang is not alone. There are two other MCs that also need to ride the buffalo. Call them what you will; but they are short little MCs that must all come riding onto the stage on the back of MC Buffalo. Third, I have the idea (or maybe its an obsession that) that it is a Flash-Wise idea to have all their aerobatics performed inside of an Empty Movie Clip. Hence, the Circus wold ideally run like this: Click on the MC Buffalo and it plays it short skit, then immediately imports or whatever we want to call it, the three jungle friends at which point all of them are now visible sharing the same stage and obediently waiting for a user to rollover/click on one of them.
All the jungle creatures perform annoyingly perfect when on their own (outside the Big movie Buffalo) but the very second we attempt to bring anyone of those recalcitrant beasts into the movie theater it's poof and he/she/it/they vanish without even a dirty little foot print on stage. I'm embarrassed to confess that I have spent (feels like wasted) weeks, yes weeks hoping to do this on my own but no joy! So, I now turn to the Geniuses.
How do I make this effect... to Drag a CD image, (about 300x300 pxls) to the right of the stage and at the same time, while dragging, making the cd to flip in position to get inside a CD drive or something? When released inside the drive, a music clip would play. If release outside, go back in initial position.

View 7 RepliesDoes anyone knows how something similar can be done: [URL] surface I mean the video clips, which zoom when you mouse over them, then when you click they will go forward, blurring the background.

View 2 Repliesis there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
i want to create a site where buttons go to different pages, but those pages have animations in and out.so if someone is in one page, and clicks a button to go to another, that page plays the "out" animation while the other page plays the "in" animation.
I placed a movie clip instance inside a button, and I want this movie clip to play when the button is released. I'm using this code on the frame containing the button:
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent)
{
this.theButton.theMC.gotoAndPlay(3);

I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
