I have a .mov movie that I want to play on my website. In years past, I would use Adobe Video Encoder CS3 (I believe that's what it was called) and would turn the file into a .flv. Then, I believe I would use swfobject and it would display with the typical play and expand to full size buttons as well as the timeline.
I downloaded the latest version of swfobject (2.2) but this only seems to play swf files.
I'm just wondering why my swf files won't play when I upload them along with my HTML file to the server.
The problem can be seen at the following [url]... Can't get my embedded swf files to play in HTML file
I inserted the swf in 'insert media' - 'shockwave' and the thing works when I press play to view it within dreamweaver. However, when I try to view it on a browser, either locally or remotely, it doesn't work.
I'm trying to get a .swf (a game, with three total .swf files: main, title, game) onto my site and am having a problem. I understand how to actually do it and make it run (publish as HTML, copy/paste code in Dreamweaver, etc..), but my problem is having multiples .swf files and them not loading. When I embed code for one of the files, the page will play that .swf file and won't load the next .swf file (Main just contains a loader that loads title, Title will load the game .swf when prompted, Game will run). If I just 2x click the .swf files in my folder it will work, as will an .exe, but can I make it so each .swf file will play in HTML?
View 12 RepliesI need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf .The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page.The following items have not worked: soundChannel.stop();,soundMixer.stopAll()

View 2 RepliesIs there a solution to have the background audio/music play across multiple page on a website, WITHOUT restarting on every page load.The website currently uses a frameset, but I'm looking for an alternative.
View 2 Replieswhen you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"
I'm trying to build a Video Player with Flash CS3 and actionscript 3.0. I need the player to support flv and wmv files. What is the best approach to load wmv files to play in Flash? Is there a way to dynamically encode the wmv files from my xml to flv files?

When I publish the swf file with html, it works fine on my computer. If I send it to my old computer with Win XP and for most other people it works fine. But there are some who just get a black screen when it plays or a "get flashplayer" symbol. They update and it still doesn't work. They do not have a company setting that does not allow them to play the file and I have walked them through the browser settings so that anything should play. But still, no luck.
View 2 RepliesI have two flash files that I would like to play back to back in the same location on my site. I would like one to play, and then when it's done, I want the other to play in its location.
I googled around and read up on the loadmovie variable, which I thought that is what I needed, but it isn't working.
To start out, what I did was create a new flash file, then I inserted an image into the timeline on its own layer, converted it to a movie clip (named pic_mc), did a fadeout effect on that image, then I created a new layer, and on the frame directly after the image, I put the following:
Code:
loadMovie("/images/preferred-reseller-hosting-0001.swf", "pic_mc")
I then ran a test (ctrl+enter) and all I see is the fade out image, and not the other flash movie. I even uploaded the .swf to my site and tested it there in a real world situation, and it didn't work. It just fades the image out and restarts the movie.
Is it possible to play these files in Adobe Flex or flash?
View 2 RepliesI am in need of a Flash swf that is capable of loading PCM WAV files via a url passed to it.
An example of the file can be found here: [URL]
The swf does not need a visible interface, as it is meant for audio playing only and not user interaction.
The swf should have a simple javascript interface for page-level interactions. These include:
load(url): loads a PCM WAV file over the internet using the url that is passed through it.
play(): Should play the PCM WAV file that was loaded
stop(): Should stop playing the current file.
I can provide a sample audio file that matches the specifications if the developer is unable to obtain a url from the link posted above.
I'm using the video class to play .mov files, but when I publish my work, I can't see the video. There is no error, and I can even hear the sound of the .mov file. I tried downloading a quicktime plug-in for firefox, but it just led me to a download page for quicktime 7, which I downloaded anyway just in case. is there anyway to know the dimensions that the swf will be contained in, because this will help me implement a full screen feature.
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a game that loops a random sound file everytime the user goes to the menu. When I tried the simulate download in the preview menu, it took a long time to load the first frame (which is a preloader). I found the problem was that in the linkage for the sound files I said "Export on first frame" so i unchecked that box, but then when I tried playing again, the sound wouldn't load.So, I'm wondering, is there a way to play sound files through ActionScript without having to load them on the first frame?

View 3 RepliesWas just wondering if its possible to have a two swf files on the same html page that can communicate to each other.
I have one movie that asks a series of question and what I'd like to happen is for those results to be shown in the 2nd swf. Sounds simple, which means it probably isnt
In main.swf I loaded file.swf as:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file.swf");
When main swf loaded in HTML with an absolute link like:[URL].. It reports 404 error loading failed of file.swf
Because it looks for file.swf at current web host.What's the best way to do this without hard code absolute url in main.swf?
I have been desperate to find how to do this. I have found some answers to this, but nothing I can make work. The main place I have found is[URL].. and it wants to have the html docs as a template for flash. This is just confusing the issue and would rather find an example and don't mind editing and adding things by hand. I know this is difficult, at least from what I read and I don't know what I am missing. I assume the java in the html is what is messing me up.I don't have mx, so I cannot do the local thing, and need a flash 4 or 5 way of doing this. I have found some small ways of java, but I need to instruct the second movie to go to a label depending on what button is pressed in the first movie.

I've created a full screen flash website. When I test the file in flash, its all good. Now I need to put it online to show the client, but whenever I try to do this...all I get is a black screen.

import caurina.transitions.properties.ColorShortcuts;

nothing is wrong when I test the actual SWF from Flash, or even just open the SWF in windows...
When the web page is loaded the flash (and PHP) is going to load up a Yahoo! page [URL]and somehow load the daily Couples horoscope into my dynamic text box. If you look at the source of that HTML page, it has the following:

My question is, how do i get actionscript & PHP to load that horoscope into my text box? My current source is attached (in MX 2004 format).

I have a series of animations of graphs etc in different flash files. Tried to put everything on the one timeline but was getting way too confusing so thought I would put each part in a separate flash file.
What I want to do is, once one file has come to an end load the next one up to play and so on. This is all part of a presentation so the user will click the keyboard to progress to the next file.
