Playing And Sending Stand-alone Swf ?
Jul 7, 2010
i've got Flash installed and i use it to create a fancy thing. a .swf. A regular swf.When i open the swf straight from a folder, it opens in "Flash Player".not in any browser.When I send the swf to my boss, or anyone that does not have the Flash Application installed, it doesn't quite work right.They DO have the latest browser flash player plugins installed and it works if they drag the swf into the browser.BUT how can we get it to play stand alone, the same as I can do. It seems you could download the Flash Player for the desktop.

I have recently been having problems with my swf file. When i export it by hitting "command enter" it seems to export fine. But then I realized that when i exit flash and click to view the swf it opens up in flash instead of the flash player as it normally does. The other implications of this is that when I send the swf file to someone who doesn't have flash (but is able to play swf files) they are not able to open the files because it wants to open up in flash.The file is a simple web banner that is limited to 40kb.

Look into creating a Flash "Projector" file. It's an exe, executable file and can self-contain the player you need to play the Flash without opening the browser.In the "Publish" setings, check the projector box. Here's a link to one tutorial but their are lots more, Google "Flash Projector files"[URL]

I have a stick figure fighting game I'm currently working on. I've animated the moves and the walking, ect. But now I wanna make it so the players can only stand on one mc, GameArea.I tried the script that came with part of the tutorial, but nothing happen:[code]If this way isn't a possible, then I'd just like to limit the players on how high/low they can move.

I'm a bit frustrated as I've created a Flash movie with an embedded video.The SWF file works fine when I play it as a stand alone file but when I use the file inside my website, the video portion does not play.I have placed the video file and the Flash file in the correct folder on my site.

I have in a previous project published a game as a standalone app and run it full screen. It would allow users to put their info in for high scores.
Now i am working on another game that will be published as a standalone app. It will need to be full screen and have an entry form at the end for high scores. It does not seem to allow the keyboard to enter text in an input box. Is this true?
Note, this is not an swf played through a browser, but an actual .exe generated from Flash CS5. If this is true, is there a workaround. I need if full screen with keyboard input.

I've created a very large scale Flash game and have apparently had a massive oversight - the flash portal websites wishing to host my game need it in one stand alone .swf. However, the problem is I load everything externally. I load the level data from .plist files, the images from .png and the sound from .wav, all located in folders in the .swf directory. They're loaded through Loader's and URLRequest.
Is there any way I can embed these so it will run as a stand alone? Preferably an easier way than individually writing embed lines, as there are 1000s of files.

I've looked online at different quiz-building tutorials, but almost all of them are for stand-alone quizzes. I am adding the quiz as part of a whole interface design. When you click on one of the sign buttons I have on it, a mask will appear and the first four quiz questions will appear. Once those are answered, the next four will appear (probably when they click "next" or something). When I get to the end, I want the results of their quiz to appear.I want to try to use the code my teacher wrote for me so I don't have to build anything extra.if that doesn't work, can I embed a .swf into the file I'm working on? I need this quiz; everything else in my project is done (aside from some tweaking) and I need this finished AND working by Dec. 17.[code]

Is it possible to generate an executable file from a flash executable file? A client has requested a quote from that will allow them to do the following: This whole thing needs to reside on a CD/DVD.
There is a bank of 10 images. The user selects any 5 images they want. The user saves those 5 images as a slideshow / powerpoint / executable file?
Are there other utilities that can do this kind of thing? Is flash the wrong development tool? Are there other tools out there that perform this type of function?
Google has provided no results for me. I've often lurked through the forums here and I thought that maybe the community here may have some answers as I can't seem to find them anywhere.

vCtlrsLdr.load(reqst);
vidCtrls = MovieClip(vCtlrsLdr.content);

I'm going to design an electronic card later in Flash (CS3 & CS 4) and I wonder if anyone has a link to any decent tutorials (or tips 'n' tricks)? I'm particularly keen to creat a rolling snowfall.
Also, I've going to create a digital display for a stand at a tradeshow. Is Flash the best medium for this (or would it be better in something like Premiere)?

I built an information terminal for the shop of a friend of mine which uns as fullscreen application.On this terminal the swf file is running as a stand alone file by unsing the flash player directly.I want to save a snapshot (jpg) from a webcam if someboy presses a button.This does work as long as I run my application (swf) by using the browser (Firefox , Apache and localhost).But if I try to use it as it should be used no image is beeing created.
There was an error when first testing the application which forwarded me to an Adobe site where I had the possibility to grant files permissions, which I did for the file (the SWF) that needed it.Did I do something wrong, or is there some permission thet I have to grant before it works as it should be?

Can a SWF file, viewed locally in a folder on my PC, make a call to a function in a JavaScript file?I am facing a project where the technical architect is prescribing that all content exist in an all-in-one, giant JavaScript file. With my usual external content experience working with XML, I have always been able to load in XML into the SWF directly (for example, while viewing the SWF in the Flash authoring environment - a very speedy way to view your SWF), as well as when the SWF is actually viewed in the website. However, with the JavaScript approach, my only experience tells me that the SWF has to be embedded in HTML before it has access to the JS functions.

I'm currently working on a AS3 audio app that has a series of embedded audio files. The stand-alone SWF is +600k in size. When the SWF is partially loaded if you unload it, to exit the page or display a Lightbox over the top, it generates a 'Load Never Completed.' error.And crashes the Firefox browser.Fix run time error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.It's not possible to catch this error as it occurs before the first class has initialised.No idea why Flash Player can't make the IOErrorEvent silent for stand-alone SWF's loading into a browser, or is it a browser specific issue? It only seems to effect Firefox, I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, Firefox 32 bit. Any suggestions as a work around for this while keeping it as a stand-alone file? Was thinking the only way is to cut down on the file size but that would either mean making the mp3 assets easy to get hold, load them in on a public path, or load them in using FMS or HDS.

anyone know where i can get the release stand-alone flash player 9?
I am running Windows, and have the debug stand-alon flash player 9, but I want the release version to be used for this as it is faster at rendering and calculations. I just wanted it so I could replace my release stand-alone flash player 8 with it, so flash will then use this for me. I looked all over the internetz, and i only found the debug player.

I have a huge problem. I have a menu in Flash MX (AS2), it's pretty straightforward: It's a list of links but each time you mouseover one several related ones highlight (the client really wanted this). The code on each button is:
[Code]...
This works fine in IE8, it works fine in the preview in flash, but in FF/Chrome the rollovers work but the link is not clickable. Nothing happens on click. I thought this was perhaps a plug in issue, but when I loaded the movie in FF but not embeded into html it worked fine, it's only when it's embedded into html that the links won't click. The movie is here and the movie in a plain html page is here.[URL]..

I'm trying to communicate my SWF file with PHP using Zend_Amf. I compile the flash side using Flex SDK 4.Whenever I try to run the swf using the stand alone player (the projector), I always get a NetConnection.Call.BadVersion event. However, when running exactly the same file thorught the player of the browser (even not thoguht a server, just using the file:// kind of address), everything works OK, so I know my code is not completely wrong. However, I added the folder where my swf file is to the global trusted folder; and actually made sure that Security.sandboxType returns "localTrusted".

I've been working on a small simple air application and an interesting question has come up. Assuming the application will be a stand alone item when installed on the client's computer - what is the best way to store and present the associated dynamic data with the project?
Right now I have the data saved as three external XML files. I suppose the question is - how do I make the XML data an integral part of the app? Should I keep it in a separate file system or should I put the XML data directly into an AS file - or - should I consider some other method of storing the relevant data. (An Array or ?) The data is not a huge amount, but it is adding up to be several hundred items.

I am using a simple:

On a button in a digital business card (and publishing as a flash.exe file). While I can get a button to link to the internet it does not seem inclined to bring up email.

I am developing a touch screen application in flash right now. There is a video and when I try to play it, it will take up the whole screen on the stand alone player, but what I want is the video to play on its exact size not taking up the full screen.
