When embedding an swf (which plays external FLVs), you have quite a bit of code generated for the HTML embed.
<script language="javascript"> if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) { alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js."); AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase',

As usual, I am tired of constantly developing something, only to realize that someone out there has already created something identical to it, and often times much better.
In an effort to avoid keep reinventing the wheel, I ask you all: What coding is needed?
What libraries do not yet exist out there that you would like to see, or would like mixed together in one easy to use package?
Like some others here, I am trying to write a music player that will play live stream (shoutcast mp3). I've tried both Flex (Flash Builder 4.5.1) and Flash CS5.5, it works great when I play the SWF on the PC, but when tranferred to the phone I hear nothing, although it is streaming, I assume that it is something to do with the permissions, but I'm not sure. The permissions I am using at the moment (for android) are as follows:

I am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')]
public function Globe()
{
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.
A Melbourne-based group, Beyond Zero Emissions, are about to release a 200+ page plan (already endorsed or supported by quite a few illustrious people) for Australia's stationary electricity to be provided entirely by wind and solar energy using existing technology by 2020. It would be great to create an interactive map that would show in a nutshell how this plan would work. Please contact me if you are interested in this project.
View 1 RepliesI'm going to do a flash banner with flash 8, action script1/2. I'm required to do a link in the flash banner. However, I'd like to know how to trigger the link in the .swf file with the given embedded code without using external html or js.<embed src="www.mydomain.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height=198 width=352></embed>
View 3 RepliesI got a Parent SWF which loads another (Child) SWF. It also has a rather large SWC in it. What I want to do is use Classes from that SWC (the one code-embedded in the Parent SWF) in the Child SWF, after it has been loaded by the Parent SWF.
I know that I can externally-link a SWC and then load it in the same ApplicationDomain. But this is not how I want to do it. I want the SWC code-embedded (statically loaded) in the big, Parent SWF and usable in the loaded Child SWF.
i am working on a flash currency converter application, for that purpose i am fetching the latest currency rates from yahoo, i am using flash cs5 and as3, i am getting the desired response from yahoo when i run the flash file from Flash cs5 (ctrl+enter) and also after publishing (F12) by opening the html file just created by flash cs5. BUT when i am moving the html and swf file over a web server (WAMP in my case), the response from yahoo is no longer working for me, i have checked it in both localhost, and on remote server. what can be the issue? it seems so strange to me..
View 10 RepliesIs there a way to execute code (like a preloader) before loading the embedded assets? I'm using the [embed] tag with CS5, and I'd like to avoid using an external preloader.
View 9 RepliesI've embedded an FLV file (created in Premiere Pro CS4) using Dreamweaver CS4 and I cannot get the actual video to show/play in any browser. If you right click where the video is located on the page, or highlight everything on the screen, you can see the defined outline of it, but nothing ever actually loads/shows. I uploaded all of the files that Dreamweaver created with its little FLV embed wizard, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm missing
View 1 RepliesI'm well aware of the Eleos/Microsoft issues that came before IE 8. However this isn't my problem. My company's website is able to display the swf file fine in FF but in IE, as soon as somebody clicks on the swf file, it does its thing without having to double-click (as in the ActiveX issue previously discussed) but also has what looks like a pink border around it. I'm testing in IE and created the Flash component in Flash CS4 using AS 3.0.Like I said before, the SWF object is activated on the first click, and doesn't have to do with the previously mentioned ActiveX control issue.
View 5 RepliesCreate new AS3 fla fileIn publish settings, click 'Generate Size report'Put some text on the stage - Classic text, static (Though it doesn't seem to matter)Make sure the font is '_sans' (There is no 'Use device fonts' option for this font choice)Publish the fileNote that _sans is now embedded in the SWF, occupying bytes in the size report. Try the same in CS3, and there is nothing embedded, as you would expect. Unfortunately I can't get my fla loaded into CS3 because CS5 will only allow me to export as CS4.
Similarly, change the font to something specific, like Verdana, and set it to use device fonts and it still embeds font data (We're talking about 3 or 4k) but doesn't list any glyphs. Occasionally though, by screwing around, it doesn't embed anything. Then nudge some text in some magical way and it's back to embedding redundant data.
I have an flv embedded onto my timeline (it's short, the only video to be played and has an animation synced up to it) but now I need to mute/unmute it. Is this even possible with the video being embedded? If so, how?

View 24 RepliesI have a static textfield using Myriad Pro bold font that, when set to STATIC TEXT works absolutely fine, in the correct font.If I set it to DYNAMIC TEXT and test the SWF, the text shows up as a system font; not Myriad ProIf I set it to EMBED CHARACTERS the text doesn't show up at all on ANY system, whether the font is installed or not.
I have tried adding the font to the Library and using that "Family" for Properties>Character in my dynamic text box, but get the same results as when I don't set that to EMBED CHARACTGERS. I've tried selecting the font for the textfield as both the standard OS Font, as well as the one with the Asterisk next to it, but get the same results both ways.The library font is set to "export for actionscript" and "on frame 1".
I don't think it's an issue with the font not being available, as I'm able to see it when setting textfield to STATIC type, and I use the font in other CS4 products (Photoshop, etc.).

I have CS3.I encode my video with the Encoder, then I import it into Flash. From there, I cannot figure out how to make the embedded flv file to loop.
View 5 RepliesYes, this is a newbie question and I'm a little surprised I can't find any mention of this anywhere. I have a flash banner that replays when my page posts back. I there a trick to this or do I have to resort to something heavy handed, like replacing the flash with the jpg on postback or writing some sort of javascript to check for postpack and setting the play attribute to false.
View 3 RepliesI have a series of dynamic text fields that do not show text when published. The fonts for these text fields are embedded and I do not get any errors on publishing.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to embedded an flv into a flash movie timeline that runs at 12fps.My source avi is 60 seconds in duration. However using cs3 video encoder with the frame rate set to 12 fps results in an flv that uses up 1440 frames of my timeline.In fact any frame rate selected always results in an flv of this frame length? Assuming that I need the flv to be 720 frames total (60 seconds * 12 frames), and not twice that duration as that would still have to be played at 24 fps. I undertand that there is a relationship to the original fps the movie was shot in (in this case 24fps) but will/does the encoder not produce an flv with the frame rate altered to match my timeline fps? or do you basically have to use a camera that shoots the original avi at 12fpsto get it to play in 12 fps timeline??
View 4 RepliesI have a flash file, which I am using as the index for my site. Into this flash file, I have an external swf that loads for an introduction. In this external swf, the as is set up so as to be a full browser, scalable slideshow. The index swf has a horizontal menu bar, from which other external swfs can be loaded. As a side note, I don't know if this is indicative of something... the preloader also does not want to work with the externally loaded swf, but will work when a dummy photo placed in the main swf file.
When I bring this into dreamweaver, the swf that was loaded into the index swf is no longer full browser, allthough it works when I preview (ctrl + enter) from within flash. It does not work from within flash when I hit f12. Yes, the html wrapper is exported at 100% width and height. All the files are in the correct place, within the same folder. Also, the preloader doesn't work but it wasn't working from within flash with an externally loaded swf. getting a full browser flash external swfs to work once the main index swf is brought over into dreamweaver?

View 3 RepliesI have a file with one main mc called "clip" that contains 9 different embedded audio tracks (all inside their own separate mc) on the first keyframe. They span the entire length of the mc - 10 frames in this case. Essentially what this does is creates a full song with 9 separate tracks that I want to mute (and unmute) when I arrive at a specific keyframe.I am using a slider (called "aSlider") on the main timeline to navigate between the keyframes.Everything starts out muted and as we progress, tracks are unmuted and the song starts to build. It is working great right now in that direction. However, if I move the slider backwards, it seems to be re-creating the audio clips so that I am overlaying more and more audio on top of each other.. which is quite the mess. Here's the AS for the slider.
aSlider.width = 324;
aSlider.move(309, 681);
addChild(aSlider);

I used the proLoader that comes in Flash5.5 to load a swf which contains a tlf text with an embedded font. The proLoader works great but it doesn't display the font instead it displays a font that looks like Helvetica. I also tried 'merged into code' in RSL settings default linkage and the swf still does not display the font I want. It works fine in Classic Text.
View 1 RepliesI have an flv video file that I've imported into Flash CS5 project as an embedded movie, because graphic and movie clip both produced still images. I want to embed the final product onto my website, and have the video autostart in the beginning, play all the way through, and then go back to frame 40 or so and loop continuosly from there. I've tried selecting the final frame and applying the instancename.gotoandplay (40); code but it isn't working. I read that this only works on keyframes, so I tried making the final frame a keyframe but because it is an flv file for some reason it isn't allowing me to do that.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to get a Flash movie I created to stop looping in my browser AFTER loading it into Dreamweaver. Here's what I've tried:
a) Place an AS3 "Stop();" at the end of the action script for the file (in Flash CS4).
b) Publish with "Loop" in HTML tab unchecked.
c) Open the tandem created .html file in my browser (Firefox)......and the movie plays then stops as hoped
d) Open Dreamweaver CS4
e) Import the swf file into a blank HTML page and Save the file.
f) Test the document in my browser. Movie plays, but the movie continues to loop.
as mentioned above, how can I stop the movie from looping after it's embedded in my web page in Dreamweaver? Is this a Dreamweaver 'problem' rather than a Flash one? The DW help file says to use Flash to control the loop....
