I have created a swf player using the flvplayback component to display flv files. The document in flash is 275 pixels wide by 130px pixels long. I also have my video component (flyPlayBack) set at 275px by 100px to display the playback controls. My flash code is my simple like the following
import fl.video.*;
var myflashvars:Object = new Object();

I have a project which has 2 html, 2 swf and 2 fla files. I have a default form and I would like to call another form or screen form a button click.
Does each screen or scene have to have it's own html page. Or can you call up the scene change through flash code?
Currently I am using
btntest.onRelease = function () {getURL("http://www.website.com" , "_parent" );}
How do you make fonts in Flash .FLA files so they do not don't disappear when copied from one computer to another?
View 4 RepliesAre there any software that will convert Word documents or pdf into swf files that ca be displayed inside of a Flash movie. Currently, I am using FlashPaper but the software is not supported anymore by Adobe. I am creating eLearning courses and having a pdf open inside of a course without opening multiple makes for a better learning experience.
View 1 RepliesMy problem: I have an FLV video that I need to add hardcoded subtitles to. I know that it's possible to add subs via XML but this is no good, I need them to be part of the video file itself. I tried (stupidly it seems) to use flash to load in the FLV to the timeline & add subtitles to another layer - but exporting issues & time-synching problems scuppered such an approach. So I need some proper video editing software. I have Adobe Premier v2 but it doesn't seem to support FLV input/output natively..
1) Convert FLV to AVI
2) import AVI to video editing software
3) Add subtitles
4) Export AVI file
5) Convert back to FLV
Ive created a ticker script that loads info from an xml file - the problem is now the client cant get this working on their server due to cross-domain issues and has asked that I make it work without xml.
Is there a simple way to embed this info into my swf without loading it so that i sont have to change my script too much?[code]...
how can I unite 15 swf files which placed in one folder to a one swf file? i tried all kindes of merging softwares like "Join (Merge, Combine) Multiple SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and tried to convert swf to flv (cause i found other merging software for flv files) but again.I have CS5 so if i'll have to open Flash for this i will, though i'm trying to avoid that and even then i'm gonna need full instructions.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to display an HTML formated file in text area component using Action 3.0. The following script does not generates compiler errors, each function seems to be executed yet the file is not displayed. When trying the same code with myCV.txt and myCV_TA.text = (loader1.data) the text file is displayed OK. Flash MX and actionscript 2.0 had handled that differently but with success?

var loader1:URLLoader =new URLLoader();loader1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,displayText);
textload("myCV.html");//---------------------
function textload(file:String){ loader1.load(new URLRequest(file));trace("in textload");}
function displayText(e:Event){ myCV_TA.htmlText = (loader1.data);trace("in displaytext");}

I'm trying to pull in dynamic text from a txt file and display in a web page. The text works great when I view the .swf, but when I place the .swf in a web page the text no longer appears.

I have Flash CS5 at work, and CS3 at home. I am creating a FLA file at home that I'd like to append to an existing file at work. I'm guessing that I'll just need to import all of the symbols from the CS3 file into the CS5 file and then copy and paste the frames - or is there a better way to do it? What I'd really like to do is to somehow convert the CS3 file into a movie clip symbol that I could just run in the CS5 file. Is this possible?

View 2 RepliesI am using a trial version of CS5, and I'm wondering if this is the cause of my issue, but wouldn't think so.I am trying to display a video in a basic HTML file created in Dreamweaver.I am using flash to generate the .swf file to be embedded.I used the media encoder to convert the video file I have from .avi to .f4v.This all seems to work just fine and when I test the html file locally it works.The issue I have is when I load the files on a web server for further testing, it plays the video, but there are no controls visible on the page for the video.As stated above, they display correctly when I run this locally.I have also loaded the skin.swl file on the server in the same location as I have it locally.I have tried everything I can think of to try and can not get the controls to display while deployed on my web server.

I am new flash developer, and inherited a project which has 4 fla project files. When it runs inside a browser, it appears "window" which occupies whole browser. This project is write in Flash CS3. I have few questions:
1). When loading main swf file, 3 other swf files are also loaded. These swf files are communicating with each other through message. When debug the mail swf with CS3, I can set breakpoint and the program can stop only at limited AS files. My questions is how to debug other AS files in other swf file?
2) I used CS5. It seems that I can stop at more AS files, which does not belong to main swf file. Why?
My questions is should I use CS5, which might makes debugging easier? Is it right direction to go to debug multiple swf? (For CS5, I need to fix some code in order to make the program fully working as CS3)
3) What's best tool to use for such project since CS3 is very old. Should I use Flash builder, Flex. Amethyst?
I just recently purchased this template: [URL] and I'm having difficulty with the scrolling text areas. The finished .swf file has different scroll areas for each of the pages, just like the online preview, but when I go into flash to try and edit them, I can only find the "Little About Us" scrollarea from the "About" page. There is a layer in the flash file called "page," the content of which changes on mouseclick, but that same "Little About Us" scrollarea stays constant in that layer, only moving location. I can't even find any of the other scrollareas in the Library. New to Flash, as I said, but even so this seems odd to me (aside from the fact that I need to edit those text areas).

View 2 RepliesI've perfected my collision detection by setting a square in the middle of the stage and circling around it, trying to penetrate its foresty interior until I could no more. [image below]
Obviously, I want more than one block to create my levels, but making one huge level in the same layer under the name "floor" (the name I gave the movie clip) will stop my player from moving because the boundries of the object "floor" surround my entire player, immobilizing it.

I am working on my first AS3 project, working on an upload routine for images. Simply, I upload an image and place it on the stage. Piece of cake. Now, what I can't figure out, is how to apply a filter to it. For some reason, I have a big ol brain fart about accessing my clip. I've positioned a clip on the timeline and can apply my filter to it, so it is definitely a reference issue.

[URL]..the animated glowing effect on the buttons. One, I can't get any mouse events to respond in the skin. I can't seem to find others with this problem. In the below code, startAnimation is never getting called when a mouse over occurs, but the event is apparently getting registered. To test this code, simply add skinClass="ButtonSkin" to a button declaration in your main application, the code below being the ButtonSkin.mxml file.
[Code]...
EDIT I found out why mouse events weren't firing. The button apparently has mouseChildren false by default, which specifically prevents events from firing lower than itself. Using parent.mouseChildren = true; in the constructor fixes this issue. On to the next part of the question: continuous animation.
