View 4 RepliesThe entire banner needs to be a clickable link for the duration of the animation. So anyone can click on the banner at any point during the animation, and be brought to my site. I tried putting a frame at the end with getURL[URL] but that doesnt work. When I do that, the banner is not a clickable link, but the site opens automatically after the animation has played. Cant have that. So after doing some research, the apparent correct way to do this is by making a button, but I do that and the button obsures everything else.

I have 1 swf file which generated through 3rd party tool.Now I want to embed this file into empty flash file and want to save as new, I tried with following options,
1) import option ( File > Import ) but it is importing only Images and symbols. I want my original file as it in new file.
2) loader.load(), but this will load my external file at runtime only and to work smoothly it require both the files.
I want same but in design time, so I can add some extra functionality to it.Is it possible to embed external swf file as it is in new flash file in CS4?
How to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website [URL] under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them.
View 3 Repliesiv been working on embeding an zip file into an swf file. So far it works perfectly the way i want it and runs in the folder it was built in using flashdevelop. However when i place the swf anywhere but in the bin folder i get the sandbox error below :
[Code]...
"If running in the Flash Player browser plugin, FZip requires ZIPs to be patched (Adler32 checksums need to be added). This is not required if FZip runs in the Adobe AIR runtime or if files contained in the ZIP are not compressed." Im not sure if this is what is causing the error, or whether its a problem in my embed code, or something else. I saved the same project as an projector exe file and it worked as expect but not as an swf file outside of the bin folder.
I have built a few flash sites before and am trying to make one that is slightly more complicated and allows for dynamic, database stored images and text. I have built a dynamic gallery based on an XML feed in AS2 which works fine. I am trying to embed it into another FLA file that contains the remainder of the site (the gallery will be one page of the main site). I have tried a ridiculous number of different methods but just cannot get it to work. The gallery is built in AS2, so I am using an AS2 FLA file for the main template it is to be embedded in. The simplest method i have tried that i think should work is to create a new AS2 fla file, edit the actions on my actions layer to be: Empty.loadMovie("My Gallery.swf");
I have then created a new layer for the content and added a MovieClip to the top left of it, named Empty. I have set the instance name of this movie clip to be Empty. From what I have understood from my reading this is the simplest way to display the external file but for some reason it just will not work. It seems to see My Gallery.swf as when i delete it from the local directory i get an 'Error opening URL 'file:///D|/Websites/My Gallery.swf'' message. This message does not appear when this file exists locally, however it just opens a blank screen with nothing within it. I have been reading numerous tutorials and posts and i'm pretty sure i'm being thick, but for some reason i can't seem to get it to work!
my fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
What I did so far that did not work:
Made fonts static with animation
made fonts dynamic with animation
I'm trying to embed a .swf file within another .fla project using the the loadmovie command. Here's my code as it stands. This is sitting on a button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(291);
loadMovieNum("New Visualr.swf", 20);
}
When I test the project I can see that something has been loaded in but it doesnt play properly, it just kind of flashes. I have tried publishing the same video under different names but have the same problem every time? I uploaded the .swf I am trying to embed?
Is there any way to embed a java applet in a swf file? Looking online I could only find info about older versions of Flash, and wasn't sure if support had been added
View 1 RepliesI have a project that requires embedding an XML file into the parent SWF AS3 code. this project relies on someone else's SWF that I do not have access to and it makes use of commands separated by &. When I load this SWF into a loader and pass the XML data to it from an external file, the & symbols are preserved and all is well. When I embed the XML data within the AS3 and point the loader to that XML data, all of the & get converted to & during parse at runtime or compile. How do I disable this? Is that possible to do?
I need to keep this format when the XML data is passed to the SWF in the loader:
<Child attribute="Command&Command&Command&Command"/>
Can any body check this code.

I'm all very new to Flash! I'm a Designer. I recently out sourced a flash project and now my client needs it updating. My project consists of a music mixing desk. You press a button and video pops up. The buttons are in the stage. When pressed, this triggers a movie clip which loads a FLV player. SIMPLE! ([URL] - to see the site in action!) I have a simple flash gallery [URL]. I have put the SWF, image folder and XML in the root. I have tried embedding the SWF gallery into my Flash Project by importing it into the library and dragging it to where video content usually lives (FLV player). It doesn't work. I've tried other techniques (loadMovie etc). But I'm a bit fuzzy on these methods.
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to embed my .swf file with swfobject, and pass the parent html code to the flash file as a string. Here is the javascript code:
Code:
// FLASH EMBED
// Page Title
var parent1 = document.getElementById('pageTitle');
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.parentXML = parent1.toString();
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("flash/pageTitle.swf", "pageTitle", "510", "150", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
Everything works fine until I use the toString() function in the flashvars line, which breaks the code and causes the .swf file to fail loading.
i'm seriously going crazy with my flash file.i built an xml news ticker in as3 that works perfectly, but if i try to launch from html file, it doesn't work properly.
View 0 RepliesI've tried importing a SWF file into a new fla file but when I test it the embeded swf doesn't do anything. I can't click and drag any of the things that I could if I ran the SWF file on its own.
The embeded file uses some php. is this factor? Is there something I need to doin order to make it run? right now its just a graphic.
I found this code for embedding fonts 100% with code - bypassing the CS4 library, but I'm not understanding how I call it.If, for example, I put it in an external as file called globals, do I call the function lie this: globals.Test()?It's the "extends MovieClip" part that's confusing me.[code]
View 1 RepliesHow can i embed images and videos in swf through actionscript in flash? I am reading an xml through actionscript (3.0) and loading the content But is it possible to embed them and when a compile it , i get swf with content embedded in it (this possibly eliminates the need of giving the content separately with swf )?
View 2 RepliesSo I've got a video that is presently working on a page. The SWF is set to call another SWF as well as an FLV video based on a timer. I would like this video to play in a lightbox. I pulled the code to setup a lightbox from here: [URL] I dumped in the code as I saw fit, either it is incorrect, or the lightbox script is unable to handle what I need. I'm thinking a bit of extra Javascript might take care of it? I was also thinking some code in the flash "button" may be able to be created to act as a timer.
The problem I am having is setting up the timer, presently the first video pulls up (rmk_player.swf), but is not calling upon the others. The video should pull up the rmk_player.swf, then the intro.swf, followed by the rmk_590.flv. This all works on the non-lightbox version.

There is a new way to embed fonts in CS5. So I've embeded a font in a CS5 flash file's library and gave it a linkage ID. I'd like to embed this font in an ActionScript project using the "[EMBED]" tag. I've tried the following code to embed the "Helvetica LT" font, but the textfield seemed to be unaffected.

private var _cHelvetica:Class;

I am trying to embed an f4v file into Flash CS5, however the program won't accept the file I've tried renaming the extension and removing the audio stream. The only thing that seems to work is if its a TRUE flv file using VP6 and with a .flv extension.The documentation here regarding embedding flv/f4v mentions the ability to embed either file formats:I have found no positive results on google and there doesn't seem to be a Flash Jira for bug tracking.
View 2 RepliesI use this method to place a SWF in Powerpoint 2007. How do I make the path relative and not absolute? So whatever path/destination I put in the "Movie" property is absolute and if and when I sent this PPTX file to someone (like in a folder) the SWF no longer plays. I wanted to make a path that is relative... so instead of putting "C:UseProfileDesktopFlash.swf" I wanted to know if I could do something like "Flash.swf" and then it'll play the SWF since it'd be in the root (or maybe a subfolder).
Place SWF in Powerpoint 2007:
1. Click Office Button.
2. Click "Powerpoint Options"
3. Under the "Popular" tab check "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon". Click OK
4. Click the "Developer" tab.
5. Click the "More Controls" button (wrench/hammer icon)
6. Choose "Shockwave Flash Object". Click OK.
7. Cursor turns to crosshairs. Drag box to house the object.
8. In the "Properties" pop-up, find "Movie".
9. Under "Movie". Paste in the path of the file. (i.e. C:UsersProfileDesktopflashAnimation.swf a. Try to put the SWF in the same root location as the PPTX.
I have a client that I created FLV files for. how to create SWF files so he can embed them onto his web pages. I explained that Premiere only creates FLV and F4V files. My understanding is that he needs Flash Pro CS5 to create the SWF files. Is this correct? I have been all over the web looking for the workflow for embedding video files like they do on you tube. I'm a videographer dammit, not a web designer!

View 2 RepliesI have a very large text file (it's a 270,000 word list with one word per line) which I need to bring into my AS3 code. Importing it via url works just fine - loading it in as a string then converting to an array - no problems.
However, I need to embed it into my code somehow so that there are no external files (for easy distribution). Using a search and replace tool, I've tried several things, none of which have worked including:
Converting to a single space delimited string:
Code:
var wordList:String = "word1 word2 word3 ...";
Result: crashes compiler.
Code:
Converting to an array: var wordList:Array = ["word1","word2","word3", ...];
Result: crashes compiler too.
The same tests work fine with much smaller sized word lists, but apparently the size of my word list is too large to work. I know flash can handle strings and arrays of this size, because as I said, it works fine when importing the text file via url. I just can't seem to get it to compile it when I embed it into code.
I would like to be able to add the code below into an FLA File. Is this possible. If so, how? (in this case it's an applet provided by twitter)

My friend is making a new signature for use on her forum and she wanted to embed an animated .gif file into her signature. She has no idea how to do this but it sounded to me like something that could be done fairly easily with flash and Actionscript. Personally, I have not used Actionscript in any of my projects since I bought CS3. Mostly I've just been too lazy to learn the differences between Actionscript 2.0 and 3.0, I know it uses a bit different of a syntax.
