How 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 RepliesI am using flash for developing a project(flash cs4 professional) with actionscript 3.0. I am reading an xml file from which i am getting the path of the videos and images to be loaded.When delivering the swf file, i also need to give the images and videos along with swf file.Is there any way through which i can embed the images and videos in compiled swf file and hence preventing the content to be given with swf file?

View 2 RepliesI have my shiny new FMS 3.5 server. There is the multi-rate example which provides a "Cut and Paste" object tag to embed the video.... e.g.
<object width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' name='videoPlayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' ><param name='movie' value='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' /> <param name='quality' value='high' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /> <param name='flashvars' value= '&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serve rURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&v
[code]....
I paste this into a web page hosted on another ( ordinary, nonFMS ) server, I see the player show up, but after 5 seconds I get message that the player cannot connect, please click Play to try again. Of course same work fine if the page is hosted out of webroot on the FMS server. So I assume the "example" does not include absolute URL's so I tried hacking in full URL's for the swfs/videoPlayer.swf and the rtmp:/ URLs to no avail. Which makes it a pretty poor "example" IMO. I also noticed that the .smil file itself also includes a relative URL to the vod app, I modified that as well - the object tags still works only when hosted from the /webroot folder.
So what should this "example" really look like with absolute URL's to use in a real way? Also is there some content protection mechanism which is preventing this from being embedded in other pages not hosted locally?

[URL] so I can load an external text file into a text box in flash. All that works fine but I'm having problems trying to embed a jpg into it. I have been searching the web and all I've found is that you use the "<img src>" method as you would with any html document. From what I have read, you place that code into the .txt file like I have done:

I have been watching too many peoples asking about various aspect levels for images and videos. Here is a simple demo to show your image/video with different aspect ratio levels. I hope the aspect ratio list is very tiny like, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 1.85:1, 2.39:1. Here is sample code:

I use the images in the tooltips. Images are on the server. I'm using the code:
var tip1:String;
tip1 = "<img src='assets/images/yes.jpg' align='center' width='150' height='150' hspace='3' vspace='3'/>";
tip1 += 'some text';
yes.toolTip = tip1;
But many of images are more than 100 kb, then the image in the tooltip appear with some delay. Is it possible to embed all the pictures during loading swf, to appear at once with the text when the mouse over?
Would embedding images in mobile Air applications speed up the process of drawing the UI that uses images? How does one properly embed the images?
View 1 RepliesI'm having some trouble with loading images for my tiles in a small game I'm making. It's isometric and tile based. I have two questions: I have a class called MapTile which is for each tile in the map. Each tile is made up of 1-9 blocks stacked on top of each other (like Final Fantasy Tactics). For example, let's say there are 4 different kinds of blocks: grass, dirt, stone, and water and they all have different images. I was considering embedding only the images needed (so if a tile is just grass on dirt then it would only embed the dirt and grass images). Will this actually make the game faster and smaller or is it worthless? If it's worthless then just ignore my next question.I'm trying to embed my images dynamically as stated above. So I have an array called loadedTiles that contains the class names of the tiles that have been loaded so that I don't embed the same thing twice. And I try something like this for embedding new images:
Code:
var sourceT:String = "../../../lib/tiles/" + tilesList[data[i]]["image"];
var nameT:String = "block" + tilesList[data[i]]["id"];
[Embed(source = this[sourceT])] var this[nameT]:Class;

I've built a flash site in which i want to resize a movie to the stage. I do it by keeping the proportion, thus i only resize the width and then i resize the height acordingly to the new width but keeping the proportion. The problem is that my film still looks "pixeled". I found a website on which the stage resizes dinamically with the movie and the background images without either of them losing quality. Till now i knew that resizing images or videos in flash at authoring or runtime produces pixeled results.
This is the website: [URL:]. Can someone tell me how do they do it without losing quality? just make the browser windowed and resize the margins to see the effect.

View 9 Replieswatch this Flash file I've created that includes a video.
[URL]
When importing the .flv file of the video into the Flash project, I chose the imbedding method. I realize this increases the size of the overall .swf file when doing so. On the first watch (before the file is cached) it tends to pause while loading and/or jumps. I've tried other methods (like choosing the file has already been deployed to a web server, and play methods such as progressive download from a web server, stream from a Flash video streaming service, and stream from a Flash communication server). When choosing those other methods, the video loads nicely but the audio sounds a bit more distorted while playing. So, at present, I'm using the embed video in SWF and play in timeline option. Does anyone have any other suggestions to improve the video buffer speed, performance and the overall loading and quality of the Flash file? I'm still using Flash Professional 8.

I'm going to have a motion graphics piece where a vid will play for a short time, filling the screen, then shrink to a small square thats in a grid of 6-9 small squares. Once it shrinks down, it stops at its current frame. So there will be 6-9 small squares of the last frame of 6-9 videos. Can this be accomplished in flash? These are not interactive videos; they will automatically play when the first appear

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.

View 1 RepliesI am having trouble exporting Quicktime videos from Flash CS4. Previously, in Flash CS3, I got the following dialogue box: Flash CS3 export box Notice the fact that I can change the export resolution in this box. I set the resolution to what I want, and then click the quicktime settings box to change the movie's imensions to what I want. The resolution settings in this picture determine what dimensions the flash movie is rendered at, not the final quicktime movie. Now, take a look at my new dialogue box:
Flash CS4 export dialogue options Notice that I can't change the resolution settings here. If I go into the quicktime settings and export out a movie at a higher resolution, it first renders the flash file at the ative resolution in the picture and then upsizes it to the quicktime resolution, resulting in a very low-quality, blurry movie.
I have just very recently downloaded a trail version of Adobe Flash CS5 onto my laptop. The version of windows is Windows XP, and the program itself is running as well as it should.
I went to youtube to see if there were any video tutorials that could help me get started with the program. Unfortunately, right before a video will play, the browser will say there was an error, and close, and then re-try to open the page.
This problem has never happned before I installed Flash, so I can only assume it had something to do with it. Everything else on my system is running smoothly, I even checked every file and processor twice for any signs of adware that I may have picked up accidently.
Why can't I watch youtube videos on my laptop? It's brand new. I can go to the website and the video loads just fine. It starts to play but then shortly after it quits. The monitor flickers and then goes black. I don't think it's the Adobe Flash player.
