I need to add htaccess to my site, to stop hotlinking i.e
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.)?davewhiteart.comindex.html [NC]
RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]
This seems to work on some browsers but on others.....the flash cannot access the files/images
I am hosting a site that has some flash in it.Now a different site is linking directly to the flash, causing massive traffic for me. The problem: I do not gain any ads which would help me pay the server bills.I thought it would be OK to redirect the direct link to the flash to the site containing it.
Flash: www.example.com/flash/1.swf
Page: www.example.com/1 (<-- redirect here!)
It probably should work with .htacess
I am loading an flv file from an s3 location. I want to prevent its hotlinking.
crossdomain.xml does not seem to work for flvs Anybody has nay idea, why crossdmain does not work? and what are the ways we can prevent other flash containers to extract the content from our location?
I'm publishing a webcomic in Flash.swf format and I'd like to make it as easy as possible for people to grab my comic and put it on their website. How can I set up one-button hot-linking that will automagically provide the code so that they can easily drop it into their website, similar to the way YouTube does with video?
View 8 RepliesI have a site that has the main path under password protection. I also have a subfolder that have a separate (htaccess/htpasswd) password protection. For some reason, when I access the subfolder, I'm asked to put in my id/password twice. All of the files that are referenced are under the subfolder.
What should I be doing to troubleshoot this? I've tried this on different browsers and it's the same behavior. There is one main html page with a .swf (the only thing on the page)...it loads other assets but they are within the same subfolder.
Client has a flash navigation menu on his website. When the site is accessed via [URL] the hardcoded links in the flash nav load pages properly. When accessing the website via the [url] the site navigation links can not load the proper pages and instead just redirect the user to the root domain.
I assume this can be fixed with a change to the .htaccess but I do not know how flash handles these links.
.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

I can't get a RewriteRule to work. I have a PHP page with a flash object embedded in it. What I would like to is to write a rule in order to achieve this:URL...and all the parameters to the flash object (in the query string, if available) should also be "copied" by the RewriteRule:[code]

I've made a game in flash that I want to upload onto my site but I don't want it to be able to get hotlinked to or hosted from/on another site.
What would be a good way to prevent this?
I first thought of getting a varible from a text file and using an IF function on load to check if that var was loaded but that would only prevent Hosting.
I then tried putting the var in the html code for the swf but that don't seem to work so well, when I refresh the page the movie randomly seems to play normally or goto my "this is stolen" screen.
I'm attempting to load an external SWF that's hosted on a site into a local SWF file. The external SWF is in a password-protected directory using htaccess.

Flash 8, Actionscript 2.0 I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but I figured here would be alright. I've got this image slideshow/scroller here, that grabs its data from a xml file on the server. nothing new, but the problem is that when i enable hotlinking protection with bluehost, firefox is unable to deal with the file. safari, opera, handle it fine. when hotlinking protection is disabled, firefox handles it fine.

View 1 RepliesI'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial. Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement. The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.
I have created drawings in Adobe Flash and saved them as .fla files. However, when I try to save the files as JPEGs beyond a certain resolution (such as 4000x4000 pixels), the image gets altered. Essentially, it get's cropped, but some background is left in the remaining pixels.

I'm a bit confused with the purpose of these programs. For example if I want to create a game or utility app that runs on air. Can I design it in Flash Professional and later open in Builder for more heavy coding? Or is Catalyst supposed to be used as the design program?
I used to think that you design stuff in Flash Professional and then open the project up in Builder to do more deep coding.
i am trying to install a copy of Flash macromeadia 2004 mx profesional. the software installs fine when i go to open it it apears in the dock and nothing happens. right clicking on the icon in the dock the program says it's not reasponding.
on the box on my flash it syas made for mac osx 10.2.6 and my mac is running mac osx 10.6.7
I downloaded the trial version so I could work on the final project for class but for some reason when I tried to save it my computer froze up. Is this because the save feature is turned off for the trial version or was it just my computer? If I can't save using the trial version than I wasted memory on my computer and a lot of my time downloading the trial version that isn't going to be very useful to me.
View 2 RepliesI recently purchased and installed Flash CS4 Professional on my home computer (HP Windows XP Media Center Edition). AS2 works as a Publish Setting, but AS3 does not function in any way.After my initial installation, I ran a CS4 update of all programs, including updating Flash CS4 to 10.0.2.I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it in the "simplified" mode. Updated to v10.0.2; no change in AS3 failure. I have run the Adobe Support Analyzer, and an error has been found in the installation log file (for both the initial installation and the re-installation). But use of the Package for Support button (repeatedly, over 4 days) fails to upload and fails to produce a "key", yielding this message: "The storage server is unavailable! Please try again later."Here is what I mean by ActionScript 3 failure:With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Check Syntax produces this message: "This script contains errors. The errors encountered are listed in the Compiler Errors Panel." The Compiler Errors Panel is always blank. When I am working in AS2, an intentional script error immediately is identified correctly in the Compiler Errors Panel.With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Auto Format produces this message: "This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted. Fix the errors and try again."Any .swf produced with CTRL+Enter sits in its initial state and does not run or otherwise have interactivity..
fla files I have found the failure with include: AS3 examples from the Adobe Flash website; AS3 files I produced with Flash CS3 Professional on a previous employer's computer; a simple "stop();" in the Actions-Frame panel for the first frame of a movie clip.I have also made sure that my computer has updated versions of the Flash 10, 9, and 8 players. A .swf file (AS3, Player 9) I made with my employer's Flash CS3 software runs fine on my computer. But producing a new .swf from the same .fla file on my home computer with CS4 yields an inactive file.Adobe technical support is unable to deal with ActionScript problems and referred me to the community of Adobe expert users.
i am new with adobe flash and i have made 2 swf files that need to link to one main one, i am not sure what the actions should say. so far my programming for my main swf where i want all the other swfs to open from are:

I'm running Flash Professional CS5 on Windows XP OS. When using Flash the program is freezing on me. So far this has happened when importing images to the stage, publishing the file and testing the movie. My only option is to force Flash to close. Sometimes, this freezing is accompanied by the standard "Adobe Flash has encountered an error and needs to close" message, but this is not always the case. This is my first time using Flash, and I'm creating a video using ~400 BMP's so the .fla file is quite large (12MB).
View 6 RepliesI was going to download the trial version of Flash Professional CS5.5 but when I got to the download page it wasn't downloading. The "Download now" button was there, but it was unclickable, when I clicked on it it didn't work, plus it was a little dimmer than I remember it was when I downloaded another trial. I'm also using the latest version of Google Chrome and I tried downloading it on IE and Firefox.So, is there any solution to this?

View 3 RepliesI am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website.When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the link!I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it still does not work!I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows.HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page.
View 3 Repliesi have found that:
1. There has a subtle difference between a static text field in flash authoring tool which has been set to use the device font when it's got focus(state that user can type character in) and lose focus;
2. There also has a subtle difference between when it is being rendered in flash player and in flash authoring tool.(Note that the key factor here is setting the text field to use device font.)
I am new to flash and trying to make a simple flash website video intro in Flash CS5 Pro.I have a flv viedo on the stage, under an image with a trasnparent center.I have the video on the bottom layer, the overlay image on the middle layer, and the top layer is my AS layer (AS3).
The video is currently autoplaying when i export.All i want is for it to open my website in the same window as the intro played when the video ends.I dont need a "skip intro button" or anything.I just want it to play the intro when you go to my site, and then bring up the index page of my site after it plays.
My problem is that the client I am making a homepage for wants the site to be done in Flash, but also wants to have the ability to make changes to the website on his own. Creating the website in Flash is not the problem rather what other program or method can I use, which is easy enough for someone who is not knowledgable in Flash or any other web design program, so that this client can make random changes to the menus and photos on this website?
