Professional :: Swf Embedded In Html Only Loads Images / If Complete 'www' Address Is Used
Feb 18, 2010
I made a .swf that loads a .xml file from a directory called "xml".That file lists the images that are to be loaded into the .swf.The .swf is embedded into an html file.The issue we are seeing is that if you don't include "www" in the url, the images don't get loaded (??!).But the .swf is running, and all the html and css works.If you use "www" in the url, everything works perfectly.[code]
I can view it in my browser by going directly to the file however when it is embedded the photos will not load. The images it loads has to be in the same directory as the .swf file and as i stated it clearly works when going directly to the file but not once it has been embedded.
Why does test movie open a new window in the IDE instead of compiling? And when I try Publish Settings I get 'No Valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation'.
Everything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) { loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0); }
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.
I made a 'movie' in Premiere and exported as FLV., Its suppose to be a banner on the top of a web page. The site was made with Dreamweaver. When played locally, the banner does great. When I put it on the server, thats a different story. I can tell thats something is there because it loads the background color of the flash file but it doesn't play the FLV.
Yes, 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.
I'm just wondering why my swf files won't play when I upload them along with my HTML file to the server.
The problem can be seen at the following [url]... Can't get my embedded swf files to play in HTML file
I inserted the swf in 'insert media' - 'shockwave' and the thing works when I press play to view it within dreamweaver. However, when I try to view it on a browser, either locally or remotely, it doesn't work.
I took a .flv and placed it in a .swf in Flash Professional CS5 (for smoother playback on my website), and I used Dreamweaver to embed the .swf on one of my webpages. The video plays back fine, but there are no playback controls. In Dreamweaver, I set "PLAY" and "LOOP" to false, so in order to play my video, I have to right-click it and press "Play." That seems odd and possibly confusing/inconvenient for anyone viewing my website (particular potential employers, because this is my online portfolio). how to add playback controls? I don't want to use any external players (like Flowplayer), as I am trying hard to avoid watermarks and having to pay for anything extra.
Interesting note: when I used Dreamweaver to insert the .flv, I had the option to select from a list of playback controls. However, the .flv did not play smoothly on my website, and I found the solution to place the .flv in an .swf for nicer playback.
I am loading multiple image files, but they all finish loading at different times and pop up on the screen at random. if theres a way to make an event COMPLETE for multiple files that would wait for all to load before triggering a function?
did anyone come across this before? is there another way to make an image clickable inside a dynamically loaded xml text?Alternatively can anyone suggest a method to style dynamic textfields instead of using html?I've tried with many different fonts, and many different stylesheets, its still the same.
im loading multiple images but how do I make sure the program will start once all images have dispatched a complete event. like make a universal loader for all the other "small loaders" if you understand.
I made a flash mp3 player and it works fine in any other test pages. but when i embed it onto my site it just shows blank. what do i do? my site is [URL] and the flash player i tested here [URL] and it plays. What im i doing wrong? i tryed everything. right now i just got it in a iframe but i dont want that iframe.
I have a combo box that has an array of fonts loaded into them, not here is my problem. For some reason, when i select the fonts in the array, some of them change and some of them dont. I have created font symbols like instructed in the live docs, but i dont get why they arent showing up.i.e. I have 7 fonts loaded into this combo box and i can select Arial Bold and my text field will show the text in arial bold, but when i select hobo, i get some substitute!here's my code, maybe you guys will see something i haven't.
It's what this image describes:For some reason, I cannot use bold tags to set the TLF text to bold, even though both the regular and bold fonts are embedded.so that the webpage that embeds this movie can call its function (otherwise the movie itself will be wrapped by TLF).his is not exactly a question since there is an obvious solution to this. Just set the htmlText as something like "<font face='Myriad Web Pro'><b>BOLD</b></font>" and you're done.hs issue is, why does it not render the bold text without the font tag in the first place, if I have already set the font of the TLF text in the PI?
Is there any workaround to load in complete html pages with LoadVars ? I have this client that wants to update some pages (just adding and removing text and pictures), but I would love to do it in action scripting and have him update an external file. Now I could tell him to remove the tags from <html> to <body> and from </body> to </html>, save it as text file and add a variable (like myText at the top of his file, but that wouldn't make things much easier for him.probably start to complain that it would have been easier if I'd made it in html instead of flash Does anyone have any other ideas on how to display an html page inside of flash ? (except for opening browser windows and loading the page in that window ofcourse - that isn't good enough)
I am trying to select and highlight a specific row on the datagrid in an embedded swf everytime the movie loads. I am using flash cs3 and actionscript 3 , published on flash player 9. anyone done anything similar? Did quite a bit of searching none of the methods actuall seemed to work.
Is it neccesary to know HTML todesign complete flash based websites ?Ofcourse i know simple things like the index.html and adjusting borders etc within the html code. But i dont know exclusively how to make HTML standalone pages. Im basically a video edit guy and dont have much time to spend on learning HTML webdesigning.I propose to further study and polish my skills only in flash and stick to that area of specialization, ie.designing websites purely based on Flash. Is this OK. Are there designers like this who only specialize in flash websites without venturing into HTML ?

I'm not sure what's going on...basically, I have a flash file that loads images from a xml file and this works fine without any problems. But when I try to load the swf file into html, the images only load if the html file is in the same folder as the swf.I'm not sure if this is related to a problem with the xml link in the swf file or something else... this is how the xml is being called from the swf:
Code: xmlData = new XML(); xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
I installed Slideshow pro, with swfobject here: [URL] The flash loads but the images do not. I have double checked the image paths to death and they appear to be correct. Here is the html:
how to load images from an xml file into my flash file. I want to make something very similar to: [URL] So that it has a next and previous option. All my images will be exactly 128x128 pixels (png files), but there could be any number of them.
So if I have a movie clip button, when that button is released I want it to load a html file into a MovieClip container, that container is named TutorialContainer...I also want the html to conform to the containers size and position.
I have a flash file which loads an XML file containing links to my photos.var listLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("filelist.xml") );When I test out the Flash movie through Flash, there are no problems.When I place it in my index file, the XML file no longer loads. (just the swf)When I place the XML file in the same directory and the XML and swf files, it loads the images.[code]I've also changed the url in actionscript to:var listLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("mediaflashfilelist.xml") );
I have this problem with some stock code I've modified. Everything was working great until I tested it online, and found it was slow as all heck. It turns out that instead of loading and adding all the images one at a time, it loads all the files from the XML, and then adds them all to children, which in my case is 45 large images/swfs. would very much prefer to use this code over starting with a new XML Slideshow, as I've customized this one with tweener and a button which loads another version of the current image when hovered over (this is working fine at the moment as wellI am only going to post the code that is necessary otherwise this page will be huge.
