SWF Embedded In HTML - All Invisible TextFields Displayed
Nov 11, 2010
I have a SWF file and I am trying to embed it into an HTML. I used the following code:
<object width="704" height="440">
<param name="movie" value="[URL]"></param>
<embed src="[URL]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="false" width="704" height="440">
</embed></object>
If you go to [URL, you can see the problem. The button is blinking and all invisible text field are displayed. However, if I open the swf file directly, there is no problem.

I have inherited a huge application (several thousand lines of code spanning roughly 40 files) to which I must add some functionalities. Now I haven't even started on modifying the code yet because of a problem when loading the Flash file. The Flash files represent a whole website "creator" or "manager" depending on how you see it. It allows end-users to add buttons, images, text fields, etc. inside which other buttons/images/texts can be added. Basically, it's some kind of WYSIWYG editor. I did not create this but I agreed to work on it for some time if I can get it working.
There is a main file, aptly named index.swf, which loads other files (the website file, or the text editor file, etc.) according to what the user is trying to do. If a user is simply viewing the website, then it displays the website. If a user is modifying the website (after authentication), it displays the website AND a management interface, which allows the user to add, modify or remove controls on the site.My problem is that all TextFields display their content (the text) properly when the website is displayed but they display nothing when the management interface is displayed. In other words, a user viewing the website will see all texts in it; a user modifying it will not.
The way this works is that the main SWF (index.swf) creates an empty movieclip for the website and loads the website (another SWF) inside it. Then it creates other movie clips and loads other SWFs inside them for the management interface.The TextFields inside the website SWF contain the appropriate text and have an appropriate font set up (I am able to display it using Alert.show) but their textHeight and textWidth properties are 0, which to me is not normal.

I have researched the infamous 'Flash hogging keyboard focus' issue, but I believe our issue may involve a workaround that someone else has already come across. I've tried the various solutions I've found on stackoverflow and other sites, which I summarize below.We have a web app, and a particular interface loads several divs that we are using as "tabs". When a user clicks one of the tabs, we hide the current div and un-hide the new one. Our main tab (which is loaded when the page loads) embeds a document from Scribd, which is loaded as a Flash movie. When a user clicks on the Flash movie, they scroll with the mouse/keyboard like normal, and when they click outside of the document control returns as expected.When they navigate to another tab and then return to the original tab and click on the embedded Flash to navigate within it, the embedded Flash steals control of the mouse scroll and won't let it go. The user can click in this document and scroll with the arrow keys and then click out of the document and scroll the parent window with the arrow keys, but mouse scrolling is still bound to the embedded Flash movie. The only remedy is a hard page refresh.[code]This doesn't work -- I can confirm that the element is removed from the DOM, but when it is returned to the DOM it hogs mouse scrolling when clicked just like before.I also tried a similar solution, but instead of removing the element I called [code]

I have this very very large project I've been working on. I've just realized the font I've been using isn't standard on PCs. So now I have to embed the font for all the text fields in the whole project (they all use the same font), most of which are dynamic. I've added the font to the library, but I don't want to go through the hassle of telling every text area to embed that font due to the vast number of text areas and the project's complexity. Is there an easier method of setting all of the text in the movie to use the embedded font, or am I just going to have to bite the bullet? Can I use CSS to do it, or something easier?

I would like to preface this wall of text by saying, I am very new at this. I may be missing something obvious. I'm working in Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I'm trying to use actionscript to create a textfield, and populate it with text. I've embedded my font in my project using the "Font Embedding" window. However, when the code to create the textfield is run, if "embedFont = true;", the font is invisible. The cursor still changes when hovering over it, so I know it's there. Or at least its text box is, I guess. Dynamic textfields with embedded text which are already on the stage seem to be unaffected.
I've tried changing the embedded fonts outline format, neither work. I've tried directly embedding the font with the "embed" tag via actionscript, but it doesn't seem to work with CS5, or I don't know what I'm doing. As you can see in the code provided, I've tried "registering" the font, with no success. I've tried using:

I'm trying to do to familiarize myself with flash. I'm loading an external XML document into a Flash AS2 project using the XMLComponent. I'm able to get everything to display properly within my lists except for my hyperlinks.
I've enclosed my hyperlinks in the XML document using the <![CDATA[hyperlink]]>. Once the movie launches.....the full URL tags are being displayed: (eg. <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> )
My hyperlinks are in there own seperate List component.

I've developed a small Flash [8] slideshow of ten 4x6 jpgs,optimized it, published it, and inserted it into a Dreamweaver [8]basic XHTML-compliant page, saved the page and previewed it in a variety of browsers. It works perfectly.Then I FTP'd it along with other files and photos for the site. and tested it out on the same browsers: everything EXCEPT the slideshow now works perfectly; there's not a trace of the ss.What am I doing wrong? I've retraced all of my steps several times -- I even re-FTP'd it -- all with the same result.

If I'm loading images via the <img> tag in a dynamic text field and an IOError is thrown, what would I attach the event listener too? the text field?
I tried this...
var textField:TextField = new TextField();
textField.htmlText = "here is some text <img src='image.jpg'> and then some more";
textField.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IOError, function (e:Event):void {
trace("error caught")
});
to no avail...

Basically, there is a Flash movie embedded in the HTML TextFiled. The code is is as follows:
<img src="[URL]" width="470" height="350"></img>
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>
<p>Is there any way to make the space between embedded Flash movie above and this text more narrow ???</p>
In case there is less line breaks (<br />) the text in the last paragraph is shown truncated from the beginnng (so it's like "ny way to make the space..."). Is this a bug in Flash Player or is there any way to render text below embered swf better?

I have embedded an automatic slideshow as a swf file into a website I'm designing for my parents. When I test the swf file, it performs exactly as expected but when I embed it into the html, it just sits there and doesn't run/animate/whatever.
The slideshow (should) automatically run through a group of 7 photos, with a fade transition and was all done with actionscript, loading the external jpeg files into alternate movieclip containers etc etc.
The web page where it doesn't work is here: [URL] - you can see that the swf just sits there, doing absolutely nothing.
The location of the swf file is: [URL] - as you can see, it works fine on its own!!

I am using swfin to embed a swf object (video player) and it loads fine in all browsers, but in firefox it won't "start".I have to right click on the movie area and "start" is unchecked so I click on "start" and it will start just fine. Yet, in chrome and IE (haven't moved to a mac for testing yet) it fires up and starts just as I expected. I have tried swfobject instead of swfin and I have IE issues that I couldn't seem to correct. Hence moving to swfin.Here is the swfin code:
`
var s = new swfIN("/Flash/video_player_playhead_overlays.swf", "flashMovie", "427", "280");
// s.hideSEO("div_seo");
s.addVar("video_file", "/DownloadableWork/Boardwalk.flv");[code]....

I am using swf object to embed a swf into a html page. When I compile the swf there are no errors yet when I embed it into a web page i keep getting thrown either one of these two errors the first time the page loads in Safari and Chrome TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at tracks/loadFlashvars()[code]In firefox I get thrown the same errors everytime the page loads. My swf loads other swfs and and they have XML loaders I thought maybe it could be something to do with the base swf not being fully loaded before the code is run so I have been playing around with setTimeout(); to try and make a work around but I am unsure if this is correct or if my embed code is wrong, which you can see below.URL...

I am creating a Flash project for a fundraising event and tend to test it every now and again. It is an accordion menu. It is going on a html page. I want the height to be relative to the width and the width to equal 100% of the browser window. When I set the html publish settings, I set it to 100% width & height. Then I embedded a swf using the loadmovie() method. I published it again. Everything seemed to be working OK but when my menu loads with the embedded swf, it goes back to normal size (actual size of project - 450x230).
