I'm working on an interactive CD for a summer camp. What are my options for showing a PDF file within a Flash projector? AIR or a .NET wrapper are not options because we can't rely on any frameworks that may not be installed on the end-users' machine.
(We've used FlashPaper in the past, but it looks bad and its not supported anymore. What's about fscommand?)
EDIT: Reading a link posted in Jordan's question, I saw the possibility of embedding a web browser in the flash projector. Is there a way to embed a web browser or trigger a web browser (pointing to a particular local file) in a Flash Projector?
I want to display a uncommon layout into a HTML Textfield, using AS3/Flash CS4. This is what I need to create, is it possible? [URL]... I have tried some CSS styles, but I didn't found any way to align a span to the left. TLF is out of my range, the related project is closed to CS4, but if it is the only way, someone tell me!
I want to create a game that has a HUD, showing the player's energy, money and the number of days that has passed. In the hud, I have created an editable text, which I assume would be the same as a dynamic text (I recently transitioned to as3). The editable text also has an instance name. As I create number variables, how would I go about having the variable numbers show up inside the editable text?
I have the content of a scrollpane that, when clicked, show a tooltip movieclip with attachMovieClip; the problem is that the attached movie clip, for the first rows, goes under the border of the ScrollPane and is partially invisible.
Is there a way to solve this problem (without changing the position of the attached movie clip?)
In my asp.net application,I want to show the .ppt file using the slide show manner.
That's to say,user can upload .ppt file to my server side,then other people can browser these ppts in the page ..
Since I have googled "embed powerpoint in web page" ,it seems that there is not a good idea to implement this and support the cross browser,so I thought the flash.
This is a slide show using the flash: [URL]
What I want is show the contents of the .ppt in this manner(it would be better if it support the animations in the ppt)?
Im pretty new with the flash -> php -> mysql thing .. And I have made a script that sends some variables (that a user inserts in some input forms) with some var names, and then php handles it and insert it into my MySQL database its kinda ugly that a page pops up and opens the php page.So I was wonderin' if there is some way to send the variables to the php file and process them inside the flash file. without openin' some fancy browser window ?
i want to know how i can put a flash file inside a flash wbsite. i have found a tutorial [URL] that says something like that but in this tutorial if i understand correctly it creates a new flash project and add another swf inside. i have my website created and i just want to add video gallery, image gallery etc that are already swf. how i can do that?
i want to know how i can put a flash file inside a flash wbsite. i have found a tutorial (search on google for 4906532_within-another-flash-swf-file.htm since i cant add links) that says something like that but in this tutorial if i understand correctly it creates a new flash project and add another swf inside. i have my website created and i just want to add video gallery, image gallery etc that are already swf.

public function loadImage(filename:String):void { // show the preloader
When I try to publish my flash file to a windows projector file (exe), it doesnt show up in the folder that I have it set to save to. Below are images of the process I go through to publish it, and it still doesn't show up, even when I directly set the folder. I have tried restarting my computer and flash.
I know how to setup a preloader and I have that working. But when I debug the flash application and simulate a download, it has a blank background until a few seconds have passed. I know it is "downloading" the swf file and I'm wondering if I can show a progress bar for that, or do I need to have the swf file as small as possible and pre load everything needed and have all assets as a separate file I fetch? I found something with ProgressEvent.PROGRESS but this only loads after the flash file is finished downloading.
My problem is that my scroller (made by Claudio I think) is working perfectly.. but when I put it inside of a movie clip it just won't show the loaded text. I donno why is it doing.. and I need it to be inside of MC.
im working on a website called [URL] and im trying to get it to have coming soon on it so I created a swf file called index but it wont play unless you type in. [URL] For the life of me I cant figure out why it wont go to it...im using dreamweaver cs3 to create the page
I'm using FlowPlayer to replace an existing FLV player on my site that plays videos from Amazon E3. I have many pages and each should show a different video. For each page, I have a value stored in my CMS that is the "streamName". The stream name corresponds to a flashvars paramenter in the object/embed tags that show the video player:&streamName=my-great-video
On my new player, I'm able to get the video using a URL similar to [URL] How Does Flash (or Amazon???) know to add in the .swf extension? There are several video formats used on the site, and the current player works with them all... But, as I mentioned above, on each page the value store for the video (ex="my-great-video") includes no extension.
I'm trying to build a flash component for my upcoming website where I have to read data from a XML file and show these with a fading 5 second interval - I guess you could call it an image-fader/content-fader or some such :-) Before I post my code I would like to let you know that my experience with AS3 is quite limited as I've always been working with Silverlight (C#) instead.
Flash file wont show up on page unless you type in direct location. I am working on a website called phocusmag and I am trying to get it to have coming soon on it so I created a swf file called index but it wont play unless you type in. Phocusmag.com/flash/index.swf
For the life of me I cant figure out why it wont go to it...im using dreamweaver cs3 to create the page <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL]"> <html xmlns="[URL]"><head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> [Code] .....
I create a super simple .fla using flash MX 2004 professional. I put this code under the button I created.
on (release) { var mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("trianglemajor", 1); mc.createEmptyMovieClip( "triangle", 5000); with (mc.triangle) { lineStyle (5, 0xff00ff, 100); [Code] .....
I just see a blank screen when I click on the button. My objective is to show the movieclip mc inside my created scroll pane?

I'm trying to add a DataGrid inside a spark TitleWindow and for some reason its not showing up correctly.When I put the same code in the main mxml, it comes up correctly. The exact same code shows up weird in the TitleWindow.
I'm doing some experimenting to try and get the file size smaller and I need to open my swf to make sure some components didn't embed them selfs within the swf. Is there a tool, or a way to open swf to view the contents inside the swf? Such as winrar (which doesn't work) or something of that sort?
I am trying to use a huappage tv capture card as a video source for a actionscript-controlled-video object inside flash, but all it does is crashes.My tv tuner is the only image aquisition device installed in the computer, and therefore the default.When a run a blank flash movie and right click, settings, to select the webcam option, it also crashes. Obviously this works fine with a web cam, but not any one of my three different tv tuners that I have tried.Is it possible, by any means (not just getcamera) to get a tv signal inside a flash file.The code I am using:
mycam:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); myvid:Video = new Video(); myvid.attachCamera(mycam); // myvid is a 'action-script-controlled' video object on the stage.
i have created a silverlight application , but i need to embed it to a Flash file(swf) which it runs with Flash Player ( whithout using browser), I had found a solutions to call it using javascript, but it still needs my flash file run inside the browser, dose any one can help me, Either to run js inside swf (without need of browser) or any other way that i can embed my Silverlight application inside Flash.
I have searched for this everywhere but it seems like every answer is either overcomplicated or simply does not work, and I know for sure there should be a more simple way of achieving what I need. So, until today, I have always coded from within the timeline. But now I realise why I should code in separate class files. However, I still want to include snippets of code in the timeline for simplicity's sake.
I am trying to access a button inside an external swf file that I loaded. Problem is every time I try to access this button I get an error saying that it's null!
Here is my code:
public class DocumentClass extends Sprite { public var loader:Loader; public var swfFile:URLRequest;
[Code].....
Now this should work, code-wise I think its correct. The problem is that loader cant find the required button. There is indeed a button in the loaded movieClip with an instance name of "button", I double checked that.
[URL] basically i was just a layer too high and this is why i couldn't access anything..
I never worked with movie files before and I'm having problems to play a f4v file from a html file.
Inside flash, when I do a ctrl+enter, the video shows and plays just fine.
When building the .html file to play it all, only my presentation and movie skin will show up but the movie won't load.
Even if I do a file > publish the video won't show up or play. Everything I have on timeline is working just fine (and again, even the videoskin is showing up).
Now, do I have to change anything inside publish settings or do I need to try something different with html?
ps: here's the part inside html code where I insert the swf:
