I am using flex sdk 4.5.1 and flash develop to compile my AS3 project. I have small images, about 12KB which is silly to load them using Loader class, so embeding is better solution.
However when this line at the top of my Main class is uncomented i get blank swf[URL]..(when i comment it out, the compilated swf is ok)
What could be the error. Why do I get the blank swf?
I am working on this one project that has a couple of movieclips (already placed on stage) which have a custom class set to export via the Library. Each of those custom classes loads an external SWF using URLRequest().
Is it possible (or, what is the best way) to preload the whole project first, including the external SWFs?
I have a Flex project in which I am embedding a Flash SWF containing an image viewer. The SWF file I'm embedding is supplemented by an XML file, which contains a list of images to show, and an images folder containing the images. The problem I'm running into is that the embedded SWF file is unable to load the pictures. I am able to see the forward/backward navigation buttons, but there are no loaded images. When I view the SWF file outside of the Flex project it works fine. Is this because Flex isn't allowing the SWF to reach outside and access other project assets?
Here's my code for embedding the SWF:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.events.CloseEvent;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

I'm creating a project in flex builder but it's not using the flex framework, it's just pure actionscript.
At the moment I have some bitmap resources embedded for drawing things, but I'd like a little animation and thought I could create swf animations for them in flash and use the [Embed()] thing to embed them in the actionscript project.
This works perfectly well for me, however I'm a little concerned about efficiency and how well this approach will scale when my project gets larger.
Does anyone know if there are any efficiency implications to embedding maybe 20 or 30 swf files, or do they get efficiently integrated into the main swf file? Most of the animations are really simple and I could probably redo them in actionscript if needed but it's a lot easier just to draw them in flash and embed them.
I created some button states in flash (swc), and I want to use them in a pure AS3 project. They are movie clips with class of neatButton_on and neatButton_off respectively. I call them like this:[code]I've also used assets, especially for different states of the same item, where I've put everything in one movie clip and then switched frames as needed. Is one way faster than the other? is there a best practice?

I have a project folder with buttons folder in it. I store all my button related classes in my buttons folder. However I get an ambiguity error. I am emebding an image in the PlayButton.as class

So it tells me there is some problem with the image I embed. What could be the problem?
I build a project with Flash Builder. I copied everything from the "bin-debug" directory to a server (including all images we use which are under /assets).
After I have updated the project, and a few images, i recopy the primary .SWF file (Main.swf) and everything under assets up to the server again. Unfortunately, when I run the application, I am clearly running all of the updated code but the images have no updated.
The new SWF was definitely copied up as well as the new images (I can say that with 100% certainty), and additionally, I cleared my Flash Cache, so that's most likely not the problem either.

I want an air application to be able to update the assets it uses, but minimizing the download needed, so only downloading files added since it last updated.I'm thinking this would include a server portion which would zip the needed files based on a version number? Has anyone implemented anything similar / got any thoughts on the best approach to building this sort of system?
View 1 RepliesI have an project that when you enter a certain number and click a ''enter'' button, it send you to an image (forest picture, desert picture, town picture, etc). In these pictures, I've hidded some object. In exemple, in the forest picture, there's some blue birds, red birds, green birds, etc. I want people to find them and click on them to get some information about these birds. The thing is that these birds are hidden. When I open my picture with windows viewer, i can zoom-in and find them with the little hand toolso everything is fine cause I can find them. The problem is that when I export my project as an animation, we can't find the birds because we cant's zoom in. My question is, is there a way to zoom-in these images and navigate trought them (with the little hand tool) like we can do with windows viewer? Or is there a way to just Zoom-in my animation?

The image don't show up, just.I had debug the application and found the bitmapData of aa was NULL. But if I implement out of Lib Project, this work!In properties of projects ai tried a lot configurations on Flex Library Build Path -> Classes / Assets. But none work correctly.
After completing building a flex project in Flash Builder 4.5, the project was exported using the File -> Export Flash Builder Project. After which some of the images stopped working (get the broken image icon).
View 2 RepliesI have a main.swf and main.as that loads child.swfwhen the child.swf is loaded an array of pictures sent to one of its functions to build a gallery.[url]...localy (from my flash CS5 publisher and published SWF/HTML) every thing works fine.when I upload the project to myweb server and run the site the child.swf is loaded but it don't load any picture.
I've added the site's folder on the server to the servers' flash player security pannel and tryd to add " flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");"to my project even thogth its the same domain, with no luck
I will not be hosting the .swf file and I would like to include images using Flash Builder 4. The images appear in a folder in the exported version and I'm not sure how to "embed" them into the .swf (so that I can deploy the file to sites like Kongregate, etc.)
Seems like it should be simple, but my Google fu is currently poor.
Edit: Note, I would like to continue using the Flex framework, which is what I am using now.
I am making a project to pull the external images, but this total bad one, what I would like to know is, I make to pull 5 external images showing one loading before show the images, I only start to show the images when all the images already will be pulled. Somebody knows as to make? or some tutorial one?

View 4 RepliesI need to know how to take the main file for the forum, which is a swf and load it into the main swf..
without the swf extension. so in other words I need to know how to put a url in flash so instead of being
mysite.net/forum.swf I would need it to be just mysite.net
the reason I cannot load the file directly is because it will just loop and do nothing if I do... were as the url itself loads off of the whole site not just that one file and it works perfectly when I use just the url without the file in it.
I know this is possible with java script and possibly a couple other things such as xml... but I don't know how to do it. so if you can please let me know how I am to embed a website that is based on flash into a current swf, on the same server please let me know in detail how to do it... try and remember I am not very knowledgeable in java or even flash... so please be specific about what I need to do

View 1 RepliesWe build prototypes and demo applications in Flex 4.5.1 and AIR 2.7 for mobile and desktop use. These tend to involve a large number of full-screen .PNG files. Lately we have been looking at ways to segment our code for flexibility and multi-screen re-use. What suggestions do people have for segmenting the project and libraries such that compile times are minimal and images are easy to replace?
View 1 Repliesi cant find info on this anywhere on google, even adobe's description doesnt work. basically i have figured out how to embed and access the children of a swf built in flash (YAY!!!), but theres another problem now.
a flex module complied to flash behaves differently, and embedding it doesnt seem to work, at all.
however this application pretty much depends on the modules being loaded with the main application so embedding the module is vital. i've tried countless techniques and so far the only thing i know woks so far is:

I'm building a project that dynamically loads external images and audio into it.The images in the external folder are numbered sequentially in the order they display as you click through them (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc). No problem.There is audio that is supposed to fade in a play with certain images. (1.mp3 fades in when 1.jpg is displayed.). No problem.Here's where it gets tricky... At least for me.Not every jpg has an audio file associated with it. The last audio that was triggered needs to keep playing until another jpg with cooresponding audio file plays, at which point the two audio files need to smoothly crossfade.1.jpg displayed => 1.mp3 fades in and plays.
(user clicks)
2.jpg displayed => 1.mp3 crossfades to 2.mp3.

I've purchased a flash template with an xml file that gives the path to the content to the .swf. This much i know! Also, I have all the source files! My issue is i would like to replace some of the images with video clips.
Here is the flash site (demo stock version) : http://oliviersaut.com/site_flash/[/URL]Here is the original version of the xml file: http://oliviersaut.com/site_flash/tfile_main.xml
As you can see with the flash site there are 4 sides, i would like to add videos thumbs (these i can make screen shots) on the left hand side that says "BEDROOM". Then once you've clicked the video thumb the video is displayed in the middle like the photos. Do i have to alter the original .FLA file to add .mov or other video formats into the center area that displays the full image of the small thumbs? the size is 788px by 524px.
Furthermore, Scrolling half way down the xml page you will find [I]<page name="GALLERY">[/I] and then <image imageUrl="_pic3.jpg" link="http://www.yourcompany.com"/> is there xml code that i can add to put in the video?
Also, here i can change the photos but it seems only in this exact order. If i remove a line or add more photos to the sequence the order does not correspond when i refresh the .swf file.
PS. I've also attached the xml file to this post.
I know that my question has been asked before but I didn't found any answer suitable for my case or even works. My problem is: I need to embed a Flash movie inside WPF application, then I need to use Externalinterface - or whatever the way is - to integrate through this flash movie - I'm working on Visual Studio 2008! I found some ways but no one worked with me .
View 1 RepliesIn my project i use swfs bundled with resources. These bundles are created from another utility application. Application creates an Package.as file with [Embed] tags puts all resources to the the same directory and runs mxmlc to compile bundle swf.
Bundled swf works like a charm. I can instantiate assets. however i want to implement another utility to edit these bundles ( to add and remove resources) Here is the problem. Since this bundle.swf is not created from Flash i cannot use:
[Embed ( source="oldbundle.swf", symbol="Package_res1" ) ] // ( "Package_res1" is class name of resource in bundle") in creating new swf. mxmlc returns symbol not found errors.
For bytearray assets i found a solution. I write bytearrays to disk, then use those files for embed.However i cannot do the same thing for vector graphics that were added as symbol from Flash swf into the original bundle. If i write bitmapdatas on disk i would lose vectorness ( Not sure if it is a word :) ). SVG is not a complete option to substute flash symbol.
Using as3swf, i inspected the bundle swf and saw SymbolClass tag. All of the assets are defined there. I don't know why embed tag cannot find the symbol. Difference with bundled.swf symbol and Flash swf symbol is, one extends SpriteAsset( an flex framework object) other extends sprite
What can i do to use older swf as embed source for new swf?
I cant "center" my project, like you can see its "fixed" (yellow lines) in the left side and I cant see "invisible" part of project... (area around the project). how can I move my project so I can see the not-project area around the project. (picture 2).
At the moment situation... (cant see that area around the project)
