I wish to get some data from a flash site. Now it is not possible to get the data directly from html. Now I have noticed using firebug that a xml file is sent to the browser containing the data I want, when I click on certain parts of the flash site. Is there any way to automate this?

View 3 RepliesI'm searching for a scriptable/automated way to have the latest version of Flash installed on Windows XP and Windows 7 testing machines.
These machines serve testing purposes, however, because of the number of different machines we have, it is unwieldy to update them all by hand.
How can the installation of Flash be automated?
My goal is to make a flash/as3 program that would pull multiple sets of data (images and texts) from the database and compile and save a flash video project for each one. What might be the best way to go about making this work? I checked but wasn't able to find a function that would publish the flash project in it's current state, so I don't think I can execute the entire process in a single flash/as3 file. My only other option is to have some other program/batch file take care of the querying the database and compiling multiple flash/as3 movies by starting up a flash program and passing it the parameters of the data it needs to build 1 complete project for 1 set of data. Is there a program to create .swf files automatically? Is it even possible to pass in init params to flash/as3 project?

I am building a flash site that in one of the sections requires inidividual mp3 playback.I have 4 artists, all on the same timeline, distinguished by frame labels.I have created an mp3 player, with the actionscript:[code]What I am hoping to do, is have the actionscript and mp3 player on the main timeline, and to call a different mp3 url on different frame labels.Can anyone suggest a code I could add to the attched to do so? I guess I need to stop the streaming of one url before calling another too,

View 1 RepliesI'm a complete newbie regarding Flash development, but I've been tasked with automating SWF creation from an AVI source (and quickly!). Once the SWF is finished playing it should endlessly loop from the last frame to about 5 seconds prior to the end frame. Think of a speaking character, followed by some idle movements. We want the idle movements to endlessly loop. What I've done/need to do is:
1) Automate the creation of the AVI. Done.
2) Convert the AVI to SWF (using FFmpeg). Done.
3) Write Actionscript to detect the last frame, and then jump
to some other frame.
4) Merge the SWF with the actionscript and produce a new SWF which is then placed on a website.
Being a newbie to Flash, I'm overwhelmed by the array of options out there for something so simple in concept. I'm looking for a command line solution so everything can be completely automated. My questions are: Can steps 3 & 4 be done with the FlexSDK? What would the steps be to get something like this accomplished?
I've created a multi-file interactive Flash "demo" for a client. It's very much like a website (though he's not using it as a website) in the way that it is laid out in that there is a main index page which can then direct you to different product categories, which you can click on to see. Each "page" contains product (or product category) information, photos, block diagrams, etc. There is nothing animated in the Flash.
My client also wants to be able to set it up so that the demo runs automatically from a configurable XML file. My ActionScript skills are pretty limited, but I've been able to using ActionScript 3 to load and read the XML file. Using a 'for' loop, I am able to read the XML file and return the path of each Flash file and the duration that each file should be displayed (my client requested that he be able to configure the duration of each page as well).
I've set up a loader for each movie clip and a timer for the display duration. Unfortunately, the thing that is throwing me off is that when I attempt to load the movie clip (as the last item in the for loop), it reads the entire XML file, returns all of the clips and durations (I'm using trace to see this) before it loads the movie clip. As a result, the only movie clip that is loaded is the last one read from the XML file.
As I said, I'm not very good at ActionScript, so everything that I've managed to cobble together has been from internet tutorials.
This is my code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
var mcLoader:Loader = new
[Code].....
I removed the timer event because it, like everything else was getting repeated before anything got loaded, so I wanted to figure out out to get the clip loader (mcLoader) to load the movie clip for each file before I figured out where to put the time to ensure that each clip is displayed for the appropriate duration. I suspect that the timer event needs to occur in the 'playClip' function, but would take advice on that as well.
1. Can skip "Exporting SWF Movie" step once i successfully exported and built an swf.I dont need to to export & built it every time when there are no code/design changes. Wasting lot of time to export to swf file. Can I skip and run already built swf from CS4 workspace directly?
2. Is there any commandline/scripting provisions is available in CS4 to automate the exporting/publishing part. So that i can run the script to publish a swf?

I have a problem in presenting Flash objects in Firefox. The code below works fine in IE, but not in Firefox.
[Code].....
The page is loaded with Flash player 9 in Firefox 3.5.5 for Windows XP. note that we can't afford to have the wmode value other than 'window.'Actually the phenomenon occurs only with the 'window' wmode.You can change the 'movie' value to whatever you want.
When the page is first loaded in Firefox, it looks normal (or not).But when you move the mouse over the video clips or play them,they start stepping on each other's toes:
The images are overlapped,and the intersection of the screen keeps flickering.
We played with this and that attributes or parameters,put the clips in <iframe>s,but none of them succeeded.
PS: I'm not sure whether it is Firefox or Flash that's causing this.If this is not the right place for a question like this, I offer my apology.
I have Flash project that I have placed in Dreamweaver and when I test it, it's not showing up on Firefox, but it does in IE. I'm publishing .swf, html, and .exe and .app. Is it the way I'm publishing it or is it in Dreamweaver?

I have a flash component written in flex which reads a xml file and shows up its data. This works fine in IE and Chrome, but not in Firefox.When i used fiddler to check for the problem, it started working fine.And now i have come to the conclusion that when fillder is running in the background and i access the flash component it works fine (reads all the xml data and shows it up), but when i close fiddler and do the same....i get the following error, "Error reading {myfilename} file."
