The problem is this: I have an swf embedded in an html. I must call a js function in the page from the swf via ExternalInteface. Ok. But it must work locally, for any user, without doing nothing. That's because this thing must be distributed in cdroms.
View 4 RepliesMainly because I have it ALWAYS working locally, when I test in a browser, but the moment I deploy to a server it stops working.
I've added trace commands and confirmed that ExternalInterface is in fact available before adding the callback, and an alert command in the javascript method correctly identifies the flash object. I also checked and allowscriptaccess is set to 'always'.
Could it have something to do with the flash being served on a remote server?
In my Flex app, I need a Javascript control to call one of my Actionscript methods. Simple enough, according to the Flex/Actionscript documentation, I wrote this in my Actionscript code:
if (ExternalInterface.available)
ExternalInterface.addCallback("setName", setNameInActiveWindow);
In the Javascript control I wrote:
document.getElementById('FlexAppId').setName(name);
Works great. Exactly as expected, so I went to production. But it doesn't work in production :(. Same exact code... I can't figure it out. The above Javascript code is run, but the callback is not executed in the Actionscript code.

I want a user running a Flash game on his machine (not from a server) to be able to save some game data locally.From what I've read, there still isn't any way to do this, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone knows a sneaky xml or php work around.
View 2 RepliesI have started a new fulltime job doing flash work (yay) and on my first two projects I keep running into a weird situation. For some reason the projects I create work just fine when tested on my development machine, but as soon as we try them on another machine in the office they will not work unless, we upload them to a webserver and view them from there.
I am working on and saving my files to a network drive on the server and can run them fine, but whenever anyone else with the same version of flashplayer and browser tries to run them off the same network drive they don't work? Now, I don't remember the exact error or problem with the first project, but on this second one I'm calling a function in a swf on a web page from javascript using AS3 ExternalInterface. On the other computers the browser reports a javascript error of "Object doesn't support this property or method" when once again, on my machine (and once posted online) works just fine. Also, before you start thinking it's a problem with ExternalInterface and javascript my first project was not using ExternalInterface or javascript calls.
I'm converting a several-years-old all-Flash site for a friend. I can activate the site in any browser if all the files are stored on my local drive but when I FTP the files to a server and try to launch, I get an error indicating either that the server has timed out or that the process is taking too long. I suspect the problem is in the index.html file which refers to some very old locations where the Flash Player is probably no longer obtainable, but I'm not sure.

I made (or copied) this XML 3d Carousel: [URL]
I changed some settings, just what I needed like stage size, thumbnail size and so it doesn't spin too fast when mouse rolls over.
I replaced the images with my own, so I have like four now spinning around. It works fine when I hit Ctrl + Enter to test my movie and aswell the carousel.html works in the browser.
I uploaded all files (four images named c_img(number).png, carousel.xml, carousel.swf and the AC_RunActiveContent.js) all in the same folder to my website through FileZilla but the god damn movie doesn't work on the web. It just shows the background so it must be the images are not loading in correctly, but I can't find what's wrong. I've checked the file paths and they are correct, I don't use any cross-domains. Honestly I can't find the problem, it works on the tutorial site so why not on mine? I basically just copied all, nothing more.
I did notice a strange thing though. If I write the direct address in the browser address field [URL] so it loads in full screen, the image carousel shows but very far outside to the right of the screen. I used Firebug and changed the size of the flash movie so I could see far beyond, it's very f'ed up..
Direct link to it: [URL]
If you have Firebug, use it and change the size of the flash and you'll see the carousel to the right of the screen, outside the main flash content area. :/

View 1 RepliesOkay, so at the moment I am making a game in as3 with the FlashPunk framework. I have managed to set up ogmo editor to work with it, and the results have been good! I intend to send the ogmo project to some friends, so that they can make some levels for my game themselves. But I have run into a problem. I wanted my friends to be able to test the levels they make, so I set about trying to find a simple open file dialog solution, Sp that they can select the generated XML file (.oel), and then load it in to the actual game.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to use Flash (or a Flash compatible service) to allow players in a game to host their own games (using their own bandwidth), through a web browser?

View 2 RepliesI don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I've created a flash project that works fine on my computer locally. When I take it to another computer(I've tried 3-4), my keyboard events are not working. I used Actionscript 3 to create the file. I've checked to see that the other computers had the latest version of Flash player, but it's still not working on those computers. Does anyone know why my file may not be working? Is there a specific plugin/download I need to have to make my files work?

So I am relatively new to Flash and After Affects but I managed to make a nice video with Adobe After Effects that my friend wanted to put on his site. After I was done rendering it I used Adobe Media Encoder to make the .avi file into a .f4v file for flash. After opening that flash file with Flash i exported it out into a .swf file. When I opened the .swf it played perfectly, just the way it should. I edited my index.html with Dreamweaver and the coding and everything seemed fine. After previewing the index.html with my browser and Dreamweaver's Live View I was quite satisfied with my results. When I uploaded the files onto my site the flash did not play. It plays locally on my PC but not on the site. I later asked a few more experienced buddies what was wrong and they confirmed that they weren't able to play the file locally nor from the site. At first I thought I may have mixed up the links but they were fine. Here is the code I used for my index.html page.

I have created many flash video over the years so I definitely know how to embed an flv into flash. Also, it is very hard to screw up the import video wizard in flash so I have eliminated that as a potential problem. I haven't created a movie in quite a few months and yesterday I tried to create one. I used the wizard in flash to import the working flv and when i hit ctrl+enter to preview, a blank white screen showed up. When I right clicked, it said movie not loaded. So I tried to use AS3 and netconnection to embed the movie. When I previewed it, the same thing happened. I then went to view one of my existing swf's that did not have a video and that did not work either. I searched and found the adobe flash player security preferences and changed settings and NOW I can view swf's that do not have video. I can ALSO view old swf's that have video embedded BUT as soon as I open the original fla file and press ctrl+enter to preview, the swf's DO NOT preview anymore
