Was just wondering how do these sites (and many other softwares that generate flash movies from audio clips,images , docs) work ? how do they compile the media files(audio/image/vid) into a flv movie on the server ? Can the same be done using some open source tech.
View 2 RepliesI use the JQuery plugin Uploadify for uploading files. It works fine in all browsers. If however I imlement a passwort protection via .htaccess like this
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /my/path/to/.htpasswd
AuthPGAuthoritative Off
Require user dev
uploadify stops working in Firefox. In Chrome it still works.
In Firefox the file select box works, but after I selected a file the progress bar does stay at 0% and the file is not uploaded to the server.
I guess the issue is somewhere with flash on password protected sites. how I can fix this, without removing the password protection?
How does this website enable a user to punch in any URL then see that site with a chosen flash overlay?

View 12 Repliesi would like to hear some feedback on how to seo flash sites using deep linking. I am using swfAddress and swfObject but the urls generated by swfAdress with # anchors are not really seo friendly, google just ignores enything behind the "#" and this could be end in cloaking.
View 2 Replies1) They're hard to edit. I never learned AS, and I'm kind of hesitant to learn it. Adobe Flash (using CS5), while kind of cool, is really complicated.
2) They don't show up on Macs.
3) They don't show up right when Google crawls it. It just looks like a picture or something embedded. There's no text, so Google has no clue what you're talking about.
4) You can't get FLA files from the "View Page Source" or even the FTP, you have to ask your client to give you those files. Chances are, especially with my luck, he doesn't have them.
So. Why would someone use Flash to build a website? Especially when HTML 5, CSS3, JQuery and the like can do a similar job? I know I'm pretty new at the more complex languages, but if someone could enlighten me as to why Flash is just as useful, if not moreso, than an HTML based site?
I'm wondering how to make scaleable flash sites - if you look at this[url]...
Even what ever size it is it uses all the corners and scales the graphics. But the great thing about this is that the menu is not scaled but kept in the same size.
I'm trying to do this effect with my website allowing me to shuffle through different websites, can anyone point me in the direction to a tutorial that breaks this down or can anyone try to explain it I'm very new to flash and only know the basics.
Code:
<div id="flash_banner">
<script language="javascript">

I would like to have a link on my wordpress site to view a flash version of the same site. Could it be done by creating a subdomain for the flash site and using robots.txt to hide the flash site from search engines to avoid duplicate content.

Most of them shows video in full size . I downloaded the video using FF plugin.Video framesize is very small compared to the stage size. When i tried to add video and resize the video acoording to the page size , it slows the browser. I tried to embed the flv inside an swf and loaded the swf using normal loader and plyed it.. but the quallity and performance comapred to these site is very low..
Can someone put some light on how to make video enriched flash site?
any one know what are the tutorial sites for flash web design..?
View 3 Repliesi stumbled accross the following website: URL...As you can see, the site is driven using a hd video. the user can interact with the site by performing little actions with the mouse. I guess this is simply accomplished by seeking through the video using the mousemovements as offset.What i would like to know is, how are videos like this encoded ? How big is the video behind a site like this ? Is the HD content streamed from the server ? What compression would you recommend for similar quality ? Do you guys know a tutorial/article that deals with constructing "video driven" websites like the one above ?

Having some sites on flash (SWFs, not necessarily with video content), is it possible to convert them on the fly by FMS into streams compatible to iOS's Safari? I didn't find any info about this in the documentation. The idea is to show video-"presentation" instead of actual site, when the site is shown to a client without Flash support. Also, is it ok to install Wallaby on the same Windows server where FMS was installed? I just want to make sure these two product do not interfere somehow. We are going to check all possibilities for sites converion to Apple platform.
View 6 RepliesSetup: an online tv channel with "youtube" like clips and categories our own flash video player which can be embeded into other remote sites as2 flash player Goal: To track who's embeding my videos, at least with basic statistics per domain.
Since it's AS2, it's harder to do this. My ideea is that I can create a php page which should be opened each time the player loads on any website; than the flash player can do a "geturl" of the php file which has Google Analytics code or some other decent tracker.
The geturl command could contain a variable like the Video Title which already is included in the player; and this title would pass on with GET to the php file and setup a dynamic page title which can be tracked very well. Problem: how to i use the GETURL function without have user's browser open a new tab or window. Is there any hidden way to do it?

View 1 RepliesI want to understand something if it is possible to do it in flash movie. I want to make flash animation with let say 4 pics.

Thus I want the images to be loaded from my server while the movie is been shown on other sites. I want to know if this is possible in flash.
View 1 Repliesi've been working with flash for a long time, but there's still something that i don't quite think i'm understanding fully. i see many of these sophisticated photography sites programmed so that the photo fills the whole screen (such asand the photo is crisp and clear on any sized monitor.i know how to set the site to be programmed to fill 100% of the screen, and i know how to "trace bitmap" inside of flash so that the photos work a little better. they then act more like vector images than bitmaps which tend to pixelate when proportions are enlarged. but when i use the "trace bitmap" feature, the flash file often becomes very large size in terms of KB, even when some detailed smaller images are traced.
View 1 RepliesI am new to Flash but am slowly teaching myself via [URL] etc I have an image that I have added to a website via a content management system and want to make certain areas of that image into links to other sites. I found this page that does the kind of thing I want to do, but it appears from looking at the source code that the person who has done this has cut the image up into several sections in order to fit it into a table: [URL] Is there a better way to achieve the same kind of effect using Flash by making ares of an image into links and keeping the image as a whole?

aside from using ICE, is there a way for someone to update a flash site with pictures and text who doesn't have flsah installed on their computer? i.e., how can you add as well as replace additional text and image files without doing it in flash and publishing a swf file everytime?
View 2 RepliesI am making flash CS4-based music player with ActionScript 3. When I host the player on my site, e.g. [URL], and play an mp3 on the server of my site, e.g.[URL], it works well.
When I link to an mp3 of another site, e.g. [URL], in my local machine, it also works. However, when I host the music player in my site [URL], and play an mp3 of [URL], then it can't be played.
I'm using flash sockets to build an embedded chat application. everything works great. I want to allow all the sites who embedded this application to connect to my server, except for some sites.
My problem is that the number of sites that I don't want to connect to my server is a very large one( 4-5k). Currently from what I seen all you can do is tell in your policy file the domains that you allow/not allow.
What I'm looking for is a way for flash player to send me the domain where the flash is embedded and I could return an accept/decline response. I know I can send info about the site where the flash is embedded using actionscript, but this can be very easy simulated.
I found this site. It has a lot of cool usefull stuff, plus you can put on your own stuff and sell it.
