In order to work offline I'm using XAMPP to develop a website which is working great except that I can't see any Flash content. External Flash players have no problem working offline but obviously won't load anything but SWFs and FLVs. Is there a way to get Flash to work in a browser while offline?

The following site only works if you are offline.[URL].. So how do they do this. I have even seen YouTube do something similar. just open YouTube and disconnect net and refresh. You will see the page below.

View 1 RepliesHow flash communicates to the browser window it is in? For example, whenever anything changes in HTML an event is generated. When an element is clicked, an onclick event is dispatched for that element. Do flash commands, such as ActionScript's getURL() method generate events that are registered by the browser window and the DOM? If not, is there any native communication between the browser and a flash movie?
View 5 RepliesI created a flash website component and everything works great in flash when I preview it, or if I view it from my hard drive via the flash player. All the flash components work except for the external videos. When I try to add it to my html file in dreamweaver and then publish it, none of the videos pop up, just the main layout.I've searched every forum and tried everything I saw and still no luck.I was able to get it to work if I link directly to html, but not if I'm linking to my hard drive which I upload to the server.Here is a link to both the html file and the swf file[URL]
View 1 RepliesI'm using ActionScript to listen for key presses and route to a method to handle them. It works fine in Flash Player Debugger 10.1, but does not work with the SWF in a browser. I've tried it with all sorts of keys: letters, numbers, etc. But I can't get it to work at all in the browser. I'm using Safari 5.1 and Firefox 3.6.8 on the Mac. Here's my relevant code:

I designed a website using tips from [URL]. It's a single .swf. Nothing complicated about the as3 script. Mostly gotoAndStop commands to jump around the timeline to the different sections of the site. My question is how to set up the site as individual swfs for each "page" so the back and forward buttons on an internet browser will function. I've seen samples of loading external swfs but it's not clear how to write scripts to jump around various pages for a website.
Here's the website: [URL]
Is it possible to make the flash content go back to some previous frame when the user clicks on the back button in the browser? Similarly, can the the refresh button be used to refresh to the same frame and not go back to the starting frame?
View 4 RepliesI'm building a site that needs to work both online (served in a browser using http://), and offline (served in a browser using file:///). The site is using basic HTML, but needs to be able to play FLV or MP4 videos. There are many video players that work online, but getting a player to work on the users machine is more problematic. Every one I have tried either doesn't work or shows a message about adding the flash movie to my trusted files in flash player.[code]Has anybody experienced a similar problem? Does anybody have a suggestion for alternatives that may work.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a 'Password' database with flash to push both to and from an external database, the only problem is that I do not want to have to run IIS or Apache or any other web server. Is there any way to read a non localhost/web based type database within flash? If so can someone point me to a tutorial or
at least in the right direction?
it does of course save the flash/game cookies to the macromedia folder but, what if i want to reformat? how would i, on reinstall of windows reload my game progress? theres gotta be a way?
View 11 RepliesI've got Flash content that needs to run within a web page off a CD. It works fine if I change the security settings in the Flash Global Security settings screen but that can only be accessed online. So...an the security violation be overcome with a cross-domain XML on the local drive somehow?
View 2 RepliesI am currently using Flex (Flash Builder 4) and making web service connections to a Apache PHP Zend AMF server to retrieve data. This works great, but I am wondering what options are available for fault tolerance. I know I can probably set up a second server that the application would switch to in the event it is unable to reach the first server. I am also thinking about trying to give each individual machine some tolerance.
For example, if they at least had the ability to input data to the application, that would be a start. So if they click 'save' and it can not reach the server, it caches it or stores it to a local file until the server is back up. Though lack of being able to do data look-ups might be a big problem. Maybe there are already some libraries or something I can look at to do this?
I've recently sucessfully ported a PHP/MySQL driven search to an offline Flash and XML format. It works perfectly loading its results from a large selection of XML files.The problem I have lies with Msie under SP2. Since there is a html frame structure for the offline site the browser silently fails to show the Flash movie that loads the XML files from the hard drive and displays search results. Another movie is responsible for collecting the search query and sends it to the results movie through a localConnection. Msie under SP2 obviously needs to be configured to allow this Flash file to be loaded and to let it retreive its xml files. My question is, are there nicer ways to work around this problem other than asking the viewer to manually configure his/her Internet Explorer..

I have created a button, and once you hit the button (within the HTML page), I want it to open another HTML page in the same frame, both HTML pages are stored in my hard drive offline. It required coding in the code snippet panel which I do not know.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with FLash+XML, and I had a thought: I don't want to give my clients Flash+XML solutions, if they will have to edit the XML themselves. It's too complicated for them.So I thought of a Flash Application for offline use, that would be some sort of a XML Content Management System, built in flash, suitable for offline use (user should upload updated .XML files which is OK). In this app, creating / editing / removing nodes should be like managing folders and their content in Windows Explorer.I don't believe my mind is bright enough to be the first having this idea, perhaps such program already exists. Does it?

I've made several flash buttons for use in my navigation bars. They work great but the "back" arrows on the browser are always grayed out. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of browser I use. The site was made in Dreamweaver and the Flash buttons are imbedded within the pages. I posted the same question on the Dreamweaver forum and got some vague answers.
Is there some code I can put into my Flash buttons?
The site is [URL] or just type "Fire on McGinnis" into a search engine.
I use a laptop which is never connected to the web for customer demos away from base. It does not have the Flash authoring environment installed either. Furthermore, a customer's own system used to run development versions of web sites using HTML with Flash content is not guaranteed to have web access either. Because some of the associated FLV files are quite large, uploading to a web host for such testing is not really viable even where clients have web access at meetings.
I have an AS3-based project which triggers Flash 10 local security protection on systems other those that used for authoring, for which the workaround is to set the source folder as trusted using the Flash Player Settings Manager. but [URL] doesn't seem to offer a useful way to avoid this problem without going on line to the Flash Player Settings Manager via an Adobe web site.

I'm having timing problems with a music video I am working on. The framerate it 24fps which for a 22 second animation should give me 528 frames. However, In the preview of the slides the 22 second mark on the sound is reached by about 310 frames. What's more, the 22 second point in the sound is reached at a later time in an exported swf movie, but still not 528 or 310. Why is the timing different in all viewing modes, which one should I use to time my video or how can I set them to all display the video at the correct timing?
