What is the best way to display Flash content in a C# WinForms application? I would like to create a user control (similar to the current PictureBox) that will be able to display images and flash content. It would be great to be able to load the flash content from a stream of sorts rather than a file on disk....
I am interested in learning how to write Flash programs, but I'm not ready to shell out the big bucks for Flash CS3 Professional. What's the best compromise between affordability and education? Edit: @sparkes: Given that this is for personal education only, and not something I'm likely to use for professional purposes anytime soon, I'm...
I'm aware of FusionCharts, are there other good ones?...
A quick glance at the present-day internet would seem to indicate that Adobe Flash is the obvious choice for embedding video in a web page. Is this accurate, or are they other effective choices? Does the choice of ASP.NET as a platform influence this decision?...
This page from Adobe says to add a "wmode" parameter and set its value to "transparent": http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_1420 This works flawlessly in IE. The background renders correctly in Firefox and Safari, however as soon as you use the browser's scroll bar then mouse over the Flash control you must cl...
We have a custom-built Flash-based video player that I maintain, and it needs to support preroll ads and ideally both progressive video playback and streaming depending on a server switch. I've been working with the flvPlayback component but am finding myself a little out of my depth. Are there any good tutorials or resources for unders...
I'd like a concise introduction to the different options. ...
I'm having trouble connecting (via the Socket and XMLSocket classes) to a TCP listener after a connect timeout. I have a flash applet that needs to maintain a TCP connection to a server. I have implemented timeouts using Timers, a ping-pong system, etc. However, there's a problem. Upon calling Socket.connect(), the flash player (9.0.115...
I have a Flex swf hosted at http://www.a.com/a.swf. I have a flash code on another doamin that tries loading the SWF: _loader = new Loader(); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://services.nuconomy.com/n.swf"); _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaderFinish); _loader.load(req); On the onLoaderFinish even...
I've been having some trouble parsing various types of XML within flash (specifically FeedBurner RSS files and YouTube Data API responses). I'm using a URLLoader to load a XML file, and upon Event.COMPLETE creating a new XML object. 75% of the time this work fine, and every now and again I get this type of exception: TypeError: Error #1...
My company develops several types of applications. A lot of our business comes from doing multimedia-type apps, typically done in Flash. However, now that side of the house is starting to migrate towards doing Flex development. Most of our other development is done using .NET. I'm trying to make a push towards doing Silverlight devel...
I'm looking into doing some development for Flash. Do I need to buy expensive commercial tools or are there some FOSS tools out there I can get started with? Clearly there are a lot of tools out there, but are they good enough to actually get work done? What would I be missing by avoiding the commercial or official tools? ...
I want to show HTML content inside FLASH. Is there some way to do this? I am talking about full blown HTML (with JavaScript if possible) ...
I have a simple little test app written in Flex 3 (MXML and some AS3). I can compile it to a SWF just fine, but I'd like to make it into an EXE so I can give it to a couple of my coworkers who might find it useful. With Flash 8, I could just target an EXE instead of a SWF and it would wrap the SWF in a projector, and everything worked ...
My website is entirely flash based, it moves around a 3D model which was given to me as chunks of video that I've converted to FLV files. I'm using the FLVPlayback component to control the video inside of my program. While running memory checks using System.totalMemory I've noticed that whenever a video is loaded, it will eat up a chunk ...
I've done several flash projects working as the actionscripter with a designer doing all the pretty things and animation. When starting out i found quite a lot of information about actionscript coding and flash design. Most of the information available seems to focus on one or the other. I didn't find any information about building flas...
This error just started popping up all over our site. Permission denied to call method to Location.toString I'm seeing google posts that suggest that this is related to flash and our crossdomain.xml. What caused this to occur and how do you fix? ...
I have a swf with loads text into a Sprite that resizes based on the content put into - I'd like though for the ones that are longer than the page to have the browser use its native scroll bars rather than handle it in actionscript (very much like http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/...) I did have a look at the stuff nike did but ...
I'd like to render to svg data in a swf at runtime (not in Flex - not using degrafa) - how would I go about doing that? ...
Is it possible to use a flash document embedded in HTML as a link? I tried just wrapping the object element with an a like this: <a href="http://whatever.com"> <object ...> <embed ... /> </object> </a> In Internet Explorer, that made it show the location in the status bar like a link, but it doesn't do anything. I...
