Create an EXE from a SWF using Flex 3 without requiring AIR?

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 ...

FLVPlayback component memory issues

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 ...

How can I resize a swf during runtime to have the browser create html scrollbars?

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 ...

How to safely embed any flash file (swf)?

I want to allow my users to embed their own Flash animations in their posts. Usually the actual file is hosted on some free image hosting site. I wouldn't actually load the flash unless the user clicked a button to play (so that nothing auto-plays on page load). I know people can make some really annoying crap in flash, but I can't fi...

Can I develop flash without buying anything?

I'm a little lost here. I don't know flash, but I want to learn - especially since Adobe's opened up the spec. I don't want to learn badly enough to shell out for the real tools, though. What sort of toolchain is available for flash/swf/flv/etc compiling, processing, converting, etc? What do I need to know, and where should I start? ...

Combinging SWFs and other resources into a single SWF file

We have a program that produces several SWF files, some CSS and XML files, all of which need to be deployed for the thing to work. Is there a program or technique out there for wrapping all these files together into a single SWF file? ...

Flex Framework - How to tell if user is using cached framework?

I have a public facing application deployed with Flex. I want to switch to using the cached framework (.swz) but need to know if for my user base this is an effective solution or not (most users will only visit the site once and its just not worth it). What I want to do is track whether or not a user has loaded the .swz/.swf file during...

Replacing strings inside SWF

We've got dozens of versions of an SWF modified for different customers of a big Flash project, and now would have to replace some strings embedded in scripts in each copy. The FLA file for some of these is very difficult to locate or even missing (I inherited this mess and refactoring it is currently not an option). Is there a (free) t...

How do I launch a standalone SWF from within an Adobe AIR application?

I'm completely new to AIR but what I'm trying to do feels like it should be quite easy. I want my AIR app to execute (launch) an SWF in the standalone Flash Player (just like if I were to double click it). Please note that I don't want the AIR app to embed the SWF. Just run it. Can this be done? ...

Optimizing Flex when multiple modules are used

I have a Flex application where load time is extremely important (consumer site). i want to be able to get something up on screen and then allow additional modules to be loaded as necessary. The issue I'm facing is that the sum total of all the modules is much larger than if i were to include all the components in a single .swf file. I...

Is there a way to detect Flash playback progress, using the Flash ActiveX object, when progress is NOT on the main timeline?

I've done some programming where I've embedded the Flash ActiveX control into my program. I'll play SWF files in a "playlist" provided by the user. Typically, I've kept a timer going that looks at the CurrentFrame vs. TotalFrames to detect forward motion. I don't allow for looping - if the CurrentFrame ever decreases, I jump out of the f...

Actionscript - combining AS2 assets into a single SWF

Hi guys, I have a flash project that I'm trying to export as a single SWF. There's a main SWF file that loads about 6 other SWFs, and both the main and the child SWFs reference other external assets (images, sounds, etc). I'd like to package everything as a single .swf file so I don't have to tote the other assets around with the .swf...

Loading a video from the local file system...

I have a swf that is run from C:/ in the browser instead of a server (long story) and that swf loads a video that it located at ../../videos/video in relation to that swf. Problem is, When I run it in Flex, everything is cool. Running locally, it can't find the file (not a security error) and is throwing a connectionError. Any ideas...
