Hi, I just started a job working in-house e-commerce, and their current CMS system won't allow my flash banner to load an external swf. It works on its own but just not placed or uploaded in their cms system. What does the tech team have to do to code that in? Is it an easy process? tks any help is much appreciated ...
Hi guys Wondered if anybody knows how customizable Flash swf files are made, where there appears to be a template swf that the user can then input some changes (eg text or image) and receives a newly-compiled swf file with their changes. Some examples: - http://flashfreezer.com/landingconfetti/index.html Constraints: - user receives a...

While embedding a SWF in HTML is not too hard, there are a few subtleties for different browsers, detecting if Flash is installed, etc. For enabling AJAX, there are standard chunks of code you can use to save the hassle of coping with all cases... is their a similar 'reference implementation' to embed a SWF which covers all the bases? ...
Have have a question about FLV files, do FLV files stream when you post them on the web? I am linking to a number of FLV files on the web and want to have seamless view of the videos. SWF files seem to stream ok-- E.g.: https://drchrono.com/site%5Fmedia/uploaded%5Fmedia/training%5Fvideos/getting%5Fstarted.swf I don't want people to ha...
I have some data-crunching code implemented in ActionScript, and I'd like to call it from JavaScript. The related question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/460242/interacting-with-actionscript-2-0-using-javascript mentions the blog post http://blog.circlecube.com/2008/02/01/actionscript-javascript-communication/ which tells me how to d...
Hello, I'm building an swf player, it works fine for local swf files, but not when the swf tries to access external resources (rss). I figured out that Adobe AIR is blocking that access. Does anyone know if it's possible to bypass this security mechanism, maybe using a LoaderContext ? I'm getting this message: * Security Sandbox Viola...

Hi, So I have this interactive swf file that I loaded externally as a background, everything's fine, but it's just not interactive anymore, I can't click on it. I googled this problem for a really long time and couldn't find an answer, I've tried the normal Flash way, and also using this library CASAlib, still couldnt find a solution. ...
I'm trying to use the following js to change the width and height of a swf. $('object').attr({'width':100,'height':100}); $('object embed').attr({'width':100,'height':100}); The script works well on firefox, safari, IE8. However, it doesn't work on IE7. Is there any solution? ...
Fundamental question here. Typically in AS3 you load in a SWF via the Loader, and what you get is some sort of pseudo MovieClip that is of type "Loader". Is there any holy way under the sun to cast this loaded SWF to a custom type that extends MovieClip and not Loader, assuming the SWF was published with a base class of the custom type?...
I have been investigating swfmill and ran it against some of my AS3 SWFs, I get <UnknownTag id="0x52"> <data>...</data> </UnknownTag> and UnknownTag id="0x4C"> <data>...</data> </UnknownTag> These lines are most likely contain the data I am looking for, but the data is unreadable. Does anyone know of another way to f...
Are there any tips / best practices / secrets for optimizing the size of AS3 SWF files? In particular, any way to get a breakdown of what is taking up space inside the SWF, like you used to be able to in the old Flash 7/8 days? I'm not using the Flash IDE any more, but now I'm using either Flex Builder or FlashDevelop, so it needs to be ...
Hi all, I've got a fla player and I'm trying to get it to display inside a div properly, it looks ok in IE (only after you refresh the page), but none of the other browsers show it properly (only 1/4 of the tv shows).. The flash document size is 336px x 220px and I've placed the tv and remote inside. I'm using SWFObject to call the flas...
I am working on a software project that uses video. I am in the process of refactoring this software, the process of which requires me to convert some video files from swf to mpg (the swf files were created using Adobe Premiere). Can someone point me in the direction of a software package (open source, if possible) that will do a lossl...
I have a flash gallery that uses a dynamic swf file to load data from xml and load images. This same swf files is used over several times for different clients in the portfolio section. But now it apears that the swf is loaded everytime a different client is clicked even though they all access the same swf file, any ideas? ...
I've been racking my brain trying to figure this one out as it's been a problem on the past few sites I've worked on (though they haven't gone live yet) and rather than trying to rig up a solution I'd like to try and discover the root of the problem. Here's the site in question: (url removed) Basically I coded this homepage out as plai...
Hi, I am adding multiple flash objects(swf) in HTML. When I try to find any of these objects (using 'document[swf_id]'), the browser returns 'null' unless the object of interest is acted upon. (Implicitly as I understood, I would always get 'null' if I have interacted with none of the objects). Can somebody help me to know the reason? ...
When the user clicks on a thumbnail it activates swfobject and simple modal. It opens the modal and loads the swf into the modal. The swf is loading an flv. I used Flash to do the flv -> swf thing. In IE7 there is an audio echo when it's being played in the modal, but not when just watching the swf from the server. I have sucessfully u...
