How can I download a .swf file?

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to make an Objective-C application (using Apples Cocoa framework) to download .swf files off the internet.
All the my program requires ia the URL address of the .swf file, (http://media.y8.com/games/content/Bowser_Ball.swf, for an instance). And then you're supposed to click the "Start download" button to start downloading the .swf file. But how could I actually download the file, and save it to a file on the users disc?
What would you suggest? - Please post a snippet or a link for reference .

Ahh thanks, I got it downloading the .swf files now, and I can play them without any problems what so ever!
My only concern now is the user interface!
I have this message box in which it is supposed to print "Downloading and saving SWF file.." and then start the animation of a NSProgressIndicator and then print "Downloaded and saved!" and stop the animation of the NSProgressIndicator once the files is downloaded & saved.
But it's like it's downloading and saving first, and then starting and stopping the animation etc, etc.. so I never actually get to see the animation & text updates? - How can this be changed? - Here's a link to my Controller.m class:

How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?
Thanks.

you can use file/import but that would be a mistake.
you should "load" your swf, not import it.
if you want to load it and need help, are you using as2 or as3?

How can I download Adobe Proto files as a zip?

Hi.
I was wondering why I can only download Adobe Proto files as file type "Proto/.pro" I read that it would be possible to download a zip of the original via Creative Cloud giving me the css, jquery etc. of the wireframe.
It would be great if someone could help me out and let me know how it's done as I have no use for ".pro" files..
kind regards

How can I download a .xlsx file using Numbers?

I'm new into Mac & I have no clue in how can I open a excel file .xlsx in a Mac...when I tried it showed the file was corrupeted. Anybody? Please.

It may in fact be a corrupted file, in which case you are out of luck. You could try opening it with LibreOffice and if that works, save the file as .xls and try the saved file with Numbers.

How can i open pc .swf files

How do I open PC .swf files? Dialogue message:The document “Chapter7_review.swf” could not be opened. AppleScript Editor cannot open files in the “AppleScript Editor Document” format."

It's normally adobe flash format.
If you don't want to install flash (Lion does not install it) use the 'google chrome' browser which has it's own flash player.
I use Lion > Safari > with No Flash installed and just use the develop menu option to open the page in chrome if necessary..

there is no way, in order to view it - is has to be cached.
Once cached, it can be dig out w/o any problem.

How Can I protect my swf files from decompiling / saving

I have navigated through the internet for a long time now but
could not find the solution to my problem which is "how to protect
my swf file from decompiling/saving"?
I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a file
on the internet that cannot be saved or decompiled using any
software that I have come across (ie:SOTHINK decompiler, saveflash)
http://www.3dinternet.com/video.swf
Any help? any hints ?
Thanks

There is no way to protect your SWF from decompiling. Any
commercial
software on the market can be decompiled -- including the
Flash authoring
tool and Photoshop, for example -- which is why softare
generally ships with
an end user license agreement (EULA) that expects you to
agree not to
decompile or reverse engineer your purchase.
Most Flash content (other than RTMP requests for video, for
example) are
HTTP requests, which by nature means the content is
downloaded to your hard
drive, just like HTML documents, CSS files, JPGs, and GIFs.
Your browser
requests the files, downloads them to your hard drive, then
displays them
from your local copy.
> I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a

What you've seen, then, is merely the result of software
that uses
unknown (to you or to your sofware) encryption/obfuscation
algorithms. Keep
trying, and you'll eventually nail it.
At best, you can use obfuscators to temporarily deter a
certain segment
of the decompiling-inclined population.

How can I encrypted my SWF file

Hi
I will create some SWFs and will want it to be played on WINCE device platform, but i need the SWF be encrypted and only played on my device. How can we do?

All rather vague so I'll just guess:
1. Restore from your back up
or
2. Use a file recovery application like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

How can I get my swf files playing on browser?

Hello,
I've been designing my first website and have used dreamweaver, which is very new to me. I've followed a very good beginners guide to making websites and all was well. However, it had nothing about uploading swf files. So I did some research, and found that the easiest way was to insert them into a div box using the media section and choosing swf. again all was well, I can preview it in chrome etc.. and all works fine.
I've come to uploading my site and I've used filezilla, uploaded all the files but I can't see the swf playing on the website. I've looked into it and I just can't find the answer. I've tried uploading them directly into the root folder as well but that doesn't work.
Can somebody please help me!!
here are the links:
www.creativecanvassing.co.uk = the swf should be positioned between the orange logo and the "national direct marketing company' text. There is also the section in picture which has the same problem
not too sure how to attach the copy of the file that shows its all working
Thanks

Hello,
are you really sure that you have uploaded this page with contents? I've got this, when calling this link: http://www.creativecanvassing.co.uk/pictures.html:

How can I get a swf file to load...

Not sure if this is the place to ask this but I have a swf file embeded in a web page design.
Now here’s the issue, the client wants to add more photos to it making it even larger.
I would prefer not to make it larger but create 2 or 3 swf files that would randomly load when the webpage is refreshed or reloaded.
Is there a way to code a random swf loading in HTML?
Would I use javascript? I googled and found nothing on the subject.
Thank you

If you know JavaScript (ECMA Script) then you might be able to get it done applying a for loop and a random function
to the for loop if you know how to get a page-loaded request into JavaScript.
But an easier solution, if you know ActionScript 3.0, and if your SWF's don't need to be recoded and can load into a "container" SWF would be to create a master FLA file that loads your SWF's in a random fashion using Math.random() as a multiplier, though you won't see much variation if you only have 2-3 SWF's to load--if you had more than that then you would begin to benefit from the random function's capabilities. In ActionScript 3.0 use the load() method along with addChild() to load the SWF and add it to the stage. You will be able to search for specifics on how to code the FLA properly by using Flash's Adobe Help tool and also using an internet search.
-markerline
P.S. Once you have the master FLA coded you can Publish it to an SWF and an HTML and if the container/master SWF needs to be in a page with other content you can simply copy and paste the object and embed tags for the container SWF from the published HTML into any place on your master HTML that you need it to reside. You can then use CSS to control placement of the SWF object if it is in a div tag.

How can I download two jnlp files by sequence?

Hi,
I want to download two jnlp files by sequence.
When I click a link,first download a file,finish the operation.
then download another.
How can I do this?
Thanks.

Why do you want to do this ?
I don't think that could work that way... But it is possible to reference others JNLP files inside a JNLP file.
Example in my own jnlp file:
<jar href="jte4.jar" main="true"/>
<extension name="JTDS JDBC Driver" href="jtds.jnlp"/>

How can I play many swf files back to back in AS3

I have many swf files
fileA.swf , fileB.swf, fileC.swf
I want to play them from a MainFile.swf back to back, fileA.swf , then fileB.swf then fileC.swf ...then to remove them and have the MainFile.swf only.
How is this done in AS3.
can anyone send me the code needed to do this. i don't know AS3 very well. I know how to do this in AS2 , i used to put code loadmovie in each files last frame that loaded the next file to a mc object in the mainfile.
I would apprciate to have all the code appear only in the main file without haveing to code each seperate swf file.

You should work out how to do it with just one file first in AS3. The approach to doing many sequencially would be similar to what you did in AS2... the simplest way being to add a command at the end of each swf to trigger the main file to remove it and add the next swf. I don't know of any way to detect the end of an swf... it has to tell you it's done.
In AS3 you use the Loader class to load swf and image files. You use the addChild family of methods to place things on the stage, and you use the removeChild family to get them out of the picture.
