Accessing resources in another swf

I am developing a web site in Flash. It consists of a number
of swf "pages". I find that I am using the same font regularly and
am having to embed it into each page.
Is it possible to embed it into only one "base" page and then
use the font in other pages which are loaded into it ?
If so, how do I go about achieving this ?
Hope someone will be able and willing to help me with this.
Simon

I have started investigating the use of Font symbols.
What I find is that, if I do not create a textfield on the
stage at design time, any textfields created at runtime will not be
able to use the font symbol.
I am using Flash 8.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get round this - that
is, only use the font in textfields created at runtime?

How to remove admin permissions AD DS when admin from one forests access resources in another forest?

Hello Community
    A forestA and
a forestB exists on the network.
    In forestA, active directory has an administrator.
    In forestB, activre directory also has an administrator.
    There is a trust reletionship between the 2 forests.
    When the administrator for forestA accesses resources
in forestB, how can I make sure that the administrator in
forestA does not have administrative permissions in foresB?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

They do not have access by default unless if you delegate that to them. For high secure environments, you might consider implementing a Selective Authentication: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755844(v=ws.10).aspx

Accessing Resources on another Server

Hi There,
I'm developing a project for a client where they have stated
the audio, images, video, and flash content will be stored on a
different server (with a different url) than where the Captivate
content package will be stored.
So the SWF file and all the LMS goodness is stored on local
PC A
All the audio, images, video, and flash is stored on Server B
I'm having trouble trying to figure out how I can put any of
the content from Server B into my Captivate file on local PC A. I
tried typing the URL to an image file when adding an image object
on a slide. It appears to download the file to the local PC's cache
then insert it on the slide. This is a problem, because what if the
image on Server B is updated? If I try to update the image in the
library, it will look at local PC A's cache, and not Server B.
I realize I could create a Flash file and insert into
Captivate to load the content from Server B, but the size of the
project (350 slides, broken into server files) makes me hopeful I
can link to content on Server B instead?
Anyone know a method to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Scottie

If I understand you correctly Scottie, what your client is
asking cannot be done. Dynamic updating of SWF content (objects)
isn't possible. The horror of custom development is that the client
can be as outrageous as he wishes, and unless the developer heads
it off in the "talking and planning" stage, the project is doomed
to failure before it begins.
Having said that, I'll back out of here to see if someone can
prove me wrong. If so, I am as interested as you are in how it
might be accomplished. Have a good day!

Error when opening swf from another swf

Hi all,
I'll try to explain this as good as possible.... I made a maze game that works perfectly when I run it by clicking on it's own .swf file, but when I try to access it from another .swf file which is a menu for the games I created, it does not work.
I have absolutely no idea where to look for the error, so my question is: can it be that the main.swf (which is the menu for games) could be the problem, or the problem must be in the maze.swf?
Thanx in advance!

no, all code is in the first frame of actions layer:

Accessing Shared Resources of another computer

Hi,
Im migrating a program in visual basic to java. I need help on a class or functions that views shared resources on another computer just like as windows command "net view".
Someone told me to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("net view PC"); But I need it also to run in linux and I don't want it to be OS dependent. Is there any existing API for this?
Thanks,
valcaro

Again you can not use a 'shared' resource if you do not have access from the other box.
It doesn't matter what you do in java - it just will not work.
In the same way you can't talk to another computer if there is no link (network) between them.
So do you have that access in the first place?
Windows file sharing is possible from linux. The easiest way to do it is to set it up on the box as an admin. And there are a number of complications with that and I seriously doubt that it is viable to do that via a java app.
If you just want to communicate then do so. And file access is easily done with FTP.
I suppose that you could, yourself, replicate the interface that windows uses for file sharing. It would take a lot of work with an a minimum a very good understanding of how windows does it and which would require you to learn with packet sniffing (since I seriously doubt this is documented.) You could tear apart one of the linux solutions that implement it as well. But regardless a lot of work.

I need to access/pass variables'(s) of a .swf file into another .swf file.

Hi all,
I have basic knowledge of Flash and AS3.0.
Suppose i have a flash swf file(main.swf). In this main.swf
file, i loaded another swf file(sub.swf) by writing the following
code snippet in main.swf file as shown in Attach Code:
Now, how to acess the data present in main.swf into sub.swf.
Note: Here data represents values/data stored in
variables/objects of main.swf file.

Does this actually work -- assigning variables directly on the loader? I'm interested in setting flash variables on the loaded SWF, but I get a compilation error when trying something similar:
Error: Access of possibly undefined property x through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.
[exec]
[exec] textLdr.x = 50;
I also tried casting the loader to Object, which compiles but then fails at runtime.

Authorization decision based on property of accessed resource?

Hi everyone!
Is it possible to base the decision of a policy service in AM based on a property of the accessed resource? I can specify the method and the resource name, but can I also specify a property of the resource, maybe using some plugin for AM? For example a doctor should only be allowed access to a patient's file if it's his patient, and the patient has a property naming the doctor in charge.
And another question: How can I take things such as time into account of an authorization decision? I don't want to code this in the application. The application should only ask: May $Subject access $Resource using $Method? Everything else (time, role of subject etc) should be definable on the PDP.
Thanks for comments!
Chris
PS Actually I'd need a PDP which can handle policies as powerful as those definable using XACML combined with the authentication capabilities of AM.

Found it! First, of course, there are conditions which already cover simple cases. For more elaborate authorization one can add new conditions by extending a java interface, as described here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4675/6n6qfk0o3?a=view
By writing a new xml-document you can add a new policy service with arbitrary methods. The process is described in the manual or here:

When I close Photoshop CS6, the following message appears: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

When I quit Photoshop CS6, the following message appears:
" Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file.

I have checked the Sharing and Permissions section of the "Get Info" panel accessed from the Finder and I have set Read and Write Privileges for my user account for Photoshop CS6. System and Admin are also set to Read and Write.
I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.9.5 and have all available updates for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5 and Bridge CS6.

Can you help?

Unable to load external swf which has runtime sharing with another swf.

Hi,
I am getting issues on loading external swf say "importer.swf" file into another swf file say "loader.swf" for second time like
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable testSymbol is not defined. VerifyError: Error #1014: Class testClass could not be found.
at global$init()
In the external swf "importer.swf", i am trying to import the symbol "testSymbol" from another swf file say "exporter.swf", which exports through runtime sharing option for the symbols.
I am having some buttons in loader.swf file and on each button click i am loading different swf files into the loader.swf after unloading the previous one.
I am able to load and unload different swf files but unable to load the importer.swf file which is sharing symbols from external swf and that too for the second time i.e., when i click the button twice.
When trying to debug with flash debugger, all the other swf files are being unloaded before loading of another swf but the swf which is sharing symbols/classes with another swf is not getting unloaded.
Output when i am trying to load two files example and importer files into loader.swf file on two different button clicks. On first button click example.swf is loaded. On second button click , example.swf is unloaded and importer.swf is loaded which is successful. On first button click again importer.swf is unloaded and example.swf is loaded. On second button click again, example.swf is unloaded and importer.swf is loaded, here i am getting issues shown above.

Textbox shows xml text in working file but now when loaded into another SWF

Hi all,
I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file. When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.
This seems the key line -
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number];
I have also tried
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number].firstChild;
This traces out the correct xml data when tested so it is finding it okay.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The problem might be in the use of the "_root" You probably need to set _lockroot = true; in the loaded swf, otherwise the _root is that of the loading swf, not the loaded one.

Unable to Access Resource Error in AE CS6

Hello,
I'm running After Effects CS6 11.0 on MAC OSX and everytime I attempt to apply text, either by creating a new text layer from the drop down menu or dragging open a text box I get
"Unable to Access Resource P_TextSmallCaps_Sm_N_D (type png)"
Is this a png file missing from the program, a fixable bug or what?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, reinstall the program. Something is damaged.
