Can button in loaded SWF file unload or close the file ?

Hi,
I am loading 2 SWF files A and B, I have a button on each.
When I press button on SWF A it loads SWF B. However I cannot get
the button to close / unload the SWF A.
Is this possible ?
To Load I am using:
Thanks,
Paul

No.I am using Loader since I dont need to pass one URL for fetching swf content.I need to get the displayobject from ByteArray which should be free from all the security issues.I heard that we cannot set 'securityDomain' property of loaderContext (using in Loader) in AIR.So please give a solution for getting bytes.

Importing swf file with skin and closed captioning problems

I created a flv file in Preimere and I pulled it into flash to create close captioning. When I publish it, it creates a swf file that I can open up on its own and it has the skin with the button to push to show the closed caption. When I try to bring that file into captivate, it doesnt bring in the skin and it just automatically shows the captions. How do I get it to bring the skin in with it?

Are you seeing this problem when you preview you project. or only after you publish it? If it is when you publish, is it in both the local version and/or in the web version?
Also, which version of Flash Catalyst? 1.0 or 5.5.?

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

Using Acrobat to create a PDF from .swf files

I'm trying to beef up a standard powerpoint presentation into something i could have more control over, and was considering Acrobat as it would (i hoped) allow me to import .swf files from Flash. In reading up on just how flexible acrobat is though, it doesn't really seem to have all of the functionality that i want - if anyone could offer feedback on the following, that would be great in terms of clearing up the queries that i have beforehand!
essentially, i want to create a PDF file which will open fulllscreen on any machine with no toolbars, windows, additional content in the window except my PDF content. So i would have a central shape/box, which would be white, on which i have text.
I want this to open centrescreen, fullscreen, with no acrobat reader branding / navigation visible at all. Similar to the way a powerpoint document would open, however - i don't want Adobe Reader to scale my PDF at all.
I've set my canvas in flash to 1024x768, and i would want Reader to display my file at exactly 1024x768 pixels, and not scale the document up to suit different monitors. So in a way, utilising something like you could with a Flash projector file where you could set the fullscreen's "allowscale" function to "false" (keeping the document at exactly 100%) and the actual fullscreen call itself to "true" (display the document in fullscreen mode, taking over your entire monitor).
Also, i would want to specify a 'background', which is simple in flash as i can just create an oversized movie clip with whatever i want to appear in the background, and this will cover any excess area in monitors that exceed my canvas size. (So i usually create a movie clip of an image or gradient for the background that measures 2600 x 1600 pixels). Will acrobat be able to render this correctly, or is it just going to display the actual canvas size and exclude my oversized 'background' movie clip? If i use my 1024 x 768 canvas, will it clip the big background movie clip to fit?
Thanks folks... bit long winded but i just wanted to make sure i've covered the bases!

Like it or not, InDesign is a color managed application, and your files are all being managed.
You'll always have less grief if the working spaces match the output, but that isn't always possible. If you want to to convert to the profiles specified in the CSF file, choose one of the "Convert to Profile" settings and select the correct profile as the destination. You'll have two options, preserve numbers, or don't preserve numbers.
Preserving numbers will cause colors to shift, but will preserve 100% K blacks. Not preseving numbers will change the numbers to give you the closes match possible in appearance, but will royally screw up your 100% K type if going to press.

Hi,
I have a similar requirement where I need to show the preview of a document in a popup.
I have a button and I added "af:fileDownloadActionListener" into the button, then I wrote the following code in my bean for the downloadactionlistener:
public void showPreviewDownloadListener(FacesContext facesContext,
java.io.OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException{
DCIteratorBinding agr = getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding("xyz");
Row row = ag.getRowSetIterator().getCurrentRow();
String fileName = (String)row.getAttribute("FileName");
String fileType = (String)row.getAttribute("FileType");
BlobDomain file = (BlobDomain)row.getAttribute("FileData");
try {
InputStream inputStream = file.getBinaryStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((count = inputStream.read(buf)) >= 0) {
outputStream.write(buf, 0, count);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
file.closeInputStream();
docPreviewInlineFrame.setSource(fileName);
//ADFUtils.setEL("#{pageFlowScope.docSource}", "../"+fileName);
ADFUtils.invokePopup(docPreviewPopup,true);
catch(IOException ioex) {
ioex.printStackTrace();
when I'm clicking my button, all it does is open a popup to view/download the while.
My own popup (with a dialog and an internalFram in it) does not get invoked at all.
Also the file that I'm referring is from DB, can anyone also suggest me how to set the source for the inline frame if the file is from DB?
Thanks in advance,

Beginner Question re: SWF files and FLA files

Hi,
Im new to flash. I have some templates (in FLA format with all supporting files...xml; html; and the swf file). When using html templates, I can modify the content easily by simply adding or changing the text <p>original text</p> to <p>steve custom text</p> and so on.
My issue is Im trying to modify the content of the fla files into a new swf file but do not know how to access the text, background or images the tempalte is currently producing. The timeline at the bottom doesnt show objects and their timelines like the basic tutorials show me.
Is there a way to access the content of of an fla file or perhaps the content of an swf file? I think the swf file is like a jpeg coverted from RAW, meaning its the end product and the source file is where the modify is done.
Am I swimming in the deep with sharks?
Thanks!

hmm..so if the template ive downloaded depicts a green ball bouncing across an orange background(swf file). The objects (green ball) and the background (simply overlay colored orange) is embedded into the FLA AS3 code?
not necessarily. they could be created with code, they could be created with the tools in the fla and they could be loaded bitmaps.
To be clear these objects (in my example: ball and background) are not external jpegs (or similar file type like png) which I can open, edit, then allow the code to access and utilize the new object. For example, change the ball into a square and changes it color to purple and then change the background to pink via PS or illstr.
In short, Im having trouble trying to find the objects which are being manipulated by the code. My current perspective with templates is to modify the image or text by accessing the files delivered with the template. If the .html commands to place image221.jpeg in certain div, I would just open the images files, find image221.jpeg, modifiy the image and then save it as image221.jpeg. Of course I can create a new image save it as steve123.jpeg, save it to the images folder and then modify the code to access the new file by using its new name.
This is what Im trying to accomplish with my flash template but cant find the source objects .
Im getting the impression this cant be done.
that's almost certainly incorrect.
My final question is then, where are source images or text or movie files stored?
noone can say without direct inspection.
Is it possible they are on third party servers on the web?
no
Are they imbedded in the code?
maybe yes, maybe no.
I can only assume if they are stored on my drives (in an external format) that I would be able to access them.
correct. more specifically, they would have to be in the directory with your embedding html and swf or a subdirectory.
If however, they are on a a third part web site or embedded into the code, then I may be in way over my head.
you can assume this is not the case.
so, open the fla in flash. click control/test. click view and make sure bandwidth profiler and streaming graph are checked. you should then be able to see the main timeline as the swf plays. note the main timeline frame where you see the object(s) you want to edit.
close the test environment and go to that main timeline frame and start sleuthing to see if the objects were created in flash. you can also click on the first object in the library and arrow down looking for the object(s) you want to edit to see if they were created without code. if you find them, note their library name and possibly linkage id or class. use movie explorer to search for those names.
but, to be sure, it can be very difficult to edit templates. i've not seen one yet that was made by a competent developer and i've worked on dozens of them.

Closing a swf file with a button

I have a flash website that opens another flash website. I
want my quit button on this new site to close the swf file and
return back to the first flash site. I know that the quit fs
command completely closes a document only if it's a projector, but
I am only using swf files. So far the only way I know how to do
this is the unload movie script on my quit button for each level
that there is a movie. This script only unloads each movie in the
scene and turns the screen the same color as the background. I
don't know how to completely close the swf player for this movie.
Its probably very simple but I am stuck on this problem right now.
Any Suggestions???

if you are navigating to another html page - then simply use
the getURL call and load the new page into the current browser
window - effectively 'closing' the previous swf.
however - another method would be to use a system wherein the
'main' html page contains a swf that is solely made for loading
'other' swf files using the MovieClipLoader class - in this way you
could simply load a new swf file into the same clip and depth as
the previous one - this will 'replace' anything that was currently
loaded at that depth.

Save as swf file using httpconnection and file io

I have one application which is fatch the swf file from web and i want to save as in same to swf file format.
when i have fatch the swf file and save as .swf format i have unable to view as flash animation in browser and micromedia.
Anyone suggest me ?

while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
content += line;
rd.close();
fw.write(content);
fw.close();

BTW sometimes flash uses communication with server to obtain some information before/during running. In such case you'll need to provide kind of your own HTTP server, pass swf to browser using HTTP protocol (not directly from HDD) then pass all additional data.
Hope this is not your case :)

Establishing a socket connection between a .swf file and a socket-test program (TCP/IP builder - Windows), in AS3.

I have an issue with a college project I'm working on.
Using Actionscript 3, I made a simple .swf program, an animated, interactive smiley, that 'reacts' to number inputs in a input-box.
For the sake of the project, I now need to make the framework for establishing a socket connection with the smiley .swf, and another program.
This is where I encounter issues. I have very little knowledge of AS3 programming, so I'm not certain how to establish the connection - what's required code-wise for it, that is.
To test the connection, I'm attempting to use the "TCP/IP builder" program from windows, which lets me set up a server socket. I need to program the .swf file into a client - to recognize it, connect to it, then be able to receive data (so that the data can then be used to have the smiley 'react' to it - like how it does now with the input-box, only 'automatically' as it gets the data rather than by manual input).
My attempts at coding it are as follows, using a tutorial (linked HERE):
//SOCKET STUFF GOES HERE
    var socket:XMLSocket;
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doConnect);
// This one connects to local, port 9001, and applies event listeners
    function doConnect(evt:MouseEvent):void
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doConnect);
    socket = new XMLSocket("127.0.0.1", 9001);
    socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect);
    socket.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);
// This traces the connection (lets us see it happened, or failed)
    function onConnect(evt:Event):void
        trace("Connected");
        socket.removeEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect);
        socket.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);
        socket.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onDataReceived);
        socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onSocketClose);
        stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUp);
    function onError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void
        trace("Connect failed");
        socket.removeEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect);
        socket.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);
        stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doConnect);
// Here, the flash tracks what keyboard button is pressed.
// If 'q' is pressed, the connection ends.
        function keyUp(evt:KeyboardEvent):void
        if (evt.keyCode == 81) // the key code for q is 81
            socket.send("exit");
        else
            socket.send(evt.keyCode);
// This one should handle the data we get from the server.
        function onDataReceived(evt:DataEvent):void
        try {
            trace("From Server:", evt.data );
        catch (e:Error) {
            trace('error');
    function onSocketClose(evt:Event):void
        trace("Connection Closed");
        stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUp);
        socket.removeEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onSocketClose);
        socket.removeEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onDataReceived);
Trying to connect to the socket gives me either no result (other than a 'connection failed' message when I click the .swf), or the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: file:///C|/Users/Marko/Desktop/Završni/Flash%20documents/Smiley%5FTCP%5FIP%5Fv4.swf cannot load data from 127.0.0.1:9001.
    at Smiley_TCP_IP_v4_fla::MainTimeline/doConnect()[Smiley_TCP_IP_v4_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:12]

Tried adding that particular integer code, ended up with either errors ("use of unspecified variable" and "implicit coercion") , or no effect whatsoever (despite tracing it).
Noticed as well that the earlier socket code had the following for byte reading:
"sock.bytesAvailable > 0" (reads any positive number)
...rather than your new:
"sock.bytesAvailable != 0" (reads any negative/positive number)
Any difference as far as stability/avoiding bugs goes?
So then, I tried something different: Have the program turn the "msg" string variable, into a "sentnumber" number variable. This seemed to work nicely, tracing a NaN for text (expected), or tracing the number of an actual number.
I also did a few alterations to the input box - it now no longer needs the 'enter' key to do the calculation, it updates the animation after any key release.
With all this considered and the requirements of the project, I now have a few goals I want to achieve for the client, in the following order of priority:
1) Have the "sentnumber" number variable be recognized by the inputbox layer, so that it puts it into the input box. So in effect, it goes: Connect -> Send data that is number (NaN's ignored) -> number put into input box -> key press on client makes animation react. I optionally might need a way to limit the number of digits that the animation reacts to (right now it uses 1-3 digit numbers, so if I get sent a huge number, it might cause issues).
- If the NaN can't be ignored (breaks the math/calculus code or some other crash), I need some way of 'restricting' the data it reads to not include NaN's that might be sent.
- Or for simplicity, should I just detect the traced "NaN" output, reacting by setting the number variable to be "0" in such cases?
2) After achieving 1), I'll need to have the process be automatic - not requiring a keyboard presses from the client, but happening instantly once the data is sent during a working connection.
- Can this be done by copying the huge amounts of math/calculus code from the inputbox layer, into the socket layer, right under where I create the "sentnumber" variable, and modifying it delicately?
3) The connection still has some usability and user issues - since the connection happens only once, on frame 1, it only connects if I already have a listening server when I run the client, and client can't re-connect if the server socket doesn't restart itself.
I believe to do this, I need to make the connection happen on demand, rather than once at the start.
For the project's requirement, I also need to allow client users to define the IP / port it's going to connect to (since the only alternative so far is editing the client in flash pro).
In other words, I need to make a "Connect" button and two textboxes (for IP and port, respectively), which do the following:
- On pressing "Connect", the button sets whatever is in the text boxes as the address of the IP and port the socket will connect to, then connects to that address without issues (or with a error message if it can't due to wrong IP/port).
- The connection needs to work for non-local addresses. Not sure if it can yet.
- On re-pressing connect, the previous socket is closed, then creates a new socket (with new IP/port, if that was altered)
It seems like making the button should be as simple as putting the existing socket code under the function of a button, but it also seems like it's going to cause issues similar to the 'looping frames' error.
4) Optional addition: Have a scrolling textbox like the AIR server has, to track what the connection is doing on-the-fly.
The end result would be a client that allows user to input IP/Port, connects on button press (optionally tracking/display what the socket is doing via scrollbox), automatically alters the smiley based on what numbers are sent whilst the connection lasts, and on subsequent button presses, makes a new connection after closing off the previous one.
Dropbox link to new client version:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ybaa8zi4i6d7u6a/Smiley_TCP_IP_v7.fla?dl=0
So, starting from 1), can I, and how can I, get the number variable recognized by "inputbox" layer's code? It keeps giving me 'unrecognized variable' errors.

Remove / unload external swf file(s) from the main flash file and load a new swf file and garbage collection from memory.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
This is the error message(s) I am receiving: "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

Andrei1,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
     loader.unload();
     loader2.unload();
     loader3.unload();
I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
     function killLoad():void{
     try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
     loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly? Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
---- Here is my updated code ----
// variable for external loaders
var loader:Loader;
var loader1:Loader;
var loader2:Loader;
var loader3:Loader;
// makes borders resize with browser size
function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
// resizes portfolio page to center
     loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
     loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
// resizes about page to center
     loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
     loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;
//adds gallery.swf to stage at begining of moviie
     Down();
//PORTFOLIO BUTTON
//adds eventlistner so that gallery.swf can be loaded
     MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
function Down(event:MouseEvent = null):void {

Links missing in SWF file

For some reason our linked areas don't appear in our swf
flash file when viewed with computers that don't have the JAVA
update. When these computers are updated, the linked areas
suddently appear. Anyone know why? Is there a way to avoid this?
I was assuming that Flash files only need flash plugins to be
viewed in a browser.

I think you need to add your local foloder to trust location of adobe security panel, try following steps:
1. Open the swf.
2. Right click and select Settings... and Adobe Flash Player Settings pops up.
3. Click Advanced... and a new IE page opens (Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Security Settings Panel). Close the swf.
4. On the left of the Adobe page, select Globel Security Settings Panel to open the panel.
5. In the panel at right of page, select Always allow and add your local foloder which stores the swf file to the location box below.
6. Close the page.
7. re-open the swf and refresh the QaaWS connections.
Now the BOE login dialog should be poped up.

Thanks Kglad, it all worked fine but can you help me in this.

\     if(_sound.bytesLoaded<_sound.bytesTotal){
          _sound.close()
     if (_chanel){
          _chanel.stop()

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers
Ed
(Im in Patagonia - documentary photographer...sorting a good site helps me secure sponsorship and future exhibition venues. Your help is appreciated!

Alancito
Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Select entities in a swf file and pass back to html page

Hi,
I am new to flash. I got a dwg file converted into swf file. Now I want this swf file to embed in html page. No issue with that.
The tricky part for me is to let the user select the entites of the file such as line/circle as one might select in autocad. After entity selection the swf file (by any means) pass the selected entity information back to the html page ( to the javascript function).
Is this feasible?
I have no clue Please give direction.

Thanks Tim.
I could solve the problem using javascript.
I have used the following javascript.
<script>
function test(){
var radioLength = document.wwv_flow.p_v01.length;
var retVal = '';
if(radioLength == undefined)
          if(document.wwv_flow.p_v01.checked)
               retVal = document.wwv_flow.p_v01.value;
          else
               return "";
     for(var i = 0; i < radioLength; i++) {
          if(document.wwv_flow.p_v01.checked) {
               retVal = retVal + ';' +document.wwv_flow.p_v01[i].value;
retVal = retVal.substring(1, retVal.length);
opener.document.getElementById('P1_TEST').value = retVal;
window.close();
</script>
Now the problem is solved!!
Thanks,
Archana
