Displaying SWF files in sequence

Hi,
I am quite new to Flash and am creating my first website.
I currently have 3 SWF pages which I want to link together.
these pages are "Home_Page", "Portfolio" and "Portfolio_outro".
At the moment, when you click a button in "Home_Page" you are
taken to "Portfolio".
There is a button in "Portfolio" which when clicked I want to
take the user back to the "Home_Page", but in order for the
animation to work correctly, I want the "Portfolio_outro" page to
display first!
This means that in the action script for this home button, I
need to somehow ask that when it is released, first one movie is
played, then another. My current script for this looks like this:
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
loadMovieNum("Home_Page.swf",this);
} else {
this.loadMovie("Home_Page.swf");
//End Behavior
//load Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
loadMovieNum("Portfolio_outro.swf",this);
} else {
this.loadMovie("Portfolio_outro.swf");
//End Behavior
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY THIS ISN'T WORKING AND WHAT I NEED TO
GET ONE MOVIE TO PLAY AFTER THE OTHER UPON PRESSING THIS BUTTON.
THANKS A MILLION,
LIAM

there are so many problems with that code it's not possible
to see how it could work. just for starters how could it ever occur
that your if(this==Number(this)) statement would resolve to
true?

How to create an xml to load swf files in sequence?

hello everyone
I'm new in web design... I know how to animate in flash, using timeline, frames, layers, twins and so on... But I want to move forward so I want to create a xml to load swf files in sequence and in loop. Each swf file has 8 seconds.You can see the example here in www.cm-seixal.pt.
I'm not a programmer but I understand how actionscript works... I hope you can help me
Cheers!
Ana

you can use the urlloader class to load your xml file. use the loader's complete event and the loader's data property to retrieve the data in your xml file.

How to display swf Files and have a datagrid with paging for javaFX

is there any example of javaFX which can display swf files or have a datagrid with paging.
sorry for my bad english and by the way i am new to javaFX
any help wil be appreciate

Please, refrain from posting identical messages in several forums. Thanks.
And I doubt JavaFX can display SWF files (it is a concurrent technology, after all! :-)), unless using some JNI/JNA technology (via JDIC? a long way...).
Datagrid: it is expected in next version (hopefully), there are some implementations around (look for CRUDfx, for example).

To Display SWF file or Flash file in Web Page Composer (WPC)

Hi,
I am goning to add & display 'swf file or flash file' in <b>Web Page Composer</b>.
But it is not allowing me to do so.I tried by three ways
1} to upload this file directly from local machine & to add in WPC
2}By using linklist option
3}By creating KM Document iview;which contain swf file.& then adding that iview in wpc.
but at last it is not displaying though allowing to add it in WPC.

Vishal -
First... we are all new to WPC!
Second, no I don't think you need to create a new container. I think that you just need to add the swf type as an allowed type for the container.
So...
Figure out which container you are trying to add the flash file to (as you mentioned, A1, A2, etc).
Navigate to:
Sys Admin --> Sys Config --> Knowledge Mgt --> Content Mgt --> WPC --> Containers.
Edit the container you want to use.
There will be a box named Allowed Mime Types.
In here, select the "swf" mime type (make sure the check box is checked). Then Save.
At my company, we had the WPC ramp up from SP12, and are now on SP13.
I'm not sure what you get if the first time you had WPC is SP13, but for us I see two default A1 (and A2...B1..C4...etc) containers -- one that has "default" in the name and one that has "def" in the name. From what I see, SP13 WPC uses the one with "def" in the name, not "default". So, make sure you modify the one with "def" in the name.
After you make this change, you should see "swf" in the list inside the container when you are editing a page.
Is this clearer? I wish I could attach a screenshot.

Loading a sequence of swf files in one main swf

Can someone help me with this?
I'm using this loadMovie actionscript to load a swf file, but
I want to load mutiple swf files in sequence. Should I just repeat
the actionscript?
Something like this?
loadMovie("filename1.swf", 1);
loadMovie("filename2.swf", 1);
loadMovie("filename3.swf", 1);

just take three diff blank movie clip like a,b,c
and place it properly where you want to load swf and write
loadMovie("filename1.swf", "a");
loadMovie("filename2.swf", "b");
loadMovie("filename3.swf", "c");

Firefox not displaying swfs with their proper dimensions

Some instances of Firefox are not displaying swf files with their proper dimensions. When the same .html and .swf combo is loaded on another domain, different dimensions are displayed. I'm not using swfobject or any other DOM manipulator to get the swf on the page. I'm using the standard wrapper that Flex generates with object/embed tags.
The dimensions are 950x700. I wonder if the large size is part of the problem. I'm not going for any full screen effect.
I've tested with and without css declarations. I've tried using swfobject. I've created a brand new project empty project and when I publish that, the dimensions are still off.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.webwebwebsite.com/badfit/BadFit.html

That image doesn't seem to be working in Firefox 3 and 8 (works in Firefox 9 and later).
It works if I save it as 24 bit instead of 32 bit.

How to stream .swf file?

By using playMedia, I can display .mov and .dat file by Quicktime. Could you give me any info about what to do in order to display .swf file? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I understand this is quite old topic but the question is actual for a lot of developers.
The problem is that Flash ActiveX doesn't contain a method that plays movie from any source except file path or URL.
So there are two approaches are possible:
1. Emulate file by creating a fake file that provides data from your array. You may BoxedApp SDK for that, look here: BoxedApp SDK Features
2. Use special .net component that provides this feature: http://f-in-box.com/dotnet/
Hope this helps.

Is there any way to display a pdf inside of a swf file?

Are there any software that will convert Word documents or pdf into swf files that ca be displayed inside of a Flash movie. Currently, I am using FlashPaper but the software is not supported anymore by Adobe. I am creating eLearning courses and having a pdf open inside of a course without opening multiple makes for a better learning experience. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

.swf files not displaying all of a sudden!

Hi all
currently working on a new website for my design company and
have hit an unexpected - and very annoying - problem!
my portfolio graphics are all vector illustrations - I export
them from there as a .swf file - dump them into dreamweaver - and
away we go. all has been going fine - my portfolio covers 4 pages -
first two have worked fine - the final two simply will not display
when previewed in browser - or uploaded via ftp to a site area.
the graphics have all been created in similar ways - the
export functions for .swf have not been altered in any way at all -
but still not displaying. when i open up flash player to preview
the file - again blank - when i do the same with the first two .swf
files, no issues!!
I have recreated the html files to see if that was the issue
... to no avail.
I also dumped the swfs into the 2 html files that are working
fine - still no luck.
tis driving me mad - any ideas guys??? as i said - they are
just vector logos as with the first two pages so not sure what on
earth is happening!
incase this helps with any ideas....
this page as you can see works fine:
http://www.justsoho.com.au/test_portfolio.html
this one doesn't! :
http://www.justsoho.com.au/test_portfolio_02.html
hoping someone can shed some light on this!

SWF files not displaying in browsers

Just installed CS6 Web and Design Premium on 27" iMac with OS X 10.7.4. SWF files from Flash 5/Dreamweaver 5 display fine in all web browsers, but Flash CS6 (ActionScript 3.) SWF files result in the message - "Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation..." I set the root folder of the web site I am working on as a Trusted Location Settings in my System Preferences and restarted, but no luck. What am I missing? Many thanks to anyone who knows what the issue is.

For some darn reason, DW or swfobject thinks that there is a Flash player version 15.... and there ain't! ... at least as far as I know.
Back the version down to the lowest that will work, version 10 if possible... that will avoid most of the "Update Flash" warnings.
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
Change this in both places to version 10 and test again

Display a .swf file in the Gallery example

Is it possible to display a .swf file instead of a .jpeg in
the Gallery example? Any help would be appreciated.

You "CAN" do it, but it would probably be kind of clunky. A
detailed region rewrites the code and in theory you should be able
to write in a new SWF. I don't mean, write in a new "location" but
re-write out the entire tag.
Hope this helps.

Spreadsheet component - bottom grid line not displaying in swf file

Hi,
I'm having an issue with the spreadsheet component. I'm using the "Ignore blank cells in Values" option on the behavior tab. This works fine. The problem I'm having is the bottom grid line in the spreadsheet table is not displaying in the swf file. The bottom grid line displays correctly in Preview mode....but is not displaying in the swf file. Anyone have any ideas on why?
Thanks

I'm not sure if I've interpreted your response correctly. Our entire dashboard app is built on the swf files being called from the URL buttons. We are not using HTML files. Are you saying that if I do a file export to HTML that the swf file generated from this will display the bottom grid lines?
I noticed that the spreadsheet component grid lines display correctly in the swf when not checking the ignore blank cells option in the behavior tab.
So what would be our options here.....either uncheck the display grid lines for the spreadsheet component to not display the grid lines at all, or do not use the ignore blank cells option in the behavior tab to display a fixed number of rows each time?
Thanks for the response, Matt.

Get the ipad to display my photos in file name sequence

How can I get the ipad to display my photos in file name sequence instead of by time/date stamp? I want to display them in a particular sequence controlled by the filename I gave them.

Hey Tex,
Good idea. I've found a question that indicates that the ipad sorts by name (https://discussions.apple.com/message/9116248#9116248). Mine are all sorted by date/time. How did they do that?
The app you suggested looks promising, but it sounds like i have to manually rearrange my pictures, and since i have hundreds in each folder, this would be tedious. Is there an app that will allow me to display them by filename w/o me having to rearrange them myself??
Thanks.
WSC
