Does [Embed(source="assetname")] work in Flash or just Flex?

Does [Embed(source="assetname")] work in Flash or just Flex?
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. But that sucks. When I import a mp3 file into the flash library there is a slight delay when it loops. But if I bring in a AIFF file into the library and let Flash encode it then there is no delay. I was hoping to not have to have Flash encode my music loops every time I test my game. Many game sites don't want external assets, everything has to be in one swf. I could load external swfs with linked music loops, but like I said, most game sites want everything in one swf. I wish Adobe would either fix this very old loop bug or allow the flash IDE to use Embed : (

Does anybody have cubemapping working on Flash 11 RC1?

Hi
I have posted another topic on CubeMapping / Cube Textures here on the forum, but unfortunattely have had no replies as yet, so I wanted to ask a slightly broader question.
Does anyone have a correctly functioning Stage3D application (in the latest Flash 11 RC1), that performs environment mapping using Cube Textures, and the cubemapping texture sampler?
Of course it is entirely possible that we have a bug in our code - but the code worked correctly prior to Beta 2 of Flash 11. I have also looked at other code I have found online, and it seems to exhibit the same problems.
So if anybody has it working, I would be very grateful if you would let me know -
Best Regards
Matt Taylor

Hi
I've got a demo using Cube Textures working on my machine now - so clearly the error is in my code (Shocking, I know! )
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Does the new iPad work with adobe flash?

Does the new Ipad work with a version of adobe flash? I have read several articles, and I'm just more confused than when I started! I'm a newer Mac user, and I'm interested in the new iPad, but I don't know if I want it if it doesn't support internet pages that use adobe flash. Thanks for your help!!

Adobe eliminated its "mobile Flash" department. Android, Mobile Windows, IOS, WebOS ... everyone is out of luck.

[Embed(source="...   And dispatching events and trace commands not working

Hi,
I have a main swf that Embeds another swf. In the embedded (child) swf I have trace commands and it dispatches events.
I embed the child swf like this:
[Embed(source="../assets/child.swf", symbol="ChildMC")]
public var ChildMC:Class;
var child_mc = new ChildMC();
child_mc.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, childComplete);
addChild(child_mc);
function childComplete(event:Event):void
at the end of the timeline in the child swf I have: dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
When I test the main swf, I can see the child swf, but the main swf can't catch any of the dispatched events and I don't get any trace commands from the child swf.
How can I catch events from an embedded swf?
thanks!

I did a quick sample with two fla's.
The first loads in a child swf and then calls a funtion on the main timeline:
var url:String = "loadTestChild.swf";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loader_complete);
loader.load(urlRequest);
addChild(loader);
function loader_complete(evt:Event):void {
   evt.currentTarget.content.callMeFromParent();
The child swf has this code on the main timeline:
function callMeFromParent ():void {
          trace ("called from parent whoop");
Running the parent, the trace is called.
So with this you should be able to call any function you have in the child from the parent.

Sound not working in Flash Builder. Help please.

So, here's my situation. I keep trying to put an mp3 in Flash Builder to try and make sounds happen, but each time I do it only plays the beginning of it and stops midway through. My music is working at 44100 Hz with a 32 bit rate (tried changing it to 16, but Audition won't let me). Here's my code.
package
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import flash.events.Event;
          import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
          import flash.media.Sound;

                              if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
                                        _tryChannel = _try.play();
I'm not sure what the issue is. Please help me. Thank you!

I would say that either the OP needs two tabs somewhere to make his headings and line items align,Exactly what I was thinking. As this sample code illustrates, the b will not line up under Column#2. Perhpas OP needs to use a Formatter or the printf method instead.
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    sb.append("Column#1");
    sb.append("\tColumn#2\n");
    sb.append("a");
    sb.append("\t");
    sb.append("b");
    System.out.println(sb);

Flex mobile 4.6 app works inside flash builder but not in android emulator

Originally posted on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8663892/flex-mobile-4-6-app-works-inside-flash-builder- but-not-in-android-emulator
I have a basic flex mobile 4.6 app and it works fully fine in the flash builder built-in emulator using an android device profile like aria...
It also launches fine in the android emulator but one particular view shows blank (and this view works fine in flash builder).
Before I get in to many details of the view are there any categorical gotchas that can be causing this?
I can't seem to get the trace statements from the app to show in 'adb logcat'. It seems I need to compile a debug version of the apk but I don't know how to do this. I use the 'Export Release Build' from the Project menu in flash builder and it doesn't seem to have an option for debug=true.
The problematic/blank view basically uses the stagewebview and iotashan's oauth library to call linkedin rest apis... A different (and working) view can make restful web service calls in the emulator fine, so it doesn't seem to be an internet permission.
The source code contained in the problematic/blank view is almost identical to the tutorial found at:http://www.riagora.com/2011/01/air-and-linkedin/
The differences are: a) The root tag is a View b) I use StageWebView instead of HtmlContainer c) I use my own linkedin key and tokens.
I would appreciate it if someone can provide me with some pointers on how to troubleshoot this situation. Perhaps someone can tell me how to debug the app while running in the emulator (I think I need the correct adt command arguments for this which matches the 'Export Release Build' menu but adds the debug param?)
Thanks for your help in advance.
Comment Added:
I suspect that this has to do with connections to https:// api.linkedin.com and https:// www.linkedin.com. The only reason I can think of that the same code is not having issues inside of Flex Builder but indeed having issues in the Android emulator is something to do with certificates. Any ideas?

Thanks er453r,
I have created a project that clearly reproduces the bug. Here are the steps:
1) Create a UrlLoader and point it to https://www.google.com (HTTPS is important because http works but HTTPS does not)
2) Load it
3) Run in Flash Builder 4.6/Air 3.1 and then run in Android emulator. The former works with an http status 200. The latter gives you an ioerror 2032. I am assuming what works in Flash Builder is supposed to work in the Android Emulator and what what works in the emulator is supposed to work in a physical device (plus or minus boundary conditions).
I see a certificate exception in adb logcat but not sure if it's related...

Embed + compiler define works different with air 3.7+ comparing to 3.5

Hello.
I've noticed that new compiler works differently when using construct Embed with conditional compilation (comoiler define option).
It looks like new compiler always embeds files in output swf even if Embed construct is used in dead code. Here is full example:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main extends MovieClip {
    CONFIG::FOO {
      [Embed(source="foo.mp3")]
      public static var MusicTrack: Class;
    CONFIG::BAR {
      [Embed(source="bar.mp3")]
      public static var MusicTrack: Class;
I have 2 files: foo.mp3 (~2MB) and bar.mp3 (~2.3MB). I want to embed only one of them defining CONFIG::FOO as true and CONFIG::BAR as false.
When I compile it using AIR 3.5 with following command I get (as expected) file with size ~2.0MB:
/opt/adobe_sdks/flex_sdk_4.6_AIR_3.5/bin/mxmlc -compiler.source-path . -swf-version 14 -define=CONFIG::FOO,true -define=CONFIG::BAR,false -o Main.swf -- Main.as
/private/tmp/bug/Main.swf (2030814 bytes)
But when I use newer AIR sdk (I tried with 3.7, 3.8 and 4.0 beta) I'm getting file with size ~4.3MB.
/opt/adobe_sdks/AIR_4.0/bin/mxmlc -compiler.source-path . -swf-version 14 -define=CONFIG::FOO,true -define=CONFIG::BAR,false -o Main.swf -- Main.as
4328386 bytes written to /private/tmp/bug/Main.swf in 9,634 seconds
Is it expected behaviour? Is there any chance that new compiler will work in this case the same as older one?

Another difference I encountered is that using compiler definition directly in Embed construction doesn't work. Here is example:
public class Assets {
[Embed(source=CONFIG::MUSIC_MP3_PATH)]
public static var MusicTrack: Class;
Then I pass option to the compiler:
-define=CONFIG::MUSIC_MP3_PATH,"'sfx/music.mp3'"
With AIR 3.5 SDK it works fine. With AIR 3.7, 3.8 and 4.0 beta I'm getting file which is smaller in size (by mp3 file size) and when running I get error: TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor. (when it tries to create new instance of MusicTrack).

Create a worker in flash IDE?

I'm trying to generate a worker swf from Flash CC.
When I try to compile it using AIR 13 for android :
var wtm:MessageChannel = Worker.current.getSharedProperty("wtm");
wtm.send('test');
at runtime::ContentPlayer/loadInitialContent()
          at runtime::ContentPlayer/playRawContent()
          at runtime::ContentPlayer/playContent()
          at runtime::AppRunner/run()
          at ADLAppEntry/run()
          at global/runtime::ADLEntry()
Is there a way to publish a worker swf from the IDE ?

You send along some code but no FLAs (as you indicated) hehe. Here, this is a quick Main and BackWorker setup that merely inits a worker and send()s messages back and forth from the worker to main and main to worker. It works just fine in Flash CC. I'm targeting FP13:

Will BlazeDS work with Flash (not Flex or AIR)?

Does anyone know if Blaze can work with Flash(not flex or AIR)?
If so, how? Any examples?
Thanks,
James

Hallo Russell, I'm a beginner with Flex and Flash, and I already succeeded calling the remote object with Flex. But my company requires me to use Flash (AS3). So, could you please give me an example of ActionScript code to call a RemoteObject in BlazeDs? The url? and call string? I also use Spring behind. I tried to use the url: "http://localhost:8080/myAppName" and then the call string is "myService.getList" myService is the destination in the service-config.xml getList is the method from the remote object which is a Java class. Here is the snippet from remoting-config <destination id="clasificationService"> <properties> <factory>spring</factory> <source>clasificationManager</source> </properties> </destination> and Here is the snippet from services-config:  <factories> <factory id="spring" class="com.airbus.cm.cd.controller.SpringFactory" /> </factories> <channels> <channel-definition id="channel-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel"> <endpoint url="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint" /> <properties> <polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled> </properties> </channel-definition> <channel-definition id="my-secure-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel"> <endpoint url="https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfsecure" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/> <properties> <add-no-cache-headers>false</add-no-cache-headers> </properties> </channel-definition> <channel-definition id="my-polling-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel"> <endpoint url="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfpolling" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> <properties> <polling-enabled>true</polling-enabled> <polling-interval-seconds>4</polling-interval-seconds> </properties> </channel-definition> </channels> Best regards, Raymond.

C-level extensibility doesn't work in Flash Pro CC

It is now impossible to create a native C/C++ library and export C functions that can be used by Flash commands for instance. The sample C-level extensibility project "SampleDll" now does not work in Flash Pro CC as well:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/extend/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9024f3f-7783CS5.h tml
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/flash/flash-pro-samples.zip
When Flash Pro CC is installed the "<user_home_dir>/AppData/Local/Adobe/Flash CC/<language_code>/Configuration/External Libraries" already contains a dll that exports the MM_Init and MM_Terminate, so presumably the C-level extensibility is still available, but its probable new usage might not be yet documented.

First off, http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/samples/Flash_ActionScript3.0 _samples.zip doesn't contain a single dll or a C-source file. I've checked this zip file even before you've wrote your answer since the page http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/samples.html states:
flash-pro-samples.zip (ZIP, 9 MB)
Note: ActionScript 3 versions of the ActionScript 2 samples in this ZIP are available above in Flash_ActionScript3.0_Samples.zip.
As it is stated here, there are only ActionScript samples in the new zip archive and no C-extensibility API ones.
Thanks for the tip that I should build a 64-bit binary.

[EMBED (source="????")] - using dynamic source?

dynamic button skinning - I can't believe I've spent so long trying to do this..............
I have my spark Button loading an icon using the embed metadata tag:
[Embed(source=("icon1.png"))]
private var _icon:Class;
yay - that works!!!
However, I'm not entirely sure how to get the embed tag to recognise my file reference as a dynamic/concatenated string:
var myFilePath:String = imgPath+"icon"+varNum+".png";
[Embed(source=myFilePath)]
private var _icon:Class;
That doesn't work:
'myFilePath' does not have a recognized extension, and a mimeType was not provided IconButton.as /Copy of IconButtonDemo/src line 22 Flex Problem
Unable to transcode myFilePath. IconButton.as /Copy of IconButtonDemo/src line 22 Flex Problem
How does one go about creating that file reference for the embed tag to read properly??? I'm going to need it, so I can build the file path from dynamic data and looping, etc.
As always, thanks in advance... I'm learning alot from reading here today.

Ah.... so the EMBED tag is for compile time only... not runtime loading....
Despite this, I'd still like to know if it's possible to concatenate the embed source.
Also, is there also any way to get an asset into a button component dynamically at runtime?

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,

I can't open my iPod library in iTunes, the app doesn't show the device at all, no error message, nothing, but windows 8 opens it like it would a flash drive. It has worked for me before just fine and both have the most updated software versions.

Does [Embed(source="assetname")] work in Flash or just Flex?
