Embed Flash Animation Inside Flash Website

Hello,
I have created a flash website and I want my features button
to load and play a features movie (or animation) when it is
clicked. I know how to actionscript already and add buttons and
event listeners. My main objective is to avoid adding the features
movie into the flash website's timeline because i think it will
greatly increase the file size and therefore loading time of the
site. Since the features movie is passive and only needed when the
user clicks the features button, it should be stored in a separate
file or timeline so that it doesn't load with the main website. The
feature movie should only be loaded and played when the user click
the feature button. Is there any way to do this with flash or am I
stuck working in the website's timeline and using stop() and
gotoAndPlay() in actionscript?
Thanks

Has anyone managed to embed flash content within there responsive HTML5 website?

Has anyone managed to embed flash content within there responsive HTML5 website? I'm aiming to get my client gallery Flash based but don't want to sacrifice my responsive HTML5 layout to achieve this.
I feel the Flash gallery would be more secure than my current option,
Thanks in advance

It dawned on me what the problem was, in my Actionscript, I am using a XML sheet to call the pictures in the gallery. The XML sheet is located in the same folder as the actionscript, but not in the same folder as the html page, hence the Flash working when it is directly called but not when it is somewhere else. Once this dawned on me, I remembered that I used "short" urls for the images thinking of them all being in the same folder as the actionscript, but not thinking about their relative link from the location of the HTML page. So, I believe that if I change the relative urls to fit the location of the HTML instead of the location of the SWF page, it should work.

Embed flash video on website...

About a month ago, I asked for a code to embed a flash video
on my website, but now I am stuck. I was told to convert the videos
to .FLV, which is fine. I can do that, BUT in the coding, I am
confused because the 'file name' in the code ends with .swf. I am
SO lost because if the video is converted to .flv how would it work
if the name in the code ended with .swf? I am VERY new at flash,
and beyond converting the videos to .flv, I'm lost.
Also, if I can figure this out, would I need to add any other
details to make sure the code works in both IE and firefox?

Thank you!!!

You will need to use the following <object> code for IE
and <embed> code for
Mozilla browsers. Replace "your_video_file.swf" with your
actual file name
in both places.

Problems uploading Flash website

I'm trying to upload my Flash website. I inserted my index.fla file in Dreamweaver and saved it as an html. I then uploaded the html on the FTP and now the website is showing up blank. Where did I go wrong?

Hi,
Make sure you embed your swf on your html page and upload both. The fla (original Adobe Flash file) don't need to be uploaded on your server. To upload your html page, you can use Dreamweaver buit-in FTP or your favorite one. Make sure your target audience has the right flash player or your animation won't play.
Hope this help !

How do I use Brige Web Gallery in a Flash website

Adding payPal shopping cart to a Flash website?

Hi there,
I'm a newbie, creating my first flash website and my first shopping cart, so be easy on me.
I've done a lot of research, however was unable to find any tutorials on how to set up a Paypal shopping cart or any other secured shopping cart in a website that was created in Flash professional CS5, actionscript 3.0. Paypal's tutorial is only for html (copy/paste the code in your html website and voila) but how to integrate shopping cart in Flash website? Any help would be appreciated.
This is my first time setting up a cart on a website. I have a "shop" button on my site (see picture below) that I would like linked to an external page preferably with my items that I would like to sale. Not sure if paypal's shopping cart can do what I want it to do. Once the user clicks on the "Shop" button, I'd like for my customer to be able to see a picture of the items I have for sale, price for each item, a box where the buyer can write quantity of item desired, add to cart button and then check out button. With paypal shopping cart, can I add pictures beside each item I am selling when entering the price on paypal's website or I have to add the pictures of the items I am selling directly in my shop section of my website and add a buy now button for each individual item and then copy/paste the email link provided by Paypal to each of my buy now buttons and add that code to my "Actions" layer within Flash? How would the script look like? And what if later on I want to add additional info to an item, change price or delete it completely...would I have to make the changes everytime within paypal only or I'd have to make the changes on both paypal and my flash file and upload new copy to server? I'd like for my cart to integrate with my site (keep the same look and feel, same layout/background color) preferably but what ever way is the easiest. Thanks for your help.

Any source that provides embed code to add to your webpage should work. So in other words if E-Junkie provides the HTML code that you simply embed in your own code it will work. If it requires a certain plugin be installed it may or may not.

How do I create a hyperlink to a specific section of a flash website?

Ok, I have no experience coding in flash, I just want to
create links to specific parts of a flash website (website that
were created by other people, not that I am building). In other
words, I just want to create the hyperlink that will open a certain
section of the website - I'm not developing the site and I don't
want to create links inside the site. Is there any way to do this?
For example:
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/
is the flash site I want to link to. Wherever I navigate in
the site, the address never changes in my browser. But I know it is
possible to get a URL to a specific flash page, because I have seen
some of the web admins post them.
For example:
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/?section=2&sub=5
which opens a very specific section of the site. So is there
anyway for me, an average computer user with no experience in flash
coding, to get a hyperlink to open a certain section of a flash
site, or at the least get my browser to display the specific URL
(that is, the "?section=2&sub=5" part of the address). I use
firefox, but am willing to try anything or any browser at this
point.
Thanks!

My Flash sites use a section and subSection structure, and
within the site I use the numbers to display specific areas. But
it's done internally. I have no code that looks at a query string
attached to the URL so supplying the numbers to my sites will have
no effect. The example you give clearly does read parameters passed
in a query string so if you know the correct numbers (and the param
names eg 'section') then you can do it.

Advice needed for beginner to Flash website building

Help!
I have zero knowledge about using Flash. I am being asked by my boss to build a flash web site for our music and video game stores. I built our old site in Dreamweaver.
Does anyone have advice on where i should start? A suggested book that will walk me through beginning to end. I've worked through a few tutiorials but I feel lost as far at the time line and actions.
Any expert advice is appreciated. I need to get started in the next month. I'd like to build it myself instead of outsourcing to someone else.
Know where I should start?

Lindsay,
Last month I built my first Flash website after following this tutorial on Lynda.com:
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourseN.aspx?lpk2=735
Needless to say the concept behind the tutorial was mind-opening, at least for me: I have a HTML/CSS background and I always used Flash almost only for banners, headers and simple animations.
Hope this helps...

Advice on how to keep Flash website small & fast

Hi, I'm developing my first Flash website (I know, I know, there are plenty of reasons to use other development products, but for now it will be Flash), and I envision a site with several pages and needing to load some large graphics. I'm doing the main design work in Illustrator and importing it into Flash. I'm not too concerned with animation except perhaps moving some buttons around. My plan so far is to use a lot of UI loaders to keep the main .swf small and to really try to keep the coding pretty simple as I'm a newbie anyway. I'm looking for general advice on how to prevent the main site from loading quickly - for example, I don't have a good sense of the best format to use for graphics, or which makes the site slower: using several UI loaders or just keeping the content in the main site? Is a lot of code or large graphics more draining on the load time? Any thoughts on what you think I can do or not do to keep it lean would be super appreciated, or any other resources you might be able to point me to.
Thanks in advance!

Nah... really really stupid questions only get asked in non-Flash forums. The size of the swf is not tied tot the size of the fla. The fla has alot more baggage that inflates its size greatly compared to the swf it creates. The swf will end up bearing the weight of whatever content you put in it.
If you want to see what's adding weight to your swf, go into your Flash Publish Settings and select the option to Generate Size Report. When you publish the file it will display a detailed report of each element and the weight it contributes to the swf.
As far as dynamically loading swf's, it is often a necessity, unless the swf is strictly an animation. If you import an swf into an fla file, all of the actionscript that might have been in it is stripped out.
Code will have negligible weight in a file. Images (large/heavy ones) can put lead shoes on a file, along with video and sound files.

How to embed flash in html

I have been trying to embed a flash swf document in a free
website hosting site called Weebly. You can add html code to it and
i have been reading up about the ways to embed flash in html. I
have tried all the codes but when you first save the file where
does it have to be saved?

I'm sure weebly have instruction for it and would be best to
try to search the site.
In most cases you upload the file to some folder and define
the path in your embed tag,
or upload to your hosting space and direct that path to the
file there.
As I said, each company practice differently, check with
them.

Embed Flash into Java Application

Hello Friends,
I need to develop a Java Swing application which can display the menus using Flash. So basically I want to embed flash in the Java swing application such that when the user clicks a button in the flash menu, the menu will pass a command to the Java Swing application and vice-versa.
I am looking to use Flash this way, because using Flash we can create really good looking and smooth menus as opposed to Java Swing. I also want a solution which will be platform independent.
Please let me know how to do this. Atleast give me some pointers or website tutorial which will guide me in this.
Thanks a ton.

Enable full sreen For API youtube into flash website

Hie,
simple question ,it is possible to have the fullscreen button on the youtube players when the API is load into a flash website ?
I read this
fs
Values: 0 or 1. Default is 0. Setting to 1 enables the fullscreen button. This has no effect on the Chromeless Player. Note that you must include some extra arguments to your embed code for this to work. The bolded parts of the below example enable fullscreen functionality:<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"</param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?fs=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
allowfullscreen="true"
allowscriptaccess="always"
width="425" height="344">
</embed>
</object>
I see many http website having the expand in full screen button but I can't find API youtube into Full flash players web site
thx in advance,

How to embed Flash .flv video?

Hello guys,
I am wondering, is there any way how to embed Flash video onto my web page?
And regarding QT video template on iWeb's Movie page, can I drag any kind of QT ? Like H.264 QT for example, or is it just for Mpeg2 QT?
Thank you so much for any advise.

What is your video codec you are working with? NTSC (and PAL) DV is about 13 gigs/hr uncompressed. When you export your QT movie from your editing application and convert the file to flv you are compressing the video at that time with a determined bit rate and video dimension. quality and file size comes down to math. File size = bit rate x movie length. Quality is bit rate in relation to dimension. Surprisingly enough the recommended video encoder for flv is Flash Video Encoder application that comes with Flash. Sorenson Squeeze is arguably the best flv video encoder. Visual Hub is not recommended if quality and efficiency is desired. Flash Player is a browser plug-in that that allows web visitors to view Flash videos on your website from their web browse. Most already have Flash player installed and you can insert a script that checks to see if the visitor has Flash player installed and if it doesn't a window will appear informing the visitor that they are required to instal the Flash Player in order to view Flash content on your website. A URL is also provided to direct the visitor to the Flash Player download page. Insert this script into the <head></head> of your site:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
with(navigator){
var isIE = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);
var isWin = (appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") != -1);
if (!isIE || !isWin){
var flashVer = -1;
if (plugins && plugins.length > 0){
var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description : "";
desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"].description : desc;
if (desc == "") flashVer = -1;
else{
var descArr = desc.split(" ");
var tempArrMajor = descArr[2].split(".");
var verMajor = tempArrMajor[0];
var tempArrMinor = (descArr[3] != "") ? descArr[3].split("r") : descArr[4].split("r");
var verMinor = (tempArrMinor[1] > 0) ? tempArrMinor[1] : 0;
flashVer = parseFloat(verMajor + "." + verMinor);
// WebTV has Flash Player 4 or lower -- too low for video
else if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1) flashVer = 4.0;
var verArr = reqVerStr.split(",");
var reqVer = parseFloat(verArr[0] + "." + verArr[2]);
if (flashVer < reqVer){
if (confirm(msg))
window.location = "http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash";
</script>
Then replace <body> with this:
<body onload="MM_CheckFlashVersion('9,0,0,0','Content on this site requires the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to download it now?');">
Beginning with Flash Player 9 h.264 QT movies are now supported for playback. Simply change the file extension from .m4v to .flv to convert the h.264 video to Flash video that can be viewed from Flash Player 9+ on a web browser.
hope that helps!
