Embed swf or html within a swf?

Is it possible to embed an swf or html file within another swf ...without using ActionScript?
AND

You cannot embed an html page in an swf page in any case. If you import an swf with the intent to embed it into another swf, you can embed it, but if it has any actionscript it will be lost. The only way to incorporate an swf into another swf without actionscript and still have its actionscript work is to copy the main tineline of the swf (ala its fla file) into a movieclip and copy that movieclip into the other swf.
It appears you had more to say but it was cut off if so.

Creating an SWF to play within an SWF

Basically I need to be able to play an SWF file within an SWF
project. The project contains a layout of different navigational
buttons. I wish for one of the buttons to go to a frame containing
an older SWF project I created.
Please help if you can.

Even if the SWF played directly on the timeline it would
still be ok. As long as you were able to alter it's X and Y
positions. ( I really don't care too much about playing AS2 SWF's
eather. I'm more concerned about AS3. Out with the old and in with
the new)

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
How do I load more than one SWF?
How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
How do I resize the loaded SWF?
How do I set its X and Y location?
Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the
last frame of the SWF to be called - is that right?
I am not sure I am doing it correctly...

Swf security html embed

hi
In site B (WWW.BBB.COM/mypage.html) I have embed into html page an swf from another site url (http://WWW.AAA.COM/test.swf).
From site B I'm able to request all function in swf on www.aaa.com site.
cross domain policy don't works with html emebed tag .
this is an online example :
http://www.amiamo.info/flex/test.html
how can protect swf on www.aaa.com ?
thanks

Hi there,
Yes, the solution is to use a crossdomain.xml file where you have your .swf file hosted but be careful, you can limit the access to the .swf. Here's an example: http://api.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml but instead of <allow-access-from domain="*"/> you should have <allow-access-from domain="http://www.bbb.com"/> so that you'll limit swf access to only http://www.bbb.com
With best regards,
Barna Biro

Embedding swf into HTML+JS AIR app

Hi
I'm trying to embed swf into HTML+JS AIR app with no luck.
First, I created flash library with this class in default package.
package
     import mx.controls.Alert;
     public class Utilities
          public function Utilities()
                         //asdfasdf
               Alert.show("asdasd","");
Then I compiled the project with Flash Builder and got library.swc as result. Then I extracted swf file.
After this is added required code into my html:
<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRAliases.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRIntrospector.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
    <script src="library.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            alert('loaded');
            air.Introspector.logError("aaa");
            var v = new runtime.Utilities();
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Then after I run application, I get error that result of expression is not constructor, function etc.
Could you help me please? Thanks in advance.
Here is sample code:
http://depositfiles.com/files/jztpnlb3a

No. I mean that the Flex framework makes certain assumptions about the environment it is running in -- like having a stage to work with. The Alert function, for example, works by creating a sprite and adding it to the Flash display list. Since your embedded SWF is not on a stage, there's no way for it to work.
You can can possibly use certain non-visual parts of the framework, such as the rpc package, but I can't guarantee it.

Embedd a database within a SWF?

Hi -
I'm wondering if the following can be done with Flash -
- can a swf contain it's own database that the user can add,
delete, read?
- while the view is online, entering and interacting with the
data- is it being sent back and forth to the server?
- can this database be protected with some sort of encryption
that is only unlocked by the user's code?
- and so that if the user emailed the swf or the db file from
within the swf, only a person with the key could access the data?
Can it be done?
Can someone point me to how to these features might be
possible with Flash?
TIA your input,
jl

Hi,
1.- SWF files cannot contain their own databases but they can
access several server side scripts to mantain/modify a server side
database.
2.- Yes the interaction with the database occurs without the
user having to take notice.
3.- You can use any type of session protection wih
authentication to protect your data.
4.- SWF are like HTML or plain text (anyone can find a way to
read it) so I'd recomend using server side authentication rather
than relying on swf key protection.
Cheers,
Gorka

HTML/javascript interaction with swf content - can I call swf functions from JS?

Hi,
I've created an AIR application where the
intialWindow.content is a HTML page / JavaScript application. On
this HTML page I want to include some SWF content as a plugin (a
Flex 3 app), so I have an object tag.
From my SWF I can call out to JavaScript using
flash.external.ExternalInterface fine. I can also call methods
within the AIR and Flex APIs via the window or runtime objects.
However, if I try to call methods within my SWF from
JavaScript, nothing happens. Further, I can pass a function
reference from my SWF to JavaScript (via ExternalInterface), and
while I can see a valid function reference in JavaScript, calling
it doesn't call the function within the SWF.
Is this not supported? Or is this something else, like an
applicationDomain issue? My SWF object is loaded via the app:/ uri,
so I didn't think it would be that.

I hadn't tried that, and it does work. Thank you. Everyone
should note though that the documentation here
Flex
3 - External Interface
and
Flash
9 - ExternalInterface.html
says:
"Note: Adobe AIR currently does not support the
ExternalInterface class."
which by my reading means that none of this should work,
although it clearly does.
The page
Example:
Using the external API with a web page container was most
helpful in finding the solution, since it mentions referencing the
object id of the plugin (e.g.
window['my-object-id'].functionToCall()) when referencing the
callback function.
This
page has a more concise example.

Difference between .swf and html publishing

Hi,
I am creating a flash player to stream my .flv files, as I am
testing my results, I put my .swf and html files on my web server
and then test respective URL paths: For example:
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.html
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.swf
how come these file vary so much in size? when I call
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.html
on my browser; my player is very small. But, when I call
http://mywebserver.com/video/file.swf
I see the actual size.
Thanks,

Hi,
Open ur html with DW or notepad. Find the <embed src="
tag.
Then replace the width and height of the swf as u want.
When you tries to open the file.swf, it will hold the browser
width and height.

Using AS 3.0 to create a popup .swf within an .swf

Hi,
I need to have an .swf running for a game. Within this .swf there will be a "Help" button, which, when clicked, needs to create a new popup window from a different .swf file. The second .swf file must appear in a new window, in a separate popup, and not replace anything in the first .swf window.
I want to know how to do this in ActionScript 3.0. I don't need help with the button click event, but I do need help on how to make the popup appear. Any advice?
Thanks.

use
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("yourswf.swf"));

Saving/Printing work from within a .swf file

Okay so here's the deal. I have to create a flash game in
which users will be creating artwork. When users are done with
their artwork we want them to be able to SAVE their work, EMAIL it
to a friend, and PRINT it out all within the .swf file.
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO THIS?????? I have been searching a
researching and going through many forums and tutorials trying to
see if anyone out there can help but I have come up with nothing.
Although I did come a across a website that was able to achieve
what we are looking to do in this flash game.
Click here to view
Snowflake Website
On this website users can make snowflake art the old fashion
way but this time on the web within a flash site. When users are
satisfied with their snowflake they can save it and the snowflake
is added to an ever growing database of user created snowflakes
that also can be viewed by others at anytime. Users are also given
the option of emailing their snowflake design to friends and
downloading their design as a JPEG or and EPS file. You can also do
the same to any of other numerous snowflake designs with the
snowflake design database.
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO THIS??? I have contacted the
agency that was responsible for creating this site for their help
as well but any assistance I can get from you guys would be greatly
appreciated as well.
Still quite confused but eagerly awaiting your
responses.

Printing object:
on (release) {
//creates the object of the class printjob
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
//starts the procedure
//opens the windows printing window
pj.start();
//sets the printing area (i may be made outside the stage,
so using the A4 area and adding any other information that should
not appear on screen)
area = {xMin:0, yMin:28, xMax:465, yMax:296};
//printing options - true=bitmap / false-=vetor... bitmap
generates a bigger file, but results in better quality for images,
vector is smaller and a good option if you work just with text
options = {printAsBitmap:true};
//adds the page the the printing queue
pj.addPage(_root, area, options, null);
//sends the page to the printer
pj.send();
//deletes the object to clear memory (very important)
delete pj;

How do I keep the action created in Flash (.fla) the same when published in .swf or .html?

I created a complex fixed line and a bird flying on the line using tweens from point A to B to C. When I view the birdline in play or by scrubbing across them in the layers mode, the bird follows the line just as designed. When I test the birdline in "test Scene" or "test movie" one bird flies from point A to C, then another bird appears at point B and flies the course to point C. The published .swf and .html do the same as the test functions. What can I do to get the published version to behave the same as the design?

Rob,
Thanks for your response. There are no error messages in the test functions, and no alerts in the keyframes. They show green.
Attached you will find both the .fla file and the .swf file. I am new at this, so your help is greatly appreciated.

hi all,
How may load an external html file in swf? such as google.com in a movieclip.

With Flash, you can't do this.
Just with FlashBuilder and Air (something like HTMLLoader , not sure now)
I mean loading in a movieclip..
Of course you can open a page to display in a browser.
