Read up on the _lockroot property. Search it in the helpdocs
(hit F1 in Flash). Does this help? If not post.

[svn] 663: Fix SDK-14201: Performance: embedded images are written into the swf one byte at a time.

Fix SDK-14201: Performance: embedded images are written into the swf one byte at a time.
This changes the way swfs are written out when they contain embedded lossless images,
such as PNGs and GIFs. The old code had a loop to write a byte at a time; the new code
does a single biblt. The result is a modest compilation speedup, on the order of
several hundred milliseconds when compiling Flexstore.

Hiya, Mike,
It's pretty tough to work through pasted-in code. If you can, please upload a page to a server, so we can see your pages in context. We'll be able to download it and look at it.
That said, you can do this: Find the beginning of an editable region in Code View. It will look like this:

Click anywhere in that tag, between the opening bracket and the closing bracket.
Then, on the vertical toolbar on the left side of the Code window, click on the "Collapse Full Tag" button. It is the one with two arrows pointing at each other. This will collapse that entire editable region. Then click the button with the two arrows pointing away from each other. That will re-open the editable region, but will highlight it.
If you have nested regions, you will find the other inside one of the editable regions. If you copy the <!-- InstanceBeginEditable and do a search on it in that document, you will find the nested region.

Thanks John,
I've downloaded the exif tool + the gui - I can see how it's meant to work and have successfully processed a single file (even when I got the name wrong it still copied exif time data!)
I'll investigate further on how to do a batch and use command line
Really appreciate your prompt response to my problem.
I will let you all know how I get on - will take quite a few weeks but I am confident I can get there!
Thanks Mike
A week later I've now got back into this. I used the exif gui tool - which was very simple to use once I sat down with peace and quiet for 10 mins! I successfully copied and updated the correct exif data including capture time from the original backup files. My metadata keywords remained untouched when I then updated the metadata setting from disk in lightroom.
exif is a great tool, and I found it easier to use than AM pro - I couldn't see the photo attributes in the trial download so made it hard to sort by date.
Anyway my problem was overcome thank you

Embedding Strobe Media Player into Websites

Hello,
I am using the Strobe Media Player and want to have it so that using visiting my website can copy an embed code and use the player in their site.
Does Strobe Media Player have this capability or do I need to build it in myself?
Thanks

Hi,
this functionality is not present in the player itself, but you can use the code from the setup.html page that uses JS to generate the embed code from a set of parameters as a starting point.

Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

Hello,
      I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
      Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now, when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
      So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
I would like to appreciate your help and support.
Thanks,
-Yogesh.

Symptom :
When embedding a pdf document into a Crystal Report, only the one page shows.
Reproducing the Issue
Environment:
Crystal Reports OLE object
Cause
An OLE object only displays the first page.
Resolution
Embed multiple objects, one for each page
Or
Use a hyperlink to the object instead
Hope this helps!

Textbox shows xml text in working file but now when loaded into another SWF

Hi all,
I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file. When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.
This seems the key line -
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number];
I have also tried
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number].firstChild;
This traces out the correct xml data when tested so it is finding it okay.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The problem might be in the use of the "_root" You probably need to set _lockroot = true; in the loaded swf, otherwise the _root is that of the loading swf, not the loaded one.

Embedding a WIMPY jukebox into a flash page?

Hi, I would like to insert a WIMPY jukebox (or a section of
html if we're talking technically here) into a .swf file. I have a
flash template, and inserting the player into the HTML page is
useless and messy and troublesome.
Is there a way of inserting HTML code into a .swf file? The
WIMPY code is a brief paragraph of HTML, can I see the results of
the HTML code through flash anyway?
Cheers, Tom.

There is a great extension that will do it all for you and
it's free...it's here:

Enlarging text in XSPF player w/Flash CS5

I took a class in Flash way back when it first came out. I haven't used it since then until I recently got the CS5 version for a specific task. I'm revising a small site which includes articles about musicians and sound clips of their work. The mp3 player I'm using is the open-source XSPF Player. It has a clean minimal look that fits my page design. The only problem is the text size inside the player that shows the artist name, song title, etc. It's way too small. I contacted one of the people who has released a modified version of this player, and he said yes it would be no problem to modify the .swf file to display the text differently. However, when I open the player with Flash, the tools are grayed out. I explored all the options on the menus and panels without finding a way to get at the insides of this player. I've two options here: 1-Get specific advice from one of you who has used Flash more than I have, or 2-Get advice about the location a good tutorial. I tried Googling the info I need but didn't get useful results. Any tips? Here's a page where I've implemented the player ...
http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/fripp.htm

Never can tell when a question will be answered in this forum and when it will be ignored.
Anyway...
More research has yielded the likely answer, for the benefit of anyone else trying to do the same thing I'm doing and searches here.
To get inside a .swf file and change it with Flash CS5, the file must be converted to its previous .fla version. There are a wide variety of swf-to-fla converters available, some commercially and some for free. Use Google to find them. Good luck!

Xspf player installation- help needed DESPERATELY

I've been trying for over 2 months to install the xspf player on my iWeb site.
This is the URL:
http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/Audio_4.html
which shows what I haven't managed !
I just checked on a Windows PC and the page is blank- not even a blue rectangle. In iWeb, it looks exactly the same as this page viewed on a mac; ie. the player hasn't properly established itself either.
This is the HTML code I used:
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”400” height=”170” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF”
data=”http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/xspf_player.swf?
playlisturl=http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/playlist.xspf&autoplay=1&volumelevel=50&timedisplay=1” />
<param name=”movie”
value=”http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/xspf_player.swf?
playlisturl=http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/playlist.xspf&autoplay=1&volumelevel=50&timedisplay=1” />
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#FFFFFF” />
</object>
PLEASE can someone help, or I'll need a brain transplant soon !
Thanks,
SeaDream.

Can't really help, but, if it is any consolation, it works very well on my machine (using Firefox)
hmm...
(goes to test)
Okay, good news, works in Safari, works in Opera. Songs load very quickly too!
Doesn't work in... Internet Explorer. Go figure...
BTW very nice site, matches the music well (my first impression). And both somehow match your nickname.
(...and since everyone's a critic ) Your music sounds very clean and quite delicate. I'm going to listen more intently to it later on. Souunds and looks like a nice job, Kay!

Insert flv player into a page

My problem is how to insert a .flv player into a jsf web page and be able to modify dinamically the movie address??
Thank all for your help!!!

one way to embedd flash player is to use swfobject.js
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
<script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("location of ur swf (flash) player", "mymovie", "340", "300", "8", "#FFFFFF");
so.addVariable("videoId", ID);
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
ID is the input that will change dynamically...ur flash player will read videoId and chose the location from where to stream the .flv file..
remember u may need to write ur own .swf(flash player)...

PS3 compatible embeded internet music player

Hi, I am seeking a way to create/edit a embedable music player into a website that will play a music stream fed from my server.
I have tried various flash music players but do not appear compatable with the PS3 (Playstation 3).
A very few select websites are capable of doing this using flash, but after hours of searching and trawling it has left me at a dead end.
Does someone please know what format it needs to be streamed in?
Whats best to encode the specific stream if it has to be a complete flash stream?
Or where i can find code to make my own player?
Or how I can edit an already existing player to work?
I can do all the above for PC/Laptops/Mobiles but not PS3.
Any/all details would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance

I have posted it there too but still no reply.
I guess they want to keep it a secret

Flash player version is 10.1
The flash player installer is in the applications folder and it says that it has succeeded to install, however it has not installed.
Tried heaps of times to install.
Please help

GetURL not working when swf is loaded into another swf

Ok, I need some help for something relatively simple which
for some reason I've not been able to find any information on at
all?
Hopefully it will be something easy to fix.
Essentially I have the following:
my main movie "Home.swf"
another movie "Sub.swf"
I've loaded "Sub.swf" into "Home.swf" via an empty movieclip.
Within "Sub.swf" I have some links which when clicked call
getURL and open a HTML page in the browser.
But for some reason the getURL isn't working and I believe
its because the getURL is called from a loaded movie within
"Home.swf".
I've tried changing the actionscript to:
_root.getURL('/mypage.html');
_parent.getURL('/mypage.html');
but neither (_root / _parent) seems to work?
Need help here please.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
M.

Hi kglad,
Yes the button is definitely firing ok.
In the "Sub.swf" movie, on the second frame of the timeline
(the first frame is some preloader code) there is the following
code:
imgMC.mascara.onPress = function() {
//trace('mc[activo] = ' + mc[activo]);
switch(mc[activo])
case _level0.imgMC.MC0:
trace('0 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC1:
trace('1 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC2:
trace('2 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC3:
trace('3 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC4:
trace('4 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC5:
trace('5 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
If I run this movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) then the trace
works fine.
But the trace stops working when I run the main "Home.swf"
movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) when the "Sub.swf" is loaded into an
empty movie clip.
And when I change the trace for a getURL and test in a
browser it still doesn't work?
What do you reckon?
Thanks.

Embedded Windows Media PLayer With Non-Standard File Extension

I have embedded a windows media player in a asp.net web page, using the usual
<object> and <embed> tags. The video is served by an ashx (http handler). When I try to play the video, I usually (but not always) get an error message telling me that the file extension (ashx) does not match the file format.
This happens in IE (8, 9, 10, 11) and also in Firefox (latest) with the WMP plugin.
I know that the tags (with classid, etc) are correct because the media player displays and allows me to click the 'play' button.
The ashx returns the correct mime type (video/x-ms-wmv) and a valid file name (somevideo.wmv) in the response headers. I have tried content-disposition attachment and inline.
I have tried urls using 'http://', 'https://', and '//' (which I prefer)
If I put the url (including the .ashx) of the video file in the browser address bar directly, the video downloads and plays in the standalone media player.
If I modify the object tag to use a direct path to the video file (/somewhere/somevideo.wmv), it works - but I can't use this as a solution.
The same ashx serves up video and audio in various other formats with out any fuss - it just seems that the embedded windows media player doesn't like it.
This has been working for several years - I think this is some new behavior, though I can't identify what has changed, other than browser updates.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Am I missing something simple?
