Embedding applets in swf

Is there any way to embed a java applet in a swf file? Looking online I could only find info about older versions of Flash, and wasn't sure if support had been added, thanks.

There is no JVM running inside the Flash player that could play a Java applet.
You can however embed the Flash Player into a Java Application with the Developer SDK and licence.
There are also packages like this: http://www.jpackages.com/jflashplayer/
But I don't know how well that work, what versions of SWF or AS that they support.
Depending on what you want to do this for you could use a mix of DHTML, javascript, and the External Interface APIs to in a sence, float a Java Applet above your instance of the Flash Player that is playing your SWF and use the apis to allow them to communicate with each other so that they appear to be working together as one seemless entity. It won't be easy though, and you may get some glitches across browsers.
Hope that helps..

Emailing attached HTML file with embedded applet

Are there any mail servers that could reject emails with attached HTML file that includes embedded applet in a Java Plug-in Object tags? It has an absolute path to a server where the applet resides.
I have seen very few cases where Symantec Anti Virus filter is dropping the messages because of a mime problem. It appears that only two workarounds are to upgrade the Symantec product and to bypass our domain.
Is there anything I could do to prevent the mime problem issue? I hope the Java applet is not an issue.

pberardi1,
I hope you get better soon from the accident you must have had. Surely you must be in the hospital or something, otherwise by now surely you'd have had the courtesy to say a simple
"Thank you".
So,

Embedding fonts as SWF

Hi all,
I am working on a mobile actionsxcript project and am having trouble embedding some fonts. The fonts are embedded in SWF files as only a small subset is needed and I am trying to embed the SWF files in my AS build and then access the fonts via their linkage names.
I am not having any luck but am not really sure of the exact approach here so if anyone can shed any light or provide a tutorial/example that would be great as I am about to start banging my head on stuff.
I am embedding the font swf like this:
[Embed(source="assets/newfonts/FontFile.swf", symbol="fontInstanceName")]
public var FontBold:Class;
I assume I need to construct an instance and cast it before I can use the font (maybe wrong about this) but am unsure of the details.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Turns out to be really (embarressingly) simple and I'm not sure how it took me so long to get working.
Add a new font to the library in Flash.
Give it a linkage name and set it to export for actionscript.
Publish the SWF
Embed the swf in the actionscript project using [Embed(source="assets/newfonts/FontLib.swf", symbol="TestFontBold")]public var TestFontBold:Class;
Set the 'symbol' parameter in the embed tag to be the flash linkage name of the font.
Create a TextFormat object
Create a Font object - var newFont:Font = new TestFontBold();
Set myTextFormat.font = TestFontBold.fontName;
Apply the TextFormat as usual.
No idea how I had so much trouble with this when it is so obvious and straighforward. Oh well, that's often the case (with me at least)
Cheers

Embedding FULLY SCALABLE SWF in PDF

Hello...good people...
I would like to embed a FULLY SCALABLE Photoshop Zoomable photo (swf) and Adobe Bridge web gallery (swf) inside my pdf. After watching the AcrobatUserCommunity Tech Talk tutorial "Embedding Flash in PDF" - September 2009 (https://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/p56758970/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al) and following its instructions (I encourage EVERYONE to watch this entire video...but for this topic 0:29-0:46 is what you need to watch...awesome stuff!!!), I am glad to say I can successfully embed a PS Z-photo and Bridge web gallery. My problem is...the magnification (zoom) on the Z-photo AND gallery has to be 100% and higher. Anything lower, cropping occurs. My question is: how do I modify the Flash files and what applications do I use to make Zoomify and the Bridge web gallery FULLY SCALABLE? In plain English, I'd like to see the ENTIRE Z-photo and gallery at 50% or even 25% zoom.
My tools:
Acrobat 9 PE
Flash Pro CS5
PS CS5
Flash Builder 4
Bridge CS5
Sothink SWF Decompiler
If anyone can provide step-by-step instructions as to how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Adobe Reader can't create pdf files. What do you use?

Embeded font in swf is giving error

i am trying like crazy to embed one more font into a swf for
my application to access. What kills me is the first font in my css
has no problems. The second one does have issues. I am sure they
are added to the swf in the same way:
- made a text field,
-embeded the font to the field
- typed in some stuff to be sure it works when compiling the
font.swf
-added font to Library
-gave class names (Font1,AA)
the errors i get are:
-font 'AA' with normal weight and regular style not found
-Unable to transcode fnt/CiscoFonts.swf.
btw, AA is just simply Arial

well...not sure what that is about, but i simply embeded the
trouble font into a new swf and changed fonts.swf to
extrafont.swf...and it worked.
Flex is too unpredictable

Help with embedding fonts in swf file

Hi, I am haviing a problem with my fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
What I did so far that did not work:
Made fonts static with animation
made fonts dynamic with animation
How can I fix this?
I am still a beginner using flash so the simpler the option the better.
Thanks!!!

there are quite a few ways you could mess this up but no one way that's typical.
create a new fla. click on the text tool, select static in the combobox and add a textfield to the stage. animate it. test it. any problems?
any other way (or ordering of steps) you use to create static text is prone to problems.

FLV embedded in a SWF file, does not play in HTML file.

Hi,
I embedded a FLV file into flash movie clip, which on publish plays well on SWF file, but when the same is embedded in HTML, it does not play.
What is it i'm missing ..
Kindly help.
Regards
Shashi

First, clarify this... are you embedding the .flv into the time line, as in:
The .FLV file is imported on the timeline of a movie clip.
I embedded the .flv file,
If you are in fact embedding the video, then there is no external video file... it's embedded into the timeline.
If you are using the FLVPlayback component and an external vid file to display the video and the .swf when testing plays the video just fine but not on the HTML Web page:
SWF plays external video file, as soon as I embed SWF in HTML, it no longer playes the external video file.
then it's most likely a pathing problem.
If you are placing the .swf on a Web page and the .swf and/or the .flv file are not both in the same folder as the Web page.... then the .swf should NOT work when you test it directly! That's because it should be pathed to play from the Web page and not the location of the .swf.
For your review:
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Passing Info Back from Embedded Applet

Here is the whole story any assistance is appreciated. I have to provide the capability to select and upload multiple files to our server via our web application. Since the HTML file selection only allows choosing one file at a time I have resorted to creating my own applet and embedding it on our JSP page via the jsp:plugin. That's all well and fine, but when I get the list of files that the user has choosen in the applet how do I pass that Array of file objects back to the JSP and thus to the server side for processing?
Thanks Again.

I guess this will be my last attempt at bumping this and hopefully someone will help

Adobe Air Bug: embedded .flv in .swf does not start - Connection Error

Hi,
I have embedded an .flv video into an .swf (using Captivate CS5)
Then I use Dreamweaver and insert the swf into html.
So far everything works ok, the video is displayed.
Now I create an Air File in Dreamweaver.
Result; The video is not displayed. Message: "Connection Error"
I am not a programmer. Do I have to change the .xml file or is there any other fix for this?
Thank you very much!
Claus

This would be somewhat usefull if we where calling the FLV from javascript. However, both Clause and I are calling the flash object from the object tag. This is the default from Dreamweaver and also the prefered method for embeding a swf (my case) into a HTML Air app. The codebase I am using to create my Air app is modified html5 from the client's current website. (they would like this app to "look and work like the site")
For me, all is good exept the video. This app has to work offline or I'd just call the video from the website.
Is there a working example somewhere out there we can look at?
Life would be so much simpler if AIR supported the <video> tag in the webkit html engine. I'll use h.264. I promise!

Embedding Applet inside HTML

Hello,
I have implemented a class that implements java.awt.LayoutManager which uses a set of jar files to run the interface. The windows .bat file created to set classpath and running the java command works fine and the interface works.
This is the .bat file created.
java -cp MBJavaProject.jar;jar\MediaBinServer.jar;jar\axis.jar;jar\jaxrpc.jar;jar\saaj.jar;jar\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;jar\commons-discovery-0.2.jar;jar\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;jar\activation.jar;jar\lib\mail.jar MBAdminConsoleBut while embedding it in the browser, it is causing problems and does not show the interface at all. I tried editing with lot of possibilities and here is the latest snippet used inside the html
<object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
                height="300" width="450" >
          <param name="code" value="MBAdminConsole.class" />
          <param name="archive" value="MBJavaProject.jar,jar/MediaBinServer.jar,jar/axis.jar,jar/jaxrpc.jar,jar/saaj.jar,jar/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar,jar/commons-discovery-0.2.jar,jar/wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar,jar/activation.jar,jar/lib/mail.jar" />
        </object>When I tried this, it works though it pops out of the browser and open a separate window for the interface. Inside the browser, it has a erd 'x' sign and java console says that class can not be casted to java.applet.Applet
Can any one please suggest me the right code to embed in to the html so as to make the interface appear to work from the browser?
Thanks
Shivram Rajamanickam

The class can be casted to java.applet.Applet only if it extends java.applet.Applet.

Embedding Applet into Webpages

I have created applets in Jbuilder 8 associated with a client. When the first Client applet (ClientUDP) runs it sends information to the server and opens a new panel. When I embedded the applets into a Webpage the information is not being sent and the panels aren't opening.
Assuming this is a class path issue, I created a jar file of my project called untitled1.jar, which is the archive for the web page, but this is not working. Here is some of the HTML file.
<applet
codebase = "."
code = "clientServer.ClientUDP.class"
archive = "clientServer.untitled1.jar"
>
</applet>
I'm using IE6 as my browser.
Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks

CS3 and AS2: Embedding an external swf file

Hey everyone,
I have built a few flash sites before and am trying to make one that is slightly more complicated and allows for dynamic, database stored images and text. I have built a dynamic gallery based on an XML feed in AS2 which works fine. I am trying to embed it into another FLA file that contains the remainder of the site (the gallery will be one page of the main site). I have tried a ridiculous number of different methods but just cannot get it to work. The gallery is built in AS2, so I am using an AS2 FLA file for the main template it is to be embedded in. The simplest method i have tried that i think should work is to create a new AS2 fla file, edit the actions on my actions layer to be:
Empty.loadMovie("My Gallery.swf");
I have then created a new layer for the content and added a MovieClip to the top left of it, named Empty. I have set the instance name of this movie clip to be Empty. From what I have understood from my reading this is the simplest way to display the external file but for some reason it just will not work. It seems to see My Gallery.swf as when i delete it from the local directory i get an 'Error opening URL 'file:///D|/Websites/My Gallery.swf'' message. This message does not appear when this file exists locally, however it just opens a blank screen with nothing within it.
I have been reading numerous tutorials and posts and i'm pretty sure i'm being thick, but for some reason i can't seem to get it to work!
Thanks so much for any light you could shed on this for my guys, it's driving me crazy!
Dave

I have checked that a number of times and unless i'm going crazy (which is distinctly possible) then the instance name is set to Empty. I have uploaded a zip file containing the fla and swf file and the test swf file that is being embedded. You can download it here.
Thanks so much for your help, i really am completely stumped and i know it's going to be something crazy i'm doing and i'm going to hate myself when i finally discover why!
