Embedding swf in my website

hi i want to upload a slideshow in my html, its a swf file.
can anyone tell me the coding i have to input to embed the swf.
cheers

Well, it might be there's a problem with something else in your page.
Can you have a stab at inserting the flash file after following a tutorial and then post a link to a live page?
I think that having a live example is really the quickest way to get help.

Video playback in embedded swf

Hi,
I'm building a website in flash catalyst that uses an embedded swf also created in catalyst. The site is for a musician, and one of the pages (states) loads a swf file that contains a list of videos the user can select and play. That swf was also made in catalyst. This works.
When I navigate away from the video page to the Bio page (for instance), the video stops playing, which is good. The problem though, is when I return to the video page, the video resumes right where it was when I left the page. This is a bit jarring... I'd really like the video to stop playing for real when the user navigates away, so that when he/she returns to the page, its in the default state... With nothing playing.
Can anyone help? I'm stuck here.
Thanks!
Craig

you need to make your own controls and you need to learn some
basic actionscript: controlling playhead movement along a timeline
is about as basic as it gets. check the movieclip gotoAndPlay(),
gotoAndStop() methods.

Need help with embedded SWF Playing

I have an embedded SWF file (A 4 photo slide show) created in Flash Professional CS5, Action script 3, flash player 10 selected.
I have placed this into the flash catalyst CS5 file. The file previews in the browser perfectly.
The problem is when published it will not start the slideshow until you refresh the browser (Safari and FireFox) the local version runs fine
the published version does not even when uploaded to the web server. www.ngambaisland.com
This site was woking properly before I made some changes to the slide show and rebuilt the file to optimize it for loading performance.
Please help if you can,
Many Thanks,
Curtis

Thanks for looking but I have tested the website on 5 different computers an the slide show only activates after you hit the screen refresh button.
I am afraid I am a bit limited in flash. You mentioned to check access settings. I used the default action script 3 settings in the publish settings.
Could you please be more descriptive as what to look for or what settings I would need to change?
Thanks for your help.

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
4. Any of about a dozen other things.
As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.

Embedded SWF very slow to load in browser

I have placed a swf slide show in Flash catalyst about 500k the problem is when I playback in the browser the embedded swf file displays long after the rest of the website has loaded and built. It works fine after I refresh and the file is loaded in the Cache.. but makes for a poor user experience when viewing for the first time, First impressions count.
If I place the 500k swf in Dreamweaver it loads almost instantly from the remote server.
For some reason Flash catalyst has a difficult time decoding and playing.
The flash file was built in CS5 default settings.
Any help on having the swf load first or process faster would be great.
I know that file size is a issue but 500k is not that much.
Heres the url.

Embedded .swf's calling javascript from air container

1) I have an html/ajax air app version 1.5.1
2) This air app embeds .swf files from an external source / web server & plays the embdded .swf inside air.
3) The embedded .swf file has a button with an onClick event
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
ExternalInterface.call("someJavascriptMethod()" );
4) The javascript method to be called is already parsed inside the containing Air app and is waiting to be triggered.
5) When the onClick is triggered, the following error is thrown.
Error: Error #2067: The ExternalInterface is not available in this container. ExternalInterface requires Internet Explorer ActiveX,
Firefox, Mozilla 1.7.5 and greater, or other browsers that support NPRuntime.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
at stress_fla::MainTimeline/onClick()
6) On investigation I found on your livedoc's website that Air does not support the ExternalInterface.call method.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/air/1/aslr/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
Look for Note: Adobe AIR currently does not support the ExternalInterface class.
7) Does anyone here know how I can get an embbeded .swf file to call javascript methods in the containing air application? I have had a look at the getUrl method but this is now longer supported & even the FS command but still to no avail. I may have a work around by inserting a DOM element over the top of the embedded .swf but this is not an elegant solution & want the .swf to talk directly to the air app container.
All help & comments welcome
Thanks
Kyle
Additionally I have found
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflash/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ed4 .html
Using the Html Loader so that Actionscript can call/manipulate the dom objects. At first I was whopee but then I tried the examples listed in the help. The HTMLLoader class is only available in Air. When trying to use import flash.html.HTMLLoader; Flash C4 complains that the Definition cannot be found on compile time & therefore does not export my movie correctly. Has anyone else had this problem or have a solution??
More additions:
The reason the htmlLoader class was not compiling was due to the source action script provided being ActionScript 2.0 - the htmlLoader class is a 3.0 library.
However, after more investigation I have found the current structure.
The air app has an html base/root doc. On periodic javascript events - .swf files are downloaded via
videos = new air.Loader();
netStream = new air.URLRequest(path + file);
videos.load(netStream);
So now I have a html container in my air app that creates a new air.Loader which downloads the external .swf file in which I want an onClick event in the action Script of the downloaded .swf file to call a Javascript method of the parent air container. Simple yea?
Or am I making life to hard for myself? Have been looking at the security snadboxes but I don't see how I can get the .swf file to talk nicely with the outer air container. Please help if able.
Thanks
Kyle

Hi Kenneth,
Your explanation makes sense.
I have a big JavaScript file full of special mathematical functions written by a mathematician who only knows how to program in Javascript.
I need to call the Javascript functions from within an ActionScript library, which obviously has no UI, and thus HTML and/or HTMLLoader are not an option.
Any ideas?
TIA,
mlavie

Why are my embedded SWFs so ugly?

Hello people,
When I embed my swf file into my website (running on Wordpress), it looks ugly, Round picture elements (which come from PSDs, incidentally) show up jagged and ugly on my webpage, even though I use the best quality settings.
I've tried two different flash embedding plugins, but there's no difference. I find the embedded swf unacceptable looking.
How can I get it to look the way it does in the .FLA?
Thanks,
Ehrenfest

Hey k,
I never allow my swf to be resized - original size, only. I don't know how to enable smoothing - have looked in the Publish options, but can't find anything that looks like it.
However - in the past I didn;'t have these problems. The only thing I;m doing differently right now is that I have imported PSDs into my .fla. For one reason or another, though they were perfect in Photoshop, they're butt ugly (sorry) in Flash.

Controlling one embedded swf with another

I have a flash website where I am using the loadMovie()
function to load multiple swfs, buttons, etc. into my index.swf
file (so it is easier to update one component than the whole
movie).
I have a series of buttons (home, about, services, etc.) that
in are in a file called "buttons.swf" and are loading into
index.swf. I also have another button called "envelope.swf", which
brings up a screen for a "Tell a Friend about this Page" box. I
would like to have the "buttons.swf" files disabled when when the
"envelope.swf" button is clicked, but I'm not too sure how to go
about doing it BECAUSE it is called through loadMovie.
Can this be done? I know about using enabled=false/true, but
how can I use that when referring to an embedded swf?
Thanks!

That's a very wise method of developing your website.
My group uses something like this:
var myComponent:MovieClip =
createEmptyMovieClip("myComponent", getNextHighestDepth());
this.loadClip(src, this.myComponent);
Then when you need to access a function or value in your
component, you just use standard dot notation:
this.myComponent.myFunction(values);
this.myComponent.button1,_width=220;
You can even embed components inside other components.

Firefox doesn't play embedded swf

I've looked on many forums, including Firefox, with no real answer. Running Firefox 4. It just doesn't play embedded SWF. My Adobe Flashplayer is up to date, so is the plugin. The page displays properly. But the area that should be displaying a movie is just represented by a tiny square. No error message appears. The same page doesn't show the movie in IE9 either.
Now from looking at the page information, it just requires Flashplayer 6 and above for the SWF area. I do have Flashplayer 10. The plugin says Shockwave Flash player 10 is up to date. Many other pages with different types of embedded movies play properly.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Embedding .swf in PDF files

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

Embedding swf files in AIR app for ios

Hi,
After going through a lot of articles already available, I found answers with varying views on the following questions:-
1) Can we embed swf files using the embed tag in air app for ios, with symbols exported ?
Something like [Embed(source="someSWF",symbol="exportedSymbol")]
and also something like [Embed(source="someSWF")].
From what I understand, one can't embed swf's with actionscript byte code in them. So exporting symbols actually creates class linkages which leads to creation of abc. But I'm unsure on this because some sources say otherwise.
2) Can we embed swf files using embed tag in air app for ios, without symbols exported ?
Something like [Embed(source="someSWF")]
and also something like [Embed(source="someSWF" mimeType = "application/octet-stream")]
I read somewhere else, that you can actually embed symbols separately by providing symbol tag in embed tag but not entire swf (which leads to uncompiled actionscript error) but not sure about this as this is contradictory to finding #1.
3) If #2 is possible, then do embedding two different swfs with same symbol names would cause a conflict and result in #3747 error ?
Please note I am not asking about the Loader class here but using the Embed keyword for embedding swfs.
Also do the results differ with AIRSDK 3.8 and 3.9 and using different swf-version in compiler flags ?
In our application we started getting error #3747 in class creation of one of the embedded swfs (like new EmbeddedClass()) when we changed from swf-version 17 to 21 using AIRSDK 3.8. So was this error not there earlier or it was there but swf-version was suppressing it ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

I am fairly sure that the answer to your questions is: “no”.
For embed to work the AIR app would have to be working in interpreter mode, and that can work for local testing, but can’t work for submitting apps. An easy change for you to do would be to use SWCs instead of Embed. Other than that you’re looking at Loader, but also a tricky command line build of the app.

CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing

I'm creating CR 2008 reports with embedded SWFs as described in the whitepaper [EMBEDDING XCELSIUS 2008 VISUALIZATIONS IN CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/product/catalog/crystalreports/cr_xc_integration.pdf].
From CR, I can export the report to html and view the report fine. But when I export to pdf, ppt, etc. The SWFs are not viewable. Is this a bug or by design?
This section of the white paper seems to imply that maybe you cannot export to pdf:
>TECHNICAL DETAILS
>
>Viewing Flash objects embedded in a Crystal Report is supported in the:
>
>Crystal Reports 2008 Preview tab
>Crystal Reports 2008 .NET Webform viewer
>Crystal Reports 2008 Java DHTML viewer (used in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 and other products)
>
>Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
>
>Embedded Flash objects that do not have connections to Crystal Reports data can be exported to PDF only.
I'm using the latest version of Adobe products:
- Adobe Flash Player ActiveX, Version 9.0.124.0
- Adobe Flash Player Plugin, Version 9.0.115.0
- Adobe Reader 9, Version 9.0.0
Also, I downloaded [CR Viewer 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports_viewer/] and can see the CR reports I've created with embedded Xcelsius swfs.
Any information is appreciated. Thanks.
Tim

> ... it states in your first post, the export is not supported,
True. It says:
> Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
But I can export such reports to html and view and print the flash objects.
It seems inconsistent to me. I can export static flash charts to pdf, yet I cannot export dynamic flash charts to pdf, which is from Adobe, as is Flash?
I'm hoping this is a temporary bug either in Crystal or pdf reader and is to be fixed in a patch release. Or an explanation of why the limitations exist.
Thanks for the response.

Embedding Swf into to forum signature

Hi, i have been trying to find this everywhere but no good.
How can i embed swf into forum Posts and signatures ? Its my site s
o i change settings etc.....is there some mod that should be
installed on the forum ? Any help at all would be really
appreciated =)
J

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.
