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 =)

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.

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:

White box of death! Trouble embedding swf into Dreamweaver!

So close to being finished! I notice this question on alot of other forums but its never resolved!
here is the site now:
http://http://www.andrewweeksphotogr...m/index_8.html
you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.
here is the code from dreamweaver (you'll notice im sticking in color values wherever i can!)
help a gal out! many thanks!

Re: embedding SWF into HTML

I don't seem to be able to add to the discussion! Hans wanted the url of the file that works: http://claudinegrandjean.com/Me.- html this is the one that doesn't please forget the placement of the SWF I could fix it if it worked; Cheers, Claudine

Embedding swf into Flex Desktop Application size/scale problem.

Hello,
I am embedding an swf animation into my desktop Flex desktop application. I am using SDK 4.6.0. I use the SWFLoader to embed the animation:
<s:SWFLoader source="img/mch_anim_1.swf"/>
When I run the application, the animation is loaded and is working, but when I try to maximize the window there is a size/scale bug that happens. The screen stays half-side maximized (maximized to the top, bottom and stays until the middle of the screen by side).
I've published the SWF for Flash Player 8 and Actionscript 2 just to test and there was no problem with the size/scale, but I need to use Actionscript 3.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

I found the problem!
There was a line of code that was auto-generated from using a template out of Flash CS6. The line of code that caused it is:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
After deleting it, everything is now working properly.
Greetings!

Problems with embedding swfs into Director 11.5

Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me and please bear with me - I don't know a lot about director - I can do some Lingo and get around in the program to make things work.
Right now I am working on an interactive presentation where the user can click a button to view an animation. I am using Director 11.5 for my presentation and have made my animations in After Effects CS3 -- from there I converted my .mov files to .flv files using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4... then I took my .flv file into Flash and published it as a swf file.
The problem that I am having is that when I play the presentation (within Director and after publishing the .app/projector file) the swf files are playing - but there is all this glitchy-artifact stuff all over them. Does anyone know why this would be happening? When I play the swf files in the flash player they look great. Before, when I was using Flash MX and Director MX, I never had any problems with embedding my swf animation files - and they played great - without any artifact. Any and all help would be much appreciated as this project is due in the next few days and I would prefer to figure out a solution rather than uninstalling Flash CS4 and Director 11.5 - and going back to MX.
I toyed with the thought that my video card isn't good enough but I tested the .app file on another machine and the glitchy-artifacts were still there. I have attached a jpg showing the artifact that appears.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.7
Dual 2 GHz G5 PowerPC
ATI Radeon X800 XT
Thank you!

Sorry... here is the image again and I think the problem might be my machine -- it is very old (~4+ years) and when I tested my .app on a newer intel mac here it worked fine... but maybe I am missing something -- it seems odd that I can see the swf fine in flash player but it is glitchy when played through director or the .app projector file

Embedding SWF into Powerpoint 2007....

I use this method to place a SWF in Powerpoint 2007. (see below).
My question is... how do I make the path relative and not absolute? So whatever path/destination I put in the "Movie" property is absolute and if and when I sent this PPTX file to someone (like in a folder) the SWF no longer plays. I wanted to make a path that is relative... so instead of putting "C:\Use\Profile\Desktop\Flash.swf" I wanted to know if I could do something like "Flash.swf" and then it'll play the SWF since it'd be in the root (or maybe a subfolder).
Place SWF in Powerpoint 2007:
1. Click Office Button.
2. Click “Powerpoint Options”
3. Under the “Popluar” tab check “Show Developer tab in the Ribbon”. Click OK
4. Click the “Developer” tab.
5. Click the “More Controls” button (wrench/hammer icon)
6. Choose “Shockwave Flash Object”. Click OK.
7. Cursor turns to crosshairs. Drag box to house the object.
8. In the “Properties” pop-up, find “Movie”.
9. Under “Movie”. Paste in the path of the file. (i.e. C:\Users\Profile\Desktop\flashAnimation.swf
a. Try to put the SWF in the same root location as the PPTX.

You can insert a .swf file into PowerPoint using the method you described with both an absolute and a relative path. But that will just insert it and play it as a linked file.
What you seem to want to do is to embed the file. That's tricker. The .pptx file extension apparently has a known and unfixed bug that won't let you embed a .swf. There's nothing out there, that I could find that may be of help. But you could try these two steps:
In the properties panel for the insered swf, find the EmbedMovie property and set it to "True".
Then Save As... your Presentation to the older file format (.ppt not .pptx). This may show up in the Save menu as "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation".
This may work, you should take note that the file size should increase significantly. If the Presentation's file size doesn't increase, then you know it hasn't been embedded and the animation will not play if you email the file (because it's not included).

Embedding SWF into HTML

Hi. I am trying to make a SWF open a new browser window when
it is clicked, acting as a Splash page that opens the main page. I
want the main page to open in a new window 800 x 600 with none of
the address bar, toolbars etc. I've managed this but there are
three problems:
1. The little grey strip at the bottom that says "Done",
"Internet" etc, I think its called 'Status' still appears even
though I've set status to no.
2. The code I've used in flash to spawn the new browser
window works with Firefox but not with Internet Explorer.
3. The SWF's play slower in a browser.
I have included the code I've used below. Can anybody help?

Hello Claudine,
to .ste (I tried to translate from my German library): The file extension ".ste" characterizes the site definition files of DW. A ste file is an XML-based text file which contains information about a DW made site. These include the site name, the site address and the server model.
ste files can be imported and exported by using (translated from my German DW: 'Site -> Sites verwalten' ) 'Site > Manage Sites'. Please note it's a settings file and not a backup.
What concerns the embedding problem: Please send a link to your website in question, no matter how it looks like , so we can better analyze.

WAD: Problems when exporting to PDF with embedded .swf

I'm using Web Application Designer (WAD) 7 and have created a template with an "Export to PDF" button and an embedded .swf flash file which is an Xcelsius dashboard.
What i'm trying to do is show the information I want on my dashboard and then export that to a PDF to email out to multiple users who would be interested in the data each month. If exporting to PDF isn't the best route to get a snapshot of this dashboard out to other users and there's an easier way please let me know, but here are the issues i'm having:
1) When I have the dashboard showing the information I want and click the "Export to PDF" button, the dashboard reloads as the PDF settings window pops up and gets reset back to it's initial state.
2) If I ignore problem #1 and click on 'OK' in the Export dialog anyway after selecting PDF settings, my Adobe Reader pops up but then shows a message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages". Basically it doesn't see the .swf as being a component to take a snapshot of and print on a PDF. I did try adding a text component just so there was something on the template and I then get a PDF with that text component showing and no .swf snapshot.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? I've tried using the BEx Broadcaster with the 'Send' option but get the same results in regards to the blank page.
Thanks as always for the help!

Thanks for the reply.
The dashboard is connected to a query in NetWeaver BI to get its data. So the request of the user is to be able to adjust the dashboard to show the information they need (well say of a certain region) and then take a snapshot of that and email it out to co-workers in Group A. Then the user will adjust the dashboard to show other data (for a different region we'll say) and take a snapshot to email out to co-workers in Group B. etc and etc.
I have looked into installing a PDFCreator print driver but that wouldn't be feasible to get it on all machines in the business. I've also looked into getting it as a .jpeg which would suffice, but am unsure if there is a way to do it with script and connect that to the dashboard when a button is pushed (will look into this). This seems like a topic for over in the Xcelsius forum now.
I used the following code within the <body></body> tags of the WAD's xhtml to embed the .swf:
<object id="dashboard" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="600" width="800" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="Movie" value="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" />
<embed src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" name="dashboard" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>

Control volume for an embedded swf file in Captivate 5

Hello everyone -
I have just searched the forum but cannot find anything on controlling the volume for an embedded swf within Captivate 5. The cap 5 palyback controls will not be used. Is there a way to control the volume ? I found info for AS 2 bur not as 3.0
Thanks much
Rick

I tried this as a solution:
I imported the .swf file to Captivate. I tried to then publish the file as as .FL4, to then reimport into Captivate.
That should give me the option to control the entire movie (sound and video) using Captivate playbar.
BUT, when i try to publish as .FL4, only the sound published, not the video.
Any suggestions?
(i have searched this site and the web in detail and have not fouind a solution),

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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

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.
Curtis

Embedded swf not playing in Captivate 4

Hi - I have embedded a flash authored swf into CP4, it is published from flash as a ver 9 swf. I am using Flash Player 10 on the PC. It's a single frame swf and contains AS3 code to make a simple rollover image popup (further development is planned but just testing for now). It works when viewed standalone in a browser or with the flash player
In CP4 when played by either previewing it or by publishing and viewing in a browser, the screen with that swf on it is a 'white screen of death'. I have tried the following:
1. clicking and unclicking synchronise with project
2. click and unclick externalize animations check box in prefs - the swf file was also manually copied over to the publish directory
3. set display for "duration of animation"..also tried 'rest of slide' and 'specific time'
4. click and unclick - 'synchronise with project'
5. Set Actionscript Version in prefs to "AS3"
6. I placed another different swf (flash ver9) onto the following slide in CP4 - this one with no Actionscript content at all - just a simple timeline based motion tween. It works!
Does anyone know if CP4 cannot accept embedded swf's with Actionscript 3 code in them?

Hi there
Oftentimes the warning about referencing Root is simply a nuisance and may be totally ignored.
I find that the animation works here on my own PC if I click Edit > Preferences... > Project node > Publish Settings node and configure for AS3.
Perhaps try that?
Cheers... Rick

Using a font embedded swf in mxml

Hello,
We need to load in fonts at runtime due to localization needs. I've got this working in an AS3 project in Flex by embedding the font in a class and then loading that swf into another class and registering the font.
What I need now is to be able to use that font class in MXML components like a spark label. I can't seem to get it to work though. I've tried referencing the swf in a style sheet, then making a style class in the CSS using that font like this:
/* Embed.css */
@font-face {
     src: url("_Arial.swf");
     fontFamily: "_Arial";
.genericTextArial
font-family: "_Arial";
fontSize: 40;
color: #000000;
Then in the MXML I have this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                  xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
     <fx:Style source="Embed.css"/>
     <s:Label text="This should display my embedded text." width="100%" styleName="genericTextArial"/>
</s:Application>
However I can't seem to get it to render. I've also tried the method of embedding the font in a text field in Flash Professional and loading in that swf and it doesn't work either. Am I missing a parameter or just going about this the wrong way?

Thank you, that worked! I actually didn't know exactly how to do that at first but I found this great blog post that explains it:
