Flash swf versus flex swf

I have a simple flex app that plays a flv. I created the same
type of app in flash cs3. during playback, if you right click on
the version made in flex, only a few options show up (print, show
debug, settings, about flash player 10). when you right click on
the flash version, all of the options show up (zoom in, zoom out,
100%, etc). If there a compiler setting or something else in the
actionscript one needs to do to make the flex version behave more
like a flash version?
thans

There are some examples out there like:
http://renaun.com/blog/2005/08/30/4/
However, I'm not sure if that works when the other SWF is
another Flex app. I tried it but was never able to get it to work
in that case.
I have a related issue with LocalConnection between 2 Flex
apps, one SWFLoader'd by the other. The problem is I need to set up
a unique LC channel between the two apps, but I also have multiple
instances of the child app ( a movie player). Even if my app only
has one player, if the app is loaded on 2 different tabs, the
LocalConnection still only talks to the one. It seems this would
always be the case, but that somehow this is never discussed in any
of the examples.

How to embed Flex swf into existing Flash?

Hello,
I am brand new to Flex, so I desperately need your help!
I have an existing Flash file, written in Flash 8. When I
open this file, it plays in Flash Player 9, the latest player I
have installed on my machine.
This Flash file tries to dynamically load about.swf, a stub
file created by the designer. It works.
I am a programmer, so I want to create my own about.swf in
Flex 2 and then substitue the existing about.swf written in Flash
with my about.swf written in Flex. The problem is that the existing
Flash file just displays a blank when I try loading about.swf
written in Flex.
Is there any way to load SWF file written in Flex 2 into an
Flash file written in Flash 8?
Thank you for your help!!!
Evgueni

I think no.
Flash 8 uses Actionscript 2.0, but Flex 2.0 uses AS3. I think
these will be incompatible, as they use different VMs.
If the two swf's exist individually, in their res[pective VM,
you can communicate between them using LocalConnection.

Flex swf loaded in Flash swf

Hi,
I have a Flex swf loaded into a Flash swf.
I have made the Flex swf transparent, so that the buttons in the Flash swf are visible.
But im unable to interact with the Flash swf buttons.
My Flex swf is working happyily
The Flex swf overlays the Flash swf.
If i change the scrollRect of the Flex swf so the Flex swf is not overlaying the Flash swf i can successfully interact with the Flash swf buttons.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Kyle

Thanks Alex,
I actually found an old post on a forum where you recommended a similar solution (mousesheld.visible = false).
This seems to work although it messes with dragging (my Popups at least).
But i can work with that for now, thanks for your help.

Kyle

Passing values to an embedde SWF in flex 2

Hello,
I am embedded an swf (which takes flash variables) in flex
2,how can i pass values to the
embedded swf through flash variables.

kaushik

Hi Rajendra,
what u can pass to a function module is the parameter which are in import and tables of RFC .so u have to declare a variable as a type of your internal table which may be type of structure or table. then in your RFC u have to copy that into a variable of function module and go for ur logic ...

How to change index.template.html to put a HTML table side by side with Flex swf displayed in IE

I created my own index.template.html using <object> tag to hold Flex swf file, but it only works for FireFox, not IE.
I did not use the original FlexBuilder's index.template.html and the JavaScripts to generate the HTML wrapper.
Here is my index.template.html:

I just found 1 tricky solution.
Declare a variable containing the asset URL in the HTML, before the  part. (Sample below.)
In the script (_edge.js), use this variable instead of the asset URL string . (replace the string constant with the variable)
In the server script, generate the HTML by changing the variable definition.
This is ugly...
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

<!DOCTYPE html>

How to make a Loadvars sendAndLoad request from embedded swf in flex

I've developed a simple flex app with embedded swf. Basically swf use Loadvars to get data from particular database table. Ok, when I tested the flex app on localhost it is works fine and embedded swf make its sendAndLoad calls correctly.
But! When it is located on the web server swf not work correctly. I meant there is not returned values by sendAndLoad method.
Well, to make some points: questionContentLoadVars.img1 holds(return) the string from php call. This "img1" is an empty returned string only in Flex app placed in the web server otherwise it returns correct value from php call?
When gameplay22.swf is standallone works!
When gameplay22.swf is in HTML page works!
When gameplay22.swf is embedded in FLex and executed in LOCALHOST works!
But in the web server this embedded gameplay22.swf doesn`t works!
What is the problem with it?
//* here is flash(swf) part of gameplay22.swf file which is embedded in the Flex by SWFLOader(gameplay22.swf)
    questionContentLoadVars = new LoadVars();
    questionContentLoadVars.onLoad = function(success){
    if (success){
    slidingSvityk_mc.descripTA_mc.description_ta.text = questionContentLoadVars.theContent;
    else
    slidingSvityk_mc.description_ta.text = "err!";
    function loadQuestionData(sectionID){
    var tablename ='questionsgeo'; // database tablename
    //sending variables to the PHP script
    questionContentLoadVars.row = sectionID;
    questionContentLoadVars.tablename = tablename;
    questionContentLoadVars.id_ = "";
    questionContentLoadVars.img1 = "";
    questionContentLoadVars.sendAndLoad("getQuestionRec.php",questionContentLoadVars,"_POST") ;
    function showLoadedGalleryImages():Void{
    infphp.text = questionContentLoadVars.img1;
    var img1Bulk:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
    img1Bulk = imgGalleryContainer_mc.img1Bulck_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(img1Bulk, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
    img1Bulk._x = 0;
    img1Bulk._y = 0;
    image_mcl.loadClip(questionContentLoadVars.img1, img1Bulk);
    //* And here is Flex part of embedded SWFLOader(gameplay22.swf) component
    <s:SWFLoader includeIn="user" width="1024" height="768" horizontalCenter="0" source="gameplay22.swf" verticalCenter="0"/>

Thanks kglag, for trying to help,
As i posted in another forum the problem was in the free flex example which i used to add another state and by using SWFLoader to embed my swf file.
Now i was created my own flex app and add SWFLoader to embed my swf and voila - it works!
There is no cross-domain loads the loaded content is in the same domain.
So, again thanks!

Flash swf loading flashbuilder swf

is there a trick for having a Flash CS4 website swf be able to load a flashbuilder4 generated swf?
doesn't show up.
i remember an issue from Flex3 concerning it locking up the gui unless you had a flex3 canvas or whatnot loaded prior.
fb swf can load by itself fine via its html, and flash swf can load other flash swf's, but i can't get the flash swf to load the fb4 swf.
thx

If you have used fl.. classes in the CS4 swf it might prevent the Flex SWF
from loading, but usually you get errors.

Trusted Local Flex swf files access to internet?

Hi All,
We're developing a desktop game client using Flex and require
a local swf file to make loader calls to the Internet. I know about
the sandbox issues but have read that placing a text file such as
myflexapp.cfg into the
C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust directory can
let the Flash player know about swf files that are trusted. The
file myflexapp.cfg has the absolute path to the directory location
of my Flex generated swf file - which is the debug directory of my
Flex project. I also tried targeting the swf file explicitly rather
than the entire directory.
When I test, the swf file continues to just quietly fail to
load any resources from the internet. Also, I do not get any
warning dialogs telling me that a swf file is trying to access the
internet and if I wish to allow it. Have I missed something? has
anyone had any success with using the Global Flash Player Trust
directory to allow a local Flex generated swf file access to the
internet? Also I cannot see the mms.cfg file in the
C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash directory as is described in the
Adobe Flex 3 Help chapter "Overview of permission controls".
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
Regards
Tom

Call Flex swf inside extension object

Hi,
I am building a user application using Flex 3. The application allows user to input information using input components such as text areas, etc. The application will create an xml file from user info. The application needs to save xml file in user's local hard drive. For user convenience, we want to be able to call the application from inside a DW menu. This requires an extension which implies installing an mxp. To avoid multiple installs, we want to deliver the application inside the extension. This involves creating an extension object that has my Flex app embedded in it. I have been able to create the extension object, have it show up in my insert bar, and deliver my Flex swf inside the extension. However, when I type inside a text area in my swf, I am not able to. It acts as if disabled. I explicitly set my text area as editable=true and enabled=true. Why? Here is my extension:
<html>
<head>
<title>WBT Ouline Tool</title>
<style>
body { margin: 0px; overflow:hidden }
</style>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function createTextFile(textItem) {
//future code to create xml file will go here.
//it will use DW FILE I/O APIs
</script>
</head>

Embedd SWF into Flex

Hi,
I am trying to load a coolaris Gallery into a Flex Application (it's a SWF).
Now I have to fit its dimensions into my container.
My first approach was to simply set the SWFLoaders dimensions, but that only scales the content (it is being zoomed)
I want that the spaces are getting smaller and the appereance is not zoomed (is kept), like its done if you embedd it into html.
The properties maintainAspectRation or scaleContent did not work either how expected.
Any idea for that ?
Second Question is how could I make the fullscreen modus work from the embeded swf ?
When I now enter Full-screen Modus, my main application is going top full screen and not the embedded swf.
Idea ?
Cheers
Marc

I would not expect that to work. The Flash 8 app would set the API level
for the flex 4 SWF and flex 4 needs Flash 10.

Trouble comunicating from flex to swf, when the swf is embedded

i'm a newbie to flex/air so i'm hoping there is going to be a
simple answer to this problem. it's caused a massive headache!
i have been using a swfLoader to load a swf, then triggering
function calls within the swf from flex by using the following in
the script tag of my mxml
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(myMP3player.content);
mc.loadMP3Player("file:///"+path, artist, title);
where loadMP3Player is the function in the linked swf and
myMP3player is the id of the swfLoader.
this works great, no problems... but when i change the code
so that the swf is embedded, rather than loaded at runtime the code
above gives a
"ReferenceError:Error #1069 Property loadMP3Player not found"
error
when i try to trigger the function.
i have tried many different ways of referencing and embedding
the swf, all have the same result. i.e. swf loads fine and the flex
project compiles without errors, but i am unable to call the
function.
how do i reference the function in the swf when the swf is
embedded?
any help will be really appreciated.
btw: i need to embed the swf as i am distributing the
finished article as an air app.

Relief - well sort of.
I uninstalled the last Flash version (10.3 latest built that I downloaded a couple of days ago) on all my browsers.
Then I downloaded the older 10.2 and installed, and the problem was gone. I'm on MacOSX Lion, by the way.
So this must be a bug in the last flashplayer.
Cost me five hours and a bucket of sweat.
And from now on, I'll be pretty scared to give the flashplayer an update, that's a fact.

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.
