Flash with swings

How can I embed a flash video in swing panel?

Flash is proprietary technology and they don't play nice with others. Same reason why you can't load an MSWord doc in a Java GUI. If Flash WAS an open technology, then perhaps someone would/could build a plugin or some way to do it.

Integrating flash with swings

Hi,
Im looking to integrate flash with swings. This is for a desktop application, not a web based application. I was looking for some help on this, if someone could help me with it.

Flash replaces Swing?

I recently downloaded an evaluation version of jFlash from sesma.com and it seems that Flash makes sense as an alternative for building impressive front end GUI's. Although It took me a while to get up to speed, in the end I could control Flash movies as Java objects. Pretty impresive. What do you guys think?

If you think about it, the problem with swing is that developers and graphics artists need to be the same person in order to get the job done. When I write swing code, it might work like a jet engine, but it looks like I just took a dump on the screen. I guess you need to be really good a writing a lot of code to make swing look good (too much work -for me at least). Products like jFlash, would problably allow Java developers to work on the stuff that makes the application solid, and in parallel Flash developers can write flash adhereing to whatever the Java developer specs out. And in the end, you end up with a solid app, and a beautiful front end.

Flash in Swing

Is there any way that you can import and use flash in swing?

I am still trying but if you have Flash 5.0 you will get
flash.jar file.
Any way try to get Activex control or Flash Player version 5.0 with
that you will get the Flash.jar File and how to use it. I think to use this jar file Flash version need to be 2 or 3
I tried a lot but unable to do. It has all functions like getFrame,play(),stop.
If you get info please mail me

Can I build a GUI application with SWING only without [import java.awt.*;]

I have seen several threads (in forums), books and tutorials about SWING and I see that they all mix SWING with AWT (I mean they import both Swing and AWT in their code).
The conclusion that comes out is:
It is good to learn about SWING and forget AWT as it won't be supported later. I have decided to do so, and I never include <<import java.awt.*;>> in my code.
But I see that you cannot do much without <<import java.awt.*;>>. For example this line which changes the background color:
<<frame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.red)>>
works only with <<import java.awt.*;>>. I have seen that codes in this and other forums import awt to change the background. Why is that?
After all, I wonder, what can I do;
My question is, can I change the background (and of course do all other things listener, buttons etc) without using <<import java.awt.*;>>.
I would like to avoid using <<import java.awt.*;>> and using awt since my program will not work later.
In addition, I believe there is no point to learn awt, which later will not exist.
I know, I must have misunderstood something. I would appreceate it very much, if anyone could give me even a short answer.
Thank you in advance,
JMelsi

Since swing is a layer on top of awt, AWT will exist for as long as swing does.
If sun does ever remove AWT they will have to replace it something else swing can layer on to and you will probably only have to replace your import statements.
The main difference is the way there drawn to the screen.
You can do custom drawing on swing components but you can't on AWT.
If your using a desktop PC system it's probably best to use swing just in case you wish to do some custom drawing.
awt uses less memory than swing and is faster but swing can be extended. awt comes only as standard.
Say for example you wish to implement a JButton with a ProgressBar below the button text, this can be done with swing!

Stop and Play All Child MovieClips in Flash with Actionscript 3.0

I am stuck with the ActionScript here. I have a very complex animated flash movie for eLearning. These contain around 10 to 15 frames. In each frame I am having multiple movie clip symbols. The animation has been created using a blend of scripting and also normal flash animation.
Now I want to create pause and play functionality for the entire movie. I was able to create the pause function but when i try to play the movie it behaves very strange.
I was able to develop the pause functionality by refering to the below mentioned links:
http://www.unfocus.com/2009/12/07/stop-all-child-movieclips-in-flash-with-actionscript-3-0 /
http://www.curiousfind.com/blog/174
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated as i am approaching a deadline.
I am pasting the code below:

import flash.events.TimerEvent;

This movie is an animated movie from the start to end. I mean to say that though it stops at certain keyframes in the timeline it stops for only a certain time and then moves on to the next animation sequence.
Its not an application where the user can interact.
On clicking the play button i want the movie to play normally as it was playing before. If the user has not clicked on the pause button it would anyhow play from start to finish.
Is there anyway where i could send in the fla file?

Help:How to publish a Flash with full screen HTML

Please, guys, be kind enough to teach me how to publish a
Flash with full screen size in HTML. I have tried to search the
board, but so far no luck.
Originally, I want my .SWF to keep changing its background.
The solution I got was placing colored stage-sized rectangles on
the bottom layer. Then I don't want the viewers to see the HTML
area where I cannot seem to control smooth color changes.
So, after I construct a Flash file with backdrop-color
changing by the method I mentioned above, how do I publish it with
full screen mode in HTML, as you can see
here? Help!
Thanks in advance, guys.

Here's an AS2 and a AS3 version I got from David Stiller
2 small details you have to add 1 in publish settings set Dimensions to percent 100 100
and in the html set <style>body {margin: 0; padding: 0}</style>
// AS2
import flash.display.BitmapData;
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG():Void {
beginBitmapFill(tile);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
fillBG();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onResize = fillBG;
Stage.addListener(listener);
// AS3
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmp:Tile = new Tile(50, 50);
var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(50, 50);
tile.draw(bmp);
function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
graphics.endFill();
fillBG();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);

Hallo.
Can anybody help me to add an actionscript line(s) into attach file "newXML.fla".
In this file I have a script to play mp3 files from xml list (this works).
I also add button to load new mp3 fileslist from new xml file. But I don't know how.

Flash with wmode="transparent" doesn't work with non-US keyboard (like FF)

Safari has the same issue as FireFox (which they are finally fixing) :
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347185
If you use Flash with wmode="transparent" then it treats all keyboards as if they are US keyboards.
For example try G.ho.st http://G.ho.st/vc.html with a non-US keyboard

I too am having issues. I am using Shockwave Flash 11.4.402.287 on Firefox 16.0.1. I am running on Windows 7 Enterprise. Disabling the plugin allows me to load pages quickly, but I am not able to view videos or play games. Firefox freezes upon loading a page that uses Flash. It remains frozen for an unacceptable length of time, then it will unfreeze on its own accord. The freeze affects the entire computer. I cannot interact with the desktop or the Windows start bar, and can only close Firefox by forcibly ending the "firefox.exe" process via Task Manager.
This is not the first version of Firefox that has displayed this problem to me. Firefox 15 also froze upon using Flash.
I had hoped that the latest Firefox update would solve this problem, but apparently not. Until then, I am forced to use Chrome, which is quite inconvenient for me as I am not at all familiar with that browser and am constantly clicking the settings button when I want to to go to my home page.
These freezes are incredibly frustrating and annoying. If Mozilla wishes to build a better Internet, they should try to make their browser a program that doesn't tempt me towards rage-quitting YouTube.

Text on some sites flash with yellow background

Since upgrading to 3.1.1 I've noticed that some pages have text areas that flash with a yellow background when loading or when an ad on that page changes. Huffingtonpost.com is the most common offender, but it has happened on other sites as well.
The yellow background "flash" seems to be contained within a box or frame in which the text sits. It's brief and then the background reverts to white.
Just to be clear, I'm not referring to any graphic that is Flash-based. I mean an area on the page that flashes a different color before reverting to its normal white.
What's going on?

How to save a flash with .SWF

Hi, I have the 'Adobe Flash CS3 Professional', and I want to
know if you could tell me how to save a flash with .SWF.
When I want to create a new project, I can chose between nine
types of documents, and I want to make a flash for a website. What
type of document would you chose if you were me ?
I can't write the name of the diferent types of documents,
because I have this programme in Spanish.
Can you help me ?
Thank you

FLA is the native source format - make your movie and then
publish to SWF -
you can not create an SWF initially - SWF is the
exported/published format
