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.
Regards,
Kyle

Problems loading Adobe Flash SWF file
Our users are experienceing problems loading Adobe Flash SWF
files.
One example of a problem file is:
http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/popup_acr8_accessibility.html
User traffic is flowing through a Cisco ASA firewall - these
problems do not seem to occur from home networks or a Netscreen
firewall. The Cisco ASA does NOT have http deep packet inspection
turned on, and any traffic initiated by clients inside the firewall
should be allowed. The symptom is that Internet Explorer will begin
to download the video, but will hang at some point along the way
(for this particular URL it hangs at about 7%). No error messages
are displayed, but the video never displays on the screen either. I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have run into this
before, or if someone can explain what is different about this type
of file from regular Adobe Flash, that might help figure out what
the ASA is objecting to. The ASA does not appear to generate any
log messages about denying this type of traffic either.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...Thanks, but I use publish/export settings with GPU hardware acceleration and flash version 11.2 (and 11.8) but nothing happening.
And why gif file is not all transparenty then I insert on lightblue background? It can't export good quality? Also I use Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Edge Animate. And nothing happening. Egde animate file .oam is not good for old website navigation. It can't be inserted in freeshop site from navigation... I use logo file .oam just for example here - http://e-shoptagras.graphicsrim.eu
In reality I want swf file, but we don't find why logo flickering? here http://tagraseshop.graphicsrim.eu
All file's are transparenty - https://mega.co.nz/#!f8B2CD5R!J8uCJt9Sdq4Suz4HLhTHz8bzJcSWXMBIKcKZgkD3z8c
I need help! Please! -
Load time issues FLEX swf vs. FLASH swf
Hello,
We are building FLex and Flash apps running on Flash 10.1. In our situation, the load time for a 1080x768 swf is slower when building in Flex than in flash. We have tried useing the preinitialize event to set at least a loading message, but the delay happens before the preinitialize event. It seems to take 1-2 seconds to load the FLex API perhaps? The only visula we can see is the background color of the stage. Even with a simple nearly empty main canvas, the load is slow enough to be noticable. More importanly it is faster when using a FLASH swf ( or pure AS3), so it must be related to the FLex aspect. Is there anyway to cache the common classes or maybe exclude some that are not used?
Thanks,
Jeff SchuenkeThe main point of RSLs is to gamble on improving download time of the SWF at
networks speeds. The gamble is that someone has already loaded the RSL so
it gets picked up off the browser cache at hard-drive speeds. If it isn't
true, you pay a higher penalty because you are loading an RSL that has code
in it you aren't using. That's why the total payload is more. For the
record, only the SWF or the SWZ gets loaded, not both. But even then the
total payload would be more.
At home, my DSL/WIFI network gets me about 70KB/sec, so saving 300K would be
a noticable savings. If you are loading off a hard disk, 300K probably
won't be felt.
The startup sequence of a SWF over a network (http or https):
-start streaming in SWF bytes
-when the first frame is downloaded (generally about 80-100K) see how many
bytes are left to download and if there is a lot, show a progress bar
-load any RSLs and wait for their download and initialization
-update the progress bar until the rest of the SWF downloads
-after the SWF downloads:
-initialize styles
-initialize resources
-prepare embedded fonts
-setup managers for popups, tooltips, dragging if needed
-instantiate Application
-verify and initialize all classes needed by Application
-dispatch Application preinitialize
-instantiate the initial set of children for the Application
-dispatch Application initialize
-update progress bar to show "initializing"
-start validation of Application and its children
-continue to do so until all children are measured and layed out
-dispatch Application creationComplete
-add Application to stage (actually systemManager)
-dispatch Application applicationComplete
The startup sequence of a SWF on a hard drive is different. The entire SWF
must be sucked into memory, unzipped (SWFs are zipped by default) and only
then do we get to the steps where we show a progress bar, check for RSLs,
etc.
At 3MB, there might be a noticeable hit. You can find a big image file and
zip it to see if it comes out to about 3MB. Then use the file system to
copy it and see how long that takes and then unzip it and see how long that
takes.
Another place that causes delay is in the validation of children. If the
children's size are not stable right away (because data is coming in that
affects their size) then several validation passes might be taking place.
A common error is to create every child in the app, even ones that aren't
seen or needed right away. That adds work at validation time and delays the
startup process.
I would recommend that you use the performance profiler in Flex Builder to
see where all the time is being spent.
However, 3MB is a big SWF. Use of modules to chop off stuff not needed until
"later" is recommended and will probably be the answer. -
Hello all,
I have a Flex app that loads in a swf using 'SWFLoader' tag.
the SWFloader and the swf being loaded in are the same height and
width (see attached code) Now, the SWF getting loaded in is also
468 X 351 however the designers that made it have crazy amount of
random Movie Clips EVERYWHERE that isn't on the stage. My guess is
that the actual height and width of the SWF is close to 1000 X
1000. When I load this SWF in to my SWFLoader it scales everything
down so all of the MovieClips are inside of this SWFLoader rather
than just the SWF's Stage. Any Suggestions?"whomba" <[email protected]> wrote in

Try wrapping it as a component with the Flex component kit.
That way you
get to specify the bounding box.

SWF loaded into MainNav SWF - Rollovers & Links Don't Work
Hi all,
This is probably a very basic question!
I have a Fla file with Text and Movie clips in it. The Text
is animated when rollover occurs and thumbnail images click and
link to the full size versions.
It works when published (Say "LatestText.SWF").
But when I call it from my Main Nave FLA/SWF, upon loading
the Text.SWF, the rollover anim doesn't happen and the picture
links don't work when clicked.
I have the latest flash player installed and the actual
weblink cursor appears as if the SWF acknowledges everything is
working, but nothing dynamic actually works.
Any Ideas? THANKS ALL! Much appreciated!I'll try to flesh it out, although I don't think there's need
for any code behaviours as they all work fine - until the info.SWF
is loaded into the main.SWF.
So i'll try my best to flesh this out:-
I have a Navigation FLA which publishes to SWF (at the moment
Allow access to Local Files - tried network).
This Nav.FLA is the main bulk of the website, it has all the
links and window panes.
I have a downloaded window pane style component which is an
autoscroller (in case this could be the problem).
I can load my info.SWF's straight into the container, by way
of an Actionscript Anim Frame (1) and when the Nav.SWF is tested or
published, it indeed loads in the smaller info.SWF no problems and
scrolls around beautifully,
The Info.SWF's I'm creating is just basically embedded
dynamic text, with a few movie clips that have Behaviours when
clicked or rolled-over.
These Behaviours do not seem to work when the Nav.SWF's
window pane loads in the Info.SWF - they APPEAR clickable (mouse
pointer changes to hand) but nothing clicks and THEN works. The
rollover animations (actioned via behaviours from LABELS - not
frame numbers) also do not work?
Any ideas from those that know to those that struggle would
be greatly appreciated! It's the first time I've encountered a
problem with my Flash website that I can't seem to find an answer
to in all my tutorials and books!
There's a challenge! -
Tweens don't work in multiple external AS2 SWFs loaded by AS3 SWF
When I try to load a single external AS2 SWF in an AS3 parent
SWF, scripted tweens using the mx.tween class work fine. However,
when I load two or more external AS2 SWFs, the first will work, but
in subsequent SWFs the tweens do not animate. Does anyone have a
solution?
Related post:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=147637SymTsb,
So what is the code to do that? To delete the TWEEN variable?
easeTime = .5;
var day_handlerX:Tween = new
mx.transitions.Tween(daynightlabel_mc, "_x",
mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, daynightlabel_mc._x,
(left_point+daynightlabel_mc_leftDifference), easeTime, true);
day_handlerX.onMotionFinished = function() {
trace("day_handlerX="+day_handlerX);
trace("day_handlerX onMotionFinished triggered");
delete day_handlerX;
trace("deleted day_handlerX="+day_handlerX);
does not work. the TWEEN object is still there.

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

How to Load/Unload external SWF
Hey all, I'm in a desperate struggle to meet a deadline for college coursework. I am unable to UNLOAD an external SWF file that I have put inside another SWF file. The problem that is occurring is, although it loads successfully, when I attempt to navigate to another page after viewing the external SWF, I expect it to close as it goes on to another page however, it remains in place. If i then go back on to the page that it is loading from, it will start to keep adding more and more SWF's. The print screens should explain it easier... Below i'll post the code that I'm using currently. The external SWF I am trying to load/unload is an interactive hangman game (whether it being interactive has an effect I do not know), but any and all help with this would be seriously appreciated!
The code currently being used is:
var _swfLoader:Loader;
var _swfContent:MovieClip;
loadSWF("Real Hangman.swf");
function loadSWF(path:String):void {
var _req:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
_req.url = path;
_swfLoader = new Loader();
setupListeners(_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo);
_swfLoader.load(_req);
function setupListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void {
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addSWF);
dispatcher.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloadSWF);
function preloadSWF(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var _perc:int = (event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal) * 100;
// swfPreloader.percentTF.text = _perc + "%";
function addSWF(event:Event):void {
event.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addSWF);
event.target.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloadSWF);
_swfContent = event.target.content;
_swfContent.addEventListener("close", unloadSWF);
addChild(_swfContent);
function unloadSWF(event:Event):void {
_swfLoader.unloadAndStop();
removeChild(_swfContent);
_swfContent = null;
This printscreen is showing what it looks like in the Flash view (plain background and external SWF loads when this SWF is published)
What it looks like when loaded as published swf
Picture of the external SWF working inside the other SWF
Picture of it not being able to unload when i navigate to another page!
Finally, a picture of it doubling up when i proceed to go on the 'game' page again, it just keeps loading the SWF's rather than unloading them!for example, file1 consits of two buttons, and also considered as main page. As i click on these two buttons , it will lead me go to open the external file2.swf, and file3.swf respectively. (file2.swf and file3.swf could have other navigation buttons, however, i am just simplify here).
the code you provided is working fine. but i want to totally remove/unlink the orginal file (file1.swf) when i click on either buttons which could lead me to other page (file1.swf or file2.swf).
Besides that, in file2.swf and file3.swf could have another "back" button to turn it back to the main page (file1.swf). When the user click on that back button, the file2.swf will unloaded...and file1.swf will be called back again...
can it be done?
so sorry if my poor explanation makes you confuse..
thank you. -
Flex Generated Swf Donot load in Flash On Publishing.
Hello!
I am facing one problem,I made a calendar.swf in flex.
and I am trying to load that calendar.swf file in flash file get-calendar using Loader Class.
calendar.swf is coming fine when I press cntrl+Enter
i mean during compiling swf.
But when I publish that using F12 then that flex swf donot load.
What is the reason,,I dont understand it.
Pls help!
Thankscalendar.swf is compiled to run in the local-with-networking sandbox, while get-calendar.swf runs in local-with-filesystem. Loading one into the other causes a security error. Simplest solution is to change get-calendar.fla to local-with-networking:
Publish Settings (Flash tab). Select Access network only in Local playback security. -

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!!!
EvgueniI 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.

Calling flex functions from flash swf (AS3)
Hi all, i'm stuck with communication between loaded AS3 SWF
from Flash and Flex3 project. I use SWFLoader for runtime loading
SWF, call functions inside SWF, but cannot find the way to call
functions declared in Flex project. I try to use ExternalInterface
class, but it does not help me, or maybe i use it incorrect. Is
there a method to call Flex user declared functions from Flash SWF?
All i need is a syntax sample, thank you in advance!Also, application.application will point to the top-level app
scope, even from a loaded swf.
I believe parentApplication will resolve to what you usually
want as well.
For looser coupling, consider using a bubbling event.

Loading a Flash 8 swf that loads another Flash 8 swf
I'm trying to get a Flex swfloader component to load a Flash
8 swf file at runtime, this works fine although the swf file...
main.swf loads other swf files into levels e.g.
main.swf contains:
loadmovienum("menubar.swf",2);
Everything works as expected unless I put main.swf in a Flex
swf, where the menubar doesn't load up. Everything is in the same
local directory and works fine if I run main.swf outside of Flex.
Please help! I have run out of ideas.
kimbHey! It seems that when you load a Flash 8 (or AVM1) swf into
a Flex application (or any AVM2 swf), it is unable to utilize its
_levels correctly. To circumvent this issue, try creating an empty
movieclip called level2, and that should work.
Let me know if this work, because another issue can arise if
you try to load multiple swfs on that same movieclip.
