well you can publish the the other FLA, which would give you
an HTML file, upload that and the SWF then link to the SWFs' HTML
page.

Loading external swf file in a new window

Hi,
I've got a few .swf files with video tutorials I've created using Captivate 4.
I wanted to link them so I've created a main screen with menu with buttons in Flash.
I've added AS to load the external swf files but they load in the same window. How can I load these .swf files in seperate window so that you could get back to the main window after you've finished watching?
Here's my code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    myLoader.load(myURL);
    addChild(myLoader);
I'm also attaching screenshot with menu in flash

I've deleted the line and now the code lookes like that:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    addChild(myLoader);
Unfortunately, it doesn't load the .swf file when you click on the button...

Open a pdf file in a new window

How do you have a pdf file open up in a new window in
DW8?

If you are coding a page with a HTML Transitional doctype,
you can link to
the PDF file, and assign a target="_blank" option to the
link. If you are
coding a page with an XHTML doctype, then you would need to
do this
differently if you want the page to validate.

How to open a swf file in a new NON-browser window

Hi, I'm trying to create a page where you click on the video thumbnail and the video opens up in its own window. I'd like the video to open at a specific size that I determine, not the browser, and I want it to be scalable. Here is what I have so far as a test file "http://petoweb.com/telos/TelosPlayerTEST.html"
Here is what I am trying to emulate "http://www.jonesdaylondon.com/recruitment_videos/" (just click any of the videos)
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

if you are using AS2
try GG jsWindow v2 component
you can open a popup window with no tollbar,statusbar,menubar, and specified width and height of the window.
download here
if you are using AS3, or if you know javascript,
you can also call a javascript command windows.open() from actionscript
this method only works if you are viewing the swf inside a html loaded from web server.

How can I control a button from one swf file to another swf file?

Hi,
I have a main.swf file. From that file I am accessing the external.swf file which is an external file.
Now, how can I write code on my main.swf file for the button which is on my external.swf file?
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn (This buttons is actually on external.swf file, but I want to write code on main.swf file to execute it on external.swf) how can I control one swf button on other swf file?
Thanks.

Here's some example code that you should be able to adapt to your needs.
// create a new loader object instance...
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// make the download request...
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
// add a complete event listener to the loader
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// start the actual loading process...
loader.load(request);
// create a new empty movieClip instance, you will put the loaded movie into this movieClip once its loaded
var externalMovie:MovieClip;
// this function is called when the download has finished and the file is ready to use...
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
   // set the contents of the loaded movie to the new empty movieClip...
           externalMovie = MovieClip(event.target.content);
   // add this new movie to the display list...
   addChild(externalMovie);
Now you can refer to the loaded movie with the instance name "externalMovie". So if, for instance, you want to address a button in the loaded movie, you could write something like this on the main timeline:
externalMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
function btnClickClose(event:MouseEvent):void {

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

How can i open pc .swf files

How do I open PC .swf files? Dialogue message:The document “Chapter7_review.swf” could not be opened. AppleScript Editor cannot open files in the “AppleScript Editor Document” format."

It's normally adobe flash format.
If you don't want to install flash (Lion does not install it) use the 'google chrome' browser which has it's own flash player.
I use Lion > Safari > with No Flash installed and just use the develop menu option to open the page in chrome if necessary..

How could you open, download .swf file on ipad?

I 'd like to open a swf. file on ipad? How can I do?
Do I download an app? Which ones?
My file is a interactive magazine!!
Thanks
PS: I'm french, so please could you explain me in cool english!

If you can convert a .swf file to PDF, you would be able to open it in iBooks.
Apparently those converters do exist.
Google or similar are your friends.
Was that English cool enough for you?

Opening SWF Files in the Application window

Hello Everyone,
We have a problem in opening .swf files in our application.
We had quick time movies(.mov) which we used to open and
play inside the application window, using QuickTime Framework APIs
in the code.
Presently we had converted these quicktime movies(.mov) into
.swf files and we are unable to open the same using Quick Time
Framework in MacOSX.
Can you please suggest me as how should I proceed, i.e which
framework should I use in the code to open and play .swf files in
the application window?
It will be better, if you can send me a small sample code to
use in my application for MacOSX.
Awaiting for your kind reply,
Thanking you,
With Best regards,
Anil.

Firefox 3.6 when I open a SWF file, a wrong mouse click, it show a recursive open window until the PC resource is used up or the system hang up, I try to reinstall firefox but not solved.

Windows XP SP3, flash player 10.2, Shockwave 11.5.9.240 , when I open a SWF file with firefox 3.6.15, it shows some options to choose action and I made a wrong click. The firefox nightmare is a "open recursive windows" until the system hang. When I use Internet Explorer 8 to open it, it is fine, Try to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but in vain, how can I restore it?

You don't have the Shockwave Flash Player installed for Firefox. You may have the ActiveX version installed for IE, but Firefox needs the Plugin version. And Shockwave 11.5.9.240 that is installed for Firefox isn't the same thing.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
''Or maybe get the previous '''r102''' version from here. IMO, there's problems with the latest version of Flash.'' <br />
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the
last frame of the SWF to be called - is that right?
I am not sure I am doing it correctly...

When i try to open a .swf file, it goes to adobe device central as default

when i try to open a .swf file, it goes to adobe device central as default. i can't seem to open it in adobe flash????

You likely need to change the default application(s) assigned for opening files to point to the new ones. HOw you do that depends on which operating system you have. If you search Google you should be able to find out how to change the default programs for different files.
