How to link into certain part of swf file through XML?

Hi,
I wonder if we can use XML to link into certain section of a SWF file?
I have purchased a carousel which is composed mainly by AS3 and XML, it contains of 6 images linking to 6 different section of a swf file. From where should I modify to add-in the sub-button onto the carousel image? How should I modify the XML when I click on the sub-button, it will link into certain section of a swf file?
Looking very forward to any of your help! Many Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Evwo

Ready - made carousels usually need very little customization work limited to uploading your own images and writing the path to them in the xml file, you're supplied with.
Some carousels will include options for customizing the text displayed in the buttons. You just need to look for this section in the xml file and change the text accoridng to your needs.
For example if you have the following xml:
<thumb
type="image"
imageURL="/path to image on the server/image1.jpg"
captionText="caption text"
captionText2="caption text"
/>
you can specify 2 texts for image description and it's place on the server

This is the AS3 forum and your posting involves AS2 code. You should repost in the AS2 forum...
http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript
Aside from that, your problem might lie in the following lines...
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sub_container1", 1);
loadMovie(sub_SWFPath[1].attributes.url, "sub_container1");
You create the new movieclip, sub_container1, in the _root, but you do not assign the loadMovie to load into that same movieclip (unless you have a _lockroot = true assigned in your sub-swf). In any case, you should repost in the AS2 forum to pursue resolution.

How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file

SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI format without losing quality?

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI (or another video) format without losing quality?

As long as you don't have code in your animation then just hit File->Export->Export Movie, then configure the options.
Here's an article on exporting sound, images and video. Just skip on down to exporting AVI and it explains the process. The codec is in the Video Compression section. When you click Settings for Video Compression, the codec is in the drop-down at the top. There's various kinds but to get lossless quality AVI you'll have to choose Uncompressed / None for full quality. Again, the file will be huge and you'll need to use another program (like Adobe Media Encoder) or Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, etc, depending on what format you intend to compress it ultimately.

How do I allow users to upload personal files through website?

How do I allow users to upload personal files through our website?
I am trying to allow the visitors the ability to upload images for a future contest we will be hosting. I am trying to build a submit form with personal fields (already got this done) along with a field they can upload 1 or 2 images. I want the form to send me an email with details along with image files. I have a BC webbasic+ account and I am using Muse for my web editing.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
You could apply a "file attachment" field within the web form. If needing more than 1 file attachment you'll need to access your form code and hard-code the additional field.
The form will collect the file(s) and will be held within the case details under "related files". You can also assign a workflow to recieve notifications however only 1 file will appear in each email. To see the other files you'll need to access your order details.
All this can be create and managed within your site's admin. yoursite.com/admin
Within the site admin...

Firefox opening links into certain applications

Is it possible to make Firefox open certain links in other installed applications? for example open the Google play application link into the Google play, not in Firefox.

Try to ask in the daily thread or create a new thread on the MozillaZine Builds forum, maybe someone there knows an answer.

Is there a way to create links to certain parts of a video?

I would like to have links at certain time stamps within my video (which is a recording of my screen I did not use Power Point), this way I can call out important points and the viewer can go straight to them. Is this possible in Adobe Presenter 9?

Yes but you will have to create some custom JavaScript to do this.
Also you should be aware that the "Required" property is only processed when the form is submitted to a scripted web page or "mailto:" process.

How can I import or convert a .swf file into iMovie 8

I've been searching with no luck for a way to convert a flash animation (.swf) file into a format that I can import into iMovie 8. Ideally, this would involve freeware or very inexpensive software. It is important that I maintain the quality (and audio) of the original swf file.
Can anyone suggest a route?
Many thanks.

The easiest method is to use screen capture software to "record" the .swf file as it plays.
Since .swf files use vector graphics you can scale it up in dimension (to fit your iMovie Project needs) without any loss in quality.
I'm a happy user of SnapzProX http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ as it records in QuickTime formats.

How to import a in InDesign generated swf file into flash pro

My Flash Pro does not allow to import the in InDesign CS 5.5 generated swf file.
Any suggestions?

Like this?

import fl.display.ProLoader;
var fl_ProLoader:ProLoader;
//Mit dieser Variable wird verfolgt, ob Sie die SWF-Datei laden oder entladen möchten
var fl_ToLoad:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF(event:MouseEvent):void
    if(fl_ToLoad)
        fl_ProLoader = new ProLoader();
        fl_ProLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg"));
        addChild(fl_ProLoader);
    else
        fl_ProLoader.unload();
        removeChild(fl_ProLoader);
        fl_ProLoader = null;
    // Umschalten, ob die SFW-Datei geladen oder entladen werden soll
    fl_ToLoad = !fl_ToLoad;

Can I create more than one URL link in a single Flash (SWF) file?

I created a simple SWF slideshow in Flash with 5 slides. I was able to link one URL to the whole file by adding an alpha button.
What I can't figure out is how to add a URL link to each slide. The SWF file i sused on a website and I would like to be able to click on a particular slide as it is playing to go the a site or page that applies to that slide.
Is there a way or code I can use to do this??
This is the code I am currently using for the button now.
ja_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClick);
function mouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void
var request = new URLRequest("http://www.jakeandamos.com/");
navigateToURL (request,"_blank");
I am just learning this stuff so I can use your help, Thanks!

You cannot duplicate instance names or function names, so you'll need to create unique names for each one that behaves differently. So you can only have one function named "mouseClick"... if you want to have another function to link somewhere else you need to create a new name for that function ("mouseClick2" would work)
There are alternate approaches, but for now this will be the easiest for you to deal with.

How to load external photo gallery in swf file

hello!
i've been using flash catalyst beta to create a simple 100% flash portfolio site. you can view the test here: http://remgriff.110mb.com/
my problem is that i want to link a button from the portfolio page to an external swf file (or html, both are ok) and i cannot do that in flash catalyst (probably because it's in beta).
how can i achieve that? can it be done so the external swf opens in the portfolio page?
please help.

Heya,
I believe you can embed the .swf file using flex code in flex builder. I just did a quick google search and came up with a few articles. I don't think there is a way to do this in Catalyst yet, but please correct me if I am wrong.
I am also building my portfolio in Catalyst as a little project and although there are some bugs I am really enjoying the Beta
Hope this helps!
