How to put scroolbars while embeding swf

Hi all,
I am embeding swf in an asp.net page.
My application height is 800 and width is 850.
I am embeding swf as an object. I want a vertical scroobar here as i have mentioned height to 550.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="OLCT" height="550"
                            codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab"
                            style="width: 860px">
                            <param name="movie" value="OLCT/OLCT.swf" />
                            <param name="quality" value="high" />
                            <param name="bgcolor" value="#869ca7" />

You can use swf inside of another swf.
If you are using Actionscript2 then learn about LoadMovie
And for AS3 it is Loader.

How do I enable CHM-embedded SWF Files in Windows 7 64 bits?

Hi,
I have a Robohelp project with several important tutorials in the Flash SWF format, all of which were added to the project without issue. I have kept these in the CHM output for close to 2 years without issue. Then our company began to switch from XP (32 bits) to Windows 7 (64 bits), and users who had made the OS switch could no longer view the SWF tutorials.
Any ideas as to how I can keep these SWF-format tutorials functional in a CHM on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Hi again Rob
One other thing. Here is my own workaround for operating CHM files successfully on Windows 7. What I've done is to install Windows 7 Ultimate as the OS. (My PC shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium)
Then I downloaded (free of charge) the Microsoft Virtual Machine with XP mode. I then run the CHM from inside the VM in a 32 bit XP environment.
I do believe that it's possible to run a 32 bit version of HH.EXE to display the CHM file and have things work fine in the 64 bit environment. I say this because I've found that if I allow RoboHelp to launch the CHM, I see Captivate movies working in those. But run it on its own and BOOM!
I'd be one happy camper if I could sort the command line to launch the help viewer in 32 bit mode as RoboHelp seems to be doing!
Cheers... Rick

How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How to put the swf in sub directory

Would you guys let me know how to put the *.swf file which
has *.flv in sub directory other than root.
I've tried many things none of them working.
a regular *.swf are OK. But if that swf file related with
*.flv. that Swf has to be in root directory on the server.
if I put that swf in sub directory such as /swf then it's not
working.
Please, help me out.

Hi,
It looks like this is for the certification, so I won't give you that much helpt. But you could use a modern IDE to do what you want, or use ant (http://ant.apache.org/) for building.
/Kaj
Ps. It looks like your classpath is wrong when you try to run the program.

How to playback an embedded swf in a Captivate project

Hello,
I generated a swf file from one captivate project and am embedding it into another. When I play back the slide that has the imported animation the playback from the slide and the imported swf are different. If I pause the main slide playback the swf continues and vice versa. How do I get the playback of the imported swf file to be controlled by the main playback controls? I am using Cpativate 4.
Thank you in advance

Hi there
I'm hoping one of the Captivate team members picks up on this one and either confirms or denys my findings.
It is my understanding that one cannot control the other. Likely you may want to simply insert a Click Box or Button on the slide with the SWF and allow the user to move on when they are ready after having interacted with the SWF.
You may wish to experiment with the properties of the embedded SWF. There is an option called "Synchronize with project". But I'm doubtful it will work to accomplish what you want. I think what this option does is to ensure that if the timing of the slide is different than the SWF inside, it will play the SWF in its entirety.
Cheers... Rick

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!

~ form field in PDF = "name1"
Coding task;
how to script the SWF's text field so that it can use the PDF's form text field
while embeded in the PDF (that has a form field / "value").
many thanks

ActionScript in the SWF has direct access to the Acrobat JavaScript model through the ExternalInterface object.

How to use the Java embedding activity in BPel

hi all,
How to use the java embedding activity in BPEL
pls can u provide sample example

1 Use [Oracle BPEL Process Manager Client Java API Reference|http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28986/overview-summary.html] and especially [com.collaxa.cube.engine.ext|http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28986/com/collaxa/cube/engine/ext/BaseBPELXExecLet.html]
Instead of System.Out.println use addAuditTrailEntry(java.lang.String message)
2. If you want to import a package write in code (Source View) of bpel process
+<bpelx:exec import="package_name"/>+ for example +<bpelx:exec import="java.util.regex.Matcher"/>+
example 1:
String bodyAsString;
StringBuffer myStringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
try {
bodyAsString = (String)getVariableData("BodyString");
addAuditTrailEntry("bodyAsString1: "+ bodyAsString);
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("goodDay");
Matcher matcher= pattern.matcher(bodyAsString);
while (matcher.find()) {
matcher.appendReplacement(myStringBuffer, "shitDay");
matcher.appendTail(myStringBuffer);
bodyAsString = myStringBuffer.toString();
addAuditTrailEntry("bodyAsString2: "+ bodyAsString);
} catch (Exception ex) {
addAuditTrailEntry("Failed+bodyAsString",ex.getMessage());
I put in code (Source View) the following
<bpelx:exec import="java.util.regex.Matcher"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.util.regex.Pattern"/>
example2:
Object temp;
try {
temp = ((XMLElement)getVariableData("inputVariable","payload","/ns2:FiscalisMessage/ns2:Body")).getChildNodes().item(1);
setVariableData("AdjReceipt",temp);
addAuditTrailEntry("ok",temp.toString());
catch (Exception ex) {
addAuditTrailEntry("Failed :",ex);
I put in code (Source View) the following
<bpelx:exec import="oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement"/>

Detecting the right embedded swf by looking at callbacks registered with External Interface

Hi,
I have a few embedded SWFs in a PDF document. I want to identify some of these SWFs (for further processing) and the only I can tell apart the SWFs I am interested in from the rest is the former set of SWFs have a function, say "mymethod", registered as a callback with the External Interface. Unfortunately, mymethod doesnt return anything (i.e. return type is void), and executing a callAS("mymethod", param1, param2,...) on the SWF object(precisely, the rich media annotation object) returns me "undefined". "undefined" is also returned for SWFs which DO NOT have "mymethod" registered as a callback. So, seemingly, the return value of callAS() doesnt make a distinction between function that is not registered and a function that returns void.
Note that I cannot change the SWFs.
Is there another way to do this ? Maybe a way to obtain the list of registered callbacks for a SWF? Or, am i doing something wrong?

Here are two performance charts comparing the Mercury Elite drive to the Elite AL.
Mercury Elite
Mercury Elite AL
Based on those I would go for the AL, and it is slightly cheaper.
It's funny how the Neptune drive has nearly the same speeds as the mobile 100GB Mercury drive.
One reason I would go for a mobile drive is I travel to Europe or another part of the world at least once a year and having a power adaptor AND a converter for the different plugs is a bit too much to carry. The mobile drive is bus powered allowing me to buy just the Apple adaptors for my computer.
Shazza makes a good point, but 5400RPM would be satisfactory for me considering my PB's internal drive is a 4200 .
Tuttle is right on, if it is a desktop drive FW800 would be nice, and a mobile drive FW400. I assume the AL drives are similar to the normal Elite drives, yours are pleasing I understand?
Jeff Hoogmoed, are you talking about getting an internal laptop or desktop drive and using an enclosure?
JDee, I still am not sure about getting either a mobile or desktop drive. I have backed up DVDs to my PB which I enjoy watching, I would move them to a desktop drive but sometimes I like to view them while sitting on my bed. I find myself mobile frequently enough that I would not go for a desktop G5 in your scenario. I guess my problem is that I want the value of a desktop drive, mobile.
Thanks to everyone for the quick replies.

Communicating with embedded swfs

So if I have several external swfs embedded in one big one, in what way can I communicate between them?
Specifically,
-the main swf needs to know when buttons have been pressed in an embedded one, and it needs to tell all the other embedded ones about it.
-the embedded swfs need to intelligently resize and shuffle around each other, while keeping their coordinate origins in the top corner.
How do I go about this?

As long as by "embedded" you mean you load the swf files into thee main file dynamically, then there is hope for whatever you have planned. If by embedded you mean you import them into the library and plant them in the main file's timeline, that won't work.
The event listener(s) and event handler function(s) are coded into the main swf. The loaded swf's are coded to displatch the events that the main file has listeners for. So the loaded swf's simply shout out when they will, not caring who hears it... which allows them to compile without dependence on the main file.
So in the loaded movie, whatever triggers the need to call the main file into action would dispatch an event as follows...
dispatchEvent(new Event("eventName")); // name the event as you like
To add the listener in your main swf, listen for the load complete event on the Loader.contentLoaderInfo that is used to load the file. In the complete event handler, add the listener for the event on the loaded swf.
function loaderCompleteHandler(e:Event) {
MovieClip(e.currentTarget.content).addEventListener("eventName", eventHandler);
function eventHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("loaded swf event triggered");
