How to tell a swf file in web was made by flash or flex?

the swf file in web, how to tell it was made by Flash or
Flex? accurately!

Im not sure, but I would think that right now the main way to
tell the difference would be to find out if it requires Flash
Player 8.5 or not. Currently, Flash swfs only go to 8.0. Another
way is to look at the source of the HTML file. I notice that Flex
puts an incredible amount of code into the HTML file.

How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.

How to create the SWF file which was included surrogate pairs.

I would like to make sure how to create the SWF file which are included surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of unicode occurred when I compiled(mxmlc) the as file which was set surrogate pairs to 'Unicoderange'.
Ex, I set the ' '(UTF-16 is '20B9F') to 'Unicoderange'.
However, I cannot add the surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of Unicode occurred when I compiled the AS file.
The reason of error was that the Unicode(UTF-16) of surrogate pairs is invalid.
Then, I read the following pages.
These pages are written that unicode-range supported surrogate pairs.

http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/fonts.html#descdef-unicode -range
So please let me know how to create the SWF file which are included surrogate pairs.

I've been able to create project jar files in Eclipse by selecting Export from the File menu, then choose Java - Jar file - and provide the required information, name, destination folder etc. But when I do this, I do not export other jars on the build path this way nor do I expect to do this. I am only concerned with creating a jar file of my own work. A jar file does not "contain" other jar files. If the jar file contains the main method, and requires other jars for it's execution, then you may wish to include a reference to required jars on the class path entry of the Manifest file of the jar file you create. I'm not sure how to create a Manifest file in eclipse though..

How can I associat ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1

How can I associate ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1? When I
install flash lite 2.0,it can do ---- click .swf files system can
autoly use flashlite to play.But now I install flashlite 2.1,it
lost this ability return as "unknow files formate".
Now,how can I reassociate ".swf" with flashlite 2.1?
first: I must use flashlite 2.1.
second:I must click .swf file directly.
I know another way to open :open the player and then find the
.swf,and open it. But ,unfortunately,I can not use this way to
open.Now I will be looking for another way.

unfortunately, the 2.1 developer edition you have installed
has not overwritten the original version integrated into the
symbian OS by the manufacturer. This means that the only way to
open the 2.1 files is to open the 2.1 player from your apps menuu,
and click on the swf file. You will only get direct access if the
updated player is in a firmware update for you handset.

When do you think a preloader is necessary? How large should a swf file be to justify it?

I'm looking for opinions on preloaders. When do you use a preloader? How large must a swf file be before you to put a preloader in it? I am working on a small program that is 80kb in size right now and I'm not sure if I should add a preloader.

About 500kb, you should use a preloader.
Below? It depends on your file. If everything is on frame 1 , maybe it's better to use one.
You can test it with "Simulate Download" (Control - Test Scene -> View - Simulate Download)

How can I convert .swf file to exe file?

thanks

Hi
Thank for your choise.
If showing only white screen, please download the lastest version, v2.03.
http://www.bullrushsoft.com/download.html
This problem occurs in Win7 sp1, especially IE has been upgraded to v10.
Our SWF to EXE Converter must need the FlashPlayer plugin for IE, it 's not a atandalone program.
So it only 880KB.
Our online converter is the adobe flash player exe, it can be embed the swf into, and standalone, so its size > 4MB.
More details, please visit http://www.bullrushsoft.com/online.html
Best Regards.

How to know for sure something was made in Flash?

If you right-click on a game of movie in a website and see a box with the bottoim line "About Adobe Flash Player..." does that necessarily mean that the content was made with Flash (Either Flash Pro, Flash Builder, FDT, Flash Develop)?
Does it mean that the creators for sure used AS3, or could you in thery have an html5 or union project running in flash player?

There may not be actionscript in a program per se but when it creates swf it must abide by swf rules to at least create a proper wrapper so that final outcome is perceived by the Flash plugin as something native. I will try it later but I am pretty sure it will have a lot of ActionScript code because Flash pluging is just a library of ActionScript classes from this perspective.
Because SWF is an open source (sort of) I am sure there are tons of programs that will convert things to swfs with different level of success.
If you are interested in other that Adobe provided compilers - you may want to start with OpenSWF forum:

Embed .swf file or how to hide your .swf file on the web for protection

Hi, is it possible to hide your .swf file so that it can not be taken. Is there a way to protect it? if someone please post the chain of commands on how to do this.

How do I script SWF files instead of JPG files in XML loader?

I have a SWF loader (greensock.com platform) and a thumbnail image scroll underneath it made of small image buttons. Each image button has a link which loads a new SWF file into the SWF loader above. Here is the code for each button which loads the bigger SWF file into the loader above:
Button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button3_PlayPopUp);
function Button3_PlayPopUp(event:MouseEvent): void {
    //setting the sourceVar
    sourceVar="3.swf";
    //making the SWFLoader load
    //as setting the soureVar after the SWFLoader is created won't do anything unlesss
    //I also re-create the SWFLoader with the new sourceVar when the button is clicked
    loader_howToLoader2.url = sourceVar;
    loader_howToLoader2.load(true);
Then I decided to load all button via XML loader. I followed the tutorial on XML loaders which deals with loading jpg images and assigning URL links to them in the following manner first in XML file:
<image src="appThmb_imgs/appThmb_imgs117x175/A-illuminatorUpLit_117x175.jpg" title="UpDownGlowingVase" url="http://www.888acolyte.com"/>
and then in AS3 like this:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
thisOne.link = imageList[item].attribute("url");
function clickScrollerItem(e:MouseEvent):void {
//trace("clicked item " + e.currentTarget.itemNum + " - visit url: " + e.currentTarget.link);
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(e.currentTarget.link);
try {
navigateToURL(urlRequest);
catch (e:Error) {
// handle error here
trace(e);
My question is: How do I apply the code to each individual small thumbnail button to load a bigger image into the SWF loader above? Do I have to add something to XML file or this way it will never work with jpg images? Can url in XML file set the source var (//setting the sourceVar), since they are all individual and then somehow apply the making SWL loader to load part (//making the SWFLoader load) as a standard somewhere in the AS3 code?

O.K. Here is my COMPLETE function.
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
    trace("xml load complete");
    xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
    //trace(xmlData.image); //we'll see each image xml element listed in the output panel with this xmlList
    buildScroller(xmlData.image); //rather than trace the xmlList, we send it to our buildScroller function
//build scroller from xml
function buildScroller(imageList:XMLList):void{
    trace("build Scroller");
    //var scroller_x:int=0;
    for (var item:uint = 0; item<imageList.length();item++) {
        var thisOne:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
        //thisOne.img_width=imageList[item].attribute("width");
        //outline
        var blackBox:Sprite = new Sprite();
        blackBox.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
        blackBox.graphics.drawRect(-1, -1, 86, 128);//-1,-1 places rectangle 1px left and up.86, 128 draws rectangle 1px wider on all sides of placed image dimenstions of 84x126
        thisOne.addChild(blackBox);
        //scroller_x += thisOne.img_width + 20;
        //var currentX = currentImageWidth+spaceBetween;//modified line to adjust variable thumb widths
        thisOne.x = (84 + padding) *item;//84 is the width of the loaded images and 15 (which was before paddign var) is the padding
        //thisOne.x = scroller_x;//modified line to adjust variable thumb widths
        thisOne.itemNum = item;
        thisOne.title = imageList[item].attribute("title");
        thisOne.link = imageList[item].attribute("url");
        thisOne.src = imageList[item].attribute("src");
        thisOne.alpha = 0;//makes all thumb images at alpha=0 before they are fully loaded
        //trace(thisOne.itemNum, thisOne.title, thisOne.link, thisOne.src);
        //Loading and Adding the Images
        //image container
        var thisThumb:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
        //add image
        var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
        //var url:String = imageList[item].attribute("src");
        var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(thisOne.src);
        trace("loading thumbnail "+item+" into Scroller: " + thisOne.src);//url
        ldr.load(urlReq);
        //assign event listeners for Loader
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler);//tells us when the loading is complete
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);//tells us if there are any typo errors when the loading is complete
        thisThumb.addChild(ldr);
        thisOne.addChild(thisThumb);
        //create listeners for this thumb
        thisOne.buttonMode = true;//makes boxes act as buttons
        thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickScrollerItem);//makes boxes act as buttons
        thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overScrollerItem);//traces the title when the mouse is over the bounding box in the Output Panel
        thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outScrollerItem);//traces the title when the mouse is out the bounding box in the Output Panel
        //add item
        scroller.addChild(thisOne);
But I am not sure if I expressed myself clearly. All what you have indicated happens. Images are being loaded and url strings are working. I can not figure out how to tweek the code so instead of url specified in xml file I can load swf image into the SWF loader on the same screen?

How to reduce the swf file size of an imported After Effects file

Hi!
I am trying to make a web banner for an internet marketing company, so it has very specific requirements. We had it made in After Effects, and I was able to export it as a FLV file and import to Flash just fine along with the SWF. Now, I need to make the SWF file significantly smaller.
Right now it is 2.5 MB and we can only submit a 40K size SWF. Is it even possible to reduce the size so much and still keep the animation's intregrity?
I am more familiar with Flash than After Effects, but can play around with settings, etc if someone can tell me what to try.
Thank you for your help!

the easiest way to load and play your flv is to use an flvplayback component. you just drag it from the component panel to the stage and, in the properties panel, assign its properties (eg, skin and source).
but that will probably put you just over your 40kb limit and will require the skin.swf to be placed on the server with your banner ad.
to decrease your swf size to negligible, use actionscript to play your flv. this is the barebones code needed. just replace your_video_url.flv:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns:NetStream = new NetStreamnc);
ns.play("your_video_url.flv");
var video:Video = new Video();
video.attachNetStream(ns);
addChild(video);

I don't remember exactly, but you need to find a doc about
fscommand
paramers. There is such doc somewhere at Macromedia / Adobe
websites.
I saw it some time ago. The is a parameter like "mainmenu" or
so,
which can be "true" or "false". As far as I remember there
was such
thing.
> Second, Is it possible to export a transperent flash

Flash movie itself is "transparent" uless an explicit
background shape
is used. It is another question how to make Flash Player box
to be
transparent. Web browsers support so called windowless mode,
but Flash
Projector (SAFlashPlayer.exe) - does not.
Personally I use my own projector, written in Delphi, which
uses
special third-party component, supporting windowless mode.
There are
other tools, supporting it. Try to search Google for
"TFlashPlayerControl".

How to load large SWF files?

I have created a flash game which is about 11 MB in size and i have created the progBar in the first frame of the swf...
But it only shows the loading process after few MBs of data beign loaded...which might take some time and cause the user to close the tab..
I dont want this to happen...How i could tell the user at least that the swf is loading without any percentage and all the animations..
Like putting a <div> tag at the back of swf file..so until the swf load the div tag with "loading" message can be shown...I tried this method but it wasnt working for me and i dont know why.
I hope flash masters at this forum could help me.
