You can;t scale movie at run time. You could set the movie to
set 100% but
make its background invisible using WMODE and instead of
background place rectangle
movie clips which would change size based on the xml input.
It would be easy way to
fake the functionality you looking for otherwise it's hard to
get the XML info
w/o opening flash, than pass that info and embed the flash
with required size.

Is it possible to play a Flash movie in a 63" HDTV monitor

Dear all,
Hope my questions are make sense!
Firstly, is it possible to sync the Flash movie on a 63" HDTV
monitor from a PC notebook, but also keeping the quality of the
graphic (I am afraid the graphic will look blury when display on a
large monitor). Secondly, what size should I make for the Flash
file? Lastly, because I am going to load a video externally, what
is the best way to do it?
Thank you for you help!

The bigger (more pixels) flash movie goty, the higher quality
you will get on HDTV.
create a high resolusion flash movie, try to make it exactly
what your HDTV support.

Embed a Flash movie in existing GoLive page? HELP!!

I want to embed a Flash movie in existing GoLive page. I have a .flv file that I imported to a flash document. I published it and it made a .html, .swf, .js and Skin.js files. I don't want to use the .html file it made. How do I embed the SWF file and also have the skin.swf show up and work on my GL page? The Skin.swf is the controller.
I'm new at working with Flash files and I can't find any tutorials on this subject.
I'm working in GL CS2

Copy the OBJECT/EMBED or JAVASCRIPT source code from the auto-generated HTML file and paste that in your GoLive HTML.

Hello, I'm from Belgium and I just bought the iPad 2. I watched a lot of movies and I saw that it's possible to make your own movie with the iPad, but which app do you need to make movies. Greetings, Lars

Embed one Flash movie into another

I have two flash movies (fm1 and fm2). fm2 is imported into
fm1 and contains a function
function test()
return(123);
fm1 also contains a function
function test2()
return(456)
I'd like to call the function test from fm1 and also call
test2 from fm2.
Is this possible?

Yes but you will have to locate the function. For example:
_parent.test1(); can be called from fm2
If you load fm2 into a movieclip which has the Instance Name
"fm2" then you can get to the function in fm2 by using
_root.fm2.test2();
I hope it helps.

How do I embed flash movie with detection

Hi - I want to embed a movie below a banner image in a web
page. I want to use flash detection so that the right player is
used. I've got Flash professional 8 so it spits out an HTML page
with the flash detection script written to it. In the body section
of the HTML is a <script> tag with the document.write called
if the detection is succesful. What I've tried to do is put my
banner image in a div above the script tag. This seems to work in
Firefox but gives me a tiny little stretched banner image and a
tiny little stretched flash movie when I try the page in IE7.
I've attached my HTML below. Why is this happening?

I found the answer - I was using dynamic positioning of
elements in a javacript file and was using
document.documentElement.clientHeight to get the clientheight. IE7
no longer recognises this and has started using the standards
compliant document.body.clientHeight.

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?
I found a page with same problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549675&tstart=30

BPM Workspace can't display the flash movie with IE

Hi
We have the following problem, we have a BPM project with a flash screen, when we execute the project in the workspace of BPM studio we can see the Flash, but when we published the project in BPM Enterprise , the workspace can't display the flash movie, it just display the panel without buttons and fields. This happen just in Internet Explorer, in other browsers we can see the flash.
Any idea or solution ??
Thanks in advance

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

Masking entire flash movie with setMask() ?

Hi,
I have a long linear flash presentation with many scenes. Besides web playback my clients asked for a standalone projector file as well. Upon making it full screen with FS command during playback, initial off stage area elements are visible when they animate into the stage on widescreen monitors...for example text moving in from left. I don't want to mask every layer in over thirty something scenes...is there an easier way by applying a mask in actionscript to the movie itself? I know setMask() works for movieclips but is there a way to apply the setMask() method to the entire presentation in AS2 because the following did not seem to work:
_root.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); or _level0.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); ?
Thanks,
Attila

Ok, I have figured it out. The code works but in order to call the MC from the library as a mask it has to be used with the attachedMovie function first to make it appear on the stage. So the following works if the linkage is set up under the mask MC properties in the library:
_level0.attachMovie("StageShapeMC", "stageMask", 30000 ,{_x:0, _y:0});
_level0.setMask(stageMask);

Playing different flash movies with Javascript

I've been researching this on the web to no avail so I figured I would post.
I am developing a homepage similar to http://www.extractable.com/
I have several different areas of text, which when you hover over them, I would like a different flash movie to play. I have created this using pictures (example of one piece of the code is below), but want to increase the flashyness with, well, flash
      if (obj.id =="txtHolderPrograms")
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").style.filter="blendTrans(duration=.5)";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Apply();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").src = "PMDO.png";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Play();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePictureHREF").href = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
I have a div where I want the different movies to play in. What is the best way to get the different flash files? Keep in mind that extractable site is doing just about exactly what I want to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can't tell how you have things set up between the title of your posting and what you say to explain the problem. What are you calling pages? How do the pageselate to the 2 flash file in the doc you mention?

Adobe Captivate 4 - Flash Movie with Text Animation

I'm working on a project which has a slide which includes a Flash Video.
I'd like to put a Text caption over the video.
I've tried Text Caption and Text Animation.
Neither of these work......
Please let me know if there is some way to do this which I haven't considered or I need to adjust my settings.
Thank you,
David Gambal

Unfortunately, that is not an option. I work for a state government and the computers are locked down for security reasons. Updates are handled by an IT group and pushed out to all state computers. We were running Flash Player 10 and everything worked fine until the Flash Player Update was pushed out as a Microsoft Update on January 8th. There have been subsequent "Security Updates" to the Flash Player pushed out via Microsoft and none have corrected the problem. Even if I could uninstall the current Flash Player and install an older version, it would just be updated to the current Flash Player tonight.

Inserting a Flash Movie with Dreamweaver

I'm trying to insert a .swf file into my html using
Dreamweaver8. I go to inset-media-flash video, browse to my file
enter the width and height and click ok, and I receive this warning
everytime: "The URL cannot contain spaces or specal charaters.
Change hte path or file name and try again." The file is located in
my main directory of the website, and the file is titled
clienttv.swf. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, This file is a television commercial buit in avid and
compressed in squeeze, but I don't have the .flv file, only a .swf
file.
Is there a way to convert my .swf to .flv, or is there a way
to add a skin to my .swf file so that I have the movie controls
(play/pause, stop)?
thanks,
nofx1728

Exporting the flash movie with all the associated files linked in?

Hey guys i have a movie that has a swf player practically on every page playing a number of different videos.
When I export it usually and play it on another computer the flash file won't play the videos as they simply are not there!
Is there a way I can export the file, play it on any computer and still see the videos?
Thanks
Steph! xx

If you build the video into the swf file rather than loading it dynamically it should play on any computer that has the Flash Player. Or if you load it all to a server then you can test it online using any machine that has internet access. Otherwise you need to bring the videos along with the swf when you test it on other machines.

Creating a Simple Flash Movie With Poster Frame and Play/Pause Buttons

Hi, It's been over a year since I played with Flash last, and
I have completely forgotten everything I learned.
I have a .flv file which I want to play on my website. It
should display a poster frame when the page load, and not autoplay
the movie. It should have the play button I made in photoshop
sitting on top of the poster frame. When pressed, the movie should
start playing and the button should be shifted for the pause button
I made in PS (it should work just like the play/pause button in
iTunes). When the movie has finished playing, it should jump back
to the poster frame.
I have tried using the flvplayback component and also played
around with just embedding the flv directly and inserting a play
and pause button from the common library, but I can't seem to get
it to work. With the flvplayback component I have managed most of
it apart from using my own buttons and getting the poster frame to
work (which apparently has to be done with Action script).
Any help appreciated.

Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
Flash for the first time".
