Java Applet in Flash CS4 (ActionScript 3.0)

Hi Guys,
I wonder if anyone can help me as I am a little confused.
Is it possible to insert a Java Applet into Flash CS4 (ActionScript 3.0)
Any advice is much appreciated
Thanks

I wouldn't swear to it, but I don't think you can "import" and run an applet internally in flash, but you can call it as an external file from flash and display/run it in an html container for example.
Just as flash (swf) is run through FlashPlayer as the runtime environment, Applets use the Java Console as its runtime environment.

Perhaps one can do it using AIR but not Flash IDE (CS4) or ActionScript.

Running a java applet from flash

Hi,
How do you run a java applet from within a Flash movie?
Is it necessary for the user to download a java interpreter, or is there an interpreter somehow built into their browser that can run applets?

I was wondering , I don't know too much about Flash
I remember seeing some classes in amongst the Flash
files when it installed , but couldn't tell you whart they
do (at the moment , but you've got me interested)
maybe you should rethink your strategy for building your page (and your movie) maybe build the movie around
your applet , or preload it then replace a an area of your movie area with your applet (the way you handle rollovers).
the advantage is you can make calls to applet methods
from Flash as it supports Javascript.
jus remember to set the scriptable <PARAM> to true
Users shouldn't have to download the plug-in or JRE
you should specify it in the OBJECT or EMBED tag so
if they don't have it , the browser will tell them.
of course this is going to change as Microsoft are stopping support for JAVA , users will then have to download the plug-in from Sun in order to view or use JAVA on the internet.

Need help displaying images with List component for Flash CS4 (ActionScript 3.0)

Hi folks:
I am an inexperienced user of Flash CS4 Pro (v10.0.2). I am attempting to use the List component with ActionScript 3.0 to make a different image display when a user clicks each item in a list.
I did find a tutorial that showed me how to make different text display using a dynamic text box and the following ActionScript:
MyList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, ShowSelectedItem);
function ShowSelectedItem(event:Event):void {
ListText.text=MyList.selectedItem.data;
...where My List is the instance of the List component and ListText is the dynamix text box. In this case, the user clicks an item in the list, defined by the label value in the dataProvider parameter of the List component, and text displays as defined in the data value in the dataProvider parameter.
However, as I mentioned to start, what I really want to do is make images display instead of text. Can anyone provide me the steps to do this?
I appreciate your help (in advance)!!
Cindy

Hi...thanks for responding! I was planning on using images from the Library, but if there is a better way to do it, I'm open. So far, I just have text in the data property. This is part of my problem. I don't know what I need to put in the data value for an image to display. Do I just put the image file name and Flash will know to pull it from the Library? Do I need to place the images on the stage on different frames? I apologize for the "stupid user" questions, but as you can tell, I'm a newbie.
Appreciate your patience and any help you can offer!

Flash cs4 Actionscript 2 support

Hello,
Can someone please tell me if Flash CS4 supports Actionscript 2?
Many thanks, Damien

Yes, you can edit or create files in any version of Actionscript with CS4

Advanced: Java Applet in Flash

We're trying to embed a photo gallery uploader which allows
users to browser their folders and files from within the flash
site. I know that a java applet may be the best solution and am
looking into how to access similar functionality using flash
remoting.
Can I do this natively with flash and avoid using java
altogether? Do we need JRUN? Can we use our Com Server for this?
Can someone give me more information on how to accomplish this?
Appreciate it.

Flash has a FileReference class that allows you to do uploads
and downloads via a flash front end. I am only aware of doing this
with .NET as the back end server technology. I also think that the
FileReference class may be specifically for working with .NET but I
am not sure.

Anyone got any odeas on how I can get this to work?
Looking at the code this part is the part which i need to appear on top of everything else.
function tn_over(e:MouseEvent):void
    var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.target);
    var s_no:Number = parseInt(mc.name.slice(8,10));
     thumbnail_group.addChild(mc);
    new Tween(mc, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, mc.scaleX, 1, tween_duration, true);
    new Tween(mc, "scaleY", Elastic.easeOut, mc.scaleY, 1, tween_duration, true);
     tn_title.text = title_list[s_no];
    tn_desc.text = description_list[s_no];
    tn_url.text = url_list[s_no];

Embed applet in Flash, possible?

Hi All
I have a quite weird question here maybe, but if that's
possible to embed a java applet into Flash?
Anyone can give me a hint?
Thanks a zillion in advance!

Flash cannot embed a Java applet.
You can have a Java applet sharing the same browser and have
Flash and the Java applet communicate to the browser and thus
communicate to each other.

How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

Hi,
Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4. The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand. I now want to switch over to LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS. Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS? Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense. But LCCS is really confusing. Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client. There is nothing in the LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3. Please help! I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

Hi,
Welcome to the LCCS world.
Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
Thanks

Flash CS4 and ActionScript 2.0

Hello
Was wondering if you could recommend the publish and save
settings in Flash CS4 when working with ActionScript 2.0.
What are my publish settings?
Flash Player 8 or 9?
Script: ActionScript 2.0
Should I be saving the project as CS4 or CS3?
- I no longer have the ability to save the file as Flash 8 in
CS4.
- It looks like I lose my XML files when I save as CS3
Are there any other settings that need to be changed?
Thanks in advance
M

troika22,
> Was wondering if you could recommend the publish and

Ultimately, it depends on what version of Flash Player
you're aiming
for.
> What are my publish settings?
> Flash Player 8 or 9?
> Script: ActionScript 2.0
There are numerous reasons you might decide to code a
project in AS2.
You might, for example, not yet have "taken the plunge" to
AS3, so you may
not be comfortable with it yet. Your project requirements
might dictate
that you support as low as Flash Player 6 (may ad agencies
have such
requirements). You might be updating an existing project,
already built in
AS2.
In any of these cases, your publish settings will be
determined by the
version of Flash Player you're targetting. Flash Player 8 was
the first to
support blend modes and filter effects (drop shadow, etc.),
so in order to
support that, you would have to publish to Flash Player 8. If
you don't
need those, and if your code itself doesn't rely on features
that require
Flash Player 7, you may as well publish to Flash Player 6 and
reach the
greatest number of potential viewers. (The farther back you
go, the more
likely your viewer will have Flash Player installed, because
not everyone
decides to upgrade. That said, most people seem to upgrade.)
> Should I be saving the project as CS4 or CS3?
If you're working with a team and some of those people use
Flash CS3,
you'll have to save it as CS3 any time you want to share the
file;
otherwise, save it as CS4. The FLA settings are independent
from the SWF
publish settings.
> - I no longer have the ability to save the file as Flash
8 in CS4.
Correct. Each edition of the IDE only save to the previous
edition, as
far as source files go. But each edition of the IDE is
capable of
*publishing* as far back as you like.
> - It looks like I lose my XML files when I save as CS3
Which XML files are those?

I am trying to experiment with Tweens and Easing Types in ActionScript 3.0, Adobe Flash CS4. help

I am using ActionScript 3.0, Adobe Flash CS4 software
I have created Tweens for some MovieClip properties and experimented with some of the easing types.
This is what I have managed to create and works okay!
grow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, grow);
shrink_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shrink);
rotate_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotate);
hide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideClip);
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showClip);
fadeOut_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fadeOut);
fadeIn_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fadeIn);
function grow(e:MouseEvent):void {
var scale1:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleX", Back.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
var scale2:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleY", Back.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
function shrink(e:MouseEvent):void {
var oneSmall:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleX", Back.easeInOut, 0, -.2, 3, true);
var twoSmall: Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleY", Back.easeInOut, 0, -.2, 3, true);
function rotate(e:MouseEvent):void {
var spin:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "rotation", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 360, 5, true)
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = false;
function showClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = true;
function fadeOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tweenfadeOut:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "alpha", None.easeOut, 1, -.1, 3, true);
function fadeIn(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tweenfadeIn:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "alpha", None.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
I am having trouble creating Tweens and add easing types for the action script below!
I keep getting error message (“Access of undefined property Sine”) for example when I type
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
var noClip:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "visible", Sine.easeOut, 0, 1, 3, true);
Can anyone help???? The original script is below
hide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideClip);
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showClip);
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = false;
function showClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = true;

make sure you have imported the Sine class
import fl.motion.Sine;

How to Build a Preloader for Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0

With the wonderful help of many people on this site, I have successfully buit a nice website using Flash CS4. I am wanting to deploy the site this weekend and I'm working on the finishing touches. I would like to add a preloader so that the viewer will have everything loaded when the action starts. Can anyone suggest a good tutorial that shows how to make the simple "rotary lines" that are so popular? I've seen these and they look to be about an inch across and move like the hands of a clock. I think it may even say "Loading..." or similar. Since I'm still learning quite a bit, I did not know if Flash actually offers some "preloaded" tools for stuff like this? Or am I better off going to Lynda.com and taking a tutorial? Thanks for the help!

Dark Armor, You mentioned the book Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book, which I have. I could not find anything in there. Did you mean to say Actionscript 3.0 for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional? I do have that book and it looks like there is information there. Just wanting to make sure that you meant what you said. Thanks!

Flash MX creates .swf files. Dreamweaver CS4 creates HTML
files, and
has the capability of inserting .swf files in a web page. It
doesn't
matter which version of Flash you use to create your .swf
files; they
can be inserted into a web page in any version of
Dreamweaver.

Access Flash Player position from Java Applet

Hallo Everybody,
as a part of my diploma thesis, I have on a HTML Page two
objects, one is a Flash Movie, streamed from a Flash Server, the
other is a Java Applet. In the Java Applet I have a button "Get
time of Movie". When the user clicks on this button, the Applet
shoud ask the Flash Player about it's actual position (min, sec)
and the Applet should get this information back. I think, with the
ExternalInterface Class might it be possible, but I have no idea
how. Could anybody help me?
Thanks
Beat
