Launching FW from Flash Movie

Is there a way to launch FW from Flash Movie when user
presses a buttons?
Bascially, when user clicks a button in Flash Movie, FW
launches and execute some scripts.
Thanks,

Not a Flash expert, but I don't think so. Why do you want to
do this?

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

For Flash
Trace(GetIconProperty(iconID, #pathName))
for QuickTime
Trace(GetIconProperty(IconID, #filename))
For full scripting reference for each of these sprites, open
up the
Properties panel for each sprite and press the Help button
that appears on
the properties page ... or else navigate to these folders for
the Flash and
QT help

You don't want to know how many times I asked Macromedia to

Avatars from flash movies

Hi!
I want to create an application that creates small avatars from flash movies. How to solve this task better? It seems that I should receive each change of flash movie...

This forum is about C++ programming in general, and using the Solaris Studio C++ compiler for Solaris and Linux in particular.
I think you are more likely to find an answer in a forum about using Flash. Try adobe.com.

Exporting from flash movies without quicktime

I used to convert flash movies in dv (for further editing in imovie or Final cut express). With the latest QT update this is not possible anymore (and a lot of my projects are unreadable...). Anyone knows an (possibly inexpensive) way to convert a .swf file in dv or something else digestible from QT or visualhub? (visualhub relyes on QT support for converting flash movies, so this is not doable...)
Thanks in advance.

Buy a cheap external HD and install an older version of Tiger (and QuickTime) on it. Use http://perian.org and QuickTime Pro to make the conversion.
QuickTime 7.3.1 no longer supports Flash media formats.

Launching .exe from Flash

I need to produce a CD which will self-run when inserted in the drive. The user will see 2 buttons .One will launch the English version of a Flash.exe the other will launch the Spanish version of a Flash.exe. What is the best way to go about this? Sow what we have then is a Flash.exe with 2 buttons to launch 2 other Flash.exe.
Thanks,
Al

Although launching an EXE from Java is as simple as
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime.exec("/*command string goes here");

Problem downloading files from flash movie?

For some reason, on my Mac Book Pro (running OSX 10.5.4) I am unable to download a file from a flash movie (.swf). All other macs in the office are capable, and I can download files from other sources, just not from a flash movie. It allows me to choose where to save the file, but when the download starts, the progress bar remains at 0%.
Does anyone know what causes this?

There's no such thing as Final Cut HD 5.0.4. If what you really have is Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, then you should be able to capture and edit HDV. But, you haven't told us what camcordr you have, so it's difficult to help.
The usual procdure for resolving this situation looks something like this:
1) With the camcorder powered on and connected, open System Profiler, and see if it sees the camcorder. (SP is in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
2) If SP sees it, then with FCP not running, power down the camcorder, then start Final Cut again. When the window opens saying FCP can't find your HDV device, power on the camcorder and click continue. Try it again.
3) If Log & Capture doesn't see it, then Quit FCP, shut down the Mac, power down the camcorder. Wait 20 seconds. Power up the camcorder, boot up again, open FCP & try it.
4) If L&C still doesn't see it, then trash your FCP preferences, and try it again.
5) Report back here.
EDIT: You are using the HDV Easy Setup, aren't you?

Open PDF in Acrobat from flash movie

Hi all,
I have made a flash autorun splash screen for a CD containing numerous pdf' files. When I click on the files in the flash movie however, they open in a browser window. Is there any way to make them open in acrobat by default?

probably not. you can't change a user's default settings. and you can't force the execution of a file like acrobat without knowing its location.

Creating a DVD from flash movies (flv)

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?
-pom-

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?
No. You could probably convert the files to DV video (which is supported) using VisualHub at http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
You can try it for free.
Keep in mind that the DV files will be MUCH larger. DV runs about 12 to 13 GB per hour of content.

Playback of sounds from flash movie files in authorware

Ive imported a flash movie file into authorware but the sound
is not playing back. In flash, I created a movie that includes
graphics and sounds. The movie plays perfectly when I open the
flash player but it doesnt play when imported into Authorware. Ive
tried publishing the flash file as quicktime but had a problem with
the handler on my computer. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

If you click the 'Options' button on the Property panel for
the Flash
movie, is the 'Playback > Sound' checkbox actually checked
in the
resulting dialog box?
When published as QT, what does 'had a problem with the
handler on my
computer' mean? Do you have QT installed on the playback
machine? Are
you using Insert > Media > Quicktime?

Closing browser window from Flash movie on CD

I have to put a flash lesson I created on a cd for a client and while testing it I noticed that my exit button in the movie no longer seems to function.
This is my close window function
    function closeWindow(evt:Event)
        var url:String = "javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()";
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
        try
            navigateToURL(request, "_self");
        catch (e:Error)
            trace("Error occurred!");
Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work when the movie is launched in a browser window from a CD?

Fi it is at all possible you cannot do that with url request.
Try using ExtrenalInterface class:
ExternalInterface.call("javascript:...");
It may not waork though depending on security settings and embed parameters.

Unloading FlashPaper Document from Flash Movie

I'm using the following script to play a FlashPaper movie clip:
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
//   path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i, loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false)     {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", true);
fp.showUIElement("Print", true);
fp.showUIElement("Find", true);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", true);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", true);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", true);
fp.showUIElement("Page", true);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", true);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(8);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("theDocMC",100);
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = -220;
theDocMC_mc._y = -150;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
//   size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("MarketingDoc.swf", theDocMC_mc, 500, 350, this);
Everything works fine on all pages including the page with the FlashPaper movie. The problem is after I visit the page with the FlashPaper movie my file starts to play through all the pages and wont stop.
I'm new to flash and this has been driving me mad. Any tips would be greatly apprciated.
files attached for example of my problem:
Thanks.

Depends on user end, if the browser has DPF plugin, the file
will
automatically open so if you want to force download, zip that
file.
ZIP always prompt download dialog.

Launch lightbox from flash animation

Hi All,
Does anyone know of the best way to launch an iFrame video box in a lightbox from a Flash banner?
I have a shopping cart and need to have the video which is served via iframe from a third party site displayed in a lightbox but can not find anything suitable.
Regards.

I don't really understand what you are trying to do... can you explain in simpler, clear details? That said...
Break the process down into steps.
Get you "video box" working first (whatever a video box is???).
Create the HTML page which will hold the iframe content, then add your video box to that.
Place the iframe on your main HTML page
Create a button or link in your Flash banner and call the or display that iframe... use javascript if needed.
if AS2, getURL or ExternalInterface will allow connection to javascript

Images from Flash Movie Not Showing Up

I have a Flash 'slideshow' that cycles through 4 images. It
has been on one of my sites for over a year now. Today I changed
from a Windows host to a Linux host (same company) and now the
images don't show up. The text that goes over the images cycles
normally, but the pictures aren't there. I did upload the pictures
the swf calls.
If I launch the swf locally, it works great. Online, no joy.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Brady

That is just one more sucky thing about Windows (servers or
not)... case

Download a document from flash movie

This might seem like a bit of a silly question. I have a PDF
I want to upload and make available to download from my flash
website. I originally did this by uploading the file to '4share'
but my employer did not like it saying it was a bit confusing and
full of adverts. If I upload the PDF with the rest of my site to
the remote folder how do I connect a button in the website to
automatically start a download of the file? Should I have the file
in an html document, or is it a simple case of getURL on the
desired button? If so, what do I need to do to the PDF before the
link will work correctly.
Many Thanks
JG
