Loading PDFs into swf dynamically

Is it possible  to load a PDF into a flash app dynamically, much like you can with a jpg?
I know FlashPaper is available, but that doesnt do anything as far as allowing for dynamic loading if you need to load PDF dynamically
I need to load pdfs dynamically and get displayed after converted within  Flash Player
Any Solution ?
Thanks

Couple of quick questions... For the Textfields:
a)Do you have the textfields already on stage (in other words
your "5 or so" comment in your first post is fixed to the number of
textfields you put on stage). If so, what the names of the
textfields and in what scope (e.g. main timeline or inside a clip
called "textHolder" etc.
b)Or do you want them created dynamically by code? If they
are to be created dynamically by code, are they to be placed in
fixed (scattered) locations or is there a pattern - e.g. are evenly
spaced? If the positions are fixed and do not fall into pattern...
then what are they (in sequence) or if they are in a layout pattern
please describe it.

  • Convert Multi Pages PDF into SWF SLideshow

    Is there an easy way to convert a multiple page PDF into an
    SWF slideshow?
    What I need to do is to make a slideshow out of a 30 pages
    PDF, hoping to have it play slide by slide automatically with a 5-7
    seconds interval.
    Help appreciated!

    Thank you isabellarola!
    However the link you posted only tells you how to import a
    Flash video into a Powerpoint Presentation. I actually need it the
    other way around, which is PDF to SWF. I tried SWFTOOLS but the
    result is very disappointment and the options are limited.

  • Can I dynamically import pdf into swf?

    Hi All,
    I need to be able to dynamically import an external pdf file into my  flash .swf and display it within a movie clip on the timeline. --with  pagination.  Is this possible with Flash CS4?
    Thank you for reading.  I have been out of the flash game for about a  year now.  However, a situation has arisen where I need to create a swf  movie that loads an external pdf, paginates it, and displays it within a  movie clip in the swf.  Is this possible or will I be forced to only  provide a hyperlink to the pdf?
    Thank you so much for your time.
    Pete

    You should be able to use getURL("pdflocationhere.pdf"); - but I believe thats totally dependent on how the users computer is set up. If they don't have Adobe Reader, it will probably fail, or will attempt to load the pdf within a modern browser that should have the reader plug-in. From my experience, when using getURL() within a projector, it will attempt to open the filetype based on that specific filetype's default opening program which is set in the OS.

  • Dynamically loading text into SWF

    I'm building a flash web site and here are a couple parts of
    the site the client is going to want to update regularly. Is there
    a simple way that I can have an external file (XML?) that a client
    can edit to update parts of the site without having to re-export
    the swf or involve me, without getting into any real heavy
    scripting?
    Anything you can do to get me pointed in the right direction
    would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Loading Text into SWF

    Hello Everyone,
    I wonder if anyone could help?
    I have a SWF with multiple dynamic text fields. I want to
    load in the contents of ONE text file into the five or so fields at
    the touch of a button. Can anyone advise on how to set up a XML or
    TXT file and the Action Script to allow this to happen?
    Any advice or pointers in the right direction would be
    greatly appreciated.
    Darren.

  • Compiling a CSS into SWF without merged SDK and dynamically loading

    I have a flex application that is built with the SDK merged in (for my own good reasons). This application dynamically loads a style SWF that was built without the SDK merged. Unfortunately, it seems that the loaded SWF fails to resolve its references with the SDK and gives me a 1014 run-time error.
    If I merge the SDK into the CSS SWF then it works. If I set both my application and the CSS SWF to use the SDK as an RSL then it works. In short the matrix is:
    CSS SWF, SDK merged?
    Application, SDK merged?
    Works?
    Yes
    Yes
    Yes
    Yes
    No
    Yes
    No
    Yes
    No
    No
    No
    Yes
    I do not want a big CSS SWF to dynamically load with all the SDK in it when I already have the SDK loaded with my application. Any help much appreciated.

    Hi,
    In you rsl project properties, go to Flex Library Build Path and go to library path tab. Here you can edit your imported library. There's no need in RSL to import the libraries merge into code but external(even the Adobe libraries should be loaded as external) cause you load it already from your application project (as rsl or merge into code).
    Bye!

    No you can't, flash does not support dynamic PDF load.
    you could use Flash Paper tho, tool that converts PDF to SWF
    files.

  • FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

    A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering  about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
    Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
    How do I load more than one SWF?
    How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
    How do I resize the loaded SWF?
    How do I set its X and Y location?
    Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:
    Sample files for the above TechNote. A set of 3 FLA and 3 corresponding SWF files, including a parent SWF and 2 SWFs that the parent loads.

    following might work...
    MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
    Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the

  • Flex 4.6 IOS Mobile packager - can it load and play swf's dynamically at run time?

    I have an app that shows the viewer slides in a SWFLoader object.  I load the slides at runtime from a remote server.  When I package the app for IOS using 4.6 the swf slides load and play fine in the IOS emulator on the PC.  They don't load, however, when I deploy to a provisioned iPad. 
    My guess is that IOS can handle doesn't know what to do with dynamically loaded swf data.  I'm not positive though because it plays in the emulator.  Is that emulator truly emulating xcode or is it running flash?
    Note:  this same app plays an rtmp flash stream just fine even on the device itself.  Just can't handle a dynamically loaded swf.

    The correct answer to this question appears to be that Apple's terms of service *do not* prohibit the loading of swf's on IOS from remote servers dynamically at runtime.  They prohibit the loading of swf's that *contain executable ActionScript code*. 
    I loaded a PPT into Adobe Connect and then retrieved the resultant slide swf's from the Connect server.  I took these swf's and loaded them into my iPad app, dynamically at runtime, from a remote server.  The swf's loaded and animations played.  I made no changes to my code.  I'm just using a plain old SWFLoader object.
    Loading swf's dynamically at runtime from remote servers into IOS works - if you make the swf's right.  How to do that I'm not sure.

  • How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

    Hi.
    I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
    stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
    I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
    time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
    load the requested content and return to the stage.
    The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
    enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
    just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
    Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
    the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
    and then returns to the stage.
    I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
    "contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
    instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
    requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
    Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
    error message:
    quote:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
    If I switch
    "contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
    "contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
    external SWF doesn't move with the window.
    How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
    inside other movie clip?

    Hi,
    Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
    And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
    communication with the said swf file:
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    onComplete);
    function onComplete(event:Event):void
    event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
    Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
    within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
    will have an answer ;)

  • How can I load a .TXT file into a dynamic text box?

    I am sure that many people know how to load a .txt file into

  • Is it possible to load a PDF into the ipad Photos app?

    I deal with documents that then have to be sent to a specific site that only accepts .doc, .docx, pdf.
    I can't e-mail them, because the site must access iPad so that the documents are correctly received and accounted for.
    That site can only access the iPad's Photos, nowhere else.
    Is it possible to load one of these three formats into the ipad Photos app?

    Thanks Diavonex, but that doesn't work (see my question).
    I can easily produces JPGs and load them into Photos, but the site in question can't access them ( it only accepts .doc, .docx, PDF).

  • How to load externl files (PDF) into BLOB column.  Please help.

    Hi All,
    I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • Loading an AS2 Swf into an AS3 project

    I have a need to be able to load legacy AS2 SWF's into a new
    AS3 project. I know that this is not readily possible, because you
    can only communicate between the two via the LocalConnection class.
    So, what I have done is to create an AS2 proxy SWF. This SWF will
    handle the loading of all legacy SWF's and act as a middleman to
    pass the function calls between the pre-compiled SWF and the new
    SWF using the LocalConnection class. The new SWF also needs to be
    able to load AS3 SWF's, though.
    Because of this, I have the need to detect the AS version of
    the loaded SWF. If 1 or 2, then change the source to the
    AS2Proxy.swf, if 3 then simply load it.
    I have written the following code. My problem comes in when
    the init event fires. Regardless of the compiled version of the
    loaded SWF, it always traces 3 as the AS version.

    Alright, I solved this problem, only to come up with many
    more.
    To solve this problem, I needed to point to the loaderInfo
    object of the UILoader's content. So:
    simulation.content.loaderInfo.actionScriptVersion.
    Now the proxy loads correctly, but I start getting errors
    immediately. Let me paste some code to show the next steps:
    First off. I immediately receive a StatusEvent error, though
    the path gets sent into the proxy and loads correctly.
    Next, when the complete event fires in the AS2 SWF - it sends
    a completion back up to let the AS3 SWF know that it finished (and
    any handling that needs to happen at that point.) I receive the
    following error:
    Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095:
    flash.net.LocalConnection was unable to invoke callback loadSwf.
    error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property loadSwf not found on
    com.applied.flash.events.AS2Connect and there is no default
    value.
