Main SWF that calls other SWFs convert to .mov, .avi, or .wmv

I have a SWF demo that calls multiple SWF files & 3 FLV files. I want to upload this to Facebook as one file - .mov, .avi, .wmv - whatever works.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if facebook supports all those files as they are right now, because making them all one mov is very hard. You will have to import all of them in one flash file and place everything on the main timeline (to export as video file from flash) you need every animation placed on the main timeline. And that will be very hard to import all of them and then rebuilding all together so they work properly.
One other solution would be to open your demo, use a video recording software as Camtasia (maybe you can find a free one) to record all of that content then mask the unwanted parts and exporting all as one video file.

Can I load a swf into my Flex app that loads other swf's?

The code below loads an AS2 swf into my Flex mobile for IOS app and it works. If that AS2 swf has like a circle in it that runs across the stage, it loads and displays properly when run in FlashBuilder.

But if that AS2 swf loads other swf's, they don't load or display. My FlashBuilder debugger reports no errors or security sand box violations.   I'm using the most elemental code in my AS2 swf so as to not cause problems. This is it in its entirety:
this.onLoad = function(){
          _root.loadMovie("http://[PATH_TO_REMOTE_SWF]");
The paths to the remote content are fine because swf's load and display fine from AS2 swf when run on it's own - not embedded in Flex app. They also load and run fine if I cut out the AS2 swf and access directly from my Flex code. So I know there isn't a path issue. More likely not accessing the right layer in the AS2 swf from Flex or something. Or maybe security sandbox violation but I don't see anything reported in the FlashBuilder debug console. When run console just reports:
[SWF] SwfMobile.swf - 2,639,761 bytes after decompression
[SWF] assets/swf/AS2.swf - 1,470 bytes after decompression
Is there something inherently wrong with loading swf's that load other things? Even if I have the AS2 swf load jpgs they don't load so the format of the target content at the end of the chain doesn't seem to be the issue. Just the act of embedding a swf that loads other things seems to be the problem.

Ah, yes. Using an AVM1 SWF could prove difficult...
I'm going on about 3 hours of sleep at the moment, but let me toss out a few thoughts I have and hopefully something will stick...
Ok, so my first thought what to try and cast the loaded content as a MovieClip and call methods on that, but the fact they are AVM1 throws that out the window.
That leaves LocalConnection, as you mentioned. But this would require you to have code on the receiving end to handle the connection... no good either.
But what if you created a "bridge" in AS2 that holds all the code for the receiving end of LocalConnection (or has the control logic itself, perhaps even eliminating the need for LocalConnection all together!). I think maybe this is what you were trying to do already by loading a SWF into a SWF? Well instead of loading your bridge at runtime, what if you statically linked it into your project as a class?
*a few moments later*
Well it looks like you can in fact link in a a symbol created for AVM1, but it will only come in as a SpriteAsset, and will not include any custom code (which makes sense, since they use entirely different class constructs).
To do the test, I created a symbol exported for actionscript (AS2/Flash8), then linked it in with a CSS style embed. I then instantiated the class and called describeType on it.
So in summery, it looks like calling custom code on the bridge is out (I did not test this extensively, that was just my first impression with this simple test). However, if you may be able to perform the actions you need by attempting to cast the loaded content into something AVM2 can recognize. Apparently it does this automatically when linked in statically, so maybe there is something there worth looking into... mainly, can you do what you need using only the base class and no custom code?
Keep me posted!

Insert SWF that calls external XML files and images

Hi
I am using Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows 7 system.
I have a PDF in which I have an SWF file. This SWF file contains text content that is called from an XML file and also some images that is called externally. I have added the folder that contains the XML file and the images by right-clicking the SWF > Properties > Resources > Add Directory. However, none of the content is loading.
I have tried adding the images and xml file separately as well. Even that did not work.
What could be wrong? Please advise.
Sreekanth

Debugging Flash content in a PDF from the Flash Pro or Flex editor is possible, but it's complicated (you need to juggle about with the SDK to load a special Acrobat plugin). If you're creating these SWFs yourself, the fastest way to debug is to add a bunch of ActionScript calls that report to Acrobat's console to tell you what's going on. Use ActionScript's externalInterface.call() and the Acrobat JS console.println() functions, just like if you were talking to JavaScript in a web page.
Rich media resources cannot be imported globally in Acrobat. In theory it's possible (the ISO standard allows XObject references to shared assets) but there's no authoring tool.

Exporting to one .swf when including other swf animations

Hi
When exporting my project to flash, three files are created.
I am not using any skins etc, I am just trying to incorporate two
animations (one per slide) and finish with one overall .swf file.
I have managed to do this in two other slides, though! Which
is most frustrating!
So just to reiterate:
When I publish the file, the two animations I am using are
exported again along with the rest of the publication. So I have
the main swf, which calls in the other two .swf animations when
required. I need to have just one file as a result.
Please help!!

Welcome to our community, t1mmie
Are you referring to the supplied animations? (Arrows,
Highlights, etc)
If so, there are a few that refuse to embed. For those, you
need to edit the source files in Flash and export from Flash as
Flash 6 format. Once you get them in Flash 6 format, add them again
and they should embed.
You may download the source files for animations that don't
have the source from the Captivate Exchange.

How do you use a main applet to call other child applets?

Hello Everyone!
I have created three separate applets that animate different colored walkers that walk across the web page with each applet doing what I need them to do. I need to create a main applet that displays a component that allows the user to select how many walkers(1-3) they would like to see displayed walking across the screen. The main applet should call only one walker applet if 1 is selected, call two applets if 2 is selected, or call all three applets if 3 is selected.
My textbook has covered how to call other classes in an application but not a main applet calling other applets. I have gone through the tutorials but have not found anything related to what I need to do. Google didn't have any good ideas.
Another possibility that would work would be to have one applet with each walker having its own method to be called based upon the selection. Then again, my textbook didn't cover calling methods within an applet.
Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated on these issue.
Thanks.
Unclewho

Remember, an Applet is nothing more than a Panel (or JPanel for a JApplet) - basically an empty graphics container waiting for UI or graphics commands.
You do not have a "main" applet as you do when you create an executable application which requires the 'main' method.
The best thing to do, is simply do an HTTP Redirect to a page created with the desired number of "walkers". In your cause, the most you'd need is 3 walkers, so 4 pages - 1 redirect page, and then a page with 1 walker, a page with 2 walkers, and a page with 3 walkers.

How can I export swf that calls a flv to avi?

I have a Flash movie that uses Actionscript 2.0 to trigger animations. The swf and flv files are separate though - the flv is called by the swf. There are cues in the flv that fire Actionscript events. How can I get the whole thing to export? I can convert the flv to an avi but I need the animations. Thanks for any help.

There is no method available in Flash Professional to convert SWF to AVI. You have to look for external applications which does the job for you. Check this site.

Load internal SWF and control other SWF

I have 96 questions with radio button responses that control
movie clips. They are all in the same swf but I want to separate
the questions and put them in a draggable, scalable movie clip so
that the user could move the question box as convenient. Most of
the ActionScript is associated with the MCs, responding to a radio
button listener object. The two SWFs must advance from frame to
frame synchronously.
Here is what I did:
1. Split the original FLA into 2 pieces, a MC FLA and a
Question FLA
2. Renamed rbListener as _global variable in MC FLA
3. Used this code in the MC FLA:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("loadQuestions_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
loadQuestions_mc._height = 400;
loadQuestions_mc._width = 600;
loadQuestions_mc.onPress = function():Void {
this.startDrag();
loadQuestions_mc.onRelease = function():Void {
this.stopDrag();
loadQuestions_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("containQuestions_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
loadMovie("mccolor4_SplitBottom.swf", containQuestions_mc);
4. Used this code in the first frame of Questions FLA:
function specifyListeningTargets () {
i = cellNumber;
eval("QA" + i).addEventListener("click", rbListener);
eval("QB" + i).addEventListener("click", rbListener);
eval("QC" + i).addEventListener("click", rbListener);
// Button pops up at x:400, y:600, What is 10? Depth?;
clicking button advances to next frame.
function popupNav () {
i = cellNumber
if (((eval("QA" + i).selection.data) > 0),
((eval("QB" + i).selection.data) > 0),
((eval("QC" + i).selection.data) > 0)) {
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Button, "popupNext_btn",
10, {label:"Go To Next Questions"});
popupNext_btn._width = 20;
popupNext_btn.move(250, 375);
function popupClicked() {
this.nextFrame();
_parent.nextFrame();
popupNext_btn.addEventListener("click", popupClicked);
5. Used this code in each frame of the Questions Fla:
stop();
cellNumber = 1;
popupNext_btn._visible = false;
popupNav ();
specifyListeningTargets();
Text

yes and yes: wait until loading is complete and then
reference the target movieclip or _level of your loadMovie(),
loadMovieNum() or loadClip() method.

Question about having a master sql scrpit/file that calls other sql files

I know that in SQL Plus, the following works:
master.sql:
@script1.sql
@script2.sql
@scriptn.sql
My problem is, I'm using the sql maven plugin and the jdbc driver doesn't seem to like the @script.sql syntax. So the question is two-fold. Is it possible to get this master script behavior using the jdbc driver and not SQL Plus. Second, is the @script.sql syntax, specific to SQL Plus?
Thanks!
Justin

The @<<script>> syntax is specific to SQL*Plus. I'm not familiar with the "sql maven plugin", so I have no idea whether it has some analogous syntax for calling scripts in other files or not. The JDBC API works just with SQL statements, not scripts, so whatever application (I'm guessing SQL Maven?) that is using the JDBC driver has to interpret the @<<script>> syntax.

Converting an MOV into an SWF

I was told that I need to use my Adobe software (Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Master Collection) to make this conversion. I have a customer that wants me to convert an MOV file to a Motion SWF file with the following parameters (What settings do I use, and how do I play the video back on my AVID computer?):
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING YOUR MOTION FILE
Motion Flash (SWF)
• Your motion ad must contain an action-script STOP on the last visual frame at least 3 seconds in prior to the end of your allotted time duration. (As for example, a 10 second spot must have all motion STOP around the 7 second mark – the remaining 3 seconds will simply remain stationary on
the last visual frame of creative). Looping files (repeating) won’t be accepted. Please keep in mind that this STOP command ensures your ad to run smoothly and will eliminate an abrupt ending.
• Recommended frame-rate: 15-20 fps.
• In general, avoid long tweens, 3-5 frame tweens are optimal. This also includes alpha fades and color shifts.
• No multi-level files or nested movie clips. Animation must be contained in (1) SWF file.
• Audio is not supported. Remove all audio tracks from the file.
• Be sure to resize and color correct images PRIOR to importing into Flash.
• Provide a "landing pad" (a single visual that doesn’t move at the end of the animation) designed to be at least 20% of the total length of your animation. The landing pad will enhance visual impact and provide headroom for an animation that might play too slowly.
• When exporting the .SWF, set JPEG quality to 50-60%, do not password the file.
• Avoid large amounts of text, or text under 10 pt. Screen images should be easily readable at a distance of 3 feet.
• Be aware that using programs like After Effects and Fireworks and then exporting the finished animation to .swf will generally result in poor performance since the export converts vector objects to bitmaps. Crisp edges and smooth playback are compromised.
• Review/ Test the final .SWF for color, quality and to ensure that all requirements have been met prior to submitting.

Basically you'll need to provide your own getParameter
method. It's easy with a java.util.HashTable -- the
parameter name as the key.that means that i would have to go back and change the old code, correct?

Loading External SWF that loads XML

Hey all I have a swf that loads an swf file into that loads pictures from an XML file thanks to Ned Murphy. I have a new problems with it. It works everywhere I try it except on the webserver. When I try it I get nothing. It doesnt seem to load the external SWf file or it may not be loading the XML file. I am not sure why. Has anyone ran into this before ? thanks.
EDIT
It works if I try the SWF from the webserver but when I embed it in an HTML file and run it through a broweser I get nothing.

If the swf is is another folder from the html page that embeds it, you probably need to adjust how you target the files that the swf's load.
When you embed an swf file into a web page, anything the swf loads has to be targeted as if that swf is in the same folder as the html page that holds it. So if the html page uses something like "flash/main.swf" to embed the top level swf, then if the top level file loads another swf from that same flash folder it needs to also use the "flash/other.swf" regardless that it is in the same folder on the server. When it's embedded in the page, it's as good as being wherever that page lives.

How can I control a button from one swf file to another swf file?

Hi,
I have a main.swf file. From that file I am accessing the external.swf file which is an external file.
Now, how can I write code on my main.swf file for the button which is on my external.swf file?
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn (This buttons is actually on external.swf file, but I want to write code on main.swf file to execute it on external.swf) how can I control one swf button on other swf file?
Thanks.

Here's some example code that you should be able to adapt to your needs.
// create a new loader object instance...
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// make the download request...
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
// add a complete event listener to the loader
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// start the actual loading process...
loader.load(request);
// create a new empty movieClip instance, you will put the loaded movie into this movieClip once its loaded
var externalMovie:MovieClip;
// this function is called when the download has finished and the file is ready to use...
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
   // set the contents of the loaded movie to the new empty movieClip...
           externalMovie = MovieClip(event.target.content);
   // add this new movie to the display list...
   addChild(externalMovie);
Now you can refer to the loaded movie with the instance name "externalMovie". So if, for instance, you want to address a button in the loaded movie, you could write something like this on the main timeline:
externalMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
function btnClickClose(event:MouseEvent):void {

Is it possible to call other applet?

Hi Friends..
I want to know, is it possible to "CALL" other applet from one Applet?..
And is it a good implementation or not?..
Could you describe the Applet that call other Applet, perhaps through the example application maybe..
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
You can call the process method on another applet if you wish (if it is in the same package) or you can use Sharable Object Interfaces (outlined in the user guide). We have used SOI extensively to share data between applets in different packages (and as such different contexts on the card).
Cheers,
Shane

How can I use internal frames with buttons to call others internal frames?

Hello.
I'm building a MDI-application using JFrames and several JInternalFrames, but I have problems.
A JFrame has JMenuBar with JMenu and JMenuItem. One of these, call the first JInternal that has its interface. In this interface has a button that call other type (a class extension of JInternalFrame) JInternalFrame.
When I clicked button happen a exception (java.lang.NullPointer).
What happening?
Help me, please.

What i usually do is to give my desktop to my internal frames. So within the internalframe, you can use your desktop and add other internal frames to it.
The code should look something like the following.
desktop = your JDesktopPane
MyInternalFrame = an InternalFrame
AnotherMyInternalFrame = another InternalFrame
public class MyInternalFrame extends JInternalFrame implements ActionListener
private JButton jb = new JButton("Launch");
private JLayeredPane desktop = null;
public MyInternalFrame(JLayeredPane desktop)
    this.desktop = desktop;
    getContentPane().add(jb);
    jb.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
    if (ae.getSource() == jb)
      desktop.add(new AnotherMyInternalFrame(desktop),JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER);
}

How to pause, stop, play a sound that is loaded from the other .swf file?

Pause and Resume external SWF sound files
I have this code that plays the sound through linkage. It reside in scene1.fla -> scene1.swf.
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1);
var myLoop:Sound = new Sound(mc);
myLoop.attachSound("bg_sound");
myLoopVolume=0;
myLoop.setVolume(myLoopVolume);
mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
    if (fadeIn01==1) {
        _root.myLoop.setVolume(myLoopVolume);
        myLoopVolume=myLoopVolume+5;
        if (myLoopVolume>50) {
            fadeIn01=0;
    if (fadeOut01==1) {
        myLoop.setVolume(myLoopVolume);
        myLoopVolume=myLoopVolume-1;
        if (myLoopVolume<5) {
            _root.myLoop.setVolume(10);
           // _root.myLoop.stop("myLoop01");
            fadeOut01=0;
fadeIn01=1;
myLoop.start(0,999);
The problem goes like this. I want to pause the sound from playing in scene1.fla -> scene1.swf in anytime I want, through my main.fla -> main.swf that loads the scene1 movie. I got stuck.

you need to use the path from the timeline that contains the controlling code and myLoop. you can always use trace(this) on both timelines (the one containing the controlling code and the one containing myLoop) to determine the correct path.

Are there any specific files (other than swf) that are not supported in the content viewer?

Are there any specific files (other than swf) that are not supported in the content viewer?

Specifically -- Is there a limitation as to any content in a PDF that would keep it from displaying correctly other than swf?
