Make ipa file of many swf files, combinely

Hii, i;m making small ipad applications using cs5 and as3. they are running individually well.
But now i want to combine them as one file., means user will get only home page, and he can select any application, and can use it.
as we know we make ipa file from one swf file.
i have created one homepage, on that there r 4 images, user can click on any image and he will go to that particular apps.
i did it using (swf calling dynamically using loader function) as we did it normally. now we know that if need to work my apps, it is imp that my all apps swf file and my main homepage .swf file should be in one place, so it will run properly.
Now i need to make ipa file of that homepage.swf, how can do that so my all application will work.
If my question didnt understood, that plz let me know.
i will try to explore it.
Thank you,
Pravin G

Hi Pravin,
You can just package the other swf files along with your main swf, and it should work. For example:
adt -package -target
The restriction is that you cannot load external swfs.
Please note that all the swfs other than the homepage.swf will be interpreted. So, if you have your main code residing in these swfs, you might see some performance issues. However, if you think your application performs well, then you can just use your existing code.
Otherwise, you need to refactor your code to work from one swf.
Thanks,
Sanika

Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT

Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description

I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
any idea to achieve this

How make a button open a .swf file in a new window?

How do I make a button open a swf file in a seperate window
new window (like if i opened to swf file seperately)
Anyone know ?

well you can publish the the other FLA, which would give you
an HTML file, upload that and the SWF then link to the SWFs' HTML
page.

How can I play many swf files back to back in AS3

I have many swf files
fileA.swf , fileB.swf, fileC.swf
I want to play them from a MainFile.swf back to back, fileA.swf , then fileB.swf then fileC.swf ...then to remove them and have the MainFile.swf only.
How is this done in AS3.
can anyone send me the code needed to do this. i don't know AS3 very well. I know how to do this in AS2 , i used to put code loadmovie in each files last frame that loaded the next file to a mc object in the mainfile.
I would apprciate to have all the code appear only in the main file without haveing to code each seperate swf file.

You should work out how to do it with just one file first in AS3. The approach to doing many sequencially would be similar to what you did in AS2... the simplest way being to add a command at the end of each swf to trigger the main file to remove it and add the next swf. I don't know of any way to detect the end of an swf... it has to tell you it's done.
In AS3 you use the Loader class to load swf and image files. You use the addChild family of methods to place things on the stage, and you use the removeChild family to get them out of the picture.

iPad do not support flash natively.
Look in the app store, some browsers do support flash with limited functionality.

Linking SWF file in another SWF file

Hi All,
I need to open a SWF file by clicking a a button in another SWF file(both SWF files are in the same folder). Can I use URL button(in Xcelsius 2008) for getting this done?

It is possible to use the URL button to open another SWF file. The SWF file would need to be hosted with an http address.

Collect many swf files as one in puplish

when I puplished my project ;it Produced many files of swf
I want to pull the entire swf files in one, as in older
versions

Hi aboradwaa and welcome to our community
Your mention of "as in older versions" makes me wonder what
version you are using? If it's version 3, you (and others) need to
alert the development team that you don't like the way version 3
doesn't offer up a way to produce a single .SWF. You may do that by
clicking
here and completing the form.
If you are using version 2, you accomplish this by publishing
in Flash version 6 format.
Cheers... Rick

How to make the stage transparent for SWF file being used in Dreamweaver

I have a SWF file in my Dreamweaver site, that plays correctly. The problem is that the stage is white and we would like it to be transparent. Searching the archives the following advice was given:
in your html embedding code you need to set the wmode parameter to be "transparent"
I'm wondering if this is the code in Dreamweaver or is this done in Flash. I'm working with CS5. Below is the code that matches the SWF file in Dreamweaver. I did change the wmode value from "opaque" to "transparent" and it didn't work.
Thanks for any assistance.

           </object>

Yes, change this to "transparent" in ALL the places where wmode is shown
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
Second, be sure that there is in fact nothing covering the entire stage, like a big white rectangle.
Also, what is directly behind the .swf once it's on the Web page? If the background color of that page or the <div> that the .swf is in is white..... well then then .swf can have a transparent background but then the white from the Web page just shows thru.... so there's still a white background.
Be sure there is a non-white background on the Web page...
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.

How do i play my videos in flash file after moving SWF file to website?

Hello all,
I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
Does anyone know how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
Sorry if I've waffled but I'm trying to clear up my situation .
Any help would be super, many thanks,
Flasher87

i am using the website wix, so in order to put the swf file up you just click the "Upload SWF" button, so i don't know how i could put the videos along with the swf, the swf is just sat on the page once i upload it.
second, when using this type of website do you know how i'd go about giving the website the permissions to play flv files?
Thank you.

Joining several swf files into one swf file

hello everybody
i've been dealing this issue for too long and decided to ask for help - how can I unite 15 swf files which placed in one folder to a one swf file???
i tried all kindes of merging softwares like "Join (Merge, Combine) Multiple SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and tried to convert swf to flv (cause i found other merging software for flv files) but again...
I have CS5 so if i'll have to open Flash for this i will, though i'm trying to avoid that and even then i'm gonna need full instructions.
All i need is this simple thing so i'll appreciate very much any help
Thanks & Good Day

Hi Ned
Again - thank you very much.
I've got the source files and i'm on the run now.. kind of..
I did as you recomצended and used a code from one of the AS3 UILoader tutorials , and it seems to work:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
var myLoad1 = "fastflipPage.swf";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myLoad1);
loader.scaleContent = false;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.load(request);
loader.load(request);
function progressHandler (event:ProgressEvent):void
status_txt.text = "Percentage Loaded" +
Math.round(event.target.percentLoaded);
function completeHandler (event:Event):void
status_txt.text = "Loaded Done";
So... i'm tring to find some answers to my next step : in the code above im loading only one file and i need to load 30 files so they could play one after another. i noticed that i can create many uiloader instances and load several external SWFs in the same scene without writing a script to each one of them... is that right? and if so, how can i do that???
I'm full of hope to figure this task, meantime will look for more answers
Thanks in advance

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 {

How to call a .swf file in another .swf file?

Hi all,
I am new to flash and ActionScript3.0. Presently, I am using
flash CS3 and the code I need is in ActionScript 3.0.
Suppose, I have a .swf file(viz., file1.swf). Now, i am
developing one more .swf file(viz., file2.swf), in which I need
to execute file1.swf when a CLICK event is listened on button
present in second file(i.e., file2.swf).
In how many ways, we can get this.
And, please I need code very urgently.
Help me.

You use the Loader class to load external content like swf's
or images. If
you click the main entry for Loader Class in the AS3 help,
there's an
example of loading an external swf.

File size of .swf files exported from Indesign CS5

I have made a basic file (728 x 90 px) in Indesign, which is the size of banner ads we produce. I have not put on any effect or animation yet. When I export it as a swf file, the file size is 139kb. This is way too large for any banner advertising on websites where the highest is normally 100px and the smallest is 30kb.
I have tried exporting at a lower resolution, but it has no effect on the file size, rendering this useless as a flash export option for me.
Is there something I'm missing or is Indesign just not the right tool for flash banner ads.
Thanks

Mr Met
{swf file that's 13MB. What are your images, 200MB each?}
As I said, I resampled the images to be 500px wide so each PShop image is about 1.4mb (single layer). There are 12 images used.
Here it is if you care to see i t- 11mb so it will take time to load

{The Right Tool for the Right Job ...}
No doubt you are a 100% right here.
But I think it is a bit disingenious to blame the InDesign user for the feature. It would be like Abobe putting Drop Shadows and transparences into ID and then saying you should use PhotoShop to for that feature!
