[Need help with a swf file]

Hello,
I need help with a flash demo that I am creating. I have a
main swf file that contains links to other sub swfs that I have
created. What I really want this to do is... when I click on one of
the link on the browser, the other swf have to load in the window.
I tried to code it with .loadMovie,.... but for some weird reason,
it is not showing up.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

you might have a security violation and you do have a
load-target issue. remove that "_parent": there's no 2nd parameter
in the loadMovie() method.
if you want to replace the main swf with that url, loading
into _root is fine. otherwise, you want to use a different
target.

I created several SWF files, now i want them to interact with each other
So there is main SWF file lets call it:
main.swf
then within that file(main.swf) i would like to create buttons which will be calling other swf files for instance by pressing one button one.swf will be open by pressing other button two.swf will be open and so on.
Then I would like to create buttons within one.swf and two.swf which will allowed to go back to main.swf
If someone could help me how to do it I will be grateful.
AS2.0 i am working with
many thanks

thanks for quick respond
So the first of all my main.swf would load, within it i would have a button. If i click on button will take me to frame 40 ( just example ) where i will have this.loadMovie("first.swf"), when this file will be loaded i want to have other button with in the first.swf which will take me back to main.swf and now you are suggesting to use this.removeMovie("first.swf")?
I am not sure if i got you answer right
Thanks again for help i am quite new to ActionScript as you can tell.

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Need Your Help with Swapping SWF files

Hello,
I am need to swap Two SWF files. I am acheving this by make
one swf as a holder. call it main.fla main.swf file. Embed that
file into my html document. In that file I placed one button with
the
following action :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("second.swf", 1);
in that file have a button with action to load the 3rd file :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("3rd.swf", 1);
by loading them in same level (1) they will replace each
other. My problem is that my SWF files obtain some information
using combination of PHP and XML file. I have noticed when I place
the SWF with it’s required PHP and XML in separate folders
the SWF file is uploaded (swapped) but since the PHP files are NOT
run by the server my dynamically generated XML files are empty and
therefore the uploaded SWF file has not information expect the SWF
file. Is there any way to get round this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help and hope you have a great
day.
Cheers,
Babak

Need help with .cr2 RAW-files

Hi,
I've installed Aperture 2.1.2, and the newest RAW compability update (2.5).
However, when I try to work with RAW files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera (nothing big, I know), all I see is "Unsupported image format".
I really need help with this quick. The RAW files are in .cr2 format.

as a last resort ...
this is the update that added support for 1000d ... however the 3 releases post this should have it too ...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate22.html
but you can roll back your raw compatibility and see if that works ... then progressively go forward to current and see if/where the problem lies ...
you could try a re-install of 2.5 ...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_RAW_Compatibility_Update_25
info on rolling back the update is in this thread:

Need your Help with Swapping SWF File Problem

Hello,
I have two separate Flash SWF files which I would like upload
into the same HTML file. But I would like to load only one of them
at the time and would like to have a Button on each SWF Flash file
which causes the other SWF to be loaded.
hmmm.. I am not sure if I managed to make sense. :o) Let me
try it one more time. :o) I would like to swap one SWF file for
another SWF file by clicking on the buttons which are placed on the
SWF files! :o)
I was wondering if that is possible or I should think of
another way to get around this problem of mine.
Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.
Cheers,

I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive

Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!

I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

Need help with embedded SWF Playing

I have an embedded SWF file (A 4 photo slide show) created in Flash Professional CS5, Action script 3, flash player 10 selected.
I have placed this into the flash catalyst CS5 file. The file previews in the browser perfectly.
The problem is when published it will not start the slideshow until you refresh the browser (Safari and FireFox) the local version runs fine
the published version does not even when uploaded to the web server. www.ngambaisland.com
This site was woking properly before I made some changes to the slide show and rebuilt the file to optimize it for loading performance.
Please help if you can,
Many Thanks,
Curtis

Thanks for looking but I have tested the website on 5 different computers an the slide show only activates after you hit the screen refresh button.
I am afraid I am a bit limited in flash. You mentioned to check access settings. I used the default action script 3 settings in the publish settings.
Could you please be more descriptive as what to look for or what settings I would need to change?
Thanks for your help.

Help with inserting SWF file into .html page

I created a photo gallery in Flash CS5.5, using the advanced photo gallery template. It works fine as a standalone SWF file but it's not displaying properly when I try and insert it into the Gallery page of my website.
The thumbnails are showing as blank white boxes and the main image holder isn't showing at all, though the controls beneath it are showing. The SWF file and all the images are stored in site/images/gallery/ and my Gallery page is in the root. What's going on here? Can anyone help please?
Thanks

If you are storing any of your Flash assets in sub-folders and having problems... it's most likely because of pathing problems. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
Best wishes,
Eye for Video

What it boils down to is that you need to path the Flash assets from the Web page that you place the main .swf on... NOT the physical location of the .swf

I need help with this zip file so that I can let Dreamweaver do what it do.

I need help. I bought a web design from a company called Envato. And file is zip, I heard that you use Abobe Illustrator to unzip the file, but I've tried that and got nothing. I've just download Dreamweaver with hopes that would work and again nothing. I NEED HELP!!!!

To unZip a folder of files, you need to use a decompression utility such as WinZip, StuffIt or 7-UP. Do you have either of those on your system? If not get one & install it now.
Open ZIP in your utility and EXTRACT all contents to your DW Local Site Folder. If you have not defined a Local Site Folder in DW yet, do that now by going to Site > New Site.

Need help with embedded SWF in PDF as navigation

Hi,
I was wondering is there a way to have an embedded swf navigate to different pages of a pdf?
Example:
My swf is on page one. There are mulitple buttons in the swf, when clicked it will take you to page 3, or 5, or 7, etc.
Currently, when I click on a button, it DOES take me to say page 4, but the content on page is the SWF file from page 1, and not the content that is suppose to be on page 4. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
This is what I have in the flash action:
btn_1994_1.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, p1994 );
function p1994(e:MouseEvent):void{
     //addChild(pop_1994);
     doExternalInterfaceCall("gotoTarget", "pink");
function doExternalInterfaceCall(myfncall, parm)
    flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(myfncall,parm);
And this is what I have in the javascript of the pdf:
function gotoTarget(name)
     this.gotoNamedDest(name);
Please help me fix this problem.
Thanks in advanced!
ps. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro

can anyone help?

I need help loading a swf file in a flash website

Hi,
I am an interactive design student working on a flash portfiolio and need help. I can't figure out how to load a game I made in flash into my porfolio so that it loads after clicking on a button, becomes playable, then have a button to leave the game and go back to my portfolio. I'm working in Actionscript 2.0 because that's all my teachers will show me and I have minimal actionscript knowledge.
Thanks,
Emily

I thought I got it to work with loadMovie, but it only plays the intro, and then either repeats or exits as soon as the first bit of actionscript starts

Help with publishing .swf files in iweb...

Hi,
I am trying to publish .swf files into my website. I have uploaded the files in my idisk in the 'Web' 'Sites' folder where the rest of my website files are held. I have used Roddy's html snippet...
<iframe width="420" height="420" frameborder="0" src="http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf"
</iframe
When I publish and visit my site I get asked for my username and password for idisk(?) I have not set this (I've checked). Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening. Have I uploaded my .swf files to the wrong place maybe?
Thanks in advance

ALWAYS define URLs from --the-- your visitor's browser point of view.
http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf
should be

Need help with multiple iTunes files

i had iTunes songs/files on an old pc for years, backed up on an external hard drive. i then backed up that external drive with another newer external drive and hooked that newer drive to the mac. i then imported all songs onto the mac iTunes library.
now when i look at the song list in iTunes on the mac, there are three versions of every song - the first one will play but the next two versions give me the explanation point next to them and say they can't be found. HOW DO I ELIMINATE THE SECOND AND THIRD COPIES OF EACH SONG THAT CANNOT BE FOUND - TRYING TO CLEAN THINGS UP.
thanks

This technique should help you identify which entries need to be removed.
Lost & Found Playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. Cmd+A should select all and Option-Delete should delete them.
Or try Super Remove Dead Tracks.

Need help with a manifest file

I'm trying to make a jar file executable, and I've seen numerous questions and answers regarding this particular issue, and none of them helped me with my problem.
I have a batch file that runs the application without any problem, but when I try to create a manifest with the main class attribute copied char by char from my batch file and run it, I get a message "could not find the main class".
I been browsing the web for the past 4 hours* now and the only type of answers I see for that problem is something like this:
...Main-Class... "${main.class}".
This type of solution is worthless to me, since it doesn't tell me why my path is correct when I use the .bat file and incorrect when used in a .jar file.
Thanks,
Omer.

I read there the related topics.
However, it wasn't even close to being helpful.
I'm using ant and the inner build.xml syntax is probably eluding me somewhere.
In fact, if it was possible to find an example build file that was written for ant 1.6 or later and contains the Main-Class attribute (I've seen some examples that contain an example file, but none of them contained the Main-Class attribute, and I found some Main-Class examples but none of them showed where they should go or how they should appear within the manifest file.
I'm at the point when I'm about to give up the whole idea and provide the unprofessionally looking .bat file.
I thank anyone who has put his mind to this issue, but if there is no build.xml example, I guess you can't help me.
Thanks anyway.
It's frustrating to see how the most flexible language there is to work with when coding, becomes next to impossible to work with when you need to deploy it.
Update, 30.04.2008:
I have managed to figure out that the problem wasn't with the main class, but with the classpath.
I run the program from Intellij, and everything works perfectly. I use a batch file, and perfect. I try to use an Ant generated jar with the classpath attribute set exactly like the batch file's paths, and nothing.
There is no error message either.
The classpath is located under "/lib/*.jar" in the distribution directory, where the "program.jar" is located.
I have come to the point that i would pay to see a proper working build.xml and to see the relative and absolute paths of the classpath.
This is actually harder than developing an extremely rich server application.
