Retrieve element path inside the flash movie

Hi,
I would like to refer to an element in a flash movie from the
outside, to do it i need the element path inside the movie.
for example i have a movie containing 4 frames, on the 4th
frame in have movie clip called "mc1" that contains 3 frames, on
the 3rd there is a movie clip called "mc2" that i should refer to
it from the outside.
To do it i need to go to frame 4 and then go to frame 3 in
"mc1".
Is there a simple way to retrieve this list of frames using
jsfl, action script or any other script?
Thanks
Maya

no, as long as the html file is not a valid XHTML file.
You could load some html code from a text file and place it
inside of a textfield with enabled html...if this is what you want
to do.

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

Editing swfobject.js code so hyperlinks inside the flash widget open in a new window

0down votefavorite
I have a flash calendar widget (code shown directly below) and I do not have access to anything other than the compiled .swf file (no access to .fla).
The widget contains some hyperlinks to other websites, these links are dynamic and changes based on a number of things.
There is also a corresponding swfobject.js file that is used to add functionality to the flash widget. The swfobject.js code is shown further down this post.
Currently, the way the code is now, when I click any of the hyperlinks that are available to me in the widget, the destination website that hyperlink takes me to opens in THE SAME PAGE as the flash widget which is a big problem.
I need to edit the code below so that any hyperlinks that are clicked inside of the flash widget open in a brand new browser window and do not take the user away from the original widget other than opening a new page with new content.
Because the hyperlinks that are available are always changing, the swfobject code below uses some functions and parameters.
I am hoping you can show me exactly what code I must insert, and exactly where I must insert it, in order to alter the behavior that happens so that when a user clicks one of the hyperlinks inside the flash widget, so that the content at the other end of the hyperlink opens in a new window, instead of opening in the same window.
See code below.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

In that case, I will have no choice but to decompile the .swf to get the .fla because the original .fla is un-obtainable. Unless there is a way to edit the contents of the .swf file without decompiling it.
I can see the code inside via various decompile tools and it seems that I would need to add the equivalent of <src target=_blank> to some of the lines I have shown below.
obj_xml.load(appurl + "loadconfig.aspx?calendarid=" + calendarid); -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
dest_page = appurl + "default.aspx"; -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
I know a lot of decompile tools can get you the code and the .fla but once you edit and re-compile and attempt to replace the original with the new & updated file, the decompiler did not necessarily generate the properly formatted flash pro project file, so compiling it back into an operational .swf often ends in failure.
Do you know or can you recommend a tool that has a very good track record of re-compiling the decompiled modified.fla into a workable and usable .swf?

Force flash to open file download box in front of the flash movie

Folks,
I'm making a dvd title using flash to auto start when people
pops the dvd disc in.
I have a button 'Click here to download the movie' and
clicking the button should pop up a file download box so people can
save the movie file(.mov) to their desktop.
Problem is that the file download box shows up behind the
flash movie so people won't be able to see the download box since
it's hidden behind the flash. This is critical since I intend the
flash to open as a full-screen mode.
Is there a way to force the flash to open the download box in
front of the flash movie?
I tried getURL and fscommand ("exec", "filename.exe") and
even fileReference commands to try different way of linking the
movie file, and they all open download box behind the flash.
Please help~~~

Please do not post the same topic in multiple forums. The
only thing I can suggest is when they click on the button to
download, you take flash out of full screen while they download the
video, you can use fileReference to control and monitor the
download. Use a listener object to monitor when download is
complete, then set flash back to full screen.
How are you scripting the full screen?

BPM Workspace can't display the flash movie with IE

Hi
We have the following problem, we have a BPM project with a flash screen, when we execute the project in the workspace of BPM studio we can see the Flash, but when we published the project in BPM Enterprise , the workspace can't display the flash movie, it just display the panel without buttons and fields. This happen just in Internet Explorer, in other browsers we can see the flash.
Any idea or solution ??
Thanks in advance

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

Can you have usable href(able) elements on top of flash movie?

I'd like to have several href-linked text elements on top of
a flash movie
that directs to different pages. With possibly each href in a
layer unto
itself.
I've already built a site www.trappio.net that has
href-linked text menu
navigation elements on top of a static background pic, but
I'd like to
substitute the pic for a .swf movie and still be able to have
the menu text
displayed on top of it.
Any ideas anyone on how i could pull this off?
-Adolphus

Thank you, Bill, your article will be very helpful. I appreciate it.
My question, However, is not getting answered, and either I am not getting it (which is highly likely) or I am not explaining my situation correctly, so I'm going to try and explain it in more detail if you don’t mind.
I understand the whole PIP solution and that helps me in part.
Here is what I have and what I am trying to do.
My video is 1280x720. On the right hand side there are candles lite. On the left hand side i have an image 724x504. I'm going to have images fade in and fade out with in this 724x504 frame. I would also like to pan and zoom the image within the 724x504 dimensions. To do that I need my images to be larger than 724x504. I don't want to scale ALL the images to 724x504 in Photoshop then bring them into PrPro because I wont be able to pan and zoom the image. I need some sort of Mask, like in Photoshop, but don't think I can do it in PrPro. I want the viewer to only see the 724x504 frame and not the excess of the image needed to pan and zoom.
I hope I was clearer in describing my issue.

How to retrieve data from inside the folders in SharePoint SSRS

Hi ,
How to get the data from inside the folders and subfolders.
How can I do that.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/15451351-4ee2-428c-a0b7-135810e4cbfa/action?threadDisplayName=ssrs-reports-sharepoint-list-datasource-how-to-retrieve-items-from-subfolders
Here the information is not given.
Regards
Vinod

Hi Vinodaggarwal87,
According to your description, you want to retrieve data from sharepoint list in a sub folder. Right?
In this scenario, we should select the XML data source type and in the connection string provide the
List.asmx service URL when creating data source. Then we need to use the List web Service and specify "recursive" for ViewAttribute in Lists.asmx. For detail steps, please refer to the links below:
Generate SSRS report on SharePoint List with folders using List Service.
SSRS: how to specify ViewAttributes when creating a report against a SharePoint's list
If you want to set the ViewAttribute on CAML query level. You need add the view tag outside of query tag:
<View Scope="RecursiveAll">
    <Query>
        <Where>...</Where>
    </Query>
</View>
Reference:
View Element (List)
ViewAttributes Recursive Scope not working SharePoint 2013 CAML Query to fetch all files from document library recursively
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Retrieving Jar path in the HD from within the jar?

I have a small problem. I wrote a program which is packed in a jar file and this program is able to compile and run java files (Which I do by running javac and java processes) but the kind of files that this program compiles requires some other libraries inside the same package (In the jar file) so I am wondering how can I retrieve the jar path in the harddisk from within this jar because at the moment I ask the user where the program is and I think it is kind of ugly to ask the user where the program is from within the exact same program we are looking for.
Hope I made myself understandable.

Exporting the flash movie with all the associated files linked in?

Hey guys i have a movie that has a swf player practically on every page playing a number of different videos.
When I export it usually and play it on another computer the flash file won't play the videos as they simply are not there!
Is there a way I can export the file, play it on any computer and still see the videos?
Thanks
Steph! xx

If you build the video into the swf file rather than loading it dynamically it should play on any computer that has the Flash Player. Or if you load it all to a server then you can test it online using any machine that has internet access. Otherwise you need to bring the videos along with the swf when you test it on other machines.

When opening the website, the Flash movie is so slow to upload.

Why is it that the flash animation is so slow to upload to the site...Is this something I need to do or something to discuss with the server folks at Godaddy?

If you just have one SWF file, then you might want to try this tutorial http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3preloader/
Basically, you will be monitoring the bytesLoaded of bytesTotal
var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
Or try to search other tutorials with keywords "preloader" and "AS3". If you encounter any problems, feel free to ask.

Why there is a border around the flash movies?

I have a homepage with an embedded flash .swf object. It is
perfect when viewed with IE/ flash player 8 in Win2000 environment,
but when it is viewed with IE/flash player 8 in WinXP environment,
there is a border around the flash .swf object when the mouse
cursor in over the object. The border makes the page disgraceful.
Is there any method to get rid of the border without clicking the
mouse? Grateful if anyone can help.

just search the forum or google for "active content" - this
has been international front page news
for weeks as it stems from a Eolas/Microsoft patent lawsuit -
it has been discussed here everyday
since the lawsuit was decided in favor of Eolas - google
returns millions of returns - you should
have little problem finding out what it is, why and how to
incorporate a work-around to suit your neds.

The new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 does not display images in the flash movie.

In the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 the images are not displayed. In previous versions they are displayed. Tested on several computers. This is not a local problem. This is a problem of Adobe. The bad news is that the early versions are very hard to find and reinstall it.
Many different systems tested. And all browsers.
Now there is no big image.

hi i have noticed the same problem. also with Chrome and FP ver 11.5.31.2and Firefox and Safari with FP 11.5.502.110
it seems that MovieClipLoader class not returning onLoadInit event. I use to add a fadein function on loadInit to fade in the loaded images. with the latest Flash PLayer versions this is not activated so you cannot see the loaded images.
I have tested this on 3 different systems and the problem is the same. I have not updated my FP for IE. There, the older FP still works well.

Sizing the Flash Movie Window with HTML

Hello,
I don't know why I'm having such a problem with this, but I'm
trying to open my Flash Player in a locked dimention (600 x 450).
what's happening is an <a href is opening the html file
published with the swf... which in turn of course launches the
swf... I've been trying to make the swf pop up at 600x450 but so
far no luck. It just pops up as the same size as the previous
window. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? oh, i'd also like to
have the swf pop up without the menus/toolbars/etc.
Thanks!

You don't say or show what you've tried, so it's difficult to
show what
you've done wrong.
From your description it sounds like you want to open a new
custom
chromeless window. To do that, you need to use the Javascript
window.open() method.
You can find thousands of examples in this forum with a
simple search.
You can also google "window.open" and get thousands more
examples.

rgds,

Can we import a SWF (catalyst) inside a flash movie.

Example :
loadMovie("MyCatalyst.swf", ...)
I'm trying doing that but nothing comes up !
Thank you

Yes you can. The first thing is when you publish your project, make sure that you choose the "Build to view offline" option. This will roll all the Flex Framework into the resulting swf. This will be mean your resulting swf will be larger. Also note that your FLA must use ActionScript 3.
Here is some sample code to load the swf into your Flash Professional project.
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var url:String = "Main.swf"; //The Catalyst made swf
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
ldr.load(urlReq);
addChild(ldr);
Hope this helps.
