Spark Image can't scale embedded SWF symbols?

Can anyone help me make sense of this?
Using Flex 4.5.1 (Spark only compile) I've found that the new Spark Image control works inconsistently when loading SWF at runtime and embedding SWF symbols. See these two situations:
1) OK - Spark image loads a whole SWF in runtime. Swf loads OK and scales up to desired size with perfect smooth anti-aliased edges
2) Not OK - Spark Image loads an embedded swf symbol as follows:
<s:Image source="@Embed(source='embedded/GeneralSymbols.swf' , symbol = 'komodoDragon')" x="250" y="35" height="200" />
( or using a bindable class )
And the image is pixelated and totally unusable.
It seems unfortunately that when embedding Swf Symbols ( which is a big element of the Adobe Flex - Flash - Illustrator workflow ) the "vector" images are reduced to bitmaps at their original size and don't scale.
I know spark swfLoader is a possible option - but surely it's too heavy for loading many images?

Hi Ged_mc.
Did you find the answer to this?
I'm using Flex 4.6 SDK and having the same problem. It's kind of dumb, isn't it?
Especially since I'm migrating an application from Flex 3 to 4.6 and it worked perfectly in the previous version.
Thanks!

Embedding SWF symbol with embedded video

AFAIK from Google search result, there is no official support
on embedding flv/mov into flex yet, so I take an alternative route,
which is not success yet.
I have built a swf with Flash 8 as the library of assets.
Inside the library, there are 12 videos set to be controlled by the
timeline, each is placed into a MovieClip with identifier set as
"videoSymbol1"..."videoSymbol12" respectively.
Then I use a class to collect all these embedded MovieClips.
However, if I try to create a few objects of different
classes within the same screen update interval, mostly all the
objects becomes the last called class on display, or the Video
inside the movie become damanged. However, if the object belongs to
the class "symbolCls_1", it will just be fine.
By running code in the Action Code section inside the code
attached, only c1 displays the correct video, while all c2 to c12
display either messed-up video or the video of symbolCls_12.
However, if I create objects of one same classes, it is just
fine.
Other than loading external flv, see if there is any other
solutions on this. Thanks in advance.

My ultimate goal is to embed all the assets and program into
one swf for deployment as I don't feel comfortable exposing the
assets. And, since these assets are created and destroy very
frequently, I'm wondering the performance issue if I use SWFLoader
to load it just when I need to put the video on stage.
What about loading the external swf's as a template, and do a
byte-clone on creating the video instance?

Embedding Button symbol from swf

Hi,
I am embedding a Button Symbol into Flex from from a swf. The Button inside the swf has an up and over state. Now I embed the symbol into an image in Flex. The image is in one of my states.
All works fine initially in Flex as far as the up over state. Now the The problem is when I go back to the base state and then back to the state with the embedded swf symbol.....it initializes still in the over state, until I mouse over then mouse out and now its in the Up state.   What could be the probelm here??
thanks for taking time to look at this!

Alex,
I'm not following you, why do I need a button?.....can create Mouse over and out events like this?:
var event:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEventMouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER.);
myImage.dispatchEvent(event);
var even2t:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEventMouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT.);
myImage.dispatchEvent(event2);
would this work?
BTW any idea if this is a Bug or known issue that I'm experiencing?

Using swf for source of spark image

Hi, I'm not sure if something changed in flex 4.5.1 but I have a published version of my app from earlier (flex 4.0) that uses a spark image control and I'm able to assign a swf as the source and it displays no problem. I just tried in my newest version and I recieve an error "Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@e523f91 to flash.display.Bitmap". I'm not trying to access any properties -- just setting '.source = abc.swf'.
Anyone have any idea why I can't assign a swf to an image control anymore?

Yeah, it was harder than I thought it would be. I got it to display with this subclass of BitmapImage, but I didn’t beat it up so there might be other issues:
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import spark.core.IGraphicElement;
import spark.core.DisplayObjectSharingMode;
import spark.primitives.BitmapImage;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public class MyBitmapImage extends BitmapImage
    private var imageWidth:Number;
    private var imageHeight:Number;
    override protected function measure():void
        super.measure();
        measuredWidth = imageWidth;
        measuredHeight = imageHeight;
    override public function canShareWithPrevious(element:IGraphicElement):Boolean
        return false;
    override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
        super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
    override protected function contentComplete(content:Object):void
        var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = content as LoaderInfo;
        // For untrusted content we must host the acquired Loader
       // instance directly as our DisplayObject.
       displayObjectSharingMode = DisplayObjectSharingMode.OWNS_UNSHARED_OBJECT;
        invalidateDisplayObjectSharing();
        // Create a content holder to use as our display object.
       var contentHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
        setDisplayObject(contentHolder);
        contentHolder.addChild(loaderInfo.loader);
        // Retain our source image width and height.
       imageWidth = loaderInfo.width;
        imageHeight = loaderInfo.height ;
        // Update
       if (!explicitHeight || !explicitWidth)
            invalidateSize();
        invalidateDisplayList();
        // Dispatch ready event
       dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.READY));

Hiya, Mike,
It's pretty tough to work through pasted-in code. If you can, please upload a page to a server, so we can see your pages in context. We'll be able to download it and look at it.
That said, you can do this: Find the beginning of an editable region in Code View. It will look like this:

Click anywhere in that tag, between the opening bracket and the closing bracket.
Then, on the vertical toolbar on the left side of the Code window, click on the "Collapse Full Tag" button. It is the one with two arrows pointing at each other. This will collapse that entire editable region. Then click the button with the two arrows pointing away from each other. That will re-open the editable region, but will highlight it.
If you have nested regions, you will find the other inside one of the editable regions. If you copy the <!-- InstanceBeginEditable and do a search on it in that document, you will find the nested region.

Thanks John,
I've downloaded the exif tool + the gui - I can see how it's meant to work and have successfully processed a single file (even when I got the name wrong it still copied exif time data!)
I'll investigate further on how to do a batch and use command line
Really appreciate your prompt response to my problem.
I will let you all know how I get on - will take quite a few weeks but I am confident I can get there!
Thanks Mike
A week later I've now got back into this. I used the exif gui tool - which was very simple to use once I sat down with peace and quiet for 10 mins! I successfully copied and updated the correct exif data including capture time from the original backup files. My metadata keywords remained untouched when I then updated the metadata setting from disk in lightroom.
exif is a great tool, and I found it easier to use than AM pro - I couldn't see the photo attributes in the trial download so made it hard to sort by date.
Anyway my problem was overcome thank you

Can you place a swf as the background image property?

Hi,
Below is a link to a homepage i am building and the client want's to have sound/flashing lighning built in to the background. The sound is no problem but I am worried I can't get a swf that size to load quickly.
Thank you in advance.

Far too big at 1.2MB and GIF is the wrong format.for this image.
Go back to the source image and export it as a JPG (Save For Web in Photoshop) from your favourite image editor.
You can make a Flash file seem like it's the background of the page, without actually being coded that way
e.g. http://www.aleosoft.com/flashtutorial_flashbackground.html
This was trendy a while ago on the web but rare these days, esp on a business website.

Embedding swf files in AIR app for ios

Hi,
After going through a lot of articles already available, I found answers with varying views on the following questions:-
1) Can we embed swf files using the embed tag in air app for ios, with symbols exported ?
Something like [Embed(source="someSWF",symbol="exportedSymbol")]
and also something like [Embed(source="someSWF")].
From what I understand, one can't embed swf's with actionscript byte code in them. So exporting symbols actually creates class linkages which leads to creation of abc. But I'm unsure on this because some sources say otherwise.
2) Can we embed swf files using embed tag in air app for ios, without symbols exported ?
Something like [Embed(source="someSWF")]
and also something like [Embed(source="someSWF" mimeType = "application/octet-stream")]
I read somewhere else, that you can actually embed symbols separately by providing symbol tag in embed tag but not entire swf (which leads to uncompiled actionscript error) but not sure about this as this is contradictory to finding #1.
3) If #2 is possible, then do embedding two different swfs with same symbol names would cause a conflict and result in #3747 error ?
Please note I am not asking about the Loader class here but using the Embed keyword for embedding swfs.
Also do the results differ with AIRSDK 3.8 and 3.9 and using different swf-version in compiler flags ?
In our application we started getting error #3747 in class creation of one of the embedded swfs (like new EmbeddedClass()) when we changed from swf-version 17 to 21 using AIRSDK 3.8. So was this error not there earlier or it was there but swf-version was suppressing it ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

I am fairly sure that the answer to your questions is: “no”.
For embed to work the AIR app would have to be working in interpreter mode, and that can work for local testing, but can’t work for submitting apps. An easy change for you to do would be to use SWCs instead of Embed. Other than that you’re looking at Loader, but also a tricky command line build of the app.

Embedding SWF Not Working Right? (FB 4.7 issue?)

Hey guys, I recently downloaded FB 4.7 and noticed something changed when compiling and running my project.
I have the following code in one of my classes. It simply embeds a symbol from a SWF and adds it to the stage as a MovieClip:
[Embed(source="/../lib/swfs/splash_screens.swf", symbol="Splash1")]
private static const Splash1:Class;
_splash1 = new Splash1();
addChild(_Splash1);
_splash1.play();
Now, in this MovieClip in the FLA there are two layers, one layer is a bunch of vector animation and the second layer is the background (as an imported Bitmap) - no animation.
The problem is that second layer with the background doesn't show up in my project after I've embedded and added the MovieClip to the stage, it's as if the MovieClip has a transparent background with just the first layer with all of the vector animation showing up.
Things I've tried/noted:
The background layer is not a guide and is visible if I play the raw SWF to just see what it looks like
If I add other layers and just draw nonsense on them, etc - they do show up
If I trace the background Bitmap (turns it into vector art) it will show up
If I convert the background Bitmap to a Graphic or MovieClip and then put it on the stage, it still doesn't show up
It seems FB 4.7 is grabbing the correct symbol from the library, it's just not grabbing the background (which is also in the library, as an imported Bitmap) which I feel it should, since it's included in the MovieClip symbol
Now I understand there are workarounds that I can always use as a last resort (embedding the background JPG and adding it to the stage as a Bitmap separately at runtime), but I'd prefer to have this working correctly so if things change visually in the future, it's less work for me.
I'm pretty sure when I originally coded this when using FB 4.6 I did not have this issue (and since then nothing has changed at all, not the code or the SWF file). This is why I'm led to believe it's either a FB 4.7 issue or maybe there's something extra I need to do to the FLA before exporting the SWF file.
Any help appreciated!

First things first, to eliminate the silly stuff, you have a typo in the code you have there which would break things - addChild(_Splash1); should be addChild(_splash1); (capital S). Is this a copy error or is it in your actual code?

Flash cs4 nothing visible in library or stage but can see it in swf

Hi,
I'm not sure what I've done - symbols, graphics, text are visible in swf but not on stage in workspace or in library. I wonder if I've accidentally reset something. I was trying to import an .ai graphic into a flash cs4 file when this first happened - the graphic was not visible in the workspace but could be seen in swf. Now I can't see anything in any flash file I open even ones that have been fine previously. Just blank workspace and blank library window when select symbols in library. If I try to draw something, or insert text, it disappears as soon as I switch to selection tool but is visible if I look at the swf (control enter). Please help - much appreciated!
The project window is just a white blank square in the developer workspace too.

Thanks for the advice. But what I didn't make clear was that I can't use Flash at all now because nothing is visible in ANY file I open. The symbol names can be seen in the library but there is no image in the library window and no image visible if I open a symbol from the library. This is true in every single flash file I have. This has all happened since I tried to open the .ai file which had CMYK elements so I thought this was why that graphic was not visible. The problem is that now nothing is visible in ANY .fla file, even ones that worked fine a few days ago. Also projects are not visible in the project window which is just a white blank. If I open a new file and type text in, it is only visible as long as the text tool is selected. If I deselect the text tool, the text disappears. If I draw a rectangle, it is only visible while the rectangle tool is selected. If I deselect the rectangle tool the rectangle I have drawn disappears. However, both text and rectangle are visible in the swf. I thought maybe I had accidentally changed some setting. I have tried pressing Ctrl Alt Shift while opening flash to reset defaults but this didn't make a difference.

The embeded swf doesn't play...

Hi
I'm trying to embed a swf that was created with a flash gallery making program into a pdf file but it just never works properly. I've also tried converting it into pdf but that doesn't work either. Once I convert it/embed it all I see is a white/black square. However if I embed other smaller swfs most of them just work fine. Could the problem be that the swf is too large? Can anybody please figure out the problem? I've been trying everything for the past 3 days and I'm awfully desperate Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

Acrobat and OS make no difference, but the version of Flash Player that the gallery targets will make a difference - Acrobat and Adobe Reader currently won't play content designed for Flash Player 11.
The other problem can arise when the gallery is using external assets (image files, XML configuration files, etc.) as these must be available after embedding. You should attach them using the Resources tab on the Rich Media Annotation dialog box (right-click your embedded SWF in Acrobat and choose Properties), but if the gallery is written to expect certain folder structures it may not like being sandboxed inside a PDF file.

Embedded swfs max number

Is there a maximum number of swf assets I can embed in an fla using this syntax:
[Embed(source ="../swfs/swf1.swf", symbol = "symb" )]
var SWF1:Class;
var swf1:MovieClip = new SWF1();
swf1.gotoAndStop(1);
[Embed(source ="../swfs/swf2.swf", symbol = "symb" )]
var SWF2:Class;
var swf2:MovieClip = new SWF2();
swf2.gotoAndStop(1);
[Embed(source ="../swfs/swf3.swf", symbol = "symb" )]
var SWF3:Class;
var swf3:MovieClip = new SWF3();
swf3.gotoAndStop(1);
I'm doing this in flash cs5 with a bout 20 or 30 swf files and at one point it compiles but some or all movieclips are shrunk down to one blank frame.
I check using this:
var allPages:Array = [swf1,swf2,swf3...];
var t:int = 0;
for each(var clip:MovieClip in allPages) {
    var f:int = clip.totalFrames;
    t+=f;
    trace(f);
trace(t);
trace(this.totalFrames);
Sometimes this code above does not even get executed and the compiled swf does not respond at all.
Each swf contains anywhere between 500 and 3500 frames. Sometimes I embed the same swf multiple times to grab different symbols in it.I have had no luck determining the root of the cause:
-number of embedded swfs?
-size of the embedded swfs?
-number fo frames in an embedded swf?
-total number of frames in the main swf?
Can anyone help?

I don't think Apple has ever published the limit of Public (WAN-side) IP addresses that can be handled by its AirPorts or Time Capsules.
... and yes, they can "point" to different devices on the LAN. To allow for the distribution of these Public IP addresses, the Connection Sharing option should be set for: Distribute a range of IP addresses, from within the AirPort Utility.

Place button rollover image on top of external swf

I have a menu that when you click on a button, an external swf is called up. However I would like for the buttons in the Over and Down state to show an image on top of the external swf with a description of what the video is about (Basically when they rollover the button).
The problem is that the image shows behind the external swf. I cannot get it to appear on top of the external swf. I have tried putting the buttons layer on top of the actions layer but that doesn't work.
I have not been using Flash for very long but I need to know if there is ActionScipt that can solve my problem or any other way to solve this issue. Please help. Thank you.

This is what appeared now in my Output panel.

Why do audio tracks for embedded .swfs for Slide 14, 25 and 36 audio tracks auto play on Slide 1?

I have created a Captivate course with no audio.
Slide 14 in the course has an inserted .swf animation WITH audio (a demo with ‘Kate’s voice’).
Slide 25 in the course has an inserted .swf animation WITH audio.
Slide 36 in the course has an inserted .swf animation WITH audio.
These animations are ‘hidden’ in the slide 14, 25, 36 Properties, and are told to ‘show’ when user clicks a button on the slide.
When published to my hard drive, the course runs as it should, and the animations play correctly when user clicks the play button on slides 14, 25 and 36.
When published course is uploaded to a file server, the course runs as it should, and the animations play correctly when user clicks the play button on slides 14, 25 and 36.
When published course is uploaded to a web server, all 3 .swf animations show up for a split second, (plus 2 other small animated images) one after another, and then disappear, and then the audio of the 1st starts playing, 5 seconds later the audio of the 2nd starts playing, and 5 seconds later the audio of the 3rd starts playing.
The odd thing about this is that once the course is in the Internet Brower cache and the course is refreshed, the audio of the 3 embedded .swfs does not start playing on slide one, and the course works as it should.
Can you please tell me what to do to make the 3 .SWFs NOT execute when slide one of the course is opened?

Did you ever get an answer to this question? Since you have partial success, perhaps you can share some info. My main .swf is loaded on a web server and links to other URLs works well but links to other .swf that are loaded in the same directory as the main .swf do not activate at all..no sound, no visual. Did you load your sub-swf files in the same directory? did you use a special naming scheme? did you load the .html file for the sub-swf?

Video playback in embedded swf

Hi,
I'm building a website in flash catalyst that uses an embedded swf also created in catalyst. The site is for a musician, and one of the pages (states) loads a swf file that contains a list of videos the user can select and play. That swf was also made in catalyst. This works.
When I navigate away from the video page to the Bio page (for instance), the video stops playing, which is good. The problem though, is when I return to the video page, the video resumes right where it was when I left the page. This is a bit jarring... I'd really like the video to stop playing for real when the user navigates away, so that when he/she returns to the page, its in the default state... With nothing playing.
Can anyone help? I'm stuck here.
Thanks!
Craig

you need to make your own controls and you need to learn some
basic actionscript: controlling playhead movement along a timeline
is about as basic as it gets. check the movieclip gotoAndPlay(),
gotoAndStop() methods.
