Swf loader

hi
i want to load swf into another flex MDI window using swfloader... here my swf size is 200x200..
when i m load this swf into my mdiWindow i cant get the swf size (200X200).. it occupies the full window..
can anyone give guide to load swf into mdiwindow?

Also, for ordinary components, just use the usual mxml or as
methods to instantiate the component directly. SWFLoader is
primarily designed to load full applications, which you cannot do
with the usual instantiation methods.
Note you can also load SWFs using the mx:Image tag.

Loading and Unloading of swf files in SWF Loader

Hi all,
I have a doubt reg. SWF Loader.
I have created two mxml files A & B.
A. local.mxml
B. SwfSample.mxml
i have two labels and a button in A file and i have set values to those labels and have a method to handle the click event of the button. In B file i have loaded this A file and accessed the labels and methods using SystemManager Component and changed the values of the A file's label and accessed data from A file to B file.
Here comes the problem,
I have two buttons named LoadAgain and Unload
When i click the Unload button, the SWF Loader unloads its content by the method i handled for the Unload button, after that i have clicked on the LoadAgain button to load the same content of A's mxml to the SWF Loader, it loads succesfully,but i was not able to access its Label or Method from the B mxml. Please help me to solve the issue.

creationComplete only fires once when the SWFLoader is created. Therefore you never reset your variables to point to the new sub-app. On a slow network, creationComplete may fire before the sub-app loads. It is best to use the COMPLETE event.

Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS8815BC0A-5D22-4f29-87B9-D9047B5B57E4.html

Hi,
I have Adobe Presenter 7.0.5, in which with recently updating to 7.0.7 version.
When I tried the fix of this "Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation" workaround fix, I passed to have the error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ADOBE_PRESENTER not found on Pool_P75.Resource.UIText
But before this error comes, I see that the loading text is changes from the original 2Adobe Presenter" to the one defined by me on the UIText, as the fix said.
And what's happen is that the scrren with the loading text is not being changed by the learning first slide....
Is there any workaround to correct that error?
Many thanks in advance for any feedback from the adobe support team or from any other colleagues that are using Adobe Presenter (;-)).

Loading external SWF's into an SWF Loader as3 style?

Hi,
I've recently made the switch from as2 to as3 and am still struggling to get my head around one aspect in particular. I've managed to load one external swf into a blank file via the script
import LoadDisplayObject;
var loader:LoadDisplayObject = new LoadDisplayObject("button_01.swf", true);
loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", onComplete, false, 0, true);
addChild(loader);
function onComplete(evt:Event):void {
     trace("loaded complete received");
     loader.scaleX = loader.scaleY = .75;
.....however I'm struggling with the script to make a swfs load into a space when one of my 3 buttons is clicked....
My page currently has three buttons (button_01, button_02 and button_03) and in a local folder three separate swfs with the same names which I wish to load in, when the appropriate button is pressed.
I have managed to get them to load in using a tutorial...however they load over the top of each over...far from ideal. From research on the internet I've found a range of different script...but I just can’t find anywhere I can find script to make this work..hence why I have turned to here.
Any help much appreciated...thanks in advance.

Hi,
Just throught I would let you know that I've manged to get this to work this morning. Changed the script slightly and used a different method of:
var home:MovieClip = this;
function butt1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_01.swf"));
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
function butt2Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_02.swf"));
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
function butt3Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_03.swf"));
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
function loaded(evt: Event):void {
    if(contentClip.numChildren > 0){
        contentClip.removeChildAt(0);
    contentClip.addChild(evt.target.content);
button_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt1Click);
button_02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt2Click);
button_03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt3Click);
seems to work well. Only small question is if I want one page to load automatically upon opening...how do I alter the script to do this??? Thanks

Xcelsius Parent/Child SWF Loader with BICS Connections

We have several Xcelsius Dashboards that use BICS connections to retrieve data from BW queries that we'd like to combine into one Parent/Child tabbed dashboard. I can't seem to find solid information on if this is possible using a SWF Loader component due to the BICS requirement of being published through BW Portal and not InfoView. Does anyone have any ideas (short of combining them into one huge dashboard due to the volume of data)? Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I have been working with SWF loader on the SAP portal using the BICS connection type. It was not supported last time I asked about a year ago. However, it can work if you specify the URL in the SWF loader in this way:
http://sapwebdisp.vestas.net:8103/bicsremotebex?SWF=XXX&TIMESTMP=1318867468000
XXX is the name you publish your child dashboard under. Data can be exchanged between the parent and child dashboard by using the custom component "Data sharer" from Inovista which can be downloaded for free:
http://www.inovista.com
Besides the fact that this setup is unsupported there are some limitations so from my point of view it should only be applied under the following conditions:
1. It is not possible to build eveything into a single dashboard.
2. A solution having several independent dashboards does not make sense.
An alternative might be the setup described in note 1526291. The way I understand it, it binds the dashboards together in a similar way as on a BO server with flash variables.
Regards,
Michael

A swf loader bug?

It looks like I may have found a bug in the swf loader. Before I submit this problem I want to make sure there is not something I'm missing in my code. I wrote this class to load a tutorial when the user first launches a sub application in a project I'm working on. This is a simplified version of the class that exemplifies the problem. The same methods I use to launch the swf from within an mxml work just fine, but when I externalize the process in this class, I can hear the tutorial, but I get no visual. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Here is the tutorial launcher class:
package proj.fuego.utils
     import flash.events.Event;
     import mx.controls.SWFLoader;
     import mx.flash.UIMovieClip;
     public class TutPlayerSimple extends UIMovieClip
          private var gutLoader:SWFLoader;
          public function TutPlayerSimple(fullTutorialPath:String)
             gutLoader = new SWFLoader();
             gutLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addToStage);
             gutLoader.load(fullTutorialPath + ".swf");
             //addChild(gutLoader);
          private function addToStage(evt:Event):void
             addChild(evt.target.content);
This is my mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" minWidth="1024" minHeight="768" applicationComplete="application1_applicationCompleteHandler(event)">
     <mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
             import mx.controls.SWFLoader;
             import mx.events.FlexEvent;
             import proj.fuego.utils.TutPlayerSimple;
             private var fullTutorialPath:String = "ll_tut";
             private var tutPlayer:TutPlayerSimple;
             protected function application1_applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                  var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
                  tutPlayer = new TutPlayerSimple(fullTutorialPath);
                  //context.checkPolicyFile = true;
                  //gutLoader.loaderContext = context;
                  trace("Loading Tut:", fullTutorialPath + ".swf");
                  addChild(tutPlayer);
          ]]>
     </mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

That didn't look right. You'll need to addChild SWFLoader. Not sure what will happen if you just try to add its content. There might also be issues putting Flex components inside a UIMovieCip.

Cross-domain SWF loading doesn't work

I've been trying to get cross-domain SWF loading to work for
a while now, but even though it works from the Flash IDE the loaded
SWF is blank when I upload it to a webserver somewhere. And yes,
both servers have a crossdomain.xml file in their root folder, and
I've also used System.security.allowDomain("*"). I've published
both using the 'using network' option in the publish dialog.
Could someone please help me with this, as I can't seem to
find why it isn't loading. I've also read the entire PDF about
Flash 9 security, but I couldn't find anything about external SWF
loading except for the crossdomain files.

A little more color on this: If there are 2 or more messages in the active mailbox (and others in a different mailbox), the expand/collapse function works for the messages in the active mailbox. In the message column on the right, all the messages in the conversation are shown (both mailboxes). Only those messages in the active box are shown in the list column when the conversation is expanded. I can kind of see how this might be intentional, but it's strange to see lots of messages in the conversation in the right column, but only one or a few corresponding items in the messge list.

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

Problem using swf loader

When i try to run the mxml individually, It run correctly. As soon as i include it in another mxml using SWFLoader , the components stop working properly. It reflects the data sometime while sometime it doesnt. If i press browser refresh button , the components starts working
again.
here is the code snippet for the mxml where i load another swf file using swf loader.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:views="com.views.*" viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html" styleName="AppBack" height="100%" width="100%" initialize="init()" layout="vertical">
<mx:Style source="assets/css/Main.css" />
     <mx:TabNavigator id="tn" height="100%" width="100%" top="-1" right="0" left="0" paddingTop="0" >
     <mx:Canvas label="Home" paddingTop="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingBottom="0">
         <mx:SWFLoader id="loader0" source="AddDeleteAccess.swf" height="100%" width="100%" x="0" y="-15"/>
     </mx:Canvas>
     </mx:TabNavigator>
</mx:Application>
The Home.swf contains a conbo box and a datagrid.
The combo box stops working sometime and after the browser refresh is click it starts working.
if required i can also paste the code of the file which is being loaded.

scale your loader so it fits the way you want. ie, if your loaded swf is 800x600 (with nothing on the back-stage) and you're loading into a 350x375 swf, after loading is complete, use:
loader.width *= 350/800;
loader.height *= 375/600;

Facing problem while unloading the SWF file in SWF Loader

Facing problem with SWF Loader.
Background:
I've 4 SWF files (demo1.swf, demo1_skin.swf, demo2.swf and demo2_skin.swf).
These swf files are created throgh Adobe Captivate.
Playing demo1_skin, will play the demo1.swf with the controls at the button such as "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Forward", "Backward" and Seekbar.
Playing demo2_skin, will play the demo2.swf with the controls at the button such as "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Forward", "Backward" and Seekbar.
Scenario:
1. Clicked on the video1 leaf of the tree. Video1.swf is getting played.
I am able to click on the seek bar to take the video pointer to the desired position. I can drag the seek bar forward and backward also.
2. Clicked on the video2 leaf of the tree. Video2.swf is getting played.
I am not able to click on the seek bar to take the video pointer to the desired position. Also, I am not able to drag the pointer on the seek bar either forward or backward also.
Play, Pause, Stop, Forward, Backward buttons on the skin works properly.
3. If I again, click on the video1 leaf, point 1 observation is found.
4. clicking agian, on video2 leaf, point 2 observation found.
Please suggest.
I tried with Loader also. But, nothing fruitful. Same result, as I am getting from SWF Loader.

SWF LOAD UNLOADING SWFLOADER ISSUES

Hello Everyone,
I wonder if anyone ran into this issue. I have a view stack
with 3 visual screens. One of the screen has SWFLoader placed in
with "id = contentLoader";
I have two buttons on this screen on the top: "LOAD MOVIE 1"
and "LOAD MOVIE 2".
So pretty much, user can load the movie into the SWF LOADER
via this two button navigation. Well, I am able to load the first
movie with "AUTOLOAD". But when I click for the "LOAD MOVIE 2", the
second movie does load in but then the application crashes and
closes itself.
My Questions:
How can I unload the currently loaded SWF Movie before
Loading the next one. I have searched for days for this on google
and nothing has come through.
ContentLoader.unloadandStop() doesn't work and application
still crashes.
ContentLoader.source = ""; doesn't work, app still crashes
ContentLoader.source = null; doesn't work, app still crashes
Any help would highly be appreciated on this, please.

Presenter 9: "Change SWF loading text" not works

I have just bought Adobe Presenter 9 to transfer PPT to e-Learning course file.
When I try to change SWF loading text, I modify the presentation's vconfig.xml file by adding:
   <uitext name=”ADOBE_PRESENTER” value=”Welcome to our training”/>
And I add this sentence for each language.
Eventually, my vconfig.xml file looks like:
   <language id="en">
     <uitext name="DOCWRAP_MSG" value="Save to My Computer"/>
     <uitext name="DOCWRAP_PROMPT" value="Click to Download"/>
     <uitext name="ADOBE_PRESENTER" value="Changed text"/>
     </language>
However, it still keeps appears "Adobe Presenter" when starting the course file.
What's wrong with my operation? Any ideas?

If placing it in the published files (vconfig.xml), it appears it should be placed after the  comment, aprox line 62.
My viewer.xml looked like:
<uifont name="FONT_QUIZPOD_QUIZ_PASSSCORE_VALUE" value="Verdana,9,true,false,true"/>

<uitext name="ADOBE_PRESENTER" value="This Presentation Has Been Brought to You by the Letter Q"/>

<uitext name="UNNAMEDSLIDETITLE" value="Slide %n"/>
After making that change, I see that text when playing back the presentation.

Fly transition + swf loading

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Loader class to load an external .swf that contains a Fly transition. However, when I run the parent .swf (with the Loader code), I get Error #1009 (“Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.”).
The reason I find this peculiar is because the transition runs fine when the external child .swf is run on its own. And I do not have this problem with any other transition–Blinds, Fade, Iris, Photo, PixelDissolve, Rotate, Squeeze, Wipe and Zoom all work fine. It's just Fly that's giving me trouble (and Fly is the one that my colleague has chosen to use for our project).
After finding the problem in our project, I recreated it from scratch, in both Flash Player 9 and 10. Has anyone else encountered this problem before? Is there something specific about the Fly event?
Here's the code that's in the parent:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("child.swf");
loader.load(req);
function loaded(evt:Event) {
addChild(MovieClip(loader.content));
And here's the code in the child:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
TransitionManager.start(myMovieClip, {type:Rotate, direction:Transition.IN, duration:3, easing:Strong.easeInOut, ccw:false, degrees:720});
TransitionManager.start(myMovieClip, {type:Fly, direction:Transition.IN, duration:3, easing:Elastic.easeOut, startPoint:9});
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Jon
