Using Director projector inside Flash

I have a Director projector from a project I did a few years
ago but no longer have the .dir file. I want to be able to display
it on my website. Flash won't let me import the .exe directly. Is
there any way I can launch the .exe using ActionScript, or maybe
import the projector into a new Director file and publish it as a
shockwave file? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No, you can't import any sort of Director content into Flash.
Come to that,
with very good reason, you can't 'launch' an EXE from a
browser at all. In
Flash, create a link to the file, which will then allow users
to download
and run it.

No, you can't do that either I'm afraid. I don;t know of
anything that will
decompile Director projectors, and you can't import
executables into
Director.

SSL access from SWF in Director projector

Hi all,
Hoping one of you clever people has the answer...
I am using a SWF inside a director projector.
I have successfully been using flashes XML object with
sendAndLoad to communicate with a PHP script on our web server over
HTTP.
The problem is if I do exactly the same just with the PHP
hosted at a HTTPS address, the flash onLoad fails, no data is
received with a httpStatus code of 0.
I have spent sometime googling the issue and believe it may
have something to do with flashes security.allowInsecureDomain,
allowDomain, or loadPolicyFile methods, but cannot work out how
these might be used from an SWF running in director.
Any help (examples) greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
- Ben

I'm pretty sure a Director projector can't communicate over
https.
Shockwave can, since it "piggybacks" on the browser's
ability. Hence the
existence of SecureNet xtra from INM:
<
http://www.inm.com/products/snx/>.
However, I think you'll have to
route your data sending and receiving through Director rather
than use
the built-in Flash method.
Alternatively, it might work from an externally linked swf
instead of
one fully imported, so you might try this.

Integrate Director Movie into Flash CS5

Hi,
I have couple of interactive media pieces created in Director MX 2004. I would like to know if the latest Flash CS5 can handle
Director Movies. Kindly advise the best way to create a portfolio (consisting of Dorector and Flash Movies) that can be showcased in a website
as well as in a CD-R.
Also, a tutorial or direction to creating an Adobe Director website whereby the swf movies can be integrated would be useful.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thank you

You cannot place a Director file inside a Flash - you can put Flash into Director, but not the opposite.

Can I import Director movies into Flash?

Hi,
Can Flash handle Director movies? I am making a presentation
of my artworks in Flash environment; I have both Flash and Director
movies. I know that I can import all my swf movies into Director
MX2004 to create a standalone projector and play both swf an ddir
movies. Does it work for the reverse?
Thanks
Uti

No, you can't import or display Director movies in Flash in
any way. Best
you can do is launch the Director executable from the Flash
movie, though
how you do this depends on which version of Flash you are
using.

Preventing .swf re-download using director?

hi, it may sound a newbie question, but here it goes...
i am trying some tests here using director , and one of them
is this script inside a button :
var WEB = "
http://www.interama.net/incorporated/teste.swf";
var ID = preloadNetThing(WEB);
function mouseUp()
if ( netDone(ID) )
var tempMemberRef = _movie.newMember("Flash");
tempMemberRef.importFileInto(WEB);
sprite(2).member = tempMemberRef;
as you can see, the first thing that director will do is try
to preload a .swf located in the link passed inside WEB.
however, something that i would like to do is :
HOW can i prevent director to RE-download the .swf IF the
user, after closing the webpage, open it again...
after all, i believe the .swf will be in the cache of the
system, wont it? so, how could i make director "find out" that he
doesnt need to download again the .swf since it is already in its
cache?
thanks for your time,

Use Director 2004MX to create a tour CD?

We would love to import our .jpg libraries of Montana images
into
Director 2004MX to build interactive CD tours of Montana.
Problem: It is important that we use the original image
file size (2,000kb or greater). From the reading we
have done "on-line"(See link below)
It appears the Director MX projector can only
work with small .jpg files of less than 100kb.
We know art museums use Director MX to build tours of their
galleries.
Can someone point us to a tutorial that will illustrate
how to build a quality tour that incorporates hundreds of
2,000kb images.
Thank you,
Mark and the Crew
at MontanaPictures.Net
"The website for people homesick for Montana"
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/director/articles/multimedia_postcards.html

Hi Mark,
I don't think the size limit of 100KB is true. Try import a
larger one and
see what happens. hen importing, choose 'Link to External
file'. If you're
using lots of images, it's best to keep them external to your
movie rather
than embedding them and making the movie size huge.
What kid of tour do you want to make? It's hard to direct you
to sites that
may have info without knowing the specific type of tour
you're envisioning.

Flex mobile 4.6 app works inside flash builder but not in android emulator

Originally posted on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8663892/flex-mobile-4-6-app-works-inside-flash-builder- but-not-in-android-emulator
I have a basic flex mobile 4.6 app and it works fully fine in the flash builder built-in emulator using an android device profile like aria...
It also launches fine in the android emulator but one particular view shows blank (and this view works fine in flash builder).
Before I get in to many details of the view are there any categorical gotchas that can be causing this?
I can't seem to get the trace statements from the app to show in 'adb logcat'. It seems I need to compile a debug version of the apk but I don't know how to do this. I use the 'Export Release Build' from the Project menu in flash builder and it doesn't seem to have an option for debug=true.
The problematic/blank view basically uses the stagewebview and iotashan's oauth library to call linkedin rest apis... A different (and working) view can make restful web service calls in the emulator fine, so it doesn't seem to be an internet permission.
The source code contained in the problematic/blank view is almost identical to the tutorial found at:http://www.riagora.com/2011/01/air-and-linkedin/
The differences are: a) The root tag is a View b) I use StageWebView instead of HtmlContainer c) I use my own linkedin key and tokens.
I would appreciate it if someone can provide me with some pointers on how to troubleshoot this situation. Perhaps someone can tell me how to debug the app while running in the emulator (I think I need the correct adt command arguments for this which matches the 'Export Release Build' menu but adds the debug param?)
Thanks for your help in advance.
Comment Added:
I suspect that this has to do with connections to https:// api.linkedin.com and https:// www.linkedin.com. The only reason I can think of that the same code is not having issues inside of Flex Builder but indeed having issues in the Android emulator is something to do with certificates. Any ideas?

Thanks er453r,
I have created a project that clearly reproduces the bug. Here are the steps:
1) Create a UrlLoader and point it to https://www.google.com (HTTPS is important because http works but HTTPS does not)
2) Load it
3) Run in Flash Builder 4.6/Air 3.1 and then run in Android emulator. The former works with an http status 200. The latter gives you an ioerror 2032. I am assuming what works in Flash Builder is supposed to work in the Android Emulator and what what works in the emulator is supposed to work in a physical device (plus or minus boundary conditions).
I see a certificate exception in adb logcat but not sure if it's related...
Here is the self contained View code which works with a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication:

How do I get a program to run inside flash

How do I get a program on my harddrive to run inside flash on my computer? I would like to build a Flash front end for my boat pc, but I would need to be able able to open up a program inside a flash.exe?
would a external .ini File work? if so what code would I use internally to execute the .ini
any help would be greatly appreciated Sincerely newwaveboats

Thanks for the tip about Zink, but it is not what I'm after.
On (Release)
FS Command ("exec", "install.exe")
End On
google search just revealed this button code but it was for back in the day "Flash 8" as1 or 2. as3 your not allowed code to be plaaced on buttons.
So I know it is possible, I just need the know how.
EDIT: I looked further into to this, and it is perfect for my needs. my first look was quick and I saw a close to 300 price tag and that it was a compiler, 2nd longer look showed it was free for personal use and has lots of great system features.
Thanks again combustion007 for your help was greatly appreciated, Sorry I did not realize how perfect it was when you first told me about it.

How to use the packager with Flash?

Hi all,
I've installed the packager, but I can't see any difference inside Flash CS5 editor or any new menus like "Export" or "Package"
Does it work from within the editor or does it only compile AS3 files?
Can I turn a Flash project which has an .fla file with some timeline animation, manually created MovieClips etc into a iOS app using the packager?
Is there any tutorial how to do it?
Thanks!

I'm compiling a public list of useful links for exactly these sorts of situations: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/785692
Have you installed the latest updates to Flash CS5? They are the first 2 links under "Downloads and Official Documentation" in the link above. Then you should be able to start a new project in Flash and specify "iPhone OS". From there, try to follow Adobe's official documentation until it doesn't work properly, then come back, search around for others talking about the same issues, or start a new thread that is more specific.
Hope that helps a bit.

Load a director level into flash // is it possible?

Hi,
I am planning a complex system where eventually users will need to do immersion into 3rd dimension and also play lots of flash quizz.
I know director can load flash which makes it obvious choice for development but coding in lingo (a non POO language) maybe a little bit of regression looking the average age of the development team that iam building. So looking forward, i wonder if it's possible to make flash load director levels.
Thank you

Venian,
Director used to be considered flash's big sister: http://www.adobe.com/products/director/
Btw i just found out that you can use javascript within Director making it then perfect choice for my project.

How to test movie using flashplayer11.1 in Flash CS 5.5

sorry about my terrible English
I downloaded the flashplayer 11.1 (playerglobal.swc,flashplayerDebugger.exe and etc ),and created a molehill project seccessfully. when I used Ctrl+Shift+Enter to debug my swf,everything is ok,Flash CS 5.5 opened flashplayer 11.1,but when I used Ctrl+Enter to test swf, a runtime error happen "can`t find flash.display::stage3D", I found that Flash CS5.5 opened an another flashplayer(not flashplayer11.1), maybe is flashplayer 10? I have replaced Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\Players\Release\FlashPlayer.exe and Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\Players\Debug\FlashPlayerDebugger.exe to flashplayer 11.1,why when I used "Ctrl+Enter",Flash CS5.5 opened flashplayer 10? only when I used "Ctrl+Shift+Enter",Flash CS5.5 opened flashplayer11.1?
Ctrl+Enter
a runtime Error
Ctrl+Shift+Enter
ok

Note well, that if you upgrade the playerglobal.swc, FlashPlayer.exe and FlashPlayerDebug.exe For Flash CS6 (and 5 I believe) it does NOT change the player that Flash uses to "test" with (i.e. CTRL+Enter). The debug Player will be updated though (i.e. CTRL+Shift+Enter).
I updated to FP 11.9 but CTRL+Enter still uses 11.4 as is revealed by tracing "Capabilities.version".
- CTRL+Enter         -> 11.4
- CTRL+Shift+Enter   -> 11.9
- double click SWF   -> 11.9
- in Firefox browser -> 11.9
As long as I use the Debug player (i.e. CTRL+Shift+Enter) or choose Publish from the file menu the code is OK both in the stand alone Player when you double click a SWF, and in a browser.
I have heard it said that default Test FlashPlayer is hidden inside authplay.dll.

Load html document inside flash

I have been informed that it is possible to load an html
document inside flash, that you use an HTML tag, but I cannot find
it in the scripts, can anyone show an example and explain how to
make it work or if there is a tutorial for creating this inside of
flash.
Thanks

Dear All
I do not know why they call themselves professionals in flash and html, while they can not help us with a simple webpage inside a flash movie.
No offense
I was trying the whole week to do that by checking if any body post any tip over the internet, but as usual the profs said that you can only make it in test and only text and bla bla bla.....
Let me tell you that I have managed to open a whole webpage in my flash website.
I have this page that is html and have so many codes and things that I do not know, and in my flash website I have a menu which one of its buttons must open that html file, and as every body knows that you will loose the whole work if you poped up another window from your flash website.
So Cheer up I have managed to open my html page in my flash movie website.
You can check it up following this link www.compuhometech.com/html_inside_flash/index.html
If you like to have it please mail me : [email protected]
Thank you

BitmapData only works inside flash 8 IDE

I need to take a snapshot of the currently playing .flv
video:
var snap = new BitmapData(70, 52);
var mat:Matrix = new Matrix();
mat.scale(70/640, 52/480); // scale to thumbnail size
snap.draw(mc, mat);
mc contains the video that is currently playing.
The strange thing is that if I run it inside flash 8 IDE it
works fine. But if I click on the .swf file and open it outside the
IDE I get a blank picture.
