When swf file ends, cut to main page

When swf file without navigation,that has been loaded into
the main timeline, finishes, I want to quickly and automatically
crossfade back to main home page with its navigation. (action
script 2 CS3.) Thank you.

Try including source files instead of SWC's where possible
(the Framework, Cairngorm, etc.) - the compiler will only include
what is needed. Also consider using modules if there are parts of
the application that may be logically broken out.

How to disable F1 to F12 keys in Web Browser when SWF file is in focus

Hi all,
Im running / loading a swf file in IE. I want to disable the
function keys ( F1- F12 keys) in IE as I have defined special
functions for these keys in my swf / flash file.Im using a
javascript code to do this and the javascript code is working
correctly.But the problem starts when the swf file is in focus,
when swf file is in focus and if I press the F3 key the search of
IE opens, but I have defined a special function in my swf file for
this key, here the IE is overriding and it's taking the precedence
in the event handling this is what I want to disable.So that I can
catch the event in SWF file or get the Key code and run the my
function defined for the key.
Thanks.

When testing my applets on a Linux Web site Im finding that I have to totally exit the browser, then open up a new browser session to see the updates on my applets. Yes. Applets can be horrible for caching. I am surprised that exiting and restarting the browser works. I usually clear the cache in the Java Console.
..The refresh button on the browser wont show the new version of the jar file program. I find this consistent with Firefox, MS Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome.
Is there some type of browser option that will allow the next jar version to be run without having to exit out of the browser to see it?
No, but if the Java Console is open, it is pretty easy to force a refresh of the classes.
As an aside, for a more general solution for your end users, look to launch the app. using [Java Web Start|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp] . Updates are reliable and automatic.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this.No worries (in advance).

InDesign CS4 crashes with files ending with a single page

I work in the IT team of a French press group. Our users (OS 10.6.6, InDesign CS4 [6.0.6]) work on facing pages documents, mostly set up with one spread; some files end with a single page. Most of our users complain about the fact that they always have to add a blank page (right to the single page) to avoid crashing. They never crash when they work on files containing only spreads.
Has anybody encountered the same issue?

Hi jmlevy,
Working as a consultant for graphic design companies, I did not hear of this problem. But, it is an interesting one. Can you send over one of the files crashing (+images / fonts used)? Then I can see if I can reproduce the crash.

Streaming audio file over the network w JMF. How to know when the file end

Hi
I am streaming audio file over the network using JMF. I want to be able to know when a file end so I can close the streaming session.
Can some one please help
Thanks

If you put a ControllerListener on the Processor that's associated with generating the RTP stream, it'll generate an "EndOfMedia" event when the end of the file is reached.

In above situation communication is not establised when a funtion which is retruning boolean is called from flash using
ExternalInterfcae.call.The return value of this function is getting as false inside flash.But the value is true in javascript.
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
   return window[movieName];
} else {
   return document[movieName];
window["external"] is returning as 'undefined'.
Please give a solution to solve this.

Note that you have different file names for the object (images/banner.swf) and the embed (images/banner1.swf)
You also placed the embed in the middle of a param tag and nested all param tags.
Because you didn't include a MIME type and the object doesn't have a classid for an ActiveX control for IE, I'm not sure what Firefox will be using.<br />
The object doesn't have a data attribute to specify the file.<br />
A separate embed is only needed when you specify a classid in the object.
<pre><nowiki><div class="bannercontainer">
<object width="940" height="445" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/banner.swf" >

Remove / unload external swf file(s) from the main flash file and load a new swf file and garbage collection from memory.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

Andrei1,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
     loader.unload();
     loader2.unload();
     loader3.unload();
I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
     function killLoad():void{
     try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
     loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly? Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
---- Here is my updated code ----
// variable for external loaders
var loader:Loader;
var loader1:Loader;
var loader2:Loader;
var loader3:Loader;
// makes borders resize with browser size
function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {

// resizes about page to center
     loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
     loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;
//adds gallery.swf to stage at begining of moviie
     Down();

How can I get a preloader to launch a main (external) swf file, and have the main file remove the preloader once it's fully loaded?

Using Flash MX, ActionScript 2:
I’ve been struggling for several weeks, trying to get a preloader to work on a large (~80 MB) photo portfolio file (using the method where the preloader is on frame 1 of the file, and when loading is completed, it jumps to the content). I’ve done countless tutorials, and none seem to work on my presentation. I even tried downloading a trial version of CS4 so I could export every one of the file’s library movie clips and images so that they load on Frame 2 (a feature MX doesn’t have). It takes about 20 seconds for the .exe to load from a CD, and no matter which preloader construction I use, it always seems to appear in the last few seconds before the movie loads completely. During the initial wait time, there’s no indication that anything is happening: no hourglass on the mouse, and not even a blank screen. This is only true for the first time that the file is loaded from the CD; on subsequent loads, the file must already be in RAM, because it loads within a few seconds.
I decided that I’m going to try and make the file which the user clicks on (one named Windows_Portfolio.exe or another called Mac_Portfolio.hqx) the preloader so that it would be tiny, and would load instantly. I want that file to launch the external huge portfolio file (renamed files.swf), keep track of its loading progress, and cycle through a slideshow (10 thumbnail images that transition into each other over 100 frames) proportionally, based upon the percentage of files.swf that had been loaded.
I assume that there should be a loadMovie() or a loadMovieNum() command on the preloader’s timeline to launch files.swf, and that the initial code of files.swf should have some sort of this._parent._visible=false or other way of deleting the preloader on level0. Can anyone explain the steps to me, or direct me to a good Flash MX tutorial that explains how to launch another external swf from a preloader .exe, keep track of its load progress, and delete the preloader .exe once the external swf had been loaded?
Also, I’ve read that, using this construction on a CD, every file has to be in the same place, and that I can’t nest files.swf in a folder named “files,” and reference it with files/files.swf. Is this true?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

If you know JavaScript (ECMA Script) then you might be able to get it done applying a for loop and a random function
to the for loop if you know how to get a page-loaded request into JavaScript.
But an easier solution, if you know ActionScript 3.0, and if your SWF's don't need to be recoded and can load into a "container" SWF would be to create a master FLA file that loads your SWF's in a random fashion using Math.random() as a multiplier, though you won't see much variation if you only have 2-3 SWF's to load--if you had more than that then you would begin to benefit from the random function's capabilities. In ActionScript 3.0 use the load() method along with addChild() to load the SWF and add it to the stage. You will be able to search for specifics on how to code the FLA properly by using Flash's Adobe Help tool and also using an internet search.
-markerline
P.S. Once you have the master FLA coded you can Publish it to an SWF and an HTML and if the container/master SWF needs to be in a page with other content you can simply copy and paste the object and embed tags for the container SWF from the published HTML into any place on your master HTML that you need it to reside. You can then use CSS to control placement of the SWF object if it is in a div tag.

Playing SWF files each time a web page is used.

Hi Gang,
Currently using flash catalyst to create a website for work (seriously not a programmer but love creating visual art).
I have a SWF file that I want to run EVERYTIME a page is viewed, (its actually part of the page) but currently the file will run once. If you go back to the page it doesn’t run a second time. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance for your help.
ChanceDogUSA

Hello Tanya,
And thanks for the reply. I decided to make the video run continuously on the page which means when the page is viewed a second time, its still running giving the desired effect. Not the way I initially wanted it to look but it actually works in previews nicely.
Thanks again for ther input

Calling method from SWF file wtih javascript, when swf file is not loaded in any browser

Hi There,
I have a question regarding flex and javascript integration:
1. We have created certain components and bundle them in swf. these swf file uses webservice to connect to backend code written in java.
2. We have deployed swf file and backend on the same tomcat server.
3. Backend server send some datapoint to UI and plot graph and displyaed to user.
4. Now if user generate graph from datapoint and want to export it, we are tranferring image of that graph from UI to backend. No issues in this process.
5. Now the question is. let say user has not open any swf file in browser and backend scheduling job want to generate the graph. How we will connect to swf file.
6. Is ther any way we can connect or call method of swf from java/jsp/html/javascript code in this scenario without loading swf file in browser??
Please help me!!!
Thanks
Sonu Kumar

Both test sites work just fine for me.
The "Update plugin" message is exactly what would be displayed if no .swfobject file at all was found... so it may not be the "version11" thing but rather, perhaps something else is messed up with the .swfobject file.
File can be found in both folders:
http://www.pureimaginationcakes.com/test/Scripts/swfobject_modified.js
http://www.pureimaginationcakes.com/Scripts/swfobject_modified.js
and file does download when downloading the html page (just check the cache).... but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working.... Hummmmm????

Footer div not aligning in Dreamweaver when swf file added...

Hi, here's a good one!
I have a template that has a div (#footer) as an uneditable area. When I add an swf file to a div above it (#flash), the #footer div displaces in Dreamweaver, but looks OK in any browsers that I preview it in.
Here's a link.... It's the DESIGN page that's the issue and I'm guessing that any other pages based on this template may generate the same problem.
http://www.davidcoshdesign.com/nea
Any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation!

Add clear: both; to the ccs selector below (as shown)
#footer {
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 9px;
    color: #FFF;
    height: 45px;
    width: 950px;

Including external swf file with preloader in main swf file

I'm creating a flash 3d website for a company. The idea is
that there is one overall swf file - this holds the navigation and
design. Once the user clicks on a button, it goes to frame 10, I
have included the following script to load a swf file
loadMovie("deepbartesting.swf", maincontent);
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(movieClipName._currentframe==5){
movieClipName.stop();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
my problem is that this file is around 3mb. I created a
preloader with it, with the code
onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
percen101 = ""+percent+"%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
the preloader works, but instead of going to frame 2 of that
swf file, it goes to frame 2 of the overall swf that holds the
navigation. Does anyone know how to get around this so that it goes
to frame 2 in the same swf file as the preloader?
Thanks for your help

instead of _root, use this._parent (if your preloader is on
its main timeline).

How can I have a Flash SWF file to load a HTML page?

I'm looking for a way to have Flash (CS5) to load and display a very simple HTML web page. Basically, the SWF file would be a standalone document sent by e-mail (or people would post on their web pages), and this SWF would display the content of another web page (consisting mostly in a live video on a black background)
How can I have Flash CS5 to do that??
Thank you!

Yeah maybe I wasn't clear enough... Here's the big picture.
I run a live TV station, broadcasting 24/7 on the web via a Flash application (a projector basically). The video feed is streaming on my site, as well as on numerous web sites across the net. A Flash projector is also available as a standalone application, people download and use it to watch the movies without opening a web page.
I am currently changing the broadcast method, from Flash stream to HTTP stream. But since my TV is already posted and linked in many places, I want to change the Flash object on my server with a new one, that has a HTTP stream instead of the Flash stream. It seems that HTTP stream cannot be embedded in a SWF, but it can be displayed on a HTML web page. The solution I came up with is to have a HTML page to load in the Flash player. All I would need to do is to have that HTML page to display the HTTP stream.
So from there, most of my audience would not need to change anything to watch my streaming TV, while those who downloaded the old Flash projector would need to download a new one.
