I am looking for a way to get at some local SWFs from a remote HTML page. (Basically, I want to be able to offer high-quality installable assets on CD that can be used instead of the remote assets in case the user has a slow internet connection.) After a few failed attempts, I came across this article:
http://www.actionscript.com/flashweek/00000361.html It sounds as though what it describes is exactly what I'm after, but since it dates back to 2002 and I can find no other references to the technique, I doubt it works anymore and can't figure out a way to duplicate it. So far I've attempted the following: 1. embedding a flash movie with a "file:///" source 2. using javascript to jump to a locally HTML file with the local flash embedded within it 3. using an IFRAME loading the local content 4. having a remote SWF try to load a local SWF (with all combinations of 'allow local'/'allow remote') All have failed in at least IE or Firefox. Does anyone know another option that doesn't seem incredibly fragile? -mark -- John Mark Hawley The Nilbog Group 773.968.4980 (cell) _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
