[Flashcoders] ads inside a SWF
I'd like to include ads (Google ads) inside of a SWF.. with hopes of having the SWF end up on other sites. But is this u legal with Google?

RE: [Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed
Hi Johnny, So we've ruled out the server (other Flash movies work fine), and we've ruled out the embed/object tags. We've ruled out the browser too, since it fails on both IE and Firefox. Just out of curiosity, if you right-click the area of the swf as the browser tries to load it, does it say "Movie Not Loaded"? If so, this would lead me to again suspect the mime types or the object/embed tags, but a corrupted swf could cause this as well. Anyway, the next thing I'd do is start removing components or blocks of ActionScript and see what will allow the movie to go ahead and load. When you take something out and suddenly the movie will play, you've found your culprit! Have you tried playing the swf in the standalone player? Good luck!! -tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johnny Zen Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2006 8:16 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed Hi Tom Thanks for the help.

RE: [Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed
You should probably start by verifying that there is nothing wrong with your server. Do other Flash movies on your website work? Do they fail in a particular browser, or all browsers? Check your object/embed HTML. Are you using the HTML created by Flash when you publish your movie? Also, try a simple movie (1 frame, no actionscript) and verify that it loads as expected. Does the movie that is failing try to connect to any data services? There are a lot of reasons this could be happening. A little trial and error should give you some clues pretty quickly. My bet (without knowing ANYTHING about your unique situation) is that it has nothing to do with the Flash player - more likely a malformed embed/object statement, or a MIME setting on the web server. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johnny Zen Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2006 7:05 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed Hi all I've just tried a flash movie published on my website which has been working fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] load two flv's and merge them into one flv?
does anyone know if you can load two flv's then put them together somehow. I need to be able to play the two flv's as one and be able to scrub the whole thing too.. Anyone have any ideas? Well, IMO: you don't have to "merge" them - you can load them as two different files and have a separate control that seeks the correct position on the correct movie file, hiding the other file. It's not as straightforward as simply putting a component on the stage I suppose, you should build or customize the thing, but there's no technical limitation to it per se. I've just had to do something similar for a recent project - 5 different video files playing as if they were only one thing - and it works pretty seamlessly, scrubbing and all. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com 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

Re: [Flashcoders] Conversion to Flash 8 renders MP3 player useless
Thanks, Duncan. Will do. I had seen, but forgot about that property. It just
seems that player 8 loads much quicker.

Hi Jonathan,
I just tested it in player 7.0.19.0 and it seemed to work for me, i
originally tested it with 8.5.0.212. There is an initial buffering but
once
it starts to play it seems to hold although i was getting pretty low
transfer rates from 8 - 18 kb. Again not sure if it would help but you
can
set the buffer time for sounds via '_soundbuftime' globally or through a

Re: [Flashcoders] Convert Flash 7 swf to Flash 8
Hi, I remember when Flash 8 player was released there was a tool that would change a swf to make it act like a Flash 8 one, but I can't find that now. I just have a little app that loas images, and want to convert it to F8 so it can load pngs. I've tried playing with mtasc but it's a pretty steep learning curve, so i'm not sure if it can do it. Is there anything else? You just have to change the fourth byte on the file from ascii 07 to ascii 08. You can do that with any hex editor. Someone also made an automatic program to that kind of conversion (Mario Klingemann if I remember correctly). That's probably what you've mentioned. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com 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
