[flexcoders] FlashPaper in SWFLoader
I'm having problems loading a FlashPaper document into a SWFLoader. It loads just fine, but the scaling isn't as I'd like it. Instead of scaling like it does when you load it into a browser window, where the controls stay the same height and just the viewing area scales, the FlashPaper maintains it's default scaling. I think the default size is like 400 x 300, and it just scales that, control bar and all. Is there any way within the SWFLoader to have the FlashPaper display like it does in the browser window? __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] FlashPaper in SWFLoader
If you're using Flex 1.5, use the FlashPaperLoader class from Matt Chotin: http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ChannelID=1Object=FileobjectID=117 If you're using Flex 2, it's a lot trickier. Normally, you resize the FlashPaper.swf by using the FlashPaper API [1], and just calling the setSize( width, height ) method. However, because the FlashPaper.swf lives inside of AVM1 and the Flex 2 loading .swf lives inside of AVM2, you can't just directly talk between them. I've come up with a solution, but it's not exactly trivial. I'll describe it here at a high level, and hopefully get it up on my weblog sometime in the near future when I have some time to package it up. * Create a FlashPaperLoader.swf in Flash that uses a MovieClipLoader to load the FlashPaper document. In this loader.swf, you need to shimmy in methods for communication between AVM1 and AVM2. It's possible to use either LocalConnection or ExternalInterface for this, but essentially, the FlashPaperLoader.swf is responsible for exposing methods to AVM2 that simply proxy the method call and parameters to the loaded FlashPaper.swf document. * Instead of loading the FlashPaper.swf directly, load the FlashPaperLoader.swf proxy and pass it the URL of the real FlashPaper.swf to load. Use the AVM1/AVM2 communication mechanism you created in the previous step to send progress information from the loading movie over to Flex 2, so that you can report load progress effectively to the user. * When the load is complete, call the setSize on the FlashPaperLoader.swf, again, using the AVM1/AVM2 communication mechanism. When you call setSize on FlashPaperLoader, it should proxy that call to the loaded FlashPaper document. * Use the resize event in Flex 2 to make setSize calls, so that resizes the browser or container sets the correct FlashPaper size. When all is said and done, you end up with the desired behavior of loading a FlashPaper document, having it fill the available area, and having the correct scale. Again, it's not exactly trivial to get this working, but I'm hoping to release my FlashPaperLoader component and support files sometime in the near future.

Re: [flexcoders] FlashPaper in SWFLoader
Yeah, I did something similar to that but ran into problems with it loading multiple instances of that flashpaper loader swf where it kinda crapped out, so I was looking for a way to just load in the Flashpaper swfs (cfreport generated) directly.

Re: [flexcoders] FlashPaper in SWFLoader
The solution I used was to just create a unique id when you want to load a FlashPaper.swf, and pass that value to the loader. The AVM1/AVM2 communication channels then use that specific id so that you can load multiple isntances of them without interfering with each other. As and aside, we're using cfreport to load our FlashPaper.swfs into Flex 2 as well. My fingers are crossed that theres an upgrade coming down the line to ColdFusion that would make FlashPaper SWF9 compatible so we can talk directly with the loaded reports. One can hope.. but until then, the AVM1/AVM2 solution isn't bad once you get it in place. Like I said, I'll try to get it packaged up on my weblog soon so you can see how to do it. -d Nick Collins wrote: Yeah, I did something similar to that but ran into problems with it loading multiple instances of that flashpaper loader swf where it kinda crapped out, so I was looking for a way to just load in the Flashpaper swfs (cfreport generated) directly. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
