Flash :: Convert WMV To FLV On Webserver?

Vectorize In The Webserver
I need to do something that seems quite complicated - vectorize a jpg or gif image that a user uploads to the webserver to import it into an swf, to later be able to change colours, scale it etc. I know how to make everything work except the importing part. Is there any specialist/third party software for this?
The idea is to be able to upload your company logo, get it vectorized, remove the background, and put it on top of a product to see how it looks, change the colour etc. It's a great application!

Getting Images From A Webserver
Hi All,
i have a project in which i have to make a Page Curl Effect without using any 3d software/
So i need a scripted animation that shows a REAL page curl.

Most complicated part is that i have to use a web server to pick up bunch of images to load in the catalog.
Can any body assist me with that.
It is really urgent to work with Server.

I would be very happy if someone keep me posted on the reponces.

Thanks in advance

Others Cant Use Movie From My Webserver

New Webserver Alters My Swf
This is a strange one. Hopefully just some cache or Flash bug. Anyone recognize anything like this:

Same client computer.
Same browser.
Same html-embed files.
Two webservers.

On my development server (Apache2) I am happy with the results but on my deployment server (Apache1.3) I have found two nasty graphics changes in the swf.

-A dynamically rendered row of textfields (a menu) do not render. (even though dynamic data IS loaded)
-Another big textfield renders the text a bit strangely. Some rows are slightly bolder and antialiased while some are not.

I have had other client setups randomly get the same type of problem.

Installing FMS On Webserver
Hello .. I tried to install FMS2 on a Webserver, but I was a completely failure ;)

Can anyoner tell me, how I can install it, that it works .. on my local server it works !!! Or does it only works on local server ???

FLV's Not Loading From Webserver
I have a series of FLV's that don't load when viewing Flash movie from the webserver.

The FLV's, SWF, and HTML are all in the same directory together...so the pathnames for the FLV is just "fileName.flv"

The strange thing is I've been able to get them to play on my personal webserver.

Do webserver's have to be configured a specific way in order to play FLV's inside a SWF movie?

It doesn't make sense why I can see them on one webserver, but not another.

Need AS/apache Webserver Guru Here
Ok - here's the deal. I recently set up a Linux machine in my house -- one of the purposes was to be able to do local testing prior to launching to the web. My host doesn't allow me ssh access (cheapie) so I figured this would be a good way to see how things hum.

So...on a site I am about to launch, I was surfing the site, while tailing a few logs...including the access_log and the error_log

I noticed something funny on both of them. The site that I am doing is for a woman who has a HUGE resume that she wanted available online. So I broke the thing up into sections that could be loaded individually using the following AS:
code:
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("./text/" + _root.resumespot + ".txt");
// assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
// Now that we know the data is loaded,
// set the text content of the Text Field
// with the instance name "scroller" equal to the
// contents of the variable
resumeBox.html = true;
resumeBox.htmlText = this.resume;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};
stop();

this, basically (should) asks to load ("./text/" + _root.resumespot + ".txt") which would be ./text/myResumeSection.txt

Now...on my logs...I am seeing two requests come through:

x.x.x.x - - [27/Feb/2004:16:36:17 -0500] "GET /jean/myResumeSection.txt HTTP/1.1" 404 333

*and*

x.x.x.x - - [27/Feb/2004:16:36:17 -0500] "GET /jean/text/myResumeSection.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 100

The first one is (obviously) a 404 error b/c the file is not available in that directory. What gives here? Is this a flash bug or is my syntax incorrect?

Sorry for the long post, but it seems like a pretty legitimate question.

Images Don't Load From Webserver
My image gallery works fine offline, but when I post to the webserver images don't load.

This image gallery is called imageweaver, is not mine...nor do I wish to make people think its mine. It can be found at http://www.buggedcom.co.uk

The creator hasn't responded to this specific question, so I thought I'd give my problem a try here.

The images are dynamically loaded from folders in the root directory on the webserver. The heirarchy is something like this

gallery/design/construction photos/images/image001.jpeg

...again, the gallery directory is on the same level as the .swf. Also, the imageweaver utility is in a scene within the main timeline. I've been told this structuring of the movies (movie within a movie) may change the location the utility/flash goes to look for the images. If this is true, what might the possible renaming be? Does flash rename this automatically, or have a default location it expects to find the information?

Please post if I seem unclear.

Much thanks,
Brownie

Webserver Problem(I Guess)
The problem is, when I try to view the html page, which has a flash movie in it, using iis, the flash movie doesn't load, but when I open the file using its path on my hard disk it loads normaly. For example, when I type in c:mysitemypage.html in the address bar of internet explorer, the swf file in the page loads normaly, but when I type in 'http://localhost/mysite/mypage.html', the swf file doesn't load.Any help please......Is it something to do with iis or with flash......

Update SWF File On Webserver
Hello,

I have a nice flash movie on my webpage. It works fine and all but when I want to update my flash movie and add something new, the people who have my "old version" of the flash movie will not see my new one because it has been loaded from their webbrowser cache. How can I prevent this? I still want users to be able to read from their cache because it takes quite long time to load the movie and I dont update very often but when there is a new version I dont want the cache to work. Is this even possible?

Loadvars Php Not Working On Webserver
Hi,

I developed a relatively simple credit card processing form in flash that takes the customer data via method=post and sends it to a php script which validates the card transaction as approved or declined and then sends back a code to the flash card process form. If the card is declined it goes to one page and if it is approved it goes to another page where the customer is given a download link for the product.

The problem I am having is that the form is not going to any of the next page swhen the form is running either in the browser on a web server that I have installed locally or on the webserver that it will reside on. It does however work perfectly in control -> test movie under flash. I know the php script is receiving the data because I changed the sendAndLoad to just send and tested what variables are being received by the php script.

Here is the code for the on(release) portion of the button:

loader.onLoad = function(success) {

if(success)
{

// read your data here, e.g.
_root.transstatus = this.transstatus;
errorcode.text = this.transstatus;
if (_root.transstatus == 1)
{
gotoAndStop(5);
} else {
gotoAndStop(4);
errorcode.text = "There was an error";
} // end if-else
} // end if success

} // end onload

sender.all = convert(_root.cardnumber) + "," + convert(_root.cvcnum) + "," + _root.firstname + "," + _root.street + "," + _root.city + "," + _root.clientstate + "," + convert(_root.zipcode) + "," + _root.expmonth + "," + _root.expyear + "," + _root.lastname + "," + crdsel;
sender.sendAndLoad("http://www.heavensmessage.com/newflashtest/process2.php", loader, "post");

I am at wits end on this I have spent about 12 hours writing and rewriting the code but to no avail

Please help...

Thanks!

Mailform With PHP: Send.php On Other Webserver.
Hi all,

I have a problem with the form: it works fine local, but when i put it online it gives me the "message failed" text after clicking the button.

The problem is that i uploaded the .php file to a server, which is different then the one my swf is on. Why? Because my normal server doesn't support php and that other server does support php. (its from a friend).

So for exemple:

My php file i stored at: Code:

http://www.phpserver.com/php/send.php

and my actual swf files are stored at:
Code:

http://www.normalserver.com/contact.swf

-----

I looked it up in the flash help files and there, I read:
Code:

url:String - A string; the URL to which to upload variables. If the SWF file issuing this call is running in a web browser, url must be in the same domain as the SWF file.

Does anyone know how to munipulate this so I can use my contact form ???
Please... I was so happy that it worked (local), and then the big moment of putting it all online and it doesn't work anymore :(

I've uploaded my .FLA file, you can find it HERE

[F8] Problems Loading FLV And FLV SKIN From Webserver
Hi
This is the order of my online presentation:
Index - (when menu button clicked) - SWF1 - (when sub-menu button clicked) - SWF2.. all these play over each other... this is fine, no problem here.. I've just started by explaining the order of appearence because of this:

I have an flv loading in SWF2.. in the properties of flash I inserted everything ok, the paths on the web-server are correct (I've tested each one individually)..
So I've imported to the stage of the SWF2 a video which is in my webserver and the skin as well... both tested as stated before.. but the problem is that they don't work together..

what is the problem? is it because flash doesn't let me play video when the swf is 'over' 2 other swfs? because the swf alone plays just fine.. it just doesn't play when called in the SWF1... :s

here is the link for the swf:
FLV SWF WORKING

and if you go to http://www.aqueledesign.com/tekilla/ and click on the girl on the right (the one that says "biografia") and then on the BLUE link you'll see that it is not working, and I'm loading the same swf above... what is the problem here !? it is driving me crazy...

thanks!

[F8] Can An Swf File Know How Its Being Viewed? (local/webserver, Etc)
I'm working on a project where the swf file works with several remote files and some FlashVars. Unfortunately the behavior of the flash file is a bit different on the server vs. locally vs. locally w/browser. Can flash know what environment is viewing the file? It can be confusing to develop when i need to keep track of so many environment specific items, such as no flashvars when using "Test Movie", etc...

FLVPLAYBACK Works Locally But Not On Webserver
Okay this is the problem. I follow the tutorial in macromedia flash 8 and locally the flvplayback (steelallover.swf) displays but when I upload the .flv, the .swf and the steelallover.swf to the website the flvplayback control does not display over the movie. I've been going round in circles with this one for a while ... anyone got a fix for this?

Additional info:
the html calling the movie.swf is in a different folder from where the .flv and the .swf are uploaded.
the .flv and the .swf and the steelallover.swf are in the same folder.

When tested locally all the html, .flv, and .swf are in the same folder.

HTML Text Does Not Show Up When Placed On Webserver
I have a textarea component linked to an html file with action script. It works on my local drive but when I uploaded to my webserver the text is not be brought in???

Here's my AS:
// Create a new style sheet object and set styles for it.
var styles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
styles.setStyle("p", {fontFamily:'Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif',
fontSize:'12px',
color:'#FFFFFF'});
styles.setStyle(".headline",{fontFamily:'Arial,Hel vetica,sans-serif',
fontSize:'16px',
fontWeight:'bold',
color:'#FFFFFF'});

/* Assign the style sheet object to myTextArea component. Set html property to true, set styleSheet property to the style sheet object. */
myTextArea.styleSheet = styles;
myTextArea.html = true;

var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// Define onData handler and load text to be displayed.
myVars.onData = function(myStr:String):Void {
if (myStr != undefined) {
myTextArea.text = myStr;
} else {
trace("Unable to load text file.");
}
};
myVars.load("about.html");

If anyone has an idea for me to try I would be greatful.

Thanks

Package Files Deployment - Webserver
I've have an asp.net app that uses flash for its navigation bar...the flash app uses two class files wrapped in packages that create the functionality of the whole navigation bar.

When I run the swf file alone, the flash app works fine...but when I try it in the webserver it fails. Whats more, the flash app in the web server will work fine if I type the full URL to the swf file....it will not work however as an embeded object...and what I mean by that is that the flash app will show up embedded into the .net app but the additional functionality created by the other two class files fails!!!...

Any ideas? I've never deployed a flash application to the webserver with class files so I may be doing something wrong there...Any help would be greatly apprecidated.

Capturing Flash To An Image On Webserver?
Hi all,

I am developing an application that builds a parts list for a stair balustrading system. One stage involves a visitor building up a visual diagram of a staircase from a heap of global options (timber type, design etc). Once done I would like to capture the diagram to an image format (jpeg or gif) to be included in the final stage of the process where users get their parts lists.

You can see the app (if not entirely finished) here: rb.creativeandbrand.co.uk - from the first screen just use the link for 'traditional post to post' then skip the details page. The global options diagram that I want to capture is the third stage of the process.

If anyone has any good ideas about how I might to about doing this, I'd love to hear them!

Kind regards
Kevin

Saving Jpeg From Flash To Webserver

Problem Loading Vars From Webserver.
Hi
I am loading some variables from an asp page that's on the webserver into a flash projector that's on the client machine. Its done like when the client clicks a button the variables will be loaded in a dynamic text field. But nothing happens when I click on the button. It was working alright when I tested it offline but now its not working. Here's the action script that I've put on the button.

Code:
on (release) {
loadVariables ("http://www.mysite.com/flash.asp", this);
}
Can any one tell me why its not working & how can I make it work??

Check Existance Of A File On Webserver
Hi all,

First I'd like to say hi to everyone, since I'm new to the forum. I hope I can learn a lot here and help people out whenever I can.

My question is the following:

I'm building an app. where a webmaster would be able to upload files to a webserver with a given filename protocol (File names would have to be 0601, 0602, 0603, etc.). The actionscript should detect what the last file in that row of files is. I tried using the getBytesTotal() method, because it returns a value of -1 when a file doesn't exist. The problem is that this can take a while, depending on the connection speed and serverload at the given time.

is there another way to do this? or am I looking in the right direction?

All help and comments are more than welcome.

Best regards,
GB

Help Movie Loads Fine Locally, Not At All On Webserver
I've created a (fairly simple) Flash animation. When I publish to D: and open file://D:index.html in the browser, it shows up perfectly.

When I upload the files to the server and go to http://<server_address>/index.html all I get is a box of whatever color I've set for the <PARAM NAME="bgcolor"> tag. Right-clicking the box brings up a (very abbreviated) Flash menu (two entries -- a greyed-out "Move not loaded..." and an "About Macromedia Flash Player" or something along those lines.)

It appears to be a server problem (I change the <PARAM NAME="movie"> tag to point to a random flash file on someone else's server and it works just fine. I download said Flash file to my server and it doesn't work).

MIME Types are set correctly. (According to Macromedia they shouldn't matter when we're using IE and ActiveX anyway, as it's the classid that tells IE what ActiveX control to use.) I can't think of anything else it might be.

The server is Apache 1.3.23 on RedHat 7.3.

Any ideas?

Published HTML Works Locally, But Not From The Webserver
Hi there all,
Can anyone suggest why my site might work on my local machine but when I upload it to my serverspace and then go to it with IE I just get a white (blank screen) The file is there ok, and IE is getting the code because you can see it with view source, and I also get the 'click to activate this control' or whatever standard Flash message when I hover over it, but no content??
Something to do with Macromedia settings manager maybe? I have looked but can't figure out the answer...any hints would be greatly appreciated..

Writing To TXT Constantly On Webserver.. Good Or Bad Idea?
Hi, I have a question concerning writing and reading a .txt file which is on a webserver. So flash is constantly writing and reading from the file. Is this veryy intensive stuff? or not?

tnx!

A Bug? BitmapData Doesn't Work When Accessed Via Webserver
I'm building a pic viewer component(eclipse+asdt+ mtasc, version 8 of fla)
Since I'm shrinking and enlarging pictures, I wanted them to be smoothed.

Here's that part of code:
target._visible=false
var bitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(target._width,target._height, true);
target._parent._pic_.attachBitmap( bitmap, target._parent._pic_.getNextHighestDepth(),"auto", true);
bitmap.draw(target);

When I preview this in flashout in eclipse-works fine. When I run swf file in standalone player- works fine.When i open (locally) the html page that embeds the swf-runs fine.But when I access same page in same location by means of apache(http://localhost/path/file.htm) the .draw command stops working.I'm getting white rectangles where copied pictures should be.

Am I violating some securityor what?Help, I'm in despair!!!

Server Issues? Plays Locally But Not On Webserver?
I have a strange problem. I am doing some simple flash video embedding using code I have used may times and it wont work on the server we are using for some reason.

Here is the page http://bc.3dinternet.com/intro/Intro.html (I embeded the swf using both javascript and then an <object> tag just to see if either would work).

It is putting the file http://bc.3dinternet.com/intro/Intro.swf into the page which as you can see is there. It just doesn't seem to load the FLA file (which is there http://bc.3dinternet.com/intro/Intro.flv).

has anyone else had this problem?

How To Render Images Without Involving The Webserver Filesystem?
I am new to Flash 8 and AS 2.0, so bare with me ...

Is there any way to display/render ordinary image types (.gif, .jpg, ...) in AS 2.0 without relying on the server's filesystem?

I have my image data stored binary in a database (ms sql server 2005).
The binary image data is then transfered (encoded in base64) over xml from my server side (asp.net 2.0) to my Flash 8 client component (.swf file).

Upon arrival in the client (Flash .swf file) the binary image data is decoded and kept in String variable in Flash 8.
These steps seem to work fine although I would have prefered Flash 8 to expose a "true" Byte datatype instead of using a String datatype.

But how do I go about from here to successfully render the final image in Flash 8?

Thus, what I am trying to do is to use the memory as a "url path" for my image data and not referencing some image file through a "url filesystem path".

Can this be done in Flash 8?

I have looked at the (new) BitmapData API in flash 8 but it seems as even this API relies on some sort of filesystem involvment in the exposed method arguments...

I am creating a website with an "extra" administration gui where the admin account will not have write access on the webserver's filesystem,
hence I am storing the images in a database and trying to render images dynamically "from memory" ...

Does anyone have any tips or ideas how to approach this problem?

Regards,

Carl

Video Control Bar In Flash Displays On HD But Not From Webserver
I am using Flash Pro 8 - putting FLV files in SWF files using Flash Pro 8 and then "publishing" to Html and SWF to a location on my hard drive.

When I display the webpage from my Hard Drive from where ever on my hard drive I initially published to from Flash 8 Pro - everything works fine - videos play and video control bar shows and works.

When I publish this website to web server the video displays and plays but NO Video Controller Bar (at bottom of the video) shows at all.

Symptom: when I make an Html, SWF and FLA file into a folder on my hard drive and display them in the browser the video control bar shows. When I copy those three files into the hard drive website in FrontPage, the video shows but the video control bar does not.

So, I re-made the Html, SWF, and FLA files and put them directly into the FrontPage website (on my hard drive) then everything works fine when I use broswer (IE 6 or Firefox). z

But, when I publish the hard drive website to the remote website hosting company, the video control bar disappears - everything else works fine (video shows OK just no video controller bar.)

My guess is that the SWF file has a non-relative URL reference concerning the video control bar and when the three files (Html, SWF and FLA) are moved to new location then that non-relative address rears its head.

I should NOT publish from Flash 8 Pro directly to remote webserver as it has FrontPage Extensions and does not like to talk to FTP changes to website not coming from FrontPage client.

is my guess right? What to do?????

Upload Image To Webserver And Load Into Movie
Hi All,

I notice that someone asked a similar question this morning, but mine is slightly different.

Would it be possible for a user to upload an image to the webserver, and then have their image (for ex, company logo) loaded into the Flash movie?

Then, would they be able to move this image around using the mouse?

I'm familiar with ActionScript, but it's been a while. Does anyone foresee any problems that I may run into trying to accomplish this? Thanks!

.swf Running Locally - Loading Txt File Variables Off Webserver
Hi Guys,

hoping someone can help with a small problem.

I am trying to load variables stored in a text file which sits on my webserver into the .swf which is running locally.

the whole thing works fine when telling the .swf to pull the variables from an identical local text file, when telling it to pull them from the server i get nothing.

however, when i cntrl+enter within flash to export it works fine - when i minimise flash and run the .swf that has just been created i'm back to getting nothing again.

Have also tried opening the .swf with i.e. but still no joy.

Any ideas??

Hope my description is clear enough!!

Upgraded Webserver To 'SSL' Secure Server, Now Variables Wont Pass?
My company recently upgraded our web server to a 'secured' server with a SSL certificate, and I found that our old AS3 Flash / PHP email form wont pass variables.

Is there a reason it no longer works? Maybe a security issue?

The Age Old Question: Upload Images To MYSQL Or Images To Webserver?
hi guys, im having trouble deciding on the approach to go about.

i want peopel to be able to upload images so should i have them upload it into a db using BLOB or should i have them upload it to the web server?

i've been reading people say that the web server is probably better to use, but i dont know about that using AS.

anyone got a preference or a good approach?

I don't mind doing either one, but i don't know, i read some folks are paranoid about DB corruption.

any advice, let me know.

A way around loading and unloading movies continually is
simply, to put an empty movie clip on the top left corner of your stage, and call the instance "dummy" for example. Then, in your actions, you can make flash load any SWF file into this Movie Clip (Load Movie into location, target /dummy), and send tell target actions to it with the path /dummy.

Next, put an empty keyframe at the beginning of the SWF so you can load with a stop action. This will also allow you to make the loaded SWF disappear. To do this instead of using the unload movie function, simply tell the Movie Clip (/dummy) to Go to frame 1 and Stop. The movie will disappear.

To load another SWF into this location, simply overwrite it... The previous SWF loaded will still be in the browser cache and will appear instantly if you load it again into the location/target /dummy.
