Flash :: Flash Movies Inside Emails? How?

Flash Movies In Emails
I want to send animated Christmas cards made in Flash and using Email to distrube them. But how do I go about including a Flash movie in an Email?

I have read the threads about creating a Flash signature but this is not what I'm after. It it simply a case of attaching the HTML web page, produced by Flash, to the Email, ready for the recipient to click on? Do you have to attach the .swf file as well. I don't want to put the .swf on a server (as is advised for signatures), but I want it to stand alone in an Email.

So how's it done? Can it be done?

Thanks very much,

Colin.

Flash Movies In Emails
Are there email clients (ie. Yahoo) that block flash movies embedded in html messages? If so is there anything a developer can do to work around that?

Hi: I have a client who wants to use a Flash movie as an e-direct mail piece. I know you can attach Flash files and email them, but can you embed INSIDE an email, and if so, how? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks! Craig

Loading Movies Inside Movie That Are Inside Other Movies
I have built a website in flash.
I have a main interface with navigation. On press of a button (topic) it loads a movie into a certain area.

//area on timeline to stop any probs or overlapping
on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("1");
}
// get the clip
on (release) {
loadMovie ("mainmovies/products.swf", "_root.mainmovieframe");
}

this works fine and is the simplist and most effective way (i think)

NOW... what happens if I have buttons inside the products movie that inturn call movies inside the sub movie..

It will now work, just crashes flash player. I am using the same command as in the interface but with different clip/instance name...

Please tell me how to make movies work. I cannot make layers and stuff work for some reason.

Using Other Swf Movies Inside Of Flash Movie
I am creating a flash resume. I have done some Flash movies which i want to use in the resume. How do i import the other flash movies in? So far, I've saved the other movies as .mov, and imported like that, it seemed to work fine, until i put the .mov into movie clips. Are there any other formats to use? I'm not experienced with LoadMovie Commands-

thank you

Links Inside Flash Movies
I am attempting to make my very first all-flash web page, and so far I have had much success (after learning a couple of tough lessons through trial and error). I wanted to do an effect where when someone clicks on a link, the current layer of text (I have all the content that is not the same on every single page in one layer) and sometimes graphics fade out and then fade back in with the text for the next page. I have figured out how to do this by converting everthing to a single graphic symbol, then turning the alpha to 0%, using a motion tween to fade, then putting in another frame with the next page as a 0% alpha symbol, and fading back in the same way. Overall, I have made each fade in-out animation take up 20 frames, and used the goto actionscript command to make the buttons function. The one problem I have encountered is that with a simple, 5-page web site, I have to construct 20 20-frame animations (one for each possible pair of pages), which is very time consuming, not to mention annoying and incredibly boring. Is there a way to get around that, or am I going to have to put up with the frustration of having to manually convert everything to symbols, turn the alpha down, and insert tons of keyframes for both the different buttons for each page, and different fade effects, and then have to try to remember which frame number is which fade effect? Just some background info- I know a ton about flash, I am good at learning myself and figuring out solutions to problems on my own (though i don't always find the most efficient solution). I have been designing web sites (though none all-flash as of yet) for, well, I don't know- a long time. I also do a ton of gaming under many different names such as Xenocrates (the original- that name has been stolen so many times, but I was the original), Xenojhel, Xenorge, Aranaquen, and several others I'd prefer to keep to myself for the time being. If anyone has any ideas please reply.

Including HTML/PHP Inside Flash Movies?
I have a 800x600 site that I have made completely in flash MX.

The problem I'm having is that I don't wish to have to add content in flash EVERY time I wish to update.

I was taught by a friend the basics of php query strings, and I was wondering this.

Can I add php strings INSIDE my flash movie, by adding to say, a movie clip, or a component, etc..?

Any ways to do this would be great, Thanks.

Btw - I have thought about laying it all out in an html table, but my problem is that I want to run the html/php scripts INSIDE the movie.

Thanks for your help.

Loading Movies Inside Other Movies In An Ext Movie Holder?
Here's one for you:

I've got my main movie that has a movie holder on it (entitled movieholder.) The buttons on the left control what goes in the movie holder. In one of the movies there is a list of songs that are actually buttons. These buttons call up another movie(with MP3s). How do I get the MP3 movies to go into "movieholder" when they are being called by a button inside 'movieholder'

I'm using MX

Hope that made a slight bit of sense!

Thanks for any help,

Randomly Load Different Movies INSIDE A Movie? Flash 4 Or 5
Is it possible to randomly load/display movies inside a .swf? For example, I'll use a simple java ticker effect with say 10 sentences.

Can you randomly have let's say #3 scroll, then fade out (as an independent movie), then when it's done, have another random sentence, let's say #7 scroll, then fade out. And it just keeps randomly looping through those 10 sentences?

I've looked around for a tutorial, but can't find anything.

Ummm... Loading Movies Inside Movies.... Help?
I posted a question about this a month or so ago, but now (I've had to work out problems on other sites in the meantime) I'm totally ready to figure this out!

I have a VERY large Flash Web site. So, it was suggested that I chop up the site into a few smaller movies. From there, I would set up a main page with a ["target"?] movie clip nested in it. Then, when a button has been pushed, the corresponding swf loads inside the movie clip. I think I can handle that... (although a nice tutorial would be great!)

The problem I'm having is... These swf's can be 'called' from each other, meaning the same buttons will be in each movie. However, the buttons will trigger different frames in each movie, depending on which movie you're already in. I'm betting this is confusing...

EXAMPLE: Every page has 4 buttons, "Who We Are", "Success Stories", "Portfolio", and "Contact". From the Home page you can push any of these buttons and it will go to the first frame of the corresponding movie and a quick, little animation displays as it takes you into the page. That's great. The problem is that, if you were in the "Who We Are" page and clicked "Contact" it should NOT go to Frame 1 of that movie... It should go to Frame 30, because there is a specific animation that connects "Who We Are" to "Contact" that is not the same as the connection animaton between "Home" to "Who We Are". So how do I get the code to be more specific?

HELP!

Frustrated With Loading Movies Inside Movies.
Ok here's my sight:
http://www.fantim.org/811/index2.html
This is my second attempt at making an all flash site. I got two questions.
1. Lets say I have three movies. Movie1.swf Movie2.swf and Movie3.swf
Movie1.swf has Movie2.swf loaded inside of it. Is there anyway to make Movie2.swf load Movie3.swf inside Movie1.swf ? Does that make sence?
2. Is there anyway to load only certian parts of a movie into another movie? For example:
I have this file http://www.fantim.org/fantimshow/movies/movies.swf (Don't mind the chopiness of it) As you can see it has excess stuff on the sides. Is there anyway to load this within another movie without showing this excess stuff?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Loading Movies Inside Of Movies
Hey Guru's,

I am trying to figure out something with flash. I am working on making my site not so big by creating multiple movies of each page therefore making the movie smaller and loading in sections instead of loading the whole thing at once. I was wondering if you knew how to do this? Do I need to create a movie that lives on level0 and then load each movie inside of that when they click one of the topics on the page? How do I go about making that load in and then once they click to a differnt topic it loads another .swf? Can i make it so that the top bar stays or anything of that nature? I am just confused on how levels work and how to get it to work for me. Any advice or references I could possibly get would be appreciated!

Using Flash In Emails
I tried doing a search on the boards for this but the engine kept timing out and producing errors....

I have a client that wants to do a email campaign specifically targeted to a group of people whop all use Outlook for email purposes. They want to include Flash in the emails to give more flair.

I know this can be done using the stationary in Outlook by creating an HTML file and calling up the stationary. However, because these marketing pieces will be using Flash and text elements, it would be preferable to create them without using stationary.

My question is if there is anything out there that will help in creating a Flash-based email or if there any tutorials to help along. The method of delivery has not been determined at this point. Would using a "newsletter"-type program with HTML capabilities be more useful in this case?

Thanks for any help.

Flash In Emails
I am putting together an email for a greeting card using flash. I usually put the swf on my server with a link and then they click and see the card... Is there anyway the flash automatically can play once the email is opened eliminating the need to click??? Usually I put it together in word, copy and paste it and it doesn't work... Or is this impossible and you can only link? If possible, how do you do this?

Flash In Emails
Has anyone used Flash in html base emails. I'm getting ready to design a confirmation email for a business and wanted to include a document converted into Flashpaper (still an .swf file). They want their clients to be able to read and print the document but not download it.

Also, what's your oppinion of using html vs. text for confirmation emails, such as when one fills out a form for information and you set up an automatic confirmation email to be sent after they submit the form. I've never seen an html confirmation email when I've filled out forms so I wondered if there was a reason.

Thanks in advance.

Flash Based Emails, How-to?
I tried to search before posting, but was unsuccessful:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /www2/flashkit/php/prepend.php on line 46

Warning: open(/d02/sess_14420fe9c9c1d3419d3c974fef15a484, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

So does anyone know how to get Flash based emails to display in Outlook and Outlook Express with their default security permissions?

I built a Flash movie, and am sending it in an HTML email using a simple PHP script. The email arrives fine, the text portion is immedietly viewable, but it won't display the Flash portion unless I lower the email client's default security settings. How do you get around the default security settings?

I get HTML emails all the time, many of them Flash based, so I know this is possible. I just don't know what they are doing to theirs that I am not doing to mine.

Thanks in advance.

Flash In HTML Emails
hi, i'm new to the forums, sorry i suck =o

here's my question:

My company wants to email Flash advertisements to our clients. Obviously, we want them to just open the email, from whatever email app they are in (outlook, hotmail, yahoo, etc) and have the movie start playing automatically. I've done a lot of research into doing this by searching this forum as well as others but i still can't get a definitive fix on whether or not it's possible.

So can it be done? and if it can't, whats the next best thing we can attempt to do to get that flash movie playing.

Thanks in advance

Flash Forms, PHP And Emails...
I'm baffled by this and very, very frustrated...

I have a form in Flash that should use a php file to send to an email. Simple set up right?

The text input fields all have variables named

Here's the scripting in Flash for the "submit" button:

on (release) {

if (!name.length) {
info = "Please enter your name.";
}

else if (!Email.length || Email.indexOf("@") == -1 || Email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
info = "Please enter a valid e-mail address.";
}

else if (!message.length) {
info = "Please enter your message in the Comments box.";
}

else {
loadVariablesNum ("https://www.website.com/cgi/MailForm.php", "0", "Post");
gotoAndPlay(520);
}
}

That routine make sure that certain fields are required and filled. Now for the actual PHP file:

#!/usr/bin/php4
<?php
$ToName = "Website Name"

$toemail = = "email@website.com";
$name = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']);
$email = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['email']);
$address = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['address']);
$city = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['city']);
$state = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['state']);
$zip = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['zip']);
$phone = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['phone']);
$message = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['message']);

$subject = "Contact from Website";

$emailbody = "Name: $name
Address: $address
City: $city
State: $state
Zip: $zip
Phone: $phone
Senders Email: $Email

Message Sent:
$message
";

$headers = "From: " . $email . "
" . "Return-Path: " . $email . "
" . "Reply-To: " . $email . "
";

mail($toemail,$subject,$emailbody,$headers);
?>

Anybody out there figure out why this doesn't work?

Movies Inside Movies, Inside Movies...
Hello, I have adequate flash skills but my actionscript isn't so hot.
I'm using a script I found to load movies in and out of a movie with transitions between.

Here's an example of the script:

Quote:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "movie01";
container.loadMovie("movie01.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "movie01") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "movie01";
container.play();
}
}
}

My main movie has links at the top. This is the 1st Movie.
When a link at the top is clicked it's sub links load from an external movie at the bottom of the page. This is the 2nd movie, loaded inside the 1st.
I then want the sub links to load (an external movie) in the middle when a sub link is clicked. This will be the 3rd movie, loaded from the 2nd movie.

So far using that same script if I open up the first movie, click a link it loads fine, but when I go to click a sub link nothing loads.
However if I open up the 2nd movie, the 3rd movie will load fine.
I suspect it might have something to do with the "root" part?
I tried using "level1" instead but the result was the same.

There is probably a simple solution to this, but this is my first time trying to build a site which uses transitions between movies and I'm stuck.

I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.
