Re: [flexcoders] Embedding a slideshow swf that calls image files

Thanks Philippe,

I tried this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" backgroundColor="#000000" width="100%" height="100%" marginBottom="1" marginLeft="1" marginRight="1" marginTop="1" >
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">
  <mx:ViewStack x="1" y="1"  id="issue1" width="100%" height="100%" vScrollPolicy="off">
     <mx:Canvas id="cover" label="Slideshow" width="100%" height="100%" vScrollPolicy="off" >
      <mx:Loader source="slideshow.swf" width="100%" height="100%" id="slideshow" load="event.target.init({xmlFile:'cover.xml', progressColor:0xCCCCCC})"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
  </mx:ViewStack>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>

and it builds ok, but the slideshow still doesn't run...

any thoughts Abdul?

I don't think you can pass variables in URL too, but you could trigger a function that's in function with the Loader onLoad event

Hi,

I think in Macromedia Flash Player 8, you can't pass vars to a SWF file
so something like this might break.

Please test the application in both players before deploying.

Don't know if this will work in your special case but you could try to
load the slideshow.swf into your Flex application by using the Loader
component and pass your parameters in the query string. E.g.

  <mx:Loader id="slideShow"
source="slideshow.swf?xmlFile=cover.xml&progressColor=0xCCCCCC" />

Dirk.

Subject: [flexcoders] Embedding a slideshow swf that calls image files


I have a slideshow generator that does a great job of one task, showing
a particular format of a slideshow. I want to embed this slideshow in a
Flex app. I have looked through the docs and forums and have found
similar questions, but none with exactly the same problem, and I confess
I can't figure out how best to do this.

How, should I put one of these slideshows, or any swf for that matter,
in a contanier, say a viewstack, and pass it the parameters it needs to
function? I need to assume that I cannot change the code of the swf I am
embedding, nor do I have access to the FLA.

Here's the HTML that the slideshow uses to initiate the show and
instruct the swf "player" about where to get files etc:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<object classid="">codebase="" href="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflas" target="_blank" > http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflas
h.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="675" height="450" id="cover"
align="middle">
  <param name="FlashVars"
value="xmlFile=cover.xml&progressColor=0xCCCCCC" />
  <param name="movie" value="slideshow.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="best" />
  <param name="scale" value="scale" />
  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
  <embed src="" id="cover" quality="best"
flashvars="xmlFile=cover.xml&progressColor=0xCCCCCC" scale="noscale"
bgcolor="#000000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="675"
height="450" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer "
/>
</object>
</body>
</html>


Here's the XML in cover.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<slideshow effecttime="6" transtime="2" music="08 Dreams of
Eternity.mp3" volume="30" repeat="true" streaming="true">
  <slide filename="1 Ext Sunset Best.jpg" />
  <slide filename="10 Patio to Dia Head.jpg" />
  <slide filename="10.jpg" />
  <slide filename="Sunset Liv Rm 010.jpg" />
</slideshow>

many thanks
