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

[Philippe Maegerman]

I tried on my side and that won't work, I think you 
better have access to the .fla source and modify it to add an init() 
function.
 
Btw, I made a mistake in my suggestion, it should have 
been:
creationComplete="event.target.content.xmlFile='cover.xml';event.target.content.progressColor=0xCCCCCC;"
 
but I think at the time you assign the values, your 
flash has already started

Then it's gonna be hard :((
Try  load="event.target.xmlFile='cover.xml'; 
event.target.progressColor=0xCCCCCC;"
 
I think the 
variables won't be available to the swf at the time the swf is 
starting but it's worth trying ...

Philippe,I appreciate your thoughts. Unfortunately, I cannot 
modify the original embedded swfs. They come to me as is. The slideshow is just 
one case in point, the problem I'm trying to solve is to compensate for 
this.

  Did you add an init(object) function in your flash 
  file?
   
  function 
  init(obj){
      
  var xml = obj.xmlFile;
      var progressColor = 
  obj.progressColor
      .....
  }
   
  That would require 
  to modify your movie of course, maybe add a blank keyFrame with a stop() and 
  your init function.  At the end of your init function something like 
  play() ...

  just thought I'd ad that the embedded swf does execute.. but 
  returns an internal error message that it can't load the data.

    Philippe, I tried this:<?xml version="1.0"

    backgroundColor="#000000" width="100%" height="100%" marginBottom="1"

    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 
      
      <mx:Loader 
      load="event.target.init({xmlFile:'cover.xml', 
      progressColor:0xCCCCCC})">

      Hi,I think in Macromedia Flash Player 8, you can't 
      pass vars to a SWF fileso something like this might 
      break.Please test the application in both players before 
      deploying.-abdul-----Original Message-----From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] OnBehalf Of Dirk

      Embedding a slideshow swf that calls imagefilesDon't know if 
      this will work in your special case but you could try toload the 
      slideshow.swf into your Flex application by using the Loadercomponent 
      and pass your parameters in the query string. E.g.  
      <mx:Loader 
      id="slideShow"source="slideshow.swf?xmlFile=cover.xml&progressColor=0xCCCCCC"

      Embedding a slideshow swf that calls image filesI have a 
      slideshow generator that does a great job of one task, showinga 
      particular format of a slideshow. I want to embed this slideshow in 
      aFlex app. I have looked through the docs and forums and have 
      foundsimilar questions, but none with exactly the same problem, and I 
      confessI 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 
      tofunction? I need to assume that I cannot change the code of the swf 
      I amembedding, nor do I have access to the FLA.Here's the HTML 
      that the slideshow uses to initiate the show andinstruct the swf 
      "player" about where to get files etc:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
