I am not able to solve this issue despite trying very hard, hence posting it here.
As the title says, I have an Adobe air desktop app and when I click a button I want to display one html content from a remote server.
I have tried two approaches, namely HtmlLoader and StageWebView. These are opening a new Window, but not displaying the html content.
My sample html file -
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Action script code -
var windowOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
windowOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD;
windowOptions.type = NativeWindowType.NORMAL;
var newWindow:NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(windowOptions);
newWindow.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
newWindow.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
newWindow.activate();
var htmlLoader:HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader();
htmlLoader.width = newWindow.stage.stageWidth;
htmlLoader.height = newWindow.stage.stageHeight;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
htmlLoader.load(request);
newWindow.stage.addChild(htmlLoader);
But the htmlLoader is not displaying the content. Even I tried with asynchronous method -
htmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
but even then no content!
I tried with StageWebView, as documented here, but even then the same problem!
var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
webView.stage = this.stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
webView.loadURL(url);
I went through all the examples as mentioned here, don't know whether I should try any other alternative approach.
How can I fix this issue?
Thanks.
I recently built an AIR desktop app for MacOS and Windows and came across lots of issues with StageWebView. I ended up using a ANE.

Regarding your code above:
The url variable is not being set.
Set width and height as hard coded integers to ensure width or height is not being set to 0.
Initially test with a trusted url like www.google.com to rule out issues with your own server.

i have tried add equalizer my online radio. i was used http://www.everyday3d.com/blog/index.php/2008/03/26/classic-sound-equalizer-in-flashas3/
flash source file . it's working fine when i am worked in flash ide. but on my server the equalizer doesnot show. but if the playing file is mp3 format it will worked but if we play the stream url it's not working. i dont know how can i fix this. i am using as3, i am new to flash. please help any one. thanks advance
the equalizer code
var es:EqualizerSettings = new EqualizerSettings();
es.numOfBars = 80;
es.height = 30;
es.barSize = 3;
es.vgrid = true;
es.hgrid = 2;
es.colorManager = new GradientBarColor(0xffff4444);
es.effect = EqualizerSettings.FX_REFLECTION;
var e:Equalizer = new Equalizer();
e.update(es);
e.x = 100;
e.y = 60;
addChild(e);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, e.render);
What Gio said, SoundMixer.computeSpectrum-based approach, such as the one linked in your question, suffers from security problems. But there are alternatives, for example check this code: http://wonderfl.net/c/euIb/read (some of stream URLs in it are dead, and it might not work right away - so try it with your own stream URL)
I'm running a website from a USB drive and trying to pass parameters through the address bar to a new window when a button is clicked in the embedded flash swf.
The problem is that on some workstations the parameters are stripped from the URL. On others it works fine.
I have a movieclip button that when clicked calls this function:
function onReleaseHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent) {
var printURL = "html/certPopup.html";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(printURL);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.vModTitle = modTitle;
variables.vFirstName = firstName;
variables.vLastName = lastName;
variables.vLang = language;
request.data = variables;
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
}
On machines where this is working, the certPopup.html page opens in a new tab and the URL in the address bar looks like this:
file:///G:/courses/flash/1/EN/course/html/certPopup.html?vFirstName=Charlie&vModTitle=This%20is%20the%20Title&vLang=EN&vLastName=Brown
On workstations where this is not working the URL in the address bar appears as:
G:\courses\flash\1\EN\course\html\certPopup.html
Browser is IE version 10.0.9200.16540 on all workstations.
Flash version is WIN 11,6,602,180 or higher.
I'm really stumped as to why the URL in the address bar is different on different machines, with the parameters being stripped.
The reason the first works and second doesn't is, that the first one is a URL, the second one is a file path. I have no idea if this might work, but try changing
var printURL = "html/certPopup.html";
to
var printURL = root.loaderInfo.loaderURL.replace(root.loaderInfo.loaderURL.split("/").pop(), ""); + "html/certPopup.html";
But since you are working on an offline project: Why don´t you work with AIR with captive runtime? Would be easier and the possibilities would be much greater?
I am creating dynamic TextFields in actionscript 3.0. Like many others, my text disappears when I set .embedFonts = true;
ArialSlim is embedded and exported for actionscript. I have successfully tested with trace(Font.enumerateFonts());
Interestingly enough, when I comment out the embed line (as shown below), the font works properly.
Alternatively, .setTextFormat(); also works properly without the .embedFonts line.
So my questions is, why? Will I run into any issues in this case?
var divArray = new Array();
var x_Lbl_Array:Array = new Array();
var entries:int = 10;
var labelFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var arial:Font = new ArialSlim();
labelFormat.font = arial.fontName;
labelFormat.size = 10;
var xVar:int = 0;
for(var loop:int = 0; loop < entries; loop++){
x_Lbl_Array[loop] = new TextField();
//x_Lbl_Array[loop].embedFonts = true;
x_Lbl_Array[loop].antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.NORMAL;
x_Lbl_Array[loop].defaultTextFormat = labelFormat;
x_Lbl_Array[loop].x = xVar;
x_Lbl_Array[loop].y = 165;
x_Lbl_Array[loop].text = "test";
mc.addChild(x_Lbl_Array[loop]);
xVar++;
}
Edit:
I just ran this code from frame 1 with .embedFonts = true; and it worked...
Maybe I should mention that I'm having trouble running this code in a method inside an instantiated actionscript class. The class is located in an external .as file. Does this help answer my question?
I tried your code and it worked for me (with the embedded font)
check if you have all the characters included.
You can either set the character range, or create a textfield that has all the characters.
It turns out that I at some point clicked "TLF (DF4)" in the outline format options for my embedded font. When I corrected this, and chose "Classic (DF3)," it fixed my problem.
I guess what I find to be really weird is that the font was showing properly without .embedFonts being set to true
Thank you, Daniel. I appreciate the help.
I would like to preface this wall of text by saying, I am very new at this. I may be missing something obvious.
I'm working in Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I'm trying to use actionscript to create a textfield, and populate it with text. I've embedded my font in my project using the "Font Embedding" window. However, when the code to create the textfield is run, if "embedFont = true;", the font is invisible. The cursor still changes when hovering over it, so I know it's there. Or at least its text box is, I guess. Dynamic textfields with embedded text which are already on the stage seem to be unaffected.
I've tried changing the embedded fonts outline format, neither work. I've tried directly embedding the font with the "embed" tag via actionscript, but it doesn't seem to work with CS5, or I don't know what I'm doing. As you can see in the code provided, I've tried "registering" the font, with no success. I've tried using:
var font:Font = new screenfont(); //"screenfont" is the name from Embedding Fonts
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = screenfont.fontName;
No dice.
I've followed some different tutorials about embedding, and come across a wealth of conflicted, confusing information. I've read a few different posts pertaining to this subject, but haven't found any viable solutions as of yet.
Here's a simple version of my code, where "screenfont" is the name I specified in the Embedding Fonts window:
Font.registerFont(screenfont);
//TextFormat
var listformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
listformat.align = TextFormatAlign.LEFT;
listformat.size = 20.8;
listformat.color = 0x0DAC54;
listformat.font="Fixedsys Excelsior 3.01";
//TextField
var photolist:TextField = new TextField();
photolist.x = photos_x;
photolist.y = tempY;
photolist.width = photos_wdth;
photolist.height = photos_hght;
photolist.text = photoname;
photolist.embedFonts = true; //<--- This freakin' guy!
photolist.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
photolist.defaultTextFormat=listformat;
photolist.selectable = false;
photolist.wordWrap = true;
mediapage.photos.addChild(photolist);
I hope this provides a clear picture.
So, how exactly is embedding accomplished in CS5?
You should set the text as the last thing you do. So this line photolist.text = photoname; should be after everything else.
var photolist:TextField = new TextField();
photolist.x = photos_x;
photolist.y = tempY;
photolist.width = photos_wdth;
photolist.height = photos_hght;
photolist.embedFonts = true;
photolist.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
photolist.defaultTextFormat=listformat;
photolist.selectable = false;
photolist.wordWrap = true;
photolist.text = photoname;//<-- set text only after applying all formatting and embedding
mediapage.photos.addChild(photolist);
I want to make a screenshot of custom as3 ui element (which was extended from Canvas), and then upload the image on the server.
Could you help me with a small example of this?
I am trying to do the following:
// This is UI component extended from Canvas
var chessBoard:ChessBoard = new ChessBoard();
// I displayed pieces on the board, but didn't add it to the stage (I just need a
// a screenshot, not need them on the canvas)
chessBoard.displayPosition(DataStorage.getInstance().getStoredPosition(0));
var img:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(chessBoard, 300, new PNGEncoder());
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.complexity = complexity.value;
obj.img = img;
httpService.send(obj);
and getting this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid
BitmapData. at

This error was caused by missing width and height of the Canvas. I set them and it helped to create bitmap data this way:
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(chessBoard.width,chessBoard.height);
var encoder:PNGEncoder = new PNGEncoder();
var data:ByteArray = encoder.encode(bitmapData);
I wonder how do I send the image to the server via httpService? Is there a way. Also is data = image file?
Here is a post on someone who has done this exact thing in AS3:
Dynamically Create an Image in Flash and Save it to the Desktop or Server
It is possible, and although I have never done it, this may be useful to you: http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/snapshot/
