Ok, so I'm working on an Adobe Flash ActionScript 3 file. I programmed a hyperlink to an external pdf file, but I was told that that's a no-go. The file needs to be included inside the SWF, and clicking a button should let the user save it on his computer. I have no clue how that should work.
Any ideas?
You can use FileReference.download(), you can read the documentation. You don't need to include the file in the SWF.

I have an swf file with many scenes. I would like to be able to add multiple hyperlinks to a company Intranet site (set up on SharePoint) that link to specific scenes in the swf file. Is this possible? Thank you!
It's do-able... it's going to depend on how much access you have to the actionscript, the javascript, etc. In short you'll need to be able to add the necessary listeners required to do what you want to do.
I found an example of communication between JavaScript and Flash here: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-how-to-communicate-between-flash-and-javascript--active-3370
Yes, first you need to setup deep-linking in your SWF. Check out swfaddress. This will make it easier to create deep-links (using the browser address hash) into your SWF file. For example, a url such as my/site.html#scene3 could gotoAndPlay(1, "scene3") in your SWF. Swfaddress has various examples to get you started.
Once you have your swf setup to support deep-linking, you can simply create HTML links with the desired url, like <a href="my/site.html#scene3">.
I have created a SWF file using Flash that loads an FLV file on my local development machine. When publishing the SWF file and generating the appropriate HTML, I can successfully load the video by opening the generated HTML page that Flash creates. However, when placing the generated HTML code in my View, the Flash is loading, but the video is not playing. I think it's a reference error to the location of the FLV file, but I've tried every combination I can think of. I placed the SWF and FLV in the corresponding View folder where I want the video to load, but to no avail. Does anyone have a working example that I can look at, or any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes, I think so as well. Have you tried using Url helpers to reference static resources on your site, like
#Url.Content("~/Content/Videos/MySupervideo.flv")
The actual solution to this for me was this...
In your Flash file, the Component Inspector should point to the location on the web server where the FLV file is located...
Publish the SWF, copy the appropriate HTML to the View you would like the video to play in...
And just as Darin has pointed out, use the Helpers to write the path to the SWF file on your web server where it is located. The only difference is this (which I discovered using Google's 'Inspect Element' feature and then clicking on the 'Network' item, then clicking the path loaded on the left for the 'SWF'... on the right it stated 404 Status Not Found... why?
#Url.Content("~/Content/video/name-of-swf.swf") actually produced
src='http://localhost/content/video/name-of-swf.swf.swf'
This obviously incorrect... so here is the correct way to use the Helpers...
#Url.Content("~/Content/video/name-of-swf")
Hope this helps someone... I am giving Darin credit because he pushed me in the right direction...
I am no flash expert however I need to edit the source of the flash project here: http://tools.assembla.com/1pixelout/browser/audio-player/
It's the "Wordpress audio player" I need to remove the skip forward and back buttons when there is more than one audio file.
Anyone know how to first of all use this folder structure, I thought it would simply be a .fla file that you edit but it seems to be loads of files. And then how do I compile it?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan
It appears to be FLA-based, meaning you will need to purchase a copy of Flash Professional (what version you need depends on the version of the FLA file).
It depends on how it was coded, either you need to edit the graphics / layout inside the FLA file, or you need to edit the code in one of the classes. The classes can either be embedded in the FLA file, or they can be in separate standalone AS files.

Please need help.
Thanks in advance.
Unless you've got the source, you can't edit it in the Flash IDE. You can usually import some assets, but that's about it. Your best bet is probably something like this:

You can convert it first to .fla and then edit it.
Here is a link to the free download of swf to fla converter.
So the good old HTML file uploader tag only presents a browse button (without associated text input) when rendered in a HTML based Adobe AIR application. Upon clicking the browse button, nothing seems to happen. I would expect a popup window so I can select a file. I've seen examples of people using Javascript to call the AIR runtime to get a file and upload it, but I was wondering if anyone knew a complete HTML/Javascript way of doing this with AIR.
thanks
Actually, this does work. I somehow managed to stop this from working, probably through a combination of cloning that part of the DOM elsewhere.
