Was wondering how to disable sound from an embedded flash object with html?
You can't control the sound of a Flash movie in HTML I am afraid. What you can do is set up Javascript functions with the ExternalInterface object in Flash and you can call those functions from Javascript.
ExternalInterface in the AS3 LangRef:

If you don't have your Flash source files only the SWF I think you won't be able to do this.

I have a online courses with a lot of videos. These videos are in Vimeo for the app of this courses but I use flv loaded to the server in my flash version and the administrator wants to get off these flv.
Cause I don't know a bit of AS3, i can't use the vimeo api. So:
How can I display a webpage (where an html player will be running the video) in my swf? Like some kind of web object. The result, must be the video page inserted in the swf area
Please, be specific in your answer, my knowledge of coding is poor.
Thanks a lot! :)
The best way to approach this would be to setup an ExternalInterface in the Flash course that will communicate with the page. From there, Flash can call a method that is responsible for rendering an iframe embed of the Vimeo player. You'll probably have to pass both the video_id and the location where the video should be displayed (x/y in the event that it changes).
Once you have the javascript setup to render the iframe embed where you need it, you can interact with the player via the Javascript API (https://developer.vimeo.com/player/js-api). The player would essentially be rendered above the Flash (kind of like a lightbox), but will allow the control that you need.
You can also setup whatever playback controls that you need to pass from Flash to Javascript, and eventually to the iframe via the API.
Please let me know if you need any more clarification on how this can be setup.
Mozilla's Shumway project appears to play SWFs without requiring a Flash player to be installed:
Shumway is an HTML5 technology experiment that explores building a
faithful and efficient renderer for the SWF file format without native
code assistance.
I'm looking at the source of their racing demo and can only see a link to a SWF and no JS.
How are they displaying this SWF without any Flash plugin being used?
Shumway loads, parses and executes SWF with JS, and uses HTML5 <canvas> to render it.
You can see a bit better what's going on behind the scenes when you open the SWF in the Shumway Inspector. Direct link for the racing game: http://www.areweflashyet.com/shumway/examples/inspector/inspector.html?rfile=../racing/race.swf
I already know about StageWebView and HTMLLoader, but that only works in Adobe AIR. Is there any way (maybe third party) to do the same in a SWF.
Reason:
I'm building a game in AS3 that will run on mobile devices with Adobe AIR, and there is also a web version that will run as a SWF.
The game has some links, URLs that open in a StageWebView for mobile. My problem is that the SWF has to open these URLs in a browser popup or i-frame... I don't like it :(
What you're trying to accomplish isn't possible in a SWF. However, on the web you will have access to javascript and HTML, and with that, you could replicate the functionality with an iframe that sits directly over your SWF.
I created animation using AS3. Actions are distributed in main timeline. I created frame event listener, which set a current frame of several MovieClips. But when I export video, AS3 isn't executed.
You can export to quicktime format using actionscript driven animation in flash cs3 and above (and maybe even earlier versions, but I'm not sure). I'm not sure about other formats, but if they don't support actionscript, you can easily convert the quicktime video to something else. Just do File->Export->Export Movie... and change the file format to .mov
What am I missing here because my video doesn't have any controls? Is there a special parameter I need or do I need to encode the SWF file in a special way? I just used a MPEG to SWF converter provided by Blaze Media Pro.
Wow. I was thinking this was much easier than it is. In order to get playback controls, you needs to either use some boilerplate Flash code to wrap your Flash movie or you need to script it out in ActionScript. Basially, there is no toggle or anything to just turn controls on for a SWF movie. You'll want to look into some sort of the Flash editor/IDE to build controls into a .fla file.
