Embed html in a swf?

[nukerer]

Hi,

i need to embed html code in a swf that has embedded another swf file so an external swf file plays inside my swf. Is it possible? This is the code:

<iframe src="http://www.ustream.tv/embed/13251049" width="608" height="368" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Thank you.

it's not clear what you mean but it's probably not possible with as2 and not with a web-based app.

it's more likely possible with as3 and an air app.

[nukerer]

Thank you. Whats an air application? IS it used along with flash or something?

[kglad]

an air application is a program that can be installed on a pc or mac or iOS or android device.

[nukerer]

Okay, but what if i want the swf to be public? Do i have to install that program in the server where the swf is hosted or everyone else needs to have it in order to see the swf?

Thanks.

it's probably not possible to do what you want with as2 and not with a web-based app.

[nukerer]

What about AS3?

it's more likely possible with as3 and an air app.

[nukerer]

Thanks but i think i dont understand realyl well how does the air app get involved. Do i have to install it on the server im hosting the file at or something?

[kglad]

what you want is not possible using a web-based flash app.

[nukerer]

I see. Then, what alternative i have the swf load the file in my code?

[kglad]

yes, you can load any swf into a web-based main swf.  and, if you're always loading the same swf and the html page that embeds that swf never changes, you can recreate the appearance of the embedding html in your main swf.

[nukerer]

Can be done with th example i post? It doesnt seem to work for me.

Thank you.

[kglad]

what's the path/name of the swf you're trying to load?

[nukerer]

I really dont know. Its a ustream player and that i posted is the embed code to display it but i dont know the direct link to the swf. By looking at the iframe code, you see this: http://www.ustream.tv/embed/13251049  which is the player container and the only swf i could find there was:

http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer:167.swf?vrsl=c:480&ulbr=100

but that does nothing, its the player only. Any hint please?

Thank you.

i'm not familiar with ustream.

[nukerer]

Its fine. Flash technology is flash technology, isnt?

[kglad]

i'm not sure if that's a rhetorical question or a non-sequitor but, i can't think of a helpful response.

[nukerer]

Can you get the sole swf file out of the page here http://www.ustream.tv/embed/13251049 that could lead to something good.

Thanks.

[kglad]

here's one of them: http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer:167.swf?vrsl=c:480&ulbr=100

[nukerer]

Hi,

so indeed the player only works when embedded into the original page and it wont work on its own, right?

[kglad]

i'm not familiar with ustream so i can't tell you that.
