1. Re: The whole Flash scene shows a split second before open an embedded music player SWF
Ned Murphy Apr 1, 2013 7:41 PM (in response to dabe76)Can you describe the design of the Flash file? Is it a timeline design where it changes frames, or is it all frame 1 of the timeline? Can you link to an example of its behavior or include some screenshots that show the problems?

2. Re: The whole Flash scene shows a split second before open an embedded music player SWF
dabe76 Apr 11, 2013 12:33 PM (in response to Ned Murphy)Hi Ned
Thanks for your quick reply and sorry for my late, late one. I've been ill for a while and have had a lot of catching up to do.
So, as you can see on the screenshot, it's just one frame and looks all messed up from scratch on the scene.
Here is the link to the actual player: http://www.oxylusflash.com/flashfiles/universal-expanding-mp3-player-as2-audio
And this is the link to how it looks when I have just opened and resaved it in Flash: http://acearchive.com/
It just flashes the messed up scene for a second and then it looks ok.
This is the help I get from the document that comes along with the player and I really don't understand it with my limited knowledge.
I've been contacting the support three times without sucess.
Folders in the Downloaded Pack
1 – Source FLA - original source files , you do not need to upload any of these to your server. Use these to change the code or edit graphics and export a new swf. This product is sold as a Flash CS3+ product (index.fla), however we also back-saved a Flash8 version named index-flash8.fla. It has not been tested with Flash8 which is why it it not officially supported, however chances are it should work just fine in Flash8.
2 - Published SWF – published swf file, html file, js code for embedding the swf, xml sample file; these are the files you need to upload to your server
3 - PSD - here you can find the original Photoshop .psd design.
4 - Help Files – contains the help documents and font information.
Overview
The flash app can be found inside 1 – Source FLA/ index.fla file (which you need to open with Flash), inside the Library (Ctr+L to show the Library), under the folder named Universal Expanding MP3 Player AS2 by OxylusFlash. The corresponding symbol is named mp3Player. If you want to add it to another project, simply open the Library of index.fla, right click on Universal Universal Expanding MP3 Player AS2 by OxylusFlash Library folder and copy, then go to your project’s Library and paste in. Drag the mp3Player symbol (from Library) on the stage in the first frame of the time line or where you want to have this component. Also, after doing this, please don’t forget to copy the source folders containing the .as code ( ascb, caurina, oxylus ) into your new project’s root folder ( near the fla ).
This will add only the actual mp3 player to your project without the patterned background. If you also want to add the patterned background, just drag and drop onto the stage the movie clip called Background. Place it on a lower layer behind the player.
In order to just load this into your flash project you can load it with movieClipLoader ->
var mcl:MovieClipLoader;
mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.loadClip("preview.swf", your_holder_mc);
In order to use this embedded in html you can use the default .html generated by flash when compiling this or you can use the provided .html code with java-script where you can specify the .xml file like so: so.addVariable(“xml”, “data.xml”);
