Hi
I have a scenario like this:
I need to merge a few swf files and show a slideshow of them programatically using c#.
I am assuming Merging is supported in aspose.flash.
Just wondering if you could give me some direction how to go about the slideshow.
Thanks
Navin

I have tested the merge sample4 that is in demos and noticed that once i open it in firefox only the first slide is shown not the second one. How to navigate/look at the second one which is merged.
Thanks

Just a follow up to see if you have any suggestions.
Thanks

Hi Navin,

I have merged two SWF files using the following code and the output SWF file plays both input files successfully in the final output:



However, I have noticed that there were some issues due to certain input SWF files. Can you please share the input files you're using at your end, so we could test the issue with those files? Also, the code snippet you're using, if different from the above code, will also be helpful.

We're looking forward to help you out.
Regards,

Hi Latif
Thanks for the response. The code snippet is the same as yours.
The files were just a couple of samples i picked up i will try to send them.
Just wondering if you had any luck creating the slideshow using asp.flash. The scenario is there would be a bunch of swf files and i need to be able to create a slide show from code for these files. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks
Navin

Hi Navin,

Can you please clarify your requirement of slide show? As I understand, you wanted to merge multiple SWF files into a single file and then play all of these files in sequence as a single movie or slide show. If so, then I would like to inform you that if all the files being merged are fine i.e. have no problem, then it shouldn't be a problem to play all of these files as a single file. However, if you think that I haven't understood your requirement properly then please elaborate it a little bit.

I'll be waiting for your response and the sample SWF files.
Regards,

Hi Latif
You got it right. Here are the steps i would like to perform:
1. Merge the individual swf's.
2. Play them as as slideshow one after the other.
I need to be able to do this programatically.
Please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks
Navin

Hi Navin,

Thank you for the feedback. I would like to share that you can merge SWF files into a single SWF and those files play in the same sequence as you add them in the SWF file. So, it shouldn't be a problem to merge and run those files as a single file. Moreover, you can also control the sequence of the movie and can move from one frame to another programmatically.

Also, please share the sample files you're working with so we could test the issue using those files.

If you have any further questions, please do let us know.
Regards,

Hi Latif
Just wondering if you have any idea about this.
If we have 2 flash files and i need to play slide show of these files.
How to dynamically figure using c# out the first file has completed its slideshow and now it is time to begin the second one.
I have attached a couple of flash files that you have requested earlier and which i am trying to achieve the above. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Also:
1. Is it possible to parse a flash file and change the text of it programatically.
2. Is it possible to change the background programatically.
Could you provide an example.


Thanks
Navin

Hi Navin,

I have tested the SWF files at my end and I'm unable to merge them at my end either. I have logged this issue as FLASHNET-13608 in our issue tracking system. Our team will look into this issue and you'll be updated once the issue is resolved.

As far as the question regarding the begin and end of the slides is concerned, I would like to share that once the files are merged properly, they'll be played in a sequence (one after another). However, if you want to go to a slide using your code then you'll have to find the number of frame at which the second slide begins i.e. if first file contains 10 frames then the second file will start from the frame number 11, and you can move to that particular frame. Please check the following sample to see how you can move to a particular frame: Moving from once frame to anther.

Regarding your queries about changing the text and background using code, I would like to add that this is possible and the following topics can help you achieve this goal:
Modify an object in a Flash movie
Changing color of a shape using color transformation

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do let us know.
Regards,
