I am wanting to try some of the new features of Flash Player 10.2 in flash.When I go to import some of the new classes they do not work.
How can I set Flash up to use the new features of the current SDK?
I picked up enough AS3 recently to create some advertising banners and they work perfectly when I test the movie within CS3 by using ctrl+enter. I uploaded the created swf on the website and experienced lots of weird problems like child mcs stopping to play after a while or movies not playing till the end etc.. On some movies, they will play properly if you reload the website, on some others (the one which doesnt play till the end) that wont fix the problem either. The banners' filesizes are also around 8KB for example and include only text and vectors.
I published my movie by letting Flash create an html file, and the exact same problems are occurring there aswell. I mean I got strict mode and everything turned on in Flash but I'm not getting any errors at all when testing the movie. I also dont see any visual errors. It's just the swf acting differently in a browser.
So I'm trying to figure out what the difference between the flashplayer used by CS3 and the one in firefox is for example. I got the latest flashplayer (10 r22) on firefox and it seems that CS3 is using the flashplayer 9 (I'm not sure about this but its the player I found in the CS3 folder).I'm using timeline based tweens (I know it sucks and I did this mostly on the first banners I created and started using the tween classes built in Flash later on when I learned more AS3) so wondering if this is the problem.
I'm looking for a way to have my main timeline code interact with code inside of a symbol.I'm tying to get my timeline inside the symbol to gotoAndPlay(10) when something happens in my main timeline code.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a bit of problems with simple XML coding. I'm using a simple flash application to write a XML containing customer data (simple stuff, like phone number, name, email, etc).I understand how to write XML manually, but my issue comes when I want to create a element inside another element. I'm using AS3.So, for example, I have the following xml.
<xmlcontainer>
<client>
<name>Marco</name>

i have this javascript tracking-code I need to place in our flash-banner in order for our third-party tracking company to track clicks and that sort of stuff, but I'm not sure how I need to place it in our flash-banner. I thought I coudl simply place this javascript into a top layer or the like, but seems I cannot directly include it like that inside Flash. Then I thought perhhaps I could simply save the javascript file as .js file and call it from within the Flash file, but not sure how to go about it...
Here below is the javascript in question:
Code:
<!-- START::ib-ibi.com View Tag; DO NOT MODIFY TAG-->
<script type="text/javascript">
var _ibHost = "https://";

I have a problem that's new for me.....When I test the following code inside of Flash, everything works well. When I publish the movie, and test it, I find that one of the functions doesn't work the way it worked (highlighted in the code).

In Adobe Flash, I have a movie clip that is added to the stage when the keyboard is pressed. I want it to travel across the screen and disappear once it reaches the edge of the stage. At the moment I use this but the image appears and then stops. Here is my code:
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,runtime);
var c = 0
function runtime(){

Is there some official Adobe article regarding this? Couldn't find one for half a day
I have to build a series of information kiosks and I was considering using flash technology.However, the Adobe license prohibits redistributing the flashplayer with embedded projects. Does anyone had experience with Adobe with similar projects?
View 1 RepliesI recently upgraded to flashplayer 11 and found that it made all the text on my buttons and dynamic text fields disappear. I noticed that you can see it when it first load and then vanishes. I can't find any documentation on this. Does anyone know how to fix?
View 2 RepliesI have apps in flash8 AS2 and flash10 AS3. When I open the AS2 apps in flash CS4 they don't work. This is a massive problem as I put them in a visual basic app with the flash 10 ocx. So the damn thing doesn't open them properly. I thought these things were backward compatible.
View 6 RepliesSo I run into this issue that Enhanced Seeking is enabled by default. And I would really like to disable it (long story here). But it seems you can only disable it on the FMS, by adding this setting to the application.xml. But the thing is we are not sure if we will end up using an FMS or not. So, can I disable Enhanced Seeking without using FMS?

I've written a videoplayer for Android based on Flash (10.2) which plays videostreams. In some cases (*), the player begins to buffer for quite some time. Now, while the player is acually playing the stream, Flash (somehow) signals the OS to prevent entering the sleep-mode. But while buffering, this is not the case and the phone will eventually enter sleep mode before the stream has restarted. So the user has to unlock the phone again - not very convenient. Is there a way to set a signal with Flash/AS3 to prevent the Andoid-phone to go into sleep mode? (*) mostly over the mobile network when the network access performes a handover between 3G and 2G or vice versa
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know of a flash projector 'project' or 'framework' that uses a new flashPlayer for each window?We've used mProjector, which works well to a point, but I'm very disappointed in the fileIO patterns they use. It is very buggy with regard to reading and writing files.
mdm zinc uses multiple windows, but it is all sits on one flashPlayer 'session'. The same applies for AIR. It is great, but there isn't a way to make each window run on a seperate flashPlayer... extreme number crunching on one window will lock up all other windows.
edit - Just to clarify my needs (since I'm adding a little bounty), the app is an ERP application, built on Flex 3.x, and the size and scope of the project == huge.
tl;dr -- I need an exe wrapper (for windows), similar to AIR, that can have multiple windows, running each window on a seperate flashPlayer instance, and when a window is closed, it blows-away that flashPlayer instance / stage / etc.
If i add a preloader code inside the same fla which i have to load. then it takes some time to load its library content first and then it starts loading the other things in Flash.But normal preloader code will not show loading of its library content. So any body have any idea how to make that without loading via other file. i have to add loader on the same file.
View 3 RepliesI have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code:
var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC();
//Makes the image options follow the mouse
function showImgOptions (e:Event):void
{
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.
Writing RTMP Streaming Server for streaming AVC+AAC video. And it works fine with rtmpdump. But I can't force it to work in flowplayer and other flash video players.The message sequence after handshake is similar to FMS / RED5 / erlyvideo / haxevideo servers: I've tried a lot of variations.
From Chrome debug console I can see, what all negotiating messages passed to the flowplayer. The last one is onMetaData. And after this the working sample (rtmp://flash.tvwmedia.net/LiveVideo//Live300) gets NetStream.Buffer.Full. And streaming from my server don't get it.
I'm starting with AVC Header message, containing sps/pps. After it first AVC picture passed. After - AAC header and AAC sample. And then AVC/AAC samples. This dumped OK by rtmpdump - I have working flv on exit. But flowplayer and others does not work.

I decided to rearange my flash site and now things don't work.I used to have an image collage where all the images were buttons and each image was located on the stage ( which made a stage with 10+ loose images)I made each image a button. Below is a code example for one of the images named "icysophistication_app_btn". The previously working code for it was:
icysophistication_app_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_IcySophisticationPopUp);
function onClick_IcySophisticationPopUp(event:MouseEvent) :void {

Are there any other swf to HTML converters, I know there is Wallaby and Swiffy from Google, but does anyone know any others, that support ActionScript. I want to convert a swf file to HTML, but the swf has some ActionScript (AS3) code inside it that is used to populate the swf. I want to be able to convert this into HTML and use JavaScript to populate the HTML version.

View 3 RepliesI'm doing a basic hitTestPoint which works fine when everything is placed on the root of the flash file. However it fails when all the elements are placed within a movieclip. I've a feeling the problem is due either to the registration of the objects changing once they are placed in the new movieclip symbol, the 'relativity/absolutness' of my referencing or the "hitTestPoint (dragable_object_mc.x, dragable_object_mc.y, true)" part of my code.I have two movieclips: dragable_object_mc - which you can pick up and dragstatic_crashzone_mc - If you drag the other object into this a collision is 'traced' in the output window(it works fine until I place the _mcs and code into a new _mc symbol)Incidentally if I use the 'hitTestObject' code on the root or within a movieclip, it works fine.[code]

View 2 RepliesIs it possible at all yet to have an iframe inside your SWF file that loads a website with no external code..?or what about a html parser like this: as3htmlparser.sourceforge.net .can this parser do something like im asking..? or are cross site xml policies needed for such operations..?
