I have a flash piece that is published to Flash 7 using CS3 Professional. This piece is placed in a eLearning module that was created with Lectora and is run from a Saba 5.2 LMS.Right now I am using the following code to get a button to open a new window: [code]Is there any way of controlling the same things that the JavaScript code above does? Example... Window width, Window height,X,Y placement, etc.
View 3 RepliesI want to open a new internet window using actionscript on a button but I also want to control the characteristics of that window when it opens:
1. I want it to be a specific size - 180 x 200
2. I want all the standard page elements removed - the scrollbar, browser tools etc - so there is just a box to close it.
3. I want it to be centered on the screen
Can I get this much detail with actionscript regarding the new window when I open it?
possible to control the volume (and other properties) of a sound that has been generated with Actionscript using the SoundTransform object.I've got the code below generating a sound, but modifying the soundTransform of the _channel object does nothing. I can multiply the amplitude variables by a number 0-1 to change the volume, but I would much rather use the soundTransform object if possible.
Code:
_sound.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, onSineWaveGenerate, false, 0, true);
_channel = _sound.play();

Is it possible that we can control external loaded swf sound (on timeline) properties.
E.g:
duration
position
onComplete....etc?
I'm trying to set up a form that presents a combobox when an ArrayCollection it's bound to has several items, and doesn't present one when it's empty or only has one item. I've tried doing this by creating this class, but unfortunately, the data provider I've bound to is never not empty at the time the setter executes.
public class ComboboxOrFail extends ComboBox
{
public function ComboboxOrFail()
{

Normally the user can resize the swf window when it is playing on flash player. I want to stop the user to resize it. It is possible when we use 'fscommand("allowscale", "false")'. I dont know why it is not working for me. Did i use the script wrongly or do I need to do anything in somewhere?

View 2 RepliesJust wondering if anyone knows what I would add to my actionscript for a getURL command to make the browser window that opens up a certain size, in my case, really small.
View 8 RepliesI'm an ActionScript noob so I'll try as best I can to explain what I need to do. I have a project where I need to have a floating window that controls a main timeline. The idea is to have a floating window that can be seen only by the operator. This window would control the main timeline or content on a separate screen viewable to the audience. So I'll be using a dual monitor setup. The controller window would have about 40 buttons on it that would turn items on or off on the main timeline. This seems like a relatively simple thing to do but being the noob that I am I'm not sure how to go about it. I essentially need one flash file, the controller, to talk to the other one, the content.
View 3 RepliesI would like to control the size of a _new window that opens by hyperlink to an SWF file that was created using Flash. Any suggestions to control the window's height and width pixel size? The new window opens and is about the same size as the parent. Also, this link loads the SWF file that contains audio and images very slow. Any suggestion on the mostly likely cause, or how to speed up the loading of this Flash movie?
View 5 RepliesHow can I control a flash movie in a window from a child (pop-up) window invoked via ExternalInterface's call method?
The name of the movie is myMovie. Using javascript in the popup, I try to access a function in the movie using document['myMovie'].flashFunction(). However, since the javascript is in the popup window and the flash is in another, the browser complains that the function is undefined.
This would have worked if the javascript and the movie were in the same window.
I use Firefox.

View 2 RepliesI am totally new and beginning my journey in actionscript 3. I want to create a progress slider for a control window where I have play pause btns and i am loading external swf on the stage and controlling it. so I want to create a progress slider for that externally loaded swf which slides as the swf proceeds and stops after it finishes. It wll be more efficient if it shows tha timing of proceeding swf.
View 8 Repliesi am creating a website for a band, with an mp3 player. i want to be able to make an mp3 player that pops up in a separate browser window. the mp3 player would have a "playlist" that can be dynamically changed from the main window, which gives a list of albums & tracks to choose from. the model for this is Rhapsody's web interface. so, how would i go about creating & dynamically changing the playlist (while music is playing) across multiple browser windows? the "playlist" would be an array of references to mp3s, i guess-- so is there a way to pass events & variables across the windows?
View 4 Repliesi have a question while reading Flex 4 Cookbook i came across the method to dynamically adding control to the container controls but nowhere i came across with how to provide them with the dynamic properties and events like they have created a button dynamically inside a group control but what good a button be if i cannot give it an event dynamically. in the same way i want to add a tree view inside a vbox but what good that be if cannot provide a data provider to it dynamically.actually i am creating an web application where i add the tree view to a vbox and i want to the data provider should also be dynamic depending upon the option i have selected in the combo box.

View 2 RepliesJust been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
View 3 RepliesI forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

Is it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).

View 3 RepliesSo I have this AIR app coded in flex where I have several floating native windows and what I want is to detect when a user clicks outside of a window so that I can close it. (I don't want to use the PopupManager Class and would want to use the native windows).
My question is, is there a way to detect a click outside of a spark window, or alternativley is there some root container/object which is a parent to all the native windows so that a click inside any native window would bubble up to it? (Apparently the stage object of the root windowed application is not that object since each window is not a child of the stage for the root application).
How to access main window's variable from popup window.
I create a popup window in the main window, and pass variable "content" to this popup window as following [code]...
I created a Flash application that reads POST data from a form. A user clicks the button, and the data gets posted to the flash app in a new window (_blank). Now takes the data and then spins a wheel to give users a prize. If they don't win a message pops up letting them know they didn't win. If they don't win, clicking the OK button needs to close the browser window.
I've tried a number of solutions and it seems that the only way to get this done is to launch the window with javascript and then use ExternalInterface.call('window.close'); to close the window from within the Flash actionscript (3) because otherwise the window won't close (I've tried just using window.close and window.close() with no luck)
I understand how to launch a new window with javascript, but I don't know how to simultaneously launch and POST data to that window (the Flash application has to have the POST data. Is this the best solution? Is there a way to close a browser window easier than what I'm describing?[URL]
I'm trying to create a pop up window in Flash which also fades the background window to 75% black. When the user closes the pop up window, I'd like for the parent window to un-fade back to normal. Is this possible? I can do the first half of it and make the background window fade to 75% black. The difficult thing is making it fade back to normal when the user closes the pop up window.My thoughts are that I need to attach some code to the browser's built in close window button. It might require some javascript or a fscommand. I'm not sure.
