I have created a pre-loader that creates a movie clip holder then loads an external swf into the created movie clip holder. The pre-loader downloads the external swf but then the downloaded swf re-loads on entry into it's first frame.
View 4 RepliesI have a Flash movie that I need to jump to a one of 6 chosen frames when say a user hits the back button or home in the site. I just dont want the same user seeing the flash movie replay in the same spot everytime they go back to home.
Here is what I have scripted:
var numbers:Array = [2,114,415,687,960,1195,1485];
_root.firstTime = true;
if(firstTime) {
firstTime = false;

I have trailed through endless forums and tried adding all the various codes.I have a movie that is embedded within a php page. The movie starts with an animation and at the end, an image emerges with buttons. The image that emerges is actually an xml run slideshow but I don't want to complicate it with this bit of information if it is not relevant. So the film stops there and the buttons remain with a changing background.
I would like to make it skip to the end frame if it has been played before, if someone returns to the page, so that the user doesn't have to watch the entire movie to get to the buttons.I have tried adding this to the first scene however it is pretty temperamental:
var myCookie:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("checkFirstVisit");
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
// Flash Cookie[code].....
I have a movie clip (with instance name rectangle_mc) on the stage. Within this movie clip there are two separation animations on the timeline. The ROLL_OVER animation starts on frame "over" and the MOUSE_OUT animation starts on frame "off." If I roll over the movie clip, the initial animation plays, and when I mouse out the other animation plays to restore it to it's initial state. However, once the rollover animation has played once, it will not play again when I roll over it again, but for some reason the MOUSE_OUT plays every time.

I'm using a Loader to load an external image. And when I'm in flash and test the movie it works perfectly, but as soon as I publish it (creating a .html in the same folder, not uploading it online) it says that there's something wrong with the URL - still it works when I test the movie in flash! This is very irritating, because I have no idea what's causing this. What's even more strange is that I have this class inside my movie, that uses the exact same loader method - only it's used inside a class - and it WORKS published.
Here's the code:
Code:
imageLoader = new Loader();
antalBildObjekt += 1;
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,

Sorry, I'm a newbie with what I'm sure is a deafeningly stupid problem. I'm self-taught, as well, so... there you go. I'm working with buttons that trigger images into a loader. When I test it on my computer it works fine. When I upload the SWF to my site with the code, the buttons appear but they don't load the images. I assumed this was because the images have to load from somewhere, so I uploaded the images to the same folder, but I it still won't work. Now I'm assuming it's an action script issue, but I don't know how to resolve it. My current action script is: on (rollover) {loader.contentPath = "image.jpg";}

It is working and running fine when i compile in flash but when i run it of my web server it wont load. the code that loads it is:textLoader.load(textReq);textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoadComplete);So once it has loaded the url in to textLoader it calls the function textLoadComplete.

I made a very simple loader, it's only a textbox with a percent loaded displayed.
It works perfectly when I use Test Movie in the Flash IDE but when I upload the .swf to my webserver, I get a blank grey box until the entire game is loaded, then it starts the game.
Is there any common mistakes one could make that would lead to this behaviour?
-- Detailed information -- Flash 8 game has 2 scenes. Loader, and MainGame Loader scene has the following code in frame 1:
Code:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function()
{
[Code].....
frame 2 has all my dynamically loaded movieclips placed on the stage (since I can't use 'export to frame 1' or that breaks the loader) frame 3 has a bunch of mp3's the game uses (same reason)
MainGame Scene has one frame that has actionscript code that does everything by code alone, loading movieclips and sounds dynamically.
It's that simple, and the loading works perfectly with various bandwidth settings using Test Movie, but once loaded from a website, the loader fails to appear at all, instead you are greeted to a grey box until the game is fully downloaded.
For a large project I have the following setup:
a content editor made with Flex SDK 3.5
a content viewer made with Flex SDK 4.1
Both need to work with dynamically loaded fonts as the user can use the fonts he wants.
So we used this approach:
convert the font files with Flash Professional to SWF-files (Creating a Font SWF)
editor: load the fonts with Loader (Loading a SWF font) the fonts can then be perfectly used within the application to generate htmlText viewer: the same approach to load the fonts + register them with Font.registerFont (Flex 4 Embed font from swf)
Now the problems: although the loaded fonts are listed when you trace Font.enumerateFonts(false), they are not used in the textarea. There the text is shown with the default font.
Maybe the problem is the fonts are loaded as embedAsCFF for the Text Layout Framework, and that way are not usable in an mx.controls.TextArea? But as I can not change that to a spark TextArea for multiple reasons, I need a solution to use the loaded fonts in that mx.controls.TextArea.
I have a music player and because of my fast connection I cannot test if the pre-loader and or bar works. Also no matter what I do I can't get the second track to play.
View 2 RepliesIntro:I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline: Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"][also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science.

I have an image gallery with a thumbnail class which needs information about the content being loaded to be able to resize it appropiatly. Using.content.height and .content.width I can acces this information, however the swf (online) stops working when this code is encountered. No errors are thrown.piece of code from where it stops working

I've been creating this banner: [url removed] which accesses an xml document, replaces some texts etc, but as soon as you open it up in a browser (like with the dropbox link I pasted) the banner only loops on the first movie clip. Put in another way: The banner you see is looping through only the first movie clip. But the swf file (and the html file) work fine from the local path of my computer.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with pathways. I have a main sfw called "loadgallery.swf" and upon clicking buttons in that movie, it loads other swf galleries into a container called "movie."

Using AS2, I have a simple flash navigation built using getURL to open various pages of the web site. I'm using _self because it's necessary to open the pages in the same window.The functionality works fine, the only problem is my flash navigation is on every page and when I "getURL" on the pages linked to from the menu, the flash reloads when the page loads. This creates a blank spot on the page until the flash loads.What's the best way to do my navigation so that it doesn't reload the flash on every page? Or at least I don't get the blank spot when going to a new page.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip with 4 frames. I programatically create 3instances of it, and send each one to a different frame.

View 4 RepliesFor my current project I am working on a home page that has a series of tabs above a content box that each execute an ajax script to load new content into the content box. However, some of these pages contain a flash object called with SWFObject and when the ajax script calls the page, the SWFObject javascript is not executed and I am left with the no flash support error message.
I have tried defining a function for each video call (short of just designing a single function and passing variables to it) and having the function be called as part of the ajax function but I am left with the same results. I am not opposed to using something other than SWFObject though I have been lead to believe it is the best solution currently.
I have this code (AS 2.0 / FLASH 8) for loading swf from an array, and it works great except one little thing. The lodaded swfs reloads after one second and then it plays like normal.

View 2 RepliesI have a flash within a holder div (flash container). I use swfobject to insert the flash object (if it makes any difference). I want to resize that holder div to make it smaller in width, when I achieve the "second level" in my "flash application". (with jQuery .animate() function). What "flash application" mean: I have a human body on wich I can click in different body areas. That is the first action - and the effect is to zoom onto that specific area of the body.
Then I can click again on a more specific zone into that area - and the effect consists in fetching some stuff via ajax. (it's some medical stuff, diseases etc.) - that's the "second level" in my "flash application". Then I can click on that stuff fetched via ajax - that's when I resize the flash holder. The problem is that, because of this resizing, my flash reloads and comes back to it's original state, without that zoom level. This reload appears in the "second level", and not when I click on the stuff fetched via ajax and the flash holder resizes. But that's the cause of the reload, because without this resizing, it's all ok. The problem is just in Firefox, I tested it in IE6,7,8, Opera 10, Safari latest and Chrome and there's nothing wrong there, the flash does not realod. Hope you understand what I'm saying here :) if not I cand send you a private message with the URL to see what I mean (I can't make it public)

I am setting up a Flash based MP3 player control (The standalone version of WordPress Standalone Player). I have a situation of multiple windows with players open. One window opens the other, so I have the window.opener property available. When the child window is opened, I want to programmatically mute the audio player in the parent window.
This works in Firefox, but not in IE 7 and 8. I know little about Flash/Javascript interaction and I'm stuck. I am not getting any error messages. To do this, the player SWF object has a setVolume() and close() function. These functions are not defined anywhere in Javascript so I guess that those are provided by the Flash object. This is supported by the following lines I found in the Flash source code of the player:
