ActionScript 1/2 :: Continue Use Of The First Swf Load - Only Works In IE ... Not Other Browswers
May 20, 2011
I have a swf banner that is resident on every page. It loads the first time when the home page is loaded. However, it keeps reloading everytime I change pages. I do not want it to do so. I want it to just continue use of the first swf load. I used the following code to solve my problem and it works great in IE, but not in Safari, Firefox or Chrome. modify or whatever so that the reloading of the swf is stopped in other browsers. code entered in frame 1 of AS layer
Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?
I have a map application I've built using Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3 .as files. It's working fine on my local machine. I'm trying to build a preloader for it. My usual way of doing that is to create a shell .swf file which exists just to load the main movie and show the user preloading progress. Unfortunately, whenever I try to load in a movie that uses external .as files, stuff breaks. I'm assuming that it has to do with the LoaderContext and ApplicationDomain, but I've tried every ApplicationDomain option, and I always get the same errors.
In my map application, I've got a constructor function called Imap() that simply calls an init() function which then sets everything in motion. As I said, when I run the map app, things run smoothly. When I load it into my loader swf, I get (the functions trace out their names as they begin to run):
Imap() init() TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com.[domain].imap::Imap/init() at com.[domain].imap::Imap()
I made a preloader that works perfectly to load one of my .swf's on my machine, but how do I make it work on a site? I'm mocking up a site currently just using local files.
Experience with Flash: very very little (very) Version: CS4 Operating system: XP Pro. I was given an FLV file to display on the web. I imported the file into flash and exported it as an html file.
The movie worked great online, but then I was asked to save a copy of the movie on a CD to send it to a client - I saved all the files in a folder. I tested it on my computer and I was able to view the movie, but when the client loaded the html page, all they saw was a bar (that has the volume & play buttons) and a green line that scrolls across it. Here's what it looks like
Some people can load the html file and view the movie and others cannot (on their desktop). On some computers I tried updating the flash player (I removed the existing one first), but it still did not work.
As much as I'd like to be, I am not a Flash developer - I just use it to the extent that I must (the nature of my job) Did I provide enough information for someone to be able to tell what the issue is and how to resolve it?
I created a simple Flash app that shows a menu on the side with 2 movie choices. Each movie choice is supposed to play a different movie. The whole thing works just fine on my local machine but when I upload to the test server, the movies never start. Near as I can tell the SWF loads and functions fine but the movies dont work... constant loading bar. Of course, I want them to stream in a YouTube-like fashion. I've fought with this for some time, tried .FLV files directly in DW (no joy there either) so I'm stuck. If I replace the movies with images, the SWF functions just fine. Just can't seem to do the movies.
im loading some RSS from twitter.. it works fine when i'm testing local, but when customer uploads it on 3rd part server, it doesent work. It's most likely a flash security issue. Is it possible to make a serverscript file that outputs the RSS to flash? Our server does have both ASP and PHP directories.. so any will do.
I finally finished my game and now whenever my game communicates with my php file/mysql database it fails when the file is being run off the server, but somehow it works fine when played locally.
Here is some sample code:
(This works locally, hence the full url for the load function. But it does not work on the server which I thought was strange.)
Code: startupvars = new LoadVars(); startupvars.load("http://alexville.com/alexvillenetwork/startup.php"); startupvars.onLoad = function(success){ if(success){
I really want to finish this project that I'm working on, but this stupid problem keeps holding me back.
When I try to Load variables from my PHP file on my webserver from my local computer everything goes fine. But when the swf file is actually on the webserver the Load function fails to return any result with no error.
Here is my code:
Code: Stage.scaleMode = "exactFit"; startupvars = new LoadVars(); startupvars.load("startup.php");
[Code]....
What happens after this code runs is that the text boxes dont get filled with ANY text, not even the Logged In As before the variable. So I guess the "startupvars.onLoad = function(success){" code is not being run.
I have a preloader that works fine, but when I reload the Internet explorer page with F5, it hangs, it basically stays there... keeps looping, but does not move to next scene.If I close the IE window and relaunch or if I clear cache it works fien again.Thsi is the AS3 code I am using:
I have made a XMLloader with URLrequest, and it works locally by calling the file directly by its name ie. "myFile.swf". var presLoader:Loader = new Loader(); presLoader.load(new URLRequest("myFile.swf")); addChild(presLoader);
But when I uploaded the loader to the server, I have no file, only "URL not found"-error. So I found out that I should change to URL to "/Files/Images/subloader/myFile.swf" then it will load. But thats a real problem, because I have several loaders.
I'm trying to load an assortment of random old flash works to a main swf, to just grab bits and pieces from their libraries at runtime.the embedded code of the old SWFs is unimportant and subsequently throws misc errors when i load them in. So I'd just like to disable any external actionscript and really just load an SWF's assets for use.
I have a custom cursor, all works fine until I load in my XML gallery. My cursor conflicts with the xml gallery, I know it's a script problem somewhere in the gallery script, but I dont know how to fix it. If I take the script out of the cursor action, the gallery works fine, but no custom cursor, and vice versa. Here is the code for the xml gallery and below is the code for the cursor, sorry for so much script:
I have an swf with a few images on it, the images glow on mouseOver, and trigger an event when clicked.However, when I load that swf into another SWF, the click event works but the mouseOver doesnt glow.
I am making rest calls with a urlload.load(urlRquest).
also urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; urlRequest.contentType = "application/xml";
When I make the calls within the Flash IDE, I get HTTPStatusEvent.status = 400 (or whatever) when an error occurs. And the IOErrorEvent.data contains xml (or sometimes a string).
However, when I run the swf in a browser (Firefox Mac or PC), the HTTPStatusEvent.status = 0, and the IOErrorEvent.data is empty. (Interestingly in Safari Mac, I do get the 400 status, but still no data.)
i used kirupa's [URL].. tutorial to create a movie with buttons that load external movies and works seamlessly.
my problem is that i want to do the same thing on the external movies that are loaded so to be able to load new external movies on top of them. it does not work and i know its because of the _root script that gets messed up when a new movie is loaded. it has to become _parent or smthing but i can't seem to be able to make it work..
I have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?
//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc, //resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter onClipEvent(load) { var maxWidth = 150;
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 have a problem with a FlvPlayBack movie. So when I load the .swf, and click "Play Trailer" locally it works perfectly. But when I load the .html page, and click "Play trailer" the player doesn't show up and it won't play the video.
Link to .html page What files exactly need to be on my server in order for the video to play? Have I called the video wrong? (the .flv file is on my server)
Here's the site: [URL] From feedback I've gotten, it appears that under certain circumstances the first image in a set of images does not load properly, although I haven't seen it myself. I'm told this happens only in Firefox. And I believe only Flash player 8. Works fine with FF and Flash player 9, or IE with 8 or 9 I believe.
look @ the source for this page [URL] It works great in all Webkit/Mozilla browers but in IE 9 we can only see the top half of the swf and in IE 8 it doesnt load @ all. I searched all the other threads and nothing seems to work
I made a flash mp3 player and it works fine in any other test pages. but when i embed it onto my site it just shows blank. what do i do? my site is [URL] and the flash player i tested here [URL] and it plays. What im i doing wrong? i tryed everything. right now i just got it in a iframe but i dont want that iframe.
My problem is that whenever I switch frames the music in my flash project restarts and overlaps and sounds incredibly crappy.Is there any way I can make it so that my music opens on my first frame and continues playing through all subsequent frames?
When my movie ends I need it to go to frame 31 and then continue to play until it reaches the end again and then repeat. I'm guessing that I need some king of looping function.[code]...
I want to run a php script before continuing to process any more a.s. because the php script creates an xml file on which the a.s. depends. In addition, I need to send a variable to the php script that tells it what kind of xml script it will create.
(i suppose I could just add the rest of the a.s. into a later frame but that sounds like a method when all else fails)
Here's how it works in detail:
1. someone clicks on the "oil" button which means they want to view all the images in the "oil" gallery.
2. A php script creates an xml that includes only the oil images (that''s the variable it must receive from Flash "oil").
3. The php script finishes its job before a.s. script continues
Here's how I started but I'm not even sure what type of "event" is used to listen for a finished php script or where to put the variable parameter[code]...
I have a flash loop with a function inside (nothing special, just looks through some text files on hard drive). However, some of the files don't satisfy, this is expected and the program throws an error as expected. No surprises there.But! I would like it to move on to the next text file when it finds a bad text file. Instead, it just stops everything.[code]
Is there an easy actionscript that can be added to the main timeline to delay playing and wait at that point in the timeline for a few seconds and then continue to play? Sounds easy but I've yet to see an example of such.
I have a listener that responds to a MOUSE_OVER by starting a function (a rotation on a symbol).I have the containing movieclip looping continuously but the rotation stops when the second looping begins and I want it to continue, as the mouse is still over the object.
