View 7 RepliesHave a movie clip that I've set up in my fla, but I can't seem to get it off frame 1 with actionscript: the relevant code from character.as follows.. (i've tried a few other setups but nothing seems to get it to actually go to the "walking" stage. Scaling and other manipulations are working fine. Any insights into what I might try?

So I have my function here which sets up the tween for movieClips that have images on them:
[Code]....
This code is done 20 times with different images added to two different movieClips (b0 and b1) that are waiting in the library. So, the glitch is - this function works damn near perfectly except after a while of navigating to other frames and coming back to the frame with this sometimes the b0 wont tween all the way onto the stage and sometimes not at all. And dont worry about the b0 not being described as a variable I have done this outside the button function as I was getting error messages. I have spent almost a week tooling around with this but nothing works I get the same glitches.
Since my project uses class actionscript files my whole game project runs on one frame and nothing is on the maintimeline so there is only just one frame on the timeline. Just wondering how I could make it so that I could have the first frame with game instructions and a description which then goes into the game being second frame and when gameover goes to third frame using actionscript. or any tutorials or some peice of advice
View 3 RepliesI have a php/mysql backend which allows user to enter descriptions in a form. The editor is the Innova editor and automatically turns <strong> and <b> tags into <span style="font-weight: bold;">. When I retrieve the xml in flash cs3 and output it in a textfield the text paragraphs and all spacing is preserved however, bold and italics etc. don't render at all.
Is there any actionscript code or 3rd party libraries I can use with my fla to get this to render?
I have a number of fancyboxes on a page (one in each repeateritem) which show inline flash when a button in the appropriate repeater is pressed.In Internet Explorer the fancyboxes open correctly and show the inline flash.

View 2 RepliesI have a Facebook application where you can create an animation and share it on your wall. Each feed has a swf player that lets users to play the animation directly on the wall. (like any shared video). As IOS does not support flash, I have also created a native IOS application for playing those animations.
These posts can't be played on IOS devices, when touched, 'Flash Player update required' placeholder is shown.
What I want to do is, to have an alternative link for iPads to play these feeds on my native IOS app (like fb://APP_ID/video_url).
Is it possible to provide a native IOS App url for inline swf feeds?
I am working with a cms tool, and I can't get my swf to find my external css file. Is there anyway I can embed the css in the swf without calling an external file? This is what my action script looks like, and it works from my desktop, but everytime I bring the swf into the cms tool, it doesn't work.

I'm trying to think of a way to place Flash content into a blog post so that it appears inline between paragraphs. I'm writing a custom weblog application in Django (still learning) and I'll be using SWFObject for the embedding.The blog is for me only so the back-end isn't too fancy. I'm simply using Django's built in admin interface. No TinyMCE rich text editor (like Wordpress), rather I've implemented Markdown.I'd like to add Flash content into the body of a post, between paragraphs, in a way that is not coupled to any third party script. Meaning, I would prefer not to include javascript within the body of the blog post as it introduces a dependency on SWFObject. For example, I could quite easily add the following to an entry via the back-end to embed a SWF inline:[code]As you can see this is quite wordy and a lot to remember but it also refers to SWFObject directly. This WILL work, however I would prefer to write it in a "cleaner" more abstract way. What I was thinking of doing is creating my own parser which would translate a custom string into the above just before rendering a template.
View 1 RepliesBasically, what i want to do is have a home page with some images and things on it, and a menu. When the user clicks on a menu button, i want the images on the homepage to animate away, and be replaced with the chosen page (animated in). I understand how to animate things using Tweens in the timeline and also in As3 using the Tween Class, but for the animation i'd like to do it's so much easier to use the timeline (i don't think i'd be able to use as3 to do really complicated things yet).
I can figure out how to make the home page disappear, but i can't figure out how to then animate in the correct page. If anyone can point me in the direction of a good tutorial or just give me some hints i'd be sooo grateful!! I think i'm just struggling to get my head into it.
The following is not navigating within the same window as defined by _self it is opening a new window. No clue as this has worked before for me.
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest('./homepage.php'),'_self');
});
if it is possible to create a full flash site where I am able to click on links within the site and like an HTML website the links/pages are shown in the url as such
HTML SITE - example: www.example.com/bio.html
FLASH SITE - example: www.examples.com/bio
The example for the Flash Site is what I am looking to do and I'm wondering if this is possible.. I've seen some sites that I believe are Flash Sites which have this type of set up please see the link provided. [URL]
I am creating a map (a jpg) and when you click in certain hotspots it uses tween lite to change the scale of the map to 50 to show info on the region. There are 20 regions and every region has its own JPG (900x600px 60k each). All JPG are inside the SWF (its size is 1.3Mb). The problem is that when you are navigating the map sometimes freezes and you need to refresh the page to unfreeze it. Could be this because the large amounts of images or maybe the scale of 50 I am using?
View 1 RepliesI seem to have an issue with a flash I have written. The person who I made it for is telling me that first time he loads the page with the Flash in it, it loads fine. However, at this point if he navigates to another portion of the site, then goes back to the Flash page, he says it freezes on the loading bar. Consistently everytime, but only on his work computer, not home computer or lap-top. I think it might be a caching issue in IE, but I am kind of stumped, anyone ever experience this?
View 9 RepliesI have a site that includes a Flash music player integrated into the layout. I want users to be able to navigate around the site without interrupting the music. I've done plenty of research and thinking and the following are the options I came up with (keeping in mind I want to be as SEO friendly as possible).
AJAX: I set up a version that changes the main content div to whatever nav link they click, thereby not interrupting the Flash player. I set it up in the proper search-engine-friendly manner with direct links and JQuery/Ajax functions. If someone goes to site.com/ and clicks the Contact nav link, it loads what's in the main content div on site.com/contact.php into the main content div and changes the URL bar to site.com/#Contact. The same goes for if they go to site.com/contact.php and click About in the nav, it loads the About content and changes the URL bar to site.com/contact.php#About. Obviously this opens up a whole new can of worms with AJAX and hash navigation/history issues, and I would end up with people possibly linking to things like site.com/contact.php#About (which I think looks terrible and can't be too great for SEO). Store the Flash player vars somewhere and reload them with the page: I'm not sure how to go about this, but I thought about keeping my regular navigation without AJAX and have it so when a user clicks a nav link, before it changes pages it stores the Flash player vars (current song and song position) somewhere, then loads them into Flash when the new page loads. Something with an iframe? Good alternative to a Flash player that will work for this type of application?

I opened up FB3 today, without making any changes, I press F11 and now I am getting this error that I never have gotten before: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable CaratPicker2_inlineComponent1 is not defined.
I find it strange I am getting this error everytime now, when I never got it before and I didn't make any changes before I started getting it. Anyways it is coming from line 78 which is <mx:Component> the start of an inline item renderer.
So any ideas how or why this error is being thrown? I have never seen an error like this before and the message isn't very clear to me as to what the issue is.
I am trying to do something like:
String.prototype.print=function(){trace(??????)}
I can't for the life of me figure out a way to get at the string!
Is there any way to create a textInput box for flex mobile with inline image without using textflow ?Basically i need a text input component , so that user can just use it as normal text input box but to it images can also be entered inline with text. To enter images user can select the image from list and that image will get inserted at the current cursor position.

are inline movieclips possible in textfields? i've done inline images, using the img tag with an html text field.
although i remember it wasn't very "inline" it was a huge pain to line it up properly in the text
any one have any experiene with this?
I just found out that it is executed like a normal variable at runtime. Typically constants are supposed to be 'inlined'........ so when you write this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
...you should get this in the SWF:
ActionScript Code:
o.x += 5;
...but when I decompile my SWF I get this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
Is there a way to force the Flex compiler to inline constants in AS3?
Is there a way I can get an array value out of an inline function which in turn is in a function?
View 11 RepliesI want to load a MovieClip inside a TextField inline with the text.
The TextField documentation says "HTML text that you assign to a text field can contain embedded media (movie clips, SWF files, GIF files, PNG files, and JPEG files)."
How can this be done with MovieClips? There must be a listener we can override.

I have a datgrid with two inline item renderers. The dataprovider for my DG is a nested object (objects within objects within objects i.e 3-layered). Main Object - 1st Level
[Code].....
I use 2 item renderers (one for each datagrid column) which loops thro the 2nd level object1 and 2 respectively (the 2nd level object is a dynamic array of objects, in that the number of objects within keep changing). Within the item renderer I loop thro the 2nd level object using a foreach and then display the data. The data is a linkbutton, which when clicked , calls a remote object function to delete the data from the database
now on the result event of the remote object function call, i call the function to repopulate the DG, so that the updated data is displayed. When i click on the linkbutton in the first row, the backend works perfectly fine (the data gets deleted from the database and the refreshed data is sent back), but for some reason, the deleted data suddenly appears in the 2nd row. When i delete it from the second row, it appears on the 3rd row (nothing happens in the backend since the data is already deleted).. and so on, till it appears on the last row and then the DG looks exactly the way it shld have looked after the first delete.
This is just the beginning. The second item renderer also displays a linkbutton, which when clicked, displays that data in the previous column (the one where this data can be deleted). When i click on 1st row, the data gets added in the previous column of the second row. and so on.. Basically, my DG is acting really weird. I overrided the set data function in the item renderer to refrsh the data and called its invalidateDisplayList. I also call the Datagrid's invalidateDisplayList function after each refresh. The behavior remains the same.
