ActionScript 2.0 :: Any Way To Refresh Users Browser?
Jan 4, 2008
Is there a way to refresh the users browser using actionscript 2? I am showing some sensitive material that requires an NDA from the viewer. the material is in the form of .flv movies that are embedded in my flash site. After we allow people to watch the movies I go to our servers and delete the .flv files. however some web browsers keep this in their cache, like IE. So basically I want o know if there is a script I can use that will refresh the viewers browser after we view it and after I delete the .flv files causing the .flv files to no longer be in their cache.

i'm working on a project that uses php and xml to link my database information with flash. I've successfully allowed flash to read the xml contents. I need to randomise the data i retrieved from the database, so my xml content will change everytime i refresh the browser. However, i realised that the flash content didn't change like the xml content. The script to read the xml is written on the 1st frame of my 1st scene. Is there a way to read the xml again everytime i refresh the browser or re-enter the scene?
I am designing a website with a Flash banner animation on homepage. I would like the animation to play only once per session. When the user refreshes the browser (or when navigates through other pages and comes back to homepage), the swf file should be replaced with a swf/jpg that's static.I do not want to try shared objects for other compatibility issues.
I'm using PHP as server side language and Flex as Front end. In my application there are different levels of users. According to operator's online status QC assigns some job online. I just want to update user's online/offline status when he closes the browser automatically. Flex calling PHP service but its not getting any response. DB(MySQL) is not getting updated.
I'm developing a very simple flex application on Windows 7 64 Bits.It retrieves the user url and then show it:
public var bm:IBrowserManager; protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{ bm= BrowserManager.getInstance(); bm.init(); Alert.show("Your URL is : " + bm.url); }
On my Windows 64 Bits machine (Chrome, FF), it works fine and returns the URL.But, when I run my project on a Mac OS X machine (Safari, Chrome, FF) : it shows:
Alert.show(Your URL is : Null);
I think that it cannot retrieve the browser instance or cannot init the browser manager.
i have a simple preloader in frame 1 (scene 1), and the rest of my movie in scene 2.
the preloader is:
//Import the required assets import flash.display.*; //Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loads this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
Just wondering if its possible to reload a swf into itself without hitting the browser refresh? Essentially, by clicking a button, I want to start the swf over, so all the variables are reset etc, without having to do this within the browser.
is it possible to control refresh button of browser? i want browser to open current frame of flash movie without starting the whole flash movie from first frame. I know that previous and next buttons on browsers can open previously opened frames of flash.
I want to load a image lets say example [URL] I can get the image to load no problem in flash. I also have a timeline so it will go to 10 frames and start over. My problem is it keeps loading the old image.png file untill I refresh my browser. Is there a way every time Uiloader is displayed in flash it dosnt like cache the image without refreshing the page.
I was wondering if anyone might know offhand why the images at this link: [URL] don't load properly the first time. Because after you let the browser load all of the images, then refresh the page, they load perfectly.
I realize that I should be posting the source code, but I don't have it right now. I will post it later today, for anyone interested.

I need browser refresh (page reloading), when we click on button in swf file. i dont know flash scripting. i want just html page reload when i click button in swf file. i want code for page refresh.
im trying to make my flash website full screen inside the users browser, is there any way of doing this to the flash file inside the index file? Ive found it hard to find this info online as i dont mean properly full screen, just full screen inside the browser.
I'm developing an application for the Blackberry Playbook using Flash Burrito 4.5 and Flex. I'd like to create a file browser to allow users to load images from the local system into the application. I followed this example [URL] When I click on the Load Image button in the simulator however, the file browser pops up but tells me that "no file was found with the specified filter", even though I don't specify any filter or even if I specify a . filter.
I have got a flex app that communicates with a Scorm-API.When i run a javascript function from flex with "adl.nav.request" , i have to make a terminate function to make it happen which unloads the whole system,becouse this function updateds an "imsmanifest.xml" file. This xml is updated this time. This xml contains all the items that are connected to the index.hml which runs the flex app. That is why its refreshes. But i don't want my flex application to restart too.
I have researched this issue all over and most people say use the .refresh() method to update a datagrid after updating or adding a new record. This does not do anything. So, my issue is this. I have a mySQL database hosted I am connecting via PHP, I have 1 mxml file and 2 php files (I know I can use just 1 but I am learning and this was easier for me to use for troubleshooting). The issue is no matter what I change on the datagrid the update does not show on the datagrid unless I close out of IE and reopen it. I can refresh or open the page in another window and the update does not show. I have to exit entirely and restart in order for any updates or additions to show.Here is my licenseTracker.mxml
I have updated the mxml code to only show the needed code for the program to run the update.
I am new to Flex and have an issue I hope you all can help me out with.

I had an issue with my index.html testing on IE and the preloader just stalls on "loading 0%". he told me that locally the progress event doesn't have time to load and to try uploading it to your server and see if it works. It worked just fine. Rah Rah Kglad.
So today I'm fine tuning the swf/ fla to clean it up. Reduced some picture sizes and deleted unused files and reduced the swf from 4000 KB to 350 KB Rah Rah Gene. replaced the swf in Dreamweaver and re-uploaded with Filezilla. Rah ah Filezilla.
Everything working great and my preload went from 23 seconds to less than 3. So I'm real happy except for one small issue. Firefox and IE both do this. If I hit the refresh button, it stalls on "loading 0%" once again just like it did locally.
If I hit the refresh several times it WILL refresh randomly....2 times refresh......10 times refresh etc.

Spoke to my hosting company who said everything seems fine on the server. BTW he said Chrome did NOT have this issue Rah Rah Chrome.
in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?
I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.
Trying to detect a browser close event and send some data to the database when the user closes the browser window...but can't seem to get it to work.[code]
