I've been making a game and want it so you can play again - when I try and send it back to frame 1 (it's preloader) it doesn't really work. I was wondering if there was a way of basically refreshing or reloading the whole swf file?

View 1 Repliesi'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?
View 2 RepliesI'm pretty new to flash and was hoping someone could offer some guidance with shared objects.hen the user refreshes the page by either refreshing or moving to another page the movie replays which is not the desired action.

View 6 RepliesJust 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.
View 9 RepliesAt my site [URL] I have PHP/MySQL talking to flash, when the holder movie opens it loads my home.swf into the content movie clip... It works fine once but if you click the home button (which runs the same function) or refresh the page it blanks out the text field and won't reload the content.
Code:
stop();
goHome();
function goHome() {
_root.background_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.holder_mc.loadMovie("home.swf");

I want an mp3 player stretched at the bottom of the screen that won't refresh on page reload. I just want to embed a basic mp3 player in some flash, or use jquery, or ajax? Not really sure. I'm most familiar with jquery and would prefer that route. I just not sure how you could have a div that stretches through every page, but only being defined in one page.
View 1 RepliesI have a photo gallery that runs in a container, which is added to the stage like so:
import com.xmlphotoalbum.*;
var gallery:XmlPhotoAlbum = new XmlPhotoAlbum();
gallery_container.addChild(gallery);
I want to have it set up so when you click on a "gallery" button, it reloads/refreshes the gallery to its initial state, because the "internal" navigation of the gallery isn't very intuitive...and so the only thing I can think of is essentially to remove the gallery and re-add it, whenever "gallery" button is clicked, which resets the gallery to its initial thumbnail view. I've tried fumbling around with removeChild, addChild, simple if statements, etc.
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 would like to ask a newbie help, How could I reset a movie when it already ended. I am aware it needs to know when the movie finish ,and if it finishes then load the movie again. I know this is very simple but I need help on this .
The code that I use to attach movie is this:
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("tellyin intro2.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);
I have an aspx page with a flash movie (gallery) that calls another aspx page which gets the info form a database and returns XML that the movie uses to populate the gallery with. Currently I have it use a query string that is passed through the flashvars so it will get the right info on post back. Is there a way I can reload the movie and pass the variable into flash without a postback? For instance the page doesn't reload, just the flash with the correct set of images.This is the JS used for the movie:
Code:
Select all<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
[code]....
I believe this can be done using share objects but, have search and search and i cant find a concrete or simple answer to follow.
I have use this and does not look good when viewing image on laptop (768 as height)
What i am looking to do is create 5 pages with the same flash header. Links will be below the movie. When people click on the links a new page opens (same window) without reloading the flash file.
I think i need a code to put in my first frame to store a cookie but cant find the code.
On the new site we are working on, it has Flash and HTML. The problem is when you click on the navigation buttons(which are flash) they should load a new external movie and open the new HTML page at the top. When you publish the file and click on the buttons, the HTML page loads, but flash seems to reload and play the same external movie the whole time. Here is the code I used:

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.
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to limit the bandwidth or screen refresh rate that a flash movie uses? I have a large number of virtual desktops which use RDP and flash performance is terrible.
If I look at a site in IE that use lots of flash, my RDP session can even hang sometimes or more likely become completely unusable.
Tell me how to reload the movie itself, same like we embed a swf file on a web page, click browser's reload button so the flash movie reset to its original state?
But I want to do this from within the movie, when user click "reset" button, all the previous created instances will be released from memory. I can delete each object manually, but lots of work involved, also not sure if the resources are really free.
1,How reload Movie Clip...?
2,when we remove a Movie Clip,children and all instance object are also removed from stage but it still use memory of server.
Does this command exist? I can't seem to find it. I want to basically reload a movie clip on command, and I'm debating taking that part and putting it into an external .SWF file and unloading and reloading it, but that seems silly..
View 5 Replieswhat would i have to do to prevent "submenu.swf" to reload when it's already loaded. this is the as i use:
on (rollOver) {
if(this.content == Number(this.content)){
loadMovieNum("submenu.swf",this.content);
} else {
this.content.loadMovie("submenu.swf");
}
}
Im trying to make it so that when the swf is refreshed/reloaded, it resumes on the frame that it left off on, not restart.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to get a random swf to appear on a page (5 movies possible).How can I code this in AS3?
View 7 RepliesI'm a newbie at programming and had performed serveral search on the net without much useful results. For all you programmer guru out there, please lend me a hand if you can.I am using flash version 5.0. I have 7 flash movie files within one working flash file and only 4 movie files gets display on an HTML page at a time. I need a script that will randomize the appearance of the movie files each time the browser gets refresh. But the script should only randomize 2 of the 4 movie files.
So for example, say I have movie files named 1 to 7. On browser load, I have movie file, 1,2,3 and 4 displayed. Now when a user refresh browser, I want movie file, 1 and 4 to be replaced by either movie file 5,6, or 7 (ie. random diplay of file).This might sounds confusing or I might not be explaining it well, but if you go to www.standpipe.com you will see what I mean. Look at the Case studies section, there are 4 movie files being displayed.
Some Time movie is not loading even refresh. It uses ExternalInterface to post/get some events. Where I need to verify. It is very urgent. Is any work around.

View 6 RepliesThis seems like a simple script I want to write, but for the past 2 days I can't seem to get it started...
Here's what I want to do:
I have a flash movie that I want to play once. If someone refreshes the page, I want it to check to see if it has already been viewed that day and if so, just go to the last frame of the movie instead of playing all over again.
Here's sort of a flowchart:
1. Start a flash cookie
2. Set a variable for a "check date" and "if viewed"
3. Check "if viewed" - no=play yes=checkdate
4. If checkdate = today=don't play goto last frame newday=replay movie and set played for that day.
I have created a little virtual shop that reads the amount of money a player has and then enables different products to be bought. Eg - if someone has 200 points they can buy a ball for 20 or a bat for 200. This all works fine for one purchase. All of the items check the score and are enabled or disabled fine. However, say I purchase the ball - the points reduces by 20 to 180 - not a problem - but the bat is still enabled even though the variable has reduced so they can't afford it.Is there a way of refreshing the variable so that the items are constantly monitoring the variable amounts?[code]I put it in an mc so that if they buy the item it goes to a different frame where there is no mc to check the myscore var and therefore they've bought it!
View 1 RepliesI have a flash banner on every page in my site. I want it to continue playing rather than reloading when users change pages. Ive read that this can be achieved using flashvars.
I have this on frame 1 of my fla file now:
var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("displayCookie");
if(mySharedObject.data.displayed == true){
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame);
trace("cookie found");
[Code] ....
But I don't know how to give the currentFrame the value it had at the time the page was refreshed. How do I put that in there?
