ActionScript 2.0 :: Can Non-flash Rollovers Control A Flash Movie
Aug 1, 2007
I have been racking my brain trying to come up with the best way to make a flash movie that can interact with html links on a page. Basically there is a list of products (about 20) that are currently just html links. On the home page, the client has asked for a flash movie. When you roll over product items, the flash movie should jump to an animation relating to that product. These animations could all be built on the timeline of one flash movie, or could be multiple .swfs.
So far the best idea I can come up with is to have multiple swfs. I could potentially position each one absolutely so that they stack on top of each other. Then use CSS or javascript to change the stacking order when you rollover the links.
- I have used javascript to make disjointed image rollovers, is it possible to mouseover a link and then swap a swf file?
- if you mouseover the link, can javascript send a variable to flash, and then have actionscript detect that variable and send the movie to the appropriate keyframe?
- Is it possible to achieve the effect I am looking for if you click the links instead of rollover them?
I am using flash cs3, so i can use actionscript 2 or 3. What I am trying to avoid is creating the whole page in flash, as it would be inconsistent with the rest of the site.

I have been developing an interactive map, part of that has buildings, each is separate movie clip. Each needs to have a bit of stuff happen onrollover and stop onrollout. I have that all working if I code each building separate. Instead of having 60-80 nearly identical blocks of code, is there a way I can consolidate this down to less code. for instance, instead of declaring the name and path of the button I'm rolling over, is there a way for flash to figure that out by getting the name of the current movieclip the mouse is over and then sticking that in the code? here is the code as it is right now:
Code:
var tt2:TooltipBuilding = new TooltipBuilding(0x660000, 0x000000, 0xFFFFFF);
_root.mainMap.mainMap.cateteachingcenter.onRollOver = function() {

Is it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).

I have rollover JS/CSS menus that drop down over a Flash feature with several rollover behaviors. When I'm in one of the menu divs overtop, the Flash rollover behaviors behind the layer I'm on keep firing. Is there a way to tell Flash not to react while I'm moused over a non-Flash layer on top?
UPDATE: This seems to only happen on the Mac (FF & Safari) but not the PC.

The movie was designed in several flash files, each has been combined into a single movie clip and then all the movie clips have been moved into the master document.
Each movie clip is on a single slide.
They play through and when a clip reached the end I have used the actionscript root.gotoAndPlay(x) where x is the slide number of the next clip in the sequence as such my timeline looks like this[code]...

I have to make a flash movie that would allow the user to control the framerate of the movie. Unfortunately I'm not that good with flash and I don't know how that could be done ..I thought about something like
"on(press){

}"

I'm a Flash novice and I can't seem to get this menu I'm working on to function just right.
[URL]
The problem I'm having is when you mouse out from one diamond to another, the menu doesn't always go back to normal. I guess it's because of the way my movie clips are positioned... If one clip on top of the other, the rollOut function doesn't work on the bottom element. If that makes sense. Probably best to just download my Flash file to see how it's set up:

how to set this menu up so it always fades back to normal when a diamond has been moused out? I've tried setting up rollOut functions on different buttons and can't get it to work...

I have a need to control one flash movie with another. For example: I have a graphical interface created in Flash AS3 which is simulating the control of machines on the ocean floor. I have 3D animations that will animate what is happening on the ocean floor when a control element is activated on the graphical interface. At the moment I have this happening all in one Flash player window that has been made to look like two windows. One which is the interface...one that is made to look like a small screen showing what looks like video coming in from a camera on the ocean floor.
What I need to be able to do is have the Control Screen as one window, and the animations to appear in another. In this way we can set up two monitors, have the control screen on one (computer monitor), the animations playing on the other (a large plasma connected to the same computer). The animations need to play within a flash shell and the control screen would need to play in a separate shell. So in essence I need to be able to double click on an .exe....two screen will activate showing one screen with buttons that port animations into the second screen which I have positions to play on the larger screen.

I have a product by IMTOO.com that converts AVI files to SWF files. I used it, and I also specified that I wanted the final file to be small. The final file plays OK in flashplayer 10, but the control bar is all black. You don't see any controls on it such as 'play', 'pause' and 'maximize'.Now there is a menu you can get by right-clicking on the movie. That gives you 'play' and 'pause', but not maximize.My question is, why is this happening. Why can't I see controls on the control bar, and why can't I maximize at all, even with the right-click menu?

I'm trying to control the timeline in my Flash movie. How I have my movie set up is:
1. The main timeline with AS, sound, some text that appears at the end of the movie (credits), and a movie clip of an entire scene with background. Inside the movieclip background, I have several other movie clips of parts of a duck animating, the background scene changing color, and a mask that opens and closes the scene (at the begining it opens and at the end it closes), and an object that I just added ( a ball). I gave the ball an instance name of ball_mc and all I want to do is to make that ball stop from looping the animation when the ball's movieclip is done playing.
I've tried to put a stop(); at the end of the timeline in the ball's movieclip, but that did not work. I'm missing something, but I'm totally clueless when it comes to ActionScript. I've only been working with Flash for about 6 months and haven't really gotten into AS a whole lot.
I have been doing some searching around some and have come up with import flash.display.MovieClip; and this.stop(); or this.gotoAndStop(); and/or gotoAndPlay(); and ball_mc stop(); I've tried using these codes, but I'm still missing something. Sometimes, I get an error that comes up and says that my varable isn't defined. I have no idea how to define a varable?what i need to do to control the timeline to make my movieclip ball_mc stop playing at the end of the ball's movieclip on the timeline?

I'm trying to create flash rollovers for buttons that play the full rollover animation even if you roll of it, and if you stay on it if will play once and not keep repeating. The rollover animation is only short, about 2 seconds, but which ever way I try it I can't get it to play the full clip if you roll off, either that or it will play the full clip but keep repeating if you keep the mouse on it.
At the moment it is just a movieclip in a rollover keyframe of a button.This has stumped me for years. Other sites seem to do it fine (off the top of my head the 4 menu rollovers at the bottom of http:[url].... do it - if you rollover each one left to right in one go they do a kind of Mexican wave) but I just can't see a way of doing it.

I am using an embedded flash movie in my web page. I would like to show some alerts on the page when the movie has played for x seconds, pause the movie while the user views and dismisses the alert and start playing the movie again after that (or the user can press the play button, not important). The important parts being - the app being able to find out if x secs worth of movie has played, pausing the movie then and showing an alert. Is this possible using a php/javascript code within the web page? Or will I have to do this within the flash movie itself?

I use attachMovie to call movie clips succesively on the stage. I use a forward button to slide them in progression but when I want to go back in the same order everything gets messed up. You can see the swf playing here, [URL]..I numbered each frame so you can see when clicking on back button it gets messed up.
// Each of the button functions here call the add_page() function and pass the Identifier of the page that they will display b_0.onRelease = function() {

I'm trying to detect a mouse rollovers on dynamically generated movie clips but I just can't make it work. Only way I can make it work is to put actions inside the duplicated movieclip.
var total = 6;
myThumbs = new Array();
for(i=0; i<total; i++) {

Everything works fine except when I roll over the mc the value of this["myThumb"+i] is undefined.

How do you get the information bar to stop blocking the active X control for a flash movie in IE.when I am in fire fox, it just starts the flash movie. Right in the HTML page. But with IE, the info bar at the top pops up, and blocks my flash movie.Then you have to click on it, and say that you want to activate the active X on the page. Is there anyway to stop this from happening. I remember, using IE, that not all flash is blocked, just the stuff that I make.
