I have a FLV with two Cue Points that I have created:
1. Music
2. Remote Access
[URL]. So this code works perfect with a componant button but I can't make it work with a normal one. Why? What is so different about them. Why can't I make a normal button and give it the same name "my_button". Why can't I make a custom button work?
I've had an issue with using Facebook's Share feature.
The user experience on the shared content below is just completely unclear (even when I tested some clarified language: e.g. "click here"). Users simply don't know what to do: they often either click "Like," or they comment with something along the lines of "I support you."
According to the documentation, it is possible to share Flash content in these posts. I'm hoping I can create a "Support" button as an SWF button.
Is it possible to dynamically create such an SWF with a custom *href? Will my use case work on Facebook?
i have custom flvPlayBack player, i want to do like add Custom CuePoints using ActionScript and making one button Event , On click of that button , Flv should seek to that CuePoints added using ActionScript . I am using below code to do that.
var rtn_obj:Object; //create cue point object my_FLVPlybk.source = "sj_clip.flv";my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(0, "abs",CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT);my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(4, "abs",CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT);my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(8, "abs",CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT);my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(12, "abs",CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT);my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(16, "abs",CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT);my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(20, "abs",CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT);my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(24,
[code]....
I thought ,this code should work properly.. but when i run this code , it give me next cuePoint which i find using findNextCuePointWithName() method but it does not seek to that point , which i thought seekToNavCuePoint() method should do.
how I can draw Bullet Points using Flex? instead of using image for 1, 2 and 3?
View 2 RepliesI made an animation for my company's website using an FLV via an FLVPlayback component instance. I have working code that gets it to loop, but there is a small seconds hesitation between the end and the beginning of the playback which I'd like to get rid of (the individual frames were designed for it to be seamless). You can see the "glitch" I'm refering to here if you'd like: [URL]
The code I'm using that works is attached.
I've been trying to see if I can make it seamless by using cue points. The problem is the movie gets to the end, auto rewinds to 0 and stops. I know the cue points are there and working because I ran a trace and they outputed just fine. There are only two cue points one at 00:00:00.000 named beginLoop and one at 00:01:24.000 called endLoop (total time is 84.866 seconds). I must be doing something wrong with the code but I've been playing with variations of these and reading tutorials and help content files, etc for two days now. If anyone could show me what I'm doing wrong in the code, I'd be very grateful. The attached code is what I think should be close.

//this is the code that works but with the small "glitch
myListener = new Object();
myListener.complete = function(){

I set up the point scorer like I have in other games and it doesn't move for some reason. I trace the score and it is perfect so it's my code trying to get the this.score.score_txt.text = String(this.pointsI); to record that fails
[Code].....
The buttons increment the score when clicked. is there a way to start an individual timer per button so that the sooner it is clicked, the higher the points? [code]...
View 0 RepliesI have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
I installed a Flash template that has a "Read More" button which is used in several locations of the site. The button corresponds to a single symbol called "button_more" and another symbol within that symbol called "area_more". It's a "Movie Clip" type of symbol, not a "Button" type symbol.
What I'm trying to figure out is where would I find the link to the page where that button points to - it points to different pages of the site depending on where it's located. For example, in the About Us section it links to a page that has more details describing About Us. In the Services section it links to a page that has more details describing Services. So the same symbol is going to different links.
I checked the Properties of the symbol and it doesn't have any option for a link. (I guess it's not really going to a link, but to a different frame in the timeline) But where would I find exactly where each button points to in case I want to edit one of them in the future, or create a new button with a new link?
I have a 4:40 long video and I'd like to show a button and a background image (or a movie clip) at 4:30 and I want them stay on the screen after the video is complete. By the way I use Flash CS5.

View 14 Repliesi've seen about making custom cursors are all the same...
Mouse.hide();
cursor_mc.startDrag(true);
that's all good and stuff but you can't use them... or at least i can't...
i'm making an Escape styled game and i need to be able to change my mouse repeatedly depending on what object i click on... but once i've made my custom cursor it no longer acts like a cursor... i was thinking maybe because the real cursor is on top of the custom one... so it's only ever clicking that...
say i need a "hammer" to smash a mirror in my game
i can use this
Mouse.hide();
cursor_mc.gotoAndStop("hammer")
cursor_mc.startDrag(true);
but how do i make it so the mirror doesn't break unless ("hammer") is selected??

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to basically make an arrow in the middle rotate till it points at the button you rolled over. Each button gives a value for "rot" when you roll over it. 0 degrees is up. I dunno if that's important or not. It's probably always up = 0... heh. Anyway this is the a/s for the "arrow" in the middle. It's instance is arcpoint. Here it is:
[Code]...
I know some of this stuff could probably be shortened but this is how I got it working so far. The problem is the second half of the a/s. The part where it picks a direction clockwise or counter. If it goes clockwise (which I had it working fine at the start) it points at the button fine.But the problem kicks in when it tries to go clounterclockwise. It will always pass the button and point down and flicker back and forth.
Edit: Ok I'm surprised people are even looking at this at 1 am but thats beside the point of this edit. I think it has something to do with the else if statements conditions overlapping so that's what makes it wiggle back and forth. Then again I could be wrong. I'm trying to analyze the conditions but my brain hurts and it's early (or late...).
I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a custom mask to work on a project I'm creating.
The mask I'm trying to use is applied as a pixel mask on a layer in the photoshop doc I'm working off, but I can't seem to figure out the proper way to get that layer mask imported into flash, to then compile into my .swc and be called from actionscript. (I'm coding in Flex)
Whats the proper workflow for getting a pixel mask imported from photoshop so that when I call:
container.mask = myMask;
It'll show up as the shape I want, and not just a square box the size of my shape?
package custom {
import mx.containers.Canvas;
public class CustomCanvas extends Canvas {
public function CustomCanvas() {
super();

The style borderThickness doesn't apply. Whats wrong with canvas style initialization?
I've written a class named preLoad.as to load a jpg into a new loader.

I have a custom class the extends ComboBox. In it I set the textField style to embed fonts and use a custom textFormat. If I put this into a flash file all by itself, it works fine. But as soon as I put it into my actual project, it no longer works. I can't figure out why!
I can't really upload the source, so I was just curious if anyone had ideas as to what I might try to get it to work.
I have created a font symbol in the library for the font I want and exported it. And as I said, it works fine in an empty flash file, just not in my actual project.
For my movie, I plan to have 4 buttons, low, med, high, and auto. I want to specify the points in the movie where the quality should be lowered for slower computers (auto button). The beginning of the slow part would be MED quality and then after it's passed, I want to reset it back to BEST.

XMLLoaded.ignoreWhite = true;

this.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth);

package {
import mx.controls.LinkButton;
import flash.text.TextLineMetrics;[code]....
my issue here is if you use this component you will see that the text is bunched up into a very small area. It does not fill the entire width of the linkButton.
I have searched on the Internet and didn't find any clue on how to do so, any idea ? I don't want flex only flash (my objects are not visual components).
View 3 RepliesSo we have a component we have written ourselves that deals with text display and translation between languages, reading translations from a file. Ideally what we would like to do is have this component be compatible with any font we can embed in the main .swf's library. What's the best way to do that?
Currently we are going down the route of having our component have an attribute for the font name, lets say 'Font1'. We drag the component into the .FLA file we want and then add a new font to the library called 'Font1' and set it to the typeface we want. This is proving to be inconsistent and problematic which implies it's not really an ideal way of doing it.
Is there anyway to achieve the feature we want? The key is flexibility, we want to easily support languages (hence the component) but we don't want design to be limited in their font selection. Its not practical to embed a range of fonts in the component for example, as it adds to file size and is restrictive.
I'm creating a custom component (based on ComboBox) and overriding some base methods. Recently I've found it acts weird when I set it's width in percents, rather than a fixed width. It tends to continuously call the commitProperties method and fail in the end. When I set it's width to fixed value - all works like a charm. What am I missing to implement? Here's some code ..
override protected function commitProperties():void {
super.commitProperties();
//some stuff ...

I am trying to use the Flash + Set the browser to a desktop agent on the Galaxy Tab.
mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101019 Firefox/3.6.11");
mWebview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
So the issues is, when the UserAgentString param is enabled, flash player wont load as many websites like Iplayer don't recognise the browser in the WebView.
This may be a bug in the Samsung browser. Anyone have any desktop agents that the WebView will accept whilst enabling flash?
I am using a custom cursor for my flash app and when I have the cursor click button1 (menu_btn in the code) it goes to scene2 and when I click button2 (current_btn in the code) it goes back to scene1. The problem is that when I click on button2 it leaves an image of the cursor right there on the button. It doesn't happen on button1. It was suggested that I am calling "cursor = new Cursor();" and extra time, but I am not. The code is below.

How do variables true/false custom variables work in flash?
For example, what I want to do is create a simple true=false variable that I can call on an if statement later.
For example:
Code:
Var1 = true;
if (!Var1)
{
[Code]....
I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.
