I am comletely new to AS. And i am now facing a problem of designing a preloader for one of our presentations. I went through the preloaders on this site, but am unable to incorporate them.
View 14 RepliesI'm making a CD presentation. I have:
1- Start.swf (menu used for navigation)
2- Slideshow.swf (27mb)
3- Other.swf's (10mb averag size)
I need a preloader. Are preloaders used both for the web and Cd's, or do Cd's require special preloaders. Right now the heaviest swf takes about 20 seconds to open up. I want to put something in front so that people can realize that it is coming...eventually.
As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?
I was working on a simple game app using Xcode, but when I saw that image manipulation is much easier using the Flash SDK, I reprogrammed the game using Flash.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to incorporate iAds into my Flash iOS app. I tried searching on Google, but all I got were references to the ongoing battle between Apple and Adobe.
I'm trying to do a project using Lee's Math 2 tutorial. It's done in AS2, and I'm really trying to make it work in AS3. "vernbaby" kindly helped someone out in this post:URL...[code]But I can't seem to figure out how to incorporate sound, which is one of the features of Lee's tutorial (I think that the user that vernbaby helped out didn't need this information). I've got movie clips with sound attached (they're videos of people talking), and am unsure of what property, etc. I should be adding in to get the volume to increase with the proximity of the mouse to one of the movie clips.[code]
View 2 RepliesI did Lee's "Full Browser Flash" tutorial, and have got the full browser part to work, but now I need to add my actual site swf to this. In his tutorial, he simply uses a jpeg image, so I'm not necessarily sure how to load my actual site into the movie clip (cover).
View 3 Repliesi have a nice piece of code to set the fullscreen with dynamic text formatting (below)
what i am trying to do is add in a key event listener for the escape key, so that if the user hits esc instead of the button, it will also reset the button's 'normal view' settings
i have tried to do a test in a separate fla but even with just a trace on the function, when i hit esc all the swf does is stop (odd!)
Code:
//bu for fullscreen clicks
goFull_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fullOver);
goFull_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fullOut);

We have used Enliven before to create interactive 3d apps for the web. Enliven uses the Viewpoint Media Player to work. We would like to be able to get the same results using Flash.
Is there a 3rd Party software out there that allows you to create interactive 3d objects and animations in Flash?
Here's a sample of something our company created using Enliven. HHI 3d Viewer
I would like to have a map of the 50 U.S. states. I would like to click on a state and have a small pop-up window that displays the temperature of the capital of that state. After 5 seconds the pop-up closes. Behind the scenes I would also like the clicks being tracked by a database. I am digging around weather.com trying to figure out linking RSS feeds to Flash and I am thinking MySql to count the clicks. Does anyone have any tips or a quicker, easier way to set this up?
View 3 RepliesI'd like to incorporate some flash animation (a 2d character animation) into my objective c app.
I heard you can create and export a flash cs5 app into iphone. But I don't want to export an entire app. Just a small component...
for example, I want to get an animation of a 2d character waving that was made in flash and just incorporate that into my objective c app.
I want to incorporate a commandlist into robotlegs, the way i've done it now is to have a commandlist actor funnel out all the commands when not busy, but when the commands are executed robotlegs loses its' reference to the 'contextView'. Meaning i'm doing somehting wrong.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to incorporate shadowbox into my flash. I'm very confused with the shadowbox flash instruction from their website, but this is what I have so far.I imported flash.net and created a button as follows
ActionScript Code:
mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mybtnClick);
function mybtnClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
I placed the downloaded shadowbox folder onto my server along with the example.swf, but when I click the button on the site, nothing happens!
I am making the following call...
Code:
on (release) {
_root.imopen = "girl1";
_root.girls.imopen.gotoAndPlay("in");
}
And it's not working, it should, of course, be calling
_root.girls.girl1.gotoAndPlay("in");
How to incorporate the variable "imopen" into the path.
how to incorporate a variable into a getURL like so -
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('I want to insert a variable HERE','','width=600,height=500,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No ,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No, fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0); return false;");
}
I want to be able to generate a new window that just loads into it an image that's in the sites directory. I know it can be done in javascript, cause this code works in a html page
<a href="" " onclick="window.open('#fullSiteTextImage#/#uploadTextImageDirectory#/large_#strTextImageImage#','', 'width=600,height=500,noscrollbars'); return false;>
The green bit is a CFM variable, which contains something like flash/flash_images/image.jpg
So how can I do this from flash? I KNOW it can be done. It must be possible, someone please help me. The thing that seems to stuff it up to me is the fact that I have to enclose the getURLs URL parameter in quotes, so flash doesnt evaluate the variable.
However, digging through the SWFAddress forums (as well as their brief documentation), I'm left with the idea that a site must have a very linear navigation in order to take advantage of SWFAddress's deep linking feature. Basically, the Nav must be timeline based, rather than AS based.The site I've designed uses a very common dynamically loaded swf architecture. Does this mean that any site using this architecture will not support deep linking at allSome background on what I'm trying to achieve: I'd like a unique URL that links directly into a section of the Flash site. The 'section' of the site is reached by simply having the right swfs loaded into their container clips.

View 3 RepliesI have been working creating a fla file that loads several swfs and random background images. However, I have a custom form that I want to implement and I am having a problem figuring out how to do so. I want to have it work like an inner popup where it blurs and unblurs the background image (like the schedule from hbo.com).
Here's my setup:FLA file contains-UILoader for swf sectionUILoader for random background image
Lets say I load a section called home.swf into the section loader. Within the home.swf I have a button for someone to call up the form.swf. Is it possible for the form to blur the random background image when loaded then unblur it when it's done? If so how would you recommend I go about programming it. **I also have no idea how to unload it.
I cannot publish anymore my Web site. When I do "test animation" I got no error and my site is Cool! But When I try to publish is, it stop at the middle of the bar and say that the police should be incorporated with "Texte -> Incorporate the Police". I did it many times, saving the doc and tring to republish my doc with no result. Everytime I try to publish I got the same mistake! I cannot compile my server anymore and make any progress.
View 1 RepliesI have this script assigned to a button.
homebutton.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "home.swf") {
_root.section = "home.swf";[code]....
I'd like the "home.swf" to be a random clip chosen out of three .swf's. Is there a way to expand this script to include a random choice script?
I am trying to incorporate the same effect as this. How is it done? Thank you~
View 3 Repliesis it possible to incorporate a checkbox system into a contents page, so that depending on whether or not the boxes are checked, movieclips will be shown?
usually it looks like this
contents page
section 1
section 2
section 3
section 4
with each section having a few mc's each the navigation works by just loading a new mc for each page.. eg: each time you press next it loads the next MC
however i want to add the checkbox to the contents so if section 3 is unticked, the mc's in it will cease to exist or be inaccessible or something, and will be skipped when navigating through the rest of the sections
I'm making my own dynamic 2D polygon pathfinder and have reached the point where i need to incorporate the actual pathfinding between the vertices. I figured Dijkstras algorithm would do the trick. If you know of better algorithms for mesh-pathfinding, please tell me. I know i could write it from scratch with reference to C, but I'm sure there are more efficient algorithms out there than the one I'd come up with.

i got a piece of code i really need someone to compile so i can incorporate the swf with my delphi program. since im not a Actionscript coder. im begging someone to maybe compile it for me? So what i need is the swf is to encrypt/decrypt to a thing called SimpleCrypt. This is the code to encrypt/decrypt
[Code]...
What i want someone to do is to change the code so it has two functions. both that i can call to return either a encrypted or decrypted string. also it shouldnt have a parameter for taking in a string. it should just use this global variable i will set. hopefully it will work with the delphi program This code uses [URL]
im a cs5 noob and i have been working on a platform game. I recently created my first main player animation. My question is how would i import that animation to my game?Can i compress the animation to only use 1 layer at all? right now my original is using about 6 layers for 40 frames. How can i take my 6 layer animation .flv file and incorporate it into my game? also, how would i call the animation in as3?[code]
View 0 RepliesI am doing a project on an interactive website that contains flash animations. I have to incorporate a voice that explains what is happening in the animations. I am using my own voice for this. I have recorded my voice and saved it as .mp3 files. between each animation there are about 6-10 audio files. I am pretty sure I can import the sounds into the flash library and drag the sounds on the timeline and sync the sound with the animations that way but is it possible to control the sound using actionscript as I have to incorporate buttons that allows the user to play, pause and stop the animation and the audio. Or can I only use actionscript to achieve this.
