how Pandora detects when your computer has been inactive for a certain period of time, without even being an active window. I can have it running the background for hours but the moment I walk away from my computer for a half an hour, the music stops.

The navigation buttons in my .fla file are set to the font, Arial MT in Bold. It displays no problem on my desktop computer. However, when I view the website on my laptops, the font changes to what looks to be something like Times New Roman. The same thing happens with my "Read More" button text. It's also originally in Arial MT Bold. On my desktop it appears fine but on my 2 laptops it appears to be in Times New Roman. This is more of an issue because I have these buttons underlined. When viewing in my laptops, these underlines appear to be too long. If I shorten it, it'll probably appear to be too short when I view on my desktop. How can I get the font to be one consistent font for all computers?

I'm developing an AIR app that is receiving TUIO events from a Framework for a fiducial marker based multitouch table. Until yesterday I was faking the events by mouse to work faster, but then I connected everything to a TUIO simulator and the problems appeared.
The TUIO Simulator is a java app. By dragging markers on the simulator you can send OSC messages that I'm forwarding to my AIR app. The problem is that I'm noticing that when I drag something on the simulator, my AIR app lose the focus, and the AIR framerate suddendly drops. If I drag something on my simulator and I switch super fast to the AIR window, everything goes smooth, so it seems the problem is that if my AIR app is not the active app it's redrawn at a lower framerate (I remember reading something about this, not sure).
So my questions are: am I right about the fact that inactive windows in AIR are redrawn at lower framerate? do you have any workaround to fix it and to allow me to interactive with the java app without my AIR framerate drops?
In my project I have a dynamic text box. You enter you name in the text box and then click the submit button. This then takes your name and puts in on another slide. The only problem is that you can skip this by entering nothing in the text box, then the other dynamic text box calls you "undefined". I was just wondering if there was a way to make the button inactive until the text box has some text in it. I have tried if statements but nothing seems to work.
View 1 RepliesI should have saw this coming, there are few mcs and everyone of them has a mask_mc inside, - so that when you click on one of them - animation appears and others mcs become inactive. And so, - they dont. Of course one of them does - the one at the top.
View 2 RepliesI am loading external swf files into my main file to move between different contents.It all works fine with most of the files except with some.The files that work fine have pictures in different frames in the timeline and the navigation buttons within this swf move between this frames to display a very simple slideshow.The files that don't work, I only made one frame, I've made sure it stops there and then I'm only changing the visibility property of the images to view the different pictures.
This files load fine the first time but if I come out of them and come back, they don't seem to load properly the second time.I have tried making sure that the mc_container in the main movie is unloaded each time before loading a new one into it, but that didn't seem to make any difference.the files that don't work are:
Producing / Carnesky's Ghost train
Solo / Film
Solo / Rupture
Artist Collaborations / The Giant Accordion
I have a movieclip that effectively functions as a button, which we'll call BtnA. When I click it, another movieclip containing the content (CntntA) fades in (this mc is on another layer). Then when I click another button (BtnB) CntntA fades out and CntntB fades in. I've got all this working fine for now, but the problem I have is that once BtnA is clicked, it is still clickable and it fades CntntA back in even though it is already active. Is there a way to disable BtnA after CntntA has appeared? So u can still see it, but you cant click it? Obviously I'll need to do this with BtnB and any future buttons I add
View 1 Replieshow to keep items below my pop-up window (window-component) from remaining active even though my pop-up window is layered above my buttons.

I have some movie clips that when moused over, become visible. When clicked the clips are clicked on they tween to center-stage and zoom to fill the extent of my stage. One the zoom completes, I'd like the mouse over effect and function to no longer be active. I've been trying this by just making the mc invisible at scaleX>1. This does not do the trick...
if (allthings.NEZOOM.scaleX>1{
allthings.NEZOOM.alpha=0
}
The function that is running the MOUSE_OVER is called NEOVER and looks like this
function NEOVER(e:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(allview.allthings.NEZOOM, .5, {autoAlpha:.5,overwrite:true});
TweenLite.to(allview.allthings.NETXT, .5, {autoAlpha:.85,overwrite:true});}
Is there a way I could make NEOVER inactive after once I click on the NEZOOM movielip? The click event looks like this

View 2 RepliesI am working on a portfolio website and I have all my navigation with buttons linking to other pages, on the base level. All the buttons are scattered around the stage and when one of these buttons is clicked an external movie is loaded in the centre of the page.

My problem is that the buttons on the base level are easily clicked by accident, even though you cant see them with the white box.[code]...

I have NO idea what the terminology would be for this so I was unable to find anything searching because I don't know what to search for exactly!Anyhoo, I've this on several sites. You've got your main flash working as a main menu on your active browser window.Then you click a link and you get a pop-up. Easy enough. But there's some code or something that can make your main menu and background totally inactive while you browse within the pop-up. When you're done with the pop-up, you close it and then click ANYWHERE on the inactivated "main menu" flash to reactivate it. Load it up, go inside and click the first orange linked text you see. It will bring up and pop-up and "grey-out" the main pag

I want to be able to detect how long they spend on each game and so I want the clock to stop if the mouse is inactive for 45 seconds and then restart when they begin moving the mouse again.

View 1 RepliesWith selenium I'm currently automating tests for a website having flash elements for user inputs. While everything works fine when executing these tests on my computer locally, it fails to load the embeded flash if I start selenium on a remote Windows XP machine.

This leads me to the assumption that whithout any desktop environment loaded or user logged in the firefox window is treated just as though it was minimized or the current tab was inactive, which I know prevents flash from loading until that window/tab is activated.if there is a way to enable firefox to load flash even if it's not currently displayed in an active window?
I'm working on building a demo for a product at work. I'm working in Flash and want to make a few of the features inactive. I want to do so by having certain buttons "grayed-out" or dimmed. The point being that the viewer can still see that the feature exists, but they cannot click on it because it's only a demo.
