I have a full screen webpage with an elastic bg that is created mostly through AS, XML, and external .swf's. The main menu links to pages (other external .swf's with dynamically loaded content) that look sort of like popups over the graphic content of the main background (img2). There are two problems, 1) there are other buttons on the main page that the user can click when viewing a page and 2) the popups come down directly on the content and make the whole site look rather flat.
I am trying to create a background for each of the pages that has the same elastic qualities as the main page (so that no matter what it will cover the user's entire screen) and will disable all of the buttons beneath it. I tried adding a rectangle beneath the pages other layers, however any script I write for that mc (such as the onResize _mc.width and _mc.height or ._x and ._y) is completely ignored in the main timeline and the rectangle messes with the popup page position -- img3. Also the buttons beneath the rectangle are still active.
I have a white stage and my background is non-solid/non-uniform. My flash project will be my whole website, therefore when a browser window is larger than my stage, the stage color (white) shows in the background. Its basically a white border on the left and right. I wish I could continue my background image to cover the whole browser window. What I want to do is: if needed (if the browser window is larger than my stage) continue my background on both sides by taking a copy of my background image, flipping it horizontally, and placing it on both sides of my background. If you can imagine it, this will give a more uniform continuation of the background. I'm guessing actionscript would be the best bet?
In my project I have five video files that I need to all play simultaneously. I'd like the user to be unable to play them until they are fully loaded, because of course streaming would mean they wouldn't necessarily be playing at synchronized times any more.
So I need to load them all entirely, and have a single button that the user clicks to get them all to play simultaneously.
how I can make a 95% black MC cover everything on the website page (full screen onResize) so I can present an externally loaded image by itself? I have seen this done before in a few flash portfolio websites but I can't seem to find the solution on any previous thread. I may have missed some threads. is there an actionscript that can do all of the above without having to resize an MC?
I have a main stage (its a background image + buttons) and when I click a button, an external swf is loaded in the middle of the page, on the main stage.
I would like the main stage to become inactive, dark and blurry... (you know what I mean?)...every time I click a button and the the external swf appears. Then when I click on the blurry area (main Stage), the external swf disappears and the main Stage becomes normal and active again.
How could I do all that in AS 3?
All I have now is the code for the button, to open the external swf file:
Code: Select allcontacts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Contacts); function Contacts(e:MouseEvent):void { var loader:Loader = new Loader();
I'm loading an external movieclip in a site page, but when I click another page it won't fade away. I mean, no matter which link I click, the external mc will be in every page.
I'm about 10 hours deep into getting an external swf to be loaded on a page in my main timeline. I've gotten as far as loading the external swf (within the first few hours) hahah but now, have spent twice as long trying to get the external swf to be removed when a person navigates to a different page of my main timeline.
I have a videoplayer on one frame which is my "video" page. I've gotten the external swf to load two different ways, for example, the latest code i am using to load the external is below and seems so nice, clean and simple:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("VideoPlaylist_HV.swf"); var loader:Loader = new Loader() loader.load(request); addChild(loader); loader.x = 180 loader.y = 50
But I would like to add a function that says on any mouse click event (navigation) close the swf that is loaded.
If any of you genius people out there can help me, please do. I thought getting it to load was going to be the hard part but I was wrong. I am very discouraged by Actionscript in general.
download what i have so far, i left alot of the content out so the file size isn't big. And yes, i am sure once you see how I work you will be sure that I am no flash expert. I can send a link to the .flas, the site won't allow me to post the link as I am new.
I'm building a website that has a main swf with buttons that open external swfs which completely cover the main swf. The external swf has a close button to return to the main swf. My problem is when the external swf is open the buttons hiding underneath on the main swf are still active. I want to add code to the button on the main swf to disable itself while opening the external swf. BUT, I also want to reactivate them when I close the external swf. Is there code I can place on the close button of the external swf that will communicate to the main swf to reactivate its buttons? It seems so simple but this is the trickiest part for me.
I want to embed some video into my HTML page. As background I want to use big picture. And above it I want to insert loop video with (i.e.) walking man.So, can I embed video (without flash and any player controls) in page?Can I decode video with transparent background? Is there any codecs which support transparent background (alpha-channel)?
I have a flash file (a flash navigation bar actually, which gets loaded in all the webpages inside the website). What I am trying to do is place an external swf file on it in a desired position when the corresponding page is being loaded. I am using FlashVars (variable name -> 'movieName') to pass the name of the movie clips. These variables are read by the navigation swf file and the corresponding swf file should be loaded in the area specified. Now, to create a container, I am using createEmptyMovieClip() method which will host all the external swf files.
The swf files are all being loaded but with a lot of problems. First, no matter what I try, the swf file comes at a fixed place (which is way off from where it is supposed to be). I have tried checking if the container loaded the movie before fixing its position but it changed nothing. Although it did change the position of a weird background colour box I am getting when the movie starts loading - which brings me to the second problem.
A rectangular box flashes once when the external swf is loaded, and its position is being affected by whatever I am setting the _x & _y values of the container movies to. I have no idea why it is happening as it doesn't happen when I test that swf seperately.
How to disable output panel while running app in background for debugging I use trace commands to keep track of what happens, but this is super annoying when trying to run the application in the background as the output window keep popping up thus obscuring everything else on the screen. Is there a way to prevent the output from popping up like that?
How to disable output panel while running app in background
for debugging I use trace commands to keep track of what happens, but this is super annoying when trying to run the application in the background as the output window keeps popping up thus obscuring everything else on the screen. Is there a way to prevent the output from popping up like that? Some setting in the publish menu or other?
I have a flash site that has four pages which all stretch to fit window size.As soon as I go to a gallery page that is called in via SWF, and come back, I loose my dynamic stretching of all my pages...I would like the SWF page to stretch to fit also, and its isn't.
I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?
I have a site up that is a "music" site, it is XML and flash and I would like to know if it would be possible to and how would I enable the page so that it shuffles the songs and plays a random song every time the page is loaded.URL...
I've produced a Flash Flipbook. I works the way I want it to except for one thing. In one of my flipping pages I've created a movie clip inside which consists of an animation. The animation plays fine but when you're about to flip to the next page it replays the movieclip (even though I've put a 'stop' function at the end of the movieclip). I don't know whether I have to create a function at the top level so it disables the movieclip after one page flick? Or is there another way that I can make the movieclip just play once after flicking to the next or previous page?[code]...
I have been working with this beautiful pageflip script kindly provided (opensource) by Macc [URL]
What I am trying to do is to disbale the page flip when the user clicks the corner of the page on a specific page, and rather have a button that when pressed will flip to the next page. I only want this on a few pages so do not want to disbale all the pages.
There are some explanations within the actionscript:
Quote:
/*you can use these functions: gotoPage( destinationPageNo, skip );//quick jump to the page number: destinationPageNo; values = 0-maxpages; skip: boolean; if true, pages will be skipped to the destination!
I currently creating a website which content some pages. example of homepage and aboutpage.I want to make it as below.
If the user clicks the 'home_mc' button i want it to disable to the content cant be loaded twice. If the user clicks 'products_mc' i want 'home_mc' to be enable again, and then disable 'products_mc'.This to prevent user to currently reading on homepage when click on the home_mc button again will cause the homepage animate in again.
but i still cant figure out how to make it. can we use some code like
if(nextPage == currentPage) { //disable the mouseEvent listener of the currentTarget button? }
whats the command that will disable scrolling in the page, but there are no frames in the page.and id like to know also, how can i change color of the layers edge ..
I am trying to load an external swf with a number of quotes into an empty movie clip on the home page. then I want it to obviously disappear when nav to any other page.
1) know that you need a loaderEmpty_mc to load the swf into
2) don't know code for how to get it to load on entering the home page
3) don't know how to cdde for leaving the home page and making it disappear
I've created a flipbook in Flash. It pretty much looks the way I want it to except for one thing. On the 3rd and 4th page I've created a spread where it has have a movieclip playing inside the pages. It plays fine but everytime you're about to flip to the next or previous page it keeps playing the animation inside the page. Obviously I only want it to play once. Even though I put a 'stop' function inside the movieclip it still loops the animation. It looks like I have to set a function at the top level so it disables the movieclip after the first page-flip. Is this possible? Or is there another way that I can make the animation stop looping when about to flip pages? I could only attach the actionscript in word doc as the fla and swf where too big to attach. If you're happy to look into it I can email it to you.
I am implementing several listeners in my application, but they seem to slow my XML load function significantly...I would like to disable my listeners until the load is completed.
I have different swf's as different pages on my flash based website. Only one swf is visible to the user at a time.Once a swf is loaded it never unloads. To control which page to display I use alpha 0 or to 100 for the swf's movie clip holder instead. I use a blocker to prevent mouse events from clips (swf's) underneath. The problem is that the pages underneath still are active. For example you can use the keyboard to access these underneath pages. I want the pages to be completely inactive when they are not on top. The blocker only fixes the mouse event problem.
I have the following site which I need to have a background displayed in (this blends with the background of the flash movie): [url]....
However, when I add the CSS background image property to the HTML file, nothing happens. The site still displays with a white background. There is no error in the code so I am very confused as to what's going on with this. Here is my HTML code. [code]...
I�m creating a .swf that loads another .swf using a Loader and a URLRequest in AS3. The problem is that the external .swf has music in it and I can�t figure out how to disable it. I don�t mind just disabling all sounds, but I haven�t been able to get this to work either.
I'm trying to load an assortment of random old flash works to a main swf, to just grab bits and pieces from their libraries at runtime.the embedded code of the old SWFs is unimportant and subsequently throws misc errors when i load them in. So I'd just like to disable any external actionscript and really just load an SWF's assets for use.
How to remove/disable link from loaded swf content? In flex I have an image component, which loads swf through "source". This loaded swf contains "clickable" links. I want to this loaded swf a simple image behave.
