ActionScript 2.0 :: Discrepancies Locally And Remotely?
Jun 11, 2010
I have a couple of methodology questions concerning an .fla file I'm working on. I made a flash gallery here. As you can see online the images fade in as they are loaded dynamically via the loadClip() method.
I would prefer them to load more like this. Is it possible to load an image to a variable instead of a MovieClip that exists on stage via actionscript?In other words, at the moment the script loads images as you go. I would prefer if I loaded all the images first and then ran the script to render, view, and navigate the images.
In addition to this if you download the zip file with the flash file, source code, and example you'll notice that the position of the images and the text is more accurate than when viewed in a browser. I thought flash was a self-contained entity and that it would run identically on all platforms / browsers / online / offline / remotely / locally.
I know a lot to ask in one post, but I think the script can benefit you as well as me if you just download it and take a look. I'd love to hear suggestions as to how to remedy the position of the images and text.
Starting with a blank project, when I load a SWF which has a dependence on ISomeInterface defined in a swc which is compiled into my blank project
var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext( true, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain ); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load( new URLRequest( "Some.swf"), lc );
I have tested other embedded videos and they will play remotely so I know the hosting site is working.Currently,the live video will play locally and remotely from this computer where all the files are stored but only the skin is visible on any other remote computer's web browser.
I'm running the same flash file ([URL]) on my desktop and my laptop. The dekstop's specs are:
[Code]...
Using firefox and Flash Player 10.0.2.54 The weird thing is, the laptop runs much better than the desktop. The actual calculations (update) take about 1.1ms on the laptop, and more like 3.15ms on the desktop. Even the render time on the desktop seems to be longer. When I publish, I need to make sure that EVERYONE can play the game as it's meant to be played. So I need to know if I should be benchmarking off my desktop or my laptop. I'm guessing something is messed up on the desktop, as it really doesn't make sense atm.
I have published my Flash site to the web server but I notice that it doesn't display correctly in smaller resolutions (I think the smallest it looks best in is 1024 x 768)... the bottom keeps getting cut off when viewed in any small resolution. I figure this is something that can be corrected in the HTML file so if someone can show me what exactly I need to put into that file, that would be great. My site is here if you need to reference it:[URL]..
I've used this website a lot over the past few weeks as a reference for my actionscript 2 questions. It's really been fantastic ï so first I would like to take a moment to appreciate the community and wealth of information on this site and forum.

I want a user running a Flash game on his machine (not from a server) to be able to save some game data locally.From what I've read, there still isn't any way to do this, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone knows a sneaky xml or php work around.
I have a UIlLoader component that loads external images okay locally, but when i tested it remotely it doesn't work. Below is the code i used. I have a movieclip called content that holds my UILoader component and beside the loader is five buttons that when clicked....loads in my images.
I have a zoom slider, code is in red. I have buttons on stage (site39_mc). The zoom slider can be moved manually, that works fine. I need for site39_mc to move slider to 100% scale, no matter where it is currently located. The zoom slider goes from 50% to 200%.Trying to use the code below I get an error._root.slide_mc.onClipEvent(load){ The error is asking for a field name after the "." I keep looking at it, and this is proper reference. URL...This is the site where I am trying to use this code. To see what I mean, click on a gold polygon on map. The map will snap to 100% and center on polygon. But the zoom slider stays at 75% til you manually move the slider.[code]
I create a movie on imovie. I take it to Flash(CS3) and publish it as an swf file I then install that file in Dreamweaver. All is good I save and preview it locally. the file's root folder is images and same remotely I upload all including the HTML page and when I view the page, the place where the file is is blank.
I have uploaded this many times and it just wont work.
I'm looking for an AS3 function to get the filesize of a file that is being hosted on a remote webserver. Tried to find some functions but didn't succeed.
For classroom, how do I actually able to remotely control 100's PC from a master application? Like control the student who also using Flex application is possble with XMLsocket?
I've discovered something odd. When I load an swf from another server into an object/embed, it seems to kill the getURL function in Firefox and Safari, but not in IE.
I'm trying to make an application, should allow admins to edit XML variables remotely. So you don't need to upload the file every time you edit it! I though, modifying a guestbook file could work: Variable Editor, as you can see, it loads the variables into the board and you can also edit it, the first variable get edited but the 2nd one doesn't, strange
I have a zoom slider that works properly. Yahoo! Now I need to be able to control the slider from various buttons located on the stage. The zoom slider goes from 50% to 200%. When a button on the stage is clicked I need the slider to go to 100%. Here is some code...

My main movie loads "contact.swf" which has the email form in it that references "email.php".The form gives the completed message locally when running from the main movie but when I upload it nothing works.
I've made a little game in Flash, and I want it to have an online leaderboard. But after looking into it, it seems it's complicated saving a simple .txt file because of security, and the tutorials I have tried to use, using PHP to do it, have not worked, not even the excercise files. So I was wondering if anyone have either a working tutorial or code to save a simple string in a txt file, or know another way of saving data remotely?
I have a preloader which loads an external swf. When I test locally, everything works fine, but when I test remotely: Preloader runs.External swf doesn't load into preloader. I am using the contentPath to load my external swf, and the only as2 I am using is: on (complete) { this._parent.loaderPB._visible = false; this._parent.mcbgdloader.visible = false;} to hide the progress bar and graphic used in the preloader.
I hope I provided enough info. The preloader is a regular fla and the external uses screens.
Can you access the FMS Start Screen to verify installation remotely? We have a new FMS 3.5.4 installation set up by our IS team, but cannot remote directly into the box to verify the installation per the installation guide. Is there a URL that can be used to access the FMS Start Screen if FMS was installed with Apache?
I've embedded a virtual tour on one of my client sites.
The site is hosted by Slicehost, and as you can see the load times for the Flash movies are very slow, so my idea was to serve the swf files from Amazon S3 Europe.
To test it, I have all swfs uploaded to the same directory / bucket on Amazon, while the index.html and p2q_embed_object.js files reside on my local machine. The js file is changed to refer to the Amazon-hosted swfs. The first swf loads fine, but the others don't. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this that would allow me to serve my Flash assets from elsewhere?
Code: onClipEvent(load){ scrollMin = _root.range._x+_root.range._width // minimum _x value possiible for scrollbar scrollMax = _root.range._x // maximum _x value possiible for scrollbar
[code]....
Do I have to copy and paste all of the slider code into the frame where my btns are? _root.srchMC.dataMC.site1_btn.onPress...
We are working with FMS 4 server for a while for a 2 directions video application, and it works great with rtmp. We now want to use its rtmfp abilities after we used Cirrus for testing in the last few days and it also worked well. Locally - everything is working fine, but when we try the application on the remote server - we have some problems.
[Code]....
Again, it is working beautifully both locally and with Cirrus. RTMP also works well with the remote server.
I can't see how to do this because silverlight is compiled. I don't want to load a video, I want to load a component/object that will be instantiated at runtime. Flash can easily do this as movieclip is also an component/object.
I have a project in Flash Builder and I use Bulkloader to load some configuration files. When I run the project from Flash Builder or in a server, everything works as expected, but when I run the SWF from another location (for example "my documents"), the project can't load the XML.
I have been struggling with this all week now. I am using as3 and within my movie I have a dynamic text box that contains a score.I need this score to be written to a text file preferbly in an array that only stores the highest 5 scores.I then need values from the array to be read and displayed on another movie which will act as a high score table. e.g. I will have a dynamic text box in my high score move that will display the 1st value in the array, and then the 2nd etc.
writing/reading data to text files.Alternatively if anyone else can suggest another method for a high score table please let me know. I only need a basic high score table that runs on a users local machine as the app i am making is desined to run on individual users machines.
