ActionScript 2.0 :: FL8: Calendar Development - Call A Flash Movie Onto A Higher Level Which Contains The Events Of The Day Click On

Apr 13, 2006

i am puttin together a calendar in flash, as it is ending up on a windows server in ASP, so the lovely PHP calendars wont work. I have been using the code from:[url]to get the months and days working, and have todays date highlighted. Now i need to work out a way that i can set this up to call a flash movie onto a higher level which contains the events of the day you click on. Such as: Because the dates are determined and inserted via AS, im not sure how to set this up, or if it is even possible...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Each New Movie Into A Higher Level Than The Last?

Jan 5, 2006

I'm designing a site at the moment & I've run into a minor snag. I am loading about five external swf's, for each page of the site, from the main 'home' page. you can view it here Trouble with levels. I can load the movies fine, but what I want is to load each new movie into a higher level than the last, as each movie appears with a mask (for an example have a look at the site I've done then click on the 'Contact Us' button - that is what I want to do on all of the pages...) all of the swf's are loaded into level one with the exception of the 'Contact Us' page. (By the way, there is no 'News' page yet)

The very simple code I used to load the movies is:

Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", 2);
}

Actionscript 3 :: Flash RIA Development - Using Events / Listeners Or Allowing Children To Call Functions In Parents?

Oct 20, 2011

I'm working on a web app built in Flash AS3. At a high level - the app has a main screen, and several "modal dialog"-type screens that pop-up to manage various user interactions. (This is a similar pattern I use in most of the apps I develop...) Typically - when the user clicks a UI control on the dialog screen (e.g., button, text box, slider bar, etc.) - the main screen needs to react, or manage the consequences. It seems like there are two general ways to handle this: Have the dialog screen dispatch events that the main screen listens for Allow the dialog screen to call functions in the main screen when those controls are clicked (which requires that the dialog screen maintain a reference to the main screen, and that the functions in the main screen are public)

In general - I understand that one of the key benefits of the first method is that the dialog screen isn't so tightly coupled; it's only responsibility is to broadcast the event. This would allow me to more easily use the dialog class in other contexts, or applications. But for many RIAs I develop - a particular screen is SO SPECIFIC to the the application that there's no chance I'd ever reuse it in another application. So, the "easy re-use" benefit is minimal. So - if you eliminate that benefit - which method is actually better? (More performant, less resource-intensive?) For example - if I use events, then Flash needs to manage many listeners for events that may never occur. So - it might be more efficient if the dialog window could call a function in the main screen directly, instead of dispatching an event.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Keeping Focus On Higher Level Swfs?

Mar 2, 2006

I'm sort of re-discovering Flash. As such, I'm a bit rusty with all the ActionScript and general techniques. I have a site that loads swfs on higher levels with loadMovieNum (i.e., a pop-up photo gallery). The only problem lies in lower level buttons still remaining active; apart from the aesthetic issue, I don't want the user to be able to "accidentally" click something on level0. Is there a general method for keeping the "focus" on the highest level, or making any interactive elements below inactive?

activity.xml is where you put the dates in. open up the file and you'll see how i did it. i marked the dates i wanted highlighted and then put in the url where you get taken when you click on that date.

Flash At Lower Z Level Masks Mouse Events?

Sep 14, 2009

I have a web site with an intro movie playing in the page's header.

The SWF playing the FLV with sound is in a division that is placed at a lower Z level. On top of the SWF, at a higher Z level, is a png image of my header containing an oval transparent window. This image acts as a skin sitting on top of my movie. The movie and sound play inside the oval window fine. I have other reasons for this approach as opposed to integrating the whole header image into the SWF.

The issue is I have no mouse control over the SWF because it is at a lower Z level. The mouse events are blocked by the transparent image window that sits on top.

I want to add a sound volume control to my movie. The control can sit either inside the oval area, or outside somewhere else on the page.

I would prefer to control the volume using another SWF that sits at the normal Z level where the mouse can work. Can one SWF control another?

Other alternatives might be to use Javascript, or even HTML image tags to control my SWF.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calendar Class With Updating Events Based?

Dec 2, 2010

I have built a class based on a calendar script found here on this forum. I have modified the script to work in a class and expanded on the calendar by checking each day of the month against a database to see if there are events on that day. (if there is an event, the day movie clip goes to another frame to highlight said day)Everything works great.. at first glance. The first time the calendar loads, all the days are properly in place and the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGES runs correctly, highlighting the dates with events.

The problem occurs when the user changes the month. Everything again works the way it should except for the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE. This event only runs for each day the first time the calendar is loaded.

Code:
package classes {
//import necessary classes
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Data Integration :: Building An Events Calendar With The DateChooser Component

Sep 12, 2007

The AS2 DateChooser has just the functionality I need to build the events calendar that I have to build .. however .. while I know what to do in theory, I'm stumbling on (a) whether it will work and (b) syntax.

I want to display an instance of the DateChooser (myDate) and access the selectedDate property when the user selects a date. Then I need to pass it to the main events page preferably on the same page with something like this:

SELECT EventTitle. EventDescription, EventLink FROM Events
WHERE EventDate = MMColParam

MMColParam 1 myDate.selectedDate

The page itself is ASP. I am thinking I would probably define a variable and perhaps use LoadVars to load the selected date from Flash .. not something I have done before.

Perhsps something like

dim eventDate
eventDate = myDate.selectedDate

I'm sure that's not the syntax .. but I think that is the theory. I should be able to access the selectedDate property of the Date Chooser instance and feed the date into the query to select the events on that date and list them.

Actionscript 3 :: Send Events Between Objects On Same Level (Global Event Manager)?

Sep 8, 2011

I came to the point where I need to communicate between 2 objects (let's say Tank and the Cannon). It is tile game, and when the Tank approach specific tile I need my Cannon to shot the Tank. When Tank gets that specific tile I want to dispatch some custom event and have listener in Cannon class body to make the shot happen. Other way I would have to check in ENTER_FRAME loop (inside Cannon body class) if the Tank touched tile that runs the Cannon shooting - but this is not elegant and efficient. The issue is complicated by the fact that the Cannon and Tank are added to the Engine (document class) and can't simply hear for each other, because they seat on the same level in display list.

Initially I could addEventListener to the Engine, but this way my document class would enlarge to the XXL size (all listeners functionality, all methods for game etc). What I would accomplish is to have event listener in every Cannon object (defined in body class) listening for Tank's dispatching the event. I saw some 'Centralized Event Manager' article in the net, but can't download full classes [url]...

Web Development :: Web Development - Post Flash Exe To Web?

Aug 26, 2010

I've been given a Flash tutorial to post to the corporate website that is an .exe file with an embedded Flash player. Users will be on IE, so I guess they would get the run/save prompt. I don't like this and I know it generally isn't done, but I need to know if it is OK to just do it. When I try to explain the security issues with executable files, eyes glaze. Is it possible that the users' system admins would be able to block the run prompt and make the user save the file? Could they block that too? The user community is hopeless, so having the embedded Flash player could be a good thing.

Actionscript 3 :: Simulating A Click Call To A Button(displayObject) Thats Generated Via An API Call?

Nov 2, 2011

I'm having trouble simulating a click call to a button(displayObject) thats generated via an API call( youtube as3 API). I have not seen any mention of security reasons as to why I can not simulate a click as long as something is registered with a click handler. Basically I checked to make sure the button made is listening to a mouse click event with:

trace(generatedButton.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)) which returns true

I proceed to than call this:

generatedButton.dispatchEvent( new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true) );

And nothing happens yet if I physically click the button it works. Is there some security measure that prevents something from being fake clicked unless its origin is strictly from the system mouse?

I even set a timeout call on the click function and moved my cursor over the button and let it fire in case it was an issue of the mouse having to over the object but still nothing. I am kind of stumped at this point.
