ActionScript 2.0 :: FLV Sequence - Building Interactive Move (Webpage)
Oct 19, 2009
So imagine the scene. I have A Rubik cube visual that I have animated (nice 3d flv sequences that i have imported into the swf). I have a loop that i want to use as a base...and 4 movies that act as transitions each to a different screen containing copy (A sill of the last frame of my transition movie and some copy that I want to add in flash text - think dvd menu style) ( Also with 4 transitions that return the cube back to its default set up and loop).
How would one go about coding these interactive elements. I think of it in terms of DVD menus. I would build in encore and export as flash but Idon't want the 720 resolution. The code cannot be that complicate can it? Its just going to be about controlling how the movie plays, stops (using certain movies as transitions) and coding the button. I suppose i am proposing building an interactive movie style set up?

I need to build an "interactive floorplan" for a shopping centre (or two). Many shopping centre websites already have this (eg Bluewater in the UK). Traditionally, the way to build such a floorplan / map is to do it in Flash. The actual floorplan is a Flash asset and the data that describes which retailer is in each location is fetched from the webserver as XML. That way editors can update the location of retailers without having to edit and recompile the SWF file. However if the floorplan itself changes (for example, a larger shop is split into two smaller ones) then the map has to be edited. Another disadvantage is that the data isn't readily available to third parties for mashups etc. So apart from Flash what would you consider using to achieve the same effect? I know of SVG but IE doesn't support it.

I've been tasked with building an interactive map of all the states in the US and just wondering what the best way is to go about this? I know I could build this fairly easily in Flash but one of the requirements is for it to work on an iPhone so obviously that rules Flash out!
Requirements:
Must work across all browsers and handheld devices.
Must be updatable via Wordpress.
Must include a small info box that pops up when each state is hovered.
The look of the map will be designed by us (we'd want complete control of this as we're graphic designers!) so this also rules out a custom Google map.
I've done a search on here and found two examples, the first is exactly the kind of thing we want but is done in flash - example I don't think I'll be able to create popup bubbles when hovering over each state. An example I like is - Transmit's feature section. How was this built and how could I recreate something like that?

Building a webpage entirely in Flash??I have to admit that I really like flash.I am using it for about 2 years, but I am still not sure if building a webpage entirely in flash would bee a good idea. In HTML I can't achieve the same look, and feel, on the other hand sacrificing the look for functionality is the last thing I would do.

I am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...

We have a flash website built using flex and CS3. Majority of the site has been done using flex. We have multiple flash movies on a page and we obviously have the page loading very slow. Now that we are looking into options for making the page fast, we are trying to understand whether we can run these flash movies in parallel ? Is there some provision in CS3 to make the flash understand that this object will be loaded and ran first and then the second object.

New to this and using Flash CS4/AS3 to build simple website...and everything works fine apart from the swf movie keeps playing when I move to another page.
I am using MC buttons to go to labels on a timeline in a MC. On the time line 'videos' I dragged on UIloader to play a swf of a video. My problem is that when I go to another page (along the timeline), 'home' or 'contact' etc, the swf is still playing from the 'Videos' section. You can't see it of course but can hear the sound. If I click back to 'Video' the swf starts to play again over the first play. I have stop action on timeline above each different section, but this just stops all the pages from cycling.
below is the code i'm using for the buttons.
function btn1Over(event:MouseEvent):void {
btn1.gotoAndPlay("over"); }
function btn1Out(event:MouseEvent):void {

I'm trying to make an application in cs4 that allows the user to move a stickman into various positions and then play back the sequence of moves. Despite the fact that I haven't even gotten that far yet I also would need an undo and redo button. I have a few ideas regarding this i.e. logging each body part's coordinates as the user moves them and editing the timeline through some sort of 'record' button and undoing by having some sort of array...none of which I know how to implement into actionscript yet.

I have been creating a gallery for a client that changes preview images in response to thumbnail images being clicked, I have the basics working but now my client wants further interaction in some of the previews that include using buttons on the preview images that either open a web page in a new window or switch between more preview images. The problem is the new buttons that appear are embedded on the initial preview images (which are set as movies), and for some reason the interaction that has been added to these movies is stopped when run in another movie. Sorry if that sounds complicated!

tutorial where when you click on a movie clip it moves to a certain location on the page and then zoom in and makes it a certain size. Also i want it to move back to its original location if you click it again.I want the move and zoom to be smooth so the users can see it move across the screen then gradually get bigger.

well i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

Using Tween class maybe? I tried the easeOut. But if will write 2 Tween, the 2nd one will overwrite the 1st one, so I only see the obj moving in the 2nd Tween direction, not the 1st Tween direction. I know the coordinates for the 2nd Tween below is not correct (cos all coordinates shld follow the defined reference point), so I need to find out the logo's width and height. But is alright now cos it is for testing purpose.

At the moment I can only move the rectangle forward and it stops after it moved 100px.
how to create the loop ?
This is what I have come up with. not much Iknow.
<s:Move id="moves"
target="{rect2}"
xBy="-150"

I have implemented some utility classes in Flex that I want to use in multiple AIR projects. I have created a swc which contain these classes. I am working on a Linux machine and do not have FlashBuilder. So I am using the compc and mxmlc command line SDK tools. My problem is that I have not been able to find a way to specify the swc when building the standalone project. A tutorial suggested the following command: mxmlc -load-config /opt/flex/4.1.0/frameworks/air-config.xml -library-path=/path/to/utility.swc hello.mxml. However, using that gives me the error hello.mxml: Error: Unable to locate specified base class 'mx.core.WindowedApplication' for component class 'hello'. Everything works fine if I move all code from the swc to a single monolithic pro ject. The code for the standalone project is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" windowComplete="completeHandler();">

I am creating a tool for use at the office. It has, at this point, about a dozen text fileds. From these textfields I want to build an XML document using AS. The way it needs to work is when a user enters text into these fields and hits the submit button that text is put into the propper tags. Each time the user hits the submit button another block of XML code is added to the file.
Here is most of the code. I am building this on another computer which is not online so I am only showing the important stuff here. It works so far but the only output I have seen is a trace. I could have the user manually copy and paste this output to the XML document but I would rather have the document built by the program each time the user hits the submit button. Am I even on the right track here? I have the correct output, now how do I add this output to an existing XML file?
function loadFile(){
var fileName:TextField = docName; //loading an existing XML file.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.Complete, loadXML);

I have no idea what to call it or where to start looking, so I am putting it in the generic and hopefully someone can point me to the right forum or area. Here is my project and I am trying to teach myself how to do these things. I had great help in making buttons on here a while back, now I am trying to build an object right in flash. The easiest thing for most to relate to is a computer that is being built from scratch. So, You start with a base picture of an open sided computer with a list of components underneath. By draggin those components to the box, it snaps them in place. You can also remove them the same way. When done, you click a tally button and it shows a list of all the components you added with product numbers.

I have the below actionscript almost working for playing mp3s. This isn't dynamic or anything. Just links to songs (from buttons) that should null each other out when clicked on. The first song loads fine. However, the second song will not load. I must be missing something. Or maybe I took the wrong approach? Any help would be great.

I remember reading somewhere how you can add variables building on the fly but can't find any references. What I have is a MovieClip in my library. I will use it to create several Menu Items.
This is what I have written:
LessonButton = new mcLessonBtn();LessonButton.name = "menuLesson"+i;this.addChild(LessonButton);

I have built a flash app that utilizes an rtmp feed to stream video and I want to be able to stream my own content. I am looking into building the machine that will run Flash Media Server and was looking for some pointers before I get started.
My flash based application runs independently on a large touch screen and is going to be the only pc accessing this server, so I was wondering how beefed up the server needed to be. I would like to get it stream three live hd feeds. Can I run Flash Media Live Encoder and Flash Media Server on the same machine?

I'm looking to build a flash application that acts as a "shell" around a flash game.I only need it to do some pretty basic functions:
1) Calls a PHP script I wrote to determine a few things (if user is logged in, what their userid is)
2) If the php file says the user is logged in, the "shell" should let the user play a .swf flash game that I wrote. And, after they are done playing my .swf game, I want the game to pass out a parameter (score). Again, the "shell" will call a prewritten php script to store the score.
3) If the php file says the user is NOT logged in, the "shell" should display a login box (username/password).
My main challenges have been getting one flash application to call another. (ie: the shell app calling my game). Is this possible?

I'm working with a large set of hierarchical taxonomic terms, where each term ("203") has a matching "term203" movie clip on the stage, and am having trouble getting a recursive function to return all of a given term's descendants.There is a main Dictionary() object with the following nested organization for each term:
{ [object Movie Clip] : { "tid":203, "parent":99, "name":"Culture", selected:false, "otherData":"etc" } }
...where the [object Movie Clip]'s instance name would be "term203". All of these object:subObjectArray items ("terms") are stored in a master taxonomy:Dictionary() object.I've been trying to make a recursive function (which is in itself already a little above my head) that takes the click.target of a movie clip and returns a new Dictionary() object with all of the children and grandchildren and great grandchildren (etc) of that term, in the same, nested organization described above.
The code below traces the right number of recursive loops, but the returned Dictionary() object only contains the first run's terms (only the immediate children of the requested term).
var taxonomy:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
// ...Term info is loaded into taxonomy from a JSON-style text file)
// ...MOUSE_OVER event listeners are added to each
[code]....
I certainly do not claim to be the most efficient AS3 programmer, so I am open to alternative configurations. However, after trying static and nested Arrays, I would prefer to continue using the Dictionary() object as my main pool.As noted, only the immediate children end up animating in the revealChildren() function. It's mystifying to me then, that in the getAllChildren() function, all of the descendants trace sequentially (well in no particular order) in the output window.Also I can't get any sort of name or property out of the subSet Object. That could be the problem.I've only tested it as far as 'two generations,' but it seems that only the first round of calling the function successfully adds those terms to the new Dictionary() object and returns it intact to the animating function.

converting my swf to exe and app. I know that there are several options available. My application will be frequently updated so update feature is essentions for me.
p.s. As another option, I can make app and exe out of a loader app that will load main application module every time it is updated.
my main concern is about build in update feature inside projector eg. Mac app will be able to check for new version of my app automatically...

building and using a SWC.Essentially, my only goal is to put a bunch of assets in a library, and have those assets included when a different swf is compiled. Compile-time, not runtime.
In my assets FLA, I add an FLV to the timeline of a movieclip. In the movieclip properties, I select Export for ActionScript and give it a unique classname ("FLV_intro"). In Publish Settings, I choose "Export SWC" and click Publish.
In my main FLA, I goto Actionscript Settings, Library Path, and add the SWC. In the code for my main FLA's document class, I do this:
var VideoClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("FLV_intro") as Class;
_video = new VideoClass();
_videoHolder.addChild(_video);
The result is a SWF that does not have the increased filesize of the assets SWC (~30mb), and obviously, the video doesn't show up.Again, the goal here is to have large media assets, such as FLVs, external from the main FLA code, but the resulting SWF to contain everything when compiled - no external SWFs at runtime. The client requires a singe SWF. Additionally, I can use a different, smaller set of assets when developing to make development faster.
