if I put in the contentPath of a FLVPlayback component a file that doesn't exist, how can I catch an error event? (All files are loaded locally, without a FMS) I tried to dodge the problem using other events, but if the file doesn't exist, pretty much none of the events will work.

My aim is to construct a search tool, but I need it to ignore "The" from company names, and from the search, just in case the user searched the company name with The and its not on the xml, and vice versa... you know how it is...Anyway, i basically need something like "ignoreLeft(4)"... 4 being T H E and a space... but ignoreLeft() doesn't exist...
ActionScript Code:
//If the user searches with "the"
if (Search.text.Left(4).toLowerCase() == "the"){[code]...........
The trouble is the XML file isnt ammedable so I have to make changes during the search, otherwise I could just remove "the" from the xml file...I know this is fictitious code, but this is how I would imagine it to sound?
Im attempting to create a class which cleans all the mess it's done by itself. If i make some instances of this class in an external class, i want the base class remove itself, or in other words, if i linkage this class to any movieclip, i want to remove this movieclip not in the file I created it in, but rather would like it to automatically remove itself if i want it to. I don't know if it's even possible. A simple removeChild(this) isnt working.

I have tried if(c_points != undefined){ etc which works to a degree but I don't know how to make the text box blank if the node doesn't exist and load the c_Result node if it does.

Let's say display Object's instance name is "myBtn"
Here I have include only Mouse Out only, Now I want to add additional event handler
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, myBtnEvent);

I am writing a program that needs to go to a random frame after clicking a button. However, the program also needs to start on a random frame. When I call the function at the start of the program it gives me an 1120: Access of undefined property event error. The function is originally written as followed:
function randomMatchedTrial(event:MouseEvent) {
... lots of code that probably doesnt matter, but let me know if it does...
}
the program starts by calling the function as followed:
randomMatchedTrial(event)
Can event handler functions be called outside of the event listeners they are handling?
I am loading an external swf file. This file contains buttons, text fields etc I am controlling it through a class file. The problem I am having is setting up event listeners for objects that are not yet loaded on the external swf's timeline yet..
Example at the end of the swf i have a next button which is used to load the next swf file.But this next btn only shows up on the file frame, so in the class file if I try to reference it, flash obviously thinks it doesnt exist..
Whats the best approach? I was thinking about using an on enter frame listener to detect when this button is loaded??
I am having problems with a ChangeWatcher.Everything seems to be set up correctly.The canWatch method returns true, the isWatching method returns true and if I query the return value of the getValue method I get the correct information, including changes.

View 1 RepliesI am using NetStream to play some .flv files on local disc. My code skeleton is:
public class AdvertisPanel extends MovieClip
{
private var _video:Video;
private var _connection:NetConnection;
[Code].....
I used some .flv files that I download from YouTube to test; and I found that the handler metaDataListener would not be called when playing some .flv files, but some would. Is the problem caused by the video file? Because I may resize the video before play it on the screen, and I really need to know its original width & height.
I'm trying to add a custom callback handler to a NetStream client in a p2p application. The problem is, when I add such a handler, the NetStream Client doesn't function as it did before. It seems the NetStream.client object is changed. I know the default object is this. But changing the client to this doesn't solve the problem.The remoteControlStream, is the incoming stream. And the localControl stream is the stream being publishedThis is the localControlStream that's being send by the peer, and received as remoteControlStream:
private function initLocalControlStream():void{
localControlStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
localControlStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, localControlHandler);
localControlStream.publish(myPeerID+"control");[code]...
The onPeerConnect method of the localControlStream doesn't get called when I connect when the above handler is added. When I remove the that handler, the onPeerConnect method gets called.
whenever I try to call the removeMovieClip function in a callback handler, it just doesn't work! Maybe I'm tired, or I've just missed something this is apparantly obvious. In my code exert below, is just a simple script that attaches a movie clip to stage (square_mc) and creates a duplicate instance. When the component button is clicked, I want the original movie clip to be deleted, but nothing happens!
Code:
this.attachMovie("square", "square_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
square_mc.duplicateMovieClip("square_mc2", this.getNextHighestDepth(),
{_x:50}) var listener:Object = new Object;[code].............
If I double click on the published SWF file (thus opening it with the FlashPlayer 10 executable), the video plays correctly. Nonetheless, if I double click on the published HTML file, there isn't any video played at all. This doesn't happen if I put the files on a webserver, the video plays correctly on the browser.I checked the "source" property of the component, which doesn't have any absolut path (the video file resides on the same folder as the FLA/SWF folder, so the "source" property only has the FLV filename).
View 3 Replies- Flash CS4 Professional Version 10.0.2, working in Actionscript 2
- I work with Mac OSX 6.4
I implemented a FLVPlayback component in a Flash file I've published on my website, so it could load an external movie without having to put it in the SWF itself. It works fine when using the SWF offline, but when I put it online it never runs on the first go. I either have to restart the browser, or when that doesn't work I'll have to wait for a few hours before it magically does what it's supposed to do.This goes for both Safari and Firefox on my Mac, and while using Firefox on a PC (I haven't tested different scenario's yet). Once it works, it'll always work on that particular computer in that particular browser. At first I thought the browser didn't allow internet access to the SWF (the FLV that it uses are hosted on a different site), but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Maybe it's a cache issue, but I haven't been able to prove that either.URL..I kept the actionscript at a minimum. When the play button is pressed, it simply goes to the next frame where the FLVPlayback component is ready to launch the content. As you can see on my website there is a visual loader when you select the play button, but this is just an endlessly repeating movie clip that doesn't do anything accept give the viewer the idea that something's loading.
I have read that the FLVPlayback component has been optimized for the iPad, but I can't get it to work at all.I had it working, albeit poorly, in CS5.But the same app, published with CD5.5, just shows a flickering FLV icon instead of video.
View 1 RepliesI'm using the standard flvplayback component v.2.5.0.26
When I load a flv file in it, all UI buttons and buffering work correctly with the exception of the seekbar - when I drag the seekbar handle forward, the video doesn't go to that position, after I release the handle, it jumps back to the beginning of the video and it keeps playing from there
Does anyone know if it happens because of the specific flv file or I need to add some AS3 code to the seekbar to make it work?

We (AS3 coders) all know that one of the great things about the AS3 event model is that handlers are scoped to their containing objects. I'm writing an EventDispatcher for JavaScript, and trying to achieve the same effect.My question could be answered in a couple different ways:A: How does ActionScript 3 set scope within an event handler to the handler's container object, rather than to the event handler's caller (the IEventDispatcher on whom dispatchEvent() was invoked)?

I'm using a progress bar component in a movie clip and this progress bar works loading an external movie clip. However, once the external clip is loaded, it seems the "complete" event is not registering with the object listener. This is what I have:
ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("FOB", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
var progressBarListener:Object = new Object();[code].......
The code a little more complicated than this in that there is an array that stores some information and a setInterval command that calls the loadContent function loading each external movie clip. I can past the entire code if necessary.Also the progress bar component is set up as thus: in the main movie (root) there is a movie clip called progressBar. Within progressBar the component resides with a variant name of PB.For some reason, when the external clip is finished loaded, the progressBarListener doesn't seem to be called.
I'm trying to find a way that I can control how a flash movie handles the click event from the HTML page outside the movie.
I run a website where we have advertising space for Flash Ads provided by our customers which, when clicked, open their own website in a new browser window (i.e. target='_blank') - however this causes us a few issues:
1.) We want to track the success of their ads, so we give them a custom URL that their ad should link to instead of linking directly to their site. This URL logs the click before redirecting the browser to the customer's website.
2.) Often the flash files we get use GetUrl() which seams to trigger the popup blockers in IE 7 & 8.
These two points mean we have to provide them with the custom URL for them to include in their flash ad, and/or tell them how to set up the movie to handle the clicks in a way that doesn't trigger the IE popup blocker, and this doesn't make it as seamless as it should be to place an ad on our site.
So, what I'm trying to do is find a way that I can reference the Flash movie object with JavaScript (or similar), and set the click event to open up a specified URL - so if the customer's flash movie doesn't have the right URL set in it, or is triggering IE's popup blocker it doesn't matter because when we display it, we can modify the event handler to use the correct URL and to open up their website without tripping any popup blockers.
