You know how some flash sites have navigation buttons and everytime you put your mouse over the other navigation button there is a line or an "element" that comes and follows the mouse and stays under that navigation options?
View 6 Repliesim making my portfolio in flash. And the designing goes oke etc, but now im at the programming part, and thats not what im good at.[URL] If you mouse your cursor over the most right (black) button you see "contact" fading in, thats oke, and when you click on it a big orange shape slides in, some text is needed to put in here. But! When you move the mouse of the button the orange shape slides back.
So my question is, how can I make the orange shape stay while the mouse is of the button? And when the mouse moves out of the contact button and over another it should fade in that name to, (like it does now).
How do i create a basic duplicating mosue trailer?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to modify a mouse trailer I've found somewhere else so that it only reacts within a specific area on the flash page - say an area 780x549 on a 1024x700 flash file.Here is the code I am starting with - The file is written in AS2 for Flash 8+
//mouseTrailer
i=0
onMouseMove = function () {
var cur_x = _xmouse;
[code]...
how to create a mouse trailer in AS2 that gives the effect of the mouse "drawing on the screen", and fading out after a short period of time?
View 9 Repliesfound nice dynamic mouse traile which i'd like to use on my flash banner. I can get rid of mouse actions but how do make random sparkles move from left side of banner to the right side? Here is mouse trailer code:

Recently I was using the mouse trailer script on the site but cannot figure out how to change the color of the text from black to white. I tried putting in letterformat.color = "FFFFFF"; but it didn't work.
Here is the script for the mouse trailer.
Text = "Kirupa has the best site on the net!!!";
letters = Text.split("");
letterformat = new TextFormat();

Currently I'm accepting payments from my website via PayPal. As it stands the user is redirected to PayPal where they can complete the purchase. I think I might have a better conversion rate if customers can enter there credit/debit details directly onto my website. So the question is how could I integrate a PayPal payment into my Flash ?
View 1 RepliesI'm running into an issue with Uploadify. I have put Uploadify into my app and all works fine in dev (using the VS web server). All worked fine and checked until I deployed the app into my test environment which uses Integrated Windows Authentication. When I actually go to upload the file, the browser brings up a login prompt. At this point, even if you type in the correct username and password, the request seems not to complete and even if you tell the browser to remember the password it still brings up the login prompt.
When this started to occur, I decided to spin up Fiddler and see what was going on. But guess what, when ever Fiddler is running the issue doesn't occur. Unfortunately I can't make running Fiddler a reuqierment for running the app. I know there are some issues with Uploadify/flash when using forms authentication but I didn't think they carried across to Integrated Windows Authentication.
I developed something in flex. It works great on FF and Safari. But on IE the "swf area" remains blank until mouse moves over it. I am embedding it like that:

<param value="example.swf" name="movie"/>
<param value="high" name="quality"/>

View 1 RepliesI found this wonderful little game on Newgrounds which somehow allows the user to scroll the mouse wheel without scrolling the HTML page.URL...Does anyone know how they've done this? I know its not a javascript solution because while the game is loading, you can scroll up and down the HTML page (even if your mouse focus is set to the SWF). But as soon as the game starts and initiates, the mouse wheel only affects the SWF and not the HTML.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash movie that is embedded in an HTML page that has a DIV in a layer over the top of the movie. The Flash movie scrolls based on the mouse position over the movie. The client wants the scrolling to stop when the mouse is over the DIV. I've tried using the mouseLeave event, but that is not triggered by the DIV.
Is there a way that the Flash movie can detect when the mouse is over the DIV?[code]...
I have an HTML document with a Flash object and an absolutely positioned HTML element above it. If I set the HTML element's opacity CSS property to any value less than 1, the Flash object (that is actually covered) receives mouse events. This problem cannot be reproduced with pure HTML elements. Furthermore, Flash only receives hover events, so I cannot click below the layer.I put a demonstration of the problem online.I get this behavior in Firefox 3.6, Safari 4.0 and Chrome 5.0 in both Mac and Windows. Flash plugin version 10 is installed.Is it a bug or the the normal and expected behavior? If the latter, then how can I prevent Flash receiving events when it is covered with a translucent layer?

I am trying to create an interactive US map (unless one is already out there), that would show some data about the state a user would hover over. Then drill down once the user clicks on the State to see cities, where the user would see City-specific data when hovering over a city... etc.BTW. This data is not static... it is based on queries from a DBase (i.e. MS Access). So, depending on what's happening in that region, the data would be entered in the DBase and the Map would reflect those changes...
View 4 RepliesRight now I'm designing an application for smartphones and tablet. What I am interested to know is whether I can integrate specific functions. These app would include:
1 The automatic screen rotation 2 Scroll page (in particular pages I will have a list of which need scrolling)3 will have many pages and would require a small search engine
You can insert these three functions?
I'm relatively new to flex, and I'm developing a web app that needs to plot relatively large data sets (e.g. 20,000 pts divided among 8 separate curves) in a line chart. Flex built-in chart components render too slowly.Would javascript line chart render faster than Flex line chart? If so, is it possible to use a javascript-based charting solution instead of flex component, within the Flex application? Or, is this an impractical (or crazy) idea? Anyone doing this out there? How simple or complex is it?I'm hoping it's relatively easy to integrate a pre-developed solution like EST JS, HighCharts, etc. to simplify development.
View 1 Repliesi am loading in 5 PNGs via MovieClipLoader, and putting them ontop of a circle. Then when i press a button i want the images to fade sequentially and each circle to fade to 20%,40%,60%,80%,100% sequentially and have got the following code to do that. (Using Zigos tween engine):
[Code]...
This is just a small part of a bigger site and when tested by itself works just as expected, however when i try to put this code into the rest of the code, the images and circles fade to the desired amount but when it is reached they immediately pop back to 100 and i cannot see why. I have looked at all the setIntervals but they seem to all have stopped at that point.
I started learning Flash when Flash MX came out. I recently got back into it, using Flash 8 now. So the Tween class was fairly new and exciting to me, and I've been using it recently.It's quick and easy, and what I like most about it is the onMotionFinished function. Very handy.
However, I've been using it for single items, and recently I wrote a little function where some words drop down, and when they arrive at their random destination they check each other for distance, 12 of them. If one's proximity is too close to another, it loads up the tween function again and finds another random destination, and does so until it finds a space far enough from it's siblings.
Now when using the built in Tween class, it gets absolutely overloaded and crashes my Core Duo if all the words don't find spaces soon, and have to do multiple checks.I was very, very surprised, it didn't seem like anything that hardcore, that should crash my computer.
So I then used a basic, lightweight tween that I wrote, and voila - no problem at all. Didn't even come close to crashing, in fact the CPU usage was fairly low.So im summary - it's pretty good and handy for tweening single objects, but if you have something more complex in mind it's absolutely useless.My question is why though? I mean they write the program, sure they could have engineered the tween class better and made it more efficient and less of a CPU hog?
I have a flex app that allows the user to upload a file.The flex side uses the FileReference.upload method that goes to an .aspx page that handles the upload. It works only intermittently when I have IIS set to integrated windows authentication.That said, for testing purposes,I wrote a separate aspx page that does a file upload and this always works.I'd like to leverage the file import,though, within the nice looking flex app and not kick off a new webpage for a file upload.In looking at the IIS logs I have a hypothesis as to what's happening, and want to know if someone has full understanding as to why it may only intermittently work and can confirm or deny this: Flex' FileReference upload guts does whatever it does on the client then initiates a POST request to my .aspx page.On the times it failes, the IIS logs state that IE didn't pass the credentials so denies the request then sends a 401 response.
I don't get this 401 response on the flex side even though I'm listening for HTTP status codes (flash bug?).A new request is somehow immediately made to perform the upload again (it's not my code). I'm inferring this by looking at the IIS lgos which shows a second POST right after the previous one, only this time the user credentials are sent through, but the kicker is that the file the user uploaded is not uploaded this time. I infer this by the fact that the IIS logs show 0 bytes are posted, whereas the previous 401 request show a lot of bytes are POSTed.On the times it does work, what happens is that the first request for the HTTP POST the FileReference makes so happens to send the windows credentials along, so the client is not challenged.
We are trying to install our Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server. The problem we are facing is that Apache which comes with FMS is set to be run from /home/Apache2.2.21_x64 for some odd reason. Even though we install whole FMS to /opt/adobe/fms folder Apache still has /home/Apache2.2.21_x64 everywhere compilled in. Is there a way to change Apache root folder?
