I had a website that worked fine...there was a flash show that used a variable to the directory to pull images. We had about 12 all together one the website. IT worked great and all of a sudden it no longer loads the file.
View 2 RepliesHow would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);

I am an interactive design student working on a flash portfiolio and . I can't figure out how to load a game I made in flash into my porfolio so that it loads after clicking on a button, becomes playable, then have a button to leave the game and go back to my portfolio. I'm working in Actionscript 2.0 because that's all my teachers will show me and I have minimal actionscript knowledge.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set up a .flv file that will have buttons for two different pieces of sound.I've been able to get the first piece to load and to play and stop, but when I try to load the second piece, I trip up.I'm still a novice, but do think I understand the basic problem -- Actionscript can't distinguish between one sound request and another. The question is, how to fix this and get actionscript to understand that I'm trying to load and play two different sounds associated with two different buttons?I get error codes such as "1151: A conflict exists with definition s in namespace internal." , "duplicate function" problems and "duplicate variable" warnings. I've seen some discussion on this site of a recyclable sound object. I think I'm asking a similar question, but although the person who posed that question also posted a solution, I haven't been able to make it work.Here's the code:
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.load(new URLRequest("http://www.website.com/Water.mp3"));
wellsplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSound);

I need to loading a PNG file from a server into my flash project. What I want to do it be able to call a PHP page and send it a variable which I can do. Then I want to access a db and get a path for the image, I can do this too. What I'm not sure about is what to do then. What I need to happen is the PHP to return the PNG to flash somehow. Can I just add the PNG to the php page and use a loader somehow? I've been searching around google but most tutorials seem to be getting PNGs out.
View 3 RepliesI've tried loading a .flv-file into my Flash, and it actually works properly. I use the following actionscript:
Code:
var videoConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
videoConnection.connect(null);
var videoStream:NetStream = new NetStream(videoConnection);
var video:Video = new Video(700, 480);
addChild(video);
video.attachNetStream(videoStream);
videoStream.play("shine_introduction.flv");
and when I test, the .flv is loaded and all is honky Dory.
except...
I get the following error in my trace-window:
Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetStream was unable to invoke callback onMetaData. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property onMetaData not found on flash.net.NetStream and there is no default value.

I have a template that have some buttons in the header. I add one button because my client needs one more section in the SWF. When the movie loads the behave of the intro is to load the first button running from flag fotogram "s1", but it's not working properly. The button get's stuck and it's not behaving like it should. When I rollOver or rollOut is not doing what it should do. Why is happening this? I'm loading another swf with loadMovie but it's _lockroot = true. I tried not loading that flash but the button is still not working fine.

View 3 RepliesI currently have a photography website that calls a javascript file from the html page. there are nine galleries of photos and this javascript file loads all the images as soon as the viewer lands on the page where they can select the galleries.
my problem:
the photos load in order from top galleries in the list to bottom, which fits most viewers' patterns (from analytics). however, if a viewer clicks a bottom gallery and wants to see a photo, they have to wait till all prior photos are done loading.
here is the url [URL]
instead, what I would like to happen is that whenever the user clicks a gallery, the swf calls for a javascript file to load the images of just that gallery. right now I have a few on(release) commands.
how to call a javascript file from a flash swf?
i want the .SWF file to be opened but not donwloaded until a button is pressed but don't know ho to do that..on frame 1 i have an object (movieclip) that consists of a logo with a blur effect.. after 1-2 seconds the blur effect goes away and you can see the logo. the logo itself is a button that send's the user to the next frame in the main scene.on frame 2 of the main scene i have a preloader that shows the percentage of the loaded page and a progress bar .. everything works great
the problem is that when you open the swf it starts downloading the hole flash site and when you press enter the site is already loaded and you can't see the progress bar of the preloader..i want only the 1 frame of the main scene to be loded, then i want i to stop loading (downloading) the SWF file until enter is pressed.when enter is pressed i want the flash site to be loaded and so you can see the preloader in action..can i put some code on the action layer on the 1 frame that stops loading the movie (the first frame is loaded and the blur effect of the logo plays).and another code on the second frame (where the preloader is visible) that starts the donwloading again?
My boss made a quiz for the Flash movie I'm doing, using the Articulate Quizmaker software, and he saved it as a swf file. It plays great in Flash Player and through Flash. Now, I'm trying to use my main Flash file to call the quiz swf file and play it at the end of my movie. The main Flash file is set up as a swf array, calling the different swf files I want it to play in order. I want that quiz swf file to play at the end.
However, when I do that and I publish the file, I just get a blank screen when it tries to load the quiz swf file and a bunch of code in Flash that pops up. What's going on? How can I load the quiz swf file into my Flash movie?
I am currently creating a mockup website for a school project and i had the actionscript for the pages all worked out which functioned by changing the visible on/off properties as the buttons were pressed (the home page and it's animations would be able to be seen behind the information page so doing the pages on layers is the only way i can think of doing it)The problem with the way i have coded the webpage however is that even when the pages are invisible they're infront of the home page meaning that aspects which i wanted to add such as a hover over animation don't work as the hover over isn't registered (the nav bar is a seperate layer and above all the others) What my question was, was
a) would it (in your opinion) be better to make it so that the movie clips of the pages were loaded from the library when the buttons were pressed or to make the layers re arrange themselved when the buttons were pressed thus showing the page that i want to show. and b) how would i be able to achieve this? i work on Adobe flash cs4 with actionscript three and am favouring the first option (loading the page from the library)

View 1 RepliesI am currently wondering if it is possible to load a swf that is sitting on another file server. I.e. I currently have a custom play bar swf which is embedded on a website (behind the company's firewall) which then loads swf content (currently in the same folder on the website server). The problem I have is bandwidth between remote sites is limited and streaming the swf content from the website server is not an option, however we do have a DFS set up to push all the swf content out to local file servers.
I have tried using a file:// path which works if you create a windows projector file however it doesn't work when embedded onto a website as it seems to try to access via http which the file servers are not set up for. So is it possible to get the play bar swf to load the swf content sat on a remote file server?
I have two FLA files, call them MAP.fla and ANI.fla, that I have to merge. One way I tried was to load the ANI.swf in MAP.swf during runtime using the normal way of doing it, using Loader and URLRequest. However, when I try to run it, flash detects errors about methods I have included in ANI.swf.
I do know that the Loader and URLRequest method of doing it works because I tried using it with a different SWF file with simpler content.
P.S. ANI.swf contains methods, instances with classes of their own and timer events. If Loader cannot work on my SWF, is there any other way of carefully doing this without affecing my FLAs?
Below is the error message i am getting.
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at stageRotation/stageRotation::pause()

I don't know why the swf file won't work in the flash I used loader to put the swf file into the stage but it doesn't do it.I plays fine when I just open the swf file in Flash Pro CS-4 but when I put it into a flash, it doesn't work.

I'm trying to implement a feature in my Flash app that lets a user choose a file of a certain type (in this case it's a simple text file with a special extension) on their computer to the application and then use the data from the file within the application. I know this is possible with Flash 10 with the addition of the load method in FileReference, but, unfortunately, Flash 9 doesn't have that.
Is there any way to get Flash 9 to do this without having to resort to uploading to a server and then downloading from there?
(For anyone wondering why I'm so concerned with Flash 9, the simple answer is that my users might not be the most computer-savvy people, so we need to be as backward-compatible as possible.)
how can I load a text file in flash and at the same time load a css file
