ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Movie Keeps Loading & Replaying At The Same Time?
Sep 4, 2010
I recently downloaded a template for Flash that didn't have any type of video included. I decided to include video in my completed project and for the last two months (working in CS5), I have tried to get assistance in making it work correctly...even contacting the company who MADE the template and they told me they couldn't assist because I changed the entire template & I guess they didn't want to figure it out.Here's my problem and if this has already been answered, maybe someone can just post the link directly and I'll follow it.hen the page opens up, the video starts automatically and seems to work fine and then another instance and another begin to play but not the video, just the audio. I have two videos in my movie and both do this.
I'm fairly experienced with AS2 and not very with AS3. I've run into a problem with sounds repeating and have set up some simple test files. Yes I'm sure they could be set up in a smarter way, what I'm curious about is why the AS3 behavior is different from AS2.
I'll explain what I've got:
A file with five frames. Nothing on frames 1-4. On frame 5 there is a stop() action, and a movieclip with a sound embedded into it set to "Stream". There is also a button that triggers a gotoAndPlay(1) event when clicked.
In AS2, clicking the button stops the sound (because the clip doesn't exist on frames 1-4), replays the .swf and on frame 5 starts the sound over.
In AS3, the .swf replays, but the sound continues to play (in spite of the clip not being on frames 1-4) and on reaching frame 5, starts playing a second copy of the sound over the first.
as you first get to this website, a neat little :10 swf plays. right now, i have a 'home' and a 'back' button on all the pages linked to a static screenprint of where my neat opening .swf ends.
is there a way to prevent that entire opening flash file from replaying again when visitors hit their own browser's 'back' button from the other pages, and just give them the last frame?
I have two swf file and I load the them at the same time in main.swf. but both the movie get load at different time because of the dissimilar size and the movie which loaded 1st play 1st and the movie which gets loaded 2nd play 2nd. I want the both the movie to complete its loading and play at once. is there is any way?
I have a rotating menu that when clicked rotates and loads in swf movies, OnClick.The problem I seem to be having is that because the swf movies load in on click it seems to be causing the rotation of the menu not to run smooth.Is it possible to get the swf movies to load in once the action of the click has completed its action. some kind of 2 second delay before the movies load in? what happens:you can click or mouse scroll through the menu, when you click, the action repositions the selected Item (ActiveItem) in the center and resizes larger. this works great, is it possible after this action is complete to then load in the swf movies?? URL...you will see at the moment onClick the movies load straight away which makes the rotation not smooth when rotating around.I can't seem to get the mouse scroll to work the same function as the click at the moment also..

to see how the movie runs at the moment this is the link: [URL]

I find it kind of weird that IE8 would render my as3 different than firefox, and that I can't trust the movie player. I'm creating my movie object code using jquery and javascript. When I play the movie in the modal display the first time, it play and renders correctly. On the second time, the play controls dissappear.
I have spend about a 2 days on this, and have isolated it down to this object. It looks like the stage.stagewidth is inconsistent after the 1st time the object loads on a clients browser. Once the file gets cached by IE8 in the temp folder, it seems to change.
So I have replaced the stage.stagewidth with a var that is pased via flash vars, fv_Player_Width, which is 640.
I created an eHoliday card and there is a button at the end of the swf that you can click to replay. It plays fine the first time but automatically replays at the end and there is no music the second time.
Got a piece of code that moves a line of text I'm calling "eeScroller". I'm using this method because timeline and as tweens make the movement herky jerky (when the movement is slow).
What I want to do is reset the _x of eeScroller to 0.9 once it reaches the _x of -889.3
Here's what I got so far:
Code: function movething() { _root.eeScroller.onEnterFrame = function() { if (_root.eeScroller._x>=-889.3) {
[Code].....
how to implement onMotionFinished if that's even the way to do it...
would like to prevent my flash navigation banner from going through the entire animation when someone loads secondary pages. framework is at [URL] at the moment. Basically, want the flash to NOT replay (but still maintain the flashy buttons) when the secondary pages are loaded.... does this need to be done at the button level, or at the top level?
I wrote this with the idea that it would stop my header from replaying a million times for repeat visitors. However it doesn't seem to be working correctly. I need a little direction, has anyone else done something similar to this? Also Isn't there a way to have it expire? like in a week or something?
Code: user = SharedObject.getLocal("user_profile"); if (user.data.name == undefined){
I have a lot of questions about how to optimally load my newly created flash site (very large file size). I have created an entire site in Flash (one swf). It will take quite some time to load on smaller bandwidths, so I am wondering: Is there a way to have the main movie clip load, with the others loading in the background, instead of the user having to wait for the entire site to load.
Also, if I add a preloader to the entire swf, how can I get the flash movie to start before it reaches 100%? If not, is there a way to add preloaders to individual movie clips within the site. If not, how can I quickly break my fla apart and make my movie clips into separate swfs. After this, how do I add preloaders to those? Any general tips to greatly reduce fla or swf file sizes?
I have a piece of working code. I'm loading an XML file full of images to flash and using them in a slideshow. The code works fine, but here's my issue. The first time an image loads, the fade-in time is about half as long as it should be. I've reduced the image resolution and drug out the fade in time so it's not terribly noticable. But I still see it. Once the code has cycled through the entire file of images, it starts over and repeats. At this time, (being the 2nd run through) the images fade in exactly how they're supposed to. I'm guessing that once the images have been loaded in the cache, there is no download time etc. [URL].
Here's the code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import fl.transitions.TweenEvent; var myTween:Tween; var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("imageData.xml"); [Code] .....
I have created real-time data loading flash file. I'm loading realtime data in dynamic text filed using variable. From JavaScript, I'm pushing the data into those dynamic text fields with 10 seconds interval.
Now I want to animate the dynamic text fields when the new data load into the text filed.
i have a flash image viewer about 260kb large, it includes 3 images inside the swf itself which im going to switch dynamically, each images is actually a holed out (masked) png so i can overlay that image with another image which i dynamically loaded using loadClip()
so what i have here is a movieclip in the stage that contain a layer of the internal png with another mc to load an external image sandwiched below the previous
i searched the forum to see if i can find anything about loading the dynamic image together with the actuall flash files but it appears i failed to find one...
i would like the dynamic images is loaded together with the flash itself
I have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?
I am having an issue with my recently created flash site. I have loaded and tested this site on many different computers. There is a preloader which shows percentage of site loaded and bytes loaded. As far as I am concerned everything works great. When the owner of the company I designed the site for goes to check out things he gets an infinite load percentage and the site never shows up, only the preloader screen with an "infinite" percentage. The only difference between his setup and mine is he uses AOL online.?
I have a game built and I would like to reduce the loading time to the minimum possible.One of my ideas is to load the essential assets and some lower quality images the first time, leaving the higher quality images and some of the functionality out at first (for instance things like buttons that change the background color), and once the player enters the game, the rest of the functionality and its assets (images and sounds) will be loading in the background using the Loader class.So once the non-essential assets and the high quality images have loaded they will fade in and substitue the lower quality assets in the most subtle way possible.
Also... Would it be better to have various instances of a "Loader" class and try to load everything at once, or load stuff in order with a single instance of the "loader" class listening to the Event.COMPLETE event ?
I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?
i was creating my portfolio using xml gallery script from this site. the thing is that it loads one picture at a the with a preloader between each load. is there a way to load the first image and keep loading the rest so there will be only one loading time? here is my action script:
I created a "movie" that is basically just several sentances fading in and out. I'd like it to stop eventually, so it's not annoying. I know with animated gifs you can tell it to "play" 5 times (or however many times you want). Is there a way to do this in Flash? Or would it be something I set on my html page?
i call a flash script from another flash script with the following code:
[Code]...
i need to change it so that it will call a different movie clip each time the clip is viewed, using the time (so that the movieclip will be a new one every time a user refreshes the page or sees the flash again).
Is it possible to request some data in a Flash movie from PHP at run-time? Maybe my real-world implementation can clarify some things:
I use a Flash movie to store a Local Shared Object (because for some reason I need LSO's instead or regular PHP cookies). Now, when I load up a PHP file I want to somehow retrieve the data from the LSO at runtime, assign it to some variables, and use the variables through the rest of the script.
I just exported a flash project to create a Quicktime Movie and there are artifacts in the Quick Time Movie which do NOT exist in the flash project or the SWF file. Would anyone be able to explain why the ghosting is appearing in the movie file?
I have created an animation in Flash which is 2mins long at 25fps, so 3000 in frame length. However when I export it as either a swf or a mov it plays for 6mins! The frame rate is definetely 25fps in Quicktime export settings also but still it doesn't play for the correct duration? The Quicktime movie says 6mins also desptire the fps matching.
It feels like it's been ages since I've worked in Action Script (dissapointingly the demand just isn't there for me) and I'm really, really rusty.
I'm working on a Flash banner, and one particular part has 5 movie clips. I want each movie clip to fire off at separate intervals(i set it at 300 miliseconds per clip)
Here is the code I have written that works for two clips:
Code: //Animate each icon var timer:Timer = new Timer(300, 1);//create the timer timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, doNextTween); timer.start();
Is it possible (in AS2 or AS3) to have a button that starts a video as well as an MC at the same time? The idea being that the video will play alongside a movieclip that contains animated quotes from the dialog of the video, so syncing would be critical to.
On the new site we are working on, it has Flash and HTML. The problem is when you click on the navigation buttons(which are flash) they should load a new external movie and open the new HTML page at the top. When you publish the file and click on the buttons, the HTML page loads, but flash seems to reload and play the same external movie the whole time. Here is the code I used:
