I have found solution for my previous problem:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.hitz = 0;
this._alpha = 0;
[Code]....
but now I have a new one! After fifth click browser keeps opening hundreds of new tabs! I think it's because flash keeps playing movie. There must be some kind of loop and every loop flash opens new tab. I tried to add stop(); in few different places but still no result.
I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
on(release) {
_root.myForm.formNameField.txt = ""
_root.myForm.formEmailField.txt = ""[code].....
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.
I'm noticing some unexpected behavior. Some time in the last few months, a change in either Firefox, the Flash player, or both, has made it so that Flash movies that are in inactive browser tabs no longer execute in real time. They appear to still execute, but only in bursts, and not in a predictable way. This is a problem because I develop a Flash-based (Actionscript 2.0, Flash CS3) multiplayer game that maintains a network connection and allows players to chat, etc.

I'm building an online app which opens a SharedObject at its onset to do various things, one being remember whether a user has performed a certain action(vote) before because he/she is only permitted to perform this action once. This is all working fine, until our users began opening a new tab before voting.
If the user opens a new tab, and open the same application, this app(tab 2) needs to know if subsequently the user votes in tab 1. I thought this would be straightforward to resolve. However - for some reason, the sharedObject in tab 2 does not seem to update with updates in tab 1... if you were to refresh tab 2, it would have the updates, but while it is open, the data in the sharedobject does not seem to update.
It all works fine in general, the only time it doesn't is when there are two instances of a flash object open at the same time using the shared object. Maybe this is expected behaviour, and two flash objects can not use the same local sharedObject? It's hard to find this info in the livedocs.
This is the sort of code I am using to manage the SharedObject: (I know the first question anyone will have is, are you the flushing the object after setting your variable, the answer is yes!)
// i call this function at the beginning of the app
public function init(sharedObjectName:String):void
{
sharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(sharedObjectName,"/");

It opens a new page rather than in the same browser.
I have a standalone Flash projector running off CD. Currently, I use
getURL("http:url....);
to open the page on default browser. Only problem is the browser window is opening at the size it was last used. I like to see it opens full screen.
In my application the browser window connect with long polling(comet) with the server. If the user open several browser tabs, only one of them(called the master) communicate with the server and serves as a proxy for the other tabs. I want to use flash localConnection to exchange data between the tabs. What happens when a user closes the master tab that holds the comet session? I can use javascript with the unload event to inform the other tabs that the master tab is closing and then close the localConnection but the unload event is unreliable. I can use polling to monitor the master tab connection object but it sound dirty.
When the master is closed one of the other tabs need to become the master. How do I make sure only one of them tries to become the master? If a user close the tab without flash being able to close the localConnection, will it cause a memory leak?

View 2 Repliesmy organization is in the process of building a touchscreen interactive kiosk. We've designed a flash application to run on the kiosk to display information about our business, our publications, etc. We'd also like to be able to access our website through the flash application. We're having trouble figuring out how to do that effectively. The best we can do is to have the application launch Internet Explorer in a seperate window. This isn't so bad if we run IE in kiosk mode, however it becomes difficult/impossible to navigate back to the flash application (or to close the browser) without a mouse and keyboard (which users won't have access to).Wondering if there's a way to open or access a browser inside of the actual flash application, so users can access the flash menu, home buttons, etc and easily navigate back to the information contained in the rest of the flash application.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
I modified it to try both of these:
navigateToURL(request, '_self');
navigateToURL(request);
I have a flash form with input text fields. I am sending the data to a 3rd party server. I can send the information via getURL but I want to send the data without opening a browser window so I am utilizing sendAndLoad. It works great locally but not through a browser (tested in IE and Firefox). I have verified that all the variables and urls are in the correct case, I have tried both Post and Get, I have tried network and local..
Here is the file - click on the second image...[URL]
Here is the code...
on (release) {
if (first_name.text.length == 0) {
error.text = "** First Name Required **";
} else if (last_name.text.length == 0) {
error.text = "** Last Name Required **";

I am just starting to learn flash/actionscript 3 and decided to code up a simple particle simulator.The very initial design simply involves filling the screen with a buncha particles which scatter away from the cursor if you were to click.This works, but is a bit unresponsive. I am using graphics.drawCircle() to draw the particles, and each particle is inherited from Sprite.
Listener for mouseclick event:
private function mouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("click");
var now:Date = new Date();
trace("Before: "+now.getTime());

How should I make this more efficient? I plan on doing collision detection and other physics interactions later, and this is already a bit slow even without the hefty number crunching code I intend to add later.
I have an .exe in fullscreen mode with different links. If I click on one link, the browser opens up in front of the .exe and shows the link. but if I leave the browser open and go to the .exe and click on another link, this link will be open on a new tab, and the browser wont be brought back in fornt of the .exe. so the user wont know that the link has been open.

View 3 RepliesOk, basically so when you click my movieclip button called "Email" it opens ur browser, and emails the message you put in the input box called "email_text", with the title you put in the input box called "email_title".I know php, and html, and other languages, is there a way to use PHP in flash? or have the php in a document and call a function in that php document and email it?
IE
function phpemail(msg, title)
{
mailto(msg, title)
}
etc...
thats not proper php code, but an example and in flash open that php file and call it?
I followed this tutorial [URL] put the proper actions on my button, the button calls the window in a blank page but it does not have the settings in the javascript no scroll, no resize and a preset window size.
The tut is from Flash 5 and that was before the "ACruncontent" file flash uses now in cs3. window opening the way I need it is critical for a client.
I am trying to make a button to execute exe files. so I made a windows projector file and its working fine. But the problem is, i need this to happend when working in browser. how to embed the exe files in browser or atleast in another swf file, so that i can call .exe in browser itself.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to modify this tutorial on exporting the flash movie to a jpg. On the completion of the flash file, using AS2, there is this method:
Code:
// copy is complete, send the result LoadVars to PHP
listener.onComplete = function(target:MovieClip, load_var:LoadVars){
loader.label = "sending to php..."
[code]....
so i mean...I am using sendAndLoad as appropriately right? then why does my flash movie STILL open a new window (pixels.php) after the script gets to this point? I am also open to new methods of redirecting, assume i cant stop pixels.php from opening, how do I close the current window, so at least only 1 window will be open to the user?

I'm using getURL to send a string to a 4D webserver for tracking purposes. I'm using "_self" for the window and not using GET or Post and the string is the full http address including the path pointing to the 4d app with the variable appended to the string in XML format...the send works and is recorded by the 4d server..but a browser window opens which is don't want (it's unneeded and interrupts the flash)..is there a way to send with getURL without invoking a browser?

By reliable, I mean something that works across different browsers and on both PCs and Macs.I've seen numerous threads on this subject, and I've read the Adobe tech note, and it seems there is no reliable way.How in the world can Adobe ask people to use Flash and not provide a reliable way to give the stage focus on startup.
