ActionScript 2.0 :: Force Browser To Show First Frame While Loading Others
Apr 17, 2006
I made a flash movie and I put a preloade in the first frame with the appropriate actionscript codes:
ifFrameLoaded("146"){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
I put the swf file on the server and tried to open it through internet to see how the preloader works, but the browser did not show the flash file at all before loading all frames! How I can force the browser to show the first frame "that contains the preloader movie" while loading other frames?

I make a swf for my site that includes dynamicly loading thumbnails from an xml file. Unfotunatly the browser ( IE and FF are what i have tried so far ) just takes the xml file from the clients browser cache even if i have changed the xml file on the server. So the only way my visitors will see my updated content, is if they clear their cache every time before they visit my site. ( even a ctrl-f5 does not seem to do the trick )
is there a function or something i can call to force the swf to re-download the xml file every time? (is really small, less that a kilobyte or two im sure.)

I have made a preloader that is in the same swf as my main Movie.I went and set all my linked movieclips to *not* export in the first frame.However, I seem to still have quite a bit loading in my first frame (64kB) and I can't quite figure out what it is? The only movieclips I have set to export in my first frame is my preloader movieclips ("container" and "preload bar") both of which are simple shapes I made in flash.

Each page is on a separate frame, link/button actionscript consists of gotoAndPlay(x), etc.
I have one product page that has enough content to where you have to scroll down in the browser window to reach the list of products. Each product image is a link to a more detailed description page/frame. My problem is this: when I scroll down in the browser window and click on one of the product links, the product details page loads, but I am still halfway down the page in the browser. I then have to scroll up to view the content. If you need to see what I'm talking about, go to villajerada dot com, click on Olive Oil, scroll down and try out one of the product links.
I've tried several approaches to resolving this, listed below:
1. External Interface Call:
(In Flash)
//ExternalInterface.call("scrollTop()");
//var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");
(In the html document)
[Code].....
Results: No matter what I do with this option, my browser always opens a new tab. I'm trying to build a site that will work with everyone's browser, regardless of their settings, so changing my own personal settings to resolve this isn't a solution. All I know is that I've tried several versions of it after reading other forum posts. Ideally, I wish that there was a way to navigate to a URL that ends up being a null object at the top of the page.

I have tried and tried but i cannot get a number to force show 2 decimal places.I have lots of different buttons and selection boxes that output a different value for 'sizePrice' and 'effectPrize'. An example can be seen below:
Code:
if (sizeSelectionBox.value=="size1") {
sizePrice=67.20;
calcTotalPrice();
[code]...
I need totalCost to always show 2 decimal places so if it is 60 it needs to say 60.00, if it is 67.2 it needs to say 67.20

I'm using an iFrame in a Flex 3 project. The problem is that if the user opens my site in a small browser window, they don't get scrollbars. How can I solve this problem? Is there a way to force the browser to put up scrollbars?
If I set the main app to horizontalScrollPolicy="on" verticalScrollPolicy="on" or to "auto", then as you scroll down, the iFrame is stuck to the top of the browser window and obscures the content.
In the main app:

I updated the flash library XML/SWF (chart library) to the latest version on my web application but the users still see the charts with the old library which is saved in there browser cache.How can I force the browsers of my users to download the latest version of the SWF files.I can't add a parameter at the end of the SWF file like : charts.swf?v=1234.
If I do that I get an error because the chart library load dynamically other SWF files of the library. The charts.swf file will be the new version but the other files will still be from the older version and I will get an error...

Is there way to get the browser to always load any swf files before everything else on a page (exept the external css and swfobject.js). Using Firebug's Net statistics I can see the swf files generally load last.
We have all our external js files inserted at the bottom of the page to help loading times.

Is there any way to make a full browser swf that, at a certain point, stops scaling to the stage and allows the browser to use it's native scrollbars? For example, say my flash site has a top bar (it's y is always 0) and a bottom bar (it's y might be stageHeight - 15). Is there any way to tell the movie to stop scaling if the bottom bar's y is less than say 300, and from that point have the browser display it's scrollbars allowing you to scroll the content?

Question: I have an swf that is 1024x1600 and is embedded in an html doc. I have content on the bottom of this swf that when clicked should force the browser to jump back to the top of the html doc containing the swf. This is simple to do with anchors and links in html, but is it possible with AS3?

I would like to force a pdf to be saved to disc rather than opening in a browser window? I am actually executing the command in flash in a button instance like this
on (release) {
getURL("http://website.com/pdfs/pdf_document.pdf", "_blank", "GET");
}
So how can I do this so it gives the pop up window of save to disc option?
This may be an ASP.NET issue too?

I remember doing this years ago, but can't remember if it was with SWFObject. Anyone herd of this before? I guess it would basicly disable SWFObject from switching the altContent for the SWF. I though it was something like: [URL] But can't remember the real one (if it exists).

I use Actionscript 3 TCP sockets to connect with Javascript websockets. Sending data is primarily from the websocket to the AS socket.On Mac OS X, no problem. On Windows however, successive TCP messages seem to queue up somewhere.
This causes the ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA event to fire with quite a large time interval, which creates noticeable lag.I used Wireshark to monitor the TCP packets on both OS X and Windows. The difference I see is that on OS X each message comes in it's own packet, while on Windows successive messages are 'concatenated' into one packet.Is this just the way the socket is implemented, or is there any way I can improve on this?
EDIT 1: I found this post on actionscript.org which outlines the same problem
EDIT 2: I found a way to go around the problem. I pad every message with dummy text to increase the frame size. This causes the TCP stack to send every message in it's own frame instead if queuing them. This works, even though it's really, really ugly...
This is the code in the SOCKET_DATA event.
while(this.socket.bytesAvailable) {
var byte:uint = this.socket.readUnsignedByte();
if(byte == 0x00) {
trace("Start byte found. - " + new Date().time);

I'm trying to do a work around for a 9-slice animation problem, [URL] and I'm doing a shape tween within a MC... but when I place the animated movieclip on the stage, it displays the first frame of the animated movieclip, and it would be much more useful for it to display the LAST frame of the animation. I feel like there was some way of choosing the stage-display frame of the movieclip in the past, but can't find any way of doing this in CS5?

I cannot get a simple swf to show up in when uploaded. It is a simple .swf file in a index page. It shows up correctly when I test locally but when I upload I get nothing. I have checked all of the links and the files are in the same directory so no links got broken. Also in Dreamweaver I see all of the files sitting up there on the server. I am posting link and the code to see if anything jumps out that I am just overlooking. Also when I test the same index page with just text on there it uploads and displays correctly but will not recognize the swf file.

For some reason the thumbnails to the left of the rotating images don't show up. They work perfectly on my pc but they don't show up when I view it from the server. It's really bugging me because the thumbnails and large photos are located in the same folder. This is an xml drive photo gallery.[url]...

I have a picture that I want to be my background. So I put it around the stage, but when I test my movie in a web browser, only my stage shows. Is there a way I can get it to all show? I don't really care if my background is cut off, as long as you can see it, because it's a tile sort of picture.

I tried to search for tutorials here at Kirupa but it seems I keep on bumping on a dead end. I have a problem with a video clip I imported to my flash movie. When I am on the editing screen, I can see that there is a TOOL BAR below the movie. But when I publish it, it doesn't show anything at all in the browser. The movie then is not preloaded. And by the way, I placed a preloader at the beginning of the frame but it seems that the movie is not preloaded so it jitters as it plays frame by frame. [URL]
