make a variable readable from other flash movies, on the same website, but just in different frames. For example, if one frame was a menu, and the other frame had a picture of some sort, could i program my movie so that if a user clicks on a button on the menu side, the movie on the other side will display a different picture?
View 5 RepliesI have two flash movies.One has an embedded video.I sped up that movie to 36 fps to make it run quicker.It plays fine.I downloaded a FLA that is a flame effect.It has a 30 fps rate.When I incorporated the flame effect into the movie with the embedded video, it made that movie play at 12 fps.Must be something in the AS?So I decided to make two separate movies and include both on the page.But when I do that, the same thing happens.The 36 fps movie plays at 12 fps.

I have recently launched a site for a client which includes an interactive flash element on the home page but it takes a long time to load (10-30seconds). I have followed advice from others about keeping image small and link movies rather than embed but still slow, the swf file is about 7.9mb which i thought was ok for the size of flash file. Does anyway else know where I have gone wrong whether it be the embedding or some other area.

Ok- so the idea is that when you click a button it plays the movies assigned to the variables gallery & button to the frames mentioned. Then the variables are changed and then when another buttons is clicked it does the same - 'except it doesn't - it does it once then sits there I have to use variables because there's a lot more buttons..but i don't understand why it doesn't work - it seems such a simple and obvious thing to try and do - why is it so HARD???

View 2 RepliesI'm searched adobe and android developers sites, but can't find any details on this. Is it possible to use Flash as a part of my app? E.g. like a widget/GUI element? Or it's integrated in browser only and can't be simple accessible? I know, Adobe AIR apps are supported as standalone .apk. So it must be some API/SDK (from Google) to connect with Flash player. Is there any details, how to program it (more clear: launch swf from my app and interact with it)?

First, I should mention that I haven't used Flash for years and I'm feeling a bit out of my depth.I've created an offline presentation for a client using ActionScript 2, authored with Flash CS3 (to run off a laptop).The presentation has an FLV (currently attached to the stage via the FLVPlayback component) which must play through it's entirety and at the end present 3 questions. Each question will present an answer once clicked. The user will then be presented with a "watch again" button which should restart the FLV from the beginning.
The second time the FLV plays back it should pause at 3 key points and present the user with questions and answers as before. Once the user has dealt with the Q&A's they should see a button to continue and the FLV should continue playing from where it was paused.I'm happy making the various interactive Q&A's, but have no experience of interacting with video. After a brief search in the web "cue points" look like the best tool for the job.
I had embedded .swf file. I want to save screenshots from this. How ever, the author has not given any option to do so.

I've recently gotten myself Flash CS 5.5 and I'm having quite an issue developing applications using the ActionScript frame. Whenever I type inside the AS frame there's major lag. It takes ~1 second for the content to appear after I've typed it using my keyboard. I've got an i7 CPU so there shouldn't be any issues directly related to my CPU's power.

View 2 RepliesOn a webpage there would be multiple swfs. There could be one, there could be 15. It depends on the client.Each instance is the same swf but with different parameters. The swf is a simple toggle button, play/pause.When the page initially loads up, nothing happens.All the swf's default to the pause icon.An ID is passed from the html using flashvars i.e., FlashVars="Playerid=1" in the code, for each instance.When a user clicks on one swf (here is the problem), all the instances need to be listening and if they are not the clicked swf they need to change from play to pause if they were the previously playing swf or if the were in the 'pause' state to do nothing.
I was looking at using localConnection but it seems that a single swf can only listen to multiple swfs but multiple swfs cannot listen to one swf.I need them all to be continually listening for a user interaction (addEventListener.CLICK) and then all acting accordingly.I tried an enter.frame event for every instance to check if they were no longer the chosen track and update accordingly but it didn't work out.I have been playing with sharedObjects, storing the currentID (after being clicked), the previously played swf and whether the status is playing or paused.None of my efforts worked properly.Having re-written the above question many times, It is still a little unclear. I'll try again.
There will be say ten tracks from an album. Next to each track name will be a simple flash button the user can press to hear a 30 second sample. On clicking the icon, if no track is currently playing the icon will change from pause to play and the track will then play. If there IS a track already playing (say track 3) then on clicking say track 1 will stop track 3, change it's icon and then start track 1 and change it's icon from pause to play.The problem is that each swf on the page is exactly the same apart from an ID from flashvars and trackname which will be from an XML file or passed as a parameter when instantiated such as flashvars.
I have a class that has a couple of events after each other:It loads an image, loads another image, fades in a player, and plays a video.Now when the user goes to somewhere else, this instance keeps on doing all it's stuff.. Setting it to null doesn't help..

Basically I have a SWF file, there is a movieclip in this SWF file with instance name "stage" and I can alter the parameters of "_level0.stage" from within this SWF file to change the way it acts. But now, I am making a second SWF file, which loads the first SWF file, and from this new SWF file I want to interact with the same "_level0.stage" variable from the first SWF, does that make sense? This is the AS3 code for the second SWF, I have a movie clip with instance name "LoadSWF" in this SWF.
Code:
var movieLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var movieRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("load.swf");
movieLoader.load(movieRequest);
LoadSWF.addChild(movieLoader);
load.swf is the file which contains movie clip "_level0.stage"
I've tried referencing this movie clip from this code using
"_level0.LoadSWF.stage"
but it doesn't find it?
I'm a newbie in actionscript. I created a world map in flash. The map has regions (Europe, North America, Latin America, etc.). The regions on the map are defined as buttons.
The final flash map will be embedded in an html document (map.html). The idea is that when you click for example the "Europe" button on the flash movie, this will open an html document called Europe.html and will show it underneath the map flash (inside map.html). The "Europe.html" for example contains a list of countries. In this mission I have 2 problems:
1. What script I have to attach to every region button on the flash map so it will call the right html file into the div on the map.html?
2. What script do I have to put inside the html document?
I need to build a simple database (3 elements total) using XML and make the swf interact with it.What I need is an interface that pops out if you've done a better score (better than the 3 saved in the XML).
Then you insert your name, send it with the proper button (or clear the field with the reset one) and then get a new classification in the txt field below dividing the players with their score. To do this, since I wasn't able to do it on my own, I've found a ready-script and this is it:

1. Is there any way to send events from one native window of an application to another native window of the same application? For ex. a login window pops up when the app starts in the main window. Once the login is successful, an event should be posted to the main window, so that it starts displaying other things. Right now, I am posting an event, but it is not reaching the main window (nothing shows up in trace and breakpoint is not hit in the main window).
2. Is there a way for any window to grab focus? For ex. the login window above grabs the focus till the creds are keyed in. I mean, the user should not be able to select the main window at all till this window is active.

View 5 RepliesAlright, is there some way to keep a clip with masked content from reacting to the mouse?'ve got a button clip with a masked image inside (so the image that goes beyond the button's bounds can't be seen), but, when the mouse rolls over the masked-off image area, the button still reacts. I've been looking for a few days now, and I can absolutely not figure out what to do!
View 3 RepliesI have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far
I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
[Code]...
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?
I am creating a calendar and only one part isnt work. That part is the movie (mc_nav). I have the mc_nav movie on each month's stage. The buttons are named correctly since I used normal modes reference thingy to double check the references. I am trying to have it move to the next frame in the movie, or back, or to the 3rd frame etc. The first section (NAVIGATION BUTTON LINKS) works fine. It is just when I try to navigate on the Scene 1 stage, from a movie within a movie, that the trouble arises. Each of the month movies (mc_sep, mc_oct, etc) have mc_nav placed on them. Then the month movies are placed in Scene 1 on each of their respective frames (mc_sep = 4, mc_oct = 5, etc). When testing the movie and I am sent to any month page, the navigation (mc_nav) wont work. The syntax according to the flash debugger is correct. The action script goes all the way through to the last frame (13) and the stop(); command is set to stop the movie at frame 3 (the splash page).

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
