ActionScript 2.0 :: International (We Are Open / Closed) Message
Jun 4, 2004
I would like to display a message in flash "we are open" or "we are closed" based upon time. Naturally I can do this for the users local time on their system, but is it possible to work out if their time is different to UK time (GMT) and display those messages accordingly. After all I don't want a user to see a message "we are open" at 1pm their time - they could be in Japan and it'd be about 4am UK time. Is this possible to work out the time difference on any system?

I have an animated dropdown menu with 7 buttons. Each button slides down it's submenu.They're setup so that they open when you click them, but automatically close when you move the mouse out of the area of the given menu/submenu. If i permitted for more than one submenu to be open at a time, then size of the menu in total would be too big.Ok what I need is that, in plain language, when menu 1 is open - the rest is closed. But the menu 1 will close when you click menu 2, not before. OK, if my explanation was too lame here's the real thing, so you can get the idea of what i want:
we're developing an app that should be able to open specified file with default editor application. (so if it is .doc - it suppose to be opened by MSWord or openOffice)
But I also need to wait until user will close the editor, check if it was changed (by size and date), and upload it to the server.
So the following steps:
1) find def editor
2) open file
3) wait it be closed
4) do smth after that with the file.
now results of my research: -> opening by def editor is simple: file.openWithDefaultApplication();
but there is no way to know that editor is closed (maybe by checking that file is not locked in timer???)
-> i can start the native process and pass file as parameter BUT looks like the code NativeApplication.nativeApplication.getDefaultApplication(file.extension); does not work for any extension :( - it doesnt work for "rtf", "doc" but works for "pdf"... and [file.openWithDefaultApplication()] works fine with any file!
In Flex (Flash Builder 4) I am opening a new window via PopUpManager.addPopUp. I have timer code that runs in my component and I need to stop my timer when that window opens and start the timer again when the window closes.
I figure it's easy enough to stop the timer in the function that opens the window, but how can I start the timer again when the window closes?
Is there a way to tell if there is a pop-up window in front of my component, or if a specific pop-up window is still open via PopUpManager?
I have to be able to cancel and kill a Loader process properly and many times. If I dont do this, it seems that the flash player (at least on mac) eventually crashes as some loader processes are flying about , strangling the CPU.
There doesnt seem to be a straightforward way to know this and just calling a Loader.close causes an error, if the stream is not open.
okay, so obviously there is stuff missing from my code b.c i dont feel like copying it all over. its basically an XML controlled style blog, and i'm trying to keep track of whether an entry is open (0), or closed (1), and those values are being stored in 'myArray'. my question is, why isnt that call to myArray overwriting the existing data? i know i have doen this before (maybe not in this fashion, but i know its possible).
I'm having problems getting the tutorial to work so I decided to look at the source fla. But the Source file won't open on my computer, get the message "failed to open document".
My CS5 flash crashed when I changed the name of the root folder while it was open. Swf is working fine, but .fla file wont open, I get a "Failed to open document" message. This is a disaser because I've lost two days of work. Is there anything that could be done to fix this problem?
I trying to close a message box with a okay button inside its movieclip but i keep getting "1119: Access of possibly undefined property btnOk through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton." error message when testing.Below is my code. anyone please help.
Code: //open message box btnPassport.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, btnPassportClicked); function btnPassportClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]...........
Used the following code in a real life demo. I clicked the button, SaveAs dialog displayed, I chose to say the file in the Documents folder.Went to open the file, and got a message saying it was in use with another process. Restarted my computer, was now able to open the file. However the file is empty. It should have some text that I put in there - how can text vanish from a file? By simple downloading it.
I own and I am trying learn and use the CS3 Master collection which comes with Flash 9. I own and had a website built several (9) years ago which I am trying to update the files, So basiclly, I am trying to make updated changes to my own orginal .swf files and todays Flash program give me the message of "cannot open protected movie" I was not ever aware we locked any of the oringal .swf files we produced.
Will there be any issue with Flash running off a laptop form a different country it was developed on? We just want to be able to open the html page and have everything running locally off the laptop. The application was made in USA and the laptops it will be running off of are from The Netherlands.
In my application I want to show 5 clock. In the clock shows international time depend on country based But Normal clock time I will get sytem time (getmintues and gethours) and show. How can show all country time? I tried below code for animation.
public function createChildren() : Void { border_mc = createClassChildAtDepthWithStyles( _global.styles.rectBorderClass, DepthManager.kBottom, { styleName : this }); // create the empty movie clips in the order [Code] .....
I made a flash form to send variables by a php file for my mail..the fact is that when I receive the mail characters. This is what i have in flash: 1. Input textfields with several variables, and I already choose all kind of latin characters, and it isn't working! 2. The code for the send button is:
on (release) { if (!from.length || from.indexOf("@") == -1 || from.indexOf(".") == -1) { status = "Insere um email volido!"; } else if (!nome.length) { [Code] ..... And this is working! I still don't know if the problem is in flash or in the php file..
And this what I have in "mail.php3": <?php mail("xirika@hotmail.com", $subject, $message, "From: beAgency Reply-To: $from X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); ?> I already tried to save the php file in dreamweaver encoded in UTF-8 but it didin't worked, actually the mail never came!!
I saved my work and a backup. This morning I got the dreadful message "failed to open document" followed by the path to the file. The output panel gave me this message: The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
In file "/Users/lucilarios/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/Javascript/ObjectFindAndSelect.jsfl": Cannot find file /Users/lucilarios/Desktop/Trabajo_Macondo3/ProjectAlgebra09/Tutorials Algebra/Integers/LawsOfAddition/NewProject/AssocLawAdd.fla.
The info on the file size shows 0 bites. Both the file and its backup were corrupted.Are there compatibility issues betweenAdobe CS5.5 Programs and Mac OX Lion? Lion has crashed my computer several times and other programs like Photoshop and Adobe Bridge have also misbehaved.
A NetStatusEvent with info.code of "NetStream.Connect.Closed" is dispatched by NetConnection when a NetStream is closed. This seems kind of weird, shouldn't the NetStream dispatch the event? how do I know which NetStream has been closed if I have more than one running (which I do)? I need to know so I can cleanup the now dead stream.
i am new to flash (yet i have been using it for years) by that i mean, i struggle with it a lot. i was hoping someone could help me with the "incompatible override" error message and the "duplicate function definition" message.
implement closed captioning into my FLVs. I have successfully set up the FLVplayback component, and the FLVplaybackCaptioning component to work. That's not the issue. The issue is, once I have my swf, flv, and xml files (needed to successfully use CC in a FLV), I need to insert that .swf into my captivate project.
It appears to insert/import OK, but once I publish the project, the swf does not appear, and in fact the FLV icon sits on the slide rapidly blinking. Neither the video plays, nor can I even see the playback component/closed caption component (swf) that holds the FLV.
All paths are relative, so the only things I can think of that may be causing the issue are:
a)Captivate doesn't support CS3 FLVPlayback or FLVPlaybackCaptioning components
b)Since Captivate allows importing of FLV files directly, running the FLV through the component's swf is a problem
c)The hierarchy of files needed for the Closed Captioning FLV (xml, flv, swf), interfere with compiling the new Captivate .swf upon publishing I've also been told that the FLV captioning component only works in Actionscript 3.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 2.Captivate publishes .swf files using Actionscript 2.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 1. Therefore, what I need to do will not work.
what the subject says: Closed Caption for Video Flv. Every documentation on internet speak about FlvPlaybackCaptioning.. I would like to made a flv player with caption on my own...
I also found an interesting component called CCForFlashAs3, but I'm not able to use it...
I'm building a web site that uses swf's as pages. The menu.swf has 5 buttons one for each page. When I press a button it loads a page with addChildAt (page, 0); so that the menu is always a level above the currently loaded page. When one of the pages open it plays a mp3 in a loop. The music keeps playing when another page loads. The page that was playing the music was also on level 0 so it's gone yet the music keeps playing. How do I make it so the music stops when another page loads?
ok so i got a embed code which is hosted on another sitei enter the script to my page but now it makes my html validation fail with errors like this one h_id=cfe4b9038d67c69a9016a223b1040583&watermark=0&clickTag=null" width="1000"they all mainly apply to this part of it&watermark=0&clickTag=null"and the validator says i need a /> but when i change it from > to /> dreamweaver says it invaid <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">i dont know this code is there away to change it and still work? i deleted it from the end but then the watermark appears again.
I'm writing a Flash game for a class that is supposed to test elementary kids' math skills. After each activity is completed, Flash sends the results to our database (e.g., that 8/10 math problems were answered correctly). If the user is in the middle of an activity and hits our Logout button, we'll send what results they had to the database anyway. But if the user closes out of the browser in the middle of an activity, is there a way to quickly send stuff to the database before the swf dies?
[url] i first thought they were using a socket server for this but if they were using socket server, i can only login one per ip address right? but if i open up two different browser, i can log in with two different character interacting each other.what i really dont understand is, how the character dispears right after the browser closed, without using a socket server.
FMS: 3.5..User is not getting disconnected from FMS on IE until IE is closed. While it works on Firefox and Chrome.When a user logs out on Firefox and Chrome, the user connection of FMS is getting updated. But it doesn't work on IE until IE is closed.
I am trying to popup (addChild) a movieclip with a close button, which has FLVPlayback component in it. When hit close button, movieclip is removed from the scene and flv is stopped. But when popup the same movieclip again, flv is not correctly loaded into player and progress continues forever.vance.
