I tried using the class from Michael but didnt work for me or maybe I was doing something wrong. When I tried when this class it open the menu on top of the flash player or html page.
View 2 RepliesI have been reading through the Source/Experiments threads and trying to implement suggestions in the Content Scrollbar (Revised) [URL].. thread. I'm using Flash MX 2004, Actionscript 2.0 and throughout the course of this great thread the suggestions seem to shift and become geared for Flash 8. There are a few hints that MichaelxxOA kindly left for MX 2004 people loading content dynamically but I haven't been able to get to work. It's been a long work in progress but I feel like I am getting closer. At the moment I have been able to get the xml content to load into flash but I had to create a kind of dummy cell in the contentMain that is approximately the length of the combined images in the xml document. Is there a way to change the code so that it can read and load the content of the xml document so that when it varies flash loads into contentMain what ever combined height the xml includes? Here is the zip including .xml, .fla, .swf, .as and image with progress so far.
View 2 RepliesI have used a trick which has worked fine so far in our company's project.here how it works:
NOTE:
If you want to use AS1, ignore my soloution and just use isDown("18") with combination of othjer keys.
if you want to use AS2, you can not use isDown("18") in AS2.
if you want to use AS3 read the following:
1) Trap Alt keys using .isDown("18") in a SWF published as ActionScript 1.0;
3) In a SWF (AS 1.0) defined your keys like (All the letters you need, ex: A,B,...) with combination with Alt
4) Create a SWF published as Action Script 3.0.
5) Create an instance of the Local Connection Class available in SWF(AS 3.0)
6) Create an instance of the Local Connection Class available in SWF (AS1.0)
7) Talk between AS1 and AS3 using the local connection
NOTE: In order for your key combination to happen only once but not continusly, you need to do a trick like the following: THIS IS Action Script 1.0 SWF
stop();
var lastKey = 0; var keyListener = new Object(); var sending_lc = new LocalConnection(); var resetFromAS3 = new LocalConnection();[code].........
I need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.

View 5 RepliesI am currently putting together a simple game where people have to pass my tests to join a club. At the end I would like them to be given a unique name. I imagine this could be done if I make 3 lists of 50 words, and right a piece of code that randomly selects one word from each list to create a unique combination almost every time. I am using actionscript 2 because I am fairly novice and this is about as complicated as my code is going to be, but is this to bigger job for action script 2?

Can an action be initiated through pressing a key combination? Here's a snippet instructing a MovieClip to move right when SHIFT+Z are pressed...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, testFn);
function testFn(event:KeyboardEvent){
if(event.keyCode == 16 && 90){
dot.x += 5;
}
}
Only the first key is recognized, i.e. the dot moves when SHIFT only or SHIFT+Z together are pressed; the swf's ignoring the second key.
The objective is when user clicks on any combination of 2 buttons you would then gotoAndPlay a new page based onthe two specific buttons you have selected? Ideally user would be able to intermix the button combinations. Code below only works for two specific buttons, but doesn't allow to intermix button clicks.

I've followed the thread there: [URL]
I understand that this class allow the script to detect when keys are pressed in combination.
But what is exactly the implementation when a key is used both in single and combination states. Let's say that you've the "q" key used alone and "shift-q"...how would one proceed to achieve this detection?

I've created a fly in of 40 boxes which will form a block of 800x500 with a picture in it. On my site [URL] I've actually done the background image with 40 actual 100x100 pictures cut out of the original image. Then (on these forums) I learned how to cut up an image using bitmapData. To have dynamic backgrounds I would like to figure out how to combine these two.

I have a movie clip = circle
When the user clicks the circle I want the user to be able to drag and drop a new instance ie circle1.This whole process needs to be repeatable.......ie next time user clicks the original circle ie circle the code must know the last instance number ie circle1 exists and when the user clicks circle that circle2 is created dragged and dropped.....so on and so on.
This is easy you may say - duplicatemovie and startdrag etc........the problem is that when the user clicks on the original circle the mouse focus is on the original circle and not the new instance just created ie circle1 which then needs to be dragged and dropped.Just to complicate things the user needs to be able to delete a circle at any time by using the keyboard 'del' key.

Aside from using browser headers, I want to blacklist/whitelist browser and plugins from my site so that I can prevent these older unpatched systems from (1) being a general user of my site (2) removing those 'targets' from would-be-attackers reach.Is there a standard way to use Whitelisting or Blacklisting to control browser access to my site? For example, I want to prevent any browser that has outdated Flash, but I want to permit them if they have no Flash at all.
View 1 RepliesHow can i make a combination of keys make a movie clip visible? Basically i want something like this to work:

reminder._visible = true;
}
So when someone presses the Alt and A keys down at the same time the 'reminder' mc becomes visible?

I have two classes. The Main class calls a function, which is defined in a Second class.I'm getting the following error:Error 1120: Access of undefined property myFunctionBasically, I am creating buttons in the Main class that will add a corresponding Child to an Object in the Second class (if you click one button, child x1 will be added, if you click another button, child x2 will be added, and so forth).Here's the relevant code for the Main.as file:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code].....
If I have three classes:
public class Example {
public function Example () {
}[code]............
You can see that the two last classes extend the first one, and both have the 'variable' property. In case that I have an instance of Example and I am sure it is also an ExtendedExample OR AnotherExtendedExample instance, is there some way to access the 'variable' property? Something like
function functionThatReceivesAnExtendedExample (ex:Example):void {
if(some condition that I may need) {
ex.func()

I`m instancing a Character and a Player in the Main Timeline, all in frame 1.
When I use: ""player.attack(character)"" it works fine by itself.
So I added the if (defender._hp <= 0) this.win() which gives me the following error:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method win through a reference with static type Character.
"defender" is a Character instance, "this" is a Player instance and "win()" is a Player method. I try to call the Player method inside a Character method using the Player instance adding the "." and his method name
Do I really need to define the win() function in the Character class? Is there a bypass to use a subclass method in a parent class method if it`s called from an instance of the subclass?
