ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading A Swf Remotely Kills GetURL
Nov 13, 2009
I've discovered something odd. When I load an swf from another server into an object/embed, it seems to kill the getURL function in Firefox and Safari, but not in IE.
Starting with a blank project, when I load a SWF which has a dependence on ISomeInterface defined in a swc which is compiled into my blank project
var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext( true, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain ); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load( new URLRequest( "Some.swf"), lc );
I can't see how to do this because silverlight is compiled. I don't want to load a video, I want to load a component/object that will be instantiated at runtime. Flash can easily do this as movieclip is also an component/object.
here we go... [URL] if you click on the "instant quote & order online " button, the website opens up fine in a new window, but when you click on an option in the new page - i.e. business cards - the website freezes!?
Ok so my swf on my homepage is calling in the main.swf which then has movieclips and coded like this on the Actions layer which I made
button1.onRelease = function (){ _root.button1.getURL("http://scholarscanada.com/wordpress/education/programs/reading-readiness/" "_parent"); }
Here is the site so you guys can see, I believe it has to be something with calling the main.swf into the movieclip because I've never encountered this issue before...If you click on the LEARN MORE for the first image it doesnt go to the page which I ask it for
I'm encountering a weird phenomena. I have a multi nested display object structure. Some of the deeper display objects have MOUSE_CLICK events. But as soon as I set main display item container.rotationX = 5 then the mouse events don't work anymore.
I've got a movie with some buttons in the middle of the screen. I've got a tween on the buttons to make them grow/shrink on rollOver/rollOut, when a button is clicked, I've got a frame animation that moves the buttons to the top of the screen and shrinks them. This all works fine.
When the buttons grow, they need to appear on top of all the other buttons. Since there's no more swapDepths, I'm using setChildIndex to move the rolled over button to the top. Now, when I click one of the buttons (after rolling over it), any of the buttons I've rolled over aren't affected by the frame animation.[code]...
I have a graphic sitting on my stage that I want to convert to a movieclip so I can change it's alpha with as3. If I change it from a graphic to a movieclip my swf stops working. I have a bunch of code which constructs a dynamic menu and it stops working when the graphic is changed to a movieclip. They aren't related in any way so why would this happen? As a graphic it doesn't have an intance name and nothing is happening to it. It's not animated or anything. It's just sitting on the stage.
I am building an intro for a website. When I publish the swf with html and upload it straight to the server, i get a great framerate (~30 fps). However, when I plug the intro into my preloader, the framerate drops, and the flash player automatically sets the first part of the intro to low quality. I am using a preloader that uses a loadMovie command rather than the traditional preloader on frame 1, content on frame 2.[URL](if your machine is really fast, the one with a preloader might not kick it down to low quality, but it does on my athlon 2000 machine)

Does anybody else know anything about the loadMovie command causing deplorable frame rates?url...

The update to Flash 10.1 kills my cross-domain. Formerly, my file looked like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"><cross-domain-policy>[code]......
I updated to this based on what I read on this site:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM [code].....
We are using SAP Business Objects Xcelsius, which creates the .swf file that users are using to access our environment. So, I do not have any control over the code base itself.
The newest version of chrome seems to have killed my transparent backgrounds on my SWF. On a website, I use flash to have a transparent video on top of the elements. However, the background is now black under the newest versions of Chrome.
I'm working on a banner ad project where we're trying to send dynamic variables from one of our servers to position a movieclip that simply slides in from offstage and then does a little bounce. My AS2 frame script at the beginning of the tween sets the _x and _y properties of the clip successfully. But that seems to destroy all the movement of the tween. In other words, when I set those two positioning properties on the clip, it just sits there and no longer slides in or bounces. I've tried a lot of different values, but they all seem to kill the movement of the tween.
I have this issue where I have a function that when it gets called via a setInterval (or setTimeout as I have tried both), it somehow makes my class vars undefined. I have traced it right before I call the timer, right after and then inside the following function that gets called. See below:
Code: private function onFrontTireSuccess (evt:Object):Void { _allowTorqueChange = false;

I have a UIlLoader component that loads external images okay locally, but when i tested it remotely it doesn't work. Below is the code i used. I have a movieclip called content that holds my UILoader component and beside the loader is five buttons that when clicked....loads in my images.
I have a couple of methodology questions concerning an .fla file I'm working on. I made a flash gallery here. As you can see online the images fade in as they are loaded dynamically via the loadClip() method.
I would prefer them to load more like this. Is it possible to load an image to a variable instead of a MovieClip that exists on stage via actionscript?In other words, at the moment the script loads images as you go. I would prefer if I loaded all the images first and then ran the script to render, view, and navigate the images.
In addition to this if you download the zip file with the flash file, source code, and example you'll notice that the position of the images and the text is more accurate than when viewed in a browser. I thought flash was a self-contained entity and that it would run identically on all platforms / browsers / online / offline / remotely / locally.
I know a lot to ask in one post, but I think the script can benefit you as well as me if you just download it and take a look. I'd love to hear suggestions as to how to remedy the position of the images and text.
I have a zoom slider, code is in red. I have buttons on stage (site39_mc). The zoom slider can be moved manually, that works fine. I need for site39_mc to move slider to 100% scale, no matter where it is currently located. The zoom slider goes from 50% to 200%.Trying to use the code below I get an error._root.slide_mc.onClipEvent(load){ The error is asking for a field name after the "." I keep looking at it, and this is proper reference. URL...This is the site where I am trying to use this code. To see what I mean, click on a gold polygon on map. The map will snap to 100% and center on polygon. But the zoom slider stays at 75% til you manually move the slider.[code]
I create a movie on imovie. I take it to Flash(CS3) and publish it as an swf file I then install that file in Dreamweaver. All is good I save and preview it locally. the file's root folder is images and same remotely I upload all including the HTML page and when I view the page, the place where the file is is blank.
I have uploaded this many times and it just wont work.
I'm looking for an AS3 function to get the filesize of a file that is being hosted on a remote webserver. Tried to find some functions but didn't succeed.
For classroom, how do I actually able to remotely control 100's PC from a master application? Like control the student who also using Flex application is possble with XMLsocket?
I'm trying to make an application, should allow admins to edit XML variables remotely. So you don't need to upload the file every time you edit it! I though, modifying a guestbook file could work: Variable Editor, as you can see, it loads the variables into the board and you can also edit it, the first variable get edited but the 2nd one doesn't, strange
I have a zoom slider that works properly. Yahoo! Now I need to be able to control the slider from various buttons located on the stage. The zoom slider goes from 50% to 200%. When a button on the stage is clicked I need the slider to go to 100%. Here is some code...

My main movie loads "contact.swf" which has the email form in it that references "email.php".The form gives the completed message locally when running from the main movie but when I upload it nothing works.
I've made a little game in Flash, and I want it to have an online leaderboard. But after looking into it, it seems it's complicated saving a simple .txt file because of security, and the tutorials I have tried to use, using PHP to do it, have not worked, not even the excercise files. So I was wondering if anyone have either a working tutorial or code to save a simple string in a txt file, or know another way of saving data remotely?
