I have a swf file loading over the top of a background graphic. The swf only covers part of the background... the part that I want to animate. My intention was that the background graphic would load quickly (it does) and that's what the visitor would see until the swf file completely loads and shows itself seamlessly over the top of the graphic. It would be seamless to the visitor because the swf image is identical to and matches to the background. So from the visitor's perspective, they would see a static image until the swf loads and then see part of that seemingly same image begin to animate.
However, what happens is that the background image loads and then a big black box (where the swf is loading) appears over the background until the swf file is completely loaded.I have tried setting my swf background to transparent, but that does not work.Does anyone know a way to prevent the black box (of the loading swf) from showing over my background image while the swf file loads?
I know that one of the most frequently asked questions is on how to resize a movieclip to fit the dimensions of an image.
My question is similar, but kind of inverse;
I need to resize an image to fit in an empty mc.
Code:
loadMovie("image/imageTest.jpg", mc_appImage);
mc_appImage._width = 190;
mc_appImage._height = 225;
There's my current code... the image loads fine, but does not rezie :/ What am I doing wrong? What do I need do to make this work?
is there a way to specify the size of the image placeholder with SWFObject?Basically I want to scale up the size of the image in flashvars.[code]No one knows if this is doable?
View 1 RepliesSo I have this flash site, I have a video placeholder in it, that directs to a .flv outside flash, everything works perfectly. But now I want a button, and that when I press it, it goes to the next video. So this is the code I have so far.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

i want to ask how to make a placeHolder in flash actionscript 3..,what i do need to know is that how to sett a placeholder width and height:confused::confused::confused:
Code:

I looped my buttons just fine. However, I am trying to load a movieclip based on what button is clicked. the code loads the same movie everytime though.
View 13 RepliesI have done work in dreamweaver before but decided to try and move into the flash scene some. Well I'm putting together a multimedia photography site and made a slide show with Flash Slideshow Maker Professional to create a .swf slideshow file. I am using actionscript 2 and have a placeholder with the instance name of empty. So the script I'm using is:
[Code]....
All of this is actionscript 2, NOT 3. I have my opening page which is one big SWF with flash buttons on it. When this swf loads, I have a action on frame 1 of my timeline that reads:It loads the swf into the movieclip placeholder and plays just fine!My problem now seems to be understanding proper syntax for button actions. My objective is to have each flash button load a different SWF into the placeHolder_mc, but it's not working.I've tried:on (press) {loadMovie("about.swf", "placeHolder");}but it doesn't work at all. I've even tried variations, but I really seem to be overlooking something probably due to lack of knowledge.
View 2 RepliesI'm using swfobject, and in the replacement div I have a message for those who don't have Flash or JS support. The replacement div contains a message like "You don't have Flash player, please download here" - my concern here, is that Google will see and index this message, which is not relevant to the content of the page, and it's going to affect the search ranking.
Is there some way to mark a piece of content to be ignored by Google? My guess is no.
But then how do you go about placing a message like this without having it indexed?
My only idea is to use an iframe with nofollow. But then Google will penalize any site that uses frames, so that's not a good option either.
I've set-up a custom scroll bar from an on-line tutorial. I have put placeholder text (I have proper text to fill in later) into a static text field that is inside a movie clip on the main timeline which can scroll with as2 however only shows 2/3 of the text. I've tried to see if there is a character limit for the field?
View 0 Repliesi have created an ios app in cs5, I am using a button when touched it should display a photo gallery. I Have researched plenty of tutorials but most of them you need to import the images onto the stage first, i only want the photos to be displayed once a button has been clicked by loading them from the library, once the photos have been loaded the user should be able to go back onto the app.
View 3 RepliesSo I am working on a portfolio site for a friend. She has a few photo galleries. Each one on it's own frame with an empty movieclip that loads an external .swf gallery (has pre-loader bar). There's three Sections so I have three buttons with _root.gotoAndStop("framelablehere"); behaviors on each frame.
What happens is if the external .swf file is loading and you decide to click to another section while the .swf has not finished loading my whole timeline freaks out and plays threw all the frames in my main movie. So it goes threw every section of the entire site! I have multiple stop();'s threw out my main movie. Basically one for each frame in my main movie plus more in the external .swf's.
You can check it out here [URL]- Just go to Projects>Photography and once you see the movie loading click to another section and watch the spasming begine~
Ok, here's the deal. I want to generate a maximum of 5 childs in a clip called 'placeholder' using a button (placeCloud_1). the childs will 'float' to the top of the stage. when the y=0 the child must be removed (using the function checkPos() ) so i can add another child without exceding the number of 5 childs.

Everything works, except for the removeChild! i've tried removeChild(this) , this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(mc), placeholder.removeChild(this) etc... and nothing works. When using (this) it throws TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert global@2f6710d1 to flash.display.DisplayObject.

when using (mc) it throws
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

i've got 5 images. i want the following things to happen:
1. the placeholder movie clip automatically tweens to adjust to the image's dimensions.
2. the transition between each image is a la: [URL] -- front page when you enter
3. the images stay on the screen for approx. 5 seconds each.
I have 4 navigation button and like home, about us etc.... And i want to disable home when it is click and cannot clicked it until the user click another button first. means if a visitor is at home page then home navigation is disabled, and all other are active, and when they click at aboutus button then the pages goes to the about us page and the about us button is disabled and other get active. I want this solution in AS3 with oop concept.
View 6 RepliesI've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?
View 2 RepliesI have parent movieclip and in that many different children movieclips
What i want to do is when i CLICK, i want to detect which movieclip it has clicked and call corresponding function (defined by onpress event) of that movieclip.
What does the code look like if I want the user to click two specific buttons then go to a new frame. I've been trying different methods, but I am honestly not brilliant with conditional statements. This is what I've got so far...
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickAbout);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickMain);
if (function clickMain(event) && function clickAbout(event))

I haven't been able to find a solution that fits my project. I am working on a 50 state map, where I need each state to stay down once clicked, but go up when any other state is clicked. [code]...
View 9 RepliesI'm looking to create a popup which opens a "template" html page with an image placeholder. This way you should be able to send a variable from the swf and open up the same html page each time but the image would change as you change the variable from the flash button.
Basically I have flash page containing various thumbnails and when clicked, each one will open a larger version, but I dont want to make a html page for each one so rather 'send' the filename to the html page if this is possible?
[URL]
I was given this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Image viewer</title>
<script>
function loader(){
[code]....
I just basically want the swf file to decide which jpeg is to be loaded into the popup.html.
I'm making a site in flash and I have a video in the middle that autoplays when you come on the site. I have used Adobe media encoder to convert a test video to a .flv and just embedded it into the flash. This really increases the filesize and I don't want to wait long everytime I upload the swf to our FTP server.
I know there is a way to make sort of placeholder using getVideo (or something like that), but I didn't manage to make it working.
I have a simple input box where people can type a message in it and send it off in an email. However, I want people to know what the box is for and that you can type in it. A simple "Type your message here" line would do the trick, but if I have that text pre-typed into the box, the user has to highlight it and delete it before they start typing. How to I make it so that as soon as the user clicks the text box, the placeholder text disappears?
View 1 RepliesHow can I make it stay the rollon color after it's clicked and then the rolloff color when another button is clicked?

I have a flash file from istockphoto that I purchased. It is of the US. When you mouse over a state it is highlighted. I want it to take you to a web page when you click the state. I have bee trying to get it to do that, but I am very lost on how to make that happen.[url]...
View 10 RepliesI have many movieclips on stage, let's say 100.Rather than setting onRelease or OnPress function for each one, is there any way of looping through all the movie clips (maybe if they were called MC1 MC2 MC3 MC4 etc etc), using an array, to see which one was pressed and then say what should happen if so and so MC was pressed.
Depending on which MC is pressed a variable will be a different number... e.g. MC1 pressed means variableA = 1, MC1 pressed means variableA = 2, MC1 pressed means variableA = 3 etc
I just thought there would be a more intelligent solution than writing out this 100's of times: MC[numberOfMC].onPress = function() { do something };
This is just ridiculous! I just saw another video on this site preaching the gospel of AS3.Look, Im sure it's great in many ways that I dont appreciate or understand but come on! Would it be too much to ask that if I am in 'designer' mode, I could say, right-click on a button and add a URL to it when clicked?? Now I have to write a function to achieve this???
I think Flash needs to be broken into parts that cater to both designers and developers.Not all of us that faithfully buy Adobe products have in house development teams to do our bidding.
I made a contextMenu for my list. Then i have a function like this for [code]...
How can i get to know which listItem was clicked?
I was hoping that the "e.mouseTarget" would be an item, but its a list's CellRenderer.
