I'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.

I have been working on a Simple Mp3 Player. And have done ok so far. The thing i am having trouble with is to do with The Agent names that are given to Flash Mp3 Players. Some mp3 players have very specific Agent names (I dont know if agent names are something that is common in Flash so i will explain)
When streaming an mp3 player, The Shoutcast server that is sending the stream, will be getting feedback on Who is listening, i.e. what port there listening from and the current location, but the other thing that is given is the Mp3 Player they are using to listen to the stream.

I need to open up a page within "youtube" from a clip used in a Flash movie. I have no problem with how to go about this it is just that with IE it won't let me open the link automatically - I get the "Pop up" warning spiel before the site can be opened. Is there any way I can do this seamlessly, from the movie, without requiring users to authorise security checks?

I am wasting a lot of time trying to understand why I am instantiating an object that doesn't want to be instantiated![code]What's happening?! It looks like I need to wait an event to proceed with initRingTimer, but am I using the wrong event? Do I really need an event?

for some reason my first attempt to post this didn't work so i will try again, and do it better this time... I would like to have a flash intro that then turns into the header/banner (size wise) with my (html) site loading below it. I'm not sure if this is possible or how to go about it, the idea is that it looks very fluid and slick.

I have a slideshow that loads image files with the BulkLoader class from here. When the first image is loaded completely, it gets added to a MovieClip container to add it to the stage.. and it gets displayed fullscreen, but only if a button is clicked:
fullScreenButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showFull);
function showFull(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addChild(mcSlideHolder);
[Code]....
This works fine unless the fullScreenButton is clicked before the image is loaded completely, then of course nothing is visible. How do I get button click event that calls showFull() to wait until the image is loaded/added to the container or how can I add it again? What is a possible/the best approach?
I tried dispatching a custom event "firstImgAdd" that adds the image again to the container when the fullScreenButton is clicked, as well as with a try/catch block or even a simple if condition but none of them worked, meaning the image does not get added to the container after it has finished loading when the button is clicked too early.

How do I wait for an external .txt file to load in ActionScript 3? If I use URLLoader, I have no guarantee that the file has loaded, since it dispatches an event when it's complete. I'm calling the loader function from another class, so I can't simply stick the next actions into the event listener.

The problem is that it executes #Second before #First, which means that the object is not fullly loaded but the code continues nonetheless. Is there a way handle this? I have tried using a while loop, but this is ugly and makes flash crash. Is there any decent way to handle this, does it have to do with better code structure/program flow or is there a technical way to make it wait? Also note: This code is executed on the server side, which means there are no frames involved.
UPDATE:When projects get bigger, this gets very ugly, especially when you are retrieving mulitple things from a server, you have to use very deep nesting, you have to keep repeating the same code, example for buying a serial:
a.onload() {
if(moneyAmount > 10){
b.onload(pay) {

I am trying to load the output of a php-file into some flash variables and then fill some textfields with those variables. But it seems like even though I have a completehandler it tries to fill the textfields before I get all the data.
Code:
function loadQuestion(){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("the url to my php script");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
Is it wrong of me to have the completeHandler inside the loadQuestion function? And is it wrong of me to assume that because I put the data in the textfields in the completeHandler it should w8 until its finished loading?

I am still working to fix a FIRED developers code he left us with. The code in question goes out and request information from a database, places it into arrays and also checks session. THis is what I think it should be doing. I am getting a bunch of undefined returns ( prints out in the assigned text fields). Is there a way to make Flash WAIT until all the data has been retrieved from the database. This is out first theory.

Well i want to pass from main frame 1 to frame 2 when the MC animation is exactly on his own frame 5

I'm just trying to make a simple function that will return all the data from my SQLITE database as an array. But it looks like when my function is returning the array, the SQL statement is actually still executing... so it's empty... Does anyone have a suggestion? Or am I just going about this whole thing wrong.I know I could just have the event listener functions outside this function, and they could then set the data. But i'm trying to make a AS3 Class that holds all my SQL functions, and It would be nice to have everything for this particular function just in one function, so it can return an array to me.
public function getFavsGamesArray():Array
{
getFavsArraySql.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, res);

Has any one experienced a crash when using "test movie" in Flash CS4 on Windows 7?For me, it started when I began working on an Actionscript 2.0 project. It happens every time I test a movie, then minimize the window.I have tried re-installing Flash, but the problem still remains. The weird thing is, it waits until I minimize the window. No other time.
Test movie --> Close it --> Minimize Flash --> Wait a second or two --> Crash

How do variables true/false custom variables work in flash?
For example, what I want to do is create a simple true=false variable that I can call on an if statement later.
For example:
Code:
Var1 = true;
if (!Var1)
{
[Code]....
I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.

I am not exactly new to Flash in that I can do several things with it. However, I am not anywhere near expert status. I am working on an interactive map of a college campus for my employer. I am employing buttons that, when moused over, display a large image of each campus building. The question is this: is there a way to also have maybe an actionscript that would center that image automatically?
In other words, if the building I want to show is on the right hand side of an internet explorer window and I mouse over it, is there a way to have the map auto scroll the window to center the image that pops up on mouse over?

I have been asked to loop an existing FLV file that someone else created. I do not know what version of Flash was used to create this file, however I do have an older version 7.2 Flash MX Pro. Currently the FLV starts automatically and stops and the end of the movie. The owner of the site would like the movie to start over with a continuous loop. I'm pretty much of a rookie with Flash and with HTML5 coming out soon, I don't think I'll get a chance to become a pro at this.
