ActionScript 2.0 :: Only Playing A SWF File One Time Per Session?
Sep 26, 2007
In each individual .fla file, it calls in various external .swf files. On one of the .swf files is only audio that loads when the user plays the movie. When they go back to the main menu and select that particular flash movie or section of the website again, the .swf file triggers and plays the audio again. Basically, I do not want that audio to play each time they re-enter that section of the website or I do not want that .swf file to reload if it already has been loaded during that session.Currently I have the following, but it is not working. The .swf file with the audio still loads every time:
haslistenedtoaudio = false
if (haslistenedtoaudio == false){
loadMovieNum("audioMovie.swf", 3);
I created a flash banner, put it in to my server and don't know how to launch banner only one time then i come in to my website. It's lauching every time then i refreshing website or clicking menu items.
Below I have a counter program. the counter starts running once i open the swf file. Now I need to place a button where i can get the static session time like say 00:01:50 in a text box telling " You have been logged for+time+time. I dont have any idea how i can get the locked timer. The timer goes on running. I want the static time to be displayed when i click on the exit button too. Because exit button opens a page where this time will be displayed, so the user knows how long he has spent on my swf.
Code: //initial variables var timing:Boolean = false;
I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?
I have a flash logo on my website but I don't want it to play every page load.I'm a total newbie in actionscript but I've gone as far as I have with the logo by googling and asking questions. I hope someone can please tell me how to do this one last thing I need on my logo since I can't find it anywhere! :)I'm using AS2 but I guess I can use 3 as well.
I have some animation (programmatic, I'm NOT using keyframed animation in timeline), and some music I want to play in the background. Once the music file reaches the end (about 30 seconds long), I want to trigger the end of the animation functions.I figure I could either use an actionscript timer to trigger the end of the animation or a keyframe with actionscript that is placed on the timeline near the end of the song but these methods assume knowledge about the duration of the wave file. If I changed the framerate or updated the external wave file, these triggers would possibly no longer sync upIs there some sort of event listener or other detection method for an audio file to signal it has finished playing? Or maybe there is a way to get the duration of the audio file to use in the timer
I've been trying to add a second f4v video file to this class to hopefully play the two videos at the same time. I made an uneducated guess by copying variables and changing their names - somewhere I've done something stupid with the error:
ActionScript Code: ArgumentError: Error #2001: Too few arguments were specified; got 0, 1 expected. at flash.net::NetStream/play() at FLVPreloader/connectStream()
I wanna download a movie clip from the Web and play it, and at the same time, save the clip onto the local disk. So next time I play the clip, no more downloading.my environment is Flash CS4 and AIR.I looked up three classes: NetConnection, NetStream, VideoPlayer.
The first time I change from state A to B it doesn't play the transition. After the first transition, the same state change does play the transition.
Before I let state B load, it parses an xml file and maps it to objects. When this is done, the state changes. Maybe it has to do with the parsing of the xml. But I can confirm that parsing is done, before it changes the state.[code]...
I am working on a site that has a clock but it displays in military time, is there a way to change it to regular time. The following is the Action script:
im making a flash upload thingy for my site, it has options to set the expiry time of the file, each time has a button which needs to be made from an array (which comes forma php script, not really relevent)... here is my code..
ActionScript Code: if (vars.options == undefined){[code]....
i know the x values are too small but they should still all appear on the stage right ?, only the final item in the array appears...i think i might be replacing the previous one with the new one.
I have a flash file where the first frame contains two buttons, one of which takes the user to the second frame, and the other takes them to the third frame. At each of those frames, various text fields and variables can be manipulated via SimpleButtons. Both Frame 2 and Frame 3 have "back" buttons to take them back to Frame 1.
Currently when the user navigates back to Frame 1 for the second time (thus playing it for a third time), my second button appears to no longer exist, and I receive an error. Both buttons on Frame 1 were placed via the Flash IDE. Why is my button popping out of existence, when it did perfectly fine the previous two times? Below is my code for Frame 1. The "back" buttons simple remove event listeners and then call gotoAndStop(1)
var inited:Boolean; var cache:SharedObject; var libsans:Font = new libsansreg();
I am trying to make this movie clip (presenter1) to play all is animations at the right times, when it starts the movie clip should be on the frame label rock which is frame 1 then on rollover it should go to frame label gesture which is frame 2 onRelease it should go to frame label walk which is frame 3 then if its already on the walk frame then go to walkback which is frame 4.
Code: Select allpresenter1.onRollOver = function () { if (frame = "walk") { stop(); } else if (frame = "rock") { this.gotoAndPlay(2); }} presenter1.onRollOut = function () { [Code] .....
i have a flash movie that has a clock , slideshow and text scroller that plays all day in my resaurant. I want to change it so that it plays a movie with special offers in the mornings, then plays a movie saying we're reopening at 4.15 in the afternoon and then play another movie wit clock/slideshow inteh evening. How can i set my flash code to play these 3 different movies at the specified times automatically.
I have three FLV videos playing on my main time line.they are each set to auto play and the are each on individual frames.lets say frame 30-31 and 32.how do I have the video stop playing once it detects that the user clicked out of that frame?my problem is the video or I guess it's just the audio keep on playing even though I am already viewing some other page.
I have developed a Player where I am using FMS to play MP3 files, it works great in normal scenario but when user keep on clicking new songs from Song List (List Component) then the player stated playing all songs. Which It should not do. Is there a way that we can unload previous song before loading new song.
I have a video playing on my page. I want to show and hide some div's when the video reaches a certain point. Lets say hide something on 10th second and show it again on 20th second.I can easily do it in HTML5 with video tag and currentTime attribute but for IE I have to create the same functionality and I think with flash based videos (from YouTube or something like that).Is there a way to detect the current time of a video playing on my website, embeded from YouTube, Metacafe or any other video sharing site?I know I could detect it in flash and make it run some JavaScript function but I don't have flash nor have the skills to do it in AS3.
I'm working on a site, for kids, which has a small avatar in the corner that talks.The avatar is a flash file and the plan is to determine what it says through a mix of javascript and ajax.
Unfortunately when I make the flash file play an Mp3 file through JavaScript, I can't seem to stop the sound.. so when I keep clicking on a link which causes it to talk, I hear the sound repeated x times.
The odd thing is, when I attach the very same code to a button in flash, there seems to be no such limitation. It seems as if it won't store anything in global variables when calling from JavaScript.
I have a short animation that I want to pause for 5 seconds and then play again. Now I am using acionScript 2 to get this done.
Here is the code. stop(); function triggerNext () { var z = setInterval (changeAd, 15000); }function startAgain(){ gotoAndPlay(1); } triggerNext()
Now this works the first 2 times. But when the third time rolls around it seems to start and the start again. This progressively gets worse as time goes on.
I am trying to create rollovers in dropdown menus that i have. I am having a problem with the rollovers on the same dropdown all playing at the same time. The rollovers play backward and forward correctly as they should but when you mouse over one of seven they all play.
I have 2 flash banners (using ActionScript 2) on my web page, how can I make them start playing at the same time, after the page has fully loaded? Both .SWF files are embedded in HTML using the script provided by Adobe on object export. I created both in Flash CS4, but I have very little knowledge of flash. I read about "LocalConnection", but I have no idea how to implement it in flash.
Flash CS4, I have an f4v vid on one layer and another f4v vid on a second layer. the films do not overlap on the timeline. I have a button to goto the layer with the second f4v. All works fine however when I go to the second fv4 the first one continues to play which i obviously need to stop.
Created an mp3 player that works fine, but i need the track name, artist name, track timer, to be shown aswell?and i dont have a clue how do go about doing this.
I have a problem that I have not found a syntax error or logic error to explain. It appears to be an obscure problem related to playing a sound file and graphic positioning in the same file. My next step is to look for any known bugs. I have posted the file at. URL] When the page loads you will see a list of selections. Do not click any of the html Play buttons In the graphic arrow pointing to the right is the play button click it and a default file will start. Click the pause button (which will be green while the selection plays) Then click the play button again. The knob that moves while the song plays, will begin moving from the position it was at the time pause was clicked.
Click the stop button (arrow facing left with vertical line at tip) Choose a selection from the html list by clicking the Play button next to it. Then click the play button in the player display. The title of selection will appear in the title area. repeat the original steps (play, pause, play) This time the knob that moves while song plays, snaps back to the start and moves from start, rather than from the pausedposition.
