View 5 RepliesLet's say we create a button that when clicked should open browser window and go to google.com page. When you run your flash program in Flash Builder (with CTRL + ENTER command) it works just fine, but when you run the swf file alone (mouse double click) the web page won't open.
Here is the code, just paste it into frame 1 and see for yourself (let me know if this problem doesn't occur for you, it might be something with my Flash Builder CS4 settings...)[code]...
I want to make the menu page load in the same window.Right now, if you click on the index page, it will open the menupage in a new window. I know I need to use _self, or _parent. But Icouldn't figure out where to insert it.

View 2 RepliesI've used localConnection to build 3 swfs that communicate with one another. Everything works smoothly until i open another browser tab with any flash website. And those websites were built by me so i know they don't contain any localConnections.
Why is this happening and is there anyway to prevent it?
If I have a file system path can I open a window in Explorer (on windows) or in Finder (on OS X) displaying the folder that the path leads to?

I have an html website that displays still photographs contained in a swf built in flash. I refer in particular to the images in the rectangle window on the right. [URL]As you can see the swf starts with a % preloader. The images are fairly high resolution, 14 in total (each embedded into movie clips and not dynamically loaded)I just wish to know if there is a way of SPEEDING up the time it takes for the swf to load and open in the web page, to aid users with a slower connection.I understand that if my host server is reaonably fast (which I believe it is) then the problem lies with the users connection speed, but IS THERE ANY ADD ON ACCELERATOR or CODING I can apply from my side of things ?

View 5 RepliesI have a Flash website and would like to add content that resides within a scrolling pane and I'm unsure of the best way to proceed.Content is single Excel doc comprised of several tables listing machine equipment parts in a table format.There are no active/formula cells.These are simply multi-column / multi-row tables with simple data already entered.I want to display these tables within the confines of an existing Flash website and need some help, firstly, with identifying the simplest way to proceed.
View 1 RepliesSimple bit of code, a loop that attaches a movieclip, which in turn contains a button. Now, when the button triggers an onRollOver, I need to be able to move the clip which the button resides in. I can't get it to work, and I think it's a scope thing; (Where ident_btn is the instance name of the button in the dynamically attached mc):
Code:
for (var i=0; i <= 15; i++) {
identID = "ident" + i;
var tempgrid = grid_mc.attachMovie("ident_proto", identID, grid_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tempgrid.ident_btn.onRollOver = function() {
// Move the clip this button belongs to
} tempgrid.ident_btn.onRollOut = function() {
// Un move the Clip this buttons belong to
}
Inside a datagrid, I essentially want to create a "download button" itemrenderer to the right of the name of a downloadable object, resulting in something like the following link: [URL]
The download function operates upon the currently selected row and is called when one of the download buttons is clicked. Therefore, I am wondering if anybody knows of a way to select the row the itemrenderer button is contained within as the active row when one of the download buttons is clicked.
In preloading a movie, I need to listen to the load progress of an external FLV that resides on the next frame-- the grandChild of a movieClip on the stage.This is the actionScript of the mentioned grandChild:
Code:
import fl.video.*;
function onFLVComplete(event:VideoEvent):void {
event.target.play();[code]....
Now, if I understand it correctly all I have to do is listen to (making sure my child mapping is correct) this loader....correct? I have the following in on the first frame throwing a 'reference to null object or property' error:
Code:
container.main.myVid.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
container.main.myVid.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
I have an external swf called "home". On the "home" stage is a button, and when this button is clicked, im wanting it to play a movieclip on the Flash document the container resides in (index.swf).
The movieclip has an instance of "background".
So I tried to code something in AS3, it works technically, but not so smoothly. Try opening the three graudge doors here: [URL]..
They don't relly want to open and seem to open when the mouse moves out of the movies clip which is not how it's programmed:

I am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.

I work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.
Is there a way to open the "open file dialog box" in a swf using javascript.
The swf is on a webpage.
I made some videos with graphic effects in my video editing software. I suppose it might be easier to make SWF files from dedicated flash software - but I am quite comfortable doing things in video. So anyway, my goal is to be able to play the video on a web page - BUT WITHOUT the controls that go along with flv players such as wimpy. I would be just as happy to use flv if I could figure out how to hide the contols (play, volume etc.). I just want the movie to play - it should just play like an animated gif (but with sound and my option to loop or not).
View 0 Repliesi'm working in CS3, with AS2
I'm taking a website i put together, and plopping it on a DVD.
There are 3 parts to it.
One, is the flash .exe, which brings up a small splash page with general info on me. At the bottom there are two links to webpages i made. I would like to keep all the websites files ON the DVD, and not have the end-user need to have an internet connection, although in these times, i guess i could get by that way.
2nd part, is the webpage's main page. The main page contains a flash frame, in which there are six buttons, each with AS(2) looking to a folder on the DVD, to bring up another URL in the same window. Ru:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("D:/main/1/index.html","_self");
weird thing is, this works when on the hdd, but as soon as i put it on the DVD and try to run it from there, the main page doesn't connect/open the link I specified. I've also tried it:
Code:
getURL("1/index.html","_self");
and that doesn't work either. i'm not if i'm missing something small, but if need be, i can post a chopped down zip or rar with the files needed for someone to take a look at.
