I have made an animation and a pause/play button within it using [code]...
However, as there are lots of movie clips in my animation, the pause button doesn't pause these or the music. Does anyone know of any software you can download that has prebuilt movie controllers for SWF movies that would let the user pause/play/mute it. Or if anyone can advise me if there is a relatively simple way I can tell the animation to stop playing all movies and sound when the pause button is pressed.
OK, this is starting to annoy me pretty intensely. For some reason the esc key shortcuts are not functioning, and nothing I do seems to be able to restore them. Even ticking the 'Esc Key Shortcuts' option in the actions panel dropdown menu has falied to make it possible for me to do as much as type 'esc-s-t' to bring up 'stop()'
I just recently switched from FLASH 8 to FLASH CS3 and noticed that by default, when working at the "Actionscript" window, I can no longer do shortcuts with keyboards. One good example is before at F8, if I want to add STOP to a keyframe, all I need to do is pre ESC then "S" and "T".
My keyboard shortcuts have quit working. I'm not talking custom shortcuts that I have defined. The default Flash shortcuts just don't work anymore.Before anyone asks, yes, I have made sure the "Disable keyboard shortcuts" option is turned off. I'm running Flash CS4 on a Windows XP pro machine.
I'm teaching a class for Flash CS3 on the Mac to about 24 students. I've been using Flash in Windows for a long time, but it's been awhile since I worked on a Mac.Our classroom has about 24 iMacs running the latest OS X (not sure exactly which version). Several Flash keyboard shortcuts don't work -- shortcuts that I use a lot, like F8 to convert to symbol.I was able to successfully disable the goofy Mac search feature that takes over another common Adobe shortcut that I use a lot (CMD-Space, in Flash/Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign it allows you to temporarily access the zoom tool). In the System Prefs control panel, there was a shortcut for F8 for some other system feature, but even with that disabled, the shortcut still doesn't work in Flash.
Another strange thing that's happening with most of these Macs: the Properties panel popup for creating a tween doesn't work. Applying a tween in other ways --- the Insert menu, CTRL-clicking and choosing from the popup menu -- works fine. If a tween is applied with the properties panel, the tween appears as broken (dashed line) in the Timeline.
I would love to backup my Flash CS4 keyboard shortcuts, but I could not find the file anywhere on my harddrive. I searched for every *.WFX file (or at least that was the right file type for older versions of Flash). I even tried to make an advanced search for all files on my PC and sort them by date modified, right after I made some changes in Flashes keyboard shortcuts - hoping that I would find the file, but haven't.
I'm assuming the answer to my question is "no" but figure it's worth asking just in caseI'm mostly an AS3 coder, but I need to work on library assets quite often to set classnames on assets so they can be instantiated through code. This usually involves hunting through the Library for the asset I need, then giving it a new name, clicking the tiny little "info" icon at the bottom of the window to bring up the Properties panel for the library item, and assigning a class name etc.
My problem is bringing up the Properties panel is not as quick and simple as it should be. That "info" icon really is tiny, and right-clicking the item in the library and scrolling through it to get to the "Properties" item is fiddly and error prone.What I really want is a keyboard shortcut. There doesn't seem to be one, and I can't assign one in the otherwise excellent Keyboard Shortcuts... menu item since Library commands are not listed there. It is not even a menu item so I can't even trigger it with applescript.
I wirte my own jsfl commands and put them into "Commands/myScript" folder, and Flash-IDE can recognize/run them without any problem.But when I assigned key shortcut to my commands in "Commands/myScript" folder, and restart Flash-IDE, my shortcuts will NOT WORKING.To correct this problem, I have to open Keyboard Shortcuts Setting window, switch to my own commands, not doing any change and click OK, then my shortcuts work again now(I have to do these EVERY TIME after Flash-IDE started).
I have an mx:Menubar, which I need to be able to open/expand based on the key pressed. For e.g., if Shift + R is pressed, it needs to open the 'Request' topmenu. Then if Shift + N is pressed, it should load the 'New request' module in the module loader. I've already implemented the MenuBar/module-loading functionality with the mouse, but I haven't been able to implement the keyboard shortcuts. I found a nice sample at [URL].
However, the solution directly performs the action (e.g. Shift + N to load the 'New request' module). The menu does not open/expand when you press the shortcut as though you had hovered your mouse over it (e.g. Shift + R to open/expand the 'Request' topmenu and then Shift + N to load the 'New request' module).
For years now I have had to restart Flash about once a week because my keyboard shortcuts just stop working. This has happened to me since about Flash 5!
I have a photo gallery that can be navigated via arrow keys and various keyboard shortcuts. However on the same SWF is also a contact form...now whenever you fill it in and use the 'F' key it tries to put the flash file into Full ScreenHow can I disable all shortcuts when in frame 30 of my SWF (the contact form) and then re-enable them when moving away from that frame.Using Flash CS5 with SlideshowPro. Have looked over the web but can't find very much on this issue at all (surprising?)
I always used this shortcuts for copy/pasteCut - Shift+DelCopy - Control+InsertPaste - Shift+InsertSo this shortcuts doesnt work in Flash IDE. I've addet this shortcuts in Edit -> Keyboard ShortcutsBUT IT STILL DOESNT WORK !!!I dont wanna use Control+X Control+C Control+Vwhy shortcuts customizing doesnt work ?
I'm working on a big app. I need to enable back native keyboard shortcuts(e.g. CTRL+T opens new tab). e.isDefaultPrevented() called in handler returns false, but still when I press CRTL+T new tab is not opened. Is there some other way to disable keyboard shortcuts except e.preventDefault()?
I've included some simple shockwave animations in a pdf to be viewed onscreen. The flash content seems to be disabling the arrow key (or any keyboard shortcuts for that matter) page advance in acrobat.
Someone in the Acrobat forum mentioned adding "stage.focus = null" but I don't seem to be having any luck with it.
The code I have in my first frame looks like this...
stop(); playButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startMove); function startMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
I tried catching the command key shortcuts using the keyDown event and checking for KeyboardEvent.ctrlKey, but the browser(Safari) seemed to have intercepted all those key events because the shortcuts I am trying to use coincides with the safari ones.
I have a flex app with lots of custom components, like custom buttons, comboBoxes etc. I am trying to add keyBoard shortcuts to the flex app. In doing so, I added a key-down listener to the app to listen for ctrl+shift key combination like this: this.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeyDown);
Then I dispatch a custom event that all of my custom components are listening for: private function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void { var evtObj:Object = new Object(); evtObj.keyEvent = event; dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(CustomEvent.SHORTCUT_KEYS_PRESSED, evtObj, true, false)); }
In my custom button component I have: this.addEventListener(CustomEvent.SHORTCUT_KEYS_PRESSED, ShortCutKeysHandler, true); So, if I go ctrl+shift+W then I want one instance of the custom button to get clicked. For some reason, the event never gets triggered and never gets to the ShortCutKeysHandler function.
I am trying to create a pause button that will pause everything on the screen including movieclips/audio. Right now I can't figure out how to pause the movieclips.
I have some banners I am doing right now and have a pause timer question. I am fairly green at coding. In my first frame I have this:
[Code]...
I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.
I am using Macromedia Flash Pro 8. I have a flash intro that has words (phrases) which slide in. I would like to add a 7 second pause between each phrase to give people time to read them (no buttons). Could someone tell me the script(s) to use with all functions, etc. included - as I am so new to all this. I have been looking for weeks & tried many codes but none seem to work - or I don't know exactly where to place them - or both
I have a timeline of 30 frames, each it's own mc (page01_mc, etc.). In each mc I show a picture or two and hear narration.I have a first, prev and next nav on the main timeline. I need to add a play/pause btn that will pause both pictures and sound. I assume I do that in each mc, but do not know where to find the code.Here is what is in each mc now:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); mySound.load(new URLRequest("english/Intro01.mp3")); mySound.play()
Is there any framwork or component already done that does something like this? I guess it should be too difficult to build? When building this I only want the shortcuts to be active when the view is visible. How do I detect this? What base class is best to inherit from when working with non visual components?
You can easily export Flash keyboard shortcuts in a HTML format but how on Earth do you import them? There simply is no visible way to do it in the keyboard shortcut panel? How do I go about doing this? (I'm using CS5.5)
Accessibility is driving me up the WALL! I have a system that has menu pop-ups and because of accessibility when the user selects OK it does what ever action the pop-up does and when the user presses ESC it leaves the menu. My issue is this all works fine when testing it in the swf file and selecting the 'disable keyboard shortcuts' BUT when I embedded it into HTML is loses this function and the short cuts stop working and at points activate html stuff. Is there a line of code or something that I can place in the .swf or .html that will disable the keyboard shortcuts?
CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worrySimilarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
I'm trying to capture keyboard events with the following code. I'm testing in an external popup flash player in FlashDevelop and it ain't tracing anything. I reckon it might be something to do with keyboard shortcuts in the flash player.
I have a Flash movie which fills the whole browser window. This means that always the key events are catched ("stolen") by the Flash movie only, when using Firefox. IE7 seems to be working as I want.
I want for example ctrl+w (close window), ctrl+n (new window), ctrl+t (new tab) to work in Firefox while the focus is on my Flash movie. How to accomplish this?
How could I assign a keyboard shortcut to the "edit multiple frames" button, and setting onion skin options?I don't see these options anywhere in Flash's standard top menus.These are the buttons I'm talking about:Also, how about a keyboard shortcut for setting brush sizes?The only way I can figure out how to set this is from the tools panel dropdown.
