I have a question for any seasoned Action scripters. Here's my problem, I have two flash files embedded in different parts of an HTML page and I want one flash file to play the other when it gets done. I would assume that I need to use PHP or javascript to talk with the HTML file that would send the other flash file a command which it was "listening" for. I really don't know however.
View 2 RepliesI have created a textArea element but cannot display my HTML content. If I just display regular text it works or if I change the textArea element to a RichEditableText element it works fine. Since this is for a mobile app I would prefer to use the textArea element as recommended by Adobe.Here is the MXML code for the textArea. All I get is the border and no content displayed.
<s:TextArea id="myHelp" editable="false" width="100%" height="100%">

Is there a solution to have the background audio/music play across multiple page on a website, WITHOUT restarting on every page load.The website currently uses a frameset, but I'm looking for an alternative.
View 2 Replieswhen you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"
Can Flash control the visibility of a html layer <div>? Example: I am building an eyeblaster style banner and would like flash to turn off the visibility of the div containing this banner, either when they click close or the movie reaches a specific frame on the timeline.
View 2 RepliesI've done this a long time ago and for the life of me cannot remember how(even found my old post here, where I said fscommand did the trick, but I never wrote exactly how I did it).I have two text links in HTML on my webpage. I have a small flash movie on the same page.
I want to have the flash movie jump to a specific frame when one of these HTML text links is clicked. And to another frame when the other is clicked.I did it before with the fscommand, but I can't remember which project it was for so I can't look at my old code.
I want to use a proxy on the HTML Control found in Adobe AIR.I have tried looking at the AS3 docs on Adobe but honestly, it didn't explain the usage clearly to me and looking at Adobe's example, I can't seem to make out anything off of it.

View 2 Replies1. I have a flash movie embedded in an html page. When the user clicks on a button in the movie it should open the new in the SAME or CURRENT window NOT in a new tab (leaving that window open).
Here's the code..getURL("imageTest.html", _self);

I'm able to get the font to change color but I can't get the background or "block color" to change color.
I am using the flex HTML component and I would like to clear the history of the control when it is taken off screen, so that when it comes back on again the history is reset.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is to set the HTML control to a new HTML control, although this is a bit of a pain.
I have a BorderContainer that has an HTML element inside of it. The HTML has a control that isn't contained in a form.
It is possible to retrive text from the input element at a given moment?

What's happening is that the user fills out a form in the HTML Viewer, then when they click the submit button I want to be notified of the page change.
If they land on URL A, then they'll be shown one message. If they land on URL B, they'll be shown another.
However, the event isn't firing.
I've also tried COMPLETE and HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE.

I'm building an application which will have a control to play, pause, step forward & step back through different versions of my visualisation - like the controls on your tape deck, but moving my visualisations through time, instead of that battered old Simon & Garfunkel recording.
I would have thought that my various animations would listen out for a particular event which fires on each 'beat' and tells it the time currently on the time line. My 'play' button then kicks off some code which causes one of these 'beat' events to be fired every second (or 5 seconds, depending on the speed selected). The 'step forward' button would cause a single event to be fired, and so on.
Assuming my design makes sense, I'm not clear how I would generate those events at regular intervals. Alternatively, my design might not make sense or be the most effective one for the job.
How can I control the playing time of an external mp3 using actionscript ?
I need to only play a 10 second clip of this sound file so how can I control the length of play time?[code]...
What I'm trying to accomplish is creating faux control ability. It just needs to look like there's user input.The specifics:to the right of the screen is a window with 6 tabs that you can drag. I want the window above the tabs to have green bars that increase vertically as you drag up and decrease as you drag down. I thought I would be able to asign variables of position1, ""2, ""3, etc. Then set up a <= if then statement to say:if tab1_mc is less than 280 px for it's _y then tell greenbar1_mc to gotoAndStop(3);That didn't work, so, I figured I could just forget the var's and set up some AS that can constantly get the value of the tab1_mc's _y and then go through an if then AS that would tell the greenbar1_mc to gotoAndStop(respective frame);

View 1 RepliesIn a CS3/As3 project I have xml files with html content loaded in a texfiled inside a mc. In some cases I have swf files embedded with img tag in the xml. The problem is that when a swf is loaded this way It keeps 'living', playing with sounds in the background when other xml files and swf are loaded in the texfiled. Then, every time it is loaded, a new instance of the swf is created and played.I have found out you can refer to the loader object with getImageReference method giving an id to img tag and, for example, adding an Event.COMPLETE listener to the loader. But I don't know how to access to the loaded swf to unload it or at least stop it (mc_name.texfiled_name.swf_id doesn't seem to work in AS3)Does anybody know if it is possible?
View 7 RepliesI am using an embedded flash movie in my web page. I would like to show some alerts on the page when the movie has played for x seconds, pause the movie while the user views and dismisses the alert and start playing the movie again after that (or the user can press the play button, not important). The important parts being - the app being able to find out if x secs worth of movie has played, pausing the movie then and showing an alert. Is this possible using a php/javascript code within the web page? Or will I have to do this within the flash movie itself?
