ActionScript 2.0 :: Prevent Flash Movie From Reloading
Oct 23, 2003
I don't want to resort to frames so I'm wondering if this is possible. I have an expanding menu on a php page, when user clicks on one of the menu items and the page reloads, the flash movie gets reload as well. I would like to keep it open to where it was, even if it reloads. I'm using a modified version of Senoculars accordion menu and I thought the best way would be to pass a variable to the flash movie that tells it which menu the user clicked and so expand that menu.

how I can prevent flash from reloading when my page is refreshed? When I user clicks the search button the whole page reloads with the data they were looking for but the flash animation at the top of the page also reloads and I would like to prevent this.
I did a simple full flash website, but my boss wants to separate the things out, he wants the button on top to be FLASH, and the content below all in HTML format. The problem is in the full flash site I made when you click button on top example: (chemical) you'll notice that the pressed button is being highlighted with a gray color so the users knows where they are, but when i tried to separate the button part i notice the gray highlight didnt stay to where it should be when the button is pressed. how to prevent the flash for being reloaded when the whole page reloads or any alternative to do this.
I've seen a site a while back that as you went through it it would change the url without reloading the page/swf. I want to know how do you build a Flash banner and buttons and as they the movie plays or they click on buttons have it change the url and the html text but leave the swf playing? Can this be achieved without too much hassle or will it require advanced coding?
I am making a Flash website. I click on a link,... lets say 'Contact' The 'Contact' page opens. I click on 'Contact' again while it's open,... It opens again. I need to know how to prevent the link from reloading each time you click it

I have a 2.3mb flash movie that appears in the header for every page in my web site. It's a design that I've already compressed by 20% and I am sort of stuck at this size. How can I tell flash to look to see if it's already loaded and just begin to play/loop it at the end. I am a relative newb and think that "gotoandplay' or 'gotoandstop" could work but I'm lost on coding in Flash or Dreamweaver itself?
I have a Flash game that runs fine, and if the player loses he can retry by clicking the retry button. For some reason I have listeners from previous scenes that won't go away, or are malfunctioning, when the user hits retry and the game and starts back at frame one in the first scene (the actual game is at scene 2 but the retry takes them to scene 1). Is there a way that I can reload the whole movie so previous data won't show up when the player restarts the game? I am kind of looking for a "refresh movie" script for the .swf file.
I'm a newbie at Flash, so started playing with a pretty standard code sample: one layer contains a movie clip with a flying rectangle, another layer has a button to control it. All script code is in Main.as file. The rectangle was named square1 through the Property window. Here is the problem: the constructor for Main has a line: square1.stop(); to prevent clip from playing, but it doesn't help - it plays. I know the constructor fires, because it has trace("stuff") in it. The code does check that the stage has been created.
What strange is that square1.currentFrame always returns 1, and square1.totalFrames returns 1 as well. The layer has 24 frames on the timeline. I tried a tween with just 2 keyframes, then converted whole tween into frames - same result. I mean, the thing is flying before my eyes, how can it be 1 frame???
I even added a listener: square1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrameChange); The event fires all the time, i.e. the frames change, but currentFrame is still 1. Also, tried to name individual frames and use square1.gotoAndStop("begin") and stuff like that. I am really stuck with this stupid problem.
I made a gallery with an XML file but the problem is that after viewing it on the web and modifying the XML I don't see any difference...it's like I never even modified it...I'm guessing it's because the browser reads the XML file from the cache...how can I make the flash movie read the XML from the web every time it loads?
I have a flash banner on every page in my site. I want it to continue playing rather than reloading when users change pages. Ive read that this can be achieved using flashvars.
I have this on frame 1 of my fla file now: var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("displayCookie"); if(mySharedObject.data.displayed == true){ gotoAndPlay(currentFrame); trace("cookie found"); [Code] ....
But I don't know how to give the currentFrame the value it had at the time the page was refreshed. How do I put that in there?
I am using a flash swf from the website[url]...where it allows me to upload images via an xml file to the flash movie. However the flash movie is changing the mouse cursor to hand-cursor when passing the mouse on it, and also it is allowing users to click on the movie, while I wanted to leave the mouse cursor to remain as an arrow, and prevent users from clicking on it, I tried the following code, whereby I used another flash movie to call the dewslider swf, but in IE it is not working, although in firefox it is ok..[code]...
I'm having an odd issue with reloading SWFS. I start of with loading my SWF:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "RegionalIntro.swf" ); req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; req.data = true; // POST requests require non-null data
[Code]....
What I can't work out is why that works the first time, but when it's reloaded it doesn't work?
EDIT2: The plot thickens, I can catch the error by surrounding all of the code in the function at the top of the stack trace with a try/catch block. I trace the error and its the same, the weird thing is all the code executes as expected. All works fine and throws an error ... very odd! I'd hate to leave it like this without finding out why it's doing it though ...
show flash object in a popup, without copying DOM "object"? I need same instance of flash in the popup.
I guess something similar Stop reloading flash file when using show and hide methods, but I really haven't found yet any good solution for popuping in that case.
i have 1 PHP page in which i have a Flash animation. this flash swf file, display 2 fields and 1 button.
this php page is called "test.php".
i'm able to send data from Flash to a PHP page, but i would like to send the content of those 2 fields to the "test.php" and display them. however, i do not know how to do it.
i see that it works but i'm not able to display or refresh the PHp page to display the result.
as walkaround i was thinking to collect the webpage address where is executed the flash and to send it to another PHP page. and this 2nd PHP page, will reload the test.php with parameters...
but once again, how to get under flash, the address of the actual executed php page ?
i have searched a lot but could not find the exact way to do this. you will understand better if you will look once this page. freescale. open this in IE.Here is my scenario... click om power Actuation present in leftnav under Analog & Power Management. you will get result table and above that i have a container which shows different filter criteria. now find a filterable header(match header name with filter header) that is out of the screen fold to the right.then Choose a value for filter exercise, filter by it. now here my problem arises after reloading the results, the table-view comes back to it's starting position, which creates the confusion to end user about the results.
Is-there a joomla compenent that permits to integrate a flash SWF on a joomla website : without realoding it for each page (by using an IFRAME or anything else
I'm wondering if it's possible to access a shared object's data (once it's been changed) without reloading the swf. Specifically, I have two swfs: one changes the data in the so and lets the second swf "know" via a localconnection. I have a function in the second swf that fires via the local connection.[code]This function looks for the new value however it doesn't show the updated value in my textfield unless I refresh the browser. Thoughts?
I know there were many messages posted regarding sending variables from flash to php. I wrote a small code where in I used send() method of LoadVar object, it sends the message but it reloads the php page which I do not want it to do. I tried using sendAndLoad() and here it does not send any variable at all. Below is my sample code.

On my stage I have generated a series of Movie Clips at runtime. They drift around in a semi-random motion, causing them to occasionally overlap each other - is there any way of preventing them from doing this?
I'm loading in a .swf file using loadMovie(), but the .swf being loaded has a fscommand("fullscreen", true); command on it's first frame and it's forcing my main file to launch fullscreen too.
I don't have the original file so I can't remove the fullscreen command.
Version Used:Flash MX 2004 I am trying to generate a Page with 3 paragraphs,each text paragraph with some custom animation attached to every character.What i Did was:
1.Open a new document
2.Create a Dynamic Text Box,named it "letter_txt" for the instance name.
3.Converted this to a Movie Clip and named that instance "letter_mc".
4.Converted "letter_mc" into another movie clip "text_mc"
5.Went to editing mode and used some tweened animation on "letter_mc"
I followed steps 2-5 and created two other movie clips with "text2_mc"->"letter2_mc"->"letter2_txt" and similarly with "text3_mc"->...I followed nearly the same procedure as shown in [URL]
here's what i did in frame 1:
// -----------FRAME 1----------------- myText="Top Cat! The most effectual Top Cat! Who's intellectual close friends get to call him T.C., providing it's with dignity. Top Cat! The indisputable leader of the gang. He's the boss, he's a pip, he's the championship. He's the most tip top, Top Cat.";
[code]....
The animation in My first Paragraph i suppose should be able to swivel ,but There is something unexpected about them.Also all the letters start disappearing at the start of the next "paragraph".I am very new to ActionScript and Flash.I tweaked the code a bit from the one given since I do not see how a movie clip "mcLetter" can have an attribute "text".
How do you play the audio seamlessly in flash, while reloading each page? Example is the nike blog, [URL] Will be glad if anyone could point me to a tutorial or there is a existing workaround script for this.
I have a site the runs in flash. IE7 will not reload the vars in flash, the vars set by flash in the swf. when the page is reloaded. The thing that bugs me out is refreshing the page actually refreshed the page. The flash started how it was supposed to except the variables in flash didn't reset.This only happens when the "Temporary Internet Files" settings in IE is set to "automatic". But works how it should when "Everytime I visit The Page" is checked.
my website has a flash menu that is a little bit annoying to see reloading everytime people hit a button. So i would like to set the buttons action to send a javascript variable or something like that. This way the html content, above the flash could change with a javascript include which would use this variable to know what page should be included... something like that. I don't know how to do this (flash to javascript and the use the variable to include a page content)
