There are 3 flv movie in my flash page. Is there a way to indicate in my flash page if the flv movie is already viewed on user's browser? I need to put a mark on the movie if one of them is already viewed? Am I to use Shared Object?
View 4 RepliesI've got a SWF that calls up external swfs via XML. Users are able to navigate to each external swf using a next button. When a user views the external swf, I need to mark it as 'viewed'. This way, if the user leaves the site prior to seeing all swfs, they can come back and start where they left off and view only the swfs they haven't seen.
What is the best method for setting this up? Array? Somehow parsing the XML file?
I've been creating this banner: [url removed] which accesses an xml document, replaces some texts etc, but as soon as you open it up in a browser (like with the dropbox link I pasted) the banner only loops on the first movie clip. Put in another way: The banner you see is looping through only the first movie clip. But the swf file (and the html file) work fine from the local path of my computer.
View 1 RepliesI have created a fla file in adobe flash cs3. This contains a mainstage with a menu (is a movieclip) and a background (actionscript gradient). I have set the movie to scale so that when it is viewed in a browser it will be adjusted to the size of that window.
My problem or what I want is the following :
- The menu and text of that menu must stay the same size, as created in the fla file, when a scale is done.
- The content of the movie(not the menu) must stay in proportion.
An example site that I found, that demonstrates what I want is [URL]. You can change the browser window size and the menu text size stays the same but the content goes in proportion of the window size.
There is a thin border at the top and left margins of my Flash movie when the .html is viewed in a browser. How can it be removed?Here's the movie.One solution suggests replacing some code, but the code they suggest replacing doesn't even exist in my html file.I have found questions similar to mine being asked all over different forums, but their solutions either don't work, or like the above, don't really apply. For such a common problem, finding the solution is getting a little frustrating.
View 1 RepliesI have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
For long time i try to smooth things in my code, but never get this work right :/ Example: I have one movie clip in myspace (this movieclip have a bitmap image inside)... WHY i can't use: mcHeader.smoothing = true; Why this not work? How can i do this right? I try to mark the option "cache as bitmap" in the movie clip and not work too... I need to use rotation in the mc without distortion in the image.
View 6 RepliesI have an array that basically calls out numbers for a gotoAndStop action. We have external swfs that get loaded in. Each slide is its own frame in the external swf and they want the flexibility to remove slides at the last minute so my array looks like this:
Code:
var myDocs:Array = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", "22"];
var i:Number = 0;
There are going to be a lot of sections with a varied number of slides and I am looking for a simple code I can attach to the navigation that basically says:
Code:
on (release) {
if (you have not reached the end of the array);{
++i;
gotoAndStop(myDocs[i]);}
}
Is there a code out there that doesn't require you to put specific number values in? like "if (i<22)"?
On the site we need to implement a mark on the photograph. By type as in facebook. It is desirable but not necessary that the selection of the object was not the rectangle, and polygon. There is a ready-realization? It does not matter what technology to use php, flash, and other, exotic but not necessary:)
View 3 Repliesive been trying to get swfaddress working. And everything works fine ( the getValue function shows the right content, setTitle does its job etc ) except for setValue. When i set it to for instance setValue("news"), the url in the browser is updated to index.html?#news
that question mark shouldn't be there i guess... it also reloads my page every time. I have no idea where to start looking as i dont know what's causing it. anyone else had this issue before ?
How do we make an entire block of code (maybe 10 lines) as comment.
Maybe just to deactivate a code block when trouble shooting AS code.
See [URL] looking carefully, youll see this code is supose to add two check marks, both of which are in the libary. they are supose to appear at seprate places.

is it possible to mark parameters as private, only accessible/useful for the class that owns the function?

rather than redirecting, is there any better way to dealing with this issue? maybe "better way" is a poor choice of words. is there a way to refactor this code without using a forwarding function or having to force the user to include the event parameter.

I've made a .swf object in flash and I've used dynamic text and embedded all the english characters. However, when the .swf is viewed on a web page, the does not show up.It is there though, because if you select all the text and paste it elsewhere, it is there.

View 2 RepliesI have had a website that has been up and successfully running for about a year now. Admittedly, it's a little buggy here and there, however - I have not had too many issues with it to date. Recently, however, I updated the main / root .swf slightly - just changed some copy, and added a slide or two throughout. When visiting the site, this main .swf dynamically loads any content .swfs required - the html, and these .swfs were not touched.
Upon uploading the new main .swf only - everything works fun, until it loads one of the content .swfs - this always loads in the top left of the browser, rather than the center top of the browser.

I am using a php mp3 handler script that I use as a parameter,but it seems to mess everything up just because there is a question mark after .php for my get variables. If I remove the question mark (mp3_handler.php?), the player appears, but with the question mark, it shows up as a text box. The first player works fine. The second just appears as a textbox in IE.The second however works in every other browser!!!
UPDATE: IT SEEMS TO BE THE second QUESTION MARK, but I do not see a way around this.. Oddly enough, the first question mark does not make a difference

View 1 RepliesI have built a pre-loader from tutorials that seems to work well except that you can't see it until it hits about 8o% loaded.
this is the code for frame 1 of my movie. (loading is a text box that shows the percentage as it loads)
ActionScript Code:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function(){
var percentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
[Code].....
why the screen stays blank up until until that 8o% mark when it seems like the whole frame(preloader) loads?

I'm making a blog/journal in flash that I will manually update, and there will be a list of entries in a menu. I would like the newer entries tinted red so they are obviously new at a glance. I would like them to stay red for a week, then automatically remove the tint.
So I'm guessing that when I manually update the entry, I could just plug in the current date into a field in the AS, and it would use the computers clock to find out if a week had passed or not.

I downloaded CS4 and created several projects, but then the 30 day trial period ended. When I opened up my licensed CS3, and tried to open the projects I created in CS4, they didn't open.I don't understand why Adobe would do this, unless they didn't, ? I can't believe it is not backward compatible?
View 10 RepliesI am trying to use the getURL function to open a new window with a variable URL, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want it to. Here is the code i am using:
on (release) {
getURL("popup.htm?/projects/"+_root.foldername+"/"+_root.projname+"_1highres.jpg", "_blank")
}
The problem appears to be the question mark. If I remove the question mark it works fine.. but I need to use the question mark because the rest of the info is just information I am having popup.htm interpret
Actionsctipt code:
on(press)
{
getURL(escape("address.html?0"));
}
This works absolutely fine in Internet Explorer but in Chrome in the question mark is obviously made into "%3F". how I can stop this from happening and still keep it compatible with IE and other popular browsers?
