I have a flash piece that contains a short intro animation and then loads a photo carousel.After a user has entered the site and viewed the home page information including the opening intro , i want to make settings so that when user goes back to the home page during the same visit he/she doesn�t have to wait for the logo intro to load.

View 9 RepliesThe code that u have recommended is not working properly... What i meant is that the function of the back button is to navigate where the users has last viewed the webpages..
View 1 RepliesIf I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
View 3 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#");}
I have a movie clip that I imported into flash, used a skin and have a nice little player for this website intro. I want to proceed to the sites home page upon completion of the movie. Searched but the best I could come up with was;
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) { trace("doneVideo");new URLRequest("my link");});
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?

On PC, this works just fine every time.

how do I store and retrieve rather large multi-lined texts blocks that contain hard returns in a url or embed code?
Hah, yeah, probably a ridiculous request but this is used in a flash/custom BBcode partnership. The idea being that the user posts on the bulletin board and wraps their text in [customtag][/customtag]. It spits that information out as an embed code with the text stored as a variable that calls the flash applet and displays their post in a fancy way. This is for a browser based game so it's basically for admin's to post RP style messages.
I am creating an ebrochure, where in my timeline i have three layers: top bar (for my glossary and help buttons), nav bar (with my prev and next buttons) and the pages of the brochure.
The pages consist of each frame having a movieclip for that page, so frame one has page one movieclip, etc... and are all individual frames.
The top bar layer spans the entire set of page frames (14) as does the nav bar, but I have the glossary and help on frames after the pages end. What I am trying to do is that when someone clicks to go to the glossary from where ever they currently are, the prev button on the nav bar that is over the glossary page can take me back to the last page I was on. So, if on page 4 and click to go to glossary, prev takes me back to page 4. But if i am on page 7, prev takes me back to page 7.
My SWF contains a combobox that functions as expected when it is viewed alone. But when this same SWF is loaded into a 'container' SWF the combobox no longer works.
The container SWF uses AS3, and the SWF that is being loaded into it uses AS2. Could this be the problem?
I was using a friends iphone the other day to view my site, I have a flash banner at the top of my site.

That way I could display a image instead, Pls don't just say remove the banner, I like it and i want to keep it. (it looks good when its not being viewed on a iphone).

I'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 am currently building an assessment in flash using AS3. I want to have all navigation buttons visible on the main screen, including the "assessment" button where users will go to sit an assessment based on the content they just viewed.
how can I lock the assessment button until all the other pages containing the content has been viewed? A bonus would be a pop saying something like "Please view content first" appearing when they try to click it.
But on this occasion I have created an assessment in AS2 and I want my "Take Assessment" Btn disabled until the rest of the content has been viewed. If someone clicked on the Assessment button before it is viewed it would be good to have a message pop up saying "content must be viewed first" or something like that. How do I do this?I have the content set up in scenes.

View 1 RepliesI have figured out how to duck out of enemy site. I need to know if i can have two layers running the same thing at the same time, but only one is viewed and you use the spacebar to switch between the ones being viewed. For example one layer is a person ducked behind a box and getting shot at and the other is a person standing in the open getting shot at, to switch from the ducked to the standing you have to use the spacebar. Is this possible?

The .swfs that make up this website were originally made by somebody else who has asked me to help them get the site working online the way they intended. The main problem I'm having now is making this white space (that appears briefly in shape of .swf's dimensions) go away. The flash projects for the swfs do not even have a white background, neither do the HTML documents. Deadline for solving this problem is early tomorrow and I am stumped. This even happens with tiny, 40kb swfs with preloaders (I thought reducing swf sizes, adding preloaders might solve problem somehow)
Having spent ages finally getting an active/viewed button script to work, I thought all I had to do to complete things was add the button actions (I want each button to load an external swf). For some reason, this is then preventing the above working as it should. I suspect it's obvious to someone who understands this stuff, but I've got things working so far through a mixture of copy/paste and trial&error, and I've got completely stuck at this last hurdle.
[Code]...
I think this may have something to do with the order it's all in, and I suspect having most of the above commands in a for / if loop might not support me adding additional actions afterwards which may overrule the other ones.without anyone else wasting too much time, if anyone can see the (presumably obvious to some people) mistake I'm making in the above, please let me know!
The question I have today is concerning a design of a Flash Website. Is there any certain way you will need to design a flash site so it can be viewd over cell phone with web access. The reason I'm asking is that I have a friend that say he can view some flash site and some he can't. So I'm thinking tat must have something to do with the way the site is designed.
View 1 RepliesMy first time making anything in flash, so go easy on me. I made a set of navigation buttons for a website I'm building for a friend of mine.
When I make it in Flash, everything looks perfect. When I save it as a movie and run on my computer (in Flash Player 6), it still looks perfect. But when I put it on my website, the "M" in "HOME" gets distorted (on all browsers). See here: [URL]

I'm having timing problems with a music video I am working on. The framerate it 24fps which for a 22 second animation should give me 528 frames. However, In the preview of the slides the 22 second mark on the sound is reached by about 310 frames. What's more, the 22 second point in the sound is reached at a later time in an exported swf movie, but still not 528 or 310. Why is the timing different in all viewing modes, which one should I use to time my video or how can I set them to all display the video at the correct timing?
