ActionScript 2.0 :: Screensaver That Starts When No Mouse Activity?
May 6, 2003
I have a very large projector movie with many loaded in swf files. I want to make it so as you are reading and viewing the whole movie the screensaver is not active. I then want it so after 10 minutes of no activity a screensaver (or movieclip in the movie) starts playing and then goes away when there is activity again. How do I do this? What would be the best way... just have the screensaver (movieclip) the only thing in the first scene and it just goes to this after 10 minutes?
I'm basically looking to create a screensaver within the flash file i'm using. So if the person doesn't move the mouse for say a minute, actionscript will detect this and play a movie ( screensaver type one )It's within a digital application and the client wants a built in one rather than making a proper one.
I have an invisible movieclip over some buttons/images. I have it so that on mouse over that invisible button the images start panning from one to the next. The thing is that these images/buttons are supposed to be clickable, but with the invisible movieclip on top I just can't do that. Is there a way to force mouse activity on the buttons/images?
I've tried simply adding a movieclip to the back of the buttons/images and make the MOUSE_OVER listener on the whole movieclip that holds all the images but for some reason whenever the mouse goes from one image to the next it pauses the movement and then continues it, which looks like it identifies different movieclips (images/buttons AND the mc in the back) and re-does the MOUSE_OVER listener for each of them instead of the whole movieclip that holds all of them.

I would like to create some text on the stage that does not respond to mouse activity. I've found that after adding a piece of text to a class I am using to draw, it covers up some of the mousing area of my class and disables the user from being able to roll over the other graphical elements...
Is there something like:
var t:TextField = new TextField(); t.text = "hello"; t.active = false; //
i know that this is wrong, but I haven't found an equivalent method

I was wondering if anyone knew how I would go about making the following animation (just an example) start after the mouse has been inactive for, say, 20secs.
I need to set a mouse-controlled scrolling animation to ease when it starts and when it stops in AS2. Here's my current onEnterFrame script. Might be a little crude, but it succeeds in starting and stopping the animation when the mouse rolls off the movie. Moves left on one side and right on the other. I just want the starting and stopping to be eased a bit.
What I'm wanting to do for my web site is do a animation on a button so that when the mouse cursor is over it a drop down list animation starts revealing more buttons. How would I go about doing this using Action script in the noobiest terms possible?
I've got a site that is using loadSound to play some mp3s and it works fine. however, the sound starts to stream, and then replays itself like a second later. my guess is that its playing faster than the load is going and when it gets to the point where it hasn't loaded enough, it starts to replay it, but i'm not sure that that is the exact problem. my code:
[Code]...
now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).
i did a search on google to try to convert swf to scr but all i can find is software that you have to pay $40 for. Screensavers are silly little things so I'm not really interested in shelling out $40 for em. does anyone know of a free conversion tool or trick that you can do to get windows xp to play a screensaver from an swf file?
I was asked to create a screensaver capable to run on both win and mac. I am ActionScript developer, so I prefer to solve this using Flash/SWF. I know this is possible using several tools:Projectors such as Zinc or SWF Studio (os independent, $$$)Converters creating screensavers that use the Flash Player (one converter per os necessary, requires Flash Player on user machine, freeware)Adobe Air created screensavers (os independent, requires Air on user machine, no costs)I do not have control over the machines the screensaver will run. So everything needs to be simple and safe. I would go for option 2, but I am not sure if the tools I discovered are reliable.What tool you recommend to create the screensaver descibed using existing SWF files?Is there another (single) tool to create the screensaver without using Flash/AS/SWF?
ive made a screensaver for work, and i was wondering if anyone could help, basically ive set it up with 2 scenes first scene u enter the details of a pc, memory processor hdd, etc, then on scene 2 with the help of a chatbox it sends the text from scene 1 over to scene 2, now my problem is everytime i switch the pc off, i then have to re-enter the data, is there any way of saving the data so when the movie is clicked on it comes up as a default with the data from the last input??? or can i save the text, and open it in the flash movie??
I have been asked to create a screensaver that will show a different movie/message all week, then at the end of the week I would need to have it revert back and do the same all over.All 7 movies (one for each day of the week) will be located inside the SWF file, I just need to know if it's possible for the movies to change over with the computers time and date.
I've been trying to create a screensaver that dynamically loads images and text from a server, but it seems like I am not able to load anything outside of my own computer at all.It seems like the problem is coming from the Security Sandbox, the sandbox type for the screensaver stays "Local_with_file" meaning it can access local files but cannot access files from the network. What can I do to make the Sandbox "Local_with_network" as I do not need to load anything locally, but images and text from a server.
I'm trying to imitate screensaver behavior using the timer class. A movie clip should play after 5 seconds of not being idle. The problem is everytime I go to the homepage, the timers stack and the adspace runs multiple times. (try switching between button 1 and 2 over and over) timer.reset(); doesn't seem to work for me. Here is my code and FLA file:

I am currently trying to create a kind of 'screensaver' effect in one of my Flash movies, and I have the following code which counts down from ten to zero:
The problem I am having is finding the right code to use to RESET this countdown back to ten if the user moves the mouse, clicks a button, presses a keyboard button, etc.
I am making a fullscreen "screensaver" project (using screentime, FYI). I have some mcs on the stage that I want to scoot down to the bottom left, right or whatever on the screen. I want these elements to position themselves differently based on the users resolution and aspect ratio of their monitor. (for example: whether the monitor is 800x600, 4:3 OR 1366x768, 16:9, I want a text field or mc to be 10 pixels for the bottom and left of the screen).
Please provide the feature to disable the system screensaver & power saving features while a video object is currently playing a video. I get this request all the time when developing video players and now that the netflix player provides this feature it is becoming a must have in the online video market. If you know other solution which does not require .net, silverlight , or any other browser plugin besides flash please let me know.
I have noticed that mi screensaver doesn't start while I'm watching videos on YouTube.I'm using Windows 7.This is the test:Set Windows screensaver to 1 minute.Browse to YouTube and play a video longer than 1 minute; ideally much longer.Note that your screensaver doesn't come up after the specified time (1 minute).I've tested using Firefox, Chrome and IE8. My Flash Player version is 10.3. (Youtube is using flash to play the videos). The same happens whether I watch the video in full-screen or not.
im making an image recignition app. for a kiosk and im trying to figure out a way to make the movie start over if it hasnt been touched after a certain amount of time. i tried to use a timer class but it doesnt seem to be working the way i want it to.
Anyone know of any code I can add to my project to keep a log of how many times a button is pressed? Ideally it would write to the disk with date/time stamp.
Why setloopback needs to be set to true for microphone activity to be detected. The problem is the echo feedback when using a macbook with a built in mic. Right now I'm experimenting with toggling gain, depending on activity to simulate echo reduction. Not optimal though.
Get all URLRequests() that are made within the application? Get all RTMP:// connections to a Flash Media server?
Since my application contains SWC files which were compiled by another developer, I cannot directly access the ActionScript which creates the URL requests and RTMP connections.
