ActionScript 2.0 :: Set Timeout On Load To External Link
Nov 23, 2009
I am currently checking if something is true or false at an external link. What I want to do is, integrate a "failsafe" function, so if the external link should be down I'll display something special. I'm not sure how to do this, but what I had in mind was to define x amount of seconds and if nothing has been received by that time, terminate the call to the link and do something else.
What I currently have is:
ActionScript Code:
var loadContainer:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadContainer.onData = function(resp:String){
if(resp.indexOf("true")!=-1){
//true
} else {
//false
}}
loadContainer.load("[URL]")
I'm trying to load a bunch of external images, and then print them all in the same PrintJob. For testing i tried 40 images at around 599kb. I load all images using Loaders and check that all images are fully loaded (by Event.INIT) and put the images in separate Sprites.When this is done i start a new PrintJob, loop throug all my images and add them to the PrintJob, and then PrintJob.send(); At least this is what i want to do. What happens is this:
I bought a third-party image gallery xml driven where images activate html links. I need the image, when pressed, to import an external swf in the same movieclip where the gallery is and not external html links.
here the xml code: <content> <title><![CDATA[<b>title</b>]]></title> <image>images/02.jpg</image>
[Code]....
any image simple recall a html link, while I need to load in the same movieclip an external movieclip.
I am making a flash site where one of my pages loads an external swf. In this external swf I have sub pages with links. My problem is when I visit a page from this external swf, and then go to a page from my main website (clicking my main time line buttons) and then go back to the page with the external swf i was previously on, the page would go to the last page i was on, instead of refreshing it back to the main frame of the external swf.
I made a small, simple example of what I am experiencing on the site I'm working on.
Is there a timeout on the connection made by URLLoader.load? If there is, what's its value, where is it documented and can it be changed? Also, what event (if any) gets dispatched if the timeout occurs? Is there a difference between AIR and browser application in those regard?
I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.
I've re done a couple of pages on my website and as a result of the new design have had to change some of the coding from being on the timeline to being in an external as document linked to my fla. This is significant only because I can link to external pdf.zips no problem on the timeline but I can't seem to translate the code to the external file. Can anyone out there help me out with this (hopefully) simply problem?I'm playing with different variations of this below but I'm constantly getting the 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method navigateToURL.
function onEnglishClick(event:MouseEvent):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.bigredcreativeconcepts.com/UB_Flyer_English.pdf.zip");
I have external JPEGs loading into a container. Can I do something to make those external JPEGs that load into the container have links so when they get clicked they go to a website? I'm using AS 2.
as we are using in html<a href="#one> abc </a>ref. to<a name=one></a>xyzso that when click on abc, goes to text - xyz.in flash (as2)if we have a button (linked with a html file)and on click - we want to open html and go to directly on text - xyzin which way we have to give link on that button.(whats the idea for this)
Just finishing something out and have an XML file that loads info into a Flash file that I'm looking to have a link in. I'm honestly generally pretty much straight up HTML and CSS when it comes to web stuff, but XML seemed to be the way to go in this situation. Just curious how to add a link into the content area here[code]...
I am trying to external .pdf files to my flash file. What I want to do is have the user click a button on a given topic and it opens the .pdf in Acrobat. I know that it can be do because I did it in Actionscript 2.0, I just need to know what the code is in Actionscript 3.0.

Say i have a link, How can i check if its external or not. What i want to do is the following.I have 2 strings: "assets/images/1.jpg" and When the string starts with "http://" it should execute function a. Else it should execute function b.
I followed the tutorial and it works perfect. But I wanna go a step further, how do I link a word in the external text file? It seems that html code <a href="www.me.com">CLICK</a> doesn't show as a link, but exactly as text.
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
I am trying to link some text to an external web site. I am using the following code, but whenever I try to launch the external web site, I get prompted by Adobe Flash Player Security saying that it has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. It then tells me that I need to change my security settings in order to view the website. I am wondering if there is any way around stopping the security check, or is this built into Flash?
Code: var linkLaunch:URLRequest = new URLRequest('content/web/fuel/project/home.html'); navigateToURL(linkLaunch);
I need some code to link a button to an external swf. It seems like an easy thing to do, but I cant find anything on google that directly relates to this issue.(using Actionscript 3.0).
So, I can't remember and it's not working. I basically want to add this to my text file: <a href="[URL]" target="_blank">Go here</a> Which obviously doesn't work. what's the easiest way add HTML tags to a TXT file without changing the way the files being loaded too much?
var filename:String="text/home.txt"; var loaderText:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(filename); function loadFile(filename:String):void { myRequest.url=filename; loaderText.load(myRequest);} loadFile("text/press.txt");
have had some trouble coupla weeks finding answers on this - hope i manage to explain myself to get right answer :-)Have a swf file on a website with buttons which each need to link to lightboxes with same class.Now I have following in flash:
DocButt2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, DocClick2); function DocClick2(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("signup.php?
I have purchased an image gallery program that works fine but I am struggling to make a very minor modification. I have asked the author for assistance but previous requests have met with no response so I am also asking my question here. This program has most of its logic in an external AS2 file. I have made some small changes to this file and want to save it under a new name. However, that would also require me to change the reference to the external AS2 file from within the fla file. That's where my problem lies. I can't find any code in the fla that contains such a reference.
If I try to publish an swf without this file in the required location it causes a compiler error thus proving that there must be a reference somewhere to that file. However, doing a search for this AS2 file in the 'current document' when viewing the fla file in Flash CS4 produces no results. Where else could this reference be hidden?
