ActionScript 2.0 :: Spawning Flash Player To Run SWF?
Dec 8, 2005
I am writing an application at the moment, and am wondering whether it is possible to be able to click on an swf link, but that it spawns up a flash player window to run the swf, and not try running it in internet explorer.
I know I can create a projector, but with most peoples firewalls, this wont allow the exe file to grab the xml files that I am using from my website.
So how can I make Flash player run my app outside of internet explorer, without having to download it first?

i'm trying to achieve an effect in which a triangle movieclip (which expands and then dissolves) respawns itself continuously. I'm hoping to figure out how to tell flash to respawn a new instance of the 15-frame movieclip of the triangle, when the original clip hits frame 5. the next one would do the same, and so on and so forth.My research so far has led me to believe this has something to do with the 'addChild' function but i'm so far unsure of what to do with it

I have made a preloader, and to make the bar appear earlier during the loading process, I made every movie clip except the preloader files have "Export in first frame unchecked." Since I did this, my game doesn't run the movie clips anymore. I had enemy units come across the screen randomly, and now nothing appears at all.

I know how to make a basic jigsaw but at the moment i'm trying to create a map of europe jigsaw. Unfortunately with the map taking up the majority of the room there's no space to have all the pieces on screen at once. I had a look for solutions and i found this... [URL] How would i go about making it so that only 1 piece appears on screen until you have placed it?

I am working on making a Space Invaders clone to practice up my AS3. One of the main things in this project is that I want to make all of the graphics through Actionscript, simply because I have never worked with any sort of object in Flash that way. It's been an interesting challenge so far but I keep getting stumped on firing lasers. From what I can tell I have it semi-working, but when I press Space to fire I get this error:ode:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Laser$iinit()at Ship/::movePlayer()Here are my as files nudge in the right direction.

where each of my buttons have a dynamic text label.
So this button is a symbol, and the instances are named let say btn1, btn2, btn3. The label tag name inside the symbol is btnName.
How I can make this work if I define my array on top level? How I can make sure that the label btnName will have the correct array name for each btn instances?
found out the benefits of .children usage...
btn1.children.btnName = xArray[0];
btn2.children.btnName = xArray[1];

Here is my code:
function createEnemy(event:TimerEvent):void {
var enemyAppear = new MovieClip;
enemyAppear = new Enemy();
enemyAppear.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
enemyAppear.y = 285;
[Code] .....
What I am trying to do is spawn a enemy to stage and when it appears on the stage I would like it to move across the stage a certain distance.
Visual Example:
O = enemy, X = original position, Y = new position
O (Spawns @ Location X) X ---------------------------------------------------------> Y
( Moved from location X to Location Y)

what happens is I have a key, a door and a health bar and an enemy. the enemy takes off some of my health...I pick up the key and it disapears and is added to my inventory. I then us it to open door then my character can move off the screen to the next frame where there is a castle., but my health bar is full again. when I go back into the previous frame the key is back, the door is closed and I cant pass through it again until I pick up the key.
the only way I have found around this is to make sure the objects are in every frame but that only solves a few problems. one of the problems is my health bar always re-plenishes no matter what when going from frame to frame. and I still cant pass thru the door even though its open.

i'm creating an application using AS3.0 and class files. in this application i have a MovieClip in the library i'm using that contains several symbols and configurable textfields and have already defined the functionality for these symbols. my question is, if i'm creating an application and through actionscript and i'm spawning instances of a symbol, do i have to define the functionality and initialize this symbol in the main application class?
specifics: i'm creating a panorama app with markers that are papervision3d planes. they use a movieClip texture that i've created and i want to configure textfields and display pictures that describe the info in the marker. i created a panoApp.as class file that configures the panorama. but i also have a marker.as class that defines the symbol's behavior. this movieclip has symbols in it it's stage that i've defined (ie: name_textfield, description_textfield, etc..) when i compile the project, the compiler errors saying that the variables/identified internal symbols are missing.

So i tried making it with an Array, not sure if it's the best way to do it, because it didn't work out as i wanted The ball's instance name is mcBall, if you need it.

I have a swc plugin embedded in my product to stream live video to a group of recipients.The plugin uses the NetStream, NetGroup and NetConnection objects, the server I use to handle the RTMFP session is Influxis.One client creates a group as a publisher, and stream a live video.His Camera is enabled and I can see the video on the screen as well. The others connect to his group and play the video.Peer assisted Networking is enabled for both the publisher and the recipients.The plugin worked well in all 10.x versions (10.1/10.2/10.3)However, when upgrading to flash player 11.x, it stopped working.
-11.x to 11.x isn't working.
-10.x with 11.x isn't working.
-only 10.x to 10.x is working.
The server I use to handle the RTMFP protocol is Influxis.com I sent them the same question as well.The weirdest fact is that I'm using flash builder 4.6 with 4.6 sdk, which is aimed for flash player 11.1, and it is only working with 10.x flash players.

I'm having a performance problem that seem to be related to Flash Player 11.I noticed this mainly because Chrome auto-updates the flash player. So, it's now up to 11 in Chrome. During a sliding section transition, the flash player chokes and skips about 10-20 frames. In essence the content jumps, not a smooth transitions. You can see this at the following url. Using a browser with 10, plays as intended, a separate browser with 11, chokes and jumps ahead.
firstworldproblems-[url].....I have security sensitive site, that is more elaborate that I can't share here. But, the same issue is happening above.I'm using LoaderMax to load assets. Adding it to the stage and then animating them in from the left or right of the stage, using Tweenmax. The one I can't show is a series of images, 1280x640 pixels, 10 in total.Removing items from the stage when they are not visible, so I can get the CPU usage back. On Flash Player 10, this is working as intended.On 11 it jumps. I don't think it's the removing assets from the stage that's choking the player, because the above link has the same issue.I feel like this is a Flash Player 11 performance issue.

I'm pretty new to Action script and I have a problem here that I can't seem to figure out.
I have this Action Script Code which is attached to a simple movieclip, and it all works IF the general settings are set for Flash Player 6.
It does not work for Flash Player 7 or above, which is probably because this is Actions Script 1 Code...
I attached the .fla file and also here's the code:

In some cases, such as what my client wants - Flash 6 and Flash 7 players behave slightly differently... a very annoying thing at times.Now, what I need to be able to do is to detect what version of Flash Player the user has. This will be done while my flash application is playing and then run the appropriate part of the function I am writing.Any way to detect what version of Flash Player is running from within the Flash Player?

I am trying to make the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE MP# player using the player component preinstalled in flash.It is very simple, the code is as follows:
Code:
on (release) {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
}
("player" is the mp3 component)
This works if I want a single track to be selected and played.Now, I need it to AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THE NEXT TRACK, which I will input in the code.I am thinking something like this:
Code:
player.onSoundComplete = function() {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
};
But this is not working.
PS: I know an XML file would be the best here, but I don't want to use it. I just want to enter the next track's code inside the swf.

I am trying to put together a simple game and have been doing really well until I decided I am going to have to create a new class to handle enemies.What I have so far is a player walking around on random terrains and I am up to the point where I have placed x amount of enemies on stage at appropriate times. I have written their class which will hopefully eventually handle their behavior and it outputs simple trace("BOO!").
Where I face the problem is that I obviously would like to make these enemies follow the player to attack. But when I try to access the .x or .y attributes of the player, it throws an error: 'call to a possibly undefined property with static type Class'?I have tried accessing the .x using the following ways (where badger is my player instance and Main is my class definition within the properties of the FLA):
Main.badger.x
Main(root).badger.x
Stage.badger.x
I have also tried to access other vars and still nope..My class code is this:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.Stage

I would like to know how the following ActionScript, that only works in Flash Player 6, can be updated to work in a Flash Player 10 file.[URL]As it says, "On Publish Settings set Flash Player version on Flash Player 6, or this movie will not work."It works fine published as FP6 but not as FP10 as I need it to be. This AS is added to a movie symbol that contains a button for a rotating menu effect.
onClipEvent (load) {
hx = 300/2;
hy = 400/2;
r = 100;

I'm building a portfolio site. I have buttons to go to previous/next frames and I have all the buttons on the timeline. Each instance is properly labeled and referenced in the actionscript. I get no errors when I publish in 9, but when published in 10 I get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'm not sure why this is happening because there isn't a null reference in my mind. The button which I reference in the code is on that exact same frame. I think the error is that it's looking for the button from the previous frame, which puzzles me because I've moved on to the next frame and I don't know why it'd be trying to reference that. Anyone know of DisplayObject differences from 9 to 10 that would be causing me these troubles?

on publishing some FLA files on FLASH-8, a warning pops up saying the target Flash Player "Flash Player 8"is not installed. The standard Flash Player will be used instead" Flash Player 8 has been installed together with FLASH-8 and it shows up in Currently installed programmes in Control Panel. It is marked as a rarely used programme though I run SWF every day. Another strange thing is that it used to be marked with that FLASH red icon, now it is marked with the folder icon.
Control Panel also shows Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin which I do not recall to installed - probably they came as an upgrade - I wonder if they somehow screen off Flash Player 8?

I have a game that needs to send the number of points a player is awarding to another player to a MySQL database on the same server. This game is part of my psych MSc dissertation, and I've gotten a lot of help on this bit from my department techie who knows php and MySQL well. However, he has absolutely no experience with Flash or Actionscript. He's gotten the php bit working so that it does send data to the right table in the database when it's supposed to using dummy variables, but when we try to test it with the actual .swf thats supposed to be doing the sending, nothing happens. We're pretty sure this means theres something wrong with the actionscript, but we don't know where.
