recommend a tutorial or guide to heavily customizing the MediaController component? Customizing components at the level my group is looking at for a project we have is way beyond what we've done before.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to change the text color in the list component? Would it be done in action scripting or in the xlm?
View 4 RepliesI know, every class needs a constructor. But, in the book there's a practical tutorial of a media player to demonstrate all of the concepts of OOP. So the author first created a class called MediaController and then another class called FLVController which extends MediaController. In the FLVController the author did not include a constructor function, instead he has just overridden some of the MediaController class. Actually, I never knew this is possible... but in this case, does FLVController use the constructor of MediaController? what if both class should be constructed differently, does that mean I have to include a constructor in FLVController as well or override it in some way?
View 2 Repliesi am working on a slide presentation, with audio commentary. There are several swf's each with a separate mp3, which i am playing with media controller. I am loading each swf file on a base swf. Problem is the sound of a particular swf doesn't stop even when it's swf is unloaded. So when the next file is loaded, two simultaneous audio tracks can be heard.
i tried putting stopallsounds on the button which loads the next swf, but it doesn't work either.
I am an action script novice, however I have just created my own custom load bar and scrubber for the flvplayback component using a tutorial but the code didnt work. I also tried this code given to me:

I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

View 1 Repliesoriginal: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:

how to go about customizing the title bar of a swf or exe published out of Flash. Instead of it saying "Macromedia Player 6" I would like to have my own icon and the title bar read "My Movie"? I have seen it done but can't seem to find anything in the help files of MX on how to do this.

View 1 RepliesI'm using FlepStudio's RSS Flash widget to provide a feed from a blog. Whilst I have everything working properly i'm having problems customizing it.

View 2 RepliesI have my scrollpane all set up and ready to go, but I would really like to set the scrollbar to a specific height--one much smaller than the scrollpane. I'm using as3 in cs3. The name of my scrollpane is "scrollpaneabout."
import fl.containers.BaseScrollPane;
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
import fl.controls.ScrollBar;
scrollpaneabout.source = scrollcontentabout;
scrollpaneabout.setSize(570,260)
scrollpaneabout.addEventListener(Event.ADDED,spCom plete);
function spComplete(event:Event):void {
scrollpaneabout.verticalScrollBar.x=-54.5;
scrollpaneabout.verticalScrollBar.height=80;
scrollpaneabout.verticalScrollBar.y=50;
}
However, the height property has no effect.
I've purchased a flash template with an xml file that gives the path to the content to the .swf. This much i know! Also, I have all the source files! My issue is i would like to replace some of the images with video clips.
Here is the flash site (demo stock version) : http://oliviersaut.com/site_flash/[/URL]Here is the original version of the xml file: http://oliviersaut.com/site_flash/tfile_main.xml
As you can see with the flash site there are 4 sides, i would like to add videos thumbs (these i can make screen shots) on the left hand side that says "BEDROOM". Then once you've clicked the video thumb the video is displayed in the middle like the photos. Do i have to alter the original .FLA file to add .mov or other video formats into the center area that displays the full image of the small thumbs? the size is 788px by 524px.
Furthermore, Scrolling half way down the xml page you will find [I]<page name="GALLERY">[/I] and then <image imageUrl="_pic3.jpg" link="http://www.yourcompany.com"/> is there xml code that i can add to put in the video?
Also, here i can change the photos but it seems only in this exact order. If i remove a line or add more photos to the sequence the order does not correspond when i refresh the .swf file.
PS. I've also attached the xml file to this post.
I recently completed a tutorial on Adobe's web site on how to create pop-up browser windows through Flash using the getURL/navigateToURL with JavaScript method. The tutorial works great, however, there are a few tweaks I'd like to make, and I'm sure not sure how to go about doing them. The tutorial shows how to make a pop up without scrollbars or the toolbar, but I'd also like the location bar, menubar, and status bar to disappear as well.

I'm trying to find a clear and concise book or online referece that can assist me in customizing the components that come with FMX04.Namely the label component. I know how to change the "halo" theme in general to get the buttons and text boxes to change color, but beyond that I am at a lost.
I have tried Macromedia, searched here/Flash Kit/google, but nothing that I can learn from. Live Docs has a feedback part where someone posted some code and while I can cut and paste it, I'm not completely sure how it all worked.

View 1 RepliesHere's what I want to do:
1. Make a specific pixel area where the image is saved from.
2. Remove the choice for image and saving.., ONLY allow save in JPG and Open in browser.
(not as important, yet) 3. I'm trying to import a supplementary movie clip into this file, but it gives me error messages...not sure where to start figuring that out.
I used the "Kirupa xml slide show" for AS2, and added a fake zoom effect, where I actually on click swap the image for the larger version of the same image that visitor can drag around and inspect upclose. One last thing that doesn't work is that when initially the page loads, the larger image in the background shows up behind the smaller one, and I want it turned off. Once you start clicking, the two images hide and reveal perfectly, but not at first. [URL]

A friend of mine gave me this template that she want me to edit (change color etc) but when I try to export it, it gives me this error 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before 21431. (13 times - on every as file it loads from) 21431 = the name of the .fla file, also there's a folder called "21431_fla" where it loads a bunch of as files from. When I choose "Go to source" on one of the errors in the compiler it opens up a file (i.e. AboutPageContents_35.as) from the 21431_fla folder - and I guess the error comes from (and I did some searching on the web regarding this) it starting with the line;
ActionScript Code: package 21431_fla As I understand it reports the error because you can not load a package that starts with a number? I haven't change any code, so I'm curious how it could work before I edited the colors? And how do I fix it so it works I post a .zip file so you guys could check it out; [URL]
I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?
Is there a way to disable the hover effects?I don't want flex to highlight the entire component for both link buttons and menu bar.On the menubar, I applied a backgroundSkin, so having flex highlight the whole menubar when the user hovers their mouse on top quitely destroys the design.
