There are 3 flv movie in my flash page. Is there a way to indicate in my flash page if the flv movie is already viewed on user's browser? I need to put a mark on the movie if one of them is already viewed? Am I to use Shared Object?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to detect end of Flash movie (OOTB, without using some sort of flash callback). Alternatively, is there a way to know the length of the movie? Update: IsPlaying() looked promising (periodically checking it), but as it turns out, nobody is creating straight forward swfs any more; now, the content is embedded in main layer and while the content plays, the main movie is stopped and IsPlaying is always false...
View 3 RepliesSo I did the tutorial about SharedObjects, and I created a login movie which works fine.
My questions are as follows: Can i use a shared object I created in one movie (call it "mycookie") in a separate movie on another page, similar to an HTML cookie? If so, what is the syntax?
I tried reusing the mycookie = SharedObject.getLocal("user_profile")and it didn't seem to work. =(
Also, I know that alternatively I can pass flash variables to the URL with the POST method, but I forget the syntax. Time is of the essence here (project due tomorrow) so I'd really like some help if somebody knows the answer..
I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.
Code: Select allstop();
//1.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,followBall);

Is there a way to detect that uses has closed a browser window movie is located in from the flash itself (not from javascript)
View 1 RepliesI am getting some overlap issues when I'm using the hitTestObject function to determine if I am over a particular target area. Is there anyway I can have the center of my movie clip determine if it's over the target area instead of using the whole clip? I am using:
mc.hitTestObject(targeItem);
It is the "mc" that i would like to use the center point instead of the whole movie clip.
i tried this code
Code:
var cursor:Sprite = new Sprite();
function Test() {
cursor.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900);

I am trying to load an external swf into a target. When the swf is completely loaded, I want to execute the next set of actions. I am trying to develop my flash websites so that no coding is done within the child swfs. So I would assume some code like this would work:
_root.holder.loadMovie ("child.swf");
if(_root.holder.getBytesLoaded ==_root.holder.getBytesTotal){
_execute some other command;
}
However it doesn't work! So is there a way to detect when a specific child swf has fully loaded into a target (not _framesLoaded please!) and then set a variable to allow some other actionscript to kick in?
Ive tried converting the SharedObject tutorial [url...] provided by Adobe from AS2 to AS3. When one client moves the ball, the other client should be able to see the ball moving on another swf, and vice versa.The AS2 one worked fine with my flash media server 3.5 and wampp server on. When I tried the AS3 one, the sharedObject cannot sync, even though the connection was successful and the sharedObject "position" was created in the server.[code]...

View 1 Replies[URL]. Click options, and in the resulting panel you will notice that there is a bunch of different options you can turn on/off/change. How can I use these variables with sharedObjects so that anything the user saves will get saved for the next time they come to visit my site?

is there any way to delete all shared object data for a domain? We used generated names for our swfs and over time it has created enough to reach the 100kb limit for our domain, creating the user prompt. AFAIK, I cannot access the path above catOrgan_3342.swf to clear the other dirs catOrgan_3341.swf catOrgan_3340.swf etc, nor is there a global clear, or a way of enumerating the subdirectories.

I am serving two different swfs that read and write to the same SharedObject variable. The SharedObject variable is a number, and each swf checks that number to make sure it isn't using the same number twice. It then stores the last number it selects. In this way both swfs should never use the same number twice, no matter which order they're loaded.
If I repeatedly load one of the swfs, the never-twice rotation works. However, when switching back and forth between swfs, sometimes the number is repeated. SharedObjects are supposed to be global to the Flash Player, so why would this happen?
Everything dealing with sharedObjects in the first frame is this:
[AS]
var PlannerData:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("PlannerData");
SubjectChoices = PlannerData.data.subjectChoices;
if (SubjectChoices == undefined) {[code]....
Going to the second frame from the first frame, the data is perfect. Going back to the first frame from the second, I'll trace the data many times throughout the code without an onEnterFrame, and it'll tell me that the Array is good...But when I trace the onEnterFrame, it shows the Array is [undefined, undefined, ...] like..undefined 17 times.
I am trying to make a little picture store for my website.I want to store the items in sharedObjects, so the next time people come to my site the selected pictures are there for them.I learned a little bit of sharedObjects and make it work for me with Strings but I can't make it work with and Array.
View 3 RepliesI have a an array of a custom class that I'm trying to store in a SharedObject.Storing is working fine, but when I recall the SO next compile it only returns an array of generic Objects instead of my custom class. This only happens with custom classes.Code excerpt below, this may be way too cut out, but it seems it's what I've narrowed the problem down too.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a project that I think may be more manageable if I break it up into multiple small .swf files rather than having a gargantuan mega .swf.Now, I know that I could use a root .swf and load data from the others, but I think that it'll be a lot easier to debug and update if I'm using separate self-contained .swfs, so this is the direction I'm currently investigating.
However, the .swfs won't really work unless I can have user-data persist between them, so I'm wondering if I can load a SharedObject saved by another .swf file? Are there any important caveats that I need to be aware of?In particular, can anyone give me sample code that would allow me to do this with both an online and offline copy of the files; i.e - if I run the same set of .swfs from haravikk.com, and locally, I want them to still be able to share data with one-another. In this case though I won't need to worry about sharing data between a local copy and [url]..., just so long as the files themselves can pass data within whatever domain they're loaded it should be fine.
So, I'm creating a quiz, and I'm using shared objects to save their resume data. So far so good. MOST of the various things I put into myso.data work fine. But oddly, two bits of information, specifically a String and an Array of Strings come out as [object][Object] when they are reloaded later. Now, at first I thought that maybe they just weren't getting written correctly, so I thought to trace them out before and after I put them in the SO.
When I do trace(myso.data.sectionName) or even trace(myso.data.sectionNamesArray) the first time (i.e. immediately after they get written, but before closing the window) everything works as expected. But if I trace those same things out upon the reopening of the swf, those things become [object][Object] for the String, and an array of [object][Object]s for the Array. So I thought maybe it was Strings in general, but other pieces of information, also Strings or Arrays of Strings trace out fine before and after. It's just these two pieces.
I have an application that uses Remote SharedObjects and I am seeing some strange behaviour. I am writing an ActionScript application in AS3 using Flash Builder and connecting to Wowza Media Server 2. My application is working just fine but I am now trying to write unit tests for it using FlexUnit. My unit tests involve creating multiple connections to the same remote SharedObject and making sure that I am getting updates correctly. Everything seems to be working well except that I am not getting any of the SyncEvent.SYNC events with an info.code of "delete".
When I run my applications independently in separate tabs or even separate swfs embedded in the same page it works fine. For some reason though it does not work when inside a unit test. I have also found that if I load the swfs using a Loader inside the same SWF then I get the same behaviour. It seems to me to be something strange about the way multiples of the same SharedObject behave within the same SWF. I have had to work around other strange behaviour in the unit tests such as oldValues not being set properly in the onSync events too.
I have been working on a game (Pokemon haha) since around the beginning of June. I just started experimenting with Classes today and I've run into some big problems (as expected). I have many SharedObjects in my game and I started the game when I barely understood any code. But I've worked on it a lot and learned so much. Right now, I'm trying to create Classes so that I can save time and be more efficient with my code. But... With my first major attempt, I failed.
This is what I want to do:
Create a Class that will switch a bunch of SharedObjects in my game. I don't need the switching part (because that worked before when the code wasn't in a class), just the creating the class part that involves SharedObjects.
This is basically what I have:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.SharedObject;
class GrassLife {
so = SharedObject.getLocal("so_file");
function Life() {
so.data.variable7 = so.data.variable2;
so.data.variable2 = so.data.variable1;
so.data.variable1 = so.data.variable7;
//The variables switch at this part
}}
I've been working on something of late that will display text the first time the user views it, and the second time, say something different. I've accomplished this using haredObjects. However, it seems that the information (the shared object) isn't removed when the user leaves of closes the browser. I there a workaround for this?
