how do I store and retrieve rather large multi-lined texts blocks that contain hard returns in a url or embed code?
Hah, yeah, probably a ridiculous request but this is used in a flash/custom BBcode partnership. The idea being that the user posts on the bulletin board and wraps their text in [customtag][/customtag]. It spits that information out as an embed code with the text stored as a variable that calls the flash applet and displays their post in a fancy way. This is for a browser based game so it's basically for admin's to post RP style messages.
I have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
I'm trying to pass the contents of variable playnoyes to the long line of code below to decide whether or not to autoplay the flash movie, but doing it as I have below, the resultant line of code has the variable in quotes and therefore the code doesn't execute it as expected. My question is, how can I pass the variable so that the resulting line of code doesn't have the quotes around the variable value.
var playnoyes='true'; var testtext = "<script type='text/javascript'>AC_FL_RunContent ('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.[code]....
He doesn't do much, just an integer what adopts a value between 0-100. I also have a line drawing function. He does lots of things and draws lots of pretty lines. All in just one colour mind.I'd like to be able to change that colour based upon the value of 'n', but I don't know how to convert this integer into the 0x000000-0xFFFFFF format used by linestyle. I can scale and convert 0-100 into a hex string but I'm stumped at how to prepend 0x to the string and how to use this within linestyle...Here's what I have so far....
all I want to do is add a variable to a getURL line of code.EG:getURL("/index.asp", "_self");I need to add a variable (_root.myvariable) to the end of the link so that it goes to:index.asp?myvar=thevalueofmyvariable
Would removing the (Variable definitions / Spaces / Have everything on one line) make the project run faster.Testing my projects most beefy loop without variable definitions seems to make it run slightly faster.
I downloaded CS4 and created several projects, but then the 30 day trial period ended. When I opened up my licensed CS3, and tried to open the projects I created in CS4, they didn't open.I don't understand why Adobe would do this, unless they didn't, ? I can't believe it is not backward compatible?
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?
I am simply trying to link a button on my site to another webpage (an online store). The site is currently live at Higdon Florist (won't let me put the dot com address due to forum rules) The last 2 menu options (View Bouquets and Place Order) should link to (store dot higdon florist)
On PC, this works just fine every time.
However, I have reports that Mac users have trouble. The action never fires on the first 4 or 5 tries. Then, suddenly, it begins to work (and continues to work thereafter).
I am creating an ebrochure, where in my timeline i have three layers: top bar (for my glossary and help buttons), nav bar (with my prev and next buttons) and the pages of the brochure.
The pages consist of each frame having a movieclip for that page, so frame one has page one movieclip, etc... and are all individual frames.
The top bar layer spans the entire set of page frames (14) as does the nav bar, but I have the glossary and help on frames after the pages end. What I am trying to do is that when someone clicks to go to the glossary from where ever they currently are, the prev button on the nav bar that is over the glossary page can take me back to the last page I was on. So, if on page 4 and click to go to glossary, prev takes me back to page 4. But if i am on page 7, prev takes me back to page 7.
My SWF contains a combobox that functions as expected when it is viewed alone. But when this same SWF is loaded into a 'container' SWF the combobox no longer works.
The container SWF uses AS3, and the SWF that is being loaded into it uses AS2. Could this be the problem?
I was using a friends iphone the other day to view my site, I have a flash banner at the top of my site. When you view the site on a iphone you get the flash logo, does anyone know a way to remove this banner & logo when it is being viewed on a iPhone?... That way I could display a image instead, Pls don't just say remove the banner, I like it and i want to keep it. (it looks good when its not being viewed on a iphone).
I am a as3 nub but basically when I view locally I have no issues... When I view over a network I get an error like: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am calling this mp3 player from inside another movie... PHP Code: var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML); xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("playlist.xml")); var trackList:Array = []; var bandList:Array = []; var fileList:Array = []; var MusicLoading:URLRequest;//File Request [Code] .....
I am simply trying to link a button on my site to another webpage (an online store). The site is currently live at [URL]. The last 2 menu options (View Bouquets and Place Order) should link to [URL] On PC, this works just fine every time. However, I have reports that Mac users have trouble. The action never fires on the first 4 or 5 tries. Then, suddenly, it begins to work (and continues to work thereafter). I have scoured Google and Adobe Forums, and it seems this is not a common problem. So I'm hoping it is just a simple fix.
I have a flash piece that contains a short intro animation and then loads a photo carousel.After a user has entered the site and viewed the home page information including the opening intro , i want to make settings so that when user goes back to the home page during the same visit he/she doesn�t have to wait for the logo intro to load.
I've got a SWF that calls up external swfs via XML. Users are able to navigate to each external swf using a next button. When a user views the external swf, I need to mark it as 'viewed'. This way, if the user leaves the site prior to seeing all swfs, they can come back and start where they left off and view only the swfs they haven't seen.
What is the best method for setting this up? Array? Somehow parsing the XML file?
I am currently building an assessment in flash using AS3. I want to have all navigation buttons visible on the main screen, including the "assessment" button where users will go to sit an assessment based on the content they just viewed.
how can I lock the assessment button until all the other pages containing the content has been viewed? A bonus would be a pop saying something like "Please view content first" appearing when they try to click it.
But on this occasion I have created an assessment in AS2 and I want my "Take Assessment" Btn disabled until the rest of the content has been viewed. If someone clicked on the Assessment button before it is viewed it would be good to have a message pop up saying "content must be viewed first" or something like that. How do I do this?I have the content set up in scenes.
Is there a way in which to track the time a Flash page is viewed? For instance, once the page loads, a timer begins. When the user moves to a different page, the timer is stopped?
I have a Flash Movie that is using Actionscript 3.0 and I have a part of it, where the user has three choices of where to go. Once they go to one, it takes them to a certain frame, then returns to the choice frame. There are three choices here, and what I want to happen is have a button appear to move them past this section, only after they have viewed all three choices.
I am creating a website using the slide presentation template. However, when I navigate to a page I have already viewed, it only shows the last frame of the slide rather than starting from frame 1 of the slide. Is there I way I can tell button to go to a slide and play from frame 1 regarless of how many times the slide has been viewed?
I have a FLV playing in my SWF and when viewed locally in Flash or just in the Flash player by clicking the file on my desktop the file plays fine with decent quality audio. However as soon as I upload the file to my website the audio quality seems to drop.
Is there a way of setting a swf so that it doesnt go huge when viewed on larger monitors? I want my site to scale in size, but when i viewed it on a 27" monitor it just looked way too big really (text looks silly big), even scaling it down can then be too small on regular monitors, is there a happy medium ?
I have figured out how to duck out of enemy site. I need to know if i can have two layers running the same thing at the same time, but only one is viewed and you use the spacebar to switch between the ones being viewed. For example one layer is a person ducked behind a box and getting shot at and the other is a person standing in the open getting shot at, to switch from the ducked to the standing you have to use the spacebar. Is this possible?
The .swfs that make up this website were originally made by somebody else who has asked me to help them get the site working online the way they intended. The main problem I'm having now is making this white space (that appears briefly in shape of .swf's dimensions) go away. The flash projects for the swfs do not even have a white background, neither do the HTML documents. Deadline for solving this problem is early tomorrow and I am stumped. This even happens with tiny, 40kb swfs with preloaders (I thought reducing swf sizes, adding preloaders might solve problem somehow)
