There seem to be lots of examples out there of slideshows that the user has to click through to view each image. I basically need a slide show that crossfades from image to image after a few second interval, without thumbnails or clicking next buttons very straight forward no frills.

I'd like to show my print portfolio in different slide shows on Flash CS4 using buttons that correspond to categories such as: brochures, posters, logos, etc. I've made the buttons and I created slide shows in Powerpoint--but if there is a better way in Flash, let me know. How do I code the buttons to play their corresponding slideshows? I don't want them visible until the button is clicked.
View 2 RepliesI have a simple slide show that just used timeline tweening(no actionscript) named slideShow.swf.I have another swf named loadSS.swf that I load slideShow.swf into this file has a preloader in it.I have a 3'rd swf named loadLoadSS.swf that simply loads loadSS.swf.The preloader in loadSS.swf works fine when I run it standalone.When I run loadLoadSS.swf the slideshow runs but the preloader doesn't.I don't want the preloader to run on the final destination because it's a website with a long timeline and many levels and the slideshow will be shown in many places and it just gets complicated. If the slideshow can just provide it's own preloader life will be much simpler.[code]

I'm building a project that has a character navigate through a room by clicking on the floor. Right now, the walls, character, and floor are all children of the same display object for sorting purposes. My question: is there a way to disable mouse clicks to the walls and character while allowing clicks to the floor? Using mouseChildren appears to be an all or nothing deal and I can't seem to isolate individual floor/wall/character objects for use with mouseEnabled.
View 4 RepliesI have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.

The first time you navigate to it the movie never runs properly. One of the animations will only advance about half way along it's intended cycle, or else icons will be blinking visible and invisible, or a host of other things.

I used the 'Advanced Slideshow' template in Flash CS5 to create a photo gallery. The images in the template are not placed inside of the project but are separate files (the photos). I tested it on my harddrive and it works perfectly. Then I uploaded it to my website and it doesn't show the images. The folder structure is the same as it is on my harddrive, all the files are the same.
View 9 RepliesI was in the middle of developing a Flex applcation, and then I recently switched from Windows XP to Mac. My app is noticeably less responsive on my Mac than on Windows, and today I proved it's not a hardware issue, because I ran the App on my Mac and a Window XP on Virtual Box side by side, and IS much more responsive on XP. Things like repainting in response to window resizing, selecting/unselecting list items, scrolling up and down(I do have complicated list-item-renderers). Has anyone seen this as well? Is flex/flash just not as well supported on Mac? Or are there tweaks I can do to improve performance on the Mac?
View 3 RepliesI have an existing AIR app whose main content is App.swf.I would like to have another AIR app that hosts and runs App.swf. When I say run it, I mean displays it's WindowedApplication.Here's the code for the 2 AIR projects (imports are omitted for brevity):
// App AIR Project -> App.mxml -> App.swf (it's just a window)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">[code]....
I get the following error while App.swf is being loaded:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at mx.managers::SystemManager/initHandler()[C:autobuildgalagaframeworksprojectsframeworksrcmxmanagersSystemManager.as:3001]
I believe the issue has to do with AirAppHostApplication's SystemManager conflicting with App's SystemManager because they are both living in the same app domain. Can an AIR app be written where a WindowedApplication class isn't statically defined, but loaded at runtime by loading a swf and instantiating the WindowedApplication subclass that's contained in the swf.The reason I want to do this is for an automation scenario where I have to assume I don't have the source code for the app I'm automating, but I do have access to the names of the public classes and their public methods exposed for automation. I have complete control over the environment and don't have to deal with any constraints around that, so I can put 2 AIR apps in the same directory, etc.
Allaboutrajini site tells you to stop your Internet connection to enter the site.I guess it determines whether the connection is on or off with javascript or something like gmail and qoura do.
But how can they store so much of flash animated content locally in the browser in such a short time?
I am working on a piece of software that was written by someone else (that person is no longer available, but part of my job is repairing/maintaining this software).The software has multiple pages, each is a swf that calls loads and plays an FLV file. I've noticed that the audio is inconsistent after multiple runs.For instance, I'll repeatedly run the code in the Flash player by pressing CTRL + E in Adobe Flash (so no html yet). No changes to the code or anything, just play once, close the Flash player, immediately play again, close, and so on. The first few times, the audio loads and plays with no problems. After a few runs, I've noticed that the audio no longer plays.
I put in trace statements to see the state of the player content, and while when it runs correctly, I'll get the usual "playing", "connectionError", etc., on the times when audio does not play at all, the state is "undefined," like the player content was not created.Again, to clarify, this happens with no change in code or file locations. And the problem is always apparent as soon as I run the swf, because on the first page the state is "undefined" if the audio doesn't play (so in other words, it's not like one particular page breaks it partway through). From what I see there is also no persistent data that should carry over from one execution to the next.
I 'm working in a flash website and I used a background music that runs while the flash file is playing, I used action script codes to run this music. Also, I used some simple sounds that plays when the user move his mouse over a button or some items, but I imported these sounds to its frames directly and I didn't use action script to run it.The problem is that I want to make a "MUTE" button to stop all sounds, but the background music only stopped because it was runned through Action Script, other buttons will produce the same sounds when moving the mouse over them Does anybody have an action script code to mute all sounds even if they were imported to frames directly??
View 2 RepliesI want to declare addEventListener in a class. But I want the function handler to run from another class.

Ball.as and Ground.as are in the same directory.

I have a problem with flex. sometimes when I change my application and run it, my changes doesn't appear in the application, and I have to change my browser setting in flex to see changes on other browsers, and after doing it for a while and solving the problem permanently, other browsers will do the same and don't show my changes.
View 2 RepliesIf you were to open a fire fox browser and check out http://173.203.200.81/ you would see a really fast animation all based of arrays that are called in a timer event. If you open the same page in IE it runs slow.my timer event runs one function so it can run very fast. It looks like in IE the timer is based off of frames per second more than the set value of the timer.
