I bought a static flash site from flashden. But the developer does not reply my questions. I want to add widgets such as flash google earth or photo galery, video galery as an external swf but I could not. How can make this?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a photo browser web widget that can be embedded in a web page (e.g alice's blog) but I am not sure whether I should go the flash or javascript route. Flickr went with a flash based widget. Why would they do it in flash over javascript? why would you chose js based widget over flash.
View 1 RepliesI have a client where some of their employees have flash installed and some don't. So always using the swfuploader module widget isn't going to work and it doesn't gracefully fall back to HTML. In fact it just leaves a non-functioning button in its wake.
So what I would like to do is detect when they don't have Flash available and switch to the standard Drupal File Upload widget. Now in my head it seems like this would only work if done on the server-side. But can that even be done reliably on the server side?
Also, can this on-the-fly widget switching even work in Drupal or will it pitch a fit?
I've contacted Adobe sales and tech support, and realized that I need to talk to someone who actually develops with these tools.I want to develop some simple graphical widgets with the ability to reload themselves via an xml-socket a couple of times a second. Which Adobe tool should I buy-- Flash Builder, or Flash Pro?

View 2 Repliesi've built the following site. [URL] the client wanted a video player - so i built a one, but bravo now says we have to use their video widgets if we want to post any of the topchef videos on our site... i was unhappy about this, stylistically, but fine - we do what we have to do. the problem is now i am thinking it might not be possible the embed code, to put the widget in an html file, is below. i tried using the loader class with the url given in data=. it gave me a sandbox security violation. the problem i am having - i think - is the id=. is there away to pass this with Loader or URLLoader or something. if we wanted to blow off bravo�s request to use their widgets - is there any good way of figuring out where they keep actual video files?

I'm very new to Flash, but I have an app that uses mult widgets. What I need to know is if one of my widgets data changes can I force another widget on the screen to force it to refresh its data.

View 1 Replieshow bad is this practice? I am having trouble getting to some stuff so i am taking the easy way out
Code:
private static var _interrupted:Boolean;
public static function setInterrupted(value:Boolean):void{
_interrupted = value;
}
Let's say you have the following situation:
1. Static var(an Array) stored in a class.
2. You create a variable reference to the static class in a separate class.
3. Splice some items from the reference variable in the separate class.
4. Trace the static class and the items have been removed from that too.
5. Verify several times.
6. Get confused.
7. Post on Kirupa.
Ok, so I have a bit of a mess here (Which I'm probably not doing right anyway, which could be my problem...). I have a document class, I'll call it as Body.as, that creates an object from another class known as Headgear.as. There are also other objects created from other classes, or will be in the future. Now, amoung all this, Headgear.as and all of the other classes Body.as will use to make objects require the use of dragging functions (starting and stopping dragging). On stopping drags, position checks are then made to compare a particular hidden movieclip with the dragged MC.
To try and save myself some hassle (from making the same functions over and over to ensuring that when the objects are created I don't need to send a complete crapload of variables just to ensure the position checking function would work), I had the functions for the event listeners (Which are set-up on the draggable MCs in Headgear.as) just direct to functions in Body.as

I have some people making a site that uses PHP and mysql. You will be logging in first to the PHP site, but the Flash based component of it requires to use the same log in and password. Do they have to log in twice??????
View 1 RepliesIf I created a static method. say I decide to call on other methods within that static method.

View 3 RepliesYesterday I found myself wondering, what is the difference between either having a class with methods that are all static, or simply giving your class the static attribute?
View 9 RepliesAlright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.
I'm kind off oblivious as to what I'm doing wrong here... I have two classes: - Alley - AlleyCat

the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.

This is a function in a movieclip called Level
function makeLvl():void
{//this function will add bells to the stage

this creates a few children movieclips inside Level.Now, inside Bell(), I wish to access some variables like this:
parent.bellTotal = 0;

Is it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).
I would like to do the following:Have a few objects (e.g. 20 of them), each time I mouse over any one of them, it moves up and each time my mouse leaves, it moves down.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI've flash app and i've static data (like ~18.0KB) for it which aren't changed often so I was wondering how to better get them. The static data may be in XML or JSON. One of my ideas was to put the static data in .js file within a function which would return them in JSON list and the other one was to return them in XML (as I like to work with XML more in Flash) somehow. But I'm not sure if it possible to put XML stuff in JS file to return them when function is called.. Or is XML pages also cached in browser and I will get the same performance result which I would get with cached JS files?
