I am trying to make a buttons alpha value change if my movieclip is loaded. i've tried adding things to the buttons but couldn't get this to work, so I added this to the first frame of my movie but it doesn't work.[code]
View 9 RepliesHow do I go about creating a socket based status reporting system for an AIR app? What I have in mind, is you connect to the app via socket connection with some sort of terminal. It presents you with a list of options, you issue commands back, and it reports back any stats and messages. (This is for an app running on a remote kiosk, connected via 3G.)
View 1 RepliesWhen the yellow_btn is clicked the function explosion is executed. This function displays an object called spark on the stage and makes visible a video clip called house_mc which was previously hidden.
I use a tween to fade the house video into view gradually as it plays and that brings me to my dilemma. When I start this tween I want the spark object to disappear from the stage. To do this I assigned a variable name of endit to my tween and am adding an Event Listener to endit to determine when the tween starts, at which point I want to execute the function stopSpark and remove the spark image from the stage. The code doesn't give me an error but the spark continues to display during and after the video has finished.
yellow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,explo sion);
function explosion(e:MouseEvent):void
{
addChild(spark)

I am loading a large XML file (about 3MB). Is there a way to display the status like a "Percentage Loaded" kind of thing? What about a preloader swf? It just takes awhile for anything to happen. I am using AS2 but am slowly migrating this to AS3.
View 4 RepliesI've created a progress bar with a little knob that works as a scrubber. I can't seem to figure out how to make a way to notify how much of the video is loaded (similar to youtube). I assume that I do something with ProgressEvent, but I'm not quite sure how to handle it.
Here's a code snippet
Code:
ncConnection = new NetConnection();
ncConnection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
ncConnection.connect(null);

I've an empty movie clip on the stage and an external swf is loaded to that movieclip. How can I check the external movie's frames are completely loaded or not from the base movie. Is it possible by targetting the empty movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI'm loading a background into a background container with the following code:

I'd like it to load in a 4 second alpha fading load instead of just a hard load. Any ideas what code I need to write?
I am making rest calls with a urlload.load(urlRquest).
also
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
urlRequest.contentType = "application/xml";
When I make the calls within the Flash IDE, I get HTTPStatusEvent.status = 400 (or whatever) when an error occurs. And the IOErrorEvent.data contains xml (or sometimes a string).
However, when I run the swf in a browser (Firefox Mac or PC), the HTTPStatusEvent.status = 0, and the IOErrorEvent.data is empty. (Interestingly in Safari Mac, I do get the 400 status, but still no data.)
I'm building a website, which contains text,images/video's on different pages with the same layout. the index.html(swf) contains only the layout of the website, without any text or info. onload at the index.swf the about page will be displayed with the info and videos in the 'index layout'.
When I click on a new link, I want to load a new(ex. products) swf INSIDE the index.swf, which always should be onstage. than when I click to another page again, it should unload the products.swf(not the index.swf) and load a new swf (ex. contact). The pages need to change smooth, so it would be nice to unload & load them with an .alpha.
Alpha out swf, remove swf, load next swf?
View 1 RepliesI'm building a website, which needs a nice flow of changing the pages.First i had everything done in one swf, by using a lot of movieclips and 'if & else' statements, to change the text and images etc.Now I'm also creating pages with different video material etc, and the actionscript and filesize is just getting too big for one swf. So I want to use different swf's to load the pages.The first page, Index.html(index.swf) will contain, the layout of the website, with a onload movieclip(About.swf) which will be the homepage that contains, a videomenu, some text and a videoplayer.But now when I would click to another page, i want to keep the same smoothness which i had with using movieclips unload and load with alpha.How do I manage, to Unload a SWF(about swf, not the index.swf) onClick alpha 100 > 0 in 0.2 sec or something and Load onClick new SWF with alpha from 0 > 100 in 0.2?
View 1 RepliesI have designed a "Before-and-After" slideshow using Alpha tweens to slowly fade one image into another. The effect works great, however, it seems that the effect only works on the first time the user enters that page. If the user clicks the "play again" button, I reload the .swf and want the effect the play again, but it just moves from the first to second image, without the alpha effect transition.Is there some way to "reset" the .swf to replay the alpha tween effect? why it would have this behavior? The site and effect are purely actionscript, so I cannot do something like "goToAndPlay(1)" in the last frame, the entire site is only in the first frame.
View 2 RepliesI was curious if it's possible to load a certain SWF file based on the URL that is viewing file. Basically it's an embedded file, so I would think that it'd need to be in the actionscript.

My problem seems fairly simple, however, due to my limited experience with Flash I'm having some difficulty with it. Anyway, here is my problem: i'm trying to use a Photo Gallery written in Flash. The source files for it could be found in the link below:
[Code]...
it's just so strange that merely calling the .swf from the same directory in a different Flash project is totally making this application, useless. As I mentioned earlier, I'm a beginner or less, at Flash, so please bear with me if my problem seems dumb. Nevertheless, my deepest gratitude for anyone that can help me out with this problem.
So I downloaded this as3flvplayer script, but it hasn't been updated in over a year and has no documentation. It is based off loading the video from XML, but I would like to change it to where I can specify a URL parameter instead.
like: example.com/player.swf?v=video1.flv
Here is the original: [URL]
I have a main swf which has as3 code on the timeline. I have created a new small swf (a picture gallery) using external .as files (OOP) that works well on its own. I want to load the small swf (through a button on an array) into the main swf. When I click on my button in the main swf, it does not load the small swf (or I think, it cannot read the classes formed through OOP). I get the following error message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at classes::Script()TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am putting together an artists gallery, and i need to show each artist's collection when you select their name from a drop down combo box. [url]...

I'm making my own site, and want to have all text available in four languages,interchanged by clicking on a flag button (English as 'Home' language). The main navigation tool to move between the site's pages is Lee Brimelow's carousel (3) from this site with a couple of minor changes. I was hoping to load the text for the tooltips and dynamic text field associated with each selection from the carousel from different XML files - one for each language.the only issue is that this solution only allows for two XML files to be loaded, and I can't figure how to allow for four different languages (XML files) using the same method. Can anybody please advise me how to change the AS code below, or should I look at a different way to load multiple XML files?[code]
View 4 RepliesI would like to load a different image inside a flash movie depending upon what .html filename my wesite is displaying.
