I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.
I've been using CS4 to create flash 10 applications. It works well in other browsers, but IE 6 will not tell the users that they need to update their Flash Player. Instead, it will play the flash as if it's a video (keep looping from frame 1 to end) without allowing any interaction..
It might sound like a trivial question but how can I show progress bars, when datagrids and other components that "talk" to web services, update their data providers
I'm using text that is set to "dynamic text". In actionscript 3 I tried: instancename.text = "abc"; trace(instancename.text); Trace returns "abc" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
In action script 2 I tried: var1 = "abc"; instance1._text = "def"; trace(var1 + instance1._text); Trace returns "abcdef" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
and I want these targetpath rewritten with the new variable of positieMC everytime I click the button. But somehow this doesn't work. I have the idea that theze targetpath are not rewritten when I click the button.
I have developed a chat site and would like to add a sound notification (beep or something) when there is a new message kind of like facebook chat.
I know this requires flash but have no idea on how this could be accomplished. Can anybody explain how to make this or a good resource that explains it?
I am using SlideShow Pro (a flash slideshow/media player) on a site. I want to receive notifications (in JavaScript) from the flash player when a video is finished playing so I can load another video via Ajax.There is an onVideoEnd() ActionScript call in the API:
[Code]...
How do I receive notifications or execute this in JavaScript? Slideshow Pro comes with many examples of how to send messages TO SlideShow Pro, but none on how to receive notifications via JavaScript. The docs say that the entire API is available via JavaScript
I know that with ExternalInterface, we can register ActionScript functions that will be callable from JavaScript, But i want to register actionscript function for of one class which has multiple instance created in the Application. So how it will recognize which object action script function will called from java script.
I've searched a LOT, but dint get the solution to this: Is there a way to display flex notifications in Windows taskbar, ie, the notification should still be visible even if the application s not exactly frontmost in the monitor..There are ways to do this on AIR, or even flex4..but not Flex3??
In the PureMVC framework, Proxies communicate with the ApplicationFacade (and thus any interested components) via a Notification. Should this Notification be sent via their own instance, or the Singleton instance of the ApplicationFacade? Frankly, does it matter?
[Code]...
The second method looks more verbose and less intuitive to me. Moreover, the Proxy has the ability to send Notifications, which, in my mind, means it probably should. Are there instances where the Proxy should only send a Notification via the ApplicationFacade instance?
I am trying make a movieclip pan across the stage on a set path, I have 5 buttons, when button 2 is clicked, the movie clip is moved to position 2, its moved on a timeline so a function starts playing the movieclip, on the timeline inside this movieclip there are conditions on specific frames showing where the the timeline stops, so when button2 is clicked a variable is created which is "label2" and the timeline stops on this point, as seen the the condition below[code]....
I want to constantly reload data from a text file on a website, and make that data the .x property of a movieclip. Like this: movieclip.x = int(externallyLoadedData);I know how to do this, but I want it so I can ftp rewrite the text file with a different number, and the flash movie updates live without having to refresh/restart. How would I do this?
I searched this a number of times, but I haven't found the answer was.I am new to scripting, so I am still finding what works and doesn't. So far I have added a number of variables in the engine I am creating. I want the player to click the button. Once press it will affect many of variables. The thing is I want to make the button unpressable if one variable is <= a number, lets say 100, and another term is true: number(_root.var2)/number(_root.var1) > 2).Here is what I have so far:
Im looking for something similar to the php function isset where you can check to see if a variable has been set. Does anyone know how i would go about seeing if a value has been set for a Number variable?
if (XMLData.product[i].image[0].thumb) {thumbURL = XMLData.product[i].image[0].thumb;}Returns: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.Same withif (XMLData.product[i].image[0].thumb!=undefined) {thumbURL = MLData.product[i].image[0].thumb;}
i am trying to find out if it is possible to check on more than one variable in an if statement at a time as i am usure how, so is it possible in as2 to check on more than one varialble if answer is equal to the number 1 and answer is to the number two and also the number three perform a function
var answer1:Number =1; var answer2:Number =2; var answer3:Number =3; if(answer == 1 ) and answer == 2 and answer ==3); if(answer == 1 and answer == 2)
This is the Script:[code]I want to change .cloud to .propName where I'll be able to insert the property I want to check when calling the function.something like this:[code]but it doesn't work, AS3 think the propName is a property.
I was wondering if there a way to check if a variable(x) exist.. Let me try to explain a bit more: Let's pretend i load 5 variables from a text file named myvariable1 , myvariable2, ... , myvariable5 How can i check if "myvariable(x)" = true where x = 1 or 2 or 3 ... as they were incremented..?
