i am trying to create a hit counter in the background of a flash application. However, i can't seeem to get the code in flash correct to access the php script.
Flash Code:
Code:
_root.checklot=0;
setInterval(check,1)
function check() {
[Code].....
i'm trying to create a flash counter.each time the movie clip is loaded, it loads an external variable (number of seconds).so lets say the variable is:
secondsToEnd = 260;
the timer will be working until it gets to zero, then the movie clip will go to frame number 2.after a refresh of the page, the "banner" will check again for a new xml variable. creating the counter (after receiving the variable secondsToEnd) till it gets to zero.
I am wondering how to create a basic flash counter.
As in, when something happens, I want a variable to equal 1, and then, if something else happens, I want that same variable to then be 2.
Etc .etc.
I think there is something to do with ++ , but I'm unclear about the syntax.
i've got some code where a sprite follows the mouse around the screen. Now I want to also move the background so that it gives the impression of moving around a space. At the moment, the background moves ok but it stops when the mouse gets to the edge of the stage. Does anyone know how I can make the background continues moving once the mouse is at an edge to give the impression that the user is moving through space?
Code:
var ball:Ball = new Ball();
addChildAt(ball, 1);
ball.x = stage.stageWidth/2;

View 1 RepliesI need to make my Flash application create a connection to a remote application and have the remote application send periodic updates to my Flash animation. The remote app is written in VB 6, and does not support XML sockets. However, I don't need the ability to send or receive XML since I am going to be overriding the onLoad() event anyway.
Or maybe I do need that ability... I'm having trouble getting my onLoad() event to trigger. Right now I'm just testing the onLoad event like this:
[code]...
So, basically I'm trying to find out how I can format the data I'm sending it so that the onLoad() event triggers. I've read that the XMLSocket object listens for the Null byte, so perhaps the data I'm sending it doesn't terminate properly. I need a persistent connection from Flash to the VB app because the VB app will be the one initiating the updates to the Flash application. Is the XMLSocket the way to go here, or is there another class of objects that I'm missing?
We are trying to fill our Flex 3 applications background with an image pattern by repeating the pattern throughout the background.
The pattern is a very small "bulleted"-background.
The Flex App seems to just stretch the image pattern even though we've specified in the CSS the following:
Application
{
background-gradient-colors: #ffffff, #ffffff;
color: #000000;
[Code]....
Is there a way to have a transparent background in a flash application built with Flex 4? I need to put it on a webpage where the html background is visible through the flash.

View 3 RepliesI have created a Flash application running in a browser (Firefox 3 on Windows XP). When I move this application from foreground to background and (after some time) viceversa, I notice a considerable slowdown, i.e. for about thirty seconds the application becomes unusable.
My swf is very small (~200 KB), but this swf creates *many* buttons and *many* other graphical widget (with statical images), so the RAM occupied is considerable (~150 MB).
I initially assumed that was caused by the swap mechanism of the operating system or of the browser. This was *not* true, and it was confirmed by the fact that, by default, Mozilla Firefox prevent Windows from swapping out memory when the program is minimized (see config.trim_on_minimize option). Nothing has changed even disabling the paging system of Windows.[code]...
I am making a game that utilizes a keypress to play a movie clip. It runs perfectly but I am trying to add to the script. After twenty key presses play a different movie.In case that doesn't make sense this is a little more in depth description, The game is a boxing game and when Key "0" is pressed a movie clip plays(showing the boxer punching) that part is fine. I am trying to have it to where after Key "0" is pressed 20 times, it will que a movie clip to kick in(the boxer that is being punched will fall down).
View 2 RepliesI would like my application to be able to remain running while the user goes and uses another application. (It will be playing music) Additionally, how to communicate w/ Cocoa Touch from this environment?
If you think this is not possible, which platforms are capable of this (other than the obj-c mac x-code route, which I am trying to avoid)?
I'm trying to create a "counter" element that uses a formatted dynamic text box to count up in .1 increments 3 times a second, starting from a specified value (so viewer would see 3.1, then 3.2...etc.)
Here's the code so far:
var counter:Number;
counter = 3.0
counterText.text=(String(counter));
var timer:Timer = new Timer(300);
[Code]....
What I can't figure out is what should go in the function area, to add .1 seconds each time the timer cycles.
I want to create a var that concatenates some text with my loop counter, this doesn't work:

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash application where the user can add points (I call them draggers) and he can move those points around an image. What needs to happen is that I will use these points and their coordinates to change the image.
What I need help on is how to accomlish the rotation. Let's say the user has added three points on the stage, and they want to rotate the three points along the center of whatever triangle they form.

I'm trying to create a background sound in flash website. I created play/pause buttons and it works fine, but when the sound is over it stops. What I want is the sound to loop, not to stop. I tried different things but I can;t get it working as I wish. Here's my code:
Code:
var mySound:Sound = new dogg();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
myChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, whenComplete);

A while ago, we created a replacement shell to run as a front end for a cybercafe. It was nothing fancy; just a flash movie that had button links to IE and a few trusted applications.
I'm trying to develop it further now and am wondering two things:
1. Is it possible to send an application to a frame within a movie? For example, have a static movie at the top with links, then when a button is pressed, the menu remains but the application opens below without overlapping. I know I can use HTML and frames but really want to keep it all in one movie/swf.
2. Is it possible to build on the above and have some sort of application lister that will allow you to switch between the two applications you have running. For example, a user may opem IE, the open Word. Word has now replaced IE and I want the user to have a simple click button to go back to an existing window rather than open another instance from the menu.
I'm working on C# application where I get some user input, so I'd like to save it as animation to SWF.
I searched the web for some open library to do that, but I've found only dead links. Is there any open library for that?

View 2 RepliesI've been struggling my mind for two days and I can't still find an easy way to localize a Flash movie. Well, *tons* of flash movies... Previously (AS2) I was using the old trick of using variables in textfields. So if you used as var name "_root.text057" and you did something as "_root.text057='blah'", the text field was automatically updated.
What would be the more fast and efficient way to create a localizable application in Flash/AS3? I'm under the assumption that the programmer doesn't know exactly what is going to be loaded in his movie (how many text fields and so on) but he must still provide a mechanism as automagic as possible in order to redirect those pesky strings in a XML doc into the textfield where they should reside.
