I have btn link in SWF for XSL file and the file is 1 mb big.
I possible to detect the size of XLS and then show e.g. with preloader the downloaded size?
I have a video in .flv format that I have converted into .swf. And this .swf file, I have added it in into my main flash file by using Loader. And now, I want to detect when this video will finish playing so that I can go to the next frame which is not looping the video again and again.
View 3 RepliesI have a script that calls for an external swf file. It can import the file no problem but it is always the same size. The problem is that I made the swf file with smaller dimensions and it is still to larger in my window.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a problem where I have a flash file that constantly loops. It reads 3 different variables from a txt file and outputs their data. I also have it refreshing the swf so that when I change data in the .txt file it updates it realtime in the swf without having to reload the file. but what I also need is a way to tell it to make an array a certain length to populate this data. And instead of a fixed size as it is right now, to make it X long where X is declared in the .txt file that i am using.here is the code that im currently using:
Code:
loadVariablesNum("childdata.txt", 2);
imageNum = 0;

i try to implement a preloader for my site but i have the following problems:once the preloader is finished it opens my external swf but this one appears below the preloader and very little in the window (almost smaller than my preloader size)

I'm creating a map that has points of interest. (POI) When a user mouses over the POI an info bubble pops onto the screen and it loads an swf. I can't detect the size of the swf so that my infobubble will size itself to the size of the swf. When I mouse over my swf file, it disappears. I would love to have the my swf file pop up in a layer on its own instead of being on the stage of my main flex file...

Is there a way to detect the total size of all files in a fileReferenceList?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible in Flex 4's VideoPlayer control (spark.components.VideoPlayer) to detect some attributes of the source video?
In my case, it's a local file. I would need to detect the original width and height of the input source video (an h264 f4v).
I'm writing an application in AS3 on Flex that utilises USB removable storage - SD cards - and I need to display the space available on it in a progress bar.Getting the space available on a drive is straightforward enough using:
flash.filesystem.storageVolume.rootDirectory().spaceAvailable
but to display free space graphically, I need to know the total size of the drive and I can't find anyway of getting that info.For now, I've resorted to guessing the size roughly based on the free space, but this is obviously far from ideal.I've scoured the vast documentation that Adobe provides and googled 'til my fingers ache, but no luck. I'm guessing this may not be possible with the standard framework and may require a custom Native extention to be written.
I have a SWF that's 1100 x 730 (odd size, I know). What I want to do is detect the window size (not screen resolution). If the width of the window is less than 1100, scale the SWF to fit the window. If the width of the window is 1100 or higher, do nothing.
View 0 RepliesWhen I preview my flash file it says that the filesize is 29kb. However when I look at the properties of the outputted swf it's coming in a t 36kb. Which is the correct size? Also what extra information is being added to push it up by 7kb?

View 2 RepliesI made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.
View 5 RepliesTried stage.stageWidth and stageHeight on applicationComplete, but for some reason the actual numbers returned do not seem to be accurate - the image always appears off-centered (stageWidth/2 - imageWidth/2). How do you determine the mobile device's actual screen size, to center an object?
View 1 RepliesI need to find a way to detect keystrokes when the flash file is not selected and send that information to an .swf file. The file would be stored locally (not on the internet).
View 3 RepliesI'm using actionscript as a preloader to load an external swf from a url, and I've noticed that the traces in the external swf are passed onto the loader's output. Is there any way to detect if a function has been activated inside the external swf, and use it to call to another function inside the loader?
View 5 RepliesIs there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?
View 3 RepliesActaully I am running a cards game. While running the game in between if I change the style portrait to landscape. then how can I detect the screen size and run the game according the screen style (Portrait or Landscape).
Actaully I have written the code to detect the screen as portrait and landscape. But in between if I change the game portrait into landscape, no more it works.
I can't get my head around this. I know there's a clever way to do this but none of my ideas seem to be the solution. I'd like to dispatch an event when there are no more items to be loaded. I'm working with Drupal and AMFPHP and loading some nodes. The number of nodes may vary from day to day so I need a way to know when the last one has loaded.
In the code below, I am building an array to use elsewhere in the application. Once all nodes have finished loading I'd like to know what the final length of portfolioItems is.

I have a main swf that will load external swfs into a container. I need to detect the end of the loaded external swf in order to start to load and play a new one into the same container. The problem is that i do not know what the length of the external swfs will be, and will have no control over the development of them, so i cannot place a variable at the end of their animation which would allow me to detect from the main movie its end. I also cannot rely on the _totalFrames property because the loaded swf might not have all the animation inside its main timeline.
View 5 RepliesI have 5 loaded swf files, I can play them one by one using "next" button. But now I need a "autoplay " button. My thinking is to dectect one swf finished, then call the "next" function, so it can be played automaticly. The thing is I don't know how to dectect one swf is finished playing.
View 9 RepliesI'm newly transitioning from AS2 to AS3, and trying to figure out the proper way to detect the end of an external swf, or, essentially put "restrictions" on next buttons for a flash site.Basically, I have a training course where the user watches a little demo then clicks "next" to proceed to the next slide. This works wonderfully so far; however, I need to restrict the next button from being active until the demo has finished playing (so they can't skip ahead).The way this is structurally set up is I have a main container (mainContainer.swf) that loads in external content through an empty MC (contentMC) and cycles through an array (content1.swf, content2.swf, content3.swf) and so on...I have tried comparing the currentFrame to totalFrames of the external swf before activating the next button, but with no luck. Again, new to AS3 so probably have the syntax wrong...
if (contentMC.currentFrame == contentMC.totalFrames) {
trace("end of external swf");
//next button code here...continue cycling through array...

Any way to detect the frame rate of an external swf and then change the frame rate of the original file to that?
View 1 RepliesI'm using a video array to load external flvs randomly for a movie quiz game I am building. Is there a way to code my actionscript so that I can identify which flv is playing randomly so that I can choose and use a specific animation that is to go with that video?This is my code:

Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

View 1 Replies[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.
