ActionScript 2.0 :: Display A Message In Flash "we Are Open" Or "we Are Closed" Based Upon Time?
Jun 4, 2004
I would like to display a message in flash "we are open" or "we are closed" based upon time. Naturally I can do this for the users local time on their system, but is it possible to work out if their time is different to UK time (GMT) and display those messages accordingly. Afterall I don't want a user to see a message "we are open" at 1pm their time - they could be in Japan and it'd be about 4am UK time.Is this possible to work out the time difference on any system?

How to create some action script that will display either an image or a SWF based on the time of day ie. Day and Night and the seasons ie. Winter, Summer, Spring, Fall.
I know it has something to do with creating a file that is .as and making sure you have the correct class Id. Looked at a few tutorials on creating calenders and image galleries but can not figure out how to combine the two to just show the image or SWF.
I have a movie clip and i would like to display its duration in minutes and seconds.urrently I am displaying the frames so it shows "frame 320 of 500" etc.I would like to figure out how many frames in the movie clip and convert it to time so in the end it will display: 1:23 / 3:00
I'd like to create a banner for my website using a slidshow but I'd like for the photo's that are displayed to be daylight images during the daytime and nightime images during the evening hours from the viewers perspective. These images will, of course, be outdoor pictures, but I cannot seem to figure out how to select the picture elements to display based on the users time shown on their computer.
My CS5 flash crashed when I changed the name of the root folder while it was open. Swf is working fine, but .fla file wont open, I get a "Failed to open document" message. This is a disaser because I've lost two days of work. Is there anything that could be done to fix this problem?
I have an animated dropdown menu with 7 buttons. Each button slides down it's submenu.They're setup so that they open when you click them, but automatically close when you move the mouse out of the area of the given menu/submenu. If i permitted for more than one submenu to be open at a time, then size of the menu in total would be too big.Ok what I need is that, in plain language, when menu 1 is open - the rest is closed. But the menu 1 will close when you click menu 2, not before. OK, if my explanation was too lame here's the real thing, so you can get the idea of what i want:
we're developing an app that should be able to open specified file with default editor application. (so if it is .doc - it suppose to be opened by MSWord or openOffice)
But I also need to wait until user will close the editor, check if it was changed (by size and date), and upload it to the server.
So the following steps:
1) find def editor
2) open file
3) wait it be closed
4) do smth after that with the file.
now results of my research: -> opening by def editor is simple: file.openWithDefaultApplication();
but there is no way to know that editor is closed (maybe by checking that file is not locked in timer???)
-> i can start the native process and pass file as parameter BUT looks like the code NativeApplication.nativeApplication.getDefaultApplication(file.extension); does not work for any extension :( - it doesnt work for "rtf", "doc" but works for "pdf"... and [file.openWithDefaultApplication()] works fine with any file!
In Flex (Flash Builder 4) I am opening a new window via PopUpManager.addPopUp. I have timer code that runs in my component and I need to stop my timer when that window opens and start the timer again when the window closes.
I figure it's easy enough to stop the timer in the function that opens the window, but how can I start the timer again when the window closes?
Is there a way to tell if there is a pop-up window in front of my component, or if a specific pop-up window is still open via PopUpManager?
I have to be able to cancel and kill a Loader process properly and many times. If I dont do this, it seems that the flash player (at least on mac) eventually crashes as some loader processes are flying about , strangling the CPU.
There doesnt seem to be a straightforward way to know this and just calling a Loader.close causes an error, if the stream is not open.
okay, so obviously there is stuff missing from my code b.c i dont feel like copying it all over. its basically an XML controlled style blog, and i'm trying to keep track of whether an entry is open (0), or closed (1), and those values are being stored in 'myArray'. my question is, why isnt that call to myArray overwriting the existing data? i know i have doen this before (maybe not in this fashion, but i know its possible).
I own and I am trying learn and use the CS3 Master collection which comes with Flash 9. I own and had a website built several (9) years ago which I am trying to update the files, So basiclly, I am trying to make updated changes to my own orginal .swf files and todays Flash program give me the message of "cannot open protected movie" I was not ever aware we locked any of the oringal .swf files we produced.
I'm having problems getting the tutorial to work so I decided to look at the source fla. But the Source file won't open on my computer, get the message "failed to open document".
I am working in Flash 8 - with a media player that pulls a .flv file from a streaming server. I've closed captioned the .flv - but the client wants certain words in italics and wants the "registered symbol" to be put after it's name - in the captions.Here is a piece of the code I'm using to make the captions:
my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(.0, "...music"); my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(5, "Hi, my name is Tom MacLaughlin, Vice"); my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(9.5, "President of the Ayco AnswerLine");
Apple is obviously rejecting Flash to protect it's 'App' revenue. I've been on Android phones that run Flash and display all my content perfectly smooth. It can be quite frustrating how they are trying to bury it when I still have yet to see HTML5 replicate the type of interactive content Flash is capable of producing. Is there any way to display a message on the iPad when the Flash player is not found? I'd like it to says something along the lines of: "Unfortunately the Apple iPad does not support the Flash player because their business interests do not want it taking away from their App revenue. Did you know that the Dell Streak, HTC Flyer, Blackberry Playbook, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Toshiba Thrive, and HP Touchpad all support the Flash player?"
so apparently with the new update in IE8, it starts up with NO add-ons. Since I cannot program a code to turn on add-ons in a browser, I need to show a message when this occurs. Much like an image has alternative text in the event the image doesn't load...how can I add a message that states:
You are using Internet Explorer 8+ and need to turn on your add-ins like FLASH Player. This site is optimized for Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
I have a flash application. I'm trying to send users text messages via php after they did certain things on the flash.
For example,
Text user 1 hour after they did thing#1. Text user 10 minutes after they did thing#2.
[Code].....
I'm thinking of setting up a table for the list of things that will trigger the text. Then have a cron job set up to check the timestamps of each user finishing those things.
I'm trying to open a URL in Safari. It works fine for websites without Flash embedded, but crashes Safari for Flash sites.
Example (this WORKS):
tell application "Safari" to open location [URL]
This CRASHES when Safari is not already running:
tell application "Safari" to open location [URL]
Two things I noticed:
Safari only crashes for websites with embedded Flash The script above only crashes if a new instance of Safari is created (i.e. Safari was not running before)
From the second observation I assume that it could be a permission issue of some sort. Maybe the Safari instance launched from the AppleScript has a problem loading plugins?
I need to find a flash video player that is free and open source. I love flowplayer and jwplayer but we fit into their most expensive licenses. It will cost us over $1400 to license flowplayer for our use. We don't have that right now.
I just need a flash player with a basic javascript api that is truly free. I have been googling for hours and nothing so far.
It would be a huge plus if someone knows of a chromeless youtube player that uses the youtube as3 api. I don't have time right now to code an entire chromeless player complete with all the controls and a progress bar.
I trying to close a message box with a okay button inside its movieclip but i keep getting "1119: Access of possibly undefined property btnOk through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton." error message when testing.Below is my code. anyone please help.
Code: //open message box btnPassport.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, btnPassportClicked); function btnPassportClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]...........
Used the following code in a real life demo. I clicked the button, SaveAs dialog displayed, I chose to say the file in the Documents folder.Went to open the file, and got a message saying it was in use with another process. Restarted my computer, was now able to open the file. However the file is empty. It should have some text that I put in there - how can text vanish from a file? By simple downloading it.
I need to filter log messages based on the log level and a text appearing in the log message. These messages are in the following form: 2/23/2009 17:33:26.379 [INFO] TMSNG.Main Channelset configured with url [http://172.16.34.4:8080/tms-flux/messagebroker/streamingamf] 12/23/2009 17:33:26.380 [DEBUG] org.springextensions.actionscript.core.command.CompositeCommand Executing composite command '[object CompositeCommand]' in sequence
I already have the code below that creates 2 regular expressions (one for the level and one for the text) but I was wondering how I could combine these into one. I tried several combinations, but since my regexp skills are non-existing I couldn't get this to work.
Im trying to show a flash animation in my QT application, I'm doing it by a QWebView. This is my code:
webpage = new QWebPage(this->window); webpage->settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true); webpage->settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavascriptEnabled, true);
[Code].....
So, Im able to show regular pages, but the pages that got a Flash animation doesnt appears. I receive a blank page and a symbol from adobe, like "Get flashplayer". I already have it, those pages load ok in Firefox and Chrome. I have put the NPSWF32.dll e my project folder and in others standar paths, but it Didnt work. So I do not really know what to do now. Hope you guys can helpme, I couldnt find the plugin file in Firefox or Chrome folders, so I downloaded another NPSWF32 to put in the project folder, maybe is that?
But it doesn't work. I can't seem to change the value of "poop" with code. It only accepts a value that I place, ex. var poop = 2, but that doesn't let me change it.
I do not why but now my flash files are taking much more time(Ctrl+Enter) to load than usual .. Automatically debugger starts when i run the file. And for heavy files, the file hangs and ends up in restarting my Flash Application. I am using CS4.
I've noticed that some programmers animate objects based on the difference in time. I am not sure why or even if this is logical. Does anyone know the significance? Below is a snippet of code that explains what I mean:
