I'm a little bit stuck as to why gotoURL would return false and does nothing. Does anyone know what could possibly cause gotoURL to return false? submit is a MC. The trace works fine. It's just the gotoURL doesn't take you any where.
Code:
submit.onPress = function()
{

I've got a SWF that I'm loading, and wanting to get reference to a class contained in it's library.My FLA contains one item in the Library, Export for ActionScript and Frame 1 checked. I have nothing on the stage, and no Document class specified. Targetting FP10.I'm trying to track down whether this is related to the applicationDomain or how I have my FLA set up.
View 6 RepliesFrom my flash file I need to make a call to an external link, and retrieve a value which is either "true" or "false".This website will display either:<resp>false</resp> or <resp>true</resp>I have no influence on the external link - so I can't add anything to that file.Depending on the returned value, I want to do something simple like:

I have a question regarding linking to an URL. I have a text button that I want linked to a URL when clicked. I am using ActionScript 2.0 not 3.0 thus have very limited tutorials to review.
I am currently using the following script on the button:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.signaturehill.com")'
}
This works but there is a glitch.It is not waiting for click/release ... it is "automatically" going to the url without waiting?
Is there way to have it "wait" for the click? I do not know what code to ad in Action Script 2.0 to do this since I used the Script Assist for the URL command under Global Functions. I have uploaded the file incase you wish to view.
I got a "gotoURL" action within a movieclip from the main time line. So, you got the main time line, then you click on the movie clip thats on the main timeline, and within that is the gotoURL action that is linked to a movieclip within the movie clip the action is on. (Hopefully that makes sense to you.)
I have no error reports or anything. Is it possible to put a gotoURL function inside a movieclip?
Alright so I have 5 buttons going across a page, and when i click on one, I want an animation to play that leads into the next page. I want this same animation to play whenever I click any of the buttons, but after the animation is done, I need the movie to go to different URLs.Basically I need code for a button to play an animation, then go to a URL after the movie clip has finished playing.
View 1 RepliesI'm having some troubles getting my xml gallery to work properly. The gallery works almost fine though, it finds the images from the xml and shows it as it should. The problem is that when i click on the images which all have a link, it does not go to the link but shows me an error:

I used a little script from this website to make a button with rollover/roll-out effects (http:url..). In the end of the script, it says:
this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http:[url]...);
Now I want the button not to follow an external link, but to go to a specific frame number further in my movie.But I can't get it (not with an extra normal button,not with gotoAndPlay (52) etc.).
I am trying to display database details in a Flex datagrid and connected using HTTP Service. It was able to display details without any issue when I was working in the FlashBuilder 4.5, however, I deployed the bin-debug part in the Tomcat webserver to access it globally.
I am experiencing this error message when I am trying to access the swf file "HTTP request error Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032"]. URL: http://localhost:8084/UA/details.jsp"

I am working in flex and I am just setting a variable to false. It doesnt do anything in the program but everything breaks when I put this line of code in:
somevar = false;
how to describe this without confusing everyone but basically, i have:
prevslot = "jslot"+historynum+"full";
historynum is a dynamically gathered number from another part of my code. it will be like 1 or 2 or 3 etc.
The problem is that i want to like set the value of that variable to false, so for example if historynum was equal to 1, the value of prevslot would be jslot1full. I need to set the value of prevslot to false, i tried prevslot = false; but obviously that just sets prevslot to false, not the value of prevslot. Is there any way to set the value of prevslot to false?
How would i do stage.showMenu=false in as3 iv looked on google found nothing just some fullscreen flash stuff im not interested with at the moment and iv searched this site but got nothing.so as2 code:
stage.showMenu=false;
As3 code:
I have a webpage with a video component (swf file) with a separate .flv file and skin. The .flv file is intended to progressively load from the webserver.
In the swf file I have set autoplay=false to stop the move playing when the page is loaded. This works fine.
However, the problem is that the movie still downloads in the background. i.e. Each time the page is loaded, the .flv file is being loaded.
Is there a way to stop the .flv file being loaded until the Play button is pressed in the player?
Basically what i have is three buttons which can be pressed in a maximum of 7 different combinations. Each of these buttons has a movieclip underneath that advances to the next frame when the button is pressed. Each clip has two frames with actions, frame 1 has:
stop();
var option1:Boolean = false;
and then frame 2 has:
stop();
var option1:Boolean = true;
So when you press a button you have true, and false when the button is pushed again.
i already have a constant loop between frames 2 and 4. At frame 4 i think i need to have some code that detects which state the 3 boolean statements are in and then load a movie depending on which statements are true and which are false.
So, I'm getting this error when trying to load a URL with HTTPService.

how do i test if a hittest is false
View 1 RepliesI'm triyng to get the browsers back-button to work with my flash site. The general principle is this:There is an index.html page containing an (not yet) hidden Iframe and the flash movie.The Iframe contains page A, which starts with JavaScript calling a BACK-function on the index-page.The BACK-function triggers an AS-function in the flash-movie that activates its own back-button, and then changes the URL of the Iframe to Page B. This causes a new History to be added to the browser.The flash movie now contains 5 frames (labeled in the middle of the stage) and two navigation buttons: back (Terug) and forward (Verder). Those buttons do exactly what you'd expect them to do (prevFrame and nextFrame).On a PC (IE) this seems to work pretty well. But on a mac nothing seems to work propperly.Here's the code I have on the first frame.
stop();
_root.terug.onRelease = function(){
prevFrame();
[code].....
I never get the hang of these.'
Code:
_global.web_link_activate = (wArray[this.id]);
if (_global.web_link_active == "no"){
_root.load_area.zoomer.enabled = false;
_root.load_area.zoomer._alpha = 20;
[Code] .....
That should work but it does not. it always says "yes" wArray is a drawn from an xml document.
XML is
Code:
weblink="yes"
Can I set vars like true and false in xml kinda like weblink=false??

I want to separate event handling from a container and it child. So as you can see, my source code is very simple :
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.*;[code].....
When I roll over the container object, I've got the trace (OK for me).BUT When I roll over the decor object, I've got the trace too (not what I want).I just want the container to be triggered by the mouse event, not it child.So what's happened to my mouseChildren = false....?

I just don't know how to set the true and false statements.
In as 2.0 there was a simple code like trace(_root._url) that would return the url of the actual swf file. What is the equivalent in AS3? The samples I found were all realted to window.location and other things, is there no simple code for this like in as 2?

I want to close the swf when the upload is complete., I would like to know how to return a value(may be a number which I intend to use to indicate completion of file transfer) from the php script to the swf and how to receive that value in the swf?
ActionScript Code:
var temp = 1
function change(out){
out = 2
return "something"

(I would do this if I had a function that returned a value already and I needed it to output more information - I'd pass it an output variable which it would fill for me)but in AS3 that doesn't seem to work - it seems changes I make to a function argument apply only within the function.
I am having a problem with stage event listeners in Explorer 7 and up.I place an object, say a circle, on the stage in layer 1. I make it a symbol and give it an instant name of myBall_mc.I add a blank keyframe at frame 25 and create a motion tween moving the circle across the stage.I add a new layer, name it actions and place the following code in the first frame.
stop();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick():void[code].....
Works perfectly when testing. Works perfectly when exported to a .swf in Firefox. Doesn't work at all in Explorer 7 and up.If I add a button to the stage and change the event listener to listen for a mouse click on the button, it works perfectly in all browsers.
Now here's the weird part. If I leave the script exactly like I have it above and place a box, the entire size of the stage, over the stage and set its alpha to zero. It works perfectly in all browsers. This is without even changing the event listener from stage to whatever I called the stage covering object.It registers as a stage level mouse click!
I've tried to add imports but this didn't change anything. I tried to add the parameters ,true and ,false to the stage event listener after the function name. Everthting I've tried comes up short. The only thing that works for Explorer browsers is covering the stage with an object.
If I set the mouseEnabled property of a button to false, it automatically triggers the MOUSE_OUT (and ROLL_OUT) event.Is there a way of avoiding this? I don't want any events to be active after setting this property. I attached an FLA, also here is the code:

Got a button (imported png defined as a button in the library).The button is dragged onto the stage, given an instance name "btn".Clicking the button fires an eventListener which is doing all the right things, except...
btn.enabled = false;
...only changes the cursor from a pointing finger to an arrow. What?! It is still clickable.My intention is to disable the button so it cannot be clicked. But it can still be clicked. Not good.How do I disable a button and prevent it from being clicked?
