I have a flash application that plays .mp3 files. I use the Sound object and the .loadSound method. It is quite easy for someone to download the mp3 files from say a plugin for Firefox called DownloadHelper, or using the Safari Activity window. Is there a way to protect against this?
My client wants to make some of his original songs available for download. How do I script a button to begin downloading? How do I setup the MP3 file? Should I just place it in a folder on the server or make it a part of an HTML file?
I am trying to setup a way to sell my music downloads through paypal with a "name your price" method.I want to use a textinput component. If the person types 0 (zero), it will take them to the DOWNLOAD PAGE. If they type in any other positive number, it will take them to paypal with that amount as the unit price.This is an editable link to a paypal item:URL...[code]within that link, there is a code for the price. it its "amount=1234" is there any way i could make it that whatever the person types into the textinput will be put into that code and then they are sent to that link?
I'm on a laptop and for the past day or so I downloaded adobe flash about 10 times and it doesnt seem to work. whenever I try to watch something or have a flash ad on a website, I get a message that says "install missing plugins". I click on it, and it takes me to the flash download page but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with this, but it says by the installation instructions that I would need to press "run", I only have an option to save the file.
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?
I want to get a flash game that loads the contents of the game. When i download the swf, it's just the loader so it's useless. I need the full contents.
I have set up a progress bar file that in which i have imported my .swf file. Is there a way I can start playing the flash movie before it is fully downloaded. Not sure if this is a buffering or streaming question. Lets say it starts playing when it's downloaded at least 50% of it.
I've looked up and tried several ways, but i think i am confusing myself more then helping.
We have FMS interactive configured to do RTMP and HLS streaming. However the clips still can be downloaded through [URL]..Is there a way to disable progressive downloads? While at it is there a way to disable HDS also? I want to allow HLS and RTMP only.
Whats the general industry concencus on who hosts video content for polite downloads on banner ads. Will the ad vendor host video content or is it expected for me to find a place to host the content (aka flash coms server? is a FCS necessary(have a feeling it a must right))
I'm doing a site that needs to download an mp3 sample clip from the serverwhen a text link is clicked. The whole site is in Flash and am using MX. Tried the getURL > didn't work. Saw a tutorial here but that oneplays the mp3 file right away. I want the user to be able to save the fileto their hard disk and play it from there.
i understand that you have to have a .zip file usually to force a browser to download the file using the getURL command to the URL of the .zip file. But when i have a link in a pop-up page, it just gives me a error 404 page
so far the AS looks like this
on (press){ getURL(www.troyblank.com/download/beeswax.zip); }

I have a movie I want to make available for download, but when i use getURL, it open the movie, I want it to download directly to people's desktop so they can keep the movie.
I'm an intermediate flash user and I've made a file for my kids in class that has some sound on-off buttons. they are set to play once or loop depending on length by simple mouse click. they will play simultaneously if more than one is clicked individually on the page. I'm trying to make the page so the kids can just select the sound button icon, drag as many of them as they want (usually 2 -4 sounds at a time) into a box at the bottom of the page where they will then just play and loop. if they are dragged out of the box, that sound will stop. if another is dragged into the box it's sound will then join the ones that are already looping.
I am running Window 7 64 bit with 6 gb of RAM, two E5520 Xeons, two 10k raptors, one 320gb HD, and a ATI FirePro V5700. Brand New machine and a Fresh install of windows.
Everytime Photoshop CS4 is open it will cause Flash Cs4 to Crash. I can work in Flash without any issues until Photoshop is opened. Flash will usually crash in under 5 min with Photoshop open. I have tested this over and over and it is Photoshop causing Flash to crash. Does not matter whether I am running the 32 or 64 bit version of Photoshop. I am starting to believe it is a memory issue but I am not sure or how to fix if it is.I have tested the memory and it passed all tests. This is really killing my production time.
I am familiar with taking in keyboard input in AS3. I was wondering if there was a way to capture and process simultaneous key presses.I don't mean when a user holds down, say, the up and left arrows at the same time and an object moves diagonally. I mean when they actually press down on the keys simultaneously, like in a video game where 2 simultaneous button presses performs a new action.Currently, I have a class that reads whenever a user presses a key and assigns it to an instance variable. Then, each frame, the class pushes the key into a storage array if the current key pressed doesn't match the last key pressed. Each key is stored for 60 frames before being dumped if it isn't processed.
I'm learning on how to make que loader system. I'm loading in 30 images at once when the swf loads onto stage that contains moderate tween animations. I was wondering would I get better performance if I only allowed to load 5 images at once then next set 5 ect ect. rather than to load 30 images at once? I can't tell because my computer is very good so I can't hardly tell. Is this common practice?
I would like to have a photogallery which instead of one picture at a time will display three pictures. take a look at the attached image to get a better idea about what I need.
I have two flash ads that need to look as though they are interacting. is there a way to make sure they load at the same time so they can sync every time? they do not need to communicate with each other just load simultaneously so the animation lines up. can local connection object work for this?I suppose I could stager load em and plan the animation accordingly if simultaneous load gives issues. is there a proper way to load one ad and then the second say 10 frames in, ya know?
I have changed the variable <MaxConnectionRate>2</MaxConnectionRate> base on the URL - "Limit connection requests",but more than 2 client can connect to the server.
Is that other settings to config to restrict the number of simultaneous users?
Im in the final steps of my Flash game, now I have to take care of the music/sound.And, I figure out that I'd need to reproduce several sounds simultaneously, sounds like gun shots, explosions, screams, etc, however, these sounds are short, < 1 seconds.So, how many sounds can I reproduce at the same time?, and what would be the best approach (what class to use, how, tips, etc) to achieve this?, considering my situation.
I am trying to do a little multimedia player where I have at least 9 small videoclips that I would like to place and play - all controlled by AS 3.0.
It might even be more than 9 clips, but they will show randomly in 9 places. A movie can switch viewport too.
I will preload them all into buffers and I would like to play them randomly at the same time.
This means that there could be 9 equally sized areas showing small movieclips including sound and random times.
Like this:
[1][2][3] [4][5][6] [7][8][9]
So its 1 Flash canvas/player showing them all at the same time.
Is this possible or will it crash Flash to play 9 movies including their sound? The movies might be of different length and will have to be reset and played many times, but I cant prerender the result as its randomly generated from user input.
like in... an example code of where to start? I've been thinking that I could put all the parts into one "sprite movie" and the play from frame XYZ for each "window" - but not sure how or if it will work..
I have been been testing for keyboard events one key at a time. Now I want to test two keys being pressed or released at the same time. I am unclear on how to do this. Do I need to indicate this intention in the functions parameter Code: if(event.keyCode==keyboard.LEFT&&keyboard.keyCode.RIGHT); isn't cutting it.
I am trying to do simultaneous cross fade of images in a slideshow. The script here seems to have a very elegant method for cross-fading movieclips: [URL] However, I cannot get this script to work for images Anyone have a clue as to how to make this work with images? Let's say I have done: this.createEmptyMovieClip("photo", 200) and done a loadmovie of an iamge into the the MC. Here is the actionscript that I want to alter so that it will cross fade the iamges...
