I'm building a MP3 player and am looking for some actionscript than can horizontally scroll a dynamic text field that is longer than 20 characters. I envisioned it working similar to how the iPod scrolls long track names on the display.
View 4 RepliesI am using sendAndLoad heavily in my fms3.5.2 application because it accesses an API on the webserver to execute commands. It calls a PHP file on the webserver which connects to a database, does some processing and returns XML output. Now, LoadVars has been giving me problems for months now. I suspect it is the reason my application crashes intermittently.
Also, lately.. it takes about 2 minutes just for the sendAndLoad to reach the onData stage. I have no idea why. This is not a problem of the PHP taking long to display the XML because if I access the PHP directly using `links` linux command, then it returns practically immediately.
I'am making a advanced mp3 player arund this tutorial: [URL] and i want the users of the player to see how long they have listen or how long time back of the song. i have the AS i what to use but i cant connect them. becuase the tutorial i used does not make a sound objekt (MUSIC)

I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?
View 2 RepliesIn my webpage I've created a colour palette with a drag and drop action. It works fine! But my problem is when a colour is draged in to a certain area, How can I make the name of the colour display in a text box?There are 60 colors in my palette and 5 areas where the user could drop different colors to. I want to have 5 text boxes for each selected color name to be displayed
View 7 RepliesI have a flash file sitting inside of a web page in our company domain. There is another server (used to store images) that is part of the domain but is not running any web services (for security reasons). A folder on the images server is however shared in such a way that any site on the web server can display images from the images server as long as the user is plugged into the domain. For example, both I and my boss can pull up a web site on the web server and see all the information, but only he can see the images
because I have Vista Basic and no domain support. This is done via "<img src='\serverNamedirectory.'/>"
That's ok, but on this particular instance I don't want to display the image on the webpage, I want it in a SWF on the page. However the SWF can't seem to load the images even though the page it's sitting in could. I've tried tons of variations of URLRequests and Loaders, most resulting in security errors. Since most of the online discussions about these errors revolve around cross-domain access, I can't seem to find any tech support for our specific situation.
I need a basic example containing 3 or 5 check-boxes and should display the names of check-boxes which are selected in a text-box.
View 1 RepliesI recently made an mp3 player that reads off of a text file so that users may cycle through a selection of songs. I'm trying to extend it a bit by setting up the mp3 player to display the songs names an their duration (5:45) I'm pretty confident this is possible and I've tried a number of things and read a number of threads and tutorials but I'm still stumped.

View 5 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5 to make an iPod app/game. The provided layout makes the default setup 320x480, which is the standard way to hold your iPod VERTICALLY. I want to flip these dimensions to hold the iPod on it's side during gameplay.
So here's my question: If I just flip the document...to (480x320) will the iPod know how to manage the game from that point on? Or do I need to draw everything horizontally and animate that way too? I tried to do just that, but when I test the scene, it only wants to flip that first frame, so everything flops off screen and it ruins the animation. So how do I develop a HORIZONTAL iPod app/game?

View 1 RepliesWe've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.
View 1 RepliesI started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

View 6 RepliesI have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}

View 10 RepliesI have an AS3 project where some content had to be scrolled in a browser to be seen.The problem is that when a button is clicked where the html scroller has been used the flash frame to which it goes is in the same position ie at the bottom of the frame. Is there a way to make sure that the new frame is at the top?I have tried using
ExternalInterface.call("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)" );
and
//navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.scroll(0,0);"), '_self');
[code]......
I'm sure this is very simply but I can't seem to get the trick down. I have a simply scroller with text. Nothing dynamic, just a plain 'ol scroller. I'd like the text to fade in or out, from the top or bottom, as the user scrolls. Take a look at this site and click on The Film link. The text fades as you scroll up/down. [URL]. I've tried making the mask for my scroller into a gradient but that doesn't affect the text.
