View 8 RepliesI am calling a xml file from intranet by using
xmlLoad("\serverfolderfile.xml")
i am building a application for local intranet.
The problem I have is simple: the play and load functions doesn't work in flash CS4 as defined in the documentation: URL...So to speak, I can only define like this: URL...My flash player version on all 3 fla files that I use is set to 10.And now with the GREAT issue I can't set startTime for the video and this is just GREAT.
View 6 Replieshaving an issue with some mouse events I have. If you go here you can see what I mean.When you mouse over one of the thumbnail images, a title pops up. If you click one of the thumbnails, the group shifts to the right. (This is making room for what I'm working on right now, it's not just random ) If you then navigate to "About" or "Contact" then back to "Works" neither the mouseovers nor the clicking on the thumbnails works.That middle section is one object called "images" with three frames, each labeled and then navigated to inside the buttons with gotoAndStop(frame#).Here is my code for the buttons and mouseovers:

I have a flash movie that loads an external image into a movieclip with the following code:
Code:
//Load image
loadMovie("myimage.jpg",_root.moviebox.picturebox);
[code].....
I have my main SWF into which I want to load an external swf...When I've tried using the following code...
var light:Loader = new Loader();
light.load(new URLRequest("light.swf"));
addChildAt(light, 1);
The SWF loads but the buttons inside it do not show. How do I load the swf and have the buttons inside it work? Anything inside of the external swf that is a movie clip works, but I'd like to be able to keep the up/down/over and hit features of the button.
I setup a movie as 5 different scenes. The first scene is the loading animation that sends the user to scene 2 when it's loaded, and then scenes 2-5 can be switched between with 4 buttons in each scene. These for buttons are on the root timeline and they work fine switching between scenes. But, I have a different button inside a mc on the root timeline that I want coded to load the next scene, but it won't work. I tried nextScene();, gotoAndStop("the_scene_name",1);, _root.nextScene();, and other combinations, all to no avail. But, if I put that same code in a button on the root timeline, works perfect. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's simple, but I couldn't find a solution in Help or the manual. Also, is it better to setup something like this as different scenes, or as separate movies?
View 1 RepliesI made a movie that has sound in it being activated and deactivated by using the sound object and linkage id's and it works like a champ.Now i take that movie and load it into another movie like so.....
actNav_mc.loadMovie("test.swf");
Now the sounds dont play or work.So just for fun i brought the sound files into the library of my _parent movie and the sounds worked. Since i must have the sounds in the loaded file this is not a viable option. I then tried using the import linkage on an empty mc in the parent movie and it worked but i could shut the sound off.What i originally had....
navloop_sound = new Sound();
What fixed it....
navloop_sound = new Sound(this);
There�s a great tutorial for sending and loading XML (in AS2) here:[URL] However, I�d like to have an equivalent in AS3. I�ve attached my attempt, but it doesn�t work � even though it doesn�t throw any errors. (PS: there are similar examples 'out there' for Flex but after buying the book 'Learning AS3', by Shupe/Rosser the example in Chpt 14 doesnt seem to work whilst I cant find anything of use in O'Reilly's AS3 essential book).
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to fix a piece of flash code that sends variables to a vb script that updates the database. but whatever I do, the database is not updated and there is no variable sent back to the flash. Here is my code:
Clearly I'm sending two vars (pos and user) to the script and should get re_pos and re_date values back. But I get nothing. The code used to work when sendandload uses GET instead of POST. But now neither works. POST option returns no error in the Flash testing panel and GET give me a "script URL not found error".

I've written a class named preLoad.as to load a jpg into a new loader.
the function is called from my document class, MainClass.as
Everything seems to work fine, the textfield displays the bytes loaded, but then when it reaches 100 nothing happens, I cant see anything on the stage.

If u open up flashSite.fla or the swf, everything works, but when I load it into a mc container of preloaderMomSite, the animated buttons no longer work. If someone could take a look, I would love to find out what I'm doing wrong. All files are located on in the same directory.

I'm just learning to load a swf into location/target and on my swf to be loaded in i made a preloader bar. It works in test but when it is loaded through the original swf file the bar doesnt move, though the swf loads ok. I've looked at this a lot but cant see what's up...so

[MX] I'm loading an infinitly scrolling swf into my main swf. When it loads however it doesn't work properly, because all the pixel values in the origonal code do not match for its location in the main movie. I know I can change the AS with new value and make it work, but I am wondering if there is another way. I'd like to be able to move it around and always have it work without changing it. Is there a way I can have the loaded swf retain its OWN origonal x,y cords? or some other method of doing this?

View 2 RepliesI'm using LoadVars to load variable data into flash from a .txt file.Pretty simple - when uploaded onto a server, I can see the data loaded but no one else can, not even other accounts on my computer!Could this be a CHMOD permission problem? Could this a problem with my AS? A problem with directories? A problem with URLs?Anybody have a good method that simply loads vars from a .txt file and can also do it online?
View 2 Replieshere is the scenario..I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple buttons ...it currently works for a button loading a single swf. The name of the instance name of the buttons is the same as the name of the swf file that they load so I thought I could do something that when the button is clicked it would pass the name of the button into the URLRequest but I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using.

View 7 RepliesI have been trying to get 4 random letter generators to work at the same time as they all load on keyframe 60. However only one will work while the other 3 dont ever show up. I have given an example below if someone could let me know how I would get it to work. I've tried changing the variable 'x' to 'a' but for some reason it still won't work.... i want the result to be 4 random generated buttons that will be used for my menu.
View 11 RepliesI have a big problem - I decided to make a website using flash as I am good with photoshop and thought it would be fairly easy to construct in flash using tutorials. All went well except now the website is published, weird things happen. The homepage works fine but when you click on "portfolio" some of the buttons don't appear and when you try the buttons, some images don't appear. Occasionally some of the buttons take you to the wrong place also. When I test the movie in flash, everything works fine so I can't work it out. I am a complete novice so advice will have to be spelt out in black and white.
