ActionScript 2.0 :: Popup Making Background Flash INACTIVE?
Jun 30, 2004
You've got your main flash working as a main menu on your active browser window. Then you click a link and you get a pop-up. Easy enough. But there's some code or something that can make your main menu and background totally inactive while you browse within the pop-up. When you're done with the pop-up, you close it and then click ANYWHERE on the inactivated "main menu" flash to reactivate it.

Load it up, go inside and click the first orange linked text you see. It will bring up and pop-up and "grey-out" the main page.

how to keep items below my pop-up window (window-component) from remaining active even though my pop-up window is layered above my buttons. I've tried to program my buttons to be inactive but since my buttons are part of an intricate animated navigation system, it seems like a lot of work when there should be an easier fix.

I am an artist trying to remake my website...I have a picture of a window on my homepage. The window is a movie. When clicked on, the window lights turn on and a grid of thumbnail pics appear. Each thumbnail is a movie clip. When a thumbnail is clicked on, the movie plays and a larger image appears over the window. The problem is, the window is still active underneath the large image, so if I click on the large image, I am really clicking on the window movie clip underneath, and the thumbnail grid disappears-starting the window movie clip over. How do I make the window clip inactive after it is initially clicked? Also, I would like the larger images to end their movie clips after another thumbnail is clicked, so that there aren't large images piled up on top of each other.

I have a movieclip that effectively functions as a button, which we'll call BtnA. When I click it, another movieclip containing the content (CntntA) fades in (this mc is on another layer). Then when I click another button (BtnB) CntntA fades out and CntntB fades in. I've got all this working fine for now, but the problem I have is that once BtnA is clicked, it is still clickable and it fades CntntA back in even though it is already active. Is there a way to disable BtnA after CntntA has appeared? So u can still see it, but you cant click it? Obviously I'll need to do this with BtnB and any future buttons I add

I have some movie clips that when moused over, become visible. When clicked the clips are clicked on they tween to center-stage and zoom to fill the extent of my stage. One the zoom completes, I'd like the mouse over effect and function to no longer be active. I've been trying this by just making the mc invisible at scaleX>1. This does not do the trick...
if (allthings.NEZOOM.scaleX>1{
allthings.NEZOOM.alpha=0
}
The function that is running the MOUSE_OVER is called NEOVER and looks like this
function NEOVER(e:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(allview.allthings.NEZOOM, .5, {autoAlpha:.5,overwrite:true});
TweenLite.to(allview.allthings.NETXT, .5, {autoAlpha:.85,overwrite:true});}
Is there a way I could make NEOVER inactive after once I click on the NEZOOM movielip? The click event looks like this

how do you make an image pop up in a window javascript style, from flash?
i have a variable in flash, equal to something like "images/image.jpg", and I want to make a button so when you click it it opens up a popup window thats a certain size, without menubars/scrollbars etc, to display that image, like a javascript on your standard HTML.
I read that flash has a javascript API, so there must be a way to do it huh? Is it getURL stuff, maybe with a POST of my variable?

I am making a player that adds an advertisement before a video but don't want the user to be able to skip though the ad. I am using the progress component and an FLV Playback component for my player. I had tried to just hide the progress bar but it looks unbalanced. If anyone has an idea on how to make it so a user can not fast forward though the ad by dragging the scrubber that would be great.

Basically, I've built an application which is working fine. I have a 'settings' button that overlays a settings window, semi transparent, over the main application, that has some buttons on it.The problem I'm having is that the buttons on the main window are still selectable, which I don't want. How can I get it to stop tracking the buttons underneath my overlay window?

I have a button in my flex app that creates a popup overtop of everything. However, it seems like flex automatically puts this transparent overlay overtop of the stage when this happens. How do I disable this? I have tried contentBackgroundAlpha="0" and backgroundAlpha="0" with no luck. anyone know what the proper syntax is for disabling this transparency? I have been searching through the docs for a 30 minutes now looking for it.

I am trying to figure out how to make buttons on my flash file link to URLs that appear in a window of fixed dimensions (with scroller bars) next to my Flash window. I am aware that Adobe has instructions for creating pop-up browser windows through Flash [URL]. However, what I'm trying to do is a bit more complicated, since I want to have multiple embedded invisible buttons in the Flash window that each take you to a specific URL when you click on them. Alternatively I'd be happy if any button click resulted in a link to a random selection from a pre-programmed list of URLs. This is for ActionScript 3.

If you create a popup via:[code]It will create a popup and bring it on top of any other visual piece. I have one problem though. This 'popup' needs to stay up even when the user interacts with the background.I would use modal, but I need the ability to interact with the back. Any way to tell the popup manager not to remove the popup when the user clicks off of it?

The problem: I have a .swf file embed on a website. When i'm on the site the flash file works fine looping continously. BUT when i switch tabs for a couple of minutes or then return to the website, the .swf file lags for around 15 to 25 seconds before it starts playing the movie again.

I have a main fla file, that preloads and loads three external SWF's just perfectly. The three SWF's are simple flip book animations. This is the site: [URL]. This is the only actionscript in the main.fla file.
Code:
var j = 0;
myarray = [];
cliparray = [];
createEmptyMovieClip("paper", -1);
_global.preloaderf = function(klip) {
[Code] .....
The problem is, that the first movie is really jumpy, the second is a little better and the third is the best. There's three buttons designated to each movie. My question is, why are the movies jumpy? I'm assuming it's because when one is visible, the other two in the background are still running and taking up the speed. How can I make the background SWF's go into a stop state, or whatever you might call it.

I'm experiencing a very odd problem. I have n sprites that I'm drawing through Actionscript 3. There is a DropShadowFilter (also happens with BevelFilter) applied to each sprite. With 0-20, there is no problem. Once I get to about 30, other nearby sprites start disappearing. The greater the number n, the more external sprites disappear. If I toggle the visibility (even without a redraw), the other sprites start reappearing.

I am making a XML photogallery with a background that resizes according to an image. It resizes so that it is is in the middle of the stage. The image is supposed to fade in the center as well, but I am having problems getting it to do so...
The gallery is loosely based on the XML gallery tutorial, but is modified to suit my own needs.[URL]..(for some reason it will not accept connections from kirupa.com - copy and paste the link into your browser )

Fairly new to this sort of thing. I am making a page where the background needs to scale to the browser. Background is a mc. Here is the code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "C";
sizeListener = new Object();
[Code]....
Now what i've noticed is that when it first loads into the browser it does not scale. When I manipulate the browser by pulling up on the bottom of the browser the background distorts and the top of the background is hidden. When I slide the left side of the browser to the right the background again becomes distorted and slightly hidden on the right edge of the browser.
By the way it seems like it ignores the actionscript when it first loads. Then when I first try and do a resize it follows the above actionscript once . Then it ignores it for any future resizes.

Does flash pause its execution somehow if the browser tab in which its residing is inactive? developed a multiplayer game using cirrus and when I tried to play it by switching tabs, aking a move in each tab, there were some inconsistencies regarding the way the game executed as if the inactive tab pauses the flash execution and then resume once it was active.

I have made custom mouse cursor (movie clip) everything works fine, default cursor is hidden, mc is following pointer, problem is- when flash is inactive custom cursor hangs in upper left corner of flash, I want to make it dissapear untill the moment you enter flash file. That would work like this: I am opening my web page, flash is loaded but custom cursor is hidden, I am moving my mouse into zone of flash -custom cursor appears on screen and follows mouse pointer.

With selenium I'm currently automating tests for a website having flash elements for user inputs. While everything works fine when executing these tests on my computer locally, it fails to load the embeded flash if I start selenium on a remote Windows XP machine.
However, the flash just loads fine if I start the tests while I'm logged in via remote desktop.
This leads me to the assumption that whithout any desktop environment loaded or user logged in the firefox window is treated just as though it was minimized or the current tab was inactive, which I know prevents flash from loading until that window/tab is activated.if there is a way to enable firefox to load flash even if it's not currently displayed in an active window?

I have an issue with Flash optimization (I guess). The thing is, when you switch to another browser tab/window, scroll down it's window... anything that makes Flash disappear stops its runtime. I've found out that this optimization system was introduced in Flash Player 10.1 - it slows down Flash Player to 2fps in order to lower it's CPU and memory usage. My question is - how do I skip it? I want my animation to play even when it's not visible by all means whatsoever. Is it in the embed code? Publish Settings? Or maybe I need to insert some AS into my timeline? Each site has a Flash content (mostly banners) which behave in the normal way - they run in the background - but everything I publish and upload freezes (it actually plays at 2fps, but the effect is pretty much the same). Here's an example: when I open any flash site, a preloader appears, so I switch to another tab to do something in the mean time, when I assume it has loaded, I switch back and there it is - a loaded Flash site. But when I open MY Flash site or animation, switch tabs and wait for it to load, and after a while when I come back, the preloader is still at the beginning and continues doing its stuff from the very moment it shows up again. This is not how thing suppose to work. I can open directly the simplest animation there can be - a simple motion tween of a ball from one side of a screen to another, when the tab holding it becomes active after a while, the animation is still at the beginning, but the animation is short/fast and it supposed to have finished already. I've found out something about Activate and Deactivate Events, but they are used in Flash games - so it would pause when the game loses focus. But this works on the Flash object, not whole browser itself.
