i have an mp3 player that works well but when i click on the loader bar, plays from that clicked part, time is also updated, but the scrubber is way to far from the that clicked part of the loader.how can i make the scrubber points exaclty to part when a user seek from the loader bar?
View 6 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesThe thumbs load on a grid and when I click on the thumb they load in the loader. Now I am having trouble removing them. The tutorial has the remove function on the loaded large image so when you click that it removes itself. I would like so that when you click on the a thumb the current image will unload and the thumb that is clicked on will load but can't figure out how to get it to do that. I figured I'd just add a CLICK listener for the "removeFull" function to the "callFull" function but I think it cancels itself out.
Here is the code I am using: (the code to load and unload is toward the bottom)
Code:
var columns:Number = 2;
var my_x:Number = 25;
var my_y:Number = 75;
var my_thumb_width:Number = 65;

I found some code to create an XML based Flash gallery (I have lots of XML experience, not so much flash!) and modified it some to make the images show up exactly where I want them to on the stage. The problem I can't figure out is how to make the current image unload and the thumb that is clicked on load. Right now, the images just stack up on top of one another. I've searched all over to find a solution, but so far nothing I tried has worked. I haven't even gotten around to adding tweens to the gallery yet!

Does anyone know how I would load up a flex application and on load the application would open on a different tab within the application. The only thing I can think of is sending a parameter into the application to tell it where to go, but how does the app load that tab then?
View 1 RepliesI've developed a quick video player that pre-loads, auto-plays and then finishes with a frame at the end that allows the user to play the video again, but a recent discovery is that the video reloads as a user browses through a few fields on the site (represent via string at the end of the URL).
What I'd like is that if you arive at index.aspx it starts the video at the preloader, but if you then move onto index.aspx?ID=1234 it goes straight to the scene with the replay function. The AS I'm using at the moment in the first scene is:
if (_url == "http://www.mydomain.com/index.aspx") {
gotoAndPlay("Preloader", 1)
} else {
gotoAndPlay("Replay", 1)
}
but I'm getting nothing from it.
I have two domains pointing to the same swf. So I have domain "A" and "B" where my swf (site) is hosted at "A". Domain "B" loads site "A".
The swf loads some vars from a DB, when seeing site directly at domain "A" I have no problems, but when seeing with domain "B", my site just freezes....giving an error at the Browser and I have to close. This is for FF and IE.
At first I thought this was cross domain policies, so I have put at my swf the following code:
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("B")
I have a scroll component that I use to scroll through a long movie clip that loads a list of 3 text fields from an XML file (each item is called Li and some of the fields include a unique bID (b1, b2, b3 etc) pN, Da etc. on XML load I use a loop to populate the movie clip with the primary information fields creating a list of each <Li> Item in the list by showing the first three fields in that item. Now I would like to add a button to each item that allows the user to see the complete information in that list item. This button should either generate a new movie clip (or make a current one visible) and populate that new movie clip with information taken from said list item. What I don't seem to be able to figure out is how does AS3 handle this, how do I either generate or add a button that will know that if this button is clicked it should get the information from the corect XML list item.
View 2 RepliesI am working on our new website and have purchased an animated flash template. I have very limited experience of Flash and use Dreamweaver as my every day web tool.
I have modified most of the template but have a frustration with some animated buttons pointing to the same page even though I think i have programmed CS5 to point it to different pages. In the middle of each page is 3 boxes which have 3 Read me buttons... each should point to a different page.

It has absolutely got me beaten. I have copied the buttons and their animations, renamed all elements of the button but something is clearly linking them together.
I have a quick newbie question (I just switched to AS3) : I have two clips in the library that are exactly the same in structure, just that the design changes. Two different characters lets say. Now, I'd like to apply a class to them, and that class is going to be 100% the same for both, how can i do to have the two clips pointing to the same class...? For the moment what I did is save my class with another name, but I guess it's a bit lame...

View 5 RepliesI have a dropdown menu that I'm learning to use from a tutorial. It's just a little over my head and am wondering if someone could help me. Here's my situation:
1) The menu has the title, DESTINATIONS. Submenu dropdown are a list of CONTINENTS. Rolling over CONTINENTS show COUNTRIES. This works.
2) Clicking on a Country should:
A) load an external swf into an empty movie clip :: Works!
B) go to the COUNTRY specific frame within that loaded movie clip. :: Doesn't work!
Here is a sample code from this menu, where it defines the fields that populate the menu:
var menu_0 = ['Destinations',['Africa#destinations1.swf|Rwanda#destinations1.swf |Uganda#destinations1.swf|Kenya#destinations1.swf| Madagascar#destinations1.swf|Botswana#destinations 1.swf',
'Asia#destinations1.swf|Japan#destinations1.swf|In diat#destinations1.swf']]
Could someone help me figure out how to direct the link in the menu in a specific frame in an externally loaded swf? I can do this on a 'normal' button using placeFrame, but because I'm unfamiliar with how this particular menu is made, I don't know how to implement what I know.
I have used the simple script below on several Flash animations to restart the movie by clicking on the last frame. It works fine, but does not show the interactive cursor (the pointing hand). How can I alter the code below so that the browser shows the hand when the visitor moves the cursor over the paused movie?
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){ gotoAndPlay(1); });
I'm trying to make a real simple flash menu, and I am using the "Squirrel Finder"-tutorial as a base. Problem is, when I trace my variables desc and swfURL they are correct, and the numbers on the buttons work fine as well, only when I click on the buttons all of them point to the last post in my XML, i.e., buttons 1,2,3,4,5 all point to swf 5.
Code:
function skapaMeny(menu_xml) {
var proj:Array = menu_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<proj.length; i++) {
var desc = proj[i].firstChild.childNodes;
var swfURL = proj[i].firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes;

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

Explaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.
Way to stop the pointing hand cursor from appearing when the mouse rolls over a Flash button?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a scrubber that will allow me to scrub through the root time line which has streaming audio on it. I have created audio players before where the file was being streamed in from an external file, but have not dealt with it ever being on the timeline.

It works pretty well, however, there is a problem. When I scrub the bar, the audio stops playing. I am assuming it is related to the enterframe function, but I am not sure on how to correct the code.
I followed a couple of tuts and I have the gallery working, but I would like it to have a preloader, so I added a basic one to the first 2 frames of the root and moved gallery movieclip and controller to the 3rd frame.the preloader works and the movie goes to frame 3 but then my controller(scrubber) for my gallery doesnt work, in the code there is nothing refering to the _root just _parent so I am not sure where the problem is.

View 1 Replieshow to build a scrubber bar to control an external SWF. I have a template built that will load external SWF files into a content area. I already built a play/pause button into it but cannot figure out how to make it so the progress bar moves and is scrubbable. I know it has something to do with the total frames/length of the loaded SWF, the width of the progress bar and making the progress bar's tab draggable/constrained but not sure how to put it all together to make it work. I've tried a few things but none of them worked (I'd attach the code I tried, but I trashed it and reverted back to what worked last time).
