View 2 RepliesI would like to update the flashvars value argument to view another video:
<param name='flashvars' value='movieId=1002' />
I found out that I can make it work in Firefox by updating the parameter with the extra step of readding the whole flash contents.
$("param[name=flashvars]").attr("value", "movieId=33");
$("embed").attr("flashvars", "movieId=33");
$(".root").append($("#video"));
But this does not work in IE8 as the browser won't refresh the flash contents. Any ideas on how to reload the flash contents without external dependencies like swfobject.js?
I have a list of strings that I add to an array, then attempt to set those values in a for-loop using data that I read in. The array gets updated, but the values the array contains do not. I also have an array of buttons that I update this same way that works great, but strings don't seem to work the same way. I have tried moving the string array to give it full scope, and still nothing...
public class test extends Sprite
{
// Declare a list of strings
protected var title0:String = undefined;

I have a flash header that receives random text from a database through a PHP page. I'm using the loadVariables function to bring in the first random text and that works fine. I then have a button that should access the PHP again and retrieve another random text set from the database (once again using the loadVariables function).
Whenever I use the loadVariables function on the button to renew the random text, it brings up the same text over and over again. When I use loadVariablesNum it works, but opens up a blank page with the output of the variables (getURL also works, opening up a blank page).
Is there a way for me to use the loadVariablesNum without having the page popup with the variables printed out? Or better yet, is there a way to just use the loadVariables to renew the info?
I am trying to create something in which even when the flash file is already loaded and never closed, it will update itself. All the variables that are changing are pulled from a text file and loaded using
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
and then I set all of the variables of the text equal to dynamic text fields. My question is: Is it possible to have it reload this text file (reset the text fields to the new variable) every so often?
I have a class Grid which produces a graph paper like grid on in the drawing area. I then have 5 other classes for different shapes to draw with; Line, Polygon, Ellipse, Curve, Arc Now, these 5 classes use an instance of Grid because Grid has a resolution and a scale. Inside Grid I have:
public function set resolution(x:Number):void {
_gap = (modBy10(x) / 10);
_scale = (modBy10(x) / (this.resolution * _scale));
[code]....
I'm just lost for a solution on how to update every instance of my 5 drawing classes when Grid is changed.For instance, Polygon is made up of multiple instances of Line, Line(length, angle) where "length" is in either in, ft, cm, or m. If the user wishes to change the scale from say 10ft per 100px resolution to 20ft per 80px.. Is there an easier way than re-drawing every Line inside Polygon?
I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
View 1 RepliesI've got a movieclip, which has got a dynamic text element.The movieclip uses a package for its codeThe package if obviously derived from the MovieClip classI've got a timer, that updates the dynamic text field every second.When debugging the code, I see that the timer works well. Its updates the value of the dynamic text field.
View 2 RepliesI have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.
View 1 RepliesI have a form, when the user clicks reset, I want the flash file to reload so everything is back to it's intial settings.I should point out, its not on a server, it's just a local file, so I don't think I can use the .load function.
View 10 RepliesI have a simple flash website it is in AS3. Inside the website is a portfolio with a link to "print," "web," and "motion." When they click on motion, I have another swf that runs -- so far so good -- however, if they click off the "motion" page to look at any other page and then decide to go back to the "motion" page the swf no longer runs. The code I'm currently using is below. The swf that runs from the "motion" page is a component that I bought that is in AS2. Prior to buying it I asked the developer if it would work in AS3 and was told yes. I have posted these questions to the developer and have received no answer.

i'm working on a project that uses php and xml to link my database information with flash. I've successfully allowed flash to read the xml contents. I need to randomise the data i retrieved from the database, so my xml content will change everytime i refresh the browser. However, i realised that the flash content didn't change like the xml content. The script to read the xml is written on the 1st frame of my 1st scene. Is there a way to read the xml again everytime i refresh the browser or re-enter the scene?

View 5 RepliesI've searched the internet for hours looking for a solution. Seems like a few people have posted the same problems I am having but no solutions.
I have a flash project that contains a preloader. The project can be seen in this header[url]...
The flash animation plays fine when first loaded. However, when IE is RELOADED or REFRESHED, the animation gets stuck on the first frame I believe. The bizarre thing is that is works perfectly in FireFox after reloads.
I have tried multiple different embedding solutions and nothing fixes it. I suspect it could be the action script on the preloader. It is a one-frame preloader, and then the animation begins.[code]...
Currently I am using this code to play a selection of .swf files using the keyboard.[code]Now I would like to detect the end of, say, 1.swf to load into a different swf, does anyone know how best to acheive this? I have tried a few tutorials with no success!
View 1 RepliesAfter searching the internet I found myself back here for the right answer. I've updated an swf for a client andin IE it won't reload without clearing the cache files. I know this is a common problem, but I couldn't quit figure out the best way to go about fixing it. I'd like to just add some actionscript to the swf if possible.

View 2 RepliesI have an html form within a flash site. The form is php processed. fix the php file so that after processing the form, the php returns the user to the flash page and reloads the html form. I tried a window.location in the php to send to the page but that did not work. It results in a white rectangle within the html code area (maybe frame but I'm not sure). How can I get just that html form reloaded? I do not want to load the entire page using a URL because that is too slow and I cannot replicate the flash state. BTW, below is a stripped down version of the code to simplify.

Tell me how to reload the movie itself, same like we embed a swf file on a web page, click browser's reload button so the flash movie reset to its original state?
But I want to do this from within the movie, when user click "reset" button, all the previous created instances will be released from memory. I can delete each object manually, but lots of work involved, also not sure if the resources are really free.
I'm trying to show a loop of SWF/JPG files in an existing SWF file. A timer decides when to load the new file and the external files are showing and scaling correctly during the first loop, but when the loop has run once I get really odd values on the external files with the Loader.height and Loader.width properties. The files have the following height values during the first loop: 278, 286, 278 and 787. During the second loop they all of a sudden have the following values, and of course don't scale correctly: 101.05, 786.8, 101.05, 2165.15.[code]...
View 0 Replies I am making my own video player and am adding an SD/HD feature which will basically be moving to a replica page with the relevant definition video on it.

I'm a AS3 beginner and are trying to make a nowplaying script for a local station where I do some work as volunteer.
The xml script that is created looks like [code]...
What I wanted to create is that flash takes information from the xml, the artist for example and compares this every 15 second with value it already has. If it's equal then do nothing else unload xml and movieclip and reload the new one.
I don't get this, my menu shows the menuItems after i reload the page, not the first time.
on frame 1 i have
Code:
xmlSettings = new XML();
xmlSettings.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlSettings.onLoad = loadXML;
[Code]....
How can i make sure the menuItems are show on first load?
I am doing a tutorial from [URL] and I have a question. How can I have this swf reload the image every five seconds? the file name stays the same, but the image changes every 5 seconds and I would like the swf to show the updated images.
View 4 RepliesI'm pretty new to flash and was hoping someone could offer some guidance with shared objects.hen the user refreshes the page by either refreshing or moving to another page the movie replays which is not the desired action.

View 2 RepliesI've been reading a lot of threads lately because I'm working on a school project. But can't really find a solution to my current "problem"I'll try to explain this as clear as possible, as it is kinda complicated and English isn't my main language.I'm making a game for a school assignment, and I have 2 MovieClips. 1 = walkCycle and 2 = jumpCycle.I gave both of these MovieClips classes so I could use the addChild function.Everything works fine, the walk animation works, the jump animation works, but here comes my problem.I have an ENTER_FRAME check on the jumpCycle to discover whether it's finished playing or not because if it is (thats what the check is for) the jumpCycle needs to be removed again and the walkCycle added again.
And the problem is, the jumpCycle only works once...After this if I press the shift key again (the jump key), the walkCycle just disappears the amount of time the jumpCycle should play and then the walkCycle comes back again, but there's no jumpCycle animation.y guess is, because I checked if it's finished or not, it needs to be reloaded to be able to use it again or something?
