I'm currently building an app in Adobe Air 2.6. I use this line of code:
Code:
var url:String = "C:Workspace";
var ff:File = new File( url );
ff.openWithDefaultApplication();
Which opens up the directory in a new window, However, say I have the name of a file in that directory.. How do I make the window open and highlight/select the file?
I made an AIR app and enabled it so the user can move it around the desktop where they want. One problem is on a page of textfields, if the user tries to select text (click, drag cursor to select the text) the app drags instead.
Any easy solutions other than having to set up listeners for every textfield and "interrupting" dragging?? (AIR 2.7)
Is there any way of showing a link's destination from a swf in the browser? The answer might be a simple no. Hard to explain, so I have attached a screenshot that makes it clearer.
View 2 Repliesis it possible to have a popup box (or something of the sort) show up where the user can select a txt file to load into flash from a list of txt files in the current directory..

There are 100 buttons in my movie clip and a timeline of 10 frames length. If user clicks on button1, the movie clip will play and at the last frame it will redirect to second scene (scene2) and then "on scene2's first frame" "externalscene1.swf" will be loaded. If user clicks on button 5 then on scene2's first frame "externalswf2.swf" will be loaded.
Here the normal code i wrote :
//SCENE1 - 1st frame :
st1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, a1001e);
function a1001e(eeevt:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).play(); << I want to assign a variable (the swf name to be loaded)
}
//SCENE2 - 1st frame:
stop();
var loader3:Loader = new Loader();
loader3.load(new URLRequest("1004.swf")); << I want to load variable.swf and load that swf.
addChild(loader3);
I need to create an application in which we are changing the style of the application that is theme of the application based on the button click.
I have download the theme that all contains different CSS file. I need to dynamically declare the CSS for the application to apply that theme. I have file name Theme1.css, Theme2.css, Theme3.css, Theme4.css, Theme5.css.
when I click on the Theme 1 Button then I need to apply Theme1.css file as source of style. similar like that when I click on the Theme 2 Button then I need to apply Theme2.css file as source of style. Note : css file contains Style for both application and component of the Application.
Accessibility is driving me up the WALL! I have a system that has menu pop-ups and because of accessibility when the user selects OK it does what ever action the pop-up does and when the user presses ESC it leaves the menu. My issue is this all works fine when testing it in the swf file and selecting the 'disable keyboard shortcuts' BUT when I embedded it into HTML is loses this function and the short cuts stop working and at points activate html stuff. Is there a line of code or something that I can place in the .swf or .html that will disable the keyboard shortcuts?
View 2 RepliesI embedded a SWF on a page and have checked it in Dreamweaver by selecting FILE | PREVIEW IN BROWSER. The page works just fine, video plays back and rollover button works perfect. I've then uploaded the SWF,FLV,html page and scripts to my server and when tested, the video wouldn't play. Below are some snapshots, the code and the html link to see if someone can give me a hand on this one.....

I have a SWF that has a movie player in it. What I want to do is load an flv or audio file into the player from anywhere on my computer using a file browser. Currently it does work, but ONLY if the flv is located in the course folder where the SWF compiles to. How I can make it play an flv located anywhere other than in the same directory as the SWF?
View 3 RepliesI was trying to make a media player with AS3 coding.. I know how to make play, pause, next buttons etc.. And i also learned to load playlist from a XML file (created mannually)..What i actually need is to browse the computer and select multiple files and add those files to a playlist.. All these must be done with the media player itself(not manually typing the XML data).. XML file dynamically by selecting the music files, using the player.. Or is there some other method to create playlist without making the XML?..

View 1 RepliesBy default, whenever you rollOver/mouseOver (not sure of the difference) an item in a Datagrid or a List, that item is highlighted with the component's rollOverColor.I'm just wondering if there's any way to do that programmatically. I haven't been able to find much help on the issue. For example,suppose I have two DataGrids.When I rollOver an item in the first DataGrid, I want to highlight the corresponding index in the second one as well.Basically, as if two separate cursors were rollOver'ing two separate DataGrids.

View 1 RepliesHow can I make sure a menu button name appears in a different colour when it is selected and stays that colour until the user navigates to another page?Example: My menu buttons have a dark brown font. I have changed the font colour to red on the 'down' state of the button setting. This means the users clicks on a menu, e.g. Gallery and the Gallery button turns red briefly. However, it doesn't stay red which is what I want.

I will be using Flash 8. I know how to animate, but I know nothing of ActionScripting. I'm a web designer, not a developer.

View 3 RepliesI'm doing site menus in Flash/Action Script. Each top level menu heading is a button with a standard look and rollover/click that is highlighted. The code waits for a mouse-over and runs a function that moves the movie to a frame that displays the relevant drop down menus (with buttons) under the top level menu. When a dropdown item is clicked, the code runs a function and the appropriate URL is loaded.Everything works fine but here's my one problem (isn't there always one...?).
The top level menus always look the same on every page. It would be nice to highlight the top level button that corresponds to the page currently being displayed. For example, if the user selected About Us..History, then it would be nice to make the About Us top level button remain highlighted (over/down state) instead of reverting back to the standard look (up).1. What do you suggest as the most efficient way to do this? I know ther must be a simple way of doing it. I haven't used Flash variables but I imagine that calling the flash movie with a variable and then acting upon the value of that variable might be the way to go.2. How do I highlight a particular menu/button?Can I use code to cause it to display in over or down state instead of regular up state? Is it better to overlay a separate graphic showing the item in highlighted state?
this is the first time I have used flash pro.I just edited the menu and everything works perfectly except for the highlighting of the link on the current page. If im on the home page, home is correctly highlighted. However after that it skips the next button (about). So when I am on the about page the next button (events) is highlighted.
