ActionScript 3.0 :: Animation Reaches End And Pulls Scrollbars To The Top?
Jul 29, 2011
I am working on a site that shows a .swf logo inside of other .swf files (it's a as3 xml template from activeden) and it works with several other swf logos and it doesn't do it, however with my logo it takes focus away from the scroll bars for the content whenever my logo reaches the end of the animation to loop.I have been trying for over 2 weeks to fix this and I'm finally breaking down and starting to get discouraged.
How do you change the html scrollbar (the one that you see in the far right of your browser) with your own images? I know it's possible because i've seen it before.
P.S.: I am aware of and I know how to change the color of the scrollbar. That is not what's expected. Also i think it's made possible by Javascript.
I have a movieClip called "button" I want the movieClip "button" to disappear once the animation reaches frame 16 within a movieclip called movie1_mc. The issue I'm having is that I cannot get the movieClip "button" to disappear. There is external XML content being feed into that movieClip so I'm not sure if that's whats screwing this up.
basically on the stage I have my Menu movieclip which is linked to an actionscript class called Menu. Within this I have another movieclip, not linked to actionscript, just a plain old movieclip.
This movie in question is a dialog box, and contains an animation for it popping up, and then going away again. I'm trying to put actions on specific frames to make it stop when it reaches the middle of the animation, then when "ok" is pressed the animation will resume and it disappears again. However the actions on the frames don't seem to be getting executed. I tried putting "this.stop();" on the middle frame, and have since put "trace("hello?");" on all kinds of frames but it doesnt seem that the actionscript is getting called at all.
This is something for work so I don't really want to start sending the .fla file around, but instead is there anything I should know about things which could cause the frame actions to not be executed?
I'm trying to think of an AddEventListener...When a timeline animation is playing, and it reaches a certain frame, in which the event listener would listen for.
I'm looking for an flv player that pulls flv from an external source, the player needs to have simple pause play controls and either show frame 1 of the video or have the ability to display a static image (clip of the video). looked all over flashkit and cant find what i want!
Is it possible to create an adobe AIR app that pull in login passports from forums (PHPBB or MYBB or even SMF)? I am the owner of the forums of course so I have access to PHPMYADDMIN and such. I am trying to mimic BoxeeTV for my own network.
I hope someone has an answer for this and that it hasn't been asked before. I have been trying to figure out how to solve this most of the day. Anyway, I have some code that pulls a session id from a server via sendAndLoad, then does a getURL to launch a browser window with a webserver location and some php variables after it, like this:
I am loading a text dynamically from flash which pulls the text up from either HTML or txt file and is lacking showing some special characters, more specifically it doesn't show the apostrophe ( ' ) what I am in need for now.
I use Flash CS4 (AS2) to develop an application where the swf pulls XML data from my database. I basically used the same script (AS & PHP) in a file which was done in Flash 8(AS2) which is NOT WORKING!.
I have experience with flash slideshows, but I'm trying to find out if there is one that will read images from a folder. Basically I'm using a cms with a gallery plugin. I would like to be able to view images managed with the plugin in the flash slideshow.
I have a question about the loader class.I was reading some of the documentation on the follow web page:http:[url]....And I didn't get very far before I had my first question about how the loader class pulls in external information:
Quote:The loaded display object is added as a child of the Loader object.
Question one: By "display object" they are referring to your external content (.swf / .jpg / .mp3) correct?
Question two: "is added as a child of the Loader object" Dose this mean that you could define one instance of the loader class, and then have several URLRequests that plug into that one loader class.So in other words can you have multiple forms of content from different directory's being loaded through ONE loader class instance?I'm a visual person so I mapped my current understanding of this process in the follow Img.
I want to create a slideshow banner that will showcase our products. The slideshow will contain the image of the product, the name, the price, the item code and the link when someone clicks on it. Each week we update the best sellers and it can be from 5 to 15 different products. Similar to what we have now in our website www.deiequipment.com which now is static, we want to animate it and rotate the products like a slideshow.The problem we are encountering is that we have to manually update the slideshow content.
We would like to know if there is a way through scripting or catalyst to connect to a database and simply update all these fields automatically. So for example if the database has 5 items, automatically will pre-fill each field listed above and the slideshow will have 5 products.
If we update the database now with 10 products, to update automatically. That way we can create 1 slide show, the time it takes to rotate to the next product, and add simple button controls to the slide show for next and back that will simply go through the loaded items.I tried to do a research on how to do it online but some takes me to scripting, others to catalyst dabases, but none are specific to what I need.As a note, the image will just be an image holder that will be updated with the image field in the database that points to the URL location of the image.
I'm developing a downloadable flash application that I want to include an image associated w/ a specific user w/ the download.Basically, I want the user's website image to be pulled down or pointed to when the .swf or .exe file is downloaded to a user's computer
I am trying to create a news rotator that pulls info and images from an XML file.I made something similar a while back which pulled just the headlines which worked great and I am trying to adapt this same idea to a current project. pull all the info from the XML and push them into separate arrays based on the type of information it is. ie title, description, image etc.From there I have a function which is supposed to display the all of the info and another which cycles through it based on a timer.Like I said before, this worked great with just the headlines, but when trying to add images its getting thrown off. The function which intends to parse the data and pushing it into separate arrays.
Code: function onLoaded(evt:Event):void { xml = new XML(evt.target.data); var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
[code]....
I'm aware that it has something to do with either how the info for the images is being parsed (or not), and/or how I am going about displaying it.I was able to write a separate function which displayed one image as intended, but then wouldn't cycle through as the news changed.
I have an AS3 file that pulls an XML feed from a site. All the file does is display a number in a dynamic text box. On my desktop it works fine the feed is parsed in the output window and in the dynamic text box, joy! I upload the file to the CMS we are using and, no joy all I get is 'Loading' in the window. I get Loading because I input that in the tf so it wouldn't be blank.
So the question is, is there a fundamental flaw in my code or is it more likely to be the CMS? Im hoping it is the code, otherwise it is back to the drawing board.
I have just started learning AS3 (2-3 weeks) and I have to say its very enjoyable!I am trying to make a function that pulls in values to save me writing 15 separate functions!I have a "street mc" which has 15 "house mc's" inside.When the user hovers over a house I want the resident to appear above the house.The house instance name is house1 and there is a mc in the library linked using the MrsRoy() class.This is my code so far:
Code:
var house1Res:MovieClip = new MrsRoy(); function resIconIn(e:MouseEvent):void{ var currentHouse = "street." + e.target.name; var currentRes = e.target.name + "Res";
[code]....
I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at Dignity_drive_fla::MainTimeline/resIconIn()
I've built a flash photo gallery that pulls image urls from an external XML file. The gallery has different image catagories that load their own set of images.The user decided which catatgory they'd like to view by clicking an HTML button in the flash movies parent page...using javascript, this button click sends a variable to the root level of the flash movies with the new XML location...
Trouble is, onces the initial XML file is loaded, the movie has no need to refresh (and read the newly sent variable) ...*Unfortunately the catagory buttons MUST be outside the movie on the page...
Im trying to make a horizontal scroller, that pulls images from an XML document, and scrolls them infinitely.I have 2 problems with this and I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial, or example that shows how to do this and I always find something that is close to what I want but not quite.Here is what I have so far:
Code: var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var mcListener:Object = new Object();[code]....
What I'm wanting to do is instead of using 490 (underlined), I want to be able to get the width of each loaded image so that I can line up the next image right up against it regardless of its width (490 just happens to be the width of all of them right now).I'm trying to use the onLoadInit() function, but I know I'm doing something wrong. When I try and trace my mainLoader variable, it traces the right amount of times, but they are all the last object in the group.What do I need to do to be able to get the widths of each image as it loads, then use that variable to position the next image right after it?
also (a semi unrelated help request), what I'm doing right now is loading them ALL in creating one giant line of images, then loading in another giant line of images and just alternating between the 2 each time one is almost to the end of its length. Is there a better way to do this so that only the right amount will load, and scroll, at the beginning adding the one right before it enters stage, and as they move off stage they are removed, then when it's near the end it just adds the first one back to the end?
All good but there are no scroll bars on the browser when I make the browser window smaller? Search took me to this thread- http: [url]....The solution there is "find the parameter in your CSS that states "overflow: auto" or "overflow: hidden" and change it to "overflow: scroll".I did that and now I see a white scroll track in the browser but no actual scroll bar? LOL What do you think is going on?This is the page code-

I'm trying to create several pop-up windows that will initiate when buttons within flash are pressed. I've tried using this tutorial... [URL] However, when I try setting scrollbars=no so that the pop-up windows I'm making wont have any scrollbars, I find they appear anyway, and obscures part of the total html file which is trying to open. I've also tried this tutorial... [URL]. and find the same thing happens. Even though I switch scrollbars to "no" or "0", they still appear.
If you go here:and view my flash site at a resolution of 1024x768 in Firefox it has a vertical scroll bar in the browser but not a horizontal scroll bar (is there a way to make it have a horizontal scroll also) because you can't see all the copyright into at the bottom right. Also, Internet Explorer opens the page with NO scrollbars at all (you can't even scroll down to see the content)
In Flash 8 with AS 2, how to customize the crollbars of ScrollPane component? For example, change the default color of the scrollbars of the component.
I have a swf which is 1700px wide.I want to embed it to a page so it won't have scrollbars even if the browser window is smaller then 1700.But I need it not to be resized down
Having some problems adding the default spark.components.VScrollBar scrollbar. All I'm doing is creating a new VScrollBar, setting it's coordinates, a width and height and doing an addChild but it's not showing up. I'm adding other components too that do show up in the same code so that shouldn't not be the problem.What might I be missing?
var a:VScrollBar = new VScrollBar(); a.x = 100; a.y = 100;[code].....
I'm using an iFrame in a Flex 3 project. The problem is that if the user opens my site in a small browser window, they don't get scrollbars. How can I solve this problem? Is there a way to force the browser to put up scrollbars?
If I set the main app to horizontalScrollPolicy="on" verticalScrollPolicy="on" or to "auto", then as you scroll down, the iFrame is stuck to the top of the browser window and obscures the content.
It's going to be used to view complicated scenes in 3D, but to make it work on laptops it's instead showing pre-rendered 360 degree renders of the objects.When you load an object, it first buffers 360 frames into memory, so that you can rotate around this object smoothly. When you release the mouse button, it loads in the high-res image of that frame.
Then, you should be able to zoom in and move around to inspect the model closer.Problem here is when I have the scrollbars enabled it wont work properly.Firstly, I had a problem where the vertical scrollbar moved out of the picture when I was scrolling the horizontal scrollbar.
Then after some more testing, they now stay where they should, but when I zoom in (will post code below) the horizontal scrollbar is not able to go far enough to the left to show the whole image.What happens is, when I zoom in, the scrollbar remains at it's left position, but I zoom in on the center of the image (zooming, by scaling the container. The image fill the container).
My problem is probably just a result of me overlooking some basic understanding. And sorry if the code is a bit messy, I've only done a little bit of clean up. The code I post below is without any scrollbars visible.
You can see that I've tried using scrollbar components too, and it works somehow. But I'm not able to scale the scrollbar depending on the content, so if I zoom in or out, the handle you drag on the scrollbar will be the same...
