ActionScript 3.0 :: Change Swf Load According To URl Address?
Feb 25, 2010
I have a flash site, in AS3. Now that the site is finished, the clied asked if it's possible to change the pages fo the site writing different URLs at the address.Like [url].... opens the flash site at clients swf and so on.
So I have this flash app I'm making that uses a URL load to load a bunch of plot points from an address. When the loader finishes, it send the data to a plotter function. the plotter function clears the graphics in a shape called graphLine. It then draws a line from one plot point to another using the lineTo function. Basically every 3 seconds it makes this request and redraws the screen and updates the value of a textfield to the current y value. In flex builder 3, it works great in debug mode. The screen updates just fine. However, when I make the release build and test it out in a browser, it loads the data fine, but will not draw it until I stop the graphing process. Any thoughts on this one? Here's the code for the graphing function
Say you click on a Flash button on the Flash website and url changes say bookmarks:hen when you bookmark it and revisit, it processes the url like PHP would and goes to the appropriate page.
how to change the action script in the "buttons" movie clip to present more like a button by enabling a change color with a rollover. workaround to accommodate a change of font size as well?
I'm assuming it would utilize the setTextFormat command, but I'm so new to this that I'm not really sure how to set it up.
Here's the original work-around posted by bozeman.
this.deepLink = '/clinic/'; this.onRelease = _parent.btnRelease; mcbase = new Color(this);
I'm looking at some requirements for an upcoming flash project. One requirement is for the browser url in the address bar to change as a user clicks around in the flash movie so that a user might copy/paste said address into an email and another visitor will be brought to the same location. Is this possible?
I'm currently having a problem with loadVariables. Is it possible to load a variable in a text file into flash player via the IP address to the text file?

What I'm trying to do: I have developed Flash projects for a client Company that are run via flash exe's. These projects sit on a network server. This company is now concerned about the security of these projects. If someone should copy the files off the server they should not play. I thought of a solution that has a text file on the server with a variable that is loaded into the player at runtime. The link to this txt should be absolute, so if the folder is copied off the server and taken off site the flash player will no longer be able to find the network folder with the text file. Does this required php, asp etc? Or is there another way to load a variable into flash player from a IP addressed folder?
In my project I need to dynamically load (with an XML file) images (icons) into a flash cs3 file with as3. Every icon needs to have it's own URL. So far I succeeded in loading the icons into the file and adding the imageLoader an external link, but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to load every image into its own loader so that I can give it separate url references. I also want to a hover effect on the images.
i'm worried I might have to change the entire way the website works.
for example. the site is set up with a document class that loads a header footer and content class. then the content class loads an intro. when the intro is done it automatically loads in the home page. then when any buttons in the header or footer are clicked, they dispatch a custom event, it unloads the current content and loads in a new class (usually including some content from the flash ide library.. pretty standard really.. just using some simple tweens for animation.
so my question is, how will swfaddress know what to load when someone puts the specific adress in.. ie: www.whatever.com/about.. how is it going to know how to get to that point in the code without going through all of it? is it possible? do i have to set up the site a specific way? it almost seems as if i'd have to make separate swfs for each page or something.
how to get your logo to appear next to the address of your web site when your website address is typed in, for example if you look at the website address at the top of the screen you see (logo) [URL]
New to this forum, and I don't know if the question belong here or in the newbie forum. I am new to AS and not very experienced in flash. I have made simple apps without AS. Like fx. this slideshow. I put one image on each fram and just loops thought them. I reckon this kan be done in only one frame and some AS.
My idea is to put all the names of the imported images in an array and just loop through that. But what is the code for loading an imported image when clicking on a button and how do I loop through the array?
I am editing code on a previously made site and was wondering if there was a quick way to load an external pdf once you hit a certain frame.They currently are loading an external swf. I just want to take that out and add in a pdf.[code]
I'm working on a UI for a set top box that has a linux os, which runs a java virtual machine, which loads a flash (swf) interface!
Im trying to load a jpg into a MovieClip using the loadMovie() command because the MovieClipLoader object was introduced in Flash 7, which the box cannot run. Im preloading the image using getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() and after its loaded I want to stretch it to a certain size. Im having 2 problems:
1)The FIRST time I run the loadMovie command, it doesnt always load the jpg, and getBytesTotal is set to -1. After I load it a second time, the preloader works fine.
2)I cannot use mc_name._width = 1000 to scale the width of the jpg image to a certain width. Ive tried my code on a fresh flash file and it works on a computer using Flash 6, Actionscript 2, but not on the box. Whats weird is that if I use mc_name._xscale instead of mc_name._width, it works.
I'm using Flash CS4, and a template that I got from a friend to create a website.The template I have uses this "man figure" on the right side of the file. I want to make it so that this pictures loads a different picture each time the page refreshes. The picture can be randomly rotated to a different picture.I'm wondering if there is a possibility to do this, and if so, how should I go about it.My knowledge of Flash is very poor..Here is the template and swf file of the original file I have uploaded to a downlaodable website. The link is only available for 7 days from today

I'm building an XML based gallery, and I used the kirupa tutorials for that (both of them).but I wanted a grid look for the thumbnails and I found this great post by ikim just for that:So I managed to suit the code to my gallery and everything is going good.but there is one problem:when I press the button that loads the XML (WITH THE THUMBS), they load like they supposed to:but when I press again on the button, they load like this:and stays like this.. Why is that?here is the complete code I use to load the images and thumbnails:

I am re-branding my web site and am seeking AS 3.0 Code to Randomly Change the FONT (from a predefined list of say 20 FONTS) for ALL THE TEXT on ALL THE PAGES.The FONT Change would ONLY need to happen ONCE on A NEW LOAD / VISIT of the site.
I am trying to use a list box to show a list of items, and load different images as referenced in the XML when the user changes the selection in the list box. I have the list box created, and have written out a text area to make sure the data is coming through OK when selection changes, but when I pass the image URL to the loader, it doesn't work, but no errors are thrown. I get a good path to the image from the bInput variable below, but when I add that to the loader1 loader variable, I just get [object Loader] from the trace.

Now the shoppingchart.swf has a movieClip with the instancename "shopLine_mc" in this movieClip there is a dynamic textfield with the var called product. Now I'd say that if I press the button the shoppingchart.swf should load on level2 and show the text "single toothpick" in the textfield right? It doesnt... it does load the shoppingchart.swf but the dynamic textfield doesnt change.
