I want to communicate between flash movies on two different machines. Is this possible? Maybe with Flex? Also, can you open a windows command prompt with flash and send it commands?

View 3 RepliesI have a site I am building in AS3. I have a main SWF, site.swf, that loads the subsections as seperate SWF's only when a user clicks on them (to save on initial load time).or my subsections, I need to be able to communicate with the SWF that loaded it. In AS2, this was simple enough - just say something like_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("something"), and step up enough levels to speak to movie clips in the main SWF.Trying to do this in AS3, however, results in errors such as this when trying to compile my subsection SWF:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.... because it thinks I am trying to communicate with something that doesn't exist. The result is that I can't compile my subsection SWF's.For example, I am unable to reference a variable in the main SWF using this code in my subsection SWF:

i set FMS running fine. I have even enabled TCP port forward, not that i need it localy.the thing is, from other machines the FMS wont answer. FME is going

if i go from another lan machine, it simply wont connect.. nor does Access.log relates to anything trying to connect to it. (from other machine, from same machine everything goes smooth)
I produced an ActionScript 3.0, Flash Player 10 swf in a newly downloaded CS5 (trial version). The file loads fine in both Chrome and Safari on my computer. But when I open it on another machine I only get five animated dots - ..... - in a "wait while loading" manner. The swf never starts. Same on my brother's computer.
My browser has Flash Player 10,1,52,14 installed along with CS5 (swf works). My other computer claims to have Flash Player 10,1,53,38 installed (swf doesn't work). My brother's computer has Flash Player 10,0,45,2 (swf doesn't work).I've tried various publish configs such as on/off xml meta data, on/off hidden layers, embed minimal or more of my font etc.When I configure for ActionScript 2.0 and/or Flash Player 9 my animation breaks totally.
I am working on a large batch of banners with another designer. We are both using the same assets, the same version of Flash (CS4) and are both working on Macs. We are also both using the same fonts through Universal Type Client yet when I open files that he has produced the text elements display lower down than they should. If I align them correctly on my machine and then give back the file the text appears too high when he opens it. There are no font errors when the files are opened and the characters display fine except for the alignment. Does anyone know what might be causing this in Flash or is it an issue with the fonts themselves?
View 3 Replieshow to tackle it. The worst part is, is that I'm not able to reproduce it on my machine, so at this point, I have no errors to chase down, and no diagnosing tools to see what's happening.
Here's the main issue:
We have this large content sharing site that loads a handful of external swfs, and one of the external swfs does not load for a handful of our site's users. Frustratingly, it loads perfectly fine for me and many other users in a relatively wide variety of environments (PC/Mac/various browsers/virtual machines), so this goes a little beyond MY SWF'S NOT SHOWING UP
Here are some details that might be causing this error:
The main swf has grown rather large. It publishes to just over 600 KB, and more than half of that is Actionscript. I actually had to turn off compress and optimize, because it stopped compiling (this has been a long-running project that has steadily grown over time). I'm pushing for budget to re-architect the site, but that's another story.
The main swf loads a dataset of 5,000+ content piece details (~10 fields of numbers/text each).
As you can see, I'm starting to think this might be a memory issue, which would explain why it's not hitting me and a lot of other people in the office.
However, it might also be a shared object issue. Since I'm running solely off of feedback from user -> client -> us, it sounds like some of the users DO see the swf the first time around, and there might be a shared object error being thrown.
The external swf uses a shared object to save the users project. One of the users (who was experiencing this problem) had an in interesting folder structure where the shared object folder was contained within a folder labeled [[IMPORT]]. I've spent some time googling this, but to no avail.
Is there any way I can have an integration between Flash AS and C++? Let's say I have created a socket using C++ and multi-casting it to several ip addresses.
On one of the IPs I am running a Flash client. Can I receive the Multicast message (sent by MFC/C++ application) through my Flash application.
Or at least can I develop a Flash plugin (menu item) using C++?
I have written a flash program using AS3 which allows the user to build a picture of a product using a variety of options displayed in checkboxes. Very simply these checkboxes either make a layer visible or invisible in my flash movie and certain choices may change the list of options. This information is currently being supplied by XML. Once the user has built his product, I would like to be able to save his choices in a SQL Server database and also be able to download his options again at a later date and view these choices at the manufacturing plant.
So far I have tried using asp.net to write to the database and have got the information to the asp.net program by using the querystring, however there may be up to 50 options which does make a querystring rather unwieldy. Also I cannot seem to send back information from the asp.net page to my actionscript.Can anyone tell me how to do this or give me an example? I am supposing that I use the response.write function in asp.net but what command in AS3?I looked into the possibility of using a webservice but see that AS3 no longer supports this as all the functionality is in Flex. I have read about Flex but still do not understand whether

View 1 RepliesI am working on a flash game and want two swf to communicate with each other. I tried local connection but dont know why sometimes it doesnot work.
View 1 RepliesI have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far
I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script

However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?

I am trying to make myself a simple metacafe uploader, and I am using the webbrowser to do that. Everything was working great with loggin in, navigating to upload page etc... I used the HtmlElement and setAttribute/Invoke to click and set the text fields:
HtmlElement password = wb.Document.All["sPass"];
assword.SetAttribute("value", this.password);
Now I have a problem. To upload a video to metacafe, you first need to click on a flash button caleld Upload. There, a window appears to select a file, and after you press OK, the upload begins and you can enter the form information. My question is this: How can I enter the video file without seeing a popup window? Knowing that it's flash . Here is how the flash object looks: [URL] Above I copied only the part from the upload page that it's important to me. As you can see, a simple flash file appears. Now I want to simulate the click/enter of file without showing the file window.
My index.php file loads the Facebook JavaScript SDK and the FBJS bridge:[code]When I run this file on my server, I can communicate with Facebooks JavaScript SDK either indirectly through ExternalInterface calls, launching various Facebook UI dialogs etc. And I can also use the facebook-actionscript-api to launch the same dialogs directly from ActionScript.When I however use this index file as my Facebook canvas url and load the swf in a Facebook iFrame, the communication crashes the application. I'm not sure how to debug this but I think it might have to do with crossdomain security. Any ideas on debugging and/or solutions are welcome.

View 7 RepliesCen i communicate to FMS from browser not with swf. For example - by javascript from user side or by C# from IIS server side.
I need to built a live chat application where the swf only get the live stream and show it to the user but all the other logic code that communicate to FMS will be not in the swf and not in some *.exe file.
I need this because this live chat appliction will have to work on apple ipad and iphone soon when FMS will be able to stream to those devices and i will have to abandon the swf anyway.
I'm developing an interactive system where two client flash apps will talk to a third server app. The clients will be sending some status information to the server. I think I need two way communication...haven't decided whether the server needs to send back any acknowledgements yet.
These will be applications and not .swfs that run in a browser.So far the only method that I see are to make the server an AIR app (b/c AIR has a Server Socket class) and make the clients Flash projectors (b/c Flash has a Sockets class).
Are there other methods that I can use connect my apps together? These 3 machines will basically be living a few feet from each other and they will be on their own dedicated network.The machines will live within their own little private network. They won't be accessing the outside world.
