I have looked everywhere to find out how to add a seekbar (so user can scrub and pause). It is so easy to skin a video, but I need the same type of controls for a swf. I see them on the web.
View 0 RepliesThe stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.

by following a tutorial on [URL], I was able to display a youtube video in flash, but the problem is that the video doesn't have a control menu. Just wondering if there is a way to make one, either it is customized or some default menu provided by youtube or flash.

and the vid doesn't play until it's fully loaded
I have loaded an external video with playback component in Flash CS4.
Now the question is do I need to add streaming script or not?
I want to load a swf into my main movie but it won't work as I want it to. Seperatly both files work fine and even the main movie works fine when loading the external swf. When loaded the external swf doesn't as it should and I get the error-message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at port_ill_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()"...
Now, I know the problem have to be in the external swf since I've asked it to trace the result in the "for..var" method I use to create thumbs that works as buttons, but it only returns 0 when it should på at least 9.I don't know why it seems to be a problem as the main movie also are able load other external swf-files without any problems at all.theese files doesn't contain any actionscript triggering events in theese files, etc. Anyway, here is the code for the main movie:
var portUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
var portLoader:Loader = new Loader();
function portCompl(Ev:Event):void{

We have a web app. built in flash that allows customers to upload images and text, customize the container in which these will be shown (a swf file) and then embed the code into thier website. There is also a sharing options that allows their users to display this container, together with the content, on their websites. (For e.g you can see the container as the Youtube player and the content as the videos the user chooses to show). The swf container uses an XML file to know what to display.
Now, I am not a flash developer, but a person who takes care of the project.We are currently working on the app and the swf and we still find bugs. Every time we fix sth, I am told to erase my cache to see the changes. My concern is that the client/users might not see the newer version that we make available, but the old one. We can't tell them to erase the cache and we can't afford to renounce using the cache since the images are big.I was told that, sometimes, the browser does not see that the current version is a new one and loads it from the cache (actually, it never detected that there is a newer version and I always had to erase the cache). How can we tell the browser "now, load the swf from cache" or "now, don't load the swf from cache".
I have problem with control external loaded swf.In the "main.swf" I have empty MovieClip "_root.container".[code]The last line do not working when I publish my swf and open HTML in browser,BUT on the local machine - working perfect.

View 3 RepliesI've loaded an external SWF into an empty MC named "M1" using this[code]...
Now I want to control the timeline of the external SWF from the main movie timeline. How do I reference the child of the M1 object in AS3? example: M1.child.stop(); (doesn't work of course).
I'm working on an flash movie and the interface is a small town (simiar to "doritos.com" and "comcasttown.com") if you reference both the doritos and comcast sites their little movie runs smoothly. I have several elements in the town. For example, one of the elements is an airplane hangar. When you rollover the hanger, I created a movie, the doors open and an airplane flies out of the hangar. I have several little movies throughout the interactive such as this. I created the hangar animation as a seperate swf file. In my main movie I created a button, on rollover it loads the hangar swf into an empty movieclip. When I publish and view the swf it plays slow and choppy. First, is it possible to write actionscript to load the external swf ,but it stops on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover it continues to play.To put it all in a nutshell, I want to create several buttons throughout the movie with loadmovie functions, once the swf movies are loaded I want them to stop on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover loaded swf movie I want it to continue to play the animation. Should actionscript be applied to the swf movies first and preloaded into the main movie. And what will make the movies run smoothly once it's published and viewed in a browser.Also if this makes a difference, I created the animations in after effects, exported them as FLVs imported them into flash and exported them as swf. Again it runs really slow and choppy
View 1 Repliesi work in a project and i saw this problem when i want to control swf loaded file i made slider that will control loaded swf but the problem is i can't control sound and animation in the same time.i mean that when user click the slider and start drag it this slider must work as a player that control sound and the movie itself.But i can't control both at the same time when i take slider value and give it to the sound object like this lider.maximum=snd.length.snd.play(slider.value); / /it will play the sound but at the same time i must say gotoAndPlay(slider.value);

I'm trying to control my main.swf through a loaded .swf.
My goals are. 1. load the external swf into main.swf and have a movieclip in the external swf play. (the movie clip in the external swf should play without any code, however, when the external swf loads, the movie clip goes to the last frame of itself for some reason)
2. I have an "X" button on the loaded.swf itself that should dismiss the loaded swf and cause my navigation on my main.swf to reappear.
Here is my loader code in main.swf:
Code:
var _urlx:Loader = new Loader();
_urlx.load(new URLRequest("loadBlank.swf"));
var _url1:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
As of now, my navigation in main.swf does reappear when the "X" in the loaded.swf is clicked, but I need a way to unload the currently loaded swf when the "X" button is clicked..
I've tried remove child, checking to see if the loaded child is not null, but that didn't work either...
I can't understand what i did wrong.i loaded an external SWF, and i want to control it's current frames.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a portfolio site, with simple navigation between pages (layers), nothing too tricky.
one of the projects is a video. I've imported it to Flash as an external video with playback component and it works fine when I play the flash movie.
the problem is, when I navigate away from that project page, the movie goes on running - I can tell by the sound.
how can I make the video stop when I navigate away from its page?

The loaded SWF 'bt_latex10.swf' have an instance named 'mcTemplate' in its stage. Since it is being loaded into a new empty movieclip called 'mcBalloonBase' that is at the stage of main movie, why it is returning undefined? How can I access the 'mcTemplate' after it be loaded?

View 7 RepliesI am using Flash CS3. I have a dynamic text box that scrolls text loaded from an external txt file (made in Notepad).
I was wondering if there is a way that I could better control the style (color, font size, bold, paragraph breaks, etc) of the text?? I know that in flash I can specify the font type, size and alignment. But I want to also make some parts of the text BOLD and DIFFERENT COLORS. Perhaps I can use html tags within Notepad to do this?? If so, HOW??...beacuse I have tryed and it didn't work....the tags just showed up in the flash file along with the text, it didn't read them as html (and yes, I set my dynamic text box to render html).[code]...
